Novel crystalline form of cefditoren pivoxil (first disclosed in EP175610). Represents Yungjin Pharma’s first interest in this API, which was developed and launched by Meiji Seika and previous licensee TAP Pharmaceuticals, and now marketed by Merus Labs, for treating chronic bronchitis and community acquired pneumonia caused by bacterial infections

 

Cefditoren is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic for oral use. It is commonly marketed under the trade name Spectracef by Vansen Pharma Inc.

Cefditoren is also marketed under the name Meiact by Meiji Seika Pharma Co., Ltd.[1]

Cefditoren pivoxil is a prodrug which is hydrolyzed by esterases during absorption, and the drug is distributed in the circulating blood as active cefditoren. Cefditoren is a cephalosporin with antibacterial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens. Cefditoren is effective against Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-susceptible strains, including b-lactamase-producing strains), penicillin-susceptible strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Haemophilus influenzae (including b-lactamase-producing strains), Haemophilus parainfluenzae (including b-lactamase-producing strains), Moraxella catarrhalis (including b-lactamase-producing strains), Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus Groups C and G, and Streptococcus, viridans group (penicillin-susceptible and -intermediate strains).

Spectrum of bacterial susceptibility

Cefditoren has a broad spectrum of activity and has been used to treat bacterial infections of the skin and respiratory tract, including bronchitis, pneumonia, and tonsillitis. The following represents MIC susceptibility data for a few medically significant microorganisms.

  • Haemophilus influenzae: ≥0.063 – 0.25 μg/ml
  • Staphylcoccus aureus: 0.25 – >128 μg/ml (includes MRSA)
  • Streptococcus pyogenes: ≤0.004 – 2 μg/ml[2]

Cefditoren is a broad-spectrum antibiotic against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, but does not have antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.[3]

Clinical use

Main article: Cephalosporin

Indications

Cefditoren is used to treat uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections, community-acquired pneumonia, acute bacterial exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, pharyngitis, and tonsillitis.

Formulations

Cefditoren is available as 200- and 400-mg tablets. It can be formulated as the prodrug cefditoren pivoxil.

Chemical structure of cefditoren pivoxil

EP 0175610; ES 8704955; JP 1986178991; JP 1987019593
The reaction of 3-(chloromethyl)-7-(phenylacetamido)-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid 4-methoxybenzyl ester (I) with triphenylphosphine and NaI in acetone gives the corresponding phosphonium salt (II), which is condensed with 4-methylthiazole-5-carboxaldehyde (III) by means of NaHCO3 in dichloromethane affording 3-[2(Z)-(4-methylthiazol-5-yl)vinyl]-7-(phenylacetamido)-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid 4-methoxybenzyl ester (IV). The cleavage of the amido group of (IV) with PCl5 and pyridine yields the 7-amino compound (V), which is condensed with 2-(methoxyimino)-2-[2-(tritylamino)thiazol-4-yl]acetic acid (VI) by means of POCl3 in dichloromethane giving 3-[2(Z)-(4-methylthiazol-5-yl)vinyl]-7-[2(Z)-methoxyimino)-2-(2-tritylamino)thiazol-4-yl)acetamido]-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid 4-methoxybenzyl ester (VII). The deprotection of (VII) with trifluoroacetic acid and anisole yields the free amino acid (VIII), which is finally esterified with iodomethyl pivalate (IX) in DMF.

Trabectedin, also referred as ET-743 during its development, is a marine derived antitumoral agent discovered in the Carribean tunicate _Ecteinascidia turbinata_ and now produced synthetically. Trabectedin has a unique mechanism of action. It binds to the minor groove of DNA interfering with cell division and genetic transcription processes and DNA repair machinery.It is approved for use in Europe, Russia and South Korea for the treatment of advanced soft tissue sarcoma. It is also undergoing clinical trials for the treatment of breast, prostate, and paediatric sarcomas. The European Commission and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have granted orphan drug status to trabectedin for soft tissue sarcomas and ovarian cancer.

 

Trabectedin (also known as ecteinascidin 743 or ET-743) is an anti-tumor drug. It is sold by Zeltia and Johnson and Johnson under the brand name Yondelis. It is approved for use in Europe, Russia and South Korea for the treatment of advanced soft tissue sarcoma. It is also undergoing clinical trials for the treatment of breast, prostate, and paediatric sarcomas. The European Commission and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have granted orphan drug status to trabectedin for soft tissue sarcomas and ovarian cancer.

Discovery and development

The ecteinascidins (herein abbreviated ETs) are exceedingly potent antitumor agents isolated from the marine tunicate Ecteinascidia turbinata. Several ecteinascidins have been reported previously in the patent and scientific literature. See, for example U.S. Pat. No. 5,089,273, which describes novel compounds of matter extracted from the tropical marine invertebrate Ecteinascidia turbinata, and designated therein as ecteinascidins 729, 743, 745, 759A, 759B and 770. These compounds are useful as antibacterial and/or antitumor agents in mammals. U.S. Pat. No. 5,478,932 describes other novel ecteinascidins isolated from the Caribbean tunicate Ecteinascidia turbinata, which provide in vivo antitumor activity against P388 lymphoma, B16 melanoma, M5076 ovarian sarcoma, Lewis lung carcinoma, and the LX- I human lung and MX- 1 human mammary carcinoma xenografts.

