The FDA has granted PV-10 Orphan Drug Status for the treatment of highly lethal metastatic melanoma and metastatic liver cancer. It has a successful and expanding Compassionate Use Program in operation and successfully completed trials on metastatic cancer of the breast, liver and melanoma, with positive results in all three. Positive effects in this context is that, if you inject PV-10 into a solid tumor, it kills cancer cells, usually within a week and doesn’t harm normal tissue. Many injected tumors actually disappear while others shrink and stop growing. The dual action of the drug is that the destruction of the cancer by direct injection of PV-10 serves to sensitize the patient’s immune system to seek out and kill similar cancer throughout the body. There is convincing evidence that untreated cancer distant from the treated cancer is attacked by the patient’s immune system after treatment.

PROVECTUS COMPANY OVERVIEW

Provectus (PVCT) is a clinical stage bio-pharmaceutical drug development company. There are 3 key scientific managers running the business along with the CFO, who is also the Chief Operating Officer. They preside over a stable of expert and specialized consultants. The company has two lead drug candidates: PH-10 for significant, often severe, and common skin disorders and PV-10, a dual action, local ablation and immunological anti-cancer drug. PH-10 is currently the subject of post-Phase II trial research into mode of action. PV-10 has successfully completed Phase II trials for malignant melanoma, is currently the subject of independent research on mode of actioRose Bengal disodium is in early clinical trials at Provectus for the topical treatment of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. An intralesional injectable formulation is also in early clinical development as breast cancer, liver cancer and melanoma therapy. Development for the treatment of actinic keratosis had been ongoing; however, no recent development for this indication has been reported. The company is seeking approval in the U.S. to begin clinical evaluation of this formulation for the treatment of liver and prostate cancer. A compassionate use program is under way for Rose Bengal disodium for the treatment of non-visceral cancers.

The drug’s mechanism of action is believed to be characterized by the creation of free radicals upon activation, which eliminate diseased cells. The compound concentrates in tumors at cytotoxic levels while quickly dissipating from healthy tissue. Simultaneously, the drug triggers an immune response that can eliminate metastatic tumor tissue.

In 2007, orphan drug designation was assigned to Rose Bengal disodium by the FDA for the treatment of metastatic melanoma. This designation was also assigned to the compound in the U.S. in 2011 for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.n and efficacy in conjunction with radiation, and it will have a Phase III pivotal trial starting shortly.

 

SUMMARY

1. If PV-10 and the Chemotherapies act as the prior data indicate, an NDA for melanoma may be submitted by Provectus in the first half of 2015.

2. If this occurs, the FDA denial of the Breakthrough Therapy designation will not have slowed PV-10’s progress to commercialization.

3. Given the relative safety and efficacy of the different drugs, if the trial is not stopped very early for humanitarian reasons, the planned Interim Analysis is likely to result in the cancellation of the trial, prior to the end of 2015.

4. Given PV-10’s superior safety and lack of significant side effects, if it is only as good as Chemotherapy, it will deserve FDA approval.

The Phase III pivotal trial will demonstrate the safety and efficacy of PV-10 to the market and to prospective acquirers a lot earlier than many have presumed.

Rose bengal (4,5,6,7-tetrachloro-2′,4′,5′,7′-tetraiodofluorescein) is a stain. Its sodium salt is commonly used in eye drops to stain damaged conjunctival and corneal cells and thereby identify damage to the eye. The stain is also used in the preparation of Foraminifera for microscopic analysis, allowing the distinction between forms that were alive or dead at the time of collection.

A form of Rose Bengal is also being studied as a treatment for certain cancers and skin conditions. The cancer formulation of the drug, known as PV-10, is currently undergoing clinical trials for melanoma and breast cancer. The company also has formulated a drug based on Rose Bengal for the treatment of eczema and psoriasis; this drug, PH-10, is currently in clinical trials as well.

Chemical applications

Rose Bengal is also used in synthetic chemistry to generate singlet oxygen from triplet oxygen. The singlet oxygen can then undergo a variety of useful reactions, particularly [2 + 2] cycloadditions with alkenes and similar systems.

Rose Bengal can be used to form many derivatives that have important medical functions. One such derivative was created so to be sonosensative but photoinsensative, so that with a high intensity focused ultrasound, it could be used in the treatment of cancer. The derivative was formed by amidation of Rose Bengal, which turned off the fluorescent and photosensitive properties of Rose Bengal, leading to a usable compound, named in the study as RB2.[1]

Salts of Rose Bengal can also be formed, with the molecular formula C20 H4 Cl4 I4 O5 . 2 Na, molecular weight of 1017.64 g/mol and CAS # 632-69-9. Known as Rose Bengal Sodium Salt, this compound has its own unique uses and properties, but also functions as a dye.[2]

Biological applications

PV-10 was found to cause an observable response in 60 percent of tumors treated, according to researchers in a phase II melanoma study. Locoregional disease control was observed in 75 percent of patients. Also confirmed was a “bystander effect”, previously observed in the phase I trial, whereby untreated lesions responded to treatment as well, potentially due to immune system response. These data were based on the interim results of the first 40 patients treated in an 80 patient study.[3] Rose Bengal has been shown to not just prevent the growth and spread of ovarian cancer, but also to cause apoptotic cell death of the cancer cells. This has been proven in vitro, in order to prove that Rose Bengal is still a possible option in the treatment of cancer, and further research should be done.[4]

Rose Bengal is also used in animal models of ischemic stroke (photothrombotic stroke models) in biomedical research. A bolus of the compound is injected into the venous system. Then the region of interest (e.g., the cerebral cortex) is exposed and illuminated by LASER light of 561 nm. A thrombus is formed in the illuminated blood vessels, causing a stroke in the dependent brain tissue.[5][6]

Rose bengal has been used for 50 years to diagnose liver and eye cancer. It has also been used as an insecticide.[7][8]

Rose Bengal is able to stain cells whenever the surface epithelium is not being properly protected by the preocular tear film, because Rose Bengal has been proven to not be able to stain cells because of the protective functioning of these preocular tear films.[9] This is why Rose Bengal is often useful as a stain in diagnosing certain medical issues, such as conjunctival and lid disorders.[10]

Rose Bengal has been used for ocular surface staining to study the efficacy of punctal plugs in the treatment of keratoconjunctivitis sicca. [11]

Rose Bengal is being researched as an agent in creating nano sutures.[12] Wounds are painted on both sides with it and then illuminated with an intense light. This links the tiny collagen fibers together sealing the wound.[13][14][15] Healing is faster and the seal reduces chances of infection.[16][17]

Rose Bengal is used in several microbiological media, including Cooke’s Rose Bengal agar, to suppress bacterial growth.

Rose Bengal has been used as a protoplasm stain to discriminate between living and dead micro-organisms, particularly Foraminifera, since the 1950s when Bill Walton developed the technique.[18]

Electronic applications

Rose Bengal demonstrates at least six distinct electronic properties[19] which are otherwise hidden in the molecule. Rose Bengal is a double planar molecule and relative rotation of the planes generate unique electronics. Therefore, Rose Bengal is a suitable candidate for molecular electronics.

History

Rose Bengal was originally prepared in 1884 by Gnehm, as an analogue of fluorescein.[20] The name is due to its similarity to alta, a dye that women in Bengal have used for centuries to colour their feet red during weddings and festivals.

2D chemical structure of 1191448-17-5

TAINAN, June 8, 2014  — ScinoPharm Taiwan, Ltd. (twse:1789) specializing in the development and manufacture of active pharmaceutical ingredients, and TaiGen Biotechnology (4157.TW; F*TaiGen) jointly announced today the signing of a manufacturing contract for the clinical supply of the API of Burixafor, a new chemical entity discovered and developed by TaiGen. The API will be manufactured in ScinoPharm’s plant in Changshu, China. This cooperation not only demonstrates Taiwan’s international competitive strength in new drug development, but also sees the beginning of a domestic pharmaceutical specialization and cooperation mechanisms, thus establishing a groundbreaking milestone for Taiwan’s pharmaceutical industry.

Dr. Jo Shen, President and CEO of ScinoPharm said, “This cooperation with TaiGen is of representative significance in the domestic pharmaceutical companies’ upstream and downstream cooperation and self-development of new drugs, and indicates the Taiwanese pharmaceutical industry’s cumulative research and development momentum is paving the way forward.” Dr. Jo Shen emphasized, “ScinoPharm’s Changshu Plant provides high-quality API R&D and manufacturing services through its fast, flexible, reliable competitive advantages, effectively assisting clients of new drugs in gaining entry into China, Europe, the United States, and other international markets.”

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.

TG-0054 is a potent and selective chemokine CXCR4 (SDF-1) antagonist in phase II clinical studies at TaiGen Biotechnology for use in stem cell transplantation in cancer patients. Specifically, the compound is being developed for the treatment of stem cell transplantation in multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Hodgkin’s lymphoma and myocardial ischemia.

Preclinical studies had also been undertaken for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy, critical limb ischemia (CLI) and age-related macular degeneration. In a mouse model, TG-0054 efficiently mobilizes stem cells (CD34+) and endothelial progenitor cells (CD133+) from bone marrow into peripheral circulation.

 

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.

Losmapimod, also know as GW856553 or GW856553X,  is a drug developed by GlaxoSmithKline which acts as a selective inhibitor of the enzyme family known as p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases. p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases are mediators of inflammation. A Phase II human clinical trial for the treatment of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is underway. Inhibiting these enzymes has been shown to produce antidepressant and antipsychotic effects in animal studies, with the mechanism thought to involve increased neurogenesis probably related to BDNF release. Losmapimod has completed Phase II human clinical trials for the treatment of depression although its safety and efficacy have yet to be proven in further trials. Losmapimod is also being studied for cardiovascular disease. A Phase II trial to study its effects in myocardial infarction (heart attack) is ongoing.

General Method A

6-Bromonicotinic acid (100 mg, 0.5 mmol) was heated at 95° C. in thionyl chloride (0.63 ml) for 2 hours. The excess thionyl chloride was evaporated under vacuum and the residue dissolved in DCM (2 ml). To this solution, amine (0.5 mmol) and sodium carbonate (100 mg) were added and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction was filtered and the residue washed with DCM. The combined filtrate and washings were reduced to dryness to give the desired 6-chloronicotinamide.

