The drug maker is seeing great signs in the development of treatment for multiple myeloma, a bone marrow cancer. The results from its Phase 3 of Kyprolis’ clinical trial shows that patients can live almost nine months longer without worsening symptoms. According to Amgen, about 70,000 people in the U.S. are living with the disease and 24,000 new cases are diagnosed every year. With the good clinical trial result, Amgen plans to begin regulatory submissions around the world next year. Dr. Pablo Cagnoni, president of Amgen’s subsidiary Onyx Pharmaceuticals said, “The results demonstrate that Kyprolis can significantly extend the time patients live without their disease progressing. The ability of novel therapies to produce deep and durable responses may, one day, transform this uniformly fatal disease to one that is chronic and manageable.” Male patients over the age of 65 have the highest risk of developing it.

Europe to boost cooperation with international partners on generics
European system to be used as model to facilitate assessment of medicines
The European Union’s decentralised procedure is being used as a model to accelerate the assessment of applications for generic medicines as part of theInternational Generic Drug Regulators Pilot
(IGDRP).
The European Union (EU) is leading an international pilot project through which, upon request from a generic pharmaceutical company, it will share the assessment reports generated as part of the decentralised procedure in real time with collaborating regulatory agencies outside the EU.
By offering to share its assessment reports, the EU aims to reinforce collaboration and information-sharing between regulatory authorities across the world, contributing to facilitating and strengthening the scientific assessment process for medicines. This should enable medicines to be authorised in different territories in a coordinated way at approximately the same time.

Analysis of African plant reveals possible treatment for aging brain
Salk scientists find that a plant used for centuries by healers of São Tomé e Príncipe holds lessons for modern medicine
August 01, 2014
LA JOLLA—For hundreds of years, healers in São Tomé e Príncipe—an island off the western coast of Africa—have prescribed cata-manginga leaves and bark to their patients. These pickings from the Voacanga africana tree are said to decrease inflammation and ease the symptoms of mental disorders.
Now, scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have discovered that the power of the plant isn’t just folklore: a compound isolated from Voacanga africana protects cells from altered molecular pathways linked to Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and the neurodegeneration that often follows a stroke.
“What this provides us with is a source of potential new drug targets,” says senior author Pamela Maher, a senior staff scientist in Salk’s Cellular Neurobiology Laboratory. The results were published this week in the…

