Fda approved, To treat paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, 12/5/2023, Fabhalta ‘CHINA 2024
Iptacopan is a small-molecule factor B inhibitor previously investigated as a potential treatment for the rare blood disease paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) by inhibiting the complement factor B.1 Factor B is a positive regulator of the alternative complement pathway, where it activates C3 convertase and subsequently C5 convertase.2 This is of particular importance to PNH, where one of the disease hallmarks is the mutation of the PIGA gene. Due to this mutation, all progeny erythrocytes will lack the glycosyl phosphatidylinositol–anchored proteins that normally anchor 2 membrane proteins, CD55 and CD59, that protect blood cells against the alternative complement pathway.3 Additionally, iptacopan has the benefit of targeting factor B, which only affect the alternative complement pathway, leaving the classic and lectin pathway untouched for the body to still mount adequate immune responses against pathogens.2
On December 6th, 2023, Iptacopan under the brand name Fabhalta was approved by the FDA for the treatment of adults with PNH. This approval was based on favorable results obtained from the phase III APPL-PNH and APPOINT-PNH studies, where 82.3% and 77.5% of patients experienced a sustained hemoglobin improvement without transfusions respectively.5
Iptacopan , sold under the brand name Fabhalta, is a medication used for the treatment of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.[1] It is a complement factor B inhibitor that was developed by Novartis.[1] It is taken by mouth.[1]
Iptacopan was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of adults with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria in December 2023.[2][3]
Medical uses
Iptacopan is indicated for the treatment of adults with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.[1][4]
Side effects
The FDA label for iptacopan contains a black box warning for the risk of serious and life-threatening infections caused by encapsulated bacteria, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis, and Haemophilus influenzae type B.[1]
Research
In a clinical study with twelve participants, iptacopan as a single drug led to the normalization of hemolytic markers in most patients, and no serious adverse events occurred during the 12-week study.[5][6]
Iptacopan is also investigated as a drug in other complement-mediated diseases, like age-related macular degeneration and some types of glomerulopathies.[7]

The alternative pathway (AP) of the complement system is a key contributor to the pathogenesis of several human diseases including age-related macular degeneration, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), and various glomerular diseases. The serine protease factor B (FB) is a key node in the AP and is integral to the formation of C3 and C5 convertase. Despite the prominent role of FB in the AP, selective orally bioavailable inhibitors, beyond our own efforts, have not been reported previously. Herein we describe in more detail our efforts to identify FB inhibitors by high-throughput screening (HTS) and leveraging insights from several X-ray cocrystal structures during optimization efforts. This work culminated in the discovery of LNP023 (41), which is currently being evaluated clinically in several diverse AP mediated indications.

Iptacopan (Fabhalta®), a first-in-class oral therapeutic agent discovered by Novartis, specifically targets the complement Factor B protein within the alternative complement system. NMPA granted
marketing authorization in 2024, indicated for complement inhibitor-naïve adult patients diagnosed with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) [75]. By competitively binding to the catalytic domain of
Factor B, the drug effectively blocks C3 convertase assembly, thereby suppressing downstream cleavage of C3 into its active fragments. This dual inhibitory action addresses both intravascular erythrocyte
destruction and extravascular hemolytic processes characteristic of PNHpathogenesis [76]. Clinical validation emerged from the multinational APPOINT-PNH study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT04820530), where treatment-naïve participants exhibited sustained hemoglobin
stabilization (≥12 g/dL) in 79.6 % of cases, achieving transfusion in dependence over 24 weeks. Secondary endpoints revealed significant improvements in fatigue scores and health-related quality metrics [77]. Safety monitoring identified encapsulated bacterial infection as critical risks, necessitating mandatory vaccination ≥2 weeks pre-treatment. Common treatment-emergent adverse events comprised transient gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea 18.3 %, diarrhea 14.7 %) and mild
cephalgia (22.1 %), with resolution typically occurring within 4 weeks [78].
The synthetic pathway of Iptacopan, delineated in Scheme 18, initiates with nucleophilic substitution between Ipta-001 and Ipta-002, followed by Grignard coupling yielding Ipta-003 [79]. This intermedi
ate undergoes NaBH4-mediated reduction and TMSCl-induced silanization to afford Ipta-004. Acid-catalyzed TMS deprotection (HCl/MeOH) delivers Ipta-005, which progresses through sequential alkylation (methyl iodide/K2CO3 catalytic hydrogenation (H)/Pd–C), transesterification (EtONa), and to construct Ipta-006. Condensation with Ipta-007 and subsequent reduction forms Ipta-008. Strategic TFA-mediated Boc cleavage in DCM followed by HCl-induced salt formation in dioxane ultimately furnishes Iptacopan hydrochloride.