One of the ETs, ecteinascidin 743 (ET-743), is a tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid with considerable in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity in murine and human tumors, and potent antineoplastic activity against a variety of human tumor xenografts grown in athymic mice, including melanoma, ovarian and breast carcinoma.

ET-743 is a natural compound with the following structure:

ET-743 is also known with the generic name trabectedin and the trademark Yondelis®, and it is currently approved in Europe for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma. The clinical development of trabectedin continues in phase 11/ III clinical trials in breast, ovarian and prostate cancer. A clinical development program of ET-743 in cancer patients was started with phase I studies investigating 1- hour, 3-hour, 24-hour, and 72-hour intravenous infusion schedules and a 1 hour daily x 5 (dx5) schedule. Promising responses were observed in patients with sarcoma, breast and ovarian carcinoma.

Therefore this new drug is currently under intense investigation in several phase 11/ III clinical trials in cancer patients with a variety of neoplastic diseases. Further information regarding the dosage, schedules, and administration of ET-743 for the treatment of cancer in the human body, either given alone or in combination is provided in WO 00/69441 , WO 02/36135, WO 03/39571 , WO 2004/ 105761 , WO 2005/039584, WO 2005/049031 , WO 2005/049030, WO 2005/049029, WO 2006/046080, WO 2006/005602, and PCT/US07/98727, which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.

A review of ET-743, its chemistry, mechanism of action and preclinical and clinical development can be found in Kesteren, Ch.

Van et al., Anti-Cancer Drugs, 2003, 14 (7), 487-502: “ET-743 (trabectedin, ET-743): the development of an anticancer agent of marine origin”, and references therein.

During the past 30 years medical oncologists have focused to optimise the outcome of cancer patients and it is just now that the new technologies available are allowing to investigate polymorphisms, gene expression levels and gene mutations aimed to predict the impact of a given therapy in different groups of cancer patients to tailor chemotherapy. Representative examples include the relationship between the Thymidylate Synthase (TS) mRNA expression and the response and the survival with antifolates, beta tubulin III mRNA levels and response to tubulin interacting agents, PTEN gene methylation and resistance to CPT- I l and, STAT3 over expression and resistance to Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) interacting agents.

A molecular observation of potential clinical impact relates to the paradoxical relation between the efficiency of the Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) pathway and the cytotoxicity of ET-743. In fact, tumour cells that are efficient in this DNA repair pathway appear to be more sensitive to ET-743. This evidence is in contrast with the pattern noted with platin based therapeutic regimens which are highly dependent on the lack of activity of this repair pathway (ie. an increase in ERCCl expression has been associated to clinical resistance to platinum-based anti-cancer therapy).

There are evidences on the key role of NER pathways on the cytotoxicity of ET-743 in cell lines. ET-743 binds to G residues in the minor groove of DNA forming adducts that distort the DNA helix structure and they are recognised by NER mechanisms (Pourquier, P. et al., 2001 , Proceedings of the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting, Vol. 42, pp. 556. 92nd Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research. New Orleans, LA, USA. March 24-28, 2001. ISSN: 0197-016X). Takebayasi et al. (Nature Medicine, 2001 , 7(8), 961-966) have proposed that the presence of these DNA adducts in transcribed genes, blocks the Transcription Coupled NER (TC-NER) system by stalling the cleavage intermediates and producing lethal Single Strand Breaks (SSBs). It is known from Grazziotin et al (Proc.Natl.Acad.Sic.USA, 104: 13062- 13067) that the DNA adducts formed by exposure to ET-743 are transformed into double strand DNA breaks.

The fact that NER mediates ET-743 ‘s cytotoxicity has also been found in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisae by Grazziotin et al. (Biochemical Pharmacology, 2005, 70, 59-69) and in the yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe by Herrero et al. (Cancer Res. 2006, 66(16), 8155-8162).

In addition, Bueren et al. (Proceedings AACR Annual Meeting 2007, Abstract no. 1965) have been shown that ET-743 induces double-strand breaks in the DNA in early S phase that are detected and repaired by the Homologous Recombination Repair (HRR) pathway. In addition, Erba et al (Eur. J. Cancer, 2001 , 37(1), 97- 105) and Bueren et al (Proceedings AACR Annual Meeting 2007, Abstract no. 1965) have shown that inactivation/ mutations of genes related to the Double Strand Break detection such as DNA-PK, ATM and ATR and of genes related to Homologous Recombination Repair pathway, such as Fanconi Anemia genes, BRCAl , BRCA2 and RAD51 make cells more sensitive to trabectedin. Such unique finding is the opposite to the pattern with conventional DNA interacting agents, like in the case of microtubule poisons such as taxanes and vinorelbine.

