Graphical abstract: Fluorine gas for life science syntheses: green metrics to assess selective direct fluorination for the synthesis of 2-fluoromalonate esters .

Optimisation and real time reaction monitoring of the synthesis of 2-fluoromalonate esters by direct fluorination using fluorine gas is reported. An assessment of green metrics including atom economy and process mass intensity factors, demonstrates that the one-step selective direct fluorination process compares very favourably with established multistep processes for the synthesis of fluoromalonates.

Scheme 2 Synthetic routes to 2-fluoromalonate esters.

There are three realistic, low-cost synthetic strategies available for the large scale manufacture of diethyl 2-fluoromalonate ester (Scheme 2) which involve reaction of ethanol with hexafluoropropene (HFP), halogen exchange (Halex)and selective direct fluorination processes. Other syntheses of fluoromalonate esters using electrophilic fluorinating agents such as Selectfluor™ are possible, but are not sufficiently commercially attractive to be considered for manufacture on the large scale.

A growing number of patents utilising fluoromalonate as a substrate for the synthesis of a range of biologically active systems have been published For example, Fluoxastrobin (Fandango®), a fungicide marketed by Bayer CropScience that has achieved global annual sales of over €140 m since its launch in 2005, and TAK-733, an anti-cancer drug candidate, employ 2-fluoromalonate esters as the key fluorinated starting material (Scheme 1).

Scheme 1 2-Fluoromalonate esters used in the synthesis of Fluoxastrobin and TAK-733.

Before a comparison of the green metrics between the three possible, economically viable large scale processes for the synthesis of fluoromalonate esters (Scheme 2) could be carried out, some primary goals for the optimisation of the process were targeted: complete conversion of the starting material is essential because it can be difficult to separate the starting material from the desired monofluorinated product by simple distillation; fluorine gas usage should be minimised because neutralisation of excess reagent could potentially generate significant amounts of waste; reduction in volumes of solvents used to reduce waste streams and overall intensification of the fluorination process and replacement and/or reduction of all environmentally harmful solvents used.

Conventional batch direct fluorination reactions of malonate esters were carried out in glassware vessels by introduction of fluorine gas, as a 10% or 20% mixture in nitrogen (v/v), at a prescribed rate via a gas mass flow controller into a solution of malonate ester and copper nitrate catalyst in acetonitrile using equipment described previously.

To better understand the relationship between fluorine gas introduction and rate of conversion, real time IR spectroscopic monitoring of the reaction was chosen as the most suitable technique. The use of the ReactIR technique was enabled by a sufficient difference in the carbonyl group stretching frequencies (1734 cm⁻¹ for diethyl malonate and 1775 cm⁻¹ for diethyl 2-fluoromalonate) and provided an in situ reaction profile (Fig. 1).


	Fig. 1 IR spectra of the fluorination reaction at 0% (light blue), 50% (dark blue) and 100% (red) conversions.

The real time reaction monitoring (Fig. 1 and 2) revealed that the reaction begins instantly upon initiation of fluorine introduction and the reaction conversion is directly proportional to the amount of fluorine gas passed into the reaction vessel. When the intensity of the fluoromalonate carbonyl peak (1775 cm⁻¹) reached a maximum, the introduction of fluorine gas was stopped and the crude reaction mixture was analysed by ¹H and ¹⁹F NMR spectroscopy. Complete conversion of the starting material was observed and diethyl fluoromalonate was formed with 93% selectivity after introducing 1.1 equivalents of fluorine into the reaction mixture. The small excess of fluorine explains the unexpectedly small amount of difluorinated side products B and C (4.5 and 2.5% respectively) which were the major impurities (6.5 and 9% respectively) when larger excess of fluorine gas (1.8 eq.) was used.


	Fig. 2 In situ monitoring of the fluorination of diethyl malonate.

The effect of concentration of fluorine in nitrogen, reaction temperature, copper nitrate catalyst loading and concentration of malonate substrate in acetonitrile were varied to optimise the fluorination process (Table 1). Additionally, reactions described in Table 1 allowed an assessment of various factors that have a major influence on the environmental impact of the process such as solvent usage, reaction temperature and the amount and composition of waste generated. In each case 20 mmol (3.20 g) of diethyl malonate was used as substrate and the isolated mass balance of crude material obtained after work-up was recorded along with the conversion of starting material and yield of fluorinated products (Table 1).