FDA APPROVED, To treat moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis in adults,
| 10/12/2023 |
Etrasimod, sold under the brand name Velsipity, is a medication that is used for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC).[1] It is a selective sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator that modifies the activity of the immune system.[1] It is taken by mouth.[1]
Etrasimod was discovered by Arena Pharmaceuticals, with subsequent development by Pfizer.[2]
Etrasimod is a synthetic next-generation selective Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator that targets the S1P1,4,5 with no detectable activity on S1P2 and S1P3 receptors. S1P receptors are membrane-derived lysophospholipid signaling molecules that are involved in the sequestration of circulating peripheral lymphocytes in lymph nodes.1 Therefore, S1P receptor modulators like etrasimod were investigated in treating immune-mediated diseases like ulcerative colitis where a high level of inflammatory T cells is present in the gastrointestinal tract, thus causing diffuse mucosal inflammation.1 In fact, it has been observed that antigen-activated T cells within peripheral lymphoid organs can transiently downregulate S1P receptor levels to facilitate immune cells trafficking into the intestinal mucosa.2
Etrasimod was approved on October 13, 2023, by the FDA under the brand name VELSIPITY for the treatment of adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. This approval was based on favorable results obtained from Pfizer’s Elevate UC Phase III registrational program, consisting of the Elevate UC 52 and Elevate UC 12 clinical trials, that investigates the efficacy of a 2-mg daily dose regimen of etrasimod, with a 32% and 26% remission rate observed in UC 52 and UC 12 trials respectively.4
Medical uses
Etrasimod is used for the treatment of moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.[1]
Mechanism of action
It works by causing T cells to become trapped in the lymph nodes, preventing them from entering the bloodstream, from where they would travel to other tissues in the body and mediate inflammation.[3][4][5][6][7][8]
Society and culture
Legal status
Velsipity was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in October 2023.[1][9][10]
Names
Etrasimod is the international nonproprietary name.[11]

APD334 was discovered as part of our internal effort to identify potent, centrally available, functional antagonists of the S1P1 receptor for use as next generation therapeutics for treating multiple sclerosis (MS) and other autoimmune diseases. APD334 is a potent functional antagonist of S1P1 and has a favorable PK/PD profile, producing robust lymphocyte lowering at relatively low plasma concentrations in several preclinical species. This new agent was efficacious in a mouse experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model of MS and a rat collagen induced arthritis (CIA) model and was found to have appreciable central exposure.

