Loxiglumide


Loxiglumide

Loxiglumide, CR-1505
molecular formula  :C21H30Cl2N2O5
molecular weight 461.3793
CAS NO:107097-80-3

WO 1987003869

Rottapharm (Originator)

4-[(3,4-Dichlorobenzoyl)amino]-5-[(3-methoxypropyl)pentylamino]-5-oxopentanoic acid, (±)-4-(3,4-dichlorobenzamido)-N-(3-methoxypropyl)-N-pentylglutaramic acid

Cholecystokinin (CCK) belongs to the group of substances known as brain-gut peptides and function as a neuropeptide and as a gut hormone. (Noble et al., Pharmacol. Rev. 1999, 51(4):745-781; Crawley et al., Peptides 1994, 15(4):731-755). It is now evident that at least two different receptors, namely CCK1 (formerly CCKA or alimentary) and CCK2 (formerly CCKB or brain) receptors, mediate CCK biological actions. (Noble et al., Pharmacol. Rev., 1999, 51(4):745-781; Woodruff and Hughes, Ann. Rev. Pharmacol. 1991, 31:469-501). CCK1 receptors are found in peripheral tissues, including the GI tract.

CCK is secreted primarily in response to meals and plays a well-recognized role in regulating gallbladder contraction and pancreatic enzyme secretion. Over the last decade, considerable evidence has emerged to support the concept that CCK plays an equally important role in the regulation of motor and sensory functions at various levels of the human upper GI tract. Specifically, the native peptide delays gastric emptying, modulates gastric sensory function (especially in response to fat), increases the rate of meal-induced, transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations (TLESRs) and affects small bowel and colonic transit.

The CCK1 antagonists loxiglumide and dexloxiglumide have demonstrated the ability to reverse the physiologic effects of CCK on gastric emptying and to decrease dyspeptic symptoms induced by air distension and fat infusion. By example,loxiglumide reduced both exogenous and endogenous CCK-induced delay in gastric emptying of liquids and solids in healthy subjects (Borovicka et al., Am J Physiol. 1996, 271:448-453; Schwizer et al., Gut. 1997, 41(4):500-504). Dexloxiglumide reversed the diminished tolerance to water volume that occurred from CCK release in response to duodenal lipid infusion; the effect was due to reduction of intragastric volume, primarily due to accelerated gastric emptying (Lal et al., Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol. 2004, 287(1):72-79). When proximal gastric relaxation was produced in healthy subjects by duodenal infusion of lipid, a potent stimulus of CCK release, the relaxation was reversed by loxiglumide (Feinle et al., Gastroenterology 1996, 110(5):1379-1385). Also, loxiglumide modulated antro-pyloroduodenal dysmotility, which is postulated to play a role in generation of dyspeptic symptoms, after it was experimentally induced in healthy subjects by intraduodenal infusion of a mixed liquid meal (Katschinski et al., Eur J Clin Invest. 1996, 26(7):574-583). Loxiglumide was also able to reverse the lowering of intragastric pressure of healthy subjects after duodenal infusion of lipids induced sensations such as fullness and nausea (See Feinle et al., 1996).

In patients with nonulcer dyspepsia and delayed gastric emptying, loxiglumide was shown to accelerate gastric emptying by comparison to placebo (Chua AS, Bekkering M, et al., 1994). Loxiglumide significantly improved dyspeptic symptoms in patients with non-ulcer dyspepsia in an 8-week study (Chua et al., Ann N Y Acad. Sci. 1994, 713:298-299). In another study in patients with functional dyspepsia, aggravation of nausea, fullness, discomfort, bloating and pain was produced by duodenal infusion of lipid with or without balloon distension; dexloxiglumide significantly improved dyspepsia symptom scores compared to placebo (Feinle et al., Gut. 2001, 48(3): 347-355).

Pharmaceutical compositions comprising CCKB antagonists and a proton pump inhibitor to control gastric acid secretion in gastrointestinal disorders have been described in the literature. (See WO 04/098610, WO 04/101533, WO 04/098609, WO 03/041714, WO 01/90078, WO 01/85724, WO 01/85723, WO 01/85704, WO 01/85167, and WO 93/12817) CCK-B receptors mediate CCK biological actions in the brain and are one of several regulators of gastric acid secretion. It is the CCK1 receptors, however, that mediate the CCK biological actions in peripheral tissues including gastric emptying and esophageal sphincter effects.

