Do you want to improve efficiency and innovation in your synthetic route design, development and optimisation?

The efficient conversion of a chemical process into a process for manufacture on tonnage scale has always been of importance in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. However, in the current economic and regulatory climate, it has become increasingly vital and challenging to do so efficiently. Indeed, it has never been so important to keep up to date with the latest developments in this dynamic field.

At this Organic Process Research & Development Conference, you will hear detailed presentations and case studies from top international chemists. The hand-picked programme of speakers has been put together specifically for an industrial audience. They will discuss the latest issues relating to synthetic route design, development and optimisation in the pharmaceutical, fine chemical and allied fields. Unlike other conferences, practically all our speakers are experts from industry, which means the ideas and information you take home will be directly applicable to your own work.

The smaller numbers at our conferences create a more intimate atmosphere. You will enjoy plenty of opportunities to meet and network with speakers and fellow attendees during the reception, sit-down lunches and extended coffee breaks in a relaxed and informal environment. Together, you can explore the different strategies and tactics evolving to meet today’s challenges.

This is held in Pune, close proximity to Mumbai city, very convenient to stay and travel to either in Pune or Mumbai. I feel this should be an opportunity to be grabbed before the conference is full and having no room

SPP-301 is an oral, once-daily, second-generation endothelin ETA receptor antagonist which had been in phase III clinical development at Speedel for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. In December 2006, the company reported that the phase III trial had been stopped based on the recommendation from the trial’s Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) to stop the trial following incidence of a significant imbalance in fluid retention in patients in the study arms. Speedel reported that the compound will be evaluated for potential new clinical development for the treatment of diabetic kidney disease and other indications.

Originally developed by Roche and specifically optimized for improved liver safety, SPP-301 was licensed to Speedel in October 2000. In 2003, Speedel exercised its option to license from Roche all rights to SPP-301, including exclusive worldwide rights for the full development and commercialization of the ETA antagonist. SPP-301 has fast track designation and has undergone a special protocol assessment (SPA) by the FDA. Speedel had been studying the drug for the treatment of hypertension.

SYNTHESIS OF

4,6-dichloro-5-(2-methoxy-phenoxy)-2-pyridin-4-yl)-pyrimidine

A BASIC STARTING MATERIAL FOR AVOSENTAN

- b) 53.1 g of 4-cyano-pyridine (98%) are added all at once to a solution of 1.15 g of sodium in 200 ml of abs. MeOH. After 6 hours 29.5 g of NH₄Cl are added while stirring vigorously. The mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight. 600 ml of ether are added thereto, whereupon the precipitate is filtered off under suction and thereafter dried at 50°C under reduced pressure. There is thus obtained 4-amidino-pyridine hydrochloride (decomposition point 245-247°C).
- c) 112.9 g of diethyl (2-methoxyphenoxy)malonate are added dropwise within 30 minutes to a solution of 27.60 g of sodium in 400 ml of MeOH. Thereafter, 74.86 g of the amidine hydrochloride obtained in b) are added all at once. The mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight and evaporated at 50°C under reduced pressure. The residue is treated with 500 ml of ether and filtered off under suction. The filter cake is dissolved in 1000 ml of H₂O and treated little by little with 50 ml of CH₃COOH. The precipitate is filtered off under suction, washed with 400 ml of H₂O and dried at 80°C under reduced pressure. There is thus obtained 5-(2-methoxy-phenoxy)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)-pyrimidine-4,6-diol (or tautomer), melting point above 250°C.
- d) A suspension of 154.6 g of 5-(2-methoxy-phenoxy)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)-pyrimidine-4,6-diol (or tautomer) in 280 ml of POCl₃ is heated at 120°C in an oil bath for 24 hours while stirring vigorously. The reaction mixture changes gradually into a dark brown liquid which is evaporated under reduced pressure and thereafter taken up three times with 500 ml of toluene and evaporated. The residue is dissolved in 1000 ml of CH₂Cl₂, treated with ice and H₂O and thereafter adjusted with 3N NaOH until the aqueous phase has pH 8. The organic phase is separated and the aqueous phase is extracted twice with CH₂Cl₂. The combined CH₂Cl₂ extracts are dried with MgSO₄, evaporated to half of the volume, treated with 1000 ml of acetone and the CH₂Cl₂remaining is distilled off at normal pressure. After standing in a refrigerator for 2 hours the crystals are filtered off under suction and dried at 50°C overnight. There is thus obtained 4,6-dichloro-5-(2-methoxy-phenoxy)-2-pyridin-4-yl)-pyrimidine, melting point 178-180°C.

Diabetic nephropathy is the principle cause of end stage renal disease in the western world. It is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Type-I Diabetes, but is an increasing problem in Type-II Diabetes and because the incidence of this is five times that of Type-I Diabetes, it contributes at least 50% of diabetics with end stage renal disease.
The initial stage of subtle morphologic changes in the renal glomeruli is followed by microalbuminuria. This is associated with a modestly rising blood pressure and an increased incidence of cardiovascular disease. There follows a continued increase in urinary protein excretion and declining glomerular filtration rate. Diabetic nephropathy has many possible underlying pathophysiological causes including metabolic, glycosylation of proteins, haemodynamics, altered flow/pressure in glomeruli, the development of hypertension and cytokine production; all of these are associated with the development of extracellular matrix and increased vascular permeability leading to glomerular damage and proteinuria.

http://www.ama-assn.org/resources/doc/usan/palbociclib.pdf FOR STRUCTURE AND DETAILS

recent studies have identified a number of selective CDK4 inhibitors that, as discussed above, may prove useful in treating cancer—either as anti-cancer agents or as chemoprotective agents—and in treating cardiovascular disorders, such as restenosis and atherosclerosis, diseases caused by infectious agents, and autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis. For a disclosure of these selective CDK4 inhibitors, see commonly assigned International Patent Application PCT/IB03/00059, filed Jan. 10, 2003 (the ‘059 application), which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes.

The ‘059 application discloses a particularly potent and selective CDK4 inhibitor, 6-acetyl-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-2-(5-piperazin-1-yl-pyridin-2-ylamino)-8H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one:

In standard enzyme assays the compound of Formula 1 exhibits IC₅₀concentrations for CDK4 and CDK2 inhibition (at 25° C.) of 0.011 μM and >5 μM, respectively. For a discussion of standard CDK4 and CDK2 assays for IC₅₀determinations, see D. W. Fry et al., J. Biol. Chem. (2001) 16617-16623.

