ALOGLIPTIN

Alogliptin is a potent, selective inhibitor of DPP-4 with IC50 of <10 nM, exhibits greater than 10,000-fold selectivity over DPP-8 and DPP-9.

Alogliptin (trade name Nesina in the US^[1] and Vipidia in Europe^[2]) is an orally administered anti-diabetic drug in the DPP-4 inhibitor class,^[3] developed by Syrrx, a company which was acquired by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company in 2005. Like other medications for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes, alogliptin does not decrease the risk of heart attack and stroke. Like other members of the gliptin class, it causes little or no weight gain, exhibits relatively little risk of causing hypoglycemia, and exhibits relatively modest glucose-lowering activity. Alogliptin and other gliptins are commonly used in combination with metformin in patients whose diabetes cannot adequately be controlled with metformin alone.^[4]

Clinical study

Alogliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP-4i) that is designed to slow the inactivation of incretin hormones GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide). ^[5]

A randomized clinical trial reporting in 2011 aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of alogliptin versus placebo and vogliboseamong newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetes patients in Japan. The main outcome indicated that alogliptin was statistically superior to both comparitors.^[6]

A randomized clinical trial reporting in 2012 aimed to demonstrate that alogliptin was “non-inferior” to a “very low fat/calorie traditional Japanese diet” among newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetes patients in Japan. The outcome indicated that both the drug and dietary treatments comparably impacted indicators of the diabetic condition, such as HbA1c levels and glycemic efficacy. The drug treatment had its impact without changing body mass index (BMI), but the dietary treatment was accompanied by a significant reduction in the BMI.^[7]

A randomized clinical trial reporting in 2011 aimed to demonstrate the efficacy of alogliptin as an add-on agent in combination withmetformin and pioglitazone versus simply increasing the dosage of pioglitazone in combination with metformin; in other words, this was a study to look at a three-agent therapy versus a two-agent therapy. The outcome of this study suggested that the addition of alogliptin to metformin and pioglitazone provided superior impact on diabetes biomarkers (e.g. HbA1c) than increasing the dose of pioglitazone in a two agent therapy with metformin.^[8]

Reported adverse events

Adverse events appear to be restricted to mild hypoglycemia based on clinical studies.^[6]^[7]^[8]

Alogliptin is not associated with increased weight, increased risk of cardiovasular events, or heart failure.^[9]^[10]

Market access

In December 2007, Takeda submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) for alogliptin to the United States Food and Drug Adminiistration (USFDA),^[11] after positive results from Phase III clinical trials.^[1] In September of 2008, the company also filed for approval in Japan,^[12] winning approval in April 2010.^[11] The company also filed a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) elsewhere outside the United States, which was withdrawn in June 2009 needing more data.^[12] The first USFDA NDA failed to gain approval and was followed by a pair of NDAs (one for alogliptin and a second for a combination of alogliptin and pioglitazone) in July 2011.^[11] In 2012, Takeda received a negative response from the USFDA on both of these NDAs, citing a need for additional data.^[11]

In 2013 the FDA approved the drug in three formulations: As a stand-alone with the brand-name Nesina. Combined with metforminusing the name Kazano, and when combined with pioglitazone as Oseni.

Diabetes affects millions of people worldwide and is considered one of the main threats to human health in the 21^st century. In 2006, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that over 180 million people worldwide had diabetes, and the number is projected to double by 2030. Over time, uncontrolled diabetes can damage body systems, including the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys and nerves. According to the WHO, approximately 1.1 million people died from diabetes in 2005, and it is estimated that diabetes-related deaths will increase by more than 50% in the next decade. Globally, the socioeconomic burden of diabetes is substantial.

There are two main types of diabetes, designated type 1 and type 2, with type 2 diabetes accounting for over 90% of all diabetes cases globally. Type 1 diabetes is characterized by insulin deficiency, primarily caused by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic islet β-cells, and type 2 diabetes is characterized by abnormal insulin secretion and concomitant insulin resistance. To prevent the development of ketoacidosis, people with type 1 diabetes must take exogenous insulin for survival. Although those with type 2 diabetes are not dependent on exogenous insulin as much as subjects with type 1 diabetes, they may require exogenous insulin to control blood glucose levels.

As diabetes has become a global health concern, research interest in the condition has rapidly increased. In addition to studies on prevention, many studies with the aim of developing new interventions for the treatment of diabetes, especially type 2 diabetes, have been conducted. Currently available medications for the treatment and management of type 2 diabetes include metformin, sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones and insulin. However, these therapies are commonly associated with secondary failure and may cause hypoglycemia. Insulin resistance and progressively worsening hyperglycemia caused by reduced β-cell function are major challenges in managing type 2 diabetes. Evidence suggests that patients with insulin resistance do not develop hyperglycemia until their β-cells are unable to produce enough insulin. New agents that can enhance insulin secretion from islet β-cells in a sustained glucose-dependent manner could therefore hold promise for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

One promising approach is based on inhibition of the serine protease dipeptidyl- peptidase IV (DPP IV), a postproline dipeptidyl aminopeptidase that belongs to the S9b peptidase family of proteolytic enzymes. It is known that DPP IV plays a key role in maintaining glucose homeostasis by controlling the incretin activity of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-I) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP, also known as gastric inhibitory polypeptide). Inhibition of DPP IV is therefore recognized as a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Recently, a series of DPP IV inhibitors were developed. Among these highly potent compounds, alogliptin benzoate (SYR-322) and its analogs demonstrated encouraging antidiabetic efficacy (EP 1586571 (WO 2005/095381); WO 2008/067465; WO 2007/035379, and US 2004/097510).

Alogliptin benzoate can be prepared as described in EP 1586571 (WO 2005/095381) according to the process set forth in Scheme 1 :

Scheme 1

In accordance with this process, 6-Chlorouracil (1) is alkylated with 2- (bromomethyl)benzonitrile in the presence of NaH and LiBr in a mixture of DMF- DMSO to produce the TV-benzyluracil derivative (2) in 54% yield. Compound (2) is further alkylated with iodomethane and NaH in DMF/THF to give the 1 ,3 disubstituted uracil (3) in 72% yield. Subsequent displacement of chlorouracil (IV) with 3(R)- aminopiperidine dihydrochloride in the presence of either NaHCO₃ in hot methanol or K₂CO₃ in aqueous isopropanol provides alogliptin (4), which is isolated as the corresponding benzoate salt by treatment with benzoic acid in ethanol. The overall yield of this three-stage process is -20-25%. One of the disadvantages of above described process is the difficulty to separate and purify mixtures of solvents with high boiling point (for example, DMF/DMSO) for recycling. Another disadvantage is the usage of hazardous materials such as sodium hydride, which requires anhydrous solvents as a reaction media.

Intermediate 2-((6-chloro-3-methyl-2,4-dioxo-3 ,4-dihydropyrimidin- 1 (2H)-yl)methyl) benzonitrile (3) is alternatively obtained by alkylation of 6-chloro-3 methyluracil with 2-(bromomethyl)benzonitrile by means of diisopropylethylamine in hot NMP (WO 2007/035629). Although this process is more technological than the previously described process (EP 1586571), the overall yield is still moderate (50-55%). The problem of mixed solvents (toluene, NMP, diisopropylethylamine) separation persists for this process as well.

