Few Case Studies : Source SEEENI LABS

QUOTE………….

One virtual biotech company customer from USA, through a common friend approached Sreeni Labs and told that they are buying a tetrapeptide from Bachem on mg scale at a very high price and requested us to see if we can make 5g. We accepted the challenge and developed solution phase chemistry and delivered 6g and also the process procedures in 10 weeks time. The customer told that they are using same procedures with very minor modifications and produced the tetrapeptide ip to 100kg scale as the molecule is in Phase III.

 

One East coast customer in our first meeting told that they are working with 4 CROs of which two are in India and two are in China and politely asked why they should work with Sreeni Labs. We told that give us a project where your CROs failed to deliver and we will give a quote and work on it. You pay us only if we deliver and you satisfy with the data. They immediately gave us a project to make 1.5g and we delivered 2g product in 9 weeks. After receiving product and the data, the customer was extremely happy as their previous CRO couldn’t deliver even a milligram in four months with 3 FTEs.

 

One Midwest biotech company was struggling to remove palladium from final API as they were doing a Suzuki coupling with a very expensive aryl pinacol borane and bromo pyridine derivative with an expensive ligand and relatively large amount of palldium acetate. The cost of final step catalyst, ligand and the palladium scavenging resin were making the project not viable even though the product is generating excellent data in the clinic. At this point we signed an FTE agreement with them and in four months time, we were able to design and develop a non suzuki route based on acid base chemistry and made 15g of API and compared the analytical data and purity with the Suzuki route API. This solved all three problems and the customer was very pleased with the outcome.

 

One big pharma customer from east coast, wrote a structure of chemical intermediate on a paper napkin in our first meeting and asked us to see if we can make it. We told that we can make it and in less than 3 weeks time we made a gram sample and shared the analytical data. The customer was very pleased and asked us to make 500g. We delivered in 4 weeks and in the next three months we supplied 25kg of the same product.

 

Through a common friend reference, a European customer from a an academic institute, sent us an email requesting us to quote for 20mg of a compound with compound number mentioned in J. med. chem. paper. It is a polycyclic compound with four contiguous stereogenic centers.  We gave a quote and delivered 35 mg of product with full analytical data which was more pure than the published in literature. Later on we made 8g and 6g of the same product.

 

One West coast customer approached us through a common friend’s reference and told that they need to improve the chemistry of an advanced intermediate for their next campaign. At that time they are planning to make 15kg of that intermediate and purchased 50kg of starting raw material for $250,000. They also put five FTEs at a CRO  for 5 months to optimize the remaining 5 steps wherein they are using LAH, Sodium azide,  palladium catalyst and a column chromatography. We requested the customer not to purchase the 50kg raw material, and offered that we will make the 15kg for the price of raw material through a new route  in less than three months time. You pay us only after we deliver 15 kg material. The customer didn’t want to take a chance with their timeline as they didn’t work with us before but requested us to develop the chemistry. In 7 weeks time, we developed a very simple four step route for their advanced intermediate and made 50g. We used very inexpensive and readily available starting material. Our route gave three solid intermediates and completely eliminated chromatographic purifications.

 

One of my former colleague introduced an academic group in midwest and brought us a medchem project requiring synthesis of 65 challenging polyene compounds on 100mg scale. We designed synthetic routes and successfully prepared 60 compounds in a 15 month time.

Isley et al. reported the use of the nonionic amphiphile TPGS-750-M (2 wt %) in water to facilitate nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions (SNAr) with oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur nucleophiles. The team eliminated the use of dipolar aprotic organic solvents traditionally required for SNAr reactions, such as dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylacetamide (DMAc), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP).
Moderate to high yields at ambient or slightly elevated temperatures (up to 45 °C) were observed, and a diverse substrate scope with respect to thermal stability was established. The team additionally demonstrated the ability to recycle the water/micelle mixture by extracting the product with organic solvent. Recycling of the aqueous media resulted in improving the E-factor and reducing aqueous waste ( Org. Lett. 2015, 17,4734−4737)., Supporting Info

