The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) signaling pathway has been linked to the pathophysiology of diabetes and metabolic syndrome. We developed a series of potent and selective 11ï¢-HSD1 inhibitors. These compounds showed excellent potency against both human and mouse 11ï¢-HSD1 enzymes and displayed good pharmacokinetics and ex vivo inhibition of the target in mice.Compounds HSD-016 and HSD-621 were ultimately selected as clinical development candidates. Both compounds have attractive overall pharmaceutical profiles and demonstrated good oral bioavailability in mouse, rat and dog. When orally dosed in C57/BL6 dietï€-induced-ï€obesity (DIO) mice, HSD-016 and HSDï€621 were efficacious and showed a significant reduction in both fed and fasting glucose and insulin levels. Furthermore, both compoundswere well tolerated in drug safety assessment studies.

11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) catalyzes the conversion of inactive glucocorticoid cortisone to its active form, cortisol. The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) signaling pathway has been linked to the pathophysiology of diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Herein, the structure–activity relationship of a series of piperazine sulfonamide-based 11β-HSD1 inhibitors is described. (R)-3,3,3-Trifluoro-2-(5-(((R)-4-(4-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-methylpiperazin-1-yl)sulfonyl)thiophen-2-yl)-2-hydroxypropanamide 18a (HSD-621) was identified as a potent and selective 11β-HSD1 inhibitor and was ultimately selected as a clinical development candidate. HSD-621 has an attractive overall pharmaceutical profile and demonstrates good oral bioavailability in mouse, rat, and dog. When orally dosed in C57/BL6 diet-induced obesity (DIO) mice, HSD-621 was efficacious and showed a significant reduction in both fed and fasting glucose and insulin levels. Furthermore, HSD-621 was well tolerated in drug safety assessment studies.

