Fidaxomicin (trade names DificidDificlir, and previously OPT-80 and PAR-101) is the first in a new class of narrow spectrummacrocyclic antibiotic drugs.[2] It is a fermentation product obtained from the actinomycete Dactylosporangium aurantiacum subspecies hamdenesis.[3][4] Fidaxomicin is non-systemic, meaning it is minimally absorbed into the bloodstream, it is bactericidal, and it has demonstrated selective eradication of pathogenic Clostridium difficile with minimal disruption to the multiple species ofbacteria that make up the normal, healthy intestinal flora. The maintenance of normal physiological conditions in the colon can reduce the probability of Clostridium difficile infection recurrence.[5] [6]

It is marketed by Cubist Pharmaceuticals after acquisition of its the originating company Optimer Pharmaceuticals. The target use is for treatment of Clostridium difficile infection. Fidaxomicin is available in a 200 mg tablet that is administered every 12 hours for a recommended duration of 10 days. Total duration of therapy should be determined by the patient’s clinical status. It is currently one of the most expensive antibiotics approved for use. A 20 tab pack costs upwards of £1350.[7]

Fidaxomicin works by inhibiting the bacterial enzyme RNA polymerase, resulting in the death of Clostridium difficile.[8] It is active against Gram positive bacteria especially clostridia. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) range for C. difficile (ATCC 700057) is 0.03–0.25 μg/mL.[3]

Approvals and indications

For the treatment of CDAD (Clostridium difficile-Associated diarrhea), the drug won an FDA advisory panel’s unanimous approval on April 5, 2011.[14] and full FDA approval on May 27, 2011.[15]

Fidaxomicin is an antibiotic approved and launched in 2011 in the U.S. for the treatment of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) in adults 18 years of age and older. In September 2011, the product received a positive opinion in the E.U. and final approval was assigned in December 2011. First E.U. launch took place in the U.K. in June 2012. Optimer Pharmaceuticals is conducting phase III clinical trials for the prevention of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Preclinical studies are ongoing for potential use in the prevention of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus (MRS) infection. Early clinical studies had been under way for the prevention and treatment of vancomycin-resistant enterococcal (VRE) infection; however, no recent development has been reported for this indication.

The compound is a novel macrocyclic antibiotic that is produced by fermentation. Its narrow-spectrum activity is highly selective for C. difficile, thus preserving gut microbial ecology, an important consideration for the treatment of CDAD.

In May 2005, Par Pharmaceutical and Optimer entered into a joint development and collaboration agreement for fidaxomicin. However, rights to the compound were returned to Optimer in 2007. The compound was granted fast track status by the FDA in 2003. In 2010, orphan drug designation was assigned to fidaxomicin in the U.S. by Optimer Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of pediatric Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). In 2011, the compound was licensed by Optimer Pharmaceuticals to Astellas Pharma in Europe and certain countries in the Middle East, Africa, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and Japan for the treatment of CDAD. In 2011, fidaxomicin was licensed to Cubist by Optimer Pharmaceuticals for comarketing in the U.S. for the treatment of CDAD. In July 2012, the product was licensed by Optimer Pharmaceuticals to Specialised Therapeutics Australia in AU and NZ for the treatment of Clostridium difficile-associated infection. OBI Pharma holds exclusive commercial rights in Taiwan, where the compound was approved for the treatment of CDAD in September 2012, and in December 2012, the product was licensed to AstraZeneca in South America with commercialization rights also for the treatment of CDAD. 

Clinical trials

Good results were reported in 2009 from a North American phase III trial comparing it with oral vancomycin for the treatment ofClostridium difficile infection (CDI)[9][10] The study met its primary endpoint of clinical cure, showing that fidaxomicin was non-inferior to oral vancomycin (92.1% vs. 89.8%). In addition, the study met its secondary endpoint of recurrence: 13.3% of the subjects had a recurrence with fidaxomicin vs. 24.0% with oral vancomycin. The study also met its exploratory endpoint of global cure (77.7% for fidaxomicin vs. 67.1% for vancomycin).[11] Clinical cure was defined as patients requiring no further CDI therapy two days after completion of study medication. Global cure was defined as patients who were cured at the end of therapy and did not have a recurrence in the next 4 weeks.[12]

Fidaxomicin was shown to be as good as the current standard-of-care, vancomycin, for treating CDI in a Phase III trial published in February 2011.[13] The authors also reported significantly fewer recurrences of infection, a frequent problem with C. difficile, and similar drug side effects.