Example 1Synthesis of Compound 3
A mixture of 4-ethoxycarbonylphenyl boronic acid (23.11 g, 119 mmol), 2,4-dichloropyrimidine (16.90 g, 113 mmol), toluene (230 mL) and aqueous sodium carbonate (2 M, 56 mL) was stirred vigorously and nitrogen was bubbled through the suspension for 15 minutes. Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium[0] (2.61 g, 2.26 mmol) was added. Nitrogen was bubbled through for another 10 min., the mixture was heated to 100° C., then at 75° C. overnight. The mixture was cooled, diluted with ethyl acetate (200 mL), water (100 mL) was added and the layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (100 ml) and the two organic extracts were combined. The organics were washed with brine, filtered through sodium sulfate, concentrated, and the resultant solid was triturated with methanol (100 mL) and filtered. The solids were washed with methanol (2×30 mL) and air dried. This material was dissolved in acetonitrile (150 mL) and dichloromethane (200 mL), stirred with MP.TMT Pd-scavenging resin (Agronaut part number 800471) (7.5 g) over 2 days. The solution was filtered, the solids were washed with dichloromethane (2×100 mL), and the filtrate concentrated to give ethyl 4-(2-chloropyrimidin-4-yl)benzoate as an off-white solid (17.73 g, 60%)—additional washing with dichloromethane yielded a further 1.38 g and 0.5 g of product. 1H NMR (300 MHz, d6-DMSO) δ 8.89 (1H, d, J=5.0 Hz); 8.32 (2H, d, J=8.7 Hz); 8.22 (1H, d, J=5.5 Hz); 8.12 (2H, d, J=8.7 Hz); 4.35 (2H, q, J=7.1 Hz); 1.34 (3H, t, J=7.1 Hz); LC-ESI-MS (method B): rt 7.3 min.; m/z 263.0/265.0 [M+H]+.
A mixture of ethyl 4-(2-chloropyrimidin-4-yl)benzoate (26.15 g, 99.7 mmol) and 4-morpholinoaniline (23.10 g, 129.6 mmol) was suspended in 1,4-dioxane (250 mL). p-Toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (17.07 g, 89.73 mmol) was added. The mixture was heated at reflux for 40 h., cooled to ambient temperature, concentrated then the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and 1:1 saturated sodium bicarbonate/water (1 L total). The organic phase was washed with water (2×100 mL) and concentrated. The aqueous phase was extracted with dichloromethane (3×200 mL). The material which precipitated during this workup was collected by filtration and set aside. The liquid organics were combined, concentrated, triturated with methanol (200 mL) and filtered to yield additional yellow solid. The solids were combined, suspended in methanol (500 mL), allowed to stand overnight then sonicated and filtered. The solids were washed with methanol (2×50 mL) to give, after drying, ethyl 4-(2-(4-morphonlinophenylamino)pyrimidin-4-yl)benzoate (35.39 g, 88%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, d6-DMSO) δ 9.49 (1H, s); 8.54 (1H, d, J=5.0 Hz); 8.27 (2H, d, J=8.7 Hz); 8.10 (2H, d, J=8.7 Hz), 7.66 (2H, d, J=9.1 Hz); 7.38 (1H, d, J=5.0 Hz); 6.93 (2H, d, J=8.7 Hz); 4.35 (2H, q, J=6.9 Hz), 3.73 (4H, m); 3.04 (4H, m); 1.34 (3H, t, J=6.9 Hz); LC-ESI-MS (method B): rt 7.5 min.; m/z 404.1 [M+H].
A solution of ethyl 4-(2-(4-morpholinophenylamino)pyrimidin-4-yl)benzoate (35.39 g, 87.6 mmol) in 3:1 methanol/tetrahydrofuran (350 mL) was treated with lithium hydroxide (4.41 g, 183.9 mmol) in water (90 mL). The mixture was heated at reflux for 2 h., cooled, concentrated and acidified with hydrochloric acid (2M, 92.5 mL, 185 mmol). The dark precipitate was filtered, washed with water, and dried under vacuum. The solid was ground to a powder with a mortar and pestle, triturated with methanol (500 mL) then filtered again to yield 4-(2-(4-morpholinophenylamino)pyrimidin-4-yl)benzoic acid as a muddy solid. This material was washed with ether, air dried overnight, and ground to a fine powder with mortar and pestle. On the basis of mass recovery (34.49 g) the yield was assumed to be quantitative. 1H NMR (300 MHz, d6-DMSO) δ 9.47 (1H, s); 8.53 (1H, d, J=5.2 Hz); 8.24 (2H, d, J=8.5 Hz); 8.08 (2H, d, J=8.8 Hz), 7.66 (2H, d, J=9.1 Hz); 7.37 (1H, d, J=5.2 Hz); 6.93 (2H, d, J=9.1 Hz); 3.73 (4H, m); 3.04 (4H, m).

To a suspension of 4-(2-(4-morpholinophenylamino)pyrimidin-4-yl)benzoic acid (theoretically 32.59 g, 86.6 mmol) in DMF (400 mL) was added triethylamine (72.4 mL, 519.6 mmol, 6 eq.) The mixture was sonicated to ensure dissolution. Aminoacetonitrile hydrochloride (16.02 g, 173.2 mmol) was added followed by N-hydroxybenzotriazole (anhydrous, 14.04 g, 103.8 mmol) and 1-ethyl-3-(dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (19.92 g, 103.8 mmol). The suspension was stirred vigorously overnight. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, the residue was diluted with 5% sodium bicarbonate (400 mL) and water (300 mL), giving a yellow solid, which was broken up and filtered. The solids were washed several times with 100 mL portions of water, triturated with hot methanol/dichloromethane (500 mL, 1:1), concentrated to a volume of approximately 300 mL), cooled and filtered. The solids were washed with cold methanol (3×100 mL), ether (200 mL) and hexane (200 mL) prior to drying to afford

