SAR443122, was investigated in several clinical trials to evaluate its safety and efficacy. NCT04469621 was studied in severe COVID-19 patients, while NCT05588843 is currently recruiting participants with ulcerative colitis. Additionally, NCT04781816, which was completed with results, focused on patients with cutaneous lupus erythematosus.
Eclitasertib is an orally bioavailable, small-molecule inhibitor of receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1; receptor-interacting protein 1; RIP1), with potential anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities. Upon oral administration, eclitasertib disrupts RIPK1-mediated signaling, and may attenuate inflammation and the resulting tissue damage. RIPK1, a signaling protein in the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor pathway, plays a key role in inflammation and cell death in response to tissue damage and pathogen recognition.

49] Example 7. Synthesis of 3β-acetoxy-androst-5-ene-17,17-ethylenedioxy: A 300L reactor was charged with 36 kg of triethylorthoformate, 20 kg of 3β-acetoxy-5-androsten-17-one, 12.6 kg of ethylene glycol and 400 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid. The mixture was heated to reflux under nitrogen until the reaction was complete (about 2-3 hours). The mixture was then cooled to 60 0C and 16 kg of anhydrous ethanol and 400 ml of pyridine were added. The resulting solution was transferred to a container and refrigerated overnight. The solids that formed were filtered and washed with 80 kg of 50% ethanol and dried at 40-50 0C to afford 18.5-21.0 kg (81.5-92.5%) of the title compound. [50] Example 8. Synthesis of 3β-acetoxy-androst-5-en-7-one-17,17-ethylenedioxy: A 500 L reactor was charged with 200 kg ethyl acetate and 25 kg of 3β-acetoxy-androst-5-en-17,17-ethylenedioxy. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes whereupon 55 kg of 70% t-butyl peroxide and 9 kg of sodium bicarbonate were added. The reaction mixture was then cooled to 0 0C and 116 kg of 13% sodium perchlorate (aq.) was added over 10 hours so that a reaction temperature below 5 0C and pH between 7.5 and 8.5 were maintained. After the reaction was complete, the organic layer was separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (35 kg x 2). The combined organic phase was combined with a solution 33 kg of sodium sulfite in 167 kg of water, and the resulting mixture was stirred at 40 0C for 3 hours. The organic phase was washed with 50 kg of brine and concentrated to 55-60 kg whereupon 50 kg of methanol was added. After refrigeration overnight, a white solid was formed that was filtered and washed with 10 kg of methanol, and dried at 40-50 0C to yield 7.1-7.8 kg (27.4-30.1%) of the title compound.
[51] Example 9. Synthesis of 3β-acetoxy-androst-5-ene-17,17-ethylenedioxy-7β-ol. A 500 L reactor was charged with 48 kg of THF, 10 kg of 3β-acetoxy-androst-5-en-7-one-17,17-ethylenedioxy and a solution of 9.6 kg CeCI3-7H2O in 95 kg methanol. This mixture was cooled to 0 0C whereupon 2.0 kg of NaBH4 was added in batches over 3 hours in order to maintain the temperature below 5 0C. After stirring for 30 more minutes, 28 kg of acetone was added slowly in order to maintain the temperature below 5 0C, with stirring continued for another 30 minutes. To the mixture was added 240 kg water with stirring continued for 1 hour. The organic solvents were removed under vacuum and the residue was extracted with ethyl acetate (100 kg + 50 kg). The combined organic phase was washed with brine. Solvent was then removed to provide 8.6-8.9 kg (85.1-88.1 %) of the title compound. [52] Example 10. Synthesis of 3β-acetoxy-androst-5-en-17-one-7β-ol: A 500 L reactor was charged with 315 kg of acetone and 18 kg of 3β-acetoxy-androst-5-en-17,17-ethylenedioxy-7β-ol. The mixture was cooled to 5 0C and 2.34 kg of p-toluenesulfonic acid was added slowly to maintain the temperature below 10 0C. After stirring the mixture at 8-15 0C for 36-48 hours, 3.0 kg of sodium bicarbonate was added with stirring continued for 1 hour. Acetone was removed under vacuum, and to the residue was added 100 kg of water. The mixture was placed in a refrigerator overnight to give a white precipitate which was filtered to provide 33 kg (wet) of the title compound.
