Lilly’s diabetes drug outshines world’s most popular insulin

World News | May 13, 2014

Late-stage clinical data has shown Lilly’s experimental diabetes drug Peglispro to be better at reducing blood sugar in patients with type II diabetes than Sanofi’s Lantus – the world’s most prescribed insulin.

The US drugmaker says it expects to file for approval of its basal insulin (BIL) by the first quarter of next year, after three Phase III studies showed it induced “a statistically superior reduction in HbA1c” compared with Lantus.

Whey beneficially affects diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk factors in obese adults


Lyranara.me's avatarLyra Nara Blog

Whey protein has been demonstrated to improve fasting lipid and insulin response in overweight and obese individuals. To establish new hypotheses for this effect and to investigate the impact of stomach emptying, we compared plasma profiles after intake of whey isolate (WI), casein, gluten (GLU), and cod (COD). Obese, nondiabetic subjects were included in the randomized, blinded, crossover meal study. Subjects ingested a high fat meal containing one of the four protein sources. Plasma samples were collected at five time points and metabolites analyzed using LC-Q-TOF-MS. In contrast to previous studies, the WI meal caused a decreased rate of gastric emptying compared to the other test meals. The WI meal also caused elevated levels of a number of amino acids, possibly stimulating insulin release leading to reduced plasma glucose. The WI meal also caused decreased levels of a number of fatty acids, while the GLU meal caused elevated levels of…

Estrogen Related Receptor alpha (ERR-a) modulators useful for treating, ameliorating, or inhibiting the progression of disease states, disorders, and

conditions mediated by ERR-a activity. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Nuclear receptors are members of a superfamily of transcription factors.

The members of this family share structural similarities and regulate a diverse set of biological effects (Olefsky, J. M. J. Biol. Chem. 2001 , 276(40), 36863-36864). Ligands activate or repress these transcription factors that control genes involved in metabolism, differentiation and reproduction (Laudet, V. and H. Gronmeyer. The Nuclear Receptor Factbooks. 2002, San Diego: Academic Press). Presently, the human genome project has identified about 48 members for this family and cognate ligands have been identified for about 28 of them (Giguere, V. Endocrine Rev. 1999, 20(5), 689-725). This protein family is composed of modular structural domains that can be interchanged within the members of the family without loss of function. A typical nuclear receptor contains a hypervariable N-terminus, a conserved DNA binding domain (DBD), a hinge region, and a conserved ligand- binding domain (LBD). The function of the DBD is targeting of the receptor to specific DNA sequences (Nuclear Hormone Receptor (NHR) response elements or NREs), and the function of the LBD is recognition of its cognate ligand. Within the sequence of the nuclear receptor there are regions involved in transcriptional activation. The Activation Function 1 (AF-1 ) domain is situated at the N-terminus and constitutively activates transcription (Rochette-Egly, C. et al. Cell 1997, 90, 97-107; Rochette-Egly, C. et al. Mol. Endocrinol. 1992, 6, 2197-2209), while the Activation Function 2 (AF-2) domain is embedded within the LBD and its transcriptional activation is ligand dependent (Wurtz, J.M. et al. Nat. Struct. Biol. 1996, 3, 87-94). Nuclear receptors can exist as monomers, homodimers or heterodimers and bind to direct or inverted nucleotide repeats (Laudet and

Gronmeyer, 2002; Aranda, A. and A. Pascual. Physiol. Rev. 2001 , 81 (3), 1269- 1304).

The members of this family exist either in an activated or repressed basal biological state. The basic mechanism of gene activation involves ligand dependent exchange of co-regulatory proteins. These co-regulatory proteins are referred to as co-activators or co-repressors (McKenna, L.J. et al. Endocrine Rev. 1999, 20, 321 -344). A nuclear receptor in the repressed state is bound to its DNA response element and is associated with co-repressor proteins that recruit histone de-acetylases (HDACs) (Jones, P.L. and Y.B. Shi. Curr. Top. Microbiol. Immunol. 2003, 274, 237-268). In the presence of an agonist there is an exchange of co- repressors with co-activators that in turn recruit transcription factors that assemble into an ATP dependent chromatin-remodeling complex. Histones are hyper- acetylated, causing the nucleosome to unfold, and repression is alleviated. The AF-2 domain acts as the ligand dependent molecular switch for the exchange of co-regulatory proteins. In the presence of an agonist the AF-2 domain undergoes a conformational transition and presents a surface on the LBD for interaction with co-activator proteins. In the absence of an agonist or in the presence of an antagonist the AF-2 domain presents a surface that promotes interactions with co- repressor proteins. The interaction surfaces on the LBD for both co-activators, and co-repressors overlap and provide a conserved molecular mechanism for gene activation or repression that is shared by the members of this family of transcription factors (Xu, H.E. et al. Nature 2002, 415 (6873), 813-817).

Natural ligands that modulate the biological activity of nuclear receptors have been identified for only approximately one half of known nuclear receptors. Receptors for which no natural ligand has been identified are termed “orphan receptors.” The discovery of ligands or compounds that interact with an orphan receptor will accelerate the understanding of the role of the nuclear receptors in physiology and disease and facilitate the pursuit of new therapeutic approaches. Estrogen related receptors (ERRs) constitutes a sub-class of these receptors where no ligand has been identified.

ERR-a (also known as ERR-1 ), an orphan receptor, is the first of the three identified members of the estrogen receptor related subfamily of orphan nuclear receptors (ERR-a, β, γ). The ERR subfamily is closely related to the estrogen receptors (ER-a and ER-β). ERR-a and ERR-β were first isolated by a low stringency hybridization screen (Giguere, V. et al. Nature 1988, 331 , 91 -94) followed later with the discovery of ERR-γ (Hong, H. et al. J. Biol. Chem. 1999, 274, 22618-22626). The ERRs and ERs share sequence similarity with the highest homology observed in their DBDs, approximately 60%, and all interact with the classical DNA estrogen response element. Recent biochemical evidence suggested that the ERRs and ERs share target genes, including pS2, lactoferin, aromatase and osteopontin, and share co-regulator proteins (Giguere, V. Trends in Endocrinol. Metab. 2002, 13, 220-225; Vanacker, J.M. et al. EMBO J. 1999, 18, 4270-4279; Kraus, R.J. et al. J. Biol. Chem. 2002, 272, 24286-24834; Hong et al., 1999; Zhang, Z. and C.T. Teng. J. Biol. Chem. 2000, 275, 20387-20846).

Therefore, one of the main functions of ERR is to regulate the response of estrogen responsive genes. The effect of the steroid hormone estrogen is primarily mediated in the breast, bone and endometrium. Thus, the identification of compounds that will interact with ERRs should provide a benefit for the treatment of bone related disease, breast cancer and reproduction.

ERR-a is shown to be present both in normal and breast cancer tissue (Ariazi, E.A. et al. Cancer Res. 2002, 62, 6510-6518). It has been reported that the main function of ERR-a in normal breast tissue is that of a repressor for estrogen responsive genes. In breast cancers or cell lines that are non-estrogen responsive (ER-a negative), ERR-a has been reported to be in an activated state (Ariazi et al., 2002). Therefore, compounds that will interact with ERR-a may be useful agents for the treatment of breast cancer that is ER-a negative and non- responsive to classical anti-estrogenic therapy, or may be used as an adjunct agent for anti-estrogen responsive breast cancers. These agents may act as antagonists by reducing the biological activity of ERR-a in these particular tissues.

Many post-menopausal women experience osteoporosis, a condition that is a result of the reduction of estrogen production. Reduction of estrogen levels results in an increase of bone loss (Turner, R.T. et al. Endocrine Rev. 1994, 15(3), 275-300). An anabolic effect on bone development has been observed on the administration of estrogens to postmenopausal patients with osteoporosis (Pacifici, R. J. Bone Miner. Res. 1996, 1 1 (8), 1043-1051 ) but the molecular mechanism is unknown since ER-a and ER-β knock-out animals have minor skeletal defects, where the action of estrogens is typically mediated (Korach, K. S. Science 1994, 266, 1524-1527; Windahl, S.H. et al. J. Clin. Invest. 1999, 104(7), 895-901 ). Expression of ERR-a in bone is regulated by estrogen (Bonnelye, E. et al. Mol. Endocrin. 1997, 1 1 , 905-916; Bonnelye, E. et al. J. Cell Biol. 2001 , 153, 971 -984). ERR-a is maintained throughout osteoblast differentiation stages.

