PHASE 2… CANCER

Uprosertib, also known as GSK2141795 and GSK795, is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of the serine/threonine protein kinase Akt (protein kinase B) with potential antineoplastic activity.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is evaluating the compound in phase II clinical studies for the treatment of endometrial carcinoma and multiple myeloma in combination with trametinib.

GSK-2141795, an oral AKT inhibitor, is in early clinical trials at GlaxoSmithKline for the treatment of solid tumors and lymphoma. The company is conducting phase II clinical trials for the treatment of patients with BRAF wild-type mutation melanoma and for the treatment of recurrent or persistent cervical cancer in combination with trametinib.

Akt inhibitor GSK2141795 binds to and inhibits the activity of Akt, which may result in inhibition of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and tumor cell proliferation and the induction of tumor cell apoptosis. Activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway is frequently associated with tumorigenesis and dysregulated PI3K/Akt signaling may contribute to tumor resistance to a variety of antineoplastic agents.

Name: Evocalcet
CAS#: 870964-67-3
Chemical Formula: C24H26N2O2
Exact Mass: 374.19943

Evocalcet is a calcium-sensing receptor agonist. The calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) is a Class C G-protein coupled receptor which senses extracellular levels of calcium ion. The calcium-sensing receptor controls calcium homeostasis by regulating the release of parathyroid hormone (PTH). CaSR is expressed in all of the organs of the digestive system. CaSR plays a key role in gastrointestinal physiological function and in the occurrence of digestive disease. High dietary Ca2+ may stimulate CaSR activation and could both inhibit tumor development and increase the chemotherapeutic sensitivity of cancer cells in colon cancer tissues.

　Renin – angiotensin II receptor antagonists are inhibitors of angiotensin system is particularly effective in renin-dependent hypertension, and show a protective effect against cardiovascular and renal failure. Also, the calcium antagonists, and by the function of the calcium channel antagonizes (inhibits), since it has a natriuretic action in addition to the vasodilating action, is effective for hypertension fluid retention properties (renin-independent) .

　Therefore, the MR antagonist, when combined angiotensin II receptor antagonists or calcium antagonists, it is possible to suppress the genesis of multiple hypertension simultaneously, therapeutic or prophylactic effect of the stable and sufficient hypertension irrespective of the etiology is expected to exhibit.

　Also, diuretics are widely used as a medicament for the treatment or prevention of such hypertension or heart disease. Diuretic agent is effective in the treatment of hypertension from its diuretic effect. Therefore, if used in combination MR antagonists and diuretics, the diuretic effect of diuretics, it is possible to suppress the genesis of multiple blood pressure at the same time, shows a therapeutic or prophylactic effect of the stable and sufficient hypertension irrespective of the etiology it is expected.

　1- (2-hydroxyethyl) -4-methyl -N- [4- (methylsulfonyl) phenyl] -5- [2- (trifluoromethyl) phenyl] -1H- pyrrole-3-carboxamide (hereinafter, compound ( I)) is, it is disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, hypertension, for the treatment of such diabetic nephropathy are known to be useful.

CS-3150 (XL550) is a small-molecule antagonist of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), a nuclear hormone receptor implicated in a variety of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. MR antagonists can be used to treat hypertension and congestive heart failure due to their vascular protective effects. Recent studies have also shown beneficial effects of adding MR antagonists to the treatment regimen for Type II diabetic patients with nephropathy. CS-3150 is a non-steroidal, selective MR antagonist that has the potential for the treatment of hypertension, congestive heart failure, or end organ protection due to vascular damage.

Useful as a mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonist, for treating hypertension, cardiac failure and diabetic nephropathy. It is likely to be CS-3150, a non-steroidal MR antagonist, being developed by Daiichi Sankyo (formerly Sankyo), under license from Exelixis, for treating hypertension and diabetic nephropathy (phase 2 clinical, as of March 2015). In January 2015, a phase II trial for type 2 diabetes mellitus and microalbuminuria was planned to be initiated later that month (NCT02345057).

Exelixis discovered CS-3150 and out-licensed the compound to Daiichi-Sankyo. Two phase 2a clinical trials, one in hypertensive patients and the other in type 2 diabetes with albuminuria, are currently being conducted in Japan by Daiichi-Sankyo.

Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) (aldosterone receptor) has been known to play an important role in the control of body electrolyte balance and blood pressure, spironolactone having a steroid structure, MR antagonists such as eplerenone, are known to be useful in the treatment of hypertension-heart failure.

Daiichi Sankyo (formerly Sankyo), under license from Exelixis, is developing CS-3150 (XL-550), a non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonist, for the potential oral treatment of hypertension and diabetic nephropathy, microalbuminuria , By October 2012, phase II development had begun ; in May 2014, the drug was listed as being in phase IIb development .

(Example 3)(+/-)-1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-methyl-N-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-5-[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxamide

After methyl 4-methyl-5-[2-(trifluoromethyl) phenyl]-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate was obtained by the method described in Example 16 of WO 2006/012642 , the following reaction was performed using this compound as a raw material.
Methyl 4-methyl-5-[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate (1.4 g, 4.9 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (12 mL), and a 5 M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (10 mL) was added thereto, and the resulting mixture was heated under reflux for 3 hours. After the mixture was cooled to room temperature, formic acid (5 mL) was added thereto to stop the reaction. After the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, water (10 mL) was added thereto to suspend the resulting residue. The precipitated solid was collected by filtration and washed 3 times with water. The obtained solid was dried under reduced pressure, whereby 4-methyl-5-[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid (1.1 g, 83%) was obtained as a solid. The thus obtained solid was suspended in dichloromethane (10 mL), oxalyl chloride (0.86 mL, 10 mmol) was added thereto, and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. After the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, the residue was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL), and 4-(methylsulfonyl)aniline hydrochloride (1.0 g, 4.9 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (2.8 mL, 16 mmol) were sequentially added to the solution, and the resulting mixture was heated under reflux for 18 hours. After the mixture was cooled to room temperature, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and acetonitrile (10 mL) and 3 M hydrochloric acid (100 mL) were added to the residue. A precipitated solid was triturated, collected by filtration and washed with water, and then, dried under reduced pressure, whereby 4-methyl-N-[4-(methylsulfonyl) phenyl]-5-[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxamide (1.4 g, 89%) was obtained as a solid.

Burixafor is a potent and selective chemokine CXCR4 antagonist developed by TaiGen Biotechnology (www.taigenbiotech.com.tw).

The SDF1/CXCR4 pathway plays key roles in homing and mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells and endothelial progenitor cells. In a mouse model, burixafor efficiently mobilizes stem cells (CD34+) and endothelial progenitor cells (CD133+) from bone marrow into peripheral circulation. It can be used in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, chemotherapy sensitization and other ischemic diseases.

Because TaiGen has filed an IND (CXHL1200371) for burixafor as a chemotherapy sensitizer in October 2012, the new application (CXHL1400844) may supplement a new indication. Phase II clinical trials (NCT02104427) are currently underway in the US, with Phase IIa (NCT01018979, NCT01458288) already completed.

TaiGen plans to initiate clinical trials of burixafor as a chemotherapy sensitizer in China shortly. Burixafor’s annual sales are estimated at $1.1 billion by consultancy company JSB. This compound is protected by patent WO2009131598.

According to Dr. Ming-Chu Hsu, Chairman and CEO of TaiGen, “R&D is the foundation of the pharmaceutical industry. Once a drug is successfully developed, players at all levels of the value chain could reap the benefit. Burixafor is a 100% in-house developed product that can be used in the treatment of various intractable diseases. The cooperation between TaiGen and ScinoPharm will not only be a win-win for both sides, but will also provide high-quality novel dug for patients from around the world.”

Burixafor is a novel stem cell mobilizer that can efficiently mobilize bone marrow stem cells and tissue precursor cells to the peripheral blood. It can be used in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, chemotherapy sensitization and other ischemic diseases. The results of the ongoing Phase II clinical trial in the United States are very impressive. The drug has received a Clinical Trial Application from China’s FDA for the initiation of a Phase II clinical trial in chemotherapy sensitization under the 1.1 category. According to the pharmaceutical consultancy company JSB, with only stem cell transplant and chemotherapy sensitizer as the indicator, Burixafor’s annual sales are estimated at USD1.1 billion.