Gemigliptin (rINN), previously identified as LC15-0444, is an oral anti-hyperglycemic agent (anti-diabetic drug) of the new dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor class of drugs.^[1] It is well known that glucose lowering effects of DPP-4 inhibitors are mainly mediated by GLP-1 and gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) incretin hormones which are inactivated by DPP-4.

Gemigliptin was initially developed solely by LG Life Sciences. In 2010, Double-Crane Pharmaceutical Co. (DCPC) joined with LGLS to co-develop the final compound and collaborate on the marketing of the drug in China. LGLS also announced on Nov., 2010 that NOBEL Ilac has been granted rights to develop and commercialize gemigliptin in Turkey.

Gemigliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase IV (CD26; DPP-IV; DP-IV) inhibitor, is currently undergoing phase III clinical trials at LG Life Sciences as an oral treatment for type II diabetes. The company is also testing the compound in phase II/III clinical studies for the treatment of patients with cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury.

DPP IV inhibitors have glucose-lowering effects mediated by GLP-1 incretin hormone which is inactivated by DPP IV. In 2010, gemigliptin was licensed to Beijing Double-Crane Pharmaceutical by LG Life Sciences for distribution and supply in China for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

A New Drug Application (NDA) for gemigliptin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes was submitted to the Korea Food & Drug Administration (KFDA) in July 2011. Then on June 27, 2012, the KFDA has approved the manufacture and distribution of LG Life Sciences’ diabetes treatment, Zemiglo, the main substance of which is gemigliptin. Clinical trials for evaluating the safety and efficacy of gemigliptin in combination with metformin have been completed.

…………

Efficient synthesis of gemigliptin, a potent and selective DPP-4 inhibitor for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, has been developed. Gemigliptin were prepared from two key API starting materials, DP18 and DP57, in 75~80% yield and >99% purity over three steps under the GMP control: coupling, deprotection of N-Boc group, and final crystallization with L-tartaric acid. All steps were conducted in the same solvent system and the intermediates were isolated by simple filtration without distillation of solvent. The established process was validated obviously through the three consecutive batches for a commercial production.

History

The NDA for gemigliptin was submitted to KFDA in July, 2011 and it was approved on June 27, 2012. By the end of 2012, gemigliptin will be marketed in Korea as Zemiglo which is the fifth new DPP-4 inhibitor diabetes treatment in the world.

Mechanism of action

DPP-4 is a serine protease located on the cell surfaces throughout the body. In plasma, DPP-4 enzyme rapidly inactivates incretins including GLP-1 and GIP which are produced in the intestine depending on the blood glucose level and contribute to the physiological regulation of glucose homeostatis. Active GLP-1 and GIP increase the production and release of insulin by pancreatinc beta cells. GLP-1 also reduces the scretion of glucacon by pancreatic alpha cells, thereby resulting in a decreased hepatic glucose production. However these incretins are rapidly cleaved by DPP-4 and their effects last only for a few minutes. DPP-4 inhibitors block the cleavage of the gliptins and thus lead to an increasee insulin level and a reduced glucagon level in a glucose-dependent way. This results in a decrease of fasting and postprandial glycemia, as well as HbA1c levels.^[2]

Preclinical studies

Gemigliptin is a competitive, reversible DPP-4 inhibitor (IC50 = 16 nM) with excellent selectivity over other critical human proteases such as DPP-2, DPP-8, DPP-9, elastase,trypsin, urokinase and cathepsin G. Gemigliptin was rapidly absorbed after single oral dosing and the compound was eliminated with a half-life of 3.6 h, 5.2 h, and 5.4 h in the rat, dog, and monkey, respectively.

The bioavailability of gemigliptin in the rat, dog, and monkey was species-dependent with the values of 94%, 73%, and 26%, respectively. Following the oral administration of gemigliptin in the rat, dog and monkey, about 80% inhibition of plasma DPP-4 activity were observed at the plasma levels of 18 nM, 14 nM and 4 nM, respectively.

In the diet-induced obese (DIO) mice, gemigliptin reduced glucose excursion during OGTT in a dose dependent manner with the minimum effective dose of 0.3 mg/kg and enhanced glucose-stimulated plasma GLP-1 increase in a dose dependent manner reaching the maximum effect at the dose of 1 mg/kg.

Following 4 week oral repeat dosing in the DIO mice, gemigliptin reduced significantly HbA1c with the minimum effective dose of 3 mg/kg. In the beagle dog, gemigliptin significantly enhanced active GLP-1, decreased glucagon, and reduced glucose excursion during OGTT following a single dosing.

Studies on animals suggest its positive effect on hepatic and renal fibrosis .^[3]^[4] Data on human patients are still inconclusive .^[5]

Clinical studies

The dose-range finding phase 2 study was performed and 145 patients (91men and 54 women) with type 2 diabetes mellitus were enrolled. All three doses (50,100 and 200 mg groups) of gemigliptin significantly reduced the HbA_1c from baseline compared to the placebo group without a significant difference between the doses.

Subjects with a higher baseline HbA_1c (≥8.5%) had a greater reduction in HbA_1c. Insulin secretory function, as assessed using homeostasis model assessment-beta cell, C-peptide and the insulinogenic index, improved significantly with gemigliptin treatment. Insulin sensitivity, as assessed using homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance, also improved significantly after 12 weeks of treatment.

The 50 and 200 mg groups had significantly reduced total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels at 12 weeks compared to the placebo group.

The incidences of adverse events were similar in all study subjects. Gemigliptin monotherapy (50 mg for 12 weeks) improved the HbA_1c, FPG level, oral glucose tolerance testresults, β-cell function and insulin sensitivity measures, and was well tolerated in subjects with type 2 diabetes.

Results of Phase 3 clinical trials which have been finished recently will be updated near future.

Economic syntheses of sitagliptin phosphate monohydrate, acknowledged as the first dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, have been achieved in an overall yield of 42.4% in four steps from 1-{3-(trifluoromethyl)-5,6-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrazin-7(8H)-yl}-4-(2,4,5-trifluorophenyl)butane-1,3-dione. The key stereoselective reduction of this process was carried out by NaBH₄/HCOOH instead of expensive and toxic catalysts or ligands.

The present invention relates to a novel method of preparing sitagliptin, and intermediates used therein. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Sitagliptin phosphate is a selective inhibitor of the second generation dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-4) and used to maintain the systemic concentration of incretin hormone at an optimum level. Sitagliptin phosphate monohydrate was approved in October 2006 by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an adjuvant in dietetics or kinesiatrics for treatment of patients with type-2 diabetes and it is marketed in the United States and Korea under the trade name of JANUVIA™ (as a single agent).

Various methods for preparing sitagliptin and sitagliptin phosphate have been developed. For example, International Patent Publication WO 2003/004498 discloses a method of introducing a chiral-amine group using a chiral pyrazine derivative and to prepare sitagliptin by Arndt-Eistert Homologation using t-butoxylcarbonylamino-4-(2,4,5-trifluorophenyl)-butyric acid as a sitagliptin intermediate, as shown in Reaction Scheme 1.

SITAGLIPTIN……………..

