Dacinostat, also known as LAQ824, is a hydroxamate histone deacetylase inhibitor with potential anticancer activity. LAQ824 sensitized nonsmall cell lung cancer to the cytotoxic effects of ionizing radiation. LAQ824 reduced clonogenic survival of the H23 and H460 cell lines five-fold compared with controls and four-fold compared with either agent alone (P<0.001). In phase I trials,  LAQ824 was well tolerated at doses that induced accumulation of histone acetylation, with higher doses inducing changes consistent with HSP90 inhibition.
NVP-LAQ824 inhibits histone deacetylase enzymatic activities in vitro and transcriptionally activated the p21 promoter in reporter gene assays. When tested on a variety of solid tumour cell lines, NVP-LAQ824 exhibited selective anti-proliferative effects, inducing cell growth inhibition in some, while inducing cell death in others. To induce cell death, a minimum of 16 h exposure to NVP-LAQ824 is required. Flow cytometry studies revealed that both tumour cell lines and normal diploid fibroblasts arrested in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle after compound treatment. However, an increased sub-G1 population at 48 h (reminiscent of apoptotic cells) was only observed in the cancer cell lines.
Annexin V staining data confirmed that NVP-LAQ824 induced apoptosis in tumour cells, but not in normal cells. To relate HDAC inhibition to the anti-proliferative effects of NVP-LAQ824, expression of HDAC 1 was inhibited using antisense and this was sufficient to activate p21 expression, hypophosphorylate Rb and inhibit cell growth. Furthermore, tumour cells treated with NVP-LAQ824 caused acetylation of HSP90 and degradation of its cargo oncoproteins. Finally, NVP-LAQ824 exhibited antitumour effects in a xenograft animal model.
To determine if NVP-LAQ824 inhibited histone deacetylases in vivo, tumours treated with the drug were immunoblotted with an antibody specific for acetylated histones H3 and H4 and the results indicated increased histone H3 and 114 acetylation levels in NVP-LAQ824 treated cancer cells. Together, our data indicated that the activity of NVP-LAQ824 was consistent with its intended mechanism of action. This novel HDAC inhibitor is currently in clinical trials as an anticancer agent. see: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15171259.

Reversible acetylation of histones is a major regulator of gene expression that acts by altering accessibility of transcription factors to DNA. In normal cells, histone deacetylase (HDA) and histone acetyltrasferase together control the level of acetylation of histones to maintain a balance. Inhibition of HDA results in the accumulation of hyperacetylated histones, which results in a variety of cellular responses.

Inhibitors of HDA have been studied for their therapeutic effects on cancer cells. For example, butyric acid and its derivatives, including sodium phenylbutyrate, have been reported to induce apoptosis in vitro in human colon carcinoma, leukemia and retinoblastoma cell lines. However, butyric acid and its derivatives are not useful pharmacological agents because they tend to be metabolized rapidly and have a very short half-life in vivo. Other inhibitors of HDA that have been widely studied for their anti-cancer activities are trichostatin A and trapoxin. Trichostatin A is an antifungal and antibiotic and is a reversible inhibitor of mammalian HDA. Trapoxin is a cyclic tetrapeptide, which is an irreversible inhibitor of mammalian HDA.

Although trichostatin and trapoxin have been studied for their anti-cancer activities, the in vivo instability of the compounds makes them less suitable as anti-cancer drugs. There remains a need for an active compound that is suitable for treating tumors, including cancerous tumors, that is highly efficacious and stable

Proc Am Assoc Cancer Res 2002,43Abst 3671
The esterification of 4-formylcinnamic acid (I) with methanol and HCl gives the methyl ester (II), which can be obtained by Heck coupling of 4-bromobenzaldehyde (III) with methyl acrylate (IV). The reductocondensation of (II) with tryptamine (V) by means of NaBH(OAc)3 in dichloroethane yields the secondary amine (VI), which is alkylated with 2-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethyl bromide (VII) by means of DIEA in DMSO to afford the tertiary amine (VIII). The reaction of the methyl ester group of (VIII) with KOH and hydroxylamine in methanol provides the silylated hydroxamic acid (IX), which is finally deprotected with TFA in water.

