2-butyl-3-benzofuranyl-4-[2-(diethylamino)ethoxy]-3,5-diiodophenyl ketone; 2-butyl-3-[3,5-diiodo-4-(b-diethylaminoethoxy)benzoyl]benzofuran
Molecular Formula: C25H29I2NO3

In December 1985, amiodarone was approved by the FDA for the treatment of arrhythmias.[6] This makes amiodarone one of the few drugs approved by the FDA without rigorous randomized clinical trials.

Amiodarone is an antiarrhythmic agent used for various types of cardiac dysrhythmias, both ventricular and atrial. It was discovered in 1961. Despite relatively common side-effects, it is used in arrhythmias that are otherwise difficult to treat with medication.

A more recent synthesis of amiodarone reports the cyclisation of α-phenoxyhexanal 389 under acidic conditions to yield the substituted benzofuran 390 (Scheme 76). A Friedel–Crafts acylation next introduces the aryl ring at the 3-position. Demethylation, iodination and a final alkylation with a diethylaminoethane fragment yields amiodarone [115-117].

PATENT

CN109053652-PREPARATION METHOD OF AMIODARONE HYDROCHLORIDE INTERMITTENT

https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=CN235615504&_cid=P11-KL0AU0-06410-1

Amiodarone hydrochloride is currently the most widely used antiarrhythmic drug. In addition, amiodarone hydrochloride has become the first choice for long-term medication for patients with arrhythmia due to its stable curative effect and minor side effects. In today’s society, people’s work rhythm is constantly increasing, the pressure they face is increasing, the number of patients with cardiovascular diseases is increasing, the demand for anti-arrhythmic drugs is greatly increasing, and the market share of amiodarone hydrochloride is bound to continue to increase.
        2-Butyl-3-(4-hydroxybenzoyl)benzofuran is an important intermediate of amiodarone hydrochloride. Patent CN104262304 uses compounds 1 and 2 as starting materials, and the resulting compound 3 is reacted with sodium methoxide as a base and toluene as a solvent to form compound 5; compound 5 is reacted with compound 7 under Lewis acid conditions to form compound 8; compound 8 Hydrolyzed under Lewis acid conditions, the reaction produces 2-butyl-3-(4-hydroxybenzoyl)benzofuran 9.
         
        This synthetic route has the following shortcomings: Compound 3 can be directly obtained without hydrolysis under the condition of sodium methoxide as base and toluene as solvent. However, the difficulty of demethylation is much greater than that of decarboxylation, resulting in the formation of compound 5. The conversion rate of the cyclization reaction is low, the by-products are many, and the separation is difficult; resulting in low total yield and increased cost.
        The synthetic route reported in patent CN107382925, except that the route for preparing compound 5 from compound 3 is different, other reaction routes are the same, but the reaction conditions are different. In this reaction route, the aldehyde group of compound 3 is first protected with trimethyl orthoformate to produce compound 0, and then compound 0 is hydrolyzed to produce compound 4. Compound 4 is cyclized under the catalysis of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride to obtain compound 5.
         
        This route has the following disadvantages: when compound 3 is prepared to compound 5, trimethyl orthoformate is added to protect the aldehyde group, then the ester group is first hydrolyzed to form an acid, and then the protective group of the aldehyde group is removed; although side reactions of the aldehyde group can be reduced, but The reaction steps are added, and the trimethyl orthoformate is highly flammable and has potential safety hazards. The yield of compound 4 to compound 5 catalyzed by p-toluenesulfonyl chloride is low, and the cost is also increased.

Amiodarone (Amiodarone), also known as amiodarone, was first introduced as a coronary artery dilator, and Rosenbanm was the first to use it in the treatment of anti-arrhythmia in 1976. Amiodarone is extremely toxic. The lethal dose of intravenous injection is 10 times that of the therapeutic dose. The large oral lethal dose is negligible. Long-term larger doses are safe. Amiodarone hydrochloride (ADHC) is the hydrochloride of amiodarone, which was first marketed in Italy in 1984, and its structure is as follows:
         
        Amiodarone hydrochloride is a class III antiarrhythmic drug. It is mainly used clinically for supraventricular and ventricular tachyarrhythmias. It is also used for various organic heart diseases and acute coronary syndromes. It can be used as a symptomatic The first-line treatment of atrial fibrillation with left ventricular insufficiency or chronic heart failure. At present, it has become the drug of choice for the prevention of AMI with ventricular tachyarrhythmia, post-infarction ventricular arrhythmia, heart failure with arrhythmia, and sudden cardiac death.
        In the existing synthetic methods, amiodarone hydrochloride is all obtained by etherification and salt formation with 2-butyl-(4-hydroxy-3,5-diiodobenzoyl)benzofuran as the key intermediate. The structure of this key intermediate is as follows:
         
        As a key intermediate of amiodarone hydrochloride, its synthesis is relatively mature. The traditional synthetic route has been applied to industrial production. The route is as follows:
         
        This process has the following problems: 1. Long route, complicated steps, and various operations; 2. Low yield and high cost; 3. Many wastes and high waste liquid treatment cost. Therefore, this route is no longer suitable for the current industrial and environmental protection requirements, and more efficient and green methods need to be developed.
        Patent CN104262304 and CN1858042 improved the above synthesis method and developed a new synthesis method, the route is as follows:
         
        This method has been greatly improved compared with the earlier process, but the yield and purity of 2-butylbenzofuran prepared by the route method are low, which leads to a greatly reduced yield and purity of amiodarone hydrochloride. CN107382925 continues to improve the above process, and the purity and yield have increased, but column chromatography purification is required, which is not suitable for industrial large-scale production.

Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma  ..Encenicline-hydrochloride (EVP-6124) for Alzheimer’s disease by partner EnVivo Pharmaceuticals. Mitsubishi Tanabe has licensed EVP-6124 from EnVivo and is currently developing the drug under the code MT-4666.

The drug is a new alpha-7 potentiator intended to improve cognition in patients affected with Alzheimer’s disease. The drug is being tested in Phase III COGNITIV clinical trials in two categories: COGNITIV AD in patients with Alzheimer’s disease and COGNITIV CIAS in patients with cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia.

Alzheimer’s disease affects five million people in the U.S. alone, or one in eight Americans over the age of 65. The disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the country, with the number of affected patients expected to balloon to nearly triple by 2030. Alzheimer’s disease is a complex neurodegenerative disease that eventually leads to cellular loss and dysfunction in the brain resulting in decline of language skills and reasoning among others.

Phase III of COGNITIV AD clinical trial program involves about 1,600 patients with mild to moderate AD and who are presently receiving stable treatment with or have undergone previous acetylcholinesterase inhibitor treatment. The trials will be placebo-controlled, double-blind, and randomized. Patients in the trial will be randomized to receive either one of two doses of MT-4666 once daily against a placebo to assess safety and efficacy of the drug.

Chemical structure for W-5978

In the news release recently launched by EnVivo, CEO and president Deborah Dunsire said, “We are pleased to advance encenicline into Phase 3 clinical development in Alzheimer’s disease, a significant milestone for our company and promising step forward for patients who desperately need new therapies…Prior clinical studies of encenicline have demonstrated clinically significant improvements in cognitive function in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. For the millions of patients living with AD, we believe encenicline has the potential to make a meaningful difference.”

Encenicline hydrochloride is a partial, selective agonist of the α-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7-nAChR). It is being developed for the treatment of cognitive deficits in schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease. Cholinergic function declines in Alzheimer’s, and currently approved acetylcholinesterase inhibitor therapies modestly improve cognitive deficits in patients with AD by way of boosting cholinergic transmission. The rationale of selective α7-nAChR agonists is that they will enhance cognition without causing side effects associated with overactivation of other nAChRs such as α4β2, or muscarinic AChRs. In rats, encenicline penetrates the blood-brain barrier and improves memory performance by potentiating the acetylcholine response. Encenicline has been reported to act as a co-agonist with acetylcholine. It sensitizes the α-7 nACh receptor to its natural ligand and renders sub-efficacious doses of AChEI drugs effective in restoring memory function in an object recognition task (Prickaerts et al., 2012).

 Chemical structure for EVP-6124

This compound was originally developed at Bayer Healthcare and then licensed to Envivo Pharmaceuticals, which subsequently licensed development in Asia to Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation. Envivo then changed its name to FORUM Pharmaceuticals Inc.

Encenicline is being tested in Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia. In Alzheimer’s, an ascending-dose Phase 1/2 study showed 0.1 to 1 mg/day of EVP-6124 to be safe and well-tolerated when given to 49 people with mild to moderate AD for 28 days. No serious side effects were reported. Secondary efficacy endpoints suggested that EVP-6124 given in addition to therapy with the acetyl cholinesterase inhibitors donepezil or rivastigmine appeared to improve attention, verbal fluency, and executive function as measured on  tests in the CogState or NTB batteries (see conference news story). This study has posted results on clinicaltrials.gov.

