A novel process for the preparation of considerably pure silodosin

GANGWAR, Kuldeep Singh; (IN).
KUMAR, Anil; (IN).
BHASHKAR, Bhuwan; (IN)

The present invention relates to a novel, improved, commercially viable and industrially advantageous process for the preparation of Silodosin of Formula (I), its pharmaceutically acceptable salts or solvates thereof. The invention relates to the preparation of considerably pure Silodosin with high yield.

Silodosin, l-(3-hydroxypropyl)-5-[(2R)-2-({2-[2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenoxy] ethyl} amino)propyl]-2,3-dihydro-lH-indole-7-carboxamide of Formula (I) is an indoline antidysuric which has a selectively inhibitory effect against urethra smooth muscle constriction, and decreases urethra internal pressure without great influence on blood pressure. Silodosin is available under trade names RAPAFLO^® or UROREC^®. Silodosin was first disclosed in EP 0600675 as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of dysuria associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia, where a process for producing the compound is also disclosed.

Formula (I)

Since, Silodosin is an optically active compound having a complex chemical structure; its synthesis is relatively complex and requires a sequence of multiple steps.

US patent no. 6,310,086, discloses a process for preparing Silodosin analogue compound from reaction of (R)-3-{5-(2-aminopropyl)-7-cyano-2,3-dihydro-lH-indol-l-yl} propylbenzoate with 2-(2-ethoxyphenoxy)ethyl methanesulfonate and finally isolated as a crude compound which is purified by column chromatography. The said process has a major disadvantage of using column chromatography which is not feasible at plant scale production.

PCT application no. WO 2012147019, discloses the preparation of Silodosin as shown in scheme- 1, wherein the Ν,Ν-dialkyl impurity of Formula (Ila) formed during condensation of 3-{7-cyano-5-[(2R)-2-aminopropyl]-2,3-dihydro-lH-indol-l-yl}propyl benzoate of Formula (III) with 2-(2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenoxy)ethyl methanesulfonate of Formula (IV); is removed through preparation of monotartarate salt to give compound of Formula (VI). The compound of Formula (VI) is base hydrolyzed followed by cyano hydrolysis to give crude Silodosin of Formula (VIII) which is then further purified by crystallization to get desired pure Silodosin.

Scheme- 1:

Major drawback of above said reaction process is that multiple isolations and crystallizations are required to get pure Silodosin.

Similarly, US 7,834,193 discloses monooxalate salt represented by Formula Via having 0.9% of dialkyl impurity represented by Formula Ila. The oxalate salt so obtained is subjected to alkaline hydrolysis followed by transformation of the nitrile to an amide.

Formula (Ila)

Similarly, PCT application no. WO 2012147107, discloses the method wherein Silodosin is prepared by condensation of 3-{7-cyano-5-[(2R)-2-aminopropyl]-2,3-dihydro-lH-indol-l-yl} propyl benzoate with 2-[2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenoxy]ethyl methanesulfonate in solvent using base and phase transfer catalyst wherein, dialkyl impurity is formed up to 11%, followed by hydroxyl deprotection in protic solvent using base and phase transfer catalyst which is then subjected to purification to remove N,N-dialkyl impurity represented by Formula (lib) up to 0.6% through the preparation of acetate salt. This process suffers from a serious drawback i.e., accountable formation of dialkyl impurity and even after purification the impurity is reduced to only up to 0.6%. Secondly, the process requires multiple isolations and purifications ensuing into time engulfing workups and purifications and hence incurring solvent wastage. This makes process lengthy, uneconomical and tedious to be performed at plant scale.

Another PCT application no. WO 2012131710, discloses the preparation of Silodosin in which the chiral compound (3-(5-((R)-2-aminopropyl)-7-cyanoindolin-l-yl)propyl benzoate) is reacted with 2-[2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenoxy]ethyl methane sulfonate in isopropyl alcohol using sodium carbonate as base. The reaction is completed in 40-50h and about 9-11% of dimer is formed during condensation. After completion of reaction, it is subjected to hydroxyl deprotection and the crude compound so obtained is purified to remove the Ν,Ν-dialkyl impurity of Formula (lib). The pure compound is then reacted with hydrogen peroxide in dimethyl sulfoxide to give Silodosin. The major drawback of this process is that the process is a multistep process wherein the condensation reaction is long-drawn-out resulting into countable amount of dimer formation during the process.

