Tavaborole (AN2690, trade name Kerydin) is a topical antifungal medication for the treatment of onychomycosis, a fungal infectionof the nail and nail bed. Tavaborole began its Phase 3 trials in December 2010[1] and was approved in July 2014.[2] Tavaborole inhibits an essential fungal enzyme, Leucyl-tRNA synthetase, or LeuRS, required for protein synthesis. The inhibition of protein synthesis leads to termination of cell growth and cell death, eliminating the fungal infection. No treatment-related systemic side effects were observed in any of its clinical trials.
Tavaborole is the first oxygen boron used to treat toenail infections dioxolane (oxaborole) antifungal agents, located in Palo Alto, Anacor focuses on boron-based drug development and production, according to the latest news, Tavaborole future also be used to infect fingernails. Wedbush Securities analyst predicts that next year the drug sales in the United States for $ 16 million, by 2021 will reach peak sales of $ 347 million.
Gram-negative bacteria cause approximately 70% of the infections in intensive care units. A growing number of bacterial isolates responsible for these infections are resistant to currently available antibiotics and to many in development. Most agents under development are modifications of existing drug classes, which only partially overcome existing resistance mechanisms. Therefore, new classes of Gram-negative antibacterials with truly novel modes of action are needed to circumvent these existing resistance mechanisms. We have previously identified a new a way to inhibit an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, leucyl-tRNA synthetase (LeuRS), in fungi via the oxaborole tRNA trapping (OBORT) mechanism.
Herein, we show how we have modified the OBORT mechanism using a structure-guided approach to develop a new boron-based antibiotic class, the benzoxaboroles, which inhibit bacterial leucyl-tRNA synthetase and have activity against Gram-negative bacteria by largely evading the main efflux mechanisms in Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The lead analogue, is active against Gram-negative bacteria, including Enterobacteriaceaebearing NDM-1 and KPC carbapenemases, as well as P. aeruginosa. This novel boron-based antibacterial, has good mouse pharmacokinetics and was efficacious against E. coli and P. aeruginosa in murine thigh infection models, which suggest that this novel class of antibacterials has the potential to address this unmet medical need.
Anacor continued development on that drug, tavaborole, and filed for FDA approval in July. The FDA will review the phase 3 trial data and issue a decision on July 29, 2014.
If approved, Anacor hopes tavaborole’s ability to clear onychomycosis in 10% of treated patients will be enough to win market share away from generic Lamisil and generic topical Pentac. While Lamisil cleared the fungus in 38% of patients, it’s been associated with rare cases of liver failure. And Pentac requires frequent debridement of the nail and only clears the fungus in 5.5% to 8.5% of patients.
Tavaborole is a novel, topical antifungal medication being developed for the topical treatment of onychomycosis, a nail fungus infection, which affects seven to ten percent of the U.S. population. Early studies show AN-2690 penetrates the nail effectively and has robust activity against dermatophytes, which cause onychomycosis.![]()

Anacor Pharmaceuticals to Present Pivotal Phase 3 Data of Tavaborole for the Topical Treatment of Toenail Onychomycosis
Abstract Accepted for Oral Presentation at the 2013 American Podiatric Medical Association Annual Scientific Meeting
PALO ALTO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Anacor Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ANAC) announced today that its abstract “Pivotal Phase 3 Safety and Efficacy Results of Tavaborole (Formerly AN2690), a Novel Boron-Based Molecule for the Topical Treatment of Toenail Onychomycosis” was accepted for oral presentation at the 2013 APMA Annual Scientific Meeting (The National) to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada. Max Weisfeld, DPM, will present the data from tavaborole’s Phase 3 studies on Monday, July 22, 2013 during the Evidence-Based Medicine and Oral Abstracts session.
As announced earlier this year, tavaborole achieved statistically significant and clinically meaningful results on all primary and secondary endpoints in two Phase 3 pivotal studies without concomitant debridement. Anacor is seeking approval for tavaborole from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and will file a New Drug Application imminently. Currently, there is only one FDA-approved topical treatment for onychomycosis, a fungal infection of the nail and nail bed, which affects approximately 35 million people in the United States.
“I’m impressed with tavaborole’s safety and efficacy data. There is no FDA-approved topical treatment for onychomycosis with tavaborole’s range of efficacy and ability to penetrate the nail to reach the site of the infection,” said Dr. Weisfeld. “Tavaborole’s Phase 3 results demonstrate its ability to clear the nail and eliminate the infection which is important to both patients and the physicians who treat them. In addition, tavaborole is easy to apply and dries quickly which makes it convenient for patients to use.”
“We are pleased to present these positive data at the APMA’s Annual Scientific Meeting, the leading annual meeting of podiatrists. As we seek FDAapproval for tavaborole, we look forward to developing relationships with podiatrists to potentially offer them a new treatment option for the large number of patients who seek treatment for onychomycosis,” said David Perry, Chief Executive Officer of Anacor Pharmaceuticals.
About the Studies
Anacor conducted two separate Phase 3 studies of tavaborole on patients with distal subungual onychomycosis affecting 20 to 60 percent of the target great toenail. Approximately 600 patients aged 18 years and older with no upper age limit (the oldest subject was 88 years old) were enrolled in each study and randomized two-to-one to receive either tavaborole or the vehicle control. Patients were instructed to apply tavaborole solution or the vehicle to the toenail once daily for 48 weeks.
A copy of the presentation will be available on Anacor’s website following the oral session.
About Anacor Pharmaceuticals
Anacor is a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing novel small-molecule therapeutics derived from its boron chemistry platform. Anacor has discovered eight compounds that are currently in development. Its two lead product candidates are topically administered dermatologic compounds — tavaborole, a topical antifungal for the treatment of onychomycosis, and AN2728, a topical anti-inflammatory PDE-4 inhibitor for the treatment of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. In addition to its two lead programs, Anacor has discovered three other wholly-owned clinical product candidates — AN2718 and AN2898, which are backup compounds to tavaborole and AN2728, respectively, and AN3365 an antibiotic for the treatment of infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria. We have discovered three other compounds that we have out-licensed for further development — two compounds for the treatment of animal health indications that are licensed to Eli Lilly and Company and AN5568, also referred to as SCYX-7158, for human African trypanosomiasis (HAT, or sleeping sickness), which is licensed to Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative, or DNDi. We also have a pipeline of other internally discovered topical and systemic boron-based compounds in development. For more information, visit http://www.anacor.com.

Tavaborole Market Opportunity
Anacor is developing tavaborole specifically to address the current limitations of existing treatment options for onychomycosis. This includes designed leaps forward in both the potential safety and efficacy profile aimed to make the drug a best-in-class therapy. Additionally, management has used the company’s expertise in medicinal chemistry to improve delivery of the compound through the nail plate to the nail bed, the site of onychomycosis infection. For example, preclinical studies indicate that tavaborole is able to penetrate the nail plate 250 times more effectively than ciclopirox.
Tavaborole novel mechanism of action inhibits an essential fungal enzyme, leucyl transfer RNA synthetase, or LeuRS required for protein synthesis. The inhibition of protein synthesis leads to termination of cell growth and cell death, eliminating the fungal infection.
Likewise, the topical dosing was designed to eliminate systemic absorption. Previous preclinical and clinical data shows topical treatment with tavaborole resulted in little or no detectable levels of drug in the blood or urine. No treatment related systemic side effects have been observed in any clinical trials to date. Safety data from the company’s studies to date was recently presented at the 100th National APMA meeting in Washington, DC.
Anacor’s topical solution currently in two phase III trials for onychomycosis. Phase II data with tavaborole suggests efficacy superior to ciclopirox with little to no systemic exposure.

