Eliglustat tartrate (USAN)
Eliglustat tartate (Genz-112638)
What is Eliglustat?
- Eliglustat is a new investigational phase 3 compound from Genzyme Corporation that is being studied for type 1 Gaucher Disease.
- Eliglustat works as a substrate reduction therapy by reducing glucocerebroside. formation.
- This product is an oral agent (i.e. a pill) that is taken once or twice a day in contrast to an IV infusion for enzyme replacement therapy. Enzyme replacement therapy focuses on replenishing the enzyme that is deficient in Gaucher Disease and breaks down glucocerebroside that accumulates.
- The clinical trials for eliglustat tartate are sponsored by Genzyme Corporation.

Eliglustat tartrate (Genz-1 12638) is a glucocerebroside (glucosylceramide) synthase inhibitor for the treatment of gaucher disease and other lysosomal storage disorders, which is currently under development.
Eliglustat is chemically known as 1 R, 2R-Octanoic acid [2-(2′, 3′-dihydro-benzo [1 , 4] dioxin-6′-yl)-2-hydroxy-1 -pyrrolidin-1 -ylmethyl]-ethyl]-amide, having a structural formula I depicted here under.
Formula I
Eliglustat hemitartrate (Genz-1 12638) development by Genzyme, is a glucocerebroside (glucosylceramide) synthase inhibitor for the treatment of Gaucher disease and other lysosomal storage disorders. Eliglustat hemitartrate is orally active with potent effects on the primary identified molecular target for type 1 Gaucher disease and other glycosphingolipidoses, appears likely to fulfill high expectations for clinical efficacy.
Gaucher disease belongs to the class of lysosomal diseases known as glycosphingolipidoses, which result directly or indirectly from the accumulation of glycosphingolipids, many hundreds of which are derived from glucocerebroside. The first step in glycosphingolipid biosynthesis is the formation of glucocerebroside, the primary storage molecule in Gaucher disease, via glucocerebroside synthase (uridine diphosphate [UDP] – glucosylceramide glucosyl transferase). Eliglustat hemitartrate is based on improved inhibitors of glucocerebroside synthase.
U.S. patent No. 7,196,205 (herein described as US’205) discloses a process for the preparation of eliglustat or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In this patent, eliglustat was synthesized via a seven-step process involving steps in that sequence:
(i) coupling S-(+)-2-phenyl glycinol with phenyl bromoacetate followed by column chromatography for purification of the resulting intermediate,
(ii) reacting the resulting (5S)-5-phenylmorpholin-2-one with 1 , 4-benzodioxan-6-carboxaldehyde to obtain a lactone,
(iii) opening the lactone of the oxazolo-oxazinone cyclo adduct via reaction with pyrrolidine,
(iv) hydrolyzing the oxazolidine ring, (v) reducing the amide to amine to obtain sphingosine like compound, (vi) reacting the resulting amine with octanoic acid and N-hydroxysuccinimide to obtain crude eliglustat, (vii) purifying the crude eliglustat by repeated isolation for four times from a mixture of ethyl acetate and n-heptane.

FDA approves Raplixa to help control bleeding during surgery

April 30, 2015
Release
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Raplixa (fibrin sealant [human]), the first spray-dried fibrin sealant approved by the agency. It is used to help control bleeding during surgery.
Raplixa is a biological product approved for use in adults to help control bleeding from small blood vessels when standard surgical techniques, such as suture, ligature or cautery, are ineffective or impractical. When applied to a bleeding site, Raplixa is dissolved in the blood and a reaction starts between the fibrinogen and thrombin proteins. This results in the formation of blood clots to help stop the bleeding.
Raplixa contains fibrinogen and thrombin, two proteins found in human plasma, the liquid portion of blood. The two protein components are individually purified using a manufacturing process that includes virus inactivation and removal steps to help reduce the risk for the transmission of blood-borne viruses. The fibrin sealant components are then spray-dried, blended and packaged in a vial. Raplixa can be applied directly from the original product vial or by spraying with a delivery device onto a bleeding site. It is approved for use in conjunction with an absorbable gelatin sponge.
“This approval provides surgeons an additional option to help control bleeding during surgery when needed,” said Karen Midthun, M.D., director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research. “The spray-drying process used to manufacture Raplixa produces dried powders that can be combined into a single vial. This eliminates the need to combine the fibrinogen and thrombin before use and allows the product to be stored at room temperature.”
In support of approval, the FDA reviewed data from a clinical study involving 719 participants, over 11 months, undergoing different types of surgical procedures. The study demonstrated Raplixa’s effectiveness by comparing the reduction in the time needed for bleeding to stop when using this fibrin sealant and the time needed for bleeding to stop when using an absorbable sponge alone.
The most commonly reported adverse reactions were surgical pain, nausea, constipation, fever and decreased blood pressure.
Raplixa is manufactured by ProFibrix BV, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Medicines Company, based in Parsippany, New Jersey.

