TORCETRAPIB Revisted


Torcetrapib (CP-529,414, Pfizer) was a drug being developed to treat hypercholesterolemia (elevated cholesterol levels) and prevent cardiovascular disease. Its development was halted in 2006 when phase III studies showed excessive all-cause mortality in the treatment group receiving a combination of atorvastatin (Lipitor) and torcetrapib.

Medical uses
Torcetrapib has not been found to affect either cardiovascular disease or risk of death in those already taking a statin.[1]
Mechanism
Torcetrapib acts (as a CETP inhibitor) by inhibiting cholesterylester transfer protein (CETP), which normally transfers cholesterol from HDL cholesterol to very low density or low density lipoproteins (VLDL or LDL). Inhibition of this process results in higher HDL levels (the “good” cholesterol-containing particle) and reduces LDL levels (the “bad” cholesterol).[vague][citation needed]
Development
The first step in the synthesis was a recently created reaction of amination to p-chlorotrifluoryltoluene, a reaction that was created by Dr. Stephen Buchwald at MIT.[2]
Development of the drug began around 1990; it was first administered in humans in 1999, and manufacturing at production scale began in Ireland in 2005.[3]
Pfizer had previously announced that torcetrapib would be sold in combination with Pfizer’s statin, atorvastatin (Lipitor); however, following media and physician criticism, Pfizer had subsequently planned for torcetrapib to be sold independently of Lipitor.[4]
Clinical trials
A 2004 trial (19 subjects, non-randomised) showed that torcetrapib could increase HDL and lower LDL with and without an added statin.[5]
Nine phase III studies were completed.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]
Early termination of study
On December 2, 2006 Pfizer cut off torcetrapib’s phase III trial because of “an imbalance of mortality and cardiovascular events” associated with its use.[16] This was a sudden and unexpected event and as late as November 30, 2006 Jeff Kindler, Pfizer’s chief executive, was quoted, “This will be one of the most important compounds of our generation.”[16] In the terminated trial, a 60% increase in deaths was observed among patients taking torcetrapib and atorvastatin versus taking atorvastatin alone.[17] Pfizer recommended that all patients stop taking the drug immediately.[18]
Six studies were terminated early.[6] One of the completed studies found it raised systolic blood pressure and concluded “Torcetrapib showed no clinical benefit in this or other studies, and will not be developed further.”[19]
The drug cost $800m+ to bring into Phase III development.[20]

