Envonalkib, also known as TQ-B3139, is a novel small-molecule TKI, developed by Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group. It targets ALK, ROS1, and c-Met kinases, exhibiting potent antitumor activity against cancers harboring these genetic alterations. In 2024, the NMPA approved Envonalkib under the brand name Anluoqing for the treatment of adult patients with ALK-positive locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have not received prior ALK inhibitor therapy [24]. Envonalkib exerts its therapeutic effects through selective inhibition of the kinase activities of ALK, ROS1, and c-Met, thereby interrupting the downstream signaling pathways that are crucial for tumor cell proliferation and survival [25]. The inhibition of these targets results in cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells。The clinical efficacy of Envonalkib was evidenced in a Phase III randomized, open-label, multicenter clinical trial (NCT04009317), which compared Envonalkib with crizotinib in treatment-naïve patients with ALK-positive advanced NSCLC [25,26]. In the reported study, Envonalkib demonstrated a me dian PFS of 24.87 months, which was markedly superior to the 11.60 months achieved with crizotinib (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.47, p < 0.0001). Notably, in patients harboring brain metastases, Envonalkib exhibited a
central nervous system objective response rate (CNS-ORR) of 78.95 %, a substantial improvement over the 23.81 % observed with crizotinib. In terms of safety profile, Envonalkib was generally well-tolerated. Treat ment-related adverse events (TRAEs) of Grade ≥3 were noted in 55.73 % of patients receiving Envonalkib, contrasting with the 42.86 % incidence in the crizotinib cohort. The predominant TRAEs encompassed elevated liver enzymes, neutropenia, and gastrointestinal symptoms, all of which
were amenable to effective management through appropriate support ive care measures. The regulatory approval of Envonalkib thus in troduces a novel therapeutic modality for patients with ALK-positive NSCLC, effectively addressing a significant unmet medical need within this patient population [25].
The synthesis of Envonalkib, illustrated in Scheme 6, initiates with Mitsunobu coupling of Envo-001 and Envo-002, affording Envo-003 [27]. Sequential reduction and NBS-bromination converts Envo-003 to
Envo-005 via Envo-004. Miyaura borylation of Envo-005 constructs Envo-006, which undergoes Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling with Envo-007 followed by deprotection to deliver Envonalkib. In parallel,
Envo-009 reacts with Envo-010 through Buchwald-Hartwig cross coupling to form Envo-011. This intermediate is brominated to produce Envo-007, which is used in the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling with Envo-006

Unecritinib is an orally available, small molecule inhibitor of the receptor tyrosine kinases anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), C-ros oncogene 1 (ROS1) and Met (hepatocyte growth factor receptor; HGFR; c-Met), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration,unecritinib targets, binds to and inhibits the activity of ALK, ROS1 and c-Met, which leads to the disruption of ALK-, ROS1- and c-Met-mediated signaling and the inhibition of cell growth in ALK-, ROS1- and c-Met-expressing tumor cells. ALK, ROS1 and c-Met, overexpressed or mutated in many tumor cell types, play key roles in tumor cell proliferation, survival, invasion and metastasis.

UNECRITINIB is a small molecule drug with a maximum clinical trial phase of II (across all indications) and has 3 investigational indications.

Unecritinib, developed by Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group, is a novel small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It targets c-rosoncogene 1 (ROS1), anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), and c-mesen
chymal-epithelial transition factor (c-MET) kinases, exhibiting potent antitumor activity against cancers harboring these genetic alterations. In 2024, the NMPA approved Unecritinib under the brand name Anbaini for the treatment of adult patients with ROS1-positive locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Unecritinib exerts its therapeutic effects through selective inhibition of the kinase activities of ROS1, ALK, and c-MET, which effectively disrupts the downstream signaling pathways that are crucial for the proliferation and survival of tumor cells. Consequently, this inhibition induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells that express these specific targets [13]. The clinical efficacy of Unecritinib was established in a Phase II single-arm, multicenter clinical trial (NCT03750739) enrolling patients with ROS1-positive advanced NSCLC. Among 111 evaluable patients, an ORR of 80.2 % was achieved, along with a median PFS of 16.5 months. These findings underscore the robust antitumor activity of Unecritinib in this specific patient cohort. In terms of safety, Unecritinib exhibited a
favorable tolerability profile. The most frequently reported treatment-related adverse events were neutropenia, leukopenia, vomit ing, and nausea, which were predominantly of mild (Grade 1) or mod
erate (Grade 2) severity. Importantly, no dose-limiting toxicities were observed, and the maximum tolerated dose was not established, further supporting its favorable safety profile. The approval of Unecritinib represents a novel therapeutic strategy for patients with ROS1-positive NSCLC, effectively addressing a significant unmet medical need within this population [13].
The synthesis of Unecritinib, depicted in Scheme 3, initiates with acetylation of Unec-001 to yield Unec-002, which undergoes deprotection to afford Unecritinib [14]

Tunlametinib, an oral selective inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1 and 2 (MEK1/2), was developed by Shanghai KeChow Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. Marketed under the brand name
Keluping, it received conditional approval from the NMP in 2024 for the treatment of patients with advanced melanoma harboring NRAS mutations, particularly those who have not responded to anti-PD-1/PD-L1therapies [1]. Tunlametinib exerts its antitumor effects by targeting the MEK1/2 kinases within the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK signaling pathway, thereby disrupting downstream signaling cascades and inhibiting tumor cell growth and proliferation [2]. Its clinical efficacy was demonstrated in a Phase II pivotal registration study (NCT05217303) involving patients with advanced NRAS-mutant melanoma [3]. The study reported a confirmed objective response rate (ORR) of 34.8 % and a median progression-free survival (mPFS) of 4.2 months. These findings suggest that Tunlametinib holds promise as a treatment option for NRAS-mutant melanoma, including in patients who have failed immunotherapy. In terms of safety, Tunlametinib has been generally well-tolerated [4]. Adverse events frequently encountered during treatment primarily consist of increased blood creatine phosphokinase (CPK) levels, diarrhea, and edema. Additionally, warnings and precautions pertinent to Tunlametinib therapy encompass decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), skin toxicity, ocular toxicity, interstitial lung disease,
gastrointestinal reactions, and elevated CPK levels [5].
The synthetic pathway of Tunlametinib, illustrated in Scheme 1, begins with carboxylation of Tunl-001 to yield Tunl-002 [6]. Nucleophilic substitution of Tunl-002 with Tunl-003 then produces Tunl-004,
which undergoes esterification to form Tunl-005. Subsequent nucleophilic substitution between Tunl-05 and Tunl-006 generates Tunl-007. This intermediate undergoes azidation to afford Tunl-008, followed by
reduction to Tunl-009. Treatment of Tunl-009 with DDQ converts it to Tunl-010, which is deprotected to yield Tunl-011. Cycloaddition of Tunl-011 with Tunl-012 forms Tunl-013. Iodination of Tunl-013 gives
Tunl-014, which is hydrolyzed to produce Tunl-015. Amidation of Tunl-015 with Tunl-016 yields Tunl-017, and its subsequent acidolysis completes the synthesis of Tunlametinib.

