BMS-911543 is an orally available small molecule targeting a subset of Janus-associated kinase (JAK) with potential antineoplastic activity. JAK2 inhibitor BMS-911543 selectively inhibits JAK2, thereby preventing the JAK/STAT (signal transducer and activator of transcription) signaling cascade, including activation of STAT3. This may lead to an induction of tumor cell apoptosis and a decrease in cellular proliferation. JAK2, often upregulated or mutated in a variety of cancer cells, mediates STAT3 activation and plays a key role in tumor cell proliferation and survival.
The JAK2 selective compound BMS911543 (WO2011028864) is in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of m elofibrosis. BMS91 1543 is shown below.

Discovery of a Highly Selective JAK2 Inhibitor, BMS-911543, for the Treatment of Myeloproliferative Neoplasms
JAK2 kinase inhibitors are a promising new class of agents for the treatment of myeloproliferative neoplasms and have potential for the treatment of other diseases possessing a deregulated JAK2-STAT pathway. X-ray structure and ADME guided refinement of C-4 heterocycles to address metabolic liability present in dialkylthiazole 1 led to the discovery of a clinical candidate, BMS-911543 (11), with excellent kinome selectivity, in vivo PD activity, and safety profile

Ni-Catalyzed C–H Functionalization in the Formation of a Complex Heterocycle: Synthesis of the Potent JAK2 Inhibitor BMS-911543
BMS-911543 is a complex pyrrolopyridine investigated as a potential treatment for myeloproliferative disorders. The development of a short and efficient synthesis of this molecule is described. During the course of our studies, a Ni-mediated C–N bond formation was invented, which enabled the rapid construction of the highly substituted 2-aminopyridine core. The synthesis of this complex, nitrogen-rich heterocycle was accomplished in only eight steps starting from readily available materials.

These Schemes are illustrative and are not meant to limit the possible techniques one skilled in the art may use to manufacture compounds disclosed herein.
As shown below in Scheme 1, the general preparation of compound 7 is described. Trichloroacetyl pyrrole (Compound 1) is reacted with a halogenating agent to give the C4-bromo pyrrole (Compound 2). Alcoho lysis occurs in the presence of an alcohol and base to generate ester (Compound 3), which can be selectively nitrated through contact with an appropriate nitrating agent (defined as a species that generates N02 ), yielding C5-nitro pyrrole (Compound 4). Compound 4 can be isolated as its free form, or optionally as a salt with an appropriate base. Ethylation with an appropriate alkylating agent generates the N-ethyl pyrrole (Compound 5), which in the presence of an imidazole, base, palladium and an appropriate phosphine ligand, will undergo a coupling process to form Compound 6. Reduction of the nitro-group of Compound 6 in the presence of hydrogen, a metal catalyst and optionally a base will produce Compound 7.
Scheme 1
As shown below in Scheme 2, the preparation of Compound 13 is described. Trichloroacetyl pyrrole is treated with NBS in acetonitrile to produce Compound 8. Treatment with sodium ethoxide in EtOH yields the ethyl ester Compound 9. This may be treated with a range of nitrating systems, in this example, NaNC /SCVPy, to generate nitro-pyrrole Compound 10, which can be isolated directly or as a salt form with an appropriate base, preferably dibenzylamine. Ethylation with ethyl iodide generates Compound 11 which may be isolated, or optionally telescoped directly into the arylation with Compound 32. Arylation proceeds in the presence of palladium, Xantphos, potassium pivylate and Hunig’s base to generate Compound 12. Hydrogenation presence of Pt/C followed by cyclization with NaOEt yields Compound 13.
Scheme 2
Another process of the invention is disclosed in Scheme 3 shown below. Compound 14 is prepared from Compound 3 in the presence of an alkylating agent. Treatment with a suitable diboron reagent produces Compound 15, which can then be coupled with a suitably functionalized imidazole derivative to yield Compound 16. Amino lysis with a suitable nitrogen donor produces Compound 17, which can cyclize under appropriate conditions to produce Compound 7.
Scheme 3
Step 3 Step 4 Step 5
As shown below in Scheme 4, ethylation of Compound 9 with ethyl iodide produces Compound 18. This may be directly reacted with dipinacol-diboron in the presence of Pd(OAc)2 and tricyclohexylphosphin hexafluorophosphate and
tetramethylammonium acetate to yield Compound 19. Subsequent coupling with 5-Br-imidazole derivative yields Compound 20. Treatment with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in the presence of triethylamine yields the Compound 21. Subsequent cyclization with Piv20 in the presence of PRICAT™ and hydrogen yields Compound 13.

As shown below in Scheme 5, Compound 23 may be converted to Compound 26 by two pathways. In one option, Compound 23 can be treated with palladium, ligand and a mild base to prepare Compound 25. Reaction of Compound 25 with a metal hydroxide produces Compound 26.
Alternately, Compound 23 can be treated with palladium and ligand in the presence of a soluble hydroxide base, followed by treatment with the metal counter-ion to prepare Compound 26 directly. Once Compound 26 is formed, it can be coupled to Compound 27 to form compound I.
A solution of Compound 1 in acetonitrile (1238.0 kg, 264.9 kg after correction) was charged into a 5000 L glass-lined reactor at a temperature of 20-30 °C. The mixture was added with stirring over about 2 h and then cooled to 0 °C. NBS (221.8 kg) was charged into the mixture at intervals of 20-30 min at 0-20 °C. The mixture was cooled to 0-5 °C and reacted until the content of Compound 8was < 1.0%. Additional NBS (4.0 kg) was charged into the mixture at 0-20 °C.

The mixture was cooled to 0-5 °C over about 2 h. Sodium alcoholate solution in ethanol (21%, 36.4 kg) was added dropwise over about 1-1.5 h at 0-5 °C. The reaction mixture was then heated to about 25-30 °C and tested until the content of Compounds 8/9 was < 1.0%. The reaction mixture was concentrated at a temperature < 50 °C until about 1.3-1.4 volume of Compound 8 was left. The concentrated mixture was cooled at 25-30 °C. The mixture was quenched into cooled water (3427.0 kg) over about 2 h. After addition, the mixture was stirred at 0-5 °C over about 2 h for crystallization. The mixture was filtered and the filter cake was rinsed. The solid was dried at 30-40 °C over 40-45 h to afford 234.3 kg of Compound 9 , 99.9% purity and 91.3% yield.