EXAMPLES The title compounds of Examples 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 were prepared as shown in
Scheme 1 below. Detailed synthesis procedures are provided below.
Scheme 1
Example 1.1
3,3,3-trifluoro-2-r5-({(2R)-4-r4-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyll-2-methylpiperazin- l-yl}sulfonyl)-2-thienyll-2-hvdroxypropanamide Step IA: A mixture of (R)-2-methyl-piperazine (25.0 g, 250 mmol), 2-bromo 5- fluoro benzotrifluoride (55.1 g, 227 mmol), tris(dibenzylidineacetone)dipalldium (0) (2.08g, 2.27 mmol), rac-2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-l,r-binaphthyl (4.24 g, 6.81 mmol) and sodium tert-butoxide (27.3 g, 280 mmol) was mixed and purged with N2. Anhydrous toluene (500 mL) was added and purged with N2 again. The resulting mixture was heated in an oil bath at 105 0C under N2 for 3.5 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture was concentrated and then filtered through a pad of Celite, washed with Et2O. The organic layer was concentrated, diluted with Et2O (500 mL), filtered through a pad of Celite again, and washed with IN aq. HCl (2 x 150 mL). The aqueous layer was basified with NaOH at 0 0C (pH = -10) and then was extracted with Et2O (3 x 200 mL). The combined organic layer was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated under vacuum to give (3i?)-l-[4- fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-3-methylpiperazine as a brown oil (58.5 g, 98%), which was used without further purification.
Step IB: To a solution of 5-bromothiophene-2-sulfonyl chloride (26.2 g, 100 mmol) and (3R)-l-(4-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-3-methylpiperazine (27.6 g, lOOmmol) in DCM (200 ml) was added Et3N (41.8 ml, 300 mmol) at room temp. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature until completion of the reaction (about 6 hours) and then washed with aq. NaHCO3. The basic washes were back extracted with dichloromethane (DCM). The combined organic layers were washed with brine and dried over Na2SO4. The crude product was purified on a SiO2 column using hexanes/DCM as the eluent to give (R)-l-(5-bromothiophen-2-ylsulfonyl)-4-(4-fluoro-2- (trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-methylpiperazine as a white solid (38 g, 78 mmol, 78 % yield).
Step 1C: To a solution of (R)-l-(5-bromothiophen-2-ylsulfonyl)-4-(4-fluoro-2- (trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-methylpiperazine (28.1 g, 57.7 mmol) in anhydrous THF (200 ml) was added Butyllithium (28.8 ml, 57.7 mmol) at -780C. The reaction mixture was Stirred under N2 for 15 min. and then a solution of methyl 3,3,3-trifluoropyruvate (6.07 ml, 57.7 mmol) in THF (20 mL) was added via a cannula. The reaction mixture was stirred at -780C for 2 h. and then quenched with a 10 mL of 10% aq. HCl. The reaction mixture was dried over MgSO4 and CombiFlashed with DCM/hexane (15 – 100%) to provide methyl 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-(5-((R)-4-(4-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2- methylpiperazin-l-ylsulfonyl)thiophen-2-yl)-2-hydroxypropanoate as a sticky, light yellow solid (22 g, 39.0 mmol, 67.6 % yield).
Step ID, Method 1: To a solution of methyl 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-(5-((R)-4-(4-fiuoro- 2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-methylpiperazin-l-ylsulfonyl)thiophen-2-yl)-2- hydroxypropanoate (21.5 g, 38.1 mmol) in MeOH (200 ml) was added aq. NH3 (-28-
30%, 50 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature o/n and then diluted with ice water (700 mL). The resultant white ppt was collected by filtration, washed with water, and dried in an oven at 60 0C to give the desired product 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-(5-((R)- 4-(4-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-methylpiperazin-l-ylsulfonyl)thiophen-2-yl)-2- hydroxypropanamide (15 g, 27.3 mmol, 71.7 % yield). The aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (4 x 100 mL), and the combined organic layers were concentrated. Purification of the concentrate by column chromatography with EA/DCM (0-40%) gave an additional 1.5 g of product.
Method 2: To a solution of methyl 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-(5-((R)-4-(4-fluoro-2-
(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-methylpiperazin-l-ylsulfonyl)thiophen-2-yl)-2- hydroxypropanoate (200 mg) in MeOH (20 ml) at -780C was bubbled NH3 gas. The resultant mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight, concentrated, and dissolved in fresh DCM. The organic layer was washed with aq. NaHCO3 and dried to give 3,3,3- trifluoro-2-(5 -((R)-4-(4-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-methylpiperazin- 1 – ylsulfonyl)thiophen-2-yl)-2-hydroxypropanamide as a white solid (150 mg). It was found that competing hydrolysis of the ester group to the corresponding acid occurred to a greater extent when using Method 1. Thus, in some instances, it may be preferable to use Method 2 when performing step D.

The present invention generally relates to a method of treating resistant rheumatic disease, such as refractory rheumatoid arthritis, with a therapeutically effective amount of a dual action p38 inhibitor that is safe and well-tolerated. A dual action p38 kinase inhibitor is a compound that inhibits both activation of p38 kinase and p38 kinase activity in cells.
A large number of cytokines participate in the inflammatory response, including IL- 1 , IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-a. Overproduction of cytokines such as IL-1 and TNF-a are implicated in a wide variety of diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, endotoxin shock, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and congestive heart failure, among others. See e.g., Henry et al., Drugs Fut. , 24: 1345- 1354 ( 1999); Salituro et al., Curr. Med. Ckem., 6:807-823 (1999)]. Important mediators of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNFct and IL-1 β,. as well as cellular responses to such cytokines production, are the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases, and in particular, p38 kinase. See e.g., Schieven, G.L., “The biology of p38 kinase: a central role in inflammation”, Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry, 5 :921 – 928 (2005). Accordingly, modulation of p38 kinase may be useful in the treatment of inflammatory disease including rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

