SYN
Heterocycles 2016, 92, 1599


Our initial synthetic route of Serglifrozin etabonate (1) in early development consisted of six steps,
including synthesis of tetra-O-acetyl-D-glucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (9), as shown in Scheme 1
and Scheme 2 The first step is the coupling reaction of phenol (3) and 4-methoxybenzyl chloride (4) in the presence of
lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LiOH·H2O) to provide the aglycon 5 in a 30% yield following
chromatographic purification (Scheme 1). We prepared 9 separately by mono-deacetylation of
penta-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranose (7) with N,N-dimethylethylenediamine in THF followed by reaction of
the crude product of 8 with trichloroacetonitrile in the presence of potassium carbonate (K2CO3) in ethyl
acetate (EtOAc) (Scheme 2). Next, we carried out glycosylation of 5 with 9 in the presence of boron
trifluoride diethyl etherate (BF3·OEt2) in EtOAc to produce 6 in a 77% yield. The obtained 6 was
deacetylated with sodium methoxide (NaOMe) in MeOH to produce Serglifrozin (2) in a 73% yield, and
reaction of the isolated 2 with ethyl chloroformate in the presence of 2,6-lutidine in acetone provided 1 in
a 66% yield. The overall yield from 3 was 11%. While this route was capable of supplying small
amounts of 1, it suffered from several disadvantages.
The coupling reaction between 3 and 4 provided the aglycon 5 in low yield (30%); thus, chromatographic
purification was required to obtain highly pure 5. The trichloroimidation reaction of 8 is too hazardous
for large-scale manufacturing, because an excess amount of trichloroacetonitrile, a volatile and highly
toxic reagent, is required to obtain the trichloroacetimidate 9. Furthermore, 9 is too unstable to use
conveniently in large-scale manufacturing. Trichloroacetamide, a sublimation compound, is formed as a
by-product from the glycosylation of 5 with 9. Thus, the vacuum line and the vacuum pump of the
manufacturing equipment would be polluted by trichloroacetamide.
Because of these issues, this synthetic method is unsuitable for large-scale manufacturing. Therefore,
we investigated alternative processes for the preparation of 1, suitable for large-scale manufacturing. An improved synthetic method for 1 was achieved in a five-step procedure without purification of 6
(intermediate), as shown in Scheme 3.

The Friedel-Crafts acylation of anisole (10) with 2-methoxybenzoyl chloride (11) in the presence of
aluminum chloride (AlCl3) at 110 °C provided benzophenone (12), which was selectively demethylated
on the methoxy group at the 2-position. The crude product of 12 was crystallized from MeOH to
provide highly pure 12 in a 78% yield. Hydrogenation of 12 in EtOH with 0.3–0.4 MPa H2 at room
temperature in the presence of 10% Pd/C provided 5. The crude product of 5 was crystallized from
toluene/n-heptane to provide highly pure 5 in an 88% yield.
The key step of the synthesis was the formation of the O-glycosylated product 6. In the initial synthesis,
it was necessary to isolate 6 to remove trichloroacetamide. Consequently, 2 was provided in a 56%
yield from 5. To obtain 6 efficiently without using the trichloroacetimidate (9), we evaluated several
conditions for the direct O-glycosylation of 5 with 7. The results are summarized in Table 1. The
O-glycosylation of 5 with 7 (200 mol%) in the presence of boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (BF3·OEt2;
100 mol%) in dichloromethane (DCM) at room temperature provided the crude product of 6 with a good
yield (80%) and β-selectivity (94/6), and then the deacetylation of the crude product of 6 in the presence
of sodium methoxide (NaOMe) in MeOH proceeded almost quantitatively to provide 2 in a 71% isolated
yield from 5 (run 1). Using this method, it was not necessary to isolate 6 because the excess amount of
7 was converted to glucose and removed to the aqueous layers in the deacetylation step. Use of DCM is
undesirable for large-scale manufacturing because quenching of O-glycosylation with water is highly
exothermic and washing of the DCM layer with water is a complicated procedure. Additionally, it is
strongly desirable to avoid using DCM in a manufacturing process due to environmental issues. For the reasons mentioned above, we attempted to use toluene as an alternative solvent. The O-glycosylation in
the presence of BF3·OEt2 (100 mol%) in toluene at 30 °C did not proceed completely, and the yield of 6
was lower than run 1 (run 2). We concluded that the lower solubility of 7 in toluene, compared with
DCM, caused the low yield. Because it was difficult to increase the amount of toluene from the
perspective of manufacturing efficiency, we tried to improve its solubility by optimizing the reagent
equivalent. Fortunately, we found that an excess amount of BF3·OEt2 enhanced the solubility of 7 in
toluene, and using 300 mol% of BF3·OEt2 in toluene provided 6 in a good yield (80%), similar to that
when using DCM (run 3). In contrast, reducing the amount of 7 provided 6 in an insufficient yield, and
2 was consequently provided in a lower yield (60%) (run 4). To achieve higher β-selectivity and an
increased yield, triethylamine (Et3N) was added to the O-glycosylation of 5 with 7 in the presence of
BF3·OEt2, according to the method of Lee et al.
9 Addition of Et3N (30 mol%) at 30 °C resulted in both
higher yield (89%) and higher β-selectivity (97/3) to provide 2 with a 79% isolated yield (run 5).
Increasing the amount of Et3N to 60 mol% at 30 °C resulted in a lower yield (85%) of 6 compared with
run 5, and the yield of 2 decreased (74%) (run 6). Increasing the reaction temperature to 40 °C in the
presence of 60 mol% of Et3N achieved the best results for both high yield (90%) and high β-selectivity
(99/1) to provide 2 in an 80% yield (run 7).