4-[4-({[4-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]carbamoyl}amino)-3-fluorophenoxy]-N-methylpyridine-2-carboxamide or Regorafenib is low molecular weight, orally available, inhibitor of multiple protein kinases, including kinases involved in tumour angiogenesis (VEGFR1, -2, -3, TIE2), oncogenesis (KIT, RET, RAF-1, BRAF, BRAFV600E), and the tumour microenvironment (PDGFR, FGFR). In preclinical studies regorafenib has demonstrated antitumour activity in a broad spectrum of tumour models including colorectal tumour models which is mediated both by its antiangiogenic and antiproliferative effects. Major human metabolites (M-2 and M-5) exhibited similar efficacies compared to Regorafenib both in vitro and in vivo models.
Regorafenib was approved by USFDA in 2012 and is marketed under the brand name Stivarga®, is an important chemotherapeutic agent useful for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) who have been previously treated with, or are not considered candidates for, available therapies. These include fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy, an anti-VEGF therapy and an anti-EGFR therapy.
Regorafenib is chemically known as 4-[4-({[4-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl) phenyl] carbamoyl} amino)-3-fluorophenoxy]-N-methylpyridine-2-carboxamide (I). Regorafenib is a white to slightly pink or slightly brownish solid substance with the empirical formula C2iHi5ClF4N403 and a molecular weight of 482.82. Regorafenib is practically insoluble in water, dilute alkaline solution, dilute acid solution, n-heptane, glycerine and toluene. It is slightly soluble in acetonitrile, dichloromethane, propylene glycol, methanol, 2-propanol, ethanol and ethyl acetate. It is sparingly soluble in acetone and soluble in PEG 400 (macrogol). Regorafenib is not hygroscopic.

On December 23, 2015, the FDA published a draft guidance for industry “Advancement of Emerging Technology Applications to Modernize the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Base“. Comments and suggestions regarding this draft document should be submitted within 60 days of publication.
The draft guidance provides recommendations to pharmaceutical companies interested in participating in a program involving the submission of CMC (chemistry, manufacturing, and controls) information containing emerging manufacturing (including testing, packaging and labeling operations, and quality control) technology to FDA.
The program is open for new drug applications (INDs), original or supplemental new drug application (NDA), abbreviated new drug application (ANDA), or biologic license application (BLA). It only affects the quality section of a submission (CMC and facility-related information).
The development of emerging manufacturing technology, like, for example, aseptic manufacturing facilities with highly automated systems and isolators, may lead to improved manufacturing, and therefore improved product quality and availability throughout a product´s lifecycle.
Pharmaceutical companies can submit questions and proposals about the use of these technologies to a group within CDER (Emerging Technology Team – ETT).
The draft guidance is a follow-on to the FDA guidance for industry “PAT – A Framework for Innovative Pharmaceutical Development, Manufacturing, and Quality Assurance” which describes the concept that quality cannot be tested into products. It should be built-in or should be present by design. Through the ETT, FDA intends to encourage the adoption of innovative approaches by leveraging existing resources of FDA to facilitate regulatory reviews of submissions.
Examples of emerging technology elements include an innovative or novel:
- Product manufacturing technology, such as the dosage form;
- Manufacturing process (e.g., design, scale-up, and/or commercial scale);
- Testing technology.
Interested parties should submit a written meeting request to participate in the ETT program at least three months prior to the planned application (IND, ANDA, BLA, NDA) submission date. In addition to the items outlined in the FDA guidance “Formal Meetings Between the FDA and Sponsors or Applicants” the request should also include the following items:
- A brief description of the proposed testing, process, and/or proposed technology;
- A brief explanation why the proposed testing, process, and/or technology are substantially novel and unique;
- A description of how the proposed testing and/or technology could modernize pharmaceutical manufacturing and thus improve product safety, identity, strength, quality, or purity;
- A summary of the development plan and any perceived roadblocks to technical or regulatory implementation;
- A timeline for submission.
The request should generally not exceed five pages and FDA expects to notify companies of its decision regarding acceptance into the program within 60 days of receipt of the request. Once accepted into the program, the participant can engage with ETT and CMC in accordance with existing meeting procedures and guidances (e.g. above mentioned FDA guidance on Formal Meetings).
For further information, please find all the details in the draft guidance “Advancement of Emerging Technology Applications to Modernize the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Base“.

