WHO publishes New Version of the Draft on “Hold-Time” Studies
WHO publishes New Version of the Draft on “Hold-Time” Studies
The 2nd revision for comment was published already in February this year (we reported). Now, a 3rd version is available – also for comment. The document describes the design of hold-time studies for the determination of time limits which have to be determined according to the generally applicable intermediate and bulk products. This should avoid that the storage of intermediate or bulk products from having any negative influence on their quality or the quality of a finished before processing to the next stage.
Chapter 2 which defines what intermediate and bulk products are has been added. It is now explicitly pointed out that hold-time investigations are part of the process validation. In turn, the reference to retrospective observation has been removed from the current version as well as – fortunately – the incomprehensible paragraph on the ‚most probable /…

How to identify Out-of-Trend Results in Stability Studies?
How to identify Out-of-Trend Results in Stability Studies?
http://www.gmp-compliance.org/enews_4522_How-to-identify-Out-of-Trend-Results-in-Stability-Studies_8360,8348,8430,Z-QCM_n.html
An article in PharmTech from June 2013 (by Trajkovic-Jolevska et. al) deals with the methods to identify Out-of-Trend (OOT) results in ongoing stability studies.
With regard to stability studies, it is important to make the difference between Out-of-Specification (OOS) and Out-of-Trend (OOT). Both the pharmaceutical industry and authorities often misuse these two terms.
The article defines OOT results as those results which don’t follow the expected trend, either in comparison with other stability batches or compared to previous results collected during a stability study. OOT results aren’t necessarily OOS, but they don’t look like a typical data point.
Although OOT results are a serious problem, neither the scientific literature nor regulatory guidelines fully address them.
The aim of the study described in this Pharmtech article by Trajkovic-Jolevska et. al was to perform a statistical evaluation of the statistical methods used in…

Novelcrystalline polymorphic forms of pirenperone, useful for treating disorders associated with T-type calcium ion channels such as pain syndrome, neoplasm, cardiovascular disease or inflammation. VM Discovery, from which VM Therapeutics was spun out, was investigating the VMD-C300 series of compounds which act as T-type calcium channel modulators, including VMD-3816 and VMD-3222, for treating cancer, pain, neurological diseases and cardiovascular diseases; but as of September 2014, this program was assumed to be discontinued. See WO2009108798, (by the inventor, assigned to VM Discovery) claiming use of the same compound for treating same indications.
It was first disclosed in the now-expired US Patent No. 4,342,870 (Claim 5), and intended to be used as potential anti-anxiety drug. However, the early human clinical studies has shown that the compound did not show any dose-related anti-anxiety effects as hoped, but otherwise the compound was safe in human (ref. Ansseau M, Doumo t A, Thlry D, Gelders Y. “Pilot study of a specific serotonergic antagonist, pirenperone, in the treatment of anxiety disorders”, Acta Psychiatr Belg, 1983 Sep-Oct;83(5):517-24). in the US Patent No. 4,342,870, there is no crystalline polymorphic form disclosed, nor disclosure of potential uses for management of pain and treatment of other related diseases or disorders.
It was further disclosed in the PCT patent application WO/2009/108798 as “Compound 10 (pirenperone)‘” to be used for novel T-type calcium ion channel antagonist for management of pain and treatment of other diseases or disorders associated to the T-type calcium ion channels.
Surprisingly, we have found that there are many crystalline polymorphic forms of this compound which may affect the compound’s pharmaceutical safety and pharmacology properties.