Data from an open-label phase 2 program with tavaborole showed 50% patients using a 7.5% solution saw 2 mm clear nail growth and negative fungal cultures after six months. Roughly 25% of the patients saw 5 mm clear nail growth and negative fungal cultures after six months.
Anacor and partner Merck (NYSE:MRK) met with the U.S. FDA in 2009 to discuss the phase II data. Merck has since returned the rights to tavaborole to Anacor. The original deal was with Schering-Plough in 2007. Merck most likely felt as though tavaborole clashed with existing products or did not have peak sales potential large enough to continue the partnership with Anacor. We see tavaborole as a specialty promoted product, into podiatrists and dermatologists. For a company like Anacor, it’s an attractive first product.
Anacor’s first phase III trial completed enrollment in November 2011. The second phase III trial completed enrollment in December 2011. Data from these trials are expected around the middle of January 2013. Data from the second study is expected six weeks later. Given the positive phase II data noted above, we think odds favor a positive outcome. A benchmark for the trial is the efficacy of Lamisil, which is a complete cure rate of around 35% to 40%, and a mycological cure of around 70% after a typical course of treatment.
I note that on Anacor’s third quarter conference call management noted that they are pleased with the conduct of the trial to date. Specifically, the compliance rate appears to better than management had expected. The trial was designed with a 20% drop-out rate. It looks as though the drop-out rate is only around 13%, at a minimum suggestive of good safety and tolerability, but potentially also a sign that the drug is working.
I see onychomycosis as a significant market opportunity for Anacor. An estimated 35 million Americans have nail fungus, with about 95% of the infections in the toenail. With efficacy similar to Lamisil, we think Anacor can capture 20% of the market. With a price per course of treatment at around $1,200, I think peak sales of tavaborole are $500 million.

Conclusion
I’ll note two more important pieces of information for investors. Firstly, besides optimism for tavaborole, Anacor has apipeline of anti-infectant drugs. For this article I discussed only tavaborole. A second article can be dedicated entirely to AN2728 for the treatment of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Anacor also has an animal health collaboration with Eli Lilly (NYSE:LLY).
The second important thing to note is Anacor’s cash position. The company reported financial results on November 7, 2012. The company held $36.6 million in cash on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2012. However, in October 2012, the company completed an underwritten public offering of 4.0 million shares of common stock at $6.00 per share to raise net proceeds of $22.7 million. I view the current cash position as sufficient to report data from both phase 3 trials and, if positive, file the new drug application (NDA) around the middle of 2013.
With phase 3 data expected in less than two months, good prior evidence of both safety and efficacy, and a solid cash position, I think Anacor could be an attractive investment at today’s price. The stock is down meaningfully over the past month and investors can buy sizably below the October offering.

Anacor Pharmaceuticals is out to change that. The Palo Alto, Calif.-based biotechnology company is developing a family of boron-containing small-molecule drugs. And with the assistance of Naeja Pharmaceutical, a Canadian contract research organization, Anacor has licensed one of those molecules to GlaxoSmithKline and taken another one into Phase III clinical trials.
Anacor was founded in 2002 to develop technology created by Lucy Shapiro, a Stanford University bacterial geneticist, and Stephen J. Benkovic, a Pennsylvania State University organic chemist. Through a long-standing scientific collaboration, the two researchers had discovered boron-containing compounds that inhibited specific bacterial targets………..https://pubs.acs.org/cen/coverstory/89/8912cover3.html

antifugal AN2690 by Anacor
Tavaborole inhibits an essential fungal enzyme, Leucyl-tRNA synthetase, or LeuRS, required for protein synthesis.
Minimum Inhibitory Concentration: 1, 1, 0.5, 0.25, and 0.25 μg/mL for T.rubrum, T.mentagrophytes, C.albicans, C.neoformans, A.fumigatus, respectivley.
AN2690 is a new boron-containing antifungal agent for the potential treatment of onychomycosis. Onychomycosis is caused mainly by dermatophytes, a class of fungus that dwells on skin, hair, and nails and is the cause of other cutaneous fungal infections such as athlete’s foot.
In vitro: AN2690 showed the most active against fungi and especially against the dermatophytes T. rubrum and T. mentagrophytes, the primary fungal pathogens causing onychomycosis. In addition, AN2690 was identified as having a unique profile of in vitro antidermatophyte activity, maintenance of this activity in the presence of keratin, and exceedingly good penetration of human nails [1].
Ex vivo: AN2690 was found to have superior penetration compared to ciclopirox, and achieves levels within and under the nail plate that suggest it has the potential to be an effective topical treatment for onychomycosis [2].
Clinical trial: The efficacy of tavaborole as a topical treatment for onychomycosis has been evaluated in two identical randomised, double-blind phase III studies, NCT01270971 (301) and NCT01302119 (302), enrolling 593 and 601 patients, respectively. Completely or almost clear nail and negative mycology was achieved in 15.3 and 17.9 % of tavaborole recipients compared with 1.5 and 3.9 % of vehicle recipients [3]

EXAMPLE 23
Alternative Preparation of 4 from 3
A 22.0 L 3-neck flask was equipped with a stir motor, N2 inlet, addition funnel, heating mantle, and condenser. The flask was charged with 3500 g (17.1 moi) of 2-bromo-5-fluorobenzyl alcohol followed by the addition of 3556 g of tetrahydrofuran and 16.4 g (0.17 mol) of methanesulfonic acid. Next, 400 g (4.7 mol) of 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran was added at 100C. This step is exothermic so no additional charges should be made until exotherm subsides. The temperature was increased to 27°C, stirred for 15 min and then charged with 400 g (4.7 mol) of 3,4-dihydro-2H- pyran at 240C. Again the temperature increased (24°C to 380C). The mixture was stirred for 15 min. Once the exotherm subsided, the flask was again charged with 40Og (4.7 mol) of 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran at 350C. The temperature again increased to 470C over a 20 min period. Once the exotherm subsided, the mixture was stirred for 15 min. Finally the remaining 400 g (4.7 mol) of 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran was added at 440C. The temperature increased to 510C. After stirring for one hour, a sample was removed to check for removal of starting material. Upon reaction completion, contents were cooled to 20 ± 5 0C.
EXAMPLE 24
Alternative Preparation of 5 from 4
To a 22.0 L 3-neck flask equipped with a stir motor, N2 inlet, addition funnel, cooling bath, and condenser was charged 436 g (17.96 mol) of magnesium turnings. 5334 g of tetrahydrofuran was then added followed by 291 g (0.51 mol) of diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL) (25%wt) in toluene. The mixture was stirred for 60 min at 20 ± 5 0C. Some gas evolution was seen. Next, 260-430 g -3-5% (by weight if solution of 4 was dropped to drums) of 4 in THF was added. The mixture was stirred for 15-30 min at which time a slight exotherm should be seen (ΔT = 10- 150C). Once the exotherm was observed, the reaction mixture was cooled to 5 ± 5 0C. To this mixture, the remaining 8.22-8.39 kg of 4 in THF was added at a rate such that the temperature was kept below 300C (t = 3h). The reaction was stirred at 20-25 0C for 30 min, at which time an aliquot was removed, quench with 3 N HCl (10 mL), and analyzed.
Upon completion, the contents were cooled to -25 ± 5°C. A solution of trimethylborate in THF was prepared by mixing 2665 g (25.7 mol) of trimethyl borate and 6666 g of tetrahydrofuran. This solution can be prepared in a drum with stirring. [0618] Next, the 9331 g of trimethyl borate in THF was added at a rate such that the temperature was kept between -35 and -20 °C (t = 2.5h). The mixture became very thick so THF was added. After stirring at -25 ± 5°C for 10 min, 50 mL aliquot was removed, quenched with 25 mL of 3N HCl, and submitted for CoR. Stirring continued at -25 ± 50C for Ih, and then the mixture was allowed to warm to ambient temperature, where it was stirred for at least 12h. Pull two samples (one at 6h and the other at 12h).