ABT-199.png

ABT-199 is a so-called BH3-mimetic drug, which is designed to block the function of the protein Bcl 2. In 1988, it was discovered that Bcl-2 allowed leukaemia cells to become long-lived, a discovery made at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute by Professors David Vaux, Suzanne Cory and Jerry Adams. Subsequent research led by them and other institute scientists, including Professors Andreas Strasser, David Huang, Peter Colman and Keith Watson, has explained much about how Bcl-2 and related molecules function to determine if a cell lives or dies. These discoveries have contributed to the development of a new class of drugs called BH3-mimetics that kill, and thereby rapidly remove, leukaemic cells by blocking Bcl-2. (source:http://www.wehi.edu.au).

 

Highlights of recent research using this agent

GDC-0199 (RG7601) is a novel small molecule Bcl-2 selective inhibitor designed to restore apoptosis, also known as programmed cell death, by blocking the function of a pro-survival Bcl-2 family protein. The Bcl-2 family proteins, which are expressed at high levels in many tumors, play a central role in regulating apoptosis and, consequently, are thought to impact tumor formation, tumor growth and resistance.

Venetoclax (previously: GDC-0199, ABT-199, RG7601 )[1] is a small molecule oral drug being investigated to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).[2][3]

In 2015, the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to venetoclax for CLL in previously treated (relapsed/refractory) patients with the 17p deletion genetic mutation.[3]

Mechanism of action

Venetoclax (a BH3-mimetic[4]) acts as a Bcl-2 inhibitor, ie. it blocks the anti-apoptotic B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL2) protein, leading toprogrammed cell death in CLL cells.[2]

Clinical trials

A phase 1 trial established a dose of 400mg/day.[2]

A trial of venetoclax in combination with rituximab had an encouraging complete response rate.[5]

A phase 2 trial met its primary endpoint which was overall response rate.[3] Interim results from a Phase 2b trial are encouraging, especially in patients with the 17p deletion.[2]

A phase 3 trial (NCT02005471)[1] has started.[3]

NOW IN PHASE 3  UPDATED…………

4-(4-{[2-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethylcyclohex-1-en-1-yl]methyl}piperazin-1-yl)-N-({3-nitro-4-[(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-ylmethyl)amino]phenyl}sulfonyl)-2-(1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-5-yloxy)benzamide (hereafter, “Compound 1”) is a potent and selective Bcl-2 inhibitor having, inter alia, antitumor activity as an apoptosis-inducing agent. Compound 1 has the formula:

  • General Considerations:
  • this chemistry is considered air and moisture sensitive. While the catalyst precursors in their solid, dry form can be handled and stored in air without special precautions, contact with even small amounts of solvent may render them susceptible to decomposition. As a result, traces of oxygen or other competent oxidants (e.g., solvent peroxides) must be removed prior to combination of the catalyst precursors with solvent and care must be used to prevent ingress of oxygen during the reaction. Also, care must be taken to use dry equipment, solvents, and reagents to prevent formation of undesirable byproducts. The sodium t-butoxide used in this reaction is hygroscopic and it should be properly handled and stored prior to or during use.
  • To a 2.0 L three-neck RB flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer were charged the bis-hydrochloride salt (Compound (I), 42.5 g) and toluene (285 ml). 20% K3PO4 (285 ml) was added and the biphasic mixture was stirred for 30 min. The layers were separated and the organic layer was washed with 25% NaCl (145 ml). The organic layer concentrated to 120 g and used in the coupling reaction without further purification.
  • NaOtBu (45.2 g) and Compound (I) in toluene solution (120 g solution −30 g potency adjusted) were combined in THF (180 ml) in a suitable reactor and sparged with nitrogen for NLT 45 min.

Saracatinib (AZD0530) is a highly selective, orally available, dual-specific Src/Abl kinase inhibitor with IC50 of 2.7 and 30 nM for c-Src and Abl kinase, respectively.Saracatinib (AZD0530) demonstrated potent antimigratory and antiinvasive effects in vitro, and inhibited metastasis in a murine model of bladder cancer. Antiproliferative activity of AZD0530 in vitro varied between cell lines (IC50=0.2 ~10 mM).

c-Src, Bcr–Abl, Yes1, Lck.target

AZD0530 is orally available 5-, 7-substituted anilinoquinazoline with anti-invasive and anti-tumor activities. AZD0530 is a dual-specific inhibitor of Src and Abl, protein tyrosine kinases that are overexpressed in chronic myeloid leukemia cells. This agent binds to and inhibits these tyrosine kinases and their effects on cell motility, cell migration, adhesion, invasion, proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Specifically, AZD0530 inhibits Src kinase-mediated osteoclast bone resorption.

AZD-0530 is a highly selective, dual-specific small molecule Src/Abl kinase inhibitor currently in phase II/III clinical trials at AstraZeneca for the treatment of ovarian cancer. Phase II clinical trials are also under way at the company for the treatment of solid tumors and hematological neoplasms. The Mayo Clinic is developing AZD-0530 in phase II clinical studies for the treatment of metastatic pancreas cancer.

Additional phase II trials are under way at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for the treatment of colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, stomach cancer, soft tissue sarcoma, stage II or IV melanoma and thymic malignancies. A phase II trial for pancreatic cancer has been suspended. Src and Abl kinase are highly expressed in various human tumor types. No recent development has been reported for research into the treatment of head and neck cancer.

Phase II study of Saracatinib (AZD0530) for for the treatment of patients with hormone receptor-negative metastatic breast cancer : Nine patients were treated on study. After a median of 2 cycles (range 1-3), no patient had achieved CR, PR, or SD >6 months. The median time to treatment failure was 82 days (12-109 days).The majority (89%) of patients discontinued saracatinib because of disease progression. One patient acquired potentially treatment-related grade 4 hypoxia with interstitial infiltrates and was removed from the study. Common adverse events included fatigue, elevated liver enzymes, nausea, hyponatremia, dyspnea, cough, and adrenal insufficiency. CONCLUSIONS:  These efficacy results were not sufficiently promising to justify continued accrual to this study. Based on this series, saracatinib does not appear to have significant single-agent activity for the treatment of patients with ER(-)/PR(-) MBC. (source: Clin Breast Cancer. 2011 Oct;11(5):306-11.)

Phase II study of  Saracatinib (AZD0530) in patients with metastatic or locally advanced gastric or gastro esophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma:  Saracatinib has insufficient activity as a single agent in patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma to warrant further investigation. Further development in gastric cancer would require rational drug combinations or identification of a tumor phenotype sensitive to Src inhibition. (source: Invest New Drugs. 2011 Mar 12. [Epub ahead of print]).

  

Phase II study of saracatinib (AZD0530) for patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Nine patients were enrolled. All patients had received prior radiotherapy and six patients had received prior chemotherapy for recurrent or metastatic disease. The most common adverse event was fatigue. Eight patients had progression of disease by response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) within the first eight-week cycle and one patient was removed from the study after 11 days due to clinical decline with stable disease according to the RECIST criteria. Median overall survival was six months. The study was closed early due to lack of efficacy according to the early stopping rule. CONCLUSION: Single-agent saracatinib does not merit further study in recurrent or metastatic HNSCC. (source: Anticancer Res. 2011 Jan;31(1):249-53.)

4-(6-chloro-2,3-methylenedioxyanilino)- 7-[2-(4-methylpiperazin-l -yl)ethoxy]-5-tetrahydropyran-4-yloxyquinazoline which compound is disclosed as Compound No. 73 within the Table in Example 14 of International Patent Application WO 01/94341. That compound is described herein by way of the Formula I

and as AZD0530, the code number by which the compound is known.

AZD0530 is an inhibitor of the Src family of non-receptor tyrosine kinase enzymes and, thereby, is a selective inhibitor of the motility of tumour cells and a selective inhibitor of the dissemination and invasiveness of mammalian cancer cells leading to inhibition of metastatic tumour growth. In particular, the compound AZD0530 is an inhibitor of c-Src non-receptor tyrosine kinase and should be of value as an anti-invasive agent for use in the containment and/or treatment of solid tumour disease in the human or animal body. The route for preparing the compound of the Formula I that is disclosed in International Patent Application WO 01/94341 involves the reaction of the compound 4-(6-chloro-2,3-methylenedioxyanilino)-7-hydroxy-5-tetrahydropyran-4-yloxyquinazoline with an alkylating agent to form the 2-(4-methylpiperazin-l-yl)ethoxy side-chain at the 7-position. The product of the reaction is disclosed in WO 01/94341 in the form of a dihydrochloride salt and in the form of a free base.

Example 14 4-(6-chloro-2,3-methylenedioxyaniIino)-7-[2-(4-methyIpiperazin-l-yI)ethoxy]- 5-tetrahydropyran-4-yloxyquinazoline (route 4)

Under an atmosphere of nitrogen gas, l-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-methylpiperazine (13.93 g) was added to a stirred mixture of 4-(6-chloro-2,3-methylenedioxyanilino)-7-fluoro- 5-tetrahydropyran-4-yloxyquinazoline (12.9 g), sodium te/t-pentoxide (9.87 g) and 1 ,2-diethoxyethane (37.5 ml). Water (1.34 g) and 1,2-diethoxyethane (25 ml) were added and the resultant reaction mixture was stirred and heated to 86°C for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to 5O0C and, under vacuum distillation at approximately 60 millibar pressure, approximately 50 ml of reaction solvent was distilled off. The reaction mixture was neutralised to pH 7.0 to 7.6 by the addition of a mixture of concentrated aqueous hydrochloric acid (36%, 10 ml) and water (84 ml) at a rate that kept the temperature of the reaction mixture at a maximum of 6O0C. With the temperature of the reaction mixture being kept at 6O0C, the reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (225 ml). The organic solution was washed with water (50 ml). Water (25 ml) was added and, with the temperature being kept at 6O0C, the mixture was stirred for 10 minutes, then allowed to stand for 30 minutes and the aqueous layer was separated. The organic layer was concentrated to a volume of about 100 ml by distillation of solvent at about 9O0C under atmospheric pressure. The residual mixture was cooled during 1 hour to 450C and held at that temperature for 2 hours to allow crystallisation of product. The mixture was warmed briefly to 550C and then cooled during 4 hours to 180C and held at that temperature for 1 hour. The crystalline precipitate was isolated by filtration and washed in turn with water (17 ml) and with tø’t-butyl methyl ether (17 ml). There was thus obtained 4-(6-chloro-2,3-πiethylenedioxyanilino)-7-[2-(4-methylpiperazin-l-yl)ethoxy]- 5-tetrahydropyran-4-yloxyquinazoline as a trihydrate (11 g; 88% purity by HPLC using Method B, retention time 7.3 minutes); NMR Spectrum: (CDCl3) 1.65 (br s, 3H), 1.9-2.05 (m, 2H), 2.2-2.3 (m, 2H), 2.31 (s, 3H), 2.4-2.8 (m, 8H), 2.9 (m, 2H), 3.6-3.7 (m, 2H), 3.95-4.05 (m, 2H), 4.2-4.25 (m, 2H), 4.8 (m,lH), 6.05 (s, 2H), 6.55 (s, IH), 6.75 (d, IH), 6.85 (s, IH), 7.0 (d, IH), 8.55 (s, IH), 9.25 (s, IH).