Wang et al. described the development of a copper-catalyzed hydroxylation of aryl halides in water. The syntheses of phenols generally require the use of energy intensive and/or harsh reaction conditions which can impact the substrate scope. This methodology utilized a hydroxylated phenanthroline ligand to improve solubility in water. Optimization of this method through screening resulted in the selection of copper(I) oxide (Cu2O) as the copper source and tetrabutyl-ammonium hydroxide (TBAOH) at 110 °C. The TBAOH was proposed to function as both phase transfer catalyst and nucleophile, resulting in high yields and excellent selectivity toward phenol versus biphenyl ether.
The scope of this method with substituted aryl halides was demonstrated, affording excellent yields and high selectivity for para-substituted electron-rich and electron-deficient aryl bromides, as well as meta-substituted bromo-halides. Functional groups such as carboxyl and hydroxyl groups were also tolerated. The team additionally demonstrated a one-pot synthesis of either alkyl aryl ethers or benzofuran by trapping the in situ generated phenol with an alkyl bromide or through intramolecular cyclization ( Green Chem. 2015, 17, 3910−3915).

 An efficient catalytic protocol for hydroxylation of aryl halides in water is proposed to prepare phenols, ethers and benzofuran derivatives.
A thorough study of environmentally friendly hydroxylation of aryl halides is presented. The best protocol consists of hydroxylation of different aryl bromides and electron-deficient aryl chlorides by water solution of tetrabutylammonium hydroxide catalyzed by Cu2O/4,7-dihydroxy-1,10-phenanthroline. Various phenol derivatives can be obtained in excellent selectivity and great functional group tolerance. This methodology also provides a direct pathway for the formation of alkyl aryl ethers and benzofuran derivatives in a one-pot tandem reaction.

Jung et al. reported the use of a continuous flow reactor to synthesize propargylamines in an atom economic fashion using stoichiometric quantities of reagents, water as solvent, and generating only CO2 and water as byproducts. The team exploited the use of a pressurized tube reactor to achieve temperatures above the boiling point of water, enabling excellent yields (≥88%) and reasonable residence time (2 h).
This procedure improved the atom economy of previously reported methods for this transformation by eliminating the use of transition metal catalysts and excess of reagents. The substrate scope was demonstrated for multiple alkynyl carboxylic acids and secondary amines ( Tetrahedron. Lett. 2015, 56, 4697−4700).

Wang et al. reported the synthesis of an easily accessible diammonium functionalized Ru-alkylidene complex capable of ring-closing metathesis (RCM) and cross metathesis (CM) reactions in water. The NHBoc penultimate intermediate was isolated as an air-stable, nonhygroscopic Ru-alkylidene complex. Acidic cleavage of the Boc groups with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in dichloromethane generated the diammonium catalyst as a green solid after removal of volatiles under reduced pressure. The diammonium catalyst (5 mol %) achieved modest to high conversion to cyclic RCM products in D2O at ambient to elevated temperatures (up to 80 °C). Lowering the catalyst loading to 0.1 mol % established a turnover number (TON) of >900.
Homocoupling of allyl alcohol and long chain alkenylammonium salts provided the desired diammonium cross products in high yield/conversion. Short chain alkenyl-ammonium salts were poor substrates for the CM reaction.
Catalyst deactivation was attributed to the ammonium:free amine equilibration in water followed by Lewis basic nitrogen coordination to the Ru-center (Green Chem. 2015, 17, 3407−3414).

The same research group additionally reported the divergent functionalization of L-tyrosine to generate a family of tyrosine-derived Ru-alkylidene RCM catalysts. This common ligand precursor approach was utilized to successfully create not only a hydrophilic/water-soluble PEG Ru-alkylidene, but a hydrophobic alkane Ru-alkylidene for solvent-free catalysis and a solid-phase supported Ru-alkylidene to access a potentially recyclable precatalyst system.
The PEG Ru-alkylidene complex displayed poor solubility in water at 40 °C under ultrasonication, providing the desired model RCM product in only 25% conversion. >95% conversion was achieved by utilizing a 1:1 water–MeOH solvent system at 40 °C with 2.5 mol % catalyst loading. It was rationalized in the Green Chemistry report (vide supra) that functionalization of the benzylidene ligand to increase aqueous solubility may be problematic due to the dissociation of the labile ligand during the catalytic cycle, whereas functionalization of nondissociating NHC ligand could sustain the desired solubility throughout the reaction.
The hydrophobic alkane Ru-alkylidene provided solvent-free RCM and CM products in high conversion. The solid-phase Ru-alkylidene also provided the desired RCM products in high conversion and demonstrated stable performance after multiple catalyst recovery/reuse operations. Sustained leaching of Ru metal into the reaction media was monitored and observed for the recycled solid-phase catalyst method. However, this iterative loss of metal did not negatively impact conversion ( J. Org. Chem. 2015, 80, 7205−7211).