EXAMPLE 25
Alternative Preparation of I from 5
To the reaction mixture above was added 5.3 kg of USP water. After stirring for 30 min, the mixture was charged 5.3 kg of acetic acid. Gas evolution was seen. After stirring for 30 min, an aliquot was removed for analysis. Mixture was then heated to reflux for 36-48 hours. During the reflux period, 12-13 L of THF were removed.
When the reaction was complete, the contents were cooled by the reactor to <40°C by setting jacket and by charging 10.5 kg of USP water. THF was removed until distillate did not remain.

WO2012087596A1 Compound 3 can be prepared using synthetic methods and intermediates like those described in USSN 12/215,605 (US 20090257978 A1). Compound 3 can also be prepared described in the following Example. Example 3: Preparation of Compound 3
Compound 315 (12 g, 13 mmol) was dissolved in THF (200 ml), LiOH (11g, 260 mmol) in H20 (200 ml) was added, followed by MeOH (200 ml). The mixture was kept stirring at room temperature for 20 hours. Upon completion of the reaction, 4 N HCI in H20 was added to adjust pH to 7 at 0 °C. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (2 x 400 ml). The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried (Na2S04) and concentrated in vacuo to give compound 3 as a yellow solid (11 g, 93%). LC/MS = 911.52(M++1 ). 1H NMR (300MHz, CD3OD)57.95 (d, 1H), 7.90 (s, 1H), 7.48 (s, 1H), 7.31 (d, 1H), 5.42 (s, 1H), 4.37 (dd, 1H), 4.20 (m, 2H), 3.83-3.56 (m, 7H), 3.50 (m, 2H), 3.39 (m, 2H), 2.45 (m, 1H), 2.27(m, 1H), 1.62 (m, 2H), 1.50 (m, 1H), 1.33 (m, 2H), 1.18 (m, 1H), 1.05 (m, 8H), 0.90 (m, 3H), 0.76 (m, 11H), 0.14-0.04 (m, 2H) The intermediate compound 315 was prepared as follows.
301 302 a. Preparation of compound 301. To a dry, argon purged three-neck round bottom flask (1000 mL) were added anhydrous dichloromethane (100 mL) and Et2Zn (28 mL, 273 mmol) at 0 °C. (CAUTION: Source of argon can not be from needle. Use appropriate glass adapter only. A second bubbler can also be attached to the flask to prevent excessive pressure build up.) Cyclopenten-3-ol (10.0 mL, 119 mmol) was then added dropwise (large quantity of ethane gas was produced) to the flask and the reaction mixture was allowed to stir until the evolution of gas had ceased. Diiodomethane (22 mL, 242 mmol) was then added dropwise over a period of 30 minutes. The reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature and continued to stir overnight under a positive flow of argon, at which point TLC analysis had indicated complete disappearance of the starting alcohol. The reaction was then diluted with CH2CI2 and quenched with 2M HCI (white precipitate should be completely dissolved). The biphasic mixture was poured into a separatory funnel and the organic layer was collected. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure until 100 mL of material containing compound 301 remained. b. Preparation of compound 302. Anhydrous dichloromethane (525 mL) was added to the flask followed by the dropwise addition of triethylamine (34 mL, 245 mmol). The reaction continued to stir at room temperature under a positive flow of nitrogen at which point, disuccinimidylcarbonate (40.7 g, 159 mmol) was added to the flask portion wise. The reaction was allowed to stir until TLC analysis indicated complete disappearance of the starting material (2-3 days). Upon completion, the reaction mixture was quenched with 1 M HCI (200 mL x 2) and washed with H20 (200 mL x 2). The desired material was extracted using CH2CI2and the combined organic layers were dried using anhydrous MgS0 and passed through a silica plug. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the crude material was purified using flash chromatography (Rf = 0.33, 1 :1 Hex/EtOAc) to provide compound 302 (22 g, 75%): 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCI3): δ 5. 24 (t, 1 H), 3.82 (s, 4H), 2.24 (m, 2H), 2.03 (d, 2H), 1.38 (m, 2H), 0.48 (m, 1 H), 0.40 (m, 1 H).

European Medicines Agency (EMA) Accepts Otsuka’s Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) for Tolvaptan, an Investigational Compound for Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD)
•Tolvaptan was discovered by Otsuka in Japan and, if approved by the EMA, would become the first pharmaceutical therapy in Europe for patients with ADPKD
•ADPKD is an inherited genetic disease that causes cyst growth in the kidneys, which gradually impairs their functioning. There is no current pharmaceutical treatment option
•Otsuka’s development of tolvaptan as a treatment for ADPKD illustrates the company’s commitment to address significant patient needs for diseases that traditionally have not been a priority for the pharmaceutical industry
TOKYO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. announced today that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has accepted the submission of a marketing authorisation application (MAA) for the potential approval of tolvaptan for the treatment of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Phase III clinical trial results that form the basis of the regulatory filing were published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