Phase II

Capromorelin (CP-424,391) is an investigational medication developed by the Pfizer drug company.[2] [3] It functions as a growth hormone secretagogue and ghrelin mimetic which causes the body to secrete human growth hormone in a way usually seen at puberty and in young adulthood. Initial studies have shown the drug to directly raise insulin growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and growth hormone levels.[4]

The drug is being considered for its therapeutic value in aging adults because elderly people have much lower levels of growth hormone and less lean muscle mass, which can result in weakness and frailty.[5]

In a one-year treatment trial (starting 1999) with 395 seniors between 65 and 84 years old, patients who received the drug gained an average of 3 lb (1.4 kg) in lean body mass in the first six months and also were better able to walk in a straight line in a test of balance, strength and coordination. After 12 months, patients receiving capromorelin also had an improved ability to climb stairs, however the results were not good enough to continue the trial for the 2nd planned year.[6]

Capromorelin, however, has not been approved by major regulatory bodies such as the World Health Organization, the European Medicines Agency or the United States FDA. In the U.S. at least, approval is not expected to be forthcoming any time soon, because the FDA does not consider aging a disease, and so requires extraordinary evidence of benefit and non-toxicity to approve a drug for use as an anti-aging agent.[7]

Ghrelin is a peptide that promotes a growth hormone secreted by the stomach and exhibits a variety of physiological effects, including the promotion of appetite, gastrointestinal tract motility and stomach acid secretion, as well as improved heart function. Capromorelin (RQ-00000005) is a ghrelin receptor agonist and, because it has been shown to increase body weight without increasing body fat and to improve motility and appetite in the elderly, it has the potential for many uses, including frailty and GERD.

The intermediate dipeptide (VI) was prepared by two similar ways. Treatment of N-Boc-O-benzyl-D-serine (I) with MeI and K2CO3 produced the methyl ester (II). Subsequent deprotection of the Boc group of (II) with trifluoroacetic acid gave aminoester (III), which was coupled with N-Boc-alpha-methylalanine (IV) using EDC and HOBt yielding (V). Hydrolysis of the resulting dipeptide ester (V) then provided intermediate (VI). In an alternative procedure, N-Boc-alpha-methyl alanine (IV) was activated as the N-hydroxysuccinimidyl ester (VII), which was condensed with O-benzyl-D-serine (VIII) to produce dipeptide (VI).

Methyl 4-oxopiperidine-3-carboxylate (IX) was protected as the tert-butyl carbamate (X) with Boc2O. This was alkylated with benzyl bromide in the presence of NaH to provide the racemic benzyl derivative (XI). Subsequent cyclization of (XI) with methylhydrazine produced the pyrazolopyridine (XII), which was deprotected with trifluoroacetic acid. The resulting amine (XIII) was then coupled with dipeptide (VI) using EDC and HOBt to afford the diastereomeric amides (XIV). After chromatographic isolation of the (R,R)-diastereoisomer, acid deprotection of the Boc group furnished the title compound.

Molecular Formula: C17H31N7O9   Molecular Weight: 477.46954

Taltirelin (marketed under the tradename Ceredist) is a thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) analog, which mimics the physiological actions of TRH, but with a much longer half-life and duration of effects,[1] and little development of tolerance following prolonged dosing.[2] It has nootropic,[3] neuroprotective[4] and analgesic effects.[5]

Taltirelin is primarily being researched for the treatment of spinocerebellar ataxia; limited research has also been carried out with regard to other neurodegenerative disorders, e.g., spinal muscular atrophy.[6][7][8]

Taltirelin is a thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) analog that was first commercialized by Tanabe Seiyaku (now Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma) in Japan in 2000 for the oral treatment of ataxia due to spinocerebellar degeneration.

In 2008, the company filed a regulatory application seeking approval of taltirelin orally disintegrating tablets for the treatment of spinocerebellar degeneration, and in 2009 the approval was received for this formulation.

TRH is a tripeptide hormone that stimulates the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone and prolactin by the anterior pituitary. TRH is produced by the hypothalamus and travels across the median eminence to the pituitary via the hypophyseal portal system.

