Imatinib (INN), marketed by Novartis as Gleevec (Canada, South Africa and the USA) or Glivec (Australia, Europe and Latin America), and sometimes referred to by its investigational name STI-571, is a tyrosine-kinase inhibitor used in the treatment of multiple cancers, most notably Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML).[1]

Like all tyrosine-kinase inhibitors, imatinib works by preventing a tyrosine kinase enzyme, in this case BCR-Abl, fromphosphorylating subsequent proteins and initiating the signalling cascade necessary for cancer growth and survival, thus preventing the growth of cancer cells and leading to their death by apoptosis.[2] Because the BCR-Abl tyrosine kinase enzyme exists only in cancer cells and not in healthy cells, imatinib works as a form of targeted therapy—only cancer cells are killed through the drug’s action.[3] In this regard, imatinib was one of the first cancer therapies to show the potential for such targeted action, and is often cited as a paradigm for research in cancer therapeutics.[4]

Imatinib has been cited as the first of the exceptionally expensive cancer drugs, costing $92,000 a year. Doctors and patients complain that this is excessive, given that its development costs have been recovered many times over, and that the costs of synthesizing the drug are orders of magnitude lower. In the USA, the patent protecting the active principle will expire on 4 January 2015 while the patent protecting the beta crystal form of the active principal ingredient will expire on 23 May 2019.[5]

The developers of imatinib were awarded the Lasker Award in 2009 and the Japan Prize in 2012.[6][7]

Medical uses

Imatinib is used to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and a number of othermalignancies.

Chronic myelogenous leukemia

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved imatinib as first-line treatment for Philadelphia chromosome-positive CML, both in adults and children. The drug is approved in multiple Philadelphia chromosome-positive cases of CML, including after stem cell transplant, in blast crisis, and newly diagnosed.[8]

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors

The FDA first granted approval for advanced GIST patients in 2002. On 1 February 2012, imatinib was approved for use after the surgical removal of KIT-positive tumors to help prevent recurrence.[9] The drug is also approved in unresectable KIT-positive GISTs.[8]

Other

The FDA has approved imatinib for use in adult patients with relapsed or refractory Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL), myelodysplastic/ myeloproliferative diseases associated with platelet-derived growth factor receptor gene rearrangements, aggressive systemic mastocytosis without or an unknown D816V c-KIT mutation, hypereosinophilic syndrome and/or chronic eosinophilic leukemia who have the FIP1L1-PDGFRα fusion kinase (CHIC2 allele deletion) or FIP1L1-PDGFRα fusion kinase negative or unknown, unresectable, recurrent and/or metastaticdermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.[8] On 25 January 2013, Gleevec was approved for use in children with Ph+ ALL.[10]

For treatment of progressive plexiform neurofibromas associated with neurofibromatosis type I, early research has shown potential for using the c-KIT tyrosine kinase blocking properties of imatinib.[11][12][13][14]

Legal challenge to generics

In 2007, imatinib became a test case through which Novartis challenged India’s patent laws. A win for Novartis would make it harder for Indian companies to produce generic versions of drugs still manufactured under patent elsewhere in the world. Doctors Without Borders argues a change in law would make it impossible for Indian companies to produce cheap generic antiretrovirals (anti-HIV medication), thus making it impossible for Third World countries to buy these essential medicines.[43] On 6 August 2007, the Madras High Court dismissed the writ petition filed by Novartis challenging the constitutionality of Section 3(d) of Indian Patent Act, and deferred to the World Trade Organization (WTO) forum to resolve the TRIPS compliance question. As of 2009 India has refused to grant patent exclusivity..

On April 01, 2013 Supreme Court of India dismissed the plea of Novartis for the grant of patent.

Imatinib is a 2-phenyl amino pyrimidine derivative that functions as a specific inhibitor of a number of tyrosine kinase enzymes. It occupies the TK active site, leading to a decrease in activity.

There are a large number of TK enzymes in the body, including the insulin receptor. Imatinib is specific for the TK domain inabl(the Abelson proto-oncogene), c-kit and PDGF-R (platelet-derived growth factorreceptor).

In chronic myelogenous leukemia, the Philadelphia chromosome leads to a fusion protein of abl with bcr(breakpoint cluster region), termed bcr-abl. As this is now aconstitutively active tyrosine kinase, imatinib is used to decrease bcr-abl activity.