Troglitazone
Type-II diabetes mellitus (DM) is characterized by insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, increased hepatic glucose production, and decreased pancreatic insulin secretion. In the past, the drug classes used for type-II DM have targeted the last three of these abnormalities. Sulfonylurea agents bind to ATP-dependent potassium efflux channels to stimulate pancreatic insulin secretion at b-islet cells. The biguanides decrease hepatic glucose production, and thea-glucosidase inhibitors delay carbohydrate digestion to improve glucose tolerance. Until the recent advent of the thiazolidinedione drugs (ciglitazone was first synthesized in 1982), there was no therapy specifically targeting insulin resistance. Drugs of this class all share a common thiazolidine-2-4-dione structure. Marketed drugs of this class include pioglitazone, rosiglitazone, and troglitazone [Figure 1] – the first to reach the market.
The “glitazones” act to reduce insulin resistance and also correct hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and hypertriglyceridemia. Thiazolidinediones bind to the gisoform of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPARg), a nuclear transcription factor that regulates the expression of several insulin-responsive genes involved in glucose and lipid metabolism, and the differentiation of fibroblasts into adipose tissue. The net effect is to reduce insulin resistance, mostly through increased glucose uptake by muscle tissue; however, the exact biochemical mechanism is unclear. Effects on lipid metabolism include decreased triglycerides and free fatty acids, and a slight increase or no change in high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, and total cholesterol. There also appear to be acute increases in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake that are PPAR-independent. This effect is too rapid to occur via gene transcription, and in the case of troglitazone may result from action of its quinone metabolite. Troglitazone also decreases production of various inflammatory mediators and may antagonize TNFa.
Troglitazone�s most common adverse effect is fluid retention, which may increase preload and induce cardiac hypertrophy. Troglitazone is contraindicated in congestive heart failure, and cases of pulmonary edema have been reported. Troglitazone induces colon polyps in murine models and is therefore contraindicated for patients with familial polyposis coli. Troglitazone and pioglitazone (but not rosiglitazone) induce cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4. This enzyme induction can result in decreased drug levels or drug effects with estradiol, terfenadine, cyclosporine, simvistatin, tacrolimus, and other drugs metabolized by CYP 3A4. A small fraction of troglitazone is metabolized by CYP (not 3A4) to an active quinone metabolite, but it is mostly conjugated to sulfate and glucuronide. Troglitazone enhances the anticoagulant effect of warfarin, probably through competitive serum protein binding, and has other drug interactions at the PPAR level. Troglitazone interferes with gemfibrozil’s binding to PPARa, and may decrease NSAID effectiveness by competing for PPARg.
Rezulin� (tradename troglitazone by Parke-Davis) was FDA approved January 29, 1997, and was first marketed in March 1997. Over 600,000 American patients received troglitazone, with an additional 200,000 in Japan. Pre-marketing studies showed 1.9% of patients on troglitazone developed serum alanine aminotransferase levels in excess of three times the upper limit of normal, vs. 0.6% with placebo. Such hepatotoxicity was typically asymptomatic and reversible. A few patients developed overt liver injury, and two liver biopsies among these patients showed hepatocellular injury pattern. It was estimated that only 1 patient in 50,000 to 60,000 would die from liver failure or require liver transplantation. On November 3, 1997, the FDA released a warning regarding 150 adverse events with troglitazone, 35 with acute liver injury, and 3 deaths in Japan from liver failure. The warnings and restrictions about troglitazone were extended in December 1997, July 1998, and June 1999. Troglitazone was voluntarily withdrawn from the US market on March 21, 2000, after it had been demonstrated that Rezulin� was more toxic than either Avandia� (rosiglitazone) or Actos�(pioglitazone).
Troglitazone hepatotoxicity appears to be idiosyncratic. The onset is typically delayed, usually 2-5 months after initiating therapy, although one case was reported after only four doses. Although hypersensitivity has been suggested in several cases, the hallmarks of immune mechanisms, fever, rash, and eosinophilia, are usually absent. Histologic specimens usually show hepatocellular injury, bridging fibrosis and necrosis, intracanalicular cholestasis, and lack of regenerative activity. Samples vary in the amount of WBC infiltration (with or without eosinophils) and steatosis.
Idiosyncratic (or host-dependent) drug reactions are either due to hypersensitivity or to metabolic aberrations. It is not clear whether troglitazone hepatotoxicity is caused by hypersensitivity. Proposed metabolic aberrations include oxidation/reduction reactions with the a-tocopherol moiety on troglitazone (although it is usually considered an antioxidant), reactions from the quinone metabolite (similar to acetaminophen’s quinone metabolite), and genetic variations in cytokines and their receptors, the apoptosis cascade, mitochondrial respiration, and regenerative response. It is unlikely that CYP polymorphisms play a major role, as the incidence of troglitazone hepatotoxicity is too low. Two cases of hepatic toxicity associated with rosiglitazone have also been reported. Although the patients had co-morbidities, exposures to other drugs, and one case may have been due to shock, these cases suggest that hepatotoxicity may be an emerging “class-effect” of thiazolidinediones.
Troglitazone (Rezulin, Resulin, Romozin, Noscal) is an antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory drug, and a member of the drug class of the thiazolidinediones. It was prescribed for patients with diabetes mellitus type 2.[1] It was developed by Daiichi Sankyo Co.(Japan). In the United States, it was introduced and manufactured by Parke-Davis in the late 1990s, but turned out to be associated with an idiosyncratic reaction leading to drug-induced hepatitis. One F.D.A. medical officer evaluating troglitazone, John Gueriguian, did not recommend its approval due to potential high liver toxicity,[2] but a full panel of experts approved it in January 1997.[3] Once the prevalence of adverse liver effects became known, troglitazone was withdrawn from the British market in December 1997, from the United States market in 2000, and from the Japanese market soon afterwards. It didn’t get approval in the rest of Europe.
Approval history
Troglitazone was developed as the first anti-diabetic drug having a mechanism of action involving the enhancement of insulin sensitivity. At the time it was widely believed that such drugs, by addressing the primary metabolic defect associated with Type 2 diabetes, would have numerous benefits including avoiding the risk of hypoglycemia associated with insulin and earlier oral antidiabetic drugs. It was further believed that reducing insulin resistance would potentially reduce the very high rate of cardiovascular disease that is associated with diabetes.[4][5]
Parke-Davis/Warner Lambert submitted the diabetes drug Rezulin for U.S. Food and Drug Administration (F.D.A.) review on July 31, 1996. The medical officer assigned to the review, Dr. John L. Gueriguian, cited Rezulin’s potential to harm the liver and the heart and he questioned its viability in lowering blood sugar for patients with adult-onset diabetes, recommending against the drug’s approval. After complaints from the drugmaker, Gueriguian was removed on November 4, 1996 and his review was purged by the F.D.A.[6][7]Gueriguian and the company had a single meeting, at which Gueriguian used “intemperate” language; The company said it’s objections were based on inappropriate remarks made by Gueriguian.[8] Parke-Davis said at the advisory committee that the risk of liver toxicity was comparable to placebo and that additional data of other studies confirmed this.[9] According to Peter Gøtzsche, when the company provided these additional data one week after approval, they showed a substantial greater risk for liver toxicity.[10]
The F.D.A. approved the drug on January 29, 1997, and it appeared in pharmacies in late March. At the time Dr. Solomon Sobel, a director at the F.D.A., overseeing diabetes drugs, said in a New York Times interview that adverse effects of troglitazone appeared to be rare and relatively mild.[11]
Glaxo Wellcome P.L.C. received approval from the British Medicines Control Agency (MCA) to market troglitazone, as Romozin, in July 1997.[12] After reports of sudden liver failure in patients receiving the drug, the Parke-Davis and the FDA added warnings to the drug label requiring monthly monitoring of liver enzyme levels.[13] Glaxo removed troglitazone from the market in Britain on December 1, 1997.[6] Glaxo had licensed the drug from Sankyo Company of Japan and had sold it in Britain from October 1, 1997.[14][15]
On May 17, 1998, a 55-year old patient named Audrey LaRue Jones died of acute liver failure after taking troglitazone. Importantly, she had been monitored closely by physicians at the National Institutes of Health as a participant in the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) diabetes prevention study.[16][17] This called into question the efficacy of the monitoring strategy. The N.I.H. responded on June 4 by dropping troglitazone from the study.[7][18] Dr. David J. Graham, an F.D.A. epidemiologist charged with evaluating the drug, warned on March 26, 1999 of the dangers of using it and concluded that patient monitoring was not effective in protecting against liver failure. He estimated that the drug could be linked to over 430 liver failures and that patients incurred 1,200 times greater risk of liver failure when taking Rezulin.[7][19] Dr. Janet B. McGill, an endocrinologist who had assisted in the Warner–Lambert’s early clinical testing of Rezulin, wrote in a March 1, 2000 letter to Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.): “I believe that the company . . . deliberately omitted reports of liver toxicity and misrepresented serious adverse events experienced by patients in their clinical studies.”[20]
On March 21, 2000, the F.D.A. withdrew the drug from the market.[21] Dr. Robert I. Misbin, an F.D.A. medical officer, wrote in a July 3, 2000 letter to the House Energy and Commerce Committee of strong evidence that Rezulin could not be used safely, after having been threatened by the FDA with dismissal in March 2000.[6][22] By that time the drug had been linked to 63 liver-failure deaths and had generated sales of more than $2.1 billion for Warner-Lambert.[19] The drug cost $1,400 a year per patient in 1998.[15] Pfizer, which had acquired Warner-Lambert in February 2000, reported the withdrawal of Rezulin cost $136 million.[23]
Lawsuits
In 2009 Pfizer Inc. resolved all but three of 35,000 claims over its withdrawn diabetes drug Rezulin for a total of about $750 million. Pfizer, which acquired rival Wyeth for almost $64 billion, paid about $500 million to settle Rezulin cases consolidated in federal court in New York, according to court filings. The company also paid as much as $250 million to resolve state-court suits. In 2004, it set aside $955 million to end Rezulin cases.[24]
Mode of action
Troglitazone, like the other thiazolidinediones (pioglitazone and rosiglitazone), works by activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs).
Troglitazone is a ligand to both PPARα and – more strongly – PPARγ. Troglitazone also contains an α-tocopheroyl moiety, potentially giving it vitamin E-like activity in addition to its PPAR activation. It has been shown to reduce inflammation:[25] troglitazone use was associated with a decrease of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) and a concomitant increase in its inhibitor (IκB). NFκB is an important cellular transcription regulator for the immune response.