SAMSCA tablets for oral use contain 15 mg or 30 mg of tolvaptan. Inactive ingredients include corn starch, hydroxypropyl cellulose, lactose monohydrate, low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose, magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose and FD&C Blue No. 2 Aluminum Lake as colorant.
SEE NEW UPDATE AT END OF PAGE
Tolvaptan (INN), also known as OPC-41061, is a selective, competitive vasopressin receptor 2 antagonist used to treat hyponatremia (low blood sodium levels) associated withcongestive heart failure, cirrhosis, and the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone(SIADH). Tolvaptan was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on May 19, 2009, and is sold by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co. under the trade name Samsca and in India is manufactured & sold by MSN laboratories Ltd. under the trade name Tolvat & Tolsama.
Tolvaptan is also in fast-track clinical trials[2] for polycystic kidney disease. In a 2004 trial, tolvaptan, when administered with traditional diuretics, was noted to increase excretion of excess fluids and improve blood sodium levels in patients with heart failure without producing side effects such as hypotension (low blood pressure) or hypokalemia(decreased blood levels of potassium) and without having an adverse effect on kidney function.[3] In a recently published trial (TEMPO 3:4 ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00428948) the study met its primary and secondary end points. Tolvaptan, when given at an average dose of 95 mg per day over a 3-year period, slowed the usual increase in kidney volume by 50% compared to placebo (2.80% per year versus 5.51% per year, respectively, p<0.001) and reduced the decline in kidney function when compared with that of placebo-treated patients by approximately 30% (reciprocal serum creatinine, -2.61 versus -3.81 (mg/mL)-1 per year, p <0.001)[4]
Tolvaptan was first approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on May 19, 2009, then approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) on August 3, 2009 and approved by Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency of Japan on Feb 4, 2013. It was developed and marketed as Samsca® by Otsuka in the US, DE and JP.
UPDATED
Tolvaptan is a selective vasopressin V2-receptor antagonist with an affinity for the V2-receptor that is 1.8 times that of native arginine vasopressin (AVP) and that is 29 times greater than for the V1a-receptor. When taken orally, 15 to 60 mg doses of tolvaptan antagonize the effect of vasopressin and cause an increase in urine water excretion that results in an increase in free water clearance (aquaresis), a decrease in urine osmolality, and a resulting increase in serum sodium concentrations. It is indicated for the treatment of clinically significant hypervolemic and euvolemic hyponatremia [serum sodium < 125 mEq/L or less marked hyponatremia that is symptomatic and has resisted correction with fluid restriction], including patients with heart failure, cirrhosis, and syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH).
Samsca® is available as tablet for oral use, containing 7.5 mg/15 mg/30 mg of free Tolvaptan. The recommended starting dose is 15 mg once daily and it may be increased at intervals ≥ 24 hr to 30 mg once daily, and to a maximum of 60 mg once daily as needed to raise serum sodium.

Biooganic and Medicinal Chemistry I (2007) 6455-6458, Biooganic andMedicinal Chemistry 14 (2000) 2493-2495 reported in the literature of the intermediate 2 – carboxylic acid -5 – (2 – methyl-benzoylamino) toluene synthesis method,


5-Chloro-2-nitrobenzoic acid (I) was converted into methyl ester (II) using dimethyl sulfate and K2CO3 in acetone. The nitro group of (II) was then reduced with SnCl2 to afford aniline (III), which was protected as the p-toluenesulfonamide (IV) with tosyl chloride in pyridine. Alkylation of (IV) with ethyl 4-bromobutyrate (V) yielded diester (VI). Subsequent Dieckmann cyclization of (VI) in the presence of potassium tert-butoxide provided benzazepinone (VIIa-b) as a mixture of ethyl and methyl esters, which was decarboxylated to (VIII) by heating with HCl in AcOH. Deprotection of the tosyl group of (VIII) was carried out in hot polyphosphoric acid. The resulting benzazepinone (IX) was condensed with 2-methyl-4-nitrobenzoyl chloride (X) to give amide (XI). After reduction of the nitro group of (XI) to the corresponding aniline (XII), condensation with 2-methylbenzoyl chloride (XIII) provided diamide (XIV). Finally, ketone reduction in (XIV) by means of NaBH4 led to the target compound.

Tolvaptan, sold under the brand name Samsca among others, is an aquaretic drug that functions as a selective, competitive vasopressin receptor 2 (V2) antagonist used to treat hyponatremia (low blood sodium levels) associated with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis, and the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). Tolvaptan was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on May 19, 2009, and is sold by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co. under the trade name Samsca.[8] Tolvaptan, as Jynarque, was granted approval for medical use in the United States in April 2018.[9]
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted tolvaptan a fast track designation for clinical trials investigating its use for the treatment of polycystic kidney disease.[10] The FDA granted Jynarque an orphan drug designation in April 2012, for the treatment of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.[11]
Tolvaptan is available as a generic medication.[12]
Medical uses
Tolvaptan (Samsca) is indicated for the treatment of clinically significant hypervolemic and euvolemic hyponatremia.[13]
Tolvaptan (Jynarque) is indicated to slow kidney function decline in adults at risk of rapidly progressing autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).[14]
Side effects
The FDA has determined that tolvaptan should not be used for longer than 30 days and should not be used in patients with underlying liver disease because it can cause liver injury, potentially leading to liver failure.[15] When using to treat hyponatremia, it may cause too rapid correction of hyponatremia resulting in fatal osmotic demyelination syndrome.[16]
Pharmacology
Tolvaptan is a selective vasopressin V2 receptor antagonist.[13][14]
Chemistry
Tolvaptan is a racemate, a 1:1 mixture of the following two enantiomers:[17]

IC50 Value: 7.4nM and 7nM for genotype1b and 1a respectively, in replicon system [1]
MK-5172 is a novel P2-P4 quinoxaline macrocyclic HCV NS3/4a protease inhibitor currently in clinical development.
in vitro: In biochemical assays, MK-5172 was effective against a panel of major genotypes and variants engineered with common resistant mutations observed in clinical studies with other NS3/4a protease inhibitors. In the replicon assay, MK-5172 demonstrated subnanomolar to low-nanomolar EC50s against genotypes 1a, 1b, and 2a [2].
in vivo: In rats, MK-5172 showed a plasma clearance of 28 ml/min/kg and plasma half-life of 1.4 hr. When dosed p.o. at 5 mg/kg, the plasma exposure of MK-5172 was good with an AUC of 0.7 uM.hr. The liver exposure of the compound was quite good (23 uM at 4 hr), and MK-5172 remained in liver 24 hr after a single p.o. 5 mg/kg dose. At 24 hr, the liver concentration of MK-5172 was 0.2 uM, which was over 25-fold higher than the IC50 in the replicon assay with 50% NHS. When dosed to dogs, MK-5172 showed low clearance of 5 ml/min/kg and a 3 hr half-life after i.v. 2 mg/kg dosing and had good plasma exposure (AUC=0.4 uM.hr) after a p.o. 1 mg/kg dose [1].

Step 1: Quinoxaline Hydroxyproline Methyl Ester HCl Salt

A 250-ml RB, equipped with magnetic stirrer and N2 bubbler, was charged with chloroquinoxaline BOC hydroxyproline adduct in MeOH (100 ml), and the mixture was cooled in an ice bath. Acetyl chloride (17.9 g) was then added, and the mixture was stirred at RT for 2 h. The batch was diluted with IP Ac (80 ml). Solids were filtered off and washed with IPAc (20 ml). The washed solids were dried under vacuum for 3 d, to provide 48.9 g (100% yield ). Part of this material was used in the next step.
Example 17: Preparation of Compound A, Method A

Macrocyclic acid hemihydrate, the product of Example 15 (10.16 g, 18.03 mmol) was dissolved in THF (50 mL to 90 mL). The solution was azetropically dried at a final volume of 100 mL. Sulfonamide pTSA salt (7.98 g, 1.983 mmol) followed by DMAc (15 mL) was added at RT. The batch was cooled to 0°C to 10°C, and pyridine (10 mL) was added dropwise. Then, EDC HCl (4.49 g, 23.44 mmol) was added in portions or one portion at 0°C to 10°C. The reaction mixture was aged at 0°C to 10°C for 1 h, and then warmed to 15°C to 20°C for 2 h to 4 h. MeOAc (100 mL) followed by 15 wt% citric acid in 5% NaCl in water (50 mL) was added, while the internal temperature was maintained to < 25°C with external cooling. The separated organic phase was washed with 15 wt% citric acid in 5% NaCl in water (50 mL) followed by 5% NaCl (50 mL). The organic phase was solvent-switched to acetone at a final volume of ~80 mL. Water (10 mL) was added dropwise at 35°C to 40°C. The batch was seeded with Compound A monohydrate form III (~10 mg) and aged for 0.5 h tol h at 35°C to 40°C. Additional water (22 mL) was added dropwise over 2 h to 4 h at 35°C to 40°C. The slurry was aged at 20°C for 2 h to 4 h before filtration. The wet cake was displacement washed with 60% acetone in water (2x 40 mL). Suction drying at RT gave Compound A monohydrate form III as a white solid.