Abstract

A simple and generic approach to access a new family of Ru−alkylidene olefin metathesis catalysts with specialized properties is reported. This strategy utilizes a late stage, utilitarian Hoveyda-type ligand derived from tyrosine, which can be accessed via a multigram-scale synthesis. Further functionalization allows the catalyst properties to be tuned, giving access to modified second-generation Hoveyda−Grubbs-type catalysts. This divergent synthetic approach can be used to access solid-supported catalysts and catalysts that function under solvent-free and aqueous conditions.

Bhowmick et al. published a review “Water: the most versatile and nature’s friendly media in asymmetric organocatalyzed direct aldol reactions”. This review addressed the various types of organocatalysts based on (1) l-proline, (2) 4-hydroxy-l-proline, (3) amino acid derivatives, (4) enzymes, and (5) other miscellaneous catalysts applied to the aldol reaction in aqueous media. In general, the intermolecular asymmetric aldol reaction has been shown to perform poorly in pure aqueous media and is typically performed in organic solvents such as DMF, DMSO, etc.
However, structural modifications to l-proline and 4-hydroxy-l-proline have generated catalysts capable of asymmetric aldol reactions in aqueous media.
Examples provided in this review highlight (a) instances of enhanced reactivity using water as a solvent, cosolvent, or additive, (b) formation of enzyme mimics that use hydrophobic forces to reinforce substrate/catalyst binding, (c) the use of aqueous media to interrogate proposed transition state geometries, and (d) the pH dependence of organocatalyzed aldol reactions. Limitations presented in the review include (a) substrate specific catalyst activities, (b) multistep/low-yielding synthesis of the organocatalysts, (c) slow catalysis rate in pure aqueous media, (d) high catalyst loading, and (e) poor to moderate selectivity (Tetrahedron: Asymmetry 2015, 26, 1215−1244).

Hot water’s ability to promote unexpected reactions without any other reagents or catalysts.

Chinese and Japanese chemists have highlighted hot water’s ability to promote unexpected reactions without any other reagents or catalysts. The work should expand our understanding of how to harness the physicochemical properties of water to potentially replace more complex reagents and catalysts.

Above its critical point at 374°C and 218atm the properties of water change quite dramatically, explains Hiizu Iwamura from Nihon University in Tokyo. But even below that point, as water is heated, hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions are disrupted. ‘This means that organic compounds get more soluble and salts become insoluble in hot pressurised water,’ Iwamura says. Dissociation of water into hydroxide (OH–) and hydronium (H3O+) ions also increases, he adds, so there are higher concentrations of these ions available to act as catalysts for reactions.

Iwamura was synthesising triaroylbenzene molecules for a previous project on molecular magnets, using base-catalysed Michael addition reactions, when he first became interested in whether the reactions might work in water. He teamed up with a chemical engineer colleague, Toshihiko Hiaki, who is more familiar with working at the required temperatures and pressures. Together, they found that 4-methoxy-3-buten-2-one could be transformed into 1,3,5-triacetylbenzene in pressurised water at 150°C, with no other additives (see reaction scheme).1

Meanwhile, Jin Qu and her team at Nankai University in Tianjin have been investigating water-promoted reactions at lower temperatures, without the need for pressurised vessels, which Qu says is more accessible for many researchers and makes monitoring reactions easier. ‘In 2008, one of my students found he could hydrolyse epoxides in pure water at 60°C, in 90% yields,’ she explains. ‘At first I thought it was not very interesting, just a hydrogen-bonding effect, but as we found more examples I got more interested.’

More than a thermal effect

When Qu’s team hydrolysed an epoxide made from (-)-α-pinene, they found that at room temperature they got (-)-sobrerol, the product they expected. But at 60°C or higher, the sobrerol began to racemise, giving a mixture of the (+)- and (-)-forms (see reaction scheme). ‘We couldn’t understand why this was happening at first,’ says Qu, but eventually it became clear that the allylic alcohol group in the sobrerol, which is much less reactive than the epoxide in pinene, was also being hydrolysed. The same reactions happen at room temperature if acid is added, Qu says, but don’t happen in propanol or other alcoholic and hydrogen-bonding solvents heated to the same temperatures, so it is not simply a thermal effect.

