Zafgen’s Prader-Willi syndrome therapy receives orphan drug designation in Europe The European Commission (EC) has granted orphan drug designation to US-based Zafgen for its beloranib for treating Prader-Willi syndrome. Beloranib is a potent inhibitor of Methionine aminopeptidase-2 that reduces hunger while stimulating the use of stored fat as an energy source (MetAP2). MetAP2 is an enzyme that modulates the activity of key cellular processes that control metabolism. http://www.pharmaceutical-technology.com/news/newszafgens-prader-willi-syndrome-therapy-receives-orphan-drug-designation-in-europe-4316842?WT.mc_id=DN_News
INTRODUCTION Beloranib is an experimental drug candidate for the treatment of obesity. It was discovered by CKD Pharmaceuticals and is currently being developed by Zafgen. Beloranib, an analog of the natural chemical compound fumagillin, is an inhibitor of the enzyme METAP2. It was originally designed as angiogenesis inhibitor for the treatment of cancer. However, once the potential anti-obesity effects of METAP2 inhibition became apparent, the clinical development began to focus on these effects and beloranib has shown positive results in preliminary clinical trials for this indication. At such low doses, says Thomas E. Hughes, president and chief executive officer of Zafgen, toxicity concerns tend to evaporate, in part because so little opportunity exists to inhibit off-target proteins.
Zafgen, a small pharmaceutical company in Cambridge, Mass., sees high selectivity and low toxicity with its covalent molecule for treating obesity, beloranib hemioxalate, also known as ZGN-433. “You’re passing a wave of the molecule through the body,” he says. “It hits the different tissues, silences the target enzyme where it finds it, and then it goes away.” Zafgen’s drug candidate inhibits an enzyme called methionine aminopeptidase 2 (MetAP2), which had been of interest in oncology circles until it turned out to be a poor target for treating cancer in mice. However, animals treated with a MetAP2 inhibitor lost weight. Zafgen pursued the enzyme as a target for obesity. Its drug candidate contains a spiroepoxide that bonds with a histidine in the protein’s active site.
ZGN-433 has undergone a Phase I clinical trial, in which obese volunteers lost up to 2 lb per week. It will enter Phase II trials within a year, Hughes says, funded by $33 million the company raised from investors. With dosing of up to 2 mg twice per week, ZGN-433 reaches a maximum concentration in the body of just a few nanomolar for several hours before the body quickly eliminates it, Hughes says. During that time, the drug is much more likely to interact with MetAP2 than with anything else. “You’re flying under the radar of a lot of concerns,” he says. “Drug-drug interactions are not an issue. There’s just not enough inhibitor to go around.
The same is true for off-target inhibition: The chance of off-target toxicity is largely gone.” Proponents of covalent inhibitors are quick to point out that dozens of such drugs are already on the market. They include aspirin, the world’s most widely used medicine; penicillin and related antibiotics; and recently developed blockbusters such as Plavix, Prevacid, and Nexium. The drugs treat a broad range of conditions, and many have minimal side effects, even when taken for years. By one count, of the marketed drugs that inhibit enzymes, more than one-third work by covalent modification (Biochemistry, DOI: 10.1021/bi050247e).

Beloranib (previously known as CKD-732; ZGN-433), a methionine aminopeptidase 2 (MetAP2) inhibitor originally designed as an anticancer agent, is being developed by Zafgen as a first-in-class obesity therapy. Beloranib, a twice-daily injection, is discovered by korean company Chong Kun Dang (CKD) Pharmaceuticals and was licensed to Cambridge, MA-based startup Zafgen, Inc. Zafgen holds exclusive worldwide rights (exclusive of Korea) for development and commercialization of beloranib. Beloranib, an analog of the antimicrobial agent fumagillin, is an inhibitor of the enzyme METAP2 involved in fatty acid production. It was originally designed as angiogenesis inhibitor for the treatment of cancer. However, once the potential anti-obesity effects of METAP2 inhibition became apparent, the clinical development began to focus on these effects.
Zafgen has chosen to develop beloranib not for the folks that need to shed a few pounds, but for severely obese people, and smaller groups of patients with rare and dangerous conditions. In January 2013, beloranib was granted orphan drug designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat a rare genetic condition known as Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) that causes obesity through compulsive eating. Zafgen plans to seek the same designation for beloranib in craniopharyngioma (a rare benign brain tumor) related obesity as well. By going after these orphan indications, Zafgen can get onto the market quicker and cheaper than if it went straight for the larger obesity market. Zafgen recently completed two Phase 2a clinical trials evaluating beloranib’s ability to reduce body weight and to improve hyperphagia, one in PWS patients and one in severely obese patients. In its Phase 2a clinical trials, Zafgen observed reductions in body weight, body mass and body fat content in both patient populations and reductions in hyperphagia-related behaviors in PWS patients.
On June 19, 2014, Zafgen Inc. raised $96 million in its initial public offering (IPO) on the Nasdaq under the symbol “ZFGN” amid strong demand from investors. With its IPO cash, Zafgen plans to initiate its Phase 3 clinical program, consisting of two Phase 3 clinical trials, of beloranib in PWS patients, with the first Phase 3 trial to start in the second half of 2014, after finalizing the program design based on ongoing conversations with the FDA and certain European regulatory authorities. Zafgen is also planning a phase 2a trial in craniopharyngioma, and a Phase 2b trila in patients with severe obesity, all this year. The composition of matter patent (US6063812) on beloranib will each expire in May 2019. Zafgen owns two issued U.S. patents relating to beloranib polymorph compositions of matter that will expire in 2031 and two issued U.S. patents to methods of treating obesity that will expire in 2029. 
Beloranib is an experimental drug candidate for the treatment of obesity. It was discovered by CKD Pharmaceuticals and is currently being developed by Zafgen.[1] Beloranib, an analog of the natural chemical compound fumagillin, is an inhibitor of the enzyme METAP2.[2] It was originally designed as angiogenesis inhibitor for the treatment of cancer.[3] However, once the potential anti-obesity effects of METAP2 inhibition became apparent, the clinical development began to focus on these effects and beloranib has shown positive results in preliminary clinical trials for this indication.[4][5]

MetAP2 encodes a protein that functions at least in part by enzymatically removing the amino terminal methionine residue from certain newly translated proteins, such as, glyceraldehyde-3- phosphate dehydrogenase (Warder et al. (2008) J Proteome Res 7:4807). Increased expression of the MetAP2 gene has been historically associated with various forms of cancer. Molecules inhibiting the enzymatic activity of MetAP2 have been identified and have been explored for their utility in the treatment of various tumor types (Wang et al. (2003) Cancer Res 63:7861) and infectious diseases, such as, microsporidiosis, leishmaniasis, and malaria (Zhang et al. (2002) J. Biomed Sci. 9:34). Notably, inhibition of MetAP2 activity in obese and obese-diabetic animals leads to a reduction in body weight in part by increasing the oxidation of fat and in part by reducing the consumption of food (Rupnick et al. (2002) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 99: 10730). [0003] 6-O-(4-Dimethylaminoethoxy)cinnamoyl fumagillol is a METAP2 inhibitor and is useful in the treatment of, e.g., obesity. 6-O-(4-Dimethylaminoethoxy)cinnamoyl fumagillol is characterized by formula I:
Example 1 [0060] Crystalline, Form A material of 6-O-(4-dimethylaminoethoxy)cinnamoyl fumagillol was prepared as follows: [0061] Approximately 423 mg of amorphous gum/oil-like 6-O-(4- dimethylaminoethoxy)cinnamoyl fumagillol free base compound was dissolved in ca. 6 mL of diisopropylether (IPE). The solution was allowed to stir for ca. 24 hours at ambient temperature (18-22°C) during which time solid precipitated. The resulting solid was isolated by filtration and dried under vacuum at ambient for ca. 4 hours (yield 35.8 %).