Abstract
Somatic mutations in Janus kinase 2 (JAK2), including JAK2V617F, result in dysregulated JAK-signal transducer and activator transcription (STAT) signaling, which is implicated in myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) pathogenesis. CYT387 is an ATP-competitive small molecule that potently inhibits JAK1 / JAK2 kinases ( IC (50) = 11 and 18 nM, respectively), with significantly less activity against other kinases, including JAK3 (IC (50) = 155 nM). CYT387 inhibits growth of Ba / F3-JAK2V617F and human erythroleukemia (HEL) cells ( IC (50) approximately 1500 nM) or Ba / F3-MPLW515L cells (IC (50) = 200 nM), but has considerably less activity against BCR-ABL harboring K562 cells (IC = 58 000 nM). Cell lines harboring mutated JAK2 alleles (CHRF-288-11 or Ba / F3-TEL-JAK2) were inhibited more potently than the corresponding pair harboring mutated JAK3 alleles (CMK or Ba / F3-TEL-JAK3), and STAT-5 phosphorylation was inhibited in HEL cells with an IC (50) = 400 nM. …

Abstract
Janus kinases (JAKs) are involved in various signalling pathways exploited by malignant cells. In multiple myeloma (MM), the interleukin-6 / JAK / signal transducers and activators of transcription (IL-6 / JAK / STAT) pathway has been the focus of research for a number of years and IL-6 has an established role in MM drug resistance. JAKs therefore make a rational drug target for anti-MM therapy. CYT387 is a novel, orally bioavailable JAK1 / 2 inhibitor, which has recently been described. This preclinical evaluation of CYT387 for treatment of MM demonstrated that CYT387 was able to prevent IL-6-induced phosphorylation of STAT3 and greatly decrease IL-6- and insulin-like growth factor-1-induced phosphorylation of AKT and extracellular signal-regulated kinase in human myeloma cell lines (HMCL). CYT387 inhibited MM proliferation in a time- and dose-dependent manner in 6/8 HMCL, and this was not abrogated by the addition of exogenous IL-6 (3/3 HMCL). Cell cycling was inhibited with a G (2) / M accumulation of cells, and apoptosis was induced by CYT387 in all HMCL tested (3/3). CYT387 synergised in killing HMCL when used in combination with the conventional anti-MM therapies melphalan and bortezomib. Importantly, WAS Also apoptosis induced in Primary Patient MM cells (N = 6) with CYT387 as a single agent, and synergy WAS Seen Again when Combined with Conventional therapies.

