Using the collective body of known (CETP) inhibitors as inspiration for design, a structurally novel series of tetrahydroquinoxaline CETP inhibitors were discovered. An exemplar from this series, compound 5, displayed potent in vitro CETP inhibition and was efficacious in a transgenic cynomologus-CETP mouse HDL PD (pharmacodynamic) assay. However, an undesirable metabolic profile and chemical instability hampered further development of the series. A three-dimensional structure of tetrahydroquinoxaline inhibitor 6 was proposed from 1H NMR structural studies, and this model was then used in silico for the design of a new class of compounds based upon an indoline scaffold. This work resulted in the discovery of compound 7, which displayed potent in vitro CETP inhibition, a favorable PK–PD profile relative to tetrahydroquinoxaline 5, and dose-dependent efficacy in the transgenic cynomologus-CETP mouse HDL PD assay.
chemical compounds that inhibit cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP) and are expected to have utility in raising HDL-C, lowering LDL-C, and in the treatment and prevention of atherosclerosis.

Atherosclerosis and its clinical consequences, including coronary heart disease
(CHD), stroke and peripheral vascular disease, represent a truly enormous burden to the health care systems of the industrialized world. In the United States alone, approximately 13 million patients have been diagnosed with CHD, and greater than one half million deaths are attributed to CHD each year. Further, this toll is expected to grow over the next quarter century as an epidemic in obesity and diabetes continues to grow.
It has long been recognized that in mammals, variations in circulating lipoprotein profiles correlate with the risk of atherosclerosis and CHD. The clinical success of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, especially the statins, in reducing coronary events is based on the reduction of circulating low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), levels of which correlate directly with an increased risk for atherosclerosis. More recently, epidemiologic studies have
demonstrated an inverse relationship between high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels and atherosclerosis, leading to the conclusion that low serum HDL-C levels are associated with an increased risk for CHD.
Metabolic control of lipoprotein levels is a complex and dynamic process involving many factors. One important metabolic control in man is the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), a plasma glycoprotein that catalyzes the movement of cholesteryl esters from HDL to the apoB containing lipoproteins, especially VLDL (see Hesler, C.B., et. al. (1987) Purification and characterization of human plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein. J. Biol. Chem. 262(5), 2275-2282)). Under physiological conditions, the net reaction is a heteroexchange in which CETP carries triglyceride to HDL from the apoB lipoprotein and transports cholesterol ester from HDL to the apoB lipoprotein.
In humans, CETP plays a role in reverse cholesterol transport, the process whereby cholesterol is returned to the liver from peripheral tissues. Intriguingly, many animals do not possess CETP, including animals that have high HDL levels and are known to be resistant to coronary heart disease, such as rodents (see Guyard-Dangremont, V., et. al, (1998)
Phospholipid and cholesteryl ester transfer activities in plasma from 14 vertebrate species. Relation to atherogenesis susceptibility, Comp. Biochem. Physiol. B Biochem. Mol. Biol. 120(3), 517-525). Numerous epidemiologic studies correlating the effects of natural variation in CETP activity with respect to coronary heart disease risk have been performed, including studies on a small number of known human null mutations (see Hirano, K.-L, Yamashita, S. and Matsuzawa, Y. (2000) Pros and cons of inhibiting cholesteryl ester transfer protein, Curr. Opin. Lipidol. 11(6), 589-596). These studies have clearly demonstrated an inverse correlation between plasma HDL-C concentration and CETP activity (see Inazu, A., et. al. (2000) Cholesteryl ester transfer protein and atherosclerosis, Curr. Opin. Lipidol. 11(4), 389-396), leading to the hypothesis that pharmacologic inhibition of CETP lipid transfer activity may be beneficial to humans by increasing levels of HDL-C while lowering LDL-C.
Despite the significant therapeutic advance that statins such as simvastatin and atorvastatin represent, statins only achieve a risk reduction of approximately one-third in the treatment and prevention of atherosclerosis and ensuing atherosclerotic disease events.
Currently, few pharmacologic therapies are available that favorably raise circulating levels of HDL-C. Certain statins and some fibrates offer modest HDL-C gains. Niacin provides an effective therapy for raising HDL-C but suffers from patient compliance issues, due in part to side effects such as flushing. Drugs that inhibit CETP (CETP inhibitors) have been under development with the expectation that they will effectively raise HDL cholesterol levels and also reduce the incidence of atherosclerosis in patients. Torcetrapib was the first drug that was tested in a long-term outcomes clinical trial. The clinical trial of torcetrapib was terminated early due to a higher incidence of mortality in patients to whom torcetrapib and atorvastatin were administered concomitantly compared with patients who were treated with atorvastatin alone. The cause of the increased mortality is not completely understood, but it is not believed to be associated with the CETP inhibiting effects of the drug.
Two other drug candidates, dalcetrapib and anacetrapib, are currently being tested in Phase III clinical trials, including large scale outcomes trials. Data from the recently completed DEFINE Phase III trial of anacetrapib are promising. Patients who were being treated with anacetrapib along with baseline statin therapy showed an increase of HDL-C of 138% and a decrease of LDL-C of 40%> compared with patients who were treated with just a statin. See: N. Engl. J. Med. 2010: 363: 2406-15. The data in the DEFINE trial were sufficient to indicate that an increase in mortality for patients treated with anacetrapib is unlikely. Additional drug candidates are still being sought that may have properties that are advantageous compared with the CETP inhibitors that have so far been studied or are currently being studied. Such properties may include, for example, higher potency, reduced off-target activity, better pharmacodynamics, higher bioavailability, or a reduced food effect compared with many of the highly lipophilic compounds that have so far been studied. “Food effect” refers to the variability in exposure to the active drug that occurs depending on when the patient had last eaten, whether or not the drug is administered with food, and the fat content of the food.

