Macitentan is achiral
Macitentan is a crystalline powder that is insoluble in water. In the solid state macitentan is very stable, is not hygroscopic, and is not light sensitive.
Macitentan (Opsumit® )is a novel dual endothelin receptor antagonist that resulted from a tailored drug discovery process. Macitentan has a number of potentially key beneficial characteristics – i.e., increased in vivo preclinical efficacy vs. existing ERAs resulting from sustained receptor binding and tissue penetration properties. A clinical pharmacology program indicated a low propensity of macitentan for drug-drug interactions.
Macitentan (ACT-064992) is a tissue-targeting dual ET(A)/ET(B) endothelin (ET) receptor antagonist designed for tissue targeting. Macitentan inhibited ET-1-induced contractions in isolated endothelium-denuded rat aorta (ET(A) receptors) and sarafotoxin S6c-induced contractions in isolated rat trachea (ET(B) receptors). In diabetic rats, chronic administration of macitentan decreased blood pressure and proteinuria and prevented end-organ damage. Treatment with macitentan enhanced the cytotoxicity mediated by paclitaxel as measured by the degree of apoptosis in tumor cells and tumor-associated endothelial cells. A Phase III clinical trial of macitentan was successfully completed in 2012.


Macitentan is an investigational drug being studied for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. It acts as a dualendothelin receptor antagonist and is being developed by Actelion.[1] A Phase III clinical trial was successfully completed in 2012.[2]
on 22 October 2012 – Actelion (SIX: ATLN) announced that it has submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeking approval for macitentan (Opsumit®) for the treatment of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension
Actelion’s experimental lung drug macitentan prolonged overall survival by more than a third according to detailed study data, which the company hopes will convince investors it has a viable follow-up product to secure its commercial future.
Europe’s largest standalone biotech company wants the drug, which treats pulmonary arterial hypertension — a disease that causes high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs — to replace blockbuster Tracleer.
Tracleer currently makes up 87 percent of sales but loses patent protection in 2015 and has also seen its market share eroded by Gilead’s Letairis.

Macitentan has an active metabolite, ACT-132577, which is an oxidative depropylation product. Both macitentan and ACT-132577 are mainly excreted in form of hydrolysis products via urine (about 2/3 of all metabolites) and faeces (1/3).[3]
Co-administration of ciclosporin has only a slight effect on the concentrations of macitentan and its active metabolite, whilerifampicin decreases the area under the curve (AUC) of the drug’s blood plasma concentration by 79%, and ketoconazoleapproximately doubles it. This corresponds to the finding that macitentan is mainly metabolised via the liver enzyme CYP3A4.[4]

SYNTHESIS
The synthesis begins with the reaction of chlorosulfonyl isocyanate (1) (dissolved in dichloromethane at 0 ° C) with one equivalent of tert-butanol. This produces a by BOC protected Aminosulfonylchlorid (2). With one equivalent of n-propylamine (dissolved in 3 eq. Of triethylamine, dichloromethane, at 0 ° C, RT 16 h) is produced by a hydrochloric acid elimination BOC-protected sulfamide (3). This is dissolved in 5 M HCl and dioxane (4-8 h), the BOC protecting group is cleaved. The sulfamide formed (4) is potassium tert-butoxide-(dissolved in MeOH, 3h) is converted to the potassium salt (5). Tert-butoxide potassium acts as a very strong base for deprotonation. This sulfamide potassium salt reacts with the nucleophilic substituents on the heteroaromatic Dichlorpyrimidinderivat (6) (dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide, at room temperature, RT 42-72 h) under KCl-cleavage to a Monochlorpyrimidin intermediate (7). By treatment with ethylene glycol (dissolved in dimethyl ether, potassium-tert-butoxide,), the ethylene glycol side chain is generated (8). With 2-chloro-5-bromo-pyrimidine (dissolved in tetrahydrofuran, close, at 60-75 ° C) is formed under elimination of HCl in an S N 1 reaction Macitentan (9)…………Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 55, 2012 S. 7849-7861, doi : 10.1021 / jm3009103 .

