Influenza spreads around the world in seasonal epidemics, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands annually – millions in pandemic years. For example, three influenza pandemics occurred in the 20th century and killed tens of millions of people, with each of these pandemics being caused by the appearance of a new strain of the virus in humans. Often, these new strains result from the spread of an existing influenza virus to humans from other animal species.

Influenza is primarily transmitted from person to person via large virus-laden droplets that are generated when infected persons cough or sneeze; these large droplets can then settle on the mucosal surfaces of the upper respiratory tracts of susceptible individuals who are near (e.g. within about 6 feet) infected persons. Transmission might also occur through direct contact or indirect contact with respiratory secretions, such as touching surfaces contaminated with influenza virus and then touching the eyes, nose or mouth. Adults might be able to spread influenza to others from 1 day before getting symptoms to approximately 5 days after symptoms start. Young children and persons with weakened immune systems might be infectious for 10 or more days after onset of symptoms. [00103] Influenza viruses are RNA viruses of the family Orthomyxoviridae, which comprises five genera: Influenza virus A, Influenza virus B, Influenza virus C, Isavirus and Thogoto virus.

The Influenza virus A genus has one species, influenza A virus. Wild aquatic birds are the natural hosts for a large variety of influenza A. Occasionally, viruses are transmitted to other species and may then cause devastating outbreaks in domestic poultry or give rise to human influenza pandemics. The type A viruses are the most virulent human pathogens among the three influenza types and cause the most severe disease. The influenza A virus can be subdivided into different serotypes based on the antibody response to these viruses. The serotypes that have been confirmed in humans, ordered by the number of known human pandemic deaths, are: HlNl (which caused Spanish influenza in 1918), H2N2 (which caused Asian Influenza in 1957), H3N2 (which caused Hong Kong Flu in 1968), H5N1 (a pandemic threat in the 2007-08 influenza season), H7N7 (which has unusual zoonotic potential), H1N2 (endemic in humans and pigs), H9N2, H7N2 , H7N3 and H10N7. [00105] The Influenza virus B genus has one species, influenza B virus. Influenza B almost exclusively infects humans and is less common than influenza A. The only other animal known to be susceptible to influenza B infection is the seal. This type of influenza mutates at a rate 2-3 times slower than type A and consequently is less genetically diverse, with only one influenza B serotype. As a result of this lack of antigenic diversity, a degree of immunity to influenza B is usually acquired at an early age. However, influenza B mutates enough that lasting immunity is not possible. This reduced rate of antigenic change, combined with its limited host range (inhibiting cross species antigenic shift), ensures that pandemics of influenza B do not occur.

The Influenza virus C genus has one species, influenza C virus, which infects humans and pigs and can cause severe illness and local epidemics. However, influenza C is less common than the other types and usually seems to cause mild disease in children. [00107] Influenza A, B and C viruses are very similar in structure. The virus particle is 80-120 nanometers in diameter and usually roughly spherical, although filamentous forms can occur. Unusually for a virus, its genome is not a single piece of nucleic acid; instead, it contains seven or eight pieces of segmented negative-sense RNA. The Influenza A genome encodes 11 proteins: hemagglutinin (HA), neuraminidase (NA), nucleoprotein (NP), Ml, M2, NSl, NS2(NEP), PA, PBl, PB1-F2 and PB2.

HA and NA are large glycoproteins on the outside of the viral particles. HA is a lectin that mediates binding of the virus to target cells and entry of the viral genome into the target cell, while NA is involved in the release of progeny virus from infected cells, by cleaving sugars that bind the mature viral particles. Thus, these proteins have been targets for antiviral drugs. Furthermore, they are antigens to which antibodies can be raised. Influenza A viruses are classified into subtypes based on antibody responses to HA and NA, forming the basis of the H and N distinctions (vide supra) in, for example, H5N1. [00109] Influenza produces direct costs due to lost productivity and associated medical treatment, as well as indirect costs of preventative measures. In the United States, influenza is responsible for a total cost of over $10 billion per year, while it has been estimated that a future pandemic could cause hundreds of billions of dollars in direct and indirect costs. Preventative costs are also high. Governments worldwide have spent billions of U.S. dollars preparing and planning for a potential H5N1 avian influenza pandemic, with costs associated with purchasing drugs and vaccines as well as developing disaster drills and strategies for improved border controls.

Current treatment options for influenza include vaccination, and chemotherapy or chemoprophylaxis with anti-viral medications. Vaccination against influenza with an influenza vaccine is often recommended for high-risk groups, such as children and the elderly, or in people that have asthma, diabetes, or heart disease. However, it is possible to get vaccinated and still get influenza. The vaccine is reformulated each season for a few specific influenza strains but cannot possibly include all the strains actively infecting people in the world for that season. It takes about six months for the manufacturers to formulate and produce the millions of doses required to deal with the seasonal epidemics; occasionally, a new or overlooked strain becomes prominent during that time and infects people although they have been vaccinated (as by the H3N2 Fujian flu in the 2003-2004 influenza season). It is also possible to get infected just before vaccination and get sick with the very strain that the vaccine is supposed to prevent, as the vaccine takes about two weeks to become effective. [00111] Further, the effectiveness of these influenza vaccines is variable. Due to the high mutation rate of the virus, a particular influenza vaccine usually confers protection for no more than a few years. A vaccine formulated for one year may be ineffective in the following year, since the influenza virus changes rapidly over time, and different strains become dominant.