The active sites of tyrosine kinases each have a binding site for ATP. The enzymatic activity catalyzed by a tyrosine kinase is the transfer of the terminal phosphate from ATP to tyrosine residues on its substrates, a process known as protein tyrosinephosphorylation. Imatinib works by binding close to the ATP binding site of bcr-abl, locking it in a closed or self-inhibited conformation, and therefore inhibiting the enzyme activity of the protein semi-competitively.[32] This fact explains why many BCR-ABL mutations can cause resistance to imatinib by shifting its equilibrium toward the open or active conformation.[33]

Imatinib is quite selective for bcr-abl – it does also inhibit other targets mentioned above (c-kit and PDGF-R), but no other knowntyrosine kinases. Imatinib also inhibits the abl protein of non-cancer cells but cells normally have additional redundant tyrosine kinases which allow them to continue to function even if abl tyrosine kinase is inhibited. Some tumor cells, however, have a dependence on bcr-abl.[34] Inhibition of the bcr-abl tyrosine kinase also stimulates its entry in to the nucleus, where it is unable to perform any of its normal anti-apoptopic functions.[35]

The Bcr-Abl pathway has many downstream pathways including the Ras/MapK pathway, which leads to increased proliferation due to increased growth factor-independent cell growth. It also affects the Src/Pax/Fak/Rac pathway. This affects the cytoskeleton, which leads to increased cell motility and decreased adhesion. The PI/PI3K/AKT/BCL-2 pathway is also affected. BCL-2 is responsible for keeping the mitochondria stable; this suppresses cell death by apoptosis and increases survival. The last pathway that Bcr-Abl affects is the JAK/STAT pathway, which is responsible for proliferation.[36]

synthesis

…………………………

Imatinib is known as an inhibitor of protein-tyrosine kinase and is indicated for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Imatinib also has potential for the treatment of various other cancers that express these kinase including acute lymphocyte leukemia and certain solid tumors. It can also be used for the treatment of atherosclerosis, thrombosis, restenosis, or fibrosis. Thus, imatinib can also be used for the treatment of non-malignant diseases. Imatinib is usually administered orally in the form of a suitable salt, e.g., in the form of imatinib mesylate.

The chemical name of Imatinib is 4-(4-methyl piperazine -1- methyl) -N-4-methyl-3-[4- (3- pyridyl) pyrimidine-2-amino] – benzamide and is represented by the following structural formula:

Figure imgf000003_0001

(Imatinib)

Imatinib Mesylate is an inhibitor of signal transduction (STI571) invented by Novartis AG after 7 years of hard work; it is the first inhibitor of cancer signal transduction ratified in the whole world. It is sold by Novartis as Gleevec capsules containing imatinib mesylate in amounts equivalent to 100 mg or 400 mg of imatinib free base.

Imatinib Mesylate is the rare drug in America, European Union and Japan. In May 10, 2001, it was ratified by American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat the chronic myelogenous leukemia patients. EP0564409 (US5521 184) describes the process for the preparation of imatinib and the use thereof, especially as an anti tumour agent.

There are generally two synthetic routes for synthesis of Imatinib, suitable for the industrial production. One synthetic process as described in scheme-I comprises using 2-methyl-5-nitroaniline as the raw material which is reacted with cyanamide to obtain guanidine; cyclization reaction with 3-dimethylamino-l-(3-pyridyl)-2-propylene-l- ketone; reduction step of nitro to amine and condensation reaction with 4- (Chloromethyl)benzoyl chloride and N-methylpiperazidine to obtain Imatinib (WO 2004/108669). -I

Figure imgf000004_0001

Scheme-2 describes the successful process for the synthesis of Imatinib using 4-methyl-3- nitroanilines as the raw material, comprising reacting 4-methyl-3-nitroanilines with 4- (Chloromethyl)benzoyl chloride and N-methyl piperazidine in turns; followed by reduction of nitro group to amino group; then reaction with cyanamide to obtain guanidine; finally cyclization reaction with 3- dimethyl amino- 1 -(3- pyridyl)-2- propylene-1 -ketone to obtain Imatinib (WO 03/066613). The said PCT application discloses the use of 4-4-(methyl piperazin-l-ylmethyl)-benzoic acid methyl ester as one of the raw material but rest of the reactants are different from that of N-(5-amino -2- methylphenyl)-4-(3-pyridyl)-2-pyrimidine amine in presence of trimethyl aluminium.