A new synthesis of [14C]-labeled CS-045 has been reported: The condensation of 5-acetoxy-2-hydroxy-3,4,6-trimethylacetophenone (I) with phenoxyacetone (II) by means of morpholine and p-toluenesulfonic acid in refluxing benzene gives 6-acetoxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-2-(phenoxymethyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b]pyran-4-one (III), which is reduced with NaBH4 in methanol to the corresponding carbinol (IV). The dehydration of (IV) by means of p-toluenesulfonic acid in refluxing benzene affords 2-acetoxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-2-(phenoxymethyl)-2H-benzo[b]pyran (V), which is hydrogenated with H2 over Pd/C in methanol to give the corresponding 3,4-dihydro derivative (VI). The hydrolysis of (VI) with NaOH in methanol yields the corresponding phenol (VII), which is chloromethylated with paraformaldehyde and dry HCl in dioxane to afford 2-[4-(chloromethyl)phenoxymethyl]-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b]pyran-6-ol (VIII). The protection of (VIII) with chloromethyl methyl ether by means of potassium tert-butoxide in THF gives the corresponding 6-(methoxymethoxy) derivative (IX), which is condensed with [5-14C]-thiazolidine-2,4-dione (X) by means of butyllithium in THF-HMPT to yield 5-[4-[6-(methoxymethoxy)-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b]pyran-2-ylmethoxy]benzyl]-[5-14C]-thiazolidine-2,4-dione (XI). Finally, this compound is deprotected with concentrated HCl in ethylene glycol monomethyl ether at 130 C.