Also, because of the absence of RNA proofreading enzymes, the RNA- dependent RNA polymerase of influenza vRNA makes a single nucleotide insertion error roughly every 10 thousand nucleotides, which is the approximate length of the influenza vRNA. Hence, nearly every newly-manufactured influenza virus is a mutant — antigenic drift. The separation of the genome into eight separate segments of vRNA allows mixing or reassortment of vRNAs if more than one viral line has infected a single cell. The resulting rapid change in viral genetics produces antigenic shifts and allows the virus to infect new host species and quickly overcome protective immunity.

Antiviral drugs can also be used to treat influenza, with neuraminidase inhibitors being particularly effective, but viruses can develop resistance to the standard antiviral drugs.

A scalable, asymmetric route for the synthesis of the influenza virus replication inhibitor 2 is presented. The key steps include an enzymatic desymmetrization of cis-1,3-cyclohexanediester in 99% yield and 96% ee, S_NAr displacement of a methanesulfinylpyrimidine, and a Curtius rearrangement to form a morpholinyl urea. This high-yielding route allowed us to rapidly synthesize hundreds of grams of 2 in 99% purity to support in vivo studies.

About Influenza

Often called “the flu,” seasonal influenza is caused by influenza viruses, which infect the respiratory tract.¹ The flu can result in seasonal epidemics² and can produce severe disease and high mortality in certain populations, such as the elderly.³ Each year, on average 5 to 20 percent of the U.S. population gets the flu⁴ resulting in more than 200,000 flu-related hospitalizations and 36,000 deaths.⁵The overall national economic burden of influenza-attributable illness for adults is $83.3 billion.⁵ Direct medical costs for influenza in adults totaled $8.7 billion including $4.5 billion for adult hospitalizations resulting from influenza-attributable illness.⁵ The treatment of the flu consists of antiviral medications that have been shown in clinical studies to shorten the disease and reduce the severity of symptoms if taken within two days of infection.⁶ There is a significant need for new medicines targeting flu that provide a wider treatment window, greater efficacy and faster onset of action.

Potent dual ABL/SRC inhibitors based on a 7-azaindole core with the aim of developing compds. that demonstrate a wider activity on selected oncogenic kinases. Multi-Targeted Kinase Inhibitors (MTKIs) were then derived, focusing on kinases involved in both angiogenesis and tumorigenesis processes.

Dysfunction/deregulation of protein kinases (PK) is the cause of a large number of pathologies including oncological, immunological, neurological, metabolic and infectious diseases. This has generated considerable interest in the development of small molecules and biological kinase inhibitors for the treatment of these disorders.

Numerous PK are particularly deregulated during the process of tumorigenesis. Consequently protein kinases are attractive targets for anticancer drugs, including small molecule inhibitors that usually act to block the binding of ATP or substrate to the catalytic domain of the tyrosine kinase and monoclonal antibodies that specifically target receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) and their ligands. In solid malignancies, it is unusual for a single kinase abnormality to be the sole cause of disease and it is unlikely that tumors are dependent on only one abnormally activated signaling pathway. Instead multiple signaling pathways are dysregulated. Furthermore, even single molecular abnormalities may have multiple downstream effects. Multi targeted therapy using a single molecule (MTKI = “Multi-Targeted Kinase Inhibitors”) which targets several signaling pathways simultaneously, is more effective than single targeted therapy. Single targeted therapies have shown activity for only a few indications and most solid tumors show deregulation of multiple signaling pathways. For example, the combination of a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) inhibitor and platelet derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) inhibitor results in a cumulative antitumor efficacy (Potapova et al, Mol Cancer Ther 5, 1280-1289, 2006).

Tumors are not built up solely of tumor cells. An important part consists of connective tissue or stroma, made up of stromal cells and extracellular matrix, which is produced by these cells. Examples of stromal cells are fibroblasts, endothelial cells and macrophages. Stromal cells also play an important role in the carcinogenesis, where they are characterized by upregulation or induction of growth factors and their receptors, adhesion molecules, cytokines, chemokines and proteolytic enzymes (Hofmeister et al., Immunotherapy 57, 1-17, 2007; Raman et al, Cancer Letters 256, 137-165, 2007; Fox et al, The Lancet Oncology 2, 278-289, 2001) The receptor associated tyrosine kinase VEGFR on endothelial and tumor cells play a central role in the promotion of cancer by their involvement in angiogenesis (Cebe-Suarez et al, Cell Mol Life Sci 63, 601-615, 2006). In addition, the growth factors TGF-β, PDGF and FGF2 secreted by cancer cells transform normal fibroblasts into tumor associated fibroblasts, which make their receptors a suitable target for inhibition by kinase inhibitors (Raman et al, 2007).

