How flow chemistry can make processes greener

Case study 1 Methylation with DMC.

Increasing reaction efficiency through access to a wider range of reaction conditions

Efficient utilization of energy and time is fundamental to green chemistry and engineering. These factors are directly related to the rate of a chemical reaction, as a fast reaction will require less operating time. Economical use of space is also important, and fast reactions may allow for a smaller reactor to be utilized, particularly in continuous processes. The most straightforward way to increase reaction rate is with an increase in temperature; however, in a batch reactor, this is generally limited to the atmospheric boiling point of the solvent or reagents. In a flow reactor, pressure and temperature can be safely manipulated far beyond atmospheric conditions. Analogous to microwaves synthesis,¹ reactions done in flow are often faster than in the corresponding batch reactions, which gives…

Raw Material Variation into QbD Risk Assessment

July 9, 2015 10:22 am / 2 Comments on Raw Material Variation into QbD Risk Assessment

DRUG REGULATORY AFFAIRS INTERNATIONAL

Areas of discussion included how expectations for raw material control are evolving within changing regulatory and business paradigms including quality by design (QbD), counterfeiting, complex supply chains, and sourcing changes. discussed risk assessment and mitigation strategies along with supplier risk management plans.

Regulatory Considerations

the lack of a consistent definition of raw materials in regulations pertaining to the pharmaceutical industry. In its Q7 guideline, the International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for the Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) defines raw materials as “starting materials, reagents, and solvents intended for use in the production of intermediates or APIs.” However, the term as defined by different speakers could cover a wide range of materials including the following:

• starting or source materials (cell lines, viral or bacterial stocks, media components, chemicals, tissues, serum, water)

• in-process materials (resins, buffers, filters, column housings, tubing, reagents)

• excipients

ALOGLIPTIN

July 6, 2015 10:19 am / Leave a comment

ALOGLIPTIN

Alogliptin is a potent, selective inhibitor of DPP-4 with IC50 of <10 nM, exhibits greater than 10,000-fold selectivity over DPP-8 and DPP-9.

Alogliptin (trade name Nesina in the US^[1] and Vipidia in Europe^[2]) is an orally administered anti-diabetic drug in the DPP-4 inhibitor class,^[3] developed by Syrrx, a company which was acquired by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company in 2005. Like other medications for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes, alogliptin does not decrease the risk of heart attack and stroke. Like other members of the gliptin class, it causes little or no weight gain, exhibits relatively little risk of causing hypoglycemia, and exhibits relatively modest glucose-lowering activity. Alogliptin and other gliptins are commonly used in combination with metformin in patients whose diabetes cannot adequately be controlled with metformin alone.^[4]

Clinical study

Alogliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP-4i) that is designed to slow the inactivation of incretin hormones GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide). ^[5]

A randomized clinical trial reporting in 2011 aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of alogliptin versus placebo and vogliboseamong newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetes patients in Japan. The main outcome indicated that alogliptin was statistically superior to both comparitors.^[6]

A randomized clinical trial reporting in 2012 aimed to demonstrate that alogliptin was “non-inferior” to a “very low fat/calorie traditional Japanese diet” among newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetes patients in Japan. The outcome indicated that both the drug and dietary treatments comparably impacted indicators of the diabetic condition, such as HbA1c levels and glycemic efficacy. The drug treatment had its impact without changing body mass index (BMI), but the dietary treatment was accompanied by a significant reduction in the BMI.^[7]

A randomized clinical trial reporting in 2011 aimed to demonstrate the efficacy of alogliptin as an add-on agent in combination withmetformin and pioglitazone versus simply increasing the dosage of pioglitazone in combination with metformin; in other words, this was a study to look at a three-agent therapy versus a two-agent therapy. The outcome of this study suggested that the addition of alogliptin to metformin and pioglitazone provided superior impact on diabetes biomarkers (e.g. HbA1c) than increasing the dose of pioglitazone in a two agent therapy with metformin.^[8]

Reported adverse events

Adverse events appear to be restricted to mild hypoglycemia based on clinical studies.^[6]^[7]^[8]

Alogliptin is not associated with increased weight, increased risk of cardiovasular events, or heart failure.^[9]^[10]

Market access

In December 2007, Takeda submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) for alogliptin to the United States Food and Drug Adminiistration (USFDA),^[11] after positive results from Phase III clinical trials.^[1] In September of 2008, the company also filed for approval in Japan,^[12] winning approval in April 2010.^[11] The company also filed a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) elsewhere outside the United States, which was withdrawn in June 2009 needing more data.^[12] The first USFDA NDA failed to gain approval and was followed by a pair of NDAs (one for alogliptin and a second for a combination of alogliptin and pioglitazone) in July 2011.^[11] In 2012, Takeda received a negative response from the USFDA on both of these NDAs, citing a need for additional data.^[11]

In 2013 the FDA approved the drug in three formulations: As a stand-alone with the brand-name Nesina. Combined with metforminusing the name Kazano, and when combined with pioglitazone as Oseni.