ScinoPharm currently has accepted over 80 new drug API process research and development plans, of which five new drugs have been launched in the market. In addition, six products have entered Phase III clinical trials. Through the Changshu Plant’s operation in line with the latest international cGMP plant equipment and quality management standards, the company provides customers with one stop shopping services in professional R&D, manufacturing, and outsourcing, thereby shortening the customer development cycle of customers’ products and accelerating the launch of new products to the market.

TaiGen’s focus is on the research and development of novel drugs. Besides Burixafor, the products also include anti-infective, Taigexyn®, and an anti-hepatitis C drug, TG-2349. Taigexyn® is the first in-house developed novel drug that received new drug application approval from Taiwan’s FDA. TG-2349 is intended for the 160 million global patients with hepatitis C with huge market potential. TaiGen hopes to file one IND with the US FDA every 3-4 years to expand TaiGen’s product line.

BACKGROUND

Chemokines are a family of cytokines that regulate the adhesion and transendothelial migration of leukocytes during an immune or inflammatory reaction (Mackay C.R., Nat. Immunol, 2001, 2:95; Olson et al, Am. J. Physiol. Regul. Integr. Comp. Physiol, 2002, 283 :R7). Chemokines also regulate T cells and B cells trafficking and homing, and contribute to the development of lymphopoietic and hematopoietic systems (Ajuebor et al, Biochem. Pharmacol, 2002, 63:1191). Approximately 50 chemokines have been identified in humans. They can be classified into 4 subfamilies, i.e., CXC, CX3C, CC, and C chemokines, based on the positions of the conserved cysteine residues at the N-terminal (Onuffer et al, Trends Pharmacol ScI, 2002, 23:459). The biological functions of chemokines are mediated by their binding and activation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) on the cell surface.

Stromal-derived factor- 1 (SDF-I) is a member of CXC chemokines. It is originally cloned from bone marrow stromal cell lines and found to act as a growth factor for progenitor B cells (Nishikawa et al, Eur. J. Immunol, 1988, 18:1767). SDF-I plays key roles in homing and mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells and endothelial progenitor cells (Bleul et al, J. Exp. Med., 1996, 184:1101; and Gazzit et al, Stem Cells, 2004, 22:65-73). The physiological function of SDF-I is mediated by CXCR4 receptor. Mice lacking SDF-I or CXCR4 receptor show lethal abnormality in bone marrow myelopoiesis, B cell lymphopoiesis, and cerebellar development (Nagasawa et al, Nature, 1996, 382:635; Ma et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. ScI, 1998, 95:9448; Zou et al, Nature, 1998, 393:595; Lu et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. ScI, 2002, 99:7090). CXCR4 receptor is expressed broadly in a variety of tissues, particularly in immune and central nervous systems, and has been described as the major co-receptor for HIV- 1/2 on T lymphocytes. Although initial interest in CXCR4 antagonism focused on its potential application to AIDS treatment (Bleul et al, Nature, 1996, 382:829), it is now becoming clear that CXCR4 receptor and SDF-I are also involved in other pathological conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and tumor metastases (Buckley et al., J. Immunol., 2000, 165:3423). Recently, it has been reported that a CXCR4 antagonist and an anticancer drug act synergistically in inhibiting cancer such as acute promuelocutic leukemia (Liesveld et al., Leukemia

Research 2007, 31 : 1553). Further, the CXCR4/SDF-1 pathway has been shown to be critically involved in the regeneration of several tissue injury models. Specifically, it has been found that the SDF-I level is elevated at an injured site and CXCR4-positive cells actively participate in the tissue regenerating process.

A solution of compound 1-V (806 g) and Et3N (1010 g, 3 eq) in 1-pentanol

(2.7 L) was treated with compound 1-VI, 540 g, 1 eq) at 900C for 15 hours. TLC showed that the reaction was completed. Ethyl acetate (1.5 L) was added to the reaction mixture at 25°C. The solution was stirred for 1 hour. The Et3NHCl salt was filtered. The filtrate was then concentrated to 1.5 L (1/6 of original volume) by vacuum at 500C. Then, diethyl ether (2.5 L) was added to the concentrated solution to afford the desired product 1-VII (841 g, 68% yield) after filtration at 250C .

A solution of intermediate 1-VII (841 g) was treated with 4 N HCl/dioxane (2.7 L) in MeOH (8.1 L) and stirred at 25°C for 15 hours. TLC showed that the reaction was completed. The mixture was concentrated to 1.5 L (1/7 of original volume) by vacuum at 500C. Then, diethyl ether (5 L) was added to the solution slowly, and HCl salt of 1-VIII (774 g) was formed, filtered, and dried under vacuum (<10 torr). For neutralization, K2CO3 (2.5 kg, 8 eq) was added to the solution of HCl salt of 1-VIII in MeOH (17 L) at 25°C. The mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 3 hours (pH > 12) and filtered (estimated amount of 1-VIII in the filtrate is 504 g). Aldehyde 1-IX (581 g, 1.0 eq based on mole of 1-VII) was added to the filtrate of 1-VIII at 0-100C. The reaction was stirred at 0-100C for 3 hours. TLC showed that the reaction was completed. Then, NaBH4 (81 g, 1.0 eq based on mole of 1-VII) was added at less than 100C and the solution was stirred at 10-150C for Ih. The solution was concentrated to get a residue, which then treated with CH2Cl2 (15 L). The mixture was washed with saturated aq. NH4Cl solution (300 mL) diluted with H2O (1.2 L). The CH2Cl2 layer was concentrated and the residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (short column, EtOAc as mobile phase for removing other components; MeOH/28% NH4OH = 97/3 as mobile phase for collecting 1-X) afforded crude 1-X (841 g). Then Et3N (167 g, leq) and BoC2O (360 g, leq) were added to the solution of

1-X (841 g) in CH2Cl2 (8.4 L) at 25°C. The mixture was stirred at 25°C for 15 hours. After the reaction was completed as evidenced by TLC, the solution was concentrated and EtOAc (5 L) was added to the resultant residue. The solution was concentrated to 3L (1/2 of the original volume) under low pressure at 500C. Then, n-hexane (3 L) was added to the concentrated solution. The solid product formed at 500C by seeding to afford the desired crude product 1-XI (600 g, 60% yield) after filtration and evaporation. To compound 1-XI (120.0 g) and piperazine (1-XII, 50.0 g, 3 eq) in 1- pentanol (360 niL) was added Et3N (60.0 g, 3.0 eq) at 25°C. The mixture was stirred at 1200C for 8 hours. Ethyl acetate (480 mL) was added to the reaction mixture at 25°C. The solution was stirred for Ih. The Et3NHCl salt was filtered and the solution was concentrated and purified by silica gel (EtOAc/MeOH = 2:8) to afforded 1-XIII (96 g) in a 74% yield.

A solution of compound 8-IV (1.1 g) and Et3N (1.7 g) in 1-pentanol (10 ml) was reacted with 2,4-dichloro-6-aminopyrimidine (1-VI, 910 mg) at 90° C. for 15 hours. TLC showed that the reaction was completed. Ethyl acetate (10 mL) was added to the reaction mixture at 25° C. The solution was stirred for 1 hour. The Et3NHCl salt was removed. The filtrate was concentrated and purified by silica gel (EtOAc/Hex=1:2) to afford the desired product 8-V (1.1 g, 65% yield).

A solution of intermediate 8-V (1.1 g) was treated with 4 N HCl/dioxane (10 ml) in MeOH (10 ml) and stirred at 25° C. for 15 hours. TLC showed that the reaction was completed. The mixture was concentrated, filtered, and dried under vacuum (<10 ton). For neutralization, K2CO3 (3.2 g) was added to the solution of HCl salt in MeOH (20 ml) at 25° C. The mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 3 hours (pH>12) and filtered. Aldehyde 1-IX (759 mg) was added to the filtrate at 0-10° C. The reaction was stirred at 0-10° C. for 3 hours. TLC showed that the reaction was completed. Then, NaBH4 (112 mg) was added at less than 10° C. and the solution was stirred at 10-15° C. for 1 hour. The solution was concentrated to get a residue, which was then treated with CH2Cl2 (10 mL). The mixture was washed with saturated NH4Cl (aq) solution. The CH2Cl2 layer was concentrated and the residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (MeOH/28% NH4OH=97/3) to afford intermediate 8-VI (1.0 g, 66% yield).