Fosamprenavir (marketed by ViiV Healthcare as the calcium salt), under the trade names Lexiva (U.S.) and Telzir (Europe) is apro-drug of the protease inhibitor and antiretroviral drug amprenavir. The FDA approved it October 20, 2003, while the EMEA approved it on July 12, 2004. The human body metabolizes fosamprenavir in order to form amprenavir, which is the active ingredient. That metabolization increases the duration that amprenavir is available, making fosamprenavir a slow-release version of amprenavir and thus reducing the number of pills required versus standard amprenavir.
A head-to-head study with lopinavir[1] showed the two drugs to have comparable potency, but patients on fosamprenavir tended to have a higher serum cholesterol. Fosamprenavir’s main advantage over lopinavir is that it is cheaper.
PATENT
http://www.google.com/patents/WO2012032389A2
Fosamprenavir calcium has HIV aspartyl protease inhibitory activity and is particularly well suited for inhibiting HIV-1 and HIV-2 viruses; it is chemically known as calcium (3S) tetrahydro-3-furanyl(l S,2R)-3-[[(4-aminophenyl) sulfonyl] (isobutyl) amino]- l-benzyl-2- (phosphonooxy)propyl carbamate and represented by formula la.

There are very few references available in the literature for preparation of fosamprenavir and its intermediates. Patent US 5 585 397 provides process for preparation of fosamprenavir intermediate (IV), as depicted in scheme 1 , wherein it is purified using silica gel chromatography, however it does not provide any purity data. Purification by column chromatography is not suitable on commercial scale, since it is time consuming, requires large volume of solvents and is very much laborious.

Scheme 4: Process for preparation of fosamprenavir sodium (VII) as given in US 6 436989. US 6 436 989 provides compound (V) and (VIA) with an HPLC purity of 90% and 92% respectively, however purity of fosamprenavir sodium salt (VII) is not mentioned. This patent provides fosmaprenavir salt intermediates with very low HPLC purity. The prior art literature describes synthesis of fosamprenavir calcium and its intermediates and like any synthetic compound, fosmaprenavir calcium can contain number of impurities from various source like starting material, reaction by-products, degradation, isomeric impurities etc. The prior art documents for fosamprenavir calcium does not provide any information for the impurities that may have been formed from the various synthetic processes provided therein.
Fosamprenavir calcium i.e. calcium (3S) tetrahydro-3-furanyl(lS,2R)-3-[[(4-aminophenyl) sulfonyl] (isobutyl) amino]- 1 -benzyl-2-(phosphonooxy)propyl carbamate (la), is a chiral substrate containing three asymmetrical carbon centre resulting into eight stereoisomers.
Different isomers of a chiral drug molecule bind differently to target receptors, one isomer of a drug may have a desired beneficial effect while the other may cause serious and undesired side effects or sometimes even beneficial but entirely different effects, hence in the drug molecules the effective isomer is preferred in pure form, free of other undesired isomers, thus fosamprenavir calcium free of its other stereoisomer would always be preferred.
The methods described above for preparation of fosamprenavir does not describe suitable methods to minimize formation of R-isomer impurity (lb)
(lb)
One of the approach to minimize R-isomer impurity (lb) is to use highly pure intermediate (S)-3-tetrahydrofuranyl-N-succinimidyl carbonate (Ila), in the synthesis of fosamprenavir. US 5 585 397 provides process for preparation of N-succinimidlyl-(S)-3-tetrahydrofuryl carbonate (Ila), however it does not provide any method for purification neither does it provide any purity data for the same. The PCT application WO 94/18192 provides process for preparation (S)-3-tetrahydrofuranyl- N-succinimidyl carbonate (Ila) as depicted in scheme 5. The application discloses recrystallization of compound (Ila) from EtOAc/hexane. At our hands, crystallization of compound (Ila) from ethyl acetate/hexane provided compound (Ila) containing the intermediate R-isomer impurity compound (lib) upto 0.37% area percentage of HPLC, which is not suitable for its use in the synthesis of fosamprenavir substantially free of R-isomer impurity (lb).