The present invention describes an eco-friendly and cost effective process for the synthesis of teri-butyl (3R,5S)-6-oxo-3,5-dihydroxy-3,5-0-isopropylidene-hexanoate [I]
PITAVASTATIN
TEXT
tert-b tyl (3R,5S)-6-oxo-3,5-dihydroxy-3,5-0-isopropylidene-hexanoate [I] [CAS No. 124752-23-4] is key intermediate for the preparation of statins such as Atorvastatin (Tetrahedron 63, 2007, 8124 -8134), Cerivastatin (Journal of Labeled Compounds and Radiopharmaceuticals, 49, 2006 311-319), Fluvastatin [WO2007125547; US 4739073], Pitavastatin [WO2007/132482; US2012/22102 Al, WO2010/77062 A2; WO2012/63254 Al ; EP 304063; Tetrahedron Letters, 1993, 34, 513 – 516; Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan, 1995, 68, 364 – 372] and Rosuvastatin [WO2007/125547 A2; WO2011/132172 Al ; EP 521471]. Statins are used for treatment of hypercholesterolemia, which reduces the LDL cholesterol levels by inhibiting activity of HMG-CoA reductase enzyme, which is involved in the synthesis of cholesterol in liver.
[I]
Compound [I] is generally obtained by various methods of oxidation of teri-butyl 2- ((4R,65)-6-(hydroxymethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-l,3-dioxan-4-yl)acetate [compound II] and are discussed in details hereinafter. In addition, various methods for synthesis of compound [II] are also elaborated below.
[II]
[II]
A) tert-butyl2-((4«,6.S)-6-(hydroxymethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-l,3-dioxan-4-yl)acetate
[compound II]
US patent Number 5278313 describes a process for synthesis of compound [II]
(Schemel). In the said process, (5)-methyl 4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate has been obtained in only 70% yield through whole cell enzymatic reduction of methyl 4-chloro-3- oxobutanoate, which has a necessity of special equipment such as fermenters as well as other microbial facilities such as sterile area, autoclaves, incubator for growing seed culture, etc.
(S)-mefhyl 4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate upon reaction with teri-butyl acetate in presence of LiHMDS or LDA at -78°C, yielded (S)-ieri-butyl 6-chloro-5-hydroxy-3- oxohexanoate, which was further transformed to corresponding diol through syn selective reduction in presence of methoxydiethyl borane/sodium borohydride at -78°C. The diol thus obtained was converted to compound [II] .
The overall yield for this process is low and required special equipment such as fermenters, etc and in addition to that, this process is not cost effective due to use of costly reagent such as methoxydiethyl borane.
Moreover, methoxydiethylborane is highly pyrophoric (Encyclopedia for organic synthesis, editor in chief L. Paquette; 2, 5304; Published by John and Wiley Sons;
Organic Process Research & Development 2006, 10, 1292-1295) and hence safety is a major concern.
Scheme 1
EP 1282719 B l (PCT application WO 01/85975 Al ) discloses a process for synthesis of compound ( R, 5S)-tert-bv y\ 3,5,6-trihydroxyhexanoate from (S)-tert-b tyl-5,6-dihydroxy-3-oxohexanoate through a) asymmetric hydrogenation in presence of a chiral catalyst e.g. di-mu-chlorobis-[(p-cymene)chlororuthenium(II)] along with an auxiliary such as (IS, 2S)-(+)-N- (4-toluenesulfonyl)-l ,2-diphenylethylenediamine as ligand, which gave desired product only in 70% diastereomeric excess (de); b) Whole cell enzymatic reduction of (S)-tert- butyl 5,6-dihydroxy-3-oxohexanoate to obtain compound (3R, 5S)-tert-bv y\ 3,5,6-trihydroxyhexanoate in 99% de (80% yield).
It is needless to mention that it has necessity of fermenter and other microbiological equipment (Scheme 2).
Moreover, conversion of (2>R,5S)-tert-bv y\ 6-acetoxy-3,5-dihydroxyhexanoate to tert-bv yl 2-((4R,65)-6-(acetoxymethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-l ,3-dioxan-4-yl)acetate was accomplished in only 25% yield and also required the flash chromatography for isolation of desired product.
Thus, overall yield for this process is poor and process is not operation friendly especially at large scale hence cannot be considered feasible for commercial manufacturing.
Scheme 2
EP1317440 Bl (PCT Application WO 02/06266 Al) has disclosed the process for synthesis of compound [II] from 6-chloro-2,4,6-trideoxy-D-erythro-hexose (Scheme 3) .
In the said patent application 6-chloro-2,4,6-trideoxy-D-erythro-hexose was converted to (4R, 65)-4-hydroxy-6-chloromethyl-tetrahydropyran-2one with excess of bromine in presence of potassium bicarbonate, which liberates environmentally undesired gas i.e. carbon dioxide.
Moreover, starting material i.e. 6-chloro-2,4,6-trideoxy-D-erythro-hexose is not commercially available and conversion efficiency of starting material at large scale towards (4R, 65)-4-hydroxy-6-chloromethyl-tetrahydropyran-2-one is only 67%.
Scheme 3
US Patent No. 6689591 B2 has demonstrated the whole cell enzymatic reduction of teri-butyl 6-chloro-3,5-dioxohexanoate to compound [II] (Scheme 4).
In the said process, whole cell enzymatic reduction is not specific; yield for desired product is only 34% and other partially reduced products are also obtained.
Hence, further purification is required for obtaining the desired compound. Thus, this process is not suitable for commercial scale.
Scheme 4
Tatsuya et al (Tetrahedron Letters; 34, 1993,513 – 516) has reported synthesis of compound [I] from derivative of L-tartatric acid (Scheme 5).
In the said process, tartaric acid di-i‘sopropyl ester is doubly protected by tert-butyldimethylsilyl group, which was reacted with dianion of teri-butyl acetoacetate to give β, δ-diketo ester compound.
β,δ-diketo ester was reacted with 2 equivalent of diisobutylaluminium hydride (which is a pyrophoric reagent) to afford -hydroxy,8-keto ester in only 60% yield.
This process is not industrially viable as overall yield is very low and also because of use of costly and pyrophoric reagents/chemicals.
Scheme 5
US7205418 (PCT application WO03/053950A1) has described the process for synthesis of compound [II] from (S)-ieri-butyl-3,4-epoxybutanoate (Scheme 6).
The overall yield for this process is very low and moreover, it required the diastereomeric separation of teri-butyl 2-(6-(iodomethyl)-2-oxo-l,3-dioxan-4-yl)acetate by flash chromatography.
Since overall requirement of title compound is very high, any operation involving flash chromatography will tend to render the process commercially unviable.
Scheme 6
Fengali et al (Tetrahedron: Asymmetry 17; 2006; 2907-2913) has reported the process for synthesis of compound [II] from racemic epichlorohydrin (Scheme 7).
In this process, racemic epichlorohydrin was converted to corresponding nitrile intermediate through reaction with sodium cyanide; nitrile intermediate thus obtained was further resolved through lipase catalyzed stereo-selective esterification to obtain (5)-4-(benzyloxy)-3-hydroxybutanenitrile and (R)-l-(benzyloxy)-3-cyanopropan-2-yl acetate;
separation of desired product i.e. (S)-4-(benzyloxy)-3-hydroxybutanenitrile having 98% de (40% yield) was done by column chromatography.
Needless to mention a commodity chemical like compound [I] cannot be manufactured by such a laboratory method, which involved number of steps.
Scheme 7
Bode et al (Organic letters, 2002, 4, 619-621) has reported diastereomer- specific hydrolysis of 1,3-diol-acetonides (Scheme 8).
In this publication, duration of the reaction for diastereomer- specific hydrolysis of 1,3, diol-acetonides is reported to be 4 h, however, in our hand it was observed that hardly any reaction took place in 4 h, which made it non-reproducible.
In addition to that, separation of desired product is achieved by flash chromatography and it is needless to mention that any process which involved flash chromatography would render the process to be commercially unviable.
Hence, additional innovation needs to be put in for making the process industrially viable.
Scheme 8
CN 101613341A has reported the process for synthesis of compound [II] (Scheme
9).
In the same patent application tert-b tyl (S)-6-chloro-5-hydroxy-3-oxohexanoate was synthesized through Blaise condensation of (5)-4-chloro-3-hydorxy-butanenitrile with zinc enolate of tert butyl bromo acetate.
In the literature, synthesis of tert-bv yl (S)-6-chloro-5-hydroxy-3-oxohexanoate was reported through Blaise condensation of silyl protected (5)-4-chloro-3-(trimethylsilyl)oxy-butanenitrile with zinc enolate of tert butyl bromo acetate, in good yield (Synthesis 2004, 16, 2629-2632). Thus, protection of hydroxy group in (5)-4-chloro-3-hydorxy-butanenitrile is imperative.
In the said Chinese patent application, in claim 7, it was mentioned that solvent used for conversion of tert-bv yl (5)-6-chloro-5-hydroxy-3-oxohexanoate to ( R,5S)-tert-butyl 6-chloro-3,5-dihydroxyhexanoate is anyone or mixture of more than one from tetrahydrofuran, ether, methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, /so-propanol and ethylene glycol.
However, in enablement the only example using mixture of solvent was that of THF-methanol (Experimental section, Example 4: The preparation of (R,5)-6-chloro-3,5- dihydroxyhexanoate) and same outcome was expected in other individual or mixture of solvents.
Claim 8 of CN 101613341A mentioned that reduction was carried out by any one or mixture of more than one reducing agents such as sodium borohydride, potassium borohydride, lithium aluminum hydride, diethylmethoxy borane, triethyl borane and tributyl borane.
It implies that either any one of the reducing agents or a mixture of the same can be employed. From reaction mechanism it is very much clear that diethylmethoxy borane, triethyl borane and tributyl borane form the six membered complex between optically active hydroxyl and carbonyl group, which gets reduced by sodium borohydride, signifying that individually diethylmethoxy borane, triethyl borane and tributyl borane are not reducing agents
Moreover, in claims 12 and 13 (Experimental section, Example 4: The preparation of (R,S)-6-chloro-3,5-dihydroxyhexanoate), it is mentioned that reduction should be carried out in temperature range -80 °C to -60 °C, implying that reaction would not work beyond this temperature range i.e. it would work in the temperature window of -80 °C to -60 °C only.
Summarizing, the teachings of the application are not workable.
Scheme 9
Wolberg et al (Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2000, 4306) has reported that diastereomeric excess for syn selective reduction using mixture of diethyl methoxy borane/sodium borohydride of compound [VI] gave 93% de for compound [VIII], which required further re-crystallization to obtain compound [VIII] in 99% de and 70% yield.
Thus, all the reported methods for stereo-selective hydride reduction of compound [VI] were achieved through mixture of trialkyl borane or diethyl methoxy borane & sodium borohydride in THF, at -78°C. As mentioned earlier, trialkyl borane or diethyl methoxy borane are pyrophoric in nature; in addition to that anhydrous THF is costly and moreover, reaction required large dilution.
Hence, there is need for developing efficient, environment friendly, cost effective and green process for stereo-selective reduction compound [VI].
B) The process of Oxidation of compound [II] to compound [I] has been discussed in following literature processes.
1) Swern oxidation (US4970313; Tetrahedron Letters, 1990, 2545
Synthetic Communications, 2003, 2275 – 2284).
2) Parrkh-Doering oxidation (J. Am. Chem. Soc, 1967, 89, 5505-5507)
3) TEMPO/NaOCl oxidization (EP2351762)
4) Trichloroisocyanuric acid/ TEMPO (CN 101747313A)
5) Oxidation of compound [II] to compound [I] through IBX [CN101475558A].
It would be evident that most of the reported methods are not “green” and
environmentally benign; none of the reported methods use molecular oxygen as oxidizing agent in presence of metal catalyst/co-catalyst.
Example 18: Process for synthesis of tert-butyl 2-((4R,6S)-6-formyl-2,2-dimethyl-l,3-dioxan-4-yl)acetate [I]
A reactor was charged with 1.1 g of copper (I) chloride and 10 mL of acetonitrile. 2-2′ Bipyridyl (156 mg) and TEMPO (156 mg) were added to the reactor under oxygen environment at 25°C. A solution of (6-Hydroxymethyl-2,2-dimethyl-[l,3]dioxan-4-yl)-acetic acid tert-butyl ester 2.6 g in 26 mL DCM was added dropwise over a period of 10 min into it. The reaction mass was stirred at 40°C and progress of reaction was monitored on GLC, which shows that 90% conversion for desired product.
Example 19: Process for synthesis of tert-butyl 2-((4R,6S)-6-formyl-2,2-dimethyl-l,3-dioxan-4-yl)acetate [I]
A reactor was charged with 1.1 g of copper (I) chloride and 10 mL of dichlorome thane. 2-2′ Bipyridyl (156 mg) and TEMPO (156 mg) were added to the reactor under oxygen environment at 25°C. A solution of (6-Hydroxymethyl-2,2-dimethyl-[l,3]dioxan-4-yl)-acetic acid tert-butyl ester 2.6 g in 26 mL DCM was added dropwise over a period of 10 min into it. The reaction mass was stirred at 40°C and progress of reaction was monitored on GLC, which shows that 90% conversion for desired product.