Scheme-2

Figure imgf000005_0001

Common feature of the processes for preparing imatinib according to (WO 2004/108669) and (WO03/066613) lies in use of cyanamide as a reagent. The main difference between the two routes is that the reaction sequence of cyclization of pyrimidine chain is different. Example 10 of PCT International Publication no. WO 2003/066613 is less applicable to industrial purposes. These include the reaction between N-(3-bromo-4-methyl-phenyl)-4- (4-methyl-piperazin-l -ylmethyl)-benzamide and 4-(3-pyridyl)-2-pyrimidineamine which uses a mixture of rac-BINAP (a phosphine oxide catalyst) and Pd2 (dba)3*CHCl3. These catalysts are very expensive, therefore, their use is unfit for commercial production.

CN1630648A describes a process comprising reaction of 3- bromine-4- methyl aniline with 4-(4-methyl-piperazin- methyl) methyl benzoate in presence of trimethyl-Aluminum to obtain N-(4-methyl-3-bromobenzene)-4-(4-methyl-piperazin- 1 -methyl)-benzamide, which further reacts with 2-amino-4-(3-pyridyl)- pyrimidine in presence of palladium as catalyst to obtain Imatinib.

Figure imgf000006_0001
Figure imgf000006_0002

The drawback of the above process is the use of trimethyl-Aluminum, which is flammable and reacts severely when comes in contact with water.

CN101016293A describes another process using N-(4-methyl-3-3- aminophenyl)-4-(4- methyl-piperazin-1 -methyl)- benzamide as the raw material. The said raw material is reacted with 2-halogen-4-(3-pyridyl)- pyrimidine to obtain Imatinib.

Figure imgf000006_0003

The process disclosed in CN 101016293 A comprises use of halogenated agent, such as phosphorus oxychloride, which is used to synthesize 2-halogeno-4- methyl- (3-pyridyl) – pyridine is lachrymator and corrosive and has great influence to the surroundings. EP0564409 describes a coupling reaction between N-(5-amino -2-methylphenyl)-4-(3- pyridyl)-2-pyrimidine amine and 4-(4-methyl piperazin-l-ylmethyl)-benzoyl chloride in the presence of high quantity of pyridine to starting reactant amine N-(5-amino -2- methylphenyl)-4-(3-pyridyl)-2-pyrimidine amine. The ratio of the pyridine to the said reactant is 138 which is equivalent to about 40 parts v/w. Use of such a large quantity of pyridine is unsafe as it is a toxic solvent according to ICH guidelines. The workup of the reaction comprises evaporation of the remaining pyridine and further processing, which finally involves chromatography for purification, which is highly undesirable on industrial scale because it is expensive and time consuming.

Figure imgf000007_0001

US2006/0149061 and US20060223817 also discloses a similar synthetic approach comprising the use of similar pyridine /starting amine ratio (140 equivalents which is equals about 41 parts v/w). The product obtained is purified by slurring in ethyl acetate.

WO2004/074502 describes a coupling reaction between N-(5-amino -2-methylphenyl)-4- (3-pyridyl)-2-pyrimidine amine and 4-(4-methyl piperazin-l-ylmethyl)-benzoyl chloride wherein solvent like dimethyl pharmamide , dimethyl acetamide, N-methyl pyrilidinone are used as solvents instead of pyridine. However the method described in this patent application lacks an advantage in that the coupling reaction produces the hydrohalide salt of imatinib, e.g. imatinib trihydrochloride monohydrate, which has to be treated with a base in order to afford the imatinib base, thus an extra step is required. Further, conventional methods for coupling N-(5-amino -2-methylphenyl)-4-(3-pyridyl)-2- pyrimidine amine require reaction with an acid halide, e.g. 4-(4-methyl piperazin-1- ylmethyl)-benzoyl chloride, which requires an additional production step that can involve harsh and/or toxic chlorinating agent.