Moreover, increasing evidence suggests a link between the EGF receptor (EGFR) and HER2 pathways and VEGF-dependent angiogenesis and preclinical studies have shown both direct and indirect angiogenic effects of EGFR signaling (Pennell and Lynch, The Oncologist 14, 399-411, 2009). Upregulation of tumor pro -angiogenic factors and EGFR- independent tumor-induced angiogenesis have been suggested as a potential mechanism by which tumor cells might overcome EGFR inhibition. The major signaling pathways regulated by EGFR activation are the PI3K, MAPK and Stat pathways that lead to increased cell proliferation, angiogenesis, inhibition of apoptosis and cell cycle progression. EGFR is overexpressed in a wide variety of solid tumors, such as lung, breast, colorectal and cancers of the head and neck (Cook and Figg, CA Cancer J Clin 60, 222-243 2010). Furthermore, higher expression of EGFR has been shown to be associated with metastasis, decreased survival and poor prognosis.

c-Src, a membrane-associated non receptor tyrosine kinase, is involved in a number of important signal transduction pathways and has pleiotropic effects on cellular function. c-Src integrates and regulates signaling from multiple transmembrane receptor-associated tyrosine kinases, such as the EGFR, PDGFR, IGF1R, VEGFR, HER2. Together, these actions modulate cell survival, proliferation, differentiation, angiogenesis, cell motility, adhesion, and invasion (Brunton and Frame, Curr Opin Pharmacol 8, 427-432, 2008). Overexpression of the protein c-Src as well as the increase in its activity were observed in several types of cancers including colorectal, gastrointestinal (hepatic, pancreatic, gastric and oesophageal), breast, ovarian and lung (Yeatman, Nat Rev Cancer 4, 470-480, 2004).

The activation in EGFR or KRAS in cancers leads to a greatly enhanced level of Ras- dependent Raf activation. Hence, elimination of Raf function is predicted to be an effective treatment for the numerous cancers initiated with EGFR and KRAS lesions (Khazak et al, Expert Opin. Ther. Targets 11, 1587-1609, 2007). Besides activation of Raf signaling in tumors, a number of studies implicate the activation of the Ras-Raf-MAPK signaling pathway as a critical step in vasculo genesis and angiogenesis. Such activation is induced by growth factor receptors such as VEGFR2, FGFR2 and thus inhibition of Raf activation represents a legitimate target for modulation of tumor angiogenesis and vascularization.

Although VEGFR, PDGFR, EGFR, c-Src and Raf are important targets on both tumor cells and tumor stroma cells, other kinases such as FGFR only function in stromal cells and other oncogenes often only function in tumor cells.

Protein kinases are fundamental components of diverse signaling pathways, including immune cells. Their essential functions have made them effective therapeutic targets. Initially, the expectation was that a high degree of selectivity would be critical; however, with time, the use of “multikinase” inhibitors has expanded. Moreover, the spectrum of diseases in which kinase inhibitors are used has also expanded to include not only malignancies but also immune-mediated diseases / inflammatory diseases. The first step in signaling by multi-chain immune recognition receptors is mediated initially by Src family protein tyrosine kinases. MTKI targeting kinases involved in immune function are potential drugs for autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and inflammatory bowel diseases (Kontzias et al. , F 1000 Medicine Reports 4, 2012)

Protein kinases mentioned previously are also key components of many other physiological and pathological mechanisms such as neurodegeneration and neuroprotection (Chico et al, Nature Reviews Drug Discovery 8, 892-909, 2009), atherosclerosis, osteoporosis and bone resorption, macular degeneration, pathologic fibrosis, Cystogenesis (human autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease…).

In WO2010/092489 and related patents/patent applications, we identified several compounds which exhibited interesting properties for such applications. However, we have discovered that some of these compounds could be enhanced in their properties by selectively working on particular regions of their structures. However, the mechanism of action of these structures on kinases was not precisely elucidated at the time of WO2010/092489’s filing and thus it was unexpectedly that we found the high activities of the structures disclosed in the present application. The subject matter of the present invention is to offer novel multi-targeted kinase inhibitors, having an original backbone, which can be used therapeutically in the treatment of pathologies associated with deregulation of protein kinases including tumorigenesis, human immune disorders, inflammatory diseases, thrombotic diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, bone diseases, macular degeneration, fibrosis, cystogenesis. The inhibitors of the present invention can be used in particular for the treatment of numerous cancers and more particularly in the case of liquid tumors such hematological cancers (leukemias) or solid tumors including but not limited to squamous cell cancer, small- cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, glial cell tumors such as glioblastoma and neurofibromatosis, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, liver cancer, bladder cancer, breast cancer, melanoma, colorectal cancer, endometrial carcinoma, salivary gland carcinoma, renal cancer, prostate cancer, vulval cancer, thyroid cancer, sarcomas, astrocytomas, and various types of hyperproliferative diseases.