Though the compound of Formula 1 is a potent and selective CDK4 inhibitor, its use in pharmaceutical products presents challenges. For example, the free base has poor water solubility (9 μg/mL) and exhibits low bioavailability in animal studies. A di-HCl salt of the compound of Formula 1 appears to exhibit adequate water solubility. However, moisture uptake studies reveal that, even at low relative humidity (10% RH), the di-HCl salt absorbs water in an amount greater than about 2% of its mass, making it unsuitable for use in a solid drug product. A mono-HCl salt of the compound of Formula 1 is marginally hygroscopic, absorbing more than 2% of its mass at a relative humidity above 80%. However, the process for preparing the mono-HCl salt yields partially crystalline drug substance, indicating potential problems with process scale-up. Other salt forms of the compound of Formula 1 are thus needed.

Pfizer’s breast cancer drug Palbociclib (PD-0332991), a first in the class oral inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) 4 and 6, is widely seen by investors as Pfizer’s most valuable compound in late-stage development. The FDA awarded Palbociclib “breakthrough therapy designation” in April 2013 based on the preliminary phase 2 data showing palbociclib, combined with Novartis’ drug,Femara (Letrozole), stopped breast tumors progression for more than two years as compared with 7.5 months with letrozole alone. The phase 3 trial started in February 2013 and estimated final completion date is March 2016. Leerink Swann analyst Seamus Fernandez forecasts palbociclib could become a $5 billion drug, with potential for $3 billion in first-line metastatic breast cancer alone.

Palbociclib, also known as PD0332991, is an orally available pyridopyrimidine-derived cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor with potential antineoplastic activity. PD-0332991 selectively inhibits cyclin-dependent kinases (particularly Cdk4/cyclin D1 kinase), which may inhibit retinoblastoma (Rb) protein phosphorylation; inhibition of Rb phosphorylation prevents Rb-positive tumor cells from entering the S phase of the cell cycle (arrest in the G1 phase), resulting in suppression of DNA replication and decreased tumor cell proliferation. PD 0332991 is a highly specific inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (Cdk4) (IC50 = 0.011 μmol/L) and Cdk6 (IC50 = 0.016 μmol/L), having no activity against a panel of 36 additional protein kinases.

6-Acetyl-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-2-(5-piperazin-1-yl-pyridin-2-ylamino)-8H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one hydrochloride (also referred to as “Compound 1”),

as well as its intermediates. Compound 1 is described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,936,612, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated in its entirety. This compound is a protein kinase inhibitor and represents a synthetic, small molecule inhibitor capable of modulating cell cycle control.

A method of preparing Compound 1 is disclosed as Example 36 of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 6,936,612. Methods of preparing the isethionate salt forms of Compound 1 are disclosed in Examples 1-13 of WO 2005/005426. These methods are for synthesis of small quantities of the salt forms of Compound 1 and are not designed for commercial scale-up. Therefore, a preparation of the salt forms for CDK inhibitor 6-Acetyl-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-2-(5-piperazin-1-yl-pyridin-2-ylamino)-8H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one hydrochloride which is cost-efficient, scaleable and productive is highly desirable.

The free base (Formula 1, 0.895 mg, 2 mmol) was mixed with 10 mL of MeOH and seeded with 33 mg of a mono-isethionate salt of the compound of Formula 1 (Form B). Then 5.6 mL of a 0.375 M solution of isethionic acid in MeOH (2.1 mmol) was added in 10 even portions over 75 min time period. The mixture was stirred for an additional hour and a sample was taken for PXRD analysis. It confirmed formation of crystalline Form B. The mixture was stirred at RT overnight and another PXRD was taken. There was no change in the crystal form. The mixture was cooled in a refrigerator at −8° C. overnight, filtered, and dried at 50° C. in a vacuum oven to give 1.053 g (91.8% of theory) of the above-named compound (Form B). HPLC—99.8%, CHNS, H-NMR, IR are consistent with the structure, PXRD-Form B.

Example 8 Preparation of a mono-isethionate salt of 6-acetyl-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-2-(5-piperazin-1-yl-pyridin-2-ylamino)-8H-pyrido[2.3-d]pyrimidin-7-one (Form A)

An amorphous isethionate salt (47 mg, prepared as in Example 4) was mixed with 4 mL of EtOH in a 15 mL flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer, thermocouple and condenser. The mixture was heated to reflux, which resulted in the formation of a nearly clear solution. After refluxing for 10-15 min, the mixture became cloudy. It was slowly cooled to 50° C. and was seeded at 69° C. with Form A. The mixture was held at 50° C. for 5 h and was allowed to cool to RT overnight. The mixture was subsequently cooled to 1° C. with an ice bath, held for 1.5 h, filtered, washed with 0.5 mL of cold EtOH, air-dried, and then dried in a vacuum oven at 70° C. overnight to furnished 38.2 mg of a fine crystalline material. The crystalline material was found to be mono-isethionate salt Form A by PXRD. H-NMR was consistent for the mono-isethionate salt and indicated the presence of residual EtOH ca. 5.9 mol % or 0.6 wt %.

Example 9 Preparation of a mono-isethionate salt of 6-acetyl-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-2-(5-piperazin-1-yl-pyridin-2-ylamino)-8H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one (Form D)

An amorphous isethionate salt (9.0 g, prepared as in Example 4) was mixed with 300 mL of MeOH, stirred and heated to 63.8° C. (at reflux). To the slightly cloudy mixture was added two 50-mL portions of MeOH. The hot mixture was filtered into a 2-L flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer. The mixture was briefly heated to reflux and then cooled to 60° C. IPA (100 mL) was added to the mixture. The mixture was again heated to 60° C. and an additional 110 mL of IPA was added. A precipitate started to form at 59.7° C. The mixture was reheated to 67.5° C., cooled to 50° C., and held overnight. A sample was taken the next morning for PXRD analysis. The mixture was cooled to 25° C. at a rate of 3° C./h and another PXRD sample was taken when the mixture reached 28° C. The mixture was allowed to cool to RT overnight. A precipitate was collected and dried in a vacuum oven at 65° C. and 30 Torr. The procedure produced 7.45 g (82.8% yield) of the crystalline compound (Form D by PXRD analysis). Previously analyzed samples were also Form D. HPLC showed 98.82% purity and CHNS microanalysis was within +/−0.4%. A slurry of isethionate salt Form A, B, and D in MeOH yielded substantially pure Form B in less than three days.