Sergliflozin etabonate (16), also known as GW869682X, was developed collaboratively by GlaxoSmithKline and Kissei Pharmaceutical (Japan). Unfortunately, it did not pass phase III trials. It belongs to the class of sodium–glucose linked transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and acts as a prodrug of sergliflozin, with the ethyl carbonate group referred to as etabonate. When compared to phlorizin, sergliflozin etabonate demonstrated significantly higher activity against SGLT2 than SGLT1. The initial synthetic route for the preparation of sergliflozin was described and patented by Kissei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. This particular route for Oaryl-glycoside-type derivatives was registered in the United States under patent application number US6872706B2.73 The first reported synthesis of sergliflozin etabonate
(16), which involves six steps, can be found in the patents US6872706B2 73a and WO2001068660A1 (Scheme 48).73b Compound 271 was prepared in a high yield of 96% follow ing a literature procedure. The selective monodeacetylationof penta-O-acetyl-b-D-glucopyranose, compound 269, was
achieved using N,N-dimethylethylenediamine in THF, resulting in the formation of compound 270. Subsequently, a reaction with trichloroacetonitrile and potassium carbonate led to the synthesis of intermediate 271 in excellent yield. To prepare the aglycone intermediate 268, phenol (235) was condensed with 4-methoxybenzyl chloride (267) using LiOH under reflux conditions. Further,O-glycosyla
tion of compound 268 with 271 was accomplished using boron trifluoride–diethyl etherate (BF3·OEt2), yielding intermediate 272. Removal of the acetyl groups from intermediate 272 was carried out using NaOMe in methanol to obtain sergliflozin (16a) in a yield of 73%. Finally, sergliflozin etabonate (16) was obtained by reacting compound 16a with ethyl chloroformate and 2,6-lutidine, resulting in a yield of
66%. The overall yield of sergliflozin etabonate (16a) was calculated to be 11%. It is important to note that the trichloroimidation reaction used in the synthesis of trichloroacetimidate 271 is considered hazardous and is not recommended for commercial use due to the highly toxic reagent, trichloroaceto
nitrile. Additionally, the process poses challenges in effectively removing the unwanted by-product, trichloroacetamide, formed during the preparation.A recently published approach presents an alternative synthesis of sergliflozin etabonate (16) that avoids the use of a trichloroacetimidate intermediate (Scheme 49).74a The five-step synthesis of compound 16a commenced from
readily available anisole (273a). An efficient Friedel–Crafts reaction was performed on anisole (273a) using the acid chloride 273 in the presence of aluminum chloride in chlorobenzene, leading to formation of benzophenone 274. Notably, demethylation of 274 was also observed under these
conditions. Next, ketone group reduction was achieved us ing 10% Pd/C and ethanol under 0.3–0.4 MPa of H2, providing compound 268 in 88% yield and high purity. Subsequently, O-glycosylation of 268 with penta-acetylated com pound 269 was carried out using BF3·Et2O and triethylamine, resulting in the formation of 272 in 90% yield with a high b-selectivity (99:1).74b Deacetylation of compound 272 was performed using NaOMe in methanol, affording sergliflozin (16a) in 80% yield. Further reaction with
ethyl chloroformate in the presence of 2,6-lutidine resulted in sergliflozin etabonate (16). The overall yield of compound 16 was calculated to be 41%. This novel synthetic route offers a promising alternative to the traditional method and demonstrates improved efficiency in the preparation of sergliflozin etabonate (16)

CARLSBAD, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Aug. 21, 2025– Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: IONS) announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved DAWNZERA™ (donidalorsen) for prophylaxis to prevent attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older. DAWNZERA is the first and only RNA-targeted medicine approved for HAE, designed to target plasma prekallikrein (PKK), a key protein that activates inflammatory mediators associated with acute attacks of HAE. DAWNZERA 80mg is self-administered via subcutaneous autoinjector once every four (Q4W) or eight weeks (Q8W).