A 24-week Phase 2 trial conducted in 409 people with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease in the United States and Eastern Europe compared 0.3, 1, and 2 mg of EVP-6124 per day to placebo, measuring cognition with ADAS-Cog as the primary outcome plus cognitive, functional, and psychiaric secondary outcomes. EVP 6124 was given as adjunct therapy to donepezil or rivastigmine. This trial was reported to have met its primary and most secondary endpoints, showing that people on the highest dose improved over baseline. EVP-6124 dose-dependently improved measures of attention, verbal and language fluency, and executive function. In this trial, all treatment groups initially improved, possibly due to a placebo effect, but by 12 weeks the groups separated and the placebo and low-dose groups declined (see conference news story). EVP-6124 was well-tolerated.

Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation is conducting a Phase 2 trial for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease in Japan.

In October 2013, two international Phase 3 trials began enrolling what are to be 790 patients in each trial with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s who are already taking an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. The trials will compare two fixed, undisclosed add-on doses of EVP-6124 to placebo, all given as once-daily tablets for six months, for cognitive benefit as measured by the ADAS-Cog, clinical benefit as measured by the Clinical Dementia Rating Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB), as well as for safety and tolerability. Called COGNITIV AD, this Phase 3 program is is set to run through 2016.

For schizophrenia, a Phase 1 study comparing 0.3 and 1 mg/day of EVP-6124 to placebo in 28 people with the disease gave preliminary evidence for the compound’s safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics in this population. In addition, the compound yielded signals of bioactivity in the brain by way of EEG tests of evoked potentials, a measure of sensory gating affected in this disease. See study results on clinicaltrials.gov.

A subsequent 12-week Phase 2 trial compared 0.3 and 1 mg/day of EVP-6124 to placebo in 317 people with schizophrenia and measured safety and the compound’s efficacy on cognitive function. As presented at the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology meeting held in Hawaii December 2011, EVP 6124 met its primary endpoint of improvement on the CogState overall cognition index. The study also met secondary endpoints, showing improvement in clinical function as assessed by the Schizophrenia Cognition Rating Scale, and a decrease in negative symptoms (See company press release).

Two six-month, 700-patient Phase 3 studies, plus a six-month extention study, are ongoing. For all clinical trials of encenicline, see clincialtrials.gov.

    Quarfloxin, also known as Quarfloxacin and CX-3543, is a fluoroquinolone derivative with antineoplastic activity. Quarfloxin disrupts the interaction between the nucleolin protein and a G-quadruplex DNA structure in the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) template, a critical interaction for rRNA biogenesis that is overexpressed in cancer cells; disruption of this G-quadruplex DNA:protein interaction in aberrant rRNA biogenesis may result in the inhibition of ribosome synthesis and tumor cell apoptosis.

    CX-3543, developed at Cylene Pharmaceuticals, is a multi-targeting oncogene inhibitor evaluated in phase II clinical studies for the treatment of low or intermediate grade neuroendocrine carcinoma, including carcinoid and islet cell cancer. In 2008, a trial for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) was withdrawn prior to patient enrollment. In 2010, phase I clinical studies for the treatment of solid tumors and for the treatment of lymphoma were terminated upon observation that the modified dose schedule presented no advantage over previously studies schedule solid tumors.

    CX-3543 was developed using the company’s Quadruplex Targeting technology which is based on quadruplex motifs in genomic DNA that regulate the expression of clusters of key oncogenes but not normal cellular genes. In 2013, the product was licensed to TetraGene by Cylene Pharmaceuticals on an exclusive, worldwide basis for development for the treatment of cancer. Cylene ceased operations in 2013.

    Chemical structure for Itarnafloxin

    Clinical trial news:  Quarfloxin is a ground-breaking small-molecule targeted cancer therapeutic derived from the validated fluoroquinolone class of drugs. Rationally designed to selectively inhibit ribosomal RNA (rRNA) biogenesis in cancer cells, quarfloxin disrupts the interaction between the Nucleolin protein and a G-quadruplex DNA structure in the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) template, a critical interaction for rRNA biogenesis and one that is amplified in cancer cells. As a result, quarfloxin selectively induces apoptotic cell death in cancers. Many commercialized cancer therapeutics act indirectly on rRNA Biogenesis through upstream modulators, but quarfloxin is the first agent to directly target this cancer-specific aberrant cell function. According to  news released on June 19, 2011, Cylene Pharmaceuticals announced the initiation of a Phase II clinical trial of quarfloxin (CX-3543) in patients with carcinoid/neuroendocrine tumors (C/NET), which are malignant cancers arising from neural crest cells.

    Cylene Pharmaceuticals today announced the initiation of a Phase II clinical trial of quarfloxin (CX-3543) in patients with carcinoid/neuroendocrine tumors (C/NET), which are malignant cancers arising from neural crest cells.

    “Quarfloxin (CX-3543) is a small molecule that disrupts a protein:rDNA complex that forms in the abnormal nucleoli of cancer cells, thereby selectively inducing apoptotic cell death in cancers,” said Dr. William Rice, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cylene Pharmaceuticals. “Many commercialized cancer therapeutics act on or through the nucleolus, but quarfloxin is the first agent designed to directly target a key function within the nucleolus. Quarfloxin has been well tolerated in humans and has demonstrated signs of biological benefit for patients with C/NET in Phase I clinical trials. Moreover, biodistribution studies revealed that quarfloxin accumulates in the tissues in which C/NET arise.”

    In this open-label Phase II trial, quarfloxin will be administered to patients with low or intermediate grade C/NET, including those receiving concomitant treatment with a stable dose of octreotide. This multi-centered study will include an assessment of improvements in patients’ symptoms and biochemical markers, in addition to RECIST tumor response measurements. The first patient was enrolled and treated at Front Range Cancer Specialists in Fort Collins, CO under the care of Robert Marschke Jr., M.D. This study is expected to enroll up to 25 patients at several leading cancer centers.

    “The initiation of this Phase II trial with quarfloxin is a major milestone for Cylene, but more importantly, we hope that quarfloxin will be an effective treatment for cancer patients with limited therapeutic alternatives,” added Dr. Daniel Von Hoff, Cylene’s Co-Founder and Vice President, Medical Affairs. “Quarfloxin has demonstrated potent in vivo efficacy against a broad range of tumors and a considerable therapeutic window in preclinical antitumor models, and has a unique profile of concentrating in neural crest tissues. For these reasons, we are enthusiastic about offering a Phase II clinical trial for patients with carcinoid/neuroendocrine tumors.”

    To a series of solutions of the fluoroacid (0.5 mmol) in NMP (3.6 mL) was added the amines NHR1R2 (0.5-2.0 mmol) at room temperature. The vessels were sealed and heated on a 90° C. hotplate with constant stirring for 1-2 hours until the reactions were determined to be complete by HPLC/MS analysis. The reaction mixtures were allowed to cool to room temperature and water was added (20 mL). The resulting precipitates were collected by vacuum filtration and dried under vacuum. In cases where 1.0 equivalent of amine was used, the resulting reaction mixtures were used in the next step “as is.” The resulting solids or solutions were treated with HBTU (2.5 eq.) and DIEA in 3.6 mL NMP and allowed to stir for 30 minutes at room temperature under an inert atmosphere. These solutions were added to a series of amines NHR3R4 (2.5 equivalents) in a 96 well format (Whatman Uniplate, 2 mL) and allowed to react for 2 hours. Methanol was then added (50-100 μL) and the plate was filtered (Whatman Unifilter Polypropylene). The resulting liquids were directly chromatographed on reverse HPLC (Waters Xterra 19×50 mm) with mass directed collection (Micromass ZQ, Waters FCII). The fractions were analyzed for purity (MS TIC, UV) and dried by vacuum evaporation (Savant) with an average yield of 5-10 mg). Examples of substituted quinobenzoxazines analogs are described in Table 1.

    Example 48Synthesis of CX-3092 and CX-3543

    One method for synthesizing CX-3543 is shown below. As shown in Scheme 2, CX-3543 is synthesized in a convergent manner, assembling the substructures 1, 1A and 2A in the final two synthetic steps (Scheme 2), to form CX-3543 having a 50:50 ratio of RS and SS isomers. CX-3092 may be synthesized in a similar manner using a non-chiral form of 1A.

    In more detail, pyrazinopyrrolidine 1A is synthesized via a [3+2] cycloaddition chemistry. Conversion of L-proline 7 to cyano-1-aminopyrrolidine 8 without loss of stereochemistry, followed by reduction provides the chiral 2-aminoethyl-1-methylpyrrolidine 2A in high yield. CX-3543 was found to have a formulated solubility of approximately 20 mg/mL.