[53] Example 11. Synthesis of androst-5-en-17-one-3β,7β-diol: A 500 L reactor was charged 230 kg methanol, 33 kg (wet) 3β-acetoxy-7β-hydroxy-5-androsten-17-one, 108 kg water and 15 kg NaaCOβ. The mixture was heated to reflux for 3 hours. Methanol was removed under vacuum whereupon 250 kg of water was added to the residue. The mixture was put in refrigerator overnight to give a precipitate. The solids were collected by filtration, then washed with water and dried at 40-50 0C to yield 9.5-10.5 kg (67.9-75.0%) of the title compound as a white solid.
[54] Example 12. Purification of androst-5-en-17-one-3β,7β-diol: A 500 L reactor was charged with 20 kg crude 3β, 7β-dihydroxyandrost-5-en-17-one and 200 kg methanol and heated until all the solid dissolved. The solution was filtered while hot and after the filtrate cooled a white crystalline solid formed. The solids were collected by filtration, washed with small amount of methanol and dried at 40-50 0C. The solid was then refluxed in 50 kg of ethyl acetate for 20 minutes. After cooling the solid was filtered and dried at 40-50 0C under vacuum to provide 15.2 kg (76%) of purified title compound.
[55] Example 13. Synthesis of 3β,7β-bis-(trimethylsiloxy)-5-androsten-17-one: A mixture of 14.87 Kg of androst-5-en-17-one-3β,7β-diol, 23.8 Kg HMDS and 0.7 Kg saccharin catalyst in 100 L acetonitrile was heated to reflux for 8 hours with stirring under a nitrogen atmosphere. Liberated ammonia was purged under slight vacuum. The reaction volume was then reduced by distillation to collect 3OL of distillate (requires about 2 h). The reaction volume was further reduced to half of the original reaction volume by distillation under reduced pressure (700 mmHg), which requires about 2h of heating at 50 0C. The resulting uniform thick slurry is cooled to 5 0C (requires about 3 h), with additional acetonitrile added to maintain a minimum mixing volume, and held at that temperature for 1. The precipitated product was collected by filtration and dried at 45-50 0C under vacuum (29 mmHg) to a loss on drying (LOD) of not more than 1 % (requires 20 h) to provide 16 Kg (81 % yield) of the title compound (95% purity). [56] Example 14. Synthesis of 17α-ethynyl-5-androstene-3β,7β,17β-triol: To 11.02 Kg TMS-acetylene in 56.5 L tetrahydrofuran (THF) at -27 0C under a nitrogen atmosphere was added 8.51 L 10M n-BuLi. The n-butyl lithium was added very slowly to maintain a temperature at -7 to -27 0C (requires about 2 h) and the resulting reaction was stirred 10 min. at approximately 0°C to produce TMS-lithium-acetylide. To the TMS-lithium-acetylide solution was added a solution of 25.41 Kg of 3β,7β-bis-(trimethylsiloxy)-5-androsten-17-one in 95.3 L THF filtered through a 25 μm filter while allowing the reaction temperature to rise to 20-25 0C. After addition was completed, the reaction temperature was increased to 40-45 0C. To quench the reactor contents, 31.8 L of methanol was added over a period of about 1 h followed by 3.81 Kg KOH in 18.4 L of water giving a final reactor temperature of 50 0C. Liberated acetylene is purged under slight vacuum. The reactor contents were then concentrated by distillation at 80 0C for 1 h then under vacuum (175 mmHg) at about 70 0C (with an initial temperature of 25 0C to avoid bumping) to half of the original pot volume. The residue was cooled to about 10 0C and 35.0 Kg of deionized water was added, followed by 16.4 Kg 12N HCI while maintaining a pot temperature of about 10 0C and giving a final pH of 1. Additional 26.0 kg deionized water was added and the resulting mixture was stirred at about 5 0C for 1 h. The resulting slurry was filtered and washed with 75/25 mixture of methanol/water (16.9 L methanol, 5.6 L water). The collected solids were dried under vacuum (28 in Hg) at 45 0C for 12h for a loss on drying of no more than 0.5% to provide 9.6 Kg of the title compound (83% yield).