For treatment of congenital ichthyosis, PRECLINICAL, Galderma Res & Dev,
Galderma announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Orphan Drug Designation status for the company’s trifarotene molecule for the treatment of congenital ichthyosis. Based on this decision, Galderma plans to implement a clinical development plan, reinforcing its commitment to exploring new treatment options for rare diseases, as well as meeting the needs of all patients with skin diseases over the course of their lives.

The company’s molecule trifarotene is a selective agonist of the gamma retinoic acid receptor (RAR-gamma), which is currently in clinical development for use in other more common dermatological conditions. It is the drug’s retinoid functionality and potent keratolytic properties that make it a potentially viable treatment of the lamellar ichthyosis pathology. Galderma has already initiated the program for investigating the treatment of lamellar ichthyosis with trifarotene and is currently working in collaboration with regulatory authorities to implement an innovative and expedient clinical development plan.
Ichthyoses comprise a large group of skin scaling disorders with diverse etiologies. The stereotypic pathophysiology is epidermal hyperplasia and abnormal desquamation, leading to visible accumulation of squames (scales) on the skin’s surface. Congenital ichthyosis is a term used to refer to a specific group of rare inherited forms of ichthyoses that are generally more severe than non-inherited forms of the disease. Lamellar ichthyosis is one such disorder that falls within the congenital ichthyosis category. Lamellar ichthyosis is recognized as a severe disease which persists throughout life. After birth, during the first post-natal weeks, the hyperkeratotic (colloidion) membrane patients are typically born with, is gradually shed and is replaced by scaling and lichenification that involves the entire body, including face, scalp, palms and soles. While usually not life threatening, lamellar ichthyosis can result in disability, partial deafness, poor adaptation to environmental conditions (due to hypohydrosis), severe discomfort (pruritus, fissuring of the skin), and significant psycho-social impact. The estimated prevalence of LI in the US is in the range of 1 per 100,000 to 1 per 200,000 persons.

Trifarotene (Aklief). In October 2019, trifarotene, a topical retinoid that
selectively targets retinoic acid receptor gamma (RAR-γ), was approved by the FDA
for the treatment of acne vulgaris [142]. The drug was developed and marketed by
Galderma Pharmaceutical in Switzerland. Trifarotene is considered as the first of the
‘fourth-generation’ retinoids due to its uniquely selective agonism at RAR-γ. The
selective agonism leads to downstream alterations, confering improved efficacy and
reduced side effects [143]. In two phase 3 clinical trials of 2420 patients with
moderate acne on the face and trunk, trifarotene was well tolerated and significantly
reduced inflammatory lesions as early as two weeks on the face and four weeks on the
back, shoulders and chest compared to vehicle (p＜0.05) [144].
The synthetic approach of this drug was disclosed by Galderma Research &
Development (Scheme 25) [145]. Bromination of commercially available
2-(tert-butyl)aniline 171 gave 4-bromo-2-(tert-butyl)aniline 172 in quantitative yield,
which then reacted with 1-dibromobutane 173 to give phenylpyrrolidine 174 in 52%
yield. Miyaura reaction of 174 was realized by employing n-BuLi and triisopropyl
borate (TIPB) followed by washed with aqueous HCl, resulting in arylboronic acid
adduct 175 in 66% yield. Treatment of 175 with aromatic bromide 176 in the presence
of Pd(PPh3)4 gave the coupling product 177 in 47% yield, which then underwent
hydrolysis delivering trifarotene (XIX) in 55% yield.
The preparation of coupling partner 176 is depicted in Scheme 26. Esterification of
4-hydroxy-4-biphenylcarboxylic acid 178 gave ethyl benzoate derivative 179 upon
treatment with catalytic H2SO4 in the refluxing EtOH [145]. The resulting ester was
subjected to treatment with tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) in THF, resulting
in bromide 180 in good yields, further NaH-mediated Williamson ether synthesis with
2-bromoethyl acetate 181 gave 176 in 95% yield.

Belinostat inhibits the growth of tumor cells (A2780, HCT116, HT29, WIL, CALU-3, MCF7, PC3 and HS852) with IC50 from 0.2-0.66 μM. PD101 shows low activity in A2780/cp70 and 2780AD cells. Belinostat inhibits bladder cancer cell growth, especially in 5637 cells, which shows accumulation of G0-G1 phase, decrease in S phase, and increase in G2-M phase. Belinostat also shows enhanced tubulin acetylation in ovarian cancer cell lines. A recent study shows that Belinostat activates protein kinase A in a TGF-β signaling-dependent mechanism and decreases survivin mRNA.
PTCL comprises a diverse group of rare diseases in which lymph nodes become cancerous. In 2014, the National Cancer Institute estimates that 70,800 Americans will be diagnosed with NHL and 18,990 will die. PTCL represents about 10 to 15 percent of NHLs in North America.
Beleodaq works by stopping enzymes that contribute to T-cells, a type of immune cell, becoming cancerous. It is intended for patients whose disease returned after treatment (relapsed) or did not respond to previous treatment (refractory).
“This is the third drug that has been approved since 2009 for the treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma,” said Richard Pazdur, M.D., director of the Office of Hematology and Oncology Products in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. “Today’s approval expands the number of treatment options available to patients with serious and life-threatening diseases.”
The FDA granted accelerated approval to Folotyn (pralatrexate) in 2009 for use in patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL and Istodax (romidepsin) in 2011 for the treatment of PTCL in patients who received at least one prior therapy.
The safety and effectiveness of Beleodaq was evaluated in a clinical study involving 129 participants with relapsed or refractory PTCL. All participants were treated with Beleodaq until their disease progressed or side effects became unacceptable. Results showed 25.8 percent of participants had their cancer disappear (complete response) or shrink (partial response) after treatment.
The most common side effects seen in Beleodaq-treated participants were nausea, fatigue, fever (pyrexia), low red blood cells (anemia), and vomiting.
The FDA’s accelerated approval program allows for approval of a drug based on surrogate or intermediate endpoints reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit for patients with serious conditions with unmet medical needs. Drugs receiving accelerated approval are subject to confirmatory trials verifying clinical benefit. Beleodaq also received orphan product designation by the FDA because it is intended to treat a rare disease or condition.
Beleodaq and Folotyn are marketed by Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc., based in Henderson, Nevada. Istodax is marketed by Celgene Corporation based in Summit, New Jersey.