Example 24: Ring Closing Metathesis

To a 50 mL 2-neck RB flask with reflux condenser and needle for N2 bubbling was charged the product of Example 20 (1.034 g, 0.869 mmol, 1.0 eq), toluene (20.68 ml, 20X), and the resulting solution was degassed with N2. Hoveyda-Grubbs 2nd generation catalyst (10.90 mg, 0.017 mmol) was charged to the pot, and the system was heated to 80°C with constant sparge of N2, with color change from green to reddish. The reaction was sampled (5 h) and assay by HPLC to be approximately 80% converted. The system was removed from the heat and allowed to stir at RT overnight under N2. The reaction was again assayed and deemed complete by HPLC. Toluene was removed by concentration and the resulting red oil was purified by gradient silica gel chromatography (50 g BlOTAGE SNAP Si gel column; loaded with DCM; eluted with 0 to 10% EtOAc in DCM over 10 column volumes; then 10 to 20% EtOAc in DCM over 3 column volumes; then hold; detect by TLC-UV) to yield a yellow solid, which was further slurried in EtOAc (3 mL) and hexanes (6 mL). The resulting slurry was filtered and washed with 25% EtOAc in hexanes (6 mL) to yield the product (445 mg, 0.754 mmol, 87% yield) as a white solid.


Merck reported interim data from the Phase 2 C-WORTHY study in April 2014 at the International Liver Congress (ILC) in London that evaluated the efficacy and safety of its two-drug regimen based on NS3/4A protease inhibitor MK-5172 and NS5A replication complex inhibitor MK-8742, given with or without ribavirin, in GT1 HCV patients with cirrhosis. The once-daily single pill (without ribavirin) showed a 98% SVR12 (12-week sustained virologic response) in genotype-1, treatment-naive patients. Merck will start the phase III clinical trials (NCT02105688, NCT02105662, NCT02105467 andNCT02105701) for the combination in June 2014.
Development of a Practical, Asymmetric Synthesis of the Hepatitis C Virus Protease Inhibitor MK-5172.Org. Lett. 2013;
15: 4174-4177

MK-5172 is a hepatitis C virus protease inhibitor. Key steps in the synthesis depicted are (1) the regioselective SNAr reaction of dichloroquinoxaline A with prolinol derivative B and (2) construction of the 18-membered macrocycle using a macrolactamization (F → G).
Comment
The medicinal chemistry route to MK-5172 is based on a ring-closing metathesis strategy (S. Harper et al.ACS Med. Chem. Lett. 2012, 3, 332). The best regioselectivity (20:1) and minimization of double substitution in the SNAr reaction of A with B was achieved using 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) as the base in polar solvents such as DMSO, NMP, or DMAc.

BI-201335 is an HCV NS3 protease inhibitor awaiting approval in the E.U. by Boehringer Ingelheim for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C, in combination with pegylated Interferon and ribavirin.
Faldaprevir (formerly BI 201335) is an experimental drug for the treatment of hepatitis C. It is being developed by Boehringer-Ingelheim and is currently in Phase III trials.[1]
Faldaprevir is a hepatitis C virus protease inhibitor.
Faldaprevir is being tested in combination regimens with pegylated interferon and ribavirin, and in interferon-free regimens with other direct-acting antiviral agents including BI 207127.
Data from the SOUND-C2 study, presented at the 2012 AASLD Liver Meeting, showed that a triple combination of faldaprevir, BI 207127, and ribavirin performed well in HCV genotype 1b patients.[2] Efficacy fell below 50%, however, for dual regimens without ribavirin and for genotype 1a patients.

- Interferon-free hepatitis C treatment with faldaprevir proves safe and effective in people with cirrhosis. Alcorn, K. Aidsmap.com. 20 November 2012.
Phase II clinical trials are also ongoing for the treatment of patients with chronic genotype-1a hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, in combination with PPI-668 and BI-207127.
In 2007, fast track designation was assigned to the compound in the U.S. for the treatment of chronic genotype-1 hepatitis C (HCV).
Protease inhibitors that are active against NS3/4a are a fertile area of research, not least because of the early promise shown by the two already-approved agents
FaldaprevirProtease inhibitors that are active against NS3/4a are a fertile area of research. Boehringer Ingelheim’s compound faldaprevir is currently in Phase III trials.1 In one 24-week trial in 429 treatment-naïve patients with genotype-1 hepatitis C infection, subjects were given standard peg-interferon and ritonavir therapy plus placebo, or standard therapy plus either 120mg or 240mg of faldaprevir either with or without a three day lead-in of standard therapy alone, or standard therapy plus the higher dose of faldaprevir.

