Tirzepatide, sold under the brand name Mounjaro,[1] is a medication used for the treatment type 2 diabetes.[2][3][4] Tirzepatide is given by injection under the skin.[2] Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite, constipation, upper abdominal discomfort and abdominal pain.[2]
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) are hormones involved in blood sugar control.[2] Tirzepatide is a first-in-class medication that activates both the GLP-1 and GIP receptors, which leads to improved blood sugar control.[2] Tirzepatide was approved for medical use in the United States in May 2022.[2]

The large-scale manufacture of complex synthetic peptides is challenging due to many factors such as manufacturing risk (including failed product specifications) as well as processes that are often low in both yield and overall purity. To overcome these liabilities, a hybrid solid-phase peptide synthesis/liquid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS/LPPS) approach was developed for the synthesis of tirzepatide. Continuous manufacturing and real-time analytical monitoring ensured the production of high-quality material, while nanofiltration provided intermediate purification without difficult precipitations. Implementation of the strategy worked very well, resulting in a robust process with high yields and purity.

Medical uses
Tirzepatide in indicated to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes, as an addition to diet and exercise.[2]
Contraindications
Tirzepatide should not be used in people with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or in people with multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2.[2]
Adverse effects
Preclinical, phase I, and phase II trials have indicated that tirzepatide exhibits similar adverse effects to other established GLP-1 receptor agonists, such as GLP-1 receptor agonist dulaglutide. These effects occur largely within the gastrointestinal tract.[5] The most frequently observed adverse effects are nausea, diarrhoea and vomiting, which increased in incidence with the dosage amount (i.e. higher likelihood the higher the dose). The number of patients who discontinued taking tirzepatide also increased as dosage increased, with patients taking 15 mg having a 25% discontinuation rate vs 5.1% for 5 mg patients and 11.1% for dulaglutide.[6] To a slightly lesser extent, patients also reported reduced appetite.[5] Other side effects reported were dyspepsia, constipation, abdominal pain, dizziness and hypoglycaemia.[7][8]
Pharmacology
Tirzepatide is an analogue of gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), a human hormone which stimulates the release of insulin from the pancreas. Tirzepatide is a linear polypeptide of 39 amino acids which has been chemically modified by lipidation to improve its uptake into cells and its stability to metabolism.[9] The compound is administered as a weekly subcutaneous injection.[10] It completed phase III trials globally in 2021.[11][12]
Mechanism of action
Tirzepatide has a greater affinity to GIP receptors than to GLP-1 receptors, and this dual agonist behaviour has been shown to produce greater reductions of hyperglycemia compared to a selective GLP-1 receptor agonist.[3] Signaling studies have shown that this is due to tirzepatide mimicking the actions of natural GIP at the GIP receptor.[13] However, at the GLP-1 receptor, tirzepatide shows bias towards cAMP (a messenger associated with regulation of glycogen, sugar and lipid metabolism) generation, rather than β-arrestin recruitment. This combination of preference towards GIP receptor and distinct signaling properties at GLP-1 suggest this biased agonism increases insulin secretion.[13] Tirzepatide has also been shown to increase levels of adiponectin, an adipokine involved in the regulation of both glucose and lipid metabolism, with a maximum increase of 26% from baseline after 26 weeks, at the 10 mg dosage.[3]
Chemistry
Structure
Tirzepatide is an analog of the human GIP hormone with a C20 fatty-diacid portion attached, used to optimise the uptake and metabolism of the compound.[9] The fatty-diacid section (eicosanedioic acid) is linked via a glutamic acid and two (2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethoxy)acetic acid units to the side chain of the lysine residue. This arrangement allows for a much longer half life, extending the time between doses, because of its high affinity to albumin.[14]
Synthesis
The synthesis of tirzepatide was first disclosed in patents filed by Eli Lilly and Company.[15] This uses standard solid phase peptide synthesis, with an allyloxycarbonyl protecting group on the lysine at position 20 of the linear chain of amino acids, allowing a final set of chemical transformations in which the sidechain amine of that lysine is derivatized with the lipid-containing fragment.
Large-scale manufacturing processes have been reported for this compound.[16]
History
Indiana-based pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly and Company first applied for a patent for a method of glycemic control using tirzepatide in early 2016.[15] The patent was published late that year. After passing phase 3 clinical trials, Lilly applied for FDA approval in October 2021 with a priority review voucher.[17]
Following the completion of the pivotal SURPASS-2 trial no. NCT03987919, the company announced on 28 April that tirzepatide had successfully met their endpoints in obese and overweight patients without diabetes.[18] Alongside results from the SURMOUNT-1 trial no. NCT04184622, they suggest that tirzepatide may potentially be a competitor for existing diabetic medication semaglutide, manufactured by Novo Nordisk.[19][20]
In industry-funded preliminary trials comparing tirzepatide to the existing diabetes medication semaglutide (an injected analogue of the hormone GLP-1), tirzepatide showed minor improvement of reductions (2.01%–2.30% depending on dosage) in glycated hemoglobin tests relative to semaglutide (1.86%).[21] A 10 mg dose has also been shown to be effective in reducing insulin resistance, with a reduction of around 8% from baseline, measured using HOMA2-IR (computed with fasting insulin).[3] Fasting levels of IGF binding proteins like IGFBP1 and IGFBP2 increased following tirzepatide treatment, increasing insulin sensitivity.[3] A meta-analysis published by Dutta et al. showed that over 1-year clinical use, tirzepatide was observed to be superior to dulaglutide, semaglutide, degludec, and insulin glargine with regards to glycemic efficacy and obesity reduction. Tirzepatide is perhaps the most potent agent developed to date to tackle the global problem of “diabesity“.[22]

