Women suffering from advanced relapsed BRCA-mutated ovarian cancer could gain access to a new treatment option after European regulators waved through AstraZeneca’s Lynparza (olaparib).

The European Commission has approved the first-in-class PARP inhibitor for the maintenance treatment of adults with platinum-sensitive relapsed BRCA-mutated high-grade serous epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer, who are in complete response or partial response to platinum-based chemotherapy.

Olaparib (AZD-2281, trade name Lynparza) is an experimental chemotherapeutic agent, developed by KuDOS Pharmaceuticalsand later by AstraZeneca, that is currently undergoing clinical trials. It is an inhibitor of poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP), an enzyme involved in DNA repair.[1] It acts against cancers in people with hereditary BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations, which includes many ovarian, breast and prostate cancers.

Olaparib is an oral poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) enzyme inhibitor developed by AstraZeneca. The product is awaiting registration in the E.U. and US as a maintenance treatment of patients with BRCA mutated platinum-sensitive relapsed serous ovarian cancer. In 2014, positive opinion was received in the E.U. recommending Lynparza approval for the maintanance treatment of BRCA mutated platinum-sensitive relapsed serous ovarian cancer.

An oral poly (ADP ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor being investigated by British drug company AstraZeneca, is seeking approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of BRCA mutated platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer. AstraZeneca filed the US regulatory submission for olaparib in February 2014.  Olaparib, one of several cancer drugs AstraZeneca flagged as having strong potential in its defense of a $118 billion take-over bid by Pfizer,was accepted for priority review on April 30, 2014  by the U.S.  Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The NDA filing was based on Phase II study 19 data, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase II study.

On June 25, 2014, FDA Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee (ODAC), an advisory panel to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA),  voted 11 to two against the accelerated approval of the PARP inhibitor olaparib as a maintenance therapy for women with platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer who have the germline BRCA (gBRCA) mutation, and who are in complete or partial response to platinum-based chemotherapy. By voting no, the committee recommended waiting for results from the larger confirmatory phase III SOLO-2 trial, which began enrolling in September 2013. According to clincialtrials.gov, the SOLO-2 study (NCT01874353) is slated to wrap in July 2015.

In terms of clinical development, phase III trials are ongoing at AstraZeneca for the treatment of gastric cancer and metastatic breast cancer. Olaparib is also in phase II clinical studies for several indications, including breast cancer, pancreatic cancer and castration-resistant prostate cancer. In March 2014, a phase II was also initiated in GB for the treatment of patients with stage IIIB or stage IV NSCLC that is not amenable to curative therapy. A phase I clinical trial for the treatment of melanoma has been completed. Phase II clinical trials are ongoing at General Hospital Corp. for the treatment of sarcoma. The drug had been in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of colorectal cancer; however no recent developments have been reported.

Discovered by KuDOS Pharmaceuticals, has experienced several twists and turns during its clinical development. Promising results for the drug were reported at the 2011 ASCO Annual Meeting, based on impressive early phase II results, only to have clinical development discontinued later that year after disappointing phase II trial results in a more generalized group of ovarian cancer patients. However, a re-analysis of the data in BRCA-positive patients – coupled with a reformulation of the drug – convinced the British drugmaker to think again and keep it going. AstraZeneca initiates Phase III clinical studies (SOLO 1 and SOLO 2) for olaparib in the U.S. in September 2013. AstraZeneca has filed Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) for olaparib in EU in September 2013 based on Phase II study 19 data. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has already granted olaparib orphan drug status for ovarian cancer and will hold an advisory panel hearing on the company’s application on June 25, 2014.

In 2013, orphan drug designation in the U.S. was assigned to the compound for the treatment of ovarian cancer. The compound was originally developed by Kudos Pharmaceuticals, which was acquired by AstraZeneca in 2006.

Early Phase I trials were promising, and olaparib underwent Phase II trials. However, in December 2011, AstraZeneca announced following interim analysis of a phase-II study which indicated that the previously reported progression free survival benefit was unlikely to translate into an overall survival benefit, that it would not progress into Phase III development for the maintenance treatment of serous ovarian cancer,[2] and took a charge of $285 million. The decision to discontinue development of the drug was reversed in 2013,[3] with AstraZeneca posting a new Phase III trial of Olaparib for patients with BRCA mutated ovarian cancer in April 2013.[4]

Mechanism of action

Olaparib acts as an inhibitor of the enzyme Poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) and is one of the first PARP inhibitors. Patients with BRCA1/2 mutations may be genetically predisposed to developing some forms of cancer, and are often resistant to other forms of cancer treatment, but this also sometimes gives their cancers a unique vulnerability, as the cancer cells have increased reliance on PARP to repair their DNA and enable them to continue dividing. This means that drugs which selectively inhibit PARP may be of significant benefit in patients whose cancers are susceptible to this treatment.[5][6][7][8][9][10]

Trial results

Phase I clinical trials, in patients with BRCA-mutated tumors including ovarian cancer, were encouraging.[11] In one of these studies, it was given to 19 patients with inherited forms of advanced breast, ovarian and prostate cancers caused by mutations of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. In 12 of the patients, none of whom had responded to other therapies, tumours shrank or stabilised.[12] One of the first patients to be given the treatment (who had castration-resistant prostate cancer) was as of July 2009 still in remission after two years.

In 2009 Phase II clinical trials examining the efficacy of Olaparib in treating breast, ovarian and colorectal cancer were initiated.[13][14] A phase II trial that included 63 cases of ovarian cancer concluded that olaparib is promising for women with ovarian cancer. [7 responses in 17 patients with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations and 11 responses in the 46 who did not have these mutations.][15]

Side effects

Olaparib is generally well tolerated, the side effects consist mainly of fatigue, somnolence, nausea, loss of appetite and thrombocytopenia.

Figure imgf000046_0001

A mixture of 27% sodium methoxide solution in methanol (400 g, 2 mol) and methanol (150 ml) was added dropwise between ambient temperature and 30°C over 15 minutes to a stirred mixture of phthalide (67 g, 0.5 mol), 3-formylbenzonitrile (65.5 g, 0.5 mol) and ethyl propionate (250 ml) , the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 40 minutes and at reflux temperature for 1 hour, then it was allowed to cool to ambient temperature. The resulting red solid was collected by filtration, washed with ethyl acetate (2 x 50 ml) and dissolved in water (1800 ml) . The solution was acidified by the addition of acetic acid (60 ml) and the resulting red solid was collected by filtration, washed with water (2 x 200 ml) and dried in vacuo to give 3- (1,3- dioxoindan-2-yl) benzonitrile (83.2 g) as a dark red solid, m.pt. 179- 182°C, m/z (M+H)+‘ 248, which was used without further purification.

3- (1, 3-Dioxoindan-2-yl) benzonitrile (74.18 g, 0.3 mol) was added in portions to a solution of sodium hydroxide (36 g, 0.9 mol) in water (580 ml), the resulting dark red suspension was stirred at reflux temperature for 5 hours, then it was cooled to ambient temperature and washed with ethyl acetate (3 x 300 ml) . The aqueous solution was acidified by the dropwise addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid (110 ml), the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 1 hour, then the resulting solid was collected by filtration, washed with water (2 x 200 ml) and dried in vacuo to give a 1:1 mixture of 3- (1,3- dioxoindan-2-yl)benzoic acid, (M+H)+” 267, and 2- [2- (3- carboxyphenyl) acetyl] benzoic acid, (M+H)+‘ 285, (69.32 g) , which was used without further purification.

The mixture obtained in the previous step (52.8 g) was added to a solution of triethylamine (37.55 g, 0.372 mol) in industrial methylated spirit (500 ml) and the resulting cloudy solution was filtered through a pad of filter-aid to give a clear solution. Hydrazine monohydrate (9.3 g, 0.186 mol) was added in one portion at ambient temperature, the stirred mixture was heated under reflux for 1 hour, then it was concentrated in vacuo to approximately 250 ml and added to a solution of sodium acetate (41 g, 0.5 mol) in water (500 ml) . The mixture was brought to pH 7 by the dropwise addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid, then it was stirred at ambient temperature for 3 hours. The resulting solid was collected by filtration, washed with water (50 ml) and dried in va cuo to give a white solid (15.62 g) . The combined filtrate and washings were acidified to pH 6 by the addition of hydrochloric acid, then the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 3 hours. The resulting solid was collected by filtration, washed with water (50 ml) and dried in va cuo to give a second crop of off-white solid (17.57 g) . The combined filtrate and washings from the second crop were readjusted to pH 6 and treated as before to give a third crop of pale orange solid (6.66 g) . The three crops were combined to give essentially pure 3- (4-oxo-3, 4-dihydrophthalazin-l-ylmethyl) benzoic acid (A), (M+H)+‘ 281, δH 4.4 (2H, s), 7.2-7.4 (IH, m) , 7.5-7.6 (IH, ) , 7.7-8.0 (5H, m) , 8.1- 8.2 (IH, m) , 12.6 (IH, s)

Methods

Preparative HPLC

Samples were purified with a Waters mass-directed purification system utilising a Waters 600 LC pump, Waters Xterra C18 column (5 μm 19 mm×50 mm) and Micromass ZQ mass spectrometer, operating in positive ion electrospray ionisation mode. Mobile phases A (0.1% formic acid in water) and B (0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile) were used in a gradient; 5% B to 100% over 7 min, held for 3 min, at a flow rate of 20 ml/min.