[57] Example 15. Recrystallization of 17α-ethynyl-5-androstene-3β,7β,17β-triol: Crude 9.6 Kg 17α-ethynyl-5-androstene-3β,7β,17β-triol prepared in
Example 14 was dissolved in refluxing 50/50 methanol/water (4.2 Kg methanol and 5.4 Kg water). To the solution was added 33.4 Kg methanol followed by 37.6 Kg of THF. The mixture was heated to reflux and stirring was continued until all solids have dissolved, whereupon 99.8 Kg of deionized water was added while maintaining a reactor temperature of 60-75 0C. The mixture was cooled to 0-5 0C over a period of 2 h and maintain at that temperature for 1 h while stirring was continued. The solids were recovered by filtration, washed with 9.6 Kg cold 50/50 methanol water and dried under vacuum (28 in Hg) at 50 0C for 8 h to provide 8.2 Kg of 17α-ethynyl-5-androstene-3β,7β,17β-triol. This first recrystallization is used to remove trace colored impurities from the initial product. A second recrystallization was conducted by heating the solid from the first recrystallization in ~10:1 methanohwater (145.8 Kg methanol and 18.2 Kg of water) to 80°C until all the solids have dissolved. The solution at 55-60 0C was filtered through a 25 μm filter to remove particulate impurities, whereupon 2.5 Kg of methanol at 55-60 0C (used to rinse the reactor) was added. Vacuum distillation at 125 mmHg at 70 0C was conducted until 0.9 to 1.2 times the volume of methanol that was added to the reactor was collected as distillate with water added as necessary to permit stirring (about 120-160 Kg water added). Final reaction volume was 200-225 L. The reactor mixture was cooled to 0-5 0C and maintained at that temperature for 1 h. The resulting slurry was filtered and the filter cake rinsed with 10 Kg deionized water and dried under vacuum (28 in Hg) at 50 0C for 12 h to a residual water content of less than 0.5%. This isolation procedure was used to reduce the THF content in the final product. The yield was 8.0 Kg of recrystallized title compound (83% yield).

Synthesis of 3β-acetoxy-androst-5-en-7-on-17-oxime: 3β-Acetoxy-androst-5-en-7,17-dione (45 g, 130 mmol) was dissolved in 800 ml_ methanol, 200 ml_ dichloromethane and 14.5g Et3N (144 mmol). To the solution at RT was added a solution of 10 g of hydroxylamine hydrochloride dissolved in 200 ml_ methanol. After stirring overnight, 200 ml_ of water was added followed by removal of volatile organics by evaporation under reduced pressure. To the resulting residue was added an additional 1 L of water to give a while solid that was filtered and washed well with water. Obtained was 45 g of crude title oxime in 95% purity by 1H-NMR, which was used in the next step without further purification.
