Marizomib, a highly potent proteasome inhibitor, is in early clinical development at Triphase Research and Development I Corp for the treatment of relapsed or relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. Phase I clinical trials have also been carried out for the treatment of solid tumors and lymphoma; however, no recent developments have been reported for these studies.
HDAC inhibitors halt tumor cell differentiation and growth, and when combined with marizomib in preclinical in vitro and in vivo studies, show additive and synergistic antitumor activities.
The compound was discovered from a new marine-obligate gram-positive actinomycete (Salinispora tropica). Preclinical studies suggest that this next-generation compound may be superior to other proteasome inhibitors, with broader target inhibition, faster onset and longer duration of action, higher potency, and oral and intravenous availability. By inhibiting proteasomes, marizomib prevents the breakdown of proteins involved in signal transduction, which blocks growth and induces apoptosis in cancer cells.
In 2013, orphan drug designation was assigned in the U.S. for the treatment of multiple myeloma.
The compound was originally developed by Nereus Pharmaceuticals, which was acquired by Triphase Research and Development in 2012.
marizomib is a naturally-occurring salinosporamide, isolated from the marine actinomycete Salinospora tropica, with potential antineoplastic activity. Marizomib irreversibly binds to and inhibits the 20S catalytic core subunit of the proteasome by covalently modifying its active site threonine residues; inhibition of ubiquitin-proteasome mediated proteolysis results in an accumulation of poly-ubiquitinated proteins, which may result in the disruption of cellular processes, cell cycle arrest, the induction of apoptosis, and the inhibition of tumor growth and angiogenesis. This agent more may more potent and selective than the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib
Marizomib (NPI-0052) is an oral, irreversible ββ-lactone derivative that binds selectively to the active proteasomal sites. In vivo studies with marizomib demonstrate reduced tumor growth without significant toxicity in myeloma xenograft models. A phase I trial in refractory and relapsed MM is under way.
Salinosporamide A is a potent proteasome inhibitor used as an anticancer agent that recently entered phase I human clinical trials for the treatment of multiple myeloma only three years after its discovery.[1][2] This novel marine natural product is produced by the recently described obligate marine bacteria Salinispora tropica and Salinispora arenicola, which are found in ocean sediment. Salinosporamide A belongs to a family of compounds, known collectively as salinosporamides, which possess a densely functionalized γ-lactam-β-lactone bicyclic core.
Salinosporamide A was discovered by William Fenical and Paul Jensen from Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, CA. In preliminary screening, a high percentage of the organic extracts of cultured Salinospora strains possessed antibiotic and anticancer activities, which suggests that these bacteria are an excellent resource for drug discovery.Salinospora strain CNB-392 was isolated from a heat-treated marine sediment sample and cytotoxicity-guided fractionation of the crude extract led to the isolation of salinosporamide A. Although salinosporamide A shares an identical bicyclic ring structure with omuralide, it is uniquely functionalized. Salinosporamide A displayed potent in vitro cytotoxicity against HCT-116 human colon carcinoma with an IC50 value of 11 ng mL-1. This compound also displayed potent and highly selective activity in the NCI’s 60-cell-line panel with a mean GI50 value (the concentration required to achieve 50% growth inhibition) of less than 10 nM and a greater than 4 log LC50 differential between resistant and susceptible cell lines. The greatest potency was observed against NCI-H226 non-small cell lung cancer, SF-539 CNS cancer, SK-MEL-28 melanoma, and MDA-MB-435 breast cancer (all with LC50 values less than 10 nM). Salinosporamide A was tested for its effects on proteasome function because of its structural relationship to omuralide. When tested against purified 20S proteasome, salinosporamide A inhibited proteasomal chymotrypsin-like proteolytic activity with an IC50 value of 1.3 nM.[3] This compound is approximately 35 times more potent than omuralide which was tested as a positive control in the same assay. Thus, the unique functionalization of the core bicyclic ring structure of salinosporamide A appears to have resulted in a molecule that is a significantly more potent proteasome inhibitor than omuralide.[1]
Salinosporamide A inhibits proteasome activity by covalently modifying the active site threonine residues of the 20S proteasome.