A new short synthesis of troglitazone has been described: Condensation of the bromoacetal (I) with 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (II) by means of K2CO3 and NaI in refluxing acetone gives the unsaturated ether (III), which is cyclized with trimethylhydroquinone (IV) by means of bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide in dichloromethane to yield the 6-hydroxybenzopyran (V). Acylation of (V) with acetic anhydride and DMAP in THF affords the expected acetoxybenzopyran (VI), which is condensed with thiazolidine-2,4-dione (VII) by means of piperidine in toluene to provide the 6-benzylidene-thiazolidine (VIII). The hydrogenation of (VIII) with H2 over Pd/C in methanol gives the corresponding benzyl derivative (IX), which is finally deacetylated with AcOH/HCl/water (3:1:1) in MeOH.

EXAMPLE-1
A mixture of 70 g of ethyl-3- 4-(6-acetoxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-ylmethoxy)phenyl!-2-chloropropionate, 13.12 g of thiourea and 80.2 ml of sulpholane was reacted for 80 min., under a nitrogen stream at 115°-120° C. Subsequently, a 656.2 ml Acetic acid, 218.7 ml conc. hydrochloric acid and 109.4 ml water was added to this and the resulting mixture was further heated for 12 hrs at 85°-90° C. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and 196.8 g of sodium bicarbonate was added and once the evolution of carbondioxide had ceased, the solvent was distilled off applying high vacuum. A 10:1 by volume mixture of benzene and ethyl acetate was added to the residue and the crude product was washed with a mixture of equal volumes of a saturated aq. sodium bicarbonate solution & water. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and the solvent was distilled off. The resulting crude product was quickly eluted from a silica gel column with 50% ethylacetate-hexane to furnish 40 g of the required 5-{4-(6-hydroxy-2, 5, 7, 8-tetramethylchroman-2-yl-methoxy) benzyl) thiazolidine-2,4-dione (Troglitazone) with a HPLC purity of ˜67-70%. The elution of column was continued further to yield 5- 4-(6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-yl-methoxy)benzyl!2-iminothiazolidine-4-one with HPLC purity of ˜70%.