In addition, combination therapy of a PPI and a second agent, e.g., loxiglumide, to improve impaired esophageal motility has been disclosed as a possible treatment to gastroesophageal reflux disease. (Tonini et al., Drugs 2004, 64(4): 347-361). International Application Nos. PCT/EP2004/050936 and PCT/EP2005/050336 also disclose pharmaceutical combinations of a proton pump inhibitor and a compound that modifies gastrointestinal motility. Both international applications disclose that dexloxiglumide may be useful for therapy of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or GERD and may be used to modify gastrointestinal motility.

D,l-4-(3,4-dichlorobenzoylamino)-5-(N-3-methoxypropyl-pentylamino)-5-oxopentanoic acid (CR 1505; loxiglumide) is a newly developed analog of proglumide.

N-(3,4-dichlorobenzoyl)-glutamic acid anhydride (I) is condensed with N-(3-methoxypropyl)-N-pentylamine (II) in water at 5 °C to produce Loxiglumide.

FDA Advisory Committee Recommends Approval of Takeda’s Investigational Biologic Vedolizumab


 

Deerfield, Ill., December 9, 2013 and Osaka, Japan, December 10, 2013 — Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (“Takeda”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc., today announced that a joint panel of members from the Gastrointestinal Drugs and Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committees of the United States (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) voted to recommend approval of Takeda’s vedolizumab for the treatment of adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). All 21 committee members voted that based on currently available efficacy and safety data, the benefits outweigh the potential risks of vedolizumab to support approval for UC. Specifically, 13 committee members supported approval for UC patients who have failed steroids or immunosuppressants or TNF-α antagonists, while eight committee members supported approval for UC patients who have failed immunosuppressants or TNF-α antagonists (the indicated population would not include patients that failed steroids only). Twenty of the 21 committee members voted to support approval for CD. Specifically, 14 committee members supported approval for CD patients who have failed steroids or immunosuppressants or TNF-α antagonists while six supported approval for CD patients who have failed immunosuppressants or TNF-α antagonists (the indicated population would not include patients that failed steroids only).

About Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis
Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are the two most common forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which is marked by inflammation in the lining of the GI tract. CD can impact any part of the digestive tract, and common symptoms may include abdominal pain, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, weight loss, and/or fever. UC impacts the large intestine only, which includes the colon and the rectum. The most common symptoms of UC include abdominal discomfort and blood or pus in diarrhea. There is no known cause for CD or UC, although many researchers believe that the interaction of an outside agent, such as a virus or bacteria, with the body’s immune system may trigger them. No cure exists for CD or UC; the aim of IBD treatments is to induce and maintain remission, or achieve extended periods of time when patients do not experience symptoms.

About vedolizumab
Vedolizumab was developed for the treatment of CD and UC, as a gut-selective, humanized monoclonal antibody that specifically antagonizes the alpha4beta7 (α4β7) integrin, which is expressed on a subset of circulating white blood cells. These cells have been shown to play a role in mediating the inflammatory process in CD and UC. α4β7 binds with a specific adhesion molecule primarily expressed in the intestinal tract. Therefore, vedolizumab, by preventing this interaction, has a gut selective effect.

Vedolizumab is a monoclonal antibody being developed by Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for the treatment of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.It binds to integrin α4β7(LPAM-1, lymphocyte Peyer’s patch adhesion molecule 1).[1][2]

The molecule was first identified by Dr. Andrew Lazarovits [1][2] as the murine MLN0002 homologue. His discovery of the mouse equivalent of this antibody—originally applied to anti-rejection strategies in kidney transplantation—was published in the journal Nature in 1996. The drug was then licensed to Millennium Pharmaceuticals of Boston for further development.

As of October 2009, vedolizumab is undergoing Phase III trials.[3] Clinical trials indicate that Vedolizumab was found safe and highly effective for inducing and maintaining clinical remission in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis [3]. Dr. Brian Faegan, head researcher, reported an absence of any instances of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), which is a particularly important finding [4]. It looks like it will be an effective abiologic agent without some of the toxicity issues previously seen with anti-TNF drugs .

It is widely believed now that “vedolizumab can be used either as a first-line treatment or in case of anti-TNF failure”

  • International application No. WO 2005/058804A1 describes a process for the preparation of rivastigmine by streoselective reduction.