2	0–5	1.5	10	10	100%	94/4/2	3.30 g

8	0–5	2.0	5	20	52%	92/5/3	3.40 g

In all cases, small quantities of side products were formed which were identified by ¹⁹F NMR and these originate from two different processes: 3,3-difluoromalonate is produced from enolisation of diethyl fluoromalonate which is much slower than enolisation of the diethyl malonate substrate, while the fluoroethyl fluoromalonate is postulated to form via an electrophilic process.

The data in Table 1 suggest that the concentration of the malonate ester substrate in acetonitrile has no apparent effect on the outcome of the reaction although solvent is required for these reactions because diethyl malonate does not dissolve the catalyst. Additionally, the use of high dielectric constant media, such as acetonitrile, have been found to be beneficial for the control of selectivity of electrophilic direct fluorination processes. For convenience, a 1.5 M concentration of malonate in acetonitrile was chosen as the optimal conditions which is approximately 5 mL solvent per 1 mL of diethyl malonate.

The concentration of fluorine gas, between 10–20% v/v in nitrogen, does not affect the selectivity of the reaction and the quality of the product either, as exemplified by the product mixtures obtained from reactions 1, 2 and 7 which have identical compositions. In contrast, carrying out fluorination reactions at room temperature rather than cooling the reaction mixture to 0–5 °C leads to increased catalyst decomposition which results in an insoluble copper species that on occasion blocked the fluorine gas inlet tube. In addition, without cooling, the exothermic nature of this fluorination reaction led to a slight reaction temperature increase (from 20 to 29 °C in a small scale laboratory experiment) resulting in loss of some solvent and some decomposition of the catalyst and product degradation.

Lowering the concentration of the copper nitrate catalyst led to a significantly slower reaction as would be expected and required the use of a larger excess of fluorine gas to enable sufficiently high conversion. For example, the reaction proceeded in the presence of only 2.5 mol% catalyst, but in this case 40% excess fluorine was required to reach 100% conversion.

Typical literature work-up procedures for direct fluorination reactions involve pouring the reaction mixture into 3 to 5 volumes of water and extracting the resulting mixture three times with dichloromethane. The combined organic fraction is typically washed with water, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and dried over sodium sulfate before evaporation of the solvent to give the crude reaction product. We sought to improve the work-up to enable recycling of the reaction solvent and substitute the use of environmentally harmful dichloromethane in the reaction work-up stage. Upon completion of fluorine gas addition, acetonitrile was evaporated for reuse and then the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water, the organic phase was washed with water, saturated Na₂CO₃ solution and saturated brine and dried prior to evaporation under reduced pressure. Modification of the workup procedure in this manner enables the recovery of acetonitrile and ethyl acetate and significantly reduces the amount of aqueous waste generated. When direct reuse of the recovered acetonitrile was attempted, a copper containing precipitate was formed presumably because of the high HF content of the solvent (0.63 M by titration). Therefore, before reuse of the solvent, HF must be removed. Stirring the recovered reaction solvent with solid Na₂CO₃ lowered the acid content to an acceptable level (0.04 M) and when a second fluorination reaction was carried out in the recovered, neutralised acetonitrile, no change in the fluorination reaction profile was observed.

Upon completion of these optimisation studies, selective fluorination reactions of malonate esters were scaled up to 40 g scale in the laboratory without experiencing any change in product profile. Isolation of significant quantities of monofluoromalonate A crude product (99% yield, 95% purity) was achieved which could be used in the subsequent cyclisation processes described below without further purification or, if high purity material was required, could be purified by fractional vacuum distillation (bp. 102–103 °C, 18 mbar) to produce 99% pure material in 77% yield.

Related malonate esters were also subjected to direct fluorination using the optimised conditions established above. In the case of di-tert-butyl malonate, fluorination was carried out on 12 g scale. 100% conversion was reached after the introduction of 1.2 equivalents of fluorine gas and the desired product was isolated in 96% yield. The purity of the crude product was higher than 97% by ¹H and ¹⁹F NMR spectroscopy without any further purification and as expected, the only side product was the 2,2-difluorinated product (Scheme 3).