Analytical HPLC-MS

Analytical HPLC was carried out with a Spectra System P4000 pump and Jones Genesis C18 column (4 μm, 50 mm×4.6 mm). Mobile phases A (0.1% formic acid in water) and B (acetonitrile) were used in a gradient of 5% B for 1 min rising to 98% B after 5 min, held for 3 min at a flow rate of 2 ml/min. Detection was by a TSP UV 6000LP detector at 254 nm UV and range 210-600 nm PDA. The Mass spectrometer was a Finnigan LCQ operating in positive ion electrospray mode.

(a) 4-[2-Fluoro-5-(4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-phthalazin-1-ylmethyl)-benzoyl]-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (C)

To a stirred solution of the starting material D (850 g) in dimethylacetamide (DMA) (3561 ml) at room temperature under nitrogen was added HBTU (2-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate) (1402 g) in one portion. Hünig’s base (iPr2NEt, 1096 ml) was then added with the temperature kept between 15 to 25° C. followed by a solution of 1-Boc-piperazine (637 g) in DMA (1428 ml) with the temperature kept between 15 to 25° C.

The solution was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours and sampled for completion (HPLC). Upon completion the solution was added to vigorously stirred water (17085 ml) with the temperature kept between 15 to 25° C. and the solid filtered off, washing with water (2×7131 ml), hexane (2×7131 ml) and methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) (2×3561 ml). The solid was then dried overnight and then sampled for water content and chemical purity.

This reaction was then repeated, see table:

Purity Water Content
Batch Yield (g) (HPLC Area %) (K.F.) Corrected yield
1 1571.3 86.80 24.3 1032.5 g (78%)
2 2781.6 85.00 40.3 1411.5 g (106%)
a. Greater than 100% yield attributed to non-representative sampling

(b) 4-[4-Fluoro-3-(piperazine-1-carbonyl)-benzyl]-2H-phthalazin-1-one (B)

To a stirred solution of industrial methylated spirits (IMS) (2200 ml) and concentrated HCl (4400 ml) was added compound C (2780.2 g) in portions at room temperature under nitrogen, the foaming was controlled by the addition rate. The solution was then stirred at 15 to 25° C. for 30 minutes and sampled for completion (HPLC).

Upon completion the solution was evaporated to remove any IMS and the aqueous extracted with CH2Cl2 (2×3500 ml) before the pH was adjusted to >8 using concentrated ammonia. The resultant slurry was then diluted with water (10000 ml) and extracted with CH2Cl2 (4×3500 ml), washed with water (2×2000 ml), dried over MgSO4 (250 g) and evaporated. The crude product was then slurried in CH2Cl2 (3500 ml) and added to MTBE (5000 ml). The resultant suspension was filtered and dried at 50° C. overnight yielding 611.0 g (58.5% yield) of material with a purity of 94.12%

(c) 4-[3-(4-Cyclopropanecarbonyl-piperazine-1-carbonyl)-4-fluoro-benzyl]-2H-phthalazin-1-one (A)

To a stirred suspension of compound B (1290 g) in CH2Cl2 (15480 ml) under nitrogen was added a pre-mixed solution of triethylamine (470 ml) and cyclopropane carbonyl chloride (306 ml) in CH2Cl2 (1290 ml) dropwise with the temperature kept below 20° C. The solution was then stirred at 10-15° C. for 15 minutes and sampled for completion. The reaction mixture was found to contain only 1.18% of starting material B and so the reaction was deemed complete and the batch was then worked-up.

The reaction mixture was washed with water (7595 ml), 5% citric acid solution (7595 ml), 5% sodium carbonate solution (7595 ml) and water (7595 ml). The organic layer was then dried over magnesium sulfate (500 g).

The CH2Cl2 containing product layer was then isolated, filtered through Celite and charged to a 251 vessel. CH2Cl2 (8445 ml) was then distilled out at atmospheric pressure and ethanol (10000 ml) added. Distillation was then continued with every 4000 ml of distillate that was removed being replaced with ethanol (4000 ml) until the head temperature reached 73.7° C. The reaction volume was then reduced (to 7730 ml) by which time the head temperature had reached 78.9° C. and the solution was allowed to cool to 8° C. overnight. The solid was then filtered off, washed with ethanol (1290 ml) and dried at 70° C. overnight. Yield=1377.3 g (90%). HPLC purity (99.34% [area %]). Contained 4.93% ethanol and 0.45% CH2Cl2 by GC.

(d) Water Treatment of Compound A

A suspension of compound A (1377.0 g), as produced by the method of Example 1, in water (13770 ml) was heated to reflux for 4 hours, cooled to room temperature and filtered. The solid was washed with water (2754 ml) and dried at 70° C. overnight. Yield=1274.8 g (92.6%). HPLC purity (99.49% [area %]). Contained 0.01% ethanol and 0.01% CH2Cl2 by GC.

1H NMR spectrum of compound A (DMSO-d6) following the water treatment is shown in FIG. 1.

The powder XRD pattern of Compound A following the water treatment is shown in FIG. 2, which shows the compound is as Form A.

Biological Activity
Description Olaparib (AZD2281, KU0059436) is a selective inhibitor of PARP1 and PARP2 with IC50 of 5 nM and 1 nM, respectively.
Targets PARP1 PARP2
IC50 5 nM 1 nM [1]
In Vitro Olaparib would act against BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations. AZD2281 is not sensitive to tankyrase-1 (IC50 >1 μM). Olaparib could ablate the PARP-1 activity at concentrations of 30-100 nM in SW620 cells. Olaparib is hypersensitive to BRCA1-deficient cell lines (MDA-MB-463 and HCC1937), compared with BRCA1- and BRCA2-proficient cell lines (Hs578T, MDA-MB-231, and T47D). [1] Olaparib is strongly sensitive to KB2P cells due to suppression of base excision repair by PARP inhibition, which may result in the conversion of single-strand breaks to double-strand breaks during DNA replication, thus activating BRCA2-dependent recombination pathways. [2]
In Vivo Combining with temozolomide, Olaparib (10 mg/kg, p.o.) significantly suppresses tumor growth in SW620 xenografts. [1] Olaparib shows great response to Brca1-/-;p53-/- mammary tumors (50 mg/kg i.p. per day), while no responses to HR-deficient Ecad-/-;p53-/- mammary tumors. Olaparib even does not show dose-limiting toxicity in tumor-bearing mice. [3] Olaparib has been used to treat with BRCA mutated tumors, such as ovarian, breast and prostate cancers. Moreover, Olaparib shows selectively inhibition to ATM (Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated)-deficient tumor cells, which indicates to be a potential agent for treating ATM mutant lymphoid tumors. [4]
Clinical Trials Combining with cediranib, Olaparib is currently in Phase I/II study for treatment of recurrent papillary-serous ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer or treatment of recurrent triple-negative breast cancer.
Features Olaparib is one of the first PARP inhibitors.
Protocol
Kinase Assay [1]
FlashPlate assay (96-well screening assay) To columns 1 through 10, 1 μL of Olaparib (in DMSO) is added, and 1 μL DMSO only is added to the positive (POS) and negative (NEG) control wells (columns 11 and 12, respectively) of a pretreated FlashPlate. PARP-1 is diluted 1:40 in buffer (buffer B: 10% glycerol (v/v), 25 mM HEPES, 12.5 mM MgCl2,50 mM KCl, 1 mM DTT, 0.01% NP-40 (v/v), pH 7.6) and 40 μL added to all 96 wells (final PARP-1 concentration in the assay is ~1 ng/μL). The plate is sealed and shaken at RT for 15 min. Following this, 10 μL of positive reaction mix (0.2 ng/μL of double-stranded oligonucleotide [M3/M4] DNA per well, 5 μM of NAD+ final assay concentration, and 0.075 μCi 3H-NAD+ per well) is added to the appropriate wells (columns 1-11). The negative reaction mix, lacking the DNA oligonucleotide, is added to column 12 (with the mean negative control value used as the background). The plate is resealed and shaken for a further 60 min at RT to allow the reaction to continue. Then, 50 μL of ice-cold acetic acid (30%) is added to each well to stop the reaction, and the plate is sealed and shaken for a further 60 min at RT. Tritiated signal bound to the FlashPlate is then determined in counts per minute (CPM) using the TopCount plate reader.
In vitro isolated enzyme assay PARP-2 activity inhibition uses a variation of the PARP-1 assay in which PARP-2 protein (recombinant) is bound down by a PARP-2 specific antibody in a 96-well white-walled plate. PARP-2 activity is measured following 3H-NAD+ DNA additions. After washing, scintillant is added to measure 3H-incorporated ribosylations. For tankyrase-1, a α-Screen assay is developed in which HIS-tagged recombinant TANK-1 protein is incubated with biotinylated NAD+in a 384-well ProxiPlate assay. Alpha beads are added to bind the HIS and biotin tags to create proximity signal, whereas the inhibition of TANK-1 activity is directly proportional to the loss of this signal.
Cell Assay [1]
Cell lines Breast cancer cell lines including SW620 colon, A2780 ovarian, HCC1937, Hs578T, MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-436, and T47D
Concentrations 1-300 nM
Incubation Time 7-14 days
Method The cytotoxicity of Olaparib is measured by clonogenic assay. Olaparib is dissolved in DMSO and diluted by culture media before use. The cells are seeded in six well plates and left to attach overnight. Then Olaparib is added at various concentrations and the cells are incubated for 7-14 days. After that the surviving colonies are counted for calculating the IC50.
Animal Study [3]
Animal Models Brca1-/-;p53-/- mammary tumors are generated in K14cre;Brca1F/F;p53F/F mice.
Formulation 50 mg/mL stocks in DMSO with 10% 2-hydroxyl-propyl-β-cyclodextrine/PBS
Doses 50 mg/kg
Administration Administered via i.p. injection at 10 μL/g of body weight

