MIANSERIN

Mianserin3Dan2.gif

Mianserin 2D structure.svg

MIANSERIN

Mianserin (brand names: Depnon (IN), Lantanon (ZA), Lerivon (AR, BE, CZ, PL, RU, SK), Lumin (AU), Norval (UK), Tolvon (AU, HK, IE,NZ, SG), Tolmin (DK); where † indicates discontinued products) is a psychoactive drug of the tetracyclic antidepressant (TeCA) therapeutic family. It is classified as a noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant (NaSSA) and has antidepressant,anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), hypnotic (sedating), antiemetic (nausea and vomiting-attenuating), orexigenic (appetite-stimulating), andantihistamine effects.

It is not approved for use in the US, but its analogue, mirtazapine, is. Mianserin was the first antidepressant to reach the UK market that was less dangerous than the tricyclic antidepressants in overdose.[3]

Medical uses

When used for the treatment of depression, its efficacy appears comparable to that of amitriptyline, citalopram, clomipramine,dothiepin, doxepin, fluoxetine, flupenthixol, fluvoxamine, imipramine, moclobemide, nortriptyline, paroxetine, and trazodone.[1][4]Mianserin received TGA approval in May 1996.[5]

Similarly to its analogue, mirtazapine, mianserin has been tried as an augmentation strategy in treatment-resistant depression with some success.[6] Mianserin has been tried, similarly to mirtazapine, as an adjunct in schizophrenia and has been found to reduce negative and cognitive symptoms.[7][8][9]

Mianserin has demonstrated efficacy as a monotherapy for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease psychosis in an open-label clinical trial.[10]

Interactions

CYP2D6 inhibitors such as the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), quinidine, ritonavir, etc. would likely raise plasma levels of mianserin and hence could lead to mianserin toxicity. Conversely, CYP2D6 inducers would likely lead to reduced mianserin plasma concentrations and hence potentially diminish the therapeutic effects of mianserin.[1]

Withdrawal

Abrupt or rapid discontinuation of mianserin may provoke a withdrawal, the effects of which may include depression, anxiety, panic attacks,[14] decreased appetite or anorexia,insomnia, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, and flu-like symptoms, such as allergies or pruritus, among others.

Pharmacology

Mianserin is an antagonist/inverse agonist of the H1, 5-HT1D, 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, 5-HT2C, 5-HT3, 5-HT6, 5-HT7, α1-adrenergic, and α2-adrenergic receptors, and also inhibits thereuptake of norepinephrine.[16][17] As a high affinity H1 receptor inverse agonist, mianserin has strong antihistamine effects (sedation, weight gain, etc.). Contrarily, it has negligible affinity for the mACh receptors, and thus lacks anticholinergic properties. It was recently found to be a weak (Ki = 1.7 μM, EC50 = 0.53 μM) κ-opioid receptor partial agonist.[18]

In addition, mianserin also appears to be a potent antagonist of the neuronal octopamine receptor.[19] What implications this may have on mood are currently unknown, however octopamine has been implicated in the regulation of sleep, appetite and insulin production and therefore may theoretically contribute to the overall side effect profile of mianserin.[20][21]

Blockade of the H1 and α1-adrenergic receptors has sedative effects,[2] and also antagonism of the 5-HT2A and α1-adrenergic receptors inhibits activation of intracellularphospholipase C (PLC), which seems to be a common target for several different classes of antidepressants.[22] By antagonizing the somatodendritic and presynaptic α2-adrenergic receptors which function predominantly as inhibitory autoreceptors and heteroreceptors, mianserin disinhibits the release of norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, andacetylcholine in various areas of the brain and body.

Enantioselectivity

SYN 1

The title compound has been synthesized by several procedures. Acylation of 2-benzylaniline (I) by chloroacetyl chloride (II) gave chloroacetamide (III). Subsequent cyclization of amide (III) under Vilsmeier conditions furnished the dibenzoazepine (IV). Nucleophilic substitution of the chlorine atom of (IV) by methylamine led to amine (V). The imine function of (V) was reduced with either LiAlH4 or NaBH4 to the diamine (VI), which was further converted into the fused diketopiperazine (VII) upon heating with diethyl oxalate. The amide groups of (VII) were then reduced by means of borane in THF, yielding the target tetracyclic diamine, which was finally isolated as the corresponding hydrochloride salt……US 3534041

SYN 2

In a further procedure, styrene oxide (XV) was condensed with 2-(benzylamino)ethanol (XXVIII) to give amino diol (XXIX). After chlorination of (XXIX) using SOCl2 and DMAP, dichloro derivative (XXX) was condensed with 2-aminobenzyl alcohol (X) yielding piperazine (XXXI). Cyclization of (XXXI) in hot sulfuric acid afforded the tetracyclic compound (XXXII). The N-benzyl group of (XXXII) was then removed by treatment with butyl chloroformate producing carbamate (XXXIII), which was further hydrolyzed and decarboxylated to (XXXIV) under basic conditions. Finally, methylation of the secondary amine (XXXIV) was performed by reductive alkylation with formaldehyde either in the presence of formic acid under Leuckart-Wallach conditions or by catalytic hydrogenation

DE 4305659; EP 0612745

SYN 3

In a different method, reaction of styrene oxide (XV) with methylamine provided amino alcohol (XVI), which was further condensed with ethylene oxide (XVII) to afford amino diol (XVIII). Alternatively, diol (XVIII) was prepared by a more direct procedure by condensation of epoxide (XV) with 2-(methylamino)ethanol (XIX). Chlorination of (XVIII) employing SOCl2 yielded the dichloro derivative (XX), which was subsequently condensed with 2-aminobenzyl alcohol (X) leading to piperazine (XXI). Cyclization of (XXI) to the title compound was accomplished by treatment with hot polyphosphoric acid. Optionally, alcohol (XXI) was converted to chloride (XXII), which was then cyclized in the presence of AlCl3. In a related method, alcohol (XXI) was esterified with AcOH, and the resultant acetate ester (XXIII) was then cyclized in the presence of polyphosphoric acid……US 4217452

 

The key intermediate (XXI) was also prepared by several related procedures. Chlorination of aminoalcohol (XVI) gave chloro amine (XXIV), which was condensed with 2-aminobenzyl alcohol (X) to afford diamine (XXV). Then, alkylation of diamine (XXV) with dibromoethane (XIII) in hot pyridine gave rise to the target piperazine (XXI). Alternatively, diamine (XXV) was condensed with ethyl chloroacetate or with diethyl oxalate to produce the mono- or dioxopiperazines (XXVII) and (XXVI), respectively, which were then reduced to (XXI) by means of LiAlH4. Cyclization of alcohol (XXI) to the title compound was achieved by treatment with concentrated sulfuric acid

 

SYN5

FR 2647114

Treatment of alpha-chlorophenylacetyl chloride (VIII) with methylamine provided the corresponding chloro amide (IX), which was subsequently condensed with 2-aminobenzyl alcohol (X) to afford amino alcohol (XI). Cyclization of (XI) in the presence of AlCl3 led to the dibenzoazepine (XII). This was converted to the tetracyclic compound (XIV) by reaction with dibromoethane (XIII) in the presence of Na2CO3. Reduction of the amide carbonyl group of (XIV) by means of LiAlH4 furnished the title compound. In a related strategy, amide (XII) was initially reduced to diamine (VI) by using LiAlH4. Subsequent condensation of (VI) with dibromoethane (XIII) led to the target tetracyclic derivative

NIZATIDINE

Nizatidine is a histamine H2 receptor antagonist that inhibits stomach acid production, and is commonly used in the treatment of peptic ulcer disease and gastroesophageal reflux disease. It was developed by Eli Lilly and is marketed under the brand names Tazac and Axid.