FDA approves Lilly’s Mounjaro™ (tirzepatide) injection, the first and only GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist for the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes
May 13, 2022
Mounjaro delivered superior A1C reductions versus all comparators in phase 3 SURPASS clinical trials
While not indicated for weight loss, Mounjaro led to significantly greater weight reductions versus comparators in a key secondary endpoint
Mounjaro represents the first new class of diabetes medicines introduced in nearly a decade and is expected to be available in the U.S. in the coming weeks
INDIANAPOLIS, May 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Mounjaro™ (tirzepatide) injection, Eli Lilly and Company’s (NYSE: LLY) new once-weekly GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes. Mounjaro has not been studied in patients with a history of pancreatitis and is not indicated for use in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
As the first and only FDA-approved GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist, Mounjaro is a single molecule that activates the body’s receptors for GIP and GLP-1, which are natural incretin hormones.1
“Mounjaro delivered superior and consistent A1C reductions against all of the comparators throughout the SURPASS program, which was designed to assess Mounjaro’s efficacy and safety in a broad range of adults with type 2 diabetes who could be treated in clinical practice. The approval of Mounjaro is an exciting step forward for people living with type 2 diabetes given the results seen in these clinical trials,” said Juan Pablo Frías, M.D., Medical Director, National Research Institute and Investigator in the SURPASS program.
Mounjaro will be available in six doses (2.5 mg, 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 12.5 mg, 15 mg) and will come in Lilly’s well-established auto-injector pen with a pre-attached, hidden needle that patients do not need to handle or see.
The approval was based on results from the phase 3 SURPASS program, which included active comparators of injectable semaglutide 1 mg, insulin glargine and insulin degludec. Efficacy was evaluated for Mounjaro 5 mg, 10 mg and 15 mg used alone or in combination with commonly prescribed diabetes medications, including metformin, SGLT2 inhibitors, sulfonylureas and insulin glargine. Participants in the SURPASS program achieved average A1C reductions between 1.8% and 2.1% for Mounjaro 5 mg and between 1.7% and 2.4% for both Mounjaro 10 mg and Mounjaro 15 mg. While not indicated for weight loss, mean change in body weight was a key secondary endpoint in all SURPASS studies. Participants treated with Mounjaro lost between 12 lb. (5 mg) and 25 lb. (15 mg) on average.1
Side effects reported in at least 5% of patients treated with Mounjaro include nausea, diarrhea, decreased appetite, vomiting, constipation, indigestion (dyspepsia), and stomach (abdominal) pain. The labeling for Mounjaro contains a Boxed Warning regarding thyroid C-cell tumors. Mounjaro is contraindicated in patients with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or in patients with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2.1
“Lilly has a nearly 100-year heritage of advancing care for people living with diabetes – never settling for current outcomes. We’re not satisfied knowing that half of the more than 30 million Americans living with type 2 diabetes are not reaching their target blood glucose levels,” said Mike Mason, president, Lilly Diabetes. “We are thrilled to introduce Mounjaro, which represents the first new class of type 2 diabetes medication introduced in almost a decade and embodies our mission to bring innovative new therapies to the diabetes community.”
Mounjaro is expected to be available in the United States in the coming weeks. Lilly is committed to helping people access the medicines they are prescribed and will work with insurers, health systems and providers to help enable patient access to Mounjaro. Lilly plans to offer a Mounjaro savings card for people who qualify. Patients or healthcare professionals with questions about Mounjaro can visit www.Mounjaro.com or call The Lilly Answers Center at 1-800-LillyRx (1-800-545-5979).
Tirzepatide is also under regulatory review for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in Europe, Japan and several additional markets. A multimedia gallery is available on Lilly.com.
About the SURPASS clinical trial program
The SURPASS phase 3 global clinical development program for tirzepatide began in late 2018 and included five global registration trials and two regional trials in Japan. These studies ranged from 40 to 52 weeks and evaluated the efficacy and safety of Mounjaro 5 mg, 10 mg and 15 mg as a monotherapy and as an add-on to various standard-of-care medications for type 2 diabetes. The active comparators in the studies were injectable semaglutide 1 mg, insulin glargine and insulin degludec. Collectively, the five global registration trials consistently demonstrated A1C reductions for participants taking Mounjaro across multiple stages of their type 2 diabetes journeys, from an average around five to 13 years of having diabetes.2-8
- SURPASS-1 (NCT03954834) was a 40-week study comparing the efficacy and safety of Mounjaro 5 mg (N=121), 10 mg (N=121) and 15 mg (N=120) as monotherapy to placebo (N=113) in adults with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with diet and exercise alone. From a baseline A1C of 7.9%, Mounjaro reduced participants’ A1C by a mean of 1.8%* (5 mg) and 1.7%* (10 mg and 15 mg) compared to 0.1% for placebo. In a key secondary endpoint, from a baseline weight of 189 lb., Mounjaro reduced participants’ weight by a mean of 14 lb.* (5 mg), 15 lb.* (10 mg) and 17 lb.* (15 mg) compared to 2 lb. for placebo.2,3
- SURPASS-2 (NCT03987919) was a 40-week study comparing the efficacy and safety of Mounjaro 5 mg (N=470), 10 mg (N=469) and 15 mg (N=469) to injectable semaglutide 1 mg (N=468) in adults with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with ≥1500 mg/day metformin alone. From a baseline A1C of 8.3%, Mounjaro reduced participants’ A1C by a mean of 2.0%ꝉ (5 mg), 2.2%* (10 mg) and 2.3%* (15 mg) compared to 1.9% for semaglutide. In a key secondary endpoint, from a baseline weight of 207 lb., Mounjaro reduced participants’ weight by a mean of 17 lb.ꝉ (5 mg), 21 lb.* (10 mg) and 25 lb.* (15 mg) compared to 13 lb. for semaglutide.4,5
- SURPASS-3 (NCT03882970) was a 52-week study comparing the efficacy of Mounjaro 5 mg (N=358), 10 mg (N=360) and 15 mg (N=358) to titrated insulin degludec (N=359) in adults with type 2 diabetes treated with metformin with or without an SGLT-2 inhibitor. From a baseline A1C of 8.2%, Mounjaro reduced participants’ A1C by a mean of 1.9%* (5 mg), 2.0%* (10 mg) and 2.1%* (15 mg) compared to 1.3% for insulin degludec. From a baseline weight of 208 lb., Mounjaro reduced participants’ weight by a mean of 15 lb.* (5 mg), 21 lb.* (10 mg) and 25 lb.* (15 mg) compared to an increase of 4 lb. for insulin degludec.6
- SURPASS-4 (NCT03730662) was a 104-week study comparing the efficacy and safety of Mounjaro 5 mg (N=328), 10 mg (N=326) and 15 mg (N=337) to insulin glargine (N=998) in adults with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with at least one and up to three oral antihyperglycemic medications (metformin, sulfonylureas or SGLT-2 inhibitors), who have increased cardiovascular (CV) risk. The primary endpoint was measured at 52 weeks. From a baseline A1C of 8.5%, Mounjaro reduced participants’ A1C by a mean of 2.1%* (5 mg), 2.3%* (10 mg) and 2.4%* (15 mg) compared to 1.4% for insulin glargine. From a baseline weight of 199 lb., Mounjaro reduced weight by a mean of 14 lb.* (5 mg), 20 lb.* (10 mg) and 23 lb.* (15 mg) compared to an increase of 4 lb. for insulin glargine.7

Lilly’s tirzepatide delivered up to 22.5% weight loss in adults with obesity or overweight in SURMOUNT-1
April 28, 2022
Participants taking tirzepatide lost up to 52 lb. (24 kg) in this 72-week phase 3 study
63% of participants taking tirzepatide 15 mg achieved at least 20% body weight reductions as a key secondary endpoint
INDIANAPOLIS, April 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Tirzepatide (5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg) achieved superior weight loss compared to placebo at 72 weeks of treatment in topline results from Eli Lilly and Company’s (NYSE: LLY) SURMOUNT-1 clinical trial, with participants losing up to 22.5% (52 lb. or 24 kg) of their body weight for the efficacy estimandi. This study enrolled 2,539 participants and was the first phase 3 global registration trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide in adults with obesity, or overweight with at least one comorbidity, who do not have diabetes. Tirzepatide met both co-primary endpoints of superior mean percent change in body weight from baseline and greater percentage of participants achieving body weight reductions of at least 5% compared to placebo for both estimandsii. The study also achieved all key secondary endpoints at 72 weeks.
For the efficacy estimand, participants taking tirzepatide achieved average weight reductions of 16.0% (35 lb. or 16 kg on 5 mg), 21.4% (49 lb. or 22 kg on 10 mg) and 22.5% (52 lb. or 24 kg on 15 mg), compared to placebo (2.4%, 5 lb. or 2 kg). Additionally, 89% (5 mg) and 96% (10 mg and 15 mg) of people taking tirzepatide achieved at least 5% body weight reductions compared to 28% of those taking placebo.
In a key secondary endpoint, 55% (10 mg) and 63% (15 mg) of people taking tirzepatide achieved at least 20% body weight reductions compared to 1.3% of those taking placebo. In an additional secondary endpoint not controlled for type 1 error, 32% of participants taking tirzepatide 5 mg achieved at least 20% body weight reductions. The mean baseline body weight of participants was 231 lb. (105 kg).
“Obesity is a chronic disease that often does not receive the same standard of care as other conditions, despite its impact on physical, psychological and metabolic health, which can include increased risk of hypertension, heart disease, cancer and decreased survival,” said Louis J. Aronne, MD, FACP, DABOM, director of the Comprehensive Weight Control Center and the Sanford I. Weill Professor of Metabolic Research at Weill Cornell Medicine, obesity expert at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center and Investigator of SURMOUNT-1. “Tirzepatide delivered impressive body weight reductions in SURMOUNT-1, which could represent an important step forward for helping the patient and physician partnership treat this complex disease.”
For the treatment-regimen estimandiii, results showed:
- Average body weight reductions: 15.0% (5 mg), 19.5% (10 mg), 20.9% (15 mg), 3.1% (placebo)
- Percentage of participants achieving body weight reductions of ≥5%: 85% (5 mg), 89% (10 mg), 91% (15 mg), 35% (placebo)
- Percentage of participants achieving body weight reductions of ≥20%: 30% (5 mg, not controlled for type 1 error), 50% (10 mg), 57% (15 mg), 3.1% (placebo)
The overall safety and tolerability profile of tirzepatide was similar to other incretin-based therapies approved for the treatment of obesity. The most commonly reported adverse events were gastrointestinal-related and generally mild to moderate in severity, usually occurring during the dose escalation period. For those treated with tirzepatide (5 mg, 10 mg and 15 mg, respectively), nausea (24.6%, 33.3%, 31.0%), diarrhea (18.7%, 21.2%, 23.0%), vomiting (8.3%, 10.7%, 12.2%) and constipation (16.8%, 17.1%, 11.7%) were more frequently experienced compared to placebo (9.5% [nausea], 7.3% [diarrhea], 1.7% [vomiting], 5.8% [constipation]).
Treatment discontinuation rates due to adverse events were 4.3% (5 mg), 7.1% (10 mg), 6.2% (15 mg) and 2.6% (placebo). The overall treatment discontinuation rates were 14.3% (5 mg), 16.4% (10 mg), 15.1% (15 mg) and 26.4% (placebo).
Participants who had pre-diabetes at study commencement will remain enrolled in SURMOUNT-1 for an additional 104 weeks of treatment following the initial 72-week completion date to evaluate the impact on body weight and the potential differences in progression to type 2 diabetes at three years of treatment with tirzepatide compared to placebo.
“Tirzepatide is the first investigational medicine to deliver more than 20 percent weight loss on average in a phase 3 study, reinforcing our confidence in its potential to help people living with obesity,” said Jeff Emmick, MD, Ph.D., vice president, product development, Lilly. “Obesity is a chronic disease that requires effective treatment options, and Lilly is working relentlessly to support people with obesity and modernize how this disease is approached. We’re proud to research and develop potentially innovative treatments like tirzepatide, which helped nearly two thirds of participants on the highest dose reduce their body weight by at least 20 percent in SURMOUNT-1.”
Tirzepatide is a novel investigational once-weekly GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptor and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist, representing a new class of medicines being studied for the treatment of obesity. Tirzepatide is a single peptide that activates the body’s receptors for GIP and GLP-1, two natural incretin hormones. Obesity is a chronic, progressive disease caused by disruptions in the mechanisms that control body weight, often leading to an increase in food intake and/or a decrease in energy expenditure. These disruptions are multifactorial and can be related to genetic, developmental, behavioral, environmental and social factors. To learn more, visit Lilly.com/obesity.
Lilly will continue to evaluate the SURMOUNT-1 results, which will be presented at an upcoming medical meeting and submitted to a peer-reviewed journal. Additional studies are ongoing for tirzepatide as a potential treatment for obesity or overweight.
About tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is a once-weekly GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptor and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist that integrates the actions of both incretins into a single novel molecule. GIP is a hormone that may complement the effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists. In preclinical models, GIP has been shown to decrease food intake and increase energy expenditure therefore resulting in weight reductions, and when combined with GLP-1 receptor agonism, may result in greater effects on markers of metabolic dysregulation such as body weight, glucose and lipids. Tirzepatide is in phase 3 development for adults with obesity or overweight with weight-related comorbidity and is currently under regulatory review as a treatment for adults with type 2 diabetes. It is also being studied as a potential treatment for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Studies of tirzepatide in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and in morbidity/mortality in obesity are planned as well.
About SURMOUNT-1 and the SURMOUNT clinical trial program
SURMOUNT-1 (NCT04184622) is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled trial comparing the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide 5 mg, 10 mg and 15 mg to placebo as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity in adults without type 2 diabetes who have obesity, or overweight with at least one of the following comorbidities: hypertension, dyslipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea or cardiovascular disease. The trial randomized 2,539 participants across the U.S., Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Japan, Mexico, Russia and Taiwan in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to receive either tirzepatide 5 mg, 10 mg or 15 mg or placebo. The co-primary objectives of the study were to demonstrate that tirzepatide 10 mg and/or 15 mg is superior in percentage of body weight reductions from baseline and percentage of participants achieving ≥5% body weight reduction at 72 weeks compared to placebo. Participants who had pre-diabetes at study commencement will remain enrolled in SURMOUNT-1 for an additional 104 weeks of treatment following the initial 72-week completion date to evaluate the impact on body weight and potential differences in progression to type 2 diabetes at three years of treatment with tirzepatide compared to placebo.
All participants in the tirzepatide treatment arms started the study at a dose of tirzepatide 2.5 mg once-weekly and then increased the dose in a step-wise approach at four-week intervals to their final randomized maintenance dose of 5 mg (via a 2.5 mg step), 10 mg (via steps at 2.5 mg, 5 mg and 7.5 mg) or 15 mg (via steps at 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg and 12.5 mg).
The SURMOUNT phase 3 global clinical development program for tirzepatide began in late 2019 and has enrolled more than 5,000 people with obesity or overweight across six clinical trials, four of which are global studies. Results from SURMOUNT-2, -3, and -4 are anticipated in 2023.