Et3N (600 mg) and Boc2O (428 mg) were added to the solution of 8-VI (1.0 g) in CH2Cl2 (10 ml) at 25° C. The mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 15 hours. TLC showed that the reaction was completed. The solution was concentrated and purified by chromatography on silica gel (EtOAc/Hex=1:1) to afford intermediate 8-VII (720 mg, 60% yield).

To a solution compound 8-VII (720 mg) and piperazine (1-XII, 1.22 g) in 1-pentanol (10 mL) was added Et3N (1.43 g) at 25° C. The mixture was stirred at 120° C. for 24 hours. TLC showed that the reaction was completed. Ethyl acetate (20 mL) was added at 25° C. The solution was stirred for 1 hour. The Et3NHCl salt was removed and the solution was concentrated and purified by silica gel (EtOAc/MeOH=2:8) to afford 8-VIII (537 mg) in 69% yield.

To a solution of 8-VIII (537 mg) in MeOH (11 ml) was added diethyl vinyl phosphonate (2-I, 201 mg) at 25° C. The mixture was stirred under 65° C. for 24 hours. TLC and HPLC showed that the reaction was completed. The solution was concentrated and purified by silica gel (MeOH/CH2Cl2=1:9) to get 8-IX (380 mg) in a 57% yield.

To a solution of 8-IX (210 mg) in CH2Cl2 (5 ml) was added TMSBr (312 mg) at 10-15° C. for 1 hour. The mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 15 hours. The solution was concentrated to remove TMSBr and solvent under vacuum at 40° C., then, CH2Cl2 was added to dissolve the residue. Then TMSBr and solvent were further removed under vacuum and CH2Cl2 was added for four times repeatedly. The solution was concentrated to get hydrobromide salt of compound 8 (190 mg).

To do a job well is one thing, but to consistently deliver a product that is nearly flawless is quite a different challenge. For its new molecule burixafor, the Taiwanese drug discovery firm TaiGen Biotechnology instructed its contract manufacturing partners to achieve 99.8% purity in the production of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API).

Discovered in TaiGen’s labs in 2006, burixafor is in Phase II clinical trials in both the U.S. and China for use in stem cell transplants and cancer chemotherapy. Avecia, a unit of Japan’s Nitto Denko, manufactures the drug substance in the U.S., where burixafor was tested for the first time on human patients. When TaiGen later initiated clinical trials in China, it chose the Taiwanese firm ScinoPharm to produce the drug at its plant in Changshu, near Shanghai. Under Chinese law, only drugs made domestically can be tested in China.

NITTO DENKO Avecia Inc.

It is rare for a drug discovery firm to select two companies to scale up the production of a new molecule. TaiGen went one step further by paying both contract manufacturers to reach an extremely high level of purity.

“We are trying to avoid any unwanted side effects during the trials,” says C. Richard King, TaiGen’s senior vice president of research. Drug regulators in the U.S. and China “need very tight specifications these days for new drugs,” he adds.

TaiGen registered burixafor with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration in 2007. When it contracted Girindus America (bought by Avecia in 2013) to manufacture it that year, TaiGen specified purification by column chromatography, a cumbersome and relatively expensive procedure when carried out on a large scale. “Our process development efforts were racing against the clinical trials launch schedule,” King recalls. Column chromatography, he points out, is a “tedious approach, but it works.”

By the time ScinoPharm was hired last year, TaiGen’s process development team had come up with a simpler and more elegant process. But its purity demands hadn’t changed.

“Usually, clients are satisfied with a purity level of 98% to 99%,” says Koksuan Tang, head of operations at ScinoPharm’s Changshu plant. “To go from 99% to 99.8% is very different.” The manufacturing of burixafor, he adds, involves five chemical steps and two purification steps. Upstream of the API, ScinoPharm also produces burixafor’s starting material.

Purity level aside, burixafor is not a particularly difficult compound to make, Tang says. Nonetheless, the process supplied by TaiGen had to be adjusted for larger-scale production. “If you heat up 10 g in the lab, it takes two minutes, but in a plant, it could take as long as two hours,” he says.

Although, while hydrogen chloride gas can be controlled effectively when making minute quantities of a compound in the lab, it’s another challenge to handle large volumes of the toxic substance at the plant level. To safely execute one reaction step, ScinoPharm dissolved HCl in a special solvent that does not affect the purity profile of burixafor.

TaiGen selected ScinoPharm as its China contractor after a careful process that involved two visits to Changshu by TaiGen’s senior managers, Tang recalls. ScinoPharm’s track record of meeting regulatory requirements in different countries, including China, was a plus, Tang believes. Its ability to produce both for clinical trials and in larger quantities after commercial launch was also decisive.

Operational since 2012, ScinoPharm’s Changshu site can deliver products under Good Manufacturing Practices in quantities ranging from grams to kilograms. It employs 220 people.

“Moving from the single-kilogram quantities we make now to hundreds of kilograms will require some adjustment to the process, but we believe we can deliver,” says Tang’s colleague Sing Ping Lee, senior director of product technical support in Changshu. One thing to keep in mind, he notes, is that Chinese regulatory standards for drug production are actually more restrictive than those in the U.S. or Europe, going so far as specifying what equipment manufacturers need to use.

Other than complying with Chinese regulators, one reason TaiGen needed to carefully select its China contractor is that the two companies could well be long-term partners, since TaiGen believes it has the ability to market the drug on its own in China, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. In the event of approvals elsewhere, TaiGen plans to license the compound to a large drug company, which may or may not stick with ScinoPharm or Avecia.

Relatively unknown outside Taiwan, TaiGen was formed in 2001 by Ming-Chu Hsu, the founder of the Division of Biotechnology & Pharmaceutical Research at Taiwan’s National Health Research Institutes. The holder of a Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, she headed oncology and virology research at Roche for more than 10 years before returning to Taiwan in 1998.

Ming-Chu Hsu, Chairman & CEO, TaiGen Biotechnology, Taiwan

TaiGen employs about 80 people, three-quarters of whom are in R&D. The company develops its own drugs in-house and also in-licenses molecules that are in early stages of development. The company licenses out the molecules for the European Union and U.S. markets but seeks to retain Asian marketing rights. Burixafor was discovered in TaiGen’s own labs in Taipei. To come up with it, researchers used a high-throughput screening approach that involved 130,000 compounds, including the design and synthesis of 1,500 new compounds. “It went back and forth between chemistry and biology many times,” recalls King, TaiGen’s research head.

A so-called CXCR4 chemokine receptor antagonist, burixafor mobilizes hematopoietic stem cells and endothelial progenitor cells in human bone marrow and channels them into the peripheral blood within three hours of ingestion, according to results of Phase I and Phase II trials.

In the U.S., burixafor is undergoing clinical trials for use during stem cell transplantation in patients with multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, or Hodgkin’s disease. In China, TaiGen is testing it as a chemotherapy sensitizer in relapsed or refractory adult acute myeloid leukemia.

Owing to its activity on CXCR4 chemokine receptors, the drug could also fight age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy diseases, as well as find use in tissue repair, King says. For clinical trials in the U.S., TaiGen has partnered with Michael W. Schuster, a medical doctor who conducts research at Stony Brook University Hospital in New York.

Dr. Michael Schuster is Gift of Life’s Medical Director, as well as the Director of the Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Program and Hematologic Malignancy Program of Stony Brook University Hospital in New York

TaiGen sees particular potential for burixafor in stem cell applications. For example, patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation often must take a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor plus a Sanofi drug called Mozobil to stimulate stem cell production. TaiGen says burixafor could accomplish this goal on its own in multiple myeloma patients. It cites one consulting firm forecast that puts eventual sales at more than $1 billion per year.