HAE is a rare and potentially life-threatening genetic condition that involves recurrent attacks of severe swelling (angioedema) in various parts of the body, including the hands, feet, genitals, stomach, face and/or throat. HAE is estimated to affect approximately 7,000 people in the U.S.
“DAWNZERA represents a significant advance for people living with HAE who need improved treatment options. With strong and durable efficacy, convenient administration and the longest dosing option available, we believe DAWNZERA will be the prophylactic treatment of choice for many people living with HAE. Importantly, the recently published switch data empowers patients and physicians with a roadmap for switching to DAWNZERA from other prophylactic therapies,” said Brett P. Monia, Ph.D., chief executive officer, Ionis. “At Ionis, we are dedicated to turning groundbreaking science into life-changing medicines. With the early success of our first independent launch of TRYNGOLZA® for familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS), and now with DAWNZERA, our second independent medicine approved in less than nine months, we are proudly delivering on that vision. To the patients, families, advocacy partners and investigators who helped make this moment a reality, we express our deepest gratitude.”
The approval of DAWNZERA was based on positive results from the Phase 3 global, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled OASIS-HAE study in patients with HAE. The study met its primary endpoint, with DAWNZERA Q4W significantly reducing monthly HAE attack rate by 81% compared to placebo over 24 weeks. Mean attack rate reduction increased to 87% when measured from the second dose, a key secondary endpoint. Additionally, DAWNZERA Q4W reduced moderate-to-severe HAE attacks by ~90% over 24 weeks when measured from the second dose.
These results are bolstered by the ongoing OASISplus open-label extension (OLE) study, in which DAWNZERA Q8W had a similar effect as Q4W over time. DAWNZERA demonstrated 94% total mean attack rate reduction from baseline across both dosing groups after one year in the OLE.
The OASISplus study also includes a switch cohort evaluating DAWNZERA Q4W in patients previously treated with lanadelumab, C1-esterase inhibitor or berotralstat for at least 12 weeks. Switching to DAWNZERA reduced mean HAE attack rate by 62% from prior prophylactic treatment over 16 weeks, with no mean increase in breakthrough attacks observed during the switch. A total of 84% of patients surveyed preferred DAWNZERA over their prior prophylactic treatment, citing better disease control, less time to administer and less injection site pain or reactions.
Across clinical studies, DAWNZERA demonstrated a favorable safety and tolerability profile. The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥ 5%) were injection site reactions, upper respiratory tract infection, urinary tract infection and abdominal discomfort.
“As the first FDA-approved RNA-targeted therapy for HAE, DAWNZERA represents a welcome advance in therapeutic options for preventing attacks. Today’s approval gives people living with HAE and their physicians another important choice for aligning treatment with individual needs,” said Anthony J. Castaldo, CEO & chairman of the board, U.S. Hereditary Angioedema Association (HAEA) and Hereditary Angioedema International (HAEi).
“People living with HAE manage this condition for all their lives, and many continue to face unpredictable, painful and dangerous breakthrough attacks even with current treatments. Durable efficacy is essential in maintaining long-term disease control,” said Marc Riedl, M.D., M.S., clinical director, U.S. HAEA Angioedema Center; University of California, San Diego; OASIS-HAE and OASISplus trial investigator. “DAWNZERA is positioned to help meet patient needs, providing substantial and sustained reduction of HAE attacks, continued improvement over time and reduced burden of treatment.”
DAWNZERA will be available in the U.S. in the coming days.
Ionis is committed to helping people access the medicines they are prescribed and will offer a suite of services designed to meet the unique needs of the HAE community through Ionis Every Step™. As part of Ionis Every Step, patients and healthcare providers will have access to a wide range of support and resources including dedicated support from a Patient Education Manager, assistance with the insurance approval process, information on affordability programs, access to the DAWNZERA Direct digital companion and other ongoing services and resources to help patients stay on track.

A new treatment has been shown to significantly lower blood pressure in people whose levels stay dangerously high, despite taking several existing medicines, according to the results of a Phase III clinical trial led by a UCL Professor. Globally, around 1.3 billion people have high blood pressure (hypertension), and in around half of cases the condition is uncontrolled or treatment resistant. These individuals face a much greater risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney disease, and early death. In the UK the number of people with hypertension is around 14 million.
The international BaxHTN trial, led by Professor Bryan Williams (UCL Institute of Cardiovascular Science), assessed the new drug baxdrostat—which is taken as a tablet—with participation from nearly 800 patients across 214 clinics worldwide.
Results were presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2025 in Madrid and were simultaneously published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The trial results showed that, after 12 weeks, patients taking baxdrostat (1 mg or 2 mg once daily in pill form) saw their blood pressure fall by around 9-10 mmHg more than placebo—a reduction large enough to cut cardiovascular risk. About four in 10 patients reached healthy blood pressure levels, compared with fewer than two in 10 on placebo.
Principal Investigator, Professor Williams, who is presenting the results at ESC, said, “Achieving a nearly 10 mmHg reduction in systolic blood pressure with baxdrostat in the BaxHTN Phase III trial is exciting, as this level of reduction is linked to substantially lower risk of heart attack, stroke, heart failure and kidney disease.”
How baxdrostat works
Blood pressure is strongly influenced by a hormone called aldosterone, which helps the kidneys regulate salt and water balance.
Some people produce too much aldosterone, causing the body to hold onto salt and water. This aldosterone dysregulation pushes blood pressure up and makes it very difficult to control.
Addressing aldosterone dysregulation has been a key effort in research over many decades, but it has been so far difficult to achieve.
Baxdrostat works by blocking aldosterone production, directly addressing this driver of high blood pressure (hypertension).
Professor Williams, Chair of Medicine at UCL, said, “These findings are an important advance in treatment and in our understanding of the cause of difficult-to-control blood pressure.
“Around half of people treated for hypertension do not have it controlled, however this is a conservative estimate and the number is likely higher, especially as the target blood pressure we try to reach is now much lower than it was previously.
“In patients with uncontrolled or resistant hypertension, the addition of baxdrostat 1mg or 2mg once daily to background antihypertensive therapy led to clinically meaningful reductions in systolic blood pressure, which persisted for up to 32 weeks with no unanticipated safety findings.
“This suggests that aldosterone is playing an important role in causing difficult to control blood pressure in millions of patients and offers hope for more effective treatment in the future.”
Historically, higher-income Western countries were reported to have far higher levels of hypertension. However, largely due to changing diets (adding less salt to food), the numbers of people living with the condition is now far higher in Eastern and lower-income countries. More than half of those affected live in Asia, including 226 million people in China and 199 million in India.
Professor Williams added, “The results suggest that this drug could potentially help up to half a billion people globally—and as many as 10 million people in the UK alone, especially at the new target level for optimal blood pressure control.”