[60] Example 17. Synthesis of 3β-acetoxy-androst-5-en-17-oxime-7β-ol: To a solution of 44 g of 3β-acetoxy-androst-5-en-7-on-17-oxime (100 mol%) in 800 ml_ methanol and 200 ml_ tetrahydrofuran was added 50 g of cerium chloride heptahydrate (110 mol%) in 20 ml_ of methanol. The resulting mixture was stirred until the solids were completely dissolved. To the solution cooled to about -5 0C was added 7 g sodium borohydride over 30 min. After stirring an additional 1.5 h at -5 0C, the reaction mixture was quenched with acetone (100 mL) and then allowed to warm to room temperature over a 30 min. period. The quenched reaction mixture was concentrated under vacuum to remove volatile organics. To the residue was added 800 mL of water followed by extraction with ethyl acetate (3 x 500 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, then concentrated to provide 42 g of the title compound as a white foam, which was used in the next step without further purification.. [61] Example 18. 3β-acetoxy-androst-5-en-17-one-7β-ol: To a solution of 42 g of 3β-acetoxy-androst-5-en-17-oxime-7β-ol (100 mol%) in 200 mL of ethanol was added 100 mL of water followed by 80 g (400 mol%) of sodium dithionite. The reaction was heated at 55 0C and stirred 16 h. After cooling, the reaction was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with 100 mL of water, and the resulting solid was collected by filtration and redissolved in 1 L dichloromethane. To the DCM solution was added 1 g activated carbon. After stirring overnight the mixture was filtered, and the resulting filtrate was washed with water, dried and concentrated to provide 25 g of crude product. Recrystallization from ethyl acetate gave 22g of the title compound. [62] Example 19. Estrogen receptor binding assay: A suitable example system is an estrogen receptor- kit manufactured by PanVera for ERβ, which contains recombinant estrogen receptor β ligand, FLUORMONE™ ES2 (ES2), a fluorescently labeled estrogen ligand, and appropriate buffer. The system was used in a fluorescence polarization competition assay in which a test article, such as a preparation of Compound 1 or a positive control displaces ES2 from its binding site. When bound to ERβ, ES2 tumbles slowly and has a high fluorescence polarization value. Unbound ES2 tumbles quickly and displays a low fluorescence polarization value. The change in polarization value in the presence of test compound then determines relative binding affinity of that test compound for ERβ as expressed by its IC50, which is the concentration of test compound that results in half-maximum shift in polarization. From IC50, K/ was calculated using the Cheng-Prusoff equation [Biochem. Pharmacol. 22: 3099-3108, (1973)]: K, = IC50Z(I + D/Kd) where D is the concentration of ES2 and Kd is the dissociation constant for binding of ES2 to ERβ (Kd = 4 ± 2 nM).
[63] The competition assay was conducted according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Lit. No. L0712, Rev. 10/03). Assay reagents used were bacculovirus expressed, full length human ERβ 4.5 pmol/μL in 50 mM Bis-Tris Propane (pH = 9), 400 mM KCI, 2 mM DTT, 1 mM EDTA, 10% glycerol, ES2 400 nM in methanol and E2 screening buffer consisting of 100 mM potassium phosphate (pH = 7.4), 100 μg/mL BGG, 0.02% NaN3. The ES2-ERβ complex was formed with 20 μL 20 nM ERβ (0.020 pmol/μL) and 20 μl_ 2 nM ES2 (0.002 pmol/μL). Positive control (estrogen) solution was prepared using 20 μL of a 1.0 mM stock solution in DMSO and 80 μL DMSO. In a first dilution, 50 μL of this solution is added to 50 μL of DMSO, which is followed by dilutions in 2-fold increments, to provide for a 14 point dilution curve. In a second dilution, to 4 μL of each DMSO solution from the first dilution is added 400 μL of ES2 screening buffer. To 20 μL of test compound, serially diluted in the manner described immediately above, in a 384 well black flat bottom microtiter plate, was added 20 μL of the ES2-ERβ complex (0.5% final DMSO concentration) followed by incubation in the dark at 20-30 0C for 1-4 h. Test compound was treated similarly except the starting concentration was 10 mM. Fluorescence polarization values are obtained using 485 nm excitation and 530 nm emission interference filters. Binding assay for ERa was conducted as for ERβ except bacculovirus expressed, full length human 2.8 pmol/μL ERa was used as reagent with the ERα-ES2 complex formed from 20 μL 30 nM (0.030 pmol/μL) and 20 μL 2 nM ES2 (0.002 pmol/μL).

After separation, both enantiomers were further purified by semi preparative HPLC (5-60%
CH3CN/H20 with 0.1% TFA (trifluoroacetic acid) over 30 min). The combined fractions were lyophilized to give the title compounds as the TFA salt.