	Scheme 3 Fluorination of di-methyl and di-tert-butyl malonates.

Diethyl fluoromalonate large scale fluorination

Diethyl malonate (40.0 g, 0.25 mol) and copper nitrate hydrate (Cu(NO₃)₂·2.5H₂O; 5.81 g, 25 mmol) were dissolved in acetonitrile (200 mL) and placed in 500 mL fluorination vessel, cooled to 0–5 °C and stirred at 650 rpm using an overhead stirrer. After purging the system with N₂ for 5 minutes, fluorine gas (20% v/v in N₂, 80 mL min⁻¹, 265 mmol) was introduced into the mixture for 6 hours and 30 minutes. The reactor was purged with nitrogen for 10 minutes, the solvent removed in vacuo and the residue partitioned between water (50 mL) and ethyl acetate (50 mL). The aqueous phase was extracted once more with ethyl acetate (50 mL) and the combined organic layers were washed with saturated NaHCO₃ (25 mL) and brine (20 mL). After drying over sodium sulfate, the solvent was evaporated to leave diethyl 2-fluoromalonate (44.4 g, 99% yield, 95% purity) as a light yellow, transparent liquid. This crude product was distilled to afford high purity fluoromalonate (34.7 g, 77% yield, 99%+ purity) as a colourless liquid, bp. 102–103 °C (18 mbar), (lit.: 110–112 °C, 29 mbar), spectroscopic data as above………N.

CTAF1 (i) (3af?,4F?,5F?,6aS)-4-formyl-2- oxohexahydro-2 –cyclopenta[b]furan-5-yl benzoate (1 g) in dichloromethane (10 ml_) was added over 5 minutes at 25-35 °C. The temperature was raised to 35-40 °C and the mixture was stirred for 2hours under a nitrogen atmosphere. The mixture was cooled to 15°C and the reaction was quenched by adding acetic acid (0.2 mL), followed by adding saturated ammonium chloride solution (10 mL), and further stirring for 15 minutes. The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (5 mL). The combined organic layers were evaporated under reduced pressure below 50°C. The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (100-200 mesh) with 30% ethyl acetate in hexane, to afford the title compound (0.9 g, 61 %yield).

Methyl t-butyl ether (MTBE) (10 mL) was added and the mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature. The organic phase was separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with MTBE (2x 10 mL). The combined organic phase was washed with water (10 mL), saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (10 mL), and then brine (10 mL). The washes were back-extracted with MTBE (10 mL). The combined organic phases were dried with magnesium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated to give a colourless oil (2.20 g).

[0282]

To a solution of methyl 2-bromobenzoate (20.76 g, 96 mmol) in 120 mL of anhydrous ether under Argon at 0° C. was slowly added methylmagnesium bromide (77 mL, 3.26 M) at a rate that the internal temperature of the mixture was below 20° C. A white suspension resulted, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The mixture was cooled in an ice-water bath. To the reaction mixture was very slowly added hydrochloric acid (400 mL, 0.5 M). The pH of the final mixture was adjusted to less than about 6 with few drops of 2M hydrochloric acid. The layers were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted twice with ether. The organic layers were combined and dried over magnesium sulfate. The organic fraction was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to yield the title compound as a pale yellow liquid, which was distilled under vacuum to afford the title Compound 10d as a colorless liquid (16.9 g, 82%, b.p. about 65-70° C./0.3 mmHg). ¹H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl₃) δ (ppm): 7.67 (dd, 1H, J=1.7, 7.9 Hz), 7.58 (dd, 1H, J=1.3, 7.9 Hz), 7.30 (ddd, 1H, J=1.4, 7.4, 7.9 Hz), 7.10 (ddd, 1H, J=1.7, 7.4, 7.8 Hz), 2.77 (br s, 1H), 1.76 (s, 6H).