Taltirelin (TAL) is a thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) analog that is approved for use in humans in Japan. In this study, we characterized TAL binding to and signaling by the human TRH receptor (TRH-R) in a model cell system. We found that TAL exhibited lower binding affinities than TRH and lower signaling potency via the inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate/calcium pathway than TRH. However, TAL exhibited higher intrinsic efficacy than TRH in stimulating inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate second messenger generation. This is the first study that elucidates the pharmacology of TAL at TRH-R and shows that TAL is a superagonist at TRH-R

EXAMPLE 2

(1) 1.56 g of 1-methyl-L-4,5-dihydroorotic acid and 1.15 g of N-hydroxysuccinimide are dissolved in 30 ml of dimethylformamide, and 2.06 g of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide are added thereto at 0° C. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The solution thus obtained is hereinafter referred to as “Solution A”. On the other hand, 3.43 g of benzyl L-histidyl-L-prolinate.2HCl are dissolved in dimethylformamide, and 1.67 g of triethylamine are added thereto. The mixture is stirred at 0° C. for 20 minutes, and insoluble materials are filtered off. The filtrate is added to “Solution A”, and the mixture is stirred at 0° C. for 4 hours and then at 10° C. for one day. Insoluble materials are filtered off, and the filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure at 40° C. to remove dimethylformamide.

Lilly’s diabetes drug outshines world’s most popular insulin

World News | May 13, 2014

Late-stage clinical data has shown Lilly’s experimental diabetes drug Peglispro to be better at reducing blood sugar in patients with type II diabetes than Sanofi’s Lantus – the world’s most prescribed insulin.

The US drugmaker says it expects to file for approval of its basal insulin (BIL) by the first quarter of next year, after three Phase III studies showed it induced “a statistically superior reduction in HbA1c” compared with Lantus.

GSK2606414  is an orally available, potent, and selective PERK inhibitor. GSK2606414 inhibits PERK activation in cells and inhibits the growth of a human tumor xenograft in mice. Protein kinase R (PKR)-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) is activated in response to a variety of endoplasmic reticulum stresses implicated in numerous disease states. Evidence that PERK is implicated in tumorigenesis and cancer cell survival stimulated our search for small molecule inhibitors. (12/13/2013).

The chemical structures of GSK2606414  and GSK2656157 are very similar. The following graphic is a side-by-side comparison.

GSK2606414-GSK2656157 structure

 

GSK2606414 is a drug which is the first selective inhibitor discovered for the enzyme protein kinase R (PKR)-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK), which is involved in various processes relating to cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. GSK2606414 was found to be a potent and selective inhibitor of PERK, with good oral bioavailability and blood-brain barrier penetration.[1] PERK mediates the unfolded protein response pathway which is involved in the initiation of protein synthesis, and this pathway has been implicated in the neurotoxicity of various diseases including prion and Alzheimer’s diseases. Treatment with GSK2606414 was found to be neuroprotective in mice against damage caused by prions, and prevented the development of cognitive deficits and other clinical manifestations of prion disease. Extension of lifespan in treated mice was, however, not recorded. However, side effects such as weight loss and elevated blood glucose levels were also observed, likely due to unwanted inhibition of PERK in the pancreas gland, where it is involved in regulating insulin production.[2]

Saracatinib (AZD0530) is a highly selective, orally available, dual-specific Src/Abl kinase inhibitor with IC50 of 2.7 and 30 nM for c-Src and Abl kinase, respectively.Saracatinib (AZD0530) demonstrated potent antimigratory and antiinvasive effects in vitro, and inhibited metastasis in a murine model of bladder cancer. Antiproliferative activity of AZD0530 in vitro varied between cell lines (IC50=0.2 ~10 mM).

c-Src, Bcr–Abl, Yes1, Lck.target

AZD0530 is orally available 5-, 7-substituted anilinoquinazoline with anti-invasive and anti-tumor activities. AZD0530 is a dual-specific inhibitor of Src and Abl, protein tyrosine kinases that are overexpressed in chronic myeloid leukemia cells. This agent binds to and inhibits these tyrosine kinases and their effects on cell motility, cell migration, adhesion, invasion, proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Specifically, AZD0530 inhibits Src kinase-mediated osteoclast bone resorption.

AZD-0530 is a highly selective, dual-specific small molecule Src/Abl kinase inhibitor currently in phase II/III clinical trials at AstraZeneca for the treatment of ovarian cancer. Phase II clinical trials are also under way at the company for the treatment of solid tumors and hematological neoplasms. The Mayo Clinic is developing AZD-0530 in phase II clinical studies for the treatment of metastatic pancreas cancer.