GREENING UP DRUGS Merck process chemists redesigned and significantly shortened the original synthesis of type 2 diabetes drug candidate sitagliptin (Januvia) to include an unprecedented efficient hydrogenation of an unprotected enamine.

MERCK was selected for the award in the greener synthetic pathways category for revising the synthesis for sitagliptin, a chiral β-amino acid derivative that is the active ingredient in Januvia, the company’s pending new treatment for type 2 diabetes. The breakthrough leading to the new synthesis was the discovery that the amino group of the key enamine intermediate doesn’t need to be protected prior to enantioselective catalytic hydrogenation of the double bond.

This development has solved a long-standing problem in the synthesis of β-amino acid derivatives, which are known for their pharmacological properties and are commonly used as chiral building blocks, noted Karl B. Hansen, a Merck process chemist involved with the synthetic effort. The outcome has been to slash the number of reaction steps in the sitagliptin synthesis from eight to three, leading to an equally dramatic reduction in the amount of chemicals and solvent needed and the amount of waste generated.

Merck’s first-generation synthesis of sitagliptin involved preparing a β-hydroxy carboxylic acid, which was converted to a protected β-lactam and then coupled to a triazole building block. Deprotecting the resulting intermediate provided the β-amino acid moiety, and sitagliptin was isolated as a phosphoric acid salt.

This synthesis involved a roundabout route involving four steps to introduce the pivotal chiral amino group of sitagliptin. The synthesis worked well to prepare more than 100 kg of the compound for clinical trials, and with modifications it was deemed to be a viable though not very green manufacturing process, Hansen pointed out. For example, the original synthesis required a number of distillations and aqueous extractions to isolate intermediates, leading to a large volume of waste to treat.

“Being environmentally friendly and economically savvy can, and does, go hand-in-hand.”

Merck process chemists recognized that a much more efficient process was possible by synthesizing the β-amino acid portion of the molecule directly from an enamine. But the protection-deprotection of the amine nitrogen with an acyl group during the hydrogenation is difficult on a large scale, and unprotected reactions generally result in lower yields and lower enantiomeric excesses, Hansen said.

Undaunted, the Merck scientists working on the revised synthesis discovered that the amino group could be efficiently introduced by an unprotected hydrogenation using a rhodium catalyst with a ferrocenyl phosphine ligand named Josiphos (C&EN, Sept. 5, 2005, page 40). Merck turned to Solvias, a Swiss company with experience in asymmetric hydrogenations that manufactures Josiphos, as a partner to help speed up the process development.

The new synthesis involves first coupling trifluorophenyl acetic acid and triazole building blocks to form a diketoamide, which in turn is converted to the enamine. This sequence is carried out without isolating intermediates. The enamine is then hydrogenated, sitagliptin is isolated and recrystallized as the phosphoric acid salt, and the rhodium Josiphos catalyst is recovered.

In sum, the revised synthesis increases the overall yield of sitagliptin by nearly 50% and reduces the amount of waste by more than 80%. A key difference is that the original synthesis produced more than 60 L of aqueous waste per kg of product, while the new synthesis completely eliminates aqueous waste. When tallied up, Merck expects these savings will prevent formation of 150,000 metric tons of solid and aqueous process waste over the lifetime of Januvia. Industry analysts speculate that regulatory approval of the drug will come by early next year and that it’s destined to become a top-selling drug.

The novel enamine hydrogenation “is arguably the most efficient means to prepare β-amino acid derivatives,” noted R. P. (Skip) Volante, Merck’s vice president of process research. The company currently is using the procedure to make several other exploratory drug candidates, he added. Overall, the redesigned synthesis of sitagliptin “is a green chemistry solution to the preparation of a challenging synthetic target and is an excellent example of a scientific innovation resulting in benefits to the environment,” Volante said.

A new synthesis of sitagliptin (MK-0431), a DPP-IV inhibitor and potential new treatment for type II diabetes, suitable for the preparation of multi-kilogram quantities is presented. The triazolopyrazine fragment of sitagliptin was prepared in 26% yield over four chemical steps using a synthetic strategy similar to the medicinal chemistry synthesis. Key process developments were made in the first step of this sequence, the addition of hydrazine to chloropyrazine, to ensure its safe operation on a large scale. The beta-amino acid fragment of sitagliptin was prepared by asymmetric reduction of the corresponding beta-ketoester followed by a two-step elaboration to an N-benzyloxy beta-lactam. Hydrolysis of the lactam followed by direct coupling to the triazolopiperazine afforded sitagliptin after cleavage of the N-benzyloxy group and salt formation. The overall yield was 52% over eight steps.

The synthesis of 1 was completed using a four-step through-process (Scheme 4). Lactam 5 or ester 13 was hydrolyzed to amino acid 2bwith LiOH¹⁸ in THF/water by either stirring at room temperature or, in the case of 13, heating to 40 °C. While the benzyloxy group of 2b could be cleaved by hydrogenation and then protected with Boc₂O to prevent side reactions during the coupling to triazole 3, the benzyloxy group of 2b was found to sufficiently protect the amino group to allow the desired amide to be formed. Thus, triazole 3 was coupled to2b at 0 °C using EDC−HCl and N-methylmorpholine (NMM) as base to afford 14in >99% assay yield. Following an aqueous workup, the organic extracts were distilled into ethanol and the solution was subjected to hydrogenation with 10% Pd on carbon. The presence of water in the hydrogenation was found to be crucial to the reaction success; anhydrous solutions of 14 hydrogenated with dry Pd on carbon proceeded only to low levels of conversion to 1, and addition of water to these reductions resulted in restored performance of the catalyst. Following hydrogenation, the catalyst was removed by filtration to provide an ethanol solution of 1. Sitagliptin was isolated in >99.5% purity as its anhydrous phosphoric acid salt by crystallizing from aqueous ethanol.

MORE INFO………

Sitagliptin phosphate monohydrate, a dipeptidyl-peptidase IV inhibitor, is marketed by Merck & Co. for the once-daily oral treatment of type 2 diabetes. The product was first launched in Mexico followed by commercialization in the U.S. The compound has also been filed for approval in the U.S. as adjunct to diet and exercise and in combination with other therapies to improve glycemic control in the treatment of diabetes. In 2007, the product was approved by the European Medicines Evaluation Agency (EMEA) and is currently available in the U.K., Germany and Spain. In 2009, sitagliptin phosphate monohydrate was approved and launched in Japan. The product is also available in Japan for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in combination with alpha-glucosidase inhibitors and in combination therapy with insulin. In 2012, the company filed for approval in Japan for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in patients with severe renal dysfunction, and in 2013 obtained the approval.

Sitagliptin phosphate monohydrate boasts a much lower risk of hypoglycemia than currently available insulin-inducing products due to its novel mechanism of action. MSD KK (formed in 2010 following the merger of Banyu and Schering-Plough KK) and Ono are developing the drug candidate in Japan. In 2008, the compound was licensed to Almirall by Merck Sharp & Dohme for comarketing in Spain for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. In 2010, FAES obtained a comarketing and commercialization license from Merck Sharp & Dohme in Spain for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Januvia (sitagliptin phosphate) is an antihyperglycaemic drug containing an orally active inhibitor of the dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) enzyme. Developed by Merck Sharp & Dohme (MSD), a UK subsidiary of Merck & Co, sitagliptin is used for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus. The drug has proved effective in lowering blood sugar levels of diabetes patients when taken alone or in combination with other oral diabetes medications such as metformin and thiazolidinedione.

