Aurigene Discovery Technologies Limited INNOVATOR

Curis with the option to exclusively license Aurigene’s orally-available small molecule antagonist of programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) in the immuno-oncology field

Addressing immune checkpoint pathways is a well validated strategy to treat human cancers and the ability to target PD-1/PD-L1 and other immune checkpoints with orally available small molecule drugs has the potential to be a distinct and major advancement for patients.

Through its collaboration with Aurigene, Curis is now engaged in the discovery and development of the first ever orally bioavailable, small molecule antagonists that target immune checkpoint receptor-ligand interactions, including PD-1/PD-L1 interactions. In the first half of 2016, Curis expects to file an IND application with the U.S. FDA to initiate clinical testing of CA-170, the first small molecule immune checkpoint antagonist targeting PD-L1 and VISTA. The multi-year collaboration with Aurigene is focused on generation of small molecule antagonists targeting additional checkpoint receptor-ligand interactions and Curis expects to advance additional drug candidates for clinical testing in the coming years. The next immuno-oncology program in the collaboration is currently targeting the immune checkpoints PD-L1 and TIM3.

In November 2015, preclinical data were reported. Data demonstrated tha the drug rescued and sustained activation of T cells functions in culture. CA-170 resulted in anti-tumor activity in multiple syngeneic tumor models including melanoma and colon cancer. Similar data were presented at the 2015 AACR-NCI-EORTC Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics Conference in Boston, MA

By August 2015, preclinical data had been reported. Preliminary data demonstrated that in in vitro studies, small molecule PD-L1 antagonists induced effective T cell proliferation and IFN-gamma production by T cells that were specifically suppressed by PD-L1 in culture. The compounds were found to have effects similar to anti-PD1 antibodies in in vivo tumor models

(Oral Small Molecule PD-L1/VISTAAntagonist)

Certain human cancers express a ligand on their cell surface referred to as Programmed-death Ligand 1, or PD-L1, which binds to its cognate receptor, Programmed-death 1, or PD-1, present on the surface of the immune system’s T cells. Cell surface interactions between tumor cells and T cells through PD-L1/PD-1 molecules result in T cell inactivation and hence the inability of the body to mount an effective immune response against the tumor. It has been previously shown that modulation of the PD-1 mediated inhibition of T cells by either anti-PD1 antibodies or anti-PD-L1 antibodies can lead to activation of T cells that result in the observed anti-tumor effects in the tumor tissues. Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 interactions have now been approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of certain cancers, and multiple therapeutic monoclonal antibodies targeting PD-1 or PD-L1 are currently in development.

In addition to PD-1/PD-L1 immune regulators, there are several other checkpoint molecules that are involved in the modulation of immune responses to tumor cells¹. One such regulator is V-domain Ig suppressor of T-cell activation or VISTA that shares structural homology with PD-L1 and is also a potent suppressor of T cell functions. However, the expression of VISTA is different from that of PD-L1, and appears to be limited to the hematopoietic compartment in tissues such as spleen, lymph nodes and blood as well as in myeloid hematopoietic cells within the tumor microenvironment. Recent animal studies have demonstrated that combined targeting/ blockade of PD-1/PD-L1 interactions and VISTA result in improved anti-tumor responses in certain tumor models, highlighting their distinct and non-redundant functions in regulating the immune response to tumors².

As part of the collaboration with Aurigene, in October 2015 Curis licensed a first-in-class oral, small molecule antagonist designated as CA-170 that selectively targets PD-L1 and VISTA, both of which function as negative checkpoint regulators of immune activation. CA-170 was selected from the broad PD-1 pathway antagonist program that the companies have been engaged in since the collaboration was established in January 2015. Preclinical data demonstrate that CA-170 can induce effective proliferation and IFN-γ (Interferon-gamma) production (a cytokine that is produced by activated T cells and is a marker of T cell activation) by T cells that are specifically suppressed by PD-L1 or VISTA in culture. In addition, CA-170 also appears to have anti-tumor effects similar to anti-PD-1 or anti-VISTA antibodies in multiple in vivo tumor models and appears to have a good in vivo safety profile. Curis expects to file an IND and initiate clinical testing of CA-170 in patients with advanced tumors during the first half of 2016.