Tirzepatide results superior A1C and body weight reductions compared to insulin glargine in adults with type 2 diabetes
Newly published data show that participants maintained A1C and weight control up to two years in SURPASS-4, the largest and longest SURPASS trial completed to dateNo increased cardiovascular risk identified with tirzepatide; hazard ratio of 0.74 observed for MACE-4 events
SURPASS-4 is the largest and longest clinical trial completed to date of the phase 3 program studying tirzepatide as a potential treatment for type 2 diabetes. The primary endpoint was measured at 52 weeks, with participants continuing treatment up to 104 weeks or until study completion. The completion of the study was triggered by the accrual of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) to assess CV risk. In newly published data from the treatment period after 52 weeks, participants taking tirzepatide maintained A1C and weight control for up to two years.
The overall safety profile of tirzepatide, assessed over the full study period, was consistent with the safety results measured at 52 weeks, with no new findings up to 104 weeks. Gastrointestinal side effects were the most commonly reported adverse events, usually occurring during the escalation period and then decreasing over time.
“We are encouraged by the continued A1C and weight control that participants experienced past the initial 52 week treatment period and up to two years as we continue to explore the potential impact of tirzepatide for the treatment of type 2 diabetes,” said John Doupis, M.D., Ph.D., Director, Diabetes Division and Clinical Research Center, Iatriko Paleou Falirou Medical Center, Athens, Greece and Senior Investigator for SURPASS-4.
Tirzepatide is a novel investigational once-weekly dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that integrates the actions of both incretins into a single molecule, representing a new class of medicines being studied for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
SURPASS-4 was an open-label global trial comparing the safety and efficacy of three tirzepatide doses (5 mg, 10 mg and 15 mg) to titrated insulin glargine in 2,002 adults with type 2 diabetes with increased CV risk who were treated with between one and three oral antihyperglycemic medicines (metformin, a sulfonylurea or an SGLT-2 inhibitor). Of the total participants randomized, 1,819 (91%) completed the primary 52-week visit and 1,706 (85%) completed the study on treatment. The median study duration was 85 weeks and 202 participants (10%) completed two years.
Study participants had a mean duration of diabetes of 11.8 years, a baseline A1C of 8.52 percent and a baseline weight of 90.3 kg. More than 85 percent of participants had a history of cardiovascular events. In the insulin glargine arm, the insulin dose was titrated following a treat-to-target algorithm with the goal of fasting blood glucose below 100 mg/dL. The starting dose of insulin glargine was 10 units per day, and the mean dose of insulin glargine at 52 weeks was 43.5 units per day.
About tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is a once-weekly dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that integrates the actions of both incretins into a single novel molecule. GIP is a hormone that may complement the effects of GLP-1. In preclinical models, GIP has been shown to decrease food intake and increase energy expenditure therefore resulting in weight reductions, and when combined with a GLP-1 receptor agonist, may result in greater effects on glucose and body weight. Tirzepatide is in phase 3 development for blood glucose management in adults with type 2 diabetes, for chronic weight management and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). It is also being studied as a potential treatment for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
About SURPASS-4 and the SURPASS clinical trial program
SURPASS-4 (NCT03730662) is a randomized, parallel, open-label trial comparing the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide 5 mg, 10 mg and 15 mg to insulin glargine in adults with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with at least one and up to three oral antihyperglycemic medications (metformin, sulfonylureas or SGLT-2 inhibitors), who have increased cardiovascular (CV) risk. The trial randomized 2,002 study participants in a 1:1:1:3 ratio to receive either tirzepatide 5 mg, 10 mg or 15 mg or insulin glargine. Participants were located in the European Union, North America (Canada and the United States), Australia, Israel, Taiwan and Latin America (Brazil, Argentina and Mexico). The primary objective of the study was to demonstrate that tirzepatide (10 mg and/or 15 mg) is non-inferior to insulin glargine for change from baseline A1C at 52 weeks in people with type 2 diabetes and increased CV risk. The primary and key secondary endpoints were measured at 52 weeks, with participants continuing treatment up to 104 weeks or until study completion. The completion of the study was triggered by the accrual of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Study participants enrolled had to have a mean baseline A1C between 7.5 percent and 10.5 percent and a BMI greater than or equal to 25 kg/m2 at baseline. All participants in the tirzepatide treatment arms started the study at a dose of tirzepatide 2.5 mg once-weekly and then increased the dose in a step-wise approach at four-week intervals to their final randomized maintenance dose of 5 mg (via a 2.5 mg step), 10 mg (via steps at 2.5 mg, 5 mg and 7.5 mg) or 15 mg (via steps at 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg and 12.5 mg). All participants in the titrated insulin glargine treatment arm started with a baseline dose of 10 units per day and titrated following a treat-to-target algorithm to reach a fasting blood glucose below 100 mg/dL.
The SURPASS phase 3 global clinical development program for tirzepatide has enrolled more than 20,000 people with type 2 diabetes across 10 clinical trials, five of which are global registration studies. The program began in late 2018, and all five global registration trials have been completed.
About Diabetes
Approximately 34 million Americans2 (just over 1 in 10) and an estimated 463 million adults worldwide3 have diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is the most common type internationally, accounting for an estimated 90 to 95 percent of all diabetes cases in the United States alone2. Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the body does not properly produce or use the hormone insulin.