Sitagliptin was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in October 2006 and is marketed under the brand name Januvia in the US. Sitagliptin in combination with metformin was approved by the FDA in March 2007 and is marketed as Janumet in the US. In the EU, Januvia was approved in April 2007 and Janumet was approved in July 2008.

Sitagliptin is a triazolopiperazine based inhibitor of DPP-IV, which was discovered by
Merck. It is a potent (IC50= 18 nM) and highly selective over DPP-8 (48000 nM), DPP-9
(>100000 nM) and other isozymes.[16] It enhances the pancreatic β-cell functions, fasting and
post-prandial glycemic control in type 2 diabetic patients. In the crystal structure with DPP-IV,
unlike other substrate-based DPP-IV inhibitors, the binding orientation of the amide carbonyl of
sitagliptin is reversed, i.e. the aromatic trifluorophenyl moiety occupies S1 pocket and the β-
amino amide moiety fits into S2 pockets. The amino group forms a salt bridge and hydrogen
bonding interactions with Glu205 and Glu206, and Tyr662, respectively.The triazolopiperazinemoiety occupies the S2 extended pocket and stacks against Phe357. The exhibited binding
interactions of the trifluoromethyl group with the Arg358 and Ser209 are responsible for its high
selectivity profile. The presence of the trifluoromethyl group in the triazole ring also improves
the oral bioavailability in animal models. Sitagliptin inhibited the plasma DPP-IV up to 80% and
47% at 2 and 24 h, respectively, after a single dose of 25.0 mg in a dose-dependent manner. In a
24-week study, sitagliptin significantly decreased fasting glucose levels and HbA1c levels
(0.8%) at doses of 100 mg q.d. Thus, sitagliptin is well tolerated and body weight neutral. It is
the first DPP-IV inhibitor in the class approved by USFDA in 2006 and is used as either a
monotherapy or in combination with metformin

In the first synthetic approach, the synthesis of sitagliptin was started with the reaction of a Schollkopf reagent 6 with 2,4,5-trifluorobenzyl bromide to afford the compound 7, which was converted to compound 9 via hydrolysis of ester 8. The resulting Boc-protected amino acid 9 was converted to diazoketone 11 through mix anhydride protocol by using diazomethane. The intermediate 11 was converted to desired β-amino acid 12 by sonication in the presence of silver benzoate.[21] The sitagliptin (14) was synthesized by coupling of β-amino acid 12 with triazolopiperazine intermediate 5 followed by Boc deprotection of amino group of 13, and its corresponding hemi fumarate salt was then prepared (Scheme 1).[16]

SYN1

The second approach for synthesis of sitagliptinwas started from asymmetric reduction of β-ketoester 15 using the (S)-BinapRuCl2 complex with a catalytic amount of HBr in methanol followed by hydrolysis afforded the β-hydroxy acid 16. Lactam 17 was synthesized by coupling of 16 with BnONH2 •HCl using N-(3- dimethylaminopropyl)-N-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC), followed by cyclization reaction with diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (DIAD) and PPh3 . [22] Treatment of a catalytic amount of 0.1% NaOH with lactam 17 hydrolyzed and directly afforded the β-amino acid 18. This wascoupled withtriazolopiperazine 5 using EDC•HCl and N-methylmorpholine to provide the N-benzyloxy protected compound 19, which after hydrogenation using Pd/C and by consequent treatment with phosphoric acid provided the phosphate salt of sitagliptin (14) (Scheme 2).

SYN2

The third approach towards the synthesis of sitagliptin is outlined in scheme 3. Meldrum adduct 22 (Hunig’s base salt) was synthesized from trifluorophenylacetic acid 20 by the formation of a mixed anhydride with pivaloyl chloride in the presence of Meldrum’s acid 21, DIPEA and catalytic amount of dimethylamino pyridine (DMAP) in acetonitrile. Treatment of 22 with TFA resulted compound 23. β-keto amide 24 was formed on reaction of 23 with triazolopiperazine 5. β-keto amide 24 on treatment with ammonium acetate in methanol formed a key intermediate, dehydrositagliptin 25 (enamine amide). This intermediate contains the entire structure of sitagliptin 14 except two hydrogen atoms. Thus, sitagliptin 14 was synthesized by enantioselective hydrogenation of dehydrositagliptin 25 in the presence of [Rh(COD)2 OTf] 12,13 and t Bu JOSIPHOS in excellent yield with 95% ee.[23,24]

COSY spectra

The information on the H that are coupling with each other is obtained by looking at the peaks inside the grid. These peaks are usually shown in a contour type format, like height intervals on a map.
In order to see where this information comes from, let’s consider an example shown below, the COSY of ethyl 2-butenoate
First look at the peak marked A in the top left corner. This peak indicates a coupling interaction between the H at 6.9 ppm and the H at 1.8 ppm. This corresponds to the coupling of the CH3 group and the adjacent H on the alkene.
Similarly, the peak marked B indicates a coupling interaction between the H at 4.15 ppm and the H at 1.25 ppm. This corresponds to the coupling of the CH2 and the CH3 in the ethyl group.
Notice that there are a second set of equivalent peaks, also marked A and Bon the other side of the diagonal.

HETCOR spectra

The information on how the H are C are matched is obtained by looking at the peaks inside the grid. Again, these peaks are usually shown in a contour type format, like height intervals on a map.
In order to see where this information comes from, let’s consider an example shown below, the HETCOR of ethyl 2-butenoate.
First look at the peak marked A near the middle of the grid. This peak indicates that the H at 4.1 ppm is attached to the C at 60 ppm. This corresponds to the -OCH2- group.
Similarly, the peak marked B towards the top right in the grid indicates that the H at 1.85 ppm is attached to the C at17 ppm. Since the H is a singlet, we know that this corresponds to the CH3- group attached to the carbonyl in the acid part of the ester and not the CH3- group attached to the -CH2- in the alcohol part of the ester.
Notice that the carbonyl group from the ester has no “match” since it has no H attached in this example.

Trelagliptin-succinate Formula: C22H26FN5O6

SYR-472 is an oral dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitor originated by Takeda. It is in phase III clinical trials for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Diabetes affects 25.8 million people of all ages, or roughly 8.3 percent of the U.S. population.
The World Health Organization predicts that there will be 366 million people worldwide affected by diabetes by the year 2030.
The advent of trelagliptin succinate, a unique once weekly medication for patients with type 2 Diabetes is now the focus of clinical trials and exciting research and development.
Phase III clinical trials of trelagliptin succinate commenced in September 2011, and are estimated to be complete by the second half of 2013.

TRELAGLIPTIN (SYR-472)

Trelagliptin is a novel DPP-4 inhibitor that is being developed by Takeda. In contrast to alogliplitin, which is once a day, trelagliptin is a once-weekly oral agent which should provide patients with a convenient therapeutic alternative and has the potential to improve compliance. Takeda has commenced Phase III trials of trelagliptin in Japan for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes.