Qu points out that these observations, along with those of Iwamura’s team, show that molecules that might usually be considered unreactive in water can undergo useful transformations. And these reactions can take place without other reagents or solvents, which would create extra waste streams. Also, owing to the decreased solubility of the organic product molecules when the solutions are cooled back to room temperature, they are often easy to purify as well.

Iwamura suggests that there are many other simple acid- and base-catalysed reactions that might be suitable for reacting in hot water. However, reactions with thermally unstable molecules, or those requiring delicate selectivity, are unlikely to be so effective at higher temperatures, he adds. He also makes a distinction between Qu’s work – in which the water molecules are directly involved in the reaction – and his own group’s, in which the water acts as the reaction medium and provides the catalyst. ‘Our reaction did not take place in water heated at reflux,’ Iwamura adds.

However, Hiaki points out that the potential environmental benefits of reduced waste streams will have little impact on industrial chemistry if the reactions remain confined to batch processes. ‘High temperature and pressure is detrimental for the scale up to commercial chemical plants,’ he says. For that reason, the team is developing a flow microreactor system that should be more industry compatible.REFERENCES, 1 T Iwado et al, J. Org.

Hydration: A process which adds water.

In this hydration reaction, 1-methylcyclohexene (an alkene) is reacted with aqueous H3O+ (formed from water and a strong acid such as H2SO4), resulting in Markovnikov addition of water across the pi bond. The product is an alcohol.


Syn, anti-Markovnikov addition of water to an alkene can be achieved via a hydroboration-oxidation reaction.

July 14, 2016 10:15 am / Leave a comment


Ospemifene.svg

Ospemifene is useful for treating menopause-induced vulvar and vaginal atrophy; while fispemifene is useful for treating symptoms related with male androgen deficiency and male neurological disorders.

In July 2016, Newport Premium™ reported that Olon was potentially interested in ospemifene and holds an active US DMF for ospemifene since September 2015. Olon’s website also lists ospemifene under R&D APIs portfolio.

WO2016108172

Process for preparing ospemifene or fispemifene, by reacting a phenol with an alkylating agent.

Ospemifene, the chemical name of which is 2-{4-[(lZ)-4-chloro-l,2-diphenyl-l-buten-l-yl]phenoxy}ethanol (Figure), is a non-steroidal selective oestrogen-receptor modulator (SERM) which is the active ingredient of a medicament recently approved for the treatment of menopause-induced vulvar and vaginal atrophy.

The preparation of ospemifene, which is disclosed in WO96/07402 and WO97/32574, involves the reaction sequence reported in Scheme 1 :

Ospemifene

Scheme 1

The first step involves alkylation of 1 with benzyl-(2-bromoethyl)ether under phase-transfer conditions. The resulting product 2 is reacted with triphenylphosphine and carbon tetrachloride to give chloro-derivative 3, from which the benzyl protecting group is removed by hydrogenolysis to give ospemifene.

A more direct method of preparing ospemifene is disclosed in WO2008/099059 and illustrated in Scheme 2.

Ospemifene

Scheme 2

Intermediate 5 (PG = protecting group) is obtained by alkylating 4 with a compound X-CH2-CH2-O-PG, wherein PG is a hydroxy protecting group and X is a leaving group (specifically chlorine, bromine, iodine, mesyloxy or tosyloxy), and then converted to ospemifene by removing the protecting group.

Alternatively (WO2008/099059), phenol 4 is alkylated with a compound of formula X-CH2-COO-R wherein X is a leaving group and R is an alkyl, to give a compound of formula 6, the ester group of which is then reduced to give ospemifene (Scheme 3)

Ospemifene

Scheme 3

Processes for the synthesis of ospemifene not correlated with those reported in schemes 2 and 3 are also disclosed in the following documents: CN104030896, WO2014/060640, WO2014/060639, CN103242142 and WO201 1/089385.

Fispemifene, the chemical name of which is (Z)-2-[2-[4-(4-chloro-l,2-diphenylbut-l-enyl)phenoxy]ethoxy]ethanol (Figure) is a non-steroidal selective oestrogen-receptor modulator (SERM), initially disclosed in WOO 1/36360. Publications WO2004/108645 and WO2006/024689 suggest the use of the product in the treatment and prevention of symptoms related with male androgen

deficiency. The product is at the clinical trial stage for the treatment of male neurological disorders.