A novel HDAC inhibitor
…………………………
Belinostat (PXD101) is experimental drug candidate under development byTopoTarget for the treatment of hematological malignancies and solid tumors. It is a histone deacetylase inhibitor.[1]
A hydroxamate-type inhibitor of histone deacetylase.
NCI: A novel hydroxamic acid-type histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor with antineoplastic activity. Belinostat targets HDAC enzymes, thereby inhibiting tumor cell proliferation, inducing apoptosis, promoting cellular differentiation, and inhibiting angiogenesis. This agent may sensitize drug-resistant tumor cells to other antineoplastic agents, possibly through a mechanism involving the down-regulation of thymidylate synthase
In 2007 preliminary results were released from the Phase II clinical trial of intravenous belinostat in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel for relapsedovarian cancer.[2] Final results in late 2009 of a phase II trial for T cell lymphomawere encouraging.[3] Belinostat has been granted orphan drug and fast trackdesignation by the FDA.[4]
The study of inhibitors of histone deacetylases indicates that these enzymes play an important role in cell proliferation and differentiation. The inhibitor Trichostatin A (TSA) (Yoshida et al., 1990a) causes cell cycle arrest at both G1 and G2 phases (Yoshida and Beppu, 1988), reverts the transformed phenotype of different cell lines, and induces differentiation of Friend leukaemia cells and others (Yoshida et al., 1990b). TSA (and SAHA) have been reported to inhibit cell growth, induce terminal differentiation, and prevent the formation of tumours in mice (Finnin et al., 1999).
Trichostatin A (TSA)
Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid (SAHA)
Cell cycle arrest by TSA correlates with an increased expression of gelsolin (Hoshikawa et al., 1994), an actin regulatory protein that is down regulated in malignant breast cancer (Mielnicki et al., 1999). Similar effects on cell cycle and differentiation have been observed with a number of deacetylase inhibitors (Kim et al., 1999). Trichostatin A has also been reported to be useful in the treatment of fibrosis, e.g., liver fibrosis and liver cirrhosis. See, e.g., Geerts et al., 1998.
Recently, certain compounds that induce differentiation have been reported to inhibit histone deacetylases. Several experimental antitumour compounds, such as trichostatin A (TSA), trapoxin, suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), and phenylbutyrate have been reported to act, at least in part, by inhibiting histone deacetylase (see, e.g., Yoshida et al., 1990; Richon et al., 1998; Kijima et al., 1993). Additionally, diallyl sulfide and related molecules (see, e.g., Lea et al., 1999), oxamflatin (see, e.g., Kim et al., 1999), MS-27-275, a synthetic benzamide derivative (see, e.g., Saito et al., 1999; Suzuki et al., 1999; note that MS-27-275 was later re-named as MS-275), butyrate derivatives (see, e.g., Lea and Tulsyan, 1995), FR901228 (see, e.g., Nokajima et al., 1998), depudecin (see, e.g., Kwon et al., 1998), and m-carboxycinnamic acid bishydroxamide (see, e.g., Richon et al., 1998) have been reported to inhibit histone deacetylases. In vitro, some of these compounds are reported to inhibit the growth of fibroblast cells by causing cell cycle arrest in the G1 and G2 phases, and can lead to the terminal differentiation and loss of transforming potential of a variety of transformed cell lines (see, e.g., Richon et al, 1996; Kim et al., 1999; Yoshida et al., 1995; Yoshida & Beppu, 1988). In vivo, phenybutyrate is reported to be effective in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia in conjunction with retinoic acid (see, e.g., Warrell et al., 1998). SAHA is reported to be effective in preventing the formation of mammary tumours in rats, and lung tumours in mice (see, e.g., Desai et al., 1999).
The clear involvement of HDACs in the control of cell proliferation and differentiation suggest that aberrant HDAC activity may play a role in cancer. The most direct demonstration that deacetylases contribute to cancer development comes from the analysis of different acute promyelocytic leukaemias (APL). In most APL patients, a translocation of chromosomes 15 and 17 (t(15;17)) results in the expression of a fusion protein containing the N-terminal portion of PML gene product linked to most of RARσ (retinoic acid receptor). In some cases, a different translocation (t(11 ;17)) causes the fusion between the zinc finger protein PLZF and RARα. In the absence of ligand, the wild type RARα represses target genes by tethering HDAC repressor complexes to the promoter DNA. During normal hematopoiesis, retinoic acid (RA) binds RARα and displaces the repressor complex, allowing expression of genes implicated in myeloid differentiation. The RARα fusion proteins occurring in APL patients are no longer responsive to physiological levels of RA and they interfere with the expression of the RA- inducible genes that promote myeloid differentiation. This results in a clonal expansion of promyelocytic cells and development of leukaemia. In vitro experiments have shown that TSA is capable of restoring RA-responsiveness to the fusion RARα proteins and of allowing myeloid differentiation. These results establish a link between HDACs and oncogenesis and suggest that HDACs are potential targets for pharmaceutical intervention in APL patients. (See, for example, Kitamura et al., 2000; David et al., 1998; Lin et al., 1998).
BELINOSTAT
Furthermore, different lines of evidence suggest that HDACs may be important therapeutic targets in other types of cancer. Cell lines derived from many different cancers (prostate, coloreetal, breast, neuronal, hepatic) are induced to differentiate by HDAC inhibitors (Yoshida and Horinouchi, 1999). A number of HDAC inhibitors have been studied in animal models of cancer. They reduce tumour growth and prolong the lifespan of mice bearing different types of transplanted tumours, including melanoma, leukaemia, colon, lung and gastric carcinomas, etc. (Ueda et al., 1994; Kim et al., 1999).
Psoriasis is a common chronic disfiguring skin disease which is characterised by well-demarcated, red, hardened scaly plaques: these may be limited or widespread. The prevalence rate of psoriasis is approximately 2%, i.e., 12.5 million sufferers in the triad countries (US/Europe/Japan). While the disease is rarely fatal, it clearly has serious detrimental effects upon the quality of life of the patient: this is further compounded by the lack of effective therapies. Present treatments are either ineffective, cosmetically unacceptable, or possess undesired side effects. There is therefore a large unmet clinical need for effective and safe drugs for this condition. Psoriasis is a disease of complex etiology. Whilst there is clearly a genetic component, with a number of gene loci being involved, there are also undefined environmental triggers. Whatever the ultimate cause of psoriasis, at the cellular level, it is characterised by local T-cell mediated inflammation, by keratinocyte hyperproliferation, and by localised angiogenesis. These are all processes in which histone deacetylases have been implicated (see, e.g., Saunders et al., 1999; Bernhard et al, 1999; Takahashi et al, 1996; Kim et al , 2001 ). Therefore HDAC inhibitors may be of use in therapy for psoriasis. Candidate drugs may be screened, for example, using proliferation assays with T-cells and/or keratinocytes.

PXD101/Belinostat®
(E)-N-hydroxy-3-(3-phenylsulfamoyl-phenyl)-acrylamide, also known as PXD101 and Belinostat®, shown below, is a well known histone deacetylate (HDAC) inhibitor. It is being developed for treatment of a range of disorders mediated by HDAC, including proliferative conditions (such as cancer and psoriasis), malaria, etc.
PXD101 was first described in WO 02/30879 A2. That document describes a multi-step method of synthesis which may conveniently be illustrated by the following scheme.

GENERAL SYNTHESIS
IGNORE 10
ENTRY 45 IS BELINOSTAT
Scheme 1
By using amines instead of aniline, the corresponding products may be obtained. The use of aniline, 4-methoxyaniline, 4-methylaniline, 4-bromoaniline, 4-chloroaniline, 4-benzylamine, and 4-phenethyamine, among others, is described in the Examples below.
In another method, a suitable amino acid (e.g., ω-amino acid) having a protected carboxylic acid (e.g., as an ester) and an unprotected amino group is reacted with a sulfonyl chloride compound (e.g., RSO2CI) to give the corresponding sulfonamide having a protected carboxylic acid. The protected carboxylic acid is then deprotected using base to give the free carboxylic acid, which is then reacted with, for example, hydroxylamine 2-chlorotrityl resin followed by acid (e.g., trifluoroacetic acid), to give the desired carbamic acid.
One example of this approach is illustrated below, in Scheme 2, wherein the reaction conditions are as follows: (i) RSO2CI, pyridine, DCM, room temperature, 12 hours; (ii) 1 M LiOH or 1 M NaOH, dioxane, room temperature, 3-48 hours; (iii) hydroxylamine 2-chlorotrityl resin, HOAt, HATU, DIPEA, DCM, room temperature, 16 hours; and (iv) TFA/DCM (5:95, v/v), room temperature, 1.5 hours.

The obtained solution was stirred at 40°C for ten hours and at ambient temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was poured into ice and extracted with ethyl acetate. The aqueous phase was treated with CaC03 until the evolution of C02 ceased (pH~6-7), then the precipitated CaSO4was filtered off and washed with water. The filtrate was treated with Na2CO3 until the pH of the reaction medium increased to pH 8, obtained CaCO3 was filtered off and water solution was evaporated in vacuum. The residue was washed with methanol, the washings were evaporated and the residue was dried in desiccator over P2Oβ affording the title compound (2.00 g, 51%). 1H NMR (D20), δ: 7.56-8.40 (4H, m); 10.04 ppm (1 H, s).