Despite the hematologic responses and reduction of the JAK2 (V617F) allele burden, JAK2 (V617F) cells persisted and MPN recurred upon cessation of treatment, suggesting that JAK2 inhibitors may be unable to eliminate JAK2 (V617F) cells, consistent with preliminary results from clinical trials of JAK2 inhibitors in myelofibrosis. While the clinical benefit of JAK2 inhibitors may be substantial, not the least due to reduction of inflammatory cytokines and symptomatic improvement, our data add to increasing evidence that kinase inhibitor monotherapy of malignant disease is not curative, suggesting a need for drug combinations to optimally target the malignant cells.
JAKs are kinases which phosphorylate a group of proteins called Signal Transduction and Activators of Transcription or STATs. When phosphorylated, STATs dimerize, translocate to the nucleus and activate expression of genes which lead to, amongst other things, cellular proliferation.
The central role played by the JAK family of protein tyrosine kinases in the cytokine dependent regulation of both proliferation and end function of several important cell types indicates that agents capable of inhibiting the JAK kinases are useful in the prevention and chemotherapeutic treatment of disease states dependent on these enzymes. Potent and specific inhibitors of each of the currently known four JAK family members will provide a means of inhibiting the action of the cytokines that drive immunological and inflammatory diseases.
Myeloproliferative disorders (MPD) include, among others, polycythemia vera (PV), primary myelofibrosis, thrombocythemia, essential thrombocythemia (ET), idiopathic myelofibrosis (IMF), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), systemic mastocystosis (SM), chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL), myelodisplastic syndrome (MDS) and systemic mast cell disease (SMCD). JAK2 is a member of the JAK family of kinases in which a specific mutation (JAK2V617F) has been found in 99% of polycythemia vera (PV) patients and 50% of essential thrombocytopenia (ET) and idiopathic myelofibrosis (MF). This mutation is thought to activate JAK2, giving weight to the proposition that a JAK2 inhibitor will be useful in treating these types of diseases.
Asthma is a complex disorder characterized by local and systemic allergic inflammation and reversible airway obstruction. Asthma symptoms, especially shortness of breath, are a consequence to airway obstruction, and death is almost invariably due to asphyxiation. Airway Hyper Responsiveness (AHR), and mucus hyper secretion by goblet cells are two of the principle causes of airway obstruction in asthma patients. Intriguingly recent work in animal experimental models of asthma has underscored the importance of IL-13 as a key player in the pathology of asthma. Using a specific IL-13 blocker, it has been demonstrated that IL-13 acts independently of IL-4 and may be capable of inducing the entire allergic asthma phenotype, without the induction of IgE (i.e. in a non-atopic fashion). This and other models have pointed to an important second tier mechanism for elicitating the pathophysiology of asthma, that is not dependent on the production of IgE by resident B-cells or the presence of eonisophils. A direct induction of AHR by IL-13, represents an important process that is likely to be an excellent target for intervention by new therapies. A contemplated effect of a JAK2 inhibitor to the lungs would result in the suppression of the local release of IL-13 mediated IgE production, and therefore reduction in histaminine release by mast cells and eosinophils. This and other consequences of the absence of IL-13 indicate that many of the effects of asthma may be alleviated through administration of a JAK2 inhibitor to the lungs.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a term which refers to a large group of lung diseases which can interfere with normal breathing. Current clinical guidelines define COPD as a disease state characterized by airflow limitation which is not fully reversible. The airflow limitation is usually both progressive and associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs to noxious particles and gases, particularly cigarette smoke and pollution. Several studies have pointed to an association between increased production of IL-13 and COPD, lending support to the proposition that the potential alleviation of asthma symptoms by use of a JAK2 inhibitor, may also be achieved in COPD. COPD patients have a variety of symptoms including cough, shortness of breath, and excessive production of sputum. COPD includes several clinical respiratory syndromes including chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
Chronic bronchitis is a long standing inflammation of the bronchi which causes increased production of mucus and other changes. The patient’s symptoms are cough and expectoration of sputum. Chronic bronchitis can lead to more frequent and severe respiratory infections, narrowing and plugging of the bronchi, difficult breathing and disability.
Emphysema is a chronic lung disease which affects the alveoli and/or the ends of the smallest bronchi. The lung loses its elasticity and therefore these areas of the lungs become enlarged. These enlarged areas trap stale air and do not effectively exchange it with fresh air. This results in difficult breathing and may result in insufficient oxygen being delivered to the blood. The predominant symptom in patients with emphysema is shortness of breath.
Additionally, there is evidence of STAT activation in malignant tumors, among them lung, breast, colon, ovarian, prostate and liver cancer, as well as Hodgkins lymphoma, multiple myeloma and hepatocellular carcinoma. Chromosomal translocations involving JAK2 fusions to Tel, Bcr and PCM1 have been described in a number of hematopoietic malignancies including chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL), myelodisplastic syndrome (MDS), myeloproliferative disease (MPD) and acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). This suggests treatment of hyperproliferative disorders such as cancers including multiple myeloma; prostate, breast and lung cancer; Hodgkin’s Lymphoma; CML; AML; CEL; MDS; ALL; B-cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia; metastatic melanoma; glioma; and hepatoma, by JAK inhibitors is indicated.