Example 10 Preparation of isethionic acid (2-hydroxy-ethanesulfonic acid)

A 5-L, four-necked, round-bottomed flask, equipped with mechanical stirrer, thermocouple, gas sparger, and an atmosphere vent through a water trap was charged with 748 g (5.05 mol) of sodium isethionate (ALDRICH), and 4 L of IPA. The slurry was stirred at RT. An ice bath was used to keep the internal temperature below 50° C. as 925 g (25.4 mol) of hydrogen chloride gas (ALDRICH) was sparged into the system at a rate such that it dissolved as fast as it was added (as noted by lack of bubbling through the water trap). Sufficient HCl gas was added until the system was saturated (as noted by the start of bubbling through the water trap). During the addition of HCl, the temperature rose to 45° C. The slurry was cooled to RT and filtered over a coarse-fritted filter. The cake was washed with 100 mL of IPA and the cloudy filtrate was filtered through a 10-20μ filter. The resulting clear, colorless filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure on a rotary evaporator, while keeping the bath temperature below 50° C. The resulting 1.07 kg of clear, light yellow oil was diluted with 50 mL of tap water and 400 mL of toluene and concentrated under reduced pressure on a rotary evaporator for three days, while keeping the bath temperature below 50° C. The resulting 800 g of clear, light yellow oil was diluted with 500 mL of toluene and 250 mL of IPA and concentrated under reduced pressure on a rotary evaporator for 11 days, keeping the bath temperature below 50° C. The resulting 713 g of clear, light yellow oil was titrated at 81 wt % (580 g, 91.1% yield) containing 7.9 wt % water and 7.5 wt % IPA.

A 5-L, three-necked, round-bottomed flask, equipped with a mechanical stirrer, a thermocouple, and a nitrogen inlet/outlet vented through a silicone oil bubbler was placed under a nitrogen atmosphere and charged with 4-[6-(6-bromo-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-7-oxo-7,8-dihydro-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2-ylamino)-pyridin-3-yl]-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (300 g, 0.51 mol, prepared as in Example 2), butyl vinyl ether (154 g, 1.54 mol, ALDRICH), n-butanol (1.5 L, ALDRICH), and diisopropyl ethylamine (107 mL, 0.62 mol, ALDRICH). The slurry was placed under approximately 50 Torr vacuum and then refilled with nitrogen 3 times. To this was added 8.3 g (0.01 mol) bis-(diphenylphosphinoferrocene) palladium dichloride dichloromethane (JOHNSON MATTHEY, Lot 077598001) and the resulting slurry was purged an additional three times as described above. The mixture was then heated to 95° C. and stirred for 20 h. The resulting thin red slurry was diluted with 2 L of heptane and cooled to approximately 5° C. At this temperature, 400 mL saturated aqueous potassium carbonate was added and the mixture was filtered and rinsed with 250 mL of heptane. After drying in an oven for 16 h at 45° C., 231.7 g (75% yield) of the title compound was obtained as a yellow solid.

A 22-L, three-necked, round-bottomed flask, equipped with a mechanical stirrer, a thermocouple, and a nitrogen inlet/outlet vented through a silicone oil bubbler was placed under a nitrogen atmosphere and charged with 4-{6-[6-(1-butoxy-vinyl)-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-7-oxo-7,8-dihydro-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2-ylamino]-pyridin-3-yl}-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (725 g, 1.20 mol, prepared as in Example 11) and MeOH (14 L). The slurry was stirred at RT as it was charged with a solution of isethionic acid (530 g, 4.20 mol, prepared as in Example 10), MeOH (1.5 L), and water (70 mL, 3.89 mol). The resulting slurry was heated to 55° C. over 30 minutes and then stirred at 55° C. for 30 minutes. A solution of 175 g (1.73 mol) of Et₃N (ALDRICH) in 200 mL of MeOH was charged to the slurry as it was cooled to 30° C. The slurry was held at 30° C. as a solution of 128 g (1.26 mol) of Et₃N in 2 L of MeOH was added dropwise over 6 hours. The resulting slurry was sampled to determine crystal form (Form B). The slurry was cooled and held at 5° C. for 15 minutes and was subsequently filtered through a coarse-fritted filter. The resulting filter cake was washed with multiple washes of 200 mL of cold MeOH. The solid product was dried at 55° C. under vacuum to yield 710 g (91% yield) of the title compound as yellow crystals.

Pfizer Inc. said that its experimental pill for advanced, often deadly breast cancer has been designated as a breakthrough therapy by the Food and Drug Administration.

The breakthrough designation, created under legislation enacted last summer to fund and improve operations of the FDA, is meant to speed up development and review of experimental treatments that are seen as big advances over existing therapies for serious diseases. Pfizer is working with the agency to determine exactly what research results it will need to apply for approval of the drug.

Palbociclib is being evaluated as an initial treatment for the biggest subgroup of postmenopausal women whose breast cancer is locally advanced or has spread elsewhere in the body. About 60% of women with such advanced breast cancer have tumors classified as ER+, or estrogen-receptor positive, but HER2-, or lacking an excess of the growth-promoting protein HER2.

Estrogen-receptor positive tumors have proteins inside and on the surface of their cells to which the estrogen hormone can attach and then fuel growth of cells. These tumors tend to grow slowly and can be fought with drugs that block estrogen’s effects.

Meanwhile, about 80% of breast cancer tumor cells are HER2 negative. That means that unlike HER2 positive tumors, they don’t produce too much of the HER2 protein, which makes tumors grow and spread more aggressively than in other breast cancer types.

New York-based Pfizer is currently running a late-stage study of palbociclib at multiple centers, comparing its effects when used in combination with letrozole with the effects of letrozole alone.

Letrozole, sold under the brand name Femara for about the past 15 years, is a pill that works by inhibiting aromatase. That’s an enzyme in the adrenal glands that makes estrogen.

According to Pfizer, palbociclib targets enzymes called cyclin dependent kinases 4 and 6. By inhibiting those enzymes, the drug has been shown in laboratory studies to block cell growth and suppress copying of the DNA of the cancer cells.

Pfizer, which has made research on cancer medicines a priority in recent years, also is testing palbociclib as a treatment for other cancers.

Highlight of recent study using PD-0332991

Phase I study of PD-0332991: Forty-one patients were enrolled. DLTs were observed in five patients (12%) overall; at the 75, 125, and 150 mg once daily dose levels. The MTD and recommended phase II dose of PD 0332991 was 125 mg once daily. Neutropenia was the only dose-limiting effect. After cycle 1, grade 3 neutropenia, anemia, and leukopenia occurred in five (12%), three (7%), and one (2%) patient(s), respectively. The most common non-hematologic adverse events included fatigue, nausea, and diarrhea. Thirty-seven patients were evaluable for tumor response; 10 (27%) had stable disease for ≥4 cycles of whom six derived prolonged benefit (≥10 cycles). PD 0332991 was slowly absorbed (median T(max), 5.5 hours), and slowly eliminated (mean half-life was 25.9 hours) with a large volume of distribution (mean, 2,793 L). The area under the concentration-time curve increased linearly with dose. Using an E(max) model, neutropenia was shown to be proportional to exposure. CONCLUSIONS:
PD 0332991 warrants phase II testing at 125 mg once daily, at which dose neutropenia was the sole significant toxicity. (Source: Clin Cancer Res; 18(2); 568-76.)