Flow Chemistry: Recent Developments in the Synthesis of Pharmaceutical Products

Recently, application of the flow technologies for the preparation of fine chemicals, such as natural products or Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), has become very popular, especially in academia. Although pharma industry still relies on multipurpose batch or semibatch reactors, it is evident that interest is arising toward continuous flow manufacturing of organic molecules, including highly functionalized and chiral compounds. Continuous flow synthetic methodologies can also be easily combined to other enabling technologies, such as microwave irradiation, supported reagents or catalysts, photochemistry, inductive heating, electrochemistry, new solvent systems, 3D printing, or microreactor technology. This combination could allow the development of fully automated process with an increased efficiency and, in many cases, improved sustainability. It has been also demonstrated that a safer manufacturing of organic intermediates and APIs could be obtained under continuous flow conditions, where some synthetic steps that were not permitted for safety reasons can be performed with minimum risk. In this review we focused our attention only on very recent advances in the continuous flow multistep synthesis of organic molecules which found application as APIs, especially highlighting the contributions described in the literature from 2013 to 2015, including very recent examples not reported in any published review. Without claiming to be complete, we will give a general overview of different approaches, technologies, and synthetic strategies used so far, thus hoping to contribute to minimize the gap between academic research and pharmaceutical manufacturing. A general outlook about a quite young and relatively unexplored field of research, like stereoselective organocatalysis under flow conditions, will be also presented, and most significant examples will be described; our purpose is to illustrate all of the potentialities of continuous flow organocatalysis and offer a starting point to develop new methodologies for the synthesis of chiral drugs. Finally, some considerations on the perspectives and the possible, expected developments in the field are briefly discussed.
Two examples out of several in the publication discussed below……………
1 Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride

Scheme 1. Continuous Flow Synthesis of Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride
Diphenhydramine hydrochloride is the active pharmaceutical ingredient in several widely used medications (e.g., Benadryl, Zzzquil, Tylenol PM, Unisom), and its worldwide demand is higher than 100 tons/year.
In 2013, Jamison and co-workers developed a continuous flow process for the synthesis of 3minimizing waste and reducing purification steps and production time with respect to existing batch synthetic routes (Scheme 1). In the optimized process, chlorodiphenylmethane 1 and dimethylethanolamine 2 were mixed neat and pumped into a 720 μL PFA tube reactor (i.d. = 0.5 mm) at 175 °C with a residence time of 16 min. Running the reaction above the boiling point of 2and without any solvent resulted in high reaction rate. Product 3, obtained in the form of molten salt (i.e., above the melting point of the salt), could be easily transported in the flow system, a procedure not feasible on the same scale under batch conditions.
The reactor outcome was then combined with preheated NaOH 3 M to neutralize ammonium salts. After quenching, neutralized tertiary amine was extracted with hexanes into an inline membrane separator. The organic layer was then treated with HCl (5 M solution in iPrOH) in order to precipitate diphenhydramine hydrochloride 3 with an overall yield of 90% and an output of 2.4 g/h.
2 Olanzapine

Scheme 2. Continuous Flow Synthesis of Olanzapine
Atypical antipsychotic drugs differ from classical antipsychotics because of less side effects caused (e.g., involuntary tremors, body rigidity, and extrapyramidal effects). Among atypical ones, olanzapine 10, marketed with the name of Zyprexa, is used for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorders.
In 2013 Kirschning and co-workers developed the multistep continuous flow synthesis of olanzapine 10 using inductive heating (IH) as enabling technology to dramatically reduce reaction times and to increase process efficiency.(16) Inductive heating is a nonconventional heating technology based on the induction of an electromagnetic field (at medium or high frequency depending on nanoparticle sizes) to magnetic nanoparticles which result in a very rapid increase of temperature.As depicted in Scheme 2 the first synthetic step consisted of coupling aryl iodide 4 and aminothiazole 5 using Pd2dba3 as catalyst and Xantphos as ligand. Buchwald–Hartwig coupling took place inside a PEEK reactor filled with steel beads (0.8 mm) and heated inductively at 50 °C (15 kHz). AcOEt was chosen as solvent since it was compatible with following reaction steps. After quenching with distilled H2O and upon in-line extraction in a glass column, crude mixture was passed through a silica cartridge in order to remove Pd catalyst. Nitroaromatic compound 6 was then subjected to reduction with Et3SiH into a fixed bed reactor containing Pd/C at 40 °C. Aniline 7 was obtained in nearly quantitative yield, and the catalyst could be used for more than 250 h without loss of activity. The reactor outcome was then mixed with HCl (0.6 M methanol solution) and heated under high frequency (800 kHz) at 140 °C. Acid catalyzed cyclization afforded product 8 with an overall yield of 88%. Remarkably, the three step sequence did not require any solvent switch, and the total reactor volume is about 8 mL only.
The final substitution of compound 8 with piperazine 9 was carried out using a 3 mL of PEEK reactor containing MAGSILICA as inductive material and silica-supported Ti(OiPr)4 as Lewis acid. Heating inductively the reactor at 85 °C with a medium frequency (25 kHz) gave Olanzapine 10 in 83% yield.