Sitasentan,TBC 11251

N-(4-chloro-3-methyl-1,2-oxazol-5-yl)-2-[2-(6-methyl-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)acetyl]thiophene-3-sulfonamide

Sitaxentan sodium (TBC-11251) is a medication for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).[1] It was marketed as Thelin by Encysive Pharmaceuticals until Pfizer purchased Encysive in February 2008. In 2010, Pfizer voluntarily removed sitaxentan from the market due to concerns about liver toxicity.[2]

Sitaxentan belongs to a class of drugs known as endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs). Patients with PAH have elevated levels of endothelin, a potent blood vessel constrictor, in their plasma and lung tissue. Sitaxentan blocks the binding of endothelin to its receptors, thereby negating endothelin’s deleterious effects.

Mechanism of action

Sitaxentan is a small molecule that blocks the action of endothelin (ET) on the endothelin-A (ETA) receptor selectively (by a factor of 6000 compared to the ETB).[3] It is a sulfonamide class endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA) and is undergoing Food and Drug Administration (FDA) review for treating pulmonary hypertension. The rationale for benefit compared to bosentan, a nonselective ET blocker, is negligible inhibition of the beneficial effects of ETB stimulation, such as nitric oxide production and clearance of ET from circulation. In clinical trials, the efficacy of sitaxentan has been much the same as bosentan, but the hepatotoxicity of sitaxentan outweighs its benefits. Dosing is once daily, as opposed to twice daily for bosentan.

Regulatory status

On December 10, 2010 Pfizer announced it would be withdrawing sitaxentan worldwide (both from marketing and from all clinical study use), citing that it is a cause of fatal liver damage.[2]

Sitaxentan was approved for marketing in the European Union in 2006, in Canada in 2006[4] and in Australia in 2007. By February 2008 it had been launched commercially in Germany, Austria, The Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Spain and Italy.

In March 2006, the FDA recommended an approvable status to sitaxentan but said it would not yet approve the product. In July 2006, sitaxentan received a second approvable letter stating that efficacy outcome issues raised in the context of the STRIDE-2 study were still unresolved. In July 2007, Encysive commenced a formal dispute resolution process in a preliminary meeting with the FDA. In September 2007 the company announced that it was making preparations for another phase III clinical trial (intended to be named STRIDE-5) to overcome the FDA’s concerns.[5] The takeover by Pfizer resulted in a reconfiguration and extension of these plans, to include combination therapy with sildenafil. The Sitaxentan Efficacy and Safety Trial With a Randomized Prospective Assessment of Adding Sildenafil (SR-PAAS) was an ongoing program of three clinical trials conducted in the United States (ClinicalTtrials.gov identifiers: NCT00795639, NCT00796666 and NCT00796510) with anticipated completion dates between June 2010 and January 2014.

Adverse effects

Adverse effects observed with sitaxentan are class effects of endothelin receptor antagonists, and include :

Because sitaxentan inhibits metabolism of warfarin, a decreased dose of warfarin is needed when co-administered with sitaxentan. This is because warfarin acts to prevent blood from clotting, and if it remains unmetabolized, it can continue to thin the blood.

As used herein “sitaxsentan” refers to N-(4-chloro-3-methyl-5-isoxazolyl)-2-[2- methyl-4,5-(methylenedioxy)phenylacetyl]-thiophene-3-sulfonamide. Sitaxsentan is also known as TBCl 1251. Other chemical names for sitaxsentan include 4-chloro-3-methyl-5-(2- (2-(6-methylbenzo[d][l ,3]dioxol-5-yl)acetyl)-3-thienylsulfonamido)isoxazole and N-(4- chloro-3-methyl-5-isoxazolyl)-2-[3,4-(methylenedioxy)-6-methylphenylacetyl]-thiophene-3- sulfonamide.