Biosynthesis
It was originally hypothesized that salinosporamide B was a biosynthetic precursor to salinosporamide A due to their structural similarities.
It was thought that the halogenation of the unactivated methyl group was catalyzed by a non-heme iron halogenase.[4][5]Recent work using 13C-labeled feeding experiments reveal distinct biosynthetic origins of salinosporamide A and B.[4][6]
While they share the biosynthetic precursors acetate and presumed β-hydroxycyclohex-2′-enylalanine (3), they differ in the origin of the four-carbon building block that gives rise to their structural differences involving the halogen atom. A hybrid polyketide synthase-nonribosomal peptide synthetase (PKS-NRPS) pathway is most likely the biosynthetic mechanism in which acetyl-CoA and butyrate-derived ethylmalonyl-CoA condense to yield the β-ketothioester (4), which then reacts with (3) to generate the linear precursor (5).
The first stereoselective synthesis was reported by Rajender Reddy Leleti and E. J.Corey.[7] Later several routes to the total synthesis of salinosporamide A have been reported.[7][8][9][10]
In vitro studies using purified 20S proteasomes showed that salinosporamide A has lower EC50 for trypsin-like (T-L) activity than does Bortezomib. In vivo animal model studies show marked inhibition of T-L activity in response to salinosporamide A, whereas bortezomib enhances T-L proteasome activity.
Initial results from early-stage clinical trials of salinosporamide A in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma patients were presented at the 2011 American Society of Hematology annual meeting.[11] Further early-stage trials of the drug in a number of different cancers are ongoing.[12]

Salinosporamide A(1) was recently discovered by Fenical et al. as a bioactive product of a marine microorganism that is widely distributed in ocean sediments. Feeling, R. H.; Buchanan, G. O.; Mincer, T. J.; Kauffman, C. A.; Jensen, P. R.; Fenical, W., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 2003, 42, 355–357.
Structurally Salinosporamide A closely resembles the terrestrial microbial product omuralide (2a) that was synthesized by Corey et al. several years ago and demonstrated to be a potent inhibitor of proteasome function. See, (a) Corey, E. J.; Li, W. D., Z. Chem. Pharm. Bull., 1999, 47, 1–10; (b) Corey, E. J., Reichard, G. A.; Kania, R., Tetrahedron Lett., 1993, 34, 6977–6980; (c) Corey, E. J.; Reichard, G. A., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1992, 114, 10677–10678; (d) Fenteany, G.; Standaert, R. F.; Reichard, G. A.; Corey, E. J.; Schreiber, S. L., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1994, 91, 3358–3362.
Omuralide is generated by β-lactonization of the N-acetylcysteine thiolester lactacystin (2b) that was first isolated by the Omura group as a result of microbial screening for nerve growth factor-like activity. See, Omura, S., Fujimoto, T., Otoguro, K., Matsuzaki, K., Moriguchi, R., Tanaka, H., Sasaki, Y., Antibiot., 1991, 44, 113–116; Omura, S., Matsuzaki, K., Fujimoto, T., Kosuge, K., Furuya, T., Fujita, S., Nakagawa, A., J. Antibiot., 1991, 44, 117–118.
Salinosporamide A, the first compound Fenical’s group isolated from Salinospora, not only had a never-before-seen chemical structure 1, but is also a highly selective and potent inhibitor of cancer-cell growth. The compound is an even more effective proteasome inhibitor than omuralide and, in addition, it displays surprisingly high in vitro cytotoxic activity against many tumor cell lines (IC50values of 10 nM or less). Fenical et al. first found the microbe, which they’ve dubbed Salinospora, off the coasts of the Bahamas and in the Red Sea. See,Appl. Environ. Microbiol., 68, 5005 (2002).