Phase I study of PD-0332991 in 3-week cycles (Schedule 2/1): Six patients had DLTs (18%; four receiving 200 mg QD; two receiving 225 mg QD); the MTD was 200 mg QD. Treatment-related, non-haematological adverse events occurred in 29 patients (88%) during cycle 1 and 27 patients (82%) thereafter. Adverse events were generally mild-moderate. Of 31 evaluable patients, one with testicular cancer achieved a partial response; nine had stable disease (≥10 cycles in three cases). PD 0332991 was slowly absorbed (mean T(max) 4.2 h) and eliminated (mean half-life 26.7 h). Volume of distribution was large (mean 3241 l) with dose-proportional exposure. Using a maximum effective concentration model, neutropenia was proportional to exposure. CONCLUSION: PD 0332991 was generally well tolerated, with DLTs related mainly to myelosuppression. The MTD, 200 mg QD, is recommended for phase II study. (source: Br J Cancer. 2011 Jun 7;104(12):1862-8)

Zosuquidar is currently under development. It is now in “Phase 3” of clinical tests in the United States. Its action mechanism consists of the inhibition of P-glycoproteins; other drugs with this mechanism include tariquidar and laniquidar. P-glycoproteins are proteins which convert the energy derived from the hydrolysis of ATP to structural changes in protein molecules, in order to perform coupling, thus discharging medicine from cells. If P-glycoprotein coded with the MDR1 gene manifests itself in cancer cells, it discharges much of the antineoplastic drugs from the cells, making cancer cells medicine tolerant, and rendering antineoplastic drugs ineffective. This protein also manifests itself in normal organs not affected by the cancer (such as the liver, small intestine, and skin cells in blood vessels of the brain), and participates in the transportation of medicine. The compound Zosuquidar inhibits this P-glycoprotein, causing the cancer cells to lose their medicine tolerance, and making antineoplastic drugs effective

Clinicial trials: Clinical report published in 2010 showed that zosuquidar did not improve outcome in older acute myeloid leukemia, in part, because of the presence P-gp independent mechanisms of resistance. (Blood. 2010 Nov 18;116(20):4077-85.)

Zosuquidar is a potent P-glycoprotein inhibitor, which binds with high affinity to P-glycoprotein and inhibits P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistance (MDR). P-glycoprotein, encoded by the MDR-1 gene, is a member of the ATP-binding cassette superfamily of transmembrane transporters and prevents the intracellular accumulation of many natural product-derived cytotoxic agents

Zosuquidar

U.S. Patent No. 5,112,817 to Fukazawa et al. discloses certain quinoline derivatives useful as anticancer drug potentiators for the treatment of multidrug resistance. One of the initially promising active agents there-disclosed is MS-073, which has the following structure:

MS-073

U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,643,909 and 5,654,304 disclose a series of 10,11- methanobenzosuberane derivatives useful in enhancing the efficacy of existing cancer chemotherapeutics and for treating multidrug resistance. One such derivative having good activity, oral bioavailability, and stability, is zosuquidar, a compound of formula (2R)-anti-5-

3 – [4-( 10, 11 -difluoromethanodibenzosuber-5-yl)piperazin- 1 -yl]-2-hydroxypropoxy) quinoline.

Zosuquidar

Given the limitations of previous generations of MDR modulators, three preclinical critical success factors were identified and met for zosuquidar: 1) it is a potent inhibitor of P-glycoprotein; 2) it is selective for P-glycoprotein; and 3) no pharmacokinetic interaction with co-administered chemotherapy is observed.

Zosuquidar is extremely potent in vitro (Kj = 59 nM) and is among the most active modulators of P-gp-associated resistance described to date. Zosuquidar has also demonstrated good in vivo activity in preclinical animal studies. In addition, the compound does not appear to be a substrate for P-gp efflux, resulting in a relatively long duration of reversal activity in resistant cells even after the modulator has been withdrawn.

Another significant attribute of zosuquidar as an MDR modulator is the minimal pharmacokinetic (PK) interactions with several oncolytics tested in preclinical models. Such minimal PK interaction permits normal doses of oncolytics to be administered and also a more straightforward interpretation of the clinical results.

Zosuquidar is generally administered in the form of the trihydrochloride salt. Conventional zosuquidar trihydrochloride formulations include those containing zosuquidar (50 mg as free base), glycine (15 mg), and mannitol (200 mg) dissolved in enough water for injection, to yield a free base concentration of 5 mg/mL. The formulation is filled into vials and lyophilized to give a vial containing 50 mg of free base. For such formulations, a 30 mL vial size is necessary to contain 50 mg of thezosuquidar formulation. For a typical >200 mg dose of zosuquidar, multiple 50 mg vials are needed to contain the formulation, greatly increasing manufacturing costs and reducing convenience for the end user {e.g., a pharmacist). Modified Cyclodextrins

Cyclodextrins are cyclic oligomers of glucose; these compounds form inclusion complexes with any drug whose molecule can fit into the lipophile-seeking cavities of the cyclodextrin molecule. See U.S. Pat. No. 4,727,064 for a description of various cyclodextrin derivatives. Cyclodextrins of preferred embodiments can include α-, β-, and χ-cyclodextrins. The α-cyclodextrins include six glucopyranose units, the β- cyclodextrins include seven glucopyranose units, and the χ-cyclodextrins include eight glucopyranose units. The β -cyclodextrins are generally preferred as having a suitable cavity size for zosuquidar. Cyclodextrin can be in any suitable form, including amorphous and crystalline forms, with the amorphous form generally preferred. Cyclodextrins suitable for use in the formulations of preferred embodiments include the hydroxypropyl, hydroxyethyl, glucosyl, maltosyl, and maltotrosyl derivatives of β- cyclodextrin, carboxyamidomethyl-β-cyclodextrin, carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin, and diethylamino-β-cyclodextrin.

Chemically modified and substituted α-, β-, and χ-cyclodextrins are generally preferred over unmodified α-, β-, and χ-cyclodextrins due to improved toxicity and solubility properties. The degree of substitution of the hydroxy 1 groups of the glucopyranose units of the cyclodextrin ring can affect solubility. In general, a higher average degree of substitution of substituent groups in the cyclodextrin molecule yields a cyclodextrin of higher solubility.