Diabetes affects millions of people worldwide and is considered one of the main threats to human health in the 21^st century. In 2006, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that over 180 million people worldwide had diabetes, and the number is projected to double by 2030. Over time, uncontrolled diabetes can damage body systems, including the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys and nerves. According to the WHO, approximately 1.1 million people died from diabetes in 2005, and it is estimated that diabetes-related deaths will increase by more than 50% in the next decade. Globally, the socioeconomic burden of diabetes is substantial.

There are two main types of diabetes, designated type 1 and type 2, with type 2 diabetes accounting for over 90% of all diabetes cases globally. Type 1 diabetes is characterized by insulin deficiency, primarily caused by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic islet β-cells, and type 2 diabetes is characterized by abnormal insulin secretion and concomitant insulin resistance. To prevent the development of ketoacidosis, people with type 1 diabetes must take exogenous insulin for survival. Although those with type 2 diabetes are not dependent on exogenous insulin as much as subjects with type 1 diabetes, they may require exogenous insulin to control blood glucose levels.

As diabetes has become a global health concern, research interest in the condition has rapidly increased. In addition to studies on prevention, many studies with the aim of developing new interventions for the treatment of diabetes, especially type 2 diabetes, have been conducted. Currently available medications for the treatment and management of type 2 diabetes include metformin, sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones and insulin. However, these therapies are commonly associated with secondary failure and may cause hypoglycemia. Insulin resistance and progressively worsening hyperglycemia caused by reduced β-cell function are major challenges in managing type 2 diabetes. Evidence suggests that patients with insulin resistance do not develop hyperglycemia until their β-cells are unable to produce enough insulin. New agents that can enhance insulin secretion from islet β-cells in a sustained glucose-dependent manner could therefore hold promise for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

One promising approach is based on inhibition of the serine protease dipeptidyl- peptidase IV (DPP IV), a postproline dipeptidyl aminopeptidase that belongs to the S9b peptidase family of proteolytic enzymes. It is known that DPP IV plays a key role in maintaining glucose homeostasis by controlling the incretin activity of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-I) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP, also known as gastric inhibitory polypeptide). Inhibition of DPP IV is therefore recognized as a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Recently, a series of DPP IV inhibitors were developed. Among these highly potent compounds, alogliptin benzoate (SYR-322) and its analogs demonstrated encouraging antidiabetic efficacy (EP 1586571 (WO 2005/095381); WO 2008/067465; WO 2007/035379, and US 2004/097510).

Alogliptin benzoate can be prepared as described in EP 1586571 (WO 2005/095381) according to the process set forth in Scheme 1 :

Scheme 1

In accordance with this process, 6-Chlorouracil (1) is alkylated with 2- (bromomethyl)benzonitrile in the presence of NaH and LiBr in a mixture of DMF- DMSO to produce the TV-benzyluracil derivative (2) in 54% yield. Compound (2) is further alkylated with iodomethane and NaH in DMF/THF to give the 1 ,3 disubstituted uracil (3) in 72% yield. Subsequent displacement of chlorouracil (IV) with 3(R)- aminopiperidine dihydrochloride in the presence of either NaHCO₃ in hot methanol or K₂CO₃ in aqueous isopropanol provides alogliptin (4), which is isolated as the corresponding benzoate salt by treatment with benzoic acid in ethanol. The overall yield of this three-stage process is -20-25%. One of the disadvantages of above described process is the difficulty to separate and purify mixtures of solvents with high boiling point (for example, DMF/DMSO) for recycling. Another disadvantage is the usage of hazardous materials such as sodium hydride, which requires anhydrous solvents as a reaction media.

Intermediate 2-((6-chloro-3-methyl-2,4-dioxo-3 ,4-dihydropyrimidin- 1 (2H)-yl)methyl) benzonitrile (3) is alternatively obtained by alkylation of 6-chloro-3 methyluracil with 2-(bromomethyl)benzonitrile by means of diisopropylethylamine in hot NMP (WO 2007/035629). Although this process is more technological than the previously described process (EP 1586571), the overall yield is still moderate (50-55%). The problem of mixed solvents (toluene, NMP, diisopropylethylamine) separation persists for this process as well.