A portion (10 g) of the material so obtained was placed on a filter and dried at ambient temperature in a stream of dry nitrogen gas. The resultant material was dissolved at 6O0C in dry isopropanol (140 ml) whilst maintaining a dry nitrogen atmosphere. The solution was allowed to cool to ambient temperature and to stand under a dry nitrogen atmosphere for 2 days. The resultant crystalline solid was isolated by filtration under a dry nitrogen atmosphere. The material (8 g) so obtained was a crystalline anhydrous form of 4-(6-chloro-2,3-methylenedioxyanilino)-7-[2-(4-methylpiperazin-l -yl)ethoxy]- 5-tetrahydropyran-4-yloxyquinazoline, m.p. 142 to 1440C.

Example 15

4-(6-chloro-2,3-methylenedioxyanilino)-7-[2-(4-methylpiperazin-l-yl)ethoxy]- 5-tetrahydropyran-4-yloxyquinazoline difumarate salt

A mixture of 4-(6-chloro-2,3-methylenedioxyanilino)-7-[2-(4-methylpiperazin- l-yl)ethoxy]-5-tetrahydropyran-4-yloxyquinazoline trihydrate (27.1 g), isopropanol (200 ml) and water (10 ml) was heated to 75°C. A mixture of fumaric acid (12.8 g), isopropanol (200 ml) and water (40 ml) was heated to 😯0C. A portion (80 ml) of the warmed solution of the quinazoline compound was added to the fumaric acid solution whilst the temperature was maintained at 750C. The resultant mixture was stirred at 750C for 75 minutes. The remainder of the quinazoline compound solution was added during 1 hour whilst the temperature was maintained at 750C. Isopropanol (50 ml) was added and the resultant mixture was stirred at 750C for 7 hours.

253-methylenedioxyanilino)-7-[2-(4-methylpiperazin-l-yl)ethoxy]-5-tetrahydropyran- 4-yloxyquinazoline difumarate salt (0.02 g) were added and the resultant mixture was stirred at 750C for 1 hour. The remainder of the fumaric acid solution was added during 1 hour whilst the temperature was maintained at 750C and the resultant mixture was stirred at 750C for 14 hours.

The mixture was cooled slowly over at least 2 hours to 200C and was stirred at that temperature for 1 hour. The crystalline solid was isolated by filtration, washed twice with a 10:1 mixture of isopropanol and water (50 ml and 100 ml respectively) and dried in vacuo at 450C to constant weight. There was thus obtained 4-(6-chloro-253-methylenedioxyanilino)- 7-[2-(4-methylpiperazin-l-yl)ethoxy]-5-tetrahydropyran-4-yloxyquinazoline difumarate salt (35.8 g); m.p. 234-237°C; NMR Spectrum: (DMSOd6) 1.76-1.88 (m, 2H)5 2.1-2.17 (m5 2H)5 2.33 (s5 3H)5 2.6 (br s, 8H), 2.78 (t, 2H), 3.51-3.6 (m, 2H), 3.83-3.9 (m, 2H), 4.24 (t, 2H)5 4.98-5.07 (m, IH), 6.07 (s, 2H)5 6.6 (s, 4H), 6.83 (d, IH)5 6.84 (d, IH)5 6.91 (d, IH)5 7.05 (d, IH)5 8.33 (s5 IH)5 9.18 (s5 IH).

The sample was allowed to evaporate slowly at ambient temperature to a volume of about 3 ml under a flow of air for 24 hours whereupon a precipitate had started to form. The mixture was placed in a refridgerator at 4°C for 2 days. The resultant precipitate was isolated by filtration and washed with water. There was thus obtained 4-(6-chloro-253-methylenedioxyanilino)-7-[2-(4-methylpiperazin-l-yl)ethoxy]- 5-tetrahydropyran-4-yloxyquinazoline as a sesquifumarate tetrahydrate salt (0.084 g) which was characterised using XRPD5 DSC5 TGA5 FTIR and solution NMR techniques.

A simplified process for the manufacture of AZD0530, a potent SRC kinase inhibitor

Abstract Image

Process research and development of a synthetic route towards a novel SRC kinase inhibitor is described. The Medicinal Chemistry route was very long and suffered from extensive use of chlorinated solvents and chromatography. A number of steps in the Medicinal Chemistry route were also unattractive for large-scale use for a variety of reasons. The route was modified to produce a shorter synthetic scheme that started from more readily available materials. By using the modified route, the title compound was manufactured on kilogram scale without recourse to chromatography and in significantly fewer steps. The scaled synthesis required two Mitsunobu couplings, which were developed and scaled successfully. An interesting hydrazine impurity was identified in the second Mitsunobu coupling; a mechanism for its formation is proposed, and a method for its control is described. The formation and control of some other interesting impurities are also described.

N-(5-Chloro-1,3-benzodioxol-4-yl)-7-[2-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)ethoxy]-5-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yloxy)quinazolin-4-amine Difumarate (AZD0530 Difumarate)

To a slurry of 30 (2.139 kg at 92% w/w, 4.73 mol) and DTAD (2.771 kg, 12.03 mol) in THF (31 L) at ambient temperature in a 100 L vessel was added a solution of triphenylphosphine (3.057 kg, 11.66 mol) in THF (8 L) over 15 min. A THF (2 L) line wash was applied, and the mixture was stirred for 10 min. The reaction mixture was cooled to 15 °C, and a filtered (to remove undissolved particulates) solution of 31 (1.050 L, 1.049 kg, 7.27 mol) in THF …DELETED…………………………….The mixture was filtered and the cake washed with IPA (7 L as a slurry wash and 7 L as a displacement wash) before drying to constant weight under reduced pressure at 50 °C to give AZD0530 difumarate (3.546 kg at 89% w/w, 4.08 mol, 86% yield).

Final Purification of N-(5-Chloro-1,3-benzodioxol-4-yl)-7-[2-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)ethoxy]-5-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yloxy)quinazolin-4-amine Difumarate (AZD0530 Difumarate)

AZD0530 difumarate (4.234 kg at 89% w/w, 4.87 mol) was refluxed in a mixture of IPA (10.L) and water (10.L, Fresenius). A solution was not obtained, so further IPA (450 mL) and water (450 mL, Fresenius) were added, and the mixture was refluxed. The resulting solution was cooled to 68 °C and screened over 3.5 min through a 20 μm in-line filter into a vessel preheated to 65 °C. IPA(20.4 L) at 65 °C was added via the first vessel and in-line filter, and the resulting solution was stirred at 65 °C for 2 h. Crystallisation was evident after 20 min. The mixture was allowed to self-cool to ambient temperature overnight before filtering and washing the cake with a mixture (prescreened through a 20 μm membrane) of water (640 mL) and IPA (5.76 L). The cake was washed with IPA (6.4 L, prescreened) and MTBE (6.4 L, prescreened) and dried to constant weight under reduced pressure at 50 °C to give AZD0530 difumarate (2.865 kg, at 95.2% w/w, 3.52 mol, 72% yield). Spectroscopic analysis was in agreement with the reported data…………Ford, J. G.; McCabe, J. F.; O’Kearney-McMullan, A.; O’Keefe, P.; Pointon, S. M.; Powell, L.; Purdie, M.; Withnall, J.

FULL STORY

http://www.dddmag.com/news/2014/05/taihos-colon-cancer-drug-ups-os-phase-3?et_cid=3937577&et_rid=523035093&type=cta

TAS-102 is an anti-cancer drug under development for colorectal cancer.[1]

Clinical trials

A phase II trial reported in 2011[2] and a phase III trial is due to end in 2014.[1][3]

Mechanism

TAS-102 consists of the cytotoxin trifluridine and the thymidine phosphorylase inhibitor (TPI) tipiracil.[4] Trifluridine is incorporated into DNA during DNA synthesis and inhibits tumor cell growth. Tipiracil protects trifluridine from being broken down when taken orally.[1]

Trifluridine

Trifluridine (also called trifluorothymidine or TFT) is an anti-herpesvirus antiviral drug, used primarily on the eye. It was sold under the trade name, Viroptic, by Glaxo Wellcome, now merged into GlaxoSmithKline. The brand is now owned by Monarch Pharmaceuticals, which is wholly owned by King Pharmaceuticals.

It is a nucleoside analogue, a modified form of deoxyuridine, similar enough to be incorporated into viral DNA replication, but the -CF3 group added to the uracil component blocks base pairing.

It is a component of the experimental anti-cancer drug TAS-102.

A Cochrane Systematic Review showed that trifluridine was a more effective treatment than idoxuridine or vidarabine, significantly increasing the relative number of successfully healed eyes in 14 days.[1]

Dovitinib lactate is the orally bioavailable lactate salt of a benzimidazole-quinolinone compound with potential antineoplastic activity. Dovitinib strongly binds to fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) and inhibits its phosphorylation, which may result in the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation and the induction of tumor cell death. In addition, this agent may inhibit other members of the RTK superfamily, including the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor; fibroblast growth factor receptor 1; platelet-derived growth factor receptor type 3; FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3; stem cell factor receptor (c-KIT); and colony-stimulating factor receptor 1; this may result in an additional reduction in cellular proliferation and angiogenesis, and the induction of tumor cell apoptosis. The activation of FGFR3 is associated with cell proliferation and survival in certain cancer cell types

Dovitinib (TKI258) is a highly potent, novel multitargeted growth factor receptor kinase inhibitor with IC50 of 1, 2, 10, 8, 27, 36 nM for FLT3, c-KIT, VEGFR1/2/3, PDGFRß and CSF-1R, respectively. It shows both antitumor and antiangiogenic activities in vivo. [1] It potently inhibits FGFR3 with an inhibitory concentration of 50% (IC50) of 5 nM in in vitro kinase assays and selectively inhibited the growth of B9 cells and human myeloma cell lines expressing wild-type (WT) or activated mutant FGFR3. Antiproliferative activity of Dovitinib (TKI258) against MV4;11 was ~24-fold greater compared with RS4;11, indicating more potent inhibition against cells with constitutively activated FLT3 ITD.