With that kind of potential, the company is counting on significant interest among licensors, any one of which might want to engage its own contract producer of burixafor. If that happens, a third manufacturer will have to learn to reach 99.8% purity.

Scinopharm

ScinoPharm (Changshu) Pharmaceuticals, Ltd.

ScinoPharm is currently expanding its manufacturing and process development capabilities by adding significant production and technical capacity in Mainland China at its new Changshu site.

ScinoPharm Changshu is located in the Changshu Economic Development Zone (CEDZ), near Suzhou City, Jingsu Province, China on a 6.6-hectare site.

The facilities will include a R&D centre and production plants fully compliant with U.S. and international GMP standards. The Changshu plant, slated to be fully completed by 2012, will be used for the production of GMP grade pharmaceutical intermediates initially, and later be equipped to handle API production. China’s market for better quality APIs has grown considerably, and local formulation companies are encouraged to utilize APIs from companies having DMFs filed in advanced countries. ScinoPharm had closed its site in Kunshan and relocated the production and R&D groups to Changshu in the 4th quarter of 2011. These groups will continue to be expanded to meet growing demand for ScinoPharm products by both multinational and local formulation companies.

The small and medium-sized production units had been operational in the 4th quarter of 2011. The large production Bays plus a peptide purification unit, a high potency unit and a physical property processing facility will be operational by the end of 2012. Using advanced engineering designs, this site will also have the capability to process high potency, injectable grade products.

ScinoPharm Changshu will adopt the same quality systems as ScinoPharm Taiwan, and will therefore comply with ICH guidelines and FDA 21 CFR Parts 210 & 211.

GIVINOSTAT

Givinostat (INN^[1]) or gavinostat (originally ITF2357) is a histone deacetylase inhibitor with potential anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic, and antineoplastic activities.^[2] It is a hydroxamate used in the form of its hydrochloride.

Givinostat is in numerous phase II clinical trials (including for relapsed leukemias and myelomas),^[3] and has been granted orphan drug designation in the European Union for the treatment of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis^[4] and polycythaemia vera.^[5]

In 2010, orphan drug designation was assigned in the E.U. for the treatment of systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis and for the treatment of polycythemia vera. In 2013, this designation was assigned by the FDA for the treatment of Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy and for the treatment of Becker’s muscular dystrophy.

ITF2357 was discovered at Italfarmaco of Milan, Italy. It was patented in 1997 and first described in the scientific literature in 2005.^[6]^[7]

Givinostat hydrochloride, an orally active, synthetic inhibitor of histone deacetylase, is being evaluated in several early clinical studies at Italfarmaco, including studies for the treatment of myeloproliferative diseases, polycythemia vera, Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy and periodic fever syndrome. The company was also conducting clinical trials for the treatment of Crohn’s disease and chronic lymphocytic leukemia; however, the trials were terminated.

No recent development has been reported for research into the treatment of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, for the treatment of multiple myeloma and for the treatment of Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Muscular dystrophies (MDs) include a heterogeneous group of genetic diseases invariably leading to muscle degeneration and impaired function. Mutation of nearly 30 genes gives rise to various forms of muscular dystrophy, which differ in age of onset, severity, and muscle groups affected (Dalkilic I, Kunkel LM. (2003) Muscular dystrophies: genes to pathogenesis. Curr. Opin. Genet. Dev. 13:231-238). The most common MD is the Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a severe recessive X-linked disease which affects one in 3,500 males, characterized by rapid progression of muscle degeneration, eventually leading to loss of ambulation and death within the second decade of life.

Attempts to replace or correct the mutated gene, by means of gene or cell therapy, might result in a definitive solution for muscular dystrophy, but this is not easy to achieve. Alternative strategies that prevent or delay muscle degeneration, reduce inflammation or promote muscle metabolism or regeneration might all benefit patients and, in the. future, synergize with gene or cell therapy. Steroids that reduce inflammation are currently the only therapeutic tool used in the majority of DMD patients (Cossu G, Sampaolesi M . (2007) New therapies for Duchenne muscular dystrophy: challenges, prospects and clinical trials. TRENDS Mol . Med. 13:520-526).

Diethyl- [ 6- ( 4-hydroxycarbamoyl-phenyl-carbamoyloxy- methyl ) -naphthalen-2-yl-methyl ] -ammonium chloride , which is described in WO 97/43251 (anhydrous form) and in WO 2004/065355 (monohydrate crystal form), herein both incorporated by reference, is an anti-inflammatory agent which is able to inhibit the synthesis of the majority of pro-inflammatory cytokines whilst sparing anti-inflammatory ones. Diethyl- [ 6- ( 4-hydroxycarbamoyl-phenyl-carbamoyloxy- methyl ) -naphthalen-2-yl-methyl ] -ammonium chloride is also known as ITF2357.

The monohydrate crystal form of diethyl- [ 6- ( 4- hydroxycarbamoyl-phenyl-carbamoyloxy-methy1 ) – naphthalen-2-yl-methyl ] -ammonium chloride is known as Givinostat .

Givinostat is being evaluated in several clinical studies, including studies for the treatment of myeloproliferative diseases, polycythemia vera, periodic fever syndrome, Crohn’s disease and systemic- onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Orphan drug designation was assigned in the E.U. for the treatment of systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis and for the treatment of polycythemia vera.

Givinostat has been recently found to act also as a Histone Deacetylase inhibitor (WO 2011/048514).

Histone deacetylases ( HDAC ) are a family of enzymes capable of removing the acetyl group bound to the lysine residues in the N-terminal portion of histones or in other proteins.

HDACs can be subdivided into four classes, on the basis of structural homologies. Class I HDACs (HDAC 1, 2, 3 and 8) are similar to the RPD3 yeast protein and are located in the cell nucleus. Class II HDACs (HDAC 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10) are similar to the HDA1 yeast protein and are located both in the nucleus and in the cytoplasm. Class III HDACs are a structurally distinct form of NAD-dependent enzymes correlated with the SIR2 yeast protein. Class IV (HDAC 11) consists at the moment of a single enzyme having particular structural characteristics. The HDACs of classes I, II and IV are zinc enzymes and can be inhibited by various classes of molecule: hydroxamic acid derivatives, cyclic tetrapeptides , short-chain fatty acids, aminobenzamides , derivatives of electrophilic ketones, and the like. Class III HDACs are not inhibited by hydroxamic acids, and their inhibitors have structural characteristics different from those of the other classes .

The expression “histone deacetylase inhibitor” in relation to the present invention is to be understood as meaning any molecule of natural, recombinant or synthetic origin capable of inhibiting the activity of at least one of the enzymes classified as histone deacetylases of class I, class II or class IV.

Although HDAC inhibitors, as a class, are considered to be potentially useful as anti-tumor agents, it is worth to note that, till now, only two of them (Vorinostat and Romidepsin) have been approved as drugs for the cure of a single tumor form (Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma ) .

It is evident that the pharmaceutical properties of each HDAC inhibitor may be different and depend on the specific profile of inhibitory potency, relative to the diverse iso-enzymes as well as on the particular pharmacokinetic behaviour and tissue distribution.

Some HDAC inhibitors have been claimed to be potentially useful, in combination with other agents, for the treatment of DMD (WO 2003/033678, WO 2004/050076, Consalvi S. et al. Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors in the Treatment of Muscular Dystrophies: Epigenetic Drugs for Genetic Diseases. (2011) Mol. Med. 17 : 457-465 ) .

The potential therapeutic use of HDAC inhibitors in DMD may however be hampered by the possible harmful effects of these relatively toxic agents, especially when used for long-term therapies in paediatric patients .

Givinostat, as anti-inflammatory agent, has been already used in a phase II study in children with Systemic Onset Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis; Givinostat administered at 1.5 mg/kg/day for twelve weeks achieved ACR Pedi 30, 50 and 70 improvement of approximately 70% (Vojinovic J, Nemanja D. (2011) HDAC Inhibition in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. Mol. Med 17:397-403) showing only a limited number of mild or moderate but short lasting, adverse effects.