Potent inhibitors of JAK2, in addition to the above, will also be useful in vascular disease such as hypertension, hypertrophy, cardiac ischemia, heart failure (including systolic heart failure and diastolic heart failure), migraine and related cerebrovascular disorders, stroke, Raynaud’s phenomenon, POEMS syndrome, Prinzmetal’s angina, vasculitides, such as Takayasu’s arteritis and Wegener’s granulomatosis, peripheral arterial disease, heart disease and pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a pulmonary vascular disease affecting the pulmonary arterioles resulting in an elevation in pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance but with normal or only mildly elevated left-sided filling pressures. PAH is caused by a constellation of diseases that affect the pulmonary vasculature. PAH can be caused by or associated with collagen vascular disorders such as systemic sclerosis (scleroderma), uncorrected congenital heart disease, liver disease, portal hypertension, HIV infection, Hepatitis C, certain toxins, splenectomy, hereditary hemorrhagic teleangiectasia, and primary genetic abnormalities. In particular, a mutation in the bone morphogenetic protein type 2 receptor (a TGF-b receptor) has been identified as a cause of familial primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH). It is estimated that 6% of cases of PPH are familial, and that the rest are “sporadic.” The incidence of PPH is estimated to be approximately 1 case per 1 million population. Secondary causes of PAH have a much higher incidence. The pathologic signature of PAH is the plexiform lesion of the lung which consists of obliterative endothelial cell proliferation and vascular smooth muscle cell hypertrophy in small precapillary pulmonary arterioles. PAH is a progressive disease associated with a high mortality. Patients with PAH may develop right ventricular (RV) failure. The extent of RV failure predicts outcome. The JAK/STAT pathway has recently been implicated in the pathophysiology of PAH. JAKs are kinases which phosphorylate a group of proteins called Signal Transduction and Activators of Transcription or STATs. When phosphorylated, STATs dimerize, translocate to the nucleus and activate expression of genes which lead to proliferation of endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells, and cause hypertrophy of cardiac myocytes. There are three different isoforms of JAK: JAK1, JAK2, and JAK3. Another protein with high homology to JAKs is designated Tyk2. An emerging body of data has shown that the phosphorylation of STAT3, a substrate for JAK2, is increased in animal models of PAH. In the rat monocrotaline model, there was increased phosphorylation of the promitogenic transcription factor STAT3. In this same study pulmonary arterial endothelial cells (PAECs) treated with monocrotaline developed hyperactivation of STAT3. A promitogenic agent or protein is an agent or protein that induces or contributes to the induction of cellular proliferation. Therefore, one effect of JAK2 inhibition would be to decrease proliferation of endothelial cells or other cells, such as smooth muscle cells. A contemplated effect of a JAK2 inhibitor would be to decrease the proliferation of endothelial cells or other cells which obstruct the pulmonary arteriolar lumen. By decreasing the obstructive proliferation of cells, a JAK2 inhibitor could be an effective treatment of PAH.
Additionally the use of JAK kinase inhibitors for the treatment of viral diseases and metabolic diseases is indicated.
Although the other members of the JAK family are expressed by essentially all tissues, JAK3 expression appears to be limited to hematopoetic cells. This is consistent with its essential role in signalling through the receptors for IL-2, IL4, IL-7, IL-9 and IL-15 by non-covalent association of JAK3 with the gamma chain common to these multichain receptors. Males with X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (XSCID) have defects in the common cytokine receptor gamma chain (gamma c) gene that encodes a shared, essential component of the receptors of interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, and IL-15. An XSCID syndrome in which patients with either mutated or severely reduced levels of JAK3 protein has been identified, suggesting that immunosuppression should result from blocking signalling through the JAK3 pathway. Gene Knock out studies in mice have suggested that JAK3 not only plays a critical role in B and T lymphocyte maturation, but that JAK3 is constitutively required to maintain T cell function. Taken together with the biochemical evidence for the involvement of JAK3 in signalling events downstream of the IL-2 and IL-4 receptor, these human and mouse mutation studies suggest that modulation of immune activity through the inhibition of JAK3 could prove useful in the treatment of T-cell and B-cell proliferative disorders such as transplant rejection and autoimmune diseases. Conversely undesired inhibition of JAK3 could have a devastating effect on the immune status of an individual treated with drug.
Although the inhibition of various types of protein kinases, targeting a range of disease states, is clearly beneficial, it has been to date demonstrated that the identification of a compound which is selective for a protein kinase of interest, and has good “drug like” properties such as high oral bioavailability, is a challenging goal. In addition, it is well established that the predictability of inhibition, or selectivity, in the development of kinase inhibitors is quite low, regardless of the level sequence similarity between the enzymes being targeted.
The challenges in developing therapeutically appropriate JAK2 inhibitors for use in treatment kinase associated diseases such as immunological and inflammatory diseases including organ transplants; hyperproliferative diseases including cancer and myeloproliferative diseases; viral diseases; metabolic diseases; and vascular diseases include designing a compound with appropriate specificity which also has good drug-likeliness.
There is therefore a continuing need to design and/or identify compounds which specifically inhibit the JAK family of kinases, and particularly compounds which may preferentially inhibit one of the JAK kinases relative to the other JAK kinases, particularly JAK2. There is a need for such compounds for the treatment of a range of diseases.