Butoconazole nitrate (chemical name: l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(2,6-dichloro- -phenylthio)-n-butyl]-imidazol nitrate) is a compound of the formula (I),

Figure imgf000003_0001

(I)

it belongs among the aryl-ethylimidazole compounds, has fungicidal activity and may be used for the treatment of vaginal infections caused primarily by Candida albicans. Azoles exert their antifungal effect via modifying the ergosterol synthesis of fungus cells; more particularly, imidazoles inhibit the 14α-demethylase enzyme, thereby bringing about an increased level of 14α-methyl sterols which, in turn, causes an alteration of cell membrane permeability leading to the destruction of the fungus cells (Tetrahedron: Asymmetry Vol 4, No. 7, pp. 1521-1526, 1993). The first process for the preparation of the butoconazole nitrate is a multistep synthesis disclosed in the US 4,078,071 patent specification. Here two reaction routes are given for the preparation of the key intermediate of the formula (TV) (l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-n- -butyl] -imidazole) .

Figure imgf000004_0001

(IN)

According to one of them first an epoxy compound is prepared from an aromatic aldehyde or from an olefinic compound having a terminal double bond; then the epoxy compound is reacted with imidazole to yield the key intermediate. The aromatic aldehyde (VIII)

Figure imgf000004_0002

(VIII)

is treated with expensive and hazardous reagents (trimethylsulfoxonium iodide and sodium hydride) in dry dimethyl sulfoxide and the epoxide formed in the reaction is isolated after a complicated work-up. The epoxide so obtained is converted to the imidazole derivate in a time consuming reaction in the presence of dimethylformamide, then the key intermediate of the formula (IN) (l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-n-butyl]-imidazole) is isolated and purified in an additional step. From the compounds having terminal double bond (Nil)

Figure imgf000004_0003

(Nil) the epoxide is obtained via a highly explosive peracidic oxidation step and the epoxide is then converted into (l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-n-butyl]-imidazole) (IV) in a manner described above. In the other reaction route a poisoning aromatic α-halo-keto compound is used as starting material which is reacted with imidazole to give the corresponding keto-imidazole which, in turn, is reduced with a complex metal hydride – a reagent with potential hazards – to yield the key intermediate (IN). The reaction mixture is worked up in an involved manner. The synthesis way described in J. Med. Chem., 1978, Vol. 21, No. 8, pp 840-843 is as follows: l-chloro-4-chlorophenyl-2-butanol (II)

Figure imgf000005_0001

(II) is treated with the imidazole (III)

Figure imgf000005_0002

(HI)

in the presence of sodium hydride reagent in dimethylformamide solvent. This substitution reaction takes a long time and gives the (l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-n-butyl]- imidazole) (IN) with a poor yield (51.7 %). In the next step of the butoconazole nitrate synthesis

(l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-n-butyl]-imidazole) (IN) is treated with thionyl chloride (which is at once a reagent and a solvent) at 65-70 °C to yield l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-chloro- -n-butyl] -imidazole of the formula (N).

Figure imgf000006_0001

(V)

The reaction mixture is then evaporated to dryness. The removal of the excess thionyl chloride, a highly corrosive substance, requires special equipment; the same applies to waste treatment, an operation which also involves an environmental risk. The residue is dissolved in dichloromethane, the solution is made alkaline by adding aqueous potassium carbonate solution. Phases are separated, the organic layer is washed with water, dried on magnesium sulphate and evaporated to give l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-chloro-n-butyl]-imidazole (N), as a gum. Said gum is dissolved in acetone and reacted with 2,6-dichlorothiophenol in the presence of potassium carbonate with a long reaction time. After the reaction has been finished, the inorganic salts are removed by filtration, the solvent is evaporated, and the residue is partitioned between water and ether. Butoconazole nitrate is precipitated with nitric acid from the ethereal layer. The end-product crystals in white plates from a mixture of acetone and ethyl acetate (yield: 84 %). Our aim was to provide a process by which the active agent can be prepared in high purity via reaction steps producing good yields and besides that said steps require neither solvents that are highly flammable and explosive (ether), carcinogenic (dimethylformamide) or corrosive (thionylchloride), nor reagents (e. g. sodium hydride) that are highly flammable or explosive. We have surprisingly found that when the starting material l-chloro-4-chlorophenyl-2-

-butanol (II) is reacted with the imidazole (III) in a mixture of toluene and aqueous sodium hydroxide solution in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst, the

(l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-n-butyl]-imidazole) (IN) key intermediate is obtained with short reaction time and excellent yield (95 %). Next we studied alternative solvents to replace the thionyl chloride in solvent function in the reaction step converting (l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-n-butyl]-imidazole) (IN) into (l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-chloro-n-butyl]-imidazole) (N). In the inert solvents which could be taken into account such as dichloromethane, toluene, chlorobenzene and dimethylformamide, the chlorinating reaction yielded a sticky reaction mixture which couldn’t be processed. We have surprisingly found, however that when (l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-n-butyl]-imidazole) (IN) is dissolved in 1 ,2-dichloroethane and reacted with approximately equimolar amount of thionyl chloride reagent in the presence of catalytic amount of dimethylformamide at 30-35 °C temperature, a crystal suspension is obtained which is easy-to-stir during the whole reaction time, resulting in that chlorination proceeds completely giving l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-chloro-n-butyl]-imidazole (N) in quantitative yield. Being the compound sufficiently pure, it is not isolated, but separated by extraction and reacted directly with 2,6-dichlorothiophenol in methyl isobutyl ketone to give 1 -[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(2,6-dichlorophenylthio)-n-butyl]-imidazole (VI) (butoconazole).

Example 1. Preparation of (1 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hvdroxy-n-butyll-imidazole) (IV) To a solution of 56.7 g (0.26 mol) of l-chloro-4-chloroρhenyl-2-butanol (J. of Medicinal Chemistry, 1978. Nol. 21. No. 8. p. 842) in 200 ml of toluene 36.2 g (0.9 mol) of sodium hydroxide dissolved in 100 ml of water, 6.4 g (0.028 mol) of benzyltriethyammomum chloride and 35.2 g (0.51 mol) of imidazole (III) are added. The reaction mixture is heated at 93-95 °C for one hour then the temperature is returned to about 60 °C, the phases are separated and to the organic layer water (100 ml) is added. The mixture is first stirred at 22-25 °C for 1 hour then at 0-5 °C for two hours. The crystals are separated by filtration, washed with water (2 x 35 ml) of 0-5 °C to yield 74 g of wet (l-[4-(4-chloroρhenyl)-2-hydroxy-n-butyl]-imidazole) which is dried at maximum 50 °C in vacuo to give 61.6 g (95 %) of the product. Recrystallization from ethyl acetate gives 52.4 g (85 %) of dry product melting at 104-106 °C.

 

Example 2. Preparation of l-[4-(4-chlorophenvπ-2-(2,6-(McMorophenyl o)-n-butyl1-ϊmidazole nitrate (I) 25 g (0.1 mol) of l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-n-butyl]-imidazole (IN) is suspended in 1,2-dichloroethane (125 ml), to this suspension dimethylformamide (1 ml) and thionyl chloride (13.6 g; 0.11 mol) are added at 30-32 °C and the reaction mixture is kept at 35-38 °C for 1.5 hour under stirring. After the chlorination has been finished the homogenous solution is cooled to 15-18 °C, the excess of thionyl choride is decomposed with water (10 ml) then again water (80 ml) is added to the solution. After stirring at 20-22 °C for 0.5 hour the phases are separated and the organic layer is extracted with water (30 ml). To the aqueous solution methyl isobutyl ketone (250 ml) is added and the pH of the mixture is adjusted to 8.5 – 9 with 15 g (0.14 mol) of sodium carbonate dissolved in water (70 ml). The mixture is stirred at 22-25 °C for 0.5 hour, phases are separated, from the organic layer an 50 ml portion is distilled off to remove water and to the remaining solution 26.8 g (0.15 mol) of 2,6-dichloro-thiophenol and 40 g (0.29 mol) of dry potassium carbonate are added. The suspension is stirred at 105 – 108 °C under nitrogen for 3-4 hours. After the reaction has been finished the inorganic salts are removed by filtration at 22-25 °C, the filtrate is washed and clarified with activated carbon and the pH of the clear solution is adjusted to 3 – 3.5 by adding about 8 – 9 ml of 65 % nitric acid. The solution is stirred at the same temperature for 1 hour then the temperature is lowered to 8 – 12 °C. The crystals obtained are filtered and washed to give 48 g of wet l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(2,6-dichlorophenylthio)-n-butyl]- -imidazole nitrate corresponding to 42.6 g (90 %) of dry product.