Linaprazan is a lipophilic, weak base with potassium-competitive acid blocking (P-CAB) activity. Linaprazan concentrates highly in the gastric parietal cell canaliculus and on entering this acidic environment is instantly protonated and binds competitively and reversibly to the potassium binding site of the proton pump hydrogen-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (H+/K+ ATPase), thereby inhibiting the pump’s activity and the parietal cell secretion of H+ ions into the gastric lumen, the final step in gastric acid production.
Linaprazan is an experimental drug for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Unlike the proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) which are typically used to treat GERD, linaprazan is a potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB).[1][2] Linaprazan was developed by AstraZeneca, but it was not successful in clinical trials.[3]
The drug was then licensed to Cinclus Pharma,[4] which is now investigating linaprazan glurate, a prodrug of linaprazan which is expected to have a longer biological half-life than linaprazan itself.[4]
Linaprazan glurate inhibits exogenously or endogenously stimulated gastric acid secretion. Linaprazan glurate exhibits several favorable properties, such as rapid onset of action, high in vivo potency, and/or prolonged duration of action. Linaprazan glurate is useful in the research of gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases and peptic ulcer disease (disclosed in patent WO2010063876A1).

Linaprazan is a potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB) initially developed by AstraZeneca between 2001 and 2005 for treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Subsequently, Cinclus Pharma ac
quired the rights to linaprazan and developed linaprazan glurate. In 2024, the NMPA approved linaprazan glurate for the treatment of moderate to severe GERD, marking Cinclus Pharma’s first marketing approval in China. Linaprazan glurate is a P-CAB that inhibits gastric acid secretion by reversibly blocking the potassium-binding site of the gastric H+/K +-ATPase enzyme, leading to rapid and sustained acid suppression [94]. Clinical efficacy was demonstrated in Phase III trials NCT04567810), showing superior acid suppression and symptom relief compared to PPIs in GERD patients. Regarding toxicity, linaprazan was generally well tolerated in clinical studies. However, some issues were
noted, such as elevated liver transaminases in a few patients, which were addressed in the development of linaprazan glurate by achieving lower peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) to minimize liver load 95,96]. The synthetic route of Linaprazan, shown in Scheme 22 [97], initiates with condensative Cyclization between Lina-001 and Lina-002 to yield Lina-003. This intermediate undergoes nucleophilic substitution with Lina-004 under basic conditions to generate Lina-005. Final thermolytic amidation of Lina-005 at 100 DEG CENT affords Linaprazan

Pradefovir is a cyclodiester antiviral prodrug with specific activity against hepatitis B virus (HBV). Pradefovir is specifically metabolized in the liver by hepatic enzymes, mainly by CYP4503A4, to adefovir. In turn, adefovir is phosphorylated by cellular kinases to its activated form adevofir diphosphate. By competing with the natural substrate dATP, the diphosphate form is incorporated into viral DNA and inhibits RNA-dependent DNA polymerase. This causes DNA chain termination and eventually results in an inhibition of HBV replication.