Leflunomide (brand names: Arabloc, Arava, Lunava, Repso) is an immunosuppressive disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD),[2] used in active moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. It is a pyrimidine synthesis inhibitor.[3]
Bottle of Leflunomide (Arava) and tablet
Medical use
Rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis are the only indications that have received regulatory approval.[1][4] Clinical studies regarding the following diseases have been conducted:[5]
- Polyoma BK Virus Nephropathy[6]
- Kimura’s disease[7]
- Systemic lupus erythematosus[8]
- Felty’s syndrome [9]
- Takayasu arteritis[10]
- Wegener’s granulomatosis[9]
- Ankylosing spondylitis[11]
- Crohn’s disease[12][13]
- Sarcoidosis[14]
- Uveitis[15]
- Still’s disease[16]
- Prostate cancer[17]
- Pemphigoid[18]
- Prevention of organ transplant rejection[19]
Side effects
Its principle dose-limiting side effects are liver damage, lung disease and immunosuppression.[19] The most common side effects (occurring in >1% of those treated with it) are, in approximately descending order of frequency:[1][4][20][21][22][23][24] diarrhoea, respiratory tract infections, hair loss, high blood pressure, rash, nausea, bronchitis, headache, abdominal pain, abnormal liver function tests, back pain, indigestion, urinary tract infection, dizziness, infection, joint disorder, itchiness, weight loss, loss of appetite, cough, gastroenteritis, pharyngitis, stomatitis, tenosynovitis, vomiting, weakness, allergic reaction, chest pain, dry skin, eczema,paraesthesia, pneumonia, rhinitis, synovitis, cholelithiasis and shortness of breath. Whereas uncommon side effects (occurring in 0.1-1% of those treated with the drug) include:[4] constipation, oral thrush, stomatitis, taste disturbance, thrombocytopenia and hives. Rarely (in 0.1% of those treated with it) it can cause:[4] anaphylaxis, angiooedema, anaemia, agranulocytosis, eosinophilia,leucopenia, pancytopenia, vasculitis, toxic epidermal necrolysis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, cutaneous lupus erythematosus, severe infection, interstitial lung disease, cirrhosis and liver failure.
Contraindications
Contraindications include:[1]
- Pregnancy, women of childbearing potential (unless contraception used)
- Liver disease, hepatitis B/Cseropositive
- Active serious infections
- Hypersensitivity
Interactions
Other immunomodulatory treatments should be avoided due to the potential for additive immunosuppressant effects, or in the case of immunostimulants like echinacea or astragalus, reduced therapeutic effects.[1] Likewise live vaccines (like haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine and yellow fever vaccines) should be avoided due to the potential for severe infection due to the immunosuppressive nature of the treatment.[1]
The concomitant use of methotrexate, in particular, may lead to severe or even fatal liver- or hepatotoxicity. Seventy-five percent of all cases of severe liver damage reported until early 2001 were seen under combined drug therapy leflunomide plus methotrexate.[25]However, some studies have shown that the combination of methotrexate and leflunomide in patients with rheumatoid arthritis gave better results than either drug alone.[25]
Mechanism of action
Leflunomide is an immunomodulatory drug that achieves its effects by inhibiting the mitochondrial enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase(an enzyme involved in de novo pyrimidine synthesis) (abbreviation DHODH), which plays a key role in the de novo (from scratch) synthesis of the uridine monophosphate (rUMP), which is required for the synthesis of DNA and RNA, hence leflunomide inhibits the reproduction of rapidly dividing cells, especially lymphocytes.[19] The inhibition of human DHODH by teriflunomide, the active metabolite of leflunomide, occurs at levels (approximately 600 nM) that are achieved during treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).[26] Teriflunomide also inhibits several tyrosine kinases.[19] Teriflunomide prevents the expansion of activated and autoimmune lymphocytes by interfering with their cell cycle progression while nonlymphoid cells are able to use another pathway to make their ribonucleotides by use of salvage pyrimidine pathway, which makes them less dependent on de novo synthesis.[26] Teriflunomide also has antiviral effects against numerous viruses including CMV, HSV1 and the BK virus, which it achieves by inhibiting viral replication by interfering with nucleocapsid tegumentation and hence virion assembly.[19]
Pharmacokinetics
It has an oral bioavailability of 80%, protein binding of >99%, metabolism sites of the GI mucosa and liver, volume of distribution (Vd) of 0.13 L/kg, elimination half-life of 14-18 days and excretion routes of faeces (48%) and urine (43%).[19][1][20]

Leflunomide is a pyrimidine synthase inhibitor of the DMARD-type (disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug) marketed by Sanofi-Aventis. Unlike NSAIDs, which only deal with symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, DMARDs target the cause of it. DMARDs are not necessarily structurally or mechanistically related. The effect of leflunomide is possibly due to its regulation of the immune system via affecting lymphocytes. Its synthesis [134] is relatively straightforward starting with a Knoevenagel condensation of ethyl acetoacetate (39) and triethyl orthoformate in the presence of acetic anhydride. The resulting ethyl ethoxymethylene acetoacetate (448) is next condensed with hydroxylamine hydrate in methanol to yield ethyl 5-methylisoxazole-4-carboxylate (449). The ethyl ester is hydrolysed under acidic conditions and the carboxylic acid activated with thionyl chloride in DMF for amide formation with 4-trifluoromethylaniline (450) (Scheme 86).

Wild berry extract may strengthen effectiveness of pancreatic cancer drug
Public Release: 17-Sep-2014
The findings prompt the researchers to suggest that adding ‘nutraceuticals’ to chemotherapy cycles may improve the effectiveness of conventional drugs, particularly in hard to treat cancers, such as pancreatic cancer.
They base their findings on the effectiveness of extract of chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) in killing off cancer cells—a process known as apoptosis.
Chokeberry is a wild berry that grows on the eastern side of North America in wetlands and swamp areas. The berry is high in vitamins and antioxidants, including various polyphenols—compounds that are believed to mop up the harmful by-products of normal cell activity.
The researchers chose to study the impact of the extract on pancreatic cancer, because of its persistently dismal prognosis: less than 5% of patients are alive five years after their diagnosis.