Curis and Aurigene Announce Collaboration, License and Option Agreement to Discover, Develop and Commercialize Small Molecule Antagonists for Immuno-Oncology and Precision Oncology Targets

— Agreement Provides Curis with Option to Exclusively License Aurigene’s Antagonists for Immuno-Oncology, Including an Antagonist of PD-L1 and Selected Precision Oncology Targets, Including an IRAK4 Kinase Inhibitor —

— Investigational New Drug (IND) Application Filings for Both Initial Collaboration Programs Expected this Year —

— Curis to issue 17.1M shares of its Common Stock as Up-front Consideration —

— Management to Host Conference Call Today at 8:00 a.m. EST —

LEXINGTON, Mass. and BANGALORE, India, Jan. 21, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Curis, Inc. (Nasdaq:CRIS), a biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative drug candidates for the treatment of human cancers, and Aurigene Discovery Technologies Limited, a specialized, discovery stage biotechnology company developing novel therapies to treat cancer and inflammatory diseases, today announced that they have entered into an exclusive collaboration agreement focused on immuno-oncology and selected precision oncology targets. The collaboration provides for inclusion of multiple programs, with Curis having the option to exclusively license compounds once a development candidate is nominated within each respective program. The partnership draws from each company’s respective areas of expertise, with Aurigene having the responsibility for conducting all discovery and preclinical activities, including IND-enabling studies and providing Phase 1 clinical trial supply, and Curis having responsibility for all clinical development, regulatory and commercialization efforts worldwide, excluding India and Russia, for each program for which it exercises an option to obtain a license.

The first two programs under the collaboration are an orally-available small molecule antagonist of programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) in the immuno-oncology field and an orally-available small molecule inhibitor of Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK4) in the precision oncology field. Curis expects to exercise its option to obtain exclusive licenses to both programs and file IND applications for a development candidate from each in 2015.

“We are thrilled to partner with Aurigene in seeking to discover, develop and commercialize small molecule drug candidates generated from Aurigene’s novel technology and we believe that this collaboration represents a true transformation for Curis that positions the company for continued growth in the development and eventual commercialization of cancer drugs,” said Ali Fattaey, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Curis. “The multi-year nature of our collaboration means that the parties have the potential to generate a steady pipeline of novel drug candidates in the coming years. Addressing immune checkpoint pathways is now a well validated strategy to treat human cancers and the ability to target PD-1/PD-L1 and other immune checkpoints with orally available small molecule drugs has the potential to be a distinct and major advancement for patients. Recent studies have also shown that alterations of the MYD88 gene lead to dysregulation of its downstream target IRAK4 in a number of hematologic malignancies, including Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia and a subset of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas, making IRAK4 an attractive target for the treatment of these cancers. We look forward to advancing these programs into clinical development later this year.”

Dr. Fattaey continued, “Aurigene has a long and well-established track record of generating targeted small molecule drug candidates with bio-pharmaceutical collaborators and we have significantly expanded our drug development capabilities as we advance our proprietary drug candidates in currently ongoing clinical studies. We believe that we are well-positioned to advance compounds from this collaboration into clinical development.”

CSN Murthy, Chief Executive Officer of Aurigene, said, “We are excited to enter into this exclusive collaboration with Curis under which we intend to discover and develop a number of drug candidates from our chemistry innovations in the most exciting fields of cancer therapy. This unique collaboration is an opportunity for Aurigene to participate in advancing our discoveries into clinical development and beyond, and mutually align interests as provided for in our agreement. Our scientists at Aurigene have established a novel strategy to address immune checkpoint targets using small molecule chemical approaches, and have discovered a number of candidates that modulate these checkpoint pathways, including PD-1/PD-L1. We have established a large panel of preclinical tumor models in immunocompetent mice and can show significant in vivo anti-tumor activity using our small molecule PD-L1 antagonists. We are also in the late stages of selecting a candidate that is a potent and selective inhibitor of the IRAK4 kinase, demonstrating excellent in vivo activity in preclinical tumor models.”

In connection with the transaction, Curis has issued to Aurigene approximately 17.1 million shares of its common stock, or 19.9% of its outstanding common stock immediately prior to the transaction, in partial consideration for the rights granted to Curis under the collaboration agreement. The shares issued to Aurigene are subject to a lock-up agreement until January 18, 2017, with a portion of the shares being released from the lock-up in four equal bi-annual installments between now and that date.

The agreement provides that the parties will collaborate exclusively in immuno-oncology for an initial period of approximately two years, with the option for Curis to extend the broad immuno-oncology exclusivity.