Description of TAK-733: TAK-733 is an orally bioavailable small-molecule inhibitor of MEK1 and MEK2 (MEK1/2) with potential antineoplastic activity. MEK inhibitor TAK-733 selectively binds to and inhibits the activity of MEK1/2, preventing the activation of MEK1/2-dependent effector proteins and transcription factors, which may result in the inhibition of growth factor-mediated cell signaling and tumor cell proliferation. MEK1/2 (MAP2K1/K2) are dual-specificity threonine/tyrosine kinases that play key roles in the activation of the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK pathway and are often upregulated in a variety of tumor cell types.
Current developer: Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc./Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited.
TAK-733 is being developed at Millennium Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of adult patients with advanced non-hematological malignancies. Phase I clinical trials are ongoing for the treatment of advanced metastatic melanoma. In preclinical studies, the compound has been shown to bind to and potently inhibit MEK.

Synthesis of compounds 26 and 27 (Route 4). Reagents and conditions: (a) 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, K2CO3, DMF; (b) (R)-O-((2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl)hydroxylamine or 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-5-amine, K2CO3 or Cs2CO3, DMF; (c) HCl, THF; (d) Selectfluor, CH3CN,DMF.
TAK-733 exhibited potent enzymatic and cell activity with an IC50 of 3.2 nM against constitutively active MEK enzyme and an EC50 of 1.9 nM against ERK phosphorylation in cells. TAK-733 did not inhibit any other kinases, receptors or ion channels that were tested with inhibitor concentrations up to 10 μM. TAK-733 was found to bind plasma protein moderately (ca. 97% for human and 96% for mouse), and exhibit high permeability and high microsomal stability across species. It did not inhibit P450s up to 30 μM.
The co-crystal structure of TAK-733 in the MEK1 allosteric site has been solved (Fig. 3). As predicted, the pyridone oxygen makes a hydrogen bond with the backbone NH of Ser212. The 2-fluoro-4-iodoaniline moeity sits in the deep lipophilic pocket. The pyrimidinone oxygen makes a hydrogen bond with Lys97, and the propanediol terminal hydroxyl interacts with both Lys97 and the ADP phosphate.

MEK kinases regulate the pathway that mediates proliferative and anti-apoptotic signaling factors that promote tumor growth and metastasis. TAK-733 is an MEK kinase inhibitor that entered phase I clinical trials for the treatment of cancer. A noteworthy feature of this short synthesis (25% yield overall) is the one-pot, three-step synthesis of the fluoropyridone D, in which the fluorine atom is present at the outset.
The reaction of F with the nosylate G gave a mixture of N- and O-alkylation products (8:1) from which the desired N-alkylation product was isolated by crystallization. The mixture of N-methyl pyrrolidine (NMP) and methanol used in the final deprotection step, helped to ensure formation of the desired polymorph. The nine-step discovery synthesis (3% overall yield) is also presented.

Aplaviroc (INN, codenamed AK602 and GSK-873140) is a CCR5 entry inhibitor developed for the treatment of HIV infection.[1][2] It is developed by GlaxoSmithKline.
In October 2005, all studies of aplaviroc were discontinued due to liver toxicity concerns.[3][4] Some authors have claimed that evidence of poor efficacy may have contributed to termination of the drug’s development;[5] the ASCENT study, one of the discontinued trials, showed aplaviroc to be under-effective in many patients even at high concentrations.[6]
Aplaviroc hydrochloride, an orally-effective, long-acting chemokine CCR5 receptor antagonist, had been under development by Ono and GlaxoSmithKline for the treatment of HIV infection. In early 2006, the companies discontinued development of the antagonist based on reports of elevated liver function test values from clinical studies.
Originally developed at Ono, aplaviroc was licensed to GlaxoSmithKline in 2003 for development, manufacturing and marketing. GlaxoSmithKline also obtained rights to evaluate the agent in non-HIV conditions worldwide with the exception of Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.
A low-molecular-weight compound, aplaviroc prevents HIV viral infection by blocking the binding of the virus to the CCR5 receptor