A2BAdenosine Receptor (A2BAdoR) Antagonist PNQ-103 for COPD and SCD
COPD
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a disease that damages lung tissue or restricts airflow through the bronchioles and bronchi, and commonly leads to chronic bronchitis and emphysema. COPD, along with asthma, forms the third leading cause of death in both developed and developing countries and an annual direct and indirect cost of healthcare of more than $50 billion in the US alone. Current therapies suffer from lack of long term efficacy, patient compliance and a narrow therapeutic index.
Adenosine is a powerful bronchoconstrictor and pro-inflammatory agent in COPD and asthma. Adenosine regulates tissue function by activating its receptors: A1AdoR and A2AAdoR are high affinity receptors and A2BAdoR and A3AdoR are low affinity receptors. During pathological conditions in lung, local adenosine concentrations rise to high levels and activate A2BAdoR. A2BAdoR agonized by adenosine induces both bronchoconstriction and pro-inflammatory effects in lung by acting on multiple cell types that lead to airway hyperreactivity and chronic inflammation. Therefore, A2BAdoR antagonists are expected to be beneficial in COPD and asthma.
PNQ-103 is a proprietary A2BAdoR antagonist, currently in the pre-clinical development stage for the potential treatment of COPD. It is a potent, selective, orally bio-available agent with low clearance and small volume of distribution. PNQ-103 is efficacious in standard rodent asthma and lung fibrosis models. PNQ-103 was found to be safe in exploratory safety studies including a Drug Matrix Screen, mini-AMES test, and a test for cardiovascular liability in dog telemetry as well as a 30- day repeat dose study in rats.
SCD
Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) affects millions of people worldwide. It is caused by an autosomal mutation in the hemoglobin gene (substitution of amino-acid valine [Hb A] for glutamic acid [Hb S]. Hb S in low O2 condition polymerizes, leading to distortion of the cell membrane of red blood cells (RBC) into an elongated sickle shape. Sickled RBCs accumulate in capillaries causing occlusions, impair circulation and cause tissue damage and severe disabilities. Unfortunately, there is no targeted therapy for SCD.
Adenosine levels are elevated in SCD patients. Activation of the A2BAdoR by adenosine increases 2,3-DPG levels in RBCs, which reduces Hb S affinity to O2 and promotes its polymerization leading to RBC sickling. A recent study published in Nature Medicine (2011; 17:79-86) demonstrated potential utility of an A2BAdoR antagonist for the treatment of SCD, through selective inhibition of 2,3-DPG production in RBCs. Therefore, PNQ-103, a selective A2BAdoR antagonist, is expected to be useful for the treatment of SCD. In support, ex vivo PoC (selective inhibition of 2,3-DPG production) has been established for PNQ-103 in RBCs from normal and SCD patients.

Adenosine A2b receptor antagonist
Advinus Therapeutics Ltd
KEEP WATCHING THIS POST……………
PNQ-201 is a proprietary orally active A2B Adenosine receptor (A2BAdoR) antagonist, currently in pre-clinical development for potential treatment of IBD. Advinus is looking for partnering/co-development opportunities.
A2BAdenosine Receptor (A2BAdoR) Antagonist PNQ-201 for IBD
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD), is a multifactorial disease of an etiology not fully understood. It includes chronic inflammation of the gut, characterized by dysfunction of mucosal immunity. Current oral therapies are ineffective, non-specific, and have significant adverse effects. As such, there is a large unmet medical need for the development of new and specific therapies for IBD.
Adenosine is a stimulator of pro-inflammatory effects in the gastro-intestinal tract. Adenosine regulates tissue function by activating its receptors: A1AdoR and A2AAdoR are high affinity receptors and A2BAdoR and A3AdoR are low affinity receptors. A2BAdoR is highly expressed in cecum and colon, with expression increased even further in epithelial cells in human and murine colitis. A2BAdoR, agonized by adenosine induces cytokine secretion at the mucosal surface, inflammatory cell infiltration into intestinal wall, focal crypt damage and ulceration. Therefore, A2BAdoR antagonists are expected to be beneficial in IBD patients.
PNQ-201 is a proprietary orally active A2BAdoR antagonist, currently in pre-clinical development for the potential treatment of IBD. PNQ-201 is a potent and selective A2B antagonist. It is selected for development on the basis of poor systemic bioavailability and high exposure in colon/cecum. Negligible systemic bioavailability and maximum exposure at the sites of action in the lower gastrointestinal tract is expected to offer maximum therapeutic benefits while minimizing potential side effects. PNQ-201 has shown a robust efficacy profile in standard models of IBD, namely, the mouse DSS-induced colitis model and the rat TNBS-induced colitis model. PNQ-201 was found to be safe in exploratory safety studies including a Drug Matrix Screen, mini-AMES test, and a 14- day repeat dose toxicology study in rats.

INTRODUCTION
The effects of adenosine are mediated through at least four specific cell membrane receptors so far identified and classified as Ai, A2A, A2B and A3 belonging to G protein-coupled receptor family. The Ai and A3 receptors down-regulate cellular cAMP levels through their coupling to G protein, which inhibit adenylate cyclase. In contrast, A2A and A2B receptors couple to G protein that activate adenylate cyclase and increase intracellular levels of cAMP. Through these receptors, adenosine regulates the wide range of physiological functions.
Advances in understanding the role of adenosine and its receptors in physiology and pathophysiology, as well as new developments in medicinal chemistry of these receptors have identified potential therapeutic areas for drug development. With the combination of pharmacological data, using selective ligands and genetically modified mice, important progress has been made toward an understanding of the role of ARs in a variety of diseases, such as inflammatory conditions, sepsis, heart attack, ischemia-reperfusion injury, vascular injury, spinal cord injury, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, diabetes, obesity, inflammatory bowel disease, retinopathy, and Parkinson’s Disease (PD).