Trelagliptin-succinate Formula: C22H26FN5O6

SYR-472 is an oral dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitor originated by Takeda. It is in phase III clinical trials for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Diabetes affects 25.8 million people of all ages, or roughly 8.3 percent of the U.S. population.
The World Health Organization predicts that there will be 366 million people worldwide affected by diabetes by the year 2030.
The advent of trelagliptin succinate, a unique once weekly medication for patients with type 2 Diabetes is now the focus of clinical trials and exciting research and development.
Phase III clinical trials of trelagliptin succinate commenced in September 2011, and are estimated to be complete by the second half of 2013.

TRELAGLIPTIN (SYR-472)

Trelagliptin is a novel DPP-4 inhibitor that is being developed by Takeda. In contrast to alogliplitin, which is once a day, trelagliptin is a once-weekly oral agent which should provide patients with a convenient therapeutic alternative and has the potential to improve compliance. Takeda has commenced Phase III trials of trelagliptin in Japan for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes.

Indication (Phase): Japan—Once-weekly oral treatment for type 2 diabetes (Phase III; study expected to be completed in second half of 2013)

trelagliptin succinate

Compound I, A, TRELAGLIPTIN which has the formula:

is a DPP-IV inhibitor that is described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/080,992 filed Mar. 15, 2005 (see Compound 34). Its dosing, administration and biological activities are described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/531,671 filed Sep. 13, 2006. U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/080,992 and Ser. No. 11/531,671 are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature EC.3.4.14.5) (referred herein as “DPP-IV”) is a type II membrane protein and a non-classical serine aminodipeptidase that removes Xaa-Pro dipeptides from the amino terminus (N-terminus) of polypeptides and proteins. DPP-IV is constitutively expressed on epithelial and endothelial cells of a variety of different tissues (e.g., intestine, liver, lung, kidney and placenta), and is also found in body fluids. DPP-IV is also expressed on circulating T-lymphocytes and has been shown to be synonymous with the cell-surface antigen, CD-26. DPP-IV has been implicated in a number of human disease states, including, but are not limit to, diabetes, particularly type II diabetes mellitus, diabetic dislipidemia, conditions of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), conditions of impaired fasting plasma glucose (IFG), metabolic acidosis, ketosis, appetite regulation and obesity; autoimmune diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis; AIDS; and cancers.

DPP-IV inhibitors are believed to be useful agents for the prevention, delay of progression, and/or treatment of conditions mediated by DPP-IV.

Compound (A) or a salt thereof has been reported as an inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP-IV) , which is an enzyme that decomposes glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) , a hormone increasing insulin secretion (patent document 1) .

In addition, a method including administering 1 – 250 mg of compound (A) or a salt thereof to a patient once per week (patent documents 2, 3), crystal polymorphs of compound (A) (patent documents 4, 5) , and a preparation of compound (A)

(patent documents 6, 7) have also been reported. Compound (A) and a salt thereof are recommended for oral administration in view of the easiness of self-administration, and a tablet, particularly a tablet in the dosage form for administration once per week, is desired. [0006]

The dosage form of once per week is expected to improve drug compliance of patients, whereas it requires supply of compound (A) or a salt thereof to patients in a high dose as compared to, for example, the dosage form of once per day. Since a solid preparation containing compound (A) or a salt thereof in a high dose increases its size, it may conversely degrade the drug compliance for patients, particularly infants and elderly patients having difficulty in swallowing

Compound 34 IS TRELAGLIPTIN

4-Fluoro-2-methylbenzonitrile (31).

A mixture of 2-bromo-5-fluorotoluene (3.5 g, 18.5 mmol) and CuCN (2 g, 22 mmol) in DMF (100 mL) was refluxed for 24 hours. The reaction was diluted with water and extracted with hexane. The organics were dried over MgSO₄and the solvent removed to give product 31 (yield 60%). 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl₃): δ 7.60 (dd, J=5.6, 8.8 Hz, 1H), 6.93-7.06 (m, 2H), 2.55 (s, 3H).

2-Bromomethyl-4-fluorobenzonitrile (32).

