INTRO
Revaprazan hydrochloride, a reversible proton pump inhibitor with long-lasting acid-suppressive effects, was first launched in Korea in 2005 by Yuhan for the treatment of duodenal ulcer, gastric ulcer and gastritis. The compound is also undergoing phase II clinical studies for the treatment of of Non-erosive Reflux Disease (NERD).
Discovered by Yuhan, revaprazan hydrochloride was licensed to GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) in 2000 for worldwide development and commercialization except in South and North Korea.
Revaprazan, whose chemical name is 5,6-dimethyl-2-(4-fluorophenylamino)-4-(1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-2-yl)pyrimidine, is represented by the following Formula 1. Revaprazan can be used in a form of an acid addition salt, including e.g., HCl salt (see International Publication No. WO1996/05177, WO1997/042186, and WO1998/018784).
Formula 1
Revaprazan or its salt is reversibly bound to a H+/K+ exchange site of a proton pump (H+/K+ ATPase) existing in a gastric parietal cell so that secretion of H+ into the gastric lumen is competitively inhibited. Revaprazan or its salt is also bound to a specific site of H+/K+ ATPase, thereby inhibiting transport of H+ and suppressing an acid secretion to the gastric lumen, which results in increasing the intragastric pH. Unlike irreversible proton pump inhibitors, e.g., omeprazole, revaprazan or its salt is not dependent upon acid activation of a drug in a stomach or secretion status of a proton pump. Therefore, based on the mechanism different from irreversible proton pump inhibitors, such as omeprazole, revaprazan or its salt is classified into an acid pump antagonist (APA).
Revaprazan has very low water-solubility, i.e. less than 0.2 mg/mL, and even lower solubility in a buffer solution having pH 1 to 12. And also, revaprazan has very low intrinsic dissolution rate, i.e., about 0.0086 mg/min/cm2. Due to such a low solubility and intrinsic dissolution rate, its dissolution in the gastrointestinal tract is also very low. Therefore, when revaprazan is orally administered, its absorption rate is relatively low. Revaprazan also has strong adhesion and agglutination properties, and thus, when revaprazan is formulated into a capsule or a tablet, it may be stuck to a punch or a die, thereby showing low formulation processability. In order to address these problems, WO 2008/078922 has disclosed a pharmaceutical composition for oral administration comprising a solid dispersion in which revaprazan particles are surface-modified with a water-soluble polymer, a water-soluble saccharide, a surfactant, or a mixture thereof.
WO-2014060908 patent………. Improved process for preparation of revaprazan hydrochloride comprising reacting 1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline with 4-halide-2-(4-flurophenylamino)-5,6-dimethylpyrimidine in the presence of a transfer catalyst (eg tetra butyl ammonium bromide), solvent (eg methyl isobutyl ketone) and treated with HCl. Also claims purification and crystallization of the API. Appears to be the first filing from the Lupin on this API. Family members of the product case, WO9605177 (assigned to Yuhan Corp, Yuhan Corporation ), expire in August 2015

Chlorination of 5,6-dimethyl-2,4-dihydroxypyrimidine (VIII) using phosphorus oxychloride in the presence of N,N-dimethylaniline provided dichloropyrimidine (IX). The 4-chloro group of (IX) was then selectively displaced with tetrahydroisoquinoline (IV) to afford adduct (X). The title compound was then obtained by condensation of the 2-chloropyrimidine (X) with 4-fluoroaniline (XI), followed by conversion to the corresponding hydrochloride salt

In a different method, amine (I) was alkylated with 2-bromoethanol (V) to give the N-(hydroxyethyl) amine (VI), which was further converted to bromo amine (VII) by treatment with concentrated HBr. Friedel-Crafts cyclization of (VII) upon heating in the presence of AlCl3 furnished tetrahydroisoquinoline (IV).
………….

