Povidone-iodine is a stable chemical complex of polyvinylpyrrolidone (povidone, PVP) and elemental iodine. It contains from 9.0% to 12.0% available iodine, calculated on a dry basis. This unique complex was discovered in 1955 at the Industrial Toxicology Laboratories in Philadelphia by H. A. Shelanski and M. V. Shelanski. During in vitro testing to demonstrate anti-bacterial activity it was found that the complex was less toxic in mice than tincture of iodine. Human clinical trials showed the product to be superior to other iodine formulations. Povidone-iodine was immediately marketed, and has since become the universally preferred iodine antiseptic.
Povidone-iodine (PVP-I), also known as iodopovidone, is an antiseptic used for skin disinfection before and after surgery.[1][2] It may be used both to disinfect the hands of healthcare providers and the skin of the person they are caring for.[2] It may also be used for minor wounds.[2] It may be applied to the skin as a liquid or a powder.[2]
Side effects include skin irritation and sometimes swelling.[1] If used on large wounds, kidney problems, high blood sodium, and metabolic acidosis may occur.[1] It is not recommended in women who are less than 32 weeks pregnant or are taking lithium.[2] Frequent use is not recommended in people with thyroid problems.[2] Povidone-iodine is a chemical complex of povidone, hydrogen iodide, and elemental iodine.[3] It contains 10% Povidone, with total iodine species equaling 10,000 ppm or 1% total titratable iodine.[3] It works by releasing iodine which results in the death of a range of microorganisms.[1]
Povidone-iodine came into commercial use in 1955.[4] It is on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines.[5] Povidone-iodine is available over the counter.[6] It is sold under a number of brand names including Betadine.[2]

Medical uses
Wound area covered in povidone-iodine. Gauze has also been applied.
Povidone-iodine is a broad spectrum antiseptic for topical application in the treatment and prevention of wound infection. It may be used in first aid for minor cuts, burns, abrasions and blisters. Povidone-iodine exhibits longer lasting antiseptic effects than tincture of iodine, due to its slow absorption via soft tissue, making it the choice for longer surgeries. Chlorhexidine provides superior results with equivalent adverse events.[7]
Consequently, PVP-I has found broad application in medicine as a surgical scrub; for pre- and post-operative skin cleansing; for the treatment and prevention of infections in wounds, ulcers, cuts and burns; for the treatment of infections in decubitus ulcers and stasis ulcers; in gynecology for vaginitis associated with candidal, trichomonal or mixed infections. For these purposes PVP-I has been formulated at concentrations of 7.5–10.0% in solution, spray, surgical scrub, ointment, and swab dosage forms; however, use of 10% povidone-iodine though recommended, is infrequently used, as it is poorly accepted by health care workers and is excessively slow to dry.[8][9]
Because of these critical indications, only sterile povidone-iodine should be used in most cases. Non-sterile product can be appropriate in limited circumstances in which people have intact, healthy skin that will not be compromised or cut. The non-sterile form of Povidone iodine has a long history of intrinsic contamination with Burkholderia cepacia (aka Pseudomonas cepacia), and other opportunistic pathogens. Its ability to harbor such microbes further underscores the importance of using sterile products in any clinical setting. Since these bacteria are resistant to povidone iodine, statements that bacteria do not develop resistance to PVP-I,[10] should be regarded with great caution: some bacteria are intrinsically resistant to a range of biocides including povidone-iodine.[11]
Antiseptic activity of PVP-I is because of free iodine (I2) and PVP-I only acts as carrier of I2 to the target cells. Most commonly used 10% PVP-I delivers about 1-3 ppm of I2 in a compound of more than 31,600 ppm of total iodine atoms. All the toxic and staining effects of PVP-I is due to the inactive iodine only.
Eyes
A buffered PVP-I solution of 2.5% concentration can be used for prevention of neonatal conjunctivitis, especially if it is caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or Chlamydia trachomatis. It is currently unclear whether PVP-I is more effective in reducing the number of cases of conjunctivitis in neonates over other methods.[12] PVP-I appears to be very suitable for this purpose because, unlike other substances, it is also efficient against fungi and viruses (including HIV and Herpes simplex).[13]
Pleurodesis
It is used in pleurodesis (fusion of the pleura because of incessant pleural effusions). For this purpose, povidone-iodine is equally effective and safe as talc, and may be preferred because of easy availability and low cost.[14]
Alternatives
There is strong evidence that chlorhexidine and denatured alcohol used to clean skin prior to surgery is better than any formulation of povidone-iodine[7]
Contraindications
PVP-I is contraindicated in people with hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid gland) and other diseases of the thyroid, after treatment with radioiodine, and in people with dermatitis herpetiformis[why?] (Duhring’s disease).[15]
Side effects
The sensitization rate to the product is 0.7%.[16]
Interactions
The iodine in PVP-I reacts with hydrogen peroxide, silver, taurolidine and proteins such as enzymes, rendering them (and itself) ineffective. It also reacts with many mercury compounds, giving the corrosive compound mercury iodide, as well as with many metals, making it unsuitable for disinfecting metal piercings.[15]
Iodine is absorbed into the body to various degrees, depending on application area and condition of the skin. As such, it interacts with diagnostic tests of the thyroid gland such as radioiodine diagnostics, as well as with various diagnostic agents used on the urine and stool, for example Guaiacum resin.[15]
Structure
Structure of povidone-iodine complex.
Povidone-iodine is a chemical complex of the polymer povidone (polyvinylpyrrolidone) and triiodide (I3−).[17]
It is soluble in cold and mild-warm water, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, and glycerol. Its stability in solution is much greater than that of tincture of iodine or Lugol’s solution.
Free iodine, slowly liberated from the povidone-iodine (PVP-I) complex in solution, kills cells through iodination of lipids and oxidation of cytoplasmic and membrane compounds. This agent exhibits a broad range of microbiocidal activity against bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and viruses. Slow release of iodine from the PVP-I complex in solution minimizes iodine toxicity towards mammalian cells.
PVP-I can be loaded into hydrogels, which can be based on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), and gelatin, or on crosslinked polyacrylamide. These hydrogels can be used for wound dressing. The rate of release of the iodine in the PVP-I is heavily dependent on the hydrogel composition: it increases with more CMC/PVA and decreases with more gelatin.
History
PVP-I was discovered in 1955, at the Industrial Toxicology Laboratories in Philadelphia by H. A. Shelanski and M. V. Shelanski.[18] They carried out tests in vitro to demonstrate anti-bacterial activity, and found that the complex was less toxic in mice than tincture of iodine. Human clinical trials showed the product to be superior to other iodine formulations.[19]
Following the discovery of iodine by Bernard Courtois in 1811, it has been broadly used for the prevention and treatment of skin infections, as well as the treatment of wounds. Iodine has been recognized as an effective broad-spectrum bactericide, and is also effective against yeasts, molds, fungi, viruses, and protozoans. Drawbacks to its use in the form of aqueous solutions include irritation at the site of application, toxicity, and the staining of surrounding tissues. These deficiencies were overcome by the discovery and use of PVP-I, in which the iodine is carried in a complexed form and the concentration of free iodine is very low. The product thus serves as an iodophor.
Research

Povidone-iodine has found application in the field of nanomaterials. A wound-healing application has been developed which employs a mat of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) coated in a monolayer of povidone-iodine.[20]
Research has previously found that the polymer polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP, povidone) can coil around individual carbon nanotubes to make them water-soluble.[21]

Pilocarpine is a muscarinic cholinergic agonist used on the eye to treat elevated intraocular pressure, various types of glaucoma, and to induce miosis. Also available orally to treat symptoms of dry mouth associated with Sjogren’s syndrome and radiotherapy.
Pilocarpine is a medication used to reduce pressure inside the eye and treat dry mouth.[1][3] As eye drops it is used to manage angle closure glaucoma until surgery can be performed, ocular hypertension, primary open angle glaucoma, and to bring about constriction of the pupil following its dilation.[1][4][5] However, due to its side effects it is no longer typically used in the long term management.[6] Onset of effects with the drops is typically within an hour and lasts for up to a day.[1] By mouth it is used for dry mouth as a result of Sjögren syndrome or radiation therapy.[7]
Common side effects of the eye drops include irritation of the eye, increased tearing, headache, and blurry vision.[1] Other side effects include allergic reactions and retinal detachment.[1] Use is generally not recommended during pregnancy.[8] Pilocarpine is in the miotics family of medication.[9] It works by activating cholinergic receptors of the muscarinic type which cause the trabecular meshwork to open and the aqueous humor to drain from the eye.[1]
Pilocarpine was isolated in 1874 by Hardy and Gerrard and has been used to treat glaucoma for more than 100 years.[10][11][12] It is on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines.[13] It was originally made from the South American plant Pilocarpus.[10]

Medical uses
Pilocarpine stimulates the secretion of large amounts of saliva and sweat.[14] It is used to prevent or treat dry mouth, particularly in Sjögren syndrome, but also as a side effect of radiation therapy for head and neck cancer.[15]
It may be used to help differentiate Adie syndrome from other causes of unequal pupil size.[16][17][clarification needed]
It may be used to treat a form of dry eye called aqueous deficient dry eye (ADDE)[18]
Surgery
Pilocarpine is sometimes used immediately before certain types of corneal grafts and cataract surgery.[19][20] In ophthalmology, pilocarpine is also used to reduce symptomatic glare at night from lights when the patient has undergone implantation of phakic intraocular lenses; the use of pilocarpine would reduce the size of the pupils, partially relieving these symptoms.[dubious – discuss] The most common concentration for this use is pilocarpine 1%.[citation needed] Pilocarpine is shown to be just as effective as apraclonidine in preventing intraocular pressure spikes after laser trabeculoplasty.[21]
Presbyopia
In 2021, the US Food and Drug Administration approved pilocarpine hydrochloride as an eyedrop treatment for presbyopia, age-related difficulty with near-in vision. Marketed as vuity, the effect lasts for 7 to 10 hours.[22]
Other
Pilocarpine is used to stimulate sweat glands in a sweat test to measure the concentration of chloride and sodium that is excreted in sweat. It is used to diagnose cystic fibrosis.[23]
Adverse effects
Use of pilocarpine may result in a range of adverse effects, most of them related to its non-selective action as a muscarinic receptor agonist. Pilocarpine has been known to cause excessive salivation, sweating, bronchial mucus secretion, bronchospasm, bradycardia, vasodilation, and diarrhea. Eye drops can result in brow ache and chronic use in miosis.
Pharmacology
Pilocarpine is a drug that acts as a muscarinic receptor agonist. It acts on a subtype of muscarinic receptor (M3) found on the iris sphincter muscle, causing the muscle to contract – resulting in pupil constriction (miosis). Pilocarpine also acts on the ciliary muscle and causes it to contract. When the ciliary muscle contracts, it opens the trabecular meshwork through increased tension on the scleral spur. This action facilitates the rate that aqueous humor leaves the eye to decrease intraocular pressure. Paradoxically, when pilocarpine induces this ciliary muscle contraction (known as an accommodative spasm) it causes the eye’s lens to thicken and move forward within the eye. This movement causes the iris (which is located immediately in front of the lens) to also move forward, narrowing the Anterior chamber angle. Narrowing of the anterior chamber angle increases the risk of increased intraocular pressure.[24]
Society and culture
Preparation
Plants in the genus Pilocarpus are the only known sources of pilocarpine, and commercial production is derived entirely from the leaves of Pilocarpus microphyllus (Maranham Jaborandi). This genus grows only in South America, and Pilocarpus microphyllus is native to several states in northern Brazil.[25]
Pilocarpine is extracted from the powdered leaf material in a multi-step process. First the material is treated with ethanol acidified with hydrochloric acid, and the solvents removed under reduced pressure. The resultant aqueous residue is neutralized with ammonia and put aside until the resin has completely settled. It is then filtered and concentrated by sugar solution to a small volume, made alkaline with ammonia, and finally extracted with chloroform. The solvent is removed under reduced pressure.[verification needed]
Cost
Pilocarpine is one of the lowest cost medications for glaucoma.[26]
Trade names
Pilocarpine is available under several trade names such as: Diocarpine (Dioptic), Isopto Carpine (Alcon), Miocarpine (CIBA Vision), Ocusert Pilo-20 and -40 (Alza), Pilopine HS (Alcon), Salagen (MGI Pharma), Scheinpharm Pilocarpine (Schein Pharmaceutical), Timpilo (Merck Frosst) and Vuity (Abbvie).
Research
Pilocarpine is used to induce chronic epilepsy in rodents, commonly rats, as a means to study the disorder’s physiology and to examine different treatments.[27][28] Smaller doses may be used to induce salivation in order to collect samples of saliva, for instance, to obtain information about IgA antibodies.
Veterinary
Pilocarpine is given in moderate doses (about 2 mg) to induce emesis in cats that have ingested foreign plants, foods, or drugs. One feline trial determined it was effective, even though the usual choice of emetic is xylazine.