Finally, pharmacogenomic studies prior have demonstrated that increased expression of the NER genes ERCCl and XPD in the tumor tissue does not impact the outcome of patients treated with

ET-743. However, the low expression of BRCAl in the tumor tissue is correlated with a better outcome in cancer patents treated with

ET-743. Further information can be found in WO 2006/005602, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

Three rare, autosomal recessive inherited human disorders are associated with impaired NER activity: xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), Cockayne Syndrome (CS), and trichothiodystrophy (Bootsma et al. The Genetic Basis of Human Cancer. McGraw-Hill, 1998, 245- 274). XP patients exhibit extreme sensitivity to sunlight, resulting in a high incidence of skin cancers (Kraemer et al. Arch. Dermatol. 123, 241-250, and Arch. Dermatol. 130, 1018- 1021). About 20% of XP patients also develop neurologic abnormalities in addition to their skin problems. These clinical findings are associated with cellular defects, including hypersensitivity to killing and mutagenic effects of UV, and inability of XP cells to repair UV-induced DNA damage (van Steeg et al. MoI. Med. Today, 1999, 5, 86-94).

Seven different NER genes, which correct seven distinct genetic XP complementation groups (XPA-XPG), have been identified (Bootsma et al. The Genetic Basis of Human Cancer. McGraw-Hill, 1998, 245-274). The human gene responsible for XP group G was identified as ERCC5 (Mudgett et al. Genomics, 1990, 8, 623-633; O’Donovan et al. Nature, 1993, 363, 185- 188; and Nouspikel et al. Hum. MoI. Genet. 1994, 3, 963-967). The XPG gene codes for a structure-specific endonuclease that cleaves damaged DNA ~5 nt 3′ to the site of the lesion and is also required non-enzymatically for subsequent 5’ incision by the XPF/ ERCCl heterodimer during the NER process (Aboussekhra et al. Cell, 1995, 80, 859-868; Mu et al. J. Biol. Chem. 1996, 271 , 8285-8294; and Wakasugi et al. J. Biol. Chem. 1997, 272, 16030- 16034). There is also evidence suggesting that XPG is also involved in transcription-coupled repair of oxidative DNA lesions (Le Page et al. Cell, 101 , 159- 171).

Takebayashi et al. (Cancer Lett., 2001 , 174: 1 15- 125) have observed an increase in heterozygosity loss and microsatellite instability in a substantial percentage of samples of ovarian, lung and colon carcinoma. Le Moirvan et al, (Int.J. Cancer, 2006,1 19: 1732- 1735) have described the presence of polymorphisms in the XPG gene in sarcoma patients. It is also known from Takebayashi et al. (Proceedings of the American Association forCancer Research Annual Meeting, March, 2001 , Vol. 42, pp. 813.92nd Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer

Research. New Orleans, LA, USA. March 24-28, 2001) that cells deficient in the NER system are resistant to treatment with ET-743 (Zewail-Foote, M. et al., 2001 , Chemistry and Biology, 8: 1033- 1049 and Damia, G. et al., 2001 , Symposium AACR NCI EORTC) and that the antiproliferative effects of ET-743 require a functional XPG gene.

Since cancer is a leading cause of death in animals and humans, several efforts have been and are still being undertaken in order to obtain an antitumor therapy active and safe to be administered to patients suffering from a cancer. Accordingly, there is a need for providing additional antitumor therapies that are useful in the treatment of cancer.

Trabectedin is a tetrahydroisoquinoline, a novel marine-derived antitumor agent isolated from the colonial tunicate Ecteinascidia turbinate. The drug binds to the minor groove of the DNA, bending the DNA towards the major groove, blocking the activation of genes in a unique way via several pathways, including selective inhibition of the expression of key genes (including oncogenes) involved in cell growth and drug resistance, inhibition of genetic repair pathways and inhibition of cell cycle progression leading to p53-independent programmed cell death.

In July 2003, the European Committee of Proprietary Medicinal Products (CPMP) recommended against granting marketing authorization to trabectedin for soft tissue sarcoma. PharmaMar appealed the decision in September 2003. Later that year, the CPMP rejected the company’s appeal. In 2006, the company filed another regulatory application for this indication and, finally, in 2007, a positive opinion was received in the E.U. for the treatment of metastatic soft tissue sarcoma. First commercialization of the product in the E.U. took place in October 2007 in the U.K. and Germany.

The compound is also available in several other countries. In 2008, the compound was filed for approval in the U.S. and the E.U. for the treatment of relapsed advanced ovarian cancer in combination with liposomal doxorubicin, and in 2009 approval was received in both countries. Trabectedin is available in several European countries, including the U.K. and Germany. Also in 2009 the drug candidate was approved in Philippines for the ovarian cancer indication.

The compound had been in phase II development by Johnson & Johnson for the treatment of prostate cancer; however, no recent development has been reported for this research. PharmaMar is evaluating the compound in phase II trials for the treatment of breast cancer. Additional early clinical trials are ongoing at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to evaluate trabectedin for potential use in the treatment of advanced, persistent or recurrent uterine leiomyosarcomas and solid tumors.