Clinical use

Main article: H2 antagonist

Nizatidine is used to treat duodenal ulcers, gastric ulcers, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD/GORD), and to prevent stress ulcers.[1]

Adverse effects

Side effects are uncommon, usually minor, and include diarrhea, constipation, fatigue, drowsiness, headache, and muscle aches.[1]

History and development

Nizatidine was developed by Eli Lilly, and was first marketed in 1987. It is considered to be equipotent with ranitidine and differs by the substitution of a thiazole ring in place of the furan ring in ranitidine. In September 2000, Eli Lilly announced they would sell the sales and marketing rights for Axid to Reliant Pharmaceuticals.[2] Subsequently, Reliant developed the oral solution of Axid, marketing this in 2004, after gaining approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).[3] However, a year later, they sold rights of the Axid Oral Solution (including the issued patent[4] protecting the product) to Braintree Laboratories.[5]
Nizatidine proved to be the last new histamine H2 receptor antagonist introduced prior to the advent of proton pump inhibitors.’

Nizatidine, the systematic chemical name of which is N-[2-[[[2-[ imemylammo)memyl]-4-tl iazolyl]memyl]mio]e yl]–N’- methyl-2-nitro-l,l-ethenecliamine, which has the formula (I).This compound is a histamine H2-receptor antagonist which is useful as anti- ulcer agents capable of inmbiting gastric acid secretion in mammals.

United States Patent No. 4,375,547; 4587344, 4777260; 4,904,792 and 5334725 discloses Nizatidine and other related products. The synthesis of nizatidine disclosed in US patent No. 4,904,792 involves a multi-step process. The first step of the process comprises reacting dimethylaminotmoacetamide hydrochloride with ethyl bromopyruvate to obtain 2-(dinιethylaminon ethyl)-4-thiazolecarboxylate. Reduction of this 4- tbiazolecarboxylate derivative with lithium triethylborohydride gives 2-
(<-Umethylaminoπιethyl)-4-tI-ύazolenιethanol, which is then converted into 4- (2-ammoetϊhyl)ti omethyl-2-d by reacting with
2-aminoethanethiol hydrochloride (cysteamine hydrochloride). This 2- ό-imetihylan-ιinoπιethylthiazol derivative is then converted into Nizatidine by reacting .with N-met-hyl-l-methyltHo-2-mt-coet-hyleneamine in the presence of an acid United States Patent No. 4,382,090 describes a method to prepare 4-
(2-aminoethyl)tMome1_hyl-2-din ethylaminon etihyltl iazol by fusing 4- cmoronιe yl-2-d- nethylaminonιet-hylthiazole with cysteamine hydrochloride at above 100 °C.
United States Patent No. 4,468,517 described a method to prepare 4- cldoronιethyl-2-<-ιimethylaminon et-hylt-lιiazole. The method described in this patent involved reaction of dimet-hylaminotmoacetamide hydrochloride with 1,3-dichloroacetone in haloalkane (1,2-dichloroethane) as a solvent to obta 4-cHoromethyl^-hydroxy-2-dimet^ This 2-thiazoline derivative is then dehydrated with a dehydrating agent like PC13, PBr3, SOCl2, POCl3 etc., to get 4-chloromethyl-2- din etihyl-in monietihylthiazole.
European Patent Application EP 0,515,121 and EP 0,960,880 describe the process for the preparation of 2-(dim.et-hylarninomethyl)-4- thiazolemethanol. The process consists of reacting (-Umethylaminothioacetamide hydrochloride with 1,3-dichloroacetone in toluene to get 4-chlorometiιyl-4-hyαioxy-2-d-methylaminomethyl-2- thiazoline, which is then reacted with alkali metal base in an inert solvent such as toluene to get 2-(dimethylam-m.omethyl)-4-thiazolemethanol.
The methods described in United States Patent No. 4,468,517 for the synthesis of 4-chloromethyl-4-hy( oxy-2-dimethyl-ui-momethyl-2- thiazoline, requires complete evaporation of the solvent 1,2-dichloroethane to get the crude product; it is then washed with ethyl acetate to obtain a pure product. Evaporation of the solvent to complete dryness is an inconvenient and inappropriate operation in large-scale manufacturing. Such evapprations in large-scale operations would produce the solids as lumps; further washing such lumps with solvents would be ineffective due to improper -mixing of -the solid -with solvent. The method described in EP 0,515,121 and EP 0,960,880 for the synthesis of 4-cHorometlιyl-4-hyc oxy*-2-α_im requires isolation of the product from the reaction mixture by precipitation of the product from the mother liquor by the addition of petroleum ether. The crude product obtained by the precipitation is then subjected to an additional purification step by crystallisation from toluene.
A number of procedures are described for the preparation of dimethylammotmoacetamide. Examples are Japanese Patent No. JP 62,273,948, JP 62,273,949, JP 02,264,755 and Org. Prep. Proced. Int., 1992, 24, P.66-7. All the procedures described in the literature- or the preparation of dirnethylaminotitioacetamide from dimethylam oacetomtrile involve the use of hydrogen sulfide under pressure in the presence of promoters or catalysts. The disadvantage with the use of hydrogen sulfide is the difficulty it poses in handling commercial quantities, as it is a very toxic gas. The object of the present invention is to provide an improved manufactxiring process for 4-chloromethyl-4-hydr xy-2- di–netihylam omethyl-2-tibiazoline..

The cyclization of dimethylaminothioacetamide (I) with ethyl bromopyruvate (II) in refluxing ethanol gives ethyl 2-(dimethylaminomethyl)-4-thiazolecarboxylate (III), which is reduced with lithium triethyl borohydride in THF yielding 2-(dimethylaminomethyl)-4-thiazolemethanol (IV). The condensation of (IV) with 2-aminoethanethiol (V) by means of 48% HBr affords 2-(dimethylaminomethyl)-4-(2-aminoethylthiomethyl)thiazole (VI), which is finally condensed with 1-(methylthio)-2-nitro-N-methylethyleneamine (VII) in water.

Vasicine (peganine) is a quinazoline alkaloid. It is the active compound of Justicia adhatoda, after which the chemical is named.

Vasicine has been compared to theophylline both in vitro and in vivo.[1] It has also been studied in combination with the related alkaloid vasicinone. Both the alkaloids in combination (1:1) showed pronounced bronchodilatory activity in vivo and in vitro.[2] Both alkaloids are also respiratory stimulants.[2] Vasicine has a cardiac–depressant effect, while vasicinone is a weak cardiac stimulant; the effect can be normalized by combining the alkaloids.[2][3] Vasicine is reported to have a uterine stimulant effect.[3]

Vasicine

Synonym Peganine

Biological Sources It is obtained from the leaves of Adhatoda vasica (L.) Nees (Acanthaceae) (Malabar Nut, Adotodai, Paveltia); and the seeds of Peganum harmala L. (Rutaceae) (Harmel, Syrian Rue, African Rue).

Chemical Structure

1, 2, 3, 9-Tetrahydropyrrolo [2, 1-b] quinazoline-3-ol; (C11H12N2O).

Isolation It is isolated from the leaves of Adhatoda vasica* and also from the seeds of Peganum harmala** by adopting the standard methods of isolation described earlier in this chapter.

Characteristic Features

dl-Form: 1. It is obtained as needles from ethanol having mp 210°C.

  1. It sublimes on being subjected to high vacuum.
  2. It is soluble in acetone, alcohol, chloroform; and slightly soluble in water, ether and

benzene.

l-Form: 1. It is obtained as needles from ethanol with mp 212°C.