The chemical name for sitaxsentan is N-(4-chloro-3-methyl-5-isoxazolyl)-2-[2- methyl-4,5-(methylenedioxy)phenylacetyl]-thiophene-3-sulfonamide, and its structural formula is as follows:

Sitaxsentan

Sitaxsentan is a potent endothelin receptor antagonist that has oral bioavailability in several species, a long duration of action, and high specificity for ETA receptors.

EXAMPLE 1

Preparation of 4-chloro-3-methyl-5-(2-(2-(6-methylbenzo[d] [l,3|dioxol-5-yl)aeetyl)-3- thienylsulfonamido)isoxazole, or N-(4-chloro-3-methyl-5-isoxazolyl)-2-[2-methy 1-4,5- (methylenedioxy)phenylacetyl]-thiophene-3-sulfonamide, or N-(4-chIoro-3-methyl-5- isoxazolyl)-2-[3,4-(methylenedioxy)-6-methylphenylacetyl]-thiophene-3-sulfonamide.

A. Preparation of (4-chIoro-3-methyl-5-(2-(2-(6-methylbenzo[d] [l,3]dioxol-5-yl)acetyl)- 3-thienylsuIfonamido)isoxazole 1. Preparation of 5-chloromethyI-6-methylbenzo[d][l,3]dioxole

To a mixture of methylene chloride (130 L), concentrated HCl (130 L), and tetrabuylammonium bromide (1.61 Kg) was added 5-methylbenzo[d][l,3]dioxole (10 Kg) followed by the slow addition of formaldehyde (14 L, 37 wt% in water). The mixture was stirred overnight. The organic layer was separated, dried with magnesium sulfate and concentrated to an oil. Hexane (180 L) was added and the mixture heated to boiling. The hot hexane solution was decanted from a heavy oily residue and evaporated to give almost pure 5-chloromethyl-6-methylbenzo[d][l,3]dioxole as a white solid. Recrystallization from hexane (50 L) gave 5-chloromethyl-6-methylbenzo[d][l,3]dioxole (80% recovery after recrystallization). 2. Formation of (4-chloro-3-methyl-5-(2-(2-(2-methyIbenzo[d][l,3]dioxol-5-yl) acetyl)-3-thienylsulfonamido)isoxazole

A portion of a solution of 5-chloromemyl-6-methylbenzo[d][l,3]di-oxole (16.8 g, 0.09 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (THF)(120 mL) was added to a well stirred slurry of magnesium powder, (3.3 g, 0.136 g-atom, Alfa, or Johnson-Mathey, -20 +100 mesh) in THF (120 mL) at room temperature. The resulting reaction admixture was warmed up to about 40-450C for about 2-3 min, causing the reaction to start. Once the heating activated the magnesium, and the reaction began, the mixture was cooled and maintained at a temperature below about 8 0C. The magnesium can be activated with dibromoethane in place of heat.

A flask containing the reaction mixture was cooled and the remaining solution of 5- chloromethlybenzo[d][l,3]dioxole added dropwise during 1.5 hours while maintaining an internal temperature below 8 0C. Temperature control is important: if the Grignard is generated and kept below 8 0C5 Wurtz coupling is suppressed. Longer times at higher temperatures promote the Wurtz coupling pathway. Wurtz coupling can be avoided by using high quality Mg and by keeping the temperature of the Grignard below about 8 0C and stirring vigorously. The reaction works fine at -20 0C, so any temperature below 8 0C is acceptable at which the Grignard will form. The color of the reaction mixture turns greenish.

The reaction mixture was stirred for an additional 5 min at 0 0C, while N2-methoxy- N2-methyl-3-(4-chloro-3-methyl-5-isoazolylsulfamoyl)-2-thiophenecarboxamide (6.6 g, 0.018 mol) in anhydrous THF (90 mL) was charged into the addition funnel. The reaction mixture was degassed two times then the solution of N2-methoxy-N2-methyl-3-(4-chloro-3- methyl-5-isoxazolylsulfamoyl)-2-thiophenecarboxamide was added at 0 0C over 5 min. TLC of the reaction mixture (Silica, 12% MeOHZCH2Cl2) taken immediately after the addition shows no N2-methoxy-N2-methyl-3-(4-chloro-3-methyl-5-isoxazolysulfamoyl)-2-thio- phenecarboxamide. The reaction mixture was transferred into a flask containing IN HCl (400 mL, 0.4 mol