    The present disclosure provides an improved method of treating cancer using a combination of a G-quadruplex-interactive compound that binds to G- quadruplexes in rDNA to release the nucleolin already bound to these G- quadruplexes together with a PARP inhibitor. This results in an increase in apoptosis in cancer cells. The PARP inhibitor can be administered to a patient (human or animal) in need of cancer treatment simultaneously or from 0.1 to 24 hours prior to or 0.1 to 24 after the administration of the G-quadruplex-interactive agent that releases the nucleolin bound to the G-quadruplex and triggers enhanced apoptosis of cancer cells, or the PARP inhibitor and the enhancer of nucleolin binding can be administered simultaneously, with each agent being administered in an amount sufficient to inhibit the growth and/or cell division of cancer (neoplastic) cells, and preferably to cause cancer cell death. In the methods provided herein, the PARP inhibitor can be benzamide (as specifically exemplified) or it can be 3- benzamide, 3-methoxybenzamide, carba-NAD+, nicotinamide, a dihydroisoquinolinone, an isoquinolinone such as 5-methyl-dihydroisoquinolinone, a benzimidazole-4-carboxamide, a 2-aryl-benzimidazole-4-carboxamide, a benzoxazole-4-carboxamide, an N,N-dimethylaminomethyl, pyrrolidinomethyl or bis- benzamide derivative, for example 1 ,5-di(3- carbamoylphenyl)aminocarbonyloxy)pentane, a phthalazinone, a quinazolinone, an isoindolinone, a phenanthhdinone, among others. The G-quadruplex-interactive agent that releases nucleolin from the rDNA bound to the G-quadruplexes and triggers apoptosis of cancer cells is desirably a substituted quinobenzoxazine analog; in an embodiment of the invention, it is CX-3543

    Figure imgf000003_0001

    (see also US Patent Publication 2006-0029950, which is incorporated by reference herein). This combination chemotherapy can be administered in a single dose, or it can be administered at intervals chosen by a medical or veterinary practitioner.

    [0003] The present disclosure further provides compositions comprising a PARP inhibitor and a G-quadruplex-interactive compound that triggers the release of nucleolin from the G-quadruplexes in the rDNA and triggers apoptosis of cancer cells. The compositions desirably further comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, especially one which is compatible with intravenous administration in human patients. In an embodiment of the invention, the composition comprises benzamide and CX-3543.

    Abstract Image

    Nowadays, it has been demonstrated that DNA G-quadruplex arrangements are involved in cellular aging and cancer, thus boosting the discovery of selective binders for these DNA secondary structures. By taking advantage of available structural and biological information on these structures, we performed a high throughput in silico screening of commercially available molecules databases by merging ligand- and structure-based approaches by means of docking experiments. Compounds selected by the virtual screening procedure were then tested for their ability to interact with the human telomeric G-quadruplex folding by circular dichroism, fluorescence spectroscopy, and photodynamic techniques. Interestingly, our screening succeeded in retrieving a new promising scaffold for G-quadruplex binders characterized by a psoralen moiety.

    In a move that raises questions about the future of drug research in India, Piramal Enterprises will end its drug discovery activities. The decision—which involves possible job losses—will affect several hundred scientists, many of whom were recruited internationally to work in Mumbai in one of India’s most sophisticated pharmaceutical labs.
    The company has been considered an Indian leader in drug research since opening its discovery labs in 2004. Within the firm, drug discovery was championed by the vice chairman, Swati A. Piramal, a medical doctor who also holds a master’s degree from the Harvard School of Public Health.
    “After reevaluating the risk-benefits of new chemical entity research, the company decided to focus resources on our other areas of R&D with shorter development timelines and different risk profiles,” Piramal tells C&EN.

    Piramal Enterprises, which sold off its domestic formulations business to Abbott in a multi-billion dollar deal a few years ago, is now shutting down its Mumbai-based R&D unit which would in effect bring to an end its early stage drug discovery business.

    Separate media reports, citing Swati Piramal, part of the promoter group of the diversified firm and wife of group chief Ajay Piramal, said, the decision to move away from the drug discovery business was taken given the costs of basic research.

    The company would now focus on molecules at an advanced stage of development; resources would be redeployed from basic research to the clinical unit.

    Its other research facilities are located in Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Indore, which would continue to be functional.

    Although Piramal Enterprises retains its exposure to healthcare as a sector, after selling the key pharma business, it is now more associated with financial services, including investments in infrastructure and real estate sectors.

    In an unrelated development, the firm is forming a joint venture with Navin Fluorine International Limited, an Arvind Mafatlal Group company, to develop, manufacture and sell specialty fluorochemicals with a focus on applications in healthcare, according to a company release.

    As per the agreement, Piramal Enterprises will hold 51 per cent of the equity share capital of the proposed joint venture company, whereas the remaining 49 per cent will be held by Navin.

    In the first phase of development, the JV is expected to invest around Rs 120 crore in India for this project.

    Mumbai-based Navin Fluorine has a turnover of around $100 million. It specialises in specialty fluorine. It had acquired UK-based Manchester Organics, a specialty fluorochemicals research company in 2011.

    Lapatinib (INN), used in the form of lapatinib ditosylate, (USAN) (Tykerb/Tyverb, GSK) is an orally active drug for breast cancerand other solid tumours.[1] It is a dual tyrosine kinase inhibitor which interrupts the HER2/neu and epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) pathways.[2] It is used in combination therapy for HER2-positive breast cancer. It is used for the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer whose tumors overexpress HER2 (ErbB2).[3]

    Status

    On March 13, 2007, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved lapatinib in combination therapy for breast cancer patients already using capecitabine (Xeloda, Roche).[2][3] In January 2010, Tykerb received accelerated approval for the treatment of postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive metastatic breast cancer that overexpresses the HER2 receptor and for whom hormonal therapy is indicated.[3]

    Pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) markets the drug under the propriety names Tykerb (mostly US) and Tyverb (mostly Europe).[4] The drug currently has approval for sale and clinical use in the US,[2][4] Australia,[2] Bahrain,[2] Kuwait,[2] Venezuela,[2]Brazil,[5] New Zealand,[5][6] South Korea,[5] Switzerland,[4] Japan, Jordan, the European Union, Lebanon, India and Pakistan.[4]

    On the 2nd of August 2013, India’s Intellectual Property Appellate Board revoked the patent for Glaxo’s Tykerb citing its derivative status, while upholding at the same time the original patent granted for Lapatinib.[7]

    The drug lapatinib ditosylate is classified as S/NM (a synthetic compound showing competitive inhibition of the natural product) that is naturally derived or inspired substrate (Gordon M. Cragg, Paul G. Grothaus, and David J. Newman, Impact of Natural Products on Developing New Anti-Cancer Agents, Chem. Rev. 2009, 109, 3012–3043)

    Lapatinib ditosylate, an ErB-1 and ErB-2 dual kinase inhibitor, was launched in the U.S. in 2007 for the treatment of advanced or metastatic HER2 (ErbB2) positive breast cancer in women who have received prior therapy, including Herceptin(R) (trastuzumab), in combination with Xeloda(R) (capecitabine). The compound was approved in 2007 in Switzerland and Australia and in 2009 in Canada, for this indication. Regulatory approval has also been obtained in Japan. In December 2007, a positive opinion was received in the E.U. In 2008, the CHMP issued a revised positive opinion confirming the positive benefit-risk profile for lapatinib following review by the CHMP of new data received in February 2008 from GlaxoSmithKline arising from a standard pharmacovigilance evaluation of clinical trial and post-marketing data. The CHMP confirmed that these data do not essentially change the positive benefit-risk profile for lapatinib in its proposed indication. In 2008, the MAA was approved in the E.U. and the product was subsequently commercialized in Germany. In 2009, regulatory applications were filed in the U.S. and the E.U. seeking approval for use of lapatinib as first-line treatment of patients with hormone-sensitive, metastatic (or advanced) breast cancer in combination with anti-hormonal therapy. In 2010, lapatinib was launched on the U.S. market as first-line treatment in combination with Femara(R) to treat hormone positive and HER2-positive advanced breast cancer in postmenopausal women for whom hormonal therapy is indicated. In 2010, the compound was approved and launched in the E.U. for the oral treatment of post-menopausal women with hormone receptor-positive, HER2 (ErbB2) over-expressing metastatic breast cancer and for whom chemotherapy is currently not intended, in combination with an aromatase inhibitor. In 2012, GlaxoSmithKline filed regulatory applications in the U.S. and the E.U. for the oral treatment of patients with HER2 (ErbB2)-positive metastatic breast cancer that has progressed on prior trastuzumab regimens, in combination with trastuzumab. In July 2012, GlaxoSmithKline withdrew this application in the U.S. In 2013, the product was approved for this indication in the E.U.

    In terms of clinical development, the National Cancer Institute (US) is currently conducting phase II/III trials for the treatment of bladder cancer. Phase III trials are under way to evaluate the use of lapatinib as first-line treatment of breast cancer. The compound is also being evaluated for several oncologic indications in the treatment of brain, gallbladder, prostate, ovary, endometrium, bladder cancer, cervical and hepatobiliary cancers in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Lapatinib in combination with everolimus is also in early clinical studies for the treatment of lymphoma and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). A phase II combination trial is evaluating lapatinib for the treatment of advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is developing the compound in phase II trials for the treatment of peritoneal cancer, ovarian and ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast (DCIS), while Brown University is conducting combination trials with gemcitabine for the treatment of pancreas metastatic cancer, and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center is conducting phase II clinical trials for treatment for pituitary cancer. Phase III clinical study for the treatment of head and neck was terminated because the study didn´t meet primary endpoint.