Taletrectinib is an oral, next-generation ROS1 TKI developed by Nuvation Bio Inc. for the treatment of ROS1-positive NSCLC. In 2024, the NMPA approved taletrectinib for adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic ROS1-positive NSCLC, regardless of prior ROS1TKI treatment [47]. Under an exclusive license agreement, Innovent Biologics will commercialize taletrectinib in China under the brand
name DOVBLERON®. Taletrectinib exerts its pharmacological action through the mechanism of selectively impeding the ROS1 receptor tyrosine kinase, which effectively disrupts the signaling cascades which are responsible for facilitating the growth and survival of cancer cells in ROS1-positive NSCLC. This inhibition of the ROS1 receptor tyrosine kinase is a key event in the drug’s mode of action, as it specifically targets the molecular processes that drive the progression of the disease in ROS1-positive NSCLC cases [48]. The NMPA granted approval founded on the data sourced from the crucial Phase 2 TRUST – I study. This study substantiated that patients administered with taletrectinib achieved sustained responses and extended PFS. Regarding safety, taletrectinib boasted a generally good tolerability. It presented an advantageous safety profile and favorable tolerability characteristics, as evidenced by the low incidences of dose reduction and treatment discontinuation triggered by adverse effects. [49]. Overall, taletrectinib represents a promising therapeutic option for patients with advanced ROS1-positive NSCLC, offering efficacy in both TKI-naïve and TKI-pretreated populations, including those with CNS metastases [50–52].
The synthesis of Taletrectinib, illustrated in Scheme 12, commences with Mitsunobu coupling of Tale-001 and Tale-002 to afford Tale-003, which then undergoes Suzuki coupling with Tale-004 constructing
Tale-005 [53]. Sequential acidolysis/deprotection of Tale-005 ultimately delivers Taletrectinib

DATA

N-acetyl-D, L-leucine is the active ingredient of Tanganil ® which helps treat vertigo attacks.

 N-Acetyl-D, L-leucine

 Unlike the majority of chemical syntheses of active principles where it is desirable to separate the enanti omers and / or to retain the selective stereo information during the synthesis steps, the synthesis of N-acetyl-D, L-leucine is carried out from L-leucine and therefore involves a racemization step. This racemization takes place before the acetylation step, via a Schiff base formed in situ with salicylic aldehyde (Yamada et al., J. Org. Chem., 1983 48, 843- 846).

Figure imgf000002_0002

Two competitive reactions are then involved: the acetylation of leucine, the main reaction, where acetic anhydride reacts with the amine function of leucinate of sodium to give N-acetyleucinate and the hydrolysis of acetic anhydride to acetic acid, a side reaction described below.

Figure imgf000003_0001

 This synthesis has a molar yield of 70%. The limiting steps are essentially the secondary reaction of hydrolysis of acetic anhydride and the step of isolation of the racemized leucine before the acetylation reaction. Indeed, on an industrial scale, the quantities of products brought into play for isolations prove to be very restrictive.

 There is therefore a real need to develop a new process for the preparation of N-actéyl-D, L-leucine which is faster and more economical.

The inventors thus discovered that the racemization step could be carried out after the L-leucine acetylation step making it possible to avoid a step of isolating the intermediate product and that this process could be carried out in continuous flow. Du Vigneaud & Meyer (J. Biol Chem, 1932, 98, 295-308) had already shown that it was possible to racemize different acetylated amino acids by bringing them into the presence of acetic anhydride for several hours. However, no examples had been made with acetyl leucine. By attempting to reproduce this process with acetyl-leucine, the inventors have thus found that this racemization reaction did not give satisfactory results with acetyl-leucine because of a competitive hydrolysis reaction of acetic anhydride. used. The inventors have also surprisingly discovered that the racemization reaction of N-acetyl-L-leucine could be improved by producing it in a continuous flow. It seems indeed that the realization of this continuous flow process allows better control of the mixing of the reagents and therefore to better control the reaction. The inventors have also shown that the racemization of N-acetyl-L-Leucine in continuous flow was obtained in a very short time of the order of a few minutes.

Furthermore, there is also a need to develop a new method of acetylation of leucine for the preparation of N-actyle-leucine which is faster and more economical. The inventors have discovered that the acetylation reaction of leucine can be improved by making it in a continuous flow. The process according to the invention gives good yields, in a very short time and using fewer reagents compared to the method known hitherto.

 Indeed, DeWitt et al. (J Am Chem Soc (1951) 73 (7) 3359-60) described the preparation of N-acetyl-L-Leucine by reacting L-Leucine with 3 molar equivalents of acetic anhydride and sodium hydroxide for 2 hours 20 minutes. . N-acetyl-L-leucine is then obtained in a yield of only 70-80%. In addition, the authors of this publication clearly indicated that a molar ratio between L-Leucine and acetic anhydride below 2 resulted in much lower yields.