HCl, ice-bath stirred), and the mixture stirred for 2 to 4 min, transferred into a separatory funnel and diluted with ethyl acetate (300 mL). The layers were separated after shaking. The water layer was extracted with additional ethyl acetate (150 mL) and the combined organics washed with half-brine. Following separation, THF was removed by drying the organic layer over sodium sulfate and concentrating under reduced pressure at about 39 0C to obtain the title compound. EXAMPLE 2

1.0 g Sitaxentan was dissolved in 10 ml ethyl acetate and 5 ml hexanes were added. The formed suspension was heated until a clear solution was obtained. Upon cooling light yellow plates were formed. After filtration and drying under vacuum 515 mg of sitaxentan polymorph A was obtained as light yellow plates in very high purity.

EXAMPLE 3

Preparation of 4-chloro-3-methyl-5-(2-(2-(6-methyIbenzo[dJ [l,3]dioxol-5-yl)acetyl)-3- thienylsulfonamido)isoxazole, Sodium Salt

The crystalline sitaxsentan from Example 2 is dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed with saturated NaHCO3 (5 x 10 mL). The solution is washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to obtain a solid residue. 10 mL OfCH2Cl2 is added and the mixture is stirred under nitrogen for 5 to 10 minutes. Ether (15 mL) is added and the mixture stirred for about 10 min. The product is isolated by filtration, washed with a mixture of CH2Cl2 /ether (1 :2) (10 mL) then with ether (10 mL) and dried under reduced pressure to obtain 4-Chloro-3-methyl-5-(2-(2-(6-methyIbenzo[d][l ,3]dioxol-5-yl)acetyl)-3- thienylsulfonamido)isoxazole, sodium salt.

Atrasentan is an experimental drug that is being studied for the treatment of various types of cancer,[1] including non-small cell lung cancer.[2] It is also being investigated as a therapy for diabetic kidney disease.

Atrasentan failed a phase 3 trial for prostate cancer in patients unresponsive to hormone therapy.[3] A second trial confirmed this finding.[4]

It is an endothelin receptor antagonist selective for subtype A (ETA). While other drugs of this type (sitaxentan, ambrisentan) exploit the vasoconstrictive properties of endothelin and are mainly used for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension, atrasentan blocks endothelin induced cell proliferation.

In April 2014, de Zeeuw et al. showed that 0.5 mg and 1.25 mg of atrasentan reduced urinary albumin by 35 and 38% respectively with modest side effects. Patients also had decreased home blood pressures (but no change in office readings) decrease total cholesterol and LDL. Patients in the 1.25 mg dose group had increased weight gain which was presumably due to increased edema and had to withdraw from the study more than the placebo or 0.5 mg dose group.[5] Reductions in proteinuria have been associated with beneficial patient outcomes in diabetic kidney disease with other interventions but is not an accepted end-point by the FDA.

The recently initiated SONAR trial[6] will determine if atrasentan reduces kidney failure in diabetic kidney disease.

Useful for treating nephropathy and chronic kidney disease associated with Type II diabetes. For a prior filing see WO2015006219 , claiming the stable solid composition in the form of a tablet comprising atrasentan and an anti-oxidant. AbbVie (following its spin-out from Abbott), is developing atrasentan (phase III; February 2015) for treating chronic kidney disease, including diabetic nephropathy.