Figure imgf000008_0001

WO2008/1 17298 describes a coupling reaction between N-(5-amino -2-methylphenyl)-4- (3-pyridyl)-2-pyrimidine amine and 4-(4-methyl piperazin-l-ylmethyl)-benzoyl chloride in presence of a base selected from potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium or sodium hydroxide. Use of potassium carbonate as base results into the formation of Imatinib dihydrochloride which ultimately requires an additional operation of neutralization by using excessive base to get imatinib.

Figure imgf000008_0002

WO2008/136010 describes a coupling reaction between N-(5-amino -2-methylphenyl)-4- (3-pyridyl)-2-pyrimidine amine and 4-(4-methyl piperazin-l-ylmethyl)-benzoyl chloride in presence of base potassium hydroxide resulting into 78.6% yield of crude imatinib base. Preparation of crude requires imatinib hydrochloride preparation during the workup which is then basified to get base in crude form. This also describes maleate salt preparation as mode of purification which is again basified to give pure Imatinib base.

Figure imgf000009_0001

US patent application 2004/0248918 discloses a different approach using N-(5-amino -2- methylphenyl)-4-(3-pyridyl)-2-pyrimidine amine and 4-(2-chloromethyl)-benzoyl chloride as raw material. The reaction for the preparation of Imatinib is carried out in tetrahydrofuran as a reaction solvent and in the presence of pyridine as a base. However the method described in this patent application lacks an advantage as purification of the product requires column chromatography using chloroform: methanol (3: 1 v/v), which is not suitable purification method when performing the reaction on large scale, followed by crystallizati

Figure imgf000009_0002

US patent application 2008/0103305 discloses a process comprising reacting N-(5-amino -2-methylphenyl)-4-(3-pyridyl)-2-pyrimidine amine or its alkyl derivative and an acid salt of 4-[(4-methyl-l-piperazinyl)-methyl] benzoyl derivative as given below in the scheme-3 using pyridine in an amount of about 2 to 10 volumes per gram of the said amine. However the drawback associated with this process is use of pyridine especially when reaction is performed on large scale. -3

Organic Process Research & Development, 12(3), 490-495. DOI: 10.1021/op700270nAs an example of research aimed at industrial production one involving imatinib. This cancer drug was one of the first offspring of rational drug design and if you believe the Wikipedia page hugely expensive despite its simple appearance (no stereocenters!). A group of Northwest University researchers set out to improve the existing Novartis procedure DOI and here is how they did it.

2-acetylpyridine (1) was alkylated with the acetal of N,N-dimethylformamide 2 to enamine 3. A pyrimidine ring in 5was formed with base and reagent guanidine nitrate 4 and nitrotoluene fragment 6 was added in a Ullmann-type reaction with CuI generating secondary amine 7. The nitro group was reduced by hydrazine / FeCl3/C to the amine which was then converted to amide 8 with acid chloride 9. The final step is addition of piperazine 10 to form imatinib11.So is this procedure an improvement on the existing method and ready-made for industrial implementation? Surely they have eradicated the use of toxic cyanamide, cumbersome sodium metal and expensive palladium but they have also introduced equally toxic hydrazine and the harmful and explosive guanidine nitrate. As a further point of criticism the final step is demonstrated on a 0.5 gram scale. If the journal Organic Process Research & Development would live up to its standards the scale would at least be a kilogram.Liu, Y., Wang, C., Bai, Y., Han, N., Jiao, J., Qi, X. (2008).

Angelo Carotti and his group from University of Bari have developed a solid-phase synthesis of Imatinib which acts as a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor (Tetrahedron Lett. 2007, 48, 3455. DOI: 10.1016/j.tetlet.2007.03.033). By applying microwave heating in five steps of the synthesis (preparation of linker 1, nucleophilic substitution, reduction of the nitro group, formation of guanidine and final cyclization) the total process could be accelerated. Key steps were the guanylation of aniline 2 where a higher yield and purity of product 3 could be obtained under microwave irradiation, and the final cyclization to resin bound Imatinib where the reaction time could be reduced from 20 h to 50 min. Addiotionally, resin stability was ensured due to the shorter reaction time.

In order to prepare the core heterocyclic unit a direct condensation between a 1,3-dicarbonyl compound 3.39 and an amidine or guanidine 3.40 is frequently employed (Scheme 36a). Alternatively, an amidine can be condensed with a vinylogous amide 3.41 resulting in the direct formation of 2,4-disubstituted pyrimidines. These condensations often require relatively harsh reaction conditions despite this they are of great value as they involve cheap or easily accessible materials and typically only form water as the principle byproduct.