[0283]

To a solution of n-BuLi (166 mL, 2.6 M, 432 mmol) in 200 mL of THF at −78° C. under argon was slowly added a solution of Compound 10d (42.2 g, 196 mmol) in 60 mL of THF at a rate that the internal temperature remained below −70° C. The mixture was stirred at −75° C. for 2 h. To the reaction mixture was then added triisopropylborate (59 mL, 255 mmol) in three portions. The mixture was allowed to warm slowly to room temperature overnight. The mixture was then cooled to 0° C., and was carefully quenched with dilute hydrochloric acid (250 mL, 2N). The mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The pH of the mixture was checked and adjusted to acidic using additional 2N HCl if prophetic. The two layers were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted twice with ether. The organic layers were combined, and dried with magnesium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to yield a pale yellow oil. The residue was then diluted with ethyl acetate (400 mL) and, washed with 1N sodium hydroxide solution (150 mL×3). The basic aqueous layers were combined and acidified with 2N HCl. The clear solution turned cloudy when the acid was added. The mixture was extracted with ether (150 mL×3). The organic layers were combined and dried with magnesium sulfate. The solution was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to yield the title Compound 10e as a colorless oil (26.2 g, 82%) which was used without further purification in the next step. ¹H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d₆) δ (ppm): 9.00 (s, 1H), 7.66 (dm, 1H, J=7.3 Hz), 7.45 (dt, 1H, J=1.1, 7.7 Hz), 7.40 (dm, 1H, J=7.6 Hz), 7.31 (dt, 1H, J=1.2, 7.1 Hz), 1.44 (s, 6H).

The mixture was evacuated and filled with Argon three times. The mixture was heated to 100° C. for 20 h. The mixture was then cooled to room temperature. The biphasic system was transferred to a 1 L separatory funnel and the two layers were separated. The organic layer was washed with brine (2×300 mL). The aqueous layers were combined and extracted with ethyl acetate once (about 300 mL). The organic layers were combined, dried with sodium sulfate, and filtered. The volume of the filtrate was reduced to about 170 mL under reduced pressure. The mixture was then filtered through a pad of silica gel and the pad was washed with ethyl acetate until the filtrate did not contain any product. After concentration, a light pink/beige solid was obtained. The solid was triturated with 50 mL ethyl acetate, and the mixture was heated to 85° C. for 5 min. The mixture was slowly cooled to r.t., then cooled at 0° C. for 0.5 h. The mixture was filtered, and the solid was washed with cold ethyl acetate twice, and dried under vacuum at 40° C. to yield the title Compound 18 as a light beige solid (7.58 g, 33%).

[0286]

A 2-L 4-neck round bottom flask equipped with an air condenser/argon inlet, mechanical stirrer, thermocouple and a stopper was charged with 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde (250 g, 196.2 mL, 1.44 mol), malonic acid (302.6 g, 2.87 mol), and pyridine (750 mL). An exotherm developed (about 38-40° C.), which was maintained for 30 min. Piperidine (14.202 mL, 143.58 mmol) was then added to the reaction and a second exotherm developed (T_maxabout 42° C. after about 10 min.). The reaction was stirred for 30 min and then heated to 60° C. for 18 h (overnight). The reaction appeared to be complete by TLC, and was cooled to about 40° C., diluted into water (2 L; done to prevent reaction freezing), cooled to room temperature, and further diluted with water (4 L, 6 L total). The slurry was acidified to pH=2.0-3.0 with concentrated hydrochloric acid (about 675-700 mL). The material was stirred for 30 min., and a white solid was collected by filtration. The filter cake was washed with water until the filtrate was neutral (pH about 5.5-6, 2.5 L), air-dried in a Buchner funnel for 2 h, and then further dried in a vacuum oven at 60° C. overnight to provide 300.5 g (96%) of the title Compound 10a as a white solid.

Step B. (E)-5-bromo-2-[2-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-vinyl]-1H-benzimidazole

[0287]

To a 5-L 4-neck round bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer, argon inlet-argon outlet to a carbonate scrub, two stoppers, and a room temperature water bath was charged with 4-(trifluoromethyl)cinnamic acid (315 g, 1.46 mol) and dichloromethane (3.15 L) to give a slurry. To the slurry was added oxalyl chloride (151.71 mL, 1.75 mol) and DMF (1.13 mL, 14.57 mmol). Upon addition of DMF, gas evolution commenced, and the reaction was continued for about 3 h during which time a solution developed. When the reaction was complete (LC-MS), it was concentrated to dryness to give 342.4 g of 3-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-acryloyl chloride Compound 10b (>100%) as a yellow oily solid.
[0288]

