Ahmedabad, India, February 23, 2017

Zydus Cadila, a research-driven, global healthcare provider, today announced that the USFDA has approved the group’s plans to initiate a Phase 2 clinical trial of Saroglitazar Magnesium (Mg) in patients with Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) of the liver. This randomized, double-blind Phase 2 trial will evaluate Saroglitazar Magnesium 2mg and 4 mg Vs. Placebo.
Speaking on the development, Mr. Pankaj R. Patel, Chairman and Managing Director, Zydus Cadila said, “We are very thankful to the USFDA for their timely and useful feedback on the clinical trial designs of Saroglitazar Mg in patients with Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC). This development underlines our commitment to bridging unmet healthcare needs with innovative therapies.”
Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) is a liver disease, caused due to progressive destruction of the bile ducts in the liver which leads to reduction of bile flow – a condition referred to as cholestasis. PBC is often discovered incidentally due to abnormal results on routine liver blood tests. Progression of PBC leads to symptoms of cirrhosis like yellowing of the skin, swelling of legs and feet (edema), ascites, internal bleeding (varices) and thinning of the bones (osteoporosis). The buildup of toxic bile in the liver leads to liver inflammation and fibrosis which can progress to cirrhosis. People with cirrhosis are at increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma or liver cancer, which is a leading cause of liver transplants or death.
With an increasing number of people being affected by PBC which can lead to progressive cholestasis and even turn fatal, there is a pressing need to develop therapies which help to achieve an adequate reduction in alkaline phosphotase (ALP) or bilirubin and bring in better tolerance and efficacy.

Polymorphic form of pyrrole derivative and intermediate thereof
The present invention relates to Saroglitazar free acid of Formula (IA) or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, pharmaceutically acceptable solvates, pharmaceutically acceptable esters, stereoisomers, tautomers, analogs and derivs. thereof. The present invention also provides an amorphous form of saroglitazar free acid and processes of prepn. thereof. The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compn. comprising an amorphous form saroglitazar magnesium.
Amorphous forms of saroglitazar free acid and its salt form are claimed. Also claims the process for the synthesis the same compound. Useful for treating obesity, hyperlipidemia and hypercholesteremia. Picks up from WO2015011730, claiming the stable composition comprising saroglitazar magnesium or its derivatives. Zydus-Cadila has developed and launched saroglitazar for treating diabetic dyslipidemia and hypertriglyceridemia.
In September 2013, saroglitazar was launched for treating dyslipidemia and hypertriglyceridemia.
As of March 2015, Zydus-Cadila is developing saroglitazar for treating nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and type II diabetes (both in phase III clainical trials).

Pyrrole derivative of present invention is chemically 2-ethoxy-3-(4-(2-(2-methyl- 5-(4-(methylthio)phenyl)-lH-pyrrol-l-yl)ethoxy)ph’enyl)propanoate, which may be optically active or racemic and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrates, solvates, polymorphs or intermediates thereof. The INN name for pyrrole derivative is Saroglitazar® which is magnesium salt of pyrrole compound o f saroglitazar,
the process comprising: 5WO 2015/029066 PCT/IN2014/000551 (a) dissolving saroglitazar magnesium of Formula (I) in one or more organic solvents to obtain a solution, (b) adding the solution in one or more o f anti-solvent at temperature from about -80°C to about 150°C to obtain saroglitazar magnesium o f Formula (I); and (c) obtaining the amorphous saroglitazar magnesium by removal of anti-solvent.
Example-1: Preparation of saroglitazar magnesium (Ί) In a 5 Liter three necked round bottom flask equipped with nitrogen atmosphere facility, mechanical stirrer, thermometer and an addition funnel, 2-ethoxy-3-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)- propionic acid ethyl ester (A) (100.0 g) and cyclohexane (1300.0 ml) were charged and reaction mixture was heated to 45° to 55°C. Potassium carbonate (58.0 g) was added and stirred for 30 min. methanesulfonic acid 2-[2-methyl-5-(4-methyIsulfanyl-phenyl)-pyrroll-yl]-ethyl ester (A l) (150.24 g) and THF (200.0 ml) were added and heated to 75°C to 85°C for 36 hour. The reaction mixture was cooled to 25° to 35°C and water (1000.0 ml) was added and stirred for 15 min. The separated aqueous layer was treated with cyclohexane (200.0 ml) and stirred for 15 min. The organic layers were combined and washed with caustic solution (600.0 ml). The separated organic layer was washed with water (600.0 ml) and characoalized with (5.0 g) charcoal and stirred for 30 min and filtered. The filtrate was distilled to remove cyclohexane and the residue was collected (residue-A). The residue-A as obtained was treated with ethanol (400.0 ml) and stirred for 15 min. Sodium hydroxide 20.14 g solution in water (200.0 ml) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (1800.0 ml) and stirred for 15 min. The separated aqueous layer was washed with n-butyl acetate. The separated aqueous layer was added magnesium acetate tetrahydrate solution (90.0 g) in water (100.0 ml) and stirred for I hour. The aqueous layer was extracted with methylene dichloride (200 ml). The separated organic layer was washed with sodium chloride solution and charcoalized. The charcoalized solution was filtered and filtrate was distilled to remove methylene dichloride completely. The residue was diluted with methylene dichloride (1000 ml) and stirred for 30 min. The organic solution was added into n-heptane (1500 mL) and stirred for 3 hours. The product was filtered and washed with n-heptane and dried in vacuum tray dryer at 25°C to 30°C for 3 hours. The product was sieved through 0.5 mm sieve and milled through jet-milled. The product was further dried in vacuum tray drier at 40°C to 50°C for 6 hours followed by drying at 55°C to 65°C for 40 hours to obtain substantially amorphous saroglitazar magnesium (I). The compound is characterized by x-ray power diffraction (FIG.I).