To date more than 500 patients (including 29 children) have been treated with Givinostat. Repeated dose toxicity studies were carried out in dogs, rats and monkeys. Oral daily doses of the drug were administered up to nine consecutive months. The drug was well tolerated with no overt toxicity at high doses. The “no adverse effect levels” (NOAEL) ranged from 10 to 25 mg/kg/day depending on the animal species and the duration of treatment.

In juvenile animals Givinostat at 60 mg/kg/day did not affect the behavioural and physical development and reproductive performance of pups.

No genotoxic effect was detected for Givinostat in the mouse lymphoma assay and the chromosomal aberration assay in vitro and in the micronucleus test and UDS test in vivo.

Adverse effects

In clinical trials of givinostat as a salvage therapy for advanced Hodgkin’s lymphoma, the most common adverse reactions were fatigue (seen in 50% of participants), mild diarrhea or abdominal pain (40% of participants), moderate thrombocytopenia (decreased platelet counts, seen in one third of patients), and mild leukopenia (a decrease in white blood cell levels, seen in 30% of patients). One-fifth of patients experienced prolongation of the QT interval, a measure of electrical conduction in the heart, severe enough to warrant temporary suspension of treatment.^[8]

Mechanism of action

Givinostat inhibits class I and class II histone deacetylases (HDACs) and several pro-inflammatory cytokines. This reduces expression of tumour necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin 1α and β, and interleukin 6.^[7]

It also has activity against cells expressing JAK2(V617F), a mutated form of the janus kinase 2 (JAK2) enzyme that is implicated in the pathophysiology of many myeloproliferative diseases, including polycythaemia vera.^[9]^[10] In patients with polycythaemia, the reduction of mutant JAK2 concentrations by givinostat is believed to slow down the abnormal growth of erythrocytes and ameliorate the symptoms of the disease.^[5]

No. 6,034,096 as a derivative of hydroxamic acid having anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive activity, probably owing to the ability thereof to inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. This compound is obtained according to Example 12 of the above-mentioned patent as an anhydrous, amorphous, hygroscopic, deliquescent solid which is difficult to handle.

The 4-(6-diethylaminomethyl-naphthalen-2-ylmethoxycarbonylamino)-benzoic acid can be prepared as described in Example 12, point C, of U.S. Pat. No. 6,034,096.

The acid (1.22 kg, 3 moles) was suspended in THF (19 l) and the mixture was agitated under nitrogen over night at ambient temperature. The mixture was then cooled to 0° C. and thionyl chloride (0.657 l, 9 moles) was added slowly, still under nitrogen, with the temperature being maintained below 10° C. The reaction mixture was heated under reflux for 60 minutes, DMF (26 ml) was added and the mixture was further heated under reflux for 60 minutes.

The solvent was evaporated under vacuum, toluene was added to the residue and was then evaporated. This operation was repeated twice, then the residue was suspended in THF (11.5 l) and the mixture was cooled to 0° C.

The mixture was then poured into a cold solution of hydroxylamine (50% aq., 1.6 l, 264 moles) in 5.7 l of water. The mixture was then cooled to ambient temperature and agitated for 30 minutes. 6M HCl was added until pH 2 was reached and the mixture was partially evaporated under vacuum in order to eliminate most of the THF. The solid was filtered, washed repeatedly with water and dissolved in a solution of sodium bicarbonate (2.5%, 12.2 l). The solution was extracted with 18.6 l of a mixture of THF and ethyl acetate (2:1 v/v). 37% HCl (130 ml) were added to the organic layer in order to precipitate the monohydrate of the (6-diethylaminomethyl-naphthalen-2-yl)-methyl ester hydrochloride of the (4-hydroxycarbamoyl-phenyl)-carbamic acid. If necessary, this operation can be repeated several times to remove any residues of the original acid.

Lucitanib (E-3810): Lucitanib, also known as E-3810, is a novel dual inhibitor targeting human vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs) and fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) with antiangiogenic activity. VEGFR/FGFR dual kinase inhibitor E-3810 inhibits VEGFR-1, -2, -3 and FGFR-1, -2 kinases in the nM range, which may result in the inhibition of tumor angiogenesis and tumor cell proliferation, and the induction of tumor cell death. Both VEGFRs and FGFRs belong to the family of receptor tyrosine kinases that may be upregulated in various tumor cell type

Lucitanib (E-3810) Structure

Overview

http://www.clovisoncology.com/products-companion-diagnostics/lucitanib/

Lucitanib is an oral, potent inhibitor of the tyrosine kinase activity of fibroblast growth factor receptors 1 through 3 (FGFR1-3), vascular endothelial growth factor receptors 1 through 3 (VEGFR1-3) and platelet-derived growth factor receptors alpha and beta (PDGFR α-ß). We own exclusive development and commercial rights to lucitanib on a global basis, excluding China. Lucitanib rights to markets outside of the U.S. and Japan have been sublicensed to Les Laboratoires Servier (Servier). We are collaborating with Servier on the global clinical development of lucitanib.

A Phase I/IIa clinical trial of lucitanib was initiated in 2010 and has demonstrated multiple objective responses in FGFR1 gene-amplified breast cancer patients, and objective responses were also observed in patients with tumors often sensitive to VEGFR inhibitors, such as renal cell and thyroid cancer. FGFR amplification is common in a number of tumor types, including breast cancer and squamous non-small cell lung cancer, and we intend to study lucitanib in these cancers as well as other solid tumors exhibiting FGFR pathway activation. A broad Phase II development program has been initiated by us and Servier in multiple indications, including advanced breast cancer and squamous NSCLC. For more information or to participate in the trials, contact the Clovis Oncology Clinical Trial Navigation Service at 1-855-262-3040, or 303-625-5010, or clovistrials@emergingmed.com.

WO 2008/112408 Al and US 2008/0227812 Al disclose angiogenesis inhibitors with quinoline structure, useful for the treatment of neoplasias. One of the disclosed products is 6-(7-((l-aminocyclopropyl)methoxy)-6- methoxyquinolin-4-yloxy)-N-methyl-l-naphthamide of formula (I), described in example 3 of the above mentioned patent applications.

According to said documents, compound (I) is prepared by removing the benzyloxycarbonyl protective group from the compound benzyl l-((6- methoxy-4-(5-(methylcarbamoyl)-naphthalen-2-yloxy)quinolin-7- yloxy)methyl)cyclopropyl carbamate (II):

in acid medium or by hydrogenolysis, to give compound (I).

Compound (II) is obtained in a number of steps with different processes in which the benzyloxycarbonyl protected 1 -amino- 1-cyclopropylmethyl moiety is introduced by subjecting the acyl azide obtained from l-((6- methoxy-4-(5-(methylcarbamoyl)naphthalen-2-yloxy)quinolin-7- yloxy)methyl)cyclopropanecarboxylic acid of formula (III):

to Curtius rearrangement, in the presence of benzyl alcohol, or by alkylation of 6-(7-hydroxy-6-methoxyquinolin-4-yloxy)-N- methyl-1-naphthamide of formula (IV):

with 1 -benzyloxy carbony lamino- 1 -methylsolfonyloxymethyl- cyclopropane of formula (V):

The above mentioned applications do not provide yields concerning both the preparation of compound (II) by the two above mentioned reactions, and the conversion of compound (II) to (I).

Compound (III) is prepared by a process in which the 1-carboxy-l- cyclopropylmethyl moiety is introduced in 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyacetophenone as in the form of the ethyl ester, followed by formation of the 4- hydroxyquinoline ring and, finally, by the introduction of the 1- naphthylcarboxyamido fragment.

It is well known that the reactions requiring the use of azides, such as the formation of acyl azides, or Curtius rearrangement of the latter, are potentially hazardous as they involve risk of explosions, therefore they are not suitable for use in preparations on large scale. The synthetic methods reported in WO 2008/1 12408 and US

2008/0227812 include, inter alia, a general synthetic scheme in which the cycloalkyl-alkyl portion of the products is introduced by reaction between a cycloalkyl-alkyl mesylate and an hydroxy or amino acetophenone, followed by nitration to give a nitroacetofenone, reduction of the nitro group to amino group, formation of the 4-hydroxyquinoline ring and further work up of the latter to the final products. The above mentioned applications do not provide examples of the use of this process for compound (I) or the other described products.