Firms Team Up To Sustain Natural Pilocarpine
Sustainable harvest is key to a new pharmaceutical chemicals venture
https://cen.acs.org/articles/93/i11/Firms-Team-Sustain-Natural-Pilocarpine.html
Last summer, Andrew Badrot bought a portfolio of plant-sourced pharmaceutical chemicals from Boehringer Ingelheim and acquired BI’s distribution rights for pilocarpine, a plant-derived glaucoma treatment.
For BI, the transactions were small ones. The German drugmaker had been exiting its private-label active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) business, scaling back to produce only the chemicals it uses to manufacture its own drugs.
But for Badrot the deals were potentially big. He leads the company that bought the businesses—Centroflora CMS, a joint venture between the Brazilian botanicals firm Centroflora and CMS Pharma, Badrot’s custom chemicals consultancy. Together, Centroflora and Centroflora CMS are committed to nurturing the natural source of pilocarpine, an alkaloid used medicinally for more than 100 years, and to expanding into other APIs neglected by larger firms.
Pilocarpine’s source, Pilocarpus microphyllus, better known as jaborandi, had been harvested vigorously in the wild by Merck KGaA, which in 1975 built a factory in Parnaíba in northern Brazil to extract pilocarpine. By the mid-1980s, however, jaborandi had been overharvested, and the government declared it a protected species. Merck began obtaining the leaves from a plantation in the northern Brazilian state of Maranhão.
Demand for the drug as a glaucoma treatment began to decline, and Merck eventually closed the plant. When the market for the drug revived with new indications as a dry-mouth remedy, the company saw an opportunity to sell the site and did so in 2002.
The buyer was Centroflora, which was founded in 1957 in São Paulo. The firm was interested in adding pilocarpine to its botanical extracts business, according to its chief executive, Peter Andersen, a native of Brazil whose coffee-trader father bought into Centroflora in 1983. Along with the purchase, Centroflora signed a deal for BI to distribute the drug.
The company wanted to revitalize natural harvesting of jaborandi and began working with the Brazilian government to promulgate sustainable practices in the field. Centroflora also worked closely with a German government agency, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), which promotes sustainable harvesting internationally and had been working in the north of Brazil for decades.
Centroflora’s distribution agreement with BI arose through connections at GIZ, according to Andersen. BI also had been Merck’s biggest customer for pilocarpine.
But ecological sustainability was only half of the problem, Andersen says. Centroflora also found itself dealing with middlemen who would collect the jaborandi from poor family farms in remote areas and pay them next to nothing. Establishing a direct supply channel was not easy.

“I can spend a few days telling you about that process,” he says. “Stories of difficult relationships and difficult moments. But in some cases we managed to hire some of the middlemen to work for us on a salary basis. They made less money, but they had a job.”
Today, farmers in Brazil are paid at least twice what they were paid by intermediaries, Andersen says.
Key to the process was a program Centroflora launched in 2004 called Partnerships for a Better World to train and certify growers, establish community associations to support growers, and maintain sustainable harvesting practices.
Centroflora is the leading supplier of pilocarpine. Its only competitor, Sourcetech, with a plant near São Paulo, accesses jaborandi from the plantation that supplied Merck, now owned by U.S.-based Quercegen.
Pilocarpine accounts for only about 5% of Centroflora’s $95 million in annual sales. The company produces a long list of botanical extracts, including nutritional supplements and herbal medicines such as acai, acerola, coffee powder, and powdered fruit.The company manufactures at four facilities in Brazil, including the former Merck plant, which is dedicated to pilocarpine. But Andersen sees the partnership with CMS as a route to increase phytochemical API manufacturing at that site.
“The facility has the capacity to produce 12 metric tons per year of alkaloids,” Andersen says. It currently makes less than three metric tons. “So there is a lot of space to produce more, and the idea is that we can do some of the APIs we got from Boehringer Ingelheim.”
Those include atropine, digoxin, homatropine, and dihydroergotamine mesylate. Centroflora CMS also obtained distribution rights to BI’s scopolamine N-butyl bromide. All are derived from botanicals harvested on farms around the world.
Badrot was vice president of strategy for Lonza’s exclusive synthesis division before starting CMS in 2010 to consult on manufacturing and mergers and acquisitions in the custom chemicals business. “But for me, the dream was to return to manufacturing APIs,” he says.
The phytochemicals portfolio, including some of the oldest APIs made by BI, for which CMS has done consulting work, seemed like an ideal reentry to manufacturing, according to Badrot. “They are niche products that maybe fly a bit under the radar,” he says. “They seemed to fit us well because we can give them some attention.”
Centroflora CMS’s first order of business, he says, is to establish manufacturing for the BI products, which BI will continue to make until then. Badrot says Centroflora is well suited to manufacture at least the digoxin and atropine, but decisions have not been finalized. The partners will likely use contract manufacturers for some of the products. And Badrot says Centroflora CMS seeks to replicate the kind of deal it has with BI.
“We are looking for other companies with APIs that represent 0–1% of sales, products that lack focus,” he says. “We would take them over.”
Badrot and Andersen say they are also interested in sharing the Partnerships for a Better World program with other companies involved in harvesting natural products. And Centroflora looks for other ways to support its supply chain. Last month, it was approved as a trading member of the Union for Ethical BioTrade, a nonprofit that promotes sustainable development and biodiversity. As a member, Centroflora commits to sustainable sourcing practices and will be required to undergo periodic audits.
Last year, Centroflora received government recognition for its efforts on both the environmental and social fronts. The National Confederation of Industry in Brazil named Centroflora’s jaborandi harvesting program one of the country’s 10 most sustainable business practices. And Banco do Brasil, the national bank, recognized the firm for its work to improve conditions for farmers in the northern forest region of the country.
As the joint venture starts to work with its new portfolio of phytochemicals, both Andersen and Badrot look back at the jaborandi success as the road forward, a template for fostering a plant-based API business that may inspire other companies.
For Andersen, Partnerships for a Better World is an essential foundation of trust for the ecological and socially responsible harvesting of botanicals in Brazil. “There were a lot of problems along the way,” he says. “But we are at peace with it today.”

Loteprednol etabonate was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Mar 9, 1998. It was developed and marketed as Lotemax® by Bausch & Lomb.
Loteprednol etabonate is a corticosteroid used in ophthalmology. It is indicated for the treatment of steroid responsive inflammatory conditions of the palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva, cornea and anterior segment of the globe such as allergic conjunctivitis, acne rosacea, superficial punctate keratitis, herpes zoster keratitis, iritis, cyclitis, selected infective conjunctivitides.
Lotemax® is available as drops for ophthalmic use, containing 0.5% of Loteprednol etabonate. The recommended dose is one to two drops into the conjunctival sac of the affected eyes four times daily.
Loteprednol (as the ester loteprednol etabonate) is a corticosteroid used to treat inflammations of the eye. It is marketed by Bausch and Lomb as Lotemax[1] and Loterex.
It was patented in 1980 and approved for medical use in 1998.[2]
Loteprednol Etabonate is the etabonate salt form of loteprednol, an ophthalmic analog of the corticosteroid prednisolone with anti-inflammatory activity. Loteprednol etabonate exerts its effect by interacting with specific intracellular receptors and subsequently binds to DNA to modify gene expression. This results in an induction of the synthesis of certain anti-inflammatory proteins while inhibiting the synthesis of certain inflammatory mediators. Loteprednol etabonate specifically induces phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins (collectively called lipocortins), which inhibit the release of arachidonic acid, thereby inhibiting the biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation, such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes.
Loteprednol etabonate is an etabonate ester, an 11beta-hydroxy steroid, a steroid ester, an organochlorine compound, a steroid acid ester and a 3-oxo-Delta(1),Delta(4)-steroid. It has a role as an anti-inflammatory drug. It derives from a loteprednol.
Loteprednol Etabonate (LE) is a topical corticoid anti-inflammatory. It is used in ophthalmic solution for the treatment of steroid responsive inflammatory conditions of the eye such as allergic conjunctivitis, uveitis, acne rosacea, superficial punctate keratitis, herpes zoster keratitis, iritis, cyclitis, and selected infective conjunctivitides. As a nasal spray, it can be used for the treatment and management of seasonal allergic rhinitis. Most prescription LE products, however, tend to be indicated for the treatment of post-operative inflammation and pain following ocular surgery. A number of such new formulations that have been approved include Kala Pharmaceutical’s Inveltys – the first twice-daily (BID) ocular corticosteroid approved for this indication, designed specifically to enhance patient compliance and simplified dosing compared to all other similar ocular steroids that are dosed four times daily. Moreover, LE was purposefully engineered to be a ‘soft drug’, one that is designed to be active locally at the site of administration and then rapidly metabolized to inactive components after eliciting its actions at the desired location, thereby subsequently minimizing the chance for adverse effects.