U.S. pat. No. 5,654,304 (‘304), incorporated by reference herein, discloses a series of 10,11-(optionally substituted)methanodibenzosuberane derivatives useful in enhancing, the efficacy of existing cancer chemotherapeutics and for treating multidrug resistance. (2R)-anti-5-{3-[4-(10,11-Difluoromethanodibenzosuber-5-yl)piperazin-1-yl]-2-hydroxypropoxy}quinolone trihydrochloride is disclosed in ‘304 and is currently under development as a pharmaceutical agent. WO00/75121 discloses Form I, a crystalline form of (2R)-anti-5-{3-[4-(10,11-difluoromethanodibenzosuber-5-yl)piperazin-1-yl]-2-hydroxypropoxy}quinolone trihydrochloride.

The art disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,776,939, and U.S. Pat. No. 5,643,909 both incorporated herein by reference, and PCT Patent Applications (Publication numbers WO 94/24107 and 98/22112) teach the use of 1-formylpiperazine to introduce the piperazine group of the compound of formula II

Compound II is a mixture of syn isomer (III)

and anti isomer (IV)

The process as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,643,909 and 5,654,304 (represented by scheme A, below) involves (a) chromatographic separation(s) of the formyl piperazine compound; and (b) deformylation of the formyl piperazine compound to provide compound IV.https://www.google.co.in/patents/US6570016?cl=en

The process of the present invention uses piperazine to react with the (1aα,6α,10bα)-6-halo-1,1-difluoro-1,1a,6,10b-tetrahydrodibenzo[a,e]cyclopropa[c]-cycloheptene compound or derivative, instead of formylpiperazine.

The process of the present invention is advantageous because piperazine is readily available in commercial quantities whereas 1-formylpiperazine, which was utilized in the process disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,643,909 is often not readily available in commercial quantities. Additionally piperazine enjoys a significant cost advantage over 1-formylpiperazine.

The use of piperazine instead of 1-formylpiperazine is a significant advancement over the prior art because it obviates the need to deformylate or hydrolyze off the formyl group (step 6, scheme A), thereby providing fewer operational steps. U.S. Pat. No. 5,643,909 teaches the separation of the 1-formylpiperazine compounds by chromatography or repeated crystallization. The present invention obviates the need for chromatographic separations of the formylpiperazine diastereomeric addition compounds (see step 4, scheme A)

EXAMPLES

The following examples and preparations are illustrative only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Preparation 1 R-1-(5-Quinolinyloxy)-2,3-epoxypropane

The reaction mixture was filtered through paper and the filter cake was washed with 200 mL of a 3:1 mixture of MTBE and methylene chloride. The filtrate was washed with 200 mL of water and the aqueous layer was extracted four times with 100 mL of 3:1 MTBE/methylene chloride. The combined organic layers were dried over 30 grams of magnesium sulfate and the dried solution was then stirred with 50 grams of basic alumina for 30 minutes. The alumina was removed by filtration and the filter cake was washed with 200 mL of 3:1 MTBE/methylene chloride. The filtrate was concentrated to a volume of 100 mL, 300 mL of MTBE were added, and the solution was again concentrated to 80 mL. After heating to 50° C., the solution was treated with 160 mL of heptane dropwise over 15 minutes, allowed to cool to 40° C., and seeded, causing the formation of a crystalline precipitate. The mixture was stirred for two hours at ambient temperature and then at 0-5° C. for an additional 2 hours. The crystals were filtered, washed with cold heptane, and dried to provide 5.68 g (73.2%) of (2R)-1-(5-quinolinyloxy)-2,3-epoxypropane as white needles.

Preparation of the above compound is exemplified in the following preparative steps.

Step 1 1,1-Difluoro-1a,10b-dihydrodibenzo[a,e]cyclopropa[c]-cyclohepten-6 (1H)-one

A solution of sodium chlorodifluoroacetate (350 g) in diglyme (1400 mL) was added dropwise over 4 to 8 hours, preferably over 6 hours, to a solution of 5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclo-hepten-5-one (25 g) in diglyme (500 mL), with stirring, and under nitrogen, maintaining the reaction temperature at 160°-165° C. The cooled reaction mixture was poured into water (1.8 L) and extracted with ether (1.8 L). The organic phase was washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate (Na₂SO₄), and evaporated. The residue was recrystallized from ethanol, then from acetone/hexane to give 14 g of 1,1-difluoro-1a,10b-dihydrodibenzo[a,e]cyclopropa[c]-cyclohepten-6(1H)-one.

Flash chromatography of the combined mother liquors on silica gel, eluting with 20% acetone/hexane, gave an additional 6.5 g of the target compound.

Step 2 (1aα,6β,10bα)-1,1-Difluoro-1,1a,6,10b-tetrahydrodibenzo[a,e]cyclopropa[c]cyclohepten-6-ol

A solution of 1,1-difluoro-1a,10b-dihydro-dibenzo[a,e]cyclopropa[c]cyclohepten-6(1H)-one (20.4 g) in tetrahydrofuran/methanol (1:2, 900 mL) was cooled in an ice bath. Sodium borohydride (12 g) was added in portions. The cooling bath was removed and the reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 hours, then poured into water. The product was filtered off, washed with water, and dried to give 20 g of (1aα,6β,10bα)-1,1-difluoro-1,1a,6,10b-tetrahydrodibenzo[a,e]cyclopropa[c]cyclohepten-6-ol (ii).

mp 230.1°-230.6° C.

Step 2A Combined Steps 1 and 2 Procedure (1aα,6β,10bα)-1,1-Difluoro-1,1a,6,10b-tetrahydrodibenzo[a,e]cyclopropa[c]cyclohepten-6-ol

To a solution of 103.1 g (0.500 mol) of 5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5-one (2) in 515 mL of triethylene glycol dimethyl ether heated to between 180° C. and 210° C. was added over 7 hours, 293.3 g (2.15 mol) of chlorodifluoroacetic acid lithium salt (as a 53% by weight solution in ethylene glycol dimethyl ether). The ethylene glycol dimethyl ether was allowed to distill from the reaction as the salt addition proceeded. The GC analysis of an aliquot indicated that all of the 5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5-one had been consumed. The reaction was cooled to ambient temperature and then combined with 400 mL of ethyl acetate and 75 g of diatomaceous earth. The solids were removed by filtration and washed with 300 mL of ethyl acetate. The washes and filtrate were combined and the ethyl acetate was removed by concentration under vacuum leaving 635 g of dark liquid. The dark liquid was cooled to 18° C. and to this was added, over 15 minutes, 6.62 g (0.175 mol) of sodium borohydride (as a 12% by wt solution in 14 M NaOH). After stirring for 2 h the reaction was quenched by careful addition of 900 mL of a 1:3.5:4.5 solution of conc. HCl-methanol-water. The suspension was stirred for 30 min and the crude product was collected by filtration, washed with 600 mL of 1:1 methanol-water and dried to 126.4 g of dark brown solid. The crude product was slurried in 600 mL of methylene chloride, filtered, washed twice with 150 mL portions of methylene chloride, and dried to 91.6 g (71%) of (1aα,6β,10bα)-1,1-difluoro-1,1a,6,10b-tetrahydrodibenzo[a,e]cyclopropa[c]-cyclohepten-6-ol.