LY-156735 (TIK-301, PD-6735) is a melatonin MT1 and MT2 agonist which is under development for the treatment of insomnia and other sleep disorders.^[1]

Beta-methyl-6-chloromelatonin (PD-6735) is a melatonin MT1 and MT2 agonist which had been in phase II trials at Phase 2 Discovery for the treatment of sleep latency in patients with primary insomnia, however, no recent development has been reported.

The melatonin agonist exhibits high selectivity and provides a novel mode of action different from that of benzodiazepine receptor ligands currently on the market.

Furthermore, the drug candidate is believed to be non-addicting, therefore, offering an advantage over marketed sleep medications. Originally discovered by Lilly, PD-6735 was licensed to Phase 2 Discovery in 2002 for further development.

Orphan drug designation has been assigned in the U.S. for the treatment of circadian rhythm sleep disorders in blind people with no light perception and for the treatment of neuroleptic-induced tardive dyskinesia in schizophrenia patients.

In 2007, the product candidate was licensed to Tikvah Therapeutics by Phase 2 Discovery for worldwide development and commercialization for the treatment of sleep disorder, depression and circadian rhythm disorder.

The condensation of 6-chloro-5-methoxy-1H-indole (I) with Meldrum’s acid (II) and acetaldehyde (III) catalyzed by L-proline in acetonitrile gives the adduct (IV), which is treated with Cu and ethanol in refluxing pyridine to yield 3-(6-chloro-5-methoxy-1H-indol-3-yl)butyric acid ethyl ester (V). The reaction of (V) with hydrazine at 140 C affords the hydrazide (VI), which is treated with NaNO2 and Ac-OH to provide the corresponding azide that, without isolation, is thermolyzed and rearranged in toluene at 80?C to give 7-chloro-6-methoxy-4-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-1-one (VII). The cleavage of the lactam ring of (VII) with KOH in refluxing ethanol/water yields 3-(2-amino-1-methylethyl)-6-chloro-5-methoxy-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid (VIII). The decarboxylation of (VIII) by means of refluxing aq. 3M HCl affords 3-(2-amino-1-methylethyl)-6-chloro-5-methoxy-1H-indole (IX), which is finally acylated with acetic anhydride and pyridine in toluene to provide the target 6-chloromelatonin as a racemic compound.

The intermediate diazonium salt (XIII) has been obtained as follows: the hydrogenation of 3-chloro-4-methoxynitrobenzene (XI) with H2 over Pt/Al2O3 in toluene gives the corresponding aniline (XII), which is diazotized with NaNO2/HCl and treated with sodium tetrafluoroborate to yield the target diazonium salt intermediate (XIII). The reduction of pulegone (I) with H2 over Pd/C gives the menthol (II), which is oxidized with CrO3/H2SO4 to yield 3(R),7-dimethyl-6-oxooctanoic acid (IV), which can also be obtained by direct oxidation of (l)-menthol (III) under the same conditions.

The oxidation of (IV) with trifluoroperacetic acid (trifluoroacetic anhydride/H2O2) in dichloromethane yields the 3(R)-methylhexanedioic acid isopropyl monoester (V), which is treated with NaOEt in ethanol to obtain the corresponding ethyl monoester (VI). The reaction of (VI) with diethyl carbonate, EtONa, and “Adogen 464” (a phase transfer catalyst) in ethanol affords 5,5-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)-3(S)-methylpentanoic acid (VII), which is treated with oxalyl chloride to provide the expected acyl chloride (VIII). The reaction of (VIII) with sodium azide and benzyl alcohol gives the intermediate azide that rearranges to the benzyl carbamate (IX).

The reductive cyclization of (IX) with H2 over Pd/C in ethanol yields 5(R)-methyl-2-oxopiperidine-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (X), which is condensed with the intermediate diazonium salt (XIII) to afford the hydrazono derivative (XIV). The cyclization of (XIV) in hot formic acid provides 7-chloro-6-methoxy-4(R)-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-1-one (XV), which is treated with KOH In refluxing ethanol/water to cleave the lactam ring, yielding 3-(2-amino-1(R)-methylethyl)-6-chloro-5-methoxy-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid (XVI). The decarboxylation of (XVI) by means of refluxing 3M HCl affords 3-(2-amino-1(R)-methylethyl)-6-chloro-5-methoxy-1H-indole (XVII), which is finally acylated with Ac2O and pyridine in toluene to provide the target 6-chloromelatonin as a pure enantiomer.

Example 7

A solution of 4.0 g (21 mmoles) of 3-chloro-4-methoxynitrobenzene in 200 ml of toluene was hydrogenated over 0.4 g of 5% platinum on alumina. The catalyst was removed by filtration and the solvent evaporated from the filtrate. The crude 3-chloroanisidine prepared was placed in solution in diethyl ether and treated with ethereal HCl to produce the hydrochloride salt, which was collected and dried; weight = 2.48 g (61% yield).
A mixture of 2.40 g (12.4 mmoles) of 3-chloroanisidine hydrochloride in 7 ml of 4M HCl was treated, at 0°C, with 0.86 g (12.5 mmoles) of sodium nitrite in 5 ml of water. After stirring at 0°C for an hour the solution was filtered and the filtrate added slowly to an ice cold solution of 2.6 g (24 mmoles) of sodium fluoroborate in 8 ml of water. After stirring at 0°C for an hour the salt was collected and washed successively with, cold 5% sodium fluoroborate solution, cold methanol, and ether. The dried 3-chloro-4-methoxybenzene diazonium fluoroborate thus prepared weighed 2.2 g (69% yield).
A mixture of 2.03 g (11.0 mmole) of (R)-(-)-3-ethoxycarbonyl-5-methyl-2-piperidone and 30 ml of 0.75M NaOH was stirred at room temperature (24°C) overnight. The solution was cooled to 0°C and the pH lowered to 3.5 with 3M hydrochloric acid. The diazonium salt (2.8 g, 10.9 mmoles) was added in small portions and the reaction mixture cooled to about 0°C overnight. The product, R-(-)-3-(3-chloro-4-methoxy)phenylhydrazono-5-methyl-2-piperidone, was collected, washed with water, and dried; weight = 2.30 g (75% yield); m.p. = 205°C. A small sample was further purified by chromatography over a short silica gel column using ethyl acetate as the eluant. [α]²⁵ = -58° (c = 10, MeOH).

The mixture was allowed to cool and then chilled overnight. The dark precipitate was collected, washed with water, then recrystallized from acetone/water, yielding 1.20 g (60% yield) of S-(-)-1-oxo-4-methyl-6-methoxy-7-chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole; m.p. = 248°C.

The conversion of (S)-(-)-lactam to (S)-(-)-6-chloro-β-methylmelatonin was carried out as described previously in Example 3. The product, S-(-)-β-methyl-6-chloromelatonin, was spectroscopically identical to the racemate, but gave an optical rotation of [α]²⁵ = -13.2° (c = 10, MeOH).
(R)-(+)-6-chloro-β-methylmelatonin was synthesized from (S)-(+)-3-ethoxycarbonyl-5-methyl-2-piperidone in the same manner as described above. The stereoisomer was identical to the (S)-(-) material except for the sign of rotation.

CURRENTLY IN -PHASE2

NITD609 is an experimental synthetic antimalarial molecule belonging to the spiroindolone class.^[1]^[2] The compound was developed at the Novartis Institute for Tropical Diseases in Singapore, through a collaboration with the Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation (GNF), the Biomedical Primate Research Centre and the Swiss Tropical Institute. NITD609 is a novel, synthetic antimalarial molecule belonging to the spiroindolone class, awarded MMV Project of the Year 2009.

It is structurally related to GNF 493, a compound first identified as a potent inhibitor of Plasmodium falciparum growth in a high throughput phenotypic screen of natural products conducted at the Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation in San Diego, California in 2006. NITD609 was discovered by screening the Novartis library of 12,000 natural products and synthetic compounds to find compounds active against Plasmodium falciparum. The first screen turned up 275 compounds and the list was narrowed to 17 potential candidates.