PAPER
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jm3009103

Starting from the structure of bosentan (1), we embarked on a medicinal chemistry program aiming at the identification of novel potent dual endothelin receptor antagonists with high oral efficacy. This led to the discovery of a novel series of alkyl sulfamide substituted pyrimidines. Among these, compound 17 (macitentan, ACT-064992) emerged as particularly interesting as it is a potent inhibitor of ETA with significant affinity for the ETB receptor and shows excellent pharmacokinetic properties and high in vivo efficacy in hypertensive Dahl salt-sensitive rats. Compound 17 successfully completed a long-term phase III clinical trial for pulmonary arterial hypertension

BENAZEPRIL HYDROCHLORIDE, CAS NO 86541-74-4
Benazepril, brand name Lotensin (Novartis), is a medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), congestive heart failure, and chronic renal failure. Upon cleavage of its ester group by the liver, benazepril is converted into its active form benazeprilat, a non-sulfhydryl angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor.
Benazepril is available as oral tablets, in 5-, 10-, 20-, and 40-mg doses.
Benazepril is also available in combination with hydrochlorothiazide, under the trade name Lotensin HCT, and with amlodipine(trade name Lotrel).

Most commonly, headaches and cough can occur with its use. Anaphylaxis, angioedema and hyperkalemia, the elevation of potassium levels, can also occur.
Benazepril may cause harm to the fetus during pregnancy.
| “ | ACE inhibitors can pose a potential threat to kidneys as well. The key question was whether damaged kidneys would worsen if patients took ACE inhibitors. In a nutshell, concerns centered on blood levels of potassium andcreatinine, waste products that are excreted by the kidneys. Testing creatinine levels in the blood is used as a way to monitor kidney function (…) kidney problems worsened more slowly in those taking Lotensin. Overall, there were no major differences in side effects between patients taking Lotensin or the placebo.[2] | ” |
This study marks the first indication that benazepril, and perhaps other ACE inhibitors, may actually be beneficial in the treatment of hypertension in patients with kidney disease.
The Benazepril hydrochloride, with the CAS registry number 86541-74-4, is also known as (3S)-3-(((1S)-1-Carboxy-3-phenylpropyl)amino)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2-oxo-1H-1-benzazepine-1-acetic acid, 3-ethyl ester, monohydrochloride; Benazepril HCl; Cibacen; Cibacen CHF; Labopol. It belongs to the product categories of Intermediates & Fine Chemicals; Pharmaceuticals; Amines; Aromatics; Heterocycles. This chemical’s molecular formula is C24H29ClN2O5 and molecular weight is 460.96. What’s more, its IUPAC name 2-[(3S)-3-[[(2S)-1-ethoxy-1-oxo-4-phenylbutan-2-yl]amino]-2-oxo-4,5-dihydro-3H-1-benzazepin-1-yl]acetic acid hydrochloride. In addition, Benazepril hydrochloride (CAS 86541-74-4) is crystalline solid which is soluble in DMSO. It is used in high blood pressure and congestive heart failure. When you are using this chemical, you should not breathe dust and avoid contact with skin and eyes.

| The reaction of 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-(1)benzazepin-2-one (I) with PCl5 in hot xylene gives 3,3-dichloro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-(1)benzazepin-2-one (II), which is treated with sodium acetate and reduced with H2 over Pd/C in acetic acid yielding 3-chloro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-(1)benzazepin-2-one (III). The reaction of (III) with sodium azide in DMSO affords 3-azido-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-(1)benzazepin-2-one (IV), which is condensed with benzyl bromoacetate (V) by means of NaH in DMF giving 3-azido-1-(benzyloxycarbonylmethyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-(1)benzazepin-2-one (VI). The treatment of (VI) with Raney-Ni in ethanol-water yields 3-amino-1-(benzyloxycarbonylmethyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-(1)benzazepin-2-one (VII), which is debenzylated by hydrogenation with H2 over Pd/C in ethanol affording 3-amino-1-(carboxymethyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-(1)benzazepin-2-one (VIII). Finally, this compound is condensed with ethyl 3-benzylpyruvate (IX) by means of sodium cyanoborohydride in methanol acetic acid. | |