A 5-L 4-neck round bottom flask equipped with mechanical stirrer, thermocouple, air condenser with argon inlet, and a stopper was charged with 4-bromo-benzene-1,2-diamine (244 g, 1.27 mol) and acetic acid (2.13 L). To this solution was added a solution of Compound 10b (327 g, 1.39 mol) in toluene (237 mL). After this addition, the temperature spiked to 45° C. in about 30 seconds and then subsided. The reaction was then heated to 90° C. for 16 h (overnight). The reaction was cooled to 40° C., and poured into a mixed solution of EtOAc and heptane (about 1:3, 5.75 L) and a precipitate occurred. The resulting slurry was stirred for 3 h, and the solid was collected by filtration, washed with EtOAc:heptane (1:3, 3 L), and then dried in a vacuum oven (60° C.) to give 324.3 g (65%) of the title Compound 10c as a partial acetate salt.

Step C. 2-(2-bromo-phenyl)-propan-2-ol

[0289]

A 12-Liter 4-neck flask equipped with a thermocouple, condenser, septum, addition funnel and overhead mechanical stirrer under argon was charged with methyl-2-bromobenzoate (226.5 g, 1.05 mol) and THF (1.6 L, 19.66 mol). The mixture was cooled to a temperature between 2 and 5° C. with stirring and held for 30 min. To the solution was slowly added methyl magnesium bromide in diethyl ether (3M, 1.05 L; 3.15 mol) via the addition funnel at a rate to maintain the reaction temperature below 15° C. An exotherm was observed during the addition, the reaction temperature warmed from 3 to 15° C. The addition of 1.05 L Grignard was complete in 4 h (approximate feed rate was 4.17 mL/min). The reaction mixture appeared to be off-white/yellow slurry. The reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred overnight (15 h). The reaction was sampled by HPLC/TLC and showed no starting material present. The ice bath was again applied to the reaction flask and a 0.5 M HCl solution (4.5 L; 2.25 mol) was slowly added over a period of 2 h. The temperature increased dramatically from 0 to 15° C. After the quench was complete, the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. Additional 2 N HCl (500 mL; 1.00 mol) was slowly added to maintain a pH less than 6. MTBE (1 L) was added to help with the phase split. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 1 to 2 h to dissolve the solid material into the aqueous phase (most likely Mg(OH)₂which is very basic). The pH must be checked and adjusted with additional acid when necessary. The phases were separated and the aqueous layer was washed with an additional 1 L MTBE (2×500 mL). The organic phases were combined, washed with NaHCO₃solution (2×300 mL), dried over MgSO₄, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under vacuum to yield the title Compound 10d (220.83 g, 97.48% yield) as a clear yellow oil.

[0290]

A 12-Liter 4-neck round bottom flask equipped with a thermocouple, condenser, addition funnel and overhead mechanical stirrer under dry Argon was charged with anhydrous THF, (3 L) and chilled to −70 to −78° C. via a dry ice/acetone bath. n-Butyl lithium (2.5N in hexanes, 860 mL, 2.15 mol) was slowly added via addition funnel. An exotherm was observed as the temperature rose from −78 to −70° C. To the addition funnel was added a solution of Compound 10d (220 g, 979.97 mmol) in anhydrous THF (1 L). The 2-(2-bromophenyl)propan-2-ol solution was slowly added to the n-BuLi solution. The addition took 90 min in order to maintain a reaction temperature below −70° C. After the addition was complete, the reaction mixture was stirred at −70 to −75° C. for 30 min. The triethylborate (230 mL, 1.35 mol) was quickly added in 3 portions at −70° C. An exotherm was observed, the batch temperature rose from −70 to −64° C. The reaction was stirred at −70° C. and slowly warmed to room temperature over night. After the reaction was cooled to 0-5° C., the reaction was slowly quenched with 2 M HCl (1 L, 2.00 mol) added via the addition funnel while maintaining the batch temperature 0-5° C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h. The aqueous phase pH was 9-10. The pH was then adjusted to acidic (4-5) with 2 M HCl (200 mL). The two phases were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with MTBE (2×500 mL). The combined organic phases were dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solution was filtered and concentrated to yield a yellow oil. The yellow oil was diluted with MTBE (1.5 L) and washed with 1M NaOH (3×500 mL). The product containing basic aqueous phases were combined and acidified with 2 M HCl (800 mL) (the clear solution turns turbid with the addition of acid). After stirring the turbid solution for 15 min (pH=4-5) (Note 1), it was extracted with MTBE (2×500 mL). The organic phases were combined and dried over MgSO₄. The solution was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated to yield the title Compound 10e as a clear yellow oil (121.78 grams, 77% yield).