Indication (Phase): Japan—Once-weekly oral treatment for type 2 diabetes (Phase III; study expected to be completed in second half of 2013)

trelagliptin succinate

Compound I, A, TRELAGLIPTIN which has the formula:

is a DPP-IV inhibitor that is described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/080,992 filed Mar. 15, 2005 (see Compound 34). Its dosing, administration and biological activities are described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/531,671 filed Sep. 13, 2006. U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/080,992 and Ser. No. 11/531,671 are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature EC.3.4.14.5) (referred herein as “DPP-IV”) is a type II membrane protein and a non-classical serine aminodipeptidase that removes Xaa-Pro dipeptides from the amino terminus (N-terminus) of polypeptides and proteins. DPP-IV is constitutively expressed on epithelial and endothelial cells of a variety of different tissues (e.g., intestine, liver, lung, kidney and placenta), and is also found in body fluids. DPP-IV is also expressed on circulating T-lymphocytes and has been shown to be synonymous with the cell-surface antigen, CD-26. DPP-IV has been implicated in a number of human disease states, including, but are not limit to, diabetes, particularly type II diabetes mellitus, diabetic dislipidemia, conditions of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), conditions of impaired fasting plasma glucose (IFG), metabolic acidosis, ketosis, appetite regulation and obesity; autoimmune diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis; AIDS; and cancers.

DPP-IV inhibitors are believed to be useful agents for the prevention, delay of progression, and/or treatment of conditions mediated by DPP-IV.

Compound (A) or a salt thereof has been reported as an inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP-IV) , which is an enzyme that decomposes glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) , a hormone increasing insulin secretion (patent document 1) .

In addition, a method including administering 1 – 250 mg of compound (A) or a salt thereof to a patient once per week (patent documents 2, 3), crystal polymorphs of compound (A) (patent documents 4, 5) , and a preparation of compound (A)

(patent documents 6, 7) have also been reported. Compound (A) and a salt thereof are recommended for oral administration in view of the easiness of self-administration, and a tablet, particularly a tablet in the dosage form for administration once per week, is desired. [0006]

The dosage form of once per week is expected to improve drug compliance of patients, whereas it requires supply of compound (A) or a salt thereof to patients in a high dose as compared to, for example, the dosage form of once per day. Since a solid preparation containing compound (A) or a salt thereof in a high dose increases its size, it may conversely degrade the drug compliance for patients, particularly infants and elderly patients having difficulty in swallowing

Compound 34 IS TRELAGLIPTIN

4-Fluoro-2-methylbenzonitrile (31).

A mixture of 2-bromo-5-fluorotoluene (3.5 g, 18.5 mmol) and CuCN (2 g, 22 mmol) in DMF (100 mL) was refluxed for 24 hours. The reaction was diluted with water and extracted with hexane. The organics were dried over MgSO₄and the solvent removed to give product 31 (yield 60%). 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl₃): δ 7.60 (dd, J=5.6, 8.8 Hz, 1H), 6.93-7.06 (m, 2H), 2.55 (s, 3H).

A mixture of 4-fluoro-2-methylbenzonitrile (2 g, 14.8 mmol), NBS (2.64 g, 15 mmol) and AIBN (100 mg) in CCl₄was refluxed under nitrogen for 2 hours. The reaction was cooled to room temperature. The solid was removed by filtration. The organic solution was concentrated to give crude product as an oil, which was used in the next step without further purification. ¹H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl₃): δ 7.68 (dd, J=5.2, 8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.28 (dd, J=2.4, 8.8 Hz, 1H), 7.12 (m, 1H), 4.6 (s, 2H).

Alternatively, 32 was made as follows.

4-Fluoro-2-methylbenzonitrile (1 kg) in DCE (2 L) was treated with AIBN (122 g) and heated to 75° C. A suspension of DBH (353 g) in DCE (500 mL) was added at 75° C. portionwise over 20 minutes. This operation was repeated 5 more times over 2.5 hours. The mixture was then stirred for one additional hour and optionally monitored for completion by, for example, measuring the amount of residual benzonitrile using HPLC. Additional AIBN (e.g., 12.5 g) was optionally added to move the reaction toward completion. Heating was stopped and the mixture was allowed to cool overnight. N,N-diisopropylethylamine (1.3 L) was added (at <10° C. over 1.5 hours) and then diethyl phosphite (1.9 L) was added (at <20° C. over 30 min). The mixture was then stirred for 30 minutes or until completion. The mixture was then washed with 1% sodium metabisulfite solution (5 L) and purified with water (5 L). The organic phase was concentrated under vacuum to afford 32 as a dark brown oil (3328 g), which was used without further purification (purity was 97% (AUC)).

A mixture of crude 3-methyl-6-chlorouracil (0.6 g, 3.8 mmol), 2-bromomethyl-4-fluorobenzonitrile (0.86 g, 4 mmol) and K₂CO₃(0.5 g, 4 mmol) in DMSO (10 mL) was stirred at 60° C. for 2 hours. The reaction was diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc. The organics were dried over MgSO₄and the solvent removed. The residue was purified by column chromatography. 0.66 g of the product was obtained (yield: 60%). ¹H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl₃): δ 7.73 (dd, J=7.2, 8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.26 (d, J=4.0 Hz, 1H), 7.11-7.17 (m, 1H), 6.94 (dd, J=2.0, 9.0 Hz, 1H), 6.034 (s, 2H), 3.39 (s, 3H). MS (ES) [m+H] calc’d for C₁₃H₉ClFN₃O₂, 293.68; found 293.68.

Alternatively, 33 was made as follows.

To a solution of 6-chloro-3-methyluracil (750 g) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (998 mL) in NMP (3 L) was added (at <30° C. over 25 min) a solution of 32 (2963 g crude material containing 1300 g of 32 in 3 L of toluene). The mixture was then heated at 60° C. for 2 hours or until completion (as determined, for example, by HPLC). Heating was then stopped and the mixture was allowed to cool overnight. Purified water (3.8 L) was added, and the resultant slurry was stirred at ambient temperature for 1 hour and at <5° C. for one hour. The mixture was then filtered under vacuum and the wet cake was washed with IPA (2×2.25 L). The material was then dried in a vacuum oven at 40±5° C. for 16 or more hours to afford 33 as a tan solid (>85% yield; purity was >99% (AUC)).

A mixture of 33 (1212 g), IPA (10.8 L), (R)-3-amino-piperidine dihydrochloride (785 g), purified water (78 mL) and potassium carbonate (2.5 kg, powder, 325 mesh) was heated at 60° C. until completion (e.g., for >20 hours) as determined, for example, by HPLC. Acetonitrile (3.6 L) was then added at 60° C. and the mixture was allowed to cool to <25° C. The resultant slurry was filtered under vacuum and the filter cake was washed with acetonitrile (2×3.6 L). The filtrate was concentrated at 45° C. under vacuum (for >3 hours) to afford 2.6 kg of the free base of 34.