Medical uses
Applications for this drug include the reduction of inflammation after eye surgery,[1] seasonal allergic conjunctivitis, uveitis,[3] as well as chronic forms of keratitis (e.g. adenoviral and Thygeson’s keratitis), vernal keratoconjunctivitis, pingueculitis, and episcleritis.[citation needed]
Contraindications
As corticosteroids are immunosuppressive, loteprednol is contraindicated in patients with viral, fungal or mycobacterial infections of the eye.[1][3][4]
Adverse effects
The most common adverse effects in patients being treated with the gel formulation are anterior chamber inflammation (in 5% of people), eye pain (2%), and foreign body sensation (2%).[5]
Interactions
Because long term use (more than 10 days) can cause increased intraocular pressure, loteprednol may interfere with the treatment of glaucoma. Following ocular administration, the drug is very slowly absorbed into the blood, therefore the blood level is limited to an extremely small concentration, and interactions with drugs taken by mouth or through any route other than topical ophthalmic are very unlikely.[1]
Pharmacology
Mechanism of action
Main article: Glucocorticoid § Mechanism of action
Pharmacokinetics
Neither loteprednol etabonate nor its inactive metabolites Δ1–cortienic acid and Δ1-cortienic acid etabonate are detectable in the bloodstream, even after oral administration. A study with patients receiving loteprednol eye drops over 42 days showed no adrenal suppression, which would be a sign of the drug reaching the bloodstream to a clinically relevant extent.[1]
Steroid receptor affinity was 4.3 times that of dexamethasone in animal studies.[1]
Retrometabolic drug design
Loteprednol etabonate was developed using retrometabolic drug design. It is a so-called soft drug, meaning its structure was designed so that it is predictably metabolised to inactive substances. These metabolites, Δ1-cortienic acid and its etabonate, are derivatives of cortienic acid, itself an inactive metabolite of hydrocortisone.[1][4][6]
- Cortisol, a naturally occurring corticosteroid, known as hydrocortisone when used as a drug
- Δ1-Cortienic acid, inactive metabolite of loteprednol
- Cortienic acid, inactive metabolite of hydrocortisone
Chemistry
Loteprednol etabonate is an ester of loteprednol with etabonate (ethyl carbonate). The pure chemical compound has a melting point between 220.5 °C (428.9 °F) and 223.5 °C (434.3 °F). Its solubility in water is 1:2,000,000,[4] therefore it is formulated for ophthalmic use as either an ointment, a gel, or a suspension.[7]
Loteprednol is a corticosteroid. The ketone side chain of classical corticosteroids such as hydrocortisone is replaced by a cleavable ester, which accounts for the rapid inactivation.[8] (This is not the same as the etabonate ester.)

Regulatory history
ARDS in COVID-19
Studies have found that aviptadil may be beneficial for severely ill patients with COVID-19 related ARDS.[2] ACTIV-3, a trial examining aviptadil acetate (Zyesami), is recruiting patients as of 2 July 2021.[3] A separate trial is examining inhaled aviptadil for patients with high risk for ARDS, is ongoing as of 21 May 2021.[4] A trial for intravenous aviptadil for the same indication concluded in February 2021.[5]
U.S.-Israeli NeuroRx Inc partnered with Relief Therapeutics to develop aviptadil in the United States. In June 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted fast-track designation to aviptadil for treatment of respiratory distress in COVID-19.[6] In September 2020, NeuroRX submitted a request for an Emergency Use Authorization to the US FDA for its use in patients in intensive care.[7] May 2021: NRx Pharmaceuticals Announces Positive Results for ZYESAMI™ (Aviptadil-acetate) and Submits Emergency Use Authorization Application to USFDA to Treat Critical COVID-19 in Patients Suffering from Respiratory Failure.[8]
Jan, 2021: Zuventus healthcare Ltd seeks approval for Aviptadil from India’s drug controller for emergency use in COVID-19 treatment. Mumbai’s Zuventus healthcare Ltd. has got the nod to conduct Phase 3 clinical trials of Aviptadil injectable formulation. The SEC noted that Zuventus had presented revised Phase 3 clinical trial protocol before the committee, and after “detailed deliberation”, it recommended grant of permission of Phase 3 trials with the drug.[9] [10]
Aviptadil/phentolamine combination for Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
October 2000 UK (Invicorp): Aviptadil, an injectable formulation of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) in combination with the adrenergic drug phentolamine is approved as an effective alternative therapy for erectile dysfunction (ED) patients. 1 dose intracavernosal injection contains 25 micrograms aviptadil and 2 mg of phentolamine mesilate for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Aviptadil dose used for treatment of erectile dysfunction is far lesser as compared to dose used for the treatment of ARDS.[11][12]
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a 28-residue amino acid peptide first characterized in 1970 that was initially isolated from porcine duodenum. A member of the secretin/glucagon hormone superfamily. VIP was initially discovered owing to its potent vasodilatory effects (as its name implies). VIP is widely distributed in the central and peripheral nervous system as well as in the digestive, respiratory, reproductive, and cardiovascular systems as a neurotransmitter and neuroendocrine releasing factor. These effects contribute to an extensive range of physiological and pathological processes related to development, growth, and the control of neuronal, epithelial, and endocrine cell function.[13]
VIP Receptors
VIP acts on two receptors – VPAC1 and VPAC2, which are class B of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).VPAC1 is mainly present in the lung and T-lymphocytes, whereas VPAC2 is mainly seen in the smooth muscle,mast cells and the basal parts of the lung mucosa.[14]
Expression of VIP
VIP is produced in the neurons in the central and peripheral nervous systems. VIP is mainly localized in the myenteric and submucosal neurons and nerve terminals in the GI tract. Endogenous VIP is released by numerous stimuli such as acetylcholine (ACh), ATP, serotonin (5-HT), substance P (SP), GLP-2 from at least two populations of VIP-positive nerves: cholinergic and non-cholinergic VIP-releasing nerves. In guinea pig small intestine, most VIP-positive nerves in the mucosa and submucosa are non-cholinergic secretomotor neurons and well colocalized with neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in human colonic circular muscles. VIP is also expressed in immune cells, such as activated T cells and therefore present in lymphoid tissues including Peyer’s patches, the spleen, and lymph nodes, in addition to the VIP-ergic innervation in lymphoid tissues. Beside the neuronal source, VIP is also expressed and released from endocrine organs – Heart, Thyroid, Kidney and GI tracts.[15]
Localization of VIP
- VIP is highly localised in lungs (70%) and binds with alveolar type II (AT II) cells via VPAC1.[2] The biological (vasodilator) activity of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) was discovered in the lungs before the peptide was isolated and chemical identity characterized from intestine. Although VIP levels are consideralbly high in the brain or gut:VIP is localized in key sites in the lung, has potent activities on its major functions, and appears to play an important role in pulmonary physiology and disease.[16]
- The principal localization of VIP-containing neurons in the tracheobronchial tree is in the smooth muscle layer, around submucosal mucous glands and in the walls of pulmonary and bronchial arteries. Immunoreactive VIP is also present in neuronal cell bodies forming microganglia that provide a source of intrinsic innervation of pulmonary structures.[16]
Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) and SARS-CoV-2
VIP is highly localised in lungs and binds with alveolar type II (AT II) cells via VPAC1 receptor. AT II cells constitute only 5% of pulmonary epithelium. Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE 2) surface receptors arepresent in AT II cells. AT II cells produces surfactant and plays an important role in the maintenance of type 1epithelial cells. SARS-CoV-2 enters into AT II cells by binding to ACE 2 surface receptors with its spike protein. SARS CoV-2 attack mainly type II cells (not type I alveolar cells) and results in the death of alveolar type II (AT 11) cells which produces surfactant, resulting in[2]
- Profound defect in oxygenation
- Leading to hypoxia
Mechanism of action of Aviptadil
- Pulmonary alveolar type II Cells have a high concentration of ACE 2 receptors on their cell membrane
- Investigators have confirmed that the SARS-CoV family of viruses selectively attack pulmonary Alveolar Type II (ATII) cells because of their ACE2 receptors, in contrast to other pulmonary epithelial cells.
- SARS-CoV Viruses bind to ACE2 receptors in order to enter the cell. Viral replication and rupture liberates inflammatory cytokines and destroys surfactant production
- VIP binds uniquely to receptors on Alveolar Type II cells in the lung, the same cells that bind the SARS-CoV-2 virus via their ACE2 receptors
- VIP is heavily concentrated in the lung and binds specifically to VIP receptors on alveolar type II cells. VIP exerts a broad anti-cytokine effect on immune system cells
- VIP specifically upregulates surfactant production via upregulation of C-Fos protein and protects type II cells from cytokine
- Upregulating the production of surfactant, the loss of which is increasingly implicated in COVID-19 respiratory failure [17]
Aviptadil a synthetic form of VIP results in rapid clinical recovery in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection.[2]
Effect of Aviptadil on Lungs in COVID-19
Preservation of Pulmonary Tissue
Preserving surfactant production in the lung and in protecting type 2 alveolar cells. Significantly delayed the onset of edematous lung injury, effective in preventing ischemia-reperfusion injury, Prevents NMDA-induced caspase-3 activation in the Lung.[18]
Inhibits alveolar epithelial cell Apoptosis
VIP is a proven inhibitor of activation-induced perforin, as well as of granzyme B and therefore actively contributes to the reduction of deleterious proinflammatory and cell death-inducing processes, particularly in the lungs. Aviptadil restores barrier function at the endothelial/alveolar interface and thereby protects the lung and other organs from failure.[18]
VIP Promotes synthesis of pulmonary surfactant
Studies have demonstrated that VIP binds on type II cells and increases the incorporation of methyl-choline into phosphatidylcholine – the major component of the pulmonary surfactants by enhancing the activity of the enzyme choline-phosphate cytidylyltransferase. VIP upregulates C-Fos protein expression in cultured type II alveolar cells, which is instrumental in promoting synthesis of pulmonary surfactant phospholipids (Li 2007) and induces surfactant protein A expression in ATII cells through activation of PKC/c-Fos pathway.[18]
VIP decreases Pulmonary Inflammation
Anti-cytokine effect- Inhibits IL-6,TNF-α production and inhibit NF-kB activation. Protects against HCl-induced pulmonary edema.[18]
Pharmacokinetic Properties
Half-life: Its plasma half-life of elimination is 1 to 2 minutes.[2] Metabolism/Distribution: After injection of 1 µg radioactively labelled Aviptadil as bolus to patients a very rapid tissue distribution was observed Within 30 min about 45% of the radioactivity was found in the lungs Over an observation period of 24 hrs only minimal activity was detected in the GI tract & almost no activity was found in the liver or spleen Radioactivity in the lungs decreased within four hours to 25% and within 24 hours to 10% Apparent volume of distribution: Aviptadil has a volume of distribution of 14 ml/kg.[2] Tissue Distribution:Aviptadil binds to its receptors in discrete locations within the gastrointestinal, respiratory, and genital tracts. Aviptadil is localized on respiratory epithelium, smooth muscles of the airways, blood vessels and alveolar walls. Elimination:After injection of radiolabelled Aviptadil radioactivity was almost completely eliminated by the kidneys, 35% within 4 hours, and 90% within 24 hours
Justification for Aviptadil use in the treatment of ARDS
COVID-19-related death is primarily caused by Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). The trigger for ARDS is widely attributed to a cytokine storm in the lungs, in which the virus causes release of inflammatory cytokines. As a result, alveolae of the lungs fill with fluid and become impermeable to oxygen, even in the setting of mechanical ventilation. SARS-CoV-2 is known to cause respiratory failure, which is the hallmark of Acute COVID-19. Tragically, survival of patients with COVID-19 who progress to Acute Respiratory Distress is dismal. There is an urgent need for a treatment approach that goes right into the heart of the matter – the alveolar type 2 cells which are vulnerable entry points and hosts for the SARS-CoV-2 virus.[19]
Aviptadil-Evidence from Studies in ARDS
Phase III Study-Increased Recovery and Survival in Patients With COVID-19 Respiratory Failure Following Treatment with Aviptadil
A multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled trial in 196 patients with PCR+ COVID-19 receiving intensive care at 10 U.S. hospitals – 6 tertiary care and 4 regional hospitals to determine whether intravenous aviptadil (synthetic VIP) is superior to placebo in achieving recovery from respiratory failure and survival at 60 days post treatment. Primary, prespecified endpoint was “alive and free from respiratory failure at day 60.” Across all patients and sites of care, patients treated with aviptadil were significantly more likely to be alive and free from respiratory failure at 60 days, compared to those treated with placebo (P=.02) and demonstrated improvement in survival alone (P<.001). Advantages in survival for aviptadil-treated patients were seen in both the subgroup classified as 2 on the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) ordinal scale (58.6% vs. 0%; p=.001) and the NIAID=3 subgroup (83.1% vs. 62.8%; p=.03). Among patients who recovered successfully, those treated with Aviptadil had a median 10-day reduction in length of hospital stay compared to placebo patients (P=.025). Treatment with aviptadil demonstrates multi-dimensional efficacy in improving the likelihood of recovery from respiratory failure and survival to 60 days, and markedly reduced hospital stay in critically ill patients with respiratory failure caused by COVID-19.[20]
Case report: Rapid Clinical Recovery from Critical COVID-19 Pneumonia with Aviptadil
A 54 year old man with double lung transplant presented with headache, fever and productive cough. COVID-19 infection was confirmed by positive RT-PCR of nasopharyngeal swab. The patient required only supportive care for 3 days and was discharged home. Two weeks later he presented with worsening dyspnea, fever and severe hypoxemia requiring high flow O2 and ICU admission. Chest CT showed diffuse bilateral consolidations. He had markedly elevated inflammatory markers. He was treated with dexamethasone and tocilizumab without improvement. He was not a candidate for Remdesivir due to chronic kidney disease. Convalescent plasma was not available, Pro-BNP level was normal; echocardiogram showed preserved biventricular function. He received Aviptadil, a total of three doses, per an open label access under an emergency use approved by USFDA. Rapid improvement in oxygenation and radiologic findings were noticed. No adverse effects were recorded. Patient was transferred out of the ICU 24 hours following the third dose and discharged home on room air 15 days later. This case report of lung transplant recipient with critical COVID-19 pneumonia treated with Aviptadil demonstrates rapid clinical and radiologic improvement.This is consistent with that VIP protects ATII cells, ameliorating the inflammation and improving oxygenation in critical COVID-19 pneumonia.[21]
Posology and method of administration
Aviptadil intravenous infusion is administered by infusion pump in escalating doses for 3 successive days
- Day 1 : Aviptadil 0.166 mcg/kg/hr (equivalent to 1 vial of Aviptadil Injection)
- Day 2 : Aviptadil 0.332 mcg/kg/hr (equivalent to 2 vials of Aviptadil Injection)
- Day 3 : Aviptadil 0.498 mcg/kg/hr (equivalent to 3 vials of Aviptadil Injection)
Duration of infusion depends on the patient’s body weight
- Body weight < 60 kg – 14 hour infusions of Aviptadil at escalating doses on 3 successive days
- Body weight 60 – 90 kg – 12 hour infusions of Aviptadil at escalating doses on 3 successive days
- Body weight > 90 kg – 10 hour infusions of Aviptadil at escalating doses on 3 successive days
Undesirable Effects
Gastrointestinal Disorders – Diarrhea, Vascular disorders – Hypotension, cutaneous flushing, facial flushing & Infusion related reactions[20]