Owing to the special properties of piperazines (increased solubility and H-bond acceptor capability etc.) it is often considered to be a privileged structure and therefore occurs widely, for instance in GlaxoSmithKlines investigational anti-HIV drug aplaviroc (4.37) which, despite being a promising CCR5 receptor antagonist, was discontinued due to hepatotoxicity concerns. In this compound the spirodiketopiperazine unit (4.35) was designed to mimic a type-1 β-turn (4.36) as present in G-protein coupled receptors (Figure 14) [117].
The synthesis of aplaviroc and its analogues can be accomplished via the use of an Ugi multicomponent reaction (Ugi-MCR) [118]. The procedure involved the condensation of piperidone 4.38 and butylamine (4.39) followed by reaction of the resulting imine with isocyanide 4.41 and interception of the nitrilium intermediate with the amino acid4.40 (Scheme 47) [119]. This sequence was completed by structural rearrangement and acid-mediated ring closure to produce the spirocyclic diketopiperazine 4.43. Following debenzylation this material was subjected to a reductive amination finally affording aplaviroc analogues (Scheme 47).

STANFORD, Calif. — Stanford University School of Medicine investigators have found that for people harboring a genetic predisposition that is prevalent among Americans, beta carotene, which the body converts to a close cousin of vitamin A, may lower the risk for the most common form of diabetes, while gamma tocopherol, the major form of vitamin E in the American diet, may increase risk for the disease.
The scientists used a “big data” approach to hunt down interactions between gene variants previously associated with increased risk for type-2 diabetes and blood levels of substances previously implicated in type-2 diabetes risk. In people carrying a double dose of one such predisposing gene variant, the researchers pinpointed a highly statistically significant inverse association of beta carotene blood levels with type-2 diabetes risk, along with a suspiciously high positive association of gamma tocopherol with risk for the disease.

The molecular formula of suramin is C51H34N6O23S6. It is a symmetric molecule in the center of which lies urea, NH-CO-NH. Suramin contains eightbenzene rings, four of which are fused in pairs (naphthalene), four amide groups in addition to the one of urea and six sulfonate groups. When given as drug it usually contains six sodium ions that form a salt with the six sulfonate groups.
Suramin is a drug developed by Oskar Dressel and Richard Kothe of Bayer, Germany in 1916, and is still sold by Bayer under the brand nameGermanin.
Suramin sodium is a heparanase inhibitor that was first launched in 1940 by Bayer under the brand name Antrypol for the treatment of helminthic infection. It was later launched by Bayer for the treatment of trypanosomiasis (African sleeping sickness).
More recently, the product has entered early clinical development at Ohio State University for the treatment of platinum-pretreated patients with stage IIIB/IV non-small cell lung cancer, in combination with docetaxel or gemcitabine.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is conducting phase II clinical studies for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme and for the treatment of adrenocortical carcinoma.
According to the National Cancer Institute there are no active clinical trials (as of April 1, 2008). Completed and closed clinical trials are listed here:[1]
In addition to Germanin, the National Cancer Institute also lists the following “Foreign brand names”: 309 F or 309 Fourneau,[1] Bayer 205, Moranyl, Naganin, Naganine.

It is used for treatment of human sleeping sickness caused by trypanosomes.[2]
It has been used in the treatment of onchocerciasis.[3]
It has been investigated as treatment for prostate cancer.[4]
Also, suramin as treatment for autism is being evaluated. [5]
Suramin is administered by a single weekly intravenous injection for six weeks. The dose per injection is 1 g.
The most frequent adverse reactions are nausea and vomiting. About 90% of patients will get an urticarial rash that disappears in a few days without needing to stop treatment. There is a greater than 50% chance of adrenal cortical damage, but only a smaller proportion will require lifelongcorticosteroid replacement. It is common for patients to get a tingling or crawling sensation of the skin with suramin. Suramin will cause clouding of the urine which is harmless: patients should be warned of this to avoid them becoming alarmed.
Kidney damage and exfoliative dermatitis occur less commonly.
Suramin has been applied clinically to HIV/AIDS patients resulting in a significant number of fatal occurrences and as a result the application of this molecule was abandoned for this condition. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3548350
Suramin is also used in research as a broad-spectrum antagonist of P2 receptors[6][7] and agonist of Ryanodine receptors.[8]
suramin
Its effect on telomerase has been investigated.[9]
It may have some activity against RNA viruses.[10]
In addition to antagonism of P2 receptors, Suramin inhibits the acitivation of heterotrimeric G proteins in a variety of other GPCRs with varying potency. It prevents the association of heteromeric G proteins and therefore the receptors Guanine exchange functionality (GEF). With this blockade the GDP will not release from the Gα subunit so it can not be replaced by a GTP and become activated. This has the effect of blocking downstream G protein mediated signaling of various GPCR proteins including Rhodopsin, the A1 Adenosine receptor, and the D2 dopamine receptor.[11]