The chlorohydrin (II) is obtained by the reaction of p-chlorobenzylmagnesium chloride (I) with epichlorohydrin (A) in ether. This is then converted to the crystalline alcohol (III) by reaction with sodium imidazole (B) in DMF. On treatment with thionyl chloride is converted to the corresponding chloro compound (IV). When (IV) is reacted with 2,6-dichloro thiophenol (C) in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate in acetone, the free base of butoconazole is formed. Neutralization of the free base (V) with nitric acid gives butoconazole.

FDA issues Guidance for a clear Identification of pharmaceutical Companies

In November the US FDA has issued a Guidance for a clear identification of pharmaceutical companies. The authority now definitely prefers the DUNS system. Get more information.

In our GMP News from September 2013 you learned about a draft of a FDA Guidance for Industry entitled “Specification of the Unique Facility Identifier (UFI) System for Drug Establishment Registration”. This document’s goal was to clearly identify pharmaceutical sites. The draft comprised (manageable) five pages – including the cover page. And in terms of volume this didn’t change. However, some of the alternatives still mentioned in the draft, are not stated any longer – as one can find out when contacting the authority in these cases. The method now wanted is a registration by a D-U-N-S- (Data Universal Numbering System) number. This number – which is a 9-digit code – is…

Arterolane, also known as OZ277 or RBx 11160,is a substance being tested for antimalarial activity[1] by Ranbaxy Laboratories.[2] It was discovered by US and European scientists who were coordinated by the Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV).[3] Its molecular structure is uncommon for pharmacological compounds in that it has both an ozonide group and an adamantane substituent.[4]

Phase III clinical trials of arterolane, in combination with piperaquine, began in India in 2009.[5] When clinical trial results were disappointing, the MMV withdrew support[2] and Ranbaxy continued developing the drug combination on its own.

Ranbaxy launched India’s first new drug, SynriamTM, treating Plasmodium falciparummalaria in adults. The drug provides quick relief from most malaria-related symptoms, including fever, and has a high cure rate of over 95 %.

Just one tablet per day is required, for three days, instead of two to four tablets, twice daily, for three or more days with other medicines. The drug is independent of dietary restrictions for fatty foods or milk.

Ranbaxy developed Synriam as a fixed-dose combination of arterolane maleate and piperaquine phosphate, where arterolane is the new chemical entity (NCE) that was developed as an alternative to artemisinin. It is the first recently developed antimalarial not based on artemisinin, one of the most effective treatments for malaria, which has shown problems with resistance in recent years. Arterolane was discovered by a collaborative drug discovery project funded by the Medicines for Malaria Venture. Since SynriamTM has a synthetic source, unlike artemisinin-based drugs, production can be scaled up whenever required and a consistent supply can be maintained at a low cost.

The new drug, has been approved by the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) for marketing in India and conforms to the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) for using combination therapy in malaria. Ranbaxy is also working to make it available in African, Asian and South American markets where Malaria is rampant. SynriamTM trials are ongoing for Plasmodium vivax malaria and a paediatric formulation.

Derek Lowe of the famous In the Pipeline blog had written about arterolane in 2009. At the time it was in Phase III trial, which I assumed were the trials that Ranbaxy was conducting. But it turned out that arterolane was developed by a collaboration between researchers in the US, the UK, Switzerland and Australia who were funded by the World Health Organization and Medicines for Malaria Venture (a Swiss non-profit).

They published this work in Nature in 2004 and further SAR (Structure Activity Relationship) studies in J Med Chem in 2010. So Ranbaxy did not develop the drug from scratch? But the press release quotes Arun Sawhney, CEO and Managing Director of Ranbaxy which misleads people to think so: “It is indeed gratifying to see that Ranbaxy’s scientists have been able to gift our great nation its first new drug, to treat malaria, a disease endemic to our part of the world.

This is a historic day for science and technology in India as well as for the pharmaceutical industry in the country. Today, India joins the elite and exclusive club of nations of the world that have demonstrated the capability of developing a new drug”. So Ranbaxy mixes a known active compound (piperaquine) with a new compound that someone else found to be active (arterolane) and claims that they developed a new drug?

In an interview in LiveMint, Sawhney says, “Ranbaxy spent around $30 million on Synriam and the contribution from DST [India’s Department of Science & Technology] was Rs.5 crore.

The drug went through several phases of development since the project began in 2003. We did not look at this as a commercial development. Instead, this is a CSR [Corporate Social Responsibility] venture for us.” That’s a give away because developing a new drug from scratch has to cost more than $30 million + Rs.50 million.

MALARIA
Malaria is one of the most prevalent and deadly parasitic diseases in the world. Up to 289 million cases of malaria may have occurred in 2010, causing between 660,000 and 1.25 million deaths, mainly in Africa and mostly of children younger than 5 years.
(WHO: http://www.who.int/malaria/publications/world_malaria_report_2012/en/index.html; Fidock, D. A. Eliminating Malaria. Science 2013, 340, 1531-1533.)

The most serious problem in malaria treatment is that the parasites causing the disease, particularly the deadly Plasmodium falciparum, have developed resistance to widely used drugs, particularly chloroquine (CQ). Currently, the most efficacious therapies are combinations of an artemisinin-type compound with a long-lasting partner drug like lumefantrine, amodiaquine or mefloquine.

Malaria, the most common parasitic disease of humans, remains a major health and economic burden in most tropical countries. Large areas of Central and South America, Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic), Africa, the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and Oceania are considered as malaria-risk areas. It leads to a heavy toll of illness and death, especially amongst children and pregnant women.

According to the World Health Organization, it is estimated that the disease infects about 400 million people each year, and around two to three million people die from malaria every year. There are four kinds of malaria parasites that infect human: Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale and Plasmodium malariae.

Malaria spreads from one person to another by the bite of mosquito, Anopheles gambiae, which serves as vector. When a mosquito sucks the blood of human, sporozoites are transfused into the human body together with saliva of the mosquito. The sporozoites enter into the hepatocytes, reproduce asexually and finally enter into the blood stream. The parasites continue to multiply inside the red blood cells, until they burst and release large number of merozoites.

This process continues, destroying a significant number of blood cells and causing the characteristic paroxysm (“chills and fever”) associated with the disease. In the red blood cells, some of the merozoites become male or female gametocytes. These gametocytes are ingested by the mosquito when it feeds on blood. The gametocytes fuse in the vector’s gut; sporozoites are produced and are migrated to the vector’s salivary glands.

The clinical symptoms of malaria are generally associated with the bursting of red blood cells causing an intense fever associated with chills that can leave the infected individual exhausted and bedridden. More severe symptoms associated with repeat infections and/or infection by Plasmodium falciparum include anaemia, severe headaches, convulsions, delirium and, in some instances, death.

Quinine, an antimalarial compound that is extracted from the bark of cinchona tree, is one of the oldest and most effective drugs in existence. Chloroquine and mefloquine are the synthetic analogs of quinine developed in 1940’s, which due to their effectiveness, ease of manufacture, and general lack of side effects, became the drugs of choice. The downside to quinine and its derivatives is that they are short-acting and have bitter taste.

Further, they fail to prevent disease relapses and are also associated with side effects commonly known as “Chinchonism syndrome” characterized by nausea, vomiting, dizziness, vertigo and deafness. However, in recent years, with the emergence of drug- resistant strains of parasite and insecticide-resistant strains of vector, the treatment and/or control of malaria is becoming difficult with these conventional drugs.

Malarial treatment further progressed with the discovery of Artemisinin

(qinghaosu), a naturally occurring endoperoxide sesquiterpene lactone isolated from the plant Artemisia annua (Meshnick et al., Microbiol. Rev. 1996, 60, p. 301-315; Vroman et al., Curr. Pharm. Design, 1999, 5, p. 101-138; Dhingra et al., 2000, 66, p. 279-300), and a number of its precursors, metabolites and semi-synthetic derivatives which have shown to possess antimalarial properties. The antimalarial action of artemisinin is due to its reaction with iron in free heme molecules of the malaria parasite, with the generation of free radicals leading to cellular destruction. This initiated a substantial effort to elucidate its molecular mechanism of action (Jefford, dv. Drug Res. 1997, 29, p. 271-325; Cumming et al., Adv. Pharmacol. 1997, 37, p. 254-297) and to identify novel antimalarial peroxides (Dong and Vennerstrom, Expert Opin. Ther. Patents 2001, 1 1, p. 1753-1760).