a= S-isomer a= S-isomer
b= R-isomer b= R-isomer
Scheme 5: process for preparation of (S)-3-tetrahydrofuranyl-N-succinimidyl carbonate
Commercially available (S)-3-tetrahydrofuranol (Villa) contains upto 5% area percentage of HPLC of (R)-3-tetrahydrofuranyl (Vlllb), which on reaction with N,N-disuccinimidyl carbonate (IX) results in (S)-3-tetrahydrofuranyl-N-succinimidyl carbonate (Ila) containing upto 2.5% area percentage of HPLC of the R-isomer impurity, (R)-3-tetrahydrofuranyl-N- succinimidyl carbonate (lib). This impure (S)-3-tetrahydrofuranyl-N-succinimidyl carbonate (Ila) when converted to fosamprenavir calcium (la) by series of reaction, results into fosamprenavir calcium containing upto 2.0 % area percentage of HPLC of (3R) tetrahydro-3- furanyl(l S,2R)-3-[[(4-aminophenyl) sulfonyl] (isobutyl) amino]- 1 -benzy 1-2- (phosphonooxy)propyl carbamate (lb), which is undesired isomer of fosamprenavir calcium. Impurities of any form are undesirable in the active pharmaceutical product since it may have adverse effect on the patient to be treated.
The purity of API produced is clearly a necessary condition for commercialization. The impurities produced in the manufacturing process must be limited to very small amount and are preferred to be substantially absent. The ICH Q7A guidance for API manufacturers requires that process impurities must be maintained below set limits utilizing various parameters. In the United States the Food and Drug Administration guidelines, would mostly limit the amount of impurities present in the API, similarly in other countries the impurity levels would be defined in their respective pharmacopeias.
The process for preparation of fosamprenavir calcium (la) of present invention is as depicted in scheme 5.

These involve a novel and economical method for the preparation of a key intermediate, (3S)-hydroxytetrahydrofuran, from L-malic acid. Three new approaches to the assembly of Amprenavir are also discussed. Of these, a synthetic route in which an (S)-tetrahydrofuranyloxy carbonyl is attached to L-phenylalanine appears to be the most promising manufacturing process, in that it offers satisfactory stereoselectivity in fewer steps.

The reaction of the chiral epoxide (I) with isobutylamine (II) in refluxing ethanol gives the secondary amine (III), which is protected with benzyl chloroformate (IV) and TEA, yielding the dicarbamate (V). Selective deprotection of (V) with dry HCl in ethyl acetate affords the primary amine (VI), which is treated with 3(S)-tetrahydrofuryl N-succinimidinyl carbonate (VII) (prepared by condensation of tetrahydrofuran-3(S)-ol (VIII) with phosgene and N-hydroxysuccinimide (IX)) and DIEA in acetonitrile to provide the corresponding carbamate (X). The deprotection of (X) by hydrogenation with H2 over Pd/C in ethanol gives the secondary amine (XI), which is condensed with 4-nitrophenylsulfonyl chloride (XII) by means of NaHCO3 in dichloromethane/water to yield the sulfonamide (XIII). Finally, the nitro group of (XIII) is reduced with H2 over Pd/C in ethyl acetate to afford the target

The reaction of the chiral epoxide (I) with isobutylamine (II) in refluxing ethanol gives the secondary amine (III), which is protected with benzyl chloroformate (IV) and TEA, yielding dicarbamate (V). Selective deprotection of (V) with dry HCl in ethyl acetate affords the primary amine (VI), which is treated with 3(S)-tetrahydrofuryl N-succinimidinyl carbonate (VII) — obtained by reaction of tetrahydrofuran-3(S)-ol (VIII) first with phosgene and then with N-hydroxysuccinimide (IX) — and DIEA in acetonitrile to provide the corresponding carbamate (X). Deprotection of (X) by hydrogenation with H2 over Pd/C in ethanol gives the secondary amine (XI), which is condensed with 4-nitrophenylsulfonyl chloride (XII) by means of NaHCO3 in dichloromethane/water to yield the sulfonamide intermediate (XIII).

Esterification of the OH group of compound (XIII) with PO3H3 by means of DCC in hot pyridine gives the corresponding phosphite (XVII), which is oxidized with bis(trimethylsilyl)peroxide in bis(trimethylsilyl)azane to yield the expected phosphate (XVIII). Reduction of the nitro group of (XVIII) with H2 over Pd/C in ethyl acetate affords fosamprenavir (XIX). Finally, fosamprenavir (XIX) is treated with aqueous NaHCO3 or with calcium acetate in water to provide the corresponding salts. Alternatively, the phosphate (XIX) can be obtained directly by reaction of intermediate (XIII) with POCl3 in pyridine, followed by hydrolysis with 2N HCl.