Additional phase II trials are under way at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for the treatment of colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, stomach cancer, soft tissue sarcoma, stage II or IV melanoma and thymic malignancies. A phase II trial for pancreatic cancer has been suspended. Src and Abl kinase are highly expressed in various human tumor types. No recent development has been reported for research into the treatment of head and neck cancer.

Phase II study of Saracatinib (AZD0530) for for the treatment of patients with hormone receptor-negative metastatic breast cancer : Nine patients were treated on study. After a median of 2 cycles (range 1-3), no patient had achieved CR, PR, or SD >6 months. The median time to treatment failure was 82 days (12-109 days).The majority (89%) of patients discontinued saracatinib because of disease progression. One patient acquired potentially treatment-related grade 4 hypoxia with interstitial infiltrates and was removed from the study. Common adverse events included fatigue, elevated liver enzymes, nausea, hyponatremia, dyspnea, cough, and adrenal insufficiency. CONCLUSIONS:  These efficacy results were not sufficiently promising to justify continued accrual to this study. Based on this series, saracatinib does not appear to have significant single-agent activity for the treatment of patients with ER(-)/PR(-) MBC. (source: Clin Breast Cancer. 2011 Oct;11(5):306-11.)

Phase II study of  Saracatinib (AZD0530) in patients with metastatic or locally advanced gastric or gastro esophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma:  Saracatinib has insufficient activity as a single agent in patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma to warrant further investigation. Further development in gastric cancer would require rational drug combinations or identification of a tumor phenotype sensitive to Src inhibition. (source: Invest New Drugs. 2011 Mar 12. [Epub ahead of print]).

  

Phase II study of saracatinib (AZD0530) for patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Nine patients were enrolled. All patients had received prior radiotherapy and six patients had received prior chemotherapy for recurrent or metastatic disease. The most common adverse event was fatigue. Eight patients had progression of disease by response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) within the first eight-week cycle and one patient was removed from the study after 11 days due to clinical decline with stable disease according to the RECIST criteria. Median overall survival was six months. The study was closed early due to lack of efficacy according to the early stopping rule. CONCLUSION: Single-agent saracatinib does not merit further study in recurrent or metastatic HNSCC. (source: Anticancer Res. 2011 Jan;31(1):249-53.)

4-(6-chloro-2,3-methylenedioxyanilino)- 7-[2-(4-methylpiperazin-l -yl)ethoxy]-5-tetrahydropyran-4-yloxyquinazoline which compound is disclosed as Compound No. 73 within the Table in Example 14 of International Patent Application WO 01/94341. That compound is described herein by way of the Formula I

and as AZD0530, the code number by which the compound is known.

AZD0530 is an inhibitor of the Src family of non-receptor tyrosine kinase enzymes and, thereby, is a selective inhibitor of the motility of tumour cells and a selective inhibitor of the dissemination and invasiveness of mammalian cancer cells leading to inhibition of metastatic tumour growth. In particular, the compound AZD0530 is an inhibitor of c-Src non-receptor tyrosine kinase and should be of value as an anti-invasive agent for use in the containment and/or treatment of solid tumour disease in the human or animal body. The route for preparing the compound of the Formula I that is disclosed in International Patent Application WO 01/94341 involves the reaction of the compound 4-(6-chloro-2,3-methylenedioxyanilino)-7-hydroxy-5-tetrahydropyran-4-yloxyquinazoline with an alkylating agent to form the 2-(4-methylpiperazin-l-yl)ethoxy side-chain at the 7-position. The product of the reaction is disclosed in WO 01/94341 in the form of a dihydrochloride salt and in the form of a free base.