HCL salt OF TRELAGLIPTIN

The HCl salt of 34 was prepared from the TFA salt as follows. The TFA salt (34) was suspended in DCM, and then washed with saturated Na₂CO₃. The organic layer was dried and removed in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in acetonitrile and HCl in dioxane (1.5 eq.) was added at 0° C. The HCl salt was obtained after removing the solvent. ¹H-NMR (400 MHz, CD₃OD): δ. 7.77-7.84 (m, 1H), 7.12-7.26 (m, 2H), 5.47 (s, 1H), 5.21-5.32 (ABq, 2H, J=32.0, 16.0 Hz), 3.35-3.5 (m, 2H), 3.22 (s, 3H), 3.01-3.1 (m, 1H), 2.69-2.93 (m, 2H), 2.07-2.17 (m, 1H), 1.83-1.93 (m, 1H), 1.55-1.80 (m, 2H).

The slurry was stirred for 1 hour and then filtered. The wet cake was washed with CH₂Cl₂(3.6 L) and then THF (4.8 L). The wet cake was then slurried in THF (4.8 L) for one hour and then filtered. The filter cake was again washed with THF (4.8 L). The material was then dried in a vacuum oven at 50° C. (with a nitrogen bleed) until a constant weight (e.g., >26 hours) to afford 34 as the HCl salt as a white solid (1423 g, >85% yield).

Succinate salt OF TRELAGLIPTIN

Figure US20080227798A1-20080918-C00001

The succinate salt of 34 was prepared from the HCl salt as follows. To a mixture of the HCl salt of 34 (1414 g), CH₂Cl₂(7 L) and purified water (14 L) was added 50% NaOH solution (212 mL) until the pH of the mixture was >12. The biphasic mixture was stirred for 30 min and the organic layer was separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with CH₂Cl₂(5.7 L) and the combined organic layers were washed with purified water (6 L). The organic layer was then passed through an in-line filter and concentrated under vacuum at 30° C. over three hours to afford the free base as an off-white solid. The free base was slurried in prefiltered THF (15 L) and prefiltered IPA (5.5 L). The mixture was then heated at 60° C. until complete dissolution of the free base was observed. A prefiltered solution of succinic acid (446 g) in THF (7 L) was added (over 23 min) while maintaining the mixture temperature at >57° C. After stirring at 60° C. for 15 min, the heat was turned off, the material was allowed to cool, and the slurry was stirred for 12 hours at 25±5° C. The material was filtered under vacuum and the wet cake was washed with prefiltered IPA (2×4.2 L). The material was then dried in a vacuum oven at 70±5° C. (with a nitrogen bleed) for >80 hours to afford the succinate salt of 34 as a white solid (1546 g, >90% yield).

The product was also converted to a variety of corresponding acid addition salts. Specifically, the benzonitrile product (approximately 10 mg) in a solution of MeOH (1 mL) was treated with various acids (1.05 equivalents). The solutions were allowed to stand for three days open to the air. If a precipitate formed, the mixture was filtered and the salt dried. If no solid formed, the mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue isolated. In this way, salts of 34 were prepared from the following acids: benzoic, p-toluenesulfonic, succinic, R-(−)-Mandelic and benzenesulfonic. The succinate was found to be crystalline as determined by x-ray powder diffraction analysis.

Methanesulfonate salt

In addition, the methanesulfonate salt was prepared as follows. A 10.5 g aliquot of the benzonitrile product was mixed with 400 mL of isopropylacetate. The slurry was heated to 75° C. and filtered through #3 Whatman filter paper. The solution was heated back to 75° C. and a 1M solution of methanesulfonic acid (30.84 mL) was added slowly over 10 minutes while stirring. The suspension was cooled to room temperature at a rate of about 20° C./hr. After 1 hr at room temperature, the solid was filtered and dried in an oven overnight to obtain the methanesulfonate salt.

POLYMORPHS AND SYNTHESIS

WO2008067465A1

FORM A

Form A may be prepared by crystallization from the various solvents and under the various crystallization conditions used during the polymorph screen (e.g., fast and slow evaporation, cooling of saturated solutions, slurries, and solvent/antisolvent additions). Tables B and C of Example 3 summarize the procedures by which Form A was prepared. For example, Form A was obtained by room temperature slurry of an excess amount of Compound I in acetone, acetonitrile, dichloromethane, 1,4-dioxane, diethyl ether, hexane, methanol, isopropanol, water, ethylacetate, tetrahydrofuran, toluene, or other like solvents on a rotating wheel for approximately 5 or 7 days. The solids were collected by vacuum filtration, and air dried in the hood. Also, Form A was precipitated from a methanol solution of Compound I by slow evaporation (SE).

[0091] Form A was characterized by XRPD, TGA, hot stage microscopy, IR, Raman spectroscopy, solution ¹H-NMR, and solid state ¹³C-NMR.

[0092] Figure 1 shows a characteristic XRPD spectrum (CuKa, λ=1.5418A) of Form A. The XRPD pattern confirmed that Form A was crystalline. Major X-Ray diffraction lines expressed in °2Θ and their relative intensities are summarized in Table 1.

8. Amorphous Form

[0137] The Amorphous Form of Compound I was prepared by lyophilization of an aqueous solution of Compound I (Example 10). The residue material was characterized by XRPD and the resulting XRPD spectrum displayed in Figure 26. The XRPD spectrum shows a broad halo with no specific peaks present, which confirms that the material is amorphous. The material was further characterized by TGA, DSC, hot stage microscopy, and moisture sorption analysis.

General procedure for the preparation of salts of Compound I.

[0171] The benzonitrile product may be isolated as the free base if desired, but preferably, the product may be further converted to a corresponding acid addition salt. Specifically, the benzonitrile product (approximately 10 mg) in a solution of MeOH (1 mL) was treated with various acids (1.05 equivalents). The solutions were allowed to stand for three days open to the air. If a precipitate formed, the mixture was filtered and the salt dried. If no solid formed, the mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue isolated. In this way, salts of Compound I were prepared from the following acids: benzoic, p-toluenesulfonic, succinic, R-(-)-Mandelic and benzenesulfonic. [0172] The isolation and/or purification steps of the intermediate compounds in the above described process may optionally be avoided if the intermediates from the reaction mixture are obtained as relatively pure compounds and the by-products or impurities of the reaction mixture do not interfere with the subsequent reaction steps. Where feasible, one or more isolation steps may be eliminated to provide shorter processing times, and the elimination of further processing may also afford higher overall reaction yields.

Formula 1

Korea Patent Publication No. 2008-0094604 the call to the scheme, as indicated by A Ⅰ) of formula (II) beta-compound of formula 3 is already substituted heterocyclic compound having 1-hydroxy-benzotriazole group (HOBT) 1-ethyl-3- (3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) and reacting with a tertiary amine to prepare a compound of formula (4) connected by peptide bonds; Ⅱ) beta comprises the step of reacting under acidic conditions a compound of the formula (4) – a method of manufacturing the heterocyclic compounds of the formula I having an amino group is disclosed.

– Scheme A]

(Wherein, PG is a protecting group.)

In this case, the beta of the formula (2) of Scheme A – a compound having an amino group is prepared in addition to the DPP-IV inhibitor International Publication represented by Formula 1 WO03 / 000181, WO03 / 004498, WO03 / 082817, WO04 / 007468, WO04 / 032836, WO05 / 011581, WO06 / 097175, WO07 / 077508, WO07 / 063928, WO08 / 028662 WO08 / it may be used for the production of different DPP-IV inhibitors according 087,560 and can be prepared in a number of ways.