A modification of the above pyrimidine synthesis has been applied in the generation of imatinib (3.36, Gleevec) which is Novartis’ tyrosine kinase inhibitor used for the treatment of chronic myeloic leukaemia. In a patented route the aldol product 3.47 undergoes a condensation reaction with guanidine 3.48 in basic media to give the 2-aminopyrimidine 3.49 (Scheme 37) [93]. After generating the functional pyrimidine core a hydrazine-mediated reduction of the nitro group in the side chain was conducted with Raney-Nickel as the catalyst. Amide formation with 4-chloromethylbenzoyl chloride (3.50) and a direct displacement of the benzylic chloride with N-methylpiperazine (1.118) complete this synthesis of imatinib in excellent overall yields.

Scheme 37: Synthesis of imatinib.

One noteworthy feature of this imatinib synthesis is that it is specifically designed for facile isolation of intermediates by precipitation due to their limited solubility in non-polar solvents [94]. Whilst this process was efficient in enabling the isolation of pure material after each step, it does not encourage telescoping of steps, which would in principal increase the overall efficiency of the process. Recently, similar approaches have been utilised in the academic environment using enabling techniques in a route to imatinib. For instance, our group has employed continuous flow synthesis methods to imatinib [95,96]. The route not only afforded imatinib but led to many previously inaccessible derivatives in an automated fashion within a single working day (Scheme 38). In addition, this particular sequence showcases the uses of scavenger resins for in-line purification as the synthesis progresses and features the use of a Buchwald–Hartwig amination in a late stage fragment coupling. While it was sufficient to access only small amounts of these structures (around 50 mg), these techniques are currently being adopted by several major pharmaceutical companies in order to enhance drug development and even manufacturing sequences.

Protein kinases catalyze the phosphorylation of serine, threonine, tyrosine and histidine residues in proteins. Aberrant regulation of kinase activity has been implicated in many diseases including cancer. Thus development of new strategies for kinase inhibitor design remains an active area of research with direct relevance to drug development. Abelson (Abl)tyrosine kinase is one of the Src-family of tyrosine kinases and is directly implicated in Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML). In this article, we have, for the first time, developed an efficient method for the construction of small molecule-based bisubstrate inhibitors of Abl kinase using click chemistry. Subsequent biochemical screenings revealed a set of moderately potentinhibitors, a few of which have comparable potency to Imatinib (an FDA-approved drug for treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia) against Abl.

Medicine for Blood Cancer

‘Imitinef Mercilet’ is a medicine which cures blood cancer.

‘Imitinef Mercilet’ is apparently an alternative spelling of the drug Imatinib mesylate which is used in the treatment of some forms of leukemia along with other types of cancer. Imatinib, often referred to a “Gleevec”, has proved to be an effective treatment for some forms of cancers. However, “blood cancer” is a generalized term for cancers that affect the blood, lymphatic system or bone marrow. The three types of blood cancer are listed as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. These three malignancies require quite different kinds of treatments. While drugs (including Imatinib), along with other treatments such as radiation can help to slow or even stop the progress of these cancers, there is currently no single drug treatment that can be said to actually cure all such cancers.

Imatinib is a small molecule selectively inhibiting specific tyrosine kinases that has emerged recently as a valuable treatment for patients with advanced GIST. The use of imatinib as monotherapy for the treatment of GIST has been described in PCT publication WO 02/34727, which is here incorporated by reference. However, it has been reported that primary resistance to imatinib is present in a population of patients, for example 13.7% of patients in one study. In addition, a number of patients acquire resistance to treatment with imatinib. More generally this resistance is partial with progression in some lesions, but continuing disease control in other lesions. Hence, these patients remain on imatinib treatment but with a clear need for additional or alternative therapy.