The synthesis of rivastigmine was reported in U.S. Pat. No. 5,602,176, GB2409453, and Yonwen, Jiang et. al. [Journal of East China Normal University (Natural Science), 2001, 1, 61-65], in which the method is disclosed as: preparing racemic rivastigmine by a series of reactions, then salifying the result with D-(+)-O, o′-bis-p-tolyl formacyl tartaric acid monohydrate (D-DTTA) to separate the racemic mixture, and recrystallizing at least three time to obtain (S)-rivastigmine with an optical purity of above 99%. The final yield is only 5.14%.

A method for resolution of a intermediate of rivastigmine is also disclosed in WO2007014973, in which S-(+)-camphor sulfonic acid is used to separate racemic intermediates of 3-(1-(methylamino) ethyl)phenol, and the result condensates with N-methyl-N-ethyl-amino formacyl chloride to obtain N-methylethylcarbamino-3-[(S)-1-(methylamino)-ethyl]phenyl ester, and a methylation is then performed on the nitrogen atom followed by salifying with L-(+)-tartaric acid so that rivastigmine is obtained. The methylation needs a reduction system of sodium cyanoborohydride/formaldehyde, in which sodium cyanoborohydride is highly toxic, so that the method is not suitable for industrial production. The specific synthesis route is shown below:

Figure US08324429-20121204-C00004

The resolution methods mentioned above are time consuming with low yields, so that final yields are reduced and costs are increased, which are not beneficial for industrial production and the optical purity of rivastigmine cannot be guaranteed.

Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of Rivastigmine via Dynamic Kinetic Resolution as a Key Step
J. Org. Chem.  2010,  75:  3105-3108

Rivastigmine (Exelon®) is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor that is prescribed for the treatment of mild to moderate dementia in patients with Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. The key step in the synthesis depicted is a dynamic kinetic resolution of the benzylic secondary alcohol B involving a lipase (Novozyme 435) coupled with a polymer-bound racemization catalyst (C).

The polymer-bound racemization catalyst C was prepared by heating a polymer-bound benzoyl chloride with [Ph4(η4-C4CO]Ru(CO)3 in toluene for one day. The catalyst can be recycled several times. The enzymatic resolution was performed on a 1 mmol scale. For an alternative chemoenzymatic synthesis of rivastigmine, see: J. Mangas-Sánchez et al. J. Org. Chem. 2009, 74, 5304.

Farletuzumab

Farletuzumab (MORAb-003) is a monoclonal antibody[1] which is being investigated for the treatment of ovarian cancer.[2][3]

This drug was developed by Morphotek, Inc.

It is targeted at FR-alpha which is overexpressed in some cancers such as ovarian cancer.

Farletuzumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets the folate receptor alpha (FRα), could potentially be used in the treatment of patients with relapsed ovarian cancer, according to the results of a recent open-label phase II trial.Armstrong and colleagues investigated the efficacy of farletuzumab as a single agent or in combination with standard chemotherapy in patients with relapsed ovarian cancer following first-line therapy.


Farletuzumab is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody that targets
the human folate receptor FRα, which is overexpressed in most ovarian
epithelial cancers. It is being developed by Morphotek (now part of
Eisai) for the treatment of ovarian cancer, with regulatory submissions
in 2012.

The pivotal Phase III study in ovarian cancer began
in March 2009; Phase II studies in other indications have since begun.
The 900-patient Phase III study is evaluating two doses of
farletuzumab as an add-on to the standard treatment regimen of
carboplatin and a taxane; this study is  completed in
September 2012. A 165-patient study in lung adenocarcinoma began in
December 2010. The initial Phase I study in 25 patients with epithelial
ovarian cancers showed farletuzumab to be well tolerated, with evidence
of efficacy in 36% of the patients (Konner et al. 2010).22

Phase II data from a 54-patient study were presented at the 2008 ASCO meeting, with at least some evidence of efficacy seen in 90% of the treated patients.
Farletuzumab represents one of a number of new treatment options
being developed for the treatment of ovarian cancer, with several other
modalities such as kinase inhibition or PARP inhibition also showing
promise. However, the available evidence suggests that farletuzumab
is likely to represent a significant enhancement in the subset of ovarian
cancer patients at which it has been targeted. If it becomes widely
accepted as a component of the platinum-based treatment regimen, then
it can be expected to be a significant commercial success.