Although the clinically useful artemisinin derivatives are rapid acting and potent antimalarial drugs, they have several disadvantages including recrudescence,

neurotoxicity, (Wesche et al., Antimicrob. Agents. Chemother. 1994, 38, p. 1813-1819) and metabolic instability (White, Trans. R. Soc. Trop. Med. Hyg., 1994, 88, p. 41-43). A fair number of these compounds are quite active in vitro, but most suffer from low oral activity (White, Trans. R. Soc. Trop. Med. Hyg., 1994, 88, p. 41-43 and van Agtmael et al., Trends Pharmacol. Sci., 1999, 20, p. 199-205). Further all these artemisinin derivatives are conventionally obtained from plant source and are therefore expensive.

As the cultivation of the plant material is dependent on many factors including the weather conditions, the supply source thus becomes finite and there are chances of varying yield and potency. This leads to quality inconsistencies and supply constraints. As malaria is more prevalent in developing countries, a switch to cheaper and effective medicine is highly desirable.

Thus there exists a need in the art to identify new peroxide antimalarial agents, especially those which are not dependent on plant source and can be easily synthesized, are devoid of neurotoxicity, and which possess improved solubility, stability and pharmacokinetic properties.

Following that, many synthetic antimalarial 1 ,2,4-trioxanes (Jefford, Adv. Drug Res. 1997, 29, p. 271-325; Cumming et al., Adv. Pharmacol. 1997, 37, p. 254-297), 1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes (Vennerstrom et al., J. Med. Chem., 2000, 43, p. 2753-2758), and other endoperoxides have been prepared. Various patents/applications disclose means and method for treating malaria using Spiro or dispiro 1,2,4-trioxolanes for example, U.S.

Patent Application No. 2004/0186168 and U.S. Patent Nos. 6,486, 199 and 6,825,230. The present invention relates to solid dosage forms of the various spiro or dispiro 1 ,2,4- trioxolanes antimalarial compounds disclosed in these patents/applications and are incorporated herein by reference.

Active compounds representing various Spiro and dispiro 1 ,2,4-trioxolane derivatives possess excellent potency, efficacy against Plasmodium parasites, and a lower degree of neurotoxicity, in addition to their structural simplicity and ease of synthesis. Furthermore, these compounds have half-lives which are believed to permit short-term treatment regimens comparing favorably to other artemisinin-like drugs. In general, the therapeutic dose of trioxolane derivative may range between about 0.1-1000 mg/kg/day, in particular between about 1-100 mg/kg/day. The foregoing dose may be administered as a single dose or may be divided into multiple doses. For malaria prevention, a typical dosing schedule could be, for example, 2.0-1000 mg/kg weekly beginning 1-2 weeks prior to malaria exposure, continued up to 1-2 weeks post-exposure.

Monotherapy with artemisinin (natural or synthetic) class of drugs might cure the patients within 3 days, however perceiving the potential threat of the malarial parasite developing resistance towards otherwise very potent artemisinin class of drugs, WHO had strictly called for an immediate halt to the provision of single-drug artemisinin malaria pills. Combination therapy in case of malaria retards the development of resistance, improve efficacy by lowering recrudescence rate, provides synergistic effect, and increase exposure of the parasite to the drugs.

Artemsinin based combinations are available in the market for a long time.

Artemether-lumafentrine (Co-artem®) was the first fixed dose antimalarial combination containing an artemisinin derivative and has been known since 1999. This combination has passed extensive safety and efficacy trials and has been approved by more than 70 regulatory agencies. Co-artem® is recommended by WHO as the first line treatment for uncomplicated malaria.

Other artemisinin based combinations include artesunate and amodiaquine (Coarsucam®), and dihydroartemisin and piperaquine (Eurartesim®). Unfortunately, all the available artemisinin based combinations have complicated dosage regimens making it difficult and inconvenient for a patient to comply completely with the total prescribed duration. For example, the dosage regimen of Co-artem®for an adult having body weight of more than 35 kg includes 6 doses over three days.

The first dose comprises four tablets initially, the second dose comprises four tablets after eight hours, the third to sixth doses comprise four tablets twice for another two days; making it a total of 24 tablets. The dosage regimen of Coarsucam® for an adult having body weight of more than 36 kg or age above 14 years includes three doses over three days; each dose comprises two tablets; making it a total of six tablets. The dosage regimen of Eurartesim® for an adult having body weight between 36 kg – 75 kg includes 3 doses over three days, each dose comprises of three tablets, making it a total of nine tablets.

It is evident that the available artemisinin-based combinations have a high pill burden on patients as they need to consume too many tablets. As noted above, this may increase the possibility of missing a few doses, and, consequently, could result in reduced efficacy due to non-compliance and may even lead to development of resistance for the drug. Therefore, there is an urgent and unmet need for anti-malarial combinations with a simplified daily dosing regimen that reduces the pill burden and would increase patient compliance.

Apart from simplifying the regimen, there are certain limitations for formulators developing formulations with trioxolones, the first being their susceptibility to degradation in presence of moisture that results in reduced shelf lives. Another is their bitter taste, which can result in poor compliance of the regimen or selection of another, possibly less effective, therapeutic agent.

Pasireotide (SOM230, trade name Signifor[1]) is an orphan drug approved in the U.S. and Europe for the treatment of Cushing’s disease in patients who fail or are ineligible for surgical therapy.[2][3] It was developed by Novartis. Pasireotide is a somatostatinanalog which has a 40-fold increased affinity to somatostatin receptor 5 than other somatostatin analogs.

The drug showed therapeutical potential in a recent study (PASPORT-CUSHINGS B2305) where 162 patients were treated with either 2x 600 µg or 2x 900 µg pasireotide s.c. daily.[4] The effectiveness of the treatment was checked by the UFC-value (urinary free cortisol) after six months of treatment. The mean reduction of UFC after six months was 47.9%, which also lead to amelioration of clinical symptoms such as blood pressure, cholesterol value, and weight loss.[5]

Pasireotide was approved by the EMEA in October 2009[6] and by the FDA in December 2012.[7]

At present, it is in phase III clinical trials at Novartis for the treatment of carcinoid tumors and symptoms that are not adequately controlled by somatostatin analogues (Sandostatin). Phase II clinical development is also under way at the company for the treatment of gastric dumping syndrome, metastatic carcinoid tumors, meningioma and pituitary adenoma and for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma in combination with everolimus. Early clinical trials are also ongoing for the treatment of patients with metastatic melanoma or Merkel cell carcinoma. A phase I clinical trial for the treatment of alcoholic cirrhosis has been completed. The company intends to file for approval in 2007 for these indications. Novartis and Thomas Jefferson University are conducting phase II clinical trials for the treatment of prostate cancer, alone or in combination with everolimus. The Mayo Clinic is conducting phase II clinical trials for the treatment of polycystic liver disease. Phase III clinical trials had been ongoing for the reduction of post-pancreatectomy fistula, leak, and abscess; however, in 2010 these trials were suspended. In 2004, orphan drug designation was assigned in the E.U. for the treatment of functional gastroenteropancreatic endocrine tumors. In 2009, orphan drug designation was received in the U.S. and the E.U. for the treatment of Cushing’s disease and acromegaly. The designation for the treatment of Cushing’s disease was assigned in Australia in 2011 and in Japan in 2012. In 2013, orphan drug designation was assigned in Australia for the treatment of acromegaly.

Pasireotide is a multiligand somatostatin analogue with high binding affinity to somatostatin receptors sst1, sst2, sst3 and sst5. Novartis Oncology, a division of Novartis, filed for approval in the E.U. for the treatment of Cushing’s syndrome in 2010. A positive opinion was granted in 2011 and final approval was obtained in 2012. The E.U.’s first launch took place in Germany in June 2012. Also in 2011, Novartis filed an NDA in the U.S. seeking approval of the compound for the treatment of Cushing’s syndrome; however, the application was withdrawn the same year due to an issue related to chemistry, manufacturing and controls. In November 2012, the product was recommended for approval in the U.S. for Cushing’s syndrome. In December 2012, final FDA approval was granted. Phase III clinical trials are ongoing in Japan for this indication.