The present invention is directed to polymorphic forms of Pitavastatin sodium and processes for preparation of the same
Novel crystalline polymorphic forms (I and II) and an amorphous form of pitavastatin, useful for treating hyperlipidemia and mixed dyslipidemia.
Also claims a method for preparing the crystalline and amorphous forms of pitavastatin. In January 2016, Newport Premium™ reported that Lupin holds an active US DMF for pitavastatin calcium since July 2013.
Nissan Chemical Industries and licensee Kowa, with sub-licensees Sankyo, Eli Lilly, Esteve, JW Pharmaceutical, Recordati, Laboratorios Delta and Zydus-Cadila, have developed and launched pitavastatin.
WO2014203045, claiming a process for preparing an intermediate useful in the synthesis of statins (eg pitavastatin).
Pitavastatin is a cholesterol lowering agent of the class of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor. The HMG-CoA reductase enzyme catalyzes the conversions of HMG- CoA to mevalonate. Inhibitors of HMG-CoA reductase are commonly referred to as “statins.” Statins are therapeutically effective drugs used for reducing low density lipoprotein (LDL) particle concentration in the blood stream of patients at risk for cardiovascular disease.
Pitavastatin is one of the synthetic statins which is chemically known as (3R, 5S, 6E)-7-[2-cyclopropyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl) quinoline-3-yl]-3, 5-dihydroxy-6- heptenoic acid represented by structural formula (1):
Formula (1)
Pitavastatin and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts are described in US 5,753,675 patent and US 5,856,336 patent, respectively.
Processes for the preparation of Pitavastatin are well documented in the literature. European patents, EP 0304063 and EP 1099694 and reports by Miyachi et al (Tetrahedron Letters
(1993) vol. 34, pages 8267-8270) and Takahashi et al (Bull. Chem. Soc. Japan (1995) Vol. 68, 2649-2656) describe processes for preparation of Pitavastatin.
US 5,872,130 patent discloses sodium salt of Pitavastatin. This patent, however, is silent about the solid state form of Pitavastatin Sodium.
It is generally known in the art that active pharmaceutical ingredients frequently do not exhibit the range of physical properties that makes them directly suitable for development. One of the approaches that is used to modify the characteristics of drug substances is to employ a salt form of the substance, since salts enable one to modify aqueous solubility, dissolution rate, solution pH, crystal form, hygroscopicity, chemical stability, melting point and even mechanical properties. The beneficial aspects of using salt forms of active pharmaceutical ingredients are well known and represent one of the means to increase the degree of solubility of otherwise intractable substances and to increase bioavailability.
Although the known salts of Pitavastatin like sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium etc. and their polymorphic forms may address some of the deficiencies in terms of formulated product and its manufacturability. There remains a need for yet further improvement in these properties as well as improvements in other properties such as flowability, and solubility.
Polymorphism is a known phenomenon among pharmaceutical substances. It is commonly defined as the ability of any substance to exist in two or more crystalline phases that have a different arrangement and/or conformation of the molecules in the crystal lattice. Different polymorphic forms of the same pharmaceutically active moiety also differ in their physical properties such as melting point, solubility, chemical reactivity, etc. These properties may also appreciably influence pharmaceutical properties such as dissolution rate and bioavailability.
Further, the discovery of new polymorphic forms and solvates of an active pharmaceutical ingredient provides broader scope to a formulation scientist for formulation optimization, for example by providing a product with different properties, e.g., better processing or handling characteristics, improved dissolution profile, or improved shelf-life. For at least these reasons, there is a need for polymorphs of Pitavastatin salts such as Pitavastatin sodium.
New polymorphic forms and hydrates and/or solvates of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of Pitavastatin can also provide an opportunity to improve the performance characteristics of a pharmaceutical product.
Therefore, there is a scope to prepare novel polymorphic forms of Pitavastatin sodium and hydrates and/or solvates.