Thus, the prior art methods of preparing Silodosin require multiple and repeated purifications to synthesize DMF (Drug Master File) grade Silodosin. None of the prior art produces compound of Formula (VI) or (VII) with Ν,Ν-dialkyl impurity of Formula (Ila) or (lib) in an amount less than 0.6% to 0.5% even after purification. Therefore to prepare highly pure Silodosin, there is a need to explore new synthetic schemes that could be more economical and scalable. The present invention provides a novel, improved, commercially viable and industrially advantageous process for the synthesis of Silodosin and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts or solvates thereof. The present invention focus on preparation of highly pure Silodosin in appreciable yields with minimal use of solvents wherein the Silodosin is isolated with purity >99.5% having Ν,Ν-dialkyl impurity less than 0.03% and other individual impurities below 0.1%.

The present invention Provides a process for preparation of {(2E, 4E, 6E, 8E) -9- (4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethyl) phenyl-3,7-dimethyl-nona-2,4,6 , 8} tetraenoate, acitretin year intermediate of formula (VI) with trans isomer ≥97%, comprenant of Reacting 3-formyl-Crotonic acid butyl ester of formula (V) Substantially free of impurities, with 5- (4-methoxy- 2,3,6-trimethylphenyl) -3-methyl-penta-2,4-diene-l-triphenyl phosphonium bromide of formula (IV) and isolating resulting compound of formula (VI) Treating the filtrate with iodine for isomerization of the Undesired cis intermediate and finally Obtaining acitretin (I), with trans isomer Desired ≥97%.

Samit Satish Mehta holds the position of the President – Research & Development

Acitretin of formula (I), chemically known as (2E,4E,6E,8E)-9-(4-methoxy-2,3,6- trimethyl)phenyl-3,7-dimethyl-nona-2,4,6,8-tetraenoic acid, is a second generation retinoid a roved by USFDA in 1996, for the treatment of psoriasis.

Acitretin (I)

The process for preparation of acitretin (I) was first disclosed in US 4,105,681 wherein the intermediate, 5-(4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylphenyl)-3-methyl-penta-2,4-diene-l-triphenyl phosphonium bromide was reacted with 3-formyl-crotonic acid butyl ester in presence of sodium hydride as base and dimethylformamide as solvent. The resultant ester derivative was obtained with a trans is (E/Z) ratio of around 55:45 which was subjected to hydrolysis in presence of potassium hydroxide and ethyl alcohol to obtain acitretin.

Use of hazardous, highly pyrophoric and moisture sensitive reagent like sodium hydride, along with cumbersome work-up and successive crystallizations to obtain the desired isomer rendered the process unviable for commercial scale.

Indian patent application 729/MUM/2012 discloses use of organic bases such as triethyl amine or pyridine for the reaction of 3-formyl-crotonic acid butyl ester and 5-(4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylphenyl)-3-methyl-penta-2,4-diene-l -triphenyl phosphonium bromide for the synthesis of acitretin. The process utilizes a large excess of the organic base (2.85:1.0) with respect to the reactant phosphonium bromide derivative. Further, there is no mention of the ratio of cis and trans geometric isomers of the product thus obtained either at the intermediate or final stage. The trans: cis (E/Z) ratio of the intermediate significantly impacts the final yield and purity of the product as several purifications and crystallizations are required to obtain the desired trans isomer.

The present inventors have experimentally observed that use of organic base in such large quantities severely hampers the removal of the undesired side product triphenyl phosphonium oxide formed in significant amounts. Also, the intermediate is obtained with a very modest trans: cis (E/Z) ratio.

WO2012/155796 discloses another method wherein alkali metal alkoxides are used as bases in the reaction of 5-(4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylphenyl)-3 -methyl -penta-2,4-diene-l -triphenyl phosphonium bromide with 3-formyl-crotonic acid. The obtained reaction mass, after adjusting pH to 7-8 with acid, is directly subjected to catalytic isomerization using catalysts such as Pd(OAc)₂ or Pd(NH₃)₂Cl_2. The reaction mixture so obtained is quenched with water, neutralized and filtered to get the desired product, which is further recrystallized from ethyl acetate. Although this procedure avoids the hydrolysis step and attempts in-situ isomerization, however the use of expensive, soluble palladium catalyst which cannot be recycled from the reaction mass coupled with lengthy reaction time of 25-30 hours and large solvent volumes make the process unviable.