Motixafortide is a peptide inhibitor of CXCR4 used to mobilize hematopoietic stem cells prior to collection and autologous transplantation in multiple myeloma patients.
To use with filgrastim (G-CSF) to mobilize hematopoietic stem cells to the peripheral blood for collection and subsequent autologous transplantation in patients with multiple myeloma
Motixafortide, sold under the brand name Aphexda, is a medication used for the treatment of multiple myeloma.[1] Motixafortide is a hematopoietic stem cell mobilizer and a CXCR4 antagonist.[1] It is given by subcutaneous injection.[1]
Motixafortide was approved for medical use in the United States in September 2023.[2][3]
Motixafortide is a cyclic peptide hematopoietic stem cell mobilizer used to improve stem cell collection prior to autologous transplantation.3 Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is commonly employed in the context of hematologic cancers – high-dose chemotherapy regimens destroy cancerous blood cells, which are then replaced via infusion of the patient’s own stem cells (i.e. an autologous transplant).4 Similar in mechanism to the previously approved plerixafor, motixafortide is an inhibitor of C-X-C Motif Chemokine Receptor 4 (CXCR4), a protein that helps to anchor stem cells to bone marrow matrix.3 When administered alongside filgrastim, another agent used to aid in stem cell collection, motixafortide enabled the collection of an adequate number of stem cells in ~92% of patients within two apheresis procedures, compared to ~26% of patients receiving only filgrastim.1
Motixafortide was approved by the FDA in September 2023, in combination with filgrastim, for use in stem cell mobilization prior to autologous stem cell transplant in patients with multiple myeloma.5 It has also been investigated alongside pembrolizumab for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.2
Medical uses
Motixafortide is indicated in combination with filgrastim, a granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), to mobilize hematopoietic stem cells to the peripheral blood for collection and subsequent autologous transplantation in people with multiple myeloma.[1][2]

Evobrutinib is under investigation in clinical trial NCT03934502 (Effect of Meal Composition and Timing on Evobrutinib Bioavailability).
Evobrutinib is an inhibitor of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, evobrutinib inhibits the activity of BTK and prevents the activation of the B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) signaling pathway. This prevents both B-cell activation and BTK-mediated activation of downstream survival pathways, which leads to the inhibition of the growth of malignant B-cells that overexpress BTK. BTK, a member of the Src-related BTK/Tec family of cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases, is overexpressed in B-cell malignancies; it plays an important role in B-lymphocyte development, activation, signaling, proliferation and survival.
Evobrutinib is in clinical development to investigate its potential as a treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS). It is an oral, highly selective inhibitor of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) which is important in the development and functioning of various immune cells including B lymphocytes and macrophages.
Evobrutinib is designed to inhibit primary B cell responses such as proliferation and antibody and cytokine release, without directly affecting T cells. BTK inhibition is thought to suppress autoantibody-producing cells, which preclinical research suggests may be therapeutically useful in certain autoimmune diseases.
U.S. Patent No. 9073947 discloses a pyrimidine derivative of Evobrutinib which chemically named as l-(4-(((6-amino-5-(4-phenoxyphenyl)pyrimidin-4-yl)amino)methyl)
piperidin-l-yl)prop-2-en-l-one and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates and pharmaceutical compositions thereof.
U.S. Patent No. 9073947 and ‘Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 2019, 62(17), 7643-7655’ discloses process for the preparation of Evobrutinib which involves column purifications and lyophilisation methods to provide Evobrutinib with low yield, which is not viable at large scale production.