In addition Curis has agreed to make payments to Aurigene as follows:

for the first two programs: up to $52.5 million per program, including $42.5 million per program for approval and commercial milestones, plus specified approval milestone payments for additional indications, if any;
for the third and fourth programs: up to $50 million per program, including $42.5 million per program for approval and commercial milestones, plus specified approval milestone payments for additional indications, if any; and
for any program thereafter: up to $140.5 million per program, including $87.5 million per program in approval and commercial milestones, plus specified approval milestone payments for additional indications, if any.

Curis has agreed to pay Aurigene royalties on any net sales ranging from high single digits to 10% in territories where it successfully commercializes products and will also share in amounts that it receives from sublicensees depending upon the stage of development of the respective molecule.
About Immune Checkpoint Modulation and Programmed Death 1 Pathway

Modulation of immune checkpoint pathways has emerged as a highly promising therapeutic approach in a wide range of human cancers. Immune checkpoints are critical for the maintenance of self-tolerance as well as for the protection of tissues from excessive immune response generated during infections. However, cancer cells have the ability to modulate certain immune checkpoint pathways as a mechanism to evade the immune system. Certain immune checkpoint receptors or ligands are expressed by various cancer cells, targeting of which may be an effective strategy for generating anti-tumor activity. Some immune-checkpoint modulators, such as programmed death 1 (PD-1) protein, specifically regulate immune cell effector functions within tissues. One of the mechanisms by which tumor cells block anti-tumor immune responses in the tumor microenvironment is by upregulating ligands for PD-1, such as PD-L1. Hence, targeting of PD-1 and/or PD-L1 has been shown to lead to the generation of effective anti-tumor responses.

Interleukin-1 Receptor Associated Kinase-4 (IRAK-4) is a serine/threonine protein kinase belonging to tyrosine like kinase (TLK) family. IRAK-4 is one of the important signalling components downstream of IL-1/Toll family of receptors (IL-1R, IL-18R, IL-33R, Toll-like receptors). Recent studies have reported occurrence of oncogenic mutations in MYD88 in 30% of ABC diffuse large B cell lymphomas (ABC DLBCL) and 90% of Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia (WM). Most of ABC DLBCLs have a single amino acid substitution of proline for the leucine at position 265 (L265P) in the TIR domain of MYD88 protein resulting in constitutive activation of IRAK-4. Thus, IRAK4 is an attractive therapeutic target for the treatment of B-cell lymphomas with activating MYD88 L265P mutation. We have designed, synthesized and tested small molecule IRAK-4 inhibitors based on hits originating from Aurigene’ s compound library. These novel compounds were profiled for IRAK4 kinase inhibition, anti-proliferative activity, kinase selectivity, and drug-like properties. Furthermore, selected compounds were tested in a proliferation assay and pIRAK1 mechanistic assay using ABC-DLBCL cell lines with activating MYD88 L265P mutation, OCI-lLy10 and OCI-lLy3. We have identified a series of novel bicyclic heterocycles as potent inhibitors of IRAK-4. Aurigene Lead compound exhibited potent inhibitory activity for IRAK-4 with an IC₅₀ of 3nM in biochemical assay. Aurigene Lead compound inhibited pIRAK1 levels, and proliferation of OCI-Ly3 and OCI-Ly10 cells with an IC₅₀1of 132nM and 52nM respectively. To the best of our knowledge, Aurigene Lead compound represents the most potent IRAK4 inhibitor reported for target modulation and anti-proliferative activity in DLBCL cell lines with activating MYD88 L265P mutation. Aurigene Lead compound has good oral pharmacokinetic profile in mice and has demonstrated excellent pharmacodynamic effect in an in vivo LPS induced TNF-α model with an ED₅₀ of 3.8 mg/Kg in mice. Preliminary in vitro tox studies indicated clean safety profile. Demonstration of efficacy in OCI-lLy10 mouse tumor model is ongoing. In summary, a series of potent IRAK-4 inhibitors belonging to 3 different chemical series have been discovered and are being evaluated for treatment of B-cell lymphomas.

Curis with the option to exclusively license Aurigene’s orally-available small molecule inhibitor of Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK4) in the precision oncology field. Curis expects to exercise its option to obtain exclusive licenses to both programs and file IND applications for a development candidate from each in 2015.

Recent studies have also shown that alterations of the MYD88 gene lead to dysregulation of its downstream target IRAK4 in a number of hematologic malignancies, including Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia and a subset of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas, making IRAK4 an attractive target for the treatment of these cancers.