Reaction mixture liquefied in 10 minutes and solidified again within 30 minutes of the reaction (that is the reason for higher amount of TEA). After 3 hours of stirring was reaction mixture cooled to room temperature and analyzed by NMR spectroscopy. - [0113]
Substitution: The above reaction was repeated but Et3N was replaced by 1 equivalent of DABCO. - [0114]
In both cases, substitution was quantitative and analysis of the crude reaction mixtures showed that there was some hydrolysis of the ethyl ester (EE) to the free carboxylic acid (CA) group resulting in a product mixture. The results are summarized in the following table. Ethyl ester is readily soluble in water.Exp.Reaction conditionsConversion (yield)20.012.5 NMP, 1 DABCO, 100°C, 3h100% (48% EE, 52% CA)20.022.5 NMP, 4 Et3N, 100°C, 3h100% (58% EE, 42% CA)

6,7,8-Trifluoro-1-(N-methylformamido)-4-oxo-1,4-quinoline-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (1.0 mmol, 324mg) was mixed with 2 equivalents of N-methylpiperazine (200mg) and stirred for one hour at 100°C. Reaction mixture liquefied in 10 minutes and solidified again within 30 minutes of reaction. After one hour of reaction the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and 10% aqueous H2SO4 (5mL) was added and stirred again at 100°C for two hours. Yellow solution was cooled to 0°C so that product precipitated. It was isolated by filtration under reduced pressure. Pure 6,8-difluoro-1-(methylamino)-7-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-4-oxo-1,4-quinoline-3-carboxylic acid in the form of sulfate salt was obtained (as determined by NMR) as slightly yellow powder (279mg, 58%).

- [0117]
13.5 g of 6,8-Difluoro-1-(methylamino)-7-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid hydrochloride and ca. 63 g of tetramethylammonium hydroxide water solution 25 % were charged into a reactor and slowly heated to 100°C. When this temperature was reached, water was removed by distillation at reduced pressure (between 0.8 to 0.3 bar) in such a manner that ca. 25 to 32 ml of water were removed in 3 hours. The reaction mixture was stirred for another 3 hours and after completion of the conversion, the reaction mixture was cooled to 0 – 10 °C and ca. 40.5 ml of formic acid were slowly added with violent agitation. The temperature was maintained below 20°C, preferable between 0 – 10°C. Then ca. 6.1 ml of formaldehyde were slowly added. After addition the reaction mixture was heated to 70°C and maintained at this temperature for about 30 minutes. - [0118]
The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature (20 – 30°C), ca. 27 ml of purified water were added and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. Then the reaction mixture was cooled to 0 – 5°C and stirred at this temperature for at least 2 hours. The product marbofloxacin formate (MBXBZ) was centrifuged and washed with 10 – 15 g of cooled (0 – 5°C) purified water. The product was spun dried and collected. - [0119]
Wet product MBXBZ was added to the mixture of 67 ml of ethanol, 67 ml of methylene chloride and 16.2 ml of ammonia solution (ca. 25 0). If phases did not separate, additional 63 ml of methylene chloride and 33 ml of purified water were added. The pH of the water phase was adjusted to be between 7 and 9.5, preferable between 7.5 and 8.5. The mixture was agitated for approximately 15 minutes to 1 hour and then the layers were separated and both phases were subjected to in process control (IPC) analysis. - [0120]
If IPC results showed that extraction was not complete, ca. 63 ml of methylene chloride were added to the water layer and the extraction was repeated until the IPC specification was met. - [0121]
The organic phases were combined and ca. 6.8 mg of sodium sulphate anhydrous and optionally 0.4 mg of activated charcoal were added. The mixture was mixed for at least 30 minutes and filtered, then organic solvent was distilled off to obtain crude marbofloxacin.
Purification of the crude Marbofloxacin
- [0122]
In an inert atmosphere 5 g of purified water, 12 g of ethanol 96 % and 4.3 g of toluene (ratio between the solvents was within the following ranges: ethanol : toluene : water : 1.8 – 2.8 : 1 : 1.1 – 1.2) were charged into a reactor and wet crude marbofloxacin (MBXCA) from the previous step was added under nitrogen. The mixture was slowly heated to reflux (70 – 80°C) until a clear solution was obtained. The solution was stirred for 0.5 hour under this temperature and then one half of the azeotrope solvent mixture (toluene : water : ethanol = 51 % : 6 % : 43 %) was evaporated. Then the remaining mixture was cooled slowly to 5°C (allowed interval is between 0 and 25 °C) with agitation (optionally 1 % mass of product of disodium-EDTA can be added). The mixture was mixed for 1 to 3 hours and the product was then isolated by centrifugation, washed with 13 g of ethanol, spun dry and collected. The product was dried at temperature 40 – 45°C, p < 100 mbar for 8 hour.
Example 23Purification of Marbofloxacin
- [0123]
Marbofloxacin was dissolved in 20 parts by weight of water by addition of acetic acid. Marbofloxacin was completely dissolved at pH of 5.3. Active charcoal was added and the mixture was stirred overnight. The mixture was then filtered using activated charcoal filter. The pH of the filtrate was adjusted to 7.2 by use of KOH, the obtained suspension was stirred for 1 hour at room temperature and then the precipitated product was recovered. Marbofloxacin with a purity of 99,9% (HPLC area) was obtained. - [0124]
HPLC analysis was performed on a pentafluorophenyl propyl (PFP) column (type Luna® PFP, 150 x 4.6mm, 3µm, Phenomenex, USA); detector: UV315 nm; flow rate: 0.8 ml/min; injection volume: 5 µl; mobile phase: A: 0.02M NaH2PO4xH2O+0,1% TEA, pH2.5; B: acetonitrile : methanol = 5:95 (v/v) ; gradient: 0’=10B, 25’=100B, 30’= 100B, 32’=10B. The HPLC chromatogram of marbofloxacin prior to purification is shown in Figure 1, the HPLC chromatogram after purification is shown in Figure 2. As evident from the chromatograms all products with retention time above 24min were successfully eliminated.
Mechanism of action
Its mechanism of action is not thoroughly understood, but it is believed to be similar to the other fluoroquinolones by impairing the bacterial DNA gyrase which results in rapid bactericidal activity.[1] The other proposed mechanisms include that it acts against nondividing bacteria and does not require protein and RNA synthesis, which block protein and RNA synthesis respectively.[2]
Activity
Marbofloxacin is a synthetic, broad spectrum bactericidal agent. The bactericidal activity of marbofloxacin is concentration dependent, with susceptible bacteria cell death occurring within 20–30 minutes of exposure. Like other fluoroquinolones, marbofloxacin has demonstrated a significant post-antibiotic effect for both gram– and + bacteria and is active in both stationary and growth phases of bacterial replication.[3]
It has good activity against many gram-negative bacilli and cocci, is effective against:
- Aeromonas
- Brucella
- Campylobacter
- Chlamydia trachomatis
- Enterobacter
- Escherichia coli
- Haemophilus
- Klebsiella spp
- Mycobacterium
- Mycoplasma
- Proteus
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa
- Salmonella
- Serratia
- Shigella
- Staphylococci (including penicillinase-producing and methicillin-resistant strains)
- Vibrio
- Yersinia
Application
Marbofloxacin can be used both orally and topically. It is particularly used for infections of the skin, respiratory system and mammary glands in dogs and cats, as well as with urinary tract infections. For dogs, a dose ranges from 2.75 – 5.5 mg/kg once a day. The duration of treatment is usually at least five days, longer if there is a concurrent fungal or yeast infection.[4] Maximum duration of treatment is 30 days.[3]
Contraindications and side effects
Marbofloxacin should usually be avoided in young animals because of potential cartilage abnormalities. In rare occasion, it can cause central nervous system (CNS) stimulation and should be used with caution in patients with seizure disorders.[3] Under certain conditions it can cause discomfort such as cramps, treatable with diazepam. Other adverse effects are usually limited to gastrointestinal tract (GI) distress (vomiting, anorexia, soft stools, diarrhoea) and decreased activity.[3]

Staurosporine (antibiotic AM-2282 or STS) is a natural product originally isolated in 1977 from the bacterium Streptomyces staurosporeus.[1] It was the first of over 50 alkaloids to be isolated with this type of bis-indole chemical structure. The chemical structure of staurosporine was elucidated by X-ray analysis of a single crystal and the absolute stereochemical configuration by the same method in 1994.[2]
Staurosporine was discovered to have biological activities ranging from anti-fungal to anti-hypertensive.[3] The interest in these activities resulted in a large investigative effort in chemistry and biology and the discovery of the potential for anti-cancer treatment.