1. Aminolysis with hexyllithium
To a dried 100 ml flask was added THF (10 ml) under nitrogen, which was then cooled to -100C. Hexyllithium (2.3 M in hexane, 6.5 ml, 15.0 mmol) was added slowly (exothermic, temperature was up to 5°C), followed by dropwise addition of propylamine (1.01 g, 1.4 ml, 17.1 mmol) at such a rate to maintain the temperature below 5°C. The resulting mixture was stirred at O0C for 20 minutes. A suspension of ester compound I (1.0 g, 2.5 mmol) in THF (12 ml) was added over a 10 minute period (exothermic, T<5°C). After being stirred at 00C for 20 minutes, the mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 5 hours. Ester compound I was <0.1 AP at this point by HPLC analysis. The mixture was cooled to -50C. Acetic acid (2 ml) was added slowly to maintain the temperature <10°C. The resulting thick slurry was stirred at room temperature for 20 minutes, and then solvents were exchanged with DMF (15 ml) on a rotavapor. To the resulting yellow slurry, water (15 ml) was added slowly to keep T<25°C. During the addition of water, the slurry became a clear solution, and a new slurry was formed. The slurry was stirred at room temperature for overnight. In the morning the slurry was filtered and the solid was washed with DMF/water (1:1, 5 ml), water (5 ml) and acetone (5 ml). The cake was dried under vacuum at 55°C for 24 hours to afford 0.90 g of amide product II (yield: 87.2%) as a white solid. HPLC: 99.70 AP.
2. Aminolysis with n-butyllithium
To a dried 100 ml of flask was added THF (10 ml) under nitrogen and then cooled to -100C. n-Butyllithium (2.5 M in hexane, 6.0 ml, 15.0 mmol) was added slowly, followed by dropwise addition of propylamine (0.98 g, 16.5 mmol) at such a rate to keep the temperature below 00C. The resulting mixture was stirred at O0C for 20 minutes. A suspension of ester compound I (1.0 g, 2.5 mmol) in THF (12 ml) was added over a 10 minute period (T<5°C). After being stirred at O0C for 30 minutes, the mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for overnight (~22h, Note 1). Compound I was not detected at this point by HPLC analysis. The mixture was cooled to -7°C. Acetic acid (2 ml) was added dropwise to maintain the temperature <10°C. The resulting thick slurry was stirred at 50C for 2 hours and at room temperature for 20 minutes, followed by evaporation on a rotavapor to give a wet yellow solid. To this solid was added acetone (10 ml) and water (20 ml). The slurry was stirred at room temperature for one and half hours. Filtration gave a white solid. This solid was washed with 35% acetone in water (10 ml), water (5 ml) and acetone (5 ml). The cake was dried under vacuum at 55°C for the weekend to afford 0.94g of amide product II (yield: 91.0%) as a white solid. HPLC: 99.76 AP. Note 1: Compound I was -0.056 AP at 2.5 hours.

Discovery of 4-(5-(Cyclopropylcarbamoyl)-2-methylphenylamino)-5-methyl-N-propylpyrrolo[1,2-f][1,2,4]triazine-6-carboxamide (BMS-582949), a clinical p38a MAP kinase inhibitor for the treatment of inflammatory diseases
J Med Chem 2010, 53(18): 6629
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jm100540x
The discovery and characterization of 7k (BMS-582949), a highly selective p38α MAP kinase inhibitor that is currently in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, is described. A key to the discovery was the rational substitution of N-cyclopropyl for N-methoxy in 1a, a previously reported clinical candidate p38α inhibitor. Unlike alkyl and other cycloalkyls, the sp2 character of the cyclopropyl group can confer improved H-bonding characteristics to the directly substituted amide NH. Inhibitor 7k is slightly less active than 1a in the p38α enzymatic assay but displays a superior pharmacokinetic profile and, as such, was more effective in both the acute murine model of inflammation and pseudoestablished rat AA model. The binding mode of 7k with p38α was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis.