Efforts were made to improve a series of potent dual ABL/SRC inhibitors based on a 7-azaindole core with the aim of developing compounds that demonstrate a wider activity on selected oncogenic kinases. Multi-targeted kinase inhibitors (MTKIs) were then derived, focusing on kinases involved in both angiogenesis and tumorigenesis processes. Antiproliferative activity studies using different cellular models led to the discovery of a lead candidate (6z) that combined both antiangiogenic and antitumoral effects. The activity of 6z was assessed against a panel of kinases and cell lines including solid cancers and leukemia cell models to explore its potential therapeutic applications. With its potency and selectivity for oncogenic kinases, 6z was revealed to be a focused MTKI that should have a bright future in fighting a wide range of cancers.

Compounds useful for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases associated with lnterleukin-1 Receptor Associated Kinase (IRAK) and more particularly compounds that modulate the function of IRAK4.

Protein kinases are families of enzymes that catalyze the phosphorylation of specific residues in proteins, broadly classified in tyrosine and serine/threonine kinases. Inappropriate activity arising from dysregulation of certain kinases by a variety of mechanisms is believed to underlie the causes of many diseases, including but not limited to, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, allergies, asthma, respiratory diseases, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, bone diseases, metabolic disorders, and neurological and neurodegenerative diseases. As such, potent and selective inhibitors of kinases are sought as potential treatments for a variety of human diseases.

There is considerable interest in targeting the innate immune system in the treatment of autoimmune diseases and sterile inflammation. Receptors of the innate immune system provide the first line of defense against bacterial and viral insults. These receptors recognize bacterial and viral products as well as pro-inflammatory cytokines and thereby initiate a signaling cascade that ultimately results in the up-regulation of inflammatory cytokines such as TNFa, IL6, and interferons. Recently it has become apparent that self-generated ligands such as nucleic acids and products of inflammation such as high-mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) and Advanced Glycated End-products (AGE) are ligands for Toll-like receptors (TLRs) which are key receptors of the innate immune system (O’Neill 2003, Kanzler et al 2007, Wagner 2006). This demonstrates the role of TLRs in the initiation and perpetuation of inflammation due to autoimmunity.

lnterleukin-1 receptor associated kinase 4 (I RAK4) is a ubiquitously expressed serine/threonine kinase involved in the regulation of innate immunity (Suzuki & Saito 2006). IRAK4 is responsible for initiating signaling from TLRs and members of the I L- 1/18 receptor family. Kinase-inactive knock-ins and targeted deletions of IRAK4 in mice were reported to cause reductions in TLR and IL-1 induced pro-inflammatory cytokines (Kawagoe et al 2007; Fraczek et al. 2008; Kim et al. 2007). IRAK4 kinase-dead knock-in mice have also been shown to be resistant to induced joint inflammation in the antigen-induced-arthritis (AIA) and serum transfer-induced (K/BxN) arthritis models (Koziczak-Holbro 2009). Likewise, humans deficient in IRAK4 also appear to display the inability to respond to challenge by Toll ligands and IL-1 (Hernandez & Bastian 2006). However, the immunodeficient phenotype of IRAK4-null individuals is narrowly restricted to challenge by gram positive bacteria, but not gram negative bacteria, viruses or fungi. This gram positive sensitivity also lessens with age, implying redundant or compensating mechanisms for innate immunity in the absence of IRAK4 (Lavine et al 2007).

These data indicate that inhibitors of IRAK4 kinase activity should have therapeutic value in treating cytokine driven autoimmune diseases while having minimal immunosuppressive side effects. Additional recent studies suggest that targeting IRAK4 may be useful in other inflammatory pathologies such as atherosclerosis and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (Rekhter et al 2008; Ngo et al 2011). Therefore, inhibitors of IRAK4 kinase activity are potential therapeutics for a wide variety of diseases including but not limited to autoimmunity, inflammation, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and metabolic diseases.

This mixture was heated to about 50 °C for over night. The reaction mixture was cooled to about 25 °C, diluted with EtOAc (50 L) and filtered through a plug of Celite®. The solid was thoroughly washed with EtOAc (10 L X 3). The combined EtOAc filtrates were poured into water. After stirring for about 30 min, the EtOAc layer was separated and it was further washed sequentially with water, 1 M NaOH and brine. The EtOAc layer was separated, dried over Na₂S0₄, filtered and concentrated to provide the title compound C1. Yield: 11750 g (98%).

Step 2. Synthesis of (4-iodo-3-methoxyphenyl)methanol (CAS 244257-61-2, C2).

To a solution of compound C1 (11750 g, 40.2 moles) in THF (35 L) was added NaBH₄ (7645 g, 201.09 moles) and refluxed. While refluxing, MeOH (25 L) was slowly added into the reaction mixture at a rate of about 1 L per hour. After completion of the reaction, it was poured into a solution of cold dilute HCI. Once the excess of NaBH₄was quenched, the solution was filtered and extracted with EtOAc (2.5 L X 3). The combined EtOAc extracts were washed sequentially with water, brine and dried over Na₂S0₄. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the resulting crude material was treated with MTBE. The resulting solid was filtered and filtrate was washed with water, brine, dried over Na₂S0 , and filtered. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to provide the title compound C2. Yield: 9900 g (93%).