The intermediate tetrahydroisoquinoline (IV) has been prepared by two synthetic strategies. Condensation of alpha-methyl benzylamine (I) with alpha-chloro-alpha-(methylsulfanyl)acetyl chloride (II) in the presence of SnCl2 furnished the tetrahydroisoquinolinone (III). Reductive cleavage of the methylsulfanyl group of (III) employing Raney-Ni, followed by lactam reduction, provided intermediate (IV).

In a different method, cetylation of phenethylamine (XVI) with acetyl chloride (XVII) by means of Et3N in dichloromethane provides N-(2-phenylethyl)acetamide (XVIII), which is cyclized with hot polyphosphoric acid to afford 1-methyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline (XIX). Finally, compound (XIX) is reduced with sodium borohydride in EtOH.

In an alternative procedure, 4-fluoroaniline (XI) was condensed with cyanamide under acidic conditions to afford the fluorophenyl guanidine (XII). Cyclization of guanidine (XII) with ethyl 2-methylacetoacetate (XIII) in hot DMF produced pyrimidine (XIV). After chlorination of (XIV) with POCl3, the resultant chloropyrimidine (XV) was condensed with tetrahydroisoquinoline (IV) in the presence of either KOAc or Et3N to furnish the title diaminopyrimidine.

5,6-Dimethyl-2-(4-fluorophenylamino)-4-(l-methyl-l,2,3,4-tetra- hydroisoquinolin-2-yl)pyrimidine of the above formula (I) inhibits gastric acid secretion by means of a reversible proton-pump inhibiting effect and, therefore, can be used as an anti -ulcer agent. This compound was developed by the inventors of the present invention, who then applied for patents for the compound and/or its method of preparation in Korea and other countries (see International Publication No. WO 96/05177).
According to the method disclosed in the above patent application, 5,6-dimethyl-2-(4-f luoropheny lamino) -4- ( 1 -methyl- 1, 2,3,4 -tetrahydroisoq uinolin-2-yl)pyrimidine is prepared according to the following reaction scheme A:
Reaction scheme A
Since the starting material of the above reaction scheme has two reactive sites (i.e., the two CI atoms), the first reaction inevitably produces a side product, which reduces the yield of the desired compound.
The present inventors have long labored to develop a novel method for preparing 5,6-dimethyl-2-(4-fluorophenylamino)-4-(l-methyl- l,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-2-yl)pyrimidine of formula (I) without producing side products. As a result, we have discovered that the desired compound of formula (I) can be efficiently prepared without side products by reacting the pyrimidine derivative represented by formula (LI-A) with l-methyl-l,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline represented by formula (III) and, thus, have completed the present invention.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a novel process for preparation of 5,6-dimethyl-2-(4-fluorophenylamino)-4-(l-methyl-l,2,3,4-tetrahydroiso- quinolin-2-yl)pyrimidine represented by formula (I) and its acid addition salts.
More specifically, the present invention relates to a process for preparation of 5,6-dimethyl-2-(4-fluorophenylamino)-4-(l-methyl-l,2,3,4- tetrahydroisoquinolin-2-yl)pyrimidine represented by formula (I),
and its acid addition salts wherein a pyrimidine derivative represented by the following formula (II-A),
in which Hal represents a halogen, is reacted with 1 -methyl- 1,2,3,4 – tetrahydroisoquinoline represented by formula (HI),
In addition, the present invention relates to a process for preparation of the pyrimidine derivative of formula (II-A) and the compound of formula (HI). Further, the present invention relates to a novel intermediate compound represented by the following formula (LI), which includes the pyrimidine derivative represented by formula (II-A),
in which R represents hydroxy or a halogen.
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
According to the present invention, the compound of formula (I) can be prepared by reacting the compound of formula (LI-A) with 1 -methyl -1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline of formula (IT), as depicted in the following reaction scheme 1:
Reaction scheme 1
ω
Since the starting compound of the reaction scheme 1 (i.e., the compound of formula (II-A)) contains a single reactive site (i.e., Hal), this reaction scheme does not produce any side product and, thus, optimizes the yield of the compound of formula (I), the desired product.
The present invention is described in more detail below. Although the 4-halogeno-2-(4-fluorophenylamino)-5,6-dimethyl- pyrimidine represented by formula (II-A) can be reacted according to the present invention with an equivalent amount of 1 -methyl- 1,2,3,4-tetra- hydroisoquinoline represented by formula (HI), it is preferable to conduct the reaction using an excess, rather than an equivalent amount, of the latter. Since the latter is a liquid under reaction conditions, the unreacted l-methyl-l,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline can be readily removed after the reaction has gone to completion.