Movement disorder constitutes a serious health problem, especially among the elderly. These movement disorders can often be the result of brain lesions. Disorders involving the basal ganglia which result in movement disorders include Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s chorea and Wilson’s disease. Tremor, rigidity, akinesia and postural changes are four classic symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, it is also associated with depression, dementia and overall cognitive decline. Parkinson’s disease has a prevalence of 1 per 1000 of the total population and increases to 1 per 100 for those aged over 60 years. Degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the subsequent reductions in the interstitial concentrations of dopamine in the striatum are critical to the development of Parkinson’s disease. About 80% of cells from the substantia nigra can be destroyed before the clinical symptoms of Parkinson’s disease become apparent
PD is a progressive, incurable disorder with no definite preventive treatment, although drugs are available to alleviate the symptoms and/or slow down the progress of the disease. Current therapy is based on dopamine replacement therapy, the most common drug treatments being dopaminomimetic agents, including L-DOPA, a dopamine precursor, as well as direct or indirect dopamine receptor agonists. L-DOPA is the mainstay in the treatment of PD, but because of tolerance problems and a wide range of adverse reactions, including involuntary movements and vomiting, a strong demand for new therapies exists. Among the various strategies, A2A AR blockers are considered a potential approach to treatment of the disease. Within the brain A2A ARs are richly expressed in the striatum, nucleus accumbens, and olfactory tubercle. A coexpression of A2A with D2 dopamine receptors has been reported in the GABAergic striatopallidal neurons where adenosine and dopamine agonists exert antagonistic effects in the regulation of locomotor activity. Activation of A2A ARs in striatopallidal neurons decreases the affinity of D2 receptors for dopamine, antagonizing the effects of D2 receptors.
The negative interaction between A2A and D2 receptors is at the basis of the use of A2A antagonists as a novel therapeutic approach in the treatment of PD. (Pharmacol. Ther. 2005, 105, 267). The recent discovery that the A2A can form functional heteromeric receptor complexes with other Gprote in-coupled receptors such as D2 and the mGlu5 receptors has also suggested new opportunities for the potential of A2A antagonists in PD. (J. Mol. Neurosci. 2005, 26, 209).
A2A knockout (KO) mice transient focal ischemia caused less neuronal damage in comparison to their wild-type (WT) littermates (J. Neurosci. 1999, 19, 9192.). Therefore, it seems that tonic activation of A2A ARs may be responsible for dangerous signal during injury, in contrast to the neuroprotective effects induced by endogenous Al activation. Recently, selective inactivation or reconstitution of A2A ARs in bone-marrow cells revealed their contribution to the development of ischemic brain injury (J.F. Nat. Med. 2004, 10, 1081) Blockade of A2A ARs has recently been implicated in the treatment of movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease (Trends Pharmacol. Sci. 1997, 18, 338-344) and in the treatment of cerebral ischaemia (Life Sci. 1994, 55, 61-65).
The potential utility of A2A AR antagonists in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease has been reviewed (CNS drugs, 1998, 10, 31 1-320). One advantage of A2A AR antagonist therapy is that the underlying neurodegenerative disorder may also be treated ((Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci. 1997, 825 (Neuroprotective Agents), 3048). In particular, blockade of A2A AR function confers neuroprotection against MPTP-induced neurotoxicity in mice (Neurosci. 2001, 21, RC143).
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system manifested by cognitive and memory deterioration, a variety of neuropsychiatric symptoms, behavioral disturbances, and progressive impairment of daily life activities. Recent research suggests that adenosine receptors play important roles in the modulation of cognitive function. Epidemiological studies have found an association between coffee (a nonselective adenosine receptor antagonist) consumption and improved cognitive function in AD patients and in the elderly. Long-term administration of caffeine in transgenic animal models showed a reduced amyloid burden in brain with better cognitive performance.

Advinus’ Pharma Development Bangalore operation, located on a 8-acre campus with 220,000 sq ft of modern facilities, offers end-to-end pre-clinical to early clinical development platform for pharma product development
Antagonists of adenosine A2A receptors mimic these beneficial effects of caffeine on cognitive function. Neuronal cell cultures with amyloid beta in the presence of an A2A receptor antagonist completely prevented amyloid beta-induced neurotoxicity. These findings suggest that the adenosinergic system constitutes a new therapeutic target for AD, and caffeine and A2A receptor antagonists may have promise to manage cognitive dysfunction in AD (Curr Neuropharmacol. 2009 September; 7(3): 207-216).
High expression of A2A ARs has been found in platelets, leukocytes, vascular smooth muscle, and endothelial cells with important implications in the regulation of inflammatory responses. It is now well established that stimulation of the A2A AR in immune cells induces anti-inflammatory effects, mostly due to its ability to increase cAMP levels, which has strong immunosuppressive effects (Trends Immunol. 2005, 26, 299). Stimulation of A2A ARs inhibits neutrophil adherence to the endothelium, degranulation of activated neutrophils and monocytes, plus superoxide anion generation. A2A ARs have been recently defined as sensors and terminators of proinflammatory activities. The strongest evidence for the key role of A2A in inflammation is derived by the elegant study using mice deficient in A2A ARs (Nature 2001, 414, 916).