Radiosynthesis of [11C]Evobrutinib. [11C]Evobrutinib was synthesized similarly to the Tolebrutinib example above with the following exceptions. First, the precursor 5-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-N4-(piperidin-4-ylmethyl)pyrimidine-4,6-diamine (4) (1 mg, 2.7 μmol) was used and the crude reaction mixture after the carbonylation reaction was purified by semi-preparative HPLC (column: Luna C18(2), 5 μ (250 x 9.6 mm); mobile phase: 44% MeCN in 200 mM ammonium formate; flow rate: 5 ml/min; UV: 254 nm). The [11C]1-(4-(((6-amino-5-(4-phenoxyphenyl)pyrimidin-4-yl)amino)methyl)piperidin-1-yl)prop-2-en-1-one ([11C]evobrutinib) was isolated between the 15.5 and 18 min mark of the chromatogram and this sample was collected into a dilution flask that contained 50 ml of a 2 mg/ml sodium ascorbate aqueous solution. This solution was transferred to an HLB light (30 mg) SPE cartridge. After transfer, the cartridge was eluted with 1 ml of ethanol into the sterile product vial that contained 4 ml of sterile saline. Using this method, 2.2 ± 0.6 GBq (81.4 ± 22.2 mCi) [11C]evobrutinib was isolated (n = 3), and the product was analyzed via reverse phase HPLC using the following methods. Method A described above and Method B (Isocratic and molar activity): column: Luna C18(2) 3-μm (250×4.6 mm); mobile phase Isocratic: 36% acetonitrile in aqueous 0.1% TFA; flow rate: 1.3 ml/min; UV: 254 nm. Method A was used to confirm chemical identity using a co-injection of non-radioactive standard. Radiochemical purity and molar activity were determined by Method B. [11C]Evobrutinib was confirmed by co-injection with a verified non-radioactive reference standard. Am was determined using a 4-point standard curve (analytical HPLC peak area) (Y) vs. standard concentration (X: in nmol) by comparison with an evobrutinib reference standard of known concentration (2.3 mg in 1 ml). The isolated [11C] evobrutinib was co-eluted with a non-radioactive reference standard. The sample was >99% radiochemically pure, >95% chemically pure (HPLC, UV: 254 nm), with a molar activity of 496.5 ± 74 GBq/μmol (13.4 Ci/μmol) The overall synthesis time from the end of cyclotron bombardment was 37–46 min.

Zuranolone, sold under the brand name Zurzuvae, is a medication used for the treatment of postpartum depression.[1][2] It is taken by mouth.[1]
The most common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, diarrhea, fatigue, nasopharyngitis, and urinary tract infection.[1][2] An orally active inhibitory pregnane neurosteroid, zuranolone acts as a positive allosteric modulator of the GABAA receptor.[6][7][8]
Zuranolone was approved for medical use in the United States for the treatment of postpartum depression in August 2023.[2] It was developed by Sage Therapeutics and Biogen.[9]
Medical uses
Zuranolone is indicated for the treatment of postpartum depression.[1][2]
Adverse effects
The most common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, diarrhea, fatigue, nasopharyngitis (cold-like symptoms), and urinary tract infection.[2]
The US FDA label contains a boxed warning noting that zuranolone can impact a person’s ability to drive and perform other potentially hazardous activities.[2] Use of zuranolone may cause suicidal thoughts and behavior.[2] Zuranolone may cause fetal harm.[2]
History
Zuranolone was developed as an improvement on the intravenously administered neurosteroid brexanolone, with high oral bioavailability and a biological half-life suitable for once-daily administration.[7][10] Its half-life is around 16 to 23 hours, compared to approximately 9 hours for brexanolone.[4][5]
The efficacy of zuranolone for the treatment of postpartum depression in adults was demonstrated in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter studies.[2] The trial participants were women with postpartum depression who met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders criteria for a major depressive episode and whose symptoms began in the third trimester or within four weeks of delivery.[2] In study 1, participants received 50 mg of zuranolone or placebo once daily in the evening for 14 days.[2] In study 2, participants received another zuranolone product that was approximately equal to 40 mg of zuranolone or placebo, also for 14 days.[2] Participants in both studies were monitored for at least four weeks after the 14-day treatment.[2] The primary endpoint of both studies was the change in depressive symptoms using the total score from the 17-item Hamilton depression rating scale (HAMD-17), measured at day 15.[2] Participants in the zuranolone groups showed significantly more improvement in their symptoms compared to those in the placebo groups.[2] The treatment effect was maintained at day 42—four weeks after the last dose of zuranolone.[2]
Society and culture
Zuranolone is the international nonproprietary name.[11]
Legal status
Zuranolone was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of postpartum depression in August 2023.[2][12] The FDA granted the application for zuranolone priority review and fast track designations.[2] Approval of Zurzuvae was granted to Sage Therapeutics, Inc.[2]
Zuranolone has also been under development for the treatment of major depressive disorder, but the application for this use was given a Complete Response Letter (CRL) by the FDA due to insufficient evidence of effectiveness.[13]
Research
In a randomized, placebo-controlled phase III trial to assess its efficacy and safety for the treatment of major depressive disorder, subjects in the zuranolone group (50 mg oral zuranolone once daily for 14 days) experienced statistically significant and sustained improvements in depressive symptoms (as measured by HAM-D score) throughout the treatment and follow-up periods of the study.[14]
Other investigational applications include insomnia, bipolar depression, essential tremor, and Parkinson’s disease.[15][6][16]