Radiation therapy to treat uterine cancer linked with increased risk of bladder cancer later in life
Radiation therapy used to treat uterine cancer may increase a patient’s risk of developing bladder cancer. That is the conclusion of a recent study published in BJU International. The findings indicate the importance of monitoring patients for potential signs of bladder cancer to ensure early diagnosis and treatment.
In the United States, uterine cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women, with an estimated 49,560 women diagnosed in 2013. In addition to surgery, 38 percent ofpatients undergo pelvic radiation therapy to decrease uterine cancer recurrence. Studies have found that women treated with radiation therapy for uterine cancer, like men who received radiation therapy for prostate cancer, have an increased risk of developing bladder cancer later in life.
To investigate the issue, Guan Wu, MD, PhD, of the University of Rochester Medical Center, and his colleagues analyzed the records of 56,681 patients diagnosed with uterine cancer as their…

Fibroblasts could offer alternative to heart transplants

Cardiac fibroblasts
Fibroblasts, cells long thought to be boring and irrelevant, could offer an alternative to heart transplants for patients with heart disease. Researcher Dr Milena Furtado, and her team from the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute (ARMI) at Monash University, found the heart cell fibroblast is a close relative to a cardiomyocyte, the cell responsible for a healthy beating heart.
In research published today in Circulation Research, Dr Furtado has found that cardiac fibroblasts are unique cells due to their genetic program, and will aid in the development of cell therapies for congenital heart disease and heart failure.
“Heart disease is still one of the major killers in our society and so far no effective therapeutic options are available. Our laboratory aims to understand how the various cell types present in a heart can improve the outcome of heart failure,’ Dr Furtado said.
“Fibroblasts were thought to act as…

New treatment could ‘protect against any strain of the flu’

The new biologic (green) binding to the surface of cells (blue nuclei), protecting the cells from invasion by the influenza virus.
Scots scientists have developed a novel treatment that could protect against any strain of the flu.
It is hoped that the new development, led by researchers at the University of St Andrews, has the potential to guard against current, future and even pandemic strains of the virus.
In an international effort, the scientists involved say that the preventative treatment could be used as a ‘frontline defence’ before an effective flu vaccine is developed. Leading influenza experts say the new development is ‘very exciting and potentially of great importance in this era’.
The BBSRC and MRC-funded research was led by Professor Garry Taylor and Dr Helen Connaris in the Biomedical Sciences Research Complex at St Andrews. They said “We have developed an alternative host-targeted approach to prevent influenza by synthesising…

New method to analyse how cancer cells die
A team from The University of Manchester – part of the Manchester Cancer Research Centre – have found a new method to more efficiently manufacture a chemical used to monitor cancer cells.
The technique could lead to clearer and better quality images on PET scans.
The number of cells within tissue is controlled through apoptosis – a process where cells shrink and their components break up, also known as programmed cell death. Cancer is often characterised by a disruption to the normal process of this cell death.
Being able to study this process accurately would allow doctors to more effectively diagnose and monitor cancer and to test and develop new treatments designed to kill cancer cells.
Ideally, cell death would be measured non-invasively to avoid surgery and current methods are focused on using radioactive tracers – molecules that are taken up in regions of tissue where cells are…