Imatinib is 4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-ylmethyl)-N-[4-methyl-3-(4-pyridin-3-yl)pyrimidin-2-ylamino)phenyl]-benzamide having the formula I

The preparation of imatinib and the use thereof, especially as an anti-tumour agent, are described in Example 21 of European patent application EP-A-0 564 409, which was published on 6 Oct. 1993, and in equivalent applications and patents in numerous other countries, e.g. in U.S. Pat. No. 5,521,184 and in Japanese patent 2706682

flow synthesis

The flow-based route required minimal manual intervention and was achieved despite poor solubility of many reaction components

21 January 2013Michael Parkin

UK chemists have used a combination of flow chemistry methods with solid-supported scavengers and reagents to synthesise the active pharmaceutical ingredient, imatinib, of the anticancer drug Gleevec. The method avoids the need for any manual handling of intermediates and allows the drug to be synthesised in high purity in less than a day.

Gleevec, developed by Novartis, is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor used for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukaemia and gastrointestinal stromal tumours.

‘Wrapping’ Gleevec Fights Drug-Resistant Cancer, Study Shows

 http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/05/070501115127.htm

The anti-cancer drug Gleevec® is far more effective against a drug-resistant strain of cancer when the drug wraps the target with a molecular bandage that seals out water from a critical area.

A new study in Cancer Research finds that the anti-cancer drug Gleevec® is far more effective against a drug-resistant strain of cancer when the drug wraps the target with a molecular bandage that seals out water from a critical area.

FIG 23.8 Optimization of imatinib as a chemotherapeutic agent. The discovery that 2-phenylaminopyrimidine inhibitors of PKC also inhibit the unrelated v-Abl oncogene turned attention to its potential use in the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukaemia. Starting with the 2-phenylaminopyrimidine backbone, addition of the benzamidine group increased activity against tyrosine kinases, the methyl group reduced its activity against PKC (so-called ‘ target hopping ’ ). Addition of a 3’-pyridyl group improved the activity in cellular assays. Subsequent addition of N -methylpiperazine increased water solubility and oral bioavailability, enabling the drug to survive the stomach and to enter the bloodstream.

Infinity Pharmaceuticals has partnered with AbbVie to develop and commercialise its duvelisib (IPI-145), an oral inhibitor of phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)-delta and PI3K-gamma, to treat patients with cancer. 

 

Infinity Pharmaceuticals has partnered with AbbVie to develop and commercialise its duvelisib (IPI-145), an oral inhibitor of phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)-delta and PI3K gamma, to treat patients with cancer.

Duvelisib has shown clinical activity against different blood cancers, such as indolent non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (iNHL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

AbbVie executive vice-president and chief scientific officer Michael Severino said: “We believe that duvelisib is a very promising investigational treatment based on clinical data showing activity in a broad range of blood cancers.”

Duvelisib (IPI-145,  INK-1197), an inhibitor of PI3K-delta and –gamma, originated at Takeda subsidiary Intellikine. It is now being developed by Infinity Pharmaceuticals, which began a phase III trial in November, following US and EU grant of orphan drug status for both CLL and small lymphocytic leukemia

INK-1197 is a dual phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase delta (PI3Kdelta) and gamma (PI3Kgamma) inhibitor in phase III clinical development at Infinity Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma. The company is also carring phase II trials for the treatment of patients with mild asthma undergoing allergen challenge, for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and for the treatment of refractory indolent non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Phase I clinical trials for the treatment of advanced hematological malignancies (including T-cell lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma) are currently under way.
IPI-145 is an oral inhibitor of phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)-delta and PI3K-gamma. The PI3K-delta and PI3K-gamma isoforms are preferentially expressed in leukocytes (white blood cells), where they have distinct and non-overlapping roles in key cellular functions, including cell proliferation, cell differentiation, cell migration and immunity. Targeting PI3K-delta and PI3K-gamma may provide multiple opportunities to develop differentiated therapies for the treatment of blood cancers and inflammatory diseases.
Licensee Infinity Pharmaceuticals is developing INK-1197. In 2014, Infinity licensed Abbvie for joint commercialization in the U.S. and exclusive commercialization elsewhere. Originator Millennium Pharmaceuticals had also been developing the compound; however, no recent development has been reported for this research. In 2013, orphan drug designations were assigned by the FDA and the EMA for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, for the treatment of small lymphocytic lymphoma and for the treatment of follicular lymphoma.

currently enrolling patients DYNAMO™, a Phase 2 study designed to evaluate the activity and safety of IPI-145 in approximately 120 people with refractory indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL) and DUO™, a Phase 3 clinical study of IPI-145 in approximately 300 people with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). These studies are supported by Phase 1 data reported at the 2013 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting which showed that IPI-145 was well tolerated and clinically active in a broad range of malignancies, including iNHL and CLL. These studies are part of DUETTS™, a worldwide investigation of IPI-145 in blood cancers.