Solvent was then removed by atmospheric distillation (bp 95-98° C.) until approximately 9 mL of distillate was collected. The reaction was cooled and treated with EtOAc (15 mL), Na₂SO₄and activated charcoal. The mixture was stirred at RT for 15 min and filtered through hyflo. The filter cake was washed with 50:50 EtOAc:heptane and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to provide the title product as a crystalline solid.

Step 3A Preparation of (1aα,6α,10bα)-6-Bromo-1-difluoro-1,1a,6,10b-tetrahydrodibenzo[a,e]cyclopropa[c]cycloheptene

To a stirred suspension of (1aα,6β,10bα)-1,1-difluoro-1,1a,6,10b-tetrahydrodibenzo[a,e]cyclopropa[c]-cyclohepten-6-ol, (18.4 g, 71.2 mmol) in 151 mL of methylene chloride which had been cooled to 10-17° C. was added phosphorous tribromide (9.6 g, 35.6 mmol) dropwise over 15 minutes. The cooling bath was removed and the reaction was stirred for 2 hours at ambient temperature. Analysis by gas chromatography indicated complete consumption of starting material. Cold water (92 mL) and activated carbon (1.84 g) were added and the resulting mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. The activated carbon was removed by filtration through Hyflo brand filter aid and the two phases were separated. The organic phase was washed with water (184 mL×2), brine (184 ml), dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to dryness under vacuum, affording 21.7 g (94.8%) of (1aα,6α,10bα)-6-bromo-1,1-difluoro-1,1a,6,10b-tetrahydrodibenzo[a,e]cyclopropa[c]cycloheptene.

To a solution of 237.5 g (0.739 mol) of (1aα,6α,10bα)-6-bromo-1,1-difluoro-1,1a,6,10b-tetrahydrodibenzo[a,e]-cyclopropa[c]cycloheptene in 3.56 L of acetonitrile was added 207.7 g (2.41 mol) of piperazine and the mixture was heated to reflux for 2 hours, at which time analysis by gas chromatography showed complete consumption of (1aα,6α,10bα)-6-bromo-1,1-difluoro-1,1a,6,10b-tetrahydrodibenzo[a,e]cyclopropa[c]cycloheptene (iii) and formation of a mixture of syn and anti piperazine compounds (III and IV) in an anti-syn ratio of 55:45. The reaction was cooled to about 7° C. and stirred for 30 minutes at that temperature. The reaction mixture was filtered to remove the precipitated syn-isomer (III) and the filter cake was washed with 250 mL of acetonitrile. The combined filtrate and wash were concentrated under vacuum to 262.4 grams of a foam which was dissolved in 450 mL of acetonitrile with heating. The solution was cooled to about 12° C. in an ice bath and stirred for 1 hour at that temperature. The precipitated syn-piperazine compound of formula (III) was filtered and washed with 125 ml of acetonitrile. The combined filtrate and wash were concentrated under vacuum to 194.1 g and dissolved in 1.19 L of ethyl acetate. The organic solution was washed sequentially with 500 mL portions of 1N sodium hydroxide, water, and saturated sodium chloride. The ethyl acetate solution was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to give 137.0 grams of residue which was dissolved in 1.37 L of methylene chloride and seeded with (1aα,6α,10bα)-1-(1,1-difluoro-1,1a,6,10b-tetrahydrodibenzo[a,e]cyclopropa[c]-cyclohepten-6-yl)-piperazine, hydrobromide salt, followed by the addition of 70.8 grams of 48% aqueous hydrobromic acid. The mixture was stirred for about 45 minutes, causing the anti-isomer to crystallize as its hydrobromide salt. The crystals were filtered, washed with methylene chloride, and dried to provide purified hydrobromide salt of compound (IVa), shown by HPLC to have an anti-syn ratio of 99.3:0.7. Treatment of the isolated hydrobromide salt of compound (IVa) with aqueous sodium hydroxide, extraction into methylene chloride, separation of the aqueous layer and concentration to dryness gave 80.1 grams (33.2% yield based on starting material) of (1aα,6α,10bα)-1-(1,1-difluoro-1,1a,6,10b-tetrahydrodibenzo[a,e]cyclopropa[c]-cyclohepten-6-yl)-piperazine as the free base. Acidification of a solution of the free base in 800 mL of methylene chloride by addition of 41.2 g of 48% hydrobromic acid as described above afforded 96.4 g of pure hydrobromide salt (title compound) with an anti-syn ratio of 99.8:0.2 (HPLC), mp 282-284° C. ¹H NMR (DMSO-d₆) δ 2.41 (m, 4H), 3.11 (m, 4H), 3.48 (d, J=12.4 Hz, 2H), 4.13 (s, 1H), 7.2 (m, 8H), 8.65 (bs, 2H). ¹³C NMR (DMSO-d₆) δ 28.0, 42.9, 48.0, 75.1, 108.5, 112.9, 117.3, 127.5, 128.0, 128.6, 129.6, 132.4, 141.3.

R-1-(5-quinolinyloxy)-2,3-epoxypropane (3.00 g, 14.9 mmol) was added in one portion and the reaction mixture was heated to 65° C. for 19 hours. HPLC analysis (Gradient system with solvent A (acetonitrile) and solvent B (0.02M sodium monophosphate buffer containing 0.1% triethylamine adjusted to pH 3.5 with phosphoric acid) as follows: 0-12 min, 30% solvent A/70% solvent B; 12-30 min, linear gradient from 30% to 55% solvent A/70% to 45% solvent B; 30-35 min, 55% solvent A/45% solvent B, 1 mL/min, 1=240 nm, Synchropak SCD-100 25 cm×4.6 mm column) indicated the total consumption of the piperazinyl compound of formula (IV). The mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, filtered through a plug of silica gel, and eluted with an additional 90 mL of ethanol. The eluent was concentrated to a volume of approximately 60 mL and heated to 65° C. with stirring. A solution of HCl in ethanol (16.1 g at 0.135 g/g of solution, 59.6 mmol) was added dropwise over 10 minutes and the resultant product solution was seeded, causing the trihydrochloride salt to precipitate. The mixture was allowed to cool to ambient temperature and stirred slowly (less than 100 RPM) for 2 hours. The precipitate was filtered, washed with ethanol, and dried in vacuo at 50° C. to give the crude trihydrochloride salt which was further purified by recrystallization from methanol/ethyl acetate to provide 7.45 g (78.4%) of (2R)-anti-1-[4-(10,11-difluoromethano-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5-yl)-piperazin-1-yl]-3-quinolin-5-yloxy)-propan-2-ol trihydrochloride.