Monensin is a polyether antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces cinnamonensis.[1] It is widely used in ruminant animal feeds.[1][2]
The structure of monensin was first described by Agtarap et al. in 1967, and was the first polyether antibiotic to have its structure elucidated in this way. The first total synthesis of monensin was reported in 1979 by Kishi et al.[3]
SYN

SYN
Production / synthesis Monensin is produced in vivo by Streptomyces cinnamonensis as a natural defense against competing bacteria. Monensin presents a formidable challenge to synthetic chemists as it possesses 17 asymmetric centers on a backbone of only 26 carbon atoms. Although its total synthesis has been described (e.g., Kishi et al., 1979), the high complexity of monensin makes an extraction from the bacterium the most economical procedure for its production. The total synthesis has 56 steps and a yield of only 0.26%. The chemical precursors are 2-allyl-1,3-propanediol and 2- (furan-2-yl)acetonitrile. The method used for synthesizing monensin is based on the principle of “absolute asymmetric synthesis”. Molecules are constructed out of prefabricated building blocks in the correct conformation, aiming for higher yields of the desired enantiomer. New stereocenters are also introduced. Using this method, monensin is assembled in two parts, a larger right side and a smaller left one. The penultimate step is connecting the left and the right halves of monensin, which are independently generated, in an Aldol-condensation. The two halves’ keto end groups (C7/ C8) are linked by eliminating a water molecule. The C7 atom is favored over the C1 atom, because it is more reactive. For catalyzing this step, Yoshito Kishi’s group used iPr2NMgBr (Hauser base) and THF to coordinate it at a temperature of − 78°C. Thus, they were able to isolate the molecule in the right conformation at a ratio of 8:1. Due to the low temperature required for a high yield of the correct enantiomer, the reaction is very solw. One of the most difficult steps is the last one: the connection of the spiro center. This is due to a characteristic feature of spiro compounds; they open and close very easily. Therefore, the conditions for forming the right conformation must be optimal in the last step of synthesis. The biosynthesis in a cell culture of Streptomyces cinnamonensis involves a complex medium containing, among other components, glucose, soybean oil, and grit. Cultivation is carried out for a week at a temperature of 30°C and under constant aeration. Product isolation requires filtration, acidification to pH3, extraction with chloroform and purification with activated carbon. In this way, a few grams per liter of monensin are produced and isolated. For crystallization, azeotropic distillation is necessary. In vivo, polyether backbones are assembled by modular polyketide synthases and are modified by two key enzymes, epoxidase and epoxide hydrolase, to generate the product. Precursors of the polyketide pathway are acetate, butyrate and propionate.

SYN
A polyether antibiotic, Monensin was the first member of this class of molecules to be structurally characterized.1 The structural features of these polyethers comprise of a terminal carboxylic acid, multiple cyclic ether rings (ex. Tetrahydrofuran and tetrahydropyran), a large amount of stereocenters and (for many of these molecules) one or more spiroketal moieties.2 Monensin was introduced into the market in 1971 and is used to fight coccidial infections in poultry and as an additive in cattle feed.3 Of the 26 carbon atom’s in Monensin’s backbone, 17 are stereogenic and six of those are contiguous. Coupled with a spiroketal moiety, three hydrofuran rings and two hydropyran rings, the molecule was an attractive synthetic target.

Mechanism of action

The structure of the sodium (Na+) complex of monensin A.
Monensin A is an ionophore related to the crown ethers with a preference to form complexes with monovalent cations such as: Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Ag+, and Tl+.[4][5] Monensin A is able to transport these cations across lipid membranes of cells in an electroneutral (i.e. non-depolarizing) exchange, playing an important role as an Na+/H+ antiporter. Recent studies have shown that monensin may transport sodium ion through the membrane in both electrogenic and electroneutral manner.[6] This approach explains ionophoric ability and in consequence antibacterial properties of not only parental monensin, but also its derivatives that do not possess carboxylic groups. It blocks intracellular protein transport, and exhibits antibiotic, antimalarial, and other biological activities.[7] The antibacterial properties of monensin and its derivatives are a result of their ability to transport metal cations through cellular and subcellular membranes.[8]
Uses
Monensin is used extensively in the beef and dairy industries to prevent coccidiosis, increase the production of propionic acid and prevent bloat.[9] Furthermore, monensin, but also its derivatives monensin methyl ester (MME), and particularly monensin decyl ester (MDE) are widely used in ion-selective electrodes.[10][11][12]
In laboratory research, monensin is used extensively to block Golgi transport.[13][14][15]
Toxicity
Monensin has some degree of activity on mammalian cells and thus toxicity is common. This is especially pronounced in horses, where monensin has a median lethal dose 1/100th that of ruminants. Accidental poisoning of equines with monensin is a well-documented occurrence which has resulted in deaths.[16]

Ferric derisomaltose is an iron injection used in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia.
Ferric derisomaltose, sold under the brand name Monoferric, is a medication for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in adults who have intolerance to oral iron or have had unsatisfactory response to oral iron or who have non-hemodialysis dependent chronic kidney disease (NDD-CKD).[1] It was approved for use in the United States in January 2020.[1][2][3] It is given intravenously.[1]
Iron deficiency is an extremely common condition and is the most frequent cause of anemia worldwide. Iron deficiency results when iron intake, iron stores, and loss of iron from the body do not adequately support production of erythrocytes, also known as red blood cells. Though it is generally considered non life-threatening, iron deficiency may considerably affect quality of life.3
Ferric derisomaltose is a form of iron used in the treatment of iron deficiency. This drug is a complex of iron (III) hydroxide and derisomaltose. The latter is an iron carbohydrate oligosaccharide that works to release iron. Ferric derisomaltose was developed by Pharmacosmos Therapeutics ad was granted FDA approval in January 2020.8,9 Clinical trials show that it is non-inferior to iron sucrose, another form of iron that is often administered in iron deficiency, and less likely to cause serious hypersensitivity that is associated with other forms of injectable iron.1,4
This drug is indicated for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in adult patients who have experienced intolerance to oral iron preparations or insufficient clinical response to orally administered iron. Ferric derisomaltase is also indicated for patients with non-hemodialysis dependent chronic kidney disease.8 In Australia and United Kingdom, ferric derisomaltase is indicated for cases in which rapid delivery of iron is required.10,11