Over-expression of ERR-a in rat calvaria osteoblasts, an accepted model of bone differentiation, results in an increase of bone nodule formation, while treatment of rat calvaria osteoblasts with ERR-a antisense results in a decrease of bone nodule formation. ERR-a also regulates osteopontin, a protein believed to be involved in bone matrix formation. Therefore compounds that will modulate ERR-a by increasing its activity can have an anabolic effect for the regeneration of bone density and provide a benefit over current approaches that prevent bone loss, but have no anabolic effect. Such compounds can enhance the activity of the receptor by two possible mechanisms: i) enhancing the association of the receptor with proteins that enhance its activity or improve the stability of the receptor; and ii) increasing the intracellular concentrations of the receptor and consequently increasing its activity. Conversely, with respect to bone diseases that are a result of abnormal bone growth, compounds that will interact with ERR-a and decrease its biological activity may provide a benefit for the treatment of these diseases by retarding bone growth. Antagonism of the association of the receptor with co- activator proteins decreases the activity of the receptor.

ERR-a is also present in cardiac, adipose, and muscle tissue and forms a transcriptional active complex with the PGC-1 co-activator family, co-activators implicated with energy homeostasis, mitochondria biogenesis, hepatic

gluconeogenesis and in the regulation of genes involved in fatty acid beta- oxidation (Kamei, Y. et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2003, 100(21 ), 12378- 12383). ERR-a regulates the expression of the medium chain acyl-CoA

dehydrogenase promoter (MCAD). Medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase is a gene involved in the initial reaction in fatty acid beta-oxidation. It is believed that in the adipose tissue ERR-a regulates energy expenditure through the regulation of MCAD (Sladek, R. et al. Mol. Cell. Biol. 1997, 17, 5400-5409; Vega, R.B. and D.P. Kelly. J. Biol. Chem. 1997, 272, 31693-31699). In antisense experiments in rat calvaria osteoblasts, in addition to the inhibition of bone nodule formation, there was an increase in adipocyte differentiation markers including aP2 and PPAR-γ (Bonnelye, E. et al. Endocrinology 2002, 143, 3658-3670). Recently an ERR-a knockout model has been described that exhibited reduced fat mass relative to the wild type and DNA chip analysis data indicated alteration of the expression levels of genes involved in adipogenesis and energy metabolism (Luo, J. et al. Mol. Cell. Biol. 2003, 23(22), 7947-7956). More recently it has been shown that ERR-a regulates the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase, a gene that has a protective mechanism against arteriosclerosis (Sumi, D. and L.J. Ignarro. Proc Natl. Acad. Sci. 2003, 100, 14451 -14456). The biochemical evidence supports the involvement of ERR-a in metabolic homeostasis and differentiation of cells into adipocytes. Therefore, compounds interacting with ERR-a can affect energy homeostasis and may therefore provide a benefit for the treatment of obesity and metabolic syndrome related disease indications, including arteriosclerosis and diabetes (Grundy, S.M. et al. Circulation 2004, 109(3), 433-438).

There is a continuing need for new ERR-a inverse agonists. There is also a need for ERR-a inverse agonists useful for the treatment of conditions including but not limited to ankylosing spondylitis, artherosclerosis, arthritis (such as rheumatoid arthritis, infectious arthritis, childhood arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, reactive arthritis), bone-related diseases (including those related to bone formation), breast cancer (including those unresponsive to anti-estrogen therapy), cardiovascular disorders, cartilage-related disease (such as cartilage injury/loss, cartilage degeneration, and those related to cartilage formation),

chondrodysplasia, chondrosarcoma, chronic back injury, chronic bronchitis, chronic inflammatory airway disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, disorders of energy homeostasis, gout, pseudogout, lipid disorders, metabolic syndrome, multiple myeloma, obesity, osteoarthritis, osteogenesis imperfecta, osteolytic bone metastasis, osteomalacia, osteoporosis, Paget’s disease, periodontal disease, polymyalgia rheumatica, Reiter’s syndrome, repetitive stress injury, hyperglycemia, elevated blood glucose level, and insulin resistance.

After stirring for 1 h, the solution was allowed to warm to rt and stir overnight. The reaction was then quenched with sat’d aq. NaHCO3 and after separating phases, the organic phase was dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated to ~ 40 mL. The solution was loaded onto a silica gel column (Analogix, 200g) and eluted with heptanes/DCM/EtOAc (40:57:3).

Product-containing fractions were combined and concentrated to afford a crude product mixture as a pale yellow foam. Treatment of this foam with ether (~ 20 mL) led to product precipitation; additional ether (200 mL) was added portionwise with stirring and after cooling to ~ 5 °C, the mixture was filtered through a glass fiber filter and washed with cold ether to afford 1 ,1 – dimethylethyl frans-4-{(5Z)-5-[(1 -{[4-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]- methyl}-1 H-indazol-5-yl)methylidene]-2,4-dioxo-1 ,3-thiazolidin-3-yl}-3- fluoropiperidine-1 -carboxylate as an essentially white powder.

Abstract Image

The development of a reproducible process for multihundred gram production of (Z)-5-((1-(4-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)-1H-indazol-5-yl)methylene)-3-((3R,4R)-3-fluoro-1-methylpiperidin-4-yl)thiazolidine-2,4-dione (26), a potent and selective inhibitor of estrogen-related receptor 1 (ERR1), is described. This multihundred gram synthesis was achieved via magnesium perchlorate-catalyzed regioselective epoxide ring-opening of tert-butyl 7-oxa-3-azabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane-3-carboxylate (9) with thiazolidine-2,4-dione (6, TZD) to form a diastereomeric mixture tert-butyl 4-(2,4-dioxothiazolidin-3-yl)-3-hydroxypiperidine-1-carboxylate (17), of which the 3-hydroxyl group was functionally transformed to 3-fluoro derivative 19 after treatment with Deoxo-Fluor. Chiral separation of 19 provided the desired diastereomer (3R,4R)-21 that was converted to the secondary amine 23 TFA salt. Reductive amination of 23 produced the key intermediate N-methyl 24. Knoevenagel condensation of24 with 1-(4-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)-1H-indazole-5-carbaldehyde (5) produced the final product 26 in 10% overall yield (99.7% HPLC area% with ≥99.5% de) after a convergent eight synthetic steps with the only column purification being the chiral HPLC separation of 3R,4R21 from 3S,4S22.

LX-4211 is a dual SGLT2/1 inhibitor; Antidiabetic agents.

LX-4211 is a SGLT-2 inhibitor being evaluated in phase II clinical studies at Lexicon Pharmaceuticals for the oral treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Summary

  • Co-administration of LX4211 led to a nearly one-third reduction in mealtime insulin for Type 1 diabetics.
  • Although there was no reduction in basal insulin use, the LX4211 group saw better glucose control, lower HbA1c, and weight loss.
  • Partnering LX4211 is still management’s top priority but independent development in Type 1 diabetes is at least an option.

Lexicon Pharmaceuticals (LXRX) continues to generate data on its SGLT-1/2 inhibitor LX4211 that suggest this is an effective and promising medication for treating not only Type 2 diabetes (the common target for non-insulin medications for diabetes), but also Type 1 as well. Lexicon’s most recent update, a small short-term Phase II study in Type 1 diabetics is certainly a positive update, but it’s not what investors really want to see. Lexicon still needs to find a development partner for LX4211 and the ongoing delays don’t help sentiment or the long-term prospects for the drug.

A Potentially Meaningful Addition To Type 1 Care

On Monday morning, Lexicon released top-line data from a small (33-patient) Phase II study of LX4211 in Type 1 diabetics on insulin. The results support the notion that SGLT inhibition can play a valuable role in improving glucose control for Type 1 diabetics.

This small study enrolled generally well-controlled patients (HbA1c levels ranging from 7 to 9, with an average of 7.9) and the addition of LX4211 led to 32% reduction in bolus (mealtime) insulin versus a 6% reduction in the placebo group. Even with the lower bolus insulin, patients in the LX4211 group showed a 0.55% reduction in HbA1c versus a 0.06% reduction in the placebo group. Patients taking LX4211 demonstrated better glucose control (more time spent in the target range of 70-180 mg/dL) and saw a 1.7kg weight loss versus a 0.5kg weight gain in the placebo group

EXAMPLES

    • Aspects of this invention can be understood from the following examples.