The Michael reaction between 3,4-(methylenedioxy)-beta-nitrostyrene (I) and ethyl (4-methoxybenzoyl)acetate (II) in the presence of DBU gave adduct (III) as a mixture of isomers. Hydrogenation of this nitro ketone over Raney-Ni afforded, after spontaneous cyclization of the resulting amino ketone, the pyrroline (IV). Further reduction of the imine with NaBH3CN yielded a mixture of three pyrrolidine isomers. The desired trans-trans isomer (VI) could not be separated from the cis-trans isomer by column chromatography. However, the pure cis-cis compound (V) was isomerized to (VI) with NaOEt in refluxing EtOH. The protection of the amine as the tert-butyl carbamate with Boc2O, and saponification of the ester function provided the racemic acid (VII). Resolution of (VII) was achieved by conversion to the mixed anhydride (VIII) with pivaloyl chloride, followed by condensation with the lithium salt of (S)-4-benzyl-2-oxazolidinone (IX), and chromatographic separation of the resulting diastereomeric imides. Alternatively, racemic (VII) could be resolved by crystallization of its salt with (R)-a-methylbenzylamine. Removal of the Boc group from the appropriate isomer (X) with HCl in dioxan, followed by alkylation with N,N-dibutylbromoacetamide (XI) in the presence of i-Pr2NEt furnished the pyrrolidinylacetamide (XII). Finally, hydrolysis of the imide with lithium hydroperoxide provided the target acid.

Cyclization of 5-(2-nitrovinyl)-1,3-benzodioxole (I) with ethyl 2-(4-methoxybenzoyl)acetate (II) by means of DBU in THF gives the 4-nitrobutyrate (III), which is reduced with H2 over Ni in ethanol to the corresponding amine, which undergoes immediate cyclization to give the pyrroline carboxylate (IV). Reduction of pyrroline (IV) with NaCNBH3 in THF affords the expected pyrrolidine as a mixture of the (trans,trans)-(V), (cis,cis)-(VI) and (cis,trans)-(VII) isomers. Using chromatography on silica gel, only the (cis,cis)-isomer (VI) is separated and completely isomerized to the (trans,trans)-isomer (V) by treatment with NaOEt in refluxing ethanol. Pure (trans,trans)-isomer (V) or the remaining mixture of (trans,trans)-(V) and (cis,trans)-(VII) is N-protected with Boc2O in dichloromethane to provide a mixture of carbamates. Then hydrolysis of the esters is performed with NaOH in ethanol/water at room temperature, and under these conditions only the (trans,trans)-isomer hydrolyzes, giving the racemic (trans,trans)-acid (VIII). Unreacted (cis,trans)-ester (VII) is easily removed by conventional methods. Condensation of the racemic acid (VIII) with the lithium salt of the chiral oxazolidinone (IX) by means of pivaloyl chloride yields the corresponding amide as a diastereomeric mixture of (X) and (XI) that are separated by chromatography. The desired isomer (XI) is deprotected with HCl in dioxane to afford the chiral pyrrolidine (XII), which is condensed with 2-bromo-N,N-dibutylacetamide (XIII) by means of diisopropylamine in acetonitrile to give the adduct (XIV). Finally, the chiral auxiliary of (XIV) is eliminated by means of LiOOH (LiOH + H2O2) in water.

Condensation of 1,3-benzodioxole-5-carbaldehyde (XV) with nitromethane by means of ammonium acetate in HOAc gives the nitrostyrene (I), which is condensed with ethyl 2-(4-methoxybenzoyl)acetate (II) [obtained by reaction of acetophenone (XVI), diethyl carbonate and potassium tert-amyloxide] by means of NaOEt in THF to yield the 4-nitrobutyrate (III). Reductive cyclization of (III) with H2 over Raney-Ni in THF affords the (cis, cis)-pyrrolidine (VI), which is isomerized to the (trans,trans)-isomer (V) by means of NaOEt in refluxing ethanol. This racemic ester (V) is submitted to optical resolution with (S)-(+)-mandelic acid to provide the pure chiral ester (XVII). This compound is condensed with 2-bromo-N,N-dibutylacetamide (XIII) [obtained by reaction of 2-bromoacetyl bromide (XVIII) with dibutylamine (XIX) in toluene] by means of DIEA in acetonitrile to give the ethyl ester (XX), which is finally hydrolyzed with NaOH in hot ethanol.

