SILICO LINEZOLID, SILINEZOLID, NDS 10024
Therapeutic options for brain infections caused by pathogens with a reduced sensitivity to drugs are limited. Recent reports on the potential use of linezolid in treating brain infections prompted us to design novel compounds around this scaffold. Herein, we describe the design and synthesis of various oxazolidinone antibiotics with the incorporation of silicon.
Our findings in preclinical species suggest that silicon incorporation is highly useful in improving brain exposures. Interestingly, three compounds from this series demonstrated up to a 30-fold higher brain/plasma ratio when compared to linezolid thereby indicating their therapeutic potential in brain associated disorders
Design, Synthesis, and Identification of Silicon Incorporated Oxazolidinone Antibiotics with Improved Brain Exposure

CDK Inhibitor, MK 7965, DINACICLIB, SCH 727965

CDK Inhibitor, MK 7965, DINACICLIB, SCH 727965
REVIEW…….http://www.mdpi.com/2072-6694/6/4/2224/htm
One of the most popular CDK inhibitor in clinical trials in the recent years was dinaciclib (MK-7965, SCH 727965) (Figure 3), the inhibitor of CDK1, CDK2, CDK5, and CDK9. A Phase I trial on the effect of dinaciclib in combination with aprepitant was performed in patients with advanced malignancies [44]. Aprepitant is used for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, is known as an inhibitor and inducer of CYP3A4, which metabolizes dinaciclib.
Coadministration of dinaciclib with aprepitant resulted in no clinically significant effect on the pharmacokinetics and did not alter the safety profile of dinaciclib. The first Phase I clinical trial on dinaciclib as a single agent was performed on patients with advanced malignancies [68]. Forty-eight patients with various solid tumors were treated and 10 of them achieved prolonged stable disease for at least four treatment cycles. Adverse effects were mild, the most common being nausea, anemia, decreased appetite and fatigue.
A phase II multi-center study of dinaciclib for relapsed and/or refractory AML was performed on 20 patients [69]. Temporary decrease in peripheral blood and/or bone marrow blasts was observed in 60% of patients. Four of 13 (31%) patients with circulating blasts had >50% decrease and 6 (46%) >80% decrease in the absolute blast count within 1–8 days of the first dinaciclib dose. Toxicities included diarrhea, fatigue, transaminitis, and manifestations of tumor lysis syndrome, with one patient who deceased of acute renal failure. Another Phase II study was performed of dinaciclib versus erlotinib in patients with non-small cell lung cancer [70].
Unfortunately, it was found that dinaciclib was not successful as monotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer. Most common toxicities included neutropenia, leukopenia, vomiting, and diarrhea. Yet another Phase II study was performed on dinaciclib versus capecitabine in patients with advanced breast cancer [71]. Dinaciclib treatment demonstrated antitumor activity in two of seven patients with ER-positive and ERBB 2-negative metastatic breast cancer, however efficacy was not superior to capecitabine (p = 0.991).
Toxicities included neutropenia, leukopenia, increase in aspartate aminotransferase, and febrile neutropenia. Phase I nonrandomized dose-escalation trial was performed, where patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia were treated with dinaciclib and rituximab [72]. Four out of six patients achieved stable disease, and one patient achieved complete response. Drug-related adverse events were mostly hematological, digestive and metabolic and no dose-limiting toxicities were observed. Dinaciclib was also moved into Phase III development for refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia [73]. Phase I/II clinical trial Dinaciclib in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma showed promise as single agent [74]. The overall confirmed response rate was 3 of 27 (11%). Adverse effects included leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, gastrointestinal symptoms, alopecia, and fatigue. –