  • The present invention relates to a new use of Somatostatin (SRIF) peptidomimetics (also referred to as Somatostatin- or SRIF-analogs).
  • Somatostatin is a tetradecapeptide having the structure

    Figure imgb0001
  • The somatostatin class is a known class of small peptides comprising the naturally occurring somatostatin-14 and analogues having somatostatin related activity, e.g. as disclosed by A.S. Dutta in Small Peptides, Vol.19, Elsevier (1993). By “somatostatin analog” as used herein is meant any straight-chain or cyclic polypeptide having a structure based on that of the naturally occurring somatostatin-14 wherein one or more amino acid units have been omitted and/or replaced by one or more other amino radical(s) and/or wherein one or more functional groups have been replaced by one or more other functional groups and/or one or more groups have been replaced by one or several other isosteric groups. In general, the term covers all modified derivatives of the native somatostatin-14 which exhibit a somatostatin related activity, e.g. they bind to at least one of the five somatostatin receptor (SSTR), preferably in the nMolar range.
  • Natural somatostatin binds and activates all 5 somatostatin receptors (SSTR1-5) with nmol efficacy and thus causes its multiple physiological effects.
  • Synthetically available somatostatin analogs differ in their binding affinity to the different somatostatin receptor subtypes and often bind selectively to one or few subtypes with significantly higher affinity.
  • Somatostatin analogs of particular interest according to the present invention have a high binding affinity to human SSTR1,2,3,5 and have been described e.g. in WO 97/01579 , the contents of which being incorporated herein by reference. Said somatostatin analogs comprise the amino acid sequence of formula I-(D/L)Trp-Lys-X1 -X2 -     Iwherein X1 is a radical of formula (a) or (b)

Example 1 : Cyclo[{4-(NH2-C2H4-NH-CO-O-

a) Synthesis of Fmoc-Pro(4-OCO-NH-CH2-CH2-NH-Boc)-OH

L-hydroxyproline methylester hydrochloride is reacted with Fmoc-OSu in aqueous 1.0 N sodium carbonate/THF at room temperature. After completion of the reaction, Fmoc-Pro(4- OH)-OMe is isolated by precipitation. Fmoc-Pro(4-OH)-OMe is then added dropwise into a solution of trisphosgene (0.6 eq.) in THF to give a chlorocarbonate intermediate. After 1 h dimethylaminopyridine (1.0 eq.) and N-Boc-diaminoethane (6.0 eq.) are added and the reaction is stirred at room temperature. After completion of the reaction, the solvent is removed in vacuo and the resulting Fmoc-Pro(4-OCO-NH-CH2-CH2-NH-Boc)-OMe is extracted from a two phase system of ethyl acetate/0.1 M HCI to give crude product (MH+ = 554) which is purified by crystallization from ethyl acetate. The methyl ester is then cleaved to the free acid by treatment with 1 N NaOH in dioxane/water and the product Fmoc-Pro(4-OCO-NH-CH2-CH2-NH-Boc)-OH is purified on silica gel, [(M+Na)]+= 562).

b) H-Phe-Pro(4-OCO-NH-CH2-CH2-NH-Boc)-Phg-DTrp(Boc)-Lys(Boc)-Tyr(Bzl)-OH Commercially available Fmoc-Tyr(Bzl)-O-CH2-Ph(3-OCH3)-O-CH2-Polystyrene resin (SASRIN-resin, 2.4 mM) is used as starting material and carried through a standard protocol consisting of repetitive cycles of Nα-deprotection (Piperidine/DMF, 2:8), repeated washings with DMF and coupling (DIPCI: 4.8 mM/HOBT: 6mM, DMF). The following amino acid- derivatives are sequentially coupled: Fmoc-Lys(Boc)-OH, Fmoc-DTrp(Boc)-OH, Fmoc-Phg- OH, Fmoc-Pro(4-OCO-NH-CH2-CH2-NH-Boc)-OH, Fmoc-Phe-OH. Couplings (2 eq. amino acids) are continued or repeated until completion, i.e. until complete disappearance of residual amino groups which is monitored by a negative ‘Kaiser* Ninhydrin test. Before cleavage of the completely assembled protected linear peptide from its resin support the Nα-Fmoc protection from the last residue is removed.

c) H-Phe-Pro(4-OCO-NH-CH2-CH2-NH-Boc)-Phg-DTrp(Boc)-Lys(Boc)-Tyr(Bzl)-OH After washings with CH2CI2) the peptide-resin is transferred into a column or a stirred suction filter and the peptide fragment is cleaved and eluted with a short treatment with 2% TFA in CH2CI2 within 1 h. The eluate is immediately neutralized with a saturated NaHCO3 solution. The organic solution is separated and evaporated and the side chain protected precursor (MH+ = 1366) is cyclized without further purification.

d) cyclo[-Pro(4-OCO-NH-CH2-CH2-NH2)-Phg-DT -Lys-Tyr(Bzl)-Phe-], trifluoroacetate The above linear fragment is dissolved in DMF (4 mM), cooled to minus 5°C and treated with 2 eq. DIPEA then 1.5 eq. of DPPA and stirred until completion (ca. 20h) at 0-4°C. The solvent was almost completely removed in vacuo; the concentrate is diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with NaHCO3, water, dried and evaporated in vacuo.

For deprotection the residue is dissolved at 0°C in TFA H2O 95:5 (ca.50 mM) and stirred in the cold for 30 min. The product is then precipitated with ether containing ca. 10 eq. HCI, filtered, washed with ether and dried. In order to completely decompose remaining Indole-N carbaminic acid the product is dissolved in 5% AcOH and lyophilized after 15 h at ca. 5°C. Preparative RP-HPLC is carried out on a C-18 10 μm STAGROMA column (5-25 cm) using a gradient of 0.5% TFA to 0.5% TFA in 70% acetonitrile. Fractions containing the pure title compound are combined, diluted with water and lyophilized. The lyophilisate is dissolved in water followed by precipitation with 10% Na2CO3 in water. The solid free base is filtered of, washed with water and dried in vacuum at room temperature. The resulting white powder is directly used for the different salts.

Example 2: Cyclo[{4-(NH2-C2H4-NH-CO-O-)Pro}-Phg-DTrp-Lys-Tyr(4-Bzl)-Phe] in salt form a. Acetate

Conversion to the acetate salt form is carried out using an ion-exchange resin (e.g. AG 3- X4). MS (ESI): m/z 524.5 [M+2H]2+ [α]D 20= -42°, c=0.26 in AcOH 95%

b. Aspartate

Conversion to the mono- or di-aspartate is obtained by reacting 1 equivalent of the compound of Example 1 with 1 or 2 equivalent of aspartic acid in a mixture of acetonitrile/water 1 :3. The resulting mixture is frozen and lyophilized. The di-aspartate may also be obtained by dissolving the compound of Example 1 in water/acetonitrile 4:1, filtering, loading on a an ion-exchange resin, e.g. BioRad AG4X4 column, and eluting with water/acetonitrile 4:1. The eluate is concentrated, frozen and lyophilized. [ ]D 20= -47.5°, c= 2.5mg/ml in methanol

Abstract Image

A rational drug design approach, capitalizing on structure−activity relationships and involving transposition of functional groups from somatotropin release inhibitory factor (SRIF) into a reduced size cyclohexapeptide template, has led to the discovery of SOM230 (25), a novel, stable cyclohexapeptide somatostatin mimic that exhibits unique high-affinity binding to human somatostatin receptors (subtypes sst1−sst5). SOM230 has potent, long-lasting inhibitory effects on growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1 release and is a promising development candidate currently under evaluation in phase I clinical trials.

5.1.3.2. Cyclization, Deprotection, and Purification of Cyclo[(diaminoethylcarbamoyl)-HyPro-Phg-d-Trp-Lys-Tyr(Bzl)-Phe] (25). For cyclization, the above linear fragment was dissolved in DMF to a concentration of 4 mM, cooled to −5 °C, treated with 2 equiv of DIPEA and then 1.5 equiv of DPPA, and stirred at 0−4 °C until completion (ca. 20 h). The solvent was almost completely removed in vacuo. The concentrate was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with NaHCO3 and water, dried, and evaporated in vacuo. The protected cyclized product was obtained in good yield.
For complete deprotection, the residue was dissolved at 0 °C in TFA/H2O, 95:5 (ca. 50 mM), and the mixture was stirred in the cold for 30 min. The product was then precipitated with ether containing ca. 10 equiv of HCl, filtered, washed with ether, and dried. To completely decompose the remaining indole-N carbaminic acid, the product was dissolved in 5% AcOH and lyophilized after 15 h at ca. 5 °C. Analytical RP-HPLC indicated a purity of 75% for the crude product.Preparative HPLC purification afforded 25:  3.1 g, 20% yield, purity 98%, RtI = 10.70, RtII = 10.20, RtIV = 3.90, HRMS 1047.51 (calcd 1047.5014).

FDA approves Gardasil 9 for prevention of certain cancers caused by five additional types of HPV


12/10/2014 01:39 PM EST
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Gardasil 9 (Human Papillomavirus 9-valent Vaccine, Recombinant) for the prevention of certain diseases caused by nine types of Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Covering nine HPV types, five more HPV types than Gardasil (previously approved by the FDA), Gardasil 9 has the potential to prevent approximately 90 percent of cervical, vulvar, vaginal and anal cancers.
 GARDASIL is the only human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine that helps protect against 4 types of HPV. In girls and young women ages 9 to 26, GARDASIL helps protect against 2 types of HPV that cause about 75% of cervical cancer cases, and 2 more types that cause about 90% of genital warts cases. In boys and young men ages 9 to 26, GARDASIL helps protect against approximately 90% of genital warts cases.