Pradefovir, developed by Xi’an Xintong Pharmaceutical Research Co., Ltd., is a liver-targeted nucleotide analog prodrug designed for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. It was approved
by the NMPA in 2024, under the brand name Xinshumu, for the treat ment of adult patients with chronic hepatitis B. Pradefovir utilizes HepDirect liver-targeting technology, allowing it to remain stable in the
gastrointestinal tract and bloodstream. It is specifically metabolized into its active form in the liver by the enzyme CYP3A4, leading to high hepatic concentrations and low systemic exposure. This targeted activation enhances antiviral efficacy while minimizing potential side effects on other organs. The clinical efficacy of pradefovir was demonstrated in a Phase III randomized, double-blind, positive-controlled trial (NCT04543565) involving patients with chronic hepatitis B. Participants were randomized to receive pradefovir or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in a 2:1 ratio, with a treatment duration of 96 weeks
followed by a 48-week open-label extension. Interim analysis conducted after 48 weeks showed that pradefovir achieved comparable reductions in HBV DNA levels to TDF, with a favorable safety profile. Regarding safety, pradefovir exhibited a favorable profile [90]. The total occurrence rate of adverse events was similar in both the pradefovir and TDF groups. Nevertheless, the incidence of drug-related adverse events was notably lower in the pradefovir group. Significantly, compared to the typical concerns associated with nucleotide analogs, pradefovir showed a diminished influence on renal function and bone mineral density. This is a crucial aspect considering the known side-effects of nucleotide an alogs in clinical applications, where issues related to kidney function and bone health often pose challenges. Pradefovir, in contrast, appears to have a more favorable safety profile in these regards, which could potentially offer significant advantages in long-term treatment scenarios
[91]. Additionally, it had minimal effects on lipid profiles, suggesting a lower potential risk for cardiovascular events during long-term therapy.
The approval of pradefovir mesylate offers a new therapeutic option for adult patients with chronic hepatitis B, providing effective antiviral activity with an improved safety profile, particularly concerning renal and bone health [92,93].
The synthetic route of Pradefovir Mesylate is shown in Scheme 21 [93]. The route commences with a stereoselective reduction of Prad-001 employing ( )-DIP-Cl, affording Prad-002. Subsequent acid-catalyzed cyclodehydration between the hydroxyl groups of Prad-002 and Prad-003 generates Pradefovir, followed by mesylate salt formation to complete the synthesis.

Bevifibatide, developed by Bio-Thera Solutions, is a synthetic peptide that functions as a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GP IIb/IIIa) receptor antagonist. It is marketed under the brand name Beitaning. In 2024, the
NMPA approved Bevifibatide citrate injection for use in patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), including coronary stent implantation, to reduce the risk of acute occlusion, in-stent thrombosis, no-reflow, and slow flow phenomena. Bevifibatide exerts its therapeutic effects by specifically binding to the GP IIb/IIIa receptors on platelets, thereby inhibiting the binding of fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor, and other adhesive ligands to these receptors [80]. This inhibition prevents platelet aggregation, reducing the risk of thrombotic complications during and after PCI procedures. The clinical efficacy of Bevifibatide was demonstrated in a multicenter Phase III trial involving patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing PCI (NCT04567890). The study achieved its primary efficacy endpoint, with the composite endpoint event rate at 30 days post-procedure being significantly lower in the Bevifibatide group (4.06%) compared to the control group (6.56 %), indicating superior antithrombotic efficacy. Regarding toxicity, Bevifibatide was generally well-tolerated. The most common adverse events included bleeding complications, which are consistent with the pharmacological action of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors. These events were manageable with appropriate clinical interventions, and the overall safety profile was comparable to other agents in its class. The approval of Bevifibatide provides a new therapeutic option for patients undergoing PCI, aiming to enhance procedural safety by mitigating thrombotic risks associated with such
interventions [81].
The synthetic route of Bevifibatide, shown in Scheme 19, comprises sequential amidation reactions: Bevi-001 reacts with Bevi-002 to form Bevi-003, which undergoes deprotection and subsequent coupling with
Bevi-004 to generate Bevi-005 [82]. This intermediate undergoes consecutive amidation steps with Bevi-006 and Bevi-008, producing Bevi-007 and Bevi-009 respectively. Bevi-009 then reacts with Bevi-010
to form Bevi-011, followed by coupling with Bevi-012 to yield Bevi-013. Subsequent amidation with Bevi-014 produces Bevi-015, which undergoes TFA-mediated deprotection to give Bevi-016. The final synthesis involves oxidation of the sulfhydryl group in Bevi-016 followed by iodine-mediated coupling to afford Bevifibatide.

Tegileridine fumarate, developed by Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuti
cals Co., Ltd., is a novel small-molecule analgesic that functions as a
complete opioid receptor agonist with relative selectivity for -opioid
receptors (MOR). It is marketed under the brand name Aisute. In 2024,
the NMPA approved Tegileridine fumarate injection for the treatment of moderate to severe pain following abdominal surgery. Tegileridine ex
erts its analgesic effects by activating MOR, leading to inhibition of
adenylate cyclase activity, decreased intracellular cAMP levels, and
subsequent modulation of ion channel conductance. This results in hy
perpolarization of neuronal membranes and reduced neuronal excit
ability, effectively alleviating pain. The clinical efficacy of Tegileridine
was evaluated in a Phase III randomized, double-blind, placebo-
controlled trial (NCT05012516) involving patients experiencing mod
erate to severe pain after abdominal surgery. The research indicated that
Tegileridine offered substantial alleviation of pain in contrast to the
placebo. It manifested a quick-acting property, and its analgesic effects
endured throughout the period of observation. In terms of toxicity,
Tegileridine was typically well-tolerated by the subjects. The most
frequently encountered adverse reactions were nausea, vomiting, and
dizziness, all of which were of mild to moderate intensity. Importantly,
Tegileridine exhibited a favorable safety profile with a lower incidence
of gastrointestinal adverse reactions compared to traditional MOR ag
onists, potentially offering an improved therapeutic window for post
operative pain management. The approval of Tegileridine provides a
new treatment option for patients suffering from moderate to severe
postoperative pain, particularly following abdominal surgeries,
addressing a significant clinical need in pain management [72,73].
The synthesis of Tegileridine fumarate, illustrated in Scheme 17,
begins with nucleophilic substitution reaction involving Tegi-001 to
yield Tegi-002 [74]. Tegi-002 is subsequently acidified to produce
Tegi-003. Finally, Tegi-003 undergoes reductive amination with
Tegi-004 to synthesize Tegileridine.