A mixture of 4-fluoro-2-methylbenzonitrile (2 g, 14.8 mmol), NBS (2.64 g, 15 mmol) and AIBN (100 mg) in CCl₄was refluxed under nitrogen for 2 hours. The reaction was cooled to room temperature. The solid was removed by filtration. The organic solution was concentrated to give crude product as an oil, which was used in the next step without further purification. ¹H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl₃): δ 7.68 (dd, J=5.2, 8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.28 (dd, J=2.4, 8.8 Hz, 1H), 7.12 (m, 1H), 4.6 (s, 2H).

Alternatively, 32 was made as follows.

4-Fluoro-2-methylbenzonitrile (1 kg) in DCE (2 L) was treated with AIBN (122 g) and heated to 75° C. A suspension of DBH (353 g) in DCE (500 mL) was added at 75° C. portionwise over 20 minutes. This operation was repeated 5 more times over 2.5 hours. The mixture was then stirred for one additional hour and optionally monitored for completion by, for example, measuring the amount of residual benzonitrile using HPLC. Additional AIBN (e.g., 12.5 g) was optionally added to move the reaction toward completion. Heating was stopped and the mixture was allowed to cool overnight. N,N-diisopropylethylamine (1.3 L) was added (at <10° C. over 1.5 hours) and then diethyl phosphite (1.9 L) was added (at <20° C. over 30 min). The mixture was then stirred for 30 minutes or until completion. The mixture was then washed with 1% sodium metabisulfite solution (5 L) and purified with water (5 L). The organic phase was concentrated under vacuum to afford 32 as a dark brown oil (3328 g), which was used without further purification (purity was 97% (AUC)).

2-(6-Chloro-3-methyl-2,4-dioxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrimidin-1-ylmethyl)-4-fluoro-benzonitrile (33).

A mixture of crude 3-methyl-6-chlorouracil (0.6 g, 3.8 mmol), 2-bromomethyl-4-fluorobenzonitrile (0.86 g, 4 mmol) and K₂CO₃(0.5 g, 4 mmol) in DMSO (10 mL) was stirred at 60° C. for 2 hours. The reaction was diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc. The organics were dried over MgSO₄and the solvent removed. The residue was purified by column chromatography. 0.66 g of the product was obtained (yield: 60%). ¹H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl₃): δ 7.73 (dd, J=7.2, 8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.26 (d, J=4.0 Hz, 1H), 7.11-7.17 (m, 1H), 6.94 (dd, J=2.0, 9.0 Hz, 1H), 6.034 (s, 2H), 3.39 (s, 3H). MS (ES) [m+H] calc’d for C₁₃H₉ClFN₃O₂, 293.68; found 293.68.

Alternatively, 33 was made as follows.

To a solution of 6-chloro-3-methyluracil (750 g) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (998 mL) in NMP (3 L) was added (at <30° C. over 25 min) a solution of 32 (2963 g crude material containing 1300 g of 32 in 3 L of toluene). The mixture was then heated at 60° C. for 2 hours or until completion (as determined, for example, by HPLC). Heating was then stopped and the mixture was allowed to cool overnight. Purified water (3.8 L) was added, and the resultant slurry was stirred at ambient temperature for 1 hour and at <5° C. for one hour. The mixture was then filtered under vacuum and the wet cake was washed with IPA (2×2.25 L). The material was then dried in a vacuum oven at 40±5° C. for 16 or more hours to afford 33 as a tan solid (>85% yield; purity was >99% (AUC)).

TFAsalt OF TRELAGLIPTIN

2-[6-(3-Amino-piperidin-1-yl)-3-methyl-2,4-dioxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrimidin-1-ylmethyl]-4-fluoro-benzonitrile (34).

2-(6-Chloro-3-methyl-2,4-dioxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrimidin-1-ylmethyl)-4-fluoro-benzonitrile (300 mg, 1.0 mmol), (R)-3-amino-piperidine dihydrochloride (266 mg, 1.5 mmol) and sodium bicarbonate (500 mg, 5.4 mmol) were stirred in a sealed tube in EtOH (3 mL) at 100° C. for 2 hrs. The final compound was obtained as TFA salt after HPLC purification. ¹H-NMR (400 MHz, CD₃OD): δ. 7.77-7.84 (m, 1H), 7.16-7.27 (m, 2H), 5.46 (s, 1H), 5.17-5.34 (ABq, 2H, J 35.2, 15.6 Hz), 3.33-3.47 (m, 2H), 3.22 (s, 3H), 2.98-3.08 (m, 1H), 2.67-2.92 (m, 2H), 2.07-2.17 (m, 1H), 1.82-1.92 (m, 1H), 1.51-1.79 (m, 2H). MS (ES) [m+H] calc’d for C₁₈H₂₀FN₅O₂, 357.38; found, 357.38.