About IRAK4:

Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4, or IRAK4 is a signaling kinase that becomes inappropriately activated in certain cancers including activated B cell-diffuse large B cell lymphoma (ABC-DLBCL), an aggressive form of lymphoma with poor prognosis. There appears to be a mechanistic link with IRAK4 in ABC-DLBCL where these tumors from approximately 35% of patients harbor oncogenic mutations in the MYD88 gene, which encodes an adaptor protein that interacts directly with IRAK4. MYD88 mutations appear to constitutively activate the IRAK4 kinase complex, driving pro-survival pathways in ABC-DLBCL disease. Oncogenic MYD88 mutations have also been identified in other cancers, including in over 90% of patients with Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia as well as in a subset of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

About Aurigene

Small Molecule IRAK4 Kinase Inhibitor)

Innate immune responses mediated through Toll-like receptors or certain interleukin receptors are important mediators of the body’s initial defense against foreign antigens, while their dysregulation is associated with certain inflammatory conditions. Toll-like receptor and interleukin receptor signaling through the adaptor protein MYD88, results in the assembly and activation of IRAK4, initiating a signaling cascade that induces cytokine and survival factor expression mediated by the transcription factor NFκB. More recently, components of this pathway are recognized to be genetically altered and have important roles in specific human cancers. Toll-like receptor and interleukin receptor signaling through the adaptor protein MYD88, results in the assembly and activation of IRAK4, initiating a signaling cascade that induces cytokine and survival factor expression mediated by the transcription factor NFκB. MYD88 gene mutations are shown to occur in approximately 30% of Activated B-Cell (ABC) subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL)^1,2 and in over 90% of the B-cell malignancy Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia.³ Due to IRAK4’s central role in these signaling pathways, it is considered an attractive target for generation of therapeutics to treat these B-cell malignancies as well as certain inflammatory diseases.

As part of the collaboration with Aurigene, in October 2015 we exercised our option to exclusively license a program of orally-available, small molecule inhibitors of IRAK4 kinase, including the development candidate, CA-4948. Curis expects to file an IND and initiate clinical testing of CA-4948 in patients with advanced hematologic cancers during the second half of 2016.

Novel IRAK4 inhibitors

Susanta Samajdar from Aurigene Discovery Technologies presented the discovery of new IRAK4 (IL-1 receptor-associated kinase 4) inhibitors. Research began with a HTS campaign using two types of libraries: rationally designed novel scaffolds by hopping and morphing of known IRAK4 inhibitors and novel scaffolds identified by virtual screening of drug-like commercial library. A benzoxazol series was identified and crystallography was used to help their design. Lead optimization culminated in the identification of very potent compounds (AU-2807 and AU-2202) in cell assay (inflammation pathway and oncology pathway, respectively). The compounds were also active against Flt3 and KDR. Some PD in vivo data using LPS and TNFalpha release were presented in which the compound showed activity down to 10 mg/kg: no other in vivo model data were disclosed, but it was mentioned that studies in the CIA (collagen induced arthritis) model was ongoing. Dr Samajdar answered to three questions, one related to IRAK1 selectivity (the answer was that the compound is fully selective against IRAK1 and IRAK2). It was also mentioned that the compounds have a PBB higher than 98%. And the last question was related to the synergetic effect with BTK inhibitor in activated B-cell like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and this effect was observed with these compounds.

ICH Q3D implemented in the European Pharmacopoeia: Revision of Two General Monographs with Regard to Elemental Impurities

Two general monographs of the European Pharmacopoeia have been revised and published for comment in the newest “Pharmeuropa” edition. Read more about what you will have to consider in future with regard to the control of elemental impurities in pharmaceutical preparations, APIs and excipients.

see

http://www.gmp-compliance.org/enews_05296_ICH-Q3D-implemented-in-the-European-Pharmacopoeia-Revision-of-Two-General-Monographs-with-Regard-to-Elemental-Impurities_15499,15332,S-AYL_n.html