The state-of-the-art facility in Pune, Advinus Drug Discovery, develops its own drug candidates to out-license them at preclinical or clinical stages
In this model the lack of A2A subtype leads to increased tissue inflammation and damage, thus suggesting a negative and nonredundant regulatory role for the A2A AR. This model permits one to appreciate that adenosinergic regulation of immune cells is fundamental in normal physiological control of inflammation in vivo in spite of the fact that other Gs-protein-coupled receptors and cAMP elevating ligands are present, such as cathecolamines, prostaglandins, dopamine, and histamine (Trends Immunol. 2005, 26, 299). Interestingly, the A2A AR has been demonstrated to be involved in promotion of wound healing and angiogenesis in healing wounds (Am. J. Physiol. Regul. Integr. Comp. Physiol. 2005, 289, R283).
Moreover, it plays an active role in the pathogenesis of dermal fibrosis, suggesting a role for antagonists as novel therapeutic approach in the treatment and prevention of dermal fibrosis in diseases such as scleroderma (Arthritis Rheum. 2006, 54, 2632) as well as hepatic fibrosis (Br. J. Pharmacol. 2006 Aug; 148(8): 1 144-55). Studies also suggest that A2A receptor antagonists may be beneficial for social memory impairment and hypertension (Behav Brain Res. 2005 Apr 30;159(2):197-205), sepsis (J Immunol. 2006 May 1 ; 176(9): 5616-26), spinal cord injury and neuroprotection (J Neuroinflammation. 201 1 Apr 12;8:31), retinopathy (IVOS, Jan. 2000, vol. 41 (1), 230-243, depression (Neurology. 2003 Dec 9;61(1 1 Suppl 6):S82-7), narcolepsy and other sleep related disorders (Prog Neurobiol. 2007 Dec;83(5):332-47), attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (Behav Pharmacol. 2009 Mar;20(2): 134-45; Clinical Genetics (2000), 58(1), 31-40 and references therein),

Antagonists of the A2A receptor are potentially useful therapies for the treatment of addiction. Major drugs of abuse (opiates, cocaine, ethanol, and the like) either directly or indirectly modulate dopamine signaling in neurons particularly those found in the nucleus accumbens, which contain high levels OfA2A adenosine receptors. Dependence has been shown to be augmented by the adenosine signaling pathway, and it has been shown that administration of an A2A receptor antagonist redues the craving for addictive substances (“The Critical Role of Adenosine A2A Receptors and Gi βγ Subunits in Alcoholism and Addiction: From Cell Biology to Behavior”, by Ivan Diamond and Lina Yao, (The Cell Biology of Addiction, 2006, pp 291-316) and “Adaptations in Adenosine Signaling in Drug Dependence: Therapeutic Implications”, by Stephen P. Hack and Macdonald J. Christie, Critical Review in Neurobiology, Vol. 15, 235-274 (2003)). See also Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research (2007), 31(8), 1302-1307.
A2A receptors may be beneficial for the treatment or prevention of disorders such as a movement disorder, for example, Parkinson’s disease or progressive supernuclear palsy, Restless leg syndrome, nocturnal myoclonus, cerebral ischaemia, Huntington’s disease, multiple system atrophy, corticobasal degeneration, Wilson’s disease or other disorders of basal ganglia which results in dyskinesias, post traumatic stress disorder.

UPDATE Biktarvy (bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide); Gilead; For the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults, Approved February 2018
Human immunodeficiency virus infection and related diseases are a major public health problem worldwide. Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) encodes three enzymes which are required for viral replication: reverse transcriptase, protease, and integrase. Although drugs targeting reverse transcriptase and protease are in wide use and have shown effectiveness, particularly when employed in combination, toxicity and development of resistant strains have limited their usefulness (Palella, et al. N. Engl. J Med. (1998) 338:853-860; Richman, D. D. Nature (2001) 410:995-1001). Accordingly, there is a need for new agents that inhibit the replication of HIV and that minimize PXR activation when co-administered with other drugs.
Certain polycyclic carbamoylpyridone compounds have been found to have antiviral activity, as disclosed in PCT/US2013/076367. Accordingly, there is a need for synthetic routes for such compounds.

Step 1
l-(2,2-dimethoxyethyl)-5-methoxy-6-(methoxycarbonyl)-4-oxo-l ,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid (3.15 g, 10 mmol) in acetonitrile (36 mL) and acetic acid (4 mL) was treated with methanesuffhnic acid (0.195 mL, 3 mmol) and placed in a 75 deg C bath. The reaction mixture was stirred for 7 h, cooled and stored at -10 °C for 3 days and reheated to 75 °C for an additional 2 h. This material was cooled and carried on crude to the next step.
Step 2
Crude reaction mixture from step 1 (20 mL, 4.9 mmol) was transferred to a flask containing (lR,3S)-3-aminocyclopentanol (0.809 g, 8 mmol). The mixture was diluted with acetonitrile (16.8 mL), treated with potassium carbonate (0.553 g, 4 mmol) and heated to 85 °C. After 2 h, the reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and stirred overnight. 0.2M HQ (50 mL) was added, and the clear yellow solution was extracted with dichloromethane (2×150 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to 1.49 g of a light orange solid. Recrystallization from dichloimethane:hexanes afforded the desired intermediate 42 A: LC S-ESI (m/z): [M+H]+ calculated for Ci5Hi7N206: 321.1 1 ; found: 321.3.
Step 3
Intermediate 42-A (0.225 g, 0.702 mmol) and (2,4,6-trifluorophenyl)methanamine (0.125 g, 0.773 mmol) were suspended in acetonitrile (4 mL) and treated with N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) (0.183 mmol, 1.05 mmol). To this suspension was added (dimethyiammo)- V,A/-dimethyi(3H-[l ,2,3]triazolo[4,5-&]pyridm~3-yiox.y)methammimum hexafluorophosphate (HATU, 0.294 g, 0.774 mmol). After 1.5 hours, the crude reaction mixture was taken on to the next step. LfJMS-ESlT (m/z): [M+H calculated for (\ ,l l.,, i \\:0< : 464.14; found: 464.2.
Step 4

