RG-1577, a selective and reversible monoamine oxidase B inhibitor, for treating AD (phase 2 clinical, as of May 2015).
Family members of the product case for RG-1577 (WO2004026825) hold protection in EU until 2023 and expire in US in 2024 with US154 extension. Follows on from WO2006097197, claiming a process for preparing RG-1577.
Alzheimer‘s Disease is a brain disease that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, up to loss of the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. It is the most common cause of dementia among older people. Mild Alzheimer‘s Disease manifests itself in memory loss and small changes in other cognitive abilities, e.g getting lost, trouble handling money and managing daily tasks, having some mood and personality changes, etc.
In the stage of Moderate Alzheimer‘s Disease, the control of language, reasoning, sensory processing, and conscious thought are impacted. Memory loss and con usion grow worse, e.g patients have problems recognizing family and friends and become unable to learn new things, etc. hallucinations, delusions, and paranoia may occur. .Severe Alzheimer‘s Disease is the final stage. Patients cannot communicate anymore and are completely dependent.
N-[(3S)-l-[4-[(3-fluorophenyl)methoxy]phenyl]-5-oxo-pyrrolidin-3-yl]acetamide has previously been described in the art. 1 WO 2006/097197 2 and WO 2006/0972703 relate to methods for preparing enantiomerically pure 4-pyrrolidinophenylbenzyl ether derivatives.

The processes of the prior art hamper from several drawbacks (e.g. long reaction sequence, low overall yield also due to loss of half of the product in the classical resolution step, the need for a chromatographic purification to remove by-products formed in the Mitsunobu reaction) and are therefore less suitable for the preparation of N-[(3S)-l-[4-[(3-fluorophenyl) methoxy]phenyl]-5-oxo-pyrrolidin-3-yl]acetamide on large scale.

Genzyme Announces Positive New Data from Two Phase 3 Studies for Oral Eliglustat Tartrate for Gaucher Disease

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.
Will WFI from membrane-based technologies now become an alternative for Europe?
DRUG REGULATORY AFFAIRS INTERNATIONAL

In an EDQM paper published in March 2015 the topic production of WFI by means of membrane-based technologies is discussed again and not excluded any more. Read more about WFI from membrane-based technologies.
In an EDQM paper published in Pharmeuropa in March 2015 the topic production of WFI (water for injections) by means of membrane technologies (reverse osmosis coupled with other suitable techniques) is discussed again and not excluded any more. So far distillation is the only permitted procedure for the production of WFI in Europe. It was already pointed out in the paper on the revision of Annex 1 published in February that alternative procedures for the manufacture of WFI might become possible.
The first part of the new document describes the history of the long lasting discussion of the question whether other procedures than distillation should be allowed for the production of WFI. In the end this led to…

Long-term use of AZ’ Brilinta, ticagrelor gets US priority review
An application to use AstraZeneca’s Brilinta to treat patients with a history of heart attack has been placed on a fast track regulatory pathway in the US, meaning that approval could be granted within just six months.
The US Food and Drug Administration has assigned a priority review based on Phase III data showing that Brilinta (ticagrelor), along-side low-dose aspirin, can improve long-term prevention of atherothrombotic cardiovascular events in patients with a history of myocardial infarction. The move signals the regulator’s belief that the drug could offer a benefit over existing approaches.