A. L. Study of the molar ratio of acetic anhydride to leucine

 The objective of this study is to define the necessary molar ratio of acetic anhydride so that the acetylation reaction with acetic anhydride is complete and is not disadvantageous by competition with the acetic anhydride hydrolysis reaction. In this study, the residence time in the reactor / exchanger (1 process plate) was set at 9 seconds, for a temperature of the reaction medium of between 25 and 30 ° C.

 The ratio range studied is between 0.9 and 2.0 molar equivalents. The optimum is obtained for a ratio between 1.20 and 2.00, more particularly between 1.30 and 1.60. Below this ratio, the acetylation reaction is disadvantageous compared to the acetic hydrolysis reaction. Beyond this, the drop in pH (acid instead of base) also disadvantages the acetylation reaction.

EXAMPLES 1-10:

A solution of sodium L-leucinate, for passage in continuous flow reactor, is prepared in the following manner: 700 g of L-leucine are dissolved in a solution of 576 g of sodium hydroxide and 3.5 liters of Demineralized Water. This solution is the main fluid process. The reaction between this solution and the acetic anhydride is carried out in a continuous flow in a Boostec® reactor, made of silicon carbide. The reactor / exchanger is configured with an injection-type process plate comprised between two utility plates. The volume of the process plate is 10 mL. The temperature in the reactor is maintained by the circulation of a coolant heated by a thermostatic bath. The transformation of L-leucine to N-acetyl-L-leucine is monitored online by quantitative Raman spectroscopy. This method of analysis is calibrated beforehand with solutions of known concentration prepared with pure L-leucine and N-acetyl-L-leucine.

Drug Trials Snapshot

Trospium chloride is a muscarinic antagonist used to treat overactive bladder.[3] It has side effects typical of this class of drugs, namely dry mouth, stomach upset, and constipation; these side effects cause problems with people taking their medicine as directed. However it doesn’t cause central nervous system side effects like some other muscarinic antagonists.[4]

Chemically it is a quaternary ammonium cation which causes it to stay in periphery rather than crossing the blood–brain barrier.[5] It works by causing the smooth muscle in the bladder to relax.[3]

It was patented in 1966 and approved for medical use in 1974.[6] It was first approved in the US in 2004, and an extended release version was brought to market in 2007. It became generic in the EU in 2009, and the first extended-release generic was approved in the US in 2012.

SYN

Tropium chloride is one of the azoniaspironortropine derivatives and is used for the treatment of urinary bladder dysfunction due to bladder dysfunction, night urination, overactive bladder, and urinary incontinence. Useful compounds. The chemical name of the tropium chloride is (1R, 3R, 5S) -3-[(hydroxydiphenylacetyl) oxy] spiro [8-azoniabiscyclo [3,2,1] octane-8,1 ‘ -Pyrrolidinium] chloride ((1R, 3R, 5S) -3-[(Hydroxydiphenylacetyl) oxy] spiro [8-azoniabicyclo [3,2,1] octane-8,1’-pyrrolidinium] chloride) It is represented by Formula (1).

Figure 112008001235799-PAT00001
Figure 112008001235799-PAT00001

As a method for preparing the thromium chloride, US Patent No. 3,480,626 (1969) is prepared in the form of a free base of nortropine benzilate represented by the formula (2) as an intermediate, as shown in Scheme 1 below Thereafter, it is reacted with 1,4-dichlorobutane of the formula (3) to synthesize a thromium chloride, which is then recrystallized in ethanol-ether to disclose a two-step process for obtaining the thromium chloride. However, the method does not use a base, has a long reaction time, a low yield (about 46%), and instead of intramolecular cyclization, positions 1 and 4 of butane represented by the formula (4) as side reactants. There is a disadvantage in that a large amount of the compound in the form of substituted 1,4-nortropin benzylate is produced.

Medical uses

Trospium chloride is used for the treatment of overactive bladder with symptoms of urge incontinence and frequent urination.[3][4][2]

It should not be used with people who retain urine, who have severe digestive conditionsmyasthenia gravis, narrow-angle glaucoma, or tachyarrhythmia.[3]

It should be used with caution in people who have problems with their autonomous nervous system (dysautonomia) or who have gastroesophageal reflux disease, or in whom fast heart rates are undesirable, such as people with hyperthyroidism, coronary artery disease and congestive heart failure.[3]

There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of trospium chloride in pregnant women and there are signs of harm to the fetus in animal studies. The drug was excreted somewhat in the milk of nursing mothers.[3] The drug was studied in children.[3]

Side effects

Side effects are typical of gastrointestinal effects of anticholinergic drugs, and include dry mouth, indigestion, and constipation. These side effects lead to problems with adherence, especially for older people.[4] The only CNS side effect is headache, which was very rare. Tachycardia is a rare side effect.[3]

Trospium chloride is a muscarinic antagonist. Trospium chloride blocks the effect of acetylcholine on muscarinic receptors organs that are responsive to the compounds, including the bladder.[3] Its parasympatholytic action relaxes the smooth muscle in the bladder.[4] Receptor assays showed that trospium chloride has negligible affinity for nicotinic receptors as compared to muscarinic receptors at concentrations obtained from therapeutic doses.[3] The drug has high and similar affinity for all five of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtypes, including the M1M2M3M4, and M5 receptors.[9][10][11]

Pharmacokinetics

After oral administration, less than 10% of the dose is absorbed. Mean absolute bioavailability of a 20 mg dose is 9.6% (range: 4.0 to 16.1%). Peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) occur between 5 and 6 hours post-dose. Mean Cmax increases greater than dose-proportionally; a 3-fold and 4-fold increase in Cmax was observed for dose increases from 20 mg to 40 mg and from 20 mg to 60 mg, respectively. AUC exhibits dose linearity for single doses up to 60 mg. Trospium chloride exhibits diurnal variability in exposure with a decrease in Cmax and AUC of up to 59% and 33%, respectively, for evening relative to morning doses.[12]

Administration with a high fat meal resulted in reduced absorption, with AUC and Cmax values 70 to 80% lower than those obtained when trospium chloride was administered while fasting. Therefore, it is recommended that trospium chloride should be taken at least one hour prior to meals or on an empty stomach.[12]