(E)-N-hydroxy-3-(3-phenylsulfamoyl-phenyl)-acrylamide, also known as PXD101 and Belinostat®, shown below, is a well known histone deacetylate (HDAC) inhibitor. It is being developed for treatment of a range of disorders mediated by HDAC, including proliferative conditions (such as cancer and psoriasis), malaria, etc.
PXD101 was first described in WO 02/30879 A2. That document describes a multi-step method of synthesis which may conveniently be illustrated by the following scheme.

There is a need for alternative methods for the synthesis of PXD101 and related compounds for example, methods which are simpler and/or employ fewer steps and/or permit higher yields and/or higher purity product.
Scheme 5
DMAP, toluene
Synthesis 1 3-Bromo-N-phenyl-benzenesulfonamide (3)
To a 30 gallon (-136 L) reactor was charged aniline (2) (4.01 kg; 93.13 g/mol; 43 mol), toluene (25 L), and 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) (12 g), and the mixture was heated to 50-600C. 3-Bromobenzenesulfonyl chloride (1) (5 kg; 255.52 g/mol; 19.6 mol) was charged into the reactor over 30 minutes at 50-600C and progress of the reaction was monitored by HPLC. After 19 hours, toluene (5 L) was added due to losses overnight through the vent line and the reaction was deemed to be complete with no compound (1) being detected by HPLC. The reaction mixture was diluted with toluene (10 L) and then quenched with 2 M aqueous hydrochloric acid (20 L). The organic and aqueous layers were separated, the aqueous layer was discarded, and the organic layer was washed with water (20 L), and then 5% (w/w) sodium bicarbonate solution (20 L), while maintaining the batch temperature at 45-55°C. The batch was then used in the next synthesis.
Synthesis 2 (E)-3-(3-Phenylsulfamoyl-phenyl)-acrylic acid ethyl ester (5)
To the batch containing 3-bromo-N-phenyl-benzenesulfonamide (3) (the treated organic layer obtained in the previous synthesis) was added triethylamine (2.97 kg; 101.19 g/mol; 29.4 mol), tri(o-tolyl)phosphine (119 g; 304.37 g/mol; 0.4 mol), and palladium (II) acetate (44 g; 224.51 g/mol; 0.2 mol), and the resulting mixture was degassed four times with a vacuum/nitrogen purge at 45-55°C. Catalytic palladium (0) was formed in situ. The batch was then heated to 80-900C and ethyl acrylate (4) (2.16 kg; 100.12 g/mol; 21.6 mol) was slowly added over 2.75 hours. The batch was sampled after a further 2 hours and was deemed to be complete with no compound (3) being detected by HPLC. The batch was cooled to 45-55°C and for convenience was left at this temperature overnight.
The batch was then reduced in volume under vacuum to 20-25 L, at a batch temperature of 45-55°C, and ethyl acetate (20 L) was added. The batch was filtered and the residue washed with ethyl acetate (3.5 L). The residue was discarded and the filtrates were sent to a 100 gallon (-454 L) reactor, which had been pre-heated to 600C. The 30 gallon (-136 L) reactor was then cleaned to remove any residual Pd, while the batch in the 100 gallon (-454 L) reactor was washed with 2 M aqueous hydrochloric acid and water at 45-55°C. Once the washes were complete and the 30 gallon (-136 L) reactor was clean, the batch was transferred from the 100 gallon (-454 L) reactor back to the 30 gallon (-136 L) reactor and the solvent was swapped under vacuum from ethyl acetate/toluene to toluene while maintaining a batch temperature of 45-55°C (the volume was reduced to 20-25 L). At this point, the batch had precipitated and heptanes (10 L) were added to re-dissolve it. The batch was then cooled to 0-100C and held at this temperature over the weekend in order to precipitate the product. The batch was filtered and the residue was washed with heptanes (5 L). A sample of the wet-cake was taken for Pd analysis. The Pd content of the crude product (5) was determined to be 12.9 ppm.
The wet-cake was then charged back into the 30 gallon (-136 L) reactor along with ethyl acetate (50 L) and heated to 40-500C in order to obtain a solution. A sparkler filter loaded with 12 impregnated Darco G60® carbon pads was then connected to the reactor and the solution was pumped around in a loop through the sparkler filter. After 1 hour, a sample was taken and evaporated to dryness and analysed for Pd content. The amount of Pd was found to be 1.4 ppm. A second sample was taken after 2 hours and evaporated to dryness and analysed for Pd content. The amount of Pd had been reduced to 0.6 ppm. The batch was blown back into the reactor and held at 40-500C overnight before the solvent was swapped under vacuum from ethyl acetate to toluene while maintaining a batch temperature of 45-55°C (the volume was reduced to 20-25 L). At this point, the batch had precipitated and heptanes (10 L) were added to re-dissolve it and the batch was cooled to 0-100C and held at this temperature overnight in order to precipitate the product. The batch was filtered and the residue was washed with heptanes (5 L). The filtrate was discarded and the residue was dried at 45-55°C under vacuum for 25 hours. A first lot of the title compound (5) was obtained as an off-white solid (4.48 kg, 69% overall yield from 3-bromobenzenesulfonyl chloride (1)) with a Pd content of 0.4 ppm and a purity of 99.22% (AUC) by HPLC.
Synthesis 3 (E)-3-(3-Phenylsulfamoyl-phenyl)-acrvlic acid (6)
To the 30 gallon (-136 L) reactor was charged the (E)-3-(3-phenylsulfamoyl-phenyl)- acrylic acid ethyl ester (5) (4.48 kg; 331.39 g/mol; 13.5 mol) along with 2 M aqueous sodium hydroxide (17.76 L; -35 mol). The mixture was heated to 40-50°C and held at this temperature for 2 hours before sampling, at which point the reaction was deemed to be complete with no compound (5) being detected by HPLC. The batch was adjusted to pH 2.2 using 1 M aqueous hydrochloric acid while maintaining the batch temperature between 40-500C. The product had precipitated and the batch was cooled to 20-300C and held at this temperature for 1 hour before filtering and washing the cake with water (8.9 L). The filtrate was discarded. The batch was allowed to condition on the filter overnight before being charged back into the reactor and slurried in water (44.4 L) at 40-500C for 2 hours. The batch was cooled to 15-20°C, held for 1 hour, and then filtered and the residue washed with water (8.9 L). The filtrate was discarded. The crude title compound (6) was transferred to an oven for drying at 45-55°C under vacuum with a slight nitrogen bleed for 5 days (this was done for convenience) to give a white solid (3.93 kg, 97% yield). The moisture content of the crude material was measured using Karl Fischer (KF) titration and found to be <0.1% (w/w). To the 30 gallon (-136 L) reactor was charged the crude compound (6) along with acetonitrile (47.2 L). The batch was heated to reflux (about 80°C) and held at reflux for 2 hours before cooling to 0-10°C and holding at this temperature overnight in order to precipitate the product. The batch was filtered and the residue was washed with cold acetonitrile (7.9 L). The filtrate was discarded and the residue was dried under vacuum at 45-55°C for 21.5 hours. The title compound (6) was obtained as a fluffy white solid (3.37 kg, 84% yield with respect to compound (5)) with a purity of 99.89% (AUC) by HPLC.
Synthesis 4 (E)-N-Hvdroxy-3-(3-phenylsulfamoyl-phenyl)-acrylamide (PXD101) BELINOSTAT
To the 30 gallon (-136 L) reactor was charged (E)-3-(3-phenylsulfamoyl-phenyl)-acrylic acid (6) (3.37 kg; 303.34 g/mol; 11.1 mol) and a pre-mixed solution of 1 ,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) in isopropyl acetate (IPAc) (27 g in 30 L; 152.24 g/mol; 0.18 mol). The slurry was stirred and thionyl chloride (SOCI2) (960 mL; density ~1.631 g/mL; 118.97 g/mol; -13 mol) was added to the reaction mixture and the batch was stirred at 20-300C overnight. After 18.5 hours, the batch was sampled and deemed to be complete with no compound (6) being detected by HPLC. The resulting solution was transferred to a 100 L Schott reactor for temporary storage while the
30 gallon (-136 L) reactor was rinsed with isopropyl acetate (IPAc) and water. Deionized water (28.9 L) was then added to the 30 gallon (-136 L) reactor followed by 50% (w/w) hydroxylamine (6.57 L; -1.078 g/mL; 33.03 g/mol; -214 mol) and another charge of deionized water (1.66 L) to rinse the lines free of hydroxylamine to make a 10% (w/w) hydroxylamine solution. Tetrahydrofuran (THF) (6.64 L) was then charged to the
30 gallon (-136 L) reactor and the mixture was stirred and cooled to 0-100C. The acid chloride solution (from the 100 L Schott reactor) was then slowly charged into the hydroxylamine solution over 1 hour maintaining a batch temperature of 0-10°C during the addition. The batch was then allowed to warm to 20-300C. The aqueous layer was separated and discarded. The organic layer was then reduced in volume under vacuum while maintaining a batch temperature of less than 300C. The intention was to distill out 10-13 L of solvent, but this level was overshot. A larger volume of isopropyl acetate (IPAc) (16.6 L) was added and about 6 L of solvent was distilled out. The batch had precipitated and heptanes (24.9 L) were added and the batch was held at 20-30°C overnight. The batch was filtered and the residue was washed with heptanes (6.64 L). The filtrate was discarded and the residue was dried at 45-55°C under vacuum with a slight nitrogen bleed over the weekend. The title compound (PXD101) was obtained as a light orange solid (3.11 kg, 89% yield with respect to compound (6)) with a purity of 99.25% (AUC) by HPLC.
The title compound (PXD101) (1.2 kg, 3.77 mol) was dissolved in 8 volumes of 1:1 (EtOH/water) at 600C. Sodium bicarbonate (15.8 g, 5 mol%) was added to the solution. Water (HPLC grade) was then added at a rate of 65 mL/min while keeping the internal temperature >57°C. After water (6.6 L) had been added, crystals started to form and the water addition was stopped. The reaction mixture was then cooled at a rate of 10°C/90 min to a temperature of 0-10cC and then stirred at ambient temperature overnight. The crystals were then filtered and collected. The filter cake was washed by slurrying in water (2 x 1.2 L) and then dried in an oven at 45°C for 60 hours with a slight nitrogen bleed. 1.048 kg (87% recovery) of a light orange solid was recovered. Microscopy and XRPD data showed a conglomerate of irregularly shaped birefringant crystalline particles. The compound was found to contain 0.02% water.
As discussed above: the yield of compound (5) with respect to compound (1) was 69%. the yield of compound (6) with respect to compound (5) was 84%. the yield of PXD101 with respect to compound (6) was 89%.