In 2011, a regulatory application that had been filed in the U.S. seeking approval for the treatment of relapsed advanced disease in combination with liposomal doxorubicin was withdrawn by the company based on the FDA’s recommendation that an additional phase III study be conducted to obtain approval. In 2014, Janssen Research & Development, LLC submitted an NDA for trabectedin to the FDA for the treatment of patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS), including liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma subtypes, who have received prior chemotherapy including an anthracycline.

Trabectedin was developed by PharmaMar, a subsidiary of Zeltia. The drug was being codeveloped and comarketed in partnership with Ortho Biotech, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson pursuant to an agreement signed in 2001. However, in 2008 the license agreement between the two companies was terminated.

The compound was granted orphan drug designation for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma and for the treatment of ovarian cancer by the FDA and the EMEA. In 2011, orphan drug designation was granted in Japan for the treatment of malignant soft tissue tumor accompanied with chromosomal translocation. In 2009, the product was licensed to Taiho by PharmaMar in Japan for the treatment of cancer.

During the 1950s and 1960s, the National Cancer Institute carried out a wide ranging program of screening plant and marine organism material. As part of that program extract from the sea squirt Ecteinascidia turbinata was found to have anticancer activity in 1969.[1] Separation and characterisation of the active molecules had to wait many years for the development of sufficiently sensitive techniques, and the structure of one of them, Ecteinascidin 743, was determined by KL Rinehart at the University of Illinois in 1984.[2] Rinehart had collected his sea squirts by scuba diving in the reefs of the West Indies.[3]

Recently, the biosynthetic pathway responsible for producing the drug, has been determined to come from Candidatus Endoecteinascidia frumentensis, a microbial symbiont of the tunicate.[4] The Spanish company PharmaMar licensed the compound from the University of Illinois before 1994 and attempted to farm the sea squirt with limited success.[3]

Yields from the sea squirt are extremely low – it takes 1 tonne of animals to isolate 1 gram of trabectedin – and about 5 grams were believed to be needed for a clinical trial[5] so Rinehart asked the Harvard chemist E. J. Corey to search for a synthetic method of preparation. His group developed such a method and published it in 1996.[6] This was later followed by a simpler and more tractable method which was patented by Harvard and subsequently licensed to PharmaMar.[3] The current supply is based on a semisynthetic process developed by PharmaMar starting from Safracin B, an antibiotic obtained by fermentation of the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens.[7] PharmaMar have entered into an agreement with Johnson and Johnson to market the compound outside Europe.

Trabectedin was first dosed in humans in 1996.In 2007, the EMEA gave authorisation for the marketing of trabectedin, under the trade name Yondelis, for the treatment of patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma, after failure of anthracyclines and ifosfamide, or who are unsuited to receive these agents. The agency’s evaluating committee, the CHMP observed that trabectedin had not been evaluated in an adequately designed and analyzed randomized trial against current best care, and that the clinical efficacy data was mainly based on patients with liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma. However the pivotal study did show a significant difference between two different trabectedin treatment regimens, and due to the rarity of the disease the CHMP considered that marketing authorisation could be granted under exceptional circumstances.[8] As part of the approval PharmaMar agreed to conduct a further trial to identify whether any specific chromosomal translocations could be used to predict responsiveness to trabectedin.[9] Trabectedin is also approved in South Korea[10] and Russia.

In 2008 the submission was announced of a registration dossier to the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) and the FDA for Yondelis when administered in combination with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (Doxil, Caelyx) for the treatment of women with relapsed ovarian cancer. In 2011, Johnson&Johnson voluntarily withdrew the submission in the United States following a request by the FDA for an additional Phase III study to be done in support of the submission.[11]

Trabectedin is also in phase II trials for prostate, breast and paediatric cancers.[12]

Structure

Yondelis.png

Trabectedin is composed of 3 tetrahydroisoquinoline moieties, 8 rings including one 10-membered heteocyclic ring containing a cysteine residue, and 7 chiral centers.

Biosynthesis

The biosynthesis of Trabectedin in Candidatus Endoecteinascidia frumentensis starts with a fatty acid loading onto the acyl-ligase domain of the EtuA3 module. A cysteine and glycine are then loaded as canonical NRPS amino acids. A tyrosine residue is modified by the enzymes EtuH, EtuM1, and EtuM2 to add a hydroxyl at the meta position of the phenol, and adding two methyl groups at the para-hydroxyl and the meta carbon position. This modified tyrosine reacts with the original substrate via a Pictet-Spangler reaction, where the amine group is converted to an imine by deprotonation, then attacks the free aldehyde to form a carbocation that is quenched by electrons from the methyl-phenol ring. This is done in the EtuA2 T-domain. This reaction is done a second time to yeid a dimer of modified tyrosine residues that have been further cyclized via Pictet-spangler reaction, yielding a bicyclic ring moiety. The EtuO and EtuF3 enzymes continue to post-translationally modify the molecule, adding several functional groups and making a sulfide bridge between the original cysteine residue and the beta-carbon of the first tyrosine to form ET-583, ET-597, ET-596, and ET-594 which have been previously isolated.[4] A third o-methylated tyrosine is added and cyclized via Pictet-Spangler to yield the final product.[4]

Proposed biosynthetic scheme for the biosynthesis of Trabecteden (ET-743)

Synthesis

The total synthesis by E.J. Corey used this proposed biosynthesis to guide their synthetic strategy. The synthesis uses such reactions as the Mannich reaction, Pictet-Spengler reaction, the Curtius rearrangement, and chiral rhodium-based diphosphinecatalyzed enantioselective hydrogenation. A separate synthetic process also involved the Ugi reaction to assist in the formation of the pentacyclic core. This reaction was unprecedented for using such a one pot multi-component reaction in the synthesis of such a complex molecule.