EXAMPLE 3
Direct Aminolysis
Ester Compound I
Amide Product II
Method A:
A solution of n-propylamine (6.5 eq) in THF (20 ml/g of ester compound I) was cooled to — 5°C and was slowly treated with 2.5 M solution of n-butyllithium (6.1 eq). The mixture was stirred for 10 minutes. At the end of the period, a slurry of ester compound I (1 eq) in THF (14 ml/g of ester compound I) was cannulated into the performed Li-NHPr solution. The reaction mixture was warmed to 25°C and stirred till all of ester compound I was consumed (~ 3 hours). After the reaction was judged to be completed by HPLC, the reaction mixture was cooled to ~0°C and was slowly treated with acetic acid (5 ml/g of ester compound I). The slurry was then warmed to -2O0C and was stirred for 1 hour. At the end of the period, the solvent was distilled under vacuum to the minimum volume and the concentrated slurry was diluted with a solution of acetone (10 ml/g of ester compound I) and water (20 ml/g of ester compound I). The slurry was stirred for 1 hour and was cooled to ~5°C. The slurry was filtered and the cake was washed with acetone (5 ml/g of ester compound I). The cake was dried to give the amide product II (typically in 85% yield and 99 AP).
Method B:
A solution of n-propylamine (20 eq) in 2,2,2-trifmoroethanol (10 ml/g of ester compound I) was slowly treated with 2.5 M solution of n-butyllithium (1.5 eq). The mixture was stirred for 5 minutes. At the end of the period, the starting material, ester compound I, was added and the reaction mixture was warmed to 900C. The reaction mixture was held at 900C for 24 hours and was allowed to cool to ~20°C. The reaction mixture was then analyzed by HPLC. Typically, analysis indicated there was only 1.57 AP of starting material left.
Method C:
A solution of n-propylamine (2 eq) in methylene chloride (10 ml/g of ester compound I) at 200C was slowly treated with 2.0 M solution of trimethylaluminum (4 eq) in hexanes. The mixture was stirred for 15 minutes. At the end of the period, the starting material, ester compound 1 (1 eq), was added and the reaction mixture was warmed to 600C. The reaction mixture was held at 600C for 24 hours and was allowed to cool to ~20°C. The reaction mixture was then slowly quenched with aqueous HCl solution and analyzed by HPLC. Typically, analysis indicated there was 96.8AP of amide compound II product with 0.03 AP of the dipropylamide impurity.

Japan First to Approve Alectinib for ALK+ NSCLC
Roche announced that the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) has approved alectinib for the treatment of people living with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is anaplastic lymphoma kinase fusion gene-positive (ALK+). The approval was based on results from a Japanese Phase 1/2 clinical study (AF-001JP) for people whose tumors were advanced, recurrent or could not be removed completely through surgery (unresectable).

Alectinib (also known as CH5424802,RO5424802), a second generation oral inhibitor of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), is being developed by Chugai and Roche for the treatment of patients with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has progressed on Xalkori (Crizotinib).
Alectinib was discovered by Chugai Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. Chugai became a subsidiary of Roche in 2002 and the Swiss group currently owns 59.9 percent of the company.
On October 8, 2013, Chugai Pharmaceutical announced that it has filed a new drug application to Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) for alectinib hydrochloride for the treatment of ALK fusion gene positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
IT is a potent and selective ALK inhibitor with IC50 of 1.9 nM.Alterations in the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene have been implicated in human cancers. Among these findings, the fusion gene comprising EML4 and ALK has been identified in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and fusion of ALK to NPM1 has been observed in anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). The possibility of targeting ALK in human cancer was advanced with the launch of crizotinib for NSCLC in the U.S. in 2011. The development of resistance to crizotinib in tumors, however, has led to the need for second-generation ALK inhibitors. One of these, alectinib hydrochloride, has been found to be an orally active, potent and highly selective ALK inhibitor with activity in ALK-driven tumor models. Alectinib has shown preclinical activity against cancers with ALK gene alterations, including NSCLC cells expressing the EML4-ALK fusion and ALCL cells expressing the NPM-ALK fusion. Alectinib was well tolerated and active in a phase I/II study conducted in Japan in patients with ALK-rearranged advanced NSCLC and in patients with ALK-positive NSCLC who had progressed on crizotinib. Alectinib has been submitted for approval in Japan for the treatment of ALK fusion gene-positive NSCLC and is in phase I/II development for ALK-rearranged NSCLC in the U.S.