EXAMPLES Example 1 Preparation of Quinoline Starting Material Compound 11
Step 1
The dianion of amide 1 (prepared exactly as described above, from 1.00 g amide 1) was cooled to −78° C., then 2.19 mL perfluorooctyl bromide (8.46 mmol, 1.75 eq.) was added dropwise via syringe over 5 minutes. The dark-colored reaction mixture was then placed in a −10° C. bath. After two hours, 10 mL 1N HCl was cautiously added, and the mixture extracted with EtOAc (2×25 mL), dried (MgSO4), and the solvents removed in vacuo. The residue was then chromatographed on silica gel eluting with 4:1 Hexane:EtOAc to give 1.13 g bromoamide 5 (81%) as a colorless oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 8.12 (br s, 1H), 8.04 (dd, J=1.3, 8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.24 (t, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 6.63 (dd, J=1.3, 8.3 Hz, 1H), 3.87 (s, 3H), 1.33 (s, 9H). 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 176.57 (s), 155.74 (s), 136.98 (s), 128.34 (d), 113.63 (d), 106.86 (d), 103.07 (s), 56.26 (q), 40.20 (s), 27.45 (q).
Step 2
0.25 g bromoamide 5 (0.87 mmol, 1 eq.), 2.0 mL con. HCl (24 mmol, 28 eq.), and 1.0 mL diglyme were heated at 100° C. for 24 hours. The mixture was then cooled and filtered (product). The filtrate was evaporated in vacuo using H2O to azeotropically remove all solvents. The residue was triturated with EtOAc to cause precipitation of additional product, which was also filtered. The combined solids were dried to give 0.16 g (77%) of bromoaniline 6.HCl as a light brown solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 7.09 (t, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 6.61 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 6.47 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 3.84 (br s, 2H), 3.77 (s, 3H).
Step 3
Bromoanisidine.HCl (5.73 g, 24.0 mmol), Aluminumtrichloride (3.52 g) and chlorobenzene (15.0 mL) are charged into an oven dried 100 mL three necked flask at rt (temperature rise to 30° C.). The resulting mixture is then stirred for 10 min then cooled to 0-5° C. followed by slow addition of acetonitrile (1.89 mL, 36.0 mmol) followed by addition of BCl3 (2.82 g), transferred as gas (or liquid) into the reaction mixture, keeping the temperature below 5° C. The resulting mixture is then stirred at rt for 20 min then heated to 85-100° C. for 16 h. HPLC indicate completion of the reaction (SM<0.5% at 220 nm). The mixture is cooled down to 50° C. then Toluene (15 mL) was added followed by slow addition of IPA (11.1 mL) then slow addition of water (32 mL) at 50° C. The resulting mixture stirred for additional 2 h at this temperature then 3 g Celite was added and the stirred mixture cooled to rt. Filtration then wash of the organic fraction with water 1×15 mL, 2×15 m: 5% NaHCO3, 1×15 mL water then concentration under reduced pressure provided 3.92-4.4 g of the desired product in 68-72% isolated yield. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 7.72 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 1H), 7.1 (br s, 2H), 6.28 (d, J=9.1 Hz, 1H), 3.94 (s, 3H), 2.55 (s, 3H).
Step 4
Oxalyl chloride (8.15 mL) is added dropwise to the cold mixture (10±5° C.) of Thiazole acid 8 (20.18 g) is dissolved in THF (300 mL) and DMF (300 μL) over a period of ˜5 min keeping the internal temperature at 10±5° C. The reaction mixture becomes yellow and homogenous. The cooling bath is removed and the mixture is allowed to reach ambient temperature over a period of ˜30 min. Gas evolution is observed. The mixture is stirred at ambient temperature for 30 min to 1 hour. A solution of aniline 7 (19.8 g), DMAP (140 mg) and THF (35 mL) was added at 10±5° C. Et3N (13.2 mL) was added in portions at 10±5° C. over a period of 10 min. The ice bath was removed and mixture was heated to 65±2° C. and stirred overnight (18 h). The mixture was allowed to reach ambient temperature, diluted with EtOAc (150 mL) and washed with water (150 mL). NaHCO3(5%, 225 mL) was added to the organic portion and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 30 min. The organic portion was concentrated under reduced pressure at approx. 40° C. EtOAc (150 mL) was added to the resulting material and the residual water was removed and the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure at approx. 40° C. (to azeotrope water). EtOAc (94 mL) was added and the resulting slurry was stirred for 2-6 h and filtered. The solid was washed with EtOAc (30 mL) followed by heptane (30 mL) and air dried for 1 h to give the desired product in 70% yield.
1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 1.32 (d, 6H, J=7.8 Hz), 2.58 (s, 3H), 2.65-2.72 (m, 1H), 3.98 (s, 3H), 6.83 (d, 1H, J=8.7 Hz), 7.70 (d, 1H, J=8.7 Hz), 7.86 (s, 1H), 8.98 (bs, 1H), 10.13 (bs, 1H).
Step 5
In a 2 L flask was placed potassium t-butoxide (112 g). Dry DME was added at room temperature (exothermic: temperature went up to 35° C.). The resultant solution was heated to ca. 80° C., and amide (88 g) was added in 10 portions slowly so temperature was kept between 80-85° C. Upon completion, reaction mixture was stirred at 85° C. for 2 hours. Solid precipitated during the reaction. HPLC analysis indicated that the reaction was completed at this point (conversion: 100%). The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and then to 10° C. with a cool bath. Aqueous 2N HCl solution (ca. 500 ml) was added slowly so temperature was kept under 25° C. to quench the reaction mixture. pH was adjusted to 4-5.

Example 2 Preparation of Dipeptide Acid Compound 13 Starting Material
A 250 mL 3-neck flask with a thermocouple, nitrogen inlet, and magnetic stir bar was charged with N-cyclopentyloxy carbonyl-tert-L-leucine (20.0 g, 82.2 mmol, 1.0 eq.), 1-hydroxy-benzotriazole (12.73 g, 90.42 mmol, 1.1 eq), and 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (17.33 g, 90.42 mmol, 1.1 eq.) The flask was purged with nitrogen, and the stiffing started. Anhydrous DMF (62 mL) was added to the flask and the mixture was stirred for 20 minutes at room temperature (about 24° C.). The reaction was mildly exothermic, the internal temperature rose to 29° C. Solid trans-4-hydroxyproline methyl ester HCl (14.93 g, 82.2 mmol, 1.0 eq) was added to the reaction in one portion. Using a syringe, diisopropyl ethyl amine (14.36 mL, 82.2 mmol, 1.0 eq) was added to the reaction dropwise over 25 min. The internal temperature rose to 34.5° C. from 29° C. The reaction was stirred for 1.75 h, forming 12. The reaction was then quenched with 0.1 M HCl (100 mL), the internal temperature rose to 34° C. The reaction was extracted three times with 75 mL of ethyl acetate, and the organic layers were combined. The organic layer was washed with 75 mL H2O, and 2×75 mL of sat. NaHCO3. The organic layer (about 235 mL) was transferred to a 500 mL flask fitted with a mechanical stirrer, shortpath distillation head, internal and external thermocouples, and distilled to minimal stirrable volume under house vacuum (˜110 mm Hg) below 35° C. internal temperature with an oil bath temperature of 40° C. To this crude mixture of 12 was then added tetrahydrofuran (150 mL) and it was distilled to minimum stirrable volume. Tetrahydrofuran (100 mL) was added to the flask, and it was again distilled to minimum stirrable volume. The distillation head was replaced with an addition funnel. Tetrahydrofuran, (100 mL) and methanol (50 mL) were added to the flask, and the solution stirred for about 15 minutes. A 3.2 M solution of LiOH (77 mL, 246.6 mmol, 3 eq.) was charged to the addition funnel, and added over 45 minutes. The temperature rose from 22° C. to 29° C., and the reaction mixture became slightly cloudy. The mixture was cooled in a cold water bath, then the reaction was quenched by slow (45 min.) addition of 4 M HCl (58-65 mL) to adjust the pH to 3.5, causing a slight increase in temperature to 27° C. The flask was fitted with a distillation head, and the methanol and tetrahydrofuran were removed by distillation at reduced pressure, with a bath temperature of 40° C., internal temperature below 30° C. The mixture was extracted twice with 150 mL of MTBE. The MTBE solution was concentrated at reduced pressure, (350 mmHg) to minimum stirrable volume. 50 mL of MTBE was added, it was removed by distillation, internal temp below 35° C. The reaction was a clear viscous liquid, 20 mL of MTBE was added, the mixture was heated to 50° C., solution was clear, the oil bath was turned off, and the solution cooled to rt, ˜24° C. over 1.5 h. To the resultant slurry was then added 60 mL MTBE, stirred 2 h, then the slurry was filtered, using ˜20 mL MTBE to transfer the mixture. The solid was then dried under vacuum at 35° C. to constant weight, 16.4 g (52%), to give the ⅓ MTBE solvate compound 13 as a colorless solid, m.p. 117-124° C.; αD=−58.6 (c 2.17, MeOH); 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO, major rotamer reported) δ: 6.76 (d, J=9.3 Hz, 1H), 5.15 (s, 1H), 4.92 (m, 1H), 4.31 (br s, 1H), 4.26 (t, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 4.19 (d, J=9.3 Hz, 1H), 3.63 (m, 2H), 3.06 (s, 1H, (MTBE)), 2.08 (m, 1H), 1.87-1.48 (m, 9H), 1.09 (s, 3H, (MTBE)), 0.92 (s, 9H).

