FDA approves new treatment for adults with mantle cell lymphoma

November 1, 2017 12:57 am / 1 Comment on FDA approves new treatment for adults with mantle cell lymphoma

FDA approves new treatment for adults with mantle cell lymphoma

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today granted accelerated approval to Calquence (acalabrutinib) for the treatment of adults with mantle cell lymphoma who have received at least one prior therapy.

“Mantle cell lymphoma is a particularly aggressive cancer,” said Richard Pazdur, M.D., director of the FDA’s Oncology Center of Excellence and acting director of the Office of Hematology and Oncology Products in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. “For patients who have not responded to treatment or have relapsed, Calquence provides a new treatment option that has shown high rates of response for some patients in initial studies.” Continue reading.

Enclomiphene citrate is an active pharmaceutical ingredient currently under evaluation in clinical phase III for the treatment of secondary hypergonadism. Moreover, it also could be potentially used for an adjuvant therapy in hypogonadal men with Type 2 diabetes.

Enclomiphene citrate of formula (I):

has chemical name of Ethanamine, 2-[4-[(1 )-2-chloro-1 ,2-diphenyl ethenyl]phenoxy]-/V,/V-diethyl-, 2-hydroxy-1 ,2,3-propanetricarboxylate (1 : 1 ); has CAS RN. 7599-79-3, and it is also named trans-Clomiphene monocitrate, E-Clomiphene citrate or Enclomiphene monocitrate.

Enclomiphene is component of Clomiphene, an active pharmaceutical ingredient, having chemical name Ethanamine, 2-[4-(2-chloro-1 ,2- diphenylethenyl)phenoxy]-N,N-diethyl, since Clomiphene is a mixture of the geometric isomers trans-Clomiphene (i.e. Enclomiphene) and cis- Clomiphene.

The US patent 3,848,030, in examples 31 and 32, discloses a process for the resolution of the geometric isomers of Clomiphene through the preparation of salts with racemic binaphthyl-phosphoric acid.

In the later publication Acta Cryst. (1976), B32, pag. 291 -293, the actual geometric isomery has been definitely established by single crystal X-Ray diffraction.

Finally, in the publication “Analytical profiles of drug substances and excipients”, vol. 25, (1998), pag. 85-121 , in particular at pag. 99, it is stated that prior to 1976 the cis stereochemistry was wrongly assigned to the trans-isomer of Clomiphene (E-Chlomiphene or Enclomiphene), and only after the above publication on Acta Cryst. the correct geometric isomery has been definitively assigned.

These observations in the prior art have been confirmed by our experimentation. In particular, repeating the experiment 31 of US patent 3,848,030, the trans-Clomiphene salt with racemic binaphthyl-phosphoric acid was isolated and not the salt with cis-Clomiphene as stated in said patent, as confirmed by 2D H-NMR analysis (NOESY experiment). Thus, Example 31 of US3,848,030, provides, at the end, Enclomiphene citrate, crystallized from a mixture of ethyl ether and ethanol, having a m.p. of 133-135°C. Example 32, instead provided Cis-Clomiphene citrate, crystallized from a mixture of ethyl ether and ethanol, having a m.p. of 120-126°C.

Thus, with the aim of preparing Enclomiphene citrate, whole experiment 31 of US3,848,030 has been reworked also carrying out the crystallization of the product form a mixture of ethyl ether and ethanol, hence providing a not crystalline solid with two DSC peaks respectively at 1 14°C and 188°C, although the starting material used for the reworking example was quite a pure substance (HPLC Analysis (A A%) is 98.95% of Enclomiphene), and having a substantially the same chemical purity of that used in the prior art experiment (m.p. of our Enclomiphene BPA salt was 218°C versus 220- 222°C of the prior art Enclomiphene BPA salt of Example 31 ).

The patent US2,914,563, in example 3, discloses a process for the preparation of trans-Clomiphene citrate, containing from 30% to 50% of cis-Clomiphene, as citrate, by reaction of 1 -ρ-(β- diethylaminoethoxy)phenyl]-1 ,2-diphenylethylene hydrochloride with N- chlorosuccinimmide in dry chloroform under reflux.