Condensation of ketoester (I) with nitrovinyl benzodioxole (II) in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene gave adduct (III). Hydrogenation of the nitro group of (III) over Raney Nickel with concomitant cyclization yielded dihydropyrrole (IV). Further reduction of (IV) with sodium cyanoborohydride provided a mixture of diastereomeric pyrrolidines. Chromatographic separation removed the cis,cis isomer, affording a mixture of trans,trans and cis,trans products (V). N-Alkylation of the pyrrolidine (V) with N,N-dibutyl bromoacetamide (VI) furnished (VIIa-b). Finally, selective hydrolysis of the ester group from the trans,trans isomer produced a mixture of cis,trans ester (VIII) and the target trans,trans acid, which were readily separated by fractional extraction.

Reaction of 2-(1,3-dioxol-5-yl)acetic acid (XXI) with pivaloyl chloride and TEA gives the corresponding anhydride (XXII), which is condensed with the chiral oxazolidinone (XXIII) by means of n-BuLi in THF to yield the amide (XXIV). Condensation of (XXIV) with 2-bromoacetic acid tert-butyl ester (XXV) by means of NaHMDS in THF affords the adduct (XXVI). Elimination of the chiral auxiliary of (XXVI) by means of LiOOH in THF/water provides the chiral succinic acid hemiester (XXVII) (93% ee), which is selectively reduced with BH3璗HF complex to give the 4-hydroxysuccinate (XXVIII). Reaction of succinate (XXVIII) with 4-chlorophenylsulfonyl chloride, TEA and DMAP in dichloromethane yields the sulfonate (XXIX), which is condensed with 4-methoxybenzaldoxime (XXX) by means of Cs2CO3 in hot acetonitrile to afford the oxime ether (XXXI). Transesterification of the tert-butyl ester of (XXXI) with trimethyl orthoformate and p-toluenesulfonic acid in hot methanol provides the methyl ester (XXXII), which is cyclized by means of trimethylsilyl triflate and tributylamine in dichloroethane to afford a 9:1 diastereomeric mixture of perhydro-1,2-oxazines (XXXIII) and (XXXIV) which is easily separated. The reductive N-O-bond cleavage of the major oxazine diastereomer (XXXIII) by means of Zn/HOAc or H2 over Pd/C gives the trisubstituted 4-aminobutanol (XXXV), which is cyclized by means of CBr4, PPh3 and TEA to yield chiral pyrrolidine (XXXVI) (4). Finally, pyrrolidine (XXXVI) is alkylated with N,N-dibutyl-2-bromoacetamide (XIII) followed by ester hydrolysis as before.

New TB Drug Enters Trials Neglected Diseases: Milestone comes despite waning pharma interest

New TB Drug Enters Trials

Neglected Diseases: Milestone comes despite waning pharma interest

Issue Date: February 23, 2015 | Web Date: February 19, 2015

For the first time in six years, a new tuberculosis drug candidate has entered human clinical trials. Supported by the nonprofit Global Alliance for TB Drug Development, Phase I testing of TBA-354 began on Feb. 19.

TBA-354 is a nitroimidazole, a class of drugs effective against drug-resistant TB. The compound arose from a collaboration among the TB Alliance and researchers at New Zealand’s University of Auckland and the University of Illinois, Chicago, to find a next-generation nitroimidazole with more potent bactericidal activity and more favorable pharmacokinetic properties

TBA-354 is a potent anti-tuberculosis compound; maintains activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv isogenic monoresistant strains and clinical drug-sensitive and drug-resistant isolates.

TBA-354

Nitroimidazoles represent a promising new class of anti-tubercular agents with potential for the treatment of drug sensitive and drug resistant disease. Two first generation compounds (PA-824 and OPC67683) are currently in clinical development. To maximize the potential of this class for tuberculosis (TB), we conducted a medicinal chemistry program to identify a next generation nitroimidazole. Ultimately, we selected TBA-354 [(S)-2-nitro-6-((6-(4-trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)pyridine-3-yl)methoxy)-6,7-dihydro-5H-imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]oxazine] for in-depth profiling and preclinical development.
TBA-354 is more potent than PA-824 against M. tuberculosis in vitro, and against acute and established murine TB. This potency advantage is maintained on dosing as monotherapy in the initial and continuation phases of treatment, and when administered in combination with moxifloxacin and pyrazinamide. TBA-354 possesses a favorable pharmacokinetic (PK) profile with good oral bioavailability and excellent exposures in preclinical species. Due to these combined advantages, predicted clinically therapeutic doses are once daily and low, differentiating TBA-354 as a next generation anti-tubercular nitroimidazole.