Example 14 4-(6-chloro-2,3-methylenedioxyaniIino)-7-[2-(4-methyIpiperazin-l-yI)ethoxy]- 5-tetrahydropyran-4-yloxyquinazoline (route 4)

Under an atmosphere of nitrogen gas, l-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-methylpiperazine (13.93 g) was added to a stirred mixture of 4-(6-chloro-2,3-methylenedioxyanilino)-7-fluoro- 5-tetrahydropyran-4-yloxyquinazoline (12.9 g), sodium te/t-pentoxide (9.87 g) and 1 ,2-diethoxyethane (37.5 ml). Water (1.34 g) and 1,2-diethoxyethane (25 ml) were added and the resultant reaction mixture was stirred and heated to 86°C for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to 5O0C and, under vacuum distillation at approximately 60 millibar pressure, approximately 50 ml of reaction solvent was distilled off. The reaction mixture was neutralised to pH 7.0 to 7.6 by the addition of a mixture of concentrated aqueous hydrochloric acid (36%, 10 ml) and water (84 ml) at a rate that kept the temperature of the reaction mixture at a maximum of 6O0C. With the temperature of the reaction mixture being kept at 6O0C, the reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (225 ml). The organic solution was washed with water (50 ml). Water (25 ml) was added and, with the temperature being kept at 6O0C, the mixture was stirred for 10 minutes, then allowed to stand for 30 minutes and the aqueous layer was separated. The organic layer was concentrated to a volume of about 100 ml by distillation of solvent at about 9O0C under atmospheric pressure. The residual mixture was cooled during 1 hour to 450C and held at that temperature for 2 hours to allow crystallisation of product. The mixture was warmed briefly to 550C and then cooled during 4 hours to 180C and held at that temperature for 1 hour. The crystalline precipitate was isolated by filtration and washed in turn with water (17 ml) and with tø’t-butyl methyl ether (17 ml). There was thus obtained 4-(6-chloro-2,3-πiethylenedioxyanilino)-7-[2-(4-methylpiperazin-l-yl)ethoxy]- 5-tetrahydropyran-4-yloxyquinazoline as a trihydrate (11 g; 88% purity by HPLC using Method B, retention time 7.3 minutes); NMR Spectrum: (CDCl3) 1.65 (br s, 3H), 1.9-2.05 (m, 2H), 2.2-2.3 (m, 2H), 2.31 (s, 3H), 2.4-2.8 (m, 8H), 2.9 (m, 2H), 3.6-3.7 (m, 2H), 3.95-4.05 (m, 2H), 4.2-4.25 (m, 2H), 4.8 (m,lH), 6.05 (s, 2H), 6.55 (s, IH), 6.75 (d, IH), 6.85 (s, IH), 7.0 (d, IH), 8.55 (s, IH), 9.25 (s, IH).

A portion (10 g) of the material so obtained was placed on a filter and dried at ambient temperature in a stream of dry nitrogen gas. The resultant material was dissolved at 6O0C in dry isopropanol (140 ml) whilst maintaining a dry nitrogen atmosphere. The solution was allowed to cool to ambient temperature and to stand under a dry nitrogen atmosphere for 2 days. The resultant crystalline solid was isolated by filtration under a dry nitrogen atmosphere. The material (8 g) so obtained was a crystalline anhydrous form of 4-(6-chloro-2,3-methylenedioxyanilino)-7-[2-(4-methylpiperazin-l -yl)ethoxy]- 5-tetrahydropyran-4-yloxyquinazoline, m.p. 142 to 1440C.

A mixture of fumaric acid (12.8 g), isopropanol (200 ml) and water (40 ml) was heated to 😯0C. A portion (80 ml) of the warmed solution of the quinazoline compound was added to the fumaric acid solution whilst the temperature was maintained at 750C. The resultant mixture was stirred at 750C for 75 minutes. The remainder of the quinazoline compound solution was added during 1 hour whilst the temperature was maintained at 750C. Isopropanol (50 ml) was added and the resultant mixture was stirred at 750C for 7 hours. The mixture was cooled slowly over at least 25 minutes to 5O0C and was stirred at that temperature for 6 hours. The mixture was cooled slowly over at least 20 minutes to 2O0C and was stirred at that temperature for 18.5 hours. The crystalline solid was isolated by filtration, washed twice with a 10:1 mixture of isopropanol and water (50 ml and 100 ml respectively) and dried in vacuo at 450C to constant weight. There was thus obtained 4-(6-chloro- 2,3-methylenedioxyanilino)-7-[2-(4-methylρiperazin-l-yl)ethoxy]-5-tetrahydropyran- 4-yloxyquinazoline difumarate salt (37.0 g); m.p. 233-2370C; NMR Spectrum: (DMSOd6) 1.76-1.88 (m, 2H), 2.1-2.17 (m, 2H)5 2.33 (s, 3H), 2.6 (br s, 8H), 2.78 (t, 2H), 3.51-3.6 (m, 2H)3 3.83-3.9 (m, 2H), 4.24 (t, 2H)5 4.98-5.07 (m, IH), 6.07 (s, 2H)3 6.6 (s, 4H)5 6.83 (d5 IH)3 6.84 (d, IH)5 6.91 (d3 IH)5 7.05 (d, IH)3 8.33 (s, IH)3 9.18 (s, IH).