FREE BASE OF TRELAGLIPTIN

Alternatively, the free base of 34 was prepared as follows. A mixture of 33 (1212 g), IPA (10.8 L), (R)-3-amino-piperidine dihydrochloride (785 g), purified water (78 mL) and potassium carbonate (2.5 kg, powder, 325 mesh) was heated at 60° C. until completion (e.g., for >20 hours) as determined, for example, by HPLC. Acetonitrile (3.6 L) was then added at 60° C. and the mixture was allowed to cool to <25° C. The resultant slurry was filtered under vacuum and the filter cake was washed with acetonitrile (2×3.6 L). The filtrate was concentrated at 45° C. under vacuum (for >3 hours) to afford 2.6 kg of the free base of 34.

HCL salt OF TRELAGLIPTIN

The HCl salt of 34 was prepared from the TFA salt as follows. The TFA salt (34) was suspended in DCM, and then washed with saturated Na₂CO₃. The organic layer was dried and removed in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in acetonitrile and HCl in dioxane (1.5 eq.) was added at 0° C. The HCl salt was obtained after removing the solvent. ¹H-NMR (400 MHz, CD₃OD): δ. 7.77-7.84 (m, 1H), 7.12-7.26 (m, 2H), 5.47 (s, 1H), 5.21-5.32 (ABq, 2H, J=32.0, 16.0 Hz), 3.35-3.5 (m, 2H), 3.22 (s, 3H), 3.01-3.1 (m, 1H), 2.69-2.93 (m, 2H), 2.07-2.17 (m, 1H), 1.83-1.93 (m, 1H), 1.55-1.80 (m, 2H). MS (ES) [m+H] calc’d for C₁₈H₂₀FN₅O₂, 357.38; found, 357.38.

Alternatively, the HCl salt was prepared from the free base as follows. To a solution of free base in CH₂Cl₂(12 L) was added (at <35° C. over 18 minutes) 2 M hydrochloric acid (3.1 L). The slurry was stirred for 1 hour and then filtered. The wet cake was washed with CH₂Cl₂(3.6 L) and then THF (4.8 L). The wet cake was then slurried in THF (4.8 L) for one hour and then filtered. The filter cake was again washed with THF (4.8 L). The material was then dried in a vacuum oven at 50° C. (with a nitrogen bleed) until a constant weight (e.g., >26 hours) to afford 34 as the HCl salt as a white solid (1423 g, >85% yield).

Succinate salt OF TRELAGLIPTIN

Figure US20080227798A1-20080918-C00001

The succinate salt of 34 was prepared from the HCl salt as follows. To a mixture of the HCl salt of 34 (1414 g), CH₂Cl₂(7 L) and purified water (14 L) was added 50% NaOH solution (212 mL) until the pH of the mixture was >12. The biphasic mixture was stirred for 30 min and the organic layer was separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with CH₂Cl₂(5.7 L) and the combined organic layers were washed with purified water (6 L). The organic layer was then passed through an in-line filter and concentrated under vacuum at 30° C. over three hours to afford the free base as an off-white solid. The free base was slurried in prefiltered THF (15 L) and prefiltered IPA (5.5 L). The mixture was then heated at 60° C. until complete dissolution of the free base was observed. A prefiltered solution of succinic acid (446 g) in THF (7 L) was added (over 23 min) while maintaining the mixture temperature at >57° C. After stirring at 60° C. for 15 min, the heat was turned off, the material was allowed to cool, and the slurry was stirred for 12 hours at 25±5° C. The material was filtered under vacuum and the wet cake was washed with prefiltered IPA (2×4.2 L). The material was then dried in a vacuum oven at 70±5° C. (with a nitrogen bleed) for >80 hours to afford the succinate salt of 34 as a white solid (1546 g, >90% yield).

The product was also converted to a variety of corresponding acid addition salts. Specifically, the benzonitrile product (approximately 10 mg) in a solution of MeOH (1 mL) was treated with various acids (1.05 equivalents). The solutions were allowed to stand for three days open to the air. If a precipitate formed, the mixture was filtered and the salt dried. If no solid formed, the mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue isolated. In this way, salts of 34 were prepared from the following acids: benzoic, p-toluenesulfonic, succinic, R-(−)-Mandelic and benzenesulfonic. The succinate was found to be crystalline as determined by x-ray powder diffraction analysis.