KAE609 (cipargamin; formerly NITD609, Novartis Institute for Tropical Diseases) is a new synthetic antimalarial spiroindolone analogue with potent, dose-dependent antimalarial activity against asexual and sexual stages of Plasmodium falciparum.http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1315860

KAE609 shows promise as next generation treatment for malaria

KAE609 is the first antimalarial drug candidate with a novel mechanism of action to achieve positive clinical proof-of-concept in over 20 years
KAE609 was tested in adult patients with uncomplicated malaria and showed a median parasite clearance time of 12 hours, including in patients with resistant infections[1]
For more than a decade, Novartis has been a leader in the fight against malaria, setting the current gold standard for treatment and building one of the strongest malaria pipelines in the industry

The digital press release with multimedia content can be accessed here:

Basel, Switzerland, July 30, 2014 – Today, Novartis published clinical trial results in the New England Journal of Medicine showing that KAE609 (cipargamin), a novel and potent antimalarial drug candidate, cleared the parasite rapidly in Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) and Plasmodium vivax (P. vivax) uncomplicated malaria patients[1]. Novartis currently has two drug candidates in development. Both KAE609 and KAF156 are new classes of anti-malarial compounds that treat malaria in different ways from current therapies, important to combat emerging drug resistance. Novartis has also identified PI4K as a new drug target with potential to prevent, block and treat malaria.

“Novartis is in the fight against malaria for the long term and we are committed to the continued research and development of new therapies to eventually eliminate the disease,” said Joseph Jimenez, CEO of Novartis. “With two compounds and a new drug target currently under investigation, Novartis has one of the strongest malaria pipelines in the industry.”

Malaria is a life-threatening disease primarily caused by parasites (P. falciparum and P. vivax) transmitted to people through the bites of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. Each year it kills more than 600,000 people, most of them African children[2].

“KAE609 is a potential game-changing therapy in the fight against malaria,” said Thierry Diagana, Head of the Novartis Institute for Tropical Diseases (NITD), which aims to discover novel treatments and prevention methods for major tropical diseases. “Novartis has given KAE609 priority project status because of its unique potential of administering it as a single-dose combination therapy.”

In June 2012, 21 patients infected by one of the two main malaria-causing parasite types took part in a proof-of-concept clinical study conducted in Bangkok and Mae Sot near the Thailand/Burma border where resistance to current therapies had been reported. Researchers saw rapid parasite clearance in adult patients (median of 12 hours)[2] with uncomplicated P. vivax or P. falciparum malaria infection including those with resistant parasites. No safety concerns were identified, however the study was too small for any safety conclusions.

“The growing menace of artemisinin resistance threatens our current antimalarial treatments, and therefore our attempts to control and eliminate falciparum malaria,” said Nick White, Professor of Tropical Medicine at Mahidol University in Thailand and lead author of the NEJM article. “This is why we are so enthusiastic about KAE609; it is the first new antimalarial drug candidate with a completely novel mechanism of action to reach Phase 2 clinical development in over 20 years.”

KAE609, the first compound in the spiroindolone class of treatment, works through a novel mechanism of action that involves inhibition of a P-type cation-transporter ATPase4 (PfATP4), which regulates sodium concentration in the parasite. Because KAE609 also appears to be effective against the sexual forms of the parasite, it could potentially help prevent disease transmission. The clinical trial was done in collaboration with the Wellcome Trust-Mahidol University – Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Programme. Research was supported by the Wellcome Trust, Singapore Economic Development Board, and Medicines for Malaria Venture.

KAE609 represents one of two new classes of antimalarial compounds that Novartis has discovered and published in the last four years.[3],[4] This drug candidate has shown potent in vitro activity against a broad range of parasites that have developed drug resistance against current therapies. KAE609 is currently being planned for Phase 2b trials.

The current spiroindolone was optimized to address its metabolic liabilities leading to improved stability and exposure levels in animals. As a result, NITD609 is one of only a handful of molecules capable of completely curing mice infected withPlasmodium berghei (a model of blood-stage malaria).

Given its good physicochemical properties, promising pharmacokinetic and efficacy profile, the molecule was recently approved as a preclinical candidate and is now entering GLP toxicology studies with the aim of entering Phase I studies in humans in late 2010. If its safety and tolerability are acceptable, NITD609 would be the first antimalarial not belonging to either the artemisinin or peroxide class to go into a proof-of-concept study in malaria.

If NITD609 behaves similarly in people to the way it works in mice, it may be possible to develop it into a drug that could be taken just once – far easier than current standard treatments in which malaria drugs are taken between one and four times a day for up to seven days. NITD609 also has properties which could enable it to be manufactured in pill form and in large quantities. Further animal studies have been performed and researchers have begun human-stage trials.

Malaria is an old infectious disease caused by four protozoan parasites, Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium ovale. These four parasites are typically transmitted by the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito. Malaria is a problem in many parts of the world, and over the last few decades the malaria burden has steadily increased. An estimated 1 to 3 million people die every year from malaria – mostly children under the age of 5. This increase in malaria mortality is due in part to the fact that Plasmodium falciparum, the deadliest malaria parasite, has acquired resistance against nearly all available antimalarial drugs, with the exception of the artemisinin derivatives.

Leishmaniasis is caused by one of more than twenty (20) varieties of parasitic protozoa that belong to the genus Leishmania, and is transmitted by the bite of female sandflies. Leishmaniasis is endemic in some 90 countries, including many tropical and sub-tropical areas.

There are four main forms of leishmaniasis. Visceral leishmaniasis, also called kala-azar, is the most serious form and is caused by the parasite Leishmania donovani. Patients who develop visceral leishmaniasis can die within months unless they receive treatment. The two main therapies for visceral leishmaniasis are the antimony derivatives sodium stibogluconate (Pentostam®) and meglumine antimoniate (Glucantim®). Sodium stibogluconate has been used for about 70 years and resistance to this drug is a growing problem. In addition, the treatment is relatively long and painful, and can cause undesirable side effects. Human African Trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness, is a vector-bome parasitic disease. The parasites concerned are protozoa belonging to the Trypanosoma Genus. They are transmitted to humans by tsetse fly {Glossina Genus) bites which have acquired their infection from human beings or from animals harbouring the human pathogenic parasites.

Chagas disease (also called American trypanosomiasis) is another human parasitic disease that is endemic amongst poor populations on the American continent. The disease is caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, which is transmitted to humans by blood-sucking insects. The human disease occurs in two stages: the acute stage, which occurs shortly after the infection, and the chronic stage, which can develop over many years. Chronic infections result in various neurological disorders, including dementia, damage to the heart muscle and sometimes dilation of the digestive tract, as well as weight loss. Untreated, the chronic disease is often fatal.

The drugs currently available for treating Chagas disease are nifurtimox and benznidazole. However, problems with these current therapies include their adverse side effects, the length of treatment, and the requirement for medical supervision during treatment. Furthermore, treatment is really only effective when given during the acute stage of the disease. Resistance to the two frontline drugs has already arisen. The antifungal agent amphotericin b has been proposed as a second-line drug, but this drug is costly and relatively toxic.

WO 2009/132921

In this process, the chiral amine is installed via an enzymatic resolution via deacylation of the acetamide 2. In addition to the wasteful resolution, other inefficiencies of this route include protection/deprotection (Ac/Boc, 2 to 4, and 5 to 6) and a three-step sequence to reduce the carboxylic acid to a methyl group (3 to 6).