Step 3. Synthesis of 4-iodo-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (CAS 121404-83-9, C3).

To a solution of compound C2 (9900 g, 34.5 moles) in CHCI₃ (186 L), was added manganese dioxide (18000 g, 207 moles) and the resulting mixture was refluxed for about 16 h. The mixture was cooled to about 25 °C and filtered through a Celite pad, which was then washed thoroughly with CHCI₃. The CHCI₃ was evaporated under reduced pressure to provide the title compound C3. Yield: 9330 g (95%). ¹ H NMR (400 MHz, CDCI₃): δ 9.95 (s, 1 H), 7.99 (d, 1 H), 7.14 (dd, 1 H), 3.95 (s, 3 H).

Step 3. Synthesis of 6-iodo-7-methoxyisoquinoline (CAS 244257-63-4. C4).

To a solution of compound C3 (9300 g, 35 moles) in toluene (60 L) was added amino acetaldehyde dimethyl acetal (5590 g, 53 moles) and the mixture was refluxed for about 4 h, while removing the liberated water by the use of a Dean – Stark water separator. The reaction mixture was cooled to about 0 °C, after which trifluoroacetic anhydride (22305 g, 106 moles) followed by BF₃-Et₂0 (15080 g, 106 moles) were added, keeping internal temperature below 5 °C. The reaction mixture was stirred at about 25 °C for about 16 h and quenched by pouring into a mixture of ice and ammonium hydroxide. The product was extracted with EtOAc (10 L X 3), and the combined EtOAc extracts were washed sequentially with water and brine. The combined EtOAc extracts were dried over Na₂S0₄, filtered, and concentrated to afford a dark tan colored residue. This was treated with a mixture of MTBE and hexane (1 :1 v/v, 30 L), followed by 6 M HCI (9 L), with stirring. The precipitated solid was filtered and washed with MTBE. The solid was suspended in EtOAc (5 L) and made alkaline with ammonium hydroxide. The EtOAc layer was separated, washed with brine, dried over Na₂S0₄, filtered, and concentrated to afford crude compound C4 as a brown solid. HPLC (230 nm) showed it to be about 83% pure.

The crude material (1000 g) was taken in AcOH (2.5 L) and stirred for about 90 min at about 25 °C. The solid was filtered and washed with AcOH (500 ml_). The filtrate was neutralized with saturated aqueous Na₂C0₃ solution. The resulting precipitated solid was filtered, washed with water (4 L), and oven dried at about 70 – 75 °C for about 5 h to afford about 780 g of pure C4. Similarly, the remaining crude C4 (4 kg) was purified to provide the title compound C4. Yield: 4300 g (42%). ¹H NMR (400 MHz, CDCI₃): δ 9.15 (s, 1 H), 8.45 (d, 1 H), 8.35 (s, 1 H), 7.45 (d, 1 H), 7.15 (s, 1 H) 4.00 (s, 3 H).

Step 4. Synthesis of 7-methoxyisoquinoline-6-carbonitrile (C5).

To a solution of compound C4 (4300 g , 15 moles) in DMSO (39 L) was added copper(l) cyanide (2954 g, 33 moles) and the mixture was heated to about 120 °C for about 3 h. The reaction mixture was quenched by pouring into a mixture of ice and ammonium hydroxide (40 L) and filtered. The filtrate was extracted with EtOAc (10 L X 2). While stirring, the solid residue was again treated with ammonium hydroxide solution (10 L) and EtOAc (10 L). After filtration, the precipitated material was repeatedly washed with a mixture of MeOH and CHCI₃ (1 :9, v/v) several times and the combined extracts were washed with brine. The extracts were dried over Na₂S0₄, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting crude material was triturated with hexane to provide the title compound C5. Yield: 2250 g (87%). ¹H NMR (400 MHz, CDCI₃): δ 9.25 (br. s, 1 H), 8.55 (br. s, 1 H), 8.15 (s, 1 H), 7.60 (d, 1 H), 7.30 (s, 1 H), 4.05 (s, 3 H).

A solution of a reactant such as 1-(((2S,3S,4S)-3-ethyl-4-fluoro-5-oxopyrrolidin-2-yl)methoxy)-7-methoxyisoquinoline-6-carbonitrile (200 mg, 0.5 mmol) in concentrated H₂SO₄ (1.5 ml.) was warmed to about 55 °C for about two hours, then cooled to about 20 °C. The reaction mixture was added dropwise with vigorous stirring to 7.3 ml_ of ice cold concentrated ammonium hydroxide with cooling in ice. The precipitated solid was filtered and washed with water, heptane, ether, and dried under vacuum. The residue may be used directly for subsequent work, or it may be purified by chromatography or HPLC.