Coconut water is an excellent sports drink — for light exercise
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 20, 2012 — Coconut water really does deserve its popular reputation as Mother Nature’s own sports drink, a new scientific analysis of the much-hyped natural beverage concluded here today at the 244th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS).
However, people who engage in strenuous exercise that involves a lot of sweat might want to take it all with a grain of salt ― literally ― or stick with a more traditional sports drink like Gatorade, said Chhandashri Bhattacharya, Ph.D. She presented a report on an analysis of coconut water to the ACS, the world’s largest scientific society, which is meeting here this week.
“Coconut water is a natural drink that has everything your average sports drink has and more,” said Bhattacharya. “It has five times more potassium than Gatorade or Powerade. Whenever you get cramps in your muscles, potassium will help you to get…

Treatment of anxiety and stress disorders [metabotropic glutamate [mGlu] agonist]
Talaglumetad hydrochloride, a prodrug of the type II metabotropic glutamate receptor agonist eglumetad, reached phase III clinical studies for the treatment of anxiety at Lilly.
-
In recent years, with the repeated cloning of glutamate receptor genes, it has become clear that there are surprisingly many subtypes of glutamate receptors. At present, glutamate receptors are broadly classified into two types: the “ionotropic type”, in which the receptor has an ion channel structure, and the “metabotropic type”, in which the receptor is coupled to G-proteins (Science, 258, 597-603, 1992). Ionotropic receptors are classified pharmacologically into three types: N-methyl-D-asparaginic acid (NMDA), α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl isoxazole-4-propionate AMPA), and kynate (Science, 258, 597-603, 1992). Metabotropic receptors are classified into eight types, type 1 through type 8 (J. Neurosci., 13, 1372-1378, 1993; Neuropharmacol., 34, 1-26, 1995).

The metabotropic glutamate receptors are classified pharmacologically into three groups. Of these, group 2 (mGluR2/mGluR3) bind with adenylcyclase, and inhibit the accumulation of the Forskolin stimulation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) (Trends Pharmacol. Sci., 14, 13 (1993)), which suggests that compounds that act on group 2 metabotropic glutamate receptors should be useful for the treatment or prevention of acute and chronic psychiatric and neurological disorders. As a substance that acts on group 2 metabotropic glutamate receptors, (+)-(1S,2S,5R,6S)-2-aminobicyclo[3.1.0]hexane-2,6-dicarboxylic acid has been disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication, No. Hei 8-188561 [1996].

Fluorine atoms tend to be strongly electron-attractive and to confer high fat solubility, and compounds into which fluorine atoms are introduced greatly change their physical properties. Thus introducing fluorine atoms might greatly affect the absorbability, metabolic stability, and pharmacological effects of a compound. But it is by no means easy to introduce fluorine atoms. In fact, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Hei 8-188561 [1996] does not even discuss the introduction of fluorine atoms into (+)-(1S,2S,5R,6S)-2-aminobicyclo[3.1.0]hexane-2,6-dicarboxylic acid.

LY544344 hydrochloride 6 is Talaglumetad
Process development and a pilot-plant process for the synthesis of 4 and its resolution to obtain (1S,2S,5R,6S)-spiro[bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane-2‘,5‘-dioxo-2,4‘-imidazolidine]-6-carboxylic acid, (R)-α-methylbenzenemethanamine salt (5) are described. Starting from the inexpensive raw 2-cyclopenten-1-one and sulfur ylide 1 the racemic bicyclo keto ester 2 was synthesized. Reaction of 2 with potassium cyanide and ammonium carbonate under Bücherer−Berg’s reaction conditions affords racemic 3 in 80% yield. Hydrolysis of 3 followed by the resolution with (R)-(+)-α-methylbenzylamine gave 4 in excellent yield and purity under optimized conditions. The improvement of the original discovery process to accommodate safety and environmental requirements for scale-up in manufacturing facilities is also discussed.
LY544344 hydrochloride 6 is a new chemical entity under investigation by Eli Lilly & Company as a potential treatment of neurological or psychiatric disorders related to the mammalian central nervous system (CNS)

GMP News: If a Facility stores Medicinal Products for more than 36 Hours GDP will apply
Since the EU Good Distribution Practice (GDP) Guide has been revised, a number of questions regarding its interpretation have been raised. One of these questions relates to storage facilities and so called distribution hubs. In the past, many facilities which have been involved in the supply chain were not managed under GDP and didn’t posses a licence for their activities.
The British Medicines Authority MHRA published a press release on 18 August 2014 to explain what they consider to be a facility which must be licensed and which needs to implement the GDP requirements. According to the MHRA: “The GDP Inspectorate is raising awareness of the impact of the new regulations to those parties that are either directly or indirectly affected and any freight consolidator or freight forwarder either in the air, sea or road transport sector…