Toldimfos is an aromatic phosphorus compound which falls between phosphorous itself and phosphoric acid in the stages of oxidation. Toldimfos sodium is the sodium salt of 2- methyl-4-(dimethylamino)phenylphosphinic acid. It is used to treat and prevent diseases associated with parturition and peri-partum period, developmental and nutritional disorders in young animals, and bone growth disorders and tetany or paresis caused by calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus metabolism disorders. Toldimfos has been used as a human medicine since 1920. While it is no longer indicated for human use, it is used in horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, and goats, and administered by intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous injection. No specific data on the pharmacodynamic action of toldimfos was submitted. The precise mode of action of toldimfos is unknown and it is questionable whether the effect of toldimfos is simply a matter of the substitution of deficient phosphorus. It appears more likely that the effect of toldimfos arises due to multiple stimulation of metabolism with the body.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Background
Type III Receptor tyrosine kinase, including FLT3, PDGFRα and PDGFRβ, have been directly implicated in the pathogenesis of epithelial, mesenchymal, and hematological malignancies.[6]
Mutations of FLT3 comprise one of the most frequently identified types of genetic alterations in Angiomyolipoma.[7][8] Approximately one-third of AML patients present with a mutation in this gene.[9] The majority of these mutations result in constitutive activation of downstream signaling pathways and aberrant cell growth.[7] Mutations in FLT3 have also been reported in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)[10] and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).[11]
Activating mutations in PDGFRA have been detected in 5-12% of Gastrointestinal stromal tumor.[12] Fusion of PDGFRA has been found to be responsible for hematological malignances like hypereosinophilic syndrome.[13] The amplification of chromosome 4q12, the site of the PDGFRA gene[citation needed], has been identified in 13-29% of adult gliomas[citation needed] and in 29% to 36% of diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPG)[citation needed], a subset of high-grade gliomas (HGG) in pediatric patients. Activation of PDGFRB, a third member of the type III RTK family, has been implicated in the development of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia due to the fusion of PDGFRB with the TEL gene.[13] Furthermore, PDGFB translocation to the COL1A1 gene locus has been identified to be responsible for dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP).[13] In cancer cells, PDGFR promotes tumor development and migration via proto-oncogenic downstream mediators like AKT and MEK[citation needed]. In stromal fibroblasts, PDGFRα activation leads to local tissue invasion, production and secretion of VEGF, and elevated intratumoral interstitial pressure[citation needed]. In stromal pericytes, PDGFRβ activation mediates vascular stability.[13] Thus, either FLT3 or PDGF/PDGFR pathway is the primary driver of oncogenesis in the above malignancies and can be targeted by crenolanib therapy[citation needed].
Mechanism
FLT3: wild-type and mutant
Crenolanib inhibits both wild type FLT3 and its constitutively active mutations. In vitro studies have shown that crenolanib has low Kd for the FLT3 enzyme with constitutively activating internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutations and tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) mutations, D835H and D835Y, as compared to wild type. Crenolanib tightly binds to FLT3-ITD, FLT3-D835H and FLT3-D835Y with Kd of 0.74 nM, 0.4 nM, and 0.18 nM, respectively.[14] Crenolanib inhibits the phosphorylation of the FLT3-ITD receptor in transfected TF-1 cells and the FLT3-D835Y TKD mutation in transfected Ba/F3 cells at nanomolar IC50 concentrations of 1.3 nM and 8.8 nM, respectively.[15] Immunoblot experiments performed in the Molm14 FLT3-ITD positive cell line show that crenolanib inhibits downstream signaling of FLT3 at a concentration of 10 nM.[15] MTT assay measurements of crenolanib cytotoxicity evaluated in the FLT3-ITD expressing cell lines Molm14 and MV411, showed that crenolanib is toxic at IC50 concentrations of 7 nM and 8 nM, respectively.[15]
PDGFRα: wild-type and mutant
Crenolanib has been shown to inhibit PDGFRα with an IC50 of 0.4 ng/mL in porcine aortic epithelial cell lines. In Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing PDGFRα, crenolanib inhibited the phosphorylation of wild type PDGFRα at an IC50 of 10 nM.[16] Additionally, crenolanib completely blocked PDGFRα phosphorylation and downstream AKT signaling at a concentration between 0.1 and 1 uM in Ink4a/Arf-/- mouse astrocytes transfected to stably co-express both human PDGFRα and PDGF AA.[17] The lung cancer cell line H1703, which is reported to have amplification of both PDGFRA (4q12) and PDGFC (4q32) genes on chromosome 4, and also overexpress PDGFRα, was sensitive to crenolanib with an IC50 of ~80 nM.[18] In CHO cells expressing an activating exon 18 (D842V) PDGFRα mutation, crenolanib was effective at an IC50 of 6nM and IC90 of 25nM. In addition, crenolanib also inhibited phosphorylation of the double mutants PDGFRα (V561D + D842V and T674I + D842V).[16]
PDGFRβ: wild-type
Crenolanib has been shown to inhibit PDGFRβ with an IC50 of 0.8 ng/mL in porcine aortic epithelial cell lines. Crenolanib inhibits the ability of recombinant PDGFRβ to phosphorylate a synthetic tyrosine substrate (poly-glutamic acid-tyrosine), with an IC50 of 0.4 ng/mL. Evaluation of the antitumor activity of crenolanib in a genetically engineered BSG DIPG mouse model showed that it is highly selective for PDGFRβ with an IC50 of 10 nM when measured by BrdU assay and 1.25 uM by MTT assay.
C-Kit: wild-type and mutant
Crenolanib has been shown to have IC50 and Kd values of 67 nM and 78 nM, respectively, for wild type c-KIT in in vitro assays[citation needed]. Similar assays show that crenolanib inhibits c-KIT activating mutations D816H and D816V with IC50 concentrations of 5.4 and 2.5 nM, respectively.[14][citation needed] Human bone marrow progenitor cell growth assays showed that crenolanib has modest effects on GM-CSF and BFUE driven colony formation at the IC50 concentration of 20 nM.[15]
Clinical
Phase I single-agent[19] and Phase Ib combination[20] studies have investigated the clinical pharmacology of crenolanib in patients with cancer. Pharmacokinetic and safety studies of Crenolanib administered alone or in combination with docetaxel with or without axitinib have been completed. Results suggest that Crenolanib is well tolerated as a single agent, and can also be safely combined with docetaxel and axitinib due to their non-overlapping toxicity profiles.

Triamcinolone is a glucocorticoid used to treat a wide variety of inflammatory conditions of organ systems and tissues.
Triamcinolone is a glucocorticoid used to treat certain skin diseases, allergies, and rheumatic disorders among others.[6] It is also used to prevent worsening of asthma and COPD.[6] It can be taken in various ways including by mouth, injection into a muscle, and inhalation.[6]
Common side effects with long-term use include osteoporosis, cataracts, thrush, and muscle weakness.[6] Serious side effects may include psychosis, increased risk of infections, adrenal suppression, and bronchospasm.[6] Use in pregnancy is generally safe.[7] It works by decreasing inflammation and immune system activity.[6]
Triamcinolone was patented in 1956 and came into medical use in 1958.[8] It is available as a generic medication.[9] In 2019, it was the 107th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 6 million prescriptions.[10][11]

Skin is the layer of usually soft, flexible outer tissue covering the body of a vertebrate animal, with three main functions: protection, regulation, and sensation. Skin diseases are the medical condition that affects the skin, hair, nails and related muscle and glands.
Skin disorders vary greatly in symptoms and severity. They can be temporary or permanent, and may be painless or painful. Some have situational causes, while others may be genetic. Some skin conditions are minor, and others can be lifethreatening.
There are many different types of skin disorders which include rashes, dermatoses or skin eruptions. Such rashes, dermatoses or skin eruptions include acute, inflammatory reactions of the skin caused by an allergic or irritant reaction, other forms of eczema, lichen simplex chronicus. Chronic nature includes seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis or caused by infection, irritation or aggravation of another condition such as occurs with acne, other rashes, dermatoses or skin eruptions, inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses, contact dermatitis, impetigo, urticarial and scabies.
Typical symptoms of the skin disorders include but not limited to raised bumps that are red or white, a rash, which might be painful or itchy, scaly or rough skin peeling skin, ulcers, open sores or lesions, dry, cracked skin, discolored patches of skin, fleshy bumps, warts, or other skin growths, changes in mole color or size a loss of skin pigment, excessive flushing or the like.
Atopic dermatitis (AD), also known as eczema or atopic eczema, is a type of inflammation of the skin (dermatitis). Atopic dermatitis (AD) is common worldwide. People of all ages from newborns to adults and older live with this condition. Symptoms range from excessively dry, itchy skin to painful, itchy rashes that cause sleepless nights and interfere with everyday life.
Topical corticosteroids have been the mainstay of treatment for atopic dermatitis over the past years, further the cure for atopic dermatitis involves Lifestyle modification, balanced diet intake, self-care measures, phototherapy, wet wrap therapy, use of medications like tacrolimus, pimecrolimus, crisaborole, dupilumab, ciclosporin, methotrexate, interferon gamma- lb, mycophenolate mofetil, and azathioprine or the like.
Triamcinolone Acetonide is a synthetic corticosteroid. Chemically it is [Pregna-1, 4-diene-3, 20-dione, 9-fluoro-l l, 21 -dihydroxy- 16, 17-[(1 methylethylidene) bis-(oxy)]-, (HP, 16a)-] with the empirical formula C24H31FO6 and molecular weight 434.50. Triamcinolone Acetonide is represented by compound of structural formula I
Triamcinolone Acetonide topical cream and ointment with strengths 0.025%, 0.1% and 0.5% (containing 0.25 mg/gm, 1 mg/gm & 5 mg/gm Triamcinolone Acetonide respectively) were approved in USA prior to Jan 1, 1982 under the trade name “Triamcinolone Acetonide” and were indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses.
The commercially available products or product known in the prior art produces side effects such as burning, itching, irritation, or dryness of skin at site of application, folliculitis, hypertrichosis, acneiform eruptions, hypopigmentation, perioral dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, maceration of the skin, secondary infection, skin atrophy, striae and miliaria.
Pediatric patients may demonstrate greater susceptibility to topical triamcinolone -induced HPA axis suppression and Cushing’s syndrome than mature patients because of a larger skin surface area to body weight ratio. Hypothalamic -pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression, Cushing’s syndrome and intracranial hypertension have been reported in children receiving topical triamcinolone. Manifestations of adrenal suppression in children include linear growth retardation, delayed weight gain, low plasma cortisol levels, and absence of response to ACTH stimulation. Manifestations of intracranial hypertension include bulging fontanelles, headaches, and bilateral papilledema. Chronic corticosteroid therapy may interfere with the growth and development of children.
Making low dose compositions can present technical and economic challenges that are not present for higher dose formulations.