6.1. Synthesis of ((3aS,5R,6S,6aS)-6-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyltetrahydrofuro [2.3-d][13]dioxol-5-yl)(morpholino)methanone

    • To a 12L three-necked round bottom flask with mechanical stirrer, rubber septum with temperature probe and gas bubbler was charged L-(-)-xylose (504.40 g, 3.360 mol), acetone (5L, reagent grade) and anhydrous MgSO4 powder (811.23g, 6.740 mol / 2.0 equiv). The suspension was set stirring at ambient and then concentrated H2SO4 (50 mL, 0.938 mol / 0.28 equiv) was added. A slow mild exotherm was noticed (temperature rose to 24°C over about 1 hr) and the reaction was allowed to stir at ambient overnight. After 16.25 hours, TLC suggested all L-xylose had been consumed, with the major product being the bis-acetonide along with some (3aS,5S,6R,6aS)-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2,2-dimethyltetrahydrofuro[2,3-d][1,3]dioxol-6-ol. The reaction mixture was filtered and the collected solids were washed twice with acetone (500 mL per wash). The stirring yellow filtrate was neutralized with concentrated NH4OH solution (39 mL) to pH = 8.7. After stirring for 10 min, the suspended solids were removed by filtration. The filtrate was concentrated to afford crude bis-acetonide intermediate as a yellow oil (725.23 g). The yellow oil was suspended in 2.5 L water stirring in a 5L three-necked round bottom flask with mechanical stirrer, rubber septum with temperature probe and gas bubbler. The pH was adjusted from 9 to 2 with 1N aq. HCl (142mL) and stirred at room temperature for 6 h until GC showed sufficient conversion of the bis-acetonide intermediate to (3aS,5S,6R,6aS)-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2,2-dimethyltetrahydrofuro[2,3-d][1,3]dioxol-6-ol. The reaction was neutralized by the addition of 50% w/w aq. K2HPO4 until pH=7. The solvent was then evaporated and ethyl acetate (1.25L) was added to give a white suspension which was filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to afford an orange oil which was dissolved in 1 L methyl tert-butyl ether. This solution had KF 0.23 wt% water and was concentrated to afford (3aS,5S,6R,6aS)-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2,2-dimethyltetrahydrofuro[2,3-d][1,3]dioxol-6-ol as an orange oil (551.23g, 86% yield, 96.7 area% pure by GC). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6)δ1.22 (s, 3 H) 1.37 (s, 3 H) 3.51 (dd, J=11.12, 5.81 Hz, 1 H) 3.61 (dd, J=11.12, 5.05 Hz, 1 H) 3.93 – 4.00 (m, 1 H) 3.96 (s, 1 H) 4.36 (d, J=3.79 Hz, 1 H) 4.86 (br. s., 2 H) 5.79 (d, J=3.54 Hz, 1 H). 13C NMR (101MHz, DMSO-d6) δ26.48, 27.02, 59.30, 73.88, 81.71, 85.48, 104.69, 110.73.
    • To a solution of (3aS,5S,6R,6aS)-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2,2-dimethyltetrahydrofuro[2,3-d][1,3]dioxol-6-ol (25.0g, 131 mmol) in acetone (375 mL, 15X) and H2O (125 mL, 5X) was added NaHC03 (33.0g, 3.0 equiv), NaBr (2.8g, 20 mol%) and TEMPO (0.40g, 2 mol%) at 20°C. The mixture was cooled to 0-5°C and solid trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA, 30.5 g, 1.0 equiv) was then added in portions. The suspension was stirred at 20°C for 24h. Methanol (20 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred at 20°C for 1h. A white suspension was formed at this point. The mixture was filtered, washed with acetone (50 mL, 2X). The organic solvent was removed under vacuum and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (300 mL, 12X x3) and the combined organic layers were concentrated to afford an oily mixture with some solid residue. Acetone (125 mL, 5X) was added and the mixture was filtered. The acetone solution was then concentrated to afford the desired acid ((3aS,5R,6S,6aS)-6-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyltetrahydrofuro[2,3-d][1,3]dioxole-5-carboxylic acid) as a yellow solid (21.0g, 79%). 1H NMR (methanol-d4), δ 6.00 (d, J= 3.2 Hz, 1H), 4.72 d, J= 3.2 Hz, 1H), 4.53 (d, J= 3.2 Hz, 1H), 4.38 (d, J= 3.2 Hz, 1H), 1.44 (s, 3H), 1.32 (s, 3H).
    • To a solution of (3aS,5R,6S,6aS)-6-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyltetrahydrofuro[2,3-d][1,3]dioxole-5-carboxylic acid (5.0g, 24.5 mmol) in THF (100 mL, 20X) was added TBTU (11.8g, 1.5 equiv), N-methylmorpholine (NMM, 4.1 mL, 1.5 equiv) and the mixture was stirred at 20°C for 30 min. Morpholine (3.2 mL, 1.5 equiv) was then added, and the reaction mixture was stirred at 20°C for an additional 6h. The solid was filtered off by filtration and the cake was washed with THF (10 mL, 2X x2). The organic solution was concentrated under vacuum and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexanes:EtOAc, from 1:4 to 4:1) to afford 4.3 g of the desired morpholine amide (64%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3), 8 6.02 (d, J= 3.2 Hz, 1H), 5.11 (br s, 1H), 4.62 (d, J= 3.2 Hz, 1H), 4.58 (d, J= 3.2 Hz, 1H), 3.9-3.5 (m, 8H), 1.51 (s, 3H), 1.35 (s, 3H).

6.2. Alternative synthesis of ((3aS,5R,6S,6aS)-6-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyltetrahvdrofuro[2.3-d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)(morpholino)methanone

    • A solution of the diol (3aS,5S,6R,6aS)-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2,2-dimethyltetrahydrofuro[2,3-d][1,3]dioxol-6-ol in acetonitrile (5.38 kg, 65% w/w, 3.50 kg active, 18.40 mol), acetonitrile (10.5 L) and TEMPO (28.4 g, 1 mol %) were added to a solution of K2HPO4 (0.32 kg, 1.84 mol) and KH2PO4 (1.25 kg, 9.20 mol) in water (10.5 L). A solution of NaClO2 (3.12 kg, 80% w/w, 27.6 mole, 1.50 eq) in water (7.0 L) and a solution of K2HPO4 (2.89 kg, 0.90 eq) in water (3.0 L) were prepared with cooling. Bleach (3.0L, approximate 6% household grade) was mixed with the K2HPO4 solution. Approximately 20% of the NaClO2 solution (1.6 L) and bleach/K2HPO4 solution (400 mL),∼1 mol %) were added. The remainders of the two solutions were added simultaneously. The reaction mixture turned dark red brown and slow exotherm was observed. The addition rate of the NaClO2 solution was about 40 mL/min (3-4 h addition) and the addition rate for the bleach/K2HPO4 solution was about 10-12 mL/min (10 hr addition) while maintaining the batch at 15-25°C. Additional charges of TEMPO (14.3g, 0.5 mol%) were performed every 5-6 hr until the reaction went to completion (usually two charges are sufficient). Nitrogen sweep of the headspace to a scrubber with aqueous was performed to keep the green-yellowish gas from accumulating in the vessel. The reaction mixture was cooled to < 10°C and quenched with Na2SO3 (1.4 kg, 0.6 eq) in three portions over 1 hr. The reaction mixture was then acidified with H3PO4 until pH reached 2.0-2.1 (2.5-2.7 L) at 5-15°C. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with acetonitrile (10.5 L x 3).