Fenical et al. have shown that Salinospora species requires a salt environment to live. Salinospora thrives in hostile ocean-bottom conditions: no light, low temperature, and high pressure. The Fenical group has now identified Salinosporain five oceans, and with 10,000 organisms per cm3 of sediment and several distinct strains in each sample; and according to press reports, they’ve been able to isolate 5,000 strains. See, Chemical & Engineering News, 81, 37 (2003).
A great percentage of the cultures Fenical et al. have tested are said to have shown both anticancer and antibiotic activity. Like omuralide 2a, salinosporamide A inhibits the proteasome, an intracellular enzyme complex that destroys proteins the cell no longer needs. Without the proteasome, proteins would build up and clog cellular machinery. Fast-growing cancer cells make especially heavy use of the proteasome, so thwarting its action is a compelling drug strategy. See, Fenical et al., U.S. Patent Publication No. 2003-0157695A1

The chemical name of ramosetron is (−)-(R)-5-[(1-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)carbonyl]-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-benzimidazole, and it has the structure represented by the formula (II).
It is known that ramosetron or a salt thereof has a potent 5-HT3 receptor antagonism (Patent Reference 1, Non-patent references 1 and 2), and it is on the market as a preventive or therapeutic agent for digestive symptoms (nausea, emesis) caused by administration of an anti-malignant tumor agent (cisplatin or the like). In addition, a possibility has been reported that ramosetron or a salt thereof may be useful as an agent for treating diarrheal-type irritable bowel syndrome or an agent for improving diarrheal symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (Patent Reference 1), and its clinical trials are now in progress as an agent for treating diarrheal-type irritable bowel syndrome or an agent for improving diarrheal symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.
As a process for producing ramosetron or a salt thereof, the following production methods are known.
Patent Reference 1 describes a production method shown by the following Production method A, namely a method for producing a tetrahydrobenzimidazole derivative (V) by allowing a heterocyclic compound (III) to react with a carboxylic acid represented by a formula (IV) or its reactive derivative.
(Production Method A)
(In the formula, X2 is a single bond and binds to a carbon atom on the heterocyclic ring represented by Het.)
As an illustrative production method of ramosetron, Patent Reference 1 describes a production method (Production method A-1) in which racemic ramosetron are obtained by using 1-methyl-1H-indole as the compound (III), and N,N-diethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzimidazole-5-carboxamide or N-[(4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzimidazol-5-yl)carbonyl]pyrrolidine, which are acid amides, as the reactive derivative of compound (IV), and allowing them to undergo treatment with phosphorus oxychloride (Vilsmeyer reaction), and then their optical resolution is carried out by fractional crystallization using (+)-dibenzoyltartaric acid.
In addition, the Patent Reference 1 exemplifies an acid halide as one of the reactive derivatives of the compound (IV), and also describes another production method of the compound (V) (Production method A-2) in which the heterocyclic compound (III) is condensed with an acid halide of the compound (IV) by the Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction using a Lewis acid as the catalyst. However, illustrative production example of ramosetron by the Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction is not described therein.
Also, a method similar to the Production example A-1 is described in Non-patent References 1 and 2 as a production method of ramosetron.
In addition, Non-patent Reference 3 describes a method for producing ramosetron labeled with 11C, represented by a Production method B. However, it discloses only the methylation step, and does not disclose a production method of nor-YM060 as the starting material.
(Production Method B)
(In the formula, nor-YM060 means (R)-5-[(1H-indol-3-yl)carbonyl]-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-benzimidazole which was provided by the present applicant, DMF means dimethylformamide.)

Tavaborole (AN2690, trade name Kerydin) is a topical antifungal medication for the treatment of onychomycosis, a fungal infectionof the nail and nail bed. Tavaborole began its Phase 3 trials in December 2010[1] and was approved in July 2014.[2] Tavaborole inhibits an essential fungal enzyme, Leucyl-tRNA synthetase, or LeuRS, required for protein synthesis. The inhibition of protein synthesis leads to termination of cell growth and cell death, eliminating the fungal infection. No treatment-related systemic side effects were observed in any of its clinical trials.