Daiichi Sankyo will file edoxaban on both sides of the Atlantic shortly after the bloodthinner proved as effective and safer than warfarin in a Phase III trial of patients with atrial fibrillation.

The company has presented data on edoxaban, a once-daily oral factor Xa inhibitor, at the American Heart Association meeting in Dallas, from a study involving 21,105 patients across 46 countries. The drug, evaluated in 60mg and 30mg doses, met its primary endpoint of non-inferiority compared to warfarin for the prevention of stroke or systemic embolic events in patients with non-valvular AF.http://www.pharmatimes.com/Article/13-11-20/Daiichi_Sankyo_anticoagulant_edoxaban_succeeds_in_Phase_III.aspx

Edoxaban (INN, codenamed DU-176b, trade name Lixiana) is an anticoagulant drug which acts as a direct factor Xa inhibitor. It is being developed by Daiichi Sankyo. It was approved in July 2011 in Japan for prevention of venous thromboembolisms (VTE) following lower-limb orthopedic surgery.^[1]

In animal studies, edoxaban is potent, selective for factor Xa and has good oral bioavailability.^[2]

Daichi Sankyo’s edoxaban tosilate is an orally administered
coagulation factor Xa inhibitor that was approved and launched
in Japan for the preventive treatment of venous thromboembolic
events (VTE) in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty, total
hip arthroplasty, or hip fracture surgery. Edoxaban has been
shown to have a rapid onset of anticoagulant effect due to short
Tmax (1–2 h) after dosing and sustained for up to 24 h post-dose.
Marketed under the brand name Lixiana, it is currently in phase
III studies in the US for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolic
events in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and venous
thromboembolism (VTE).

Several Phase II clinical trials have been conducted, for example for thromboprophylaxis after total hip replacement^[3] (phase III early results compare well to enoxaparin^[4]), and for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation^[5]^[6].Those papers follow similar recent major trials showing similar results for the other new factor Xa inhibitors, rivaroxaban and apixaban.

A large phase III trial showed that edoxaban was non inferior to warfarin in preventing recurrent venous thromboembolic events with fewer episodes of major bleeding.^[7]

Edoxaban hydrochloride
CAS Number: 480448-29-1
Molecular Formula: C₂₄H₃₀ClN₇O₄S · HCl
Molecular Weight: 584.52 g.mol^-1

Edoxaban is reported to be a member of the so-called “Xaban-group” and as such to be a low molecular inhibitor of the enzyme factor Xa, participating in the blood coagulation system. Therefore, edoxaban is classified as an antithrombotic drug and its possible medical indications are reported to be treatment of thrombosis and thrombosis prophylaxis after orthopaedic operations, such as total hip replacement, as well as for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation, the prophylaxis of the acute coronary syndrome and the prophylaxis after thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.

The IUPAC name for edoxaban is N’-(5-chloropyridin-2-yl)-N-[(15,2^,4S)-4- (dimethylcarbamoyl)-2-[(5-methyl-6,7-dihydro-4H-[l ,3]thiazolo[5,4-c]pyridine-2- carbonyl)amino]cyclohexyl]oxamide. The chemical structure of edoxaban is shown in the formula (1) below:

formula ( 1 ) While Edoxaban is reported to be soluble in strongly acidic aqueous solutions, its solubility is considered to be very low in neutral or alkaline aqueous media. EP 2 140 867 A 1 claims an edoxaban-containing pharmaceutical composition comprising a water-swelling additive and/or a sugar alcohol. Further, it is alleged that compositions comprising lactose or cornstarch do not have good dissolution properties. The claimed pharmaceutical compositions in EP 2 140 867 Al are considered to show good dissolution properties in a neutral aqueous medium as well. Tablets comprising said composition were produced by wet granulation. However, it turned out that prior art pharmaceutical formulations comprising edoxaban being suitable for oral administration are still improvable with regards to dissolution rate and bioavailability. Further, stability and content uniformity of the known formulations could be improved. Further, due to the intolerance of many people to sugar alcohol(s), such as sorbitol, the use of sugar alcohol(s) should be avoided.

FDA PRESS RELEASE

For Immediate Release: Oct. 25, 2013

http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm372261.htm

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Vizamyl (flutemetamol F 18 injection), a radioactive diagnostic drug for use with positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of the brain in adults being evaluated for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and dementia.

Dementia is associated with diminishing brain functions such as memory, judgment, language and complex motor skills. The dementia caused by AD is associated with the accumulation in the brain of an abnormal protein called beta amyloid and damage or death of brain cells. However, beta amyloid can also be found in the brain of patients with other dementias and in elderly people without neurologic disease.

Vizamyl works by attaching to beta amyloid and producing a PET image of the brain that is used to evaluate the presence of beta amyloid. A negative Vizamyl scan means that there is little or no beta amyloid accumulation in the brain and the cause of the dementia is probably not due to AD. A positive scan means that there is probably a moderate or greater amount of amyloid in the brain, but it does not establish a diagnosis of AD or other dementia. Vizamyl does not replace other diagnostic tests used in the evaluation of AD and dementia.

Flutemetamol [ 18 F] Injection is a diagnostic positron emission tomography (PET) agent for the imaging of β-amyloid plaques in the brain. The synthesis of the agent can be performed using automated synthesis platforms with or without using specially-tailored cassettes. For example, the synthesis can be performed using either the TRACERlab FX F-N platform or the FASTlab™ platform, commercially available from GE Healthcare a division of General Electric Company in conjunction with auxiliary preparative high pressure liquid

chromatography equipment. After synthesis, the bulk agent is transferred to high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) equipment to separate the physico-chemically similar compounds [ 18 F] flutemetamol from its deprotected precursor, AHl 11832 (6-hydroxy-2-(4′-(N- methyl)amino-3′-nitro)phenylbenzothiazole) and hence obtain purified [ 18 F] flutemetamol.