To, the compound of Formula 2 is an example as shown in Scheme J. Med.Chem. 2005; 141, and Synthesis 1997; it can be produced by the known method described in 873.

Specifically, (2S) – (+) – 2,5- dihydro-3,6-dimethoxy-2-isopropyl-pyrazine 2,4,5-trifluoro-react with benzyl bromide and acid treatment, and then the amine an ester compound obtained by the protection reaction. Ester compounds are hydrolyzed to re-3- (2,4,5-trifluoro-phenyl) -2-amino-propionic acid tert such as isobutyl chloroformate, triethylamine or diisopropylethylamine to give the amine, and then using diazomethane to form a diazo ketone, and then may be prepared by reaction with silver benzoate. However, the reaction can be performed at low temperature (-78 ℃) or high alpha-amino acid to purchase and use, and may have a risk of problems such as the need to use large diazomethane.

To a different process for preparing a compound of Formula 2 as shown in scheme Tetrahedron: Asymmetry 2006; It is known in 2622; 205 or similarly Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters 2007.

That is, a 1,1′-carbonyl-2,4,5 which the phenyl trifluoroacetic acid activated using the following imidazole mono-methyl words potassium carbonate is reacted with the beta-keto ester compound is prepared. This produced an enamine ester using ammonium acetate and ammonium solution, the ester compound chloro (1,5-cyclooctadiene) rhodium (I) dimer using a chiral ferrocenyl ligands I the reaction of the high-pressure hydrogen with a chiral primary amine with a beta-amino ester compound after production and can lead to hydrolysis to prepare a compound of formula (2). However, use of expensive metal catalyst has a problem that must be performed in high pressure hydrogenation.

The method for preparing a compound of Formula 2 is disclosed in International Publication No. WO 04/87650.

Specifically, 2,4,5-fluorophenyl reagent is oxalyl chloride, the acid activated acid with 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione, and after the reaction of methanol and the resulting material at reflux to prepare a corresponding compound. With a selective reducing reagents which enantiomers (S) -BINAP-RuCl ₂ and hydrogen through a reaction (S) – producing a compound having coordinated to each other, it again after the decomposition, and the singer O- benzyl hydroxyl amine and the coupling reaction and the intermediate is prepared. To do this, the resulting intermediate tree azodicarboxylate and diisopropyl azodicarboxylate presence ring condensation reaction, treated with an aqueous solution of lithium hydroxide to (R) – while having the formula (II) coordinated to the amine group protected with a benzyl-O- the compound can be produced. However, the method has a problem as a whole to be prepared by the reaction yield to be low and a long processing time to perform the reaction.

Thus, the conventional known method for producing a compound of the general formula (2) has the disadvantage of using expensive reagents, or not suitable for commercial mass-production method by a long synthesis time yield is also low.

In addition, the compound represented by General Formula (3), as described in Korea Patent Publication No. 2008-0094604 call, can be prepared by way of reaction schemes.

Specifically, the starting material D- serine methyl ester is substituted by a hydroxy group when reflux again substituted by trityl chloride as methoxy groups converted to the aziridine compound.

Evogliptin tartrate tablets is being concurrently developed by Dong-A Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd.

for the Korean market. Based on information released from a multi-centre, phase II, randomised,

double-blind, placebo-controlled, therapeutic exploratory clinical trial conducted in Korea by

Dong-A Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. to investigate the efficacy and safety of evogliptin, evogliptin

was proven to be effective in significantly lowering blood glucose levels in patients with type

2 diabetes. Data also show that the body weights of patients remain stable over the treatment

period. In addition, evogliptin was proven to be safe and well tolerated with no severe adverse

drug reactions observed during those phase II clinical trials. The Company believes evogliptin

tartrate tablets will help reduce the burden of patients with moderate-to-severe renal impairment

as pharmacokinetic study in animal model and healthy human volunteers showed low renal

elimination.

According to the statistics of IMS Health Incorporated, the market size of products for the

treatment of diabetes in China in 2013 was approximately RMB7.8 billion, and grew at a

compound annual growth rate of 23.4% from 2011 to 2013.

Dong-A ST has licensed its new diabetes drug Evogliptin to 17 Latin American countries including Mexico, Venezuela, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, the Dominican Republic, and Uruguay, Jung Jae-wook, Dong-A ST’s PR manager, told Business Korea.

Dong-A ST and Eurofarma, a Brazilian pharmaceutical company, concluded the licensing contract at Dong-A ST’s headquarters on April 13 in Seoul.

Eurofarma will be responsible for Evogliptin’s product development and sales in the 17 Latin American countries, Dong-A ST said. Dong-A ST will receive royalties from Eurofarma, and export the raw material of the medicine.

Dong-A ST has been developing Evogliptin with the support of the Ministry of Health & Welfare of South Korea as an innovative new medicine research project since May 2008. Evogliptin is a DPP-4 remedy based on the inhibition mechanism which is “excellent” at reducing blood sugar, whilst “less likely” to cause weight increases and hypoglycemia, the company said.

Park Chan-il, president of Dong-A ST, said that Dong-A ST will pursue further out-licensing “over the globe,” through continuous investment in research and development.

Maurizio Billi, Eurofarma’s president, wished to expand both companies’ partnership in the innovative new remedy development sector, according to Dong-A ST.

Last July, Dong-A ST and Eurofarma concluded a contract out-licensing Evogliptin to Brazil itself, the company said.

Latest Stage of Development	Phase II
Standard Indication	Diabetes
Indication Details	Treat Type II diabetes

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia coupled with a gradual decline in insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion. The incretin hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which is released post-prandially from the L-cells of the intestine, stimulates the release of insulin from pancreatic β-cells. However, GLP-1 is rapidly degraded in vivo by peptidases, including dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-4), which is a widely distributed serine protease that specifically cleaves N-terminal dipeptides from polypeptides with proline or alanine at the penultimate position.

In vivo administration of DPP-4 inhibitors to human subjects results in higher circulating concentrations of endogenous GLP-1 and subsequent decrease in plasma glucose. Long term treatment with a DPP-4 inhibitor leads to a reduction in circulating HbA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin). DPP-4 inhibition also offers the potential to improve the insulin producing function of the pancreas through either β-cell preservation or regeneration. Therefore, DPP-4 inhibition has emerged as a promising new treatment of Type 2 diabetes

PF-734200 is a potent, selective, orally active dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitor. It had been in phase II clinical development at Pfizer for the treatment of type 2 diabetes; however, in 2010 the company discontinued these trials. In 2012, the product was licensed to SatRx, a spin-off of the ChemRar High Tech Center, by Pfizer on an exclusive worldwide basis (with the exception of China) for the development and commercialization as monotherapy or in combination with other therapies for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. SatRx is conducting phase II clinical trials for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

New synthetic route to a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor
Org Process Res Dev 2012, 16(3): 409

http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/op200309z

A new synthetic route to a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitor was developed and demonstrated on a multigram scale. This approach takes advantage of the cheap and readily available Boc-trans-4-hydroxy-l-proline methyl ester as starting material which was derivatized through an SN2 reaction. Several leaving groups were studied, and the nosylate group showed superiority over other derivatives. Formation of an amide using the most costly starting material, 3,3-difluoropyrrolidine, was performed late in the synthesis to minimize its economical impact on the overall cost of the API.