| A new synthesis of CGS-14824A is given: The reaction of 3-bromo-1-phenylpropane (I) with KCN gives 4-phenylbutyronitrile (II), which is hydrolyzed to the corresponding butyric acid (III). The cyclization of (III) with polyphosphoric acid affords 1-tetralone (IV), which is brominated to 2-bromo-1-tetralone (V) and treated with hydroxylamine to give the oxime (VI). The Beckman rearrangement of (VI) yields 3-bromo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-(1)benzazepin-2-one (VII), which is treated with sodium azide to afford the azide derivative (VIII). The N-alkylation of (VIII) with ethyl bromoacetate (IX) by means of KOH and tetrabutylammonium bromide in THF gives the N-alkylated azide (X), which is reduced by catalytic hydrogenation to the corresponding amine (XI). The hydrolysis of the ester group of (XI) with NaOH yields the free acetic acid derivative (XII), which is finally reductocondensed with ethyl 2-oxo-4-phenylbutyrate (XIII) by means of sodium cyanoborohydride. | |

Sanofi Provides Update on Lixisenatide New Drug Application in U.S.
Paris, France – September 12, 2013 – Sanofi (EURONEXT: SAN and NYSE: SNY) announced today its decision to withdraw the lixisenatide New Drug Application (NDA) in the U.S., which included early interim results from the ongoing ELIXA cardiovascular (CV) outcomes study. The company plans to resubmit the NDA in 2015, after completion of the ELIXA CV study.
The decision to withdraw the lixisenatide application follows discussions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding its proposed process for the review of interim data. Sanofi believes that potential public disclosure of early interim data, even with safeguards, could potentially compromise the integrity of the ongoing ELIXA study. Sanofi’s decision is not related to safety issues or deficiencies in the NDA………………………read all at

WEDNESDAY, September 11, 2013 — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved a new use for Botox Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe lateral canthal lines, known as crow’s feet, in adults. Botox Cosmetic is the only FDA approved drug treatment option for lateral canthal lines.
The FDA approved Botox Cosmetic in 2002 for the temporary improvement of glabellar lines (wrinkles between the eyebrows, known as frown lines), in adults. Botox Cosmetic works by keeping muscles from tightening so wrinkles are less prominent

BOTOX Cosmetic (onabotulinum toxin A) For Injection, is a sterile, vacuum-dried purifiedbotulinum toxin type A, produced from fermentation of Hall strain Clostridium botulinumtype A grown in a medium containing casein hydrolysate, glucose, and yeast extract, intended for intramuscular use. It is purified from the culture solution by dialysis and a series of acid precipitations to a complex consisting of the neurotoxin, and several accessory proteins. The complex is dissolved in sterile sodium chloride solution containing Albumin Human and is sterile filtered (0.2 microns) prior to filling and vacuum-drying.
The primary release procedure for BOTOX Cosmetic uses a cell-based potency assay to determine the potency relative to a reference standard. The assay is specific to Allergan’s products BOTOX and BOTOX Cosmetic. One Unit of BOTOX Cosmetic corresponds to the calculated median intraperitoneal lethal dose (LD50) in mice. Due to specific details of this assay such as the vehicle, dilution scheme and laboratory protocols, Units of biological activity of BOTOX Cosmetic cannot be compared to nor converted into Units of any other botulinum toxin or any toxin assessed with any other specific assay method. The specific activity of BOTOX Cosmetic is approximately 20 Units/nanogram of neurotoxin protein complex.
Each vial of BOTOX Cosmetic contains either 50 Units of Clostridium botulinum type A neurotoxin complex, 0.25 mg of Albumin Human, and 0.45 mg of sodium chloride; or 100 Units of Clostridium botulinum type A neurotoxin complex, 0.5 mg of Albumin Human, and 0.9 mg of sodium chloride in a sterile, vacuum-dried form without a preservative.
Since the approval of BOTOX® Cosmetic by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2002, Allergan has virtually changed the face of medical aesthetics. Men and women between the ages of 18 to 65 now have the ability to choose science-based, non-invasive medical aesthetic solutions, including BOTOX® Cosmetic and the JUVÉDERM® family of dermal fillers, to achieve their own results. Over the last seven years, there have been nearly 11.8 million BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments recorded in the United States.1 More importantly, its 97 percent satisfaction rating (survey of 117 patients)2,3 is just one indication of the trust consumers have placed in Allergan.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, non-surgical procedure for temporarily reducing the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines – the vertical frown lines between the eyebrows that look like an “11” – in adult women and men aged 18 to 65. BOTOX® Cosmetic reduces the activity of the muscles that cause the “11s” to form by blocking nerve impulses that trigger wrinkle-causing muscle contractions, creating an improved appearance between the brows. Results can last up to four months and may vary with each patient. Ask your doctor if BOTOX® Cosmetic is right for you.