TBA-354 was discovered by the TB Alliance in partnership with the University of Auckland and the University of Illinois at Chicago. The TB Alliance is a not-for-profit product development partnership (PDP) that operates like a biopharmaceutical company. The medicinal chemistry that led to discovery of TBA-354 was conducted at the Auckland Society for Cancer Research Center at University of Auckland and the biology was conducted at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Further in-depth profiling of the compound was led by the TB Alliance in collaboration with Johns Hopkins University, University of Illinois at Chicago and RTI International. Financial support for this project was provided by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and UK Aid. The work was presented at ICAAC 2012 in San Francisco on Sept 10th 2012.

TBA-354’s excellent efficacy and pharmacokinetic profile make it a promising candidate to deliver superior bactericidal results from a small daily pill. The evidence of TBA-354’s effectiveness was found in animal models of TB, which, while often predictive, have their limitations. Clinical trials are needed to evaluate TBA-354’s effectiveness against TB in patients. Before proceeding to clinical trials, the safety and tolerability of TBA-354 must be evaluated; these toxicology and safety pharmacology studies are underway and will provide more information concerning the potential of this compound.

One of the major challenges of TB treatment, as well as drivers of drug-resistance remains the length and complexity of current treatment. Defeating the TB pandemic will require new drugs that shorten and simplify treatment. Given the disproportionate skew of the TB burden in the developing world, all new TB treatments must also be inexpensive enough to facilitate scale-up. As the most potent anti-tubercular nitroimidazole under development to date, TBA-354 offers great promise in many ways. Its potency may enable the reduction of length, cost, and side-effects of TB treatment. It is compatible with commonly used AIDS medications in ways that some currently used TB treatments are not. Further, nitroimadzoles have already proven combinable with other experimental TB drugs to form novel treatments regimens with the potential to cure both drug-sensitive and MDR-TB.

TBA-354 belongs to the nitroimadazole class. Other drugs from this class have exhibited promising activity against TB bacteria in the lab and in clinical trials — two of the most advanced new TB drug candidates (PA-824and delamanid) belong to this class. Having shown greater potency compared to PA-824 and an improved pharmacokinetic profile compared to delamanid, along with other promising properties, TBA-354 offers the potential to shorten and simplify TB treatment further than therapies currently under clinical development. Its increased potency against TB could also reduce the cost, pill size, frequency and/or side effects of treatment with a nitroimidazole by achieving comparable efficacy with less drug amount. Importantly, because it belongs to a novel class of drugs, TBA-354 projects to be effective in treating both drug-sensitive and drug-resistant TB.

TBA-354 emerged from studies designed to identify a next generation nitroimidazole for TB

• It is the first new TB drug candidate to begin a Phase 1 clinical trial since 2009

• 1.5 million people die each year from TB, and more than nine million were diagnosed with the disease

FEB 2015 NEW YORK — The Global Alliance for TB Drug Development (TB Alliance) has commenced the first human trial of a new tuberculosis (TB) drug candidate, designated TBA-354, the not for profit organization announced Wednesday..

It is the first new TB drug candidate to begin a Phase 1 clinical trial since 2009.

The World Health Organization reported that 1.5 million people die each year from TB, and more than nine million were diagnosed with the disease. The lack of short, simple, and effective treatments is a significant obstacle to TB control.

Owing to lack of economic incentive to develop new tools, there are not enough promising drugs in the pipeline, which could hinder efforts to develop the appropriate treatments needed to combat the TB epidemic.