One example of these inhibitors is the compound of Formula II.
The synthesis of the compound of Formula II is described in the ‘878 publication according to Scheme II:
Scheme II:
Step 1—Amidization to Form Substituted Pyrazole
http://www.google.com.tr/patents/US8076479
Step 2—Formation and Dehalogenation of pyrazolo[1,5a]pyrimidine
Step 3—Amination (Two Separate, Sequential Reactions)
As described in the ‘878 publication, Synthetic Scheme II leading to the compound of Formula II has several disadvantages from the standpoint of commercial scale synthesis. In step 1, the starting material (compound “C”) used in the formation of compound “D” is a sticky, viscous oil which is difficult to process (weigh, transfer, and blend). Moreover, step 1, as described in the ‘878 publication, requires isolation and chromatographic purification of compounds C and D prior to carrying out each subsequent derivatization reaction. In addition, as described in the ‘878 publication, the reaction of compound C with malonate diester is carried out using the diester as a solvent. After isolation and purification of the resultant malonate adduct, compound D, ring closure to form diketone compound E is carried out in methanol. In accordance with the procedure described in the ‘878 publication, compound E is isolated and dried, then converted to the corresponding dichloride in N,N-dimethyl aniline by treatment with phosphorous oxychloride (POCl3). The dichloride thus formed was isolated and purified by chromatography prior to the sequential amination reactions. Additionally, the compounds of Formula G and of Formula II require chromatography purification and isolations, as described in the ‘878 publication.
As further described in the ‘878 publication, each of the amination reactions were run separately with isolation and chromatographic purification between amination reactions. Accordingly, the ‘878 publication describes the preparation of the compound of Formula II utilizing a scheme consisting of five separate reaction steps with intervening isolation and purification of the products, each sequential step being carried out in a different solvent system. The overall yield of the compound of Formula II reported for this synthesis, based on starting compound C (Scheme II) is about 20%.
Example 1Preparation of Diketone Compound E (Scheme VI) 3-Ethylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-5,7(4H,6H)-dione
To a 250 ml, three-necked flask equipped with a thermometer, a reflux condenser and mechanical stirrer was charged 3-amino-4-ethylpyrazole oxalate (10 g, 50 mmole), dimethylmalonate (10 ml, 88 mmole), methyl alcohol (80 ml) and sodium methoxide (50 ml, 245 mmole, 25% in methyl alcohol). The batch was heated at reflux for 16 hours then cooled to room temperature. Celite (5 g) and water (60 ml) were added to the batch and agitated for 10 minutes. The batch was filtered to remove the solid residue. The filtrate was pH adjusted to pH˜3 with aqueous HCl (10 ml) to effect precipitation. The precipitate (compound “E”) was filtered and washed with water (40 ml). The wet cake was dried for 18 hours in vacuum oven maintained in the range of oven at 45° C. to 55° C., to give a solid product (84.3%, 7.5 g). C8H9N3O3, Mp: 200-205° C.; NMR in DMSO-d6: 1.05 (t, 3H), 2.23 (q, 2H), 3.26 (bs, 1H), 3.89 (bs, 1H), 7.61 (s, 1H), 11.50(bs, 1H).
Example 2Preparation of Dichloride Compound F (Scheme VI) 5,7-Dichloro-3-Ethylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine
Into a 3-neck flask fitted with an inert gas inlet, a reflux condenser and a mechanical stirring apparatus and containing 83 liters of acetonitrile was placed 3-Ethylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-5,7(4H,6H)-dione (E) prepared as described in Step 1 (11.0 kg, 61.5 mole), N,N-dimethylaniline (8.0 L, 63 mole) and POCl3 (7 kg, 430 mole). With stirring the mixture was brought to reflux and maintained under refluxing conditions for 15 hours. The reaction mixture was sampled periodically to monitor the amount of compound “E” present. After the conversion was complete, the solution was cooled to 15° C. Into the cooled reaction mixture was added water which had been cooled to a temperature of less than 20° C. The product is filtered and washed with 4 aliquots of acetonitrile-water (1:3) which had been cooled to a temperature of 20° C. followed by a wash with 10× water. The wet cake is dried in a vacuum oven maintained at 40° C. for at least 15 hours to yield the compound “F” (86.7%); 1H NMR (CDCl3): 1.32(t, 3H), 2.81 (q, 2H), 6.92 (s, 1H), 8.10 (s, 1H)

Preparation of the Compound of Formula II (Scheme VI) 1-[3-Ethyl-7-[(1-oxido-3-pyridinyl)methyl]amino]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5-yl]-2(s)-piperidinemethanol
Into a three-neck flask fitted with a mechanical stirrer and a reflux condenser were placed the first amine adduct prepared in Step 3, compound “G”, (7 kg, 23 mole), amino-alcohol compound G1a (5.6 kg, 43.3 mole), sodium carbonate (3.5 kg, 33.0 mole), 110 ml of water and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP) (11 L). The reaction mixture was heated to 150° C. for 4 days. After chromatography indicated that the reaction was complete (90-95% substrate consumed), the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and quenched by adding water. The mixture was then extracted with ethyl acetate. The batch was dried by distillation of the water azeotrope under atmospheric pressure and concentrated to about 28 L volume. THF was added and the solution was heated to reflux until all the solids dissolve. Ethyl acetate and trietylamine are added to the hot solution. The batch was cooled to ambient and then agitated with the temperature maintained in the range of from 20° C. to 25° C. for 12 hours. The solids were collected by filtration, washed first with ethyl acetate then water, and dried in the filter under vacuum for 24 hours with the temperature maintained at from 40° C. to 50° C., yielding 4.9 kg, 51.3% of the compound of Formula II.

A Novel and Practical Synthesis of Ramelteon

An efficient and practical process for the synthesis of ramelteon 1, a sedative-hypnotic, is described. Highlights in this synthesis are the usage of acetonitrile as nucleophilic reagent to add to 4,5-dibromo-1,2,6,7-tetrahydro-8H-indeno[5,4-b]furan-8-one 2 and the subsequent hydrogenation which successfully implement four processes (debromination, dehydration, olefin reduction, and cyano reduction) into one step to produce the ethylamine compound 13where dibenzoyl-l-tartaric acid is selected both as an acid to form the salt in the end of hydrogenation and as the resolution agent. Then, target compound 1 is easily obtained from13 via propionylation. The overall yield in this novel and concise process is almost twice as much as those in the known routes, calculated on compound 2.