SCHEME

Bexicaserin (INNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name; developmental code names LP352 and AN352) is a selective serotonin 5-HT2C receptor agonist which is under development for the treatment of seizures in developmental disabilities such as Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.[1][3][2] It is taken by mouth.[2][1]
The drug is highly selective for the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor, with negligible affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT2B receptors.[2] Because it does not activate the serotonin 5-HT2B receptor, bexicaserin is not expected to pose a risk of cardiac valvulopathy, unlike the existing agent fenfluramine.[2]
As of October 2024, bexicaserin is in phase 3 clinical trials for treatment of developmental disabilities.[1][3] It is being developed by Longboard Pharmaceuticals.[1][3]
The activation of 5HT2c receptors has been shown to reduce epileptic seizure activity by inhibiting CaV3 calcium channels which mediate the T-type calcium current.[4] CaV3 calcium channels facilitate high frequency burst firing in princible neurons of the subiculum. This firing pattern is upregulated following status epilepticus, with these hyperactive neurons often serving as the initiation point for seizures.[5][6][7]

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is an infectious disease that targets the liver resulting in either an acute infection, with symptoms arising in 45 to 160 days, or a chronic infection, which 350 million people worldwide are affected by. Estimates indicate that 600,000 deaths occur each year as a result of consequences related to HBV infection. HBV possesses a 3.2- kb relaxed circular DNA (rcDNA) genome that is used to form covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) in a host cell. The cccDNA is then transcribed by RNA polymerase II, a host DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, to produce pregenomic RNA (pgRNA). The pgRNA is then used by the virally encoded reverse transcriptase to form rcDNA. The goals of current treatments for chronic HBV infections are to reduce HBV replication and reduce liver damage.
Current treatments for chronic HBV infections include pegylated alpha interferon and nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). NRTIs are converted to their corresponding 5 ‘-triphosphate, or diphosphate in the case of phosphonate containing NRTIs, and reduce viral replication by inhibiting the HBV encoded polymerase. Clevudine is an NRTI that is no longer being developed for the treatment of chronic HBV because of drug-related skeletal myopathy that was a result of mitochondrial dysfunction in patients.
Interestingly, clevudine triphosphate has been shown to be a competitive nonsubstrate inhibitor of the HBV encoded polymerase, and due to its long intracellular half-life, is able to suppress HBV replication for an extended period of time after drug withdrawal.
The discovery and synthesis of the (S,S) and (S,R) diastereomers of clevudine phosphoramidate has been previously reported. These studies were undertaken to address the myopathy concerns associated with clevudine. The phosphoramidate moiety was utilized to deliver clevudine, as its 5 ‘-monophosphate, to the liver reducing 1) systemic exposure to clevudine and 2) the possibility of skeletal myopathy. Both phosphoramidates showed anti-HBV activity similar to clevudine with the (S,S) diastereomer being slightly more potent.

EXAMPLE 11 :
[0374] Preparation of intermediate ATI-2173 from Compound-10.
[0375] Experimental Procedure
[0376] (H-l) Crude Compound-10 in THF (see Example 10) was divided into three aliquots and stirred with 2% HC1 aq. solution at pH 5-6, 4-5, and 3-4; for 16 h at 20-25 °C; the aliquots were combined and stirred at 15-20 °C for 72 h, with no degradation of ATI-2173 observed over the second time period;
[0377] (H-2) the pH of the mixture was adjusted to 7 with 7% NaHCCh;
[0378] (H-3) phase separation was carried out using 2-MeTHF, the organic phase was washed with NA2SO4 aqueous soltion, then concentrated to 1-3 V, and MTBE (5 V) was added; this operation was repeated twice;
[0379] (H-5) ATI-2173 was precipitated gradually upon addition of seed crystal and addition of n-heptane (5 V);
[0380] (H-6) the product was filtered; and
[0381] (H-7) the wetcake was dried, resulting in ATI-2173 in 99.73a% purity and
84.4% yield.
[0382] EXAMPLE 12:
[0383] Crystallization of ATI-2173
[0384] Initial studies examined the use of single or mixed solvent systems to crystalize the amorphous product, ATI-2173. Several solvent conditions were screened, including single solvent and mixed solvent systems, in order to determine the potential for obtaining a crystalline material from the amorphous material. None of the solvents tested worked and all conditions produced an oil product. The results are shown below in Tables 8 and 9.