Certain classes of neuroactive steroids (NASs) are positive allosteric modulators (PAM) of synaptic and extrasynaptic GABAA receptors. Herein, we report new SAR insights in a series of 5β-nor-19-pregnan-20-one analogues bearing substituted pyrazoles and triazoles at C-21, culminating in the discovery of 3α-hydroxy-3β-methyl-21-(4-cyano-1H-pyrazol-1′-yl)-19-nor-5β-pregnan-20-one (SAGE-217, 3), a potent GABAA receptor modulator at both synaptic and extrasynaptic receptor subtypes, with excellent oral DMPK properties. Compound 3 has completed a phase 1 single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple ascending dose (MAD) clinical trial and is currently being studied in parallel phase 2 clinical trials for the treatment of postpartum depression (PPD), major depressive disorder (MDD), and essential tremor (ET).

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is an infectious disease that targets the liver resulting in either an acute infection, with symptoms arising in 45 to 160 days, or a chronic infection, which 350 million people worldwide are affected by. Estimates indicate that 600,000 deaths occur each year as a result of consequences related to HBV infection. HBV possesses a 3.2- kb relaxed circular DNA (rcDNA) genome that is used to form covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) in a host cell. The cccDNA is then transcribed by RNA polymerase II, a host DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, to produce pregenomic RNA (pgRNA). The pgRNA is then used by the virally encoded reverse transcriptase to form rcDNA. The goals of current treatments for chronic HBV infections are to reduce HBV replication and reduce liver damage.
Current treatments for chronic HBV infections include pegylated alpha interferon and nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). NRTIs are converted to their corresponding 5 ‘-triphosphate, or diphosphate in the case of phosphonate containing NRTIs, and reduce viral replication by inhibiting the HBV encoded polymerase. Clevudine is an NRTI that is no longer being developed for the treatment of chronic HBV because of drug-related skeletal myopathy that was a result of mitochondrial dysfunction in patients.
Interestingly, clevudine triphosphate has been shown to be a competitive nonsubstrate inhibitor of the HBV encoded polymerase, and due to its long intracellular half-life, is able to suppress HBV replication for an extended period of time after drug withdrawal.
The discovery and synthesis of the (S,S) and (S,R) diastereomers of clevudine phosphoramidate has been previously reported. These studies were undertaken to address the myopathy concerns associated with clevudine. The phosphoramidate moiety was utilized to deliver clevudine, as its 5 ‘-monophosphate, to the liver reducing 1) systemic exposure to clevudine and 2) the possibility of skeletal myopathy. Both phosphoramidates showed anti-HBV activity similar to clevudine with the (S,S) diastereomer being slightly more potent.