Improved process for preparing liraglutide, by solid phase synthesis, useful for treating type 2 diabetes.
It having been developed and launched by Novo Nordisk, under license from Scios and Massachusetts General Hospital.
Liraglutide, marketed under the brand name Victoza, is a long-acting glucagon like peptide agonist developed by Novo Nordisk for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
Liraglutide is an injectable drug that reduces the level of sugar (glucose) in the blood. It is used for treating type 2 diabetes and is similar to exenatide (Byetta). Liraglutide belongs to a class of drugs called incretin mimetics because these drugs mimic the effects of incretins. Incretins, such as human-glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1 ), are hormones that are produced and released into the blood by the intestine in response to food. GLP-1 increases the secretion of insulin from the pancreas, slows absorption of glucose from the gut, and reduces the action of glucagon. (Glucagon is a hormone that increases glucose production by the liver.)
All three of these actions reduce levels of glucose in the blood. In addition, GLP-1 reduces appetite. Liraglutide is a synthetic (man-made) hormone that resembles and acts like GLP-1 . In studies, Liraglutide treated patients achieved lower blood glucose levels and experienced weight loss.
Liraglutide, an analog of human GLP-1 acts as a GLP-1 receptor agonist. The peptide precursor of Liraglutide, produced by a process that includes expression of recombinant DNA in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has been engineered to be 97% homologous to native human GLP-1 by substituting arginine for lysine at position 34. Liraglutide is made by attaching a C-16 fatty acid (palmitic acid) with a glutamic acid spacer on the remaining lysine residue at position 26 of the peptide precursor.
The molecular formula of Liraglutide is Ci72H265N4305i and the molecular weight is 3751 .2 Daltons. It is represented by the structure of formula (I)
!e™A!a™Trp™leu™Va!~-Arg~~GIy-~Arg~~Gly~~OH
Formula (I)
U.S. Patent No. 7572884 discloses a process for preparing Liraglutide by recombinant technology followed by acylation and removal of N-terminal extension.
U.S. Patent No. 7273921 and 6451974 discloses a process for acylation of Arg-34GLP-1 (7-37) to obtain Liraglutide.
U.S. Patent No. 8445433 discloses a solid phase synthesis of Liraglutide using a fragment approach.
International Application publication No. WO2013037266A1 discloses solid phase synthesis of Liraglutide, characterized in that comprises A) the presence of the activator system, solid phase carrier and by resin Fmoc protection N end obtained by coupling of glycine (Fmoc-Gly-OH) Fmoc-Gly-resin; B) by solid phase synthesis, prepared in accordance with the sequentially advantage Liraglutide principal chain N end of the coupling with Fmoc protected amino acid side chain protection and, wherein the lysine using Fmoc-Lys (Alloc)-OH; C) Alloc getting rid of the lysine side chain protecting group; D) by solid phase synthesis, the lysine side chain coupling Palmitoyl-Glu-OtBu; E) cracking, get rid of protecting group and resin to obtain crude Liraglutide ; F) purification, freeze-dried, to obtain Liraglutide.
Even though, the above mentioned prior art discloses diverse processes for the preparation of Liraglutide, they are often not amenable on commercial scale because of expensive amino acid derivatives such as pseudo prolines used in those processes.
Hence, there remains a need to provide simple, cost effective, scalable and robust processes for the preparation of Liraglutide involving commercially viable amino acid derivatives and reagents.