Sirona Biochem’s SGLT Inhibitor Performs Better Than Johnson and Johnson’s SGLT Inhibitor, According to Study

Vancouver, British Columbia – December 7, 2012 – Sirona Biochem Corp. (TSX-V: SBM), announced its sodium glucose transporter (SGLT) inhibitor for Type 2 diabetes reduced blood glucose more effectively than Johnson and Johnson’s canagliflozin, an advanced SGLT inhibitor being considered for market approval in Europe and the U.S. Studies compared Sirona Biochem’s SGLT Inhibitor, SBM-TFC-039, with canagliflozin and were conducted on Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF) rats.

In the study, SBM-TFC-039 significantly and rapidly reduced blood glucose levels at a dose of 1.0 mg/kg. Six (6) hours after administration, SBM-TFC-039 reduced blood glucose by 44% compared to canagliflozin at 26%. SBM-TFC-039 also had a longer duration of effect than canagliflozin. At 36 and 48 hours after treatment, SBM-TFC-039, at a dose of 1.0 mg/kg, was still effective at reducing blood glucose, whereas canagliflozin lost its effect after 36 hours. Studies were conducted at the Institut Universitaire de Cardiologie et de Pneumologie de Québec (IUCPQ) by Principal Investigator Dr. Denis Richard, Research Chair on Obesity and Professor, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Anatomy & Physiology at Laval University.

“SGLT Inhibitors are a ground-breaking new treatment for Type 2 diabetes and these results demonstrate that SBM-TFC-039 will be a significant competitor for other SGLT Inhibitors,” said Neil Belenkie, Chief Executive Officer of Sirona Biochem. “The first SGLT Inhibitor,Forxiga™, was approved last month by the European Commission. We believe there is tremendous market potential worldwide for SGLT Inhibitors in the treatment of diabetes.”

SBM-TFC-039 is a sodium glucose transporter (SGLT) inhibitor. SGLT inhibitors are a new class of drug candidates for the treatment of diabetes. In the kidneys, SGLT inhibitors reduce the reabsorption of glucose into the bloodstream by eliminating excess glucose into the urine.

CMI 977, LDP 977

CMI 977

C16-H19-F-N2-O4

322.3341

Millennium (Originator), Taisho (Licensee)

(2S,5S)-1-[4-[5-(4-Fluorophenoxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-2-yl]-3-butynyl]-1-hydroxyurea 175212-04-1 CMI-977 is a potent 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor that intervenes in the production of leukotrienes and is presently being developed for the treatment of chronic asthma. It is a single enantiomer with an all–trans (2S,5S) configuration. Of the four isomers of CMI-977, the S,Sisomer was found to have the best biological activity and was selected for further development. The enantiomerically pure product was synthesized on a 2-kg scale from (S)-(+)-hydroxymethyl-γ-butyrolactone.

CytoMed, Inc. announced y the initiation of Phase I clinical trials for CMI-977, its orally active therapeutic product for the treatment of asthma. CMI-977 inhibits the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) cellular inflammation pathway to block the generation of leukotrienes, which play a key role in triggering bronchial asthma. The Company also announced that it has received a U.S. patent covering a number of 5-LO inhibitor compounds, including CMI-977, and their use in treating inflammatory and other disorders.
"Asthma is a chronic, persistent inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by coughing and wheezing. These symptoms are induced by the release of inflammatory mediators, including leukotrienes, from inflammatory cells in the lining of the airways," said Colin Scott, Vice President, Clinical and Regulatory Affairs of CytoMed. "CMI-977 inhibits the production of all classes of leukotrienes by inhibiting the 5-LO pathway. Preclinical studies of CMI-977 have shown similar efficacy to steroid treatment in reducing inflammation, without any evidence of the significant toxicity that has been associated with long-term use of steroids."
"CytoMed's product development strategy focuses on leveraging its expertise in molecular biology, medicinal chemistry and pharmacology to develop a broad range of product candidates," commented Thomas R. Beck, M.D., Chairman and CEO of CytoMed. "Moving our second product into the clinic is a significant step towards the Company's goal of developing a portfolio of safe and efficacious anti-inflammatory compounds." The Company's lead product, CMI-392, is currently in Phase II studies in collaboration with Stiefel Laboratories as a topical treatment for inflammation-related skin disorders.
The Phase I trial of CMI-977, which involves 56 healthy human volunteers, is being conducted at a single site. The double blind, randomized, escalating single dose study is designed to assess CMI-977's safety and tolerability.
The Company plans to complete the study in mid-1998. Over 14.6 million Americans suffer from chronic asthma. The disease is characterized by a widespread narrowing of the airways due to a contraction (spasm) of smooth muscle and overproduction of mucous, which blocks the air passages. These changes are caused by the release of spasmogens and vasoactive substances, including leukotrienes. Current long-term therapies include corticosteroids, which function by non-selectively suppressing a variety of cellular pathways that initiate inflammation. Steroids, while often effective, are associated with significant adverse side effects. CMI- 977 is a leukotriene modulator, part of a new class of drugs designed to
provide patients with a viable alternative to steroids.
CytoMed, Inc. is a growing biopharmaceutical company committed to the discovery and development of novel proprietary products for the treatment of inflammatory disease. The Company has three products in clinical or preclinical stage of development: CMI-392 in Phase II studies for the treatment of inflammatory skin disorders in collaboration with Stiefel
Laboratories; CMI-977, an orally active product in Phase I clinical trials for the treatment of asthma; and CMI-CAB-2, in late-stage preclinical development for the treatment of acute pulmonary and cardiovascular inflammation. To date, the Company has been funded primarily by investments from institutional and venture investors including Schroder Ventures, Oracle Strategic Partners, Atlas Venture, CIP Capital, BioAsia Investors, WPG Farber, Gateway Ventures, HealthCare Ventures and New York Life Insurance.