FDA 8/16/2023
To reduce the volume of new heterotopic ossification in adults and pediatric patients (aged 8 years and older for females and 10 years and older for males) with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva
- RG-667
- RO-3300074
Palovarotene, sold under the brand name Sohonos, is a medication used for the treatment of heterotopic ossification and fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva.[4][5] It is a highly selective retinoic acid receptor gamma (RARγ) agonist.[6]
It was approved for medical use in Canada in June 2022,[4] and in the United States in August 2023.[5]
Medical uses
Palovarotene is indicated for the treatment of heterotopic ossification and fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva.[4][5]
History
Palovarotene is a retinoic acid receptor gamma (RARγ) agonist licensed to Clementia Pharmaceuticals from Roche Pharmaceuticals. At Roche, palovarotene was evaluated in more than 800 individuals including healthy volunteers and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).[7] A one-year trial did not demonstrate a significant benefit on lung density in moderate-to-severe emphysema secondary to severe α(1)-antitrypsin deficiency.[8]
In 2011, animal studies demonstrated that RARγ agonists, including palovarotene, blocked new bone formation in both an injury-induced mouse model of heterotopic ossification (HO) and a genetically modified biological mouse model of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva containing a continuously active ACVR1/ALK2 receptor in a dose-dependent manner.[9][10] A 2016 study demonstrated that palovarotene also inhibited spontaneous heterotopic ossification, maintained limb mobility and functioning, and restored skeletal growth in fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva mouse models.[11]
Society and culture
Legal status
Palovarotene is being developed by Ipsen Biopharmaceuticals and was granted priority review and orphan drug designations by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva[12][13] and orphan medicinal product designation by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in 2014.[14][15][16][17] Phase II clinical studies failed to show a significant change in heterotopic bone volume, the main outcome measure, but prompted further investigation in a phase III clinical trial.[18] In December 2022, the FDA declined to approve palovarotene for the fibrodysplasia ossificans progressive without additional clinical trial data.[19] In January 2023, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommended the refusal of the marketing authorization for palovarotene for the treatment of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva.[20]
Research
Phase II
Clementia submitted a new drug application for palovarotene for the treatment of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva after observing positive phase II results.[21]
Phase III
In December 2019, Ipsen issued a partial clinical hold for people under the age of 14, due to reports of early fusion of growth plates.[22] Ipsen acquired Clementia in 2019.[23]

French biopharmaceutical company Ipsen. 56 The small Molecule agonist was originally developed by Roche for a different indication, and was later licensed to Clementia Pharmaceuticals, which was ultimately acquired by Ipsen.
AlthoughapprovedbytheUSFDAinAugust2023,palovarotene was first approved by Health Canada in January 2022 for patients with FOP inadults andchildren aged 10 years and older for males and aged 8 years and older for females. With respect to pharmacodynamics, the agonist binds to RARγ and thus inhibits bone morphogenetic protein and Smad 1/5/8 signaling.57 This signaling inhibition permits normal muscle tissue repair and ultimately reduces the incidence of heterotopic ossification. A robust kilogram-scale synthesis of palovarotene has been disclosed in a patent by Roche and is depicted in Scheme 11.58

Palovarotene (Sohonos)
On February 17, 2022, the FDA granted approval to Palovarotene for the treatment of heterotopic ossification (HO) linked to fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) [64]. FOP, or myositis ossificans pro
gressiva (MOP), is an uncommon hereditary condition marked by atypical bone growth in regions beyond the usual skeletal structure. It is commonly accompanied by recurring episodes of discomfort and abrupt
swelling of soft tissues. This disorder causes restricted mobility and fusion of joints, leading to deformities, limited movement, and premature mortality [65]. Palovarotene is an orally available retinoic acid receptor γ (RARγ) agonist [66]. Palovarotene specifically attaches to RARγ and hinders the phosphorylation process of mothers against decapentaplegic homolog (SMAD)1/5/8. This action results in the suppression of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)/ALK2 downstream signaling pathway, leading to a decrease in ALK2/SMAD-dependent chondrogenesis and osteoblast differentiation. Consequently, the over all effect is a reduction in endochondral ossification [67].
The preparation of Palovarotene is shown in Scheme 18 [68].Starting with 2,5-dimethylhexane-2,5-diol (PALO-001), a nucleophilic substitution reaction with HCl, followed by AlClpromoted Friedel-Crafts alkylation with 1-bromo-2-methylbenzene (PALO-003), gave PALO-004. PALO-005 was obtained by substitution with CuCN.The cyano group of PALO-005 was reduced to aldehyde by diisobutylalumium hydride (DIBAL-H) to obtain PALO-006. PALO-006 was subjected to Wittig-Horner reaction with methyl 4-((dimethoxyphosphoryl)methyl)benzoate PALO-007 to obtain olefin PALO-008.
PALO-008 was brominated with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) to obtain PALO-009. PALO-009 was nucleophilic substituted with 1H-pyrazole (PALO-010) to obtain PALO-011, which was hydrolyzed under alkaline conditions to obtain the final product Palovarotene.