  1. Its specific rotation [α ]D14-2540(C = 2.4 in CHCl3); [α ]D14–14  62° (C = 2.4 in ethanol).

Note: In dilute HCl it is obtained as its dextrorotatory form.

Identification Tests

  1. Hydrochloride dihydrate derivative is obtained as needles having mp 208°C (dry).
  2. Hydroiodide dihydrate derivative is formed as needles with mp 195°C (dry).
  3. Methiodide derivative is obtained as needles from methanol having mp 187°C.
  4. Acetyl vasicine derivative (C11H11N2O COCH3) is formed as crystals having mp 123°C and bp0.01 230-240°C.

Uses

  1. It is mostly used as an expectorant and bronchodilator.
  2. It also shows oxytocic properties very similar to those exhibited by oxytocin and methyl ergometrine.
  3. Vasicine also shows abortifacient action which is due to the release of prostaglandins.

Biosynthesis of Vasicine Various studies in Peganum harmala have evidently revealed vasicine (peganine) to be derived from the anthranilic acid, while the remaining portion of the structure comprising of a pyrrolidine ring provided by ornithine. The probable mechanism of vasicine skeleton may be explained by virtue of the nucleophilic attack from the N-atom present in anthranilate upon the pyrrolidinium cation, ultimately followed by amide formation. However, interestingly this pathway is not being adopted in Justicia adhatoda.

Effective respiratory care

Vasaka (Malabar Nut Tree/Adhatoda zeylanica) is well known in Ayurveda for its beneficial effects in respiratory ailments, particularly as an expectorant in bronchitis. The leaves, flowers, fruits and roots are used extensively for treating cold, cough, whooping-cough, chronic bronchitis and asthma.

Vasaka grows throughout India, up to an altitude of 1,300 meters.

Active constituents:

Vasaka contains the pyrroquinazoline alkaloids, including vasicine, vasicol and vasinone along with other minor constituents. Vasicine and vasinone are the major bioactive constituents of Vasaka which have bronchodilatory and antitussive properties.

The alkaloids present in the plant show significant protection against allergen-induced bronchial obstruction.

Herb Functions:

Respiratory care: Vasaka exhibits anti-inflammatory, antitussive and bronchodilatory action which eases congestion and coughing by helping loosen and thin mucus in airways. Vasaka relieves dyspnea by dilating the airways and improves overall lung functions. The herb is an excellent supportive therapy for symptomatic relief in tuberculosis and pulmonary infections.

Indications

  • Productive cough
  • Bronchitis
  • Bronchial asthma

Contraindications:

None

Recommended dose:

One capsule, twice a day or as directed by your physician

Composition:

Each capsule contains 250mg extract of Vasaka

Note: Since Himalaya’s Pure Herbs are in capsule form, some children below 14 years may find it difficult to swallow them. For this reason, Pure Herbs are recommended for children ages 14 and above.

Talazoparib (BMN-673) is an investigational drug that acts as a PARP inhibitor. It is in clinical trials for various cancers.

Talazoparib.png

Medivation, under license from BioMarin Pharmaceuticals, following its acquisition of LEAD Therapeutics, is developing a PARP-1/2 inhibitor, talazoparib, for treating cancer, particularly BRCA-mutated breast cancer. In February 2016, talazoparib was reported to be in phase 3 clinical development

Talazoparib, also known as BMN-673, is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of the nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) with potential antineoplastic activity (PARP1 IC50 = 0.57 nmol/L). BMN-673 selectively binds to PARP and prevents PARP-mediated DNA repair of single strand DNA breaks via the base-excision repair pathway. This enhances the accumulation of DNA strand breaks, promotes genomic instability and eventually leads to apoptosis. PARP catalyzes post-translational ADP-ribosylation of nuclear proteins that signal and recruit other proteins to repair damaged DNA and is activated by single-strand DNA breaks. BMN-673 has been proven to be highly active in mouse models of human cancer and also appears to be more selectively cytotoxic with a longer half-life and better bioavailability as compared to other compounds in development. Check for active clinical trials or closed clinical trials using this agent.

Talazoparib is C19H14F2N6O.

Talazoparib tosylate is C26H22F2N6O4S.[1]

Abstract

Abstract Image

We discovered and developed a novel series of tetrahydropyridophthlazinones as poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) 1 and 2 inhibitors. Lead optimization led to the identification of (8S,9R)-47 (talazoparib; BMN 673; (8S,9R)-5-fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-2,7,8,9-tetrahydro-3H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3-one). The novel stereospecific dual chiral-center-embedded structure of this compound has enabled extensive and unique binding interactions with PARP1/2 proteins. (8S,9R)-47 demonstrates excellent potency, inhibiting PARP1 and PARP2 enzyme activity with Ki = 1.2 and 0.87 nM, respectively. It inhibits PARP-mediated PARylation in a whole-cell assay with an EC50 of 2.51 nM and prevents proliferation of cancer cells carrying mutant BRCA1/2, with EC50 = 0.3 nM (MX-1) and 5 nM (Capan-1), respectively. (8S,9R)-47 is orally available, displaying favorable pharmacokinetic (PK) properties and remarkable antitumor efficacy in the BRCA1 mutant MX-1 breast cancer xenograft model following oral administration as a single-agent or in combination with chemotherapy agents such as temozolomide and cisplatin. (8S,9R)-47 has completed phase 1 clinical trial and is currently being studied in phase 2 and 3 clinical trials for the treatment of locally advanced and/or metastatic breast cancer with germline BRCA1/2 deleterious mutations.

Preparation of (8S,9R)-5-Fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-2,7,8,9-tetrahydro-3H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3-one Tosylate Salt ((8S,9R)-47 Tosylate Salt)

A suspension of (8S,9R)-47 (BMN 673) (400 mg, 1.05 mmol) in a mixture of acetone (27 mL) and THF (13 mL) was heated to reflux until the suspension became clear. TsOH (220 mg, 1.16 mmol) was then added to the solution. White solids started to precipitate out from the solution shortly after the addition of TsOH. After stirring at 25 °C for 30 min, the mixture was filtered to collect the white crystal solids, which were washed with a mixture of acetone (10 mL) and 1,4-dioxane (4 mL) and then dried under vacuum at 45 °C for 3 days. This afforded the product as a white crystalline solid (540 mg, yield 93%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ (ppm) 2.29 (s, 3H), 3.67 (s, 3H), 4.97–5.06 (m, 2H), 6.91–6.94 (dd, J1 = 2.0 Hz, J2 = 10.8 Hz, 1H), 7.06–7.19 (m, 5H), 7.19–7.51 (m, 4H), 7.74 (s, 1H), 7.87 (s, 1H), 10.32 (brs, 1H), 12.36 (s, 1H).

Compound 47 was dissolved in DMF, and chiral resolution was performed using supercritical-fluid chromatography (SFC) with a CHIRALPAK IA chiral column and methanol (20% with 0.1% DEA) and CO2 (80%) as the eluents. Yield 90%. For (8S,9R)-47 (BMN 673): retention time 8.8 min and ee 99.3%. For (8R,9S)-47: retention time 10.2 min and ee 99.2%.
Alternatively, compound (8S,9R)-47 could also be made using (2S,3R)-60a as a starting material and employing the same procedure described for the conversion of 60a to 47.
The optical rotation for both (8S,9R)-47 and (8R,9S)-47 was measured using a RUDOLPH (AUTOPOL V) automatic polarimeter at a concentration of 6.67 mg/mL in MeOH/MeCN/DMF = 0.5:0.5:1 at 20 °C. The specific rotation for (8S,9R)-47 was +92.2°, whereas it was −93.4° for (8R,9S)-47.