Rheumatoid arthritis & Ginger
As ageing populations grow, diseases such as Rheumatoid arthritis are becoming more prevelant. With advancing years this disease can lead to massive bone destruction with inflammation and pain. The researchers (Al-Nahain et al) in this recent paper study and review ginger (Zingiber official). This spice has traditionally been used for treatment of Rheumatoid arthritis in many countries like India where Ayurvedic doctore have been using it for many hundreds of years.
This review attempts to list the constituents and mechanisms of action.
The study concludes that phytochemicals from Ginger can form the basis of discovery of new drugs, which not only can provide symptomatic relief but also may provide total relief from diseases like Rheumatoid arthritis inhibiting bone destruction.
Your Own Saliva Better For Wound Healing Than Yunnan Baiyao Alone
There are a few herbal formulas within Chinese Medicine that are worth their weight in gold. Yin qiao and/or Gan Mao Ling for colds/flus, Bao Ji Wan for food poisioning/acute digestive disturbances, and Yunnan Baiyao for acute bleeding, among others… In our clinic many of our patients, particularly those prone to getting cuts and scrapes such as construction workers, landscapers, etc. are aware of Yunnan Baiyao. We usually tell them to first rinse the wound if possible, then pour some of the Yunnan Baiyao powder on the wound and then rub in some saliva, then cover lightly. The bleeding stops quickly and the wound heals easily time and time again. Yunnan Baiyao is a top level Chinese military secret, originally developed for healing gun shot wounds in battle, and there is only one manufacturer.

‘Master switch’ for myelination in human brain stem cells is identified
Scientists at the University at Buffalo have identified the single transcription factor or “master switch” that initiates the critical myelination process in the brain. The research will be published online in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) on June 30.
The identification of this factor, SOX10, in human brain cells, brings researchers closer to the goal of treating multiple sclerosis (MS) by transplanting into patients the brain cells that make myelin.
“Now that we have identified SOX10 as an initiator of myelination, we can work on developing a viral or pharmaceutical approach to inducing it in MS patients,” says Fraser Sim, PhD, senior author on the paper and assistant professor in the UB Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.
“If we could create a small molecule drug that would switch on SOX10, that would be therapeutically important,” he adds.

Eating flavonoids protects men against Parkinson’s disease
07 Apr 2012
Men who eat flavonoid-rich foods such as berries, tea, apples and red wine significantly reduce their risk of developing Parkinson’s disease, according to new research by Harvard University and the University of East Anglia (UEA).
Published today in the journal Neurology ®, the findings add to the growing body of evidence that regular consumption of some flavonoids can have a marked effect on human health. Recent studies have shown that these compounds can offer protection against a wide range of diseases including heart disease, hypertension, some cancers and dementia.
This latest study is the first study in humans to show that flavonoids can protect neurons against diseases of the brain such as Parkinson’s.
Around 130,000 men and women took part in the research. More than 800 had developed Parkinson’s disease within 20 years of follow-up. After a detailed analysis of their diets and adjusting for age and…

Japan scientists find ageing cure – for flowers
Japanese scientists say they have found a way to slow down the ageing process in flowers by up to a half, meaning bouquets could remain fresh for much longer.
Researchers at the National Agriculture and Food Research Organisation in Tsukuba, east of Tokyo, said they had found the gene believed to be responsible for the short shelf-life of flowers in one Japanese variety of morning glory.
“Morning glory” is the popular name for a hundreds of species of flowering plants whose short-lived blooms usually unfold early in the day and are gone by nightfall.
By suppressing the gene—named “EPHEMERAL1″—the lifespan of each flower was almost doubled, said Kenichi Shibuya, one of the lead researchers in a study carried out jointly with Kagoshima University in southern Japan.
“Unmodified flowers started withering 13 hours after they opened, but flowers that had been genetically modified stayed open for 24 hours,” he said.