Ginseng fights fatigue in cancer patients, Mayo Clinic-led study finds
15 JUN 2012
ROCHESTER, Minn. — High doses of the herb American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) over two months reduced cancer-related fatigue in patients more effectively than a placebo, a Mayo Clinic-led study found. Sixty percent of patients studied had breast cancer. The findings are being presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology’s annual meeting.
Researchers studied 340 patients who had completed cancer treatment or were being treated for cancer at one of 40 community medical centers. Each day, participants received a placebo or 2,000 milligrams of ginseng administered in capsules containing pure, ground American ginseng root.
“Off-the-shelf ginseng is sometimes processed using ethanol, which can give it estrogen-like properties that may be harmful to breast cancer patients,” says researcher Debra Barton, Ph.D., of the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center.
At four weeks, the pure ginseng provided only a slight improvement in fatigue symptoms. However, at eight weeks, ginseng offered cancer…

Amgen’s Multiple Myeloma Drug Shows Promise in Phase 3 Trial
Carfilzomib
Amgen’s Multiple Myeloma Drug Shows Promise in Phase 3 Trial
https://finance.yahoo.com/video/amgens-multiple-myeloma-drug-shows-195603222.html
Carfilzomib (marketed under the trade name Kyprolis, Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) is an anti-cancer drug acting as a selectiveproteasome inhibitor. Chemically, it is a tetrapeptide epoxyketone and an analog of epoxomicin.[1]
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved it on 20 July 2012 for use in patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least two prior therapies, including treatment with bortezomib and an immunomodulatory therapy and have demonstrated disease progression on or within 60 days of completion of the last therapy. Approval is based on response rate. Clinical benefit, such as improvement in survival or symptoms, has not been verified.[2]
The abbreviation CFZ is common for referring to carfilzomib, but abbreviating drug names is not best practice in medicine.
Discovery, early development and regulatory approval
Carfilzomib is derived from epoxomicin, a natural product that was shown by the laboratory of Craig Crews at Yale University to inhibit the proteasome.[3] The Crews laboratory subsequently invented a more specific derivative of epoxomicin named YU101,[4] which was licensed to Proteolix, Inc. Craig Crews, Raymond Deshaies from Caltech, Phil Whitcome, the former CEO of Neurogen and Larry Lasky, a venture capitalist, founded Proteolix, and along with other researchers and scientists, advanced YU101. The scientists at Proteolix invented a new, distinct compound that had potential use as a drug in humans, known as carfilzomib. Proteolix advanced carfilzomib to multiple Phase 1 and 2 clinical trials, including a pivotal Phase 2 clinical trial designed to seek accelerated approval.[5]Clinical trials for carfilzomib continue under Onyx Pharmaceuticals, which acquired Proteolix in 2009.[5]
In January 2011, the FDA granted carfilzomib fast-track status, allowing Onyx to initiate a rolling submission of its new drug application for carfilzomib.[6] In December 2011, the FDA granted Onyx standard review designation,[7][8] for its new drug application submission based on the 003-A1 study, an open-label, single-arm Phase 2b trial. The trial evaluated 266 heavily-pretreated patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma who had received at least two prior therapies, including bortezomib and either thalidomide or lenalidomide.[9] It costs approximately $10,000 per 28-day cycle, making it the most expensive FDA-approved drug for multiple myeloma.[10]
Mechanism
Carfilzomib irreversibly binds to and inhibits the chymotrypsin-like activity of the 20S proteasome, an enzyme that degrades unwanted cellular proteins. Inhibition of proteasome-mediated proteolysis results in a build-up of polyubiquinated proteins, which may cause cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and inhibition of tumor growth.[1]
Clinical trials
Completed
A single-arm, Phase II trial (003-A1) of carfilzomib in patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma showed that single-agent carfilzomib demonstrated a clinical benefit rate of 36 percent in the 266 patients evaluated and had an overall response rate of 22.9 percent and median duration of response of 7.8 months. The FDA approval of carfilzomib was based on results of the 003-A1 trial.[11]
In a Phase II trial (004), carfilzomib had a 53 percent overall response rate among patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma who had not previously received bortezomib. This study also included a bortezomib-treated cohort. Results were reported separately.[12] This study also found prolonged carfilzomib treatment was tolerable, with approximately 22 percent of patients continuing treatment beyond one year. The 004 trial was a smaller study originally designed to investigate the impact of carfilzomib treatment in relationship to bortezomib treatment in less heavily pretreated (1-3 prior regimens) patients.[13]
A Phase II trial (005), which assessed the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and efficacy of carfilzomib, in patients with multiple myeloma and varyi ng degrees of renal impairment, where nearly 50 percent of patients were refractory to both bortezomib and lenalidomide, demonstrated that pharmacokinetics and safety were not influenced by the degree of baseline renal impairment. Carfilzomib was tolerable and demonstrated efficacy.[14]
In another Phase II trial (006) of patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma, carfilzomib in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone demonstrated an overall response rate of 69 percent.[15]
A Phase II trial (007) for multiple myeloma and solid tumors showed promising results.[16][17]
In Phase II trials of carfilzomib, the most common grade 3 or higher treatment-emergent adverse events were thrombocytopenia, anemia, lymphoenia, neutropenia, pneumonia, fatigue and hyponatremia.[18]
In a frontline Phase I/II study, the combination of carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and low-dose dexamethasone was highly active and well tolerated, permitting the use of full doses for an extended time in newly-diagnosed multiple myeloma patients, with limited need for dose modification. Responses were rapid and improved over time, reaching 100 percent very good partial response.[19]
Ongoing
A phase III confirmatory clinical trial, known as the ASPIRE trial, comparing carfilzomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone versus lenalidomide and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma is ongoing.[20] It is no longer recruiting and should report in 2014.