    Lapatinib was granted fast-track status by the FDA in 2005 for the treatment of refractory advanced or metastatic breast cancer patients who have documented ErbB-2 overexpression and who have failed previous therapy. In 2009, Orphan Drug Designation was received in the U.S. by GlaxoSmithKline for the treatment of ErbB2 positive gastric cancer and for the treatment of ErbB2 positive esophageal cancer.

    Breast cancer

    Lapatinib is used as a treatment for women’s breast cancer in treatment naive, ER+/EGFR+/HER2+ breast cancer patients(now often called “triple positive”) and in patients who have HER2-positive advanced breast cancer that has progressed after previous treatment with other chemotherapeutic agents, such as anthracycline, taxane-derived drugs, or trastuzumab (Herceptin, Genentech).

    A 2006 GSK-supported randomized clinical trial on female breast cancer previously being treated with those agents (anthracycline, a taxane and trastuzumab) demonstrated that administrating lapatinib in combination with capecitabine delayed the time of further cancer growth compared to regimens that use capecitabine alone. The study also reported that risk of disease progression was reduced by 51%, and that the combination therapy was not associated with increases in toxic side effects.[11] The outcome of this study resulted in a somewhat complex and rather specific initial indication for lapatinib—use only in combination with capecitabine for HER2-positive breast cancer in women whose cancer have progressed following previous chemotherapy with anthracycline, taxanes and trastuzumab.

    BACKGROUND ART

    Lapatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is used as an orally administered drug as its ditosylate salt to treat certain types of advanced or metastatic breast cancer and other solid tumors. Lapatinib ditosylate was approved by the FDA in 2007 and the EMEA in 2008 and is marketed by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) under the trade name of Tykerb® in the USA and Tyverb® in Europe.

    Lapatinib substance is claimed in US 6,713,485 B2 and US 6,727,256 Bl and lapatinib ditosylate and its crystalline forms are claimed in US 7,157,466 B2. A synthesis of lapatinib that utilises a palladium mediated coupling of a substituted 4-anilino-6-iodo-quinazoline (II) with a 2- (tributylstannyl)furan (Ilia) is disclosed in US 6,727,256 Bl and is also presented in US 7,157,466 B2. In US 7,157,466 B2 a second generation approach was disclosed that utilises a palladium catalysed coupling of a substituted 4-anilino-6-iodo-quinazoline (II) with furan-2-yl-boronic acids (Illb). Following the palladium catalysed coupling reactions utilised in the two synthetic methods of US 6,727,256 Bl and US 7,157,466 B2, only one (US 7,157,466 B2) or two (US 6,727,256 Bl and US 7,157,466 B2) synthetic modification of the structure are utilised before the lapatinib substance is provided (Scheme 1). The EMEA’s COMMITTEE FOR MEDICINAL PRODUCTS FOR HUMAN USE (CHMP) has published guidelines titled GUIDELINE ON THE SPECIFICATION LIMITS FOR RESIDUES OF METAL CATALYSTS OR METAL REAGENTS and recommendations are presented for oral exposure to metals, including palladium. For a drug being consumed in quantities not exceeding a 10 g daily dose, a limit of 10 ppm (parts per million) concentration of palladium in the drug substance is recommended. Given this, there is still an unmet need for an alternative synthetic method that can be used for preparation of lapatinib in which the palladium mediated coupling step is performed early in the synthetic route, thereby being capable to provide .

    SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

    There are a number of ways that the levels of a metal, such as palladium, can be controlled in a drug substance through purging of the metal by treatment of the drug substance or its synthetic intermediates or both, including crystallisation, aqueous extraction, filtration through metal absorbent filter aids (Organic Process Research & Development 2005, 9, 198-205), precipitation of the metal from solution, chromatography, and treatment with metal scavenging reagents (Organic Process Research & Development 2003, 7, 733-742). By placing the palladium mediated coupling step downstream in the synthetic route, however, to take advantage of synthetic convergence, the opportunity to reduce the level of palladium in the drug substance is reduced. In contrast, however, by redesigning the synthetic route to move the palladium mediated coupling step upstream, further away from the drug substance, increases the opportunity to control the palladium level in the drug substance. Furthermore, by careful operational design (such as in a precipitation and crystallisation step), the palladium level in the intermediates can be consistently controlled. Given that there is a need, the present invention has addressed these two latter points and utilised them in a novel and efficient process for the manufacture of lapatinib and lapatinib ditosylate.

    Scheme 2 – Synthesis of lapatinib and lapatinib ditosylate

    In contrast to the prior art methods disclosure in US 6,727,256 Bl and US 7,157,466 B2, the present invention has performed a transition metal catalysed coupling reaction at the most upstream point in the synthetic route based on the utilization of commercially available starting materials SMla (6-iodoquinazolin-4(3H)-one) and SM2a (5-formylfuran-2-ylboronic acid), or their analogues SMI and SM2, to provide IM1. Thus, in one aspect of the present invention, lapatinib is made from a novel compound (IM1) (Scheme 2).

    In another aspect of the present invention, a lapatinib ditosylate monohydrate is prepared by crystallizing lapatinib ditosylate in a mixture of water, DMSO and MeCN.

    In another aspect of the present invention, novel compound IM1 is synthesized by the cross- coupling of commercially available SMla and SM2a, or their analogues SMI and SM2, in suitable solvents comprised of an organic solvent and water in the presence of a base and a catalyst formed from a transition metal and a ligand (scheme 3).

    GlaxoSmithKline’s lapatinib (3.38, Tykerb) is a novel dual kinase inhibitor used in the treatment of solid tumors such as those found in breast cancer and contains a quinazoline core structure. It consists of a 2,5-disubstituted furan ring, which is directly linked to the aminoquinazoline unit (Scheme 41). The quinazoline heterocycle was prepared starting from 5-iodoanthranilic acid (3.72) via initial condensation with formamidine acetate (3.73) followed by chlorination using oxalyl chloride or phosphorous oxychloride [101]. Performing a nucleophilic aromatic substitution on the chloride 3.74 with aniline 3.75renders the extended core of lapatinib. This intermediate (3.76) was then coupled with 5-formyl-2-furanoboronic acid (3.77) using standard Suzuki cross-coupling conditions. Finally, a reductive amination of the pendant aldehyde of3.78 with 2-(methylsulfonyl)ethylamine (3.79) furnishes the desired product lapatinib (Scheme 41).

    Lapatinib of Formula-(II), was first disclosed by SmithKline Beecham in US Patent No. 6,727,256.

    Figure imgf000002_0001

    The process for the preparation of Lapatinib of Formula-(II), disclosed in W099/35146, is given in the Scheme-I. Accordingly, 4-chloro-6-iodo-quinazoline of Formula-(IV), is reacted with 3-chloro-4-(3′-fluoro-benzyloxy)-aniline yielding N-[3- chloro-4-{(3′-fluorobenzyloxy) phenyl} ]-6-iodo-quinazoline of Formula-( l). The compound of the Formula-(l) reacts with 5-(l,3-dioxolan-2-yl)-2-(tributylstannyl)furan to get the compound of Formula-(2) which on deprotection with HC1, removes the 1,3- dioxolan-2-yl protecting group and liberates 5-(4-{3-chloro-4-(3-fluoro- benzyloxy)anilino}-6- quinazolinyl)-furan-2-carbaldehyde of Formula-(3). The compound of the Formula-(3) on reaction with 2-methanesulfonylethylamine, followed by reductive amination using sodium (triacetoxy)borohydride as the reducing agent gives the required compound Lapatinib of Formula-(II) as an organic residue, which is purified by column chromatography and subsequently converted into its hydrochloride salt (5).

    Figure imgf000003_0001

    Subsequently, US 7, 157,466 also discloses the preparation of Lapatinib and its ditosylate salt, which is given in Scheme-II.

    Lapatinib ditosylate has been prepared by reacting the tosylate salt of 5-(4-[3- chloro-4-(3-fluorobenzyloxy)-anilino]-6-quinazolinyl)-furan-2-carbaldehyde of Formula (3) with 2-(methylsulfonyl)ethylamine in the presence of base (diisopropyl- ethylamine) followed by reduction with sodium triacetoxyborohydride to obtain Lapatinib base which is converted to Lapatinib ditosylate anhydrate by adding para- toulenesulfonic acid. Conversion to Lapatinib ditosylate monohydrate is carried out using THF/H20. Intercon vers ion to the anhydrate of the ditosylate salt and back to monohydrate is carried out with methanol and water respectively.