Example 4 Dipeptide SNAr Approach to Amorphous Compound (1)
SNAr Protocol 1: A 100 mL 3-neck round bottom flask was charged with 1.93 g 13 (5.00 mmol, 1 eq.), then evacuated/Ar filled (3×), then 17.0 mL DMSO was added via syringe to give a clear, colorless solution. The flask was again evacuated/Ar filled (3×), then 2.53 g t-BuOK (22.5 mmol, 4.5 eq.) was added neat, at once. An exotherm to a maximum of 31.5° C. was observed. The flask was evacuated/Ar filled (3×), then stirred under house vacuum (˜60 mm) for one hour, and some foaming (-t-BuOH) was observed. The vacuum was relieved to Ar, then 2.20 g 11 (5.00 mmol, 1 eq.) was added neat, at once. An exotherm to 28.6° C. was observed. The flask was evacuated/Ar filled (3×), then stirred under house vacuum protected from light at ambient temperature. After 6.5 h the vacuum was relieved to Ar and a sample removed for HPLC, which showed <2% unreacted 11. The flask was then cooled in a cold water bath to 18° C., and 1.72 mL glacial HOAc (30 mmol, 6 eq.) was then added via syringe over ˜10 minutes. An exotherm to 20.5° C. was observed. The mixture was stirred for 10 minutes, then added dropwise over 15 minutes into a second flask containing a well-stirred solution of 30 mL pH 3.5H2O (˜0.001M HCl) at 18° C., causing a precipitate to form immediately, and giving an exotherm to 21.0° C. 2.0 mL DMSO was used to wash the residue into the aqueous mixture, followed by a wash of 5.0 mL ˜0.001M HCl. The resulting suspension was stirred for 15 minutes, then 30 mL of a 1:1 mixture of EtOAc:MTBE was added, and the mixture agitated vigorously for 15 minutes. Agitation was stopped and the phases were allowed to separate. Rapid phase separation and formation of 2 clear phases with no rag layer was seen. The lower aqueous phase was then reextracted with 30 mL of 1:1 EtOAc:MTBE (same fast separation), and the organic extracts were combined and saved. The aqueous phase was discarded as waste.
The organic solution was then washed with H2O (3×30 mL), again all extractions gave rapid separation of phases and no rag layer, then the EtOAc was distilled to minimal stirrable volume. The residue was then azeotroped with 30 mL THF (2×), again distilling to minimal stirrable volume. The resultant slurry of crude 18 was used immediately in the peptide coupling.

SNAr Protocol 2: 1.00 g 13 (2.59 mmol, 1 eq.) and 1.35 g 11 (2.59 mmol, 1 eq.) were charged to a dry flask. The flask was then evacuated/Ar filled (3×), then 10 mL dry DMSO was added via syringe. The flask was again evacuated/Ar filled (3×), then cooled to 19° C. with a cold water bath. To this mixture was then added a 2M solution of KDMO/heptane (5.71 mL, 11.7 mmol, 4.5 eq.) dropwise over 30 minutes. After six hours, HPLC showed the reaction as complete. The reaction was quenched with 0.89 mL HOAc (6 eq.), and added slowly to 25 mL stirring H2O, causing a precipitate to form. The mixture was then extracted with IPAc (2×25 mL). The combined IPAc phases were washed with H2O (1×25 mL), dried (MgSO4), and the solvents removed in vacuo to give a solid, which was azeotroped with MeCN (1×25 mL), and then diluted with heptane to give a slurry. The slurry was filtered and dried to give 1.80 g 18 (91%).
Peptide Coupling Protocol 1: To the THF slurry of crude 18 from SNAr Protocol 1 (taken as 5.00 mmol, 1 eq.) under Ar at ambient temperature in a flask protected from light was added 1.72 g 14 (5.5 mmol, 1.1 eq.) and 25 mL THF. The solution was then cooled to 5° C. under Ar, then 0.958 mL DIEA (5.50 mmol, 1.1 eq.) was added dropwise via syringe over 5 minutes. 5 minutes after the DIEA addition was completed, 0.85 g HOBT hydrate (6.00 mmol, 1.2 eq.), and 1.05 g EDC (5.50 mmol, 1.1 eq.) was then added neat, at once. The flask was then removed from the cold bath and the resultant mixture was then stirred at ambient temperature under Ar for 4 hours. A sample was withdrawn for HPLC which showed <2% unreacted 18 remained. The mixture was cooled to 5° C., then 40 mL 0.1N HCl was added dropwise via addition funnel over 5 minutes, followed by 40 mL EtOAc. The mixture was well agitated for 15 minutes, then agitation was stopped and the phases were allowed to separate. The lower aqueous phase was then reextracted with 40 mL EtOAc and the organic phases were combined and saved. The aqueous phase was discarded as waste. The organic solution was then washed with H2O (1×40 mL), sat’d NaHCO3 (2×40 mL), and again H2O (1×40 mL), then distilled to minimal stirrable volume. The residue was then azeotroped with MTBE (2×40 mL), and again distilled to minimal stirrable volume. The residue was dried under high vacuum to give 4.70 g of crude 19 as an orange solid, with HPLC purity of 78.3%. This material was then chromatographed on silica gel eluting with 2:1 EtOAc:Hexane to give 3.01 g (68% over 2 steps) pure 19 as a yellow powder.

Peptide Coupling Protocol 2: A 5 L 4-neck RBF fitted with mech. stirrer, addition funnel, and thermocouple was charged with 69.57 g 14 (222 mmol, 1.3 eq.), then evacuated/Ar filled (3×). To this was then added a 200 mL THF solution of 18 (contains 129.85 g 171 mmol, 1 eq.), then 523 mL THF was charged to bring the final THF volume to 1 L. The mixture was then cooled to 4.0° C. under Ar. 38.67 mL DIEA (222 mmol, 1.3 eq.) was then added dropwise via addition funnel over 10 minutes, as the internal temperature fell to 2.4° C. The mixture was aged 5 minutes, then 29.98 g HOBT H2O (222 mmol, 1.3 eq.) was added, followed by 42.57 g EDC (222 mmol, 1.3 eq.). The internal temperature was then 3.6° C. The bath was then removed. The internal temperature rose to 20.5° C. over 90 minutes. 4 h after the EDC addition was completed, HPLC showed the reaction was complete. The mixture was cooled to 4.0° C., then 750 mL 0.1N HCl was added over 30 minutes via addition funnel, giving an exotherm to 9.5° C. To this mixture was then added 250 mL sat’d NaCl, followed by 1 L IPAc. After 5 min. vigorous stirring, the mixture was added to a separatory funnel, and the phases were separated. The lower aq. phase was then reextracted with 500 mL IPAc, and the IPAc phases combined. These were then washed successively with H2O (1×1 L), sat’d NaHCO3 (1×1 L), and then H2O (1×1 L). The mixture was then mech. stirred for 12 h to precipitate quinoline 7. The mixture was then filtered through a medium-fritted funnel, and the filtrate distilled until minimal stirrable volume was reached. The residue was then azeotroped with MTBE (2×400 mL), and again distilled to minimal stirrable volume. The residue was dried under high vacuum to give 128 g of 19 as a yellow solid, with HPLC purity of 89%.
140 mg 19 (0.158 mmol, 1 eq.) was dissolved in 1.6 mL THF+0.80 mL MeOH at ambient temperature under N2. To this solution was then added 0.79 mL 1.6 M LiOH (1.27 mmol, 8 eq.) dropwise over 5 minutes. After 1.5 h, the organic solvents were removed in vacuo, and the residue diluted with 10 mL EtOAc+10 mL sat’d NaCl. The pH was then adjusted to 5.75 with 1N HCl. The mixture was agitated vigorously for one hour, then the phases were separated. The aqueous phase was reextracted with 10 mL EtOAc. The combined EtOAc phases were then washed with H2O (2×25 mL), dried (MgSO4, and the solvents removed in vacuo to give 125 mg of Compound (1) (91%) as an amorphous yellow powder.

