Multiple dose study of PF-04937319 in patients with type 2 diabetes (NCT01272804)

SYNTHESIS

Glucokinase is a key regulator of glucose homeostasis and small molecule activators of this enzyme represent a promising opportunity for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes. Several glucokinase activators have advanced to clinical studies and demonstrated promising efficacy; however, many of these early candidates also revealed hypoglycemia as a key risk. In an effort to mitigate this hypoglycemia risk while maintaining the promising efficacy of this mechanism, we have investigated a series of substituted 2-methylbenzofurans as “partial activators” of the glucokinase enzyme leading to the identification of N,N-dimethyl-5-(2-methyl-6-((5-methylpyrazin-2-yl)-carbamoyl)benzofuran-4-yloxy)pyrimidine-2-carboxamide as an early development candidate.
Diabetes is a major public health concern because of its increasing prevalence and associated health risks. The disease is characterized by metabolic defects in the production and utilization of carbohydrates which result in the failure to maintain appropriate blood glucose levels. Two major forms of diabetes are recognized. Type I diabetes, or insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), is the result of an absolute deficiency of insulin. Type Il diabetes, or non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), often occurs with normal, or even elevated levels of insulin and appears to be the result of the inability of tissues and cells to respond appropriately to insulin. Aggressive control of NIDDM with medication is essential; otherwise it can progress into IDDM. As blood glucose increases, it is transported into pancreatic beta cells via a glucose transporter. Intracellular mammalian glucokinase (GK) senses the rise in glucose and activates cellular glycolysis, i.e. the conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate, and subsequent insulin release. Glucokinase is found principally in pancreatic β-cells and liver parenchymal cells. Because transfer of glucose from the blood into muscle and fatty tissue is insulin dependent, diabetics lack the ability to utilize glucose adequately which leads to undesired accumulation of blood glucose (hyperglycemia). Chronic hyperglycemia leads to decreases in insulin secretion and contributes to increased insulin resistance. Glucokinase also acts as a sensor in hepatic parenchymal cells which induces glycogen synthesis, thus preventing the release of glucose into the blood. The GK processes are thus critical for the maintenance of whole body glucose homeostasis.
It is expected that an agent that activates cellular GK will facilitate glucose-dependent secretion from pancreatic beta cells, correct postprandial hyperglycemia, increase hepatic glucose utilization and potentially inhibit hepatic glucose release. Consequently, a GK activator may provide therapeutic treatment for NIDDM and associated complications, inter alia, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance syndrome, hyperinsulinemia, hypertension, and obesity. Several drugs in five major categories, each acting by different mechanisms, are available for treating hyperglycemia and subsequently, NIDDM (Moller, D. E., “New drug targets for Type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome” Nature 414; 821 -827, (2001 )): (A) Insulin secretogogues, including sulphonyl-ureas (e.g., glipizide, glimepiride, glyburide) and meglitinides (e.g., nateglidine and repaglinide) enhance secretion of insulin by acting on the pancreatic beta-cells. While this therapy can decrease blood glucose level, it has limited efficacy and tolerability, causes weight gain and often induces hypoglycemia. (B) Biguanides (e.g., metformin) are thought to act primarily by decreasing hepatic glucose production. Biguanides often cause gastrointestinal disturbances and lactic acidosis, further limiting their use. (C) Inhibitors of alpha-glucosidase (e.g., acarbose) decrease intestinal glucose absorption. These agents often cause gastrointestinal disturbances. (D) Thiazolidinediones (e.g., pioglitazone, rosiglitazone) act on a specific receptor (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma) in the liver, muscle and fat tissues. They regulate lipid metabolism subsequently enhancing the response of these tissues to the actions of insulin. Frequent use of these drugs may lead to weight gain and may induce edema and anemia. (E) Insulin is used in more severe cases, either alone or in combination with the above agents. Ideally, an effective new treatment for NIDDM would meet the following criteria: (a) it would not have significant side effects including induction of hypoglycemia; (b) it would not cause weight gain; (c) it would at least partially replace insulin by acting via mechanism(s) that are independent from the actions of insulin; (d) it would desirably be metabolically stable to allow less frequent usage; and (e) it would be usable in combination with tolerable amounts of any of the categories of drugs listed herein.
Substituted heteroaryls, particularly pyridones, have been implicated in mediating GK and may play a significant role in the treatment of NIDDM. For example, U.S. Patent publication No. 2006/0058353 and PCT publication No’s. WO2007/043638, WO2007/043638, and WO2007/117995 recite certain heterocyclic derivatives with utility for the treatment of diabetes. Although investigations are on-going, there still exists a need for a more effective and safe therapeutic treatment for diabetes, particularly NIDDM.
Designing glucokinase activators with reduced hypoglycemia risk: discovery of N,N-dimethyl-5-(2-methyl-6-((5-methylpyrazin-2-yl)-carbamoyl)benzofuran-4-yloxy)pyrimidine-2-carboxamide as a clinical candidate for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus

N,N-Dimethyl-5-(2-methyl-6-((5-methylpyrazin-2-yl)carbamoyl)-benzofuran-4- yloxy)pyrimidine-2-carboxamide (28). To a solution of the 5-methyl-2-aminopyrazine (38.9 g, 356 mmol) in dimethoxyethane (315 mL) in a 3-neck flask equipped with overhead stirring and a condenser at 0 o C was added Me2AlCl (1 M solution in hexanes) (715 mL). The mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 1.5 h. In a separate flask, 26 (52.6 g, 142.5 mmol) was dissolved in dimethoxyethane (210 mL). This mixture was then added to the amine mixture. A gum precipitated and upon scratching the flask it dissipated into a solid. The reaction was refluxed for 3.5 h. Aq. Rochelle’s salt (5 L) and 2-MeTHF (2 L) was added to the mixture and this was allowed to stir with overhead stirring for 14 h, after which time, a yellow solid precipitated. The solid was collected by filtration, washing with 2-MeTHF. The resulting solid was dried in a vacuum oven overnight to afford the desired material (50.0g) in 81% yield.

(Ma) To a vigorously stirred solution of 5-methyl-2-furaldehyde (264 ml_, 2650 mmol) and diethyl succinate (840 ml_, 5050 mmol) in ethanol (1.820 L) at room temperature was added sodium ethoxide (0.93 L of a 21 weight % solution in ethanol) in one portion. The reaction mixture was then heated at reflux for 13 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was concentrated in vacuo (all batches were combined at this point). The resulting residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate (1 L) and hydrochloric acid (1 L of a 2M aqueous solution). After separation, the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (2 x 1 L). The combined organic extracts were then extracted with sodium hydrogen carbonate (2 x 1 L of a saturated aqueous solution). These aqueous extracts were combined and adjusted to pH 2 with hydrochloric acid (2M aqueous solution) then extracted with ethyl acetate (2 x 1 L). These organic extracts were combined and concentrated in vacuo to give desired (E)-3-(ethoxycarbonyl)-4-(5-methylfuran-2-yl)but-3-enoic acid (J1 Ia: 34.34 g, 5%). The original organic extract was extracted with sodium hydroxide (2 L of a 2M aqueous solution). This aqueous extract was adjusted to pH 2 with hydrochloric acid (2M aqueous solution) then extracted with ethyl acetate (2 x 1 L).

The reaction mixture was then heated at 600C for 3 hours. Potassium carbonate (100 g, 0.720 mol) was then added in one portion and the reaction mixture was heated at 600C for a further 3 hours. After cooling to room temperature the mixture was diluted with dichloromethane (2 L) and the suspension filtered, washing the solids with dichloromethane (2 x 1 L) (all batches were combined at this point). The combined filtrate and washings were then washed with citric acid (2.5 L of a 1 M aqueous solution), then concentrated in vacuo and the resulting residue purified by dry flash chromatography (hexane then 2:1 hexane:ethyl acetate). All fractions containing the desired product were combined and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue, which solidified on standing, was slurried with cold toluene and filtered. The solids were then stirred with hot toluene and decolourising charcoal for 1 hour, followed by filtration of the hot mixture through a pad of celite. The filtrate was allowed to cool and the resulting precipitate isolated by filtration to give desired ethyl 4-hydroxy-2- methylbenzofuran-6-carboxylate (1-1 c: 360 g, 90%) as orange powder.

In a separate flask, ethyl 4-(2-(dimethylcarbamoyl)pyrimidin-5-yloxy)-2- methylbenzofuran-6-carboxylate (l-2a: 52.6g, 142.5mmol) was dissolved in dimethylether (210 ml_). This mixture was then added to the complexed amine. A gum precipitated upon scratching the flask and dissipated into a solid. The resultant reaction was refluxed for 3.5 hours HPLC indicated 93% complete. Five liters of Rochelles salt made up in water and 2 liters of 2- methyltetrahydrofuran was added to the mixture. The reaction mixture was then poured into the biphasic system. The mixture was allowed to stir with overhead stirring for 14 hours, after which time, a yellow solid precipitated. The solid was collected through filteration. The solid retained was washed with 2-methyltetrahydrofuran. The resultant solid was dried in vacuo oven overnight to afford the title compound N,N-dimethyl-5-(2-methyl-6-((5- methylpyrazin-2-yl)carbamoyl)benzofuran-4-yloxy)pyhmidine-2-carboxamide (2): (49.98g, 81 %)