Biological activities
The main biological activity of staurosporine is the inhibition of protein kinases through the prevention of ATP binding to the kinase. This is achieved through the stronger affinity of staurosporine to the ATP-binding site on the kinase. Staurosporine is a prototypical ATP-competitive kinase inhibitor in that it binds to many kinases with high affinity, though with little selectivity.[4] Structural analysis of kinase pockets demonstrated that main chain atoms which are conserved in their relative positions to staurosporine contributes to staurosporine promiscuity.[5] This lack of specificity has precluded its clinical use, but has made it a valuable research tool. In research, staurosporine is used to induce apoptosis. The mechanism of how it mediates this is not well understood. It has been found that one way in which staurosporine induces apoptosis is by activating caspase-3.[6] At lower concentration, depending on the cell type, staurosporine induces specific cell cycle effects arresting cells either in G1 or in G2 phase of the cell cycle.[7]
Chemistry family
Main article: Indolocarbazole
Staurosporine is an indolocarbazole. It belongs to the most frequently isolated group of indolocarbazoles: Indolo(2,3-a)carbazoles. Of these, Staurosporine falls within the most common subgroup, called Indolo(2,3-a)pyrrole(3,4-c)carbazoles. These fall into two classes – halogenated (chlorinated) and non-halogenated. Halogenated indolo(2,3-a)pyrrole(3,4-c)carbazoles have a fully oxidized C-7 carbon with only one indole nitrogen containing a β-glycosidic bond, while non-halogenated indolo(2,3-a)pyrrole(3,4-c)carbazoles have both indole nitrogens glycosylated, and a fully reduced C-7 carbon. Staurosporine is in the non-halogenated class.[8]
Staurosporine is the precursor of the novel protein kinase inhibitor midostaurin (PKC412).[9][10] Besides midostaurin, staurosporine is also used as a starting material in the commercial synthesis of K252c (also called staurosporine aglycone). In the natural biosynthetic pathway, K252c is a precursor of staurosporine.

Structure of an Indolo[2,3-a]pyrrole[3,4-c]carbazol

Biosynthesis
The biosynthesis of staurosporine starts with the amino acid L-tryptophan in its zwitterionic form. Tryptophan is converted to an imine by enzyme StaO which is an L-amino acid oxidase (that may be FAD dependent). The imine is acted upon by StaD to form an uncharacterized intermediate proposed to be the dimerization product between 2 imine molecules. Chromopyrrolic acid is the molecule formed from this intermediate after the loss of VioE (used in the biosynthesis of violacein – a natural product formed from a branch point in this pathway that also diverges to form rebeccamycin. An aryl aryl coupling thought to be catalyzed by a cytochrome P450 enzyme to form an aromatic ring system occurs.[8]

This is followed by a nucleophilic attack between the indole nitrogens resulting in cyclization and then decarboxylation assisted by StaC exclusively forming staurosporine aglycone or K252c. Glucose is transformed to NTP-L-ristoamine by StaA/B/E/J/I/K which is then added on to the staurosporine aglycone at 1 indole N by StaG. The StaN enzyme reorients the sugar by attaching it to the 2nd indole nitrogen into an unfavored conformation to form intermediated O-demethyl-N-demethyl-staurosporine. Lastly, O-methylation of the 4’amine by StaMA and N-methylation of the 3′-hydroxy by StaMB leads to the formation of staurosporine.[8]
Research in clinical use
When encapsulated in liposome nanoparticle, staurosporine is shown to suppress tumors in vivo in a mouse model without the toxic side effects which have prohibited its use as an anti-cancer drug with high apoptotic activity. Researchers in UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center develop a platform technology of high drug-loading efficiency by manipulating the pH environment of the cells. When injected into the mouse glioblastoma model, staurosporine is found to accumulate primarily in the tumor via fluorescence confirmation, and the mice did not suffer weight loss compared to the control mice administered with the free compound, an indicator of reduced toxicity.[11][12]

Lipoic acid (LA), also known as α-lipoic acid, alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) and thioctic acid, is an organosulfur compound derived from caprylic acid (octanoic acid).[3] ALA is made in animals normally, and is essential for aerobic metabolism. It is also manufactured and is available as a dietary supplement in some countries where it is marketed as an antioxidant, and is available as a pharmaceutical drug in other countries.[3]
Physical and chemical properties
Lipoic acid (LA), also known as α-lipoic acid,[3][4] alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), and thioctic acid[5] is an organosulfur compound derived from octanoic acid.[3] LA contains two sulfur atoms (at C6 and C8) connected by a disulfide bond and is thus considered to be oxidized although either sulfur atom can exist in higher oxidation states.[3]
The carbon atom at C6 is chiral and the molecule exists as two enantiomers (R)-(+)-lipoic acid (RLA) and (S)-(-)-lipoic acid (SLA) and as a racemic mixture (R/S)-lipoic acid (R/S-LA).
LA appears physically as a yellow solid and structurally contains a terminal carboxylic acid and a terminal dithiolane ring.
For use in dietary supplement materials and compounding pharmacies, the USP has established an official monograph for R/S-LA.[6][7]
Biological function
“Lipoate” is the conjugate base of lipoic acid, and the most prevalent form of LA under physiological conditions.[3] Most endogenously produced RLA are not “free” because octanoic acid, the precursor to RLA, is bound to the enzyme complexes prior to enzymatic insertion of the sulfur atoms. As a cofactor, RLA is covalently attached by an amide bond to a terminal lysine residue of the enzyme’s lipoyl domains. One of the most studied roles of RLA is as a cofactor of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC or PDHC), though it is a cofactor in other enzymatic systems as well (described below).[3]
Only the (R)-(+)-enantiomer (RLA) exists in nature and is essential for aerobic metabolism because RLA is an essential cofactor of many enzyme complexes.[3]
Biosynthesis and attachment
The precursor to lipoic acid, octanoic acid, is made via fatty acid biosynthesis in the form of octanoyl-acyl carrier protein.[3] In eukaryotes, a second fatty acid biosynthetic pathway in mitochondria is used for this purpose.[3] The octanoate is transferred as a thioester of acyl carrier protein from fatty acid biosynthesis to an amide of the lipoyl domain protein by an enzyme called an octanoyltransferase.[3] Two hydrogens of octanoate are replaced with sulfur groups via a radical SAM mechanism, by lipoyl synthase.[3] As a result, lipoic acid is synthesized attached to proteins and no free lipoic acid is produced. Lipoic acid can be removed whenever proteins are degraded and by action of the enzyme lipoamidase.[8] Free lipoate can be used by some organisms as an enzyme called lipoate protein ligase that attaches it covalently to the correct protein. The ligase activity of this enzyme requires ATP.[9]
Cellular transport
Along with sodium and the vitamins biotin (B7) and pantothenic acid (B5), lipoic acid enters cells through the SMVT (sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter). Each of the compounds transported by the SMVT is competitive with the others. For example research has shown that increasing intake of lipoic acid[10] or pantothenic acid[11] reduces the uptake of biotin and/or the activities of biotin-dependent enzymes.
Enzymatic activity
Lipoic acid is a cofactor for at least five enzyme systems.[3] Two of these are in the citric acid cycle through which many organisms turn nutrients into energy. Lipoylated enzymes have lipoic acid attached to them covalently. The lipoyl group transfers acyl groups in 2-oxoacid dehydrogenase complexes, and methylamine group in the glycine cleavage complex or glycine dehydrogenase.[3]
2-Oxoacid dehydrogenase transfer reactions occur by a similar mechanism in:
- the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex
- the α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase or 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex
- the branched-chain oxoacid dehydrogenase (BCDH) complex
- the acetoin dehydrogenase complex.
The most-studied of these is the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.[3] These complexes have three central subunits: E1-3, which are the decarboxylase, lipoyl transferase, and dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase, respectively. These complexes have a central E2 core and the other subunits surround this core to form the complex. In the gap between these two subunits, the lipoyl domain ferries intermediates between the active sites.[3] The lipoyl domain itself is attached by a flexible linker to the E2 core and the number of lipoyl domains varies from one to three for a given organism. The number of domains has been experimentally varied and seems to have little effect on growth until over nine are added, although more than three decreased activity of the complex.[12]
Lipoic acid serves as co-factor to the acetoin dehydrogenase complex catalyzing the conversion of acetoin (3-hydroxy-2-butanone) to acetaldehyde and acetyl coenzyme A.[3]
The glycine cleavage system differs from the other complexes, and has a different nomenclature.[3] In this system, the H protein is a free lipoyl domain with additional helices, the L protein is a dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase, the P protein is the decarboxylase, and the T protein transfers the methylamine from lipoate to tetrahydrofolate (THF) yielding methylene-THF and ammonia. Methylene-THF is then used by serine hydroxymethyltransferase to synthesize serine from glycine. This system is part of plant photorespiration.[13]
Biological sources and degradation
Lipoic acid is present in many foods in which it is bound to lysine in proteins,[3] but slightly more so in kidney, heart, liver, spinach, broccoli, and yeast extract.[14] Naturally occurring lipoic acid is always covalently bound and not readily available from dietary sources.[3] In addition, the amount of lipoic acid present in dietary sources is low. For instance, the purification of lipoic acid to determine its structure used an estimated 10 tons of liver residue, which yielded 30 mg of lipoic acid.[15] As a result, all lipoic acid available as a supplement is chemically synthesized.
Baseline levels (prior to supplementation) of RLA and R-DHLA have not been detected in human plasma.[16] RLA has been detected at 12.3−43.1 ng/mL following acid hydrolysis, which releases protein-bound lipoic acid. Enzymatic hydrolysis of protein bound lipoic acid released 1.4−11.6 ng/mL and <1-38.2 ng/mL using subtilisin and alcalase, respectively.[17][18][19]
Digestive proteolytic enzymes cleave the R-lipoyllysine residue from the mitochondrial enzyme complexes derived from food but are unable to cleave the lipoic acid-L–lysine amide bond.[20] Both synthetic lipoamide and (R)-lipoyl-L-lysine are rapidly cleaved by serum lipoamidases, which release free (R)-lipoic acid and either L-lysine or ammonia.[3] Little is known about the degradation and utilization of aliphatic sulfides such as lipoic acid, except for cysteine.[3]
Lipoic acid is metabolized in a variety of ways when given as a dietary supplement in mammals.[3][21] Degradation to tetranorlipoic acid, oxidation of one or both of the sulfur atoms to the sulfoxide, and S-methylation of the sulfide were observed. Conjugation of unmodified lipoic acid to glycine was detected especially in mice.[21] Degradation of lipoic acid is similar in humans, although it is not clear if the sulfur atoms become significantly oxidized.[3][22] Apparently mammals are not capable of utilizing lipoic acid as a sulfur source.
Chemical synthesis