6.3. Synthesis of 1-chloro-2-(4-ethoxybenzyl)-4-iodobenzene

    • A 2L three-necked round bottom flask with mechanical stirrer, rubber septum with temperature probe and pressure-equalized addition funnel with gas bubbler was charged with 2-chloro-5-iodobenzoic acid (199.41 g, 0.706 mol), dichloromethane (1.2L, KF = 0.003 wt% water) and the suspension was set stirring at ambient temperature. Then N,N-dimethylformamide (0.6 mL, 1.1 mol %) was added followed by oxalyl chloride (63 mL, 0.722 mol, 1.02 equiv) which was added over 11 min. The reaction was allowed to stir at ambient overnight and became a solution. After 18.75hours, additional oxalyl chloride (6 mL, 0.069 mol, 0.10 equiv) was added to consume unreacted starting material. After 2 hours, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo to afford crude 2-chloro-5-iodobenzoyl chloride as a pale yellow foam which will be carried forward to the next step.
    • A jacketed 2L three-necked round bottom flask with mechanical stirrer, rubber septum with temperature probe and pressure-equalized addition funnel with gas bubbler was charged with aluminum chloride (97.68 g, 0.733 mol, 1.04 equiv), dichloromethane (0.65 L, KF = 0.003 wt% water) and the suspension was set stirring under nitrogen and was cooled to about 6°C. Then ethoxybenzene (90 mL, 0.712 mol, 1.01 equiv) was added over 7 minutes keeping internal temperature below 9°C. The resulting orange solution was diluted with dichloromethane (75mL) and was cooled to -7°C. Then a solution of 2-chloro-5-iodobenzoyl chloride (≤ 0.706 mol) in 350 mL dichloromethane was added over 13 minutes keeping the internal temperature below +3°C. The reaction mixture was warmed slightly and held at +5°C for 2 hours. HPLC analysis suggested the reaction was complete and the reaction was quenched into 450mL pre-cooled (∼5°C) 2N aq. HCl with stirring in a jacketed round bottom flask. This quench was done in portions over 10min with internal temperature remaining below 28°C. The quenched biphasic mixture was stirred at 20°C for 45min and the lower organic phase was washed with 1N aq. HCl (200mL), twice with saturated aq sodium bicarbonate (200mL per wash), and with saturated aq sodium chloride (200mL). The washed extract was concentrated on a rotary evaporator to afford crude (2-chloro-5-iodophenyl)(4-ethoxyphenyl)methanone as an off-white solid (268.93g, 99.0 area% by HPLC at 220nm, 1.0 area% regioisomer at 200nm, 98.5 % “as-is” yield).
    • A jacketed 1 L three-necked round bottom flask with mechanical stirrer, rubber septum with temperature probe and gas bubbler was charged with crude (2-chloro-5-iodophenyl)(4-ethoxyphenyl)methanone (30.13 g, 77.93 mmol), acetonitrile (300mL, KF = 0.004 wt% water) and the suspension was set stirring under nitrogen and was cooled to about 5°C.Then triethylsilane (28mL, 175.30 mmol, 2.25 equiv) was added followed by boron trifluoride-diethyletherate (24mL, 194.46mmo1,2.50 equiv) which was added over about 30 seconds. The reaction was warmed to ambient over 30min and was stirred for 17 hours. The reaction was diluted with methyl tert-butyl ether (150mL) followed by saturated aq sodium bicarbonate (150mL) which was added over about 1 minutes. Mild gas evolution was noticed and the biphasic solution was stirred at ambient for 45 minutes. The upper organic phase was washed with saturated aq sodium bicarbonate (100 mL), and with saturated aq sodium chloride (50mL). The washed extract was concentrated on a rotary evaporator to about one half of its original volume and was diluted with water (70 mL). Further concentration in vacuo at 45°C was done until white prills formed which were allowed to cool to ambient while stirring. After about 30 minutes at ambient, the suspended solids were isolated by filtration, washed with water (30 mL), and were dried in vacuo at 45°C. After about 2.5 hours, this afforded 1-chloro-2-(4-ethoxybenzyl)-4-iodobenzene as a slightly waxy white granular powder (28.28 g, 98.2 area % by HPLC at 220nm, 97.4 % “as-is” yield).

The homogeneous solution was then cooled to – 25°C. To this solution was added a solution of t-BuMgCl in THF (Aldrich 1 M, 7.32 L, 7.91 mol) at -25°C over 3 hours. Then the above Grignard solution was added to this solution at -20 over 41 minutes. The resulting solution was further stirred at -20°C before quench. The reaction mixture was added to 10 wt% aqueous NH4Cl (10 L, 5X) at 0°C with vigorous stirring, and stirred for 30 minutes at 0°C. To this mixture was added slowly 6 N HCl (4 L, 2X) at 0°C to obtain a clear solution and stirred for 30 minutes at 10°C. After phase split, the organic layer was washed with 25 wt% aq NaCl (5 L, 2.5X). Then the organic layer was concentrated to a 3X solution under the conditions (200 mbar, bath temp 50°C). EtOAc (24 L, 12X) was added, and evaporated to a 3X solution under the conditions (150 mbar, bath temp 50°C). After removed solids by a polish filtration, EtOAc (4 L, 2X) was added and concentrated to dryness (150 mbar, bath temp 50°C). The wet cake was then transferred to a 50 L reactor equipped with a mechanical stirrer, a temperature controller and a nitrogen inlet. After EtOAc was added, the suspension was heated at 70°C to obtain a 2.5X homogeneous solution. To the resulting homogeneous solution was added slowly heptane (5 L, 2.5X) at the same temperature. A homogeneous solution was seeded and heptane (15 L, 7.5X) was added slowly to a little cloudy solution at 70°C. After stirred for 0.5 h at 70°C, the suspension was slowly cooled to 60°C and stirred for 1 h at 60°C.

To a 12 L three-necked round bottom flask with mechanical stirrer, rubber septum with temperature probe and gas bubbler was charged L-(−)-xylose (504.40 g, 3.360 mol), acetone (5 L, reagent grade) and anhydrous MgSOpowder (811.23 g, 6.740 mol/2.0 equiv). The suspension was set stirring at ambient and then concentrated H2SO(50 mL, 0.938 mol/0.28 equiv) was added. A slow mild exotherm was noticed (temperature rose to 24° C. over about 1 hr) and the reaction was allowed to stir at ambient overnight. After 16.25 hours, TLC suggested all L-xylose had been consumed, with the major product being the bis-acetonide along with some (3aS,5S,6R,6aS)-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2,2-dimethyltetrahydrofuro[2,3-d][1,3]dioxol-6-ol. The reaction mixture was filtered and the collected solids were washed twice with acetone (500 mL per wash). The stirring yellow filtrate was neutralized with concentrated NH4OH solution (39 mL) to pH =8.7. After stirring for 10 min, the suspended solids were removed by filtration. The filtrate was concentrated to afford crude bis-acetonide intermediate as a yellow oil (725.23 g). The yellow oil was suspended in 2.5 L water stirring in a 5 L three-necked round bottom flask with mechanical stirrer, rubber septum with temperature probe and gas bubbler. The pH was adjusted from 9 to 2 with 1N aq. HCl (142 mL) and stirred at room temperature for 6 h until GC showed sufficient conversion of the bis-acetonide intermediate to (3aS,5 S,6R,6aS)-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2,2-dimethyltetrahydrofuro[2,3-d][1,3]dioxol-6-ol. The reaction was neutralized by the addition of 50% w/w aq. K2HPOuntil pH=7. The solvent was then evaporated and ethyl acetate (1.25 L) was added to give a white suspension which was filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to afford an orange oil which was dissolved in 1 L methyl tert-butyl ether. This solution had KF 0.23 wt % water and was concentrated to afford (3aS,5S,6R,6aS)-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2,2-dimethyltetrahydrofuro[2,3-d][1,3]dioxol-6-ol as an orange oil (551.23 g, 86% yield, 96.7 area % pure by GC). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 1.22 (s, 3 H) 1.37 (s, 3 H) 3.51 (dd, J=11.12, 5.81 Hz, 1 H) 3.61 (dd, J=11.12, 5.05 Hz, 1 H) 3.93-4.00 (m, 1 H) 3.96 (s, 1 H) 4.36 (d, J=3.79 Hz, 1 H) 4.86 (br. s., 2 H) 5.79 (d, J=3.54 Hz, 1 H). 3C NMR (101 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 26.48, 27.02, 59.30, 73.88, 81.71, 85.48, 104.69, 110.73. To a solution of (3aS,5S,6R,6aS)-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2,2-dimethyltetrahydrofuro[2,3-d][1,3]dioxol-6-ol (25.0 g, 131 mmol) in acetone (375 mL, 15×) and H2O (125 mL, 5×) was added NaHCO(33.0 g, 3.0 equiv), NaBr (2.8 g, 20 mol %) and TEMPO (0.40 g, 2 mol %) at 20° C. The mixture was cooled to 0-5° C. and solid trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA, 30.5 g, 1.0 equiv) was then added in portions. The suspension was stirred at 20° C. for 24h. Methanol (20 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred at 20° C. for 1 h. A white suspension was formed at this point. The mixture was filtered, washed with acetone (50 mL, 2×). The organic solvent was removed under vacuum and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (300 mL, 12× ×3) and the combined organic layers were concentrated to afford an oily mixture with some solid residue. Acetone (125 mL, 5×) was added and the mixture was filtered. The acetone solution was then concentrated to afford the desired acid ((3aS,5R,6S,6aS)-6-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyltetrahydrofuro[2,3-d][1,3]dioxole-5-carboxylic acid) as a yellow solid (21.0 g, 79%).1H NMR (methanol-d4), δ 6.00 (d, J=3.2 Hz, 1H), 4.72 d, J=3.2 Hz, 1H), 4.53 (d, J=3.2 Hz, 1H), 4.38 (d, J=3.2 Hz, 1H), 1.44 (s, 3H), 1.32 (s, 3H). To a solution of (3aS,5R,6S,6aS)-6-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyltetrahydrofuro[2,3-d][1,3]dioxole-5-carboxylic acid (5.0 g, 24.5 mmol) in THF (100 ML, 20×) was added TBTU (11.8 g, 1.5 equiv), N-methylmorpholine (NMM, 4.1 mL, 1.5 equiv) and the mixture was stirred at 20° C. for 30 min. Morpholine (3.2 mL, 1.5 equiv) was then added, and the reaction mixture was stirred at 20° C. for an additional 6h. The solid was filtered off by filtration and the cake was washed with THF (10 mL, 2× ×2). The organic solution was concentrated under vacuum and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexanes:EtOAc, from 1:4 to 4: 1) to afford 4.3 g of the desired morpholine amide (64%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3), δ 6.02 (d, J=3.2 Hz, 1H), 5.11 (br s, 1H), 4.62 (d, J=3.2 Hz, 1H), 4.58 (d, J=3.2 Hz, 1H), 3.9-3.5 (m, 8H), 1.51 (s, 3H), 1.35 (s, 3H).