“There is a critical gap of new compounds for TB,” said Mel Spigelman, MD, President and CEO of TB Alliance.

“The advancement of TBA-354 into clinical testing is a major milestone, not only because of the potential it shows for improving TB treatment, but because it is the first new TB drug candidate to begin a Phase 1 clinical trial in six years.”

TBA-354 emerged from studies designed to identify a next generation nitroimidazole for TB. It comes from the nitroimidazole class of chemicals, known for being effective against drug-sensitive and drug-resistant tuberculosis.

The class also includes the experimental TB drug pretomanid (formerly PA-824), which is being tested as a component of other novel regimens in multiple clinical trials.

TB Alliance conducted the studies in collaboration with the University of Auckland and University of Illinois-Chicago. Once identified, TB Alliance further advanced TBA-354 through pre-clinical development and is now the sponsor of the Phase 1 study

“Our chemistry team has worked on this since 2006 when the TB Alliance approached us to help with this project,” said Professor Bill Denny, director of the Auckland Cancer Society Research Centre and a Principal Investigator of the Maurice Wilkins Centre at the University of Auckland. “We made several hundred compounds, from which TBA-354 was selected for clinical development in 2011.”

“It’s very pleasing for us to see this drug go all the way through to Phase one clinical trial. It’s a validation of our work designing this compound to create a new and improved drug for the treatment of tuberculosis,” stated Denny in a statement.

In preclinical studies, TBA-354 demonstrated more potent anti-bactericidal and sterilizing activity compared to pretomanid. Recruitment is under way to enroll nearly 50 U.S. volunteers for the randomized, double-blind Phase 1 trial, which will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and dosing of TBA-354.

In late 2012 a promising New Zealand compound targeting treatment-resistant tuberculosis (TB) was selected as a drug candidate by international non-profit drug developer the Global Alliance for TB Drug Development (TB Alliance).

New drug candidate TBA-354 was designed by scientists from the Auckland Cancer Society Research Centre (ACSRC) and Maurice Wilkins Centre in partnership with the TB Alliance and University of Illinois at Chicago. The TB Alliance expects to complete preclinical studies by early 2013, and then seek permission from the US Food and Drug Administration to begin human trials.

TB is second only to HIV/AIDS as the greatest infectious killer worldwide. While most cases and deaths occur in low and middle income countries, it is a major health concern in the Asia-Pacific region. Treatment regimens are complex, lengthy and challenging to follow and the disease is developing resistance to current antibiotics. If a new drug proves more effective than current treatments it may reduce the duration, cost and side effects of treatment.

Laboratory studies to date have been very promising, with TBA-354 proving much more potent and broad-spectrum than PA-824, the first-generation compound it was designed to improve upon. TBA-354 and PA-824 are members of the first new class of drugs developed for TB in nearly fifty years and the first designed to attack the persistent form.

the TB Alliance contracted the New Zealand scientists to develop second-generation compounds to overcome some of its known limitations. The New Zealanders optimised each part of the drug, and in the process developed a new method of synthesis that will simplify and reduce the cost of producing drugs of this class.

“TBA-354 is an improved, second-generation version of PA-824,” says Professor Bill Denny,
ACSRC Co-Director and a Maurice Wilkins Centre principal investigator. “It is much more
potent than PA-824, longer lasting, and has greater activity against resistant strains. Recent
trials show that PA-824 can dramatically shorten the treatment period for TB, and it’s
encouraging that in TBA-354 we have a compound that is clearly superior to it.”

“This has been an excellent and productive international collaboration, across groups with
different skills, where we have learned much that we can apply in future,” says Associate
Professor Brian Palmer of the ACSRC and Maurice Wilkins Centre, who led the project’s
chemistry team of Drs Adrian Blaser, Iveta Kmentova, Hamish Sutherland and Andrew
Thompson.

“New Zealand has an outstanding reputation in drug discovery and it’s exciting to see the
ACSRC’s expertise in cancer drug development being applied to the fight against one of
the most devastating infectious diseases in the world,” says Centre Director Professor
Rod Dunbar.