FORMULATION
Formulation Studies
These studies demonstrate a substantial enhancement of HDACi solubility (on the order of a 500-fold increase for PXD-101) using one or more of: cyclodextrin, arginine, and meglumine. The resulting compositions are stable and can be diluted to the desired target concentration without the risk of precipitation. Furthermore, the compositions have a pH that, while higher than ideal, is acceptable for use.
UV Absorbance
The ultraviolet (UV absorbance E\ value for PXD-101 was determined by plotting a calibration curve of PXD-101 concentration in 50:50 methanol/water at the λmax for the material, 269 nm. Using this method, the E1i value was determined as 715.7.
Methanol/water was selected as the subsequent diluting medium for solubility studies rather than neat methanol (or other organic solvent) to reduce the risk of precipitation of the cyclodextrin.
Solubility in Demineralised Water
The solubility of PXD-101 was determined to be 0.14 mg/mL for demineralised water. Solubility Enhancement with Cvclodextrins
Saturated samples of PXD-101 were prepared in aqueous solutions of two natural cyclodextrins (α-CD and γ-CD) and hydroxypropyl derivatives of the α, β and Y cyclodextrins (HP-α-CD, HP-β-CD and HP-γ-CD). All experiments were completed with cyclodextrin concentrations of 250 mg/mL, except for α-CD, where the solubility of the cyclodextrin was not sufficient to achieve this concentration. The data are summarised in the following table. HP-β-CD offers the best solubility enhancement for PXD-101.
Phase Solubility Determination of HP-β-CD
The phase solubility diagram for HP-β-CD was prepared for concentrations of cyclodextrin between 50 and 500 mg/mL (5-50% w/v). The calculated saturated solubilities of the complexed HDACi were plotted against the concentration of cyclodextrin. See Figure 1.

PTC Therapeutics Initiates Confirmatory Phase 3 Clinical Trial of Translarna™ (ataluren) in Patients with Nonsense Mutation Cystic Fibrosis (nmCF) – MarketWatch
Ataluren, formerly known as PTC124, is a small-molecular agent designed by PTC Therapeutics and sold under the trade nameTranslarna. It makes ribosomes less sensitive to premature stop codons (referred to as “read-through”). This may be beneficial in diseases such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy where the mRNA contains a mutation causing premature stop codons or nonsense codons. There is ongoing debate over whether Ataluren is truly a functional drug (inducing codon read-through), or if it is nonfunctional, and the result was a false-positive hit from a biochemical screen based on luciferase.[1]
Ataluren has been tested on healthy humans and humans carrying genetic disorders caused by nonsense mutations,[2][3] such as some people with cystic fibrosis and Duchenne muscular dystrophy. In 2010, PTC Therapeutics released preliminary results of its phase 2b clinical trial for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, with participants not showing a significant improvement in the six minute walk distance after the 48 weeks of the trial.[4] This failure resulted in the termination of a $100 million deal with Genzyme to pursue the drug. However, other phase 2 clinical trials were successful for cystic fibrosis in Israel, France and Belgium.[5] Multicountry phase 3 clinical trials are currently in progress for cystic fibrosis in Europe and the USA.[6]
In cystic fibrosis, early studies of ataluren show that it improves nasal potential difference.[7]
Ataluren appears to be most effective for the stop codon ‘UGA’.[2]
On 23 May 2014 ataluren received a positive opinion from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA).[8]
It is not that ataluren is a complex molecule. To judge from one of the patents, synthesis is straightforward starting from 2-cyanobenoic acid and 2-fluorobenzoyl chloride, both commercially available. The synthetic steps are methylation of 2-cyanobenoic acid (iodomethane), nitrile hydrolysis with hydroxylamine, esterification with the fluoro acid chloride using DIPEA, high-temperature dehydration to the oxadiazole and finally ester hydrolysis (NaOH).

Orphan drug under investigation for treatment of genetic conditions where nonsense mutations result in premature termination of polypeptides. This drug, which is convenient to deliver orally, appears to allow ribosomal transcription ofRNA to continue past premature termination codon mutations with correct reading of the full normal transcript which then terminates at the proper stop codon. Problematically it has been postulated that assay artifact may have complicated evaluation of its efficacy which appears to be less than gentamicin.[1] Faults of this class in the transcription process are involved in several inherited diseases.
Some forms of cystic fibrosis and Duchenne muscular dystrophy are being targeted in the development stage of the drug.[2] Phase I and II trials are promising for cystic fibrosis.[3][4] In a mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, restoration of muscle function occurred.[5]
A potential issue is that there may be parts of the human genome whose optimal gene function through evolution has resulted from relatively recent in evolutionary terms insertion of a premature termination codon and so functional suboptimal transcripts of other proteins or functional RNAs might result.