[00563] Compound 1 (6.00 kg) was treated with 1-hydroxybenzotriazole monohydrate (HOBt»H20), triethylamine, Ν,Ο-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride, and EDCI in dimethylacetamide (DMA) at

10 °C. The reaction was monitored by proton NMR and deemed complete after 2.6 hours, affording Compound 2 as a white solid in 95% yield. The R-enantiomer was not detected by proton NMR using (R)-(- ) -alpha-ace tylmandelic acid as a chiral-shift reagent.

[00564] Compound 3 (4.60 kg) was treated with p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate and 3,4-dihydro-2H- pyran (DHP) in ethyl acetate at 75 °C for 2.6 hours. The reaction was monitored by HPLC. Upon completion of the reaction, Compound 4 was obtained as a yellow solid in 80% yield with >99% (AUC) purity by HPLC analysis.

[00565] Compound 5 (3.30 kg) was treated with thionyl chloride and a catalytic amount of DMF in methylene chloride at 25 °C for five hours. The reaction was monitored by HPLC which indicated a 97.5% (AUC) conversion to compound 6. Compound 6 was treated in situ with aniline in methylene chloride at 25 °C for 15 hours. The reaction was monitored by HPLC and afforded Compound 7 as a brown solid in 81% yield with >99% (AUC) purity by HPLC analysis. [00566] Compound 2 was treated with 2.0 M isopropyl Grignard in THF at -20 °C. The resulting solution was added to Compound 7 (3.30 kg) pre -treated with 2.3 M n-hexyl lithium in tetrahydrofuran at -15 °C. The reaction was monitored by HPLC until a 99% (AUC) conversion to Compound 8 was observed.

Compound 8 was treated in situ with concentrated HC1 in isopropyl alcohol at 70 °C for eight hours. The reaction was monitored by HPLC and afforded Compound 9 as a brown solid in 85% yield with 98% (AUC) purity and 84% (AUC) ee by HPLC analysis.

Example 2

Synthesis of (S)-3-(l-aminoethyl)-8-chloro-2-phenylisoquinolin-l(2H)-one

Example 2A

[00568] To Compound 7 (20.1 g) was charged 100 mL of anhydrous THF. The resulting solution was cooled to about -10 °C and 80 mL of n-hexyl lithium (2.3 M in hexanes, 2.26 equiv.) was slowly added (e.g. , over about 20 min). The resulting solution was stirred at about -10 °C for about 20 min.

[00569] To Compound 2 (26.5 g; 1.39 equiv.) was charged 120 mL of anhydrous THF. The resulting mixture was cooled to about -10 °C and 60 mL of isopropyl magnesium chloride (2.0 M in THF, 1.47 equiv.) was slowly added (e.g. , over about 15-20 min). The resulting mixture was then stirred at about -10 °C for about 20 min. The mixture prepared from Compound 2 was added to the solution prepared from Compound 7 while maintaining the internal temperature between about -10 and about 0 °C. After the addition was complete (about 5 min), the cold bath was removed, and the resulting mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for about 1 h, then cooled. [00570] A solution of 100 mL of anisole and 33 mL of isobutyric acid (4.37 equiv.) was prepared. The anisole solution was cooled to an internal temperature of about -3 °C. The above reaction mixture was added to the anisole solution such that the internal temperature of the anisole solution was maintained at below about 5 °C. The ice bath was then removed (after about 15 min, the internal temperature was about 7 °C). To the mixture, 100 mL of 10 wt aqueous NaCl solution was rapidly added (the internal temperature increased from about 7 °C to about 15 °C). After stirring for about 30 min, the two phases were separated. The organic phase was washed with another 100 mL of 10 wt aqueous NaCl. The organic phase was transferred to a flask using 25 mL of anisole to facilitate the transfer. The anisole solution was then concentrated to 109 g. Then, 100 mL of anisole was added.