Protein binding ranged from 50 to 85% when concentration levels of trospium chloride (0.5 to 50 ng/mL) were incubated with human serum in vitro. The 3H-trospium chloride ratio of plasma to whole blood was 1.6:1. This ratio indicates that the majority of 3H-trospium chloride is distributed in plasma. The apparent volume of distribution for a 20 mg oral dose is 395 (± 140) liters.[12]

The metabolic pathway of trospium in humans has not been fully defined. Of the 10% of the dose absorbed, metabolites account for approximately 40% of the excreted dose following oral administration. The major metabolic pathway is hypothesized as ester hydrolysis with subsequent conjugation of benzylic acid to form azoniaspironortropanol with glucuronic acidCytochrome P450 is not expected to contribute significantly to the elimination of trospium. Data taken from in vitro human liver microsomes investigating the inhibitory effect of trospium on seven cytochrome P450 isoenzyme substrates (CYP1A2, 2A6, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1, and 3A4) suggest a lack of inhibition at clinically relevant concentrations.[12]

The plasma half-life for trospium chloride following oral administration is approximately 20 hours. After oral administration of an immediate-release formulation of 14C-trospium chloride, the majority of the dose (85.2%) was recovered in feces and a smaller amount (5.8% of the dose) was recovered in urine; 60% of the radioactivity excreted in urine was unchanged trospium. The mean renal clearance for trospium (29 L/hour) is 4-fold higher than average glomerular filtration rate, indicating that active tubular secretion is a major route of elimination for trospium. There may be competition for elimination with other compounds that are also renally eliminated.[12]

Chemistry

Anticholinergic drugs used to treat overactive bladder were all amines as of 2003. Quaternary ammonium cations in general are more hydrophilic than other amines and don’t cross membranes well, so they tend to be poorly absorbed from the digestive system, and to not cross the blood–brain barrierOxybutynintolterodinedarifenacin, and solifenacin are tertiary amines while trospium chloride and propantheline are quaternary amines.[5]

History

The synthesis of trospium was described by scientists from Dr. Robert Pfleger Chemische Fabrik GmbH, Heinz Bertholdt, Robert Pfleger, and Wolfram Schulz, in US. Pat. No. 3,480,626 (the US equivalent to DE119442), and its activity was first published in the literature in 1967.[13][14]

The first regulatory approval was granted in Germany in August 1999 to Madaus AG for Regurin 20 mg Tablets.[15]: 13  Madaus is considered the originator for regulatory filings worldwide.[16] The German filing was recognized throughout Europe under the Mutual Recognition Procedure.[15]: 13 

Madaus licensed the US rights to trospium chloride to Interneuron in 1999 and Interneuron ran clinical trials in the US to win FDA approval.[17][18] Interneuron changed its name to Indevus in 2002[19] Indevus entered into a partnership with Odyssey Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Pliva, to market the drug in April 2004,[20] and won FDA approval for the drug, which it branded as Sanctura, in May 2004.[21][22] The approval earned Indevus a milestone payment of $120M from Pliva, which had already paid Indevus $30 million at signing; the market for overactive bladder therapies was estimated to be worth $1.1 billion in 2004.[23] In 2005 Pliva exited the relationship, selling its rights to Esprit Pharma,[24] and in September 2007 Allergan acquired Esprit, and negotiated a new agreement with Indevus under which Allergan would completely take over the US manufacturing, regulatory approvals, and marketing.[25] A month before, Indevus had received FDA approval for an extended release formulation that allowed once a day dosing, Sanctura XR.[26] Indevus had developed intellectual property around the extended release formulation which it licensed to Madaus for most of the world.[25]

In 2012 the FDA approved the first generic version of the extended release formulation, granting approval to the ANDA that Watson Pharmaceuticals had filed in 2009.[27] Annual sales in the US at that time were $67M.[28] European patents had expired in 2009.[29]

As of 2016, the drug is available worldwide under many brand names and formulations, including oral, extended release, suppositories, and injections.[1]

Society and culture

Marketing rights to the drug became subject to parallel import litigation in Europe in the case of Speciality European Pharma Ltd v Doncaster Pharmaceuticals Group Ltd / Madaus GmbH (Case No. A3/2014/0205) which was resolved in March 2015. Madaus had exclusively licensed the right to use the Regurin trademark to Speciality European Pharma Ltd. In 2009, when European patents expired on the drug, Doncaster Pharmaceuticals Group, a well known parallel importer, which had been selling the drug in the UK under another label, Ceris, which was used in France, began to put stickers on their packaging with the Regurin name. Speciality and Madaus sued and initially won based on the argument that 90% of prescriptions were already generic, but Doncaster appealed and won the appeal based on the argument that it could not charge a premium with a generic label. The case has broad implications for trade in the EU.[29][30]

Research

In 2007 Indevus partnered with Alkermes to develop and test an inhaled form of trospium chloride as a treatment for COPD; it was in Phase II trials at that time.[31]

Chemistry

Synthesis of precursor of [18F]Flurpiridaz (7) [2-(4-((1-tert-Butyl-5-chloro-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridazine-4-yloxy)methyl)benzyloxy)ethyl-4- methylbenzensulfonate] (6)