Triamcinolone
Triamcinolone, 9a-fluoro-11b,16a,17,21-tetrahydroxypregna-1, 4-dien-3,20-dione (27.1.61), differs from dexamethsone in terms of chemical structure in that the a methyl group at C16 is replaced with a hydroxyl group. It is synthesized from the 21-O-acetate of hydrocortisone 27.1.17. In the first stage, both carbonyl groups of this compound undergo ketalization by ethylene glycol. Next, the hydroxyl group in the resulting diketal 27.1.53 is replaced with chlorine using thionyl chloride, and the product undergoes dehydrochlorination using an alkaline, during which the 21-O-acetyl group also is hydrolyzed. Acetylating the hydroxyl group once again with acetic anhydride gives a triene 27.1.54. Reacting this with osmium tetroxide gives the vicinal diol 27.1.55. The secondary hydroxyl group at C16 of this product undergoes acetylation by acetic anhydride in pyridine, which forms the diacetate 27.1.56. Treating the product with N-bromoacetamide in chloric acid gives a bromohydrin (27.1.57), which upon reaction with potassium acetate is transformed to an epoxide (27.1.58). Opening of the epoxide ring, using hydrofluoric acid, gives the corresponding 9-fluoro-11-hydroxy derivative 27.1.59. Upon microbiological dehydrogenation, the C1–C2 bond is oxidized to a double bond, forming triamcinolone acetate (27.1.60), the acetyl group of which is hydrolyzed, forming the desired triamcinolone (27.1.61) [30–32].

Triamcinolone is similar to dexamethasone in terms of pharmacological action, and it is better tolerated in some cases. Synonyms of this drug are ledercort, cenocort, delsolon, and others.

Triamcinolone–Nasacort
The synthesis of triamcinolone (23.2.1) starts from ketalization of cortisol 21-acetate (23.2.8) using ethylene glycol. Dehydration of the obtained compound (23.2.9) for creation of a double bond in position 16,17 of the steroid skeleton through the series of sequential reactions of chlorination, dehydrochlorination, hydrolysis, and acetylation produces 21-acetoxy-4,9(11),16-pregnatriene-3,20-dione (23.2.10), treatment of which with osmium tetroxide in benzene and pyridine produced diol (23.2.11), the secondary hydroxyl group of which, in position 16, was acetylated with acetic anhydride in pyridine to produce the diacetate (23.2.12). The obtained compound in dioxane and water was treated with N-bromoacetamide and 10% perchloric acid to yield bromohydrine (23.2.13). Dehydrobromination of the bromohydrine (23.2.13) with anhydrous potassium acetate in refluxing ethanol produced the epoxy-derivative (23.2.14). Opening of the epoxide ring in (23.2.14) with anhydrous hydrogen fluoride in chloroform produced (23.2.15). Microbiological dehydrogenation of the obtained product with Corynebacterium simplex produced crude diacetate (23.2.16), saponification of which produced triamcinolone (23.2.1) [108-110] (Scheme 23.7.).

Scheme 23.7. Synthesis of triamcinolone.
Triamcinolone is commonly used in the treatment of respiratory inflammation and improves airway reactivity, decreasing respiratory problems. Strangely, there are only few reviews of the pharmacotherapy of triamcinolone [111-113].

Glucocorticoids have a number of diverse effects in different body tissues. Glucocorticoids, in topical, oral and inhaled formulations, are useful for their anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. Several glucocorticoids such as budesonide and ciclesonide are used for treatment of several disorders.
The synthesis and purification of glucocorticoids have been disclosed at different instances. However, most of these synthetic procedures involve toxic solvents or long reaction times and are ineffective for large scale synthesis. For instance, US 3,92,9768 discloses a process for preparation of budesonide by reacting 16, 17-dihydroxy compound with aldehyde in solvents such as dioxane, methylene chloride or their combinations.
DE 4129535 discloses a process for the synthesis of Ciclesonide which involves the intermediate 16A, 17-[(7?,S)-cyclohexylmethylenedioxy]-l 13, 21-dihydroxy-pregna-l 4- dien-3,20-one which is obtained by an acid catalysed reaction of 11 , 16 , 17, 21-tetra hydroxypregna-l,4-dien-3,20-one with cyclohexane aldehyde.
WO 02/38584 discloses the synthesis of Ciclesonide by reacting corresponding 16, 17-ketals with a cyclohexane aldehyde in the presence of 70% perchloric acid, 1-nitropropane as solvent. However, perchloric acid is a dangerous solvent and can cause serious accidents with fatal consequences.
US Patent No. 6169178 relates to a process for the preparation of budesonide and of 16, 17- acetals of pregnane derivatives structurally co-related thereto comprising treating 16, 17-dios or of 16, 17-ketals or cyclic acetals with aldehydes in the presence of aqueous hydrobromic acid or hydroiodic acid used as reaction catalyst or solvents. However, hydroiodic and other hydrohalic solvents are corrosive, light sensitive and expensive. Further, these acids also post environmental problems. Notwithstanding the use of hydrohalo acids requires use of special equipment since they are extremely corrosive and consequently increase the cost of production.
US 5,55,6964 discloses a process for the preparation of budesonide by reacting 16 – Hydroxy Prednisolone in acetonitrile in the presence of /^-toluene sulfonic acid as a catalyst. There are certain other patents that use alkyl sulfonic acid instead of aryl sulfonic acid for the synthesis of budesonide or similar compounds. However, sulfonic acids are hazardous solvents and FDA has expressed significant concern over the presence or traces of sulfonic acid in pharmaceutical products. Hence, there is a need to have a process for the synthesis 16, 17- acetals of pregnane compounds that is industrially scalable and which does not involve the use of harmful solvents.

Medical uses

Aristocort brand triamcinolone cream
Triamcinolone is used to treat a number of different medical conditions, such as eczema, alopecia areata, lichen sclerosus, psoriasis, arthritis, allergies, ulcerative colitis, lupus, sympathetic ophthalmia, temporal arteritis, uveitis, ocular inflammation, keloids, urushiol-induced contact dermatitis, aphthous ulcers (usually as triamcinolone acetonide), central retinal vein occlusion, visualization during vitrectomy and the prevention of asthma attacks.[12][13][14]
The derivative triamcinolone acetonide is the active ingredient in various topical skin preparations (cream, lotion, ointment, aerosol spray) designed to treat skin conditions such as rash, inflammation, redness, or intense itching due to eczema[15] and dermatitis.[16]
Contraindications
Contraindications for systemic triamcinolone are similar to those of other corticoids. They include systemic mycoses (fungal infections) and parasitic diseases, as well as eight weeks before and two weeks after application of live vaccines. For long-term treatment, the drug is also contraindicated in people with peptic ulcers, severe osteoporosis, severe myopathy, certain viral infections, glaucoma, and metastasizing tumours.[17]
There are no contraindications for use in emergency medicine.[4]
Side effects
Further information: Glucocorticoid § Side effects
Side effects of triamcinolone are similar to other corticoids. In short-term treatment up to ten days, it has very few adverse effects; however, sometimes gastrointestinal bleeding is seen, as well as acute infections (mainly viral) and impaired glucose tolerance.[4]
Side effects of triamcinolone long-term treatment may include coughing (up to bronchospasms), sinusitis, metabolic syndrome–like symptoms such as high blood sugar and cholesterol, weight gain due to water retention, and electrolyte imbalance, as well as cataract, thrush, osteoporosis, reduced muscle mass, and psychosis.[5][6][17] Triamcinolone injections can cause bruising and joint swelling.[5] Symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, itch, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing,[18] and anaphylaxis.[17]
Overdose
No acute overdosing of triamcinolone has been described.[17]
Interactions
Drug interactions are mainly pharmacodynamic, that is, they result from other drugs either adding to triamcinolone’s corticoid side effects or working against its desired effects. They include:[4][17]
- Atropin and other anticholinergics can substantially increase pressure in the eyes.
- Antidiabetic drugs can become less effective because triamcinolone causes diabetes-like symptoms.
- Aspirin and other NSAIDs, as well as anticoagulants such as warfarin, add to the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.
- Diuretics that excrete potassium (such as loop diuretics and thiazides) can increase the risk of hypokalemia and thus lead to abnormal heart rhythm.
- Cardiac glycosides may have more adverse effects due to reduced potassium levels in the blood.
- The risk for blood count changes is increased when combining triamcinolone with ACE inhibitors.
Triamcinolone and other drugs can also influence each other’s concentrations in the body, amounting to pharmacokinetic interactions such as:[4][17]
- Rifampicin, phenytoin, carbamazepine and other inducers of the liver enzyme CYP3A4[19] speed up metabolization of triamcinolone and can therefore reduce its effectiveness.
- Conversely, CYP3A4 inhibitors such as ketoconazole and itraconazole can increase its concentrations in the body and the risk for adverse effects.
- Blood concentrations of ciclosporin can be increased.
Pharmacology
Mechanism of action
Further information: Glucocorticoid § Mechanism of action
Triamcinolone is a glucocorticoid that is about five times as potent as cortisol, but has very little mineralocorticoid effects.[4]
Pharmacokinetics
When taken by mouth, the drug’s bioavailability is over 90%. It reaches highest concentrations in the blood plasma after one to two hours and is bound to plasma proteins to about 80%. The biological half-life from the plasma is 200 to 300 minutes; due to stable complexes of triamcinolone and its receptor in the intracellular fluid, the total half-life is significantly longer at about 36 hours.[4][5]
A small fraction of the substance is metabolized to 6-hydroxy- and 20-dihydro-triamcinolone; most of it probably undergoes glucuronidation, and a smaller part sulfation. Three quarters are excreted via the urine, and the rest via the faeces.[4][17]
Due to corticoids’ mechanism of action, the effects are delayed as compared to plasma concentrations. Depending on the route of administration and the treated condition, the onset of action can be from two hours up to one or two days after application; and the drug can act much longer than its elimination half-life would suggest.[4][5]
Chemistry
Triamcinolone is a synthetic pregnane corticosteroid and derivative of cortisol (hydrocortisone) and is also known as 1-dehydro-9α-fluoro-16α-hydroxyhydrocortisone or 9α-fluoro-16α-hydroxyprednisolone as well as 9α-fluoro-11β,16α,17α,21-tetrahydroxypregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione.[20][21]
The substance is a light-sensitive, white to off-white, crystalline powder, or has the form of colourless, matted crystals. It has no odour or is nearly odourless. Information on the melting point varies, partly due to the substance’s polymorphism: 260 to 263 °C (500 to 505 °F), 264 to 268 °C (507 to 514 °F), or 269 to 271 °C (516 to 520 °F) can be found in the literature.[4]
Solubility is 1:500 in water and 1:240 in ethanol; it is slightly soluble in methanol, very slightly soluble in chloroform and diethylether, and practically insoluble in dichloromethane. The specific rotation is {\displaystyle [\alpha ]_{D}^{20}} +65° to +72° cm³/dm·g (1% in dimethylformamide).[4]
Society and culture
In 2010, TEVA and Perrigo launched the first generic inhalable triamcinolone.[22]
According to Chang et al. (2014), “Triamcinolone acetonide (TA) is classified as an S9 glucocorticoid in the 2014 Prohibited List published by the World Anti-Doping Agency, which caused it to be prohibited in international athletic competition when administered orally, intravenously, intramuscularly or rectally”.[23]