Edible flowers may inhibit chronic diseases
A new study in the Journal of Food Science, published by the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT), found that common edible flowers in China are rich in phenolics and have excellent antioxidant capacity.
Edible flowers, which have been used in the culinary arts in China for centuries, are receiving renewed interest. Flowers can be used as an essential ingredient in a recipe, provide seasoning to a dish, or simply be used as a garnish. Some of these flowers contain phenolics that have been correlated with anti-inflammatory activity and a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and certain cancers.
The findings of this study show that common edible flowers have the potential to be used as an additive in food to prevent chronic disease, help health promotion and prevent food oxidization. However, the antioxidant mechanisms, the anti-tumor, anti-inflammation and anti-aging activity of the edible flower extracts should be further studied to…

Neuropathic pain
Neuropathic pain is caused when peripheral nerves are damaged by mechanical, metabolic or inflammatory way. The pain occurring images are mainly due to the occurrence of spontaneous pain, hyperalgesia and allodynia (pain is already triggered by non-noxious stimuli) in. As a result, the lesions to increased expression of Na + channels and thus to spontaneous activity in the damaged axons and their Nachbaraxonen (England et al., Neurology, 1996, 47, 272-276).The excitability of the neurons is increased and they react to incoming stimuli with an increased discharge frequency. This results in an increased sensitivity to pain, which contributes to the development of hyperalgesia and spontaneous pain (Baron, Clin J Pain 2000;. 16 (2 Suppl), 12-20). The causes and manifestations, and therefore the treatment needs of neuropathischerm pain are varied. They arise as a result of injury or disease of the brain, spinal cord or peripheral nerves.Causes may be operations, such as phantom pain after amputation, stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, alcohol or drug abuse or other toxins, cancers but also
Metabolic diseases such as diabetes, gout, kidney failure or liver cirrhosis, or infectious diseases such as mononucleosis, ehrlichiosis, typhoid, diphtheria, HIV, syphilis or Lyme disease. The pain experience is very different signs and symptoms that can change over time in number and intensity. Paradoxically, patients with neuropathic pain outline a slowdown or failure of acute pain perception and the simultaneous increase of neuropathic pain. The typical symptoms of neuropathic pain as tingling, burning, shooting or described, or radiating electrifying. Pharmacological basis for treatment of neuropathic pain include tricyclic antidepressants and anticonvulsants, which are used as monotherapy or in combination with opioids. These drugs usually provide only a certain pain relief during a pain-free but is often not achieved. The often-adjusting side effects are dose increases while the drug to achieve adequate pain relief often in the way. In fact, a higher dosage of a μ-opioid is often required as the treatment of acute pain, thereby reducing the side effects get even more important for satisfactory treatment of neuropathic pain. By the occurrence of typical μ-opioid tolerance development and the concomitant need for dose escalation of this problem is exacerbated. In summary it can be stated that neuropathic pain is difficult to treat and today is alleviated by high doses of μ-opioids only partially (Saudi Pharm J. 2002, 10 (3), 73-85). There is therefore an urgent need for medicines for the treatment of chronic pain, the dose should not be increased until the occurrence of intolerable side effects to ensure a satisfactory pain treatment.