According to an evaluation of the synthesis routes for ospemifene and fispemifene described in the literature, those which use compound 4 (Schemes 2 and 3) are particularly interesting, as 4 is also a key intermediate in the synthesis of toremifene, an oestrogen-receptor antagonist (ITMI20050278).

Leaving group X of the compound of formula 7 is preferably a halogen, such as chlorine, bromine or iodine, or an alkyl or arylsulphonate such as mesyloxy or tosyloxy.

In one embodiment of the invention, in the compound of formula 7, X is a leavmg group as defined above and Y is -(OCH2CH2)nOH wherein n is zero, and the reaction of 7 with 4 provides ospemifene, as reported in Scheme 4.

Scheme 4

In another embodiment of the invention, in the compound of formula 7, X and Y, taken together, represent an oxygen atom, the compound of formula 7 is ethylene oxide, and the reaction of 7 with 4 provides ospemifene, as reported in Scheme 5.

Scheme 5

In another embodiment of the invention, X is a leaving group as defined above and n is 1, and the reaction of 7 with 4 provides fispemifene, as reported in Scheme 6.

Scheme 6

The reaction between phenol 4 and alkylating reagent 7, wherein X is a leaving group as defined above and Y is the -(OCHbCEh^OH group as defined above, can be effected in an aprotic solvent preferably selected from ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, dimethoxyethane, tert-butyl methyl ether, amides such as N,N-dimethylformamide, Ν,Ν-dimethylacetamide and N-methylpyrrolidone, nitriles such as acetonitrile, and hydrocarbons such as toluene and xylene, in the presence of a base preferably selected from alkoxides, amides, carbonates, oxides or hydrides of an alkali or alkaline-earth metal, such as potassium tert-butoxide, lithium bis-trimethylsilylamide, caesium and potassium carbonate, calcium oxide and sodium hydride.

The reaction can involve the formation in situ of an alkali or alkaline earth salt of phenol 4, or said salt can be isolated and then reacted with alkylating reagent 7. Examples of phenol 4 salts which can be conveniently isolated are the sodium salt and the potassium salt. Said salts can be prepared by known methods, for example by treatment with the corresponding hydroxides (see preparation of the potassium salt of phenol 4 by treatment with aqueous potassium hydroxide as described in document ITMI20050278), or from the corresponding alkoxides, such as sodium methylate in methanol for the preparation of the sodium salt of phenol 4, as described in the examples of the present application.

Example 1

Sodium hydride (4.2 g) is loaded in portions into a solution of 4-(4-chloro-l,2-diphenyl-buten-l-yl)phenol (10 g) in tetrahydrofuran (120 ml) in an inert gas environment, and the mixture is maintained under stirring at room temperature for 1 h. 2-Iodoethanol (11 ml) is added dropwise, and the reaction mixture is refluxed for about 9 h. Water is added, and the mixture is concentrated and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase is washed with sodium carbonate aqueous solution and then with water, and then concentrated under vacuum. After crystallisation of the residue from methanol-water (about 5: 1), 9.9 g of crude ospemifene is obtained.

Example 2

A solution of sodium methylate in methanol (6.25 ml) is added to a solution of 4-(4-chloro-l,2-diphenyl-buten-l-yl)phenol (10 g) in methanol (100 ml) in an inert gas environment, and maintained under stirring at room temperature for 1 h. The mixture is concentrated under vacuum and taken up with tetrahydrofuran (100 ml). A solution of 2-iodoethanol (3.5 ml) in tetrahydrofuran (30 ml) is added dropwise, and the reaction mixture is refluxed for about 3 h. Water is added, and the mixture is concentrated and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase is washed with a saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate aqueous solution, and finally with water. The resulting solution is then concentrated under vacuum and crystallised from methanol-water to obtain 5.8 g of crude ospemifene.

Example 3

Potassium tert-butylate (2.0 g) is added to a solution of 4-(4-chloro-l,2-diphenyl-buten-l-yl)phenol (5 g) in tert-butanol (75 ml) in an inert gas environment, and maintained under stirring at room temperature for 1 h. The solvents are concentrated under vacuum, and the concentrate is taken up with tetrahydrofuran (50 ml). A solution of 2-iodoethanol (1.7 ml) in tetrahydrofuran (15 ml) is added in about 30 minutes, and the reaction mixture is then refluxed for about 2 h. The process then continues as described in Example 1, and 2.9 g of crude ospemifene is obtained.