Dovitinib lactate is an angiogenesis inhibitor in phase III clinical trials at Novartis for the treatment of refractory advanced/metastatic renal cell cancer. Early clinical trials are also under way at the company for the oral treatment of several types of solid tumors, multiple myeloma and glioblastoma multiforme. Phase II trials are ongoing for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer and for the treatment of Von-Hippel Lindau disease, for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and for the treatment of colorectal cancer. Novartis and Seoul National University Hospital are conducting phase II clinical studies for the treatment of adenoid cystic carcinoma. Additional phase II clinical trials are ongoing at Asan Medical Center for the treatment of metastatic or advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). The University of Pennsylvania is conducting phase II clinical trials for the treatment of advanced malignant pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma. Phase II clinical studies are ongoing by Novartis for the treatment of advanced malignant pleural mesothelioma which has progressed following prior platinum-antifolate chemotherapy (DOVE-M) and for the oral treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

In 2009, Novartis discontinued development of dovitinib lactate for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) based on the observation of time dependent drug accumulation. A phase I trial was also stopped for the same reason.

The drug candidate has been shown to inhibit multiple growth factor tyrosine kinases, including vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) tyrosine kinases VEGFR1 and VEGFR2, fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) and platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) tyrosine kinases. In previous studies, the benzimidazole-quinoline inhibited VEGF-mediated human microvascular endothelial cell (HMVEC) proliferation and demonstrated concentration-dependent antiangiogenic activity in in vitro assays, as well as potent antiproliferative activity against a subset of cancer cell lines.

In 2013, an orphan drug designation was assigned in the U.S. for the treatment of adenoid cystic carcinoma.

Synthesis of 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-rnethyl-piperazin-1 -yl)-1 H-benzimidazol- 2-yl]-1 H-quinolin-2-one Procedure A

Figure imgf000068_0001

[0149] [6-(4-Methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-1 H-benzimidazol-2-yl]-acetic acid ethyl ester (250 g, 820 mmol) (dried with ethanol as described above) was dissolved in THF (3800 ml_) in a 5000 ml_ flask fitted with a condenser, mechanical stirrer, temperature probe, and purged with argon. 2-Amino-6-fluoro-benzonitrile (95.3 g, 700 mmol) was added to the solution, and the internal temperature was raised to 40°C. When all the solids had dissolved and the solution temperature had reached 4O0C, solid KHMDS (376.2 g, 1890 mmol) was added over a period of 5 minutes. When addition of the potassium base was complete, a heterogeneous yellow solution was obtained, and the internal temperature had risen to 62°C. After a period of 60 minutes, the internal temperature decreased back to 40°C, and the reaction was determined to be complete by HPLC (no starting material or uncyclized intermediate was present). The thick reaction mixture was then quenched by pouring it into H2O (6000 ml_) and stirring the resulting mixture until it had reached room temperature. The mixture was then filtered, and the filter pad was washed with water (1000 ml_ 2X). The bright yellow solid was placed in a drying tray and dried in a vacuum oven at 50°C overnight providing 155.3 g (47.9%) of the desired 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-1 H-benzimidazol-2- yl]-1 H-quinolin-2-one.

Procedure B

[0150] A 5000 mL 4-neck jacketed flask was equipped with a distillation apparatus, a temperature probe, a N2 gas inlet, an addition funnel, and a mechanical stirrer. [6-(4-Methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-1 H-benzimidazol-2-yl]-acetic acid ethyl ester (173.0 g, 570 mmol) was charged into the reactor, and the reactor was purged with N2 for 15 minutes. Dry THF (2600 mL) was then charged into the flask with stirring. After all the solid had dissolved, solvent was removed by distillation (vacuum or atmospheric (the higher temperature helps to remove the water) using heat as necessary. After 1000 mL of solvent had been removed, distillation was stopped and the reaction was purged with N2. 1000 mL of dry THF was then added to the reaction vessel, and when all solid was dissolved, distillation (vacuum or atmospheric) was again conducted until another 1000 mL of solvent had been removed. This process of adding dry THF and solvent removal was repeated at least 4 times (on the 4thdistillation, 60% of the solvent is removed instead of just 40% as in the first 3 distillations) after which a 1 mL sample was removed for Karl Fischer analysis to determine water content. If the analysis showed that the sample contained less than 0.20% water, then reaction was continued as described in the next paragraph. However, if the analysis showed more than 0.20% water, then the drying process described above was continued until a water content of less than 0.20% was achieved.

[0151] After a water content of less than or about 0.20% was achieved using the procedure described in the previous paragraph, the distillation apparatus was replaced with a reflux condenser, and the reaction was charged with 2-amino-6- fluoro-benzonitrile (66.2 g, 470 mmol)( in some procedures 0.95 equivalents is used). The reaction was then heated to an internal temperature of 38-420C. When the internal temperature had reached 38-420C, KHMDS solution (1313 g, 1.32 mol, 20% KHMDS in THF) was added to the reaction via the addition funnel over a period of 5 minutes maintaining the internal temperature at about 38-50°C during the addition. When addition of the potassium base was complete, the reaction was stirred for 3.5 to 4.5 hours (in some examples it was stirred for 30 to 60 minutes and the reaction may be complete within that time) while maintaining the internal temperature at from 38-420C. A sample of the reaction was then removed and analyzed by HPLC. If the reaction was not complete, additional KHMDS solution was added to the flask over a period of 5 minutes and the reaction was stirred at 38-420C for 45-60 minutes (the amount of KHMDS solution added was determined by the following: If the IPC ratio is < 3.50, then 125 ml_ was added; if 10.0 >IPC ratio >3.50, then 56 mL was added; if 20.0 ≥IPC ratio >10, then 30 mL was added. The IPC ratio is equal to the area corresponding to 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6- (4-methyl-piperazin-1 -yl)-1 H-benzimidazol-2-yl]-1 H-quinolin-2-one) divided by the area corresponding to the uncyclized intermediate). Once the reaction was complete (IPC ratio > 20), the reactor was cooled to an internal temperature of 25- 300C, and water (350 mL) was charged into the reactor over a period of 15 minutes while maintaining the internal temperature at 25-35°C (in one alternative, the reaction is conducted at 400C and water is added within 5 minutes. The quicker quench reduces the amount of impurity that forms over time). The reflux condenser was then replaced with a distillation apparatus and solvent was removed by distillation (vacuum or atmospheric) using heat as required. After 1500 mL of solvent had been removed, distillation was discontinued and the reaction was purged with N2. Water (1660 mL) was then added to the reaction flask while maintaining the internal temperature at 20-300C. The reaction mixture was then stirred at 20-300C for 30 minutes before cooling it to an internal temperature of 5- 100C and then stirring for 1 hour. The resulting suspension was filtered, and the flask and filter cake were washed with water (3 x 650 mL). The solid thus obtained was dried to a constant weight under vacuum at 5O0C in a vacuum oven to provide 103.9 g (42.6% yield) of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-1H- benzimidazol-2-yl]-1H-quinolin-2-one as a yellow powder.

Procedure C

Figure imgf000071_0001

[0152] [6-(4-Methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-1 H-benzimidazol-2-yl]-acetic acid ethyl ester (608 g, 2.01 mol) (dried) and 2-amino-6-fluoro-benzonitrile (274 g, 2.01 mol) were charged into a 4-neck 12 L flask seated on a heating mantle and fitted with a condenser, mechanical stirrer, gas inlet, and temperature probe. The reaction vessel was purged with N2, and toluene (7.7 L) was charged into the reaction mixture while it was stirred. The reaction vessel was again purged with N2 and maintained under N2. The internal temperature of the mixture was raised until a temperature of 630C (+/- 3°C) was achieved. The internal temperature of the mixture was maintained at 63°C (+/- 30C) while approximately 2.6 L of toluene was distilled from the flask under reduced pressure (380 +/- 10 torr, distilling head t = 40°C (+/- 1O0C) (Karl Fischer analysis was used to check the water content in the mixture. If the water content was greater than 0.03%, then another 2.6 L of toluene was added and distillation was repeated. This process was repeated until a water content of less than 0.03% was achieved). After a water content of less than 0.03% was reached, heating was discontinued, and the reaction was cooled under N2 to an internal temperature of 17-19°C. Potassium t-butoxide in THF (20% in THF; 3.39 kg, 6.04 moles potassium t-butoxide) was then added to the reaction under N2 at a rate such that the internal temperature of the reaction was kept below 20°C. After addition of the potassium t-butoxide was complete, the reaction was stirred at an internal temperature of less than 2O0C for 30 minutes. The temperature was then raised to 25°C, and the reaction was stirred for at least 1 hour. The temperature was then raised to 30°C, and the reaction was stirred for at least 30 minutes. The reaction was then monitored for completion using HPLC to check for consumption of the starting materials (typically in 2-3 hours, both starting materials were consumed (less than 0.5% by area % HPLC)). If the reaction was not complete after 2 hours, another 0.05 equivalents of potassium t-butoxide was added at a time, and the process was completed until HPLC showed that the reaction was complete. After the reaction was complete, 650 mL of water was added to the stirred reaction mixture. The reaction was then warmed to an internal temperature of 50°C and the THF was distilled away (about 3 L by volume) under reduced pressure from the reaction mixture. Water (2.6 L) was then added drop wise to the reaction mixture using an addition funnel. The mixture was then cooled to room temperature and stirred for at least 1 hour. The mixture was then filtered, and the filter cake was washed with water (1.2 L), with 70% ethanol (1.2 L), and with 95% ethanol (1.2 L). The bright yellow solid was placed in a drying tray and dried in a vacuum oven at 50°C until a constant weight was obtained providing 674 g (85.4%) of the desired 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-1 H- benzimidazol-2-yl]-1 H-quinolin-2-one.