6.2. Alternative synthesis of ((3aS,5R,6S,6aS)-6-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyltetrahydrofuro[2,3-d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)(morpholino)methanone

A solution of the diol (3aS,5S,6R,6aS)-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2,2-dimethyltetrahydrofuro[2,3-d][1,3]dioxol-6-ol in acetonitrile (5.38 kg, 65% w/w, 3.50 kg active, 18.40 mol), acetonitrile (10.5 L) and TEMPO (28.4 g, 1 mol %) were added to a solution of K2HPO(0.32 kg, 1.84 mol) and KH2PO(1.25 kg, 9.20 mol) in water (10.5 L). A solution of NaClO(3.12 kg, 80% w/w, 27.6 mole, 1.50 eq) in water (7.0 L) and a solution of K2HPO(2.89 kg, 0.90 eq) in water (3.0 L) were prepared with cooling. Bleach (3.0 L, approximate 6% household grade) was mixed with the K2HPOsolution. Approximately 20% of the NaClO2solution (1.6 L) and bleach/K2HPOsolution (400 mL, 1 mol %) were added. The remainders of the two solutions were added simultaneously. The reaction mixture turned dark red brown and slow exotherm was observed. The addition rate of the NaClOsolution was about 40 mL/min (3-4 h addition) and the addition rate for the bleach/K2HPOsolution was about 10-12 mL/min (10 hr addition) while maintaining the batch at 15-25° C. Additional charges of TEMPO (14.3 g, 0.5 mol %) were performed every 5-6 hr until the reaction went to completion (usually two charges are sufficient). Nitrogen sweep of the headspace to a scrubber with aqueous was performed to keep the green-yellowish gas from accumulating in the vessel. The reaction mixture was cooled to <10° C. and quenched with Na2SO(1.4 kg, 0.6 eq) in three portions over 1 hr. The reaction mixture was then acidified with H3POuntil pH reached 2.0-2.1 (2.5-2.7 L) at 5-15° C. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with acetonitrile (10.5 L ×3). The combined organic layer was concentrated under vacuo (˜100-120 torr) at <35° C. (28-32° C. vapor, 45-50° C. bath) to low volume (˜6-7 L) and then flushed with acetonitrile (40 L) until KF of the solution reached <1% when diluted to volume of about 12-15Lwith acetonitrile. Morpholine (1.61 L, 18.4 mol, 1.0 eq) was added over 4-6 h and the slurry was aged overnight under nitrogen. The mixture was cooled to 0-5° C. and aged for 3 hours then filtered. The filter cake was washed with acetonitrile (10 L). Drying under flowing nitrogen gave 4.13 kg of the morpholine salt of ((3aS,5R,6S,6aS)-6-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyltetrahydrofuro[2,3-d][1,3]dioxole-5-carboxylic acid as a white solid (92-94% pure based on 1H NMR with 1,4-dimethoxybenzene as the internal standard), 72-75% yield corrected for purity. 1H NMR (D2O) δ 5.96 (d, J=3.6 Hz, 1H), 4.58 (d, J=3.6 Hz, 1H), 4.53 (d, J=3.2 Hz, 1H), 4.30 (d, J=3.2 Hz, 1H), 3.84 (m, 2H), 3.18 (m, 2H), 1.40 (s, 1H), 1.25 (s, 1H). 13H NMR (D2O) δ 174.5, 112.5, 104.6, 84.2, 81.7, 75.0, 63.6, 43.1, 25.6, 25.1. The morpholine salt of ((3aS,5R,6S,6aS)-6-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyltetrahydrofuro[2,3-d][1,3]dioxole-5-carboxylic acid (7.85 kg, 26.9 mol), morpholine (2.40 L, 27.5 mol) and boric acid (340 g, 5.49 mol, 0.2 eq) were added to toluene (31 L). The resulting slurry was degassed and heated at reflux with a Dean-Stark trap under nitrogen for 12 h and then cooled to room temperature. The mixture was filtered to remove insolubles and the filter cake washed with toluene (5 L). The filtrate was concentrated to about 14 L and flushed with toluene (˜80 L) to remove excess morpholine. When final volume reached 12 L, heptane (14 L) was added slowly at 60-70° C. The resulting slurry was cooled gradually to room temperature and aged for 3 h. It was then filtered and washed with heptane (12 L) and dry under nitrogen gave a slightly pink solid (6.26 kg, 97% pure, 98% yield). m.p.: 136° C.

A 2 L three-necked round bottom flask with mechanical stirrer, rubber septum with temperature probe and pressure-equalized addition funnel with gas bubbler was charged with 2-chloro-5-iodobenzoic acid (199.41 g, 0.706 mol), dichloromethane (1.2L, KF=0.003 wt % water) and the suspension was set stirring at ambient temperature. Then N,N-dimethylformamide (0.6 mL, 1.1 mol %) was added followed by oxalyl chloride (63 mL, 0.722 mol, 1.02 equiv) which was added over 11 min. The reaction was allowed to stir at ambient overnight and became a solution. After 18.75hours, additional oxalyl chloride (6 mL, 0.069 mol, 0.10 equiv) was added to consume unreacted starting material. After 2 hours, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo to afford crude 2-chloro-5-iodobenzoyl chloride as a pale yellow foam which will be carried forward to the next step. A jacketed 2 L three-necked round bottom flask with mechanical stirrer, rubber septum with temperature probe and pressure-equalized addition funnel with gas bubbler was charged with aluminum chloride (97.68 g, 0.733 mol, 1.04 equiv), dichloromethane (0.65 L, KF=0.003 wt % water) and the suspension was set stirring under nitrogen and was cooled to about 6° C. Then ethoxybenzene (90 mL, 0.712 mol, 1.01 equiv) was added over 7 minutes keeping internal temperature below 9° C. The resulting orange solution was diluted with dichloromethane (75 mL) and was cooled to −7° C. Then a solution of 2-chloro-5-iodobenzoyl chloride (<0.706 mol) in 350 mL dichloromethane was added over 13 minutes keeping the internal temperature below +3° C. The reaction mixture was warmed slightly and held at +5° C. for 2 hours. HPLC analysis suggested the reaction was complete and the reaction was quenched into 450 mL pre-cooled (˜5° C.) 2N aq. HCl with stirring in a jacketed round bottom flask. This quench was done in portions over 10 min with internal temperature remaining below 28° C. The quenched biphasic mixture was stirred at 20° C. for 45 min and the lower organic phase was washed with 1N aq. HCl (200 mL), twice with saturated aq. sodium bicarbonate (200 mL per wash), and with saturated aq. sodium chloride (200 mL). The washed extract was concentrated on a rotary evaporator to afford crude (2-chloro-5-iodophenyl)(4-ethoxyphenyl)methanone as an off-white solid (268.93 g, 99.0 area % by HPLC at 220 nm, 1.0 area % regioisomer at 200 nm, 98.5 % “as-is” yield). A jacketed 1 L three-necked round bottom flask with mechanical stirrer, rubber septum with temperature probe and gas bubbler was charged with crude (2-chloro-5-iodophenyl)(4-ethoxyphenyl)methanone (30.13 g, 77.93 mmol), acetonitrile (300 mL, KF=0.004 wt % water) and the suspension was set stirring under nitrogen and was cooled to about 5° C. Then triethylsilane (28 mL, 175.30 mmol, 2.25 equiv) was added followed by boron trifluoride-diethyletherate (24 mL, 194.46 mmol, 2.50 equiv) which was added over about 30 seconds. The reaction was warmed to ambient over 30 min and was stirred for 17 hours. The reaction was diluted with methyl tert-butyl ether (150 mL) followed by saturated aq sodium bicarbonate (150 mL) which was added over about 1 minutes. Mild gas evolution was noticed and the biphasic solution was stirred at ambient for 45 minutes. The upper organic phase was washed with saturated aq. sodium bicarbonate (100 mL), and with saturated aq. sodium chloride (50 mL). The washed extract was concentrated on a rotary evaporator to about one half of its original volume and was diluted with water (70 mL). Further concentration in vacuo at 45° C. was done until white prills formed which were allowed to cool to ambient while stirring. After about 30 minutes at ambient, the suspended solids were isolated by filtration, washed with water (30 mL), and were dried in vacuo at 45° C. After about 2.5 hours, this afforded 1-chloro-2-(4-ethoxybenzyl)-4-iodobenzene as a slightly waxy white granular powder (28.28 g, 98.2 area % by HPLC at 220 nm, 97.4 % “as-is” yield).