The compound (85,9R)-5-fluoro-8-(4-fluorophenyl)-9-(l-methyl-lH-l,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-8,9-dihydro-2H-pyrido[4,3,2-de]phthalazin-3(7H)-one toluenesulfonate salt (Compound (A))

Compound (A)

is an inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP). Methods of making it are described in WO2010017055, WO2011097602, and WO2012054698. However, the disclosed synthetic routes require chiral chromatography of one of the synthetic intermediates in the route to make Compound (A), methyl 7-fluoro-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(l -methyl- lH-1, 2,4-triazol-5-yl)-4-oxo- 1 ,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-5-carboxylate (Intermediate (A)),

Intermediate (A)

to yield the chirally pure (2S,35)-methyl 7-fluoro-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(l-methyl-lH- 1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-4-oxo-l,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-5-carboxylate (Compound (1))

Compound (1).

Using conventional chiral chromatography is often solvent and time intensive.

Use of more efficient chromatography methods, such as simulated moving bed (SMB) chromatography still requires the use of expensive chiral chromatography resins, and is not practical on a large scale to purify pharmaceutical compounds. Also, maintaining

Compound (1) in solution for an extended time period during chromatography can lead to epimerization at the 9-position and cleavage of the methyl ester group in Compound (1). Replacing the chromatography step with crystallization step(s) to purify Compound (1) is desirable and overcomes these issues. Therefore, it is desirable to find an alternative to the use of chiral chromatography separations to obtain enantiomeric Compound (1).

Scheme 1 below describes use of Ac49 as a coformer acid for the preparation of Compound (la) and for the chiral resolution of Compound (1).

Seeding was then performed with Compound (la) (95% e.e., 5 mg, 0.1% w.) and the system was allowed to equilibrate for about 1 hour at 50 °C, was cooled to about 20 °C at 0.15 °C/min, and then equilibrated at 20 °C for 2 hours. The solid phase was isolated by filtration, washed with ethanol, and dried at about 50 °C and 3 mbar for about 2 to 3 hours to yield Compound (la) as a 0.6 molar equiv. EtOH solvate and 0.6 molar equiv. hydrate (93.4% e.e.).

Step lb

Compound (la) was then suspended in MIBK/ethanol 95/5% by volume (38 mL, 10 vol.) at 50 °C with stirring. After about 2 hours at 50 °C, the suspension was cooled to about 5 °C for 10 to 15 hours. The solid phase was recovered by filtration and dried at about 50 °C and 3 mbar for about 3 hours. Compound (la) (97.4% e.e.) was recovered. Step 2

000138] Compound (1) was released by suspending Compound (la) (3.9 g, 5.5 mmoi), without performing the optional reslurrying in Step 1, in 20 mL of water at room temperature and treating with 5M sodium hydroxide in water (1.3 mL, 1.2 mol). The mixture was kept at room temperature for about 15 hours and the solid was isolated by filtration and dried at 50 °C and 3 mbar for about 3 hours. Compound (1) was recovered (94.4% e.e.).

Example 3 – Large Scale Preparation of Compound (1) Using Scheme 1

The procedure of Example 1 was followed using 3.3 kg of Intermediate (A) and the respective solvent ratios to provide 95.7% e.e. in Step la; 99.2% e.e. in Step lb; and 99.2% e.e. in Step 2.

Example 4 – Alternative Preparation of Compound (1) Using Scheme 1

Step la

Intermediate (A) (751 mg, 1.86 mmol)) was dissolved in 9: 1 v/v

MIBK/ethanol (7.5 mL, 10 vol.) at 50 °C with stirring. [(15)-eni o]-(+)-3-bromo-10-camphor sulfonic acid monohydrate (620 mg, 1.88 mmol, 1 equiv.) was added. Formation of a precipitate was observed at about 1 hour at 50 °C. The system was then cooled to about 5 °C at 0.1 °C/min, and then equilibrated at 5 °C for about 60 hours. The solid phase was isolated by filtration and dried at about 50 °C and 3 mbar for about 2 hours to yield

Compound (la)(92% e.e.). See Figures 1-4 for XRPD (Figure 1), chiral HPLC (Figure 2), Ή NMR (Figure 3), and TGA/DSC analyses (Figure 4). The XRPD pattern from the material in Example 3 is similar to that in Example 1 with some slight shifts in the positions of specific diffraction peaks (highlighted by black arrows in Figure l). The ‘H NIVIR was consistent with a mono-salt of Compound (la) containing 0.5 molar equivalent of EtOH and 0.6% by weight residual MIBK. The TGA analysis showed a stepwise mass loss of 3.5% between 25 and 90 °C (potentially representing loss of the 0.5 molar equivalent of EtOH) and a gradual mass loss of 1.2% between 90 and 160 °C (potentially representing the loss of adsorbed water). The DSC analysis had a broad endotherm between 25 and 90 °C

representing desolvation and an endotherm at 135 °C representing melt/degradation.

Step lb

Compound (la) (100.3 mg, 0.141 mmol) was re-suspended in 95:5 v/v MIBK EtOH (1 mL, 10 vol.) at 50 °C and stirred for 1 hour before cooling to 5 °C at

0.1 °C/min. The solid (99.4% e.e.) was recovered by filtration after 1 night at 5 °C. Shifts in the XRPD diffraction peaks were no longer detected (Figure 5; compare Figure 1). Figure 6 shows the chiral HPLC for Compound (la).

Step 2

Compound (la) (100.2 mg, 0.141 mmol) from Step la was suspended in water (2 mL, 20 vol.) at 50 °C and 5 M NaOH in water (34 μL·, 1.2 molar equiv) was added. The resulting suspension was kept at 50 °C for one night, cooled to room temperature

(uncontrolled cooling) and filtered to yield Compound (1) (92% e.e.). The chiral purity was not impacted by this step and no [(15)-enJo]-(+)-3-bromo-10-camphor sulfonic acid was detected by NMR. Figure 7 compares the XRPD of Compound (1) in Step 2 with

Intermediate (A), the starting material of Step 1. Figure 8 shows the NMR of Compound (1) in Step 2 with Intermediate (A), the starting material of Step 1.

Example 5 – Alternative Preparation of Compound (1) Using Scheme 1 Step la

000144] Intermediate (A) (1 equiv.) was added with stirring to a solution of MIBK (12-13 vol), ethanol (1-1.5 vol), and water (0.05-0.10 vol) and the reaction was heated within 15 minutes to an internal temperature of about 48 °C to about 52 °C . [(lS)-endo]-(+)-3-bromo- 10-camphor sulfonic acid (1 equiv) was added and the reaction was stirred for about 5-10 mins at an internal temperature of about 48 °C to about 52 °C until dissolution occurred. Seed crystals of Compound (la) were added and the reaction was allowed to proceed for 1 hour at an internal temperature of about 48 °C to about 52 °C. The reaction was cooled at a rate of 0.15 °C /min to about 19-21 °C. The suspension was stirred for 2 hours at an internal temperature of about 19 °C to 21 °C and then was collected by filtration and washed twice with ethanol. The product was characterized by 1H NMR and 13C NMR (Figures 13a and 13b), IR Spectrum (Figure 14), DSC (Figure 15), and chiral HPLC (Figure 16).

Step 2a

To Compound (la) (1 equiv.) was added acetone (1.1 vol), IPA (0.55 vol), and methanol (0.55 vol) and the reaction was heated to an internal temperature of about 38 °C to 42 °C. Aqueous ammonia (25%) (1.3 equiv) was added and the reaction was stirred for about 10 minutes. The pH of the reaction was confirmed and the next step performed if > 7. Water was added (0.55 vol), the reaction was cooled to an internal temperature of about 35 °C, seed crystals of Compound (1) were added, and the reaction was stirred for about 10 mins. Water was added (3.3 vol) dropwise within about 30 minutes, the suspension was cooled within 30 minutes to an internal temperature of about 0 °C to 5 °C, and the reaction was stirred for 15 minutes. The solid was collected by filtration and washed three times with water.