AMD-070 is a small molecule drug candidate that belongs to a new investigational class of anti-HIV drugs known as entry (fusion) inhibitors. Approximately 76% of HIV-patients with measurable viral load are infected with a strain of virus that is resistant to one or more classes of antiretroviral agents, thus reducing treatment options. Unlike many existing HIV drugs that target the virus after it has infected a healthy cell, AMD-070 blocks the virus from entering a healthy cell, thus preventing the replication process. AMD-070 targets the CXCR4 receptor on HIV and prevents the virus from entering and infecting healthy cells. AMD-070 is specific for the CXCR4 receptor and does not interact with any other chemokine receptors in vitro. AMD-070 strongly inhibits viral infection by all CXCR4 using virus (including virus using CXCR4 alone and/or virus using CXCR4 and CCR5) in vitro. AMD-070 is orally bioavailable in animals, it has suitable PK and toxicity profile for oral dosing. AMD-070 shows additive or synergistic effects in vitro in combination with other known anti-HIV agents. AMD-070 is active against CXCR4 using HIV strains that are resistant to existing antiretroviral therapies in vitro, reveals potent anti-HIV activity against CXCR4-using laboratory strains and clinical isolates. MD-070 had been in phase II clinical trials by Genzyme for the treatment of HIV infection. However, this research has been discontinued. AMD-070 has been studied in Phase I/II clinical trials for the treatment of Renal cell carcinoma and Phase I clinical trials for the treatment of malignant melanoma and solid tumours.

A novel and practical synthesis of mavorixafor (1) is reported. The novelty of this synthetic route is the use of 8-chloro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline (9) and 1,4-diaminobutane as the materials, instead of 8-amino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline (4) and N,N-diprotected aminobutyraldehyde (6a or 6b). The preparation of (S)-8-(4-aminobutylamino)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline (13) by resolution with N-acetyl-l-leucine was first achieved. Then the one-pot synthesis of 1 from 13 involving protection, condensation, and subsequent hydrolysis was successfully developed. In addition, the final product with a satisfactory purity (>99.5%, detected by both achiral and chiral HPLC) was obtained by a simple operation (salification) without column chromatographic purification.

Type-1 angiotensin II receptor
Forasartan, otherwise known as the compound SC-52458, is a nonpeptide angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ARB, AT1 receptor blocker).[2][3][4][5]
Forasartan, a specific angiotensin II antagonist, is used alone or with other antihypertensive agents to treat hypertension. Forasartan competes with angiotensin II for binding at the AT1 receptor subtype. As angiotensin II is a vasoconstrictor which also stimulates the synthesis and release of aldosterone, blockage of its effects results in a decreases in systemic vascular resistance.
Indications
Forasartan is indicated for the treatment of hypertension[6] and, similar to other ARBs, it protects the kidneys from kidney blood vessel damage caused by increased kidney blood pressure by blocking renin–angiotensin system activation.[7]
Administration
Forasartan is administered in the active oral form [6] which means that it must go through first pass metabolism in the liver. The dose administered ranges between 150 mg-200 mg daily.[6] Increasing to more than 200 mg daily does not offer significantly greater AT1 receptor inhibition.[6] Forasartan is absorbed quickly in the GI, and within an hour it becomes significantly biologically active.[6] Peak plasma concentrations of the drug are reached within one hour.[6]
Contraindications
Negative side effects of Forasartan are similar to other ARBs, and include hypotension and hyperkalemia.[8] There are no drug interactions identified with forasartan.[6]

Pharmacology
The angiotensin II receptor, type 1
Angiotensin II binds to AT1 receptors, increases contraction of vascular smooth muscle, and stimulates aldosterone resulting in sodium reabsorption and increase in blood volume.[9] Smooth muscle contraction occurs due to increased calcium influx through the L-type calcium channels in smooth muscle cells during the plateau component, increasing the intracellular calcium and membrane potential which sustain depolarization and contraction.[10]
Effects
Forasartan is a competitive and reversible ARB that competes with the angiotensin II binding site on AT1[11] and relaxes vascular smooth muscle,[10] resulting in decreased blood pressure. Forasartan has a high affinity for the AT1 receptor (IC50=2.9 +/- 0.1nM).[12] In dogs, it was found to block the pressor response of Angiotensin II with maximal inhibition, 91%.[10] Forasartan administration selectively inhibits L-type calcium channels in the plateau component of the smooth muscle cells, favoring relaxation of the smooth muscle.[10] Forasartan also decreases heart rate by inhibiting the positive chronotropic effect of high frequency preganglionic stimuli.[13]
Scarce use
Even though experiments have been conducted on rabbits,[6] guinea pigs,[10] dogs [14] and humans,[6][13] forasartan is not a popular drug of choice for hypertension due to its short duration of action; forasartan is less effective than losartan.[6] Research demonstrates that forasartan is also significantly less potent than losartan.[6]

ZYIL1 is expected to show benefit in patients with CAPS. The present study aims to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of ZYIL1 when administered to subjects with CAPS.This is a phase 2a, prospective, open-label study. Primary objective of the study is to determine safety and tolerability profile of twice daily oral administration of ZYIL1 administered for 7 days. The study will be conducted in 3 subjects having CAPS as per eligibility criteria. The study will be divided in three periods: Screening Period; Run-in Period and Study Period.