Japan Registry of Clinical Trials Web Site 2021, July 16
Ensitrelvir[1] (code name S-217622, brand name Xocova)[2] is an antiviral drug developed by Shionogi in partnership with Hokkaido University, which acts as an orally active 3C-like protease inhibitor for the treatment of COVID-19 infection.[3][4] It is taken by mouth, and has been successfully tested against the recently emerged Omicron variant.[5]
About S-217622
S-217622, a therapeutic drug for COVID-19, is a 3CL protease inhibitor created through joint research between Hokkaido University and Shionogi. SARS-CoV-2 has an enzyme called 3CL protease, which is essential for the replication of the virus. S-217622 suppresses the replication of SARS-CoV-2 by selectively inhibiting 3CL protease. Shionogi has already been submitting the non-clinical, manufacturing/CMC data, and clinical trial data obtained so far to the PMDA. Currently the Phase 3 part of a Phase 2/3 clinical trial in patients with mild/moderate symptoms and the Phase 2b/3 part in patients with asymptomatic/only mild symptoms are in progress.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has resulted in millions of deaths and threatens public health and safety. Despite the rapid global spread of COVID-19 vaccines, effective oral antiviral drugs are urgently needed. Here, we describe the discovery of S-217622, the first oral non-covalent, non-peptidic SARS-CoV-2 3CL protease inhibitor clinical candidate. S-217622 was discovered via virtual screening followed by biological screening of an in-house compound library, and optimization of the hit compound using a structure-based drug-design strategy. S-217622 exhibited antiviral activity in vitro against current outbreaking SARS-CoV-2 variants and showed favorable pharmacokinetic profiles in vivo for once-daily oral dosing. Furthermore, S-217622 dose-dependently inhibited intrapulmonary replication of SARS-CoV-2 in mice, indicating that this novel non-covalent inhibitor could be a potential oral agent for treating COVID-19.
Chemistry

The synthetic scheme for compound 1 is described in Scheme 1. Starting from the pyrazole derivative 4, cyclization with Ethyl isocyanatoacetate and CDI was conducted, giving 5 in 90% yield. Then, an alkylation with 5-bromomethyl-1,2,3-trifluorobenzene followed by introduction of a 4-difluoromethoxy-2-methylaniline unit, to give 7 (40% in 2 steps). The ester group in 7 was hydrolyzed and then amidated with methylamine, yielding 1 (58% in 2 steps). Compound 2 was synthesized similarly as shown in Scheme 2.
S-217622 (3) was synthesized as described in Scheme 3. Starting from known compound 9,21 an alkylation with 1-(bromomethyl)-2,4,5-trifluorobenzene gave 10 in 93% yield. Then, the 3-tert-Bu group was removed and the triazole unit was introduced, and the substitution of the SEt moiety with the indazole unit finally gave S-217622 (3).

Oral antiviral medications, in addition to vaccines, are expected to play an important role in treating coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by infection with the severe acute respiratory disease coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2).
These drugs must have significant antiviral activity, as well as target specificity, oral bioavailability, and metabolic stability. Although several antiviral compounds have been reported as possible SARS-CoV-2 inhibitors in vitro, only a few of these drugs have been shown to be effective in vivo.
Ensitrelvir, a novel SARS-CoV-2 antiviral
Ensitrelvir (code name S-217622, brand name Xocova), is a new inhibitor of the SARS-CoV-2 major protease (Mpro), also known as 3C-like protease, has been shown to reduce the viral load and help alleviate the severity of SARS-CoV-2 in infected hamsters. In cells, low nanomolar to sub-micromolar doses of S-217622 suppress viral growth. In hamsters, oral treatment of S-217622 showed excellent pharmacokinetic qualities and hastened recovery from acute SARS-CoV-2 infection.
S-217622 also demonstrated antiviral effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs), such as the highly pathogenic Delta variant and the newly discovered Omicron variant. Overall, these findings show that S-217622, which is an antiviral drug that is currently being tested in Phase II/III clinical trials, has impressive antiviral efficiency and effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2 and could be a viable oral treatment option for COVID-19.
History
It has reached Phase III clinical trials.[3] The Japanese government is reportedly considering allowing Shionogi permission to apply for approval for medical use before the final steps of trials are completed, potentially speeding up the release for sale. This conditional early approval system has previously been used in Japan to accelerate the progression to market of other antiviral drugs targeting COVID-19, including remdesivir and molnupiravir.[6] In a study of 428 patients, viral load was reduced, but symptoms were not significantly reduced. [7]
It became the first Japanese domestic pill to treat COVID-19, third to be regulatorally approved in Japan; in February 2022.[8]

Cyclobenzaprine, a centrally-acting muscle relaxant, was first synthesized in 196111 and has been available for human use since 1977.10 It was initially studied for use as antidepressant given its structural similarity to tricyclic antidepressants – it differs from Amitriptyline by only a single double bond.11,10 Since its approval, it has remained relatively popular as an adjunctive, short-term treatment for acute skeletal muscle spasms secondary to musculoskeletal injury.
Cyclobenzaprine (sold under the brand name Flexeril, among others) is a medication used for muscle spasms from musculoskeletal conditions of sudden onset.[6] It is not useful in cerebral palsy.[6] It is taken by mouth.[6] Use is not recommended for more than a few weeks.[6]
Common side effects include headache, feeling tired, dizziness, and dry mouth.[6] Serious side effects may include an irregular heartbeat.[6] There is no evidence of harm in pregnancy, but it has not been well studied in this population.[6] It should not be used with an MAO inhibitor.[6] How it works is unclear.[6]
Cyclobenzaprine was approved for medical use in the United States in 1977.[6] It is available as a generic medication.[6] In 2019, it was the 45th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 15 million prescriptions.[7][8] It was not available in the United Kingdom as of 2012.[9]

Cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride, chemically known as 5-(3-dimethylaminopropylidene)- dibenzo (a,e) cycloheptatriene hydrochloride (Formula I),

Formula I is a commonly prescribed tricyclic amine having muscle relaxant pharmaceutical activity. After sustaining an injury, muscle spasms may occur to stabilize the affected body part and prevent further damage. Cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride is used to treat such muscle spasm associated with acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions.
Few multistep processes for the preparation of this tricyclic amine are already available in the literature which involves isolation and purification of intermediate compounds. The conventional route of synthesis as reported in US3454643, ES8201950 includes preparation of Grignard reagent (GR) of 3-dimethylaminopropyl chloride in a first step, reacting with 5-dibenzosuberenone (Formulall) in a second step. The reaction mass was extracted with benzene, solid obtained was recrystallized from alcohol to produce 5- hydroxy intermediate (Formula III) and further dehydrated in third step using acetyl chloride or acetic anhydride in presence of chloroform as a solvent medium followed by purging HC1 gas to produce hydrochloride salt (Formula I).