It may be noted that in the synthesis of acitretin, the key reaction of 5-(4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylphenyl)-3 -methyl-penta-2 ,4-diene- 1 -triphenylphosphoniumbromide with 3 -formyl crotonic acid or its ester in presence of either strong inorganic bases such as sodium hydride, alkali metal alkoxides or organic bases like triethylamine is common to almost all synthetic routes disclosed in the prior art. Hence, all these routes suffer from the inherent problems of formation of undesired impurities including cis-isomeric compounds and their separation from the desired all-trans product which necessitates various purification methods ranging from column chromatography, multiple crystallizations etc.

Thus, there still exists a need for a convenient, easy-to-scale up process for synthesis of acitretin (I) which avoids use of pyrophoric strong bases and provides a robust method which affords acitretin having desired isomeric purity in high yield.

long period of time, there is a problem with secretion of insulin in diabetes is a problem with the function of insulin, or the two compounds problems of the disease that is to say maintaining a high blood sugar. Insulin helps the one that sends glucose into cells in order to replace the nutrients such as glucose that is in a hormone secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas blood into energy. However, if there is insufficient action of insulin, glucose accumulates in the blood does not enter the cell and cause the muscles and blood sugar, sugar in the urine is out. When these two long-standing high blood sugar will cause a number of microvascular complications. Not cut due to such complications, such as may result in blindness.

Scheme-II

In another embodiment the present disclosure provides a process for the preparation of sofosbuvir as shown in below scheme-Ill.

Example 3: Preparation of sofosbuvir (formula 1).

N-Benzoyl Sofosbuvir (6 g) was added to 70% w/w aqueous acetic acid (90 mL) and the contents were stirred at 90-95 °C. After completion of the reaction, which was monitored by qualitative HPLC, the reaction mass was cooled to ambient temperature, diluted with water and filtered through a Hyflo filter. Thereafter, obtained filtrate was extracted with ethyl acetate which was further washed with ~4%w/w aqueous hydrochloric acid followed by ~9%w/w aqueous sodium carbonate solution. Finally, the ethyl acetate layer was washed with water and dried. The dried layer was concentrated under reduced pressure at 60-65 °C. Thereafter, the concentrated mass was dissolved in a mixture of 5% isopropanol in methylene dichloride and isopropyl ether was added to precipitate the product. After stirring at 0-5 °C for 2 hours, the product was filtered, washed with methylene dichloride/isopropyl ether mixture, which was recrystallized with methylene dichloride/isopropyl ether mixture to yield sofosbuvir as white crystals (3 g)……https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=WO2015097605&recNum=1&maxRec=&office=&prevFilter=&sortOption=&queryString=&tab=PCTDescription

Sovaldi is indicated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis-C infection as a component of a combination antiviral treatment

Pharma giant Mylan NV today said its subsidiary Mylan Pharmaceuticals has launched Gilead Sciences’ Sovaldi (sofosbuvir 400mg tablets) in the country.

Sovaldi is indicated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis-C infection as a component of a combination antiviral treatment.

It is estimated that around 12 million people are chronically infected with hepatitis-C in India, Mylan said in a release.

In February this year, Gilead appointed Mylan as its exclusive distributor of Sovaldi in India.

Mylan president Rajiv Malik said they have a history of partnering with Gilead to tackle key public health issues in India and around the world, beginning with expanding access to high quality and affordable HIV/AIDS antiretrovirals.

“We are proud to continue our work together with the launch of Sovaldi as it supports our joint commitment to meeting the unmet medical needs of patients in India,” Malik said.

Gregg Alton, Executive Vice-President, Corporate and Medical Affairs, Gilead Sciences said it makes an important milestone in the company’s ongoing effort to make its hepatitis-C medicines accessible to as many patients, in as many places, as quickly as possible.Sovaldi is sold by Mylan’s dedicated sales force as part of its Hepato Care segment.