Khimiko-Farmatsevticheskii Zhurnal (1984), 18(1 1 ), 1318-24 English translation in the review Pharmaceutical Chemistry Journal November 1984, Volume 18, Issue 1 1 , pag. 758-764 (Title: Synthesis and biological study of the cis- and trans-isomers of Clomiphene citrate and some intermediates of its synthesis) discloses the trans-isomer of Clomiphene citrate, i.e. Enclomiphene citrate, characterized by:

1 H-NMR (MeOD) d 7.4-6.7 (m, 14H); 4.27 (t, 2H, -OCH2); 3.51 (t, 2H, CH2- N); 3.28 (q, 4H, 2xN-CH₂)); 2.73 (2H); 2.78 (2H); 1.31 (t, 6H, 2xN-C-CHs)) Melting point: 138-139°C (98% purity by GLC);

IR spectrum, v cm-¹ (suspension in mineral oil): 3640, 3430, 1720, 1710

(citrate), 1600-1555 (broad band, stilbene system); 750.

UV spectrum: λ max = 243 nm, ε 21 ,800 and λ max 300 nm, ε 1 1 ,400.

These prior art methods for the preparation of Enclomiphene citrate do not allow the preparation of Enclomiphene citrate having needle shaped crystal habit, indeed the crystallization by means of a mixture of ethyl ether and ethanol does not provide a crystalline solid having needle crystals.

Moreover, Enclomiphene citrate was described in literature with different melting points, in particular, 133-135°C and 138-139°C. Said solid forms of Enclomiphene citrate fail to comply with stabilities studies and furthermore show relatively poor solubility in water either in neutral or acid pH.

Furthermore, the prior art methods have the drawbacks related to the poor reproducibility of the process and of the solid form thus obtained.

For treatment for pulmonary fibrosis, phase 2, The lysophosphatidic acid receptor, LPA₁, has been implicated as a therapeutic target for fibrotic disorders

Lysophospholipids (LPs), including lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), sphingosine 1-phospate (S1P), lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI), and lysophosphatidylserine (LysoPS), are bioactive lipids that transduce signals through their specific cell-surface G protein-coupled receptors, LPA1-6, S1P1-5, LPI1, and LysoPS1-3, respectively. These LPs and their receptors have been implicated in both physiological and pathophysiological processes such as autoimmune diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, fibrosis, pain, cancer, inflammation, metabolic syndrome, bone formation, fertility, organismal development, and other effects on most organ systems.

Abstract Image

The process development for the synthesis of BMS-986020 (1) via a palladium catalyzed tandem borylation/Suzuki reaction is described. Evaluation of conditions culminated in an efficient borylation procedure using tetrahydroxydiboron followed by a tandem Suzuki reaction employing the same commercially available palladium catalyst for both steps. This methodology addressed shortcomings of early synthetic routes and was ultimately used for the multikilogram scale synthesis of the active pharmaceutical ingredient 1. Further evaluation of the borylation reaction showed useful reactivity with a range of substituted aryl bromides and iodides as coupling partners. These findings represent a practical, efficient, mild, and scalable method for borylation.

Abstract

Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), also known as African sleeping sickness, is caused by parasitic protozoa of the genus Trypanosoma. As the disease progresses, the parasites cross the blood brain barrier and are lethal for the patients if the disease is left untreated. Current therapies suffer from several drawbacks due to e.g. toxicity of the respective compounds or resistance to approved antitrypanosomal drugs. In this review, the different strategies of drug development against HAT are considered, namely the target-based approach, the phenotypic high throughput screening and the drug repurposing strategy. The most promising compounds emerging from these approaches entering an in vivo evaluation are mentioned herein. Of note, it may turn out to be difficult to confirm in vitro activity in an animal model of infection; however, possible reasons for the missing efficacy in unsuccessful in vivo studies are discussed.

Conclusion There are various starting points to generate hit compounds for the treatment of African sleeping sickness. Especially stage II of HAT which is very hard to treat poses a tough challenge for drug discovery programs as molecules inevitably need to cross the BBB. However, promising compounds (2, 15, and 17) are in the pipeline accomplishing these criteria for CNS mouse models, and in some cases even are orally bioavailable (15 and 17). Especially the large phenotypic screening campaigns performed by the GNF, GlaxoSmithKline, DDU, and Sykes et al. resulted in promising hits discussed herein. Nevertheless, it is not always easy to translate results from in vitro studies into in vivo efficacy like shown in several of the mentioned studies. The reasons for in vivo failures are multilayered and might originate from (I) extensive metabolism, (II) high plasma protein binding, (III) poor water solubility, (IV) efflux transporters, (V) different sensitivity for particular strains, (VI) reduced permeability, and (VII) growth inhibition rather than trypanocidal effects.