Methanesulfonate salt

In addition, the methanesulfonate salt was prepared as follows. A 10.5 g aliquot of the benzonitrile product was mixed with 400 mL of isopropylacetate. The slurry was heated to 75° C. and filtered through #3 Whatman filter paper. The solution was heated back to 75° C. and a 1M solution of methanesulfonic acid (30.84 mL) was added slowly over 10 minutes while stirring. The suspension was cooled to room temperature at a rate of about 20° C./hr. After 1 hr at room temperature, the solid was filtered and dried in an oven overnight to obtain the methanesulfonate salt.

FORM A

Form A may be prepared by crystallization from the various solvents and under the various crystallization conditions used during the polymorph screen (e.g., fast and slow evaporation, cooling of saturated solutions, slurries, and solvent/antisolvent additions). Tables B and C of Example 3 summarize the procedures by which Form A was prepared. For example, Form A was obtained by room temperature slurry of an excess amount of Compound I in acetone, acetonitrile, dichloromethane, 1,4-dioxane, diethyl ether, hexane, methanol, isopropanol, water, ethylacetate, tetrahydrofuran, toluene, or other like solvents on a rotating wheel for approximately 5 or 7 days. The solids were collected by vacuum filtration, and air dried in the hood. Also, Form A was precipitated from a methanol solution of Compound I by slow evaporation (SE).

[0091] Form A was characterized by XRPD, TGA, hot stage microscopy, IR, Raman spectroscopy, solution ¹H-NMR, and solid state ¹³C-NMR.

[0092] Figure 1 shows a characteristic XRPD spectrum (CuKa, λ=1.5418A) of Form A. The XRPD pattern confirmed that Form A was crystalline. Major X-Ray diffraction lines expressed in °2Θ and their relative intensities are summarized in Table 1.

8. Amorphous Form

[0137] The Amorphous Form of Compound I was prepared by lyophilization of an aqueous solution of Compound I (Example 10). The residue material was characterized by XRPD and the resulting XRPD spectrum displayed in Figure 26. The XRPD spectrum shows a broad halo with no specific peaks present, which confirms that the material is amorphous. The material was further characterized by TGA, DSC, hot stage microscopy, and moisture sorption analysis.

General procedure for the preparation of salts of Compound I.

[0171] The benzonitrile product may be isolated as the free base if desired, but preferably, the product may be further converted to a corresponding acid addition salt. Specifically, the benzonitrile product (approximately 10 mg) in a solution of MeOH (1 mL) was treated with various acids (1.05 equivalents). The solutions were allowed to stand for three days open to the air. If a precipitate formed, the mixture was filtered and the salt dried. If no solid formed, the mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue isolated. In this way, salts of Compound I were prepared from the following acids: benzoic, p-toluenesulfonic, succinic, R-(-)-Mandelic and benzenesulfonic. [0172] The isolation and/or purification steps of the intermediate compounds in the above described process may optionally be avoided if the intermediates from the reaction mixture are obtained as relatively pure compounds and the by-products or impurities of the reaction mixture do not interfere with the subsequent reaction steps. Where feasible, one or more isolation steps may be eliminated to provide shorter processing times, and the elimination of further processing may also afford higher overall reaction yields.

Pemirolast

June 26, 2015 1:15 pm / 2 Comments on Pemirolast

Pemirolast (INN) is a mast cell stabilizer used as an anti-allergic drug therapy. It is marketed under the tradenames Alegysal and Alamast.

9-methyl-3-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-4H-pyrido-[1, 2-a]-pyrimidin-4-one

It has also been studied for the treatment of asthma.

https://www.google.com/patents/US9006431

Pemirolast is an orally-active anti-allergic drug which is used in the treatment of conditions such as asthma, allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis. See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,122,274, European Patent Applications EP 316 174 and EP 1 285 921, Yanagihara et al, Japanese Journal of Pharmacology, 51, 93 (1989) and Drugs of Today, 28, 29 (1992). The drug is presently marketed in e.g. Japan as the potassium salt under the trademark ALEGYSAL™.

Commercial pemirolast potassium has the disadvantage that it is known to give rise to sharp plasma concentration peaks in humans (see, for example, Kinbara et al, “Plasma Level and Urinary Excretion of TBX in Humans”, Japanese Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 18(3) (1990), and “Antiallergic agent—ALEGYSAL tablet 5 mg—ALEGYSAL tablet 10 mg—ALEGYSAL dry syrup”, Pharmaceutical Interview Form (IF), Revised in October 2007 (7th version), Standard Commodity Classification No.: 87449). The latter document also reports that the potassium salt of pemirolast is hygroscopic, which is believed to give rise to chemical instability, and possesses a bitter taste.