Example 113 (3.3-Difluoropyrrolidin-1-yl)-((2S,4S)-4-(4-(pyrimidin-2-yl)piperazin-1-yl)pyrrolidin-2-yl)-methanone

Step 1 – (S)-2-(3.3-Difluoro-pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl)-4-oxo-pyrrolidine-1 -carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

3,3-Difluoro- pyrrolidine hydrochloride (4.13 kg, 1.0 equivalent) was charged to the above mixture over 10 minutes at – 10°C to 0°C. Triethylamine (4.0 liters, 1.0 equiv) was introduced slowly over 70 minutes at -10°C to 0°C. Upon completion of triethylamine addition, the mixture was stirred for 1h at 0 to 5°C. The reaction was complete by HPLC assay (-1% starting material). The reaction was quenched with water (10 volumes) at 0°C to 5 °C. The mixture was heated to 20°C to 25 °C. The layers were separated, and the organic layer was washed with 0.5 M HCI (5 volumes). The organic layer was again washed with combined 5% NaHC0₃ (2 volumes) and half saturated brine solution (1.64 M, 3 volumes). The organic solution was concentrated atmospherically to a low stirrable volume (approximately 20 liters). Ethyl acetate (12.6 volumes, 82.8 liters) was added, the solution was concentrated atmospherically to -6 volumes. The mixture was held at 60°C to 65 °C for 2 hours and cooled to room temperature over 3 hours. The mixture was held at 20°C to 25 °C for 8 hours. Heptane (8 volumes) was added, and the mixture was granulated for a minimum of 2 hours. The solid was filtered, rinsed with 2:1 heptane/ethyl acetate (1 volume), and dried in a tray dryer at 25°C to 35°C for a minimum of 12 h. Yield: 7.26 kg, 79%. HPLC purity: 99.7%. The mother liquor (86 liters) was concentrated to 12 liters under partial vacuum at 65°C to 70°C. The mixture was cooled to 60°C to 65 °C. Ethyl acetate (4.0 liters) was added slowly over 15 minutes. The mixture was cooled to 20°C to 25 °C over 2 hours and was held at that temperature for at least 2 hours. The solid was filtered and rinsed with heptane/ethyl acetate (3:1 v/v, 1.7 liters). Drying in a tray dryer for 12 hours at 35°C to 45 °C yielded 435 grams of product. HPLC purity: 96.4%.

Step 2 – (2S.4S)-2-(3.3-Dif luoro-pyrrolidine-1 -carbonyl)-4-(4-pyrimidin-2-yl-piperazin-1 -yl)-pyrrolidine-1 – carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester A reactor was charged with THF (20 volumes), 2-piperazin-1-yl-pyrimidine (2.17 kg, 1.05 equivalents) and the product from Step 1 (4.00 kg, 1.0 equivalent). The mixture was held at 20°C to 25°C until all material was dissolved over 30 minutes. Acetic acid (0.792 kg, 1.05 equivalents) as added. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour during which the reaction mixture turned to cloudy. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 30 minutes and then concentrated at 60°C to 70°C until a steady temperature of 66.9°C was observed in the overheads indicating complete removal of water from the system. More THF was added as necessary. At the end, THF was added to bring the total volume in the reactor to 15 volumes of the limit reagent. The reaction mixture was cooled to -3°C to 7°C and sampled for complete formation of imine by HPLC (using sodium triacetoxyborohydride to reduce imine). Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (5.33 kg, 2.0 equivalents) was added portion-wise to the suspension at -5°C to 15°C. The reaction mixture was heated to 20°C to 25°C and held for 12 hours. HPLC results confirmed the reaction was complete by 99.8%. Sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution (10% w/w, 10 volumes) was added. The slurry was concentrated to remove 10 volumes of THF under partial vacuum at 30°C to 60°C. Ethyl acetate (10 volumes) was added to the suspension after it cooled to 20°C to 25^CC. The organic phase was separated and the aqueous phase was checked by HPLC. It contained less than 2% of the product. The organic phase was washed with water (5 volumes), saturated brine solution (5 volumes) and concentrated to a small volume (2 volumes) under partial vacuum at 45°C to 50°C. To the slurry was added heptane (10 volumes) at 45°C to 50°C over 30 minutes. The mixture was cooled to 20°C to 25°C and granulated for 2 hours. Solid was collected by filtration, rinsed with heptane (2 volumes). Drying in a tray dryer for 12 hours at 35°C to 45°C yield 5.35 kg (91.3%) of the product. Step 3 – (3.3-Dif luoro-pyrrolidin-1 -yl)-f(2S.4S)-4-(4-pyrimidin-2-yl-piperazin-1 -yl)-pyrrolidin-2-yll- methanone Water (19 liters, 2 volumes) was charged to a reactor followed by the product from Step 2 (9.57 kg,

1.0 equivalent). To the slurry was added concentrated HCI (37 wt% in water, 19.1 liters, 2 volumes) slowly at 20°C to 30°C over 4 hours. The slurry went into solution after 12 liters of HCI was added. After the addition completion, the reaction was complete by HPLC assay. The reaction mixture was cooled to 5°C to 15°C. To the mixture was added 50% NaOH aqueous solution slowly with agitation to pH 10 to pH 11. The pH was monitored with a pH meter closely during the neutralization. The total volume of 50% NaOH added was 12.45 liters. The mixture was warmed to 20°C to 25°C and extracted with ethyl acetate twice (115 liters, 12 volumes and 57 liters, 6 volumes, respectively). The sample from aqueous layer after second extraction was analyzed by HPLC and showed only 1% of the product in that aqueous solution.

The organic layers were combined and treated with magnesium sulfate (5 kg) for 1 hour. The mixture was filtered. The filter cake was rinsed with ethyl acetate (10 liters). The filtrate was charged back to the reactor via a 0.2 micron in-line filter for speck free operation. (The following operations were performed under speck free conditions.) The solution was concentrated to 20 liters (2 volumes) under partial vacuum at 50°C to 60°C. The mixture was cooled to 20°C to 25°C over 30 minutes. Upon cooling to room temperature, crystallization occurred. The mixture was held for 30 minutes. Hexanes (20 liters, 2 volumes) was added slowly over 1 hour. The mixture was granulated for 2 hours. The solid product was collected by filtration and rinsed with hexanes/ethyl acetate (10 liters, 1 :1 v/v). The filter was blown dry with nitrogen for a minimum of 2 hours. The product was dried in a tray dryer at 44°C for 12 hours.

This approach begins with N–t-Boc-4-oxo-l-proline (1) that undergoes a mixed anhydride activation with pivaloyl chloride at 0 °C, followed by amidation with 3,3-difluoropyrrolidine to yield the intermediate 2. Reductive amination with 1-(2-pyrimidyl)piperazine using sodium triacetoxyborohydride in THF/AcOH provided the desired stereoisomer 3 in high yield and selectivity, the undesired diastereomer being completely removed by crystallization. Deprotection of 3 with 6 N HCl, followed by neutralization with 50% NaOH and extraction provided PF-734200 (4) in good yield.