Preparation of Lactic Acid salt of 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methyl-piperazin-1- yl)-1 H-benzimidazol-2-yl]-1 H-quinolin-2-one

Figure imgf000073_0001

D,L-Lactic Acid

Figure imgf000073_0002

[0154] A 3000 ml_ 4-necked jacketed flask was fitted with a condenser, a temperature probe, a N2 gas inlet, and a mechanical stirrer. The reaction vessel was purged with N2 for at least 15 minutes and then charged with 4-amino-5-fluoro- 3-[6-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-1 H-benzimidazol-2-yl]-1 H-quinoiin-2-one (484 g, 1.23 mol). A solution of D,L-Lactic acid (243.3 g, 1.72 mol of monomer-see the following paragraph), water (339 mL), and ethanol (1211 mL) was prepared and then charged to the reaction flask. Stirring was initiated at a medium rate, and the reaction was heated to an internal temperature of 68-720C. The internal temperature of the reaction was maintained at 68-72°C for 15-45 minutes and then heating was discontinued. The resulting mixture was filtered through a 10-20 micron frit collecting the filtrate in a 12 L flask. The 12 L flask was equipped with an internal temperature probe, a reflux condenser, an addition funnel, a gas inlet an outlet, and an overhead stirrer. The filtrate was then stirred at a medium rate and heated to reflux (internal temperature of about 780C). While maintaining a gentle reflux, ethanol (3,596 mL) was charged to the flask over a period of about 20 minutes. The reaction flask was then cooled to an internal temperature ranging from about 64-700C within 15-25 minutes and this temperature was maintained for a period of about 30 minutes. The reactor was inspected for crystals. If no crystals were present, then crystals of the lactic acid salt of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methyl- piperazin-1-yl)-1 H-benzimidazol-2-yl]-1 H-quinolin-2-one (484 mg, 0.1 mole %) were added to the flask, and the reaction was stirred at 64-7O0C for 30 minutes before again inspecting the flask for crystals.

[0155] Once crystals were present, stirring was reduced to a low rate and the reaction was stirred at 64-700C for an additional 90 minutes. The reaction was then cooled to about 00C over a period of about 2 hours, and the resulting mixture was filtered through a 25-50 micron fritted filter. The reactor was washed with ethanol (484 ml_) and stirred until the internal temperature was about 00C. The cold ethanol was used to wash the filter cake, and this procedure was repeated 2 more times. The collected solid was dried to a constant weight at 500C under vacuum in a vacuum oven yielding 510.7 g (85.7%) of the crystalline yellow lactic acid salt of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methyl-piperazin-1 -yl)-1 H-benzimidazol-2-yl]-1 H-quinolin- 2-one. A rubber dam or inert conditions were typically used during the filtration process. While the dry solid did not appear to be very hygroscopic, the wet filter cake tends to pick up water and become sticky. Precautions were taken to avoid prolonged exposure of the wet filter cake to the atmosphere.

[0156] Commercial lactic acid generally contains about 8-12% w/w water, and contains dimers and trimers in addition to the monomeric lactic acid. The mole ratio of lactic acid dimer to monomer is generally about 1.0:4.7. Commercial grade lactic acid may be used in the process described in the preceding paragraph as the monolactate salt preferentially precipitates from the reaction mixture.

[0157] It should be understood that the organic compounds according to the invention may exhibit the phenomenon of tautomerism.

Telintra is a small molecule product candidate designed to stimulate the production of blood cells in the bone marrow. Many conditions are characterized by depleted bone marrow, including myelodysplastic syndrome, a form of pre-leukemia in which the bone marrow produces insufficient levels of one or more of the 3 major blood elements (white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets). A reduction in blood cell levels is also a common, toxic effect of many standard chemotherapeutic drugs.

Ezatiostat is a liposomal small-molecule glutathione analog inhibitor of glutathione S-transferase (GST) P1-1 with hematopoiesis-stimulating activity. After intracellular de-esterification, the active form of ezatiostat binds to and inhibits GST P1-1, thereby restoring Jun kinase and MAPK pathway activities and promoting MAPK-mediated cellular proliferation and differentiation pathways. This agent promotes the proliferation and maturation of hematopoietic precursor cells, granulocytes, monocytes, erythrocytes and platelets

Ezatiostat hydrochloride is the hydrochloride acid addition salt of ezatiostat. Ezatiostat, also known as TLK199 or TER 199, is a compound of the formula:

 

Ezatiostat has been shown to induce the differentiation of HL-60 promyelocyte leukemia cells in vitro, to potentiate the activity of cytotoxic agents both in vitro and in vivo, and to stimulate colony formation of all three lineages of hematopoietic progenitor cells in normal human peripheral blood.

In preclinical testing, ezatiostat has been shown to increase white blood cell production in normal animals, as well as in animals in which white blood cells were depleted by treatment with cisplatin or fluorouracil. Similar effects may provide a new approach to treating myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

Many conditions, including MDS, a form of pre-leukemia in which the bone marrow produces insufficient levels of one or more of the three major blood elements (white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets), are characterized by depleted bone marrow. Myelosuppression, which is characterized by a reduction in blood cell levels and in a reduction of new blood cell generation in the bone marrow, is also a common, toxic effect of many standard chemotherapeutic drugs.

Ezatiostat hydrochloride in a liposomal injectable formulation was studied in a clinical trial for the treatment of MDS, and results from this trial, reported by Raza et al., J Hem. One, 2:20 (published online 13 May 2009), demonstrated that administration of TLK199 was well tolerated and resulted in multi-lineage hematologic improvement.

Ezatiostat hydrochloride in a tablet formulation has been evaluated in a clinical trial for the treatment of MDS, as reported by Raza et al., Blood, 113:6533-6540 (prepublished online 27 April 2009) and a single-patient report by Quddus et al., J Hem. One, 3:16 (published online 23 April 2010), and is currently being evaluated in clinical trials for the treatment of MDS and for severe chronic idiopathic neutropenia.

When used for treating humans, it is important that a crystalline therapeutic agent like ezatiostat hydrochloride retains its polymorphic and chemical stability, solubility, and other physicochemical properties over time and among various manufactured batches of the agent. If the physicochemical properties vary with time and among batches, the administration of a therapeutically effective dose becomes problematic and may lead to toxic side effects or to ineffective therapy, particularly if a given polymorph decomposes prior to use, to a less active, inactive, or toxic compound.

Therefore, it is important to choose a form of the crystalline agent that is stable, is manufactured reproducibly, and has physicochemical properties favorable for its use as a therapeutic agent.

Ezatiostat hydrochloride (USAN) has the molecular weight of 566.1, the trademark of Telintra®, and the CAS registry number of 286942-97-0. Ezatiostat hydrochloride has been evaluated for the treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), in a Phase I-IIa study using a liposomal formulation (U.S. Pat. No. 7,029,695), as reported at the 2005 Annual Meeting of the American Society for Hematology (Abstract #2250) and by Raza et al. in Journal of Hematology & Oncology, 2:20 (published online on 13 May 2009); and in a Phase I study using a tablet formulation, as reported at the 2007 Annual Meeting of the American Society for Hematology (Abstract #1454) and by Raza et al. in Blood, 113:6533-6540 (prepublished online on 27 Apr. 2009), and in a single patient case report by Quddus et al. in Journal of Hematology & Oncology, 3:16 (published online on 23 Apr. 2010).