- The formula of suramin was kept secret by Bayer for commercial reasons. But it was elucidated and published in 1924 by Fourneau and his team of the Pasteur Institute, and it is only on this date that its exact chemical composition was known. (E. Fourneau, J. and Th.

Enterovirus-71 (EV71) is one of the major causative reagents for hand-foot-and-mouth disease. In particular, EV71 causes severe central nervous system infections and leads to numerous dead cases. Although several inactivated whole-virus vaccines have entered in clinical trials, no antiviral agent has been provided for clinical therapy. In the present work, we screened our compound library and identified that suramin, which has been clinically used to treat variable diseases, could inhibit EV71 proliferation with an IC50 value of 40μM. We further revealed that suramin could block the attachment of EV71 to host cells to regulate the early stage of EV71 infection, as well as affected other steps of EV71 life cycle. Our results are helpful to understand the mechanism for EV71 life cycle and provide a potential for the usage of an approved drug, suramin, as the antiviral against EV71 infection.

Suramin Sodium, is an anticancer agent with a wide variety of activities.
Recently suramin was shown to inhibit FSH binding to its receptor (Daugherty, R. L.; Cockett, A. T. K.; Schoen, S. R. and Sluss, P. M. “Suramin inhibits gonadotropon action in rat testis: implications for treatment of advanced prostate cancer” J. Urol. 1992, 147, 727-732).
This activity causes, at least in part, the decrease in testosterone production seen in rats and humans that were administered suramin(Danesi, R.; La Rocca, R. V.; Cooper, M. R.; Ricciardi, M. P.; Pellegrini, A.; Soldani, P.; Kragel, P. J.; Paparelli, A.; Del Tacca, M.; Myers, C. E, “Clinical and experimental evidence of inhibition of testosterone production by suramin.” J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab. 1996, 81, 2238-2246).
Suramin is the only non-peptidic small molecule that has been reported to be an FSH receptor binding antagonist.
Suramin is 8,8′ – (carbonylbis(imino-3,1-phenylenecarbonylimino (4-methyl-3,1-phenylene) carbonylimino)) bis-1,3 ,5-naphthalenetrisulfonic acid (GB Patent No. 224849). This polyanionic compound has been used for many decades as a prophylactic and therapeutic agent for try- panosomiasis. It was subsequently shown that suramin is able to block the activity of a variety of proteins like cellular and viral enzymes and growth factors (Mitsuya, M. et al. Science 226 : 172 (1984), Hosang, M. J. Cell. Biochem. 29 : 265 (1985), De Clercq, E. Cancer Lett. 8 : 9 (1979)).

Summary of Metabolomics
Author and Curator: Larry H. Bernstein, MD, FCAP
This concludes the series on metabolomics, a rapidly developing science that is interconnected with a group termed – OMICS: proteomics, transcriptomics, genomics, and metabolomics. This chapter is most representative of the many important studies being done in the field, which ranges most widely because it has opened doors into nutrition and nutritional supplements, plant biochemistry, agricultural crops and breeding, animal breeding, worldwide malnutrition, diabetes, cancer, neurosciences, circulatory, respiratory, and musculosletal disorders, infectious diseases and immune system disorders. Obviously, it is not possible to cover the full range of activity, but metabolomics is most comprehensive in exploring the full range of metabolic changes that occur in health during the full age range from development to the geriatric years. It can be integrated well with gene expression, proteomics studies, and epidemiological investigations.