The previously reported synthesis of 139221 (scheme 13922101a) has been investigated in order to find a more efficient, reproducible and economical route to work in the mutikilogram scale. Herein it is reported a new process which is simpler and proceeds with an overall yield of 54% (the original process, 35%). The condensation of intermediate aminolactone (I) (scheme 13922101a, intermediate (VII)) with acid (XLII) (the acid derived from scheme 13922101a, intermediate ester (IX)) by means of 2-chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolidinium hexafluorophosphate (CIP), and 1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole (HOAt) in THF/dichloromethane gives the coupling product (XLIII), which is allylated with allyl bromide (XLIV) and Cs2CO3 in DMF yielding the allyl ether (XLV). The reduction of the lactone group of (XLV) with LiAlH2(OEt)2 in ethyl ether affords the lactol (XLVI), which is desilylated with KF in methanol to provide the phenolic compound (XLVII). The opening of the lactol ring of (XLVII) with simultaneous cyclization by means of Tf-OH in water/trifluoroethanol gives the hexacyclic intermediate (XLVIII), which is finally reductocondensed with KCN by means of LiAlH2(OEt)2 in THF to furnish the previously reported pentacyclic intermediate (XI) (scheme 13922101a, intermediate (XI)).

Reaction of cyanosafracin B (I) with Boc2O in ethanol gives the amino-protected compound (II), which is treated with methoxymethyl bromide (MOM-Br), DIEA and DMAP in acetonitrile yielding the O-protected compound (III). The demethylation of (III) with NaOH in methanol affords the hydroxyquinone (IV), which is reduced with H2 over Pd/C and cyclized with bromochloromethane and Cs2CO3 in hot DMF to provide compound (V). Reaction of (V) with allyl bromide (VI) and Cs2CO3 in DMF gives the allyl ether (VII), which first is treated with TFA, phenyl isothiocyanate and HCl to yield the primary amine (VIII) and then protected at the free NH2 group with Troc-Cl and pyridine, to afford the amino protected compound (IX).Org Lett 2000,2(16),2545

Reaction of (IX) with MOM-Br and DIEA as before affords the ether (X), which is treated with Zn/HOAc in order to regenerate the primary amino group giving (XI). The reaction of (XI) with NaNO2 and HOAc eliminates the NH2 group, affording the primary alcohol (XII), which is esterified with the protected (S)-cysteine (XIII) by means of EDC and DMAP in dichloromethane furnishing the cysteine ester (XIV). Reaction of (XIV) with Bu3SnH and PdCl2(PPh3)2, followed by oxidation with (PhSeO)2O in dichloromethane gives the hydroxyketone (XV), which is cyclized with Tf2O and Ac2O yielding the heptacyclic compound (XVI). Elimination of the MOM protecting group with TMSCl and NaI in CH3CN/CH2Cl2 affords the phenolic compound (XVII).

Intermediate (XVII) by a treatment with Zn and HOAc eliminates the Troc protecting group, giving the primary amine (XVIII). This compound by treatment with 4-formyl-1-methylpyridinium iodide (NMPC), DBU and oxalic acid in order to convert the nitrile group into an alcohol, provides compund (XIX), which is finally cyclized with 2-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)ethylamine (XX) by means of SiO2 / EtOH, followed treatment with and AgNO3 in acetonitrile/water.

The reaction of cyanosafracin B (I) with Boc2O in ethanol gives the amino protected compound (II), which is treated with Mom-Br, DIEA and DMAP in acetonitrile yielding the O-protected compound (III).

The reaction of (V) with acetyl chloride and pyridine in dichloromethane gives the acetate (VI), which is treated with TFA, phenyl isothiocyanate and HCl yielding the primary amine (VII). Finally, this compound is treated with phthalic anhydride (VIII) and CDI in dichloromethane to afford the target phthalimide (phthalascidin Pt-650)

Enantioselective Total Synthesis of Ecteinascidin 743

Department of Chemistry, Harvard University Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138
J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1996, 118 (38), pp 9202–9203
DOI: 10.1021/ja962480t
……………………………….

Ecteinascidins are a group of marine alkaloid having antineoplasticity which is isolated from the extracted products from the marine tunicate habitat of the Caribbean sea by a very small amount. Arming the ecteinascidins, Et 743 has a very strong antineoplastic activity, studies to put it into practical use as a carcinostatic agent are limited, and the phase II clinical tests are now being carried out in ten countries in Europe and America. It is known that Et 743 has an effect of depressing the proliferation of cancer cells by 10 to 100 times more potent than (IC50=0.1-1 nM) Toxol, Camptotesin, Adriamycin or Mitomycin which are currently used carcinostatic agents.