Precursor 6 was synthesized according to the literature procedures with few changes (Purohit et al. 2008; Nagel 2014) Briefly, to a mixture of mucochloric acid (1) (1.18 g, 6.98 mmol) and Na2CO3 (0.33 g, 3.11 mmol) in 15 ml of distilled water was added tert-butylhydrazine hydrochloride (0.86 g, 6.90 mmol) in ice-water bath and reaction mixture was stirred for about 4 h. White precipitate was washed by water and dried under reduced vacuum after filtration. Then, 13.2 ml of benzene and acetic acid (1.86 g, 30,95 mmol) were added and reaction was kept at 40 °C for 4 h. Organic phase was extracted with 10 ml of water and washed by 5 ml of 1.25 M NaOH(aq), 5 ml of 5 M HCl(aq) and 10 ml of water respectively. 0.83 g of DCP (2) was obtained as an orange solid. 1.0 g of DCP (2) (4,53 mmol) was dissolved in 15 ml of dry DMF, 1,4-phenylene dimethanol (3.2 g, 23.16 mmol) and Cs2CO3 (6.0 g, 18.41 mmol) were slowly added to the solution and reaction was stirred at 68 °C under nitrogen atmosphere for about 6 h and allowed to be cooled down to room temperature. Crude product was extracted with CHCl3/water several times and evaporated under vacuum. Residue was subjected to flash column chromatography (silica gel 40 g, EtOAc/Hexane 3:2) and 0.91 g of compound 3 was obtained as white solid. Then, 0.91 g of an alcoholic compound 3 was dissolved in 15 ml of freshly distilled dichloromethane and 0.14 ml of PBr3 was slowly added to the solution. The reaction was carried out at room temperature for about 2 h under nitrogen atmosphere. Crude product was extracted with 30 ml of water and dried under vacuum. White solid product 4 was successfully obtained in a quantitative yield without further purification for next step. KOtBu (0.28 g, 2.49 mmol) and 11.2 ml of ethylene glycol were stirred at room temperature under nitrogen atmosphere. Then, 0.95 g of bromide compound 4 dissolved in 8 ml of dry THF was added slowly into the reaction mixture and the reaction was stirred at 60 °C for overnight. After cooling to room temperature, THF was evaporated and residue was extracted with CHCl3/water several times. Organic phase was evaporated under vacuum and residue was submitted to flash column chromatograpy (silica gel 40 g, EtOAc/Hexane 2:1) and 0.86 g of compound 5 was obtained as colorless oil in quantitative yield. Finally, to a mixture of 0.85 g of compound 5 and tosyl chloride (690 mg, 3.62 mmol) in 6 ml of dry dichloromethane, 0.64 ml of DIPEA and 4-(dimethylamino) pyridine (445 mg, 3.64 mmol) were added and reaction was carried out at room temperature for 2.5 h under nitrogen atmosphere. Dichloromethane was evaporated and crude product was directly subjected to flash column chromatograpy (silica gel 45 g, EtOAc/Hexane 2:1). 0.9 g of pure tosylate 6 (precursor of [18F]Flurpiridaz) was obtained by recrystallisation in dichloromethane at + 4 °C. Tosylate 6 was further purified through semipreparative HPLC for an accurate spectroscopic characterization (Fig. 1). Anal. Calcd for C25H29ClN2O6S: C, 57.63; H, 5.61; Cl, 6.80; N, 5.38; S, 6.15.

Synthesis of [18F]Flurpiridaz (7)

Preliminary studies & synthesis of [19F]Flurpiridaz (7) (Cold runs)

Materials KF, Ethanol, and Acetonitrile were obtained from Sigma Aldrich. Kryptofix K2.2.2./K2CO3 (22 mg Kryptofix K2.2.2., 7 mg K2CO3, 300 µl acetonitrile and 300 µl pure water), TBA-HCO3 (0.075 M) solution and QMA Cartridges were from ABX. Sep-Pak C18 Plus Light Cartridge was from Waters.

Methods

Firstly, consecutive cold syntheses of [19F]Flurpiridaz (7) were performed using stable isotope fluorine-19 and optimum reaction parameters were tried to be determined.

Eluent solution-I (Kryptofix K2.2.2./K2CO3)

50 mg of KF was dissolved in 2 mL of ultrapure water and directly passed through the preconditioned QMA cartridge. The QMA cartridge was rinsed with 5 mL of ultrapure water and dried with N2. [19F]F trapped on the QMA cartridge was eluted into the reaction vial with 600 µL of Kryptofix K2.2.2./K2CO3 solution. Solvents in the reaction vial were removed at 100 °C, [19F]F and Kryptofix K2.2.2./K2CO3 were dried gently. Then, 10 mg of precursor 6 dissolved in 2 mL of anhydrous acetonitrile was added to the reaction vial and the mixture was sealed and heated at 95 °C for 10 min. The reaction solution was diluted with 5 ml of ultrapure water and directly passed through a preconditioned C-18 cartridge. C-18 cartridge was rinsed with 5 mL of ultrapure water and dried with air. Finally, C-18 cartridge was eluted with 5 mL of ethanol and transferred into the final product vial. The final product was diluted with 5 mL of ultrapure water (n = 3) and analyzed by HPLC (described in HPLC analysis of precursor 6) to determine its composition.

Chromatogram analysis indicated that four different separate peaks were observed. The unreacted precursor 6 was detected around 11.55 min. The other two peaks were detected between 8 and 9 min. Another major peak around 5.5 min was detected. It was concluded that the chemical yield of product 7 was low due to the majority of side-product formations

Medical uses

Flurpiridaz (18F) is indicated for positron emission tomography myocardial perfusion imaging under rest or stress (pharmacologic or exercise) in adults with known or suspected coronary artery disease to evaluate for myocardial ischemia and infarction.[2][3]

History

Flurpiridaz F-18 is a fluorine 18-labeled agent developed by Lantheus Medical Imaging for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease.[7]

The efficacy and safety of flurpiridaz (18F) were evaluated in two prospective, multicenter, open-label clinical studies in adults with either suspected CAD (Study 1: NCT03354273) or known or suspected CAD (Study 2: NCT01347710).[3] Study 1 evaluated the sensitivity (ability to designate an imaged patient with disease as positive) and specificity (ability to designate an imaged patient without disease as negative) of flurpiridaz (18F) for the detection of significant CAD in subjects with suspected CAD who were scheduled for invasive coronary angiography (ICA).[3] Across three flurpiridaz (18F) imaging readers, estimates of sensitivity ranged from 74% to 89% and estimates of specificity ranged from 53% to 70% for CAD defined as at least 50% narrowing of an artery.[3]

Study 2 evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of flurpiridaz (18F) for the detection of significant CAD in subjects with known or suspected CAD who had ICA without intervention within 60 days prior to imaging or were scheduled for ICA.[3] Across three flurpiridaz (18F) imaging readers, estimates of sensitivity ranged from 63% to 77% and estimates of specificity ranged from 66% to 86% for CAD defined as at least 50% narrowing of an artery.[3]