NMDA is an excitatory amino acid. The excitatory amino acids are an important group of neurotransmitters that mediate excitatory neurotransmission in the central nervous system. Glutamic acid and aspartic acid are two endogenous ligands that activate excitatory amino acid (EAA) receptors. There are two types of EAA receptors, ionotropic and metabotropic, which differ in their mode of signal transduction. There are at least three distinct ionotropic EAA receptors characterized by the selective agonist that activates each type: the NMDA, the AMPA (2-amino-3-(5-methyl-3- hdyroxyisoxazol-4-yl)propanoic acid) and the kainic acid receptors. The ionotropic EAA receptors are linked to ion channels that are permeable to sodium and, in the case of NMDA receptors, calcium. Metabotropic receptors, linked to phosphoinositide hydrolysis by a membrane associated G-protein, are activated by quisqualic acid, ibotenic acid, and (1S, 3R)-1-aminocyclopentane 1 ,3-dicarboxyiic acid.

The NMDA receptor is a macromolecular complex consisting of a number of distinct binding sites that gate on ion channels permeable to sodium and calcium ions. Hansen and Krogsgaard-Larson, Med. Res. Rev.. .10, 55-94 (1990). There are binding sites for glutamic acid, glycine, and polyamines, and a site inside the ion channel where compounds such as phencyclidine (PCP) exert their antagonist effects.

Competitive NMDA antagonists are compounds that block the NMDA receptor by interacting with the glutamate binding site. The ability of a particular compound to competitively bind to the NMDA glutamate receptor may be determined using a radioligand binding assay, as described by Murphy e l., British J. Pharmacol.. 95, 932- 938 (1988). The antagonists may be distinguished from the agonists using a rat cortical wedge assay, as described by Harrison and Simmonds, British J. Pharmacol.. 84, 381- 391 (1984). Examples of competitive NMDA antagonists include D-2 amino 5- phosphonopentanoic acid (D-AP5), and D-2-amino-7-phosphonoheptanoic acid, Schoepp et a]. , J. Neur. Transm.. 85, 131-143 (1991).

4-Hydroxypropiophenone (I) was protected as the triisopropylsilyl ether (II) and subsequently brominated with elemental bromine in CCl4. The resultant bromo ketone (III) was subsequently coupled with 4-hydroxy-4-phenylpiperidine (IV) to afford the racemic amino ketone (V). This was stereoselectively reduced with NaBH4 in EtOH yielding the threo-amino alcohol (VI). Then, desilylation of (VI) with tetrabutylammonium fluoride furnished the racemic phenol compound. Resolution into the enantiomers has been reported by formation of the . corresponding D-tartaric acid salts Finally, the title product was obtained by dissolving D-(-)-tartaric salt (VII) in water in the presence of methanesulfonic acid

The proton splitting pattem at 1.96-2.06 ppm appears as two doublets when acquired on a high-field instrument (500 MHz), but only as a triplet when acquired with a lower field (300 MHz) instrument. This is believed to be due to a salt effect arising from the mesylate.

FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation: Third Drug Receives FDA Approval


Orphan Druganaut Blog's avatarOrphan Druganaut Blog

The FDA approves on December 6, the third drug to have the coveted Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD). The approval is for Gilead Sciences’ non-orphan drug Sovaldi (Sofosbuvir) for the treatment of patients with chronic Hepatitis C (HCV). What is a “breakthrough” about this approval is the fact that Sovaldi is the first drug that safely and with efficacy, treats particular types of HCV without the need for co-administration of Interferon.

Per Gilead Sciences’ Press Release, approximately 4 million Americans are infected with HCV in the United States. The current standard of care for HCV is up to 48 weeks with a pegylated interferon (peg-IFN)/ribavirin (RBV)-containing regimen, depending on the patient’s particular HCV genotype. Sovaldi is a once-daily oral nucleotide analog polymerase inhibitor receiving approval for chronic HCV as a part of a combination antiviral treatment regimen. The drug blocks a protein used by HCV to replicate.

According to a Reuters online article, most patients will be…

Iloperidone(Fanapt) is a monoamine directed towards acting upon and antagonizing specific neurotransmitters, particularly multiple dopamine and serotonin receptor subtypes.

Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe, and debilitating mental disorder that affects approximately 2.4 million Americans, around 1.1% of the population. The net cost of this disorder is staggering as estimates from 2002 reveal this disorder to cost $62.7 billion. A major issue with the treatment of schizophrenia is that patients show varying levels of response and tolerance to available therapies. Although the symptoms of the disease are very severe, estimates show that approximately 3 out of 4 patients discontinue medication prior to completing 18 months of treatment, many times due to the severe side effects of the approved medications.

The first reported synthetic method for Iloperidone is described in patent EP 402644 A1.

In U.S. Patent US5776963 and patent family EP4 (^ 644, there is disclosed a method for preparing iloperidone,

The synthetic method reported(4, 5) for 1 involves two chemical steps: O-alkylation of acetovanillone (2) with 1-bromo-3-chloropropane (3) to obtain chloro derivative 4 followed byN-alkylation of piperidine intermediate 5 with 4. The reported process for 4 comprises O-alkylation of 2 with 3 in acetone in the presence of potassium carbonate for 20 h to provide 4as an oil after usual work up, which was then vacuum (0.1 mmHg) distilled to collect desired product 4 at 141–143 °C with around 85% yield (Scheme 1, Path A). Some of the drawbacks of this process are as follows: longer reaction time (around 20 h), formation of 6–7% of dimer impurity (10, Scheme 2), high-vacuum distillation to achieve the quality, which is always a cumbersome process at industrial scale, requiring special apparatus and skill set, and degradation and charring of some portion of product during high-vacuum distillation. Further, the next step comprises N-alkylation of 4 with 5 in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) in the presence of potassium carbonate to provide iloperidone (1) as a crude solid, which was purified by crystallization using ethanol to yield pure 1 with 58% yield (Scheme 1, Path A). Some of the lacunae observed with the above process includes the following: (a) low yields, (b) formation of carbamate impurity 13 (Scheme 2) in the range 15–20% due to the use of potassium carbonate, (c) ineffective purification by crystallization using ethanol to eliminate carbamate impurity below 0.15%, and (d) iloperidone obtained by the above synthetic process was beige in color.

A few other improved processes reported…(Improved and Efficient Process for the Production of Highly Pure Iloperidone: A Psychotropic Agent)subsequently for 1 follow the same reaction sequence (Scheme 1, Path A) using compounds 4 and 5 as key starting materials with different bases and solvents.(6-13) However, the reported processes do not address a control mechanism for impurities 8911, and 13 (Scheme 2) formed during the synthesis of 1. In order to eliminate these impurities, the reported processes involve employment of multiple purifications using a single solvent or mixture of solvents or purification by means of formation of the acid addition salt of 1 followed by converting back to pure 1.(6-13)

The synthetic route is as follows:

The reaction of piperidine-4-carboxylic acid (I) with formic acid and acetic anhydride gives 1-formylpiperidine-4-carboxylic acid (II), which is treated with SOCl2 and acetic anhydride to yield the corresponding acyl chloride (III). The Friedel-Crafts condensation of (III) with refluxing 1,3-difluorobenzene (IV) by means of AlCl3 affords 4-(2,4-difluorobenzoyl)-1-formylpiperidine (V), which is treated with hydroxylamine in refluxing ethanol to give the corresponding oxime (VI). The cyclization of (VI) by means of NaH in hot THF/DMF yields 6-fluoro-3-(1-formylpiperidin-4-yl)-1,2-benzisoxazole (VII), which is treated with HCl in refluxing ethanol to afford 6-fluoro-3-(4-piperidyl)-1,2-benzisoxazole (VIII). Finally, this compound is condensed with 4-(3-chloropropoxy)-3-methoxyacetophenone (IX) by means of K2CO3 in hot DMF. The intermediate 4-(3-chloropropoxy)-3-methoxyacetophenone (IX) can be obtained by condensation of 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyacetophenone (IX) with 3-chcloropropyl bromide (X) by means of NaH or K2CO3 in DMF.

Iloperidone, also known as FanaptFanapta, and previously known as Zomaril, is an atypical antipsychotic for the treatment ofschizophrenia.

 

Accordingly, 6-fluoro-3-(4-piperidyl)-1,2-benzoxazole 1 and 1-[4-(3-chloropropoxy)-3-methoxy-phenyl]ethanone 2 were heated in presence of potassium carbonate using dimethylformamide solvent to afford 1-[4-[3-[4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzoxazol-3-yl)-1-piperidyl]propoxy]-3-methoxy-phenyl]ethanone also called Iloperidone

It was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the United States on May 6, 2009.