The homogeneous solution was then cooled to −25° C. To this solution was added a solution of t-BuMgCl in THF (Aldrich 1 M, 7.32 L, 7.91 mol) at −25° C. over 3 hours. Then the above Grignard solution was added to this solution at −20 over 41 minutes. The resulting solution was further stirred at −20° C. before quench. The reaction mixture was added to 10 wt % aqueous NH4Cl (10 L, 5×) at 0° C. with vigorous stirring, and stirred for 30 minutes at 0° C. To this mixture was added slowly 6 N HCl (4 L, 2×) at 0° C. to obtain a clear solution and stirred for 30 minutes at 10° C. After phase split, the organic layer was washed with 25 wt % aq NaCl (5 L, 2.5×). Then the organic layer was concentrated to a 3× solution under the conditions (200 mbar, bath temp 50° C.). EtOAc (24 L, 12×) was added, and evaporated to a 3× solution under the conditions (150 mbar, bath temp 50° C.). After removed solids by a polish filtration, EtOAc (4 L, 2×) was added and concentrated to dryness (150 mbar, bath temp 50° C.). The wet cake was then transferred to a 50 L reactor equipped with a mechanical stirrer, a temperature controller and a nitrogen inlet. After EtOAc was added, the suspension was heated at 70° C. to obtain a 2.5× homogeneous solution. To the resulting homogeneous solution was added slowly heptane (5 L, 2.5×) at the same temperature. A homogeneous solution was seeded and heptane (15 L, 7.5×) was added slowly to a little cloudy solution at 70° C. After stirred for 0.5 h at 70° C., the suspension was slowly cooled to 60° C. and stirred for 1 h at 60° C.

Methanol (7.5 L) was added as rinse (totally 47.5 L, 19×). A freshly prepared solution of NaBH(87.5 g, 0.4 equiv) in aqueous 1 N NaOH (250 mL) was added slowly (35 min) at 15-25° C. The mixture was then stirred for 15 min. HPLC analysis of the reaction mixture showed approximately 90:10 diastereomeric ratio. The reaction was quenched with 10 wt % aq NH4Cl (2.5 L, 1×) and the mixture was concentrated under vacuum to 5×, diluted with water (10 L, 4×) and MTBE (12.5 L, 5×). The mixture was cooled to 10° C. and 6 N aq HCl was added until the pH of the mixture reached 2.0. Stirring was continued for 10 minutes and the layers were separated. The organic layer was washed with H2O (5L, 2×). The combined aqueous layer was extracted with MTBE (12.5 L, 5×). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (2.5 L, 1×) and concentrated under vacuum to 3×. MeCN (15 L, 6×) was added. The mixture was concentrated again to 10 L (4×) and any solid residue was removed by a polish filtration. The cake was washed with minimal amount of MeCN. The organic filtrate was transferred to 50 L reactor, and a pre-prepared 20 mol % aqueous H2SOsolution (61.8 mL 98% concentrated H2SOand 5 L H2O) was added. The mixture was heated to 80° C. for 2 hours and then cooled to 20° C. The reaction was quenched with a solution of saturated aqueous K2CO(5 L, 2×) and diluted with MTBE (15 L, 6×). The organic layer was separated, washed with brine (5 L, 2×) and concentrated under vacuum to 5 L (2×). MeCN (12.5 L, 5×) was added and the mixture was concentrated to 7.5 L (3×). The above MeCN solution of (3S,4R,5R,6S)-6-(4-chloro-3-(4-ethoxybenzyl)phenyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2,3,4,5-tetraol was cooled to 10° C., added with dimethylaminopyridine (17.53 g, 2.5 mol %), followed by slow addition of acetic anhydride (3.23 L, 6.0 equiv) and triethylamine (5 L, 2×, 6.0 equiv) so that the temperature of the mixture was kept below 20° C. The reaction was then warmed to 20° C. and stirred for 1 hour and diluted with MTBE (15 L, 6×). The mixture was slowly quenched with water (7.5 L, 3×). The organic layer was separated and washed with saturated aqueous KHCO(5L, 2×), 1 N NaHSO(5 L, 2×), and brine (5 L, 2×) in sequence. The organic layer was then concentrated under vacuum to 5 L (2×). MeCN (12.5 L, 5×) was added and the solution was concentrated to 7.5 L (3×) (KF=0.08%). Dioxane (12.5 L, 5×) was added and the solution was concentrated to 7.50 L (3×) (KF=0.02%). Any residual solid was removed by a polish filtration and the cake was washed with minimal amount of dioxane (500 mL). To the above filtrate was added thiourea (880 g, 2.0 equiv) and TMSOTf (1.57 L, 1.5 equiv). The reaction mixture was heated to 80° C. for 3 hours (>97% conversion). The mixture was cooled to 20° C. and methyl iodide (541 mL, 1.5 equiv) and diethylisopropylamine (3.02 L, 3.0 equiv) were added and the mixture was stirred at 20° C. for 18 hours. An extra methyl iodide charge (90 mL, 0.25 equiv) was added and the mixture was stirred at 20° C. for 1 hours. The mixture was then diluted with MTBE (25 L, 10×) and washed with water (12.5 L, 5× ×2). The organic layer was separated and concentrated under vacuum to ˜5 L (2×). MeOH (12.5 L, 5×) was added and the mixture was concentrated to 5× to afford a slurry. The mixture was then heated at 60° C. for 1 hour and cooled to 0° C. and stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour. The mixture was filtered and the cake was washed with MeOH (0° C., 2.5 L, 1× ×2, 1.0 L, 0.4×). The cake was dried under vacuum at 45° C. overnight to afford the desired triacetate (1.49 kg, 47% over 4 steps) as a pale yellow/off-white solid.

1. Introduction

Diabetes mellitus is characterized by chronically elevated serum glucose levels resulting in damage of several tissues (e. g. retina, kidney, nerves) due to higher protein glycation, retardation of wound healing, impaired insulin secretion, enhanced insulin resistance, cell apoptosis, and increased oxidative stress. Type 2 diabetes (T2DM), representing 90-95 % of all diabetic cases, is a multifactorial disease where impaired insulin secretion and the development of insulin resistance ultimately leads to hyperglycemia (Hengesh, 1995). The end of the 20th century has witnessed a dramatic increase in the number of patients diagnosed with diabetes worldwide. The predicted number for the year 2025 is well over 300 million representing a 4-5 % yearly increase of the population above 20 years of age (Treadway et al., 2001). This striking prevalence can even be an underestimate due to methodological uncertainties as well as undiagnosed cases (Green et al., 2003). The highest increases are expected in the developing countries of Africa, Asia, and South America, while European populations seem to be less affected (Diamond, 2003). T2DM has been considered as the adult- or late-onset variant, however, the recent decade has seen the appearance and spreading of the disease among young people including children: this forecasts severe economic and health service burdens in the near future (Alberti et al., 2004Ehtisham & Barrett, 2004).