Tavaborole is the first oxygen boron used to treat toenail infections dioxolane (oxaborole) antifungal agents, located in Palo Alto, Anacor focuses on boron-based drug development and production, according to the latest news, Tavaborole future also be used to infect fingernails. Wedbush Securities analyst predicts that next year the drug sales in the United States for $ 16 million, by 2021 will reach peak sales of $ 347 million.
Gram-negative bacteria cause approximately 70% of the infections in intensive care units. A growing number of bacterial isolates responsible for these infections are resistant to currently available antibiotics and to many in development. Most agents under development are modifications of existing drug classes, which only partially overcome existing resistance mechanisms. Therefore, new classes of Gram-negative antibacterials with truly novel modes of action are needed to circumvent these existing resistance mechanisms. We have previously identified a new a way to inhibit an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, leucyl-tRNA synthetase (LeuRS), in fungi via the oxaborole tRNA trapping (OBORT) mechanism.
Herein, we show how we have modified the OBORT mechanism using a structure-guided approach to develop a new boron-based antibiotic class, the benzoxaboroles, which inhibit bacterial leucyl-tRNA synthetase and have activity against Gram-negative bacteria by largely evading the main efflux mechanisms in Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The lead analogue, is active against Gram-negative bacteria, including Enterobacteriaceaebearing NDM-1 and KPC carbapenemases, as well as P. aeruginosa. This novel boron-based antibacterial, has good mouse pharmacokinetics and was efficacious against E. coli and P. aeruginosa in murine thigh infection models, which suggest that this novel class of antibacterials has the potential to address this unmet medical need.
Anacor continued development on that drug, tavaborole, and filed for FDA approval in July. The FDA will review the phase 3 trial data and issue a decision on July 29, 2014.
If approved, Anacor hopes tavaborole’s ability to clear onychomycosis in 10% of treated patients will be enough to win market share away from generic Lamisil and generic topical Pentac. While Lamisil cleared the fungus in 38% of patients, it’s been associated with rare cases of liver failure. And Pentac requires frequent debridement of the nail and only clears the fungus in 5.5% to 8.5% of patients.
Tavaborole is a novel, topical antifungal medication being developed for the topical treatment of onychomycosis, a nail fungus infection, which affects seven to ten percent of the U.S. population. Early studies show AN-2690 penetrates the nail effectively and has robust activity against dermatophytes, which cause onychomycosis.![]()

Anacor Pharmaceuticals to Present Pivotal Phase 3 Data of Tavaborole for the Topical Treatment of Toenail Onychomycosis
Abstract Accepted for Oral Presentation at the 2013 American Podiatric Medical Association Annual Scientific Meeting
PALO ALTO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Anacor Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ANAC) announced today that its abstract “Pivotal Phase 3 Safety and Efficacy Results of Tavaborole (Formerly AN2690), a Novel Boron-Based Molecule for the Topical Treatment of Toenail Onychomycosis” was accepted for oral presentation at the 2013 APMA Annual Scientific Meeting (The National) to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada. Max Weisfeld, DPM, will present the data from tavaborole’s Phase 3 studies on Monday, July 22, 2013 during the Evidence-Based Medicine and Oral Abstracts session.
As announced earlier this year, tavaborole achieved statistically significant and clinically meaningful results on all primary and secondary endpoints in two Phase 3 pivotal studies without concomitant debridement. Anacor is seeking approval for tavaborole from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and will file a New Drug Application imminently. Currently, there is only one FDA-approved topical treatment for onychomycosis, a fungal infection of the nail and nail bed, which affects approximately 35 million people in the United States.
“I’m impressed with tavaborole’s safety and efficacy data. There is no FDA-approved topical treatment for onychomycosis with tavaborole’s range of efficacy and ability to penetrate the nail to reach the site of the infection,” said Dr. Weisfeld. “Tavaborole’s Phase 3 results demonstrate its ability to clear the nail and eliminate the infection which is important to both patients and the physicians who treat them. In addition, tavaborole is easy to apply and dries quickly which makes it convenient for patients to use.”