Step 2b

To the product of Step 2a) was added acetone (4 vol), ΓΡΑ (1 vol), and methanol (1 vol) and the reaction was heated to an internal temperature of about 38 °C to 42 °C resulting in a clear solution. Water (2 vol) and seed crystals of Compound (1) were added and the system was stirred for about 15 minutes at an internal temperature of about 35 °C. Water (342 mL) was added dropwise in about 30 minutes. The suspension was then cooled in 30 min to an internal temperature of about 0 °C to 5 °C and was stirred for an additional 15 minutes. The solid was collected by filtration, washed twice with water, and chiral purity was determined. If > 99% e.e., then the solid was dried at an internal temperature of about 60 °C under reduced pressure to yield Compound (1). The product was characterized by Ή NMR (Figure 19), 13C NMR (Figure 20), IR (Figure 21), DSC (Figure 22), chiral HPLC (Figure 23).

Example 6 – Preparation of Compound (1) Using Scheme 2

Step la

Intermediate (A) (102 mg, 0.256 mmol) was dissolved in MIBK (1 mL, 10 vol.) at 65 °C with stirring. (lS)-phenylethanesulfonic acid, prepared using procedures known to one of skill in the art, in MIBK (3.8 M, 80 μί, 1 molar equiv.) was added and a suspension was observed after 30 minutes at 65 °C. The system was kept at 65 °C for another 30 minutes before cooling to 5 °C at 0.1 C/min. After one night at 5 °C, the solid was filtered, dried at 50 °C, 3 mbar pressure for about 2 hours to yield Compound (lb). See Figures 9-12 for XRPD (Figure 9), chiral HPLC (Figure 10), Ή NMR (Figure 11), and TGA/DSC analyses (Figures 12a and 12b). The XRPD diffraction pattern of the solid obtained in Example 5 differed from the XRPD pattern obtained with the solid from in the salt screen of Example 1 and was consistent with the production of different solids in Examples 1 and 5. The Ή NMR was consistent with the mono-salt with a 0.3% by weight residue of dioxane. In Figure 12a, the thermal behavior was consistent with a non-solvated form exhibiting a melt/degradation at 201 °C. Figure 12b compares the melt pattern of Compound (lb) in Example 5 with Compound (lb) in Example 1.

Steps lb and 2 can be carried out using procedures similar to those used in Examples 2-5.

Example 7 – Polymorphism of Compound (la)

Compound (1) (92% e.e., 10 mg, mmol) was placed in 1.5 mL vials and the solvents (1 mL or less) of Table 3 were added at 50 °C until dissolution was achieved. [(1S)-eni o]-(+)-3-bromo-10-camphorsulfonic acid was added as a solid at 50 °C. The samples were kept at 50 °C for about 1 hour prior to being cooled to room temperature overnight

(uncontrolled cooling rate). Clear solutions were successively cooled to 4 °C, -20 °C and evaporated at room temperature. Any gum obtained after evaporation was re-suspended in diethyl ether. The solid phases generated were characterized by XRPD and if relevant, by Ή NMR and TGA/DSC.

Each of the seven solvents in which solvates were observed (heterosolvates not included) were mixed with MIBK (90% vol). Solutions of Intermediate (A) were prepared in the solvent mixtures (10 vol) at 50 C and [(15)-en<io]-(+)-3-bromo-10-camphor sulfonic acid (1 molar equivalent) was added. The resulting clear solutions were cooled to 5 °C at 0.2 C/min. Surprisingly, no crystallization was reported in any sample. Seeding was performed with a few crystals of each solvate at about 25 °C. The solid phases were analyzed by XRPD and the liquid phases were analyzed by chiral HPLC. See Table 4 for a summary of the results (where “Dias 2” is the (2R, 3R) diastereomer of Compound (la)) .

Triethylamine (1.50 kg, 14.8 mol, 1.21 eq.) was then charged into the above reaction mixture. The reaction mixture was stirred for another 10 minutes. Acetic anhydride (9.09 – 9.10 kg, 89.0 – 89.1 mol, 7.30 eq.) was charged into the above reaction mixture at room temperature for 20 – 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was heated from ambient to reflux temperatures (85 – 95 °C) for 80 – 90 minutes, and the mixture was refluxed for another 70 – 90 minutes. The reaction mixture was monitored by HPLC, indicating compound (2) was reduced to < 5 %. The resulting slurry was cooled down to 5 – 15 °C for 150 – 250 minutes.

Talazoparib (BMN-673) is an orally available poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor currently in development by Pfizer for the treatment of advanced breast cancer patients with germline BRCA mutations.[1] Talazoparib is similar to the first in class PARP inhibitor, olaparib.[2][3] However, talazoparib is thought to be more potent than olaparib.[3]

Mechanism of action

Talazoparib acts as an inhibitor of poly ADP ribose polymerase(PARP) which aids in single strand DNA repair. Cells that have BRCA1/2mutations are susceptible to the cytotoxic effects of PARP inhibitors because of an accumulation of DNA damage.[1] Talazoparib is theorized to have a higher potency than olaparib due to the additional mechanism of action called PARP trapping. PARP trapping is the mechanism of action where the PARP molecule is trapped on the DNA, which interferes with the cells ability to replicate. Talazoparib is found to be ~100 fold more efficient in PARP trapping than olaparib.[4] However, this increased potency may not translate directly to clinical effectiveness as many other factors must be considered.[3][4]

Commercialization

Talazoparib was originally developed by BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. However, Medivation Inc. acquired all worldwide rights to talazoparib in August 2015 to expand their global oncology franchise.[5] Medivation acquired talazoparib for $410 million with additional payments of up to $160 million in royalties and milestones. Under this agreement, Medivation assumed all financial responsibilities for the continued development, regulatory, and commercialization of talazoparib.[5][6]

Clinical trials

As of January 2016, talazoparib is in 14 active clinical trials [7] including a new arm of I-SPY 2.[8] These trials cover a variety of cancers types and combination therapies. The most notable clinical trials are the ABRAZO and EMBRACA studies.

ABRAZO

ABRAZO is a phase II study for the safety and efficacy of treatment of BRCA breast cancer patients with Talazoparib monotherapy. This study is for patients who have failed at least two prior chemotherapy treatments for metastatic breast cancer or been previously treated with a platinum regimen.[6][9][10] The original target enrollment for the study was 70 patients but Biomarin expanded the trial to 140 patients.[9][10] The estimated completion date is December 2016.[10]

EMBRACA

EMBRACA is a phase III study for the treatment of BRCA breast cancer patients with Talazoparib.[11][12][13] This trial is an open-label, randomized, parallel, 2-arm, multi-center comparison of talazaporib against physician’s preference for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Patients must also have received prior chemotherapy regimens for metastatic breast cancer.[12][13] Patients participating in this study are randomly selected for either talazoparib or physician’s choice of chemotherapy at a 2:1 ratio to talazoparib.[6] The target enrollment for the study was 430 patients [12][13] and the estimated completion date is June 2017.[13]

New Website ECA Validation Group: Version 02 of ECA´s Good Practice Guide on Validation online available

The ECA Validation Group was founded in autumn 2011 by representatives of the pharmaceutical industry after ECA´s 4th European GMP Conference. The mission of the group is to assemble knowledge on Validation, for example by continuously developing ECA´s Process Validation Good Practice Guide. Now the Validation Group launched a new website.