    WO201 1039759, filed by Natco Pharma also describes a process for the preparation of Lapatinib from 2-amino benzonitrile, as given in scheme-Ill. Firstly, 2- aminobenzonitrile (6) is reacted with iodine monochloride in acetic acid medium to form compound of Formula (7) which is recrystallized from mixture of hexane and toluene. The compound of Formula (1) is reacted with N,N-dimethylformamide dimethy|acetal in an organic solvent such as toluene or xylene to form novel compound of Formula (8). The compound of Formula (7) is then coupled with compound of Formula (8) in presence of acid catalyst such as trifluoroacetic acid, formic acid or acetic acid to form compound of Formula (3). The compound of Formula (3) is the subjected to Suzuki coupling with 5-formyl-2-furyl boronic acid in ethereal solvent in the presence of catalyst selected from palladium (II) acetate, palladium (II) chloride, and palladium on carbon to form aldehyde compound of Formula (4). The compound of Formula (4) is reacted with 2-methanesulphonyl ethylamine or its salt to produce imine compound of Formula (VI) which is reduced with sodium borohydride to form Lapatinib base (II). The crude Lapatinib base is purified by crystallization from organic solvents. The purified Lapatinib base is converted into Lapatinib ditosylate anhydrous by treating Lapatinib base in organic solvent with /7-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate which is then recrystallized from aqueous alcohol to produce pharmaceutically acceptable Lapatinib ditosylate monohydrate. The process is depicted in Scheme-Ill.

    Lapatinib (II) WO2010017387, filed by Teva relates to Lapatinib intermediates and process for the preparation of Lapatinib base and Lapatinib ditosylate. The application relates to highly pure intermediate of Formula (2), 3-chloro-4-(3-fluorobenzyloxy)aniline which is prepared by reducing a compound of Formula (1), 3-chloro-4-(3- fluorobenzyloxy)nitrobenzene, with iron and ammonium chloride system in the presence of a C1 -C4 alcohol and water at refluxing temperature. The application also relates to highly pure intermediate of Formula (3), N-[3-chloro-4-(3-fluorobenzyloxy)- phenyl]-6-iodoquinazolin-4-amine, which is prepared in one-pot process from compound of Formula (1 ) by reduction using iron and ammonium chloride system in presence of C1 -C4 alcohol and water. The compound of Formula (3) is reacted with 5- formyl-2-furanboronic acid in the presence of a palladium catalyst and a base in a polar organic solvent to obtain Lapatinib aldehyde base, compound of Formula (4). Optionally, Lapatinib aldehyde base is combined with /? oluenesulfonic acid to obtain Lapatinib aldehyde monotosylate, compound of Formula (5). The invention further provides a process for the preparation of Lapatinib base. Lapatinib aldehyde base or its salt is combined with methylsulfonylethylamine or its hydrochloride salt, acetic acid, an inorganic base in an organic solvent and a reducing agent (sodium triacetoxyborohydride) to form Lapatinib base. Lapatinib base is further purified by using organic solvents. Lapatinib base obtained is further converted to Lapatinib ditosylate. The process is depicted in scheme-IV.

    The compound of formula (II), i.e., N-{3-Chloro-4-[(3-fluorobenzyl) oxy]phenyl}-6-[5-({[2-(methanesulphonyl) ethyl]amino}methyl)-2-furyl]-4-quinazolinamine ditosylate has been prepared in two distinct forms, an anhydrate form (Formula II′ in Scheme B) and a monohydrate form (Formula II″ in Scheme B). The relationship of these forms is illustrated in Scheme B below. The anhydrate form of N-{3-Chloro-4-[(3-fluorobenzyl) oxy]phenyl}-6-[5-({[2-(methanesulphonyl)ethyl]amino}methyl)-2-furyl]-4-quinazolinamine ditosylate may be prepared by (a) reacting the tosylate salt of 5-(4-[3-chloro-4-(3-fluorobenzyloxy)-anilino]-6-quinazolinyl)-furan-2-carbaldehyde (formula B in Scheme B) with 2-(methylsulfone)ethylamine in tetrahydrofuran in the presence of diisopropyl-ethylamine followed by (b) the introduction of this solution into to a slurry of sodium triacetoxyborohydride in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature, (c) adding 5N sodium hydroxide to adjust the pH to within a range of 10–11, (d) separating the organic tetrahydrofuran phase, and then (e) adding para-toulenesulfonic acid hydrate to the organic phase to provide the ditosylate anhydrate. Interconversion to the monohydrate and back to the anhydrate of the ditosylate salt compounds of the invention is as depicted in Scheme B. The tosylate salt of 5-(4-[3-chloro-4-(3-fluorobenzyloxy)-anilino]-6-quinazolinyl)-furan-2-carbaldehyde is prepared from the HCl salt of the carbaldehyde (Formula A of Scheme B). Preparation of N-{3-Chloro-4-[(3-fluorobenzyl) oxy]phenyl}-6-[5-({[2-(methanesulphonyl)ethyl]amino}methyl)-2-furyl]-4-quinazolinamine ditosylate and the anhydrate and monohydrate forms thereof are utilized as an example. As recognized by those skilled in the art, other compounds of formula I and anhydrate and hydrate forms thereof may be prepared by similar methods.

    Compound A of Scheme B may be prepared by various synthetic strategies, other that the strategy recited in Scheme A above, utilizing the palladium(O) mediated coupling of quinazoline and substituted furan intermediates.

    Example 8

    Preparation of N-{3-Chloro-4-[(3-fluorobenzyl) oxy]phenyl}-6-[5-({[2-(methanesulphonyl)ethyl]amino}methyl)-2-furyl]-4-quinazolinamine ditosylate anhydrate (Anhydrate Form of Compound of Formula II)

    To a 20 L reactor was added 13.3 vol of THF followed by 0.62 wt (2.93 mol) of NaBH(OAc)3. The 20 L reactor was set to maintain contents at 20° C. A second 20 L reactor was charged with 1000 grams, (1.55 mol) of 5-(4-[3-chloro-4-(3-fluorobenzyloxy)-anilino]-6-quinazolinyl)-furan-2-carbaldehyde 4-methyl benzenesulfonate prepared by the procedure of Example 7 and 6.7 vol of THF. To the THF solution of 5-(4-[3-chloro-4-(3-fluorobenzyloxy)-anilino]-6-quinazolinyl)-furan-2-carbaldehyde 4-methylbenzenesulfonate was added 0.325 vol (1.86 mol) diisopropylethylamine followed by 0.32 wt of 2-(methylsulfone)ethylamine, (321 g, 2.6 mol) and 0.15 vol of IPA. After 1 hour, the preformed imine/THF solution was transferred by vacuum to the stirred suspension of NaBH(OAC)3 in the first 20 L reactor over 10 minutes. After 90 minutes, 4 vol of 5N NaOH was added over 40 min via a pump. This solution was allowed to stir for 15 minutes after which the stirrer was switched off and the layers were allowed to separate. The aqueous layer was drained from the bottom of the reactor and the organic layer transferred to the empty 20 L reactor through a teflon-lined stainless steel jacketed transfer hose outfitted with an in-line 0.45 μm filter. To this solution was added a 2 vol THF solution of 4 wt (1180 g, 6.2 mole) of p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate over 5 min. A yellowish precipitate was observed to come out of solution and this was allowed to stir at room temperature for 12 hours. The reaction was drained from the bottom of the reactor and filtered through a ceramic filter lined with paper. The yellow filter cake was washed with 1 vol of a 95:5 THF water solution and allowed to air dry overnight. After suctioning dry for 12 hours, the yellow filter cake was transferred to two glass trays and placed in the drying oven (42° C.) under house vacuum (18 in Hg) with a nitrogen bleed. The two glass trays were removed from the oven and allowed to cool to room temperature and sampled accordingly. The isolated yield of N-{3-Chloro-4-[(3-fluorobenzyl) oxy]phenyl}-6-[5-({[2-(methane-sulphonyl)ethyl]amino}methyl)-2-furyl]-4-quinazolinamine ditosylate (anhydrate) was 1264 grams (1.3 wt, 88%; 1443 g Th) and was a yellow solid.

    Approximately 50 mg of the product was transferred to a Karl Fisher Volumetric Moisture Apparatus (model DL35, Mettler, Hightstown, N.J.), which was operated according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The anhydrate water content was determined to be 0.31%.

    Example 10Preparation of N-{3-Chloro-4-[(3-fluorobenzyl) oxy]phenyl}-6-[5-({[2-(methanesulphonyl)ethyl]amino}methyl)-2-furyl]-4-quinazolinamine ditosylate monohydrate (Monohydrate Form of Compound of Formula II)

    A 20 L reactor was charged with 1 wt (930 g, 1.0 mol) of N-{3-Chloro-4-[(3-fluorobenzyl) oxy]phenyl}-6-[5-({[2-(methanesulphonyl)ethyl]amino}methyl)-2-furyl]-4-quinazolinamine ditosylate anhydrate prepared using the procedure of Example 8. To this was added 10 volumes of a pre-mixed 8:2 THF:deionized water solution and the reactor was heated to 65° C. Complete dissolution was observed at 50° C. The clear reaction mixture was transferred to another 20 L reactor through a stainless steel jacketed transfer hose that was equipped with an in-line 5.0 μm cartridge filter. The empty 20 L reactor and the filter line were washed with 0.2 vol of the pre-mixed 8:2 THF:deionized water solution. An additional 1 vol of pre-mixed 8:2 THF:deionized water solution was used to wash the material into the reaction mixture. The 20 L reactor was heated to ˜80° C. The reaction temperature was then ramped down to 55° C. over 2 hours and then to 45° C. over 10 hours. After 10 hours, the temperature was adjusted to 25° C. and the reaction mixture allowed to stir at room temperature for 45 minutes. The yellow precipitate was drained from the bottom of the 20 L reactor into a ceramic filter lined with paper. The flow was fast and smooth and the filter rate very good. The yellow filter cake was washed with 0.6 volumes of a pre-mixed 8:2 THF:deionized water solution and the yellow solid was air dried for 4 hours and placed into a glass tray. The glass tray was placed in a vacuum oven under house vacuum (˜18 in Hg) at 60° C. with a nitrogen bleed for 2 days. After removal from the oven, the material was sampled accordingly. The yield was 743 grams (0.8 wt, 80%; 930 g th) as a bright yellow, crystalline solid.