[0520] In a reaction vessel, Meldrum’s acid (101 g, 1.0 equivalent) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (1.8 g, 0.2 equivalents) were combined with acetonitrile (300 mL). The resulting solution was treated with methoxyacetic acid (6.2 mL, 1.2 equivalents). Triethylamine (19.4 mL, 2.0 equivalents) was added slowly to the resulting solution, followed by pivaloyl chloride (9.4 mL, 1.1 equivalents). The reaction was then heated to about 45 to about 50 °C and aged until consumption of Meldrum’s acid was deemed complete.
A separate reaction vessel was charged with acetonitrile (50 mL) and J-la (13.4 g, 1.2 equivalents). The resulting solution was treated with trifluoroacetic acid (8.0 mL, 1.5 equivalents), and then this acidic solution was added to the acylation reaction in progress at about 45 to about 50 °C.
The reaction was allowed to age for at least 18 hours at about 45 to about 50 °C, after which time the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The crude residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (150 mL), and the organic layer was washed with water. The combined aqueous layers were extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, and the combined bicarbonate washes were back extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting crude material was purified twice via silica gel chromatography to yield C-la.

BICTEGRAVIR, NEW PATENT, WO 2018005328, CONCERT PHARMA
WO2018005328) DEUTERATED BICTEGRAVIR
CONCERT PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
TUNG, Roger, D.; (US)

Concert CEO Roger Tung
Novel deuterated forms of bictegravir is claimed. Gilead Sciences is developing the integrase inhibitor bictegravir as an oral tablet for the treatment of HIV-1 infection.
This invention relates to deuterated forms of bictegravir, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. In one aspect, the invention provides a compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein each of Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4a, Y4b, Y5a, Y5b, Y6, Y7a, Y7b, Y8, Y9, Y10a, Y10b, Y11a, and Y11b is independently hydrogen or deuterium; provided that if each Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4a, Y4b, Y5a, Y5b, Y6, Y7a, Y7b, Y8, Y9, Y10a, Y10b, and Y11 is hydrogen, then Y11b is deuterium.