“We are pleased to present these positive data at the APMA’s Annual Scientific Meeting, the leading annual meeting of podiatrists. As we seek FDAapproval for tavaborole, we look forward to developing relationships with podiatrists to potentially offer them a new treatment option for the large number of patients who seek treatment for onychomycosis,” said David Perry, Chief Executive Officer of Anacor Pharmaceuticals.
About the Studies
Anacor conducted two separate Phase 3 studies of tavaborole on patients with distal subungual onychomycosis affecting 20 to 60 percent of the target great toenail. Approximately 600 patients aged 18 years and older with no upper age limit (the oldest subject was 88 years old) were enrolled in each study and randomized two-to-one to receive either tavaborole or the vehicle control. Patients were instructed to apply tavaborole solution or the vehicle to the toenail once daily for 48 weeks.
A copy of the presentation will be available on Anacor’s website following the oral session.

In addition to its two lead programs, Anacor has discovered three other wholly-owned clinical product candidates — AN2718 and AN2898, which are backup compounds to tavaborole and AN2728, respectively, and AN3365 an antibiotic for the treatment of infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria. We have discovered three other compounds that we have out-licensed for further development — two compounds for the treatment of animal health indications that are licensed to Eli Lilly and Company and AN5568, also referred to as SCYX-7158, for human African trypanosomiasis (HAT, or sleeping sickness), which is licensed to Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative, or DNDi. We also have a pipeline of other internally discovered topical and systemic boron-based compounds in development. For more information, visit http://www.anacor.com.

Tavaborole Market Opportunity
Anacor is developing tavaborole specifically to address the current limitations of existing treatment options for onychomycosis. This includes designed leaps forward in both the potential safety and efficacy profile aimed to make the drug a best-in-class therapy. Additionally, management has used the company’s expertise in medicinal chemistry to improve delivery of the compound through the nail plate to the nail bed, the site of onychomycosis infection. For example, preclinical studies indicate that tavaborole is able to penetrate the nail plate 250 times more effectively than ciclopirox.
Tavaborole novel mechanism of action inhibits an essential fungal enzyme, leucyl transfer RNA synthetase, or LeuRS required for protein synthesis. The inhibition of protein synthesis leads to termination of cell growth and cell death, eliminating the fungal infection.
Likewise, the topical dosing was designed to eliminate systemic absorption. Previous preclinical and clinical data shows topical treatment with tavaborole resulted in little or no detectable levels of drug in the blood or urine. No treatment related systemic side effects have been observed in any clinical trials to date. Safety data from the company’s studies to date was recently presented at the 100th National APMA meeting in Washington, DC.
Anacor’s topical solution currently in two phase III trials for onychomycosis. Phase II data with tavaborole suggests efficacy superior to ciclopirox with little to no systemic exposure.

Data from an open-label phase 2 program with tavaborole showed 50% patients using a 7.5% solution saw 2 mm clear nail growth and negative fungal cultures after six months. Roughly 25% of the patients saw 5 mm clear nail growth and negative fungal cultures after six months.
Anacor and partner Merck (NYSE:MRK) met with the U.S. FDA in 2009 to discuss the phase II data. Merck has since returned the rights to tavaborole to Anacor. The original deal was with Schering-Plough in 2007. Merck most likely felt as though tavaborole clashed with existing products or did not have peak sales potential large enough to continue the partnership with Anacor. We see tavaborole as a specialty promoted product, into podiatrists and dermatologists. For a company like Anacor, it’s an attractive first product.
Anacor’s first phase III trial completed enrollment in November 2011. The second phase III trial completed enrollment in December 2011. Data from these trials are expected around the middle of January 2013. Data from the second study is expected six weeks later. Given the positive phase II data noted above, we think odds favor a positive outcome. A benchmark for the trial is the efficacy of Lamisil, which is a complete cure rate of around 35% to 40%, and a mycological cure of around 70% after a typical course of treatment.