With the rapid growth of the elderly population, the number of people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease (Alzheimer’s disease) also will be increased dramatically.Alzheimer’s disease is also known as Alzheimer-type dementia (Alzheimer type dementia), or the Alzheimer type senile dementia (senile dementia of the Alzheimer type). At present, although the prevalence of this disease on a global scale is still unknown, but according to the latest report from the US Alzheimer’s Association (the Alzheimer’s Association), and in 2011 the United States there are about 540 million people suffer from Alcatel the number of Alzheimer’s disease, and in 2050, in the United States suffering from the disease will increase to about 13.5 million. Therefore, the development of better efficacy and fewer side effects of new drugs to treat the disease it is a priority.

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of senile dementia, it has become the sixth leading cause of death of Americans, and 65 years and the fifth leading cause of death in Americans over 65 years. Although scientists have this disease carried out extensive and in-depth research, but so far, the exact cause of the disease remains unclear. Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive disease that continues to kill nerve cells, destroying nerve connections in the brain, resulting in brain tissue is damaged, leading to patients gradually lose memory, consciousness and judgment, and cause mood disorders and behavioral disorders in patients.

Alzheimer’s is an irreversible disease, and now there is no any drug can prevent the disease, and no drugs can cure the disease or slow the disease process. Drugs currently used to treat the disease can only alleviate or ameliorate symptoms of the disease. These drugs are FDA approved for use in the United States a total of five, four of which are acetylcholinesterase (acetylcholinesterase) inhibitors. Acetylcholine (acetylcholine) is a neurotransmitter, a chemical released by nerves, if produced in the brain acetylcholine system, i.e. damaged cholinergic system, it can result in associated with Alzheimer’s disease memory disorders; and acetylcholinesterase function is to catalyze the hydrolysis of acetylcholine, acetylcholine is decomposed. Because Alzheimer’s disease is accompanied

Attenuation of acetylcholine activity, thus inhibiting acetylcholinesterase is one way to treat this disease. As described above, in the present 5 treatment of Alzheimer’s disease drugs in clinical use, there are four acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, including acetylcholinesterase inhibitors such as donepezil (donepezil), tacrine (tacrine ), rivastigmine (rivastigmine), and galantamine (galantamine), wherein donepezil (Sugimoto et al US4895841 and 5100901;.. Pathi et al WO 2007077443;. Parthasaradhi et al WO 2005003092;. Dubey et al WO 2005076749; Gutman . et al WO 200009483;… Sugimoto et al J. Med Chem 1995, 38, 481) is a first-line treatment of Alzheimer’s disease drugs. However, donepezil and the other four drugs can only improve the patient’s symptoms, and this is the only improvement of symptoms is short, only lasting about 6-12 months, and the patient response rates to these drugs only about 50% (Alzheimer’s Association, 201 1 Alzheimer ‘Disease Facts and Figures, Alzheimer’s & Dementia, 201 1, 7 (2), 208). The present invention provides a new class of inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase, which is dioxole between a new class of derivatives of benzo, is more effective than donepezil and fewer side effects in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease drug.

Process for preparing AD-35 and its intermediates – comprising the reaction of a cyano ester with a Grignard reagent, followed by condensation and further manipulative steps.

A novel intermediate of AD-35 is claimed. Also claimed is a processes for preparing 6,7-dihydro-[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-f]isoindol-5-one comprising the reaction of a cyano ester compound in an isopropyl ester (Ti(i-Pr)4)) with a Grignard reagent in the presence of an ethyl magnesium halide. Further claimed are processes for preparing synthon of intermediates. A process for preparing a benzodioxole derivative, particularly AD-35 from intermediates is also claimed.