Zydus announces positive Phase 2 Proof-of-Concept of NLRP3 inhibitor, ZYIL1 in patients with Cryopyrin Associated Periodic Syndrome (CAPS)
First Phase 2 Proof-of-Concept (POC) study demonstrating rapid clinical improvement and remission within days when Cryopyrin Associated Periodic Syndrome (CAPS) patients with flare ups were treated with ZYIL1, a novel oral small molecule NLRP3 inhibitor
Phase 1 study in Healthy Human volunteers published in “Clinical Pharmacology in Drug Development” Journal of American College of Clinical Pharmacology
AHMEDABAD, India I September 07, 2022 I Zydus Lifesciences Ltd. (formerly known as Cadila Healthcare Ltd.), a discovery-driven, global lifesciences company today announced that it has achieved a positive Proof-of-Concept in its Phase 2 clinical study of ZYIL1, in patients with CAPS.
CAPS is a rare, life-long, auto-inflammatory condition, caused by NLRP3 activating mutations and is classified as an orphan disease. The chronic inflammation due to IL-1beta release in CAPS patients leads to urticaria-like rash, fever, arthralgia, and increased risk of amyloidosis. CAPS patients also experience multiple neurological complications like sensorineural hearing loss, migraine, headache, aseptic meningitis and myalgia. Bone deformities and neurological impairments have been reported in Neonatal Onset Multisystem Inflammatory Disease (NOMID), the most severe form of CAPS.
The Phase 2 trial conducted in Australia, evaluated the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of ZYIL1 in Subjects with Cryopyrin Associated Periodic Syndromes (CAPS) [ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05186051]. ZYIL1 showed rapid oral absorption. ZYIL1 is extremely potent (IC50 in nanomolar range) in human whole blood and supressed inflammation caused by the NLRP3 inflammasome. Robust effect on disease biomarkers including CRP, Serum Amyloid A (SAA), IL-6, WBC, was also observed.
ZYIL1 was safe and well-tolerated and there were no Serious Adverse Events (SAE’s) observed in this Phase 2 trial. Liver and kidney function tests also did not show any abnormalities in this Phase 2 trial. CAPS patients with confirmed NLRP3 mutation suffering from CAPS-related flare up, when treated with ZYIL1 in Phase 2 Proof-of-Concept trial showed rapid clinical improvement as early as day 3 which sustained till the end of treatment.
Lauding the positive proof-of-concept results achieved in CAPS patients as a significant milestone, Mr. Pankaj R. Patel, Chairman, Zydus Lifesciences Ltd. said, “As an innovation driven organization, we have been focussed on making a meaningful difference in the lives of patients. This top-line result from the Phase 2 clinical trial has demonstrated for the first time that ZYIL1, an oral small molecule NLRP3 inhibitor is beneficial in treating chronic inflammation in CAPS patients. Zydus is now planning to conduct further pivotal clinical trials and is committed to develop ZYIL1 for patients living with CAPS and other chronic inflammatory diseases.”