Since the ECA Foundation was established back in 1999 its mission has been to provide support to the Pharmaceutical Industry and Regulators to promote the move towards a harmonised set of GMP and regulatory guidelines by providing information and interpretation of new or updated guidances. For that purpose the ECA has initiated and established various working and interest groups concentrating on different topics.

The ECA Validation Group was founded in autumn 2011 by representatives of the pharmaceutical industry after ECA´s 4th European GMP Conference. This group’s mission is to assemble knowledge on Validation, for example by continuously developing ECA´s Process Validation Good Practice Guide.

Now the group launched its new website to provide members and those interested with information and practical tools. Here’s what you can find on the new website:

  • Current News
  • A news archive
  • Training Courses and Validation Conferences
  • ECA´s Process Validation Good Practice Guide
  • Discussion Forum
  • Presentations
  • Useful links
  • Q&A section
  • Membership information

Members of the group have now the opportunity to download the version 2 of  ECA´s Good Practice Guide on Validation free of charge. On 174 pages the revised Good Practice Guide comprises the main elements of the new validation approach (“what to do”). On the other hand, it also serves as a supporting guide for the implementation (“how to do”).

To find out more we invite you to visit the ECA´s Validation Group new website.

Abstract Image

The cognitive impairments observed in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are in part a consequence of reduced acetylcholine (ACh) levels resulting from a loss of cholinergic neurons. Preclinically, serotonin 4 receptor (5-HT4) agonists are reported to modulate cholinergic function and therefore may provide a new mechanistic approach for treating cognitive deficits associated with AD. Herein we communicate the design and synthesis of potent, selective, and brain penetrant 5-HT4 agonists. The overall goal of the medicinal chemistry strategy was identification of structurally diverse clinical candidates with varying intrinsic activities. The exposure–response relationships between binding affinity, intrinsic activity, receptor occupancy, drug exposure, and pharmacodynamic activity in relevant preclinical models of AD were utilized as key selection criteria for advancing compounds. On the basis of their excellent balance of pharmacokinetic attributes and safety, two lead 5-HT4 partial agonist candidates 2d and 3 were chosen for clinical development.

Methyl 2-fluoro-6-hydroxybenzoate (2): To a 20L jacketed reactor were charged 2-fluoro-6-hydroxybenzoic acid (Oakwood Products; 0.972 kg, 6.31 mol), methanol (7.60 L) and sulfuric acid (0.710 kg, 7.24 mol, 1 .15 eq). The jacket temperature was heated to 60°C and the reaction mixture was stirred for 45 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated under vacuum and approximately 7.5 L of methanol distillates were collected. The resulting thin oil was cooled to 20°C. Water (7.60 L) and ethyl acetate (7.60 L) were charged to the reactor, and the product extracted into the organic layer. The EtOAc solution was washed with a solution of sodium bicarbonate (1.52 Kg) in water (6.92 L) followed by a brine solution of sodium chloride (1.74 kg) in water (4.08 L). The resulting EtOAc solution was concentrated to dryness. A light orange oil was isolated; the oil slowly crystallized upon standing to give the title compound (2) (0.952 Kg, 5.60 mol, 89% yield). 1 H NMR (400 MHz, CDCI3) δ ppm 3.97 (s, 3H), 6.59 (ddd, J=10.9, 8.2,1 .2, 1 H), 6.76 (dt, J=8.2, 1 .1 , 1 H), 7.35 (td, J=8.6, 6.3, 1 H), 1 1.24 (s, 1 H); 13C NMR (400 MHz, CDCI3) δ ppm 52.65, 102.56 (d, J=13), 106.90 (d, J=23), 1 13.31 (d, J=3.1 ), 135.34 (d, J=1 1 .5), 161 .02, 163.31 (d, J=62.2), 169.87 (d, 3.8); MS 171.045 (m+1 ). 2-Fluoro-N,6-dihydroxybenzamide (3): To a 50L reactor was charged water (4.47 L) and hydroxylamine sulfate (6.430 kg, 39.17 mol), the mixture was stirred at 25°C.

Abstract Image

A potent 5-HT4 partial agonist, 1 (PF-04995274), targeted for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive impairment, has been prepared on a multi-kilogram scale. The initial synthetic route, that proceeded through a 4-substituted 3-hydroxybenzisoxazole core, gave an undesired benzoxazolinone through a Lossen-type rearrangement. Route scouting led to two new robust routes to the desired 4-substituted core. Process development led to the efficient assembly of the API on a pilot plant scale under process-friendly conditions with enhanced throughput. In addition, crystallization of a hemicitrate salt of the API with pharmaceutically beneficial properties was developed to enable progression of clinical studies.

Activated by a wide range of stimuli such as capsaicin, acid, or heat, the transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV1) has been identified as a potential treatment for chronic pain.TRPV1 is a highly characterized member of the TRP cation channel family believed to be involved in a number of important biological roles and plays a role in the transmission of pain.TRPV1 activation inhibits the transition of pain signals from the periphery to the central nervous system (CNS), leading to the possible development of analgesic and anti-inflammatory agents. TRPV1 antagonists have also been evaluated in multiple clinical trials where hyperthermic effects seen preclinically are also observed in humans

Abstract

Abstract Image

A highly efficient, regioselective five-step synthesis of the TRPV1 antagonist 1 is described. The coupling of piperazine 7 with dichloropyrimidine 8 proceeded via a regioselective Pd-mediated amination affording product 11 in excellent yield. Conversion of the penultimate product 14 afforded 1 through formation of a magnesium ate complex and trapping with CO2.

For Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis,and Cancer

An anti-TGF-beta antibody in phase I clinical trials (2011) for treatment-resistant primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.

A pan-specific, recombinant, fully human monoclonal antibody directed against human transforming growth factor (TGF) -beta 1, 2 and 3 with potential antineoplastic activity. Fresolimumab binds to and inhibits the activity of all isoforms of TGF-beta, which may result in the inhibition of tumor cell growth, angiogenesis, and migration. TGF-beta, a cytokine often over-expressed in various malignancies, may play an important role in promoting the growth, progression, and migration of tumor cells.

 

Fresolimumab (GC1008) is a human monoclonal antibody[1] and an immunomodulator. It is intended for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, and cancer[2][3] (kidney cancer and melanoma).

It binds to and inhibits all isoforms of the protein transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β).[2]

History

Fresolimumab was discovered by Cambridge Antibody Technology (CAT) scientists[4] and was one of a pair of candidate drugs that were identified for the treatment of the fatal condition scleroderma. CAT chose to co-develop the two drugs metelimumab (CAT-192) and fresolimumab with Genzyme. During early development, around 2004, CAT decided to drop development of metelimumab in favour of fresolimumab.[5]

In February 2011 Sanofi-Aventis agreed to buy Genzyme for US$ 20.1 billion.[6]

As of June 2011 the drug was being tested in humans (clinical trials) against IPF, renal disease, and cancer.[7][8] On 13 August 2012, Genzyme applied to begin a Phase 2 clinical trial in primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis[9] comparing fresolimumab versus placebo.

As of July 2014, Sanofi-Aventis continue to list fresolimumab in their research and development portfolio under Phase II development.[10]

To a solution of N-cyclohexyl-N-methyl-4-(pyridm-3-yl)-lH-imidazole-l-carboxamide in dichioromethane at 25°C was added peracetic acid (38%; the concentration is not critical, and may be varied) in a single portion. The reaction mixture was then maintained at 25°C for at least 20 h, whereupon the reaction was washed four times with water (in some embodiments, the water for the extraction step may be supplemented with a small amount (e.g. 1%) of acetic acid, which helps to promote product solubility in the DCM). The dichioromethane solution was then filtered prior to diluting with 2-propanol. Dichioromethane (50%) was then distilled off under atmospheric pressure, whereupon, 2-propanol was charged at the same rate as the distillate was collected. The distillation was continued until >90% of the dichioromethane was collected. The resulting suspension was then cooled to 20°C and aged for at least 30 min. prior to cooling to 0°C and aging for a further 60 min. The reaction mixture was then filtered and the product washed with additional 2-propanol, before drying at 50°C under vacuum to afford the title compound as an off-white crystalline solid.