Zavegepant, sold under the brand name Zavzpret, is a medication used for the treatment of migraine.[1] Zavegepant is a calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonist.[1] It is sprayed into the nose.[1] It is sold by Pfizer.[1]
The most common adverse reactions include taste disorders, nausea, nasal discomfort, and vomiting.[1]
Zavegepant was approved for medical use in the United States in March 2023.[1][2][3]
Medical usesZavegepant is a Calcitonin Gene-related Peptide Receptor Antagonist. The mechanism of action of zavegepant is as a Calcitonin Gene-related Peptide Receptor Antagonist.
Zavegepant is indicated for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults.[1]
Zavegepant is an antagonist of the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor currently in phase 3 trials in an intranasal formulation for the treatment of migraine. If FDA approved, it will join other previously-approved “-gepant” drugs [rimegepant] and [ubrogepant] as an additional treatment alternative for patients with migraine, particularly those for whom traditional triptan therapy has proven ineffective. On April 15th, 2020, a phase 2 clinical trial (NCT04346615: Safety and Efficacy Trial of Vazegepant Intranasal for Hospitalized Patients With COVID-19 Requiring Supplemental Oxygen) began to investigate the use of intranasally administered zavegepant to combat the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) sometimes seen in patients with COVID-19. Acute lung injury activates the release of CGRP, which plays a role in the development of ARDS – CGRP antagonists, then, may help to blunt the significant inflammation associated with COVID-19. The clinical trial is expected to complete in September 2020.
Zavegepant is a highly soluble small molecule calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist, with potential analgesic and immunomodulating activities. Upon administration, zavegepant targets, binds to and inhibits the activity of CGRP receptors located on mast cells in the brain. This may inhibit neurogenic inflammation caused by trigeminal nerve release of CGRP. In addition, by blocking the CGRP receptors located in smooth muscle cells within vessel walls, zavegepant inhibits the pathologic dilation of intracranial arteries. Zavegepant, by blocking the CGRP receptors, also suppresses the transmission of pain by inhibiting the central relay of pain signals from the trigeminal nerve to the caudal trigeminal nucleus. Altogether, this may relieve migraine. As CGRP receptors induce the release of pro-inflammatory mediators, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), from inflammatory cells, zavegepant may prevent an IL-6-mediated inflammatory response. Zavegepant may also inhibit the CGRP-mediated induction of eosinophil migration and the stimulation of beta-integrin-mediated T cell adhesion to fibronectin at the site of inflammation, and may abrogate the CGRP-mediated polarization of the T cell response towards the pro-inflammatory state characterized by Th17 and IL-17. This may improve lung inflammation and oxygenation, prevent edema, and further lung injury. CGRP, a 37 amino-acid peptide expressed in and released from a subset of polymodal primary sensory neurons of the trigeminal ganglion and nerve fibers projecting to the airways and by pulmonary neuroendocrine cells, plays an important role in pain transmission, inflammation, and neurogenic vasodilatation. It is released upon acute lung injury and upregulation of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels.