GARDASIL also helps protect girls and young women ages 9 to 26 against approximately 70% of vaginal cancer cases and up to 50% of vulvar cancer cases.

GARDASIL may not fully protect everyone, nor will it protect against diseases caused by other HPV types or against diseases not caused by HPV. GARDASIL does not prevent all types of cervical cancer, so it’s important for women to continue routine cervical cancer screenings. GARDASIL does not treat cancer or genital warts. GARDASIL is given as 3 injections over 6 months.

Trade Name:Ofev® / Vargatef®

MOA:Tyrosine kinase inhibitor

Indication:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF); Non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

In 2011, orphan drug designation was assigned in the U.S. and Japan for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. In 2013, orphan drug designation was also assigned for the same indication in the E.U. In 2014, a Breakthrough Therapy Designation was assigned to the compound for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Nintedanib (formerly BIBF 1120) is a small molecule tyrosine-kinase inhibitor, targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) and platelet derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) being developed by Boehringer Ingelheim as an anti-angiogenesis anti-cancer agent under the trade name Vargatef, and recently approved for treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis as Ofev.

The use of nintedanib or its salts, particularly its esylate salt is claimed for treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in a patient who has received prior treatment with an anti-tumor therapy other than with nintedanib, wherein the patient to be treated is selected for treatment on the basis showing progression of the cancer within a period of 9 months or less after the initiation of said prior treatment. It is also claimed that the compound may be administered in combination with an anti-cancer drug, eg docetaxel. Nintedanib is known to be an antagonist of FGF-1, FGF-2, FGF-3, VEGF-1, VEGF-2, VEGF-3, PDGF-α and PDGF-β receptors.

Boehringer Ingelheim has developed and launched Ofev, an oral capsule formulation of nintedanib, for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), hepatic insufficiency and cancer, including metastatic NSCLC, ovarian, prostate and colorectal cancer. In October 2014, the US FDA approved the drug and an NDA was filed in Japan for IPF. Picks up from WO2014049099, claiming pharmaceutical combinations comprising nintedanib and sunitinib.
Nintedanib is an indolinone derivative angiogenesis inhibitor, originated at Boehringer Ingelheim. In 2014, the product candidate was approved and launched in the U.S. for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and a positive opinion was received by the EMA for the same indication. Also in 2014, Nintedanib was approved in the E.U. for the oral treatment of locally advanced, metastatic or locally recurrent non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) of adenocarcinoma tumour histology after first-line chemotherapy, in combination with docetaxel.The drug candidate is a small-molecule triple kinase inhibitor targeting the angiogenesis kinases (angiokinases) vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) and platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR). By allowing the vascularization necessary for the nourishment of tumors, these angiokinases have been implicated in tumor growth, proliferation and metastasis. In previous studies, intedanib potently and selectively inhibited human endothelial cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). It showed good oral bioavailability and tolerance, and significant antitumor activity was observed in a number of human tumor xenograft models.

Mechanism of action

Nintedanib is an indolinone-derived drug that inhibits the process of blood vessel formation (angiogenesis). Angiogenesis inhibitors stop the formation and reshaping of blood vessels in and around tumours, which reduces the tumour’s blood supply, starving tumour cells of oxygen and nutrients leading to cell death and tumour shrinkage. Unlike conventional anti-cancer chemotherapy which has a direct cell killing effect on cancer cells, angiogenesis inhibitors starve the tumour cells of oxygen and nutrients which results in tumour cell death. One of the advantages of this method of anti-cancer therapy is that it is more specific than conventional chemotherapy agents, therefore results in fewer and less severe side effects than conventional chemotherapy.

The process of new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis) is essential for the growth and spread of cancers. It is mediated by signaling molecules (growth factors) released from cancer cells in response to low oxygen levels. The growth factors cause the cells of the tumour’s blood vessel to divide and reorganize resulting in the sprouting of new vessels in and around the tumour, improving its blood supply.

Angiogenesis is a process that is essential for the growth and spread of all solid tumours, blocking it prevents the tumour from growing and may result in tumour shrinkage as well as a reduction in the spread of the cancer to other parts of the body. Nintedanib exerts its anti-cancer effect by binding to and blocking the activation of cell receptors involved in blood vessel formation and reshaping (i.e. VEGFR 1-3, FGFR 1-3 AND PDGFRα and β). Inhibition of these receptors in the cells that make up blood vessels (endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells and pericytes) by Nintedanib leads to programmed cell death, destruction of tumor blood vessels and a reduction in blood flow to the tumour. Reduced tumour blood flow inhibits tumor cell proliferation and migration hence slowing the growth and spread of the cancer.[1]

Adverse effects

Preclinical studies have shown that nintedanib binds in a highly selective manner to the ATP binding pocked of its three target receptor families, without binding to similarly shaped ATP domains in other proteins, which reduces the potential for undesirable side effects.[2]

The most common side effects observed with nintedanib were reversible elevation in liver enzymes (10-28% of patients) and gastrointestinal disturbance (up to 50%). Side effects observed with nintedanib were worse with the higher 250 mg dose, for this reason subsequent trials have used the equally clinically effective 200 mg dose.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

Nintedanib inhibits the growth and reshaping of blood vessels which is also an essential process in normal wound healing and tissue repair. Therefore a theoretical side effect of nintedanib is reduced wound healing however, unlike other anti-angiogenic agents, this side effect has not been observed in patients receiving nintedanib.

Studies

Preclinical studies have demonstrated that nintedanib selectively binds to and blocks the VEGF, FGF and PDGF receptors, inhibiting the growth of cells that constitute the walls of blood vessels (endothelial and smooth muscle cells and pericytes) in vitro. Nintedanib reduces the number and density of blood vessels in tumours in vivo, resulting in tumour shrinkage.[1][2] Nintedanib also inhibits the growth of cells that are resistant to existing chemotherapy agents in vitro, which suggests a potential role for the agent in patients with solid tumours that are unresponsive to or relapse following current first line therapy.[10]

Early clinical trials of nintedanib have been carried out in patients with non-small cell lung, colorectal, uterine, endometrial, ovarian and cervical cancer and multiple myeloma.[4][5][7][8][9] These studies reported that the drug is active in patients, safe to administer and is stable in the bloodstream. They identified that the maximum tolerated dose of nintedanib is 20 0 mg when taken once a day.

Clinical studies

In the first human trials, nintedanib halted the growth of tumours in up to 50% of patients with non-small cell lung cancer and 76% of patients with advanced colorectal cancer and other solid tumours.[4][8] A complete response was observed in 1/26 patients with non-small cell lung and 1/7 patients with ovarian cancer treated with nintedanib. A further 2 patients with ovarian cancer had partial responses to nintedanib.[8][9]

Two phase II trials have been carried out assessing the efficacy, dosing and side effects of nintedanib in non-small cell lung and ovarian cancer. These trials found that nintedanib delayed relapse in patients with ovarian cancer by two months[6] and that overall survival of patients with non-small cell lung who received nintedanib was similar to that observed with the FDA approved VEGFR inhibitor sorafenib. These trials also concluded that increasing the dose of the nintedanib has no effect on survival.[3]

Current clinical trials

Nintedanib is being tested in several phase I to III clinical trials for cancer. Angiogenesis inhibitors such as nintedanib may be effective in a range of solid tumour types including; lung, ovarian, metastatic bowel, liver and brain cancer. Patients are also being recruited for three phase III clinical trials that will evaluate the potential benefit of nintedanib when added to existing 1st line treatments in patients with ovarian.[11] and 2nd line treatment in non-small cell lung cancer [12][13] The phase III trials of nintedanib in lung cancer have been named LUME-Lung 1 and LUME-Lung 2.

Current phase II trials are investigating the effect of nintedanib in patients with metastatic bowel cancer, liver cancer and the brain tumour: glioblastoma multiforme.[14]

Phase III trials are investigating the use of nintedanib in combination with the existing chemotherapy agents permexetred and docetaxel in patients with non-small cell lung cancer,[15] and in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel as a first line treatment for patients with ovarian cancer.[16]

A phase III clinical trial was underway examining the safety and efficacy of nintedanib on patients with the non-cancerous lung condition idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.[17] Nintedanib, under the brand name Ofev, was approved by the FDA for treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis on 15 Oct 2014. [18]

In terms of clinical development, additional phase III clinical trials are ongoing for the treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer, in combination with chemotherapy, and for the treatment of refractory metastatic colorectal cancer. Phase II clinical trials are also ongoing at the company for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme, previously untreated patients with renal cell cancer, and for the treatment of patients with unresectable malignant pleural mesothelioma. The National Cancer Center of Korea (NCC) is evaluating the compound in phase II studies as second line treatment for small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The Centre Oscar Lambret is also conducting phase II clinical trials for the treatment of breast cancer in combination with docetaxel. Phase II trials are under way at EORTC as second line therapy for patients with either differentiated or medullary thyroid cancer progressing after first line therapy. The compound is also in early clinical development for the treatment of cancer of the peritoneal cavity, hepatocellular carcinoma, acute myeloid leukemia and ovarian cancer. Clinical trials have been completed for the treatment of prostate cancer and for the treatment of colorectal cancer. Boehringer Ingelheim is also conducting phase I/II clinical trials for the treatment of NSCLC and acute myeloid leukemia in addition to low-dose cytarabine. Phase I clinical studies are ongoing at the company for the treatment of epithelial ovary cancer and for the treatment of patients with mild and moderate hepatic impairment. The company had been evaluating the compound in early clinical trials for the treatment of prostate cancer in combination with docetaxel, but recent progress reports for this indication are not available at present.