(R)-Lipoic acid (RLA, top) and (S)-lipoic acid (SLA, down). A 1:1 mixture (racemate) of (R)- and (S)-lipoic acid is called (RS)-lipoic acid or (±)-lipoic acid (R/S-LA).
SLA did not exist prior to chemical synthesis in 1952.[23][24] SLA is produced in equal amounts with RLA during achiral manufacturing processes. The racemic form was more widely used clinically in Europe and Japan in the 1950s to 1960s despite the early recognition that the various forms of LA are not bioequivalent.[25] The first synthetic procedures appeared for RLA and SLA in the mid-1950s.[26][27][28][29] Advances in chiral chemistry led to more efficient technologies for manufacturing the single enantiomers by both classical resolution and asymmetric synthesis and the demand for RLA also grew at this time. In the 21st century, R/S-LA, RLA and SLA with high chemical and/or optical purities are available in industrial quantities. At the current time, most of the world supply of R/S-LA and RLA is manufactured in China and smaller amounts in Italy, Germany, and Japan. RLA is produced by modifications of a process first described by Georg Lang in a Ph.D. thesis and later patented by DeGussa.[30][31] Although RLA is favored nutritionally due to its “vitamin-like” role in metabolism, both RLA and R/S-LA are widely available as dietary supplements. Both stereospecific and non-stereospecific reactions are known to occur in vivo and contribute to the mechanisms of action, but evidence to date indicates RLA may be the eutomer (the nutritionally and therapeutically preferred form).[32][33]
Pharmacology
Pharmacokinetics
A 2007 human pharmacokinetic study of sodium RLA demonstrated the maximum concentration in plasma and bioavailability are significantly greater than the free acid form, and rivals plasma levels achieved by intravenous administration of the free acid form.[34] Additionally, high plasma levels comparable to those in animal models where Nrf2 was activated were achieved.[34]
The various forms of LA are not bioequivalent.[25][non-primary source needed] Very few studies compare individual enantiomers with racemic lipoic acid. It is unclear if twice as much racemic lipoic acid can replace RLA.[34]
The toxic dose of LA in cats is much lower than that in humans or dogs and produces hepatocellular toxicity.[35]
Pharmacodynamics
The mechanism and action of lipoic acid when supplied externally to an organism is controversial. Lipoic acid in a cell seems primarily to induce the oxidative stress response rather than directly scavenge free radicals. This effect is specific for RLA.[4] Despite the strongly reducing milieu, LA has been detected intracellularly in both oxidized and reduced forms.[36] LA is able to scavenge reactive oxygen and reactive nitrogen species in a biochemical assay due to long incubation times, but there is little evidence this occurs within a cell or that radical scavenging contributes to the primary mechanisms of action of LA.[4][37] The relatively good scavenging activity of LA toward hypochlorous acid (a bactericidal produced by neutrophils that may produce inflammation and tissue damage) is due to the strained conformation of the 5-membered dithiolane ring, which is lost upon reduction to DHLA. In cells, LA is reduced to dihydrolipoic acid, which is generally regarded as the more bioactive form of LA and the form responsible for most of the antioxidant effects and for lowering the redox activities of unbound iron and copper.[38] This theory has been challenged due to the high level of reactivity of the two free sulfhydryls, low intracellular concentrations of DHLA as well as the rapid methylation of one or both sulfhydryls, rapid side-chain oxidation to shorter metabolites and rapid efflux from the cell. Although both DHLA and LA have been found inside cells after administration, most intracellular DHLA probably exists as mixed disulfides with various cysteine residues from cytosolic and mitochondrial proteins.[32] Recent findings suggest therapeutic and anti-aging effects are due to modulation of signal transduction and gene transcription, which improve the antioxidant status of the cell. However, this likely occurs via pro-oxidant mechanisms, not by radical scavenging or reducing effects.[4][37][39]
All the disulfide forms of LA (R/S-LA, RLA and SLA) can be reduced to DHLA although both tissue specific and stereoselective (preference for one enantiomer over the other) reductions have been reported in model systems. At least two cytosolic enzymes, glutathione reductase (GR) and thioredoxin reductase (Trx1), and two mitochondrial enzymes, lipoamide dehydrogenase and thioredoxin reductase (Trx2), reduce LA. SLA is stereoselectively reduced by cytosolic GR whereas Trx1, Trx2 and lipoamide dehydrogenase stereoselectively reduce RLA. (R)-(+)-lipoic acid is enzymatically or chemically reduced to (R)-(-)-dihydrolipoic acid whereas (S)-(-)-lipoic acid is reduced to (S)-(+)-dihydrolipoic acid.[40][41][42][43][44][45][46] Dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) can also form intracellularly and extracellularly via non-enzymatic, thiol-disulfide exchange reactions.[47]
RLA may function in vivo like a B-vitamin and at higher doses like plant-derived nutrients, such as curcumin, sulforaphane, resveratrol, and other nutritional substances that induce phase II detoxification enzymes, thus acting as cytoprotective agents.[39][48] This stress response indirectly improves the antioxidant capacity of the cell.[4]
The (S)-enantiomer of LA was shown to be toxic when administered to thiamine-deficient rats.[49][50]
Several studies have demonstrated that SLA either has lower activity than RLA or interferes with the specific effects of RLA by competitive inhibition.[51][52][53][54][55]

Uses
R/S-LA and RLA are widely available as over-the-counter nutritional supplements in the United States in the form of capsules, tablets, and aqueous liquids, and have been marketed as antioxidants.[3]
Although the body can synthesize LA, it can also be absorbed from the diet. Dietary supplementation in doses from 200–600 mg is likely to provide up to 1000 times the amount available from a regular diet. Gastrointestinal absorption is variable and decreases with the use of food. It is therefore recommended that dietary LA be taken 30–60 minutes before or at least 120 minutes after a meal. Maximum blood levels of LA are achieved 30–60 minutes after dietary supplementation, and it is thought to be largely metabolized in the liver.[56]
In Germany, LA is approved as a drug for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy since 1966 and is available as a non-prescription pharmaceutical.[57]
Clinical research
According to the American Cancer Society as of 2013, “there is no reliable scientific evidence at this time that lipoic acid prevents the development or spread of cancer”.[58] As of 2015, intravenously administered ALA is unapproved anywhere in the world except Germany for diabetic neuropathy, but has been proven reasonably safe and effective in four clinical trials; however another large trial over four years found no difference from placebo.[59] As of 2012, there was no good evidence alpha lipoic acid helps people with mitochondrial disorders.[60] A 2018 review recommended ALA as an anti-obesity supplement with low dosage (< 600 mg/day) for a short period of time (<10 weeks); however, it is too expensive to be practical as a complementary therapy for obesity.[61]

A synthetic route based on the asymmetric reduction of oxo diesters has been reported. Meldrum’s acid (LII) was acylated by methyl adipoyl chloride (LI) in the presence of pyridine to produce the intermediate (LIII) which, upon alcoholysis with isobutanol, led to oxo diester (LIV). Enantioselective reduction of (LIV) by means of baker’s yeast furnished the (S)-hydroxy diester (LV). Alternatively, the analogous oxo diester (LVI) was prepared by acylation of methyl acetoacetate with methyl adipoyl chloride (LI), followed by deacetylation in the presence of ammonium hydroxide. Then, asymmetric chemical reduction of (LVI) by hydrogenation in the presence of the chiral catalyst Ru2Cl4[(S)-BINAP]2 provided the (S)-hydroxy diester (LVII). Regioselective reduction of either diester (LV) or (LVII) by means of NaBH4 in refluxing THF furnished dihydroxy ester (XLVIII). After conversion of (XLVIII) to the dimesylate (XLIX), displacement with potassium thioacetate afforded the bis(acetylthio) derivative (LVIII), which was further hydrolyzed with KOH to provide dihydrolipoic acid (LIX). In a related procedure, dihydrolipoic acid (LIX) was prepared by reaction of dimesylate (XLIX) with sodium disulfide, followed by reductive treatment with NaBH4 and NaOH. The title cyclic disulfide was then obtained by oxidation of the dithiol (LIX) using oxygen in the presence of FeCl3.

The key dihydroxy ester intermediate (XIII) was also obtained by asymmetric hydrogenation of hydroxy ketoester (XLIII) in the presence of (S)-BINAP-dichlororuthenium catalyst. The precursor hydroxy ketoester (XLIII) was prepared by two alternative procedures. In one method, the racemic dihydroxy ester (XLII) was selectively oxidized to (XLIII) by means of NaOCl. In another method, the unsaturated keto ester (XLIV) was epoxidized by means of sodium percarbonate, and the resultant epoxide (XLV) was then reduced to the hydroxy ketoester (XLIII) by catalytic hydrogenation over PtO2.

Both enantiomers of racemic 8-chloro-6-hydroxyoctanoic acid (LX) were separated employing either (+)- or (-)-alpha-methylbenzylamine. Esterification of the (R)-(-)-enantiomer with HCl-MeOH provided the chloro hydroxy ester (LXI). Further chlorination of (LXI) with SOCl2 and pyridine proceeded with inversion of configuration at C-6 to furnish the (S)-dichloro derivative (LXII). The cyclic disulfide (L) was then prepared by treatment of chloride (LXII) with sulfur and sodium sulfide in boiling EtOH. Basic hydrolysis of the methyl ester group of (LXII) then afforded (R) alpha lipoic acid. The title compound was also obtained from the (S)-(+)-acid (LXIII). Reaction of hydroxy acid (LXIII) with methanesulfonyl chloride produced the chloro mesylate (LXIV), which was then cyclized to the target disulfide in the presence of sulfur and Na2S.

The reaction of the chiral dibenzoyloxy-dihydropyran (LXV) with H2SO4 and HgSO4 gives the unsaturated aldehyde (LXVI), which is condensed with the phosphorane (LXVII) to yield the hepatdienoic ester (LXVIII). The hydrogenation of (LXVIII) with H2 over Pd/C affords the heptanoic ester (LXIX), which is treated with Ts-Cl and pyridine to provide the tosyloxy derivative (LXX). The cyclization of (LXX) by means of K2CO3 gives the chiral epoxide (LXXI), which is condensed with vinylmagnesium bromide (LXXII) to yield 6(S)-hydroxy-8-nonenoic acid methyl ester (LXXIII). The oxidation of the terminal double bond of (LXXIII) with ozone affords the carbaldehyde (LXXIV), which is reduced with NaBH4 to provide 6(S),8-dihydroxyoctanoic acid methyl ester (XLVIII). The reaction of (XLVIII) with Ms-Cl and pyridine gives the dimesylate (XLIX), which is treated with Na2S2 to yield the lipoic acid methyl ester (L), which is hydrolyzed to the target acid with KOH in H2O.

Alkylation of the lithio-dianion of propargyl alcohol (XIII) with 6-bromo-1-hexene (XIV), followed by in situ reduction of the resultant disubstituted acetylene with lithium metal gave the allylic alcohol (XV). Asymmetric Sharpless epoxidation of (XV) using tert-butyl hydroperoxide in the presence of L-(+)-diisopropyl tartrate afforded the (S,S)-epoxy alcohol (XVI). This was reduced to the chiral diol (XVII) employing Red-Al?in THF. After formation of the bis-mesylate (XVIII), oxidative cleavage of the terminal double bond by means of NaIO4 in the presence of ruthenium catalyst furnished the carboxylic acid (XIX). The mesylate groups were finally displaced by sodium disulfide to produce the desired cyclic disulfide compound.

A different strategy was based on the enantioselective oxidation of a cyclohexanone derivative by enzymic Baeyer-Villiger reaction. Keto ester (XXXVIII) was protected as the ethylene ketal (XXXIX) and subsequently reduced to alcohol (XL) using LiAlH4. Acetylation of alcohol (XL) to acetate (XLI), followed by acidic ketal hydrolysis afforded cyclohexanone (XLII) (9,10). The racemic ketone (XLII) was then subjected to oxidative cleavage by monooxigenase 2 obtained from Pseudomonas putida to furnish the (R)-lactone (XLIV) along with unreacted (S)-cyclohexanone (XLIII) (9-11). The use of cyclohexanone monooxigenase from Acinetobacter NCIMB 9871 has also been reported for this reaction (12). Methanolysis of lactone (XLIV) in the presence of NaOMe gave rise to the (R)-dihydroxy ester (XLV). Inversion of the configuration of (XLV) was accomplished by Mitsunobu coupling with p-nitrobenzoic acid (XLVI) to produce the (S)-p-nitrobenzoate ester (XLVII). Smooth hydrolysis of ester (XLVII) provided methyl (S)-6,8-dihydroxyoctanoate (XLVIII), which was processed through intermediates (XLIX) and (L), as for the isopropyl (X) (Scheme 29605101a) and ethyl (XXIX) (Scheme 29605103a) homologues, to afford the title compound.