Many current medicines suffer from poor absorption, distribution, metabolism and/or excretion (ADME) properties that prevent their wider use or limit their use in certain indications. Poor ADME properties are also a major reason for the failure of drug candidates in clinical trials. While formulation technologies and prodrug strategies can be employed in some cases to improve certain ADME properties, these approaches often fail to address the underlying ADME problems that exist for many drugs and drug candidates. One such problem is rapid metabolism that causes a number of drugs, which otherwise would be highly effective in treating a disease, to be cleared too rapidly from the body. A possible solution to rapid drug clearance is frequent or high dosing to attain a sufficiently high plasma level of drug. This, however, introduces a number of potential treatment problems such as poor patient compliance with the dosing regimen, side effects that become more acute with higher doses, and increased cost of treatment. A rapidly metabolized drug may also expose patients to undesirable toxic or reactive metabolites.
[3] Another ADME limitation that affects many medicines is the formation of toxic or biologically reactive metabolites. As a result, some patients receiving the drug may experience toxicities, or the safe dosing of such drugs may be limited such that patients receive a suboptimal amount of the active agent. In certain cases, modifying dosing intervals or formulation approaches can help to reduce clinical adverse effects, but often the formation of such undesirable metabolites is intrinsic to the metabolism of the compound.
[4] In some select cases, a metabolic inhibitor will be co-administered with a drug that is cleared too rapidly. Such is the case with the protease inhibitor class of drugs that are used to treat HIV infection. The FDA recommends that these drugs be co-dosed with ritonavir, an inhibitor of cytochrome P450 enzyme 3A4 (CYP3A4), the enzyme typically responsible for their metabolism (see Kempf, D.J. et al., Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy, 1997, 41(3): 654-60). Ritonavir, however, causes adverse effects and adds to the pill burden for HIV patients who must already take a combination of different drugs. Similarly, the
CYP2D6 inhibitor quinidine has been added to dextromethorphan for the purpose of reducing rapid CYP2D6 metabolism of dextromethorphan in a treatment of pseudobulbar affect. Quinidine, however, has unwanted side effects that greatly limit its use in potential combination therapy (see Wang, L et al., Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 1994, 56(6 Pt 1): 659-67; and FDA label for quinidine at http://www.accessdata.fda.gov).
[5] In general, combining drugs with cytochrome P450 inhibitors is not a satisfactory strategy for decreasing drug clearance. The inhibition of a CYP enzyme’s activity can affect the metabolism and clearance of other drugs metabolized by that same enzyme. CYP inhibition can cause other drugs to accumulate in the body to toxic levels.
[6] A potentially attractive strategy for improving a drug’s metabolic properties is deuterium modification. In this approach, one attempts to slow the CYP-mediated metabolism of a drug or to reduce the formation of undesirable metabolites by replacing one or more hydrogen atoms with deuterium atoms. Deuterium is a safe, stable, non-radioactive isotope of hydrogen. Compared to hydrogen, deuterium forms stronger bonds with carbon. In select cases, the increased bond strength imparted by deuterium can positively impact the ADME properties of a drug, creating the potential for improved drug efficacy, safety, and/or tolerability. At the same time, because the size and shape of deuterium are essentially identical to those of hydrogen, replacement of hydrogen by deuterium would not be expected to affect the biochemical potency and selectivity of the drug as compared to the original chemical entity that contains only hydrogen.
[7] Over the past 35 years, the effects of deuterium substitution on the rate of metabolism have been reported for a very small percentage of approved drugs (see, e.g., Blake, MI et al, J Pharm Sci, 1975, 64:367-91; Foster, AB, Adv Drug Res 1985, 14:1-40 (“Foster”); Kushner, DJ et al, Can J Physiol Pharmacol 1999, 79-88; Fisher, MB et al, Curr Opin Drug Discov Devel, 2006, 9:101-09 (“Fisher”)). The results have been variable and unpredictable. For some compounds deuteration caused decreased metabolic clearance in vivo. For others, there was no change in metabolism. Still others demonstrated increased metabolic clearance. The variability in deuterium effects has also led experts to question or dismiss deuterium modification as a viable drug design strategy for inhibiting adverse metabolism (see Foster at p.35 and Fisher at p.101).
[8] The effects of deuterium modification on a drug’s metabolic properties are not predictable even when deuterium atoms are incorporated at known sites of metabolism. Only by actually preparing and testing a deuterated drug can one determine if and how the rate of metabolism will differ from that of its non-deuterated counterpart. See, for example, Fukuto et al. (J. Med. Chem.1991, 34, 2871-76). Many drugs have multiple sites where metabolism is possible. The site(s) where deuterium substitution is required and the extent of deuteration necessary to see an effect on metabolism, if any, will be different for each drug.
Exemplary Synthesis
[72] Deuterium-modified analogs of bictegravir can be synthesized by means known in the art of organic chemistry. For instance, using methods described in US Patent No.9,216,996 (Haolun J. et al., assigned to Gilead Sciences, Inc. and incorporated herein by reference), using deuterium-containing reagents provides the desired deuterated analogs.
[73] Such methods can be carried out utilizing corresponding deuterated and optionally, other isotope-containing reagents and/or intermediates to synthesize the compounds delineated herein, or invoking standard synthetic protocols known in the art for introducing isotopic atoms to a chemical structure.
[74] A convenient method for synthesizing compounds of Formula I is depicted in the Schemes below.
[75] A generic scheme for the synthesis of compounds of Formula I is shown in Scheme 1 above. In a manner analogous to the procedure described in Wang, H. et al. Org. Lett.2015, 17, 564-567, aldol condensation of compound 1 with appropriately deuterated compound 2 affords enamine 3. Enamine 3 is then reacted with primary amine 4 to afford enamine 5, which then undergoes cyclization with dimethyl oxalate followed by ester hydrolysis to provide carboxylic acid 7.
[76] In a manner analogous to the procedure described in US 9,216,996, acetal deprotection of carboxylic acid 7 followed by cyclization with appropriately deuterated aminocyclopentanol 9 provides carboxylic acid intermediate 10. Amide coupling with appropriately deuterated benzylamine 11 followed by deprotection of the methyl ether ultimately affords a compound of Formula I in eight overall steps from compound 1.
[77] Use of appropriately deuterated reagents allows deuterium incorporation at the Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4a, Y4b, Y5a, Y5b, Y6, Y7a, Y7b, Y8, Y9, Y10a, Y10b, Y11a, and Y11bpositions of a compound of Formula I or any appropriate intermediate herein, e.g., about 90%, about 95%, about 97%, about 98%, or about 99% deuterium incorporation at any Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4a, Y4b, Y5a, Y5b, Y6, Y7a, Y7b, Y8, Y9, Y10a, Y10b, Y11a, and/or Y11b.
[78] Appropriately deuterated intermediates 2a and 2b, for use in the preparation of compounds of Formula I according to Scheme 1, may be prepared from corresponding deuterated reagents as exemplified in Scheme 2 below.
S h 2 S th i f C d 2 d 2b

[79] Synthesis of compound 2a (wherein Y3=H) by acetal formation of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) with dimethylsulfate has been described in Mesnard, D. et. al. J. Organomet. Chem.1989, 373, 1-10. Replacing DMF with N,N-dimethylformamide-d1 (98-99 atom % D; commercially available from Cambridge Isotope Laboratories) in this reaction would thereby provide compound 2b (wherein Y3=D).
[80] Use of appropriately deuterated reagents allows deuterium incorporation at the Y3 position of a compound of Formula I or any appropriate intermediate herein, e.g., about 90%, about 95%, about 97%, about 98%, or about 99% deuterium incorporation at Y3.
[81] Appropriately deuterated intermediates 4a-4d, for use in the preparation of compounds of Formula I according to Scheme 1, may be prepared from corresponding deuterated reagents as exemplified in Scheme 3 below.