It’s not yet approved in India.

Hoechst Marion Roussel Inc. made initial inquiries into the drug; however, in May 1996, they discontinued research, and in June 1997 gave research rights to Titan Pharmaceuticals. Titan then handed over worldwide development, manufacturing and marketing rights to Novartis in August 1998. On June 9, 2004, Titan Pharmaceuticals announced that the Phase III development rights have been acquired by Vanda Pharmaceuticals. The original launch date was scheduled for 2002. On November 27, 2007, Vanda Pharmaceuticals announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had accepted their New Drug Application for iloperidone, confirming the application is ready for FDA review and approval. On July 28, 2008, the FDA issued a “Not Approvable” letter to Vanda Pharmaceuticals concerning the drug, stating that further trials are required before a decision can be made concerning marketed usage of iloperidone.

Chemically designated as 1-[4-[3-[4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]propoxy]-3-methoxyphenyl]ethanone, is a second generation atypical antipsychotic agent. Iloperidone, also known as Fanapt, Fanapta, and Zomaril, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the United States on May 6, 2009 and is indicated for the acute treatment of schizophrenia in adults. Iloperidone has been shown to act as an antagonist at all tested receptors. It was found to block the sites of noradrenalin (α2C), dopamine (D2A and D3), and serotonin (5-HT1A and 5-HT6) receptors.(2) In addition, pharmacogenomic studies identified single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with an enhanced response to iloperidone during acute treatment of schizophrenia. It is considered an “atypical” antipsychotic because it displays serotonin receptor antagonism, similar to other atypical antipsychotics. The older typical antipsychotics are primarily dopamine antagonists.(3)

Iloperidone won FDA approval for use treating schizophrenia in the United States on May 6, 2009

Iloperidone (1-[4-[3-[4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazole-3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]propoxy]-3-methoxyphenyl]ethanone) is an atypical new-generation antipsychotic medicament belonging to the class of piperidinyl-benzisoxazole derivatives, which is used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and other psychiatric conditions. Iloperidone acts as a serotonin/dopamine receptor antagonist (5-HT2A/D2).

Iloperidone, also known as Fanapt, Fanapta, and previously known as Zomaril, is an atypical antipsychotic drug used for the treatment of schizophrenia. The chemical name of iloperidone is l-[4-[3-[4-(6-fluoro-l,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)-l- piperidinyl]propoxy] -3-methoxyphenyl]ethanone.

EP 0402644 patent discloses first synthetic route of synthesis of iloperidone as shown in Scheme I, which consists of alkylation reaction between l-(4-(3-chloropropoxy-3- methoxyphenyl)ethanone of the formula (II) and 6-fluoro-3-piperidin-4-yl-l ,2 benzisoxazole hydrochloride of the formula (III) in presence of potassium carbonate in N,N dimethyl formamide. The reaction has been subsequently worked up and the compound of formula (I) is extracted from water using ethyl acetate. The compound of formula (I) is purified by crystallization using ethanol. The overall yield of compound of formula (I) is 58%.

Formula (I)

SCHEME 1 Further, we have analyzed the reported synthetic route for synthesis of iloperidone; following limitations have been observed and identified in the reported synthetic route:

a) The yield obtained using said synthetic route as reported in US RE39198 is 58%. Hence, this route of synthesis is not cost efficient at commercial scale due to low yield;

b) Use of potassium carbonate as a base in reaction leads to formation of carbon dioxide as one of the side products during the reaction, which further hinders in the manufacturing process by actively participating in manufacturing process and thereby leads to the formation o

Figure imgf000004_0001

Formula (IV)

which is in the range of 15-20%, and thereby resulting in low yield of iloperidone;

c) Purification by crystallization using ethanol as a solvent is not effective in eliminating or controlling carbamate impurity below 0.15% as per the ICH guide lines for the known impurities; and

d) Iloperidone obtained by the above synthetic process is beige in colour.