A large-scale, multinational, phase 3 trial of the experimental drug ataluren has opened its first trial site, in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The trial is recruiting boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) or Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) caused by anonsense mutation — also known as a premature stop codon — in the dystrophin gene. This type of mutation causes cells to stop synthesizing a protein before the process is complete, resulting in a short, nonfunctional protein. Nonsense mutations are believed to cause DMD or BMD in approximately 10 to 15 percent of boys with these disorders.
Ataluren — sometimes referred to as a stop codon read-through drug — has the potential to overcome the effects of a nonsense mutation and allow functional dystrophin — the muscle protein that’s missing in Duchenne MD and deficient in Becker MD — to be produced.
The orally delivered drug is being developed by PTC Therapeutics, a South Plainfield, N.J., biotechnology company, to whichMDA gave a $1.5 million grant in 2005.
PTC124 has been developed by PTC Therapeutics.

Market Overview
In the largest market for orphan drugs, USA, there was a shortage of adequate therapies for treating many rare diseases. These therapies were not developed as companies did not expect these drugs to be highly profitable. Hence there was a lack of interest and thus investment on the part of pharma companies in the USA. Therefore, the FDA introduced incentives for developing such drugs. This step taken by the FDA was successful in creating a thriving market for orphan drugs. It was in the USA first that a special law exclusively for governing orphan drugs was framed in the form of the Orphan Drug Act of 1983. This led to an increase in the popularity of orphan drugs. The FDA also has been continuously increasing its efforts to support this market by providing significant financial and non-financial incentives to the pharmaceutical companies to attract them. This has been one of the major drivers of growth for the US orphan drugs market.

DARA BioSciences receives FDA orphan drug designation for KRN5500
DARA BioSciences has received orphan drug designation from the US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Office of Orphan Products Development for KRN5500, for treating multiple myeloma
Multiple myeloma is a hematologic cancer or cancer of the blood.
KRN5500 is a non-opioid, non-narcotic compound that is currently being tested in Phase I clinical trial.
Earlier this year, KRN5500 received orphan status to be developed for the parenteral treatment of painful, chronic, chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CCIPN) that is refractory to conventional analgesics in patients with cancer.
“We believe this myeloma-specific orphan designation enhances both the viability and the future market opportunity for this valuable pipeline product.”
DARA BioSciences MD, CEO and chief medical officer David J Drutz said: “It is noteworthy in this regard that up to 20% of myeloma patients have intrinsic peripheral neuropathy, an incidence that increases to the range of 75% in patients treated with neurotoxic drugs such as thalidomide or bortezomib.
KRN5500 is a semisynthetic derivative of the nucleoside-like antineoplastic antibiotic spicamycin, originally isolated from the bacterium Streptomyces alanosinicus. KRN 5500 inhibits protein synthesis by interfering with endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus functions. This agent also induces cell differentiation and caspase-dependent apoptosis.
KRN5500 is available as a solution for intravenous (IV) administration. KRN5500 was discovered in an effort to identify new agents that induced differentiation of myeloid leukemia cells.
Safety and efficacy data from Phase I trials have been leveraged to support DARA Therapeutics’ active IND and ongoing Phase 2a clinical trial. The objective of this Phase 2a feasibility study is to determine the potential of KRN5500 (a spicamycin analogue) to be a breakthrough medicine for the treatment of neuropathic pain in cancer patients.
Four clinical trials have been conducted in cancer patients, including one in Japan and 3 in the United States. Three of these studies are complete; the fourth was closed to patient accrual and treatment in December 2004.
A total of 91 patients with solid tumors have been treated with single IV KRN5500 doses of up to 21 mg/m2 and weekly doses of up to 42 mg/m2. While KRN5500 has not shown anti-cancer efficacy in any trial, its use in pain elimination is encouraging. (source: http://www.darabiosciences.com/krn5500.htm).

- 6-[4′-N-(N’-trans,trans-2,4-tridecadienylglycyl)spicamynyl-amino]purine,
- (20) SPK241:
Example 52: Preparation of SPK241
-
[0214]To trans-2-dodecenal (4.5 g) dissolved in methylene chloride (80 ml) was added (carbomethoxymethylene)triphenylphosphorane (8.3 g), and the mixture was stirred for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was subjected to chromatography on a silica gel column with eluent systems of n-hexane- ethyl acetate (from 100:1 to 20:1) to give the methyl ester of trans,trans-2,4-tetradecadienoic acid (5.4 g). Potassium hydroxide (6.5 g) was dissolved in a mixed solvent of ethanol-water (1:1) (100 ml). The methyl ester of trans,trans-2,4-tetradecadienoic acid (5.4 g) was added to the mixture, and the resulting mixture was stirred at 60 °C for 40 minutes. After the reaction mixture was cooled, it was adjusted to the weak acidic range of pH with citric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated to give trans,trans-2,4-tetradecadienoic acid (4.4 g). Hereafter, the title compound can be synthesized by the two methods described below.
-
[0215]In the first method, trans,trans-2,4-tetradecadienoic acid (4.3 g) is first dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF, 50 ml). Para-nitrophenol (2.67 g) and N,N’-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (3.9 g) were added to trans,trans-2,4-tetradecadienoic acid solution, and the mixture was stirred for 12 hours. After precipitates produced were removed by filtration and the solvent (DMF) was removed by distillation, the residue was subjected to chromatography on a silica gel column with eluent systems of n-hexane-ethyl acetate (from 200:1 to 50:1) to give the active ester of trans,trans-2,4-tetradecadienoic acid (5.1 g). To the active ester (500 mg) dissolved in DMF (30 ml) were added 6-(4′-N-glycyl-spicamynyl-amino)purine hydrochloride (556 mg) and triethylamine (1.2 ml). The mixture was stirred for 12 hours. After the solvent was removed by distillation, the residue was subjected to chromatography on a silica gel column with eluent systems of chloroform-methanol (from 7:1 to 5:1) to give SPK241 in the yield of 398 mg.
-
[0216]In the second method, trans,trans-2,4-tetradecadienoic acid (99.6 g) was dissolved in thionyl chloride (87 ml), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature. The excessive thionyl chloride was removed by distillation to give trans,trans-2,4-tetradecadienoic acid chloride (102.0 g). To glycine (66.8 g) dissolved in an aqueous 2N sodium hydroxide solution (540 ml) were added at the same time trans,trans-2,4-tetradecadienoic acid chloride (102.0 g) and 2N sodium hydroxide (270 ml) with 1/10 portions at a 3 minute interval. After the addition was completed, the mixture was warmed to room temperature, stirred for 15 minutes and acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid (140 ml) under ice-cooling. Precipitates thus produced were collected by filtration and desiccated to give trans,trans-2,4-tetradecadienoyl glycine (75.0 g). To the solution of trans,trans-2,4-tetradecadienoyl glycine (4.7 g) and 6-(4′-N-glycyl-spicamynyl-amino)-purine (5.1 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF, 60 ml) was added N-hydroxysuccinimide (2.1 g), and the mixture was ice-cooled. 1-Ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (3.4 g) dissolved in DMF (100 ml) was added dropwise to the mixture. After the addition was completed, the mixture was heated to room temperature and stirred for 12 hours. Water (500 ml) was added to the reaction mixture, and precipitates produced were collected by filtration and desiccated. Sodium methoxide (3.1 g) was added to a suspension of the precipitates in methanol (100 ml), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature, then ice-cooled and acidified by adding dropwise thereto a 10% methanolic hydrochloric acid solution. Precipitates produced were filtered, dried and subjected to chromatography on a silica gel column with eluent systems of chloroform-methanol (from 7:1 to 5:1) to give SPK241 in the yield of 5.00 g.