The olefinic diester (XXXVIII) was subjected to OsO4-catalyzed asymmetric dihydroxylation using hydroquinidine 1,4-phthalazinediyl diether [(DHQD)2-PHAL] as chiral ligand to afford diol (XXXIX). This was converted to the cyclic sulfate (XL) by treatment with SOCl2, followed by RuCl3-catalyzed NaIO4 oxidation of the intermediate sulfite. Regioselective reduction of sulfate (XL) at the alpha position with NaBH4 in DMA led to the (3S)-alcohol (XLI). Further selective reduction of the ethyl ester group of (XLI) was achieved by treatment with NaBH4-Et3N in MeOH-DMF, yielding the target intermediate dihydroxy ester (XIII).

1,6-Hexanediol (I) was protected as the mono-tetrahydropyranyl ether (II), and the free hydroxyl group was subsequently oxidized to aldehyde (III) under Swern conditions. Reformatskii reaction of aldehyde (III) with the organozinc reagent generated from ethyl bromoacetate yielded the racemic hydroxy ester (IV). The requisite (S)-enantiomer (VI) was obtained via oxidation of (IV) to oxo ester (V) using pyridinium chlorochromate, and then asymmetric hydrogenation in the presence of (S)-(-)-2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl dichlororuthenium complex. Oxo ester (V) was also prepared by SnCl2-catalyzed insertion of ethyl diazoacetate into aldehyde (III). The chiral hydroxy ester (VI) was then reduced to diol (VII) by means of NaBH4-CuSO4. After conversion of (VII) to the corresponding dimesylate (VIII), removal of the tetrahydropyranyl protecting group under acidic conditions gave alcohol (IX). This was sequentially oxidized with PCC to aldehyde, and then with Ag2O to furnish the target dimesylate acid intermediate (X).

Aldehyde (II), prepared by ozonolysis of cyclohexene (I), was ketalized with (S,S)-2,4-pentanediol (III) to afford dioxane (IV). Titanium chloride-mediated coupling of acetal (IV) with the ketene acetal (V) afforded diastereoselectively adduct (VI), which was subsequently hydrolyzed to carboxylic acid (VII) by means of trifluoroacetic acid. Removal of the pentanediol moiety to furnish the (R)-alcohol (IX) was accomplished via Jones oxidation of the secondary alcohol (VII) to ketone (VIII), followed by beta-elimination in the presence of piperidinium acetate. Reduction of the free carboxyl group by borane-tetrahydrofuran complex gave diol (X), which was further converted to dimesylate (XI). Disulfide displacement of the mesylate groups provided (+)-lipoic acid isopropyl ester (XII), which was finally hydrolyzed to the title acid using K2CO3 in MeOH/H2O.

A short synthetic strategy utilized the cyclic thioketal (XXXIII), derived from d-menthone (XXXII) and 1,3-propanedithiol, as the chiral template. Stereospecific oxidation of dithiane (XXXIII) employing NaIO4 produced sulfoxide (XXXIV). The carbanion generated from sulfoxide (XXXIV) was stereoselectively alkylated by 5-bromopentanoic acid (XXXV) in the presence of TMEDA to furnish the trans alkylated compound (XXXVI). Finally, acidic hydrolysis of (XXXVI) formed the intermediate mercapto sulfinic acid (XXXVII) which spontaneously cyclized to the desired dithiolane derivative.

An alternative route to (+)-lipoic acid used ethyl 4,6-di-O-acetyl-2,3-dideoxy-alpha-D-erythro-hexopyranoside (XX), prepared from triacetyl-D-glucal, as the chiral starting point. Deacetylation of (XX) with sodium methoxide under Zemplen conditions gave diol (XXI) which, after conventional benzylation, led to the 4,6-di-O-benzyl derivative (XXII). Ring opening of the cyclic acetal (XXII) with propanediol in the presence of boron trifluoride afforded the dithiane derivative (XXIII). The free hydroxyl group of (XXIII) was converted into xanthate (XXIV) by reaction with NaH and CS2, followed by methyl iodide. Reductive cleavage of the xanthate group by means of Bu3SnH and AIBN provided (XXV). Hydrolysis of the thioacetal function with HgO and BF3 provided aldehyde (XXVI). Chain homologation was performed by Wittig reaction of aldehyde (XXVI) with phosphorane (XXVII) to afford the unsaturated ester (XXVIII). Simultaneous double bond hydrogenation and benzyl ether cleavage in the presence of Raney nickel led to dihydroxy ester (XXIX).

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Acetaminosalol is an organic compound with the chemical formula C15H13NO4.
It is an esterification product of salicylic acid and paracetamol. It was marketed by Bayer under the brand name Salophen as an analgesic in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Action and uses
In a warm alkaline solution acetaminosalol is broken up into salicylic acid and paracetamol. It is decomposed in the intestines, even when given as an injection. It was used as a substitute for salicylic acid in acute rheumatism, and as an intestinal antiseptic. It was similarly effective and much safer than salol, another intestinal antiseptic commonly used at the time. The fact that it is tasteless renders it easy to administer.Advertisement for early 20th century Bayer products, including Salophen

The metabolites of (±)-5-[p-[2-(5-ethyl-2-pyridyl)ethoxy]benzyl]-2, 4-thiazolidinedione (1, pioglitazone), which is a representative insulin-sensitizing agent, were synthesized to confirm their structures and for studies of their pharmacological properties. Of the metabolites identified, a compound hydroxylated at the 2-position of the ethoxy chain (3) and compounds oxygenated at the ethyl side chain attached to the pyridine ring (4, 5) were found to be active, although the potency was slightly lower than that of the parent compound.

Pioglitazone (5-(4-(2-(5-ethyl-2-pyridyl)ethoxy)benzyl)-2,4-thiazolidinedione, 2) is a prototypical antidiabetic thiazolidinedione that had been evaluated for possible clinical development. Metabolites 6−9 have been identified after dosing of rats and dogs. Ketone 10 has not yet been identified as a metabolite but has been added to the list as a putative metabolite by analogy to alcohol 6 and ketone 7. We have developed improved syntheses of pioglitazone (2) metabolites 6−9 and the putative metabolite ketone 10. These entities have been compared in the KKAy mouse model of human type-II diabetes to pioglitazone (2). Ketone 10 has proven to be the most potent of these thiazolidinediones in this in vivo assay. When 6−10 were compared in vitro in the 3T3-L1 cell line to 2, for their ability to augment insulin-stimulated lipogenesis, 10 was again the most potent compound with 6, 7, and 9 roughly equivalent to 2. These data suggest that metabolites 6, 7, and 9 are likely to contribute to the pharmacological activity of pioglitazone (2), as had been previously reported for ciglitazone (1).

Compound 5-[4-[2-(5-(1 -hydroxyethyl)-2-pyridinyl)ethoxy]benzyl]-2,4-thiazolidinedione of formula (1 ) can be prepared according to Scheme 1 (see e.g. J.Med.Chem. 1996, 39(26),5053).
Scheme 1
Scheme 2
Yet another method to prepare mixtures (c) – comprising compound (2) and (4) – and (d) – comprising compounds (3) and (5) – (scheme 3), includes the resolution of the racemic mixture VIII using the already described methods (chiral HPLC separation, enzymatic resolution, chiral resolution, etc) followed by double bond reduction in each of the enantiomers Villa and Vlllb.
Scheme 4
Compounds of formula (2), (3), (4) and (5) may be obtained from mixtures (c) and (d) (Scheme 45) by chiral HPLC separation. Alternatively, the desired enantiomerically pure compounds can be prepared by chiral synthetic procedures known to those skilled in the art (for example: asymmetric hydrogenolysis of the corresponding single isomer of compound VI).
HPLC Method
Column: Symmetry Shield RP-18, 5 μηη (4.6 x 250 mm); wavelength: 210 nm; flow: 1 mL/min; run time: 28 min; mobile phase-gradient: (t/%B): 0/10, 8/10, 12/60, 16/80, 20/80, 24/10, 28/10 [A: Water (potassium dihydrogen o-phosphate (pH~3)), B: Acetonitrile]
A mixture of compounds (2) and (4) (mixture (c)) and a mixture of compounds (3) and (5) (mixture (d)) were prepared according to Scheme 7.
Example 6: Preparation of diastereomeric mixtures D-1 and D-2 of M-IV:
Scheme 1 :
Ent-1 (VIII) Ent-2 (VIII)
Step 3 Step 3
MIV D-1 MIV D-2
Step 1 : Synthesis of compound VIII: HCI (48 ml, 2N) was added to a solution of compound VI (10 g, 0.024 mol) in methanol (200 ml) and the mixture was heated to reflux. After 4 h of reflux, the reaction mixture was cooled to r.t. and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford a yellow solid. The solid was suspended in water (70 ml) and neutralized using a saturated NaHC03 solution. The resulting pale yellow precipitate was collected by filtration and vacuum dried to afford compound VIII (7.5 g; 84% yield).
ES-MS [M+1]+: 371.0.
Step 2: Chiral prep. HPLC
Compound VIII (1 .0 g) was dissolved in a mixture containing equal volumes of acetonitrile, methanol and dichloromethane; injected (150 μΙ injections) in chiral prep-HPLC column (Chiralpak-IA 250 x 20 mm, 5 micron) and separated [Mobile phase- n-Hexane/0.05% Et3N in EtOH (50:50); flow Rate: 18ml/min; run time: 60 min]. The fractions containing the enantiomers Villa and Vlllb were separately concentrated under reduced pressure to minimum volume and the respective residues were diluted with EtOAc (100 ml), followed by water (50 ml). The resultant organic phases were
dried over anhydrous Na2S04 and concentrated to afford compounds Villa and Vlllb as off-white solids. Enantiomers Villa and Vlllb were isolated but the absolute configuration of each enantiomer has not been determined.
Compound Ent-1 (VIII): 250 mg (Yield: 50%); tR (Chiral HPLC) = 14.8 min; ES-MS [M+1]+: 371 .0; 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 12.5 (br S, 1 H), 8.47 (s, 1 H), 7.71 (s, 1 H), 7.67 (dd, J = 8.0, 2.0 Hz, 1 H), 7.53 (d , J = 9.2 Hz, 2H), 7.31 (d, J = 7.6 Hz, 1 H), 7.08 (d, J = 8.8 Hz, 2H), 5.25 (d, J = 4.0 Hz, 1 H), 4.74-4.76 (m, 1 H), 4.43 (dd, J = 6.8, 6.4 Hz, 2H), 3.18 (t, J = 6.4 Hz, 2H), 1.34 (d, J = 6.4 Hz, 3H).