Improved Route to Cipargamin Employing Transaminase Reaction

For the transamination step, the enzyme ATA-256 was engineered by Codexis to accommodate the non-natural indole substrate 12. Since the substrate is not water-soluble, PEG 200 (approximately 20 vol %) is used as a cosolvent, an interesting selection given that DMSO or methanol are the most common cosolvents for enzymatic reactions. Isopropylamine is employed as the amine donor, a strategy that was adopted from the work of Merck and Codexis for the transamination of sitagliptin ketone.(2) During the transamination, which is a reversible reaction,i-PrNH₂ is converted to acetone, which can be readily removed by evaporation to drive the reaction to completion. The workup involves filtration to remove enzyme residues followed by pH swings in which the product is extracted into the aqueous layer under acidic conditions, then basified for extraction into the organic layer. Addition of (+)-camphorsulfonic acid (CSA) provides the amine 14 as the crystalline CSA salt. No details are provided on enantioselectivity for the transamination, and it is not clear if the (+)-CSA is required to upgrade the ee or whether this salt was selected based on physical properties and the ability to develop a scalable crystallization process.

The final step to generate the spiroindole involves a diastereoselective condensation of the chiral amine with 5-chloroisatin (7) under acidic conditions. The diastereoselectivity of this reaction is not provided, nor any ee or de data for the final product. The spiroindole is also isolated as a (+)-CSA salt, which is then converted to the crystalline free base hemihydrate as the final form of cipargamin.

Example 12: Process for Preparing a Compound of formula (IVA) ¹/z Hydrate

622.54 399.25

In a 750ml reactor with impeller stirrer 50g of compound (IVB) salt were dissolved in 300ml Ethanol (ALABD) and 100 ml deionised Water (WEM). The clear, yellowish sollution was heated to 58°C internal temperature. To the solution 85 g of a 10% aqueous sodium carbonate solution was added within 10 minutes. The clear solution was particle filtered into a second reaction vessel. Vessel and particle filter were each rinsed with 25 ml of a mixture of ethanohwater (3:1 v/v) in the second reaction vessel. The combined particle filtered solution is heated to 58°C internal temperature and 200ml water (WEM) were added dropwise within 15 minutes. Towards the end of the addition the solution gets turbid. The mixture is stirred for 10 minutes at 58°C internal temperature and is then cooled slowely to room temperature within 4hours 30 minutes forming a thick, well stirable white suspension. To the suspension 200 ml water are added and the mixture is stirred for additional 15hours 20 minutes at room temperature. The suspension is filtered and the filter cake is washed twice with 25 ml portions of a mixture of ethanohwater 9: 1 (v/v). The colourless crystals are dried at 60°C in vacuum yielding 26.23g (=91.2% yield). H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d₆)

Step 6: To a solution of mesylate (300 mg, 0.7mmol) in dry ether (20 mL) was added portionwise LiAlH₄ (55 mg, 1.4 mmol) at 0 °C. The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. After TLC indicated the reaction was finished, the mixture was cooled and carefully quenched with Na₂SO₄. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was washed with saturated aqueous NH₄Cl and water, dried with Na₂SO₄, filtered, concentrated and the residue was purified with chromatography (petroleum ether/EtOAc 10: 1) to give [(5)-2-(6-chloro-5-fluoro-1H-indol-3-yl)- 1 -methyl-ethyl] -carbamic acid tert-butyl ester as a light yellow solid (200 mg, 87% yield).

Step 7: A solution of [(S)-2-(6-chloro-5-fluoro-1H-indol-3-yl)-l-methyl-ethyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (200 mg, 0.6 mmol) in HCl/MeOH (10 mL) was stirred at room temperature. After TLC indicated the reaction was finished, the mixture was concentrated to remove the solvent. To the residue was added EtOAc (5OmL), and the mixture was neutralized with saturated NaHCO₃ to pH 8~9, and then extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic phases were dried with Na₂SO₄, filtered, concentrated to give a crude (S)-2-(6-chloro-5-fluoro-1H-indol-3-yl)-l- methyl-ethylamine which was used without further purification.

Step 8: To a solution of (5)-2-(6-chloro-5-fluoro-1H-indol-3-yl)-l-methyl-ethylamine (120 mg, 0.5 mmol) in EtOH (1OmL) was added 5-chloroisatin (90 mg, 0.5 mmol) and p-TsOΗ (8 mg, 0.04 mmol). The mixture was heated in a sealed tube at 110⁰C for 16 hours. After TLC indicated the reaction was finished, the mixture was cooled and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in EtOAc (2OmL) and washed with NaOH (IN) and brine, dried with Na₂SO₄, filtered, concentrated and the residue was purified with chromatography (petroleum ether/EtOAc 5:1) to give 36 (150mg, 64% yield over two steps).

Исследовательская группа Элизабет Винцелер (Elizabeth A. Winzeler) разработала новый препарат, первоначально проведя скрининг библиотеки, состоящей из 12000 соединений, а затем получив производные наиболее перспективных кандидатов. В результате долгой работы исследователи отобрали единственное соединение спироиндолоновой структуры, получившее регистрационный номер NITD609. В случае успешного прохождения экспертизы фармакологических и токсикологических свойств нового соединения исследователи надеются приступить к первой фазе его клинических испытаний уже в конце этого года.

Было обнаружено, что NITD609 быстро останавливает белковый синтез в организме возбудителя малярии, ингибируя ген аденозинтрифосфатазы, ответственной за транспорт катионов через мембрану клетки возбудителя. То, что механизм действия нового соединения отличается от механизма, характерного для других средств лечения малярии, объясняет причины успешного действия нового препарата в том числе и против штаммов малярии, выработавших резистентность.

INNO-406
NS-187

Bafetinib , previously as INNO-406 , NS-187 and CNS-9 refers is an experimental drug from the substance group ofbenzamides , who as Tyrosinkinasehemmstoff to be used. ^[2] It was originally developed by the Japanese company Nippon Shinyaku and 2006 Innovive Pharmaceuticals licensed. ^[3] Innovive was established in June 2008 by the CytRx Corp. adopted. ^[4]

Bafetinib, also known as INNO-406, is an orally bioavailable 2-phenylaminopyrimidine derivative with potential antineoplastic activity. Bafetinib specifically binds to and inhibits the Bcr/Abl fusion protein tyrosine kinase, an abnormal enzyme produced by Philadelphia chromosomal translocation associated with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). This agent also inhibits the Src-family member Lyn tyrosine kinase, upregulated in imatinib-resistant CML cells and in a variety of solid cancer cell types. The inhibitory effect of bafetinib on these specific tyrosine kinases may decrease cellular proliferation and induce apoptosis in tumor cells that overexpress these kinases. CML patients may be refractory to imatinib, which sometimes results from point mutations occurring in the kinase domain of the Bcr/Abl fusion product. Due to its dual inhibitory activity, the use of bafetinib has been shown to overcome this particular drug resistance.

INNO-406 (formerly NS-187) is a potent, orally available, rationally designed, dual Bcr-Abl and Lyn kinase inhibitor that is currently in early clinical studies at CytRx Oncology for the treatment of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, metastatic prostate cancer and glioblastoma multiforme. CytRx is also conducting phase I clinical studies for the treatment of recurrent high-grade glioma or metastatic disease to the brain that has progressed after treatment with whole brain radiation therapy or stereotactic radiosurgery.

The company is developing INNO-406 in preclinical studies for the prevention of bone loss in multiple myeloma patients. Nippon Shinyaku is also evaluating the compound for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia. The compound had been under evaluation for the treatment of certain forms of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that are refractory or intolerant of other approved treatments; however, no recent development has been reported for this indication.

Based on its mechanisms of action, INNO-406 is expected to be effective in treating Gleevec-resistant CML and may delay or even prevent the onset of resistance in treatment naive CML patients. The ability of INNO-406 to specifically target the Bcr-Abl and Lyn kinases may result in a better side effect profile than compounds that target multiple kinases such as a pan-Src inhibitor.

In 2005, the compound was licensed to Innovive Pharmaceuticals (acquired by CytRx Oncology in 2008) by Nippon Shinyaku on a worldwide basis, with the exception of Japan, for the treatment of CML. Orphan drug designation was assigned to the compound for the treatment of CML in the U.S in 2007 and in the E.U. in 2010.

Pharmacology

Bafetinib is an inhibitor of tyrosine kinases . It affects the formation of the fusion protein Bcr-Abl , as well as that of theenzyme Lyn kinase and should in mice ten times stronger effect than the imported Tyrosinkinasehemmstoff imatinib .^[5]