Example 6 Preparation of Type A of Compound (1)
Amorphous Compound (1) (Batch 7, 13.80 g) was added to a 1000 ml three neck flask. Absolute ethanol (248.9 g) was added to the flask. While stirring, the contents of the flask were heated at 60 degrees C./hr to ˜74 degrees C. (Solids do not dissolve at 74 degrees C.). Water (257.4 g) was then added linearly over 4 hr to the resulting slurry while stirring and maintaining the temperature at 74 degrees C. After the water addition was complete, the temperature was reduced linearly to ambient temperature at 8 degrees C./hr and then held at ambient temperature for 6 hrs while stiffing. The resulting solids were collected by filtration and washed with 50 ml of 1/1 (w/w) EtOH/Water. The wet solids were dried on the funnel for 30 minutes by sucking N2 through the cake.

Laninamivir (CS-8958) is a neuraminidase inhibitor which is being researched for the treatment and prophylaxis of Influenzavirus A and Influenzavirus B.[1] It is currently in Phase III clinical trials. [2]
Laninamivir was approved for influenza treatment in Japan in 2010 and is currently marketed under the name “Inavir” by Daiichi Sankyo. Biota Pharmaceuticals [3] and Daiichi Sankyo co-own Laninamivir. On 1st April 2011, BARDA awarded up to an estimated U$231m to Biota Pharmaceuticals (Formerly Biota Holdings Ltd) wholly owned subsidiary, Biota Scientific Management Pty Ltd, for the advanced development of Laninamivir in the US.

DRUG FOR TREATMENT OF INFLUENZA
|
The recent flu scares – first H5N1 bird flu and then H1N1 swine flu – transformed Roche’s neuraminidase inhibitor Tamiflu (oseltamivir) into a household name, along with GSK’s Relenza (zanamivir). Both of these require twice-daily dosing, and the orally available oseltamivir is the first choice, but resistance is starting to appear.
A new neuraminidase inhibitor, laninamivir, is being developed by Daiichi Sankyo.5 When administered as the octanoate prodrug form, it appears that a single dose might be sufficient to treat influenza, weekly doses could be preventative, and it is active against extremely pathogenic H5N1 strains.
Laninamivir octanoateIn a double blind, randomised, placebo-controlled Phase I study in 76 healthy male volunteers, subjects were given inhaled single doses of 5, 10, 20, 40, 80 or 120mg of the prodrug, or twice-daily doses of 20 or 40mg for three days.6 No adverse events were observed, and while the prodrug disappeared from the plasma with a half-life of about two hours, the laninamivir itself was much more slowly eliminated, with a half-life of the order of three days, suggesting the potential for giving long-lasting activity against influenza.
In another Phase I trial, a total of 20 healthy subjects with renal function ranging from normal to severely impaired were given single inhaled 20mg doses of the prodrug.7 The degree of renal impairment did not affect the maximum concentration or the time to achieve it, but the half-life increased as renal function reduced. This indicates that the rate-limiting step for elimination is drug release rate to plasma from tissues rather than renal excretion. It was well tolerated, but systemic exposure increased with increasing renal impairment.
It has also been compared with oseltamivir in patients with influenza. A total of 186 children under 10 who had had febrile influenza symptoms for no longer than 36 hours were randomised to receive 20 or 40mg of laninamivir octanoate as a single inhalation or 2mg/kg oseltamivir orally twice a day for five days.8
The new drug gave a significant reduction, of 61 hours for the 40mg group and 66 for the 20mg group, in median time to illness alleviation compared with oseltamivir in those with oseltamivir-resistant H1N1 influenza A. However, there was no significant difference in the time to alleviation of illness with H3N2 influenza A, or influenza B.
The most common side-effects were gastrointestinal problems.
In a Phase III trial, a total of 1,003 adult patients with febrile influenza symptoms for no more than 36 hours were given similar doses to those in the trial in children.9 Median time to alleviation of illness was 73h for 40mg, 86h for 20mg, and 74h for oseltamivir, and the proportion of patients shedding virus at day 3 was significantly lower in the 40mg group than for those given oseltamivir.

Infection of poultry with H5N1 avian influenza virus has been expanding since 2003 in wide areas including Asia, Europe and Africa. Humans infected with this virus have been found not only in Asia but also in Middle East and Africa. If a new type of H5N1 influenza virus has appeared and its infection has started, it is believed that the infection will rapidly expand to cause a worldwide spread (i.e., influenza pandemic) because most people do not possess immunity against that virus and influenza viruses spread via droplet infection and airborne infection. More than half of human patients infected with H5N1 influenza virus have died so far. Thus, the virus is highly pathogenic. It is known that three influenza pandemics, the Spanish Flu, the Asian Flu and the Hong Kong Flu, occurred in the 20th century. In the Spanish Flu which caused the largest number of patients, it is estimated that about 20-40 million people died in the world and about 0.5 million people in Japan.
According to a report from Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare made in November, 2005, if a new type influenza virus has spread, the number of patients who will consult medical doctors in Japan as a result of infection with that virus is estimated about 18-25 million. Further, when the pathogenicity of that new type influenza virus is severe, the number of inpatients is estimated about 0.2 million while the number of dead is estimated about 0.64 million. Therefore, not only health hazard but also significant influences upon social activities are feared.
Thus, a new type influenza can cause a highly severe disease. Early development of effective therapeutics is demanded.
Although it is reported that zanamivir (in particular, zanamivir hydrate) and oseltamivir (in particular, oseltamivir phosphate or oseltamivir carboxylate) which are influenza therapeutics with neuraminidase inhibitory activity show an inhibitory activity against H5N1 influenza virus, compounds with more excellent activity are desired (Non-Patent Document 1 or 2). Further, H5N1 influenza virus strains against which oseltamivir does not show any inhibitory activity (i.e., oseltamivir resistant virus strains) have been reported. Compounds which possess an inhibitory activity against these oseltamivir resistant H5N1 influenza virus strains are desired (Non-Patent Document 1 or 2).
Compounds represented by formula (I) are known to be useful as influenza therapeutics with neuraminidase inhibitory activity (Patent Documents 1 to 3). However, it has not been reported that these compounds have an inhibitory activity against H5N1 influenza virus. Further, the structures of the compounds represented by formula (I) resemble the structure of zanamivir but are completely different from the structure of oseltamivir.