However there still exists a need in the art for alternative purification methods for the preparation of [ 18 F] flutemetamol. The invention as described below answers such a need. Specifically, Applicants have now found a process that eliminates the use of preparative HPLC equipment. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

As [ 18 F]flutemetamol and its deprotected precursor, AH111832 (6-hydroxy-2-(4′-(N- methyl)amino-3′-nitro)phenylbenzothiazole) are physico-chemically very similar, preparative HPLC is required to separate them. However, Applicants have now found that it is possible to replace the preparative HPLC equipment in previous purification processes with low cost, single-use solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridges for purification of [ 18 F]flutemetamol.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a purification process comprising the following steps:

(a) passing a diluted crude product reaction mixture comprising flutemetamol through a first reverse phase SPE cartridge;

(b) washing said first reverse phase SPE cartridge with a water/acetonitrile,

tetrahydrofuran(THF)/water, methanol(MeOH)/water or isopropanol/water mixture; preferably, a water/acetonitrile mixture;

(c) rinsing said first reverse phase SPE cartridge with water once step (b) is completed; (d) eluting said first reverse phase SPE cartridge with acetonitrile or tetrahydrofuran; preferably, acetonitrile;

(e) directly passing the mixture from said eluting step (d) through a normal phase SPE cartridge to give an acetonitrile or tetrahydrofuran solution; preferably, an acetonitrile solution, comprising purified flutemetamol; (f) diluting said acetonitrile or tetrahydrofuran solution; preferably, an acetonitrile solution, comprising purified flutemetamol, with water to form a diluted water/acetonitrile or a diluted water/tetrahydrofuran solution; preferably, a diluted water/acetonitrile solution, comprising purified flutemetamol, wherein said water/acetonitrile solution contains about 40- 70% (v/v) water; preferably at least about 40% (v/v) water; more preferably at least about 50% (v/v) water;

(g) passing the diluted water/acetonitrile or diluted water/tetrahydrofuran solution; preferably, diluted water/acetonitrile solution, comprising purified flutemetamol of step (f) through a second reverse phase SPE cartridge and trapping the flutemetamol on said cartridge second reverse phase SPE cartridge;

(h) rinsing said second reverse phase SPE cartridge with water; and

(i) eluting the trapped purified flutemetamol from second reverse phase SPE cartridge with an injectable organic solvent; preferably, ethanol or DMSO; preferably with ethanol.

According to the invention, the purified flutemetamol can be collected after step (i).

The present invention also provides a purification process of the present invention, wherein the process is automated.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is defined histologically by the presence of extracellular β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques and intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles in the cerebral cortex. The diagnosis of dementia, along with the prediction of who will develop dementia, has been assisted by magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography (PET) by using [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). These techniques, however, are not specific for AD. Based on the chemistry of histologic staining dyes, several Aβ-specific positron-emitting radiotracers have been developed to image neuropathology of AD. Among these, [11C]PiB is the most studied Aβ-binding PET radiopharmaceutical in the world. The histologic and biochemical specificity of PiB binding across different regions of the AD brain was demonstrated by showing a direct correlation between Aβ-containing amyloid plaques and in vivo [11C]PiB retention measured by PET imaging. Because 11C is not ideal for commercialization, several 18F-labeled tracers have been developed. At this time, [18F]3′-F-PiB (Flutemetamol), 18F-AV-45 (Florbetapir), and 18F-AV-1 (Florbetaben) are undergoing extensive phase II and III clinical trials. This article provides a brief review of the amyloid biology and chemistry of Aβ-specific 11C and 18F-PET radiopharmaceuticals. Clinical trials have clearly documented that PET radiopharmaceuticals capable of assessing Aβ content in vivo in the brains of AD subjects and subjects with mild cognitive impairment will be important as diagnostic agents to detect in vivo amyloid brain pathology. In addition, PET amyloid imaging will also help test the amyloid cascade hypothesis of AD and as an aid to assess the efficacy of antiamyloid therapeutics currently under development in clinical trials.

old clip

Novo Nordisk recently announced the company has submitted the regulatory application to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for its turoctocog alfa (NN7008) for prevention and treatment of bleeding in people with hemophilia A.

The decision for submission was based on results from the guardian trials consisting of over 200 people with hemophilia A, making guardian the largest pre-registration clinical trial program for hemophilia A. The trials contained previously treated adults and children with severe hemophilia A.

Turoctocog alfa is a third-generation recombinant coagulation factor VIII drug, designed to increase reliability, safety and portability for patients with hemophilia A.

“We are very excited about having reached this goal. Turoctocog alfa represents a new treatment alternative for people with hemophilia A and is one of the first important outcomes of the hemophilia research strategy we embarked upon in 2006,” Mads Krogsgaard Thomsen, executive vice president and chief science officer of Novo Nordisk said in a news release.

The company said that in the next few months, it plans to submit applications for regulatory approval in other countries as well.

Hemophilia A is estimated to affect 500,000 people worldwide, and is extremely under-diagnosed in developing countries.

On 19 September 2013, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use(CHMP) adopted a positive opinion, recommending the granting of a marketing authorisation for the medicinal product NovoEight 250, 500, 100, 1500, 2000 or 3000 IU, powder and solvent for solution for injection, intended for the treatment and prophylaxis of bleeding in patients with haemophilia A (congenital factor-VIII deficiency).The applicant for this medicinal product is Novonordisk. It may request are-examination of the CHMP opinion, provided it notifies the European Medicines Agency in writing of its intention within 15 days of receipt of the opinion.

The active substance of NovoEight is turoctocog alfa, human recombinant factor VIII that enables the temporary substitution of the endogenous coagulation factor VIII in haemophilia A patients. The benefits with NovoEight are its ability to prevent and treat the bleeds in previously treated patients with severe haemophilia A. The most common side effects are increase in hepatic enzymes and injection-site reaction.

A pharmacovigilance plan for NovoEight will be implemented as part of themarketing authorisation.

The approved indication is:

Treatment and prophylaxis of bleeding in patients with haemophilia A (congenital factor-VIII deficiency).

It is proposed that NovoEight be prescribed by physicians experienced in the treatment of haemophilia A. It is proposed that treatment should be initiated under the supervision of a doctor experienced in the treatment of haemophilia.

Detailed recommendations for the use of this product will be described in thesummary of product characteristics (SmPC), which will be published in the European public assessment report (EPAR) and made available in all official European Union languages after the marketing authorisation has been granted by the European Commission.

The CHMP, on the basis of quality, safety and efficacy data submitted, considers there to be a favourable benefit-to-risk balance for NovoEight and therefore recommends the granting of the marketing authorisation.