    Approximately 50 mg of the product was transferred to a Karl Fisher Volumetric Moisture Apparatus (model DL35, Mettler, Hightstown, N.J.), which was operated according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The monohydrate water content was determined to be 1.99%, which is in agreement with the theoretical value of 1.92%.

    Hydrogenation in flow: homogenous and heterogeneous catalysts using Teflon AF-2400 to effect gas-liquid contact at elevated pressure

    http://pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/ArticleLanding/2011/SC/c1sc00055a#!divAbstract

    M. O’Brien, N. Taylor, A. Polyzos, I.R. Baxendale, S.V. Ley, Chem. Sci. 2011, 2, 1250-1257.

    A Tube-in-Tube reactor/injector has been developed, based on a gas-permeable Teflon AF-2400 membrane, which allows both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation reactions to be efficiently carried out at elevated pressure in flow, thereby increasing the safety profile of these reactions. Measurements of the gas permeation through the tubing and uptake into solution, using both a burette method and a novel computer-assisted ‘bubble counting’ technique, indicate that permeation/dissolution follows Henry’s law and that saturation is achieved extremely rapidly. The same gas-permeable membrane has also been shown to efficiently effect removal of excess unreacted hydrogen, thus enabling further downstream reaction/processing.

    GMP Question & Answer Guide
    The requirements defined in the GMP Guidelines often leave room for interpretation. However, regulators worldwide (EMA, FDA, TGA etc) sometimes publish frequently asked questions on GMP. In a new ECA document these Q&As are summarized in a single source. The Q&As are structured in 4 main GMP Areas (General GMPs, GMP for APIs, GMP for Medicinal Products, GMP for IMPs). The document contains 150 pages of Q&As and is available at no cost on the ECA Webpage. A first set of ECA Q&As have also been included and additional GMP Q&As are planned for the future.

    Still a GMP problem? Or already a criminal act? Do we need more stringent measures and enforcement in certain situations?


    DR ANTHONY MELVIN CRASTO Ph.D's avatarDRUG REGULATORY AFFAIRS INTERNATIONAL

    Still a GMP problem? Or already a criminal act? Do we need more stringent measures and enforcement in certain situations?

    Sometimes EU and FDA Inspectors discover serious GMP deviations and fraud during an inspection. What are the consequences and do we need to think about additional measures? Please read more in our GMP News.

    http://www.gmp-compliance.org/enews_4467_Still-a-GMP-problem-Or-already-a-criminal-act-Do-we-need-more-stringent-measures-and-enforcement-in-certain-situations_8401,S-QSB_n.html

    When GMP issues are discussed, different interpretations are possible. Sometimes, the implementation of GMP regulations and expectations can be a challenge. However, everyone involved should do his/her best to make sure that GMP has been put in place and that patient safety is ultimately guaranteed.

    Now and again, companies may receive GMP Non-Compliance Statements from EU Inspectors or Warning Letters from US FDA Inspectors because of non-compliance issues identified during inspections. This is a serious situation for the companies involved. Organisational problems and frequently also gross mismanagement can be the reasons for these deviations. In…

    During the current (2010-2015) USP Expert Committee cycle, the Dosage Forms Expert Committee has developed both new and revised general chapters that provide guidance on particulate matter content of injectable drug products. For visible particles, methods are based upon human detection sensitivity as described in Visible Particulates in Injections <790>, which applies to all sterile injectable dosage forms. For subvisible particle content, which is based upon instrumental determination, new particulate matter guidance has been established specifically for sterile injectable biotherapeutic products.

    Imatinib (INN), marketed by Novartis as Gleevec (Canada, South Africa and the USA) or Glivec (Australia, Europe and Latin America), and sometimes referred to by its investigational name STI-571, is a tyrosine-kinase inhibitor used in the treatment of multiple cancers, most notably Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML).[1]

    Like all tyrosine-kinase inhibitors, imatinib works by preventing a tyrosine kinase enzyme, in this case BCR-Abl, fromphosphorylating subsequent proteins and initiating the signalling cascade necessary for cancer growth and survival, thus preventing the growth of cancer cells and leading to their death by apoptosis.[2] Because the BCR-Abl tyrosine kinase enzyme exists only in cancer cells and not in healthy cells, imatinib works as a form of targeted therapy—only cancer cells are killed through the drug’s action.[3] In this regard, imatinib was one of the first cancer therapies to show the potential for such targeted action, and is often cited as a paradigm for research in cancer therapeutics.[4]

    Imatinib has been cited as the first of the exceptionally expensive cancer drugs, costing $92,000 a year. Doctors and patients complain that this is excessive, given that its development costs have been recovered many times over, and that the costs of synthesizing the drug are orders of magnitude lower. In the USA, the patent protecting the active principle will expire on 4 January 2015 while the patent protecting the beta crystal form of the active principal ingredient will expire on 23 May 2019.[5]

    The developers of imatinib were awarded the Lasker Award in 2009 and the Japan Prize in 2012.[6][7]

    Medical uses

    Imatinib is used to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and a number of othermalignancies.

    Chronic myelogenous leukemia

    The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved imatinib as first-line treatment for Philadelphia chromosome-positive CML, both in adults and children. The drug is approved in multiple Philadelphia chromosome-positive cases of CML, including after stem cell transplant, in blast crisis, and newly diagnosed.[8]

    Gastrointestinal stromal tumors

    The FDA first granted approval for advanced GIST patients in 2002. On 1 February 2012, imatinib was approved for use after the surgical removal of KIT-positive tumors to help prevent recurrence.[9] The drug is also approved in unresectable KIT-positive GISTs.[8]

    Other

    The FDA has approved imatinib for use in adult patients with relapsed or refractory Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL), myelodysplastic/ myeloproliferative diseases associated with platelet-derived growth factor receptor gene rearrangements, aggressive systemic mastocytosis without or an unknown D816V c-KIT mutation, hypereosinophilic syndrome and/or chronic eosinophilic leukemia who have the FIP1L1-PDGFRα fusion kinase (CHIC2 allele deletion) or FIP1L1-PDGFRα fusion kinase negative or unknown, unresectable, recurrent and/or metastaticdermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.[8] On 25 January 2013, Gleevec was approved for use in children with Ph+ ALL.[10]

    For treatment of progressive plexiform neurofibromas associated with neurofibromatosis type I, early research has shown potential for using the c-KIT tyrosine kinase blocking properties of imatinib.[11][12][13][14]

    Legal challenge to generics

    In 2007, imatinib became a test case through which Novartis challenged India’s patent laws. A win for Novartis would make it harder for Indian companies to produce generic versions of drugs still manufactured under patent elsewhere in the world. Doctors Without Borders argues a change in law would make it impossible for Indian companies to produce cheap generic antiretrovirals (anti-HIV medication), thus making it impossible for Third World countries to buy these essential medicines.[43] On 6 August 2007, the Madras High Court dismissed the writ petition filed by Novartis challenging the constitutionality of Section 3(d) of Indian Patent Act, and deferred to the World Trade Organization (WTO) forum to resolve the TRIPS compliance question. As of 2009 India has refused to grant patent exclusivity..

    On April 01, 2013 Supreme Court of India dismissed the plea of Novartis for the grant of patent.

    Imatinib is a 2-phenyl amino pyrimidine derivative that functions as a specific inhibitor of a number of tyrosine kinase enzymes. It occupies the TK active site, leading to a decrease in activity.

    There are a large number of TK enzymes in the body, including the insulin receptor. Imatinib is specific for the TK domain inabl(the Abelson proto-oncogene), c-kit and PDGF-R (platelet-derived growth factorreceptor).

    In chronic myelogenous leukemia, the Philadelphia chromosome leads to a fusion protein of abl with bcr(breakpoint cluster region), termed bcr-abl. As this is now aconstitutively active tyrosine kinase, imatinib is used to decrease bcr-abl activity.