Stem cells are undifferentiated biological cells, that can differentiate into specialized cells and can divide (through mitosis) to produce more stem cells. They are found in multicellular organisms. In mammals, there are two broad types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells, which are isolated from the inner cell mass of blastocysts, and adult stem cells, which are found in various tissues. In adult organisms, stem cells and progenitor cells act as a repair system for the body, replenishing adult tissues. In a developing embryo, stem cells can differentiate into all the specialized cells—ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm (see induced pluripotent stem cells)—but also maintain the normal turnover of regenerative organs, such as blood, skin, or intestinal tissues.
There are three accessible sources of autologous adult stem cells in humans:
Stem cells can also be taken from umbilical cord blood just after birth. Of all stem cell types, autologous harvesting involves the least risk. By definition, autologous cells are obtained from one’s own body, just as one may bank his or her own blood for elective surgical procedures.
Highly plastic adult stem cells are routinely used in medical therapies, for example in bone marrow transplantation. Stem cells can now be artificially grown and transformed (differentiated) into specialized cell types with characteristics consistent with cells of various tissues such as muscles or nerves through cell culture. Embryonic cell lines and autologous embryonic stem cells generated through therapeutic cloning have also been proposed as promising candidates for future therapies. Research into stem cells grew out of findings by Ernest A. McCulloch and James E. Till at the University of Toronto in the 1960s
……………
Medical researchers believe that stem cell therapy has the potential to dramatically change the treatment of human disease. A number of adult stem cell therapies already exist, particularly bone marrow transplants that are used to treat leukemia. In the future, medical researchers anticipate being able to use technologies derived from stem cell research to treat a wider variety of diseases including cancer, Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injuries, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, and muscle damage, amongst a number of other impairments and conditions. However, there still exists a great deal of social and scientific uncertainty surrounding stem cell research, which could possibly be overcome through public debate and future research, and further education of the public.
One concern of treatment is the risk that transplanted stem cells could form tumors and become cancerous if cell division continues uncontrollably.
Stem cells are widely studied, for their potential therapeutic use and for their inherent interest.
Supporters of embryonic stem cell research argue that such research should be pursued because the resultant treatments could have significant medical potential. It has been proposed that surplus embryos created for in vitro fertilization could be donated with consent and used for the research.
The recent development of iPS cells has been called a bypass of the legal controversy. Laws limiting the destruction of human embryos have been credited for being the reason for development of iPS cells, but it is still not completely clear whether hiPS cells are equivalent to hES cells. Recent work demonstrates hotspots of aberrant epigenomic reprogramming in hiPS cells (Lister, R., et al., 2011).
Pluripotent, embryonic stem cells originate as inner cell mass (ICM) cells within a blastocyst. These stem cells can become any tissue in the body, excluding a placenta. Only cells from an earlier stage of the embryo, known as the morula, are totipotent, able to become all tissues in the body and the extraembryonic placenta