Society and culture

Flurpiridaz (18F) was approved for medical use in the United States in September 2024.[2][3]

Names

Flurpiridaz (18F) is the international nonproprietary name.[8]

Inavolisib, sold under the brand name Itovebi, is an anti-cancer medication used for the treatment of breast cancer.[2][3] It is an inhibitor and degrader of mutant phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) alpha.[4] The PI3K-mediated signalling pathway has shown to play an important role in the development of tumours as dysregulation is commonly associated with tumour growth and resistance to antineoplastic agents and radiotherapy.[5]

The most common adverse reactions include decreased neutrophils, decreased hemoglobin, increased fasting glucose, decreased platelets, decreased lymphocytes, stomatitis, diarrhea, decreased calcium, fatigue, decreased potassium, increased creatinine, increased ALT, nausea, decreased sodium, decreased magnesium, rash, decreased appetite, COVID-19 infection, and headache.[3]

Inavolisib was approved for medical use in the United States in October 2024.[3][6][7]

Step 1: 4-Bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde

      
 (MOL) (CDX)
      Into a 20 L 4-necked round-bottom flask purged and maintained with an inert atmosphere of nitrogen was placed 3-bromophenol (1300 g, 7.51 mol), dichloromagnesium (1078 g, 11.3 mol), triethylamine (3034 g, 30.0 mol) and acetonitrile (7.8 L). The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at 40° C. To the mixture was added paraformaldehyde (676 g, 22.6 mol) at 80° C. The resulting solution was stirred for 6 hours at 76° C. This reaction was repeated 5 times. The combined reaction mixtures were quenched by the addition of 12 L of aqueous hydrogen chloride (4 N). The pH value of the solution was adjusted to 5 with concentrated aqueous hydrogen chloride (12 N). The resulting solution was extracted with 1×20 L of ethyl acetate. The organic extracts were evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified via flash chromatography on silica gel (eluted: 15% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether) to give crude product which was washed with 2.4 L of methyl tert-butyl ether:hexane (1:4). The resultant solids were collected by filtration to yield 7.0 kg (78%) of the title compound as a yellow solid.

Step 2: 5-Bromo-2-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)phenol

      
 (MOL) (CDX)
      Into a 20 L 4-necked round-bottom flask was placed a solution of 4-bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (700 g, 3.50 mol) in methanol (7.0 L) and oxaldehyde (40%) (2540 g, 17.5 mol) followed by the dropwise addition over 4 hours of aqueous ammonia (25-28%, 3500 g) with stirring and maintaining the temperature below 40° C. The resulting solution was stirred for 15 hours at 30-35° C. This reaction was repeated 9 times. The combined 9 reaction mixtures were evaporated in vacuo keeping the temperature below 45° C. The residue was diluted with 100 L of ethyl acetate with stirring for 30 minutes. The solids were filtered out and the resulting solution was diluted with water. The aqueous phase was extracted with 35 L of ethyl acetate. The organic extracts were evaporated under vacuum and the residue was purified via flash chromatography on silica gel (solvent gradient: 5-75% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether) to yield 2.4 kg (29%) of the title compound as a yellow solid.

Step 3: 9-Bromo-5,6-dihydrobenzo[f]imidazo[1,2-d][1,4]oxazepine

      
 (MOL) (CDX)
      Into a 20 L 4-necked round-bottom flask was placed a solution of 5-bromo-2-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)phenol (1.4 kg, 5.86 mol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (14 L) and cesium carbonate (7.2 kg, 22.1 mol). The mixture was stirred for 20 minutes. To the reaction mixture was added 1,2-dibromoethane (4.1 kg, 21.8 mol). The resulting solution was stirred for 4-12 hours at 85-90° C., cooled to 15° C., and filtered. The filter cake was washed with 3.0 L of ethyl acetate. The filtrate was diluted with 14 L of ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine (4×14 L), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated in vacuo to yield 1.1 kg (71%) of the title compound as a light yellow solid. LCMS (ESI): [M+H] +=265; 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d 6) δ 8.32 (d, J=8.4, 1H), 7.35-7.24 (m, 3H), 7.06 (s, 1H), 4.47-4.42 (m, 4H).

Step 4: 9-Bromo-2,3-diiodo-5,6-dihydrobenzo[f]imidazo[1,2-d][1,4]oxazepine

      
 (MOL) (CDX)
      Into a 20 L 4-necked round-bottom flask was placed 9-bromo-5,6-dihydrobenzo[f]imidazo[1,2-d][1,4]oxazepine (2.5 kg, 9.43 mol) and N,N-dimethylformamide (12.5 L) followed by the addition of N-iodosuccinimide (6.0 kg, 26.7 mol) in several batches with stirring. The resulting solution was stirred for 12 hours at 60° C., cooled to 15° C. with a water/ice bath, diluted with 12.5 L of water/ice, and filtered. The filtered solids were recrystallized from petroleum ether to yield 4.0 kg (82%) of the title compound as a yellow solid.

Medical uses

Inavolisib is indicated in combination with palbociclib and fulvestrant for the treatment of adults with endocrine-resistant, PIK3CA-mutated, hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, as detected by an FDA-approved test, following recurrence on or after completing adjuvant endocrine therapy.[3]

Side effects

The most common adverse reactions include decreased neutrophils, decreased hemoglobin, increased fasting glucose, decreased platelets, decreased lymphocytes, stomatitis, diarrhea, decreased calcium, fatigue, decreased potassium, increased creatinine, increased ALT, nausea, decreased sodium, decreased magnesium, rash, decreased appetite, COVID-19 infection, and headache.[3]

History

Efficacy was evaluated in INAVO120 (NCT04191499), a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial in 325 participants with endocrine-resistant, PIK3CA-mutated HR-positive, HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer whose disease progressed during or within twelve months of completing adjuvant endocrine therapy and who had not received prior systemic therapy for locally advanced or metastatic disease.[3] Primary endocrine resistance was defined as relapse while on the first two years of adjuvant endocrine therapy (ET) and secondary endocrine resistance was defined as relapse while on adjuvant ET after at least two years or relapse within twelve months of completing adjuvant ET.[3]