    The active sites of tyrosine kinases each have a binding site for ATP. The enzymatic activity catalyzed by a tyrosine kinase is the transfer of the terminal phosphate from ATP to tyrosine residues on its substrates, a process known as protein tyrosinephosphorylation. Imatinib works by binding close to the ATP binding site of bcr-abl, locking it in a closed or self-inhibited conformation, and therefore inhibiting the enzyme activity of the protein semi-competitively.[32] This fact explains why many BCR-ABL mutations can cause resistance to imatinib by shifting its equilibrium toward the open or active conformation.[33]

    Imatinib is quite selective for bcr-abl – it does also inhibit other targets mentioned above (c-kit and PDGF-R), but no other knowntyrosine kinases. Imatinib also inhibits the abl protein of non-cancer cells but cells normally have additional redundant tyrosine kinases which allow them to continue to function even if abl tyrosine kinase is inhibited. Some tumor cells, however, have a dependence on bcr-abl.[34] Inhibition of the bcr-abl tyrosine kinase also stimulates its entry in to the nucleus, where it is unable to perform any of its normal anti-apoptopic functions.[35]

    The Bcr-Abl pathway has many downstream pathways including the Ras/MapK pathway, which leads to increased proliferation due to increased growth factor-independent cell growth. It also affects the Src/Pax/Fak/Rac pathway. This affects the cytoskeleton, which leads to increased cell motility and decreased adhesion. The PI/PI3K/AKT/BCL-2 pathway is also affected. BCL-2 is responsible for keeping the mitochondria stable; this suppresses cell death by apoptosis and increases survival. The last pathway that Bcr-Abl affects is the JAK/STAT pathway, which is responsible for proliferation.[36]

    synthesis

    …………………………

    Imatinib is known as an inhibitor of protein-tyrosine kinase and is indicated for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Imatinib also has potential for the treatment of various other cancers that express these kinase including acute lymphocyte leukemia and certain solid tumors. It can also be used for the treatment of atherosclerosis, thrombosis, restenosis, or fibrosis. Thus, imatinib can also be used for the treatment of non-malignant diseases. Imatinib is usually administered orally in the form of a suitable salt, e.g., in the form of imatinib mesylate.

    The chemical name of Imatinib is 4-(4-methyl piperazine -1- methyl) -N-4-methyl-3-[4- (3- pyridyl) pyrimidine-2-amino] – benzamide and is represented by the following structural formula:

    Figure imgf000003_0001

    (Imatinib)

    Imatinib Mesylate is an inhibitor of signal transduction (STI571) invented by Novartis AG after 7 years of hard work; it is the first inhibitor of cancer signal transduction ratified in the whole world. It is sold by Novartis as Gleevec capsules containing imatinib mesylate in amounts equivalent to 100 mg or 400 mg of imatinib free base.

    Imatinib Mesylate is the rare drug in America, European Union and Japan. In May 10, 2001, it was ratified by American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat the chronic myelogenous leukemia patients. EP0564409 (US5521 184) describes the process for the preparation of imatinib and the use thereof, especially as an anti tumour agent.

    There are generally two synthetic routes for synthesis of Imatinib, suitable for the industrial production. One synthetic process as described in scheme-I comprises using 2-methyl-5-nitroaniline as the raw material which is reacted with cyanamide to obtain guanidine; cyclization reaction with 3-dimethylamino-l-(3-pyridyl)-2-propylene-l- ketone; reduction step of nitro to amine and condensation reaction with 4- (Chloromethyl)benzoyl chloride and N-methylpiperazidine to obtain Imatinib (WO 2004/108669). -I

    Figure imgf000004_0001

    Scheme-2 describes the successful process for the synthesis of Imatinib using 4-methyl-3- nitroanilines as the raw material, comprising reacting 4-methyl-3-nitroanilines with 4- (Chloromethyl)benzoyl chloride and N-methyl piperazidine in turns; followed by reduction of nitro group to amino group; then reaction with cyanamide to obtain guanidine; finally cyclization reaction with 3- dimethyl amino- 1 -(3- pyridyl)-2- propylene-1 -ketone to obtain Imatinib (WO 03/066613). The said PCT application discloses the use of 4-4-(methyl piperazin-l-ylmethyl)-benzoic acid methyl ester as one of the raw material but rest of the reactants are different from that of N-(5-amino -2- methylphenyl)-4-(3-pyridyl)-2-pyrimidine amine in presence of trimethyl aluminium.

    Scheme-2

    Figure imgf000005_0001

    Common feature of the processes for preparing imatinib according to (WO 2004/108669) and (WO03/066613) lies in use of cyanamide as a reagent. The main difference between the two routes is that the reaction sequence of cyclization of pyrimidine chain is different. Example 10 of PCT International Publication no. WO 2003/066613 is less applicable to industrial purposes. These include the reaction between N-(3-bromo-4-methyl-phenyl)-4- (4-methyl-piperazin-l -ylmethyl)-benzamide and 4-(3-pyridyl)-2-pyrimidineamine which uses a mixture of rac-BINAP (a phosphine oxide catalyst) and Pd2 (dba)3*CHCl3. These catalysts are very expensive, therefore, their use is unfit for commercial production.

    CN1630648A describes a process comprising reaction of 3- bromine-4- methyl aniline with 4-(4-methyl-piperazin- methyl) methyl benzoate in presence of trimethyl-Aluminum to obtain N-(4-methyl-3-bromobenzene)-4-(4-methyl-piperazin- 1 -methyl)-benzamide, which further reacts with 2-amino-4-(3-pyridyl)- pyrimidine in presence of palladium as catalyst to obtain Imatinib.

    Figure imgf000006_0001
    Figure imgf000006_0002

    The drawback of the above process is the use of trimethyl-Aluminum, which is flammable and reacts severely when comes in contact with water.

    CN101016293A describes another process using N-(4-methyl-3-3- aminophenyl)-4-(4- methyl-piperazin-1 -methyl)- benzamide as the raw material. The said raw material is reacted with 2-halogen-4-(3-pyridyl)- pyrimidine to obtain Imatinib.

    Figure imgf000006_0003

    The process disclosed in CN 101016293 A comprises use of halogenated agent, such as phosphorus oxychloride, which is used to synthesize 2-halogeno-4- methyl- (3-pyridyl) – pyridine is lachrymator and corrosive and has great influence to the surroundings. EP0564409 describes a coupling reaction between N-(5-amino -2-methylphenyl)-4-(3- pyridyl)-2-pyrimidine amine and 4-(4-methyl piperazin-l-ylmethyl)-benzoyl chloride in the presence of high quantity of pyridine to starting reactant amine N-(5-amino -2- methylphenyl)-4-(3-pyridyl)-2-pyrimidine amine. The ratio of the pyridine to the said reactant is 138 which is equivalent to about 40 parts v/w. Use of such a large quantity of pyridine is unsafe as it is a toxic solvent according to ICH guidelines. The workup of the reaction comprises evaporation of the remaining pyridine and further processing, which finally involves chromatography for purification, which is highly undesirable on industrial scale because it is expensive and time consuming.

    Figure imgf000007_0001

    US2006/0149061 and US20060223817 also discloses a similar synthetic approach comprising the use of similar pyridine /starting amine ratio (140 equivalents which is equals about 41 parts v/w). The product obtained is purified by slurring in ethyl acetate.

    WO2004/074502 describes a coupling reaction between N-(5-amino -2-methylphenyl)-4- (3-pyridyl)-2-pyrimidine amine and 4-(4-methyl piperazin-l-ylmethyl)-benzoyl chloride wherein solvent like dimethyl pharmamide , dimethyl acetamide, N-methyl pyrilidinone are used as solvents instead of pyridine. However the method described in this patent application lacks an advantage in that the coupling reaction produces the hydrohalide salt of imatinib, e.g. imatinib trihydrochloride monohydrate, which has to be treated with a base in order to afford the imatinib base, thus an extra step is required. Further, conventional methods for coupling N-(5-amino -2-methylphenyl)-4-(3-pyridyl)-2- pyrimidine amine require reaction with an acid halide, e.g. 4-(4-methyl piperazin-1- ylmethyl)-benzoyl chloride, which requires an additional production step that can involve harsh and/or toxic chlorinating agent.

    Figure imgf000008_0001

    WO2008/1 17298 describes a coupling reaction between N-(5-amino -2-methylphenyl)-4- (3-pyridyl)-2-pyrimidine amine and 4-(4-methyl piperazin-l-ylmethyl)-benzoyl chloride in presence of a base selected from potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium or sodium hydroxide. Use of potassium carbonate as base results into the formation of Imatinib dihydrochloride which ultimately requires an additional operation of neutralization by using excessive base to get imatinib.

    Figure imgf000008_0002

    WO2008/136010 describes a coupling reaction between N-(5-amino -2-methylphenyl)-4- (3-pyridyl)-2-pyrimidine amine and 4-(4-methyl piperazin-l-ylmethyl)-benzoyl chloride in presence of base potassium hydroxide resulting into 78.6% yield of crude imatinib base. Preparation of crude requires imatinib hydrochloride preparation during the workup which is then basified to get base in crude form. This also describes maleate salt preparation as mode of purification which is again basified to give pure Imatinib base.