Synthesis 2024, 56, 906–943
In 2007, Boehringer-Ingelheim Vetmedica GmbH pioneered the development of velagliflozin (15), subsequently submitting a patent application in the United States with the identification number US7776830B2.72a More recently, through clinical investigations, this compound has demonstrated its efficacy as an SGLT2 inhibitor, proving adept at curtailing glucose reabsorption, encouraging glucosuria,
and leading to reductions in both blood glucose and insulin levels.
The initial synthesis of velagliflozin (15) was also disclosed in the above patent,72a and in patent
WO2007128749A1.72b The synthesis, depicted in Scheme46, comprises of nine-steps starting with the readily available raw material 2-bromo-5-iodobenzoic acid (250), which undergoes reduction using LiBH4 to form the corresponding alcohol 251. Subsequently, chlorination is carried out using thionyl chloride, resulting in the formation of chloride 252. O-Alkylation of phenol with compound 252 is
then conducted in a basic medium, yielding intermediate 253.The C-glycosylation of 253 with 2,3,4,6-tetrakis-O(trimethylsilyl)-D-glucopyranone 22 in the presence of turbo Grignard reagent (isopropylmagnesium chloride and LiCl) and methanesulfonic acid in methanol gives compound
254 with an impressive 93% yield. The hydroxy group of in termediate 254 is protected using acetic anhydride, and themethoxy group is subsequently removed via Lewis acid (BF3·Et2O, Et3SiH) treatment, providing compound 255 in a yield of 60%. A metal-catalyzed cyano group installation is then performed on intermediate 255, leading to the formation of compound 256 in 84% yield. The subsequent steps involve benzylic bromination followed by coupling with cyclopropylphenyl boronic acid 260, resulting in the formation of intermediate 258. Finally, deacetylation of intermediate 258 using aqueous KOH produces the desired product
The overall yield obtained for velagliflozin (15) is calculated to be 11.3%, with this synthetic route providing a systematic and efficient approach. The highlight of the route is high-yielding chemical transformations. However, the drawback is the use of two palladium-mediated couplings
that increase the possibility of leaching of the toxic metal in scale-up batches. Additionally, the synthetic route requires a large number of chemical transformations and not best suited for commercial production.
The same authors reported an alternative method (Scheme 47) for the synthesis of velagliflozin (15) in the product patent.72 The aglycone intermediate 265 is accessed in two steps starting from ethyl 2-(4-bromophenyl)acetate (262). O-Glycosylation takes place with the aglycone
4-bromo-2-(4-cyclopropylbenzyl)benzonitrile (265) using 2,3,4,6-tetrakis-O-(trimethylsilyl)-D-glucopyranone 22 in the presence of tert-butyllithium in pentane (1.7 M), resulting in the formation of compound 266. Reduction of compound 266 using boron trifluoride–diethyl etherate yields
the final API velagliflozin (15). This truncated synthetic route is well suited for scale-up due to the significantly low er number of transformations compared to the previous route. Unfortunately, the specific yields were not clearly in dicated for this process. This method presents an alternative approach to the synthesis of velagliflozin (15), providing a potential pathway for its preparation in 5 steps with
an overall yield of 40%.

Cetagliptin phosphate, developed by CGeneTec, is a DPP-4 inhibitor designed for the treatment of T2DM. In 2024, the NMPA approved cetagliptin phosphate for managing T2DM. As a member of the DPP-4inhibitor, Cetagliptin exerts its effect on glycemic regulation by impeding the breakdown of incretin hormones. This action leads to a glucose-dependent increase in insulin secretion and a concurrent decrease in glucagon levels. Multiple clinical investigations have attested to the effectiveness and safety profile of sitagliptin. In a particular instance, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study was carried out to assess the use of sitagliptin as a single-agent treatment in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes [67]. The study found that cetagliptin significantly reduced HbA1c levels compared to placebo, with a greater proportion of patients achieving target glycemic control.
The treatment was generally well tolerated, with a safety profile comparable to placebo [68,69]. Regarding toxicity, cetagliptin was well tolerated in clinical studies, with no significant increase in adverse effects compared to placebo. No drug-related hypoglycemia was reported,
indicating a favorable safety profile [70].
The synthesis of Cetagliptin, depicted in Scheme 16, initiates with Ceta-001 cyanidation affording Ceta-002, whose hydrogenative reduction yields Ceta-003 [71]. Subsequent amidation constructs Ceta-004,
followed by cyclization rearrangement producing Ceta-005. Hydrogenation delivers Ceta-006, which undergoes coupling with Ceta-007 assembling Ceta-008. Final TFA-mediated deprotection achieves