EXAMPLESAs relevant and unless otherwise noted, all operations were conducted under nitrogen purge and with stirring. Water was osmosis purified, and solvents were filtered. Unless otherwise stated, all temperatures are in degrees Celcius (° C.) and the following abbreviations have the following definitions:Et EthylHCl(g) HCl gasN-BOC or N-Boc N-tertiarybutyloxycarbonylL LiterKg KilogramNMM N-methylmorpholineMol Molew/w weight by weightExample 1Preparation of S-benzyl-L-cysteinyl-D-phenylglycine ethyl ester hydrochloride (3)Without stirring, 45.1 Kg N-BOC-S-benzyl-L-cysteine (1) was added to a 600 L jacketed glass-lined reactor, followed by 45 L ethyl acetate. Stirring was started and the temperature was reduced to 13° C. NMM, 15.3 Kg, was added over 50 minutes, and rinsed in with 6 L ethyl acetate, and stirring stopped. Ethyl acetate, 315 L, was added to an 800 L cooled jacketed glass-lined reactor, followed by 20.7 Kg isobutyl chloroformate, rinsed in with 11 L ethyl acetate, and the mixture cooled to −10° C. The N-BOC-S-benzyl-L-cysteine NMM salt solution was added to the 800 L reactor over 5 hours, its reactor rinsed with 11 L ethyl acetate, and the rinse solution added to the 800 L reactor, while maintaining the temperature at (−10˜−7)° C. D-Phenylglycine ethyl ester hydrochloride, 31.2 Kg, was added in 8 portions over 50 minutes, followed by 15.3 Kg NMM in 8 portions over 1.3 hours, rinsed in with 2×5 L portions of ethyl acetate, allowing the mixture to warm to −1° C. by the end of the addition. The mixture was gradually warmed to 1° C. for 30 minutes, then to 20° C. over 2 hours, and maintained at (20˜25)° C. for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was washed twice with water: the first time adding 66 L water, stirring at room temperature for 40 minutes, allowing the phases to separate for 30 minutes, then removing the aqueous phase; the second time adding 68 L water, bringing the pH to 1.9 with the addition of 0.45 L 36% hydrochloric acid, stirring at room temperature for 35 minutes, allowing the phases to separate for 1 hour, then removing the aqueous phase. The organic phase was then heated to 38° C., and the pressure reduced to about 0.25 bar until no further gas was released, then to about (0.07-0.1) bar and solvents removed by distillation until 266 L of distillate had been removed. Four cycles of addition of 45 L ethyl acetate and removal of 45 L solvent by distillation were performed, and the water content of the remaining mixture was checked to ensure that it was below 0.1%. With the mixture at 36° C., 194 L heptanes was added, maintaining the temperature about 36° C., and held at that temperature for 2.3 hours. A further 194 L heptanes was added, allowing the temperature to cool to 30° C., and the temperature then reduced to −1° C. over 2.3 hours and then to −5° C. over 1 hour, and N-BOC-S-benzyl-L-cysteinyl-D-phenylglycine ethyl ester recovered by filtration, washing twice with 30 L each of heptanes at −5° C., giving 85 Kg (63 Kg dry basis) N-BOC-S-benzyl-L-cysteinyl-D-phenylglycine ethyl ester. Without stirring, the damp N-BOC-S-benzyl-L-cysteinyl-D-phenylglycine ethyl ester was loaded into an 800 L jacketed glass-lined reactor, followed by 257 L ethyl acetate. Stirring was started and the temperature brought to 22° C., then the nitrogen purge stopped and 12.2 Kg hydrogen chloride gas was added through an immersion tube over 1.8 hours, allowing the temperature to increase to 38° C. The temperature was increased to 41° C., and the mixture held at that temperature for 9 hours. About 280 L of solvents were removed by distillation at that temperature and a pressure of (0.2˜0.1) bar over about 2 hours. Two cycles of addition of ethyl acetate and removal of solvent by distillation were performed, using 52 L in the first cycle and 77 L in the second cycle, and the viscous solution of S-benzyl-L-cysteinyl-D-phenylglycine ethyl ester hydrochloride (3) in ethyl acetate, 148 Kg, was cooled to room temperature and filtered into a storage drum.Example 2Preparation of N-BOC-L-glutamic acid α-ethyl ester (6)Without stirring, 41 Kg N-BOC-L-glutamic acid γ-benzyl ester (4) was added to an 800 L jacketed glass-lined reactor, followed by 2.5 L water and 123 L ethyl acetate. The mixture was then stirred until the N-BOC-L-glutamic acid γ-benzyl ester completely dissolved, keeping the temperature below 15° C. Potassium carbonate fine powder, 23.4 Kg, was added in five batches, and the mixture then heated to 55° C. and maintained at that temperature for 40 minutes, giving a heterogeneous and completely fluid mixture. Diethyl sulfate, 26.2 Kg, was added over 2 hours, and rinsed in with 5 L ethyl acetate, with the temperature remaining at about 52° C. The nitrogen purge was stopped and a solution of 20 Kg ammonium chloride in 73 L water at room temperature added over 2 hours to the mixture, maintaining the temperature near 50° C., then rinsing in with 10 L water. Nitrogen purging was resumed, and the mixture was maintained at about 50° C. for 3 hours, then lowered to about 45° C., the stirring stopped, the phases allowed to separate for 30 minutes, and the lower, aqueous, phase removed. The organic phase, containing N-BOC-L-glutamic acid γ-benzyl α-ethyl ester (5), was washed three times with water, each time adding 41 L water, stirring at room temperature for 30 minutes, allowing the phases to separate for 30 minutes, then removing the aqueous phase. The organic phase was heated to 35° C., and the pressure reduced, starting at about 0.2 bar and reducing as necessary until 82 Kg solvent had been removed by distillation, leaving about (70˜80) L of slightly opalescent solution. This solution was heated to 53° C., and 102 L heptanes was added, maintaining the same temperature. The solution was then filtered, rinsing with a further 13 L heptanes, then cooled to 32° C. to cause crystallization and maintained at that temperature for 1 hour. A further 66 L heptanes was added, and the mixture cooled to 22° C. and held for 1 hour, then cooled to −5° C. and held for another 1 hour. The mixture was then filtered to isolate the N-BOC-L-glutamic acid γ-benzyl α-ethyl ester (5), which was washed twice, each time with 25 L heptanes cooled to (−5˜0)° C., and dried under vacuum at 40° C., giving 39.3 Kg N-BOC-L-glutamic acid γ-benzyl α-ethyl ester (5).A 4000 L hydrogenator was purged with nitrogen, then under nitrogen sweep and no stirring loaded with 39.2 Kg N-BOC-L-glutamic acid γ-benzyl α-ethyl ester (5), 2.0 Kg 5% palladium on carbon, and 432 L ethyl acetate, and purged (3 bar) and decompressed (0.2 bar) twice with nitrogen and twice with hydrogen. Stirring was begun and the mixture heated to (37±2)° C., hydrogenated at that temperature under 2.8 bar hydrogen pressure until no further hydrogen absorption occurred, then held under 2.8 bar hydrogen pressure for 12 hours. Completion of hydrogenation was confirmed by thin-layer chromatography of a sample. The mixture was cooled to 28° C., the hydrogen purged from the hydrogenator, and the hydrogenator purged (2 bar) and decompressed (0.2 bar) twice with nitrogen. The mixture was filtered through a filter precoated with 10 Kg powdered cellulose in 200 L ethyl acetate, then the filter washed with the ethyl acetate used to form the precoat, giving a total of 626 Kg of a dilute ethyl acetate solution containing 29.5 Kg N-BOC-L-glutamic acid α-ethyl ester (6). This was distilled at (35˜40)° C. and (0.16˜0.18) bar to give 67 L of concentrated solution, then 29 L of ethyl acetate added and the solution redistilled to again give 67 L of concentrated solution.Example 3Preparation of Ezatiostat HydrochlorideThe concentrated solution of N-BOC-L-glutamic acid α-ethyl ester (6), 61.2 Kg (containing 27.8 Kg N-BOC-L-glutamic acid α-ethyl ester), was added to a 600 L jacketed glass-lined reactor, rinsed in with 5 L ethyl acetate, then cooled to 14° C. NMM, 10.8 Kg, was added over 50 minutes and rinsed in with 5 L ethyl acetate, then stirring stopped, giving an ethyl acetate solution of N-BOC-L-glutamic acid α-ethyl ester NMM salt. Ethyl acetate, 475 L, was added to a 1300 L cooled jacketed glass-lined reactor, followed by 14.5 Kg isobutyl chloroformate, rinsed in with 2×10 L ethyl acetate, and the mixture cooled to −11° C. The N-BOC-L-glutamic acid α-ethyl ester NMM salt solution was added to the 1300 L reactor over 1.3 hours, its reactor rinsed with 10 L ethyl acetate, and the rinse solution added to the 1300 L reactor, then stirred for an additional 30 minutes, while maintaining the temperature at about −13° C.S-benzyl-L-cysteinyl-D-phenylglycine ethyl ester hydrochloride (3) in ethyl acetate, 112 Kg (containing 41.3 Kg S-benzyl-L-cysteinyl-D-phenylglycine ethyl ester hydrochloride) was added in 4 portions over 45 minutes, and rinsed in with 5 L ethyl acetate, followed by 10.8 Kg NMM in 8 portions over 1.3 hours, rinsed in with 2×5 L portions of ethyl acetate, allowing the mixture to warm to −4° C. by the end of the addition. The mixture was gradually warmed to 30° C. over 2 hours, and maintained at (30˜35)° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was washed twice with water: the first time adding 100 L water, heating to 41° C., allowing the phases to separate for 30 minutes, then removing the aqueous phase; the second time adding 100 L water, bringing the pH to 2.0 with the addition of 0.8 L 36% hydrochloric acid, stirring at 43° C. for 30 minutes, allowing the phases to separate for 1 hour, then removing the aqueous phase. The organic phase was then heated to 42° C., and the pressure reduced to about 0.25 bar until no further gas was released and solvents removed by distillation until 495 L of distillate had been removed. Four cycles of addition of 120 L ethyl acetate and removal of 120 L solvent by distillation were performed, and the water content of the remaining mixture was checked to ensure that it was below 0.1%. With the mixture at 42° C., 610 L of ethyl acetate was added, maintaining the temperature about 41° C., then heating to 58° C. to ensure dissolution. The solution was filtered, rinsing the filter with 18 L ethyl acetate, and the solution allowed to cool to 22° C. The nitrogen purge was stopped and 22.2 Kg hydrogen chloride gas was added through an immersion tube over 2 hours, then the mixture held at that temperature for 2 hours. The mixture was heated to 31° C. over 1.5 hours, and held at about that temperature for 15.5 hours. Solvents were removed by distillation at 33° C. and a pressure of about 0.13 bar over about 1.5 hours to give a volume of concentrated solution of about 630 L. Ethyl acetate, 100 L, was added, and the mixture cooled to 25° C. and held at that temperature for 30 minutes. The crude ezatiostat hydrochloride was recovered by filtration and washed with 30 L ethyl acetate, giving 113 Kg damp crude ezatiostat hydrochloride, which was dried at 40° C. under vacuum for 24 hours to give 52.8 Kg dry crude ezatiostat hydrochloride.Example 4Crystallization of Ezatiostat Hydrochloride to Form Pure Crystalline Ezatiostat Hydrochloride Ansolvate Form D61.5 Kg crude ezatiostat hydrochloride was added to a reactor at room temperature, followed by 399 liter (L) ethanol, and this mixture was heated to 68° C. to completely dissolve the ezatiostat hydrochloride, filtered, then allowed to cool to 65° C. and checked for clarity and the absence of crystallization. About 1.3 Kg of ezatiostat hydrochloride ansolvate form D was suspended in 9 L of ethyl acetate, and about one-half of this suspension was added to the ethanol solution. The mixture was cooled to 63° C. and the second half of the suspension added to the mixture. The resulting mixture was cooled gradually to 45° C., 928 L ethyl acetate was added, and the mixture was cooled to 26° C. and held at about that temperature for about 5 hours, then cooled to −2° C. The mixture, containing crystalline ezatiostat hydrochloride ansolvate, was filtered, and the residue washed twice with 65 L of chilled (0-5° C.) ethyl acetate. The crystalline ezatiostat hydrochloride ansolvate was dried at 30° C. for 48 hours, then cooled to room temperature and sieved. Analysis of the material by DSC and XRPD confirmed its identity as crystalline ezatiostat hydrochloride ansolvate, and Karl Fischer analysis showed a water content of 0.1%.Example 5Purifying Ezatiostat Hydrochloride Crystals to Form Pure Crystalline Ezatiostat Hydrochloride Ansolvate Form DCrude ezatiostat hydrochloride, 51.4 Kg, was added to a 600 L jacketed glass-lined reactor at room temperature, followed by 334 L of ethanol. The mixture was heated to 68° C. to completely dissolve the ezatiostat hydrochloride. The resulting solution was filtered into a 1300 L jacketed glass-lined reactor, and an additional 27 L ethanol warmed to 66° C. used to rinse the first reactor into the second reactor through the filter. The resulting solution in the second reactor was cooled to 63° C. and checked for complete dissolution; then 4 L of a seeding suspension of crystalline ezatiostat hydrochloride ansolvate in ethyl acetate was added, and the mixture cooled to 60° C. The remaining 4 L of the seeding suspension was added, and the mixture cooled to 47° C. over 2 hours. The solids in the mixture were shown by DSC to contain more than one form of ezatiostat hydrochloride, so the stages of heating to dissolution, cooling, and adding seeding suspension (this time 2×2 L), were repeated, then the mixture cooled to 41° C. This time the solids in the mixture were confirmed by DSC to be crystalline ezatiostat hydrochloride ansolvate. Ethyl acetate, 776 L, was added, and the mixture was cooled to 25° C. over 1.3 hours and further to 20° C. over an additional 5 hours, then cooled to −3° C. The mixture, containing crystalline ezatiostat hydrochloride ansolvate, was filtered and the solids washed twice with 54 L each of chilled (−5˜0)° C. ethyl acetate. The damp solids of crystalline ezatiostat hydrochloride ansolvate, 70 Kg, were dried in a vacuum oven at 25° C. for 16 hours, 35° C. for 7 hours, then at room temperature for 1 hour, then sieved. The crystalline ezatiostat hydrochloride ansolvate, 44.2 Kg, had a loss on drying at 40° C. under vacuum for 2 hours of 0.09%, and a water content by Karl Fischer analysis of 0.09%.