The solution was degassed and purged with N₂three times. Compound 10e (71.7 g, 0.35 mol) and Compound 10c (100.0 g, 0.27 mol) were added to the degassed solution. The solution was degassed and purged with N₂three times. PdCl₂(dppf) (44.48 g, 54.4 mmol) was added to the solution, and the solution was degassed and purged with N₂three times. The resulting two-phase suspension was heated to reflux for 18 h, and then cooled to room temperature. The reaction mixture was transferred to a 12-L separatory funnel, and the layers were separated. The organic layer was washed with brine (1 L). The two aqueous layers were combined and extracted with EtOAc (1 L). The combined organic layers were dried (Na₂SO₄), filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to an oil. Two separate 100 g coupling reactions were combined and purified by chromatography in 10 successive chromatography runs on an ISCO preparative chromatography system (10×1.5 Kg SiO2, 5 column volumes of EtOAc, 250 mL/min flow rate). The combined fractions were transferred to two 22 L 4-neck round bottom flasks, and Silicycle Si-thiol functionalized silica gel (2 g) was added to each solution. The solutions were warmed to 40° C. and aged for 1 h. The solutions were filtered thru a medium glass funnel and washed with EtOAc (4 L) and combined. The filtrate was evaporated to a semi solid, which was transferred to a 2 L round bottom flask, to which EtOAc (0.4 L) was added. The resulting white precipitate slurry was cooled to −5° C. and stirred for 1 h. The slurry was filtered and washed twice with cold EtOAc (100 mL). The solids were dried in a vacuum oven at 40° C. for 40 h to afford 84.0 g (36.5% yield, 98.8 area % purity) of the title Compound 18 as a white solid. Anal.

An introduction to the Prequalification of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients

The WHO Prequalification of Medicines Programme (PQP) facilitates access to quality medicines through assessment of products and inspection of manufacturing sites. Since good-quality active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are vital to the production of good-quality medicines, PQP has started a pilot project to prequalify APIs.

WHO-prequalified APIs are listed on the WHO List of Prequalified Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients. The list provides United Nations agencies, national medicines regulatory authorities (NMRAs) and others with information on APIs that have been found to meet WHO-recommended quality standards. It is believed that identification of sources of good-quality APIs will facilitate the manufacture of good-quality finished pharmaceutical products (FPP) that are needed for procurement by UN agencies and disease treatment programmes.

Details of the API prequalification procedure are available in the WHO Technical Report Series TRS953, Annex 4. Key elements of this document are given below.

What is API prequalification?

API prequalification provides an assurance that the API concerned is of good quality and manufactured in accordance with WHO Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).

API prequalification consists of a comprehensive evaluation procedure that has two components: assessment of the API master file (APIMF) to verify compliance with WHO norms and standards and assessment of the sites of API manufacture to verify compliance with WHO GMP requirements.

Prequalification of an API is made with specific reference to the manufacturing details and quality controls described in the APIMF submitted for assessment. Therefore, for each prequalified API, the relevant APIMF version number will be included in the WHO List of Prequalified Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients.

Steps in the process

The WHO prequalification procedure for medicines and active pharmaceutical ingredients

Steps API prequalification

Initially, an application is screened to determine whether it is covered by the relevant expression of interest (EOI). It is also screened for completeness; in particular, the formatting of the submitted APIMFs is reviewed. Once the application has been accepted, a WHO reference number is assigned to it.

A team of assessors then reviews the submitted APIMF, primarily at bimonthly meetings in Copenhagen. Invariably, assessors raise questions during assessment of the APIMF that require revision of the information submitted and/or provision of additional information, and/or replacementof certain sections within the APIMF. Applicants are contacted to resolve any issues raised by the assessors.