The initial enthusiasm following the discovery of a pharmacologically active natural product is often fleeting due to the poor prospects for its ultimate clinical application. Despite this, the ever-changing landscape of modern biology has a constant need for molecular probes that can aid in our understanding of biological processes. After its initial discovery by Bristol-Myers Squibb as a microbial anti-tumor natural product, epoxomicin was deemed unfit for development due to its peptide structure and potentially labile epoxyketone pharmacophore. Despite its drawbacks, epoxomicin’s pharmacophore was found to provide unprecedented selectivity for the proteasome. Epoxomicin also served as a scaffold for the generation of a synthetic tetrapeptide epoxyketone with improved activity, YU-101, which became the parent lead compound of carfilzomib (Kyprolis™), the recently approved therapeutic agent for multiple myeloma. In this era of rational drug design and high-throughput screening, the prospects for turning an active natural product into an approved therapy are often slim. However, by understanding the journey that began with the discovery of epoxomicin and ended with the successful use of carfilzomib in the clinic, we may find new insights into the keys for success in natural product-based drug discovery.

Mangafodipir (sold under the brand name Teslascan as mangafodipir trisodium) is a contrast agent delivered intravenously to enhance contrast in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the liver. It has two parts, paramagnetic manganese (II) ions and thechelating agent fodipir (dipyridoxyl diphosphate, DPDP). Normal liver tissue absorbs the manganese more than abnormal or cancerous tissue. The manganese shortens the longitudinal relaxation time (T1), making the normal tissue appear brighter in MRIs. This enhanced contrast allows lesions to be more easily identified.