[82] As described in Malik, M. S. et. al. Org. Prep. Proc. Int.1991, 26, 764-766, acetaldehyde is converted to alkylhalide 14a via reaction with chlorine gas and subsequent acetal protection with CaCl2 in methanol. As described in CN 103739506, reaction of 14a with aqueous ammonia and then sodium hydroxide provides primary amine 4a (wherein Y9=Y10a=Y10b=H). Replacing acetaldehyde with acetaldehyde-d1, acetaldehyde-2,2,2-d3, or acetaldehyde-d4 (all commercially available from CDN Isotopes with 98-99 atom % D) in the sequence then provides access to compounds 4b (Y9=D, Y10a=Y10b=H), 4c (Y9=H,
Y10a=Y10b=D) and 4d (Y9=Y10a=Y10b=D) respectively (Schemes 3b-d).
[83] Use of appropriately deuterated reagents allows deuterium incorporation at the Y9, Y10a, and Y10b positions of a compound of Formula I or any appropriate intermediate herein, e.g., about 90%, about 95%, about 97%, about 98%, or about 99% deuterium incorporation at any Y9, Y10a, and/or Y10b.
[84] Appropriately deuterated intermediates 9a-9d, for use in the preparation of compounds of Formula I according to Scheme 1, may be prepared from corresponding deuterated reagents as exemplified in Scheme 4 below.
[85] Following the procedures described by Gurjar, M. et. al. Heterocycles, 2009, 77, 909-925, meso-diacetate 16a is prepared in 2 steps from cyclopentadiene. Desymmetrization of 16a is then achieved enzymatically by treatment with Lipase as described in Specklin, S. et. al. Tet. Lett.201455, 6987-6991, providing 17a which is subsequently converted to aminocyclopentanol 9a (wherein Y4a=Y4b=Y5a=Y5b=Y6=Y7a=Y7b=Y8=H) via a 3 step sequence as reported in WO 2015195656.
[86] As depicted in Scheme 4b, aminocyclopentanol 9b (Y4a=Y4b=Y5a=Y5b=Y6=Y7a=Y7b= Y8=D) is obtained through an analogous synthetic sequence using cyclopentadiene-d6 and performing the penultimate hydrogenation with D2 in place of H2. Cyclopentadiene-d6 is prepared according to the procedure described in Cangoenuel, A. et. al. Inorg. Chem.2013, 52, 11859-11866.
[87] Alternatively, as shown in Scheme 4c, the meso-diol obtained in Scheme 4a is oxidized to the diketone following the procedure reported by Rasmusson, G.H. et. al. Org. Syn.1962, 42, 36-38. Subsequent mono-reduction with sodium borodeuteride and CeCl3 then affords the D1-alcohol in analogy to the method described in WO 2001044254 for the all-protio analog using sodium borohydride. Reduction of the remaining ketone using similar conditions provides the meso-D2-diol in analogy to the method reported in Specklin, S. et. al. Tet. Lett.2014, 55, 6987-6991 for the all protio analog using sodium borohydride. The meso-D2-diol is then converted to 9c (Y4a=Y4b=Y5a=Y5b=Y7a=Y7b=H, Y6=Y8=D) following the same procedures outlined in Scheme 4a.
[88] Likewise, the meso-diol obtained in Scheme 4b may be converted to 9d
(Y4a=Y4b=Y5a=Y5b=Y7a=Y7b=D, Y6=Y8=H) in an analogous manner as depicted in Scheme 4d. The use of deuterated solvents such as D2O or MeOD may be considered to reduce the risk of D to H exchange for ketone containing intermediates.
[89] Use of appropriately deuterated reagents allows deuterium incorporation at the Y4a, Y4b, Y5a, Y5b, Y6, Y7a, Y7b, and Y8 positions of a compound of Formula I or any appropriate intermediate herein, e.g., about 90%, about 95%, about 97%, about 98%, or about 99% deuterium incorporation at any Y4a, Y4b, Y5a, Y5b, Y6, Y7a, Y7b, and/or Y8.
[90] Appropriately deuterated intermediates 11a-11d, for use in the preparation of compounds of Formula I according to Scheme 1, may be prepared from corresponding deuterated reagents exemplified in Scheme 5 below.

KEEPING WATCHING THIS POSTS FOR SYNTHESIS UPDATES
12/22/2015
On December 21, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Uptravi (selexipag) tablets to treat adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a chronic, progressive, and debilitating rare lung disease that can lead to death or the need for transplantation.
December 22, 2015
On December 21, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Uptravi (selexipag) tablets to treat adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a chronic, progressive, and debilitating rare lung disease that can lead to death or the need for transplantation.
“Uptravi offers an additional treatment option for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension,” said Ellis Unger, M.D., director of the Office of Drug Evaluation I in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. “The FDA supports continued efforts to provide new treatment options for rare diseases.”
PAH is high blood pressure that occurs in the arteries that connect the heart to the lungs. It causes the right side of the heart to work harder than normal, which can lead to limitations on exercise ability and shortness of breath, among other more serious complications.
Uptravi belongs to a class of drugs called oral IP prostacyclin receptor agonists. The drug acts by relaxing muscles in the walls of blood vessels to dilate (open) blood vessels and decrease the elevated pressure in the vessels supplying blood to the lungs.
Uptravi’s safety and efficacy were established in a long-term clinical trial of 1,156 participants with PAH. Uptravi was shown to be effective in reducing hospitalization for PAH and reducing the risks of disease progression compared to placebo. Participants were exposed to Uptravi in this trial for a median duration of 1.4 years.
Common side effects observed in those treated with Uptravi in the trial include headache, diarrhea, jaw pain, nausea, muscle pain (myalgia), vomiting, pain in an extremity, and flushing.
Uptravi was granted orphan drug designation. Orphan drug designation provides incentives such as tax credits, user fee waivers, and eligibility for exclusivity to assist and encourage the development of drugs for rare diseases.
Uptravi is marketed by San Francisco-based Actelion Pharmaceuticals US, Inc.