Example 4

A 50% potassium hydroxide aqueous solution (4.4 ml) is added to a solution of 4-(4-chloro-l,2-diphenyl-buten-l-yl)phenol (2 g) in toluene (20 ml) in an inert gas environment, and maintained under stirring at room temperature for 15

minutes. 2-Iodoethanol (2.2 ml) is added in about 30 minutes, and the reaction mixture is refluxed and maintained at that temperature for about 7 h. After the addition of water, the phases are separated. The organic phase is washed with a saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate aqueous solution, and finally with water. The organic phase is then concentrated under vacuum. After crystallisation of the residue from methanol-water (about 5:1), 0.85 g of crude ospemifene is obtained.

EXAMPLE 1Preparation of Besifloxacin Free Base Solid

Besifloxacin free base was prepared from besifloxacin hydrochloride addition salt.

An amount of about 5 g of besifloxacin HCl (HCl addition salt of besifloxacin made, for example, by the method of U.S. Pat. No. 5,447,926; which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety) was added to about 750 ml of water. The besifloxacin HCl was allowed to dissolve in said water. Twenty milliliters of 1N NaOH solution were added slowly to the besifloxacin aqueous solution while stirring (final pH 10.2). Besifloxacin free base started to precipitate. Eight milliliters of 1N HCl solution were added slowly while stirring (final pH of 9.7). The resulting mixture was allowed to mix for 2 hours while besifloxacin free base continued to precipitate. At the end of 2 hours, the precipitated besifloxacin free base was filtered through a Millipore type RA 1.2 μm filter. The besifloxacin free base thus collected was dried in a vacuum oven at room temperature. 4.35 g of besifloxacin free base was recovered.

CLIPS

Besifloxacin hydrochloride (Besivance) Besifloxacin is a fourth-generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic which is marketed as besifloxacin hydrochloride. It was originally developed by the Japanese firm SSP Co. Ltd and designated SS734. SSP then licensed U.S. and European rights of SS734 for ophthalmic use to InSite Vision, Inc., in 2000, who then developed an eye drop formulation (ISV-403) and conducted preliminary clinical trials before selling the product and all rights to Bausch & Lomb in 2003.

The eye drop was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on May 29, 2009 and marketed under the trade name Besivance.24a

Besifloxacin has been found to inhibit production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in vitro. The synthesis of besifloxacin commences with commercially available ethyl 3-(3-chloro-2,4,5-trifluorophenyl)-3-oxopropanoate (13, Scheme3).24b

Condensation of this ketoester with triethyl orthoformate resulted in a mixture of vinylogous esters 14. Substitution with cyclopropanamine converts 14 to the vinylogous amide 15 as an unreported distribution of cis- and trans-isomers. This mixture was treated with base at elevated temperature to give 16.

Presumably, the trans-isomer isomerizes to the cis-isomer, which subsequently undergoes an intramolecular nucleophilic aromatic substitution with concomitant saponification to construct quinolone acid 16.

Quinolone 16 is then subjected to another nucleophilic substitution involving readily available iminoazepine 17 and the displacement reaction proceeds regioselectively to furnish the atomic framework of besifloxacin (18).

Acidic methanolysis of 18 at elevated temperature gave besiflozacin (III).

    Abstract
    Besifloxacin hydrochloride is a novel chiral broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone developed for the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis. R-besifloxacin hydrochloride is used in clinics as a consequence of its higher antibacterial activity. To establish an enantiomeric impurity determination method, some chiral stationary phases (CSPs) were screened. Besifloxacin enantiomers can be separated to a certain extent on Chiral CD-Ph (Shiseido Co., Ltd., Japan), Chiral AGP, and Crownpak CR (+) (Daicel Chemical IND., Ltd., Japan). However, the selectivity and sensitivity were both unsatisfactory on these three CSPs. Therefore, Chiral AGP, Chiral CD-Ph, and Crownpak CR (+) were not used in the enantiomeric impurity determination of besifloxacin hydrochloride. The separation of enantiomers of besifloxacin was further performed using a precolumn derivatization chiral high-performance liquid chromatography method. 2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl isothiocyanate was used as the derivatization reagent. Besifloxacin enantiomer derivates were well separated on a C(18) column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) with a mobile phase that consisted of methanol-KH(2)PO(4) buffer solution (20 mM; pH 3.0) (50:50, v/v). Selectivity, sensitivity, linearity, accuracy, precision, stability, and robustness of this method were all satisfied with the method validation requirement. The method was suitable for the quality control of enantiomeric impurity in besifloxacin hydrochloride.