Nerandomilast (BI 1015550) is an investigational oral medication being studied for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF). It is a preferential inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B) and has shown potential in slowing lung function decline in patients with IPF.
Key points about nerandomilast:
- Mechanism of Action:Nerandomilast inhibits PDE4B, an enzyme that plays a role in inflammation and fibrosis.
- Clinical Trials:Phase 3 clinical trials have shown that nerandomilast can slow lung function decline in patients with IPF and PPF.
- Efficacy:The trials demonstrated that nerandomilast led to a smaller decline in forced vital capacity (FVC), a measure of lung function, compared to placebo.
- Safety:Diarrhea was the most frequent adverse event, but serious adverse events were balanced across treatment groups.
- Progressive Fibrosing ILDs:Nerandomilast is also being investigated in other progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) beyond IPF.
- FDA Designation:Nerandomilast received Breakthrough Therapy Designation from the FDA for the treatment of IPF.
- Not a Cure:While nerandomilast can slow disease progression, it does not cure pulmonary fibrosis.
- Not Yet Approved:Nerandomilast is still an investigational drug and is not yet approved for use.
Nerandomilast (BI 1015550) is an orally active inhibitor of PDE4B with an IC50 value of 7.2 nM. Nerandomilast has good safety and potential applications in inflammation, allergic diseases, pulmonary fibrosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

A robust and scalable synthesis process for Nerandomilast (1, BI 1015550), a selective PDE4B inhibitor with potential therapeutic properties for the treatment of respiratory diseases, was developed and implemented at a pilot plant on a multikilogram scale. Key aspects of the process include the efficient synthesis of intermediate (1-((2-chloro-6,7-dihydrothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)amino)cyclobutyl)methanol (4) by means of a regioselective SNAr reaction between (1-aminocyclobutyl)methanol (6) and 2,4-dichloro-6,7-dihydrothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine (5), a new convergent synthesis of 5-chloro-2-(piperidin-4-yl)pyrimidine (3) by means of a Suzuki coupling, and a highly enantioselective sulfide oxidation to give chiral nonracemic (R)-2-chloro-4-((1-(hydroxymethyl)cyclobutyl)amino)-6,7-dihydrothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine 5-oxide (2).

Nedometinib (NFX-179) is a specific MEK1 inhibitor with an IC50 of 135 nM. Nedometinib inhibits p-ERK, MAPK. Nedometinib exerts anticancer activity against squamous cell carcinoma. Nedometinib can be used for research in dermatosis, neurofibromatosis.
Nedometinib is a topical gel formulation composed of an inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAP2K; MAPKK; MEK), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon topical administration, nedometinib penetrates into the dermis of the skin where it specifically targets, binds to and inhibits the catalytic activity of MEK, thereby inhibiting the activation of MEK-dependent effector proteins including extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and inhibits the proliferation of tumor cells in which the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK signaling pathway is overactivated. The threonine/tyrosine protein kinase MEK plays a key role in the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK signaling pathway, which is frequently upregulated in a variety of tumor cell types and regulates key cellular activities including cell growth, proliferation, survival, differentiation and apoptosis. Rapid degradation of NFX-179 upon reaching the systemic circulation minimizes side effects caused by systemic exposure.

SYN

Modoflaner is another isophthalamide insecticide developed by Mitsui Chemicals Agriculture Co., Ltd. in Japan. Its structure is similar to broflanilide and cyproflanilide created in China, except that it introduces iodine and fluoropyridine structures. It is speculated that the mechanism of action of modoflaner is mainly through allosteric regulation of
γ -aminobutyric acid-gated chloride ion channels, which is similar to isoxazoline insecticides and acaricides such as mivolana and eumivolana. Indoor bioassay studies have shown that modoflaner has a killing rate of more than 70% (6 days) against Spodoptera litura, Plutella xylostella and Laodelphax
striatum at a concentration of 100 mg/L. It has a killing rate of 95% (48 hours) against adult
Ctenocephalides felis at a dose of 0.04 μg/
cm2 or 0.0064 mg/ L . It has a killing rate of 90% (48 hours)
against nymphs of American flower ticks, adults of
Ixodes ricinus and adults of
R. sanguineus at a dose of 0.2 μg/cm2. It can prevent female adults of R. sanguineus from laying eggs or hatching eggs after 7 days of in vitro injection at a dose of 0.032 μg/tick. The creation idea and synthetic route of Modoflaner are shown in Figure 2. The synthetic order of iodination and amidation deserves further study.

- Levosalbutamol tartrate(levalbuterol) is the R-enantiomer of the short-acting β2-adrenergic receptor agonist salbutamol.
Levalbuterol Tartrate is the tartrate salt form of levalbuterol, the R-enantiomer of the short-acting beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist albuterol, with bronchodilator activity. Levalbuterol selectively binds to beta-2 adrenergic receptors in bronchial smooth muscle, thereby activating intracellular adenyl cyclase, an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic-3′,5′-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Increased cAMP levels cause relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle, relieve bronchospasms, improve mucociliary clearance and inhibit the release of mediators of immediate hypersensitivity from cells, especially from mast cells.
British patent document GB1298494A firstly discloses synthesis of levosalbutamol, which comprises the steps of carrying out crystallization resolution by using D- (+) -dibenzoyl tartaric acid, carrying out ester reduction reaction, and removing two benzyl protecting groups to obtain levosalbutamol, wherein the process route is as follows:

chinese patent CN1705634A, and using rhodium and chiral bidentate phosphine ligand combination, levosalbutamol can be obtained with good yield and good optical purity on a technical scale. The disadvantages are that the toxicity of the reagent is high, the hydrogenation risk is high, and the process route is as follows:
