Hoffmann-La Roche partners with Curadev Pharma Ltd. for IDO1 and TDO inhibitors (April 20, 2015)
Curadev Pharma Pvt Ltd., founded in 2010 and headquartered in New Delhi, announced that it has entered into a research collaboration and exclusive license agreement with Roche for the development and commercialization of IDO1 and TDO inhibitors to treat cancer. The agreement covers the development of CRD1152, the lead preclinical immune tolerance inhibitor and a research collaboration with Roche’s research and early development organization to further explore the IDO and TDO pathways.
IDO1 (indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase-1) and TDO (tryptophan-2,3-dioxygenase) are enzymes that mediate cancer-induced immune suppression. This mechanism is exploited by tumor cells as well as certain type of immune cells, limiting the anti-tumor immune response. Dual inhibition of the IDO1 and TDO pathways promises to maintain the immune response, prevent local tumor immune escape and potentially avoid resistance to other immunotherapies when used in combination, and could lead to new treatment options for cancer patients. Curadev’s preclinical lead-compound, a small-molecule that shows potent inhibition of the two rate-limiting enzymes in the tryptophan to kynurenine metabolic pathways, has the potential for mono therapy as well as combination with Roche’s broad oncology pipeline and portfolio.
Under the terms of agreement, which includes a research collaboration with Roche’s research and early development organization, Curadev will receive an upfront payment of $25 million and will be eligible to receive up to $530 million in milestone payments, as well as escalating royalties potentially reaching double digits for the first product from the collaboration developed and commercialized by Roche. Curadev is also eligible for milestones and royalties on any additional products resulting from the research collaboration.

writeup
The essential amino acid Tryptophan (Trp) is catabolized through the kynurenine (KYN) pathway. The initial rate-limiting step in the kynurenine pathway is performed by heme-containing oxidoreductase enzymes, including tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO), indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-1 (IDO1), and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-2 (IDO2). IDO1 and IDO2 share very limited homology with TDO at the amino acid level and, despite having different molecular structures, each enzyme has the same biochemical activity in that they each catalyze tryptophan to form N-formylkynurenine. IDO1, IDO2, and/or TDO activity alter local tryptophan concentrations, and the build-up of kynurenine pathway metabolites due to the activity of these enzymes can lead to numerous conditions associated with immune suppression.
|
Kynurenine pathway dysregulation and IDO1 and/or TDO activity also correlate with cardiovascular risk factors, and kynurenines and IDO1 are markers for Atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular heart diseases such as coronary artery disease (Platten et al., Science, 2005, 310(5749):850-5, Wirlietner et al. Eur J Clin Invest. 2003 July; 33(7):550-4) in addition to kidney disease. The kynurenines are associated with oxidative stress, inflammation and the prevalence of cardiovascular disease in patients with end-stage renal disease (Pawlak et al., Atherosclerosis, 2009, (204)1:309-314). Studies show that kynurenine pathway metabolites are associated with endothelial dysfunction markers in the patients with chronic kidney disease (Pawlak et al., Advances in Medical Sciences, 2010, 55(2):196-203).

Glucokinase Activators
Ro 28-1675 (Ro 0281675) is a potent allosteric GK activator with a SC1.5 value of 0.24± 0.0019 uM.
Roche (Innovator)
PHASE 1 Type 2 DIABETES,
IC50 value: 0.24± 0.0019 uM (SC1.5) [1]
Target: Glucokinase activator
The R stereoisomer Ro 28-1675 activated GK with a SC1.5 of 0.24 uM, while the S isomer did not activated GK up to 10 uM. Oral administration of Ro 28-1675 (50 mg/Kg) to male C57B1/6J mice caused a statistically significant reduction in fasting glucose levels and improvement in glucose tolerance relative to the vehicle treated animals [1].
Comparison of rat PK parameters indicated that Ro 28-1675 displayed lower clearance and higher oral bioavailability compared to 9a.
Following a single oral dose, Ro 28-1675 reduced fasting and postprandial glucose levels following an OGTT, was well tolerated, and displayed no adverse effects related to drug administration other than hypoglycemia at the maximum dose (400 mg).
.
RO-28-1675 as glucokinase activator.
Joseph Grimsby et al., of Roche have recently discovered activators of glucokinase that increase kcat and decrease the S0.5 for glucose, and these may offer a treatment for type II diabetes. Glucokinase (GK) plays a key role in whole-body glucose homeostasis by catalyzing the phosphorylation of glucose in cells that express this enzyme, such as pancreatic β cells and hepatocytes.
By screening of a library of 120,000 structurally diverse synthetic compounds, they found one small molecule that increased the enzymatic activity of GK. Chemical optimization of this initial molecule led to the synthesis of RO-28-0450 as a lead GK activator which is a class of antidiabetic agents that act as nonessential, mixed-type GK activators (GKAs) that increase the glucose affinity and maximum velocity (Vmax) of GK. RO-28-0450 is a racemic compound.
Activation of GK was exquisitely sensitive to the chirality of the molecule: The R enantiomer, RO-28-1675, was found to be a potent GKA, whereas the S enantiomer, RO-28-1674, was inactive. RO-28-1675 also reversed the inhibitory action of the human glucokinase regulatory protein (GKRP). The activators binding in a glucokinase regulatory site originally was discovered in patients with persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemi.
The result of RO-28-1675 as a potent small molecule GKA may shed light to the chemical biologists to devise strategy for developing activators. Thus for a success to this end we must focus on highly regulated enzymes, or cooperative enzymes such as glucokinase, where nature has provided binding sites that are designed to modulate catalysis.
.SYNTHESIS
Paper

Glucokinase (GK) is a glucose sensor that couples glucose metabolism to insulin release. The important role of GK in maintaining glucose homeostasis is illustrated in patients with GK mutations. In this publication, identification of the hit molecule 1 and its SAR development, which led to the discovery of potent allosteric GK activators 9a and 21a, is described. Compound 21a (RO0281675) was used to validate the clinical relevance of targeting GK to treat type 2 diabetes.

RG-1577, a selective and reversible monoamine oxidase B inhibitor, for treating AD (phase 2 clinical, as of May 2015).
Family members of the product case for RG-1577 (WO2004026825) hold protection in EU until 2023 and expire in US in 2024 with US154 extension. Follows on from WO2006097197, claiming a process for preparing RG-1577.
Alzheimer‘s Disease is a brain disease that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, up to loss of the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. It is the most common cause of dementia among older people. Mild Alzheimer‘s Disease manifests itself in memory loss and small changes in other cognitive abilities, e.g getting lost, trouble handling money and managing daily tasks, having some mood and personality changes, etc.
In the stage of Moderate Alzheimer‘s Disease, the control of language, reasoning, sensory processing, and conscious thought are impacted. Memory loss and con usion grow worse, e.g patients have problems recognizing family and friends and become unable to learn new things, etc. hallucinations, delusions, and paranoia may occur. .Severe Alzheimer‘s Disease is the final stage. Patients cannot communicate anymore and are completely dependent.
N-[(3S)-l-[4-[(3-fluorophenyl)methoxy]phenyl]-5-oxo-pyrrolidin-3-yl]acetamide has previously been described in the art. 1 WO 2006/097197 2 and WO 2006/0972703 relate to methods for preparing enantiomerically pure 4-pyrrolidinophenylbenzyl ether derivatives.
The processes of the prior art hamper from several drawbacks (e.g. long reaction sequence, low overall yield also due to loss of half of the product in the classical resolution step, the need for a chromatographic purification to remove by-products formed in the Mitsunobu reaction) and are therefore less suitable for the preparation of N-[(3S)-l-[4-[(3-fluorophenyl) methoxy]phenyl]-5-oxo-pyrrolidin-3-yl]acetamide on large scale.

Crystallized (1) form previous step (9.5 g, 0.028 mol) was dissolved in 2-butanone (290 mL) upon heating. The hot solution was filtered over charcoal. The solution was concentrated by removal of 2-butanone (200 mL) by distillation prior to seeded cooling crystallization. Filtration, washing with chilled 2-butanone and drying at 50°C/25 mbar/16h afforded 9.18 g (93.9% corrected yield) of the title compound (1) as a crystalline powder of polymorphic form B with an assay of 100.4 %(w/w) and a purity of 99.97 %(area) (by HPLC).
Alternatively, to a stirred suspension of hydroxyamide (6) (30.0 g, 0.083 mol) in toluene (500 ml) was added at 50°C within 45 minutes thionyl chloride (10.40 g, 0.087 mol) and the resulting mixture was stirred for 3h at 50°C. The mixture was then heated up to 92°C and subsequently stirred at this temperature for 15 h. The Suspension was then cooled to 50°C and toluene was removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The distillation residue was cooled to ambient temperature and treated with N-methylpyrrolidone (210 ml) to obtain an almost clear solution. This solution was then cooled to -10°C and subsequently treated at this temperature within 2h with a solution of potassium iert-butoxide (12.40 g, 0.111 mol) in THF (60 g). The resulting mixture was stirred for another 60 minutes at -10°C, then warmed up to room temperature within 60 minutes and subsequently stirred at room temperature for 6 h. The reaction mixture was quenched with water (150 g) and the pH was adjusted with acetic acid (approx. 1.8 g) to pH 7-8. The mixture was then heated to 30-45°C and THF and toluene were distilled off under reduced pressure (<200 mbar) to obtain a clear NMP/water mixture (400 ml). This mixture was heated to 45°C and 260 mg of seed crystals were added. Water (320 ml) was then added within 3 h whereby the product crystallized. The resulting suspension was cooled to room temperature within 3 h and subsequently stirred at this temperature for 2 h. Filtration and washing of the filter cake with a mixture of water (100 ml) and N-methylpyrrolidone (20 ml) and subsequently only with water (150 ml) afforded after drying (70°C/10 mbar/20 h) 26.2 g (92%) of the title compound (1) as a crystalline powder with an assay of 99.6 %(w/w) and a purity of 99.7 %(area) (by HPLC).