U.S. Pat. No. 4,122,274 describes a process for the production of salts of pemirolast, including potassium salts and (at Example 14) a sodium salt. As described herein, this technique produces a sodium salt that is physically unstable. Sodium salts of pemirolast are also mentioned (but a synthesis thereof not described) in international patent applications WO 2008/074975 and WO 2008/075028.

COMPARATIVE EXAMPLE 5Recrystallisation of Pemirolast Sodium According to the Method of U.S. Pat. No. 4,122,274

In U.S. Pat. No. 4,122,274, it is stated that the crude title product (pemirolast sodium) was recrystallised from water:ethanol to give pure title product. It is not clear from this level of detail what the ratio of water:ethanol employed was, so several experiments were performed with a view to reproducing the prior art technique.

(i) Crude sodium salt of pemirolast (480 mg; from Example 4, method (I) above) was recrystallised from water and ethanol (95%) in a 1:1 ratio. The Na salt of pemirolast (480 mg, 1.92 mmol) was dissolved in H₂O (8 mL) at 70° C. and EtOH 95% (8 mL) was added. The clear solution was allowed to reach room temperature and the solid material formed was filtered off, washed with a small amount of ethanol and dried in vacuum to give 316 mg of pure sodium salt.
(ii) Crude sodium salt of pemirolast (500 mg; from Example 4, method (II) above) was dissolved in water (4.9 mL) at 70° C. Thereafter EtOH 95% (ca. 4.0 mL) was added at 70° C. until a solid started to form. Another 0.1 mL of water was added to get everything into solution. The solid material formed upon cooling was collected by filtration and dried under vacuum to give 348 mg of pure sodium salt.
(iii) Crude sodium salt of pemirolast (300 mg; from Example 4, method (II) above) was recrystallised from water:ethanol (1:1 ratio; 10 mL) at 70° C. The solid material formed upon cooling was collected by filtration and dried under vacuum to give 174 mg of pure sodium salt.
(iv) Crude sodium salt of pemirolast (300 mg; from Example 4, method (II) above) was recrystallised from water:ethanol (9:1 ratio, 4 mL) at 70° C. The solid material formed upon cooling was collected by filtration and dried under vacuum to give 219 mg of pure sodium salt.

All four samples of pure pemirolast sodium salt had the same physico-chemical properties (Raman spectra and NMR):

¹H NMR (D₂O) δ: 8.86-8.80 (m, 1H, CH), 8.57 (s, 1H, CH), 7.68-7.59 (m, 1H, CH), 7.22-7.13 (m, 1H, CH), 2.39 (s, 3H, CH₃).

The PXRD pattern (measured in respect of Example 5(i) above) is shown in FIG. 3. It was concluded from this that this form of the sodium salt is an amorphous material mixed with a crystalline fraction.

The Raman spectrum was recorded directly after recrystallisation. All samples were then stored under ambient conditions on a shelf in a fume hood. About a month later, a Raman spectrum was recorded, which was significantly different to that recorded earlier. This is shown in FIG. 4, where the lower spectrum accords to the earlier measurement and the upper spectrum accords to the later measurement. In the light of these results, it was concluded that the prior art amorphous form of pemirolast sodium is physically unstable.

The amorphous material was also prepared by drying of the form obtained in accordance with Example 11 below at 40° C. and reduced pressure for 40 hours to yield 12 g of a pale yellow cotton-like amorphous solid.

1) Firstly, 2-Amino-3-methylpyridine (I) is condensed with ethoxymethylenemalonodinitrile (II) to afford the monocyclic intermediate (III), which is in tautomeric equilibrium with the pyridopyrimidine derivative (IV). Next, the reaction of (IV) with aluminum azide (AlCl₃.NaN₃) in refluxing THF yields 4-imino-9-methyl-3-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine (V). Finally, this compound is first hydrolyzed with 1N HCl and then treated with KOH.
2) Compound (IV) can be converted to the final product by a one-pot reaction: (VI) is treated first with NaN₃ in refluxing acetic acid, then hydrolyzed with HCl and finally treated with KOH.