Since the listing application of a class of innovative drug Cetagliptin independently developed by CGeneTech was accepted by the State Food and Drug Administration, it has received great attention in the industry. Recently, the well-known industry media “Shell News Agency” also took this opportunity to comprehensively sort out the hot track and broad market prospects of domestic DPP-4 inhibitors. This article is shared with you. In the face of the high expectations given by the industry, CGeneTech will continue to run the last “one kilometer” of product launch with a scientific and rigorous attitude.
Diabetes (DM), as a chronic disease, has attracted much attention. Diabetes drugs have become the second largest drug market after tumor drugs, and it is also a place for pharmaceutical enterprises to compete.
With the development of medicine, some new drugs with different mechanism of action from traditional oral hypoglycemic drugs have emerged in recent years. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor is one of them. At present, there are dozens of DPP-4 inhibitors, which are collectively known as “gliptin drugs”. In the future, the market size of gliptin drugs in China will exceed 30 billion yuan.
Cetagliptin seven-year long run
On February 2, CGeneTech submitted to the National Drug Administration (NMPA) the marketing application (NDA) of Cetagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, which was mainly used to treat type 2 diabetes. This means that the domestic DPP-4 inhibitor market will usher in new members, and the official website of CGeneTech will also publicize the progress of Cetagliptin research and development in the product pipeline for the first time, and the listing has been confirmed.
Cetagliptin is a Class 1 innovative drug independently developed by CGeneTech, and once was its own fist product in its pipeline. It has also experienced a seven-year long run since its launch of research and development, and is about to hit the line successfully.
In 2006, the targeted hypoglycemic drug Sigliptin was approved by the FDA of the United States, which is undoubtedly a major event in the industry. Ten years later, CGeneTech completed the pre-clinical study of head-to-head comparison of Cetagliptin and Xigliptin.
At the beginning of 2018, CGeneTech launched the phase I clinical trial of head-to-head comparison of Cetagliptin and Xigliptin. Among nearly 200 patients in the Phase I clinical trial completed by Cetagliptin, the data showed that when the intake of Cetagliptin reached 50 mg, it was able to achieve the DPP-4 inhibition capacity equivalent to the intake of 100 mg of Xigliptin. Cetagliptin is administered once a day. It can reach the peak within 1 to 2 hours after administration, and has a longer half-life than Sigliptin, which can maintain stable glucose reduction for a longer time.