Structure, reactivity, and synthesis

Inavolisib is a synthetic, organic, small compound (the full structure can be seen here).[8] When binding to phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase, catalytic subunit alpha (p110α), inavolisib’s carbonyl group can accept a hydrogen bond from the Tyr836 (conserved) in p110α. The difluoromethyl group can interact with the hydroxyl group presented on Ser774 (conserved) in p110α, which is 3.2Å nearer than of which on the equivalent residue Ser754 in p110δ. Additionally, the amide group can interact with Gln859 (non-conserved). This results in a very high selectivity regarding PI3Kα isoforms.[4][9]

Compared to similar PI3K inhibiting compounds, inavolisib has a higher thermodynamic aqueous solubility that proved advantageous in the formulation process and aiding greater consistency in predictions of absorption.[4]

Inavolisibcan be developed as a derivative of 1,3-oxazole[10] or by means of stereo-controlled N-arylation of alpha-amino acids.[11]

Metabolism and biotransformation

Inavolisib is orally administered, though there is little knowledge about its metabolism.[12]However, absorption, metabolism, and excretion data of taselisib, a molecule with a related chemical scaffold, suggest moderately slow absorption into the systemic circulation, metabolism to play a minor role in drug clearance, and biliary excretion to be the main route of excretion.[13]

Molecular mechanisms of action

Inavolisib is a selective PI3K-p110α (PIK3CA) inhibitor, which may offer antineoplastic functionality.[8] Therefore, it may serve as a new addition to combination therapy with conventional cancer treatment, such as chemotherapy. Combining inavolisib with palbociclib and fulvestrant might improve treatment of breast cancer.[14]

Next to its inhibitory enzymatic ability, it is suggested that inavolisib binds to – and activates degradation of – mutated forms of p110α. Members of the PI3K family regulate cellular processes such as cell growth and proliferation, survival, remodelling, and intracellular transport of organelles.[15] PI3K also plays an essential role for the immune system.

The class I isoform PI3K alpha (PI3Kα) is often times expressed in solid tumours through gene amplification or activated mutations.[4] Mutations in PI3Kα can often be found in cancer cells, especially HR+ breast cancer, which causes a disruption of the PI3K pathway. This leads to increased tumour growth and metastasis. One of the most common mutations can be found in PIK3CA, which plays a significant role in tumour cell proliferation.

In preclinical studies, inavolisib has shown to specifically initiate the degradation of this p110α oncogene with the help of proteasomes.[16] After binding to the mutant PI3Kα, inavolisib blocks phosphorylation of PIP2 to PIP3, thereby stopping downstream signalling.[17]

Consequently, biomarkers in the PI3K pathway are reduced, cell proliferation inhibited, and the rate of PIK3CA-mutant breast cancer apoptosis increased (in comparison to the wild type). The exact mechanism of action of inhibitors like inavolisib on mutated PI3Kα and the inhibitors’ influence on mutant structures are still unknown.[18]

Toxicity

Inavolisib is able to induce a cytotoxic response but this is directed towards tumour cells that contain the PI3K mutation, thereby inhibiting further tumour growth and leading to cell loss.[19]

Society and culture

In October 2024, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved inavolisib for the treatment of PIK3CA-mutant breast cancer based on the results from the INAVO120 trial.[3][6][20][21] The drug application was granted priority review and breakthrough therapy designations by the FDA.[3]

Names

Inavolisib is the international nonproprietary name.[22][23]

Inavolisib is sold under the brand name Itovebi.[3]

Research

Due to inavolisib’s ability to inhibit the PI3K pathway through HER2-dependent degradation, it is undergoing clinical trials to potentially make use of it as an antineoplastic (anti-cancer) drug to treat breast cancer.[4][24][17]

Vanzacaftor (VX-121) is an orally active noval corrector of Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Vanzacaftor improves processing and trafficking of CFTR protein as well as increases chloride transport in triple combined with Tezacaftor (HY-15448) and Deutivacaftor. Vanzacaftor-Tezacaftor-Deutivacaftor is safe and well tolerated, improving lung function, respiratory symptoms, and CFTR function with cystic fibrosis, which is promising for research in the field of cystic fibrosis diseases.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a recessive genetic disease that affects approximately 70,000 children and adults worldwide. Despite progress in the treatment of CF, there is no cure.
      In patients with CF, mutations in CFTR endogenously expressed in respiratory epithelia lead to reduced apical anion secretion causing an imbalance in ion and fluid transport. The resulting decrease in anion transport contributes to enhanced mucus accumulation in the lung and accompanying microbial infections that ultimately cause death in CF patients. In addition to respiratory disease, CF patients typically suffer from gastrointestinal problems and pancreatic insufficiency that, if left untreated, result in death. In addition, the majority of males with cystic fibrosis are infertile, and fertility is reduced among females with cystic fibrosis.
      Sequence analysis of the CFTR gene has revealed a variety of disease causing mutations (Cutting, G. R. et al. (1990) Nature 346:366-369; Dean, M. et al. (1990) Cell 61:863:870; and Kerem, B-S. et al. (1989) Science 245:1073-1080; Kerem, B-S et al. (1990) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:8447-8451). To date, greater than 2000 mutations in the CF gene have been identified; currently, the CFTR2 database contains information on only 322 of these identified mutations, with sufficient evidence to define 281 mutations as disease causing. The most prevalent disease-causing mutation is a deletion of phenylalanine at position 508 of the CFTR amino acid sequence, and is commonly referred to as the F508del mutation. This mutation occurs in approximately 70% of the cases of cystic fibrosis and is associated with severe disease.
      The deletion of residue 508 in CFTR prevents the nascent protein from folding correctly. This results in the inability of the mutant protein to exit the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and traffic to the plasma membrane. As a result, the number of CFTR channels for anion transport present in the membrane is far less than observed in cells expressing wild-type CFTR, i.e., CFTR having no mutations. In addition to impaired trafficking, the mutation results in defective channel gating. Together, the reduced number of channels in the membrane and the defective gating lead to reduced anion and fluid transport across epithelia. (Quinton, P. M. (1990), FASEB J. 4: 2709-2727). The channels that are defective because of the F508del mutation are still functional, albeit less functional than wild-type CFTR channels. (Dalemans et al. (1991), Nature Lond. 354: 526-528; Pasyk and Foskett (1995), J. Cell. Biochem. 270: 12347-50). In addition to F508del, other disease causing mutations in CFTR that result in defective trafficking, synthesis, and/or channel gating could be up- or down-regulated to alter anion secretion and modify disease progression and/or severity.
      CFTR is a cAMP/ATP-mediated anion channel that is expressed in a variety of cell types, including absorptive and secretory epithelia cells, where it regulates anion flux across the membrane, as well as the activity of other ion channels and proteins. In epithelial cells, normal functioning of CFTR is critical for the maintenance of electrolyte transport throughout the body, including respiratory and digestive tissue. CFTR is composed of approximately 1480 amino acids that encode a protein which is made up of a tandem repeat of transmembrane domains, each containing six transmembrane helices and a nucleotide binding domain. The two transmembrane domains are linked by a large, polar, regulatory (R)-domain with multiple phosphorylation sites that regulate channel activity and cellular trafficking.
      Chloride transport takes place by the coordinated activity of ENaC and CFTR present on the apical membrane and the Na +-K +-ATPase pump and Cl  channels expressed on the basolateral surface of the cell. Secondary active transport of chloride from the luminal side leads to the accumulation of intracellular chloride, which can then passively leave the cell via Cl  channels, resulting in a vectorial transport. Arrangement of Na +/2Cl /K + co-transporter, Na +-K +-ATPase pump and the basolateral membrane K + channels on the basolateral surface and CFTR on the luminal side coordinate the secretion of chloride via CFTR on the luminal side. Because water is probably never actively transported itself, its flow across epithelia depends on tiny transepithelial osmotic gradients generated by the bulk flow of sodium and chloride.