EXAMPLE 1

A suspension of 9-methyl-3-(1 H-tetrazol-5-yl)-4H-pyrido-[1,2-a]-pyrimidin-4-one (68.5 g; 0.3 mols) in methanol (420 ml) and water (210 ml) heated at 50° C. is added with a 40% N-methylamine aqueous solution (30 ml, 0.35 mols) to pH=10. The solution is heated at 68-70° C., and acidified with formic acid (21 ml) to pH=3. After completion of the addition the mixture is kept at 68-70° C. for about 15 minutes and then cooled to 20-25° C. The precipitate is filtered, washed with methanol and dried under vacuum at 40° C. to give 9-methyl-3-(1 H-tetrazol-5-yl)-4H-pyrido-[1,2-a]-pyrimidin-4-one with >99.8% HPLC purity (63 g, 92% yield).

EXAMPLE 2

9-Methyl-3-(1 H-tetrazol-5-yl)-4H-pyrido-[1,2-a]-pyrimidin-4-one (63 g, 0.28 mols) is suspended in methanol (1000 ml). The resulting suspension is kept at 45° C. and slowly added with a 45% potassium hydroxide aqueous solution to pH 9-9.5. The suspension is stirred at 45° C. for about 15 minutes and then cooled to 20° C. The precipitate is filtered, washed with methanol and dried under vacuum at 80° C., to obtain Pemirolast Potassium (71.9 g; 0.27 mols, 96% yield) with HPLC purity >99.8%. ¹H NMR(D₂O, TMS) d (ppm): 2.02 (s, 3H); 6.83 (t, 1H); 7.22 (d, 1H); 8.18 (s, 1H); 8.47 (d, 1H).

Moexipril hydrochloride is a potent orally active nonsulfhydryl angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitor)^[1] which is used for the treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure. Moexipril can be administered alone or with otherantihypertensives or diuretics.^[2] It works by inhibiting the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II.^[3] Moexipril is available from Schwarz’Pharma under the trade name Univasc.^[3]^[4]

Originally developed at Pfizer (formerly Warner-Lambert), moexipril hydrochloride was licensed to Schwarz Pharma at the end of 1989, when it was still a phase II clinical development project. Manufacturing rights to the drug were subsequently licensed to Orgamol (acquired by BASF in 2005) in Switzerland. Bayer currently distributes the product in Italy, and Hanmi has launched it in the Republic of Korea.

Pharmacology

Moexipril is available as a prodrug moexipril hydrochloride, and is metabolized in the liver to form the pharmacologically active compound moexiprilat. Formation of moexiprilat is caused by hydrolysis of an ethyl ester group.^[5] Moexipril is incompletely absorbed after oral administration, and its bioavailability is low.^[6] The long pharmacokinetic half-life and persistent ACE inhibition of moexipril allows once-daily administration.^[7]

Moexipril is highly lipophilic,^[2] and is in the same hydrophobic range as quinapril, benazepril, and ramipril.^[7] Lipophilic ACE inhibitors are able to penetrate membranes more readily, thus tissue ACE may be a target in addition to plasma ACE. A significant reduction in tissue ACE (lung, myocardium, aorta, and kidney) activity has been shown after moexipril use.^[8]

It has additional PDE4-inhibiting effects.^[9]

Side effects

Moexipril is generally well tolerated in elderly patients with hypertension.^[10] Hypotension, dizziness, increased cough, diarrhea, flu syndrome, fatigue, and flushing have been found to affect less than 6% of patients who were prescribed moexipril.^[3]^[10]

Mechanism of action

As an ACE inhibitor, moexipril causes a decrease in ACE. This blocks the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Blockage of angiotensin II limits hypertension within the vasculature. Additionally, moexipril has been found to possess cardioprotective properties. Rats given moexipril one week prior to induction of myocardial infarction, displayed decreased infarct size.^[11] The cardioprotective effects of ACE inhibitors are mediated through a combination of angiotensin II inhibition and bradykininproliferation.^[8]^[12] Increased levels of bradykinin stimulate in the production of prostaglandin E2^[13] and nitric oxide,^[12] which cause vasodilation and continue to exert antiproliferative effects.^[8] Inhibition of angiotensin II by moexipril decreases remodeling effects on the cardiovascular system. Indirectly, angiotensin II stimulates of the production of endothelin 1 and 3 (ET1, ET3)^[14] and the transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1),^[15] all of which have tissue proliferative effects that are blocked by the actions of moexipril. The antiproliferative effects of moexipril have also been demonstrated by in vitro studies where moexipril inhibits the estrogen-stimulated growth of neonatal cardiac fibroblasts in rats.^[12] Other ACE inhibitors have also been found to produce these actions, as well.