4-Dimethylamino-4-phenylcyclohexanone (651 mg, 3 mmoles) and 2-(5-fluoro-1H-indol-3-yl)-ethanol (“5-fluorotryptophol”, 537 mg, 3 mmoles) were initially introduced into abs. MC (20 ml) under argon. Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid trimethylsilyl ester (0.6 ml, 3.1 mmoles) was then added very rapidly. The mixture was stirred at RT for 20 h. For working up, 1 M NaOH (30 ml) was added to the reaction mixture and the mixture was stirred for 30 min. The organic phase was separated, and the aqueous phase which remained was extracted with MC (3×60 ml). The combined organic phases were washed with water (2×30 ml) and dried over sodium sulfate. Methanol (30 ml) was added to the solid residue obtained after the solvent had been distilled off, and the mixture was heated, and stirred for 15 hours. The solid contained in the suspension was filtered off with suction and dried. 955 mg of the more non-polar diastereoisomer of 1,1-(3-dimethylamino-3-phenylpentamethylene)-6-fluoro-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indole were obtained (m.p. 284-292° C.). 850 mg of this were dissolved in hot ethanol (900 ml), and a similarly hot solution of citric acid (1 g, 5.2 mmoles) in ethanol (20 ml) was added. After approx. 15 minutes, crystals precipitated out at the boiling point. After cooling to approx. 5° C., the mixture was left to stand for 2 h. The solid formed was filtered off with suction. 640 mg of the hemicitrate were obtained as a white solid (m.p. 258-282° C.).
Example 25 1,1-(3-Dimethylamino-3-phenylpentamethylene)-6-fluoro-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indole hemicitrate, More Polar diastereoisomer
4-Dimethylamino-4-phenylcyclohexanone (217 mg, 1 mmole) and 2-(5-fluoro-1H-indol-3-yl)-ethanol (“5-fluorotryptophol”, 179 mg, 1 mmole) were dissolved in conc. acetic acid (4 ml). Phosphoric acid (1 ml, 85 wt. %) was slowly added dropwise to this mixture. The mixture was stirred at RT for 16 h. For working up, the mixture was diluted with water (20 ml), brought to pH 11 with 5 M NaOH and extracted with MC (3×20 ml). The combined organic phases were dried with sodium sulfate and evaporated. The residue (364 mg of white solid) was suspended in hot ethanol (20 ml), and a similarly hot solution of citric acid (185 mg, 0.96 mmole) in ethanol (5 ml) was added. The residue thereby dissolved completely and no longer precipitated out even on cooling to approx. 5° C. Ethanol was removed on a rotary evaporator and the hemicitrate of the more polar diastereoisomer of 1,1-(3-dimethylamino-3-phenylpentamethylene)-6-fluoro-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indole was obtained in this way in a yield of 548 mg as a white solid (m.p. 148-155° C.).

(1 r,4r)-6′-fluoro-N,N- dimethyl-4-phenyl-4′,9′-dihydro-3’H-spiro[cyclohexane-1 ,1 ‘-pyrano[3,4-b]indol]-4-amine (free base), has the following structural formula (I):

One particular drug that is of great interest for use in treating cancer pain (and other acute, visceral, neuropathic and chronic pain pain disorders) is (1r,4r)-6′-fluoro-N,N-dimethyl-4-phenyl-4′,9′-dihydro-3′H-spiro[cyclohexane-1,1′-pyrano[3,4b]indol]-4-amine. This drug is depicted below as the compound of formula (I).
The solid forms of (1r,4r)-6′-fluoro-N,N-dimethyl-4-phenyl-4′,9′-dihydro-3′H-spiro[cyclohexane-1,1′-pyrano[3,4b]indol]-4-amine that are known so far are not satisfactory in every respect and there is a demand for advantageous solid forms

In a previous communication, our efforts leading from 1 to the identification of spiro[cyclohexane-dihydropyrano[3,4-b]indole]-amine 2a as analgesic NOP and opioid receptor agonist were disclosed and their favorable in vitro and in vivo pharmacological properties revealed. We herein report our efforts to further optimize lead 2a, toward trans-6′-fluoro-4′,9′-dihydro-N,N-dimethyl-4-phenyl-spiro[cyclohexane-1,1′(3′H)-pyrano[3,4-b]indol]-4-amine (cebranopadol, 3a), which is currently in clinical development for the treatment of severe chronic nociceptive and neuropathic pain.