The purity of the product was ascertained by HPLC, with identity confirmable by NMR. The yield was consistently >80% in several production runs.

To a suspension of 3-(l/ -imidazol-4-yl)pyridine in tetrahydrofuran (THF) containing pyridine at 25°C was slowly added a solution of phenyl chloroformate in THF over 60 to 90 min. The resulting fine white suspension was then maintained at 25°C for at least 60 min. before the addition of N-methyl- -cyclohexylamine in a single portion, causing the suspension to thin and become yellow in colour. The reaction mixture was then stirred for 90 min. before filtering and washing the filter cake with additional THF. The mother liquors were then maintained at 25°C for at least 18 h, whereupon 65% of the volume of THF was distilled off under atmospheric pressure. The resulting solution was then diluted with 2-propanol and maintained at > 50°C for 10 min. prior to cooling down to 20°C. The resulting suspension was aged at 20°C for 15 min. prior to cooling to 0°C and aging for a further 60 min. The reaction mixture was then filtered and the product was washed with additional 2-propanol, before drying at 50°C under vacuum to afford the title compound as an off-white crystalline solid.

The purity of the product was ascertained by HPLC, with identity confirmable by NMR. The yield was consistently around 50% in several production runs.

To a solution of N-cyclohexyl-N-methyl-4-(pyridin-3-yl)-lH-imidazole-l-carboxamide in dichloromethane at 25°C was added peracetic acid (38%; the concentration is not critical, and may be varied) in a single portion. The reaction mixture was then maintained at 25°C for at least 20 h, whereupon the reaction was washed four times with water. The dichloromethane solution was then filtered prior to diluting with 2-propanol. Dichloromethane (50%) was then distilled off under atmospheric pressure, whereupon, 2-propanol was charged at the same rate as the distillate was collected.

The purity of the product was ascertained by HPLC, with identity confirmable by NMR. The yield was consistently >80% in several production runs. It will be appreciated that this gives an overall yield of compound A many times greater than that achieved in the prior art.

In a further run of this synthesis, in a 2L reactor to a mixture of N-cyclohexyl-N-methyl-4-(pyridin-3-yl)-l H- imidazole-l-carboxamide (90 g, 317 mmol) and dichloromethane (1350 ml) was added peracetic acid (84 ml, 475 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 25°C. Completion of the reaction was monitored by HPLC for the disappearance of N-cyclohexyl-N-methyl-4-(pyridin-3-yl)-lH- imidazole- 1-carboxamide. After reaction completion a solution of sodium metabisulfite (60.2 g, 317 mmol) in water (270ml) was added to the reaction mixture maintaining the temperature below 30°C. After phase separation the organic phase was washed with water. After phase separation the organic phase was concentrated at atmospheric pressure until 5 vol. Then solvent was swapped to isopropanol (1350 ml) and the suspension was cooled to 0°C during 4 hours and stirred at that temperature for 1 hour. The resulting solid was collected by filtration and was rinsed with water (270 ml) and isopropanol (270 ml) to afford a white crystalline solid in 84.8g (89%).

Structure and action

French newspaper Le Figaro has obtained Bial study protocol documents listing the the chemical name of BIA-10-2474 as 3-(1-(cyclohexyl(methyl)carbamoyl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl)pyridine 1-oxide.[8] A Bial news release described BIA-10-2474 as “a long-acting inhibitor of FAAH”.[9]

Fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) is an enzyme which degrades endocannabinoid neurotransmitters like anandamide,[10] which relieves pain and can affect eating and sleep patterns.[11][12] FAAH inhibitors have been proposed for a range of nervous-system disorders including anxiety, alcoholism, pain and nausea.

The Portuguese pharmaceutical company Bial holds several patents on FAAH enzyme inhibitors.[12][13][14][15]

No details of the preclinical testing of this molecule have been made public by the manufacturer Bial. However, the French newspaper Le Figaro has obtained and published an apparently legitimate copy of the full clinical trial protocol (BIA-102474-101).[8] The protocol presents a summary of what appears to be a full package of pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic and toxicological studies that might be expected to support a first-in-man study, including safety pharmacology studies in two species (rat, dog) and repeated dose toxicity studies in four species (13 week sub-chronic studies in mouse, rat, dog and monkey). The summary presented however includes no assessment of the relevance of the animal species selected for study (that is, in terms of physiological and genetic similarities with humans and the mechanism of action of the study drug).

Of note, few adverse events were observed in any of the studies, with the 13-week oral No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) varying between 10 mg/kg/day in mice to 75 mg/kg/day in monkeys. The authors suggest that these were the maximum doses tested in these studies, though it is not clear. The authors also report no effects of significance in the animal models used for the CNS safety pharmacology studies, which studied a dose of up to 300 mg/kg/day.[8]

Notably absent from the protocol are calculations of receptor occupancy; predictions of in vivo ligand binding saturation levels; measures of target affinity; or assessment of the molecule’s activity in non-target tissues or non-target binding interactions as suggested by the European guidance for Phase I studies,[16] assuming BIA 10-2474 could be considered ‘high risk’).[8]

The trial protocol makes no reference to chimpanzee studies (only monkeys) which contradicts a previous statement to the media in which the French Health Minister stated that the drug had been tested on animals including chimpanzees.[4][17] [18] Some experts had remarked that drug testing in chimpanzees was unlikely.[19]

These findings provide no explanation for the type and severity of events observed in Rennes. In describing the rationale for the starting dose, the authors conclude that:

No target organ was identified during toxicology studies and few adverse clinical findings were observed at the highest dose tested. For the single ascending dose part [of the clinical trial], a starting dose of 0.25 mg was judged to be safe for a first-in-human administration. [8]

The protocol defines no starting dose for the multi-dose treatment groups, noting that this will be based on the outcome of the single dose portion of the trial (an approach known as adaptive trial design). The authors note that nonetheless, the starting dose will not exceed 33% of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) identified in the single dose groups (or 33% of the maximum administered dose if the MTD is not reached).[8]

Death and serious adverse events during phase I clinical trial

In July 2015 Biotrial, a contract research organization, began testing the drug in a human phase one clinical trial for the manufacturer. The study was approved by French regulatory authority, the Agence Nationale de Sécurité du Médicament (ANSM), on June 26, 2015, and by the Brest regional ethics committee on July 3, 2015.[20] The trial commenced on July 9, 2015,[21] in the city of Rennes, and recruited 128 healthy volunteers, both men and women aged 18 to 55. According to French authorities, the study employed a three-stage design with 90 of the volunteers having received the drug during the first two stages of the trial, with no serious adverse events being reported .[17][20] Participants of the study were to receive €1,900 and, in turn, asked to stay at Biotrial’s facility for two weeks during which time they would take the drug for ten days and undergo tests.[22]

