Cipla introduces Serroflo for respiratory treatment in Germany and Sweden

September 4, 2014 3:19 am / 1 Comment on Cipla introduces Serroflo for respiratory treatment in Germany and Sweden


India-based Cipla has introduced Serroflo (salmeterol/fluticasone MDI) in Germany and Sweden to treat patients suffering from asthma.

 

 

 

Serroflo is expected to improve the affordability of fixed combinations in Europe and help manage health costs for respiratory treatment.

Cipla Europe head Frank Pieters said: “With Serroflo, we offer in Germany and Sweden an alternative, which is effective and efficient and therefore brings many advantages into a market, which suffers from limited resources.”

The new product is available under the name Serroflo in Germany, while it is introduced as Salmeterol/Fluticasone Cipla in Sweden.

Cipla’s shares have vaulted to a record high after the launch of first of its combination inhalers in Germany and Sweden that marked its entry into Europe. Analysts say the launch will lead to a gradual rerating of the stock of the drug maker which has been underperforming its peers.

Strides Arcolab’s HIV drug, which is generic version of Gilead Sciences’ Truvada, gets tentative approval from the US FDA.

Tentative approval implies that the drug has met all standards but cannot be marketed in the US due to existing patent protections Good news for HIV AIDS patients

FDA has granted tentative approval to India-based Strides Arcolab’s HIV drug emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets, 200 mg/300 mg. The drug is a generic version of Truvada, 200 mg/300 mg tablets, which is manufactured by Gilead Sciences.

The product is indicated for use in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1

The selective tosylation of L-gulose with tosyl chloride in pyridine, followed by complete acetylation with acetic anhydride gives tetraacetyl-6-O-tosyl-L-gulose (II), which is treated with HBr in AcOH to yield the bromo derivative (III ). The reaction of (III) with potassium O-ethylxanthate in refluxing acetone, followed by deacetylation with NH4OH in methanol affords 1,6-thioanhydro-L-gulopyranose (IV). The selective oxidative cleavage of (IV) by means of NaIO4 , followed by reduction with NaBH4 and protection of the resulting diol with acetone and TsOH provides the acetonide (V), which is silylated at the primary OH group with TBDMS-Cl giving the silyl ether (VI). Elimination of the acetonide group with TsOH in methanol yields the diol (VII), which is cleaved with Pb (OAc) 4 and oxidized with PDC in DMF to afford the carboxylic acid (VIII). The treatment of (VII) with Pb (OAc) 4/pyridine in THF furnishes the diacetate (IX), which is condensed with N4-acetyl-5-fluoro-O-(trimethylsilyl) cytosine (X) by means of TBDMS-OTf in dichloromethane yielding a mixture of the desired (-) (2R, 5S) – isomer (XI) along with its (+) – (2R, 5R)-isomer that is separated by column chromatography. Finally, deacetylation of (XI) with ammonia in methanol, followed by desilylation with TBAF in THF afforded the target compound.

Lenalidomide

REVLIMID® is an oral immunomodulatory drug marketed in the United States and many international markets, in combination with dexamethasone, for treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior therapy. It is also marketed in the United States and certain international markets for the treatment of transfusion-dependent anemia due to low- or intermediate-1-risk myelodysplastic syndromes, or MDS, associated with a deletion 5q cytogenetic abnormality with or without additional cytogenetic abnormalitie.Revlimid Worldwide annual sales in 2011 was $3.2bLenalidomide (Revlimid) is a derivative of thalidomideintroduced in 2004.It was initially intended as a treatment for multiple myeloma, for which thalidomide is an accepted therapeutic treatment. Lenalidomide has also shown efficacy in the class of hematological disorders known as myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Lenalidomide has significantly improved overall survival in myeloma (which generally carries a poor prognosis), although toxicity remains an issue for users. [1]It costs $163,381 per year for the average patient.[2]

Lenalidomide has been used to successfully treat both inflammatory disorders and cancers in the past 10 years. There are multiple mechanisms of action, and they can be simplified by organizing them as mechanisms of action in vitro and in vivo.[3] In vitro, lenalidomide has three main activities: direct anti-tumor effect, inhibition of the microenvironment support for tumor cells, and immunomodulatory role. In vivo, lenalidomide induces tumor cell apoptosis directly and indirectly by inhibition of bone marrow stromal cell support, by anti-angiogenic and anti-osteoclastogenic effects, and by immunomodulatory activity. Lenalidomide has a broad range of activities that can be exploited to treat many hematologic and solid cancers.