Example 1. Preparation Of Ezatiostat Hydrochloride Ansolvate By Slurrying

[0082] Ezatiostat hydrochloride monohydrate was added to methyl tert-butyl ether at room temperature in excess, so that undissolved solids were present. The mixture was then agitated in a sealed vial at room temperature for 4 days, and the solids were then isolated by suction filtration. XRPD analysis of the solids established that the isolated solids were ezatiostat hydrochloride ansolvate.

[0083] Ezatiostat hydrochloride monohydrate was added to hexanes at 60 °C in excess, so that undissolved solids were present. The mixture was then agitated in a sealed vial at 60 °C for 4 days, and the solids were then isolated by suction filtration. XRPD analysis of the solids established that the isolated solids were ezatiostat hydrochloride ansolvate.

Example 2. Preparation Of Crystalline Ezatiostat Hydrochloride Ansolvate By Heating

[0084] DSC of crystalline ezatiostat hydrochloride monohydrate showed the pattern in FIG. 1, as discussed in paragraph above. Hot stage microscopy showed an initial melt followed by a recrystallization at 153 °C and a final melt at 166 °C. VT-XRPD, where XRPD patterns were obtained at 28 °C, 90 °C, and 160 °C during heating, and 28 °C after cooling of the formerly heated material, showed the presence of ezatiostat hydrochloride monohydrate at 28 °C and 90 °C during heating and of crystalline ezatiostat hydrochloride ansolvate at 160 °C and 28 °C after cooling of the formerly heated material. This confirmed that the transition at around 153/156 °C was a conversion of ezatiostat hydrochloride monohydrate form A to crystalline ezatiostat hydrochloride ansolvate form D and that the final DSC endothermic peak at about 177 °C (166 °C in the hot stage microscopy) was due to the melting of crystalline ezatiostat hydrochloride ansolvate. This was further confirmed by XRPD of the TG-IR material, where XRPD patterns obtained at room temperature both before and after heating to about 160 °C showed that the material before heating was form A and that the material after heating was form D ansolvate. DSC of crystalline ezatiostat hydrochloride ansolvate prepared by recrystallization showed the pattern in FIG. 5, with only the endothermic peak at about

177 °C followed by a broad endotherm at about (205 – 215) °C. Accordingly, the presence of the DSC endothermic peak at about 177 °C, for example at (177±2) °C, when measured under the conditions described above, is considered characteristic of crystalline ezatiostat hydrochloride ansolvate, and the substantial absence of thermal events at temperatures below this is considered indicative of the absence of other forms of ezatiostat hydrochloride

Ezatiostat, also known as TLK199 or TER 199, is a compound of the formula:

 

[0003] Ezatiostat has been shown to induce the differentiation of HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells in vitro, to potentiate the activity of cytotoxic agents both in vitro and in vivo, and to stimulate colony formation of all three lineages of hematopoietic progenitor cells in normal human peripheral blood. In preclinical testing, ezatiostat has been shown to increase white blood cell production in normal animals, as well as in animals in which white blood cells were depleted by treatment with cisplatin or fluorouracil. Similar effects may provide a new approach to treating myelodysplasia syndrome (MDS).

[0004] Many conditions, including MDS, a form of pre-leukemia in which the bone marrow produces insufficient levels of one or more of the three major blood elements (white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets), are characterized by depleted bone marrow.

Myelosuppression, which is characterized by a reduction in blood cell levels and in a reduction of new blood cell generation in the bone marrow, is also a common, toxic effect of many standard chemotherapeutic drugs.

[0005] Ezatiostat hydrochloride is the hydrochloride acid addition salt of ezatiostat.

Ezatiostat hydrochloride in a liposomal injectable formulation was studied in a clinical trial for the treatment of MDS, and results from this trial, reported by Raza et al., J. Hem. One, 2:20 (published online 13 May 2009), demonstrated that administration of TLK199 was well tolerated and resulted in multi-lineage hematologic improvement. Ezatiostat hydrochloride in a tablet formulation has been evaluated in a clinical trial for the treatment of MDS, as reported by Raza et al, Blood, 113:6533-6540 (prepublished online 27 April 2009) and a single-patient report by Quddus et al, J. Hem. One, 3:16 (published online 23 April 2010), and is currently being evaluated in clinical trials for the treatment of MDS and for severe chronic idiopathic neutropenia.

Example 1

[0048] 80 mg of crystalline ezatiostat hydrochloride was placed in a round bottom flask and dissolved in 25 mL of methanol. The solvent was then evaporated on a rotary evaporation apparatus under reduced pressure at 30 °C. After 30 minutes, the solid sample was removed from the round bottom flask and stored in a sealed vial at 2 °C in a refrigerator. Analysis of this sample was carried out within 24 hours of removing it from the rotary evaporation apparatus.

[0049] The resulting amorphous material was analyzed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, DSC, and X-Ray powder diffraction experiments. The DSC conditions were 30 to 300 °C at 10 °C/ min using 7 mg of the amorphous material. The X-Ray powder diffraction was taken at 0-60 of 2theta. The crystalline ezatiostat hydrochloride was also analyzed.

Phase II trials: Ezatiostat is the first GSTP1-1 inhibitor shown to cause clinically significant and sustained reduction in RBC transfusions, transfusion independence, and multilineage responses in MDS patients. The tolerability and activity profile of ezatiostat may offer a new treatment option for patients with MDS. (source:  Cancer. 2012 Apr 15;118(8):2138-47.)

Amgen-AstraZeneca Psoriasis Drug Brodalumab (AMG 827) Hits Phase 3 Endpoints


 

 

AstraZeneca and Amgen announced that the Phase 3 AMAGINE-1TM study evaluating brodalumab in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis met all primary and secondary endpoints for both evaluated doses.

Read more… http://www.dddmag.com/news/2014/05/amgen-astrazeneca-psoriasis-drug-hits-phase-3-endpoints?et_cid=3935059&et_rid=523035093&type=cta

Brodalumab is a human monoclonal antibody designed for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.[1] It is being tested for the treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis[2] in Phase III clinical trials as of November 2013.[3][4]

Brodalumab was developed by Amgen, Inc.

Mechanism of action

Brodalumab binds to the interleukin-17 receptor and so prevents interleukin 17 (IL-17) from activating the receptor. This mechanism is similar to that of another anti-psoriasis antibody, ixekizumab, which however binds to IL-17 itself.[2]
At present, brodalumab is the only experimental drug in development that inhibits the IL-17 receptor, thus inhibiting several of the IL-17 ligands at once from transmitting signals to the body. Other agents currently in development seek to target the individual IL-17 ligands. By inhibiting the attachment of these ligands with the receptor, brodalumab stops the body from receiving signals that may otherwise cause inflammation and other ailments.

Researchers are currently investigating brodalumab for the treatment of psoriasis (Phase II and planned Phase III), asthma (Phase II), and psoriatic arthritis (Phase II).

Psoriasis is a chronic disease of the immune system that causes the skin cells to grow at a faster rate. Worldwide, the condition affects around 125 million individuals. Even though several types of psoriasis exist, around 80% of sufferers have plaque psoriasis. Plaque psoriasis can cause painful and itchy red, scaly patches to appear on the skin.

About Brodalumab (AMG 827)

Brodalumab is a novel human monoclonal antibody that binds to the interleukin-17 (IL-17) receptor and inhibits inflammatory signaling by blocking the binding of several IL-17 ligands to the receptor. By stopping IL-17 ligands from activating the receptor, brodalumab prevents the body from receiving signals that may lead to inflammation. The IL-17 pathway plays a central role in inducing and promoting inflammatory disease processes. In addition to moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis (Phase 3), brodalumab is currently being investigated for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis (Phase 3) and asthma (Phase 2).

About the Amgen and AstraZeneca Collaboration

In April 2012, Amgen and AstraZeneca formed a collaboration to jointly develop and commercialize five monoclonal antibodies from Amgen’s clinical inflammation portfolio. With oversight from joint governing bodies, Amgen leads clinical development and commercialization for brodalumab (Phase 3 for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, Phase 2 for asthma) and AMG 557/MEDI5872 (Phase 1b for autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus). AstraZeneca, through its biologics arm MedImmune, leads clinical development and commercialization for MEDI7183/AMG 181 (Phase 2 for ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease), MEDI2070/AMG 139 (Phase 2 for Crohn’s disease) and MEDI9929/AMG 157 (Phase 2 for asthma).

学術面で最初の講演は、米国のJames Krueger教授による「Th1細胞,Th17細胞,Th22細胞が複雑なサイトカインネットワークによって、細胞レベル、分子レベルで乾癬を引き起こす」でした。その要約を示すスライドを幾枚か失敬します(Krueger先生、ごめんなさい)。

乾 癬の原因究明、病態(病気の起こり方)解明の主役となった免疫学的研究の最先端を行くKrueger先生の、最新情報がコンパクトにまとまった素晴らしい 講演でした。生物学的製剤の治療根拠となるサイトカインネットワークは、現在TipDC – Th17経路によって、きわめて明快に説明されるようになり、Th17細胞が放出するIL17が表皮細胞(ケラチノサイト)の乾癬化を起こします。現在使 用されている抗TNFα製剤、抗IL12/23製剤が、より上流(免疫反応の根っこ)で免疫反応を抑制するのに比べ、IL17はより末梢における乾癬の原 因サイトカインであることから、IL17の抑制は、より乾癬をピンポイントで、そして副作用もミニマムにすることが期待される。

現在、3種類のIL17抑制薬剤が開発され、治療研究が進められている。
①IL17A抗体(Secukinumab Novartis社)
②IL17A抗体(Ixekizumab Lilly社)
③IL17A受容体抗体(Brodalumab Amgen社)


その一つ、Secukinumabの効果(PASI75)=すごく乾癬がよくなる)では、たった3回の注射で90%以上の患者がPASI75を達成する。


PASI90(=乾癬がほとんどなくなる)でみても、60%の患者で達成されている。

Ixekizumabの効果(PASI90)。約80%の患者で達成されている。驚異的である。

Brodalumabの臨床効果

印象深かった講演をもう一つ、詳細に紹介いたします。
米 国のAnne Bowcock教授の”The genetics of psoriasis: Old risks, novel loci (乾癬の遺伝子研究:昔から言われていた異常、新しく見つかった場所)です。Bowcock教授は、乾癬の原因遺伝子について世界で最初に報告した研究者 です。ここでも少し講演スライドを拝借(Bowcock先生、ごめんなさい)。