It is important that any prequalified API can be unambiguously identified with a specific APIMF. Therefore, once any and all issues regarding its production have been resolved, the applicant will be asked to submit an updated APIMF that incorporates any changes made during assessment. The version number of the revised and up-to-date APIMF will be included on the WHO List of Prequalified Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients, to serve as a reference regarding the production and quality control of that API.

For APIMFs that have already been accepted in conjunction with the prequalification of an FPP, full assessment is generally not required. Such APIMFs are reviewed only for key information and conformity with administrative requirements. Nonetheless, a request for further information may be made, to ensure that the APIMF meets all current norms and standards; PQP reserves the right to do so.

An assessment is also undertaken of WHO GMP compliance at the intended site(s) of API manufacture. Depending on the evidence of GMP supplied by the applicant, this may necessitate on-site inspection by WHO. If a WHO inspection is conducted and the site is found to be WHO GMP-compliant, the API will be recommended for prequalification. Additionally, a WHO Public Inspection Report (WHOPIR) will be published on the PQP web site.

When the APIMF and the standard of GMP at the intended manufacturing site(s) have each been found to be satisfactory, the API is prequalified and listed on the WHO List of Prequalified Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients.

The successful applicant will also be issued a WHO Confirmation of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient Prequalification document. This document contains the accepted active ingredient specifications and copies of the assay and related substances test methodology. This document may be provided by the API manufacturers to interested parties at their discretion.

Maintenance of API prequalification status

Applicants are required to communicate to WHO any changes that have been made to the production and control of a WHO-prequalified API. This can either be in the form of an amendment, or as a newly-issued version of the APIMF. It is the applicant’s responsibility to provide WHO with the appropriate documentation (referring to relevant parts of the dossier), to prove that any intended or implemented change will not have or has not had a negative impact on the quality of the prequalified API. This may necessitate the updating of the information published on the WHO List of Prequalified Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients.

The decision to prequalify an API is based upon information available to WHO at that time, i.e. information in the submitted APIMF, and on the status of GMP at the facilities used in the manufacture and control of the API. The decision to prequalify an API is subject to change, should new information become available to WHO. For example, if serious safety and/or quality concerns arise in relation to a prequalified API, WHO may suspend the API until the investigative results have been evaluated by WHO and the issues resolved, or delist the API in the case of issues that are not resolved to WHO’s satisfaction.

Who can participate?

Any manufacturer of any active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) that is included on an Invitation to Submit an Expression of Interest for Product Evaluation can submit an application for product evaluation.

If an applicant is acting on behalf of a manufacturer, the actual manufacturer(s) of the API and any contract manufacturers, must be clearly listed in the cover letter

To manufacturers of medicinal products

The vision of the WHO Prequalification of Medicines Programme (PQP) is of a world in which good-quality medicines are available to all those who need them. PQP facilitates access to good-quality medicines through assessment of products and inspection of manufacturing facilities. Since good-quality active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are vital to the production of good-quality medicines, PQP has started a project to prequalify APIs.

APIs that meet assessment criteria will be added to the WHO List of Prequalified Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients. Manufacturers and National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) can use the List to help them identify APIs of assured quality, while UN agencies and others can use the List to supplement the information found on the WHO List of Prequalified Medicines Products.

The issuing of an invitation to submit an expression of interest (EOI) is the first step in the prequalification process. Each invitation is developed in consultation with WHO disease programmes, other UN agencies (including UNAIDS and UNICEF) and UNITAID. The 1st Invitation to manufacturers of APIs to submit a request for an evaluation of an API was issued in October 2010.

The current EOI is:

8 ^th invitation to manufacturers of APIs to submit an EOI for product evaluation

In applying for evaluation of an API, manufacturers are requested to submit a covering letter, application form, API master file (APIMF), site master file (SMF), and evidence of current GMP certification to PQP. Thereafter, PQP will undertake a comprehensive evaluation of the APIMF and review the GMP status of the manufacturing site(s). In some cases, PQP will request additional information and may also inspect the manufacturing site(s).