The condensation of pyridoxal 5-phosphate (I) with ethylenediamine (II) in methanol by means of NaOH gives the corresponding diimine (III), which is reduced with hydrogen over Pt/C in methanol/water yielding the expected diamine (IV). The reaction of (IV) with bromoacetic acid (V) by means of NaOH in methanol/water affords the N,N’-diacetic acid derivative (VI), which is finally treated with MnCl2 in water containing NaOH.

NS-398 is a COX-2 inhibitor used in the study of the function of cyclooxygenases.[2]
Selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor (IC50 values are 3.8 and > 100 μM for COX-2 and COX-1 respectively). Orally active. Anti-inflammatory, anti-pyretic, analgesic and non-ulcerogenic in vivo. Induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest
Cyclooxygenase (COX-2) has been recently suggested to play a role in hepatocarcinogenesis. However, the exact pathway by which COX-2 affects the growth of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is not clear. This study investigated the effects of a specific COX-2 inhibitor, NS-398, on the cell proliferation and apoptosis of COX-2-expressing and non-expressing HCC cell lines.
In addition, the modulatory effect of NS-398 on apoptosis-regulating gene expression was examined. Semi-quantitative/quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and Western blot showed that Hep3B and HKCI-4 cells expressed COX-2 mRNA and protein, but HepG2 cells did not. NS-398 suppressed cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in the two COX-2-expressing cell lines in a dose-dependent manner, but not in HepG2 cells.
Fas ligand mRNA and protein expression were increased by the treatment with NS-398 (10 micro M) in COX-2-expressing cell lines. The expressions of Fas and Bcl-2 family genes (Bax, Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Bcl-xS) were not affected by NS-398 treatment in all three cell lines. In conclusion, specific COX-2 inhibitor suppresses cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in HCC cell lines that express COX-2. Our finding suggests that COX-2 inhibition may offer a new approach for HCC chemoprevention.

The condensation of 2-fluoronitrobenzene (I) with cyclohexanol (II) by means of NaH gives 2-(cyclohexyloxy)nitrobenzene (III), which is reduced with H2 over Pd/C in methanol yielding 2-(cyclohexyloxy)aniline (IV). The acylation of (IV) with methanesulfonyl chloride (V) in pyridine affords N-(2-cyclohexyloxy phenyl)methanesulfonamide (VI), which is finally nitrated with concentrated HNO3 in hot acetic acid.

The cortical collecting duct (CCD) is a major site of intrarenal prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis. This study examines the expression and regulation of the prostaglandin synthesizing enzymes cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and -2 in the CCD. By indirect immunofluorescence using isoform-specific antibodies, COX-1 and -2 immunoreactivity was localized to all cell types of the murine M-1 CCD cell line. By immunohistochemistry, both COX-1 and COX-2 were localized to intercalated cells of the CCD on paraffin-embedded mouse kidney sections. When COX enzyme activity was measured in the M-1 cells, both indomethacin (COX-1 and -2 inhibitor) and the specific COX-2 inhibitor NS-398 effectively blocked PGE2 synthesis. These results demonstrate that COX-2 is the major contributor to the pool of PGE2synthesized by the CCD. By Western blot analysis, COX-2 expression was significantly upregulated by incubation with either indomethacin or NS-398. These drugs did not affect COX-1 protein expression. Evaluation of COX-2 mRNA expression by Northern blot analysis after NS-398 treatment demonstrated that the COX-2 protein upregulation occurred independently of any change in COX-2 mRNA expression. These studies have for the first time localized COX-2 to the CCD and provided evidence that the intercalated cells of the CCD express both COX-1 and COX-2. The results also demonstrate that constitutively expressed COX-2 is the major COX isoform contributing to PGE2synthesis by the M-1 CCD cell line. Inhibition of COX-2 activity in the M-1 cell line results in an upregulation of COX-2 protein expression.

NS398 inhibits the growth of OSCC cells by mechanisms that are dependent and independent of suppression of PGE2 synthesis. Molecular targeting of COX-2, PGE2 synthase, or PGE2 receptors may be useful as a chemopreventive or therapeutic strategy for oral cancer.