I note that on Anacor’s third quarter conference call management noted that they are pleased with the conduct of the trial to date. Specifically, the compliance rate appears to better than management had expected. The trial was designed with a 20% drop-out rate. It looks as though the drop-out rate is only around 13%, at a minimum suggestive of good safety and tolerability, but potentially also a sign that the drug is working.
I see onychomycosis as a significant market opportunity for Anacor. An estimated 35 million Americans have nail fungus, with about 95% of the infections in the toenail. With efficacy similar to Lamisil, we think Anacor can capture 20% of the market. With a price per course of treatment at around $1,200, I think peak sales of tavaborole are $500 million.

Conclusion
I’ll note two more important pieces of information for investors. Firstly, besides optimism for tavaborole, Anacor has apipeline of anti-infectant drugs. For this article I discussed only tavaborole. A second article can be dedicated entirely to AN2728 for the treatment of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Anacor also has an animal health collaboration with Eli Lilly (NYSE:LLY).
The second important thing to note is Anacor’s cash position. The company reported financial results on November 7, 2012. The company held $36.6 million in cash on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2012. However, in October 2012, the company completed an underwritten public offering of 4.0 million shares of common stock at $6.00 per share to raise net proceeds of $22.7 million. I view the current cash position as sufficient to report data from both phase 3 trials and, if positive, file the new drug application (NDA) around the middle of 2013.
With phase 3 data expected in less than two months, good prior evidence of both safety and efficacy, and a solid cash position, I think Anacor could be an attractive investment at today’s price. The stock is down meaningfully over the past month and investors can buy sizably below the October offering.

Anacor
Anacor Pharmaceuticals is out to change that. The Palo Alto, Calif.-based biotechnology company is developing a family of boron-containing small-molecule drugs. And with the assistance of Naeja Pharmaceutical, a Canadian contract research organization, Anacor has licensed one of those molecules to GlaxoSmithKline and taken another one into Phase III clinical trials.
Anacor was founded in 2002 to develop technology created by Lucy Shapiro, a Stanford University bacterial geneticist, and Stephen J. Benkovic, a Pennsylvania State University organic chemist. Through a long-standing scientific collaboration, the two researchers had discovered boron-containing compounds that inhibited specific bacterial targets………..https://pubs.acs.org/cen/coverstory/89/8912cover3.html

antifugal AN2690 by Anacor
Tavaborole inhibits an essential fungal enzyme, Leucyl-tRNA synthetase, or LeuRS, required for protein synthesis.
Minimum Inhibitory Concentration: 1, 1, 0.5, 0.25, and 0.25 μg/mL for T.rubrum, T.mentagrophytes, C.albicans, C.neoformans, A.fumigatus, respectivley.
AN2690 is a new boron-containing antifungal agent for the potential treatment of onychomycosis. Onychomycosis is caused mainly by dermatophytes, a class of fungus that dwells on skin, hair, and nails and is the cause of other cutaneous fungal infections such as athlete’s foot.
In vitro: AN2690 showed the most active against fungi and especially against the dermatophytes T. rubrum and T. mentagrophytes, the primary fungal pathogens causing onychomycosis. In addition, AN2690 was identified as having a unique profile of in vitro antidermatophyte activity, maintenance of this activity in the presence of keratin, and exceedingly good penetration of human nails [1].
Ex vivo: AN2690 was found to have superior penetration compared to ciclopirox, and achieves levels within and under the nail plate that suggest it has the potential to be an effective topical treatment for onychomycosis [2].