[00571] To the approximately 200 mL of anisole solution was added 50 mL of TFA (8 equiv.) while maintaining the internal temperature below about 45-50 °C. The resulting solution warmed to about 45-50 °C and stirred for about 15 hrs, then cooled to 20-25 °C. To this solution was added 300 mL of MTBE dropwise and then the resulting mixture was held at 20-25 °C for 1 h. The mixture was filtered, and the wet cake washed with approximately 50 mL of MTBE. The wet cake was conditioned on the filter for about 1 h under nitrogen. The wet cake was periodically mixed and re-smoothed during conditioning. The wet cake was then washed with 200 mL of MTBE. The wet cake was further conditioned for about 2 h (the wet cake was mixed and resmoothed after about 1.5 h). The wet cake was dried in a vacuum oven at about 40 °C for about 18 h to afford Compound 9»TFA salt in about 97.3% purity (AUC), which had about 99.1 % S- enantiomer (e.g. , chiral purity of about 99.1 %).

[00572] Compound 9»TFA salt (3 g) was suspended in 30 mL of EtOAc at about 20 °C. To the EtOAc suspension was added 4.5 mL (2.2 eq.) of a 14% aqueous ammonium hydroxide solution and the internal temperature decreased to about 17 °C. Water (5 mL) was added to the biphasic mixture. The biphasic mixture was stirred for 30 min. The mixing was stopped and the phases were allowed to separate. The aqueous phase was removed.

Ginseng fights fatigue in cancer patients, Mayo Clinic-led study finds


Ralph Turchiano's avatarCLINICALNEWS.ORG

15 JUN 2012

ROCHESTER, Minn. — High doses of the herb American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) over two months reduced cancer-related fatigue in patients more effectively than a placebo, a Mayo Clinic-led study found. Sixty percent of patients studied had breast cancer. The findings are being presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology’s annual meeting.

Researchers studied 340 patients who had completed cancer treatment or were being treated for cancer at one of 40 community medical centers. Each day, participants received a placebo or 2,000 milligrams of ginseng administered in capsules containing pure, ground American ginseng root.

“Off-the-shelf ginseng is sometimes processed using ethanol, which can give it estrogen-like properties that may be harmful to breast cancer patients,” says researcher Debra Barton, Ph.D., of the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center.

At four weeks, the pure ginseng provided only a slight improvement in fatigue symptoms. However, at eight weeks, ginseng offered cancer…

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

http://www.pharmaceutical-technology.com/news/newsdara-biosciences-receives-fda-orphan-drug-designation-for-krn5500-4295251?WT.mc_id=DN_News

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).

spk 241

  • 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.

Targeting a key driver of cancer

In a recent breakthrough, a team led by UCSF’s Kevan Shokat was able to exploit a previously unknown “Achilles heel” in K-Ras, part of a family of protein mutations that’s responsible for many cancers. The team discovered a binding site, or “pocket,” where they could design a chemical compound (shown in color) to attach to K-Ras and inhibit its activity. Credit: Shokat Lab

In the epic fight against cancer, a protein called Ras has been one of the arch-villains. First identified in human cancers in the 1980s, this protein is responsible for roughly one-third of all cases, as well as some of the deadliest, including lung, colon and pancreatic cancers.

Ras is a key switch in a multi-step cascade of molecular interactions that take place within cells. Mutations in Ras proteins can result in excessive signals for cells to proliferate and cause them to ignore cues for programmed cell death, leading…

Progesterone could become tool versus brain cancer


Lyranara.me's avatarLyra Nara Blog

The hormone progesterone could become part of therapy against the most aggressive form of brain cancer. High concentrations of progesterone kill glioblastoma cells and inhibit tumor growth when the tumors are implanted in mice, researchers have found.  The results were recently published in the Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

Glioblastoma is the most common and the most aggressive form of brain cancer in adults, with average survival after diagnosis of around 15 months. Surgery, radiation and chemotherapy do prolong survival by several months, but targeted therapies, which have been effective with other forms of cancer, have not lengthened survival in patients fighting glioblastoma.

The lead author of the current paper is Fahim Atif, PhD, Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at Emory University. The findings with glioblastoma came out of Emory researchers’ work on progesterone as therapy for traumatic brain injury and more recently, stroke. Atif, Donald…