WO2014005421 reports a class of benzodioxole compounds, which have the activity to inhibit acetylcholinesterase and can be used to treat Alzheimer’s disease. Of these compounds, it is particularly noteworthy that 6- [2- [1- (2-pyridylmethyl) -4-piperidinyl] ethyl] spiro [[1,3] dioxole And [4,5-f] isoindole-7,1′-cyclopropane] -5-one phosphate, codon AD-35, whose chemical structure is as follows:

AD-35 is a weaker acetylcholinesterase inhibitor that inhibits acetylcholinesterase activity in vitro is about one tenth of the activity of donepezil, but the compound exhibits comparable efficacy with donepezil in the Morris water maze test , That is, the effect of improving memory and learning ability is comparable to donepezil. This suggests that the AD-35 is likely to also have the effect of improving memory and learning through other mechanisms in the body. A further study of the rat model of Alzheimer’s disease induced by Aβ _25-35 found that AD-35 significantly inhibited the production and release of proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-1β, Small Aβ _25-35 on the nerve cell toxicity, effectively protect the nerve cells.

In addition, AD-35 also exhibits a certain ability to chelate transition metal ions such as Cu ²⁺ in vitro , while Cu ²⁺ accelerates the formation of Aβ fibers and enhances the toxicity of Aβ to neuronal cells, thereby promoting neuronal cell death , So excessive Cu ^{2+ in the} brain is also considered to be one of the risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease (Sarell et al. J. Biol. Chem. 2010, 285 (53), 41533). From the chemical structure point of view, AD-35 molecules in the piperidine ring and pyridine ring on the two nitrogen atoms constitute a structural unit similar to ethylenediamine, which should be able to explain why this compound to a certain extent Chelating transition metal ions. In terms of the safety of the compounds, the acute toxicity of mice showed that the toxicity of AD-35 was much less than that of donepezil. A newly completed clinical single-dose incremental tolerance test (SAD) showed that the subjects taking 90 mg of AD-35 did not have any adverse effects at once, indicating that the compound was safe.

In summary, the AD-35 is promising to be a small side-effect drug for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, and its multiple mechanisms of action are likely to make this compound not only alleviate the symptoms of Alzheimer’s patients , And can delay the process of the disease.

Since the synthesis route of AD-35 and its analogs reported in WO2014005421 is too long, the operation is complicated and the yield is low, and some steps are not suitable for industrial production. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new process route to overcome the above- Preparation method.

Coumarin (III) was prepared by condensation of benzophenone (I) with phenylacetic acid (II) in the presence of Ac2O and Et3N. Reduction of the lactone function of (III) with LiAlH4, followed by acidic treatment furnished diaryl chromene (IV). Subsequent hydrogenation of (IV) over Pd/C gave rise to the racemic cis chromane (V), which was O-alkylated with 1-(2-chloroethyl) pyrrolidine (VI) producing the corresponding (pyrrolidinyl)ethoxy derivative. Resolution by means of active ditoluoyl tartaric acid yielded the desired (-)-enantiomer (VII). Finally, cleavage of the methoxy group using pyridine hydrochloride at 150 C provided the title compound.

Abstract

The syntheses and in vitro pharmacological evaluation of a number of cis-3,4-diaryl-hydroxy-chromanes are reported, along with the results of a thorough in vivo profiling of the tissue-selective estrogen partial-agonist NNC 45-0781 [3, (−)-(3S,4R)-7-hydroxy-3-phenyl-4-(4-(2-pyrrolidinoethoxy)phenyl)chromane]. These studies showed that NNC 45-0781 is a very promising candidate for the prevention of post-menopausal osteoporosis, and the treatment of other health issues related to the loss of endogenous estrogen production.

The synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of a series of new tissue-selective estrogens, the cis-3,4-diaryl-hydroxy-chromanes, is described.

PAPER

A highly enantioselective method for quick access to dihydrocoumarins is reported. The reaction involves a cooperative catalytic process with carbene and in situ generated Brønsted acid as the catalysts. α-Chloro aldehyde and readily available and stable o-hydroxybenzhydryl amine substrates were used to generate reactive azolium ester enolate and ortho-quinone methide (o-QM) intermediates, respectively, to form dihydrocoumarins with exceptionally high diastereo- and enantioselectivities. The catalytic reaction products can be easily transformed to valuable pharmaceuticals and bioactive molecules.

Arbaclofen, or STX209, is the R-enantiomer of baclofen. It is believed to be a selective gamma-amino butyric acid type B receptor agonist, and has been investigated as a treatment for autism spectrum disorder and fragile X syndrome in randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trials. It has also been investigated as a treatment for spasticity due to multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injury. Arbaclofen was investigated as a treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD); however, with disappointing results.