At present, the production technique of probenecid mainly contains two kinds:

(1) p-methyl benzenesulfonic acid-dipropyl amine method

Take p-methyl benzenesulfonic acid as raw material, through potassium bichromate or potassium permanganate oxidation, then react generation with chlorsulfonic acid generation sulfonating chlorinating to carboxyl benzene sulfonyl chloride, amidate action occurs then in organic solvent and obtain the finished product probenecid.Reaction process route is as follows:

Figure 642971DEST_PATH_IMAGE001

This technique in a large number with an organic solvent, seriously polluted; Heavy metal recovery and treatment cost are high; Chlorsulfonic acid transportation, storage and use are dangerous large, and acid mist is obvious.Along with the increasing of environmental protection pressure, people increase severely day by day to the concern of environment, and this route is substantially in end-of-life state.

(2) to methyl benzenesulfonamide-Halopropane method

To methyl benzenesulfonamide, through potassium bichromate or potassium permanganate oxidation, be P―Carboxybenzenesulfonamide, under the effect of alkali, with Halopropane generation alkylated reaction, after acidifying, obtain probenecid.Reaction process route is as follows:

Figure 201310587646X100002DEST_PATH_IMAGE003

This process using sodium dichromate 99 or potassium permanganate oxidation are to methyl benzenesulfonamide, and yield is on the low side (lower than 50%).In addition, the waste water that contains chromium or manganese is difficult to dispose, and these have all seriously restricted further developing of this technique.

Reaction scheme of the present invention is as follows:

Probenecid is primarily used to treat gout and hyperuricemia.

Probenecid is sometimes used to increase the concentration of some antibiotics and to protect the kidneys when given with cidofovir. Specifically, a small amount of evidence supports the use of intravenous cefazolin once rather than three times a day when it is combined with probenecid.[2]

It has also found use as a masking agent,[3] potentially helping athletes using performance-enhancing substances to avoid detection by drug tests.

Adverse effects

Mild symptoms such as nausea, loss of appetite, dizziness, vomiting, headache, sore gums, or frequent urination are common with this medication. Life-threatening side effects such as thrombocytopeniahemolytic anemialeukemia and encephalopathy are extremely rare.[4] Theoretically probenecid can increase the risk of uric acid kidney stones.

Drug interactions

Some of the important clinical interactions of probenecid include those with captoprilindomethacinketoprofenketorolacnaproxencephalosporinsquinolonespenicillinsmethotrexatezidovudineganciclovirlorazepam, and acyclovir. In all these interactions, the excretion of these drugs is reduced due to probenecid, which in turn can lead to increased concentrations of these.[5]

Pharmacology

Pharmacodynamics

In gout, probenecid competitively inhibits the reabsorption of uric acid through the organic anion transporter (OAT) at the proximal tubules. This leads to preferential reabsorption of probenecid back into plasma and excretion of uric acid in urine,[6] thus reducing blood uric acid levels and reducing its deposition in various tissues.

Probenecid also inhibits pannexin 1.[7] Pannexin 1 is involved in the activation of inflammasomes and subsequent release of interleukin-1β causing inflammation. Inhibition of pannexin 1 thus reduces inflammation, which is the core pathology of gout.[7]

Pharmacokinetics

In the kidneys, probenecid is filtered at the glomerulus, secreted in the proximal tubule and reabsorbed in the distal tubule. Probenicid lowers the concentration of certain drugs in urine drug screens by reducing renal excretion of these drugs.

Historically, probenecid has been used to increase the duration of action of drugs such as penicillin and other beta-lactam antibiotics. Penicillins are excreted in the urine at proximal and distal convoluted tubules through the same organic anion transporter (OAT) as seen in gout. Probenecid competes with penicillin for excretion at the OAT, which in turn increases the plasma concentration of penicillin.[8]

History

During World War II, probenecid was used to extend limited supplies of penicillin. This use exploited probenecid’s interference with drug elimination (via urinary excretion) in the kidneys and allowed lower doses of penicillin to be used.[9]

Probenecid was added to the International Olympic Committee‘s list of banned substances in January 1988, due to its use as a masking agent.[10]