Diabetes requires long-term medication, and safety is the first factor to be considered when doctors choose drugs when prescribing. In the safety study, the adverse effects of the intake of Cetagliptin on the body of patients were almost undetectable, lower than that of the blank group and Sigliptin group. In addition, although Cetagliptin has a long half-life, there is no accumulation of residual drugs in the body in the phase I clinical trial, which reflects the high selectivity and strong inhibition of Cetagliptin. The beautiful phase I clinical trial data have provided the foundation for the later clinical trial research of Cetagliptin.
In 2019, Cetagliptin was officially approved by the National Drug Evaluation Center to “exempt Phase II clinical trials from Phase III trials”, becoming the first DPP-4 inhibitor in the world to pass the quantitative pharmacological model, exempt Phase II clinical trials, and directly carry out Phase III confirmatory trials, which attracted the attention of experts in the field of diabetes at home and abroad.
In October 2022, the unblinding results of Cetagliptin phase III clinical trial showed that the reduction of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in Cetagliptin tablet 50mg group reached the main clinical end point at the end of the 24th week, which was significantly superior to the control group. After 28 weeks, the Cetagliptin 100mg dose group also showed good drug safety, and the incidence of adverse reactions was similar to that of the placebo group. The clinical trial has shown the advantages of halving the dose but the same efficacy as similar products.
In February 2023, the marketing application (NDA) of Cetagliptin has been accepted by NMPA for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
The approval of Cetagliptin has attracted much attention, which means that CGeneTech will officially participate in the domestic hot track of DPP-4 inhibitors, and the market of 10 billion statins will usher in new members.
DPP-4 inhibitor track is hot
DPP-4 inhibitors play a hypoglycemic role mainly by inhibiting the degradation of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) by DPP-4 enzyme, promoting insulin and glucose dependent secretion, and inhibiting glucagon secretion, which can improve β Cell dysfunction does not increase the risk of hypoglycemia and body weight of patients. Moreover, DPP-4 inhibitor is a “mild and versatile”. It is mild, versatile and safe in reducing blood sugar. It is an oral drug that can be combined with various drugs in the whole process of management.
As the current mainstream hypoglycemic drug, DPP-4 inhibitor has become a hot spot in the eyes of major pharmaceutical enterprises. At present, there are five kinds of DPP-4 inhibitors that are taken daily on the market in China: Sigliptin, Viggliptin, Shagliptin, Aggliptin and Liggliptin, and these “five golden flowers” are included in the national health insurance list.
After entering medical insurance, the sales of several products have increased significantly. It is understood that from 2016 to 2022, the annual sales of DPP-4 inhibitors showed a continuous growth trend, with the highest year-on-year growth rate in 2018. In 2021 alone, the domestic sales of DPP-4 inhibitors reached nearly 7 billion yuan.
Sigliptin
Sigliptin is the first oral DPP-4 inhibitor on the market in the world, developed by MSD. It was approved by FDA for listing in October 2006; Sigliptin was approved for listing in China in September 2009; In July 2012, its compound preparation was approved for registration in China.
According to MSD’s annual report, the global market share of Sigliptin has been stable at more than US $3 billion in the past four years, ranking first in the global sales of DPP-4 inhibitors. At present, there are 14 pharmaceutical enterprises in China, including Zhengda Tianqing, Qilu Pharmaceutical, Kelun Pharmaceutical and Zhejiang Pharmaceutical, which have been copied and approved for production.
Viggliptin is the second DPP-4 inhibitor in the world developed by Novartis. In September 2007, Viggliptin was first approved for listing by the European Commission; In August 2011, it was officially approved for listing in China.
According to Novartis annual report, the global sales volume of Vigiletin has fluctuated steadily in recent years, basically maintaining at about 1.1 billion US dollars. The imitative production of Viggliptin in the domestic market is also hot. At present, 18 pharmaceutical enterprises such as Qilu Pharmaceutical, Yangzijiang Pharmaceutical, Jiangsu Haosen Pharmaceutical, Shandong Langnuo Pharmaceutical and Nanjing Shenghe Pharmaceutical have been approved for production. They are worthy of the title of the king of domestic imitative drugs for DPP-4 inhibitors.
Shagliptin was jointly developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb and AstraZeneca. It was approved by FDA for listing in July 2009; In May 2011, Shagliptin was approved for listing in China. Shagliptin’s overseas market share exceeded 20%. At present, there are five pharmaceutical enterprises in China, including Zhengda Tianqing, Qilu Pharmaceutical and Jiangsu Aosaikang Pharmaceutical, whose generic drugs have been approved for production.
Liggliptin was developed by BI. In May 2011, it was approved for listing by the FDA of the United States, and was jointly sold by Berger Ingelheim and Lilly. In March 2013, China approved the import registration of liggliptin. Liggliptin’s overseas market share exceeds 15%. At present, there are 6 pharmaceutical enterprises in China, including Guangdong East Sunshine Pharmaceutical, Yangzijiang Pharmaceutical and Kelun Pharmaceutical, which have been approved for production.
Agiletin
Agiletin was developed by Takeda Pharmaceutical of Japan. Approved for listing in Japan in April 2010; In January 2013, it was approved by the US FDA for listing; In July of the same year, Agiletin obtained the import registration certificate of China. According to the statistics of IQVIA, the sales amount of Agiletin in the Chinese market in 2022 was 52.36 million yuan. At present, 11 pharmaceutical enterprises such as Yabao Pharmaceutical, Ruiyang Pharmaceutical and Guorui Pharmaceutical of the National Pharmaceutical Group have been approved for production.
Throughout the domestic market of DPP-4 inhibitors, the original drugs and generic drugs of the “five golden flowers” are all in the Jianghu. In order to break the competition pattern, pharmaceutical enterprises have also invested in innovative self-research teams.
At present, the research and development of innovative DPP-4 inhibitors is also advancing rapidly. According to the data, in addition to the approval of CGeneTech’s Cetagliptin, many innovative DPP-4 inhibitors (excluding compound preparations) have entered the clinical research stage in China.
TQ-F3083 of Nanjing Shunxin, Shingliptin of Chenxin Pharmaceutical, and Boggliptin of Shandong Baiji Dichang Pharmaceutical are in clinical phase II; Fugliptin of Xinritai, DBPR108 of Shiyao Group, HSK7653 of Hisco and Unigliptin of Yuandong Biological are all in clinical phase III; Hengrui Pharmaceutical’s Retagliptin has submitted its listing application.
Although there are only a few “Ting” who have been approved to market independently developed DPP-4 inhibitors in China, the approval of Cetagliptin will take the lead in ushering in the harvest period of domestic innovative DPP-4 inhibitors, break the monopoly of non-self-developed DPP-4 inhibitors again, and give great confidence to pharmaceutical enterprises engaged in the research and development of DPP-4 inhibitors.
epilogue
The huge market potential of diabetes is like a magnet, attracting pharmaceutical enterprises to participate in the hot domestic track of DPP-4 inhibitors.
As the first oral DPP-4 inhibitor launched in the world and China, Sigliptin has been in the Chinese market for more than ten years, and still dominates the market. According to the Phase I clinical trial study, Cetagliptin has obtained significantly better data than Sigliptin in terms of efficacy, safety, half-life, toxicology and pathology, which will have considerable market persuasion and is expected to help it become a similar Best-in-class product, or change the curve overtaking into a competitive pattern.
Cetagliptin is only one step away from its listing. Not only is CGeneTech full of expectations for it, but also the industry has high expectations. Cetagliptin can be expected in the future, and we also expect more home-made original new “Ting” to come out.