From the background mentioned above, various studies for synthesis were carried out; however, the complete synthesis was only reported by Prof. E. J. Corey of Harvard University in the U.S.A. (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1996, 118, 9202-9203, reference document A).

In the process of the total synthesis disclosed in Document A (refer to page 9202), the main feature of the process is that Et 743 is synthesized from the analogous compound to the compound represented by general formula 1 of the present invention via intermediates 4 and 8. That is, according to said process, the C4 site of ring B (regarding the location of rings, and the sites of atoms comprising the 6 membered ring, refer to general formula 1), which composes a 6 membered ring, is formed from the intermediate 4 at the first step. Since the atom C4 composing the ring B of the 6-membered ring H, which lacks reactivity, is bonded, it becomes necessary to perform an oxidation reaction at the C4 site on the B ring. This oxidation reaction is not effective and is carried out under harsh conditions; therefore production on an industrial scale is difficult, and also the yield is not good. Further, since the atom N12 site of the synthesized intermediate is substituted by an alkyl group which lacks reactivity, in this case substituted by a methyl group, it is not suited to the synthesis of various compounds. Although total synthesis was reported, the supplying source of Et 743 still depends on the natural sample whose supply is very scarce. Therefore, the establishment of the method for a large scale production of Et 743 is desired and requires accomplishing an effective synthesizing process.

Since ET 743 is known as a medicine having high antineoplasticity, and phthalascidin induced from the intermediate product at the synthesis of Et 743 displays the same activity to ET 743, the establishment of an effective and mild method for synthesis of ET 743 and analogous compounds thereof is strongly desired.

Therefore, the subject of the present invention is to accomplish the effective method for total synthesis of Et 743, and further, to provide not only Et 743 but also analogous compounds.

To dissolve the subject, the present invention uses retrosynthetic analysis for easy synthesis. It will be possible to form a B ring by a ring forming reaction at the ortho position of phenol, which binds an A ring to inner molecular aldehyde in a compound generated by the 4-8 reaction. Further, the present invention contemplates that the generated compound by the 4-8 reaction can be synthesized based on the polycondensation reaction of general formula 4, and general formula 5 via a compound of general formula 3. Then the total synthesis of Et 743, which is the aimed compound, can be accomplished by way of the compounds represented by general formulae 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 and the specific structure of general formulae 1 and 2. This synthetic route provides for the analogous compounds of Et 743.

Mechanism of action

The biological mechanism of action is believed to involve the production of superoxide near the DNA strand, resulting in DNA backbone cleavage and cell apoptosis. The actual mechanism is not yet known, but is believed to proceed from reduction of molecular oxygen into superoxide via an unusual auto-redox reaction on a hydroxyquinone moiety of the compound following. There is also some speculation the compound becomes ‘activated’ into its reactive oxazolidine form.

Schematic of the unique and complex mode of action of trabectedin. The antitumor effects of trabectedin are due to multiple mechanisms involving DNA binding in the minor groove, interactions with DNA repair mechanisms, modulation of transcription regulation, and induction of microenvironment changes.

Anti-inflammatory agents that are non-steroidal in nature. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, they have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions.They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis accounts for their analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions; other mechanisms may contribute to their anti-inflammatory effects.

Reaction of aldehyde (III) with 2-fluorobenzyl alcohol (VIII) by means of triphenylphosphine and diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD) in THF furnishes 6-(2-fluorobenzyloxy)naphthalene-2-carbaldehyde (IX) , which is then reduced with NaBH4 in ethanol/THF to give the naphthalenemethanol derivative (X). Halogenation of (X) by means of iodide, triphenylphosphine and imidazole in THF yields the naphthylmethyl iodide derivative (XI), which is finally condensed with thiazolidine-2,4-dione (IV) by means of HMPA and butyl lithium in THF.

Naveglitazar, a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) modulator, had been in phase II clinical trials for the once-daily oral treatment of type 2 diabetes, however, no recent development for this indication has been reported. The compound was originally discovered through an ongoing research collaboration between Lilly and Ligand, but, in 2006, Lilly discontinued the development program.

Naveglitazar [LY519818; benzenepropanoic acid, alpha-methoxy-4-[3-(4-phenoxyphenoxy)propoxy], (alpha-S)-] is a nonthiozolidinedione peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha-gamma dual, gamma-dominant agonist that has shown glucose-lowering potential in animal models and in the clinic.

Studies have been conducted to characterize the disposition, metabolism, and excretion of naveglitazar in mice, rats, and monkeys after oral and/or i.v. bolus administration.