In 2011, orphan drug designation was assigned in the U.S. and Japan for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. In 2013, orphan drug designation was also assigned for the same indication in the E.U. In 2014, a Breakthrough Therapy Designation was assigned to the compound for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Abstract Image

Nintedanib (BIBF1120) is a potent, oral, small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor, also known as a triple angiokinase inhibitor, inhibiting three major signaling pathways involved in angiogenesis. Nintedanib targets proangiogenic and pro-fibrotic pathways mediated by the VEGFR family, the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) family, the platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) family, as well as Src and Flt-3 kinases. The compound was identified during a lead optimization program for small-molecule inhibitors of angiogenesis and has since undergone extensive clinical investigation for the treatment of various solid tumors, and in patients with the debilitating lung disease idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Recent clinical evidence from phase III studies has shown that nintedanib has significant efficacy in the treatment of NSCLC, ovarian cancer, and IPF. This review article provides a comprehensive summary of the preclinical and clinical research and development of nintedanib from the initial drug discovery process to the latest available clinical trial data.

Abstract Image

Inhibition of tumor angiogenesis through blockade of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling pathway is a new treatment modality in oncology. Preclinical findings suggest that blockade of additional pro-angiogenic kinases, such as fibroblast and platelet-derived growth factor receptors (FGFR and PDGFR), may improve the efficacy of pharmacological cancer treatment. Indolinones substituted in position 6 were identified as selective inhibitors of VEGF-, PDGF-, and FGF-receptor kinases. In particular, 6-methoxycarbonyl-substituted indolinones showed a highly favorable selectivity profile. Optimization identified potent inhibitors of VEGF-related endothelial cell proliferation with additional efficacy on pericyctes and smooth muscle cells. In contrast, no direct inhibition of tumor cell proliferation was observed. Compounds 2 (BIBF 1000) and 3 (BIBF 1120) are orally available and display encouraging efficacy in in vivo tumor models while being well tolerated. The triple angiokinase inhibitor 3 is currently in phase III clinical trials for the treatment of nonsmall cell lung cancer.

After a classical malonic ester addition to arene 3, the resulting nitro benzene (4) is hydrogenated under acidic conditions, furnishing the 6-methoxycarbonyl-substituted oxindole 5 via decarboxylative cyclization. Condensation of 5 with trimethyl orthobenzoate in acetic anhydride leads to compound 6, one of the two key building blocks of the synthesis. The concomitant N-acetylation of the oxindole activates the scaffold for the condensation reaction.
The aniline side chain (9) can be prepared by a one-pot bromo-acetylation/amination of the para-nitro-phenylamine (7) using bromoacetyl bromide and N-methylpiperazine and a subsequent hydrogenation furnishing 9 as the second key building block. Condensation of both building blocks in an addition–elimination sequence and subsequent acetyl removal with piperidine furnishes 2 as free base (pKa = 7.9), which subsequently is converted into its monoethanesulfonate salt (1). Compound 1 is highly crystalline (mp = 305 °C) and exhibits a log P of 3.0 and good aqueous solubility (>20 mg/mL in water).

CLINICALS………http://clinicaltrials.gov/search/intervention=Icotinib

Icotinib Hydrochloride (BPI-2009H), or Icotinib, is a highly selective, first generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI). EGFR is an oncogenic driver and patients with somatic mutations, particularly an exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R mutation, within the tyrosine kinase domain have activating mutations that lead to unchecked cell proliferation. Overexpression of EGFR causes inappropriate activation of the anti-apoptotic Ras signaling pathway, found in many different types of cancer. Icotinib is a quinazoline derivative that binds reversibly to the ATP binding site of the EGFR protein, preventing completion of the signal transduction cascade.[1]

Clinical Evaluation

Icotinib is indicated for the treatment for EGFR mutation-positive, advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as a second-line or third-line treatment, for patients who have failed at least one prior treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy. The ICOGEN trial was a double-blind, head-to-head phase III study comparing icotinib with gefitinib in all-comers. From 27 centers in China, 399 patients were randomized between the two treatments testing for a primary objective of progression-free survival and secondary objectives of overall survival, time to progression, quality of life, percentage of patients who achieved an objective response, and toxic effects. The ICOGEN results showed icotinib to have a median PFS of 4.6 months (95% CI 3.5 – 6.3) as compared to gefitinib which has a PFS of 3.4 months (95% CI 2.3 – 3.8). After the study was completed, post-hoc analysis revealed that in the icotinib treatment group, patients with activating EGFR mutations showed improved PFS as compared to patients with wild-type EGFR. Icotinib also was associated with fewer adverse events than gefitinib when considering all grades of reactions together (61% versus 70% respectively, p = 0.046).[2] The phase IV ISAFE trial evaluated 5,549 patients and showed icotinib to have an overall response rate of 30% and a low adverse event rate of 31.5%.[3]

Regulatory Approvals

Icotinib was approved in China by the SFDA in June, 2011.[4] Since approval, Icotinib has treated over 40,000 patients in China successfully and is now undergoing global development.

January 2014, Beta Pharma, Inc. was given a “May Proceed” from the US FDA to conduct a Phase I study for the evaluation of icotinib as a treatment of EGFR+ Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).

Icotinib is a potent and specific EGFR inhibitor with IC50 of 5 nM, including the EGFR, EGFR(L858R), EGFR(L861Q), EGFR(T790M) and EGFR(T790M, L858R). Phase 4.Icotinib hydrochloride is the epidermal growth factor receptor kinase targeting a new generation of targeted anti-cancer drugs, completely independent from the original tumor clinical practitioners and experts of science, through eight years of the development, its first adaptation disease is advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Icotinib is an orally available quinazoline-based inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), with potential antineoplastic activity. Icotinib selectively inhibits the wild-type and several mutated forms of EGFR tyrosine kinase. This may lead to an inhibition of EGFR-mediated signal transduction and may inhibit cancer cell proliferation. EGFR, a receptor tyrosine kinase, is upregulated in a variety of cancer cell types. Icotinib was approved in China in 2011

Icotinib has been found to be noninferior to gefitinib in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), according to reports from the phase III Chinese double-blind ICOGEN study.

“[I]cotinib is a valid therapeutic option for patients with non-small-cell lung cancer as a second-line or third-line treatment, although patients might find taking icotinib three times a day an inconvenience,” write Yan Sun (Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China) and colleagues.

Icotinib is an oral epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that has exhibited good antitumor activity in phase II studies. However, it has a shorter half-life than gefitinib, another TKI, which means that it needs to be taken more often.

  • Tyrosine kinase receptors are trans-membrane proteins that, in response to an extracellular stimulus, propagate a signaling cascade to control cell proliferation, angiogenesis, apoptosis and other important features of cell growth. One class of such receptors, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinases, are over-expressed in many human cancers, including brain, lung, liver, bladder, breast, head and neck, esophagus, gastrointestinal, breast, ovary, cervix or thyroid cancer.
  • EGFR is expressed in many types of tumor cells. Binding of cognate ligands (including EGF, TGFα (i.e., Transforming Growth Factor-α) and neuregulins) to the extracellular domain causes homo- or heterodimerization between family members; the juxtaposition of cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domains results in transphosphorylation of specific tyrosine, serine and threonine residues within each cytoplasmic domain. The formed phosphotyrosines act as docking sites for various adaptor molecules and subsequent activation of signal transduction cascades (Ras/mitogen-activated, PI3K/Akt and Jak/STAT) that trigger proliferative cellular responses.
  • Various molecular and cellular biology and clinical studies have demonstrated that EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors can block cancer cell proliferation, metastasis and other EGFR-related signal transduction responses to achieve clinical anti-tumor therapeutic effects. Two oral EGFR kinase inhibitors with similar chemical structures are Gefitinib (Iressa; AstraZeneca), approved by the U.S. FDA for advanced non-small cell lung cancer in 2003 (and later withdrawn), and Erlotinib Hydrochloride (Tarceva; Roche and OSI), approved by the U.S. FDA for advanced non-small cell lung cancer and pancreatic cancer treatment in 2004.
  • Chinese Patent Publication No. CN1305860C discloses the structure of 4-[(3-ethynyl-phenyl)amino]-6,7-benzo-12-crown-quinoline (free base) on page 29, Example 15, Compound 23.

Icotinib was launched in China in August 2011, after approval by the State Food and Drug Administration. It is a targeted EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor that, like erlotinib (Tarceva) and gefitinib (Iressa), shows benefit in patients with EGFR m+ NSCLC.