PAPER

A practical gram scale asymmetric synthesis of CMI-977 is described. A tandem double elimination of an α-chlorooxirane and concomitant intramolecular nucleophilic substitution was used as the key step. Jacobsen hydrolytic kinetic resolution and Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation protocols were applied for the execution of the synthesis of the key chiral building block.

Enantioselective gram scale synthesis of CMI-977 has been described using the tandem sequence of α-chloroepoxide fragmentation and intramolecular nucleophilic substituion as the key step. Combinations of Jacobsen’s hydrolytic kinetic resolution and Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation were explored on the way to achieve the key intermediate.

The reaction of oxirane (I) with vinylmagnesium bromide in THF gives 1-(4-fluorophenoxy)-4-penten-2(S)-ol (II), which is treated with ethyl vinyl ether and mercuric trifluoroacetate to yield the vinyl ether (III). The cyclization of (III) by means of Grubb’s catalyst in refluxing benzene affords the dihydrofuran (IV), which is treated with benzenesulfinic acid in dichloromethane to give the sulfone (V). The reaction of (V) with the acetylenic tetrahydropyranyl ether (VI) by means of isopropylmagnesium bromide in THF yields the expected addition product (VII), which is treated with TsOH to eliminate the tetrahydropyranyl group and provide the alcohol (VIII). The condensation of (VIII) with N,O-bis (phenoxycarbonyl)hydroxylamine (IX) by means of PPh3 and DEAD in THF affords the protected carbamate derivative (X), which is finally treated with ammonia in methanol.http://www.chemdrug.com/databases/8_0_sluqxnnnfcuabcvj.html

http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?pid=S0103-50532013000200003&script=sci_arttext Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the respiratory system that results in the reduction or even the obstruction of air flow into the lungs.¹ Over the last 40 years, there have been sharp increases in the global prevalence of asthma and the mortality due to this condition. In 2006, approximately 300 million people worldwide developed asthma, and there are approximately 180,000 deaths annually.² In Brazil, asthma is the third most common cause of hospitalization in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS).³ The underdiagnosis and undertreatment of this disease have motivated the scientific community to search for new target-specific drugs to treat asthma and related respiratory diseases.⁴ The compound CMI-977 (LDP-977) (1) was discovered by Cyto-Med Inc., USA,⁵ and has been demonstrated to be a prominent candidate for the treatment of chronic asthma (Figure 1). This compound inhibits the 5-lipoxygenase pathway, thus blocking the production of leukotrienes.⁶ LDP-977 (1), containing a THF-2,5-trans-substituted ring with a (2S,5S) configuration, is orally active, and exhibits a good safety profile, a high degree of potency and excellent oral bioavailability relative to the three other stereoisomers.⁵