AGI-006, a GABA(B) agonist, is currently in phase III clinical trials at Seaside Therapeutics for the treatment of social withdrawal in adolescents and adults with Fragile X Syndrome and for the treatment of autism spectrum disorders. AGI Therapeutics had been conducting clinical trials for the treatment of dyspepsia and for the treatment of delayed gastric emptying in diabetic patients; however, no recent development has been reported for this research. In 2015, Osmotica Pharmaceutical filed a NDA seeking approval of an extended-release formulation for the alleviation of spasticity due to multiple sclerosis.

AGI-006 is an oral formulation of arbaclofen, the R-isomer of baclofen. In 2012, a license option agreement was signed between Seaside and Roche by which the latter may commercialize the product upon completion of certain clinical development phases in fragile X syndrome and in autism spectrum disorders.

Strategy for asymmetric synthesis of (R)-(-)-Baclofen is as represented in the Scheme 14. Herein, we made use of asymmetric Michael addition of nitromethane to 4- Chlorochalcone in the presence of Cu(acac)2 and (-)-Sparteine as a catalyst in DCM for 8 h to provide γ-nitro ketone as colorless solid, mp 105-109°C, in 87% yield with 82% ee. The Michael adduct 3d on Baeyer-Villiger reaction using m-CPBA to produce corresponding nitro ester 6a. The reduction of 6a containing nitro group can be reduced with sodium borohydride in presence of NiCl2. It resulted to generate 7 cyclic pyrrolidine moiety in 65% yield. Which upon hydrolysis with HCl will lead to (R)-(-)- Baclofen 8 as a neurotransmitter inhibitor drug molecule

Abstract

We synthesized a new class of bifunctional catalysts bearing a thiourea moiety and an amino group on a chiral scaffold. Among them, thiourea 1e bearing 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene and dimethylamino groups was revealed to be highly efficient for the asymmetric Michael reaction of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to nitroolefins. Furthermore, we have developed a new synthetic route for (R)-(−)-baclofen and a chiral quaternary carbon center with high enantioselectivity by Michael reaction. In these reactions, we assumed that a thiourea moiety and an amino group of the catalyst activates a nitroolefin and a 1,3-dicarbonyl compound, respectively, to afford the Michael adduct with high enantio- and diastereoselectivity.

Synthesis of (R)–(−)-Baclofen. γ-Amino butylic acid (GABA) plays an important role as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS) of mammalians,^20,21 and the deficiency of GABA is associated with diseases that exhibit neuromuscular dysfunctions such as epilespy, Huntington’s and Parkinson’s diseases, etc.²² Baclofen is a lipophilic analogue of GABA, and it is widely used as an antispastic agent. Although baclofen is commercialized in its racemic form, it has been reported that its biological activity resides exlusively in the (R)-enantiomer.²³ We next applied our enantioselective Michael reaction for the synthesis of (R)-(−)-baclofen (Scheme 1). The reaction of 4-chlorobenzaldehyde with nitromethane and subsequent dehydration of the resultant alcohol 8 provided nitroolefin 9, which was reacted with diethyl malonate 3a in the presence of 10 mol % of 1e to afford the adduct 10 in 80% yield with 94% ee. Furthermore, enantiomerically pure 10 (>99% ee) was obtained after single recrystallization from Hexane/EtOAc. Reduction of the nitro group with nickel borite and in situ lactonization gave lactone 11 in 94%. The ester group of 11 was hydrolyzed and decarboxylated to afford 12. The specific rotation of 12 was compared with that of literature data²⁴ ([α]³⁰_D −39.7° (c 1.00, EtOH), lit. [α]²⁵_D −39.0° (c 1, EtOH)), and, as expected, the absolute configuration of 12 was determined to be R. Lactam 12 was finally hydrolyzed with 6N HCl, affording enantiomerically pure (R)-(−)-baclofen as its hydrochloric salt with 38% overall yield in six steps from 4-chlorobenzaldehyde. Consequently, we succeeded in the synthesis of (R)-(−)-baclofen by the simple procedure with high enantioselctivity.