In a press release dated 30 November 2015, the EDQM announced the revision of two general pharmacopoeial monographs: “Substances for pharmaceutical use” (2034) and “Pharmaceutical preparations” (2619). The decision was taken during the 153rd session of the European Pharmacopoeia Commission; the Commission follows its strategy for implementing the ICH Guideline Q3D “Guideline for Elemental Impurities” in the European Pharmacopoeia. A section “Elemental Impurities” has been added to both monographs which emphasizes that the provisions laid down in General Chapter 5.20 of the Pharmacopoeia (identical in wording with ICH Q3D) apply to the limits of metallic impurities and to their control. For pharmaceutical preparations and substances for pharmaceutical use outside the scope of Chapter 5.20 (e.g. unlicensed patient-specific preparations, herbal products, radiopharmaceuticals, etc.), the manufacturer is obliged to perform a risk assessment with regard to the limits of those impurities and – if necessary – to use validated analytical procedures for their determination. The principles to be applied for such a risk assessment arise from a press release from the EDQM dated 7 August 2015: it is expected that the provisions defined on the Guidelines ICH Q3D or ICH Q9 are followed. Lastly, according to this press release, the control strategy of elemental impurities as well as the substantial demonstration of suitability of the analytical methods used in the marketing authorisation dossier remains in the responsibility of the manufacturer.

The definition of “Substances for pharmaceutical use” in the monograph 2034 states: “Substances for pharmaceutical use are any organic or inorganic substances or excipients for the production of medicinal products for human or veterinary use. … Substances for pharmaceutical use may be used as such or as starting materials for subsequent formulation to prepare medicinal products. Depending on the formulation, certain substances may be used either as active substances or as excipients.”

The drafts of the two revised general monographs are accessible for free in the Journal “Pharmeuropa“, Edition 28/2. You only need to register and log in with your password. The comment deadline for both monograph drafts ends on 30 June 2016.

The new Annex 16 “Certification by a Qualified Person and Batch Release” will become effective as of 15 April 2016.

The new Annex 16 is coming into Force

The new Annex 16 “Certification by a Qualified Person and Batch Release” will become effective as of 15 April 2016. The contents will reflect the coming state of expectations regarding the batch release.

see

http://www.gmp-compliance.org/enews_05188_The-new-Annex-16-is-coming-into-Force_15099,15432,Z-QAMPP_n.html

The new Annex 16 “Certification by a Qualified Person and Batch Release” will become effective as of 15 April 2016.

It is centrally pointed out that the main duty of a Qualified Person (QP) is the certification of batches. In this context, the QP must personally ensure that the responsibilities listed under Chapter 1.6 are fulfilled. Chapter 1.7 lists many other responsibilities to be guaranteed by the QP. However the related activities can be delegated and the QP can rely on the respective quality management systems. Yet, the “QP should have on-going assurance that this reliance is well founded” (1.7). The 21 responsibilites listed include amongst others:

The starting materials used comply with the requirements and the supply chain is known and under control.
The necessary audits have been carried out and the audit reports are available.
The manufacturing processes and testing methods are validated and in accordance with the marketing authorisation.
Changes have been assessed and completed accordingly.

In this context, it is important to mention that the Annex clearly highlights that the overall responsibility (safety, quality and efficacy) for a medicinal product lies with the marketing authorization holder (MAH). “However, the QP is responsible for ensuring that each individual batch has been manufactured and checked (…) in accordance with the requirements of the marketing authorisation (MA) and with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)” (see general principles).

In cases where the QP has to rely on the functioning QM system of another site, the QP must ensure that a documented review and permission of audit reports by third parties is available.

Another important section clarifies the role of the QP with regard to deviations and includes a few elements from EMA’s position paper on QP Discretion (published in February 2006 and updated in January 2008). Chapter 3 of the new Annex describes the “handling of unexpected deviations”. A batch with an unexpected deviation concerning the manufacturing process may be certified if the result of a risk analysis performed shows that “the potential impact of the deviation on quality, safety or efficacy of the batch(es) concerned and conclusion that the impact is negligible.” In cases where a deviation concerns specification defined in the marketing authorisation as essential for the release (OOS; out of specification), the QP will still have no scope left.

During the consultation phase, interest groups have expressed their concerns with regard to the sampling of imported products. Now, the new Annex 16 makes clear that “samples may either be taken after arrival in the EU, or be taken at the manufacturing site in the third in accordance with a technically justified approach which is documented within the company’s quality system. (…) Any samples taken outside the EU should be shipped under equivalent transport conditions as the batch that they represent.”

Regarding any requirements on import, the new Annex 16 “Certification by a Qualified Person and Batch Release” has been kept relatively short. Those requirements will probably be set in the new Annex 21.