Clinical trial: The efficacy of tavaborole as a topical treatment for onychomycosis has been evaluated in two identical randomised, double-blind phase III studies, NCT01270971 (301) and NCT01302119 (302), enrolling 593 and 601 patients, respectively. Completely or almost clear nail and negative mycology was achieved in 15.3 and 17.9 % of tavaborole recipients compared with 1.5 and 3.9 % of vehicle recipients [3]

EXAMPLE 23
Alternative Preparation of 4 from 3
A 22.0 L 3-neck flask was equipped with a stir motor, N2 inlet, addition funnel, heating mantle, and condenser. The flask was charged with 3500 g (17.1 moi) of 2-bromo-5-fluorobenzyl alcohol followed by the addition of 3556 g of tetrahydrofuran and 16.4 g (0.17 mol) of methanesulfonic acid. Next, 400 g (4.7 mol) of 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran was added at 100C. This step is exothermic so no additional charges should be made until exotherm subsides. The temperature was increased to 27°C, stirred for 15 min and then charged with 400 g (4.7 mol) of 3,4-dihydro-2H- pyran at 240C. Again the temperature increased (24°C to 380C). The mixture was stirred for 15 min. Once the exotherm subsided, the flask was again charged with 40Og (4.7 mol) of 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran at 350C. The temperature again increased to 470C over a 20 min period. Once the exotherm subsided, the mixture was stirred for 15 min. Finally the remaining 400 g (4.7 mol) of 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran was added at 440C. The temperature increased to 510C. After stirring for one hour, a sample was removed to check for removal of starting material. Upon reaction completion, contents were cooled to 20 ± 5 0C.
EXAMPLE 24
Alternative Preparation of 5 from 4
To a 22.0 L 3-neck flask equipped with a stir motor, N2 inlet, addition funnel, cooling bath, and condenser was charged 436 g (17.96 mol) of magnesium turnings. 5334 g of tetrahydrofuran was then added followed by 291 g (0.51 mol) of diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL) (25%wt) in toluene. The mixture was stirred for 60 min at 20 ± 5 0C. Some gas evolution was seen. Next, 260-430 g -3-5% (by weight if solution of 4 was dropped to drums) of 4 in THF was added. The mixture was stirred for 15-30 min at which time a slight exotherm should be seen (ΔT = 10- 150C). Once the exotherm was observed, the reaction mixture was cooled to 5 ± 5 0C. To this mixture, the remaining 8.22-8.39 kg of 4 in THF was added at a rate such that the temperature was kept below 300C (t = 3h). The reaction was stirred at 20-25 0C for 30 min, at which time an aliquot was removed, quench with 3 N HCl (10 mL), and analyzed.
Upon completion, the contents were cooled to -25 ± 5°C. A solution of trimethylborate in THF was prepared by mixing 2665 g (25.7 mol) of trimethyl borate and 6666 g of tetrahydrofuran. This solution can be prepared in a drum with stirring. [0618] Next, the 9331 g of trimethyl borate in THF was added at a rate such that the temperature was kept between -35 and -20 °C (t = 2.5h). The mixture became very thick so THF was added. After stirring at -25 ± 5°C for 10 min, 50 mL aliquot was removed, quenched with 25 mL of 3N HCl, and submitted for CoR. Stirring continued at -25 ± 50C for Ih, and then the mixture was allowed to warm to ambient temperature, where it was stirred for at least 12h. Pull two samples (one at 6h and the other at 12h).
Results:
1H-NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ (ppm) 1.45-1.75 (m, 6H), 3.53 (s, 6H), 3.45 (m, IH), 3.75 (m, IH), 4.69 (t, J=3 Hz, IH), 4.97 (d, J=14.1 Hz, IH), 5.14 (d, J=14.1 Hz, IH), 7.03 ((td, J=8.4, 2.7 Hz, IH), 7.24 (dd, J=10.8, 2.1 Hz, IH), 7.89 (t, J=7.8 Hz, IH), 8.76 (s, IH).
EXAMPLE 25
Alternative Preparation of I from 5
To the reaction mixture above was added 5.3 kg of USP water. After stirring for 30 min, the mixture was charged 5.3 kg of acetic acid. Gas evolution was seen. After stirring for 30 min, an aliquot was removed for analysis. Mixture was then heated to reflux for 36-48 hours. During the reflux period, 12-13 L of THF were removed.