Bowcock 教授は1999年、乾癬家系の詳細な遺伝子調査から第17染色体に乾癬と関わり深い遺伝子異常があることをみつけ、科学雑誌Scienceに報告した。 21世紀を迎える直前のことであり、遠からず乾癬の原因遺伝子が確定し、完治治療を開発することも夢ではないと、当時期待したものでした。
ところが、次々と関連遺伝子はみつけられるものの(現在は30種類以上)、肝心の原因遺伝子、特定のタンパク、メカニズムは不明のままでした。

Bowcock 教授の息の長い研究は、第17染色体上にあるCARD14と呼ばれるタンパクの、その異常が直接乾癬を起こすことを説き明かしました。CARD14は細胞 膜上にあるタンパクで、細胞外で起こる炎症から生じる様々な刺激物質を、細胞の膜から細胞の中へ伝える役割を果たしています。その伝達経路はNFκBを介 しています(乾癬ではこの経路が活発に動いていることが、高知大学の佐野教授により解明されました)。

遺伝性膿疱性乾癬患者では、このCARD14遺伝子に点突然変異が起こっていることを発見しました。この点突然変異だけで、特殊タイプではありますが、乾癬の原因が特定されたのです。

点突然変異だけではなく、CARD14遺伝子に起こりやすい変異も、ほかの遺伝子異常(PSORS1、MHC遺伝子)、あるいは環境変化が加わると乾癬を引き起こすことも証明しました。

大変感銘深い講演でした。

Odanacatib (pINN; codenamed MK-0822) is an investigational treatment for osteoporosis and bone metastasis. It is an inhibitor of cathepsin K,  an enzyme involved in bone resorption. It is being developed by Merck & Co. As of November 2009, Merck is conducting phase III clinical trials.

  Odanacatib, also known as MK-0822,  is an inhibitor of cathepsin K with potential anti-osteoporotic activity. Odanacatib selectively binds to and inhibits the activity of cathepsin K, which may result in a reduction in bone resorption, improvement of bone mineral density, and a reversal in osteoporotic changes. Cathepsin K, a tissue-specific cysteine protease that catalyzes degradation of bone matrix proteins such as collagen I/II, elastin, and osteonectin plays an important role in osteoclast function and bone resorption

Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by excessive bone loss causing skeletal fragility and an increased risk of fracture. One in two women and one in eight men over the age of 50 will have an osteoporotic fracture. Cathepsin K is a recently discovered member of the papain superfamily of cysteine proteases that is abundantly expressed in osteoclasts, the cells responsible for bone resorption.
MK-0822 is in phase III clinical trials at Merck & Co. for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Several phase II trials had been ongoing for the treatment of cancer, specifically for the treatment of women with breast cancer and metastatic bone disease and also for the treatment of osteoarthritis in the knee and for the treatment of arthritis; however, no recent development has been reported for these indications. MSD KK (formed in 2010 following the merger of Banyu and Schering-Plough KK) is developing the compound for the treatment of osteoporosis in Japan.
Bone is a living tissue that is remodeled every five to seven years in a dynamic process governed by the balance between bone formation and resorption in which osteoblasts and osteoclasts play a pivotal role. The abundant and selective expression of Cathepsin K in osteoclasts has made it an attractive therapeutic target for the treatment of osteoporosis.
Odanacatib (MK-0822) 1 has been identified as a potent and selective inhibitor of Cathepsin K.

A variety of disorders in humans and other mammals involve or are associated with abnormal bone resorption. Such disorders include, but are not limited to, osteoporosis, glucocorticoid induced osteoporosis, Paget’s disease, abnormally increased bone turnover, periodontal disease, tooth loss, bone fractures, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, periprosthetic osteolysis, osteogenesis imperfecta, metastatic bone disease, hypercalcemia of malignancy, and multiple myeloma. One of the most common of these disorders is osteoporosis, which in its most frequent manifestation occurs in postmenopausal women. Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterized by a low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, with a consequent increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture. Osteoporotic fractures are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly population. As many as 50% of women and a third of men will experience an osteoporotic fracture. A large segment of the older population already has low bone density and a high risk of fractures. There is a significant need to both prevent and treat osteoporosis and other conditions associated with bone resorption. Because osteoporosis, as well as other disorders associated with bone loss, are generally chronic conditions, it is believed that appropriate therapy will typically require chronic treatment.

Osteoporosis is characterized by progressive loss of bone architecture and mineralization leading to the loss in bone strength and an increased fracture rate. The skeleton is constantly being remodeled by a balance between osteoblasts that lay down new bone and osteoclasts that breakdown, or resorb, bone. In some disease conditions and advancing age the balance between bone formation and resorption is disrupted; bone is removed at a faster rate. Such a prolonged imbalance of resorption over formation leads to weaker bone structure and a higher risk of fractures. Bone resorption is primarily performed by osteoclasts, which are multinuclear giant cells. Osteoclasts resorb bone by forming an initial cellular attachment to bone tissue, followed by the formation of an extracellular compartment or lacunae. The lacunae are maintained at a low pH by a proton-ATP pump. The acidified environment in the lacunae allows for initial demineralization of bone followed by the degradation of bone proteins or collagen by proteases such as cysteine proteases. See Delaisse, J. M. et al, 1980, Biochem J 192:365-368; Delaisse, J. et ah, 1984, Biochem Biophys Res Commun:44l-447; Delaisse, J. M. et α/., 1987, Bone 8^305-313, which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. Collagen constitutes 95 % of the organic matrix of bone. Therefore, proteases involved in collagen degradation are an essential component of bone turnover, and as a consequence, the development and progression of osteoporosis.

Cathepsins belong to the papain superfamily of cysteine proteases. These proteases function in the normal physiological as well as pathological degradation of connective tissue. Cathepsins play a major role in intracellular protein degradation and turnover and remodeling. To date, a number of cathepsin have been identified and sequenced from a number of sources. These cathepsins are naturally found in a wide variety of tissues. For example, cathepsin B, F, H, L, K, S, W, and Z have been cloned. Cathepsin K (which is also known by the abbreviation cat K) is also known as cathepsin O and cathepsin O2. See PCT Application WO 96/13523, Khepri Pharmaceuticals, Inc., published May 9, 1996, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Cathepsin L is implicated in normal lysosomal proteolysis as well as several diseases states, including, but not limited to, metastasis of melanomas. Cathepsin S is implicated in Alzheimer’s disease and certain autoimmune disorders, including, but not limited to juvenile onset diabetes, multiple sclerosis, pemphigus vulgaris, Graves’ disease, myasthenia gravis, systemic lupus erythemotasus, rheumatoid arthritis and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis; allergic disorders, including, but not limited to asthma; and allogenic immunbe responses, including, but not limited to, rejection of organ transplants or tissue grafts. Increased Cathepsin B levels and redistribution of the enzyme are found in tumors, suggesting a role in tumor invasion and matastasis. In addition, aberrant Cathpsin B activity is implicated in such disease states as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, pneumocystisis carinii, acute pancreatitis, inflammatory airway disease and bone and joint disorders.

Cysteine protease inhibitors such as E-64 (trαns-epoxysuccinyl-L- leucylamide-(4-guanidino) butane) are known to be effective in inhibiting bone resorption. See Delaisse, J. M. et al., 1987, Bone 8:305-313, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Recently, cathepsin K was cloned and found specifically expressed in osteoclasts See Tezuka, K. et al., 1994, J Biol Chem 269:1106-1109; Shi, G. P. et αZ.,1995, EEES Lett 357: 129-134; Bromme, D. and Okamoto, K., 1995, Biol Chem Hoppe Seyler 376:379-384; Bromme, D. et al, 1996, J Biol Chem 271:2126-2132: Drake, F. H. et al, 1996, J Biol Chem 271:12511- 12516, which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. Concurrent to the cloning, the autosomal recessive disorder, pycnodysostosis, characterized by an osteopetrotic phenotype with a decrease in bone resorption, was mapped to mutations present in the cathepsin K gene. To date, all mutations identified in the cathepsin K gene are known to result in inactive protein. See Gelb, B. D. et al., 1996, Science 273:1236-1238; Johnson, M. R. et al., 1996, Genome Res 6:1050-1055, which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. Therefore, it appears that cathepsin K is involved in osteoclast mediated bone resorption.

Cathepsin K is synthesized as a 37 kDa pre-pro enzyme, which is localized to the lysosomal compartment and where it is presumably autoactivated to the mature 27 kDa enzyme at low pH. See McQueney, M. S. et al., 1997, J Biol Chem 272:13955-13960; Littlewood-Evans, A. et al, 1997, Bone 20:81-86, which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. Cathepsin K is most closely related to cathepsin S having 56 % sequence identity at the amino acid level. The S2P2 substrate specificity of cathepsin K is similar to that of cathepsin S with a preference in the PI and P2 positions for a positively charged residue such as arginine, and a hydrophobic residue such as phenylalanine or leucine, respectively. See Bromme, D. et al., 1996, J Biol Chem 271: 2126-2132; Bossard, M. J. et al, 1996, J Biol Chem 271:12517-12524, which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. Cathepsin K is active at a broad pH range with significant activity between pH 4-8, thus allowing for good catalytic activity in the resorption lacunae of osteoclasts where the pH is about 4-5.

Human type I collagen, the major collagen in bone is a good substrate for cathepsin K. See Kafienah, W., et al, 1998, Biochem J 331:727-732, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. In vitro experiments using antisense oligonucleotides to cathepsin K, have shown diminished bone resorption in vitro, which is probably due to a reduction in translation of cathepsin K mRNA. See Inui, T., et al, 1997, Biol Chem 272:8109-8112, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. The crystal structure of cathepsin K has been resolved. See McGrath, M.

Also, selective peptide based inhibitors of cathepsin K have been developed See Bromme, D., et al, 1996, Biochem 315:85-89; Thompson, S. K., et al, 1997, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 94: 14249-14254, which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. Accordingly, inhibitors of Cathepsin K can reduce bone resorption. Such inhibitors would be useful in treating disorders involving bone resorption, such as osteoporosis.

Abstract Image

An enantioselective synthesis of the Cathepsin K inhibitor odanacatib (MK-0822) 1 is described. The key step involves the novel stereospecific SN2 triflate displacement of a chiral α-trifluoromethylbenzyl triflate 9a with (S)-γ-fluoroleucine ethyl ester 3 to generate the required α-trifluoromethylbenzyl amino stereocenter. The triflate displacement is achieved in high yield (95%) and minimal loss of stereochemistry. The overall synthesis of 1 is completed in 6 steps in 61% overall yield.