Abstract
Here, we describe the identification of a clinical candidate via structure-based optimization of a ligand efficient pyrazole-benzimidazole fragment. Aurora kinases play a key role in the regulation of mitosis and in recent years have become attractive targets for the treatment of cancer. X-ray crystallographic structures were generated using a novel soakable form of Aurora A and were used to drive the optimization toward potent (IC50 ≈ 3 nM) dual Aurora A/Aurora B inhibitors. These compounds inhibited growth and survival of HCT116 cells and produced the polyploid cellular phenotype typically associated with Aurora B kinase inhibition. Optimization of cellular activity and physicochemical properties ultimately led to the identification of compound16 (AT9283). In addition to Aurora A and Aurora B, compound 16 was also found to inhibit a number of other kinases including JAK2 and Abl (T315I). This compound demonstrated in vivo efficacy in mouse xenograft models and is currently under evaluation in phase I clinical trials.

CAS 173334-58-2,aliskiren hemifumarate
Aliskiren is a renin inhibitor. It was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2007 for the treatment of hypertension.
Tekturna contains aliskiren hemifumarate, a renin inhibitor, that is provided as tablets for oral administration. Aliskiren hemifumarate is chemically described as (2S,4S,5S,7S)-N-(2-carbamoyl-2-methylpropyl)-5-amino-4-hydroxy-2,7diisopropyl-8-[4-methoxy-3-(3-methoxypropoxy)phenyl]-octanamide hemifumarate and its structural formula is
 |
Molecular formula: C30H53N3O6 • 0.5 C4H4O4
Aliskiren hemifumarate is a white to slightly yellowish crystalline powder with a molecular weight of 609.8 (free base- 551.8). It is soluble in phosphate buffer, n-octanol, and highly soluble in water.

Aliskiren (INN) (trade names Tekturna, US; Rasilez, UK and elsewhere) is the first in a class of drugs called direct renin inhibitors. Its current licensed indication is essential (primary) hypertension.
Aliskiren was co-developed by the Swiss pharmaceutical companies Novartis andSpeedel.[1][2] It was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2007 for the treatment of primary hypertension.[3]
In December 2011, Novartis had to halt a clinical trial of the drug after discovering increased incidence of nonfatal stroke, renal complications, hyperkalemia, and hypotension in patients with diabetes and renal impairment (ALTITUDE Trial ).[4] [5]
As a result, in April 20, 2012:
A new contraindication was added to the product label concerning the use of aliskiren with angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) in patients with diabetes because of the risk of renal impairment, hypotension, and hyperkalemia.
A warning to avoid use of aliskiren with ARBs or ACEIs was also added for patients with moderate to severe renal impairment (i.e., where glomerular filtration rate is less than 60 ml/min).
Renin, the first enzyme in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, plays a role in blood pressure control. It cleaves angiotensinogen to angiotensin I, which is in turn converted byangiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) to angiotensin II. Angiotensin II has both direct and indirect effects on blood pressure. It directly causes arterial smooth muscle to contract, leading to vasoconstriction and increased blood pressure. Angiotensin II also stimulates the production of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex, which causes the tubules of the kidneys to increase reabsorption of sodium, with water following, thereby increasing plasma volume, and thus blood pressure. Aliskiren binds to the S3bp binding site of renin, essential for its activity.[6] Binding to this pocket prevents the conversion of angiotensinogen to angiotensin I. Aliskiren is also available as combination therapy withhydrochlorothiazide.[7]
Many drugs control blood pressure by interfering with angiotensin or aldosterone. However, when these drugs are used chronically, the body increases renin production, which drives blood pressure up again. Therefore, doctors have been looking for a drug to inhibit renin directly. Aliskiren is the first drug to do so.[8][9]
Aliskiren may have renoprotective effects independent of its blood pressure−lowering effect in patients with hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and nephropathy, who are receiving the recommended renoprotective treatment. According to the AVOID study, researchers found that treatment with 300 mg of aliskiren daily, as compared with placebo, reduced the mean urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio by 20%, with a reduction of 50% or more in 24.7% of the patients who received aliskiren as compared with 12.5% of those who received placebo. Furthermore, the AVOID trial showed treatment with 300 mg of aliskiren daily reduces albuminuria in patients with hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and proteinuria, who are receiving the recommended maximal renoprotective treatment with losartan and optimal antihypertensive therapy. Therefore, direct renin inhibition will have a critical role in strategic renoprotective pharmacotherapy, in conjunction with dual blockade of the renin−angiotensin−aldosterone system with the use of ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II–receptor blockers, very high doses of angiotensin II−receptor blockers, and aldosterone blockade.[10]
Aliskiren is a minor substrate of CYP3A4 and, more important, P-glycoprotein:
- It reduces furosemide blood concentration.
- Atorvastatin may increase blood concentration, but no dose adjustment is needed.
- Due to possible interaction with ciclosporin, the concomitant use of ciclosporin and aliskiren is contraindicated.
- Caution should be exercised when aliskiren is administered with ketoconazole or other moderate P-gp inhibitors (itraconazole, clarithromycin, telithromycin, erythromycin, or amiodarone).
- Doctors should stop prescribing aliskiren-containing medicines to patients with diabetes (type 1 or type 2) or with moderate to severe kidney impairment who are also taking an ACE inhibitor or ARB, and should consider alternative antihypertensive treatment as necessary.[13]
-
Aliskiren (I) is a second generation renin inhibitor with renin-angiotensin system (RAS) as its target. It’s used clinically in the form of Aliskiren hemifumarate (Rasilez®) and was approved by FDA in May, 2007.