The epidemic of T2DM is in conjunction with genetic susceptibility: evidence for a genetic component to the disease are accumulating, and the potential of these factors in the treatment and prevention of diabetes has been reviewed (Barroso, 2005Bonnefond et al., 2010; Sladek et al., 2007; Toye & Gauguier, 2003). A similarly high contribution to this epidemic may originate from behavioral factors such as sedentary lifestyle, overly rich nutrition, and obesity (Bloomgarden, 2004).

Especially due to its long term complications (Brownlee, 2001) like retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy, and in particular cardiovascular diseases, as well as significantly higher risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, gangrene, and limb amputation diabetes has become one of the largest contributors to disability and mortality. Although several pathomechanisms (Lowell & Shulman, 2005;Panunti et al., 2004Stumvoll et al., 2005) are under investigation, no firm understanding of the molecular origins (Ross et al., 2004) of the disease exists. Thereby, all available and investigational treatments are symptomatic. As the complications can first of all be attributed to the high blood glucose levels, current antidiabetic therapies (Table 1) aim at reaching normoglycemia. However, most of the applied oral hypoglycemic agents (Cheng & Fantus, 2005Krentz & Bailey, 2005Mizuno et al., 2008Padwal et al., 2005Rendell, 2004Uwaifo & Ratner, 2005) have several side effects and are inadequate for 30-40 % of the patients (Wagman & Nuss, 2001). On the other hand, their efficacy is lost over the time, and several concerns exist regarding their safety (Israili, 2011).

Main types of current therapeutic agents for T2DM and their major side effects (Israili, 2011;Moller, 2001)

The complexity of T2DM offers many potential points of intervention for pharmacotherapy for which the main molecular targets and strategies such as insulin secretagogues, insulin sensitizers, hormones, inhibitors of PTP-1B, GSK3, and hepatic glucose production, methods for altering lipid metabolism, combination therapies, etc. have been reviewed in details (Israili, 2011; Morral, 2003Nourparvar et al., 2004Wagman et al., 2004).

Among the numerous methods used to treat type 2 diabetes and investigated to find new therapeutic possibilities there are several approaches which apply carbohydrate (especially glucose) derivatives as well as compounds mimicking the properties of sugars. Based on our experience in the chemistry of carbohydrates and glycomimetics, in this survey we summarize the roles of such compounds in combatting type 2 diabetes relying on the review literature and very recent primary scientific papers.

2. Inhibitors of α-glucosidase enzymes

Starch and sucrose are the most important dietary carbohydrates but they are not directly available for the cells. They are digested in the gastrointestinal tract to monosaccharides which can be absorbed to the circulation to raise the serum concentration (Hanhineva et al., 2010). The normal blood glucose level (3.6–5.8 mM) fluctuates throughout the day, is usually lowest in the morning, before the first meal of the day, and rises after meals for an hour or two.

A medically applied treatment of diabetes is to retard the absorption of glucose by inhibition of the carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes α-amylase and α-glucosidase in the digestive tract. In humans the digestion of starch, maltodextrins, and maltooligosaccharides includes several stages: degradation of the polymeric substrates results in shorter oligomers which are than cleaved by α-amylase into smaller oligosaccharides. This mixture is broken down to monosaccharides by α-glucosidase from the non-reducing end of the oligosaccharides. By inhibition of these enzymes the rate of glucose production can be reduced that contributes to diminishing the blood glucose levels, too (Tundis et al., 2010). Such inhibitors decrease postprandial hyperglycaemia and hyperinsulinaemia, thereby may improve sensitivity to insulin and release the stress on β-cells (Scheen, 2003).

Glycosidases are a long known and studied class of glycoenzymes for which an enormous number of compounds have been tested as inhibitors (El Ashry et al., 2000aEl Ashry et al., 2000bEl Ashry et al., 2000cLillelund et al., 2002). Analogues of monosaccharides in which the ring oxygen is replaced by a nitrogen atom are known as iminosugars (or less properly azasugars) comprising both natural and synthetic molecules (Table 2) which, as the most potent inhibitors of glycosidases, have high pharmacological potential not only in the context of T2DM (Asano, 2009Compain & Martin, 2007).

The naturally occurring salacinol and analogous sugar mimics with a 4-thiofuranoid type ring (Table 2) belong to a growing class of zwitterionic glycosidase inhibitors, which attract great interest both as synthetic targets and applications for α-glucosidase inhibition (Praly & Vidal, 2010).

The positive charge on the sulfur atom in the thiosugar derivatives and in the iminosugar-based glycosidase inhibitors at physiological pH is facilitating the binding in the active sites of glycosidase enzymes as a mimicry of the charge of the oxocarbeniumion-like transition state formed during hydrolysis of the natural enzyme substrate (Zechel & Withers, 2000). The stabilizing electrostatic interactions between the ammonium (protonated nitrogen) or sulfonium (positively charged sulfur) moieties and an active-site carboxylate residue are considered to be a possible mechanism of action of these inhibitors (Mohan & Pinto, 2007).

Three competitive inhibitors of α-glucosidases: acarbose, miglitol, and voglibose (de Melo et al., 2006) (Table 3) are used as drugs in the treatment of T2DM under various brand names. These compounds are known to inhibit a wide range of glycosidases. In the absence of specificity and because of the known serious side effects, the applications of these first generation iminosugar drugs are limited. Current investigations aim at discovering safer, more specific, and effective iminosugar based derivatives not only as hypoglycemic agents but for several other purposes among others in oncology, as antivirals, and against cystic fibrosis as reviewed in (Home et al., 2011).

trelagliptin succinate

Compound I, A, TRELAGLIPTIN which has the formula:

Figure US20080227798A1-20080918-C00002

is a DPP-IV inhibitor that is described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/080,992 filed Mar. 15, 2005 (see Compound 34). Its dosing, administration and biological activities are described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/531,671 filed Sep. 13, 2006. U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/080,992 and Ser. No. 11/531,671 are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature EC.3.4.14.5) (referred herein as “DPP-IV”) is a type II membrane protein and a non-classical serine aminodipeptidase that removes Xaa-Pro dipeptides from the amino terminus (N-terminus) of polypeptides and proteins. DPP-IV is constitutively expressed on epithelial and endothelial cells of a variety of different tissues (e.g., intestine, liver, lung, kidney and placenta), and is also found in body fluids. DPP-IV is also expressed on circulating T-lymphocytes and has been shown to be synonymous with the cell-surface antigen, CD-26. DPP-IV has been implicated in a number of human disease states, including, but are not limit to, diabetes, particularly type II diabetes mellitus, diabetic dislipidemia, conditions of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), conditions of impaired fasting plasma glucose (IFG), metabolic acidosis, ketosis, appetite regulation and obesity; autoimmune diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis; AIDS; and cancers.

DPP-IV inhibitors are believed to be useful agents for the prevention, delay of progression, and/or treatment of conditions mediated by DPP-IV.

Compound (A) or a salt thereof has been reported as an inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP-IV) , which is an enzyme that decomposes glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) , a hormone increasing insulin secretion (patent document 1) .

In addition, a method including administering 1 – 250 mg of compound (A) or a salt thereof to a patient once per week (patent documents 2, 3), crystal polymorphs of compound (A) (patent documents 4, 5) , and a preparation of compound (A)

(patent documents 6, 7) have also been reported. Compound (A) and a salt thereof are recommended for oral administration in view of the easiness of self-administration, and a tablet, particularly a tablet in the dosage form for administration once per week, is desired. [0006]

The dosage form of once per week is expected to improve drug compliance of patients, whereas it requires supply of compound (A) or a salt thereof to patients in a high dose as compared to, for example, the dosage form of once per day. Since a solid preparation containing compound (A) or a salt thereof in a high dose increases its size, it may conversely degrade the drug compliance for patients, particularly infants and elderly patients having difficulty in swallowing

A mixture of 4-fluoro-2-methylbenzonitrile (2 g, 14.8 mmol), NBS (2.64 g, 15 mmol) and AIBN (100 mg) in CClwas refluxed under nitrogen for 2 hours. The reaction was cooled to room temperature. The solid was removed by filtration. The organic solution was concentrated to give crude product as an oil, which was used in the next step without further purification. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.68 (dd, J=5.2, 8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.28 (dd, J=2.4, 8.8 Hz, 1H), 7.12 (m, 1H), 4.6 (s, 2H).

Alternatively, 32 was made as follows.