Migraine is a chronic and debilitating disorder characterized by recurrent attacks lasting four to 72 hours with multiple symptoms, including typically one-sided, pulsating headaches of moderate to severe pain intensity that are associated with nausea or vomiting, and/or sensitivity to sound (phonophobia) and sensitivity to light (photophobia). Migraines are often preceded by transient neurological warning symptoms, known as auras, which typically involve visual disturbances such as flashing lights, but may also involve numbness or tingling in parts of the body. Migraine is both widespread and disabling. The Migraine Research Foundation ranks migraine as the world’s third most prevalent illness, and the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015 rates migraine as the seventh highest specific cause of disability worldwide. According to the Migraine Research Foundation, in the United States, approximately 36 million individuals suffer from migraine attacks. While most sufferers experience migraine attacks once or twice per month, more than 4 million people have chronic migraine, defined as experiencing at least 15 headache days per month, of which at least eight are migraine, for more than three months. Others have episodic migraine, which is characterized by experiencing less than 15 migraine days per month. People with episodic migraine may progress to chronic migraine over time. Migraine attacks can last four hours or up to three days. More than 90% of individuals suffering from migraine attacks are unable to work or function normally during a migraine attack, with many experiencing comorbid conditions such as depression, anxiety and insomnia. Also, those suffering from migraine often have accompanying nausea and have an aversion to consuming food or liquids during an attack.
CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide) is a 37 amino acid neuropeptide, which belongs to a family of peptides that includes calcitonin, adrenomedullin and amylin. In humans, two forms of CGRP (a-CGRP and 0-CGRP) exist and have similar activities. They vary by three amino acids and exhibit differential distribution. At least two CGRP receptor subtypes may also account for differential activities. The CGRP receptor is located within pain-signaling pathways, intracranial arteries and mast cells and its activation is thought to play a causal role in migraine pathophysiology. For example, research and clinical studies have shown: serum levels of CGRP are elevated during migraine attacks, infusion of intravenous CGRP produces persistent pain in migraine sufferers and non-migraine sufferers, and treatment with anti-migraine drugs normalizes CGRP activity.
Currently, clinicians use a number of pharmacologic agents for the acute treatment of migraine. A study published by the American Headache Society in 2015 concluded that the medications deemed effective for the acute treatment of migraine fell into the following classes: triptans, ergotamine derivatives, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (“NSAIDs”), opioids and combination medications. The current standard of care for the acute treatment of migraine is prescription of triptans, which are serotonin 5-HT IB/ID receptor agonists. Triptans have been developed and approved for the acute treatment of migraine over the past two decades. The initial introduction of triptans represented a shift toward drugs more selectively targeting the suspected pathophysiology of migraine. While triptans account for almost 80% of anti-migraine therapies prescribed at office visits by healthcare providers, issues such as an incomplete effect or headache recurrence remain important clinical limitations. In fact, only about 30% of patients from clinical trials are pain free at two hours after taking triptans. In addition, triptans are contraindicated in patients with cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, or significant risk factors for either because of potential systemic and cerebrovascular vasoconstriction from the 5-HT IB -mediated effects. Also, according to a January 2017 study published in the journal Headache, an estimated 2.6 million migraine sufferers in the United States have a cardiovascular event, condition or procedure that limits the potential of triptans as a treatment option.
Accordingly, there remains a significant unmet medical need for a novel migraine-specific medication that provides enhanced patient benefits compared to existing therapies.
Possible CGRP involvement in migraine has been the basis for the development and clinical testing of a number of compounds, including for example, advanced clinical candidates rimegepant (BHV-3000) and zavegepant (BHV-3500), which are developed by Biohaven Pharmaceutical Holding Company Ltd., New Haven, CT.
Zavegepant (also known as vazegepant) is a third generation, high affinity, selective and structurally unique small molecule CGRP receptor antagonist having the following formula I:

Zavegepant is described, for example, in WO 03/104236 published December 18, 2003 and US 8,481,546 issued July 9, 2013, which are incorporated herein in their entireties by reference.
While zavegepant is a highly soluble molecule, its bioavailability characteristics may render it challenging to prepare the drug in an oral dosage form. Enhancing the bioavailability of zavegepant and other CGRP inhibitors by different administration routes would therefore be desirable.
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is widely distributed in nociceptive pathways in human peripheral and central nervous system and its receptors are also expressed in pain pathways. While CGRP is involved in migraine pathophysiology, its role in non-headache pain has not been quite clear. There remains a need for new medicines to treat various pain disorders in patients in need thereof.