To an anhydrous THF (80 mL) solution of n-butyl lithium (46 mL of 2.5 M, 115 mmol) at 0° C. was added dropwise diisopropylamine (11.13 g, 115 mmol) and the solution stirred for 10 minutes. Keeping the solution at 0° C., acetic acid (2.64 g, 44 mmol) was added dropwise and the mixture stirred for 10 min and it was then heated 50° C. After 30 min a heavy precipitate had formed and the solution was allowed to cool. A solution of 4,4′-diflurobenzophenone (9.6 g, 0.044 mol) in THF (50 mL, anhydrous) was added at 0° C., and the solution stirred at room temperature overnight. Water (100 mL) and diethyl ether (100 mL) were added and the aqueous layer was separated and acidified with 1M HCl to pH 3. The organics were extracted with ethyl acetate (3×200 mL) followed by drying over MgSO4. Filtration and removal of the solvent in vacuo yielded a crude white solid that could be washed with cold CHCl3 to remove trace amounts of the benzophenone. The solid was dried under high vacuum yielding 5.63 g (20.2 mmol, 46% yield) of compound A as a white solid.

A recent paper from workers at GSK describes improvements to the synthesis of Denagliptin (12). The final chemical step is Boc deprotection of (11) with p-toluenesulphonic acid (p-TSA) in isopropanol (IPA).   Some isolated batches of final product contained impurities 12A (~1%), 12B (~1%), and 12C (~0.3%). Investigation showed that these three impurities were not produced during the reaction but were produced in the dryer if there was any excess p-TSA in the filter cake during drying. These impurities could be avoided by washing the filter cake with 2 volumes of IPA prior to drying.

Denagliptin Tosylate (1)

To a mixture of 11 (110 kg, 232 mmol) in isopropanol (550 L, 5 vol) at 70 °C was added a solution of p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (88.4 kg, 464 mol) in isopropanol (550 L, 5 vol) over one hour while maintaining the temperature at 70 °C. After the addition, the reaction was stirred at 70 °C for 6 h. The batch was cooled to 20 °C, held for 30 min, filtered, and washed with isopropanol (2 × 220 L, 2 vol). The solids were dried at 55 °C to give 118 kg (89%) of 1 as a white solid.
Recrystallization of Denagliptin Tosylate (1)

A mixture of denagliptin tosylate (100 kg, 183 mol) and isopropanol (500 L, 5 vol) and water (500 L, 5 vol), was heated until all the solids dissolved (approximately 72 °C). The hot solution was filtered into another vessel. The solution was cooled to approximately 5 °C, and water (300 L, 3 vol) was added. The reaction was stirred at this temperature for 30 min and was filtered. The filtercake was washed with filtered isopropanol (2 × 200 L, 2 × 2 vol), and pulled dry. The solids were dried at 55 °C to give 91.9 kg (92%) of 1 as a white solid.

EXAMPLE 1Preparation of (2S,4S)-4-fluoro-1-[4-fluoro-β-(4-fluorophenyl)-L-phenylalanyl]-2-pyrrolidinecarbonitrile p-toluenesulfonic acid salt, Form 1a) Preparation of (4S)-1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-fluoro-L-prolinamide

A reactor was charged with (4S)-1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-fluoro-L-proline (130 g, 1 wt, 1 eq.), dichloromethane (520 mL, 4 vol), pyridine (55 mL, 0.4 vol, 1.2 eq), and Boc-anhydride (145 g, 1.1 wt, 1.2 eq.). The reaction solution was stirred at approximately 20° C. for 2 hours. The reactor was charged with ammonium bicarbonate (62 g, 0.5 wt, 1.44 eq), and was stirred at approximately 20° C. overnight. The reaction was filtered over a bed of celite (130 g, 1 wt), and the filter cake was washed with dichloromethane (260 mL, 2 vol). The filtrate was concentrated to a volume of 3 volumes, heptane (520 mL, 4 vol) was added, and again concentrated to a final volume of 3 volumes. Heptane (390 mL, 3 vol) was added, and the reaction was cooled to approx. 5° C. for 30 min.

The solid was collected by filtration, washed with heptane (260 mL, 2 vol), and then dried under vacuum at approximately 50° C. to constant weight. Yield: 88-90%.

b) Preparation of (2S,4S)-4-fluoropyrrolidine-2-carbonitrile para-toluenesulfonic acid

The reactor was charged with (4S)-1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-fluoro-L-prolinamide (116 g, 1 wt, 1 eq.), isopropyl acetate (578 mL, 5 vol), and pyridine (88 mL, 0.8 vol, 2.2 eq). The resulting slurry was stirred at approx. 20° C. Trifluoroacetic anhydride (77 mL, 1.0 wt, 1.1 eq.) was added over at least 30 minutes, maintaining the temperature at approx. 20° C. The reaction solution was stirred an additonal 1 hour at approx. 20° C. Water (578 mL, 5 vol) was added slowly, and the reaction mixture was stirred for 15 minutes. The stirring was stopped, the layers were allowed to separate, and the aqueous (lower) layer was discarded. The organic layer was concentrated under vacuum at a jacket temperature of approximately 50° C. to half volume. The reaction was diluted back up to 5 volumes with isopropyl acetate. The reactor contents were cooled to 20° C., and the reactor was charged with p-toluenesulfonic acid (94 g, 0.8 wt, 1 eq). The reaction was stirred for 2 hours, and GC analysis at this point should show complete consumption of (4S)-1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-fluoro-L-prolinamide.