GDC-0084, also known as RG7666, is a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor with potential antineoplastic activity. PI3K inhibitor GDC-0084 specifically inhibits PI3K in the PI3K/AKT kinase (or protein kinase B) signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting the activation of the PI3K signaling pathway. This may result in the inhibition of both cell growth and survival in susceptible tumor cell populations. Activation of the PI3K signaling pathway is frequently associated with tumorigenesis.

http://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/acsmedchemlett.6b00005

An improved, efficient process with a significantly reduced process mass intensity (PMI) led to the multikilogram synthesis of a brain penetrant PI3K inhibitor GDC-0084. Highlights of the synthesis include a phase transfer catalyzed annulation in water, an efficient Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of a chloropyrimidine with an arylboronic acid using a low palladium catalyst loading, and the development of a controlled crystallization to provide the API. The process delivered GDC-0084 with low levels of both impurities and residual metals.

Continuous-Flow Process for the Synthesis of m-Nitrothioanisole

Uncategorized Comments Off

Apr 062016

Abstract Image

A continuous-flow process for the preparation of m-nitrothioanisole has been set up. The starting material m-nitroaniline was diazotized to give diazonium chloride, followed by azo-coupling with sodium thiomethoxide to give 1-(methylthio)-2-(3-nitrophenyl)diazene, then dediazoniated to gain m-nitrothioanisole in high yield. The continuous-flow process minimized accumulation of the energetic intermediate diazonium salt and has a better capacity for adapting large-scale production. A solvent was introduced in the azo-coupling section to create a biphasic flow system. Side products were inhibited eminently in this flow process.

EXAMPLE 7

5-(5-Phenyl-4-(pyridin-2-ylmethylamino)quinazolin-2-yl)pyridine-3-sulfonamide

Step 1. Preparatio -Bromopyridine-3 -sulfonamide

See also U.S. Publication Nos. 2006/217387 and 2006/375834, and J. Org. Chem., 54:389 (1989). A mixture of pyridine-3 -sulfonic acid (10.3 g, 64.8 mmol), phosphorous pentachloride (20.82 g, 100 mmol) and phosphorous oxychloride (10 mL, 109 mmol) was heated to reflux where it stirred for 4h. At the conclusion of this period, the reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature. Once at the prescribed temperature, the reaction mixture was evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure to yield a residue. The residue was treated with bromine (6.00 mL, 1 16 mmol) and then heated to reflux where it stirred for 14h. After this time, the reaction mixture was cooled to 0 °C and then a saturated solution of NH₄OH in ¾0 (40 mL) was slowly added. The resulting mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature where it stirred for 30 min. The reaction mixture was then filtered and the filter cake was washed with hexane to afford 5 -bromopyridine-3 -sulfonamide (6.0 g) as an off- white solid. The product was used without further purification. LCMS Method Q: retention time 0.75 min; [M+l] = 237.0.

Step 2. Preparation of pyridine-3-sulfonamide-5-ylboronic acid pinacol ester

See also WO2008/150827 Al and WO2008/144463. A mixture of 5- bromopyridine-3 -sulfonamide (1.5 g, 6.33 mmol), bis(pinacolato)diboron (2.41 g, 9.5 mmol) and potassium acetate (1.86 g, 19.0 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (15 mL) was degassed with nitrogen for 15 min then (l, l’-bis(diphenylphosphino)- ferrocene)palladium (II) chloride dichloromethane complex (232 mg, 0.317 mmol) was added and the resulting mixture was degassed again with nitrogen for 10 min. At the conclusion of this period, the reaction mixture was heated in a microwave at 120 °C for 45 min. After this time, the reaction mixture was filtered through CELITE® and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to provide pyridine-3- sulfonamide-5-ylboronic acid pinacol ester (740 mg) as a brown solid. The product was used without further purification. ^XH NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d₆) δ (ppm): 8.83 (s, 1H), 8.80 (s, 1H), 8.26 (s, 1H), 7.56-7.74 (bs, 2H), 1.17 (s, 12H).

Step 3. Example 7

To a solution of 2-chloro-5-phenyl-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)quinazolin-4- amine (150 mg, 0.43 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (6 mL) and ¾0 (1 mL) under nitrogen was added pyridine-3-sulfonamide-5-ylboronic acid pinacol ester (185 mg, 0.65 mmol), and potassium carbonate (119 mg, 0.86 mmol).

Summary:
Mannans are major constitutents of hemicelluloses in plant tissue and are polymers composed of β(1→4)-linked mannose and glucose residues. Some contain galactopyranosyl side chains (see a galactomannan).

Slightly galactosylated mannans (4% galactose), considered as linear β(1→4)-D-mannans, have been isolated from the seed endosperm of vegetable ivory nut ( Phytelephas macrocarpa) and date ( Phoenix dactylifera) .