The multistep synthesis is cumbersome and use of hazardous solvents and reagents like chloroform, benzene and acetyl chloride etc are not recommended for the preparation of pharmaceutical substances.
J. Org. Chem. Vol. 27, 230-240 (1961) also portrayed similar procedure for the synthesis of cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride, wherein 5-hydroxy compound of formula III was isolated and recrystallized before dehydration reaction.
Synthetic Comm. 11 (3), 241-246 (1981) described a process which involves isolation and purification of the intermediate at magnesium -complex stage. Hydrolysis of the isolated complex afforded desired tricyclic amine. GB858186 and GB858187 jointly described a process which comprises preparation of 5- hydroxy compound (Formula III) and subsequent conversion of the same to cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride. However the overall yield reported is significantly low.
In a different approach, a high temperature dehydrogenation of amitriptyline base resulting in formation of cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride is reported in Indian patent application 387/CHE/2005.

. EXAMPLE:
In a reaction vessel, THF (1 10ml), magnesium turnings 20gm (0.823mole) were charged and the mixture was warmed to 45-55°C for 20 min. A solution of l OOgm (0.823mole) of 3-dimethylaminopropyl chloride prepared in 1 10ml THF was added dropwise to the reaction mixture by controlling the reflux generated due to reaction initiation and maintained for 2hrs. The formed Grignard reagent was then cooled to 0-5°C and a solution of lOOgm (0.485mole) 5-dibenzosuberenone prepared in 220ml THF was charged to the reaction mass at temperature below 10°C. The reaction mass was stirred for 45 min at temperature 10-15°C. The absence of 5-dibenzosuberenone was checked by TLC and 770ml of 20% aq. HC1 was charged to the reaction mass at a temperature below 10°C. The reaction mass was then heated to 70-80°C for 3 hrs. The acidic mass was neutralized by using aqueous Na2C03 solution and extracted with 900ml methylene dichloride. The solvent was removed completely under reduced pressure and oil thus formed was dissolved in 450ml IPA and acidified with 240 ml of 20% IPA .HC1 solution and stirred for 2 hrs at 0-5°C for complete precipitation. The precipitate is filtered, recrystallized from IPA (800 ml) and dried to obtain 1 18 gm (78%) white crystalline cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride with purity 99.93% by HPLC.

Cyclobenzaprine
Cyclobenzaprine, N,N-dimethyl-3-(dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5-ylidene) propylamine (15.3.9), is synthesized by reacting 5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5-one with 3-dimethylaminopropylmagnesium chloride and subsequent dehydration of the resulting carbinol (15.3.8) in acidic conditions into cyclobenzaprine (15.3.9) [30–32].

Cyclobenzaprine is structurally similar to tricyclic antidepressants. It acts at the brain stem level. It is used as an adjuvant agent for relieving muscle spasms associated with severe diseased conditions of the muscle. A synonym of this drug is flexeril.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Medical use
Cyclobenzaprine is used, in conjunction with physical therapy, to treat muscle spasms that occur because of acute musculoskeletal conditions.[10] After sustaining an injury, muscle spasms to stabilize the affected body part occur, which may increase pain to prevent further damage. Cyclobenzaprine is used to treat such muscle spasms associated with acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions.[11] It decreases pain in the first two weeks,[12][13] peaking in the first few days, but has no proven benefit after two weeks.[12][14] Since no benefit is proven beyond that, therapy should not be continued long-term.[11] It is the best-studied muscle relaxer.[12] It is not useful for spasticity due to neurologic conditions such as cerebral palsy.[11][15]
A 2004 review found benefit for fibromyalgia symptoms, with a reported number needed to treat of 4.8 (meaning that 1 person out of every 4.8 benefits from treatment) for pain reduction, but no change in fatigue or tender points.[16] A 2009 Cochrane review found insufficient evidence to justify its use in myofascial pain syndrome.[17] It may also be used along with other treatments for tetanus.[18]
Side effects
Cyclobenzaprine results in increased rates of drowsiness (38%), dry mouth (24%), and dizziness (10%).[14] Drowsiness and dry mouth appear to intensify with increasing dose.[19] The sedative effects of cyclobenzaprine are likely due to its antagonistic effect on histamine, serotonin, and muscarinic receptors.[medical citation needed]
Agitation is a common side effect observed, especially in the elderly. Some experts[who?] believe that cyclobenzaprine should be avoided in elderly patients because it can cause confusion, delirium, and cognitive impairment.[20][21] In general, the National Committee for Quality Assurance recommends avoiding the use of cyclobenzaprine in the elderly because of the potential for more severe side effects.[22]
Dysphagia, a life-threatening side-effect, may rarely occur.[23] Treatment protocols and support should follow the same as for any structurally related tricyclic, such as tricyclic antidepressants.[24]
Overdose
The most common effects of overdose are drowsiness and tachycardia.[11] Rare but potentially critical complications are cardiac arrest, abnormal heart rhythms, severe low blood pressure, seizures, and neuroleptic malignant syndrome.[11] Life-threatening overdose is rare,[11] however, as the median lethal dose is about 338 milligrams/kilogram in mice and 425 mg/kg in rats.[11] The potential harm is increased when central nervous system depressants and antidepressants are also used; deliberate overdose often includes alcohol among other drugs.[11]
Interactions
Cyclobenzaprine has major contraindications with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). At least one study also found increased risk of serotonin syndrome when cyclobenzaprine was taken with the serotonergic drugs duloxetine or phenelzine.[25]
These substances may interact with cyclobenzaprine:
- Central nervous system depressants (e.g. alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, nonbenzodiazepines, phenothiazines, carbamates, barbiturates, major tranquilizers)
- Monoamine oxidase inhibitors taken within two weeks of cyclobenzaprine may result in serious, life-threatening side effects.[11]
Cyclobenzaprine may affect the medications used in surgical sedation and some surgeons request that patients temporarily discontinue its use prior to surgery.[26]
Pharmacology
Cyclobenzaprine is a centrally acting muscle relaxant.[27] Cyclobenzaprine is a 5-HT2 receptor antagonist; it relieves muscle spasm through action on the central nervous system at the brain stem, rather than targeting the peripheral nervous system or muscles themselves.[28]

Pharmacokinetics
Cyclobenzaprine has an oral bioavailability of about 55% and approximately 93% is bound to proteins in plasma. The half-life of the drug is 18 hours and it has a plasma clearance of 0.7 litres per minute.[27][30][31]
Comparison to other medications
Cyclobenzaprine has been found to be not inferior to tizanidine, orphenadrine, and carisoprodol in the treatment of acute lower back pain, although none have been proven to be effective for long-term use (beyond two weeks of treatment). No differences in pain or spasm scores were noted among these agents, nor when compared to benzodiazepines.[32] However, nonbenzodiazepine (including cyclobenzaprine) treatment was found to have a lower risk of medication abuse and continuation of use against medical advice.[medical citation needed] Side effects such as sedation and ataxia are also less pronounced with nonbenzodiazepine antispasmodics.[medical citation needed]
In a study on the treatment of musculoskeletal pain treatment with cyclobenzaprine alone or in combination with ibuprofen, no significant differences in pain scores were noted among the three treatment groups. Peak benefit was found to occur on day seven of the treatment for all groups.[33]
Formulations

Cyclobenzaprine 10mg tablets
By mouth, cyclobenzaprine is marketed as Apo-Cyclobenzaprin, Fexmid, Flexeril and Novo-Cycloprine. It is available in generic form. A once-a-day, extended-release formulation, Amrix, is available.[34] Cyclobenzaprine is also used by compounding pharmacies in topical creams.[citation needed]

Pyritinol also called pyridoxine disulfide or pyrithioxine (European drug names Encephabol, Encefabol, Cerbon 6) is a semi-synthetic water-soluble analog of vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine HCl). It was produced in 1961 by Merck Laboratories by bonding 2 vitamin B6 compounds (pyridoxine) together with a disulfide bridge. Since the 1970s, it has been a prescription and OTC drug in several countries for cognitive disorders, rheumatoid arthritis,[1] and learning disorders in children. Since the early 1990s it has been sold as a nootropic dietary supplement in the United States.

Adverse effects
Adverse effects include nausea, headache,[2] and rarely allergic reaction (mild skin reactions).[3] A 2004 survey of six case reports suggested a link between pyritinol and severe cholestatic hepatitis when on several drugs for certain diseases.[4]
Other rare side effects: acute pancreatitis[5] and photoallergic eruption.[6]