Aliskiren has the chemical name: (2S, 4S, 5S, 7S)-5-amino-N-(2-carbamoyl-2-methylpropyl)-4-hydroxy-2-isopropyl-7-[4-methoxy-3-(3-methoxypropoxy)benzyl]-8-methyloctanamide (CAS No.: 173334-57-1). Its chemical structure is illustrated with Formula I given below:
-
The method of preparation for Aliskiren and its intermediates has been reported in US7132569 , WO0208172 , US5559111 (equivalent patent toCN1266118 ), US5606078 , CN101016253 , WO2007/045421 ,EP2062874 , Helvetica ChimicaActa (2005, 3263-3273).
-
In US7132569 , WO0208172 et al., the preparation of Aliskiren (I) comprises the following steps as described in reaction scheme 1: coupling 2-(3-methoxypropoxy)-4-((R)-2-(bromomethyl)-3-methylbutyl)-1-methoxybenzene (II) with (2S, 4E)-5-chloro-2-isopropyl-4-pentenoic acid derivative (III) to obtain the compound of formula IV; halolactonization of the compound of formula IV to obtain the compound of formula V; then substituting the compound of formula V with azide to obtain the compound of formula VI; ring-opening the compound of formula VI with 3-amino-2,2-dimethylpropionamide (VII) in the presence of 2-hydroxypyridine and triethylamine to obtain the compound of formula VIII and a final catalytic hydrogenation of the compound of formula VIII to obtain Aliskiren (I). This preparation process is illustrated in Reaction Scheme 1.
-
In the patented preparation described above, chiral starting materials with the compounds of formula II and III are utilized to obtain the compound of formula IV. However, the reactions followed after the preparation of the compound of formula IV, such as the halolactonization and especially the substitutive reaction between the compound of formula V and azide, have problems of low yields and numerous by-products, which is not conducive to industrial scale production.
-
US5559111 (equivalent patent CN1266118 ) and US5606078 et al. report the preparation of the compound of formula XI via Grignard reaction with 4-bromo-1-methoxy-2-(3-methoxypropoxy)benzene (IX) and the compound of formula X as starting materials as illustated in Reaction Scheme 2:
-
In the patented preparation described above, there are multiple reaction steps in the preparation of the compound of formula X from the compound of formula XII. The key steps, as described in Reaction Scheme 3, involve selective reduction agents such as sodium tri-tert-butoxyaluminum hydride and diisobutylaluminium hydride to prepare aldehyde and the reaction conditions need to be very well-controlled.
-
[0009]The compound of formula XI prepared by reaction scheme 2 could then be converted into Aliskiren (I) after multiple catalytic hydrogenation, protection and de-protection. In this method of preparation, a stepwise catalytic hydrogenation, azido reduction and dehydroxylation were implemented to reduce by-products during the catalytic hydrogenation. In addition, it is necessary to protect and de-protect the free hydroxyl group during the preparation. This synthetic scheme has disadvantage of multiple synthetic steps, tedious operation, lengthy overall reaction duration, low yield and particularly high production cost for the starting compound of formula X.
-
WO2007/045421 has reported an improved preparation method in which the starting material 4-bromo-1-methoxy-2-(3-methoxypropoxy)benzene (IX) firstly reacts with the compound of formula XIII via Grignard reaction to obtain the compound of formula XIV, and then followed by catalytic hydrogenation and ketone reduction to yield the compound of formula XV-A, as illustrated in Reaction Scheme 4:
-
In the above preparation, expensive reagents, such as sodium tri-tert-butoxyaluminum hydride and diisobutylaluminium hydride were eliminated, but additional synthetic steps were introduced. In addition, the preparation of the compound of formula XV-A prepared from the compound of formula XIV via ketone reduction required extended reaction time, great amount of catalyst with multiple small addition and good operation skills.
-
EP2062874A1 provides a method in preparing the compound of formula XVI. In this method, the compound of formula XVII is obtained from the compound of formula XVI via halogenation. A corresponding Grignard reagent is firstly prepared from the compound of formula IX or XVII reacting with magnesium, which is then couples with another chemical in the presence of the metal catalyst iron(III) acetylacetonate (Fe(acac)3) to obtain the compound of formula XVIII as described in Reaction Scheme 5:
-
In EP2062874A1 , the compound of formula XVIII reacts with 3-amino-2,2-dimethylpropionamide (VII). The resulted product is then through reduction of the azio group to obtain Aliskiren (I). In this patent, detailed experimental protocol was not provided although N-methylpyrrolidone was mentioned as solvent. We found: 1) it is difficult to prepare the Grgnard reagent from the compound of formula IX; 2) the compounds of formula XVII and XVIII are not quite stable in the presence of iron(III) acetylacetonate.

Paper
A novel synthesis of the renin inhibitor aliskiren based on an unprecedented disconnection between C5 and C6 was developed, in which the C5 carbon acts as a nucleophile and the amino group is introduced by a Curtius rearrangement, which follows a simultaneous stereocontrolled generation of the C4 and C5 stereogenic centers by an asymmetric hydrogenation. Operational simplicity, step economy, and a good overall yield makes this synthesis amenable to manufacture on scale.

- Alkylation of 3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzyl alcohol (I) with 1-bromo-3-methoxypropane (II) gives ether (III). Subsequent conversion of benzyl alcohol (III) into bromide (IV) is carried out using bromotrimetylsilane. The chiral isovaleryloxazolidinone (V) is alkylated with bromide (IV) by means of LiHMDS to afford (VI), which is hydrolyzed to the (S)-2-aryl-2-isopropylpropionic acid (VII) by means of lithium peroxide. The reduction of acid (VII) to the corresponding alcohol with NaBH4/I2 reagent, followed by treatment with PPh3 and NBS, provides bromide (VIII). Alkylation of the chiral dimethoxydihydropyrazin (IX) with bromide (VIII) produces (X). Further hydrolysis of the pyrazine ring of (X) with HCl, followed by Boc protection of the resulting (S,S)-amino ester, yields compound (XI). Reduction of the ester group of (XI) with DIBAL gives aldehyde (XII). This compound is condensed with the Grignard reagent (XIII) to afford the diastereomeric mixture of amino alcohols (XIV). Treatment of mixture (XIV) with 2,2-dimethoxypropane (XV) and TsOH produces a mixture of oxazolidines, from which the required (S,S,S)-isomer (XVI) is isolated by flash chromatography. Hydrogenolitic deprotection of the benzyl ether of (XVI) gives alcohol (XVII).des, M.D., Alexia Richard, M.Sc., Zhihua Xiang, Ph.D., Patrick Brunel, M.D., and Marc A.