The sample was allowed to evaporate slowly at ambient temperature to a volume of about 3 ml under a flow of air for 24 hours whereupon a precipitate had started to form. The mixture was placed in a refridgerator at 4°C for 2 days. The resultant precipitate was isolated by filtration and washed with water. There was thus obtained 4-(6-chloro-253-methylenedioxyanilino)-7-[2-(4-methylpiperazin-l-yl)ethoxy]- 5-tetrahydropyran-4-yloxyquinazoline as a sesquifumarate tetrahydrate salt (0.084 g) which was characterised using XRPD5 DSC5 TGA5 FTIR and solution NMR techniques.

Abstract Image

Process research and development of a synthetic route towards a novel SRC kinase inhibitor is described. The Medicinal Chemistry route was very long and suffered from extensive use of chlorinated solvents and chromatography. A number of steps in the Medicinal Chemistry route were also unattractive for large-scale use for a variety of reasons. The route was modified to produce a shorter synthetic scheme that started from more readily available materials. By using the modified route, the title compound was manufactured on kilogram scale without recourse to chromatography and in significantly fewer steps. The scaled synthesis required two Mitsunobu couplings, which were developed and scaled successfully. An interesting hydrazine impurity was identified in the second Mitsunobu coupling; a mechanism for its formation is proposed, and a method for its control is described. The formation and control of some other interesting impurities are also described.

N-(5-Chloro-1,3-benzodioxol-4-yl)-7-[2-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)ethoxy]-5-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yloxy)quinazolin-4-amine Difumarate (AZD0530 Difumarate)

To a slurry of 30 (2.139 kg at 92% w/w, 4.73 mol) and DTAD (2.771 kg, 12.03 mol) in THF (31 L) at ambient temperature in a 100 L vessel was added a solution of triphenylphosphine (3.057 kg, 11.66 mol) in THF (8 L) over 15 min. A THF (2 L) line wash was applied, and the mixture was stirred for 10 min. The reaction mixture was cooled to 15 °C, and a filtered (to remove undissolved particulates) solution of 31 (1.050 L, 1.049 kg, 7.27 mol) in THF …DELETED…………………………….The mixture was filtered and the cake washed with IPA (7 L as a slurry wash and 7 L as a displacement wash) before drying to constant weight under reduced pressure at 50 °C to give AZD0530 difumarate (3.546 kg at 89% w/w, 4.08 mol, 86% yield).

Final Purification of N-(5-Chloro-1,3-benzodioxol-4-yl)-7-[2-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)ethoxy]-5-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yloxy)quinazolin-4-amine Difumarate (AZD0530 Difumarate)

AZD0530 difumarate (4.234 kg at 89% w/w, 4.87 mol) was refluxed in a mixture of IPA (10.L) and water (10.L, Fresenius). A solution was not obtained, so further IPA (450 mL) and water (450 mL, Fresenius) were added, and the mixture was refluxed. The resulting solution was cooled to 68 °C and screened over 3.5 min through a 20 μm in-line filter into a vessel preheated to 65 °C. IPA(20.4 L) at 65 °C was added via the first vessel and in-line filter, and the resulting solution was stirred at 65 °C for 2 h. Crystallisation was evident after 20 min. The mixture was allowed to self-cool to ambient temperature overnight before filtering and washing the cake with a mixture (prescreened through a 20 μm membrane) of water (640 mL) and IPA (5.76 L). The cake was washed with IPA (6.4 L, prescreened) and MTBE (6.4 L, prescreened) and dried to constant weight under reduced pressure at 50 °C to give AZD0530 difumarate (2.865 kg, at 95.2% w/w, 3.52 mol, 72% yield). Spectroscopic analysis was in agreement with the reported data…………Ford, J. G.; McCabe, J. F.; O’Kearney-McMullan, A.; O’Keefe, P.; Pointon, S. M.; Powell, L.; Purdie, M.; Withnall, J.