    Figure imgf000009_0001

    US patent application 2004/0248918 discloses a different approach using N-(5-amino -2- methylphenyl)-4-(3-pyridyl)-2-pyrimidine amine and 4-(2-chloromethyl)-benzoyl chloride as raw material. The reaction for the preparation of Imatinib is carried out in tetrahydrofuran as a reaction solvent and in the presence of pyridine as a base. However the method described in this patent application lacks an advantage as purification of the product requires column chromatography using chloroform: methanol (3: 1 v/v), which is not suitable purification method when performing the reaction on large scale, followed by crystallizati

    Figure imgf000009_0002

    US patent application 2008/0103305 discloses a process comprising reacting N-(5-amino -2-methylphenyl)-4-(3-pyridyl)-2-pyrimidine amine or its alkyl derivative and an acid salt of 4-[(4-methyl-l-piperazinyl)-methyl] benzoyl derivative as given below in the scheme-3 using pyridine in an amount of about 2 to 10 volumes per gram of the said amine. However the drawback associated with this process is use of pyridine especially when reaction is performed on large scale. -3

    Organic Process Research & Development, 12(3), 490-495. DOI: 10.1021/op700270nAs an example of research aimed at industrial production one involving imatinib. This cancer drug was one of the first offspring of rational drug design and if you believe the Wikipedia page hugely expensive despite its simple appearance (no stereocenters!). A group of Northwest University researchers set out to improve the existing Novartis procedure DOI and here is how they did it.

    2-acetylpyridine (1) was alkylated with the acetal of N,N-dimethylformamide 2 to enamine 3. A pyrimidine ring in 5was formed with base and reagent guanidine nitrate 4 and nitrotoluene fragment 6 was added in a Ullmann-type reaction with CuI generating secondary amine 7. The nitro group was reduced by hydrazine / FeCl3/C to the amine which was then converted to amide 8 with acid chloride 9. The final step is addition of piperazine 10 to form imatinib11.So is this procedure an improvement on the existing method and ready-made for industrial implementation? Surely they have eradicated the use of toxic cyanamide, cumbersome sodium metal and expensive palladium but they have also introduced equally toxic hydrazine and the harmful and explosive guanidine nitrate. As a further point of criticism the final step is demonstrated on a 0.5 gram scale. If the journal Organic Process Research & Development would live up to its standards the scale would at least be a kilogram.Liu, Y., Wang, C., Bai, Y., Han, N., Jiao, J., Qi, X. (2008).

    Angelo Carotti and his group from University of Bari have developed a solid-phase synthesis of Imatinib which acts as a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor (Tetrahedron Lett. 2007, 48, 3455. DOI: 10.1016/j.tetlet.2007.03.033). By applying microwave heating in five steps of the synthesis (preparation of linker 1, nucleophilic substitution, reduction of the nitro group, formation of guanidine and final cyclization) the total process could be accelerated. Key steps were the guanylation of aniline 2 where a higher yield and purity of product 3 could be obtained under microwave irradiation, and the final cyclization to resin bound Imatinib where the reaction time could be reduced from 20 h to 50 min. Addiotionally, resin stability was ensured due to the shorter reaction time.

    In order to prepare the core heterocyclic unit a direct condensation between a 1,3-dicarbonyl compound 3.39 and an amidine or guanidine 3.40 is frequently employed (Scheme 36a). Alternatively, an amidine can be condensed with a vinylogous amide 3.41 resulting in the direct formation of 2,4-disubstituted pyrimidines. These condensations often require relatively harsh reaction conditions despite this they are of great value as they involve cheap or easily accessible materials and typically only form water as the principle byproduct.

    A modification of the above pyrimidine synthesis has been applied in the generation of imatinib (3.36, Gleevec) which is Novartis’ tyrosine kinase inhibitor used for the treatment of chronic myeloic leukaemia. In a patented route the aldol product 3.47 undergoes a condensation reaction with guanidine 3.48 in basic media to give the 2-aminopyrimidine 3.49 (Scheme 37) [93]. After generating the functional pyrimidine core a hydrazine-mediated reduction of the nitro group in the side chain was conducted with Raney-Nickel as the catalyst. Amide formation with 4-chloromethylbenzoyl chloride (3.50) and a direct displacement of the benzylic chloride with N-methylpiperazine (1.118) complete this synthesis of imatinib in excellent overall yields.

    Scheme 37: Synthesis of imatinib.

    One noteworthy feature of this imatinib synthesis is that it is specifically designed for facile isolation of intermediates by precipitation due to their limited solubility in non-polar solvents [94]. Whilst this process was efficient in enabling the isolation of pure material after each step, it does not encourage telescoping of steps, which would in principal increase the overall efficiency of the process. Recently, similar approaches have been utilised in the academic environment using enabling techniques in a route to imatinib. For instance, our group has employed continuous flow synthesis methods to imatinib [95,96]. The route not only afforded imatinib but led to many previously inaccessible derivatives in an automated fashion within a single working day (Scheme 38). In addition, this particular sequence showcases the uses of scavenger resins for in-line purification as the synthesis progresses and features the use of a Buchwald–Hartwig amination in a late stage fragment coupling. While it was sufficient to access only small amounts of these structures (around 50 mg), these techniques are currently being adopted by several major pharmaceutical companies in order to enhance drug development and even manufacturing sequences.

    Protein kinases catalyze the phosphorylation of serine, threonine, tyrosine and histidine residues in proteins. Aberrant regulation of kinase activity has been implicated in many diseases including cancer. Thus development of new strategies for kinase inhibitor design remains an active area of research with direct relevance to drug development. Abelson (Abl)tyrosine kinase is one of the Src-family of tyrosine kinases and is directly implicated in Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML). In this article, we have, for the first time, developed an efficient method for the construction of small molecule-based bisubstrate inhibitors of Abl kinase using click chemistry. Subsequent biochemical screenings revealed a set of moderately potentinhibitors, a few of which have comparable potency to Imatinib (an FDA-approved drug for treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia) against Abl.

    Medicine for Blood Cancer

    ‘Imitinef Mercilet’ is a medicine which cures blood cancer.

    ‘Imitinef Mercilet’ is apparently an alternative spelling of the drug Imatinib mesylate which is used in the treatment of some forms of leukemia along with other types of cancer. Imatinib, often referred to a “Gleevec”, has proved to be an effective treatment for some forms of cancers. However, “blood cancer” is a generalized term for cancers that affect the blood, lymphatic system or bone marrow. The three types of blood cancer are listed as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. These three malignancies require quite different kinds of treatments. While drugs (including Imatinib), along with other treatments such as radiation can help to slow or even stop the progress of these cancers, there is currently no single drug treatment that can be said to actually cure all such cancers.

    Imatinib is a small molecule selectively inhibiting specific tyrosine kinases that has emerged recently as a valuable treatment for patients with advanced GIST. The use of imatinib as monotherapy for the treatment of GIST has been described in PCT publication WO 02/34727, which is here incorporated by reference. However, it has been reported that primary resistance to imatinib is present in a population of patients, for example 13.7% of patients in one study. In addition, a number of patients acquire resistance to treatment with imatinib. More generally this resistance is partial with progression in some lesions, but continuing disease control in other lesions. Hence, these patients remain on imatinib treatment but with a clear need for additional or alternative therapy.

    Imatinib is 4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-ylmethyl)-N-[4-methyl-3-(4-pyridin-3-yl)pyrimidin-2-ylamino)phenyl]-benzamide having the formula I

    The preparation of imatinib and the use thereof, especially as an anti-tumour agent, are described in Example 21 of European patent application EP-A-0 564 409, which was published on 6 Oct. 1993, and in equivalent applications and patents in numerous other countries, e.g. in U.S. Pat. No. 5,521,184 and in Japanese patent 2706682

    flow synthesis

    The flow-based route required minimal manual intervention and was achieved despite poor solubility of many reaction components

    21 January 2013Michael Parkin

    UK chemists have used a combination of flow chemistry methods with solid-supported scavengers and reagents to synthesise the active pharmaceutical ingredient, imatinib, of the anticancer drug Gleevec. The method avoids the need for any manual handling of intermediates and allows the drug to be synthesised in high purity in less than a day.

    Gleevec, developed by Novartis, is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor used for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukaemia and gastrointestinal stromal tumours.

    ‘Wrapping’ Gleevec Fights Drug-Resistant Cancer, Study Shows

    The anti-cancer drug Gleevec® is far more effective against a drug-resistant strain of cancer when the drug wraps the target with a molecular bandage that seals out water from a critical area.

    A new study in Cancer Research finds that the anti-cancer drug Gleevec® is far more effective against a drug-resistant strain of cancer when the drug wraps the target with a molecular bandage that seals out water from a critical area.

    FIG 23.8 Optimization of imatinib as a chemotherapeutic agent. The discovery that 2-phenylaminopyrimidine inhibitors of PKC also inhibit the unrelated v-Abl oncogene turned attention to its potential use in the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukaemia. Starting with the 2-phenylaminopyrimidine backbone, addition of the benzamidine group increased activity against tyrosine kinases, the methyl group reduced its activity against PKC (so-called ‘ target hopping ’ ). Addition of a 3’-pyridyl group improved the activity in cellular assays. Subsequent addition of N -methylpiperazine increased water solubility and oral bioavailability, enabling the drug to survive the stomach and to enter the bloodstream.