The title compound(zifaxaban 2, C20H16ClN3O4 S, Mr = 429.87) was synthesized and its crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Zifaxaban crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21 with a = 5.7900(12), b = 13.086(3), c = 12.889(3) A, β = 100.86(3)°, V = 959.1(3) A3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.489 g/cm3, F(000) = 444, μ = 0.342 mm-1, the final R = 0.0320 and wR = 0.0640 for 2717 observed reflections(I > 2σ(I)).

The absolute configuration of the stereogenic center in the title compound was confirmed to be S by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Four existing intermolecular hydrogen bonds help to stabilize the lattice and the molecule in the lattice to adopt an L-shape conformation.

Zifaxaban was slightly more active than rivaroxaban 1 in in vitro assay against human FXa and therefore is promising as a drug candidate.

zifaxaban (first disclosed in CN102464658), useful for treating thromboembolic disorders. Zifaxaban, a factor Xa antagonist, is being developed by Tianjin Institute of Pharmaceutical Research, for treating deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism (preclinical, as of November 2014). In May 2014, an IND was filed in China. In June 2014, the institute was seeking to outlicense this product.

In vivo within the cardiovascular, blood coagulation or blood analysis some have formed out of the process of forming a solid mass with the aggregation, called thrombosis, the formation of a solid mass called a thrombus blocks. Thrombosis is an abnormal flow of blood coagulation status due to platelet activation and coagulation factors are activated in accordance therewith.

The blood coagulation was originally a protective mechanism of the organism, there is a mutual antagonism in blood coagulation system and the anti-clotting system. Under physiological conditions, blood clotting factors continue to be activated to produce thrombin, fibrin formation trace, calm on the vascular endothelium, but these traces of fibrin and constantly being activated fibrinolytic system dissolution, while being activated coagulation factors are constantly mononuclear phagocyte system swallowed. The dynamics of the coagulation system and fibrinolysis system, which ensures the blood coagulation potential can also always ensure that the fluid state of the blood.

 Sometimes, however, in certain factors can promote the coagulation process, breaking the above dynamic balance triggered the coagulation process, the blood can form a thrombosis or embolism, such as leading to myocardial infarction, stroke, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism and other thromboembolic disease.

Thromboembolic disease is cardiovascular disease against the most serious diseases, is the first killer of human health. In China, with the improvement and increased aging of the population’s living standards, the incidence of such diseases, mortality, morbidity is increasing every year.

The existing anti-thromboembolic diseases into anti-platelet drugs, anticoagulants and fibrinolytic drugs. Among them, the anti-clotting drugs are the main contents of antithrombotic therapy, mainly thrombin inhibitors and vitamin K antagonists. Heparin and low molecular weight heparin, represented by the presence of oral thrombin inhibitor invalid, non-selective inhibition and high risk of bleeding and other shortcomings. Although warfarin is representative of vitamin K antagonists can be administered orally, but there are narrow therapeutic index, high risk of bleeding and other shortcomings.

Studies have shown that the coagulation process is usually divided into intrinsic coagulation pathway and the extrinsic coagulation pathway. Coagulation process involves a lot of coagulation factors, coagulation factor activated are each the next inactive clotting factor precursor is converted into the activated form. Endogenous, exogenous pathway final summary, the blood coagulation factor X is converted to Xa.

Therefore, theoretically, the direct inhibition of ¾ factor activity should produce effective anti-clotting effect, without the side effects of thrombin inhibitors with. As direct inhibition) (a factor activity on normal hemostasis reaction / adjustment process produces minimal impact. For example, platelets remain low catalytic activity of thrombin on the ability to respond to, and thus does not affect the formation of platelet thrombi, so bleeding integrated minimize the risk of the levy.

  research also proved this point. Recently reported a variety of compounds can selectively inhibit efficient Xa, which play a preventive and / or treatment of thromboembolic disease effect (W003000256A1; CN00818966; US2007259913A1; US2007259913A1). Among them, rivaroxaban (Rivaroxaban) was listed in 2008 for hip or knee replacement surgery prophylaxis and treatment of venous thrombosis, with oral, fixed dose and other advantages.

  rivaroxaban drawback is the high price of raw materials, low yield preparation, purification of the product is difficult, high production costs. Patent CN00818966 8 reported rivaroxaban synthetic routes as follows:

 Torcetrapib.png

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]

 09008-cover-cetrapib
 Dec. 2, 2006, was a day drugmakers won’t soon forget. On that day, Pfizer, the world’s biggest drug company, faced devastating news: Its highest profile drug candidate, the cholesterol-targeted molecule torcetrapib, had increased the risk of death in a 15,000-patient clinical trial. In light of the data, Pfizer promptly pulled the plug on the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor that already had cost more than $800 million to develop. The torcetrapib news rocked the cardiovascular research field and left Pfizer without a potential new medication to supplement the blockbuster cholesterol drug Lipitor (atorvastatin), which was careening toward the patent cliff.

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%.