Example 8: The brain plasma ratios of Pioglitazone, MIV, Mill and Mil following oral dosing of a single administration of Pioglitazone at 4.5 mg/kg in male C57BL/6 mice.
The brain-plasma ratio was calculated based on levels of Pioglitazone, MIV, Mill and Mllin plasma and brain quantified at C max (maximal concentration) following oral dosing of a single administration of Pioglitazone at 4.5 mg/kg in male C57BL/6 mice. The percentage brain plasma ratio was 9, 13, 7 and 1 %, respectively, for Pioglitazone, Mil and Mill as shown in the Figure 4. Thus, active metabolites Mill and Mil crossed the BBB at much lower extent than Pioglitazone as it was predicted based on the physicochemical properties of the compounds (see Tablel ). In contrast, unexpectedly metabolite MIV crossed the BBB in a higher percentage than the parent compound Piolgitazone
The calculations of the both indexes (ClogP and QPIogBB) for Pioglitazone and its metabolites Mil and Mill are shown in Table 1 . For both indexes the 2 metabolites are lower than for pioglitazone, suggesting for Mil, and Mill a less favored penetration and distribution within CNS.

https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2018116281A1/enPioglitazone is a “dirty” drug which is converted to many metabolites in vivo. The metabolic pathway of pioglitazone after oral administration has been studied in several animal species and in humans and the metabolites have been described in the literature (see e.g. Sohda et al, Chem. Pharm. Bull., 1995, 43(12), 2168-2172) and Maeshiba et al, Arzneim.-Forsch/Drug Res, 1997, 47 (I), 29-35). At least six metabolites have been identified, named M-I to M-VI. Amongst these metabolites, M-II, M-III and M-IV show some pharmacological activity but are less active than Pioglitazone in diabetic preclinical models.
[0005] 5-[[4-[2-[5-(l-hydroxyethyl)-2-pyridinyl]ethoxy]phenyl]methyl]-2,4- thiazolidinedione has the following structure:

[0006] Tanis et al. (J. Med. Chem. 39(26 ):5053-5063 (1996)) describe the synthesis of 5-[[4-[2-[5-( 1 -hydroxyethyl)-2-pyridinyl]ethoxy]phenyl]methyl]-2,4-thiazolidinedione as follows:Scheme 1

[0007] Tanis et al. describe that the intermediate 14 was obtained in a 27% yield by reacting compound 13 in an aqueous 37% formaldehyde at 170°C for 6 hours. In this process, 5-[[4- [2-[5-( 1 -hydroxyethyl)-2-pyridinyl]ethoxy]phenyl]methyl]-2,4-thiazolidinedione (compound 6 in Scheme 1) was obtained in a 2.47% overall yield.[0008] WO 2015/150476 Al describes the use of 5-[[4-[2-[5-(l-hydroxyethyl)-2- pyridinyl]ethoxy]phenyl]methyl]-2,4-thiazolidinedione, and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, in the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) disorders. WO 2015/150476 Al describes that 5-[[4-[2-[5-(l-hydroxyethyl)-2-pyridinyl]ethoxy]phenyl]methyl]-2,4- thiazolidinedione was prepared according to the process of Tanis et al. (supra) where the intermediate corresponding to compound 14 of Tanis et al. was prepared similarly at 160°C for 5 hours providing a 17% yield. The overall yield of 5-[[4-[2-[5-(l-hydroxyethyl)-2- pyridinyl]ethoxy]phenyl]methyl]-2,4-thiazolidinedione was about 1.5%.[0009] Due to the low yield of the intermediate 2-[5-(l-methoxymethoxy-ethyl)pyridine-2- yl]ethanol, the process step for preparing this intermediate is critical for the overall yield of the product, 5-[[4-[2-[5-(l-hydroxyethyl)-2-pyridinyl]ethoxy]phenyl]methyl]-2,4- thiazolidinedione. In addition, the prior art process to obtain compound 14 is difficult to scale because the reaction is carried out in a pressure vessel at a very high temperature and it is a very dirty reaction.[0010] Accordingly, the processes described in the art afford the product 5-[[4-[2-[5-(l- hydroxyethyl)-2-pyridinyl]ethoxy]phenyl]methyl]-2,4-thiazolidinedione only in a very low overall yield and, therefore, they are not suitable for large scale synthesis. In addition, the prior art process employs CH3OCH2CI, a known carcinogen, for protecting the hydroxyl group in the key intermediate. There is a need for an improved process for synthesizing 5- [[4-[2-[5-(l-hydroxyethyl)-2-pyridinyl]ethoxy]phenyl]methyl]-2,4-thiazolidinedione, and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts.Formula I illustrated by Scheme 2:Scheme 2 r

[0256] In another embodiment in Scheme 3, step c, the order of mixing of the reagents can be as follows: 1. n-BuLi, 2. ethylene oxide, and 3. Cul. This order of mixing is described in Example 2.[0257] In the step a, 2,5-dibromopyridine (1) is reacted with i-PrMgCl in THF and then further with acetaldehyde to obtain compound 2. The reaction mixture is preferably filtered over Celite® after the reaction to remove most of the salts. In one embodiment, the addition of acetaldehyde is conducted at a temperature between -15°C and -10°C to control the exothermic reaction. [0258] In the step b, compound 2 is reacted with TBDMS-C1 in the presence of imidazole having DMF as a solvent. The crude product 3 is advantageously purified by a short plug filtration.[0259] In the step c, the hydroxyl protected compound 3 is reacted with ethylene oxide in the presence of n-BuLi and Cu(I)iodide while maintaining the reaction temperature, i.e., the reaction mixture temperature, below -20°C. In one embodiment, the reaction temperature is maintained below -55°C while adding n-BuLi and Cu(I)iodide into the reaction mixture. In another embodiment, the temperature of the reaction mixture is maintained below -55°C while adding n-BuLi, followed by ethylene oxide and then Cu(I)iodide into the reaction mixture. In another embodiment, the temperature of the reaction mixture is maintained below -55°C while adding n-BuLi into the reaction mixture, followed by ethylene oxide. In this embodiment, Cu(I)iodide is added then into the reaction mixture while the reaction mixture temperature is maintained below -20°C, and preferably below -55 °C. The reaction mixture is then allowed to slowly warm to room temperature after the addition of the reagents and stirred at room temperature, e.g., 20-25°C, overnight. This process is described in detail in Example 2. After the reaction, the complexed copper is advantageously removed by washing with 10% ammonia. The crude compound 4 can be purified by column chromatography to give >99% pure product with a yield of about 52%.[0260] The following examples are illustrative, but not limiting, of the methods of the present invention.

The upfront prepared ethylene oxide solution was added at once to the reaction mixture, while temperature was around -62°C. Subsequently, copper(I) iodide (962.3 g, 5.05 mol, 0.51 eq) (Acros Organics) was added in portions of 120 g, every 10 min, keeping the temperature between -61°C and -63°C. Stirring was continued for 1 h after addition keeping temperature between -61°C and -63°C. The cooling bath was removed and allowing the temperature to rise to about 15°C and further to 25 °C with a water bath overnight.[0287] Workup: The reaction-mixture was poured into a solution of 1 kg ammonium- chloride in 5 L water and stirred for 30 min, then the layers were separated. The organic layer was washed with aqueous ammonium hydroxide (10%, 2.5 L, 4x) to remove Cu-complex (blue color disappeared). The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated to give 3.12 kg (max. 9.90 mol) crude compound 4 as a brown oil. The crude compound was purified over 20 kg silica (heptane/EtOAc) by eluting with 80 L heptane/EtOAc, 20 L EtOAc, 25 L EtOAc/MeOH 95/5, 25 L EtOAc/MeOH 9/1 and 10 L EtOAc/MeOH 8/2, to give 1.47 kg of purified compound 4 (5.22 mol) as a brown oil (with tendency to solidify) in a 52.7% average molar yield (HPLC-purity of 99.5%).

After the addition, the reaction mixture was allowed to reach room temperature in 0.5 h and stirred at this temperature for 18 h. Water (7.3 L) was then added and the mixture was mixed well. Once the solids were dissolved, the layers were allowed to settle and the organic layer was separated. This organic phase was washed with water (5.7 L, 2x), followed by washing with a solution of sodium chloride (57 g) in water (5.7 L). The solvents were concentrated at reduced pressure to an amount of 2.5 kg of a brown oil (compound 5).[0292] To this well stirred brown oil were added subsequently ethanol (7.8 L), water (0.86L), 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (0.88 kg) and potassium carbonate (1.17 kg) and then the mixture was heated at 75 °C for 18 h. Then, the solvent was evaporated while adding toluene (7.7 L) during 6 h and then the reaction mixture was allowed to cool. At 30°C, water (7.6 L) was added, stirred until all solids were dissolved and the mixture was cooled to room temperature. The layers were allowed to settle and separated. The organic layer was washed with water (7.6 L). The first aqueous extract was extracted with toluene (2.8 L) and this organic extract was used to also extract the aqueous washing. The organic extracts were combined and concentrated under vacuum to give 3.49 kg of a black oil (crude title compound 6).[0293] 1.73 kg of this black oil was dissolved in ethanol (0.74 L) and added to a well stirred solution of sodium bisulfite (1.36 kg) in a mixture of water (3.27 L) and ethanol (0.74 L). The container of the black oil was rinsed with ethanol (0.37 L) twice and these two rinses were also added to the bisulfite reaction mixture. After 75 min, heptane (5.3 L) was added, well mixed for 5 min, and the layers were allowed to settle and separated. To the organic layer was added a solution of sodium bisulfite (0.55 kg) in water (2.65 L), and ethanol (1.06 L). After stirring for 30 min, the layers were allowed to settle and separated. The two bisulfide aqueous extracts were combined and flasks rinsed with water (2.12 L). Next, toluene (4.5 L) and heptane (4.5 L) were added, the mixture was well stirred and the pH was adjusted to 12 using sodium hydroxide (10% aq) (temperature became 32°C). After stirring for an additional 5 min, the layers were allowed to settle and separated at 30°C. The aqueous layer was extracted with a mixture of toluene (1.5 L) and heptane (3.0 L). The layers were separated and the organic layers were combined. The combined organic layers were washed with water (5 L, 2x) and concentrated under vacuum to give the purified title compound 6. This procedure was repeated with another 1.73 kg of the black oil (crude title compound 6) to give in total 2.77 kg of 4-[2-[5-[[[(l,l-dimethylethyl)dimethylsilyl]oxy]ethyl]-2- pyridinyl]ethoxy]-benzaldehyde (6) as brown oil which contained 24% m/m of toluene according to 1H NMR (yield = 80%, calculated from compound 4 and corrected for residual toluene).

After 25 h, the reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature. The mixture was kept at pH 5-6 by adjusting it with acetic acid, if necessary. After a night at room temperature, water (1.56 L) was added and the suspension was stirred at room temperature for additional 2 h. The solids were isolated by filtration, washed with methanol (1 L, 2x) and dried under vacuum to give crude compound 7 (1.65 kg).

Then the suspension was put under a nitrogen atmosphere by applying the sequence of vacuum and flushing with nitrogen (4x). Thereafter, the suspension was heated to 30°C. Then, a stock solution of sodium borohydride was prepared by dissolving sodium borohydride (2.7 g) in a mixture of water (15.8 mL) and a solution of sodium hydroxide (1 N aq, 3.5 mL), which was put under a nitrogen atmosphere by applying a sequence of vacuum and flushing with nitrogen (3x). This was added to the suspension of compound 7 at a rate of 4.5 mL/h.

Next, 3 h 45 min after start of addition, the addition of sodium borohydride and acetic acid were stopped. The mixture was allowed to cool down to room temperature and acetone (2.5 mL) was added over a period of 1 minute. After stirring the reaction mixture for 15 min acetic acid was added until the pH was 5.5-6.0 (about 3 mL required).