4-Fluoro-2-methylbenzonitrile (1 kg) in DCE (2 L) was treated with AIBN (122 g) and heated to 75° C. A suspension of DBH (353 g) in DCE (500 mL) was added at 75° C. portionwise over 20 minutes. This operation was repeated 5 more times over 2.5 hours. The mixture was then stirred for one additional hour and optionally monitored for completion by, for example, measuring the amount of residual benzonitrile using HPLC. Additional AIBN (e.g., 12.5 g) was optionally added to move the reaction toward completion. Heating was stopped and the mixture was allowed to cool overnight. N,N-diisopropylethylamine (1.3 L) was added (at <10° C. over 1.5 hours) and then diethyl phosphite (1.9 L) was added (at <20° C. over 30 min). The mixture was then stirred for 30 minutes or until completion. The mixture was then washed with 1% sodium metabisulfite solution (5 L) and purified with water (5 L). The organic phase was concentrated under vacuum to afford 32 as a dark brown oil (3328 g), which was used without further purification (purity was 97% (AUC)).

2-(6-Chloro-3-methyl-2,4-dioxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrimidin-1-ylmethyl)-4-fluoro-benzonitrile (33).

The reaction was diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc. The organics were dried over MgSOand the solvent removed. The residue was purified by column chromatography. 0.66 g of the product was obtained (yield: 60%). 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.73 (dd, J=7.2, 8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.26 (d, J=4.0 Hz, 1H), 7.11-7.17 (m, 1H), 6.94 (dd, J=2.0, 9.0 Hz, 1H), 6.034 (s, 2H), 3.39 (s, 3H). MS (ES) [m+H] calc’d for C13H9ClFN3O2, 293.68; found 293.68.

Alternatively, 33 was made as follows.

To a solution of 6-chloro-3-methyluracil (750 g) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (998 mL) in NMP (3 L) was added (at <30° C. over 25 min) a solution of 32 (2963 g crude material containing 1300 g of 32 in 3 L of toluene).

Alternatively, the free base of 34 was prepared as follows. A mixture of 33 (1212 g), IPA (10.8 L), (R)-3-amino-piperidine dihydrochloride (785 g), purified water (78 mL) and potassium carbonate (2.5 kg, powder, 325 mesh) was heated at 60° C. until completion (e.g., for >20 hours) as determined, for example, by HPLC. Acetonitrile (3.6 L) was then added at 60° C. and the mixture was allowed to cool to <25° C. The resultant slurry was filtered under vacuum and the filter cake was washed with acetonitrile (2×3.6 L). The filtrate was concentrated at 45° C. under vacuum (for >3 hours) to afford 2.6 kg of the free base of 34.

HCL salt OF TRELAGLIPTIN

The HCl salt of 34 was prepared from the TFA salt as follows. The TFA salt (34) was suspended in DCM, and then washed with saturated Na2CO3. The organic layer was dried and removed in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in acetonitrile and HCl in dioxane (1.5 eq.) was added at 0° C. The HCl salt was obtained after removing the solvent. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD): δ. 7.77-7.84 (m, 1H), 7.12-7.26 (m, 2H), 5.47 (s, 1H), 5.21-5.32 (ABq, 2H, J=32.0, 16.0 Hz), 3.35-3.5 (m, 2H), 3.22 (s, 3H), 3.01-3.1 (m, 1H), 2.69-2.93 (m, 2H), 2.07-2.17 (m, 1H), 1.83-1.93 (m, 1H), 1.55-1.80 (m, 2H).

Alternatively, the HCl salt was prepared from the free base as follows. To a solution of free base in CH2Cl(12 L) was added (at <35° C. over 18 minutes) 2 M hydrochloric acid (3.1 L). The slurry was stirred for 1 hour and then filtered. The wet cake was washed with CH2Cl(3.6 L) and then THF (4.8 L). The wet cake was then slurried in THF (4.8 L) for one hour and then filtered. The filter cake was again washed with THF (4.8 L). The material was then dried in a vacuum oven at 50° C. (with a nitrogen bleed) until a constant weight (e.g., >26 hours) to afford 34 as the HCl salt as a white solid (1423 g, >85% yield).

Succinate salt OF TRELAGLIPTIN

Figure US20080227798A1-20080918-C00001

The succinate salt of 34 was prepared from the HCl salt as follows. To a mixture of the HCl salt of 34 (1414 g), CH2Cl(7 L) and purified water (14 L) was added 50% NaOH solution (212 mL) until the pH of the mixture was >12. The biphasic mixture was stirred for 30 min and the organic layer was separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl(5.7 L) and the combined organic layers were washed with purified water (6 L). The organic layer was then passed through an in-line filter and concentrated under vacuum at 30° C. over three hours to afford the free base as an off-white solid. The free base was slurried in prefiltered THF (15 L) and prefiltered IPA (5.5 L). The mixture was then heated at 60° C. until complete dissolution of the free base was observed. A prefiltered solution of succinic acid (446 g) in THF (7 L) was added (over 23 min) while maintaining the mixture temperature at >57° C. After stirring at 60° C. for 15 min, the heat was turned off, the material was allowed to cool, and the slurry was stirred for 12 hours at 25±5° C. The material was filtered under vacuum and the wet cake was washed with prefiltered IPA (2×4.2 L). The material was then dried in a vacuum oven at 70±5° C. (with a nitrogen bleed) for >80 hours to afford the succinate salt of 34 as a white solid (1546 g, >90% yield).

The product was also converted to a variety of corresponding acid addition salts. Specifically, the benzonitrile product (approximately 10 mg) in a solution of MeOH (1 mL) was treated with various acids (1.05 equivalents). The solutions were allowed to stand for three days open to the air. If a precipitate formed, the mixture was filtered and the salt dried. If no solid formed, the mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue isolated. In this way, salts of 34 were prepared from the following acids: benzoic, p-toluenesulfonic, succinic, R-(−)-Mandelic and benzenesulfonic. The succinate was found to be crystalline as determined by x-ray powder diffraction analysis.

 Methanesulfonate salt 

In addition, the methanesulfonate salt was prepared as follows. A 10.5 g aliquot of the benzonitrile product was mixed with 400 mL of isopropylacetate. The slurry was heated to 75° C. and filtered through #3 Whatman filter paper. The solution was heated back to 75° C. and a 1M solution of methanesulfonic acid (30.84 mL) was added slowly over 10 minutes while stirring. The suspension was cooled to room temperature at a rate of about 20° C./hr. After 1 hr at room temperature, the solid was filtered and dried in an oven overnight to obtain the methanesulfonate salt.

FORM A

Form A may be prepared by crystallization from the various solvents and under the various crystallization conditions used during the polymorph screen (e.g., fast and slow evaporation, cooling of saturated solutions, slurries, and solvent/antisolvent additions). Tables B and C of Example 3 summarize the procedures by which Form A was prepared. For example, Form A was obtained by room temperature slurry of an excess amount of Compound I in acetone, acetonitrile, dichloromethane, 1,4-dioxane, diethyl ether, hexane, methanol, isopropanol, water, ethylacetate, tetrahydrofuran, toluene, or other like solvents on a rotating wheel for approximately 5 or 7 days. The solids were collected by vacuum filtration, and air dried in the hood. Also, Form A was precipitated from a methanol solution of Compound I by slow evaporation (SE).

[0091] Form A was characterized by XRPD, TGA, hot stage microscopy, IR, Raman spectroscopy, solution 1H-NMR, and solid state 13C-NMR.

[0092] Figure 1 shows a characteristic XRPD spectrum (CuKa, λ=1.5418A) of Form A. The XRPD pattern confirmed that Form A was crystalline. Major X-Ray diffraction lines expressed in °2Θ and their relative intensities are summarized in Table 1.

General procedure for the preparation of salts of Compound I.

[0171] The benzonitrile product may be isolated as the free base if desired, but preferably, the product may be further converted to a corresponding acid addition salt. Specifically, the benzonitrile product (approximately 10 mg) in a solution of MeOH (1 mL) was treated with various acids (1.05 equivalents). The solutions were allowed to stand for three days open to the air. If a precipitate formed, the mixture was filtered and the salt dried. If no solid formed, the mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue isolated. In this way, salts of Compound I were prepared from the following acids: benzoic, p-toluenesulfonic, succinic, R-(-)-Mandelic and benzenesulfonic. [0172] The isolation and/or purification steps of the intermediate compounds in the above described process may optionally be avoided if the intermediates from the reaction mixture are obtained as relatively pure compounds and the by-products or impurities of the reaction mixture do not interfere with the subsequent reaction steps. Where feasible, one or more isolation steps may be eliminated to provide shorter processing times, and the elimination of further processing may also afford higher overall reaction yields.