(2S,5S)-trans-5-[(4-Fluorophenoxy)methyl]-2-(4-N-hydroxyureidyl-1-butynyl)tetrahydrofuran, CMI-977 Over the years, several synthetic routes have been proposed for the stereoselective synthesis of the THF moiety present in CMI-977 (1) (Scheme 1).^5,7,8 Intermediate 4 was prepared by Cyto-Med Inc., USA, using the first synthetic route developed,⁵ which involved a chiral pool approach for the creation of the C9 stereogenic center (Scheme 1). A nucleophilic attack involving an oxonium electrophile intermediate, obtained from 3, produced C6, but a disappointing low degree of selectivity was observed. In a similar oxonium strategy, Ley and co-workers⁷ employed an anomeric oxygen to promote the carbon rearrangement of an alkynyltributylstannane to access the THF unit, but their reaction also exhibited low selectivity (Scheme 1). Other similar strategies have led to similar results.⁸ Gurjar et al.⁹ reported a new stereoselective approach that installs the stereocenters at C6 and C9 in 6 using both Jacobsen hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) and a Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation step (Scheme 1). The formation of a tandem propargyl alkoxide followed by intramolecular substitution resulted in the creation of the key tetrahydrofuran ring intermediate 7. Ley and co-workers¹⁰ also explored a similar tandem strategy providing the Retrosynthetic analysis of CMI-977 (LDP-977) (1) suitable intermediate 11, which in turn afforded the key fragment 7. These two new approaches were clearly Our disconnection approach began with a superior for the construction of the 2,5-anti THF unit as higher levels of diastereoselectivity were achieved. However, numerous steps are involved in these synthetic epoxide routes. In this paper, it is described our approach for the total synthesis of CMI-977 (LDP-977) (1). The biological importance of the target molecule and its structural features inspired us to devise a more concise and diastereoselective route to achieve the THF-2,5-trans ring of intermediate 7. Results and Discussion Retrosynthetic analysis of CMI-977 (LDP-977) (1) Our disconnection approach began with a long-established strategy for the insertion of the N-hydroxy urea moiety by alkylation involving acetylene 7 and epoxide 13, followed by a Mitsunobu-like reaction involving alcohol 4 and hydroxycarbamate 12 (Scheme 2).^9,10 The terminal acetylene 7 can be assembled via Seyferth-Gilbert homologation (using the Ohira-Bestmann protocol)¹¹ involving the aldehyde prepared from alcohol 14. It was intended to create the trans-THF configuration in our key fragment 14 using a Mukaiyama oxidative cyclization protocol with homoallylic alcohol 15.¹² The functional groups in fragment 15 could be installed starting from commercially available and inexpensive 4-fluorophenol 16, rac-epichlorohydrin 17 and allylbromomagnesium 18, in a strategy similar to that applied by Gurjar et al.⁹ Preparation of the key fragment 14 Our approach to the total synthesis of CMI-977 (LDP-977) (1) began with the reaction of p-fluorophenol 16 with rac-epichlorohydrin 17 in the presence of KOH, providing rac-5 in 97% yield (Scheme 3).¹³ The epoxide rac-5was resolved by hydrolytic kinetic resolution under Jacobsen conditions,¹⁴ using the catalyst (R, R)-(salen)Co^III(OAc) (19, 0.5 mol%) and H₂O (0.57 equiv) in tert-butyl methyl ether, providing (S)-5 in a 48% yield.⁹ The next step involved the epoxide ring-opening of (S)-5 with allylmagnesium bromide (18), providing homoallylic alcohol 15 in a quantitative yield (Scheme 4). The subsequent oxidative cyclization of 15 according to the Mukaiyama protocol,¹² mediated by the Co(modp)₂ (20) (30 mol%) catalyst,¹⁵ provided trans-THF 14 as the only observed diastereoisomer in an 84% yield.⁸ This approach has proven to be a powerful strategy for accessing the 2,5-trans-THF unit in a highly diastereoselective fashion. Preparation of the key fragment 4 and conclusion of the synthesis The alcohol 14 was then oxidized to aldehyde 21 under Parikh-Doering conditions, followed by Seyferth-Gilbert homologation¹⁶ using the Ohira-Bestmann reagent 22,¹¹ assembling the terminal acetylene 7 in a 75% yield over two steps (Scheme 5). The ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectra and the optical rotation of trans-THF 7 matched the reported values for this compound.⁹ Next, the treatment of 7 with n-BuLi and ethylene oxide 13 led to alcohol 4 in a 70% yield. As shown in Scheme 5, the preparation of hydroxycarbamate 26 (53% yield), followed by its acetylation using acetyl chloride 27, provided 12 in a quantitative yield. A Mitsunobu-like reaction between alcohol 4 and N-hydroxycarbamate 12 provided 23 in a 93% yield. Finally, 23 was ammonolysed with NH₃·MeOH, yielding CMI-977 as a white solid in a 38% yield. The spectral and physical data of the synthetic sample were in complete agreement with those reported in the literature.^5,7-9

Then, reduction of lactone (III) with DIBAL-H in toluene at -78 C gave lactol (IV), which was converted to silyl ether (V) by treatment with tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (TBDMS-Cl) and imidazole. Subsequent reaction of (V) with TBDMS-Br in CH2Cl2 at -78 C, followed by condensation with the lithium acetylide derived from acetylene (VI), yielded compound (VII) as a mixture of isomers. Chromatographic separation of the mixture provided the desired trans isomer, which was deprotected by treatment with tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride to give alcohol (VIII). This was then condensed with N,O-bis(phenoxycarbonyl)hydroxylamine (IX) in the presence of DIAD and Ph3P to furnish the hydroxamic acid derivative (X). Finally, concomitant deprotection of the O-phenoxycarbonyl group and substitution of the remaining phenoxy group for an amino group by treatment with methanolic ammonia in a pressure tube, provided the title compound.http://www.chemdrug.com/databases/8_0_sluqxnnnfcuabcvj.html ………………………………………………….

Discovery of the fibrinolysis inhibitor AZD6564, acting via interference of a protein – Protein interaction
ACS Med Chem Lett 2014, 5(5): 538

http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ml400526d

Abstract Image

A class of novel oral fibrinolysis inhibitors has been discovered, which are lysine mimetics containing an isoxazolone as a carboxylic acid isostere. As evidenced by X-ray crystallography the inhibitors bind to the lysine binding site in plasmin thus preventing plasmin from binding to fibrin, hence blocking the protein–protein interaction. Optimization of the series, focusing on potency in human buffer and plasma clotlysis assays, permeability, and GABAa selectivity, led to the discovery of AZD6564 (19) displaying an in vitro human plasma clot lysis IC₅₀ of 0.44 μM, no detectable activity against GABAa, and with DMPK properties leading to a predicted dose of 340 mg twice a day oral dosing in humans.