When the reaction was complete, the contents were cooled by the reactor to <40°C by setting jacket and by charging 10.5 kg of USP water. THF was removed until distillate did not remain. Contents of the reactor were transferred to Rosenmund filter dryer and allowed to cool to 20 ± 5°C. Reactor was rinsed with water, filtered, and then washed again with 10.5 kg of USP water. The flask was charged with 10.5 kg of 10% ACN in water (v/v) and agitated for Ih. After filtering, the cake was washed with 10.5 kg of 10% ACN in water (v/v), and then charged with 10.5 kg 10% ACN in water (v/v). The contents were agitated for Ih. The contents were subsequently washed with 10.5 kg of USP water, charged with 7.0 L of 5% Methyl t- Butyl Ether (MTBE)/Heptane (v/v), agitated for Ih, filtered, charged with 7.0 L of 5% MTBE/Heptanes (v/v) and again agitated for Ih. After filtering, the contents were charged again with 7.0 L of heptane and filtered. Solids were dried at <45°C to constant weight. Solids were recrystallized from toluene :heptane 75:25.

WO2012087596A1 Compound 3 can be prepared using synthetic methods and intermediates like those described in USSN 12/215,605 (US 20090257978 A1). Compound 3 can also be prepared described in the following Example. Example 3: Preparation of Compound 3
Compound 315 (12 g, 13 mmol) was dissolved in THF (200 ml), LiOH (11g, 260 mmol) in H20 (200 ml) was added, followed by MeOH (200 ml). The mixture was kept stirring at room temperature for 20 hours. Upon completion of the reaction, 4 N HCI in H20 was added to adjust pH to 7 at 0 °C. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (2 x 400 ml). The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried (Na2S04) and concentrated in vacuo to give compound 3 as a yellow solid (11 g, 93%). LC/MS = 911.52(M++1 ). 1H NMR (300MHz, CD3OD)57.95 (d, 1H), 7.90 (s, 1H), 7.48 (s, 1H), 7.31 (d, 1H), 5.42 (s, 1H), 4.37 (dd, 1H), 4.20 (m, 2H), 3.83-3.56 (m, 7H), 3.50 (m, 2H), 3.39 (m, 2H), 2.45 (m, 1H), 2.27(m, 1H), 1.62 (m, 2H), 1.50 (m, 1H), 1.33 (m, 2H), 1.18 (m, 1H), 1.05 (m, 8H), 0.90 (m, 3H), 0.76 (m, 11H), 0.14-0.04 (m, 2H) The intermediate compound 315 was prepared as follows.
301 302 a. Preparation of compound 301. To a dry, argon purged three-neck round bottom flask (1000 mL) were added anhydrous dichloromethane (100 mL) and Et2Zn (28 mL, 273 mmol) at 0 °C. (CAUTION: Source of argon can not be from needle. Use appropriate glass adapter only. A second bubbler can also be attached to the flask to prevent excessive pressure build up.) Cyclopenten-3-ol (10.0 mL, 119 mmol) was then added dropwise (large quantity of ethane gas was produced) to the flask and the reaction mixture was allowed to stir until the evolution of gas had ceased. Diiodomethane (22 mL, 242 mmol) was then added dropwise over a period of 30 minutes. The reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature and continued to stir overnight under a positive flow of argon, at which point TLC analysis had indicated complete disappearance of the starting alcohol. The reaction was then diluted with CH2CI2 and quenched with 2M HCI (white precipitate should be completely dissolved). The biphasic mixture was poured into a separatory funnel and the organic layer was collected. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure until 100 mL of material containing compound 301 remained. b. Preparation of compound 302. Anhydrous dichloromethane (525 mL) was added to the flask followed by the dropwise addition of triethylamine (34 mL, 245 mmol). The reaction continued to stir at room temperature under a positive flow of nitrogen at which point, disuccinimidylcarbonate (40.7 g, 159 mmol) was added to the flask portion wise. The reaction was allowed to stir until TLC analysis indicated complete disappearance of the starting material (2-3 days). Upon completion, the reaction mixture was quenched with 1 M HCI (200 mL x 2) and washed with H20 (200 mL x 2). The desired material was extracted using CH2CI2and the combined organic layers were dried using anhydrous MgS0 and passed through a silica plug.