CN101768154 discloses the synthesis of iloperidone by N-alkylation reaction between l-(4-(3- chloropropoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)ethanone of the formula (II) and 6-fluoro-3-piperidin-4-yl-l,2 benzisoxazole hydrochloride of the formula (III) in inorganic alkaline solution, particularly; alkali metal carbonate solution. We have analyzed the reported synthetic route for synthesis of iloperidone and have observed and identified that the use of alkaline carbonate solution leads to the formation of carbamate impurity in the range of 1 to 1.5%.

Several patents were published after, describing essentially the same synthetic way such as US5364866 and US5663449.

The synthesis of iloperidone is described in USRE39198 (corresponding to EP 0 402 644 example 3) according to the following synthesis scheme:

Figure US20130261308A1-20131003-C00002

In agreement with said patent, the intermediate isolated, 1-[4-(3-chloropropoxy)-3-methoxyphenyl]ethanone, is reacted with 6-fluoro-3-(4-piperidinyl)-1,2-benzisoxazole hydrochloride in N,N-dimethyl formamide at 90° C. for 16 hours. When the reaction is complete, the mixture is poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The crude product thus obtained is crystallised twice from ethanol to give crystallised iloperidone with a total yield of 58%.

The yield of this process is very low; moreover, the process begins with two isolated intermediates, and requires an aqueous extractive work-up step with an increase in volumes and consequent reduction in the productivity and efficiency of the process. Said process also requires a double crystallisation step to obtain a beige product. The quality levels obtained are not described in the text of the example, but a beige color does not suggest a high-quality product, as iloperidone is a white substance.

The synthesis of intermediate 1-[4-(3-chloropropoxy)-3-methoxyphenyl]ethanone is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,366,162. Example 1 describes the preparation of said intermediate by reacting acetovanillone with 1-bromo-3-chloropropane in acetone with potassium carbonate. At the end of the reaction the resulting product is purified by distillation and obtained as an oily intermediate which is left to stand in order to obtain the solid intermediate.

The synthesis of intermediate 1-[4-(3-chloropropoxy)-3-methoxyphenyl]ethanone is also disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,810,713. Preparation 12 describes the synthesis of said intermediate from acetovanillone and 1-bromo-3-chloropropane in sodium hydroxide alkalinized water. At the end of the reaction the product obtained is extracted in toluene, the organic phases are washed with basic aqueous solutions and finally, the intermediate 1-[4-(3-chloropropoxy)-3-methoxyphenyl]ethanone is crystallised with the aid of diisopropyl ether. The intermediate isolated is then recrystallised twice from cyclohexane and twice from petroleum ether.

An alternative process for the synthesis of iloperidone is reported in CN 102070626.

Scheme 2 shows the synthesis procedure:

Figure US20130261308A1-20131003-C00003

The decision to alkylate acetovanillone with 1-chloro-3-propanol requires an extra synthesis step (to convert the OH group to an OR leaving group) compared with the procedure reported by the combination of patents USRE39198 (EP402644) and U.S. Pat. No. 4,366,162/U.S. Pat. No. 4,810,713, making said process less efficient from the economic standpoint.

WO2011061750 discloses an alternative iloperidone synthesis process as reported in Scheme 3:

Figure US20130261308A1-20131003-C00004

Said process uses reagents such as methyl magnesium chloride to effect the Grignard reaction to convert the aldehyde group to a secondary alcohol group, which are much more complicated to manage on an industrial scale than the synthesis methods previously described. Moreover, the oxidation reaction of the next step uses reagents such as chromic acid or potassium permanganate, which have a very high environmental impact and very low industrial applicability.

WO2011055188 discloses a process for the synthesis of iloperidone comparable to the one reported in USRE39198 from two isolated intermediates 1-[4-(3-chloropropoxy)-3-methoxyphenyl]ethanone and 6-fluoro-3-(4-piperidinyl)-1,2-benzisoxazole hydrochloride. The same patent application also gives preparation examples of the intermediate 1-[4-(3-chloropropoxy)-3-methoxyphenyl]ethanone isolated as crystalline solid by procedures similar to those known in the literature.

CN 101824030 reports an iloperidone synthesis method similar to that of CN 102070626 which involves the same problems of inefficiency due to the additional step of inserting the leaving group required for alkylation with 6-fluoro-3-(4-piperidinyl)-1,2-benzisoxazole hydrochloride.

CN 101781243 discloses an alternative iloperidone synthesis process as reported in Scheme 4.