Spicamycin derivs. and the use thereof
The hydrolysis of the spicamycin mixture (I) with R = alkyl by means of HCl in alcohol or water gives 6-(spicaminylamino)purine (II). (The hydrolysis can also be performed with other inorganic acids such as H2SO4 or organic ones such as acetic acid or formic acid.) The condensation of (II) with N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)glycine (III) by the active ester method yields the protected glycyl derivative (IV), which is deprotected with TFA (or methanolic HCl) to afford the glycyl derivative (V). Finally, this compound is condensed with tetradeca-2(E),4(E)-dienoic acid (VI) by the active ester method to provide the target carboxamide derivative.

EXAMPLES
Synthesis of COTI-2 The synthesis of COTI-2, as depicted above, was conducted according to the following synthetic methodology:
DCM R T
H2N-NH2
lmidazol-1 -yl-(4-pyridin-2-yl-piperazin-1 -yl)-methanethione (or intermediate 3 above) was formed as follows. Λ/-(2-pyridyl) piperazine (MW 163.22, 0.91 ml, 6.0 mmoles, 1 eq) 2 was added to a solution of 1 ,1 ‘- thiocarbonyldiimidazole (MW 178.22, 1.069 g, 6.0 mmoles, 1 eq) 1 in 50 ml of dichloromethane at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The mixture was washed with water, dried \ over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to provide imidazol-1-yl-(4- pyridin-2-yl-piperazin-1-yl)-methanethione (MW 273.36, 1.354 g, 4.95 mmol, 83% yield) 3, which was used without further purification. TLC (CH2CI2/MeOH: 95/5): Rf = 0.60, Product UV and Ninhydrin stain active. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCI3), δ ppm: 3.72 (s, 4H), 4.02 (s, 4H), 6.67 (d, 1 H, J = 7 Hz), 6.72 (dd, 1 H, J = 7 and 5 Hz), 7.11 (s, 1 H), 7.24 (s, 1 H), 7.54 (t, 1 H, J = 7 Hz), 7.91 (s, 1 H), 8.20 (d, 1 H, J = 5 Hz).
Hydrazine hydrate (MW 50.06, 0.26 ml, 5.44 mmoles, 1.1 eq) was added to a solution of imidazol-1-yl-(4-pyridin-2-yl-piperazin-1-yl)- methanethione 3 (MW 210.30, 1.040 g, 4.95 mmol, 1 eq) in 30 ml of ethanol at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred under reflux for 2 hours. A white precipitate formed. This white solid was filtered off and rinsed with diethyl ether to yield 1-[Λ/-(2-pyridyl)-piperazine)-carbothioic acid hydrazide (MW 237.33, 0.86 g, 3.62 mmol, 73% yield) 4 as a white solid, and used without further purification. TLC (CH2CI2/MeOH: 95/5): Rf = 0.20, Product UV and Ninhydrin stain active. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6), δ ppm: 3.53 (s, 4H), 3.85 (s, 4H), 6.66 (dd, 1 H, J = 8 and 5 Hz), 6.82 (d, 1 H, J = 8 Hz), 7.55 (t, 1 H, J = 8 Hz), 8.12 (d, 1 H, J = 5 Hz).
COTI-2
Finally, COTI-2 was formed as follows. 1-[Λ/-(2-pyridyl)-piperazine)- carbothioic acid hydrazide (MW 237.33, 0.475 g, 2.0 mmol, 1 eq) 4 and 6,7- dihydro-5H-quinolin-8-one (MW 147.18, 0.306 g, 2.0 mmol, 1 eq) 5 was dissolved in 15 ml of ethanol at room temperature. The mixture was then stirred under reflux for 20 hours. A yellow solid precipitated out of the solution. This solid was filtered off then rinsed with methanol and diethyl ether to yield COTI-2 (MW 366.48, 0.60 g, 1.64 mmol, 82% yield) as a yellow solid. TLC (CH2CI2/MeOH: 95/5): Rf = 0.75, Product UV and Ninhydrine stain active. HPLC analysis showed a mixture of isomers (approximately in 80/20 ratio), and >98% purity. During the HPLC Method Development, as expected, this product tends to be hydrolyzed in presence of TFA in mobile phase solution. MS (ESI+, 0.025% TFA in 50/50 MeOH/H2O): [M+H]+ = 367.1 , [M+Na]+ = 389.1 ; 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCI3), δ ppm (Major isomer): 2.09 (m, 2H), 2.92 (m, 4H), 3.67 (m, 4H), 4.27 (m, 4H), 6.69 (dd, 1 H, J = 8 and 5 Hz)1 7.25 (dd,

phase 3 pulmonary hypertention
Selexipag (ACT-293987, NS-304) is a drug currently in development by Actelion as a treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. Selexipag and its active metabolite, ACT-333679, are agonists at the PGI2 prostaglandin receptor, which leads to vasodilation in the pulmonary circulation
Selexipag, originally discovered and synthesized by Nippon Shinyaku, is a potent, orally available, selective prostacyclin IP receptor agonist.
Selexipag selectively targets the prostacyclin receptor (also called IP-receptor). The IP receptor is one of
5 types of prostanoid receptor. Prostacyclin activates the IP receptor inducing vasodilation and inhibiting proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells. Selexipag, unlike prostacyclin analogs, is selective for the IP receptor over other prostanoid receptors.
In April 2008, Actelion and Nippon Shinyaku signed a licensing agreement, under which Actelion will be responsible for the global development and commercialization of selexipag outside Japan, and the two companies will co-develop and co-commercialize the drug in Japan.

ABOUT THE ACTELION / NIPPON SHINYAKU ALLIANCE
Actelion and Nippon Shinyaku entered into an exclusive worldwide alliance in April 2008 to collaborate on selexipag, a first-in-class orally-available, selective IP receptor agonist for patients suffering from pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). This compound was originally discovered and synthesized by Nippon Shinyaku. Phase II evaluation has been completed, and a Phase III program in PAH patients has been initiated. Actelion is responsible for global development and commercialization of selexipag outside Japan, while the two companies will co-develop and co-commercialize in Japan. Nippon Shinyaku will receive milestone payments based on development stage and sales milestones as well as royalties on any sales of selexipag.

NS-304 (ACT-293987), an orally available long acting non-prostanoid prostaglandin I2 (PGI-2) receptor agonist, is in phase III clinical trials at Actelion for the oral treatment of pulmonary hypertension. Nippon Shinyaku is conducting phase III clinical trials with NS-304 for this indication in Europe. In Japan, phase II clinical trials are ongoing for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
Originally discovered and synthesized by Nippon Shinyaku, NS-304 stimulates PGI-2 receptors in blood vessels and exerts vasodilating effects.
In 2008, the compound was licensed to Actelion by Nippon Shinyaku on a worldwide basis with the exception of Japan for the oral treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). According to the final licensing agreement, Actelion will be responsible for global development and commercialization of NS-304 outside Japan, while the two companies will codevelop and co-commercialize the product candidate in Japan. In 2005, orphan drug designation was assigned in the E.U. by Nippon Shinyaku for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.

2a isthe drug
N-Acylsulfonamide and N-acylsulfonylurea derivatives of the carboxylic acid prostacyclin receptor agonist 1 were synthesized and their potential as prodrug forms of the carboxylic acid was evaluated in vitro and in vivo. These compounds were converted to the active compound 1 by hepatic microsomes from rats, dogs, monkeys, and humans, and some of the compounds were shown to yield sustained plasma concentrations of 1 when they were orally administered to monkeys. These types of analogues, including NS-304 (2a), are potentially useful prodrugs of 1.