SB1578 (disclosed in WO2007058627 and in WO2011008172 as the citrate salt) is in ongoing phase I studies for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. SB 1578 is shown below.
SB1578, also known as ONX-0805, is a novel, orally bioavailable JAK2 inhibitor with specificity for JAK2 within the JAK family and also potent activity against FLT3 and c-Fms. SB1578 blocks the activation of these kinases and their downstream signaling in pertinent cells, leading to inhibition of pathological cellular responses. The biochemical and cellular activities of SB1578 translate into its high efficacy in two rodent models of arthritis. SB1578 not only prevents the onset of arthritis but is also potent in treating established disease in collagen-induced arthritis mice with beneficial effects on histopathological parameters of bone resorption and cartilage damage. SB1578 abrogates the inflammatory response and prevents the infiltration of macrophages and neutrophils into affected joints. It also leads to inhibition of Ag-presenting dendritic cells and inhibits the autoimmune component of the disease. In summary, SB1578 has a unique kinase spectrum, and its pharmacological profile provides a strong rationale for the ongoing clinical development in autoimmune diseases.

The compound 9E-15-(2-pyrrolidin-1-yl-ethoxy)-7,12,25-trioxa-19,21 ,24-triaza-tetracyclo[18.3.1.1(2,5).1(14,18)]hexacosa-1 (24),2,4,9,14,16l18(26)l20,22-nonaene (Compound I) was first described in PCT/SG2006/000352 and shows significant promise as a pharmaceutically active agent for the treatment of a number of medical conditions. Pharmaceutical development of this compound is underway based on the activity profiles demonstrated by the compound.
Compound I
In the development of a drug suitable for mass production and ultimately commercial use acceptable levels of drug activity against the target of interest is only one of the important variables that must be considered. For example, in the formulation of pharmaceutical compositions it is imperative that the pharmaceutically active substance be in a form that can be reliably reproduced in a commercial
manufacturing process and which is robust enough to withstand the conditions to which the pharmaceutically active substance is exposed.
From a manufacturing perspective, it is important that the commercial manufacturing process of a pharmaceutically active substance is such that the same material is produced when the same manufacturing conditions are used. In addition, it is desirable that the pharmaceutically active substance exists in a solid form where minor changes to the manufacturing conditions do not lead to major changes in the solid form of the pharmaceutically active substance produced. For example, it is important that the manufacturing process produces material having the same crystalline properties on a reliable basis, and also that the process produces material having the same level of hydration.
In addition, it is important that the pharmaceutically active substance be stable to degradation, hygroscopicity and subsequent changes to its solid form. This is important to facilitate the incorporation of the pharmaceutically active ingredient into pharmaceutical formulations. If the pharmaceutically active substance is hygroscopic (“sticky”) in the sense that it absorbs water over time it is almost impossible to reliably formulate the pharmaceutically active substance into a drug as the amount of substance to be added to provide the same dosage will vary greatly depending upon the degree of hydration. Furthermore, variations in hydration or solid form (“polymorphism”) can lead to changes in physico-chemical properties, such as solubility or dissolution rate, which can in turn lead to inconsistent oral absorption in a patient.
Accordingly, chemical stability, solid state stability, and “shelf life” of the pharmaceutically active agent are very important factors. In an ideal situation the pharmaceutically active agent and any compositions containing it, should be capable of being effectively stored over appreciable periods of time without exhibiting a significant change in the physico-chemical characteristics of the active component such as its activity, moisture content, solubility characteristics, solid form and the like.
In relation to 9E-15-(2-pyrrolidin-1-yl-ethoxy)-7,12,25-trioxa-19,21 ,24-triaza-tetracyclo[18.3.1.1 (2,5).1(14,18)]hexacosa-1(24),2,4,9,14,16,18(26),20,22-nonaene
initial studies were carried out on the hydrochloride salt and indicated that polymorphism was prevalent, with the compound being found to adopt more than one crystalline form depending upon the manufacturing conditions. In addition it was observed that the ratio of the polymorphs varied from batch to batch even when the manufacturing conditions remained constant. These batch-to-batch inconsistencies made the hydrochloride salt less desirable from a commercial viewpoint.
Accordingly it would be desirable to develop salts of 9E-15-(2-pyrrolidin-1-yl-ethoxy)-7, 12,25-trioxa-i 9,21 ,24-triaza-tetracyclo[18.3.1.1 (2,5).1 (14,18)]hexacosa-1(24)l2,4,9,14,16,18(26),20,22-nonaene which overcome or ameliorate one or more of the above identified problems.

List of hydrochloride and citrate salt batches used for comparative studies
Example 4 – Formation of the Citrate salt (Batch 4) in THF as solvent:
The free base of compound 1 (0.30Og, 0.648mmoles, 1.eq) was added to 12mL of THF. The solution was heated to reflux until complete dissolution was observed and maintained for 1h. A solution of citric acid (0.149g, 0.778mmoles, 1.2eq) dissolved in 12mL THF was then added slowly at reflux conditions. The mixture was refluxed for a further 15min then cooled. Crystallization was observed on gradual cooling. The crystals were stirred at room temperature for 12h and filtered under vacuum. The product was dried under vacuum to afford 250mg.

Herein, we describe the synthesis and SAR of a series of small molecule macrocycles that selectively inhibit JAK2 kinase within the JAK family and FLT3 kinase. Following a multiparameter optimization of a key aryl ring of the previously described SB1518 (pacritinib), the highly soluble 14l was selected as the optimal compound. Oral efficacy in the murine collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) supported 14l as a potential treatment for autoimmune diseases and inflammatory disorders such as psoriasis and RA. Compound 14l (SB1578) was progressed into development and is currently undergoing phase 1 clinical trials in healthy volunteers.