Image result for baclofen synthesis The thiourea catalyst L7 bearing 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl) benzene and dimethylamino groups has been revealed to be efficient for the asymmetric Michael reaction of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to nitroolefins (Scheme 8). This methodology has been applied for the total synthesis of (R)-(−)-baclofen. Reaction of 4-chloronitrostyrene and 1,3-dicarbonyl compound generates quaternary carbon center with 94% ee. Reduction of the nitro gruop to amine and subsequent cyclization, esterification and ring opening provides ( R )-(−)-baclofen in 38% yield.

FDA approves CAR-T cell therapy Yescarta (axicabtagene ciloleucel) to treat adults with certain types of large B-cell lymphoma

October 19, 2017 1:36 am / Leave a comment

FDA approves CAR-T cell therapy to treat adults with certain types of large B-cell lymphoma

Yescarta is the second gene therapy product approval in the U.S.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Yescarta (axicabtagene ciloleucel), a cell-based gene therapy, to treat adult patients with certain types of large B-cell lymphoma who have not responded to or who have relapsed after at least two other kinds of treatment. Yescarta, a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, is the second gene therapy approved by the FDA and the first for certain types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Continue reading.

Axicabtagene ciloleucel is a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy for the treatment of Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), which is a type of a non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). It is the second cell-based gene therapy that is FDA-approved but the first in the treatment of large B-cell lymphoma in adult patients. Uniquely, axicabtagene ciloleucel utilizes each patient’s own immune system where each dose of the drug consists of the patient’s genetically modified T-cells that were previously collected. The modified version of the T-cell expresses a new gene that targets and kills the lymphoma cells and is infused back into the patient.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of NHL in adults that mostly originates from the lymph nodes but can initiate outside of the lymphatic system. Lymphoma cells appear to be much larger in size than normal lymphocytes. In a multicenter clinical trial, the patients who were treated with axicabtagene ciloleucel achieved the complete remission rate of 51%.

Developed by Kite Pharma, Inc., it was approved on October 18th, 2017 by the FDA as an intravenously infused anticancer therapy and is marketed under the brand name Yescarta

Axicabtagene ciloleucel (KTE-C19, Axi-cel), marketed as Yescarta, is an adoptive cell transfer therapy for used for certain cases of large B-cell lymphoma. In this treatment T cells from a person with cancer are removed, genetically engineered to make a specific T-cell receptor (a chimeric T cell receptor, or “CAR-T“) that reacts to the cancer, and are given back to the person.^[1] Axicabtagene carries a risk for cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurological toxicities.^[1]

The person’s T-cells are engineered to target CD19.^[1] The CD19 are found on the surface of certain cancerous cells.^[1] The cost for treatment is 373,000 USD in the United States.^[2]

Side effects

Because treatment with axicabtagene carries a risk of cytokine release syndrome and neurological toxicities, the FDA has mandated that hospitals be certified for its use.^[1]

History

It was developed by California-based Kite Pharma.

Axi-cel was awarded US FDA breakthrough therapy designation on October 18, 2017 for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, transformed follicular lymphoma, and primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma.^[3] It also received priority review and Orphan drug designation.^[1]

Based on the ZUMA-1 trial, Kite submitted a biologics license application for axicabtagene in March 2017 for the treatment of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.^[4]

The FDA granted approval on October 18 for the second-line treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.^[5]^[1]

Abstract

Reboxetine mesylate is a selective norepinephrine uptake inhibitor (NRI) currently marketed as the racemate. The (S,S)-enantiomer of reboxetine is being evaluated for the treatment of neuropathic pain and a variety of other indications. (S,S)-Reboxetine has usually been prepared by resolution of the racemate as the (−)-mandelate salt, an inherently inefficient process. A chiral synthesis starting with a Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation of cinnamyl alcohol to yield (R,R)-phenylglycidol was developed. (R,R)-Phenylglycidol was reacted without isolation with 2-ethoxyphenol to give 4, which was isolated by direct crystallization. Key process variables for the asymmetric epoxidation were investigated. Conversion of (R,S)-4 to reboxetine parallels the racemic synthesis with streamlined and optimized processing conditions. (S,S)-Reboxetine free base was converted directly to the succinate salt without isolation as the mesylate salt.

Abstract

The development of a synthetic process for (S,S)-reboxetine succinate, a candidate for the treatment of fibromylagia, is disclosed from initial scale-up to deliver material for registrational stability testing through to commercial route evaluation and subsequent nomination. This entailed evaluation of several alternative routes to result in what would have been a commercially attractive process for launch of the compound.