In the third stage of the trial evaluating multiple doses, six male volunteers received doses by mouth, starting on 7 January 2016. The first volunteer was hospitalized at the Rennes University Hospital on January 10, became brain dead,[17][23][24][25] and died on January 17.[26] The other five men in the same dosage group were also hospitalized, in the period of January 10 through January 13[27] four of them suffering injuries including deep hemorrhagic and necrotic lesions seen on brain MRI.[7] The six men who were hospitalised were the group which received the highest dose.[26] A neurologist at the University of Rennes Hospital Center, Professor Pierre-Gilles Edan, stated in a press conference with the French Minister for Health, that 3 of the 4 men who were displaying neurological symptoms “already have a severe enough clinical picture to fear that even in the best situation there will be an irreversible handicap” and were being given corticosteroids to control the inflammation.[27] The sixth man from the group was not showing adverse effects but had been hospitalized for observation.[25][28][29] Biotrial stopped the experiment on January 11, 2016.[4]

No details of the trial have been made public by the manufacturer Bial. The study does not appear in searches of any of the key clinical trial registries, including EudraCT and ClinicalTrials.gov which would normally contain details of approved clinical studies.[30][31][32][33] The trial protocol published by Le Figaro provides extensive detail on what was planned for the study, but many details of the key multi-dose part are not included and were to have been finalised at the conclusion of the single-dose part of the trial.[8]

The French health minister Marisol Touraine called the event “an accident of exceptional gravity” and promised to investigate the matter.[4] On January 18 it was reported authorities were investigating if a manufacturing or transport error might be involved.[34]

Le Figaro posted a 96-page clinical study protocol for BIA 10-2474 that the French newspaper procured from an unnamed source.

According to the document, BIA 10-2474 is 3-(1-(cyclohexyl(methyl)carbamoyl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl)pyridine 1-oxide.

BIA 10-2474 “is designed to act as a long-active and reversible inhibitor of brain and peripheral FAAH,” notes the protocol. The compound “increases anandamide levels in the central nervous system and in peripheral tissues.”

The clinical trial protocol also notes that the company tested BIA 10-2474 on mice, rats, dogs, and monkeys for effects on the heart, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract, among other pharmacological and toxicological evaluations.

One man is dead and five men were hospitalized after participating in a Phase I clinical trial in Rennes, France

The clinical trial, conducted by the company Biotrial on behalf of the Portuguese pharmaceutical firm Bial, was evaluating a pain relief drug candidate called BIA 10-2474 that inhibits fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) enzymes. Blocking these enzymes prevents them from breaking down cannabinoids in the brain, a family of compounds that includes the euphoria-inducing neurotransmitter anandamide and Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol, the major psychoactive component of marijuana.

Phase I clinical trials are conducted to check a drug candidate’s safety profile in healthy, paid volunteers. In this case, the drug caused hemorrhagic and necrotic brain lesions in five out of six men in a group who received the highest doses of the drug, said Gilles Edan, a neurologist at the University Hospital Center of Rennes.

The most severely affected man was pronounced brain-dead after hospitalization and then died on Jan. 17. Four men remain in the hospital in stable condition. The only man in the high-dose group who had no adverse symptoms has been released from the hospital.

Clinical trials are an essential part of the drug development process. In order to get life-improving and life-saving medicines to patients, they first have to go through an extensive series of tests. Even before a drug makes it to Phase 1 testing, where its safety, dosage amount, and side effects are tested in a small group of humans, it will undergo testing in animals. As a result, it is not common for a medicine undergoing clinical tests to have a very serious adverse effect on a human. This makes you wonder what happened to a group of patients involved in a clinical study in Rennes, France.

According to news reports, a drug undergoing testing in a French clinic has left one person dead, two others with what may be permanent brain damage, and and two others critically ill. The drug has thus far been unnamed, but it appears to have been produced by the Portuguese company Bial. The French health minister has stated the drug acted on natural receptors found in the body known as endocannibinoids, which regulate mood and appetite. It did not contain cannabis or anything derived from it, as was originally reported. All six trial participants were administered the doses simultaneously.

The trial was being performed at Biotrial, a French-based firm that was formed in 1989 and has conducted thousands of trials. A message on the company’s website stated that they are working with health authorities to understand the cause of the accident, while extending thoughts to the patients and their families. Bial has disclosed the drug was a FAAH (fatty acid amide hydrolase) inhibitor, which is an enzyme produced in the brain and elsewhere that breaks down neurotransmitters called endocannabinoids. Two scientists from the Nottingham Medical School who have worked with FAAH tried over the weekend to try and identify the drug by examining a list of drugs Bial currently has in its pipeline. They believe the culprit is one identified by the codename BIA 10-2474. That same codename appeared on a recruitment form that was given to a volunteer, which was published in a French newspaper. Little more is known about it, and there does not appear to be any entry for it in clinical trial registries.

The French health ministry is reporting the six patients were all in good health prior to taking the oral medicine, which was administered to 90 volunteers. The trial recruited 128 individuals, and the remaining participants received a placebo. Health minister Marisol Touraine, describing the situation as a very serious accident, noted the patients were taking part in a trial in Brittany, Rennes involving a medicine developed by a “European laboratory”, refusing to comment further until additional information became available. She has also asked the Inspector General of Social Affairs to lead an investigation into the circumstances around the trial, which has obviously been suspended. She notes the drug had been tested on animals, including chimpanzees. France’s National Agency for Medicine and Health Products Safety approved the trial on in June 2015.

One thing we do know is that the trial was a Phase 1 clinical study that included 90 healthy volunteers. Regulations that oversee all clinical trials in Europe do attempt to minimize the risk associated with trials, but there is always a risk involved with administering an unapproved medicine to humans. At this time the chief neuroscientist at the hospital where the patients are being treated has said there is no known antidote for the drug.

The drug, administered to men between the ages of 28 and 49, was intended to treat mood disorders such as anxiety. While the men were administered varying doses, the patients who are hospitalized were taking the drug “regularly”.

Old 2006 case

While safety issues like this are rare, they are not unheard of. In 2006, a clinical trial in London left six men ill. All were taking part in a study testing a drug designed to fight auto-immune disease and leukemia. Within hours of taking the drug TGN1412, all experienced a serious reaction, were admitted to intensive care, and had to be treated for organ failure. Two became critically ill, with one eventually losing all of his fingers and toes. All were told they would have a higher risk of developing cancers or auto-immune diseases.

This of course led many to wonder about the future of trials, and whether the situation could happen again. The Duff Report, written in response to the TGN1412 trial, noted the medicine should have been tested in one person at a time. It also helped to put additional safety measures in place. The Medicines and Health Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) now requires committees to look at pre-clinical data to determine the proper initial dose, and rules are in place to stop the trial if unintended reactions occur.

However, since patients can fall ill immediately after being administered a medication, certain risks will still exist.

The company that manufactured TGN1412, TeGenero Immuno Therapeutics, later went bankrupt. However the drug was later purchased by a Russian investor and renamed TABO8. TheraMAB, a Russian biotech company, then conducted a new trial of the drug in a much lower dose. A later Phase 2 study was started in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Other pharmaceutical companies, including Merck, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Sanofi and Vernalis, have previously taken other FAAH inhibitors into clinical trials without experiencing such adverse events (e.g. respectively, MK-4409,[35][36] PF-04457845, JNJ-42165279,[37] SSR411298 and V158866.[38][39] Related enzyme inhibitor compounds such as URB-597 and LY-2183240 have been sold illicitly as designer drugs,[40][41] all without reports of this type of toxicity emerging, so the mechanism of the toxicity observed with BIA 10-2474 remains poorly understood.

Following the events in Rennes, Janssen announced that it was temporarily suspending dosing in two Phase II clinical trials with its own FAAH inhibitor JNJ-42165279, headlining the decision as “precautionary measure follows safety issue with different drug in class”. Janssen was emphatic that no serious adverse events had been reported in any of the clinical trials with JNJ-42165279 to date. The suspension is to remain in effect until more information is available about the BIA 10-2474 study.[42]