    Abstract
    Besifloxacin hydrochloride ophthalmic suspension 0.6% (Besivance) is a recently approved fluoroquinolone for the topical treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis. The drug is rapidly bactericidal against common bacterial pathogens causing conjunctivitis, i.e., coagulase-negative Staphylococcus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Haemophilus influenzae as well as against other less common organisms. In addition to being a potent agent against Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens including those resistant to other fluoroquinolones, besifloxacin has balanced DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV activity, which should slow the development of resistance. Topical administration achieves high sustained concentrations in human tears and good ocular tissue penetration in animals while demonstrating an excellent safety profile. Besifloxacin’s pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics meet the criteria for successful eradication of many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria while demonstrating minimal systemic exposure. The biochemical properties, achievement of target pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic goals and the restriction of besifloxacin to topical ophthalmic use should result in slower development of bacterial resistance, making besifloxacin a new, appealing option for empiric therapy in acute bacterial conjunctivitis.

    Abstract
    PURPOSE: The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the ocular pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) relationship for besifloxacin, moxifloxacin, and gatifloxacin using rabbit ocular PK data, along with in vitro minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC90) values against methicillin- and ciprofloxacin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA-CR) and Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE-CR).METHODS: Rabbits received a topical instillation of Besivance? (besifloxacin ophthalmic suspension, 0.6%), Vigamox (moxifloxacin hydrochloride ophthalmic solution, 0.5% as base), or Zymar (gatifloxacin ophthalmic solution, 0.3%), and ocular tissues and plasma were collected from 4 animals/treatment/collection time at 8 predetermined time intervals during the 24h after dosing. Ocular levels of each agent were measured by LC/MS/MS, and PK parameters (Cmax, Tmax, and AUC????) were determined. AUC????/MIC?? ratios were calculated for tears, conjunctiva, cornea, and aqueous humor using previously reported MIC??values for MRSA-CR and MRSE-CR.RESULTS: All of the fluoroquinolones tested demonstrated rapid penetration into ocular tissues after a single instillation. Besifloxacin demonstrated the highest exposure in tear fluid, while exposure in conjunctiva was comparable for all 3 compounds. Peak concentrations of all fluoroquinolones in aqueous humor were at or below ~1g/mL. In comparison with their MIC??values against MRSE-CR and MRSA-CR, besifloxacin achieved an AUC????/MIC?? ratio of ~800 in tears, compared with values of ≤10 for moxifloxacin and gatifloxacin. In cornea, conjunctiva, and aqueous humor, the AUC????/MIC?? ratios were <10 for all compounds. However, in these tissues AUC????/MIC?? ratios for besifloxacin were 1.5- to 38-fold higher than moxifloxacin and gatifloxacin….

    Abstract
    BACKGROUND: Acute conjunctivitis is the most frequent eye disorder seen by primary care physicians and one that often affects children. Besifloxacin is a new topical fluoroquinolone, the first chlorofluoroquinolone, for the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis.OBJECTIVE: To examine the efficacy and safety of besifloxacin ophthalmic suspension 0.6% in patients aged 1-17 years with bacterial conjunctivitis.METHODS: This was a post hoc analysis of a subgroup of pediatric patients aged 1-17 years who had participated in three previously reported, randomized, double-masked, parallel-group, multicenter, clinical trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of besifloxacin in the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis. The studies were conducted in a community setting (clinical centers). All three clinical trials included children (aged > or = 1 year) with a clinical diagnosis of bacterial conjunctivitis in at least one eye, based on the presence at baseline of grade 1 or greater purulent conjunctival discharge and conjunctival injection, and pin-hole visual acuity of at least 20/200 in both eyes for verbal patients. Two trials were vehicle controlled; the third trial was comparator controlled (moxifloxacin hydrochloride ophthalmic solution 0.5% as base). In all studies, besifloxacin ophthalmic suspension 0.6% was administered as one drop in the affected eye(s) three times daily, at approximately 6-hourly intervals, for 5 days. The main outcome measures were clinical resolution and microbial eradication at visit 2 (day 4 +/- 1 in one study; day 5 +/- 1 in the other two studies) and visit 3 (day 8 or 9). Data from the two vehicle-controlled studies were combined for the assessments to provide greater statistical power.RESULTS: This analysis included 815 pediatric patients aged 1-17 years (447 with culture-confirmed bacterial conjunctivitis). Clinical resolution was significantly greater (p < 0.05) in the besifloxacin group than in the vehicle group at both visit 2 (53.7% vs 41.3%) and visit 3 (88.1% vs 73.0%). Similarly, microbial eradication was significantly higher with besifloxacin than with vehicle at visit 2 (85.8% vs 56.3%) and visit 3 (82.8% vs 68.3%). No significant differences in clinical resolution and microbial eradication were noted between besifloxacin and moxifloxacin. Besifloxacin was well tolerated, with similar incidences of adverse events in the besifloxacin, vehicle, and moxifloxacin groups.CONCLUSION: Besifloxacin ophthalmic suspension 0.6% was shown to be safe and effective for the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis in children and adolescents aged 1-17 years.