Prequalification of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) – Procedural Guidance

Any applicant who is unclear over any aspect of the API prequalification procedure should contact PQT prior to submission, since incorrect submissions will be rejected.

ASLAN Pharmaceuticals, a Singapore-based drugmaker, announced The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave an orphan drug designation on August 13 to its pan-HER inhibitor ASLAN001 (varlitinib), a drug candidate created to treat a destructive form of bile duct cancer called cholangiocarcinoma that has no known cure. ………http://www.dddmag.com/news/2015/08/aslan-pharmaceuticals-gains-orphan-designation-rare-cancer-drug

Current developer: Array Biopharma Inc,

Varlitinib, also known as ARRY-543 and ASLAN001, is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor receptor family with potential antineoplastic activity.

Varlitinib (ASLAN-001) is an oncolytic drug in phase II clinical trials at ASLAN Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of gastric cancer and for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer in combination with capecitabine. Clinical development is also ongoing for the treatment of solid tumors in combination with cisplatin/FU and cisplatin/capecitabine. The product had been in phase I/II clinical trials at Array BioPharma for the treatment of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. Phase II clinical trials had also been ongoing for the treatment of solid tumors. No recent development has been reported for this research

Varlitinib selectively and reversibly binds to both EGFR (ErbB-1) and Her-2/neu (ErbB-2) and prevents their phosphorylation and activation, which may result in inhibition of the associated signal transduction pathways, inhibition of cellular proliferation and cell death. EGFR and Her-2 play important roles in cell proliferation and differentiation and are upregulated in various human tumor cell types. Due to the dual inhibition of both EGFR and Her-2, this agent may be therapeutically more effective than agents that inhibit EGFR or Her-2 alone.

The drug is a dual inhibitor of the ErB-2 and EGFR receptor kinases, both of which have been shown to stimulate aberrant growth, prolong survival and promote differentiation of many tumor types. The compound behaves as a reversible ATP-competitive inhibitor with nanomolar potency both in vitro and in cell-based proliferation assays.

In 2011, the compound was licensed to Aslan Pharmaceuticals by Array BioPharma worldwide for the treatment of solid tumors, initially targeting patients with gastric cancer through a development program conducted in Asia.

In 2015, orphan drug designation was assigned to the compound in the U.S. for the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma.

Benzyl 3-deoxy-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzylamino)-β-L-xylopyranoside

Uncategorized Comments Off

Aug 202015

The title compound was synthesized by opening the epoxide of benzyl 2,3-anhydro-β-L-ribopyranoside with 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzylamine (Scheme 1). The three broad peaks in the 1 H-NMR due to one –NH at δ 2.20 ppm, and two –OH at δ 5.00 ppm and 5.26 ppm, disappeared upon D2O exchange. The chemical shifts of the sugar hydrogens, along with COSY and HMBC were used to assign C7, C1″, C2″, C3″, C4″, C5″ and C7′ atoms. The coupling constant between H-1″ and H-2″ on the sugar ring was found to be 7.98 Hz, indicating that the protons at the 1- and 2-positions were in axial positions and that the molecule exists in solution in 1 C4 conformation (Scheme 1). The coupling constant was similar to related analogs [14,15]. The coupling constant between H-2” and H-3” was found to be 9.12 Hz. The coupling constant between the pro-R and pro-S hydrogens on C7 was found to be 12.24 Hz. The 13C had five pairs of atoms with the same chemical shift. There were three pairs of carbon atoms on the 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl ring ( two ortho- and two meta-, and two equivalent methoxy groups) that had similar chemical shifts. On the benzyl group, chemical shifts of two pairs of carbon atoms (two ortho- and two meta-) were observed.

PREPN

Benzyl 2,3-anhydro-β-L-ribopyranoside (1) was obtained from L-arabinose in five steps using a previously reported synthetic route [14]. To a mixture of benzyl 2,3-anhydro-β-L-ribopyranoside 1 (0.15 g, 0.68 mmol) and 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzylamine 2 (180 mL, 0.91 mmol) was added ethyl alcohol (3 mL). After refluxing the mixture for 16 h and cooling at room temperature for 12 h, white crystals (needles) formed. Recrystallization from hexane/ethyl acetate mixture (3:2, v/v) produced a pure compound (0.206 g, 72%,