Figure US20130261308A1-20131003-C00005

Said process is not advantageous compared with the preceding processes as the intermediate with the oxime group, due to the nature of this functional group, is particularly liable to degradation due to the action of numerous factors such as the presence of metals, acid pHs and basic pHs.

CN101768154 discloses a process for the synthesis of iloperidone comparable to the one reported in USRE39198 from two isolated intermediates, 1-[4-(3-chloropropoxy)-3-methoxyphenyl]ethanone and 6-fluoro-3-(4-piperidinyl)-1,2-benzisoxazole hydrochloride.

CN 101735208 describes a process for the synthesis of iloperidone comparable to the one reported in CN 101781243, namely through the intermediate with the functional oxime group.

IN 2007MU01980 discloses a process for the synthesis of iloperidone comparable to the one reported in USRE39198 from two isolated intermediates, 1-[4-(3-chloropropoxy)-3-methoxyphenyl]ethanone and 6-fluoro-3-(4-piperidinyl)-1,2-benzisoxazole hydrochloride.

WO 2010031497 describes an alternative iloperidone synthesis process as reported in Scheme 5.

Figure US20130261308A1-20131003-C00006

The considerable economic disadvantage of the process reported in WO2010031497 is based on the fact that by reversing the order of alkylation and performing that of intermediate 6-fluoro-3-(4-piperidinyl)-1,2-benzisoxazole hydrochloride first, a greater loss of yield is generated on this intermediate which, according to the literature, is more difficult to synthesise and consequently more expensive than the intermediate 1-[4-(3-chloropropoxy)-3-methoxyphenyl]ethanone, with a globally greater economic inefficiency of the iloperidone preparation process.

CN 102212063 discloses a process for the synthesis of iloperidone with the same arrangement of the synthesis steps as patent application WO 2010031497.

WO2011154860 describes a process for the synthesis of iloperidone wherein a phase transfer catalyst is used to prepare the intermediate 1-[4-(3-chloropropoxy)-3-methoxyphenyl]ethanone which, as in all the other preparation examples previously described, is crystallised, isolated and dried before use in the next step with 6-fluoro-3-(4-piperidinyl)-1,2-benzisoxazole hydrochloride. Scheme 6 shows the synthesis scheme of the process of WO2011154860.

Acetovanillon (4-hydroxy-3-methoxyacetophenone) 6 is also a first-generation fine chemical obtained as a reaction product from the oxidation−hydrolysis of lignosulfonate LS. The compound serves as substrate in synthetic processes leading to several second-generation fine chemicals, such as acetoveratron, veratric acid, and veratric acid chloride. Moreover, recently, a new compound iloperidone REF 20,21   34 [1-(3-(4-acetyl-2-methoxyphenoxy)propyl)-4-(6-fluorobenzisoxazol-3-yl)piperidine] that includes an acetovanillon 6 moiety was reported to be under development for use as an antipsychotic dopamine D2 antagonist and a 5-HT2Aantagonist.
The synthesis of iloperidone 34 is performed by means of an eight-step synthetic process. The acetovanillon 6, which constitutes an integral part of this substance, is condensed with 3-chloropropylbromide 43 in DMF in the presence of potassium carbonate or sodium hydride as base to obtain the key intermediate 44. In the last step of the process 44 is reacted with 42 to afford iloperidone 34. The intermediate 42 is synthesised by reacting piperidine-4-carboxylic acid 35 with formic acid and acetic acid anhydride to obtain 1-formylpiperidine-4-carboxylic acid 36 that upon treatment with thionyl chloride in acetic acid anhydide gives the corresponding acyl chloride 37 (1-formylpiperidine-4-carbonyl chloride). Under Friedel−Craft conditions, the acyl chloride 37 is condensed with 1,3-difluorobenzene 38 to afford 4-(2,4-difluorobenzoyl)piperidine-1-carbaldehyde 39. Treatment of this intermediate with hydroxylamine in refluxing ethanol yields the oxime 40 (4-[(2,4-difluorophenyl)hydroxyiminomethyl]piperidine-1-carbaldehyde). When the oxime 40 is exposed to basic conditions by means of sodium hydride in hot DMF and THF in the following step, a cyclisation proceeds to afford benzo[d]isoxazol 41 (4-(6-fluorobenzo[d]isoxazol-3-yl)piperidine-1-carbaldehyde), which upon treatment with HCl in refluxing ethanol affords the key intermediate 42.