FDA approves first MRI-guided focused ultrasound device to treat essential tremor

Release

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved the first focused ultrasound device to treat essential tremor in patients who have not responded to medication. ExAblate Neuro uses magnetic resonance (MR) images taken during the procedure to deliver focused ultrasound to destroy brain tissue in a tiny area thought to be responsible for causing tremors.

“Patients with essential tremor who have not seen improvement with medication now have a new treatment option that could help them to avoid more invasive surgical treatments,” said Carlos Peña, Ph.D., M.S., director of the division of neurological and physical medicine devices in the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health. “As with other treatments for essential tremor, this new device is not a cure but could help patients enjoy a better quality of life.”

Essential tremor, also called benign essential tremor, is the most common form of tremor. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, several million Americans, usually those over age 40, are affected by the condition. Essential tremor may be treated with beta blockers or anticonvulsant drugs. If medications fail to control symptoms, the condition may also be treated with surgery (thalamotomy) or a deep brain stimulation device to destroy the tiny part of the brain (thalamus) that controls some involuntary movements.

To determine if the ExAblate Neuro treatment is appropriate, patients should first have MR and computerized tomography (CT) scans. Those undergoing treatment with the MRI-guided device lie in an MRI scanner that takes images to help a doctor identify the targeted area in the brain’s thalamus for treatment. Treatment with transcranial focused ultrasound energy is administered with incremental increases in energy until patients achieve a reduction of tremor. Patients are awake and responsive during the entire treatment.

Data supporting the safety and effectiveness of the device system included a double-blind control trial involving 76 patients with essential tremor who had not responded to medication therapy. Fifty-six of the patients were randomly selected to receive the ExAblate Neuro treatment and 20 received a fake treatment. Patients in the control group were able to cross over into the treatment group three months later.

Patients treated with the ExAblate Neuro showed nearly a 50 percent improvement in their tremors and motor function (composite tremor/motor function score) three months after treatment compared to their baseline score. Patients in the control group had no improvement, and some experienced a slight worsening after the sham procedure before they crossed over into the treatment group. At 12 months post-procedure, the treatment group retained a 40 percent improvement in these scores compared to baseline.

Adverse events for the ExAblate Neuro are consistent with those reported for thalamotomy surgery, including numbness/tingling of the fingers, headache, imbalance/unsteadiness, loss of control of body movements (ataxia) or gait disturbance. Other side effects identified as possibly related to treatment with MR-guided focused ultrasound treatments include tissue damage in an area other than the treatment area, hemorrhage in the treated area requiring emergency treatment, skin burns with ulceration of the skin, skin retraction and scar formation and blood clots.

The ExAblate Neuro treatment is contraindicated for patients who cannot have MR imaging, including those who have a non-MRI compatible implanted metallic device, such as a cardiac pacemaker, those with allergies to MR contrast agents or those with body size limitations for MR.

The treatment should also not be used in women who are pregnant, patients with advanced kidney disease or on dialysis, those with unstable heart conditions or severe hypertension, patients exhibiting any behavior consistent with ethanol or substance abuse or patients with a history of abnormal bleeding, hemorrhage and/or blood clotting disorders (coagulopathy). Patients currently taking anticoagulant drugs or drugs known to increase the risk of hemorrhage, patients with a history of cerebrovascular disease (strokes) or brain tumors and patients who are not able to tolerate the prolonged stationary position during treatment also should not have the procedure.

ExAblate Neuro is manufactured by InSightec in Dallas, Texas.