ABOUT SELEXIPAG
Selexipag, originally discovered and synthesized by Nippon Shinyaku, is a potent, orally available, selective prostacyclin IP receptor agonist.
Selexipag selectively targets the prostacyclin receptor (also called IP-receptor). The IP receptor is one of 5 types of prostanoid receptor. Prostacyclin activates the IP receptor inducing vasodilation and inhibiting proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells. Selexipag, unlike prostacyclin analogs, is selective for the IP receptor over other prostanoid receptors. In preclinical models selective IP receptor agonism has shown to maintain efficacy and reduce the risk of side effects mediated by activation of other prostanoid receptors, such as EP1 and EP3 receptors. [2,4,5]
Selexipag was previously evaluated in a Phase II, 43-patient, placebo-controlled, double-blind study, where patients were randomized in a 3:1 ratio receiving selexipag or placebo on top of PDE-5 inhibitor and/or ERA [6]

Provectus Phase III Melanoma Trial Results Earlier Than Planned?
Rose Bengal disodium

The FDA has granted PV-10 Orphan Drug Status for the treatment of highly lethal metastatic melanoma and metastatic liver cancer. It has a successful and expanding Compassionate Use Program in operation and successfully completed trials on metastatic cancer of the breast, liver and melanoma, with positive results in all three. Positive effects in this context is that, if you inject PV-10 into a solid tumor, it kills cancer cells, usually within a week and doesn’t harm normal tissue. Many injected tumors actually disappear while others shrink and stop growing. The dual action of the drug is that the destruction of the cancer by direct injection of PV-10 serves to sensitize the patient’s immune system to seek out and kill similar cancer throughout the body. There is convincing evidence that untreated cancer distant from the treated cancer is attacked by the patient’s immune system after treatment.
PROVECTUS COMPANY OVERVIEW
Provectus (PVCT) is a clinical stage bio-pharmaceutical drug development company. There are 3 key scientific managers running the business along with the CFO, who is also the Chief Operating Officer. They preside over a stable of expert and specialized consultants. The company has two lead drug candidates: PH-10 for significant, often severe, and common skin disorders and PV-10, a dual action, local ablation and immunological anti-cancer drug. PH-10 is currently the subject of post-Phase II trial research into mode of action. PV-10 has successfully completed Phase II trials for malignant melanoma, is currently the subject of independent research on mode of actioRose Bengal disodium is in early clinical trials at Provectus for the topical treatment of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. An intralesional injectable formulation is also in early clinical development as breast cancer, liver cancer and melanoma therapy. Development for the treatment of actinic keratosis had been ongoing; however, no recent development for this indication has been reported. The company is seeking approval in the U.S. to begin clinical evaluation of this formulation for the treatment of liver and prostate cancer. A compassionate use program is under way for Rose Bengal disodium for the treatment of non-visceral cancers.
The drug’s mechanism of action is believed to be characterized by the creation of free radicals upon activation, which eliminate diseased cells. The compound concentrates in tumors at cytotoxic levels while quickly dissipating from healthy tissue. Simultaneously, the drug triggers an immune response that can eliminate metastatic tumor tissue.
In 2007, orphan drug designation was assigned to Rose Bengal disodium by the FDA for the treatment of metastatic melanoma. This designation was also assigned to the compound in the U.S. in 2011 for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.n and efficacy in conjunction with radiation, and it will have a Phase III pivotal trial starting shortly.
SUMMARY
1. If PV-10 and the Chemotherapies act as the prior data indicate, an NDA for melanoma may be submitted by Provectus in the first half of 2015.
2. If this occurs, the FDA denial of the Breakthrough Therapy designation will not have slowed PV-10’s progress to commercialization.
3. Given the relative safety and efficacy of the different drugs, if the trial is not stopped very early for humanitarian reasons, the planned Interim Analysis is likely to result in the cancellation of the trial, prior to the end of 2015.
4. Given PV-10’s superior safety and lack of significant side effects, if it is only as good as Chemotherapy, it will deserve FDA approval.
The Phase III pivotal trial will demonstrate the safety and efficacy of PV-10 to the market and to prospective acquirers a lot earlier than many have presumed.
Rose bengal (4,5,6,7-tetrachloro-2′,4′,5′,7′-tetraiodofluorescein) is a stain. Its sodium salt is commonly used in eye drops to stain damaged conjunctival and corneal cells and thereby identify damage to the eye. The stain is also used in the preparation of Foraminifera for microscopic analysis, allowing the distinction between forms that were alive or dead at the time of collection.
A form of Rose Bengal is also being studied as a treatment for certain cancers and skin conditions. The cancer formulation of the drug, known as PV-10, is currently undergoing clinical trials for melanoma and breast cancer. The company also has formulated a drug based on Rose Bengal for the treatment of eczema and psoriasis; this drug, PH-10, is currently in clinical trials as well.

Rose Bengal is also used in synthetic chemistry to generate singlet oxygen from triplet oxygen. The singlet oxygen can then undergo a variety of useful reactions, particularly [2 + 2] cycloadditions with alkenes and similar systems.
Rose Bengal can be used to form many derivatives that have important medical functions. One such derivative was created so to be sonosensative but photoinsensative, so that with a high intensity focused ultrasound, it could be used in the treatment of cancer. The derivative was formed by amidation of Rose Bengal, which turned off the fluorescent and photosensitive properties of Rose Bengal, leading to a usable compound, named in the study as RB2.[1]
Salts of Rose Bengal can also be formed, with the molecular formula C20 H4 Cl4 I4 O5 . 2 Na, molecular weight of 1017.64 g/mol and CAS # 632-69-9. Known as Rose Bengal Sodium Salt, this compound has its own unique uses and properties, but also functions as a dye.[2]
Biological applications
PV-10 was found to cause an observable response in 60 percent of tumors treated, according to researchers in a phase II melanoma study. Locoregional disease control was observed in 75 percent of patients. Also confirmed was a “bystander effect”, previously observed in the phase I trial, whereby untreated lesions responded to treatment as well, potentially due to immune system response. These data were based on the interim results of the first 40 patients treated in an 80 patient study.[3] Rose Bengal has been shown to not just prevent the growth and spread of ovarian cancer, but also to cause apoptotic cell death of the cancer cells. This has been proven in vitro, in order to prove that Rose Bengal is still a possible option in the treatment of cancer, and further research should be done.[4]
Rose Bengal is also used in animal models of ischemic stroke (photothrombotic stroke models) in biomedical research. A bolus of the compound is injected into the venous system. Then the region of interest (e.g., the cerebral cortex) is exposed and illuminated by LASER light of 561 nm. A thrombus is formed in the illuminated blood vessels, causing a stroke in the dependent brain tissue.[5][6]
Rose bengal has been used for 50 years to diagnose liver and eye cancer. It has also been used as an insecticide.[7][8]
Rose Bengal is able to stain cells whenever the surface epithelium is not being properly protected by the preocular tear film, because Rose Bengal has been proven to not be able to stain cells because of the protective functioning of these preocular tear films.[9] This is why Rose Bengal is often useful as a stain in diagnosing certain medical issues, such as conjunctival and lid disorders.[10]
Rose Bengal has been used for ocular surface staining to study the efficacy of punctal plugs in the treatment of keratoconjunctivitis sicca. [11]
Rose Bengal is being researched as an agent in creating nano sutures.[12] Wounds are painted on both sides with it and then illuminated with an intense light. This links the tiny collagen fibers together sealing the wound.[13][14][15] Healing is faster and the seal reduces chances of infection.[16][17]
Rose Bengal is used in several microbiological media, including Cooke’s Rose Bengal agar, to suppress bacterial growth.
Rose Bengal has been used as a protoplasm stain to discriminate between living and dead micro-organisms, particularly Foraminifera, since the 1950s when Bill Walton developed the technique.[18]
Electronic applications
Rose Bengal demonstrates at least six distinct electronic properties[19] which are otherwise hidden in the molecule. Rose Bengal is a double planar molecule and relative rotation of the planes generate unique electronics. Therefore, Rose Bengal is a suitable candidate for molecular electronics.
History
Rose Bengal was originally prepared in 1884 by Gnehm, as an analogue of fluorescein.[20] The name is due to its similarity to alta, a dye that women in Bengal have used for centuries to colour their feet red during weddings and festivals.
