thyroid hormone beta receptor agonist, 4G7Z7KQ8GV 

Simedeutirom is a selective, synthetic, deuterium-labeled thyroid hormone receptor beta (THR-β) agonist. It features a novel cyclopentadd𝑑pyridazine core and is primarily utilized as a specialized tool compound in the biochemical research of metabolic diseases, including obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and related metabolic disorders. 

Core Structural & Pharmacological Profile

  • Target Selectivity: It functions as a potent agonist specifically targeting the thyroid hormone receptor beta (THR-β), with an half-maximal effective concentration (EC₅₀) ranging between 0.1 to 1 μM. THR-β activation plays a foundational role in modulating hepatic lipid metabolism, lowering cholesterol, and regulating overall energy expenditure without heavily triggering the alpha receptor (THR-α), which is associated with adverse cardiac side effects. 
  • Deuterium Labeling: The compound incorporates deuterium (a stable isotope of hydrogen) into its chemical architecture, specifically modified as a trideuteriomethyl group. Isotopic modification or “deuteration” is an established medicinal chemistry approach frequently evaluated to slow metabolic clearance and increase structural stability. 
  • Chemical Identifiers:
    • Molecular Formula: C₁₈H₁₂Cl₂N₆O₄
    • Molecular Weight: 450.25 g/mol
    • CAS Registry Number: 2403721-24-2
    • FDA UNII Code: 4G7Z7KQ8GV 

Research Context & Status

Simedeutirom is categorized under the International Nonproprietary Name (INN) database. However, it is fundamentally classified for in vitro and in vivo research use only. It has not been approved for clinical therapeutic use or direct distribution to patients.

 4.62 kg of compound a was completely dissolved in 25.0 L of glacial acetic acid and added to a 100 L reaction kettle, 3300 g of benzoic anhydride was added, and the mixture was reacted at room temperature for about 4 hours with stirring turned on. The reaction was monitored by TLC (n-hexane/ethyl acetate=5/1) until compound a disappeared, then 2722 g of anhydrous sodium acetate was additionally added and the temperature was increased to 120° C. for a reaction under stirring for about 18 hours.
      The reaction solution was cooled to 60-65° C., and concentrated under reduced pressure to remove most of the acetic acid. After the concentration was completed, 10 L of anhydrous ethanol was added to the residue and uniformly mixed. Then the mixed solution was slowly added to 250 L of water, while maintaining the rapid stirring, and a large amount of solid precipitated during the addition, and stirring was continued for about 0.5 hours after the addition, followed by centrifugation. The filter cake was washed with purified water (20 L×2) to give compound b in 100% yield, which went directly to the next step.

The discovery and development of new drugs is a long and expensive process, and despite of it, essential to face present and new diseases. For small molecules, which account for the majority of the marketed drugs, the discovery process generally involves finding a starting point termed hit or lead compound. These molecules have biological activity but need to be optimized to enhance their potency and selectivity (i.e. minimize the toxicity) and improve pharmacokinetic parameters making them suitable to go to the next stage, the pre-clinical tests……….http://mappingignorance.org/2014/07/04/lead-oriented-synthesis-new-concept-aid-drug-discovery-process/

Logistics of process R&D: transforming laboratory methods to manufacturing scale

Hans-Jürgen Federsel

In the past, process R&D — which is responsible for producing candidate drugs in the required quantity and of the requisite quality — has had a low profile, and many people outside the field remain unaware of the challenges involved. However, in recent years, the increasing pressure to achieve shorter times to market, the demand for considerable quantities of candidate drugs early in development, and the higher structural complexity — and therefore greater cost — of the target compounds, have increased awareness of the importance of process R&D. Here, I discuss the role of process R&D, using a range of real-life examples, with the aim of facilitating integration with other parts of the drug discovery pipeline.

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

John Knight

John Knight

Dr John Knight gained a first class honours degree in chemistry at the University of Southampton, UK. John remained at Southampton to study for his PhD in synthetic methodology utilizing radical cyclisation and dipolar cyloaddition chemistry.

After gaining his PhD, John moved to Columbia University, New York, USA where he worked as a NATO Postdoctoral Fellow with Professor Gilbert Stork. John returned to the UK in 1987 joining Glaxo Group Research (now GSK) as a medicinal chemist, where he remained for 4 years before moving to the process research and development department at Glaxo, where he remained for a further 3½ years.

During his time at Glaxo, John worked on a number of projects and gained considerable plant experience (pilot and manufacturing). In 1994 John moved to Oxford Asymmetry (later changing its name to Evotec and most recently to Aptuit) when it had just 25 staff. John’s major role when first at Oxford Asymmetry was to work with a consultant project manager to design, build and commission a small pilot plant, whilst in parallel developing the chemistry PRD effort at Oxford Asymmetry.

The plant was fully operational within 18 months, operating to a 24h/7d shift pattern. John continued to run the pilot plant for a further 3 years, during which time he had considerable input into the design of a second plant, which was completed and commissioned in 2000. After an 18-month period at a small pharmaceutical company, John returned to Oxford in 2000 (by now called Evotec) to head the PRD department. John remained in this position for 6.5 years, during which time he assisted in its expansion, established a team to perform polymorph and salt screening studies and established and maintained high standards of development expertise across the department.

John has managed the chemical development and transfer of numerous NCE’s into the plant for clients and been involved in process validations. He joined Scientific Update in January 2008 as Scientific Director.

John Knight

Dr John Knight gained a first class honours degree in chemistry at the University of Southampton, UK. John remained at Southampton to study for his PhD in synthetic methodology utilizing radical cyclisation and dipolar cyloaddition chemistry.

After gaining his PhD, John moved to Columbia University, New York, USA where he worked as a NATO Postdoctoral Fellow with Professor Gilbert Stork. John returned to the UK in 1987 joining Glaxo Group Research (now GSK) as a medicinal chemist, where he remained for 4 years before moving to the process research and development department at Glaxo, where he remained for a further 3½ years.

During his time at Glaxo, John worked on a number of projects and gained considerable plant experience (pilot and manufacturing). In 1994 John moved to Oxford Asymmetry (later changing its name to Evotec and most recently to Aptuit) when it had just 25 staff. John’s major role when first at Oxford Asymmetry was to work with a consultant project manager to design, build and commission a small pilot plant, whilst in parallel developing the chemistry PRD effort at Oxford Asymmetry.

The plant was fully operational within 18 months, operating to a 24h/7d shift pattern. John continued to run the pilot plant for a further 3 years, during which time he had considerable input into the design of a second plant, which was completed and commissioned in 2000. After an 18-month period at a small pharmaceutical company, John returned to Oxford in 2000 (by now called Evotec) to head the PRD department. John remained in this position for 6.5 years, during which time he assisted in its expansion, established a team to perform polymorph and salt screening studies and established and maintained high standards of development expertise across the department.

John has managed the chemical development and transfer of numerous NCE’s into the plant for clients and been involved in process validations. He joined Scientific Update in January 2008 as Scientific Director.
