- Development of a Scalable Enantioselective Synthesis of JAK Inhibitor Upadacitinib
-
Process development of a six-stage synthesis of upadacitinib, a JAK1 inhibitor, is described. It is highlighted by an enantioselective and diastereoselective hydrogenation of a tetrasubstituted olefin to set the two pyrrolidine stereocenters. Preparation of the main fragments and strategies to link them together, optimization of the imidazole cyclization, and in-depth understanding of the formation of the urea moiety at the final stage are discussed.

The preparation method comprises the following steps: carrying out hydrogenation reaction on a compound I-1 to obtain a compound II, and carrying out reaction on the compound II to obtain the 1-((benzyloxy)carbonyl)-4-ethylpyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid. Compared with the prior art, the synthesis method is simple in route, convenient to operate, safe and reliable; the method is environment-friendly; efficiency is high and cost is low; and the synthesis method has good chemical selectivity and enantioselectivity, and the product purity and optical purity are high. The 1-((benzyloxy)carbonyl)-4-ethylpyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid prepared by the method can be further used for preparing a compound benzyl 3-(2-bromoacetyl)-4-ethylpyrrolidine-1-formate which is an important intermediate for preparing a selective JAK1 inhibitor; and therefore, the synthetic route provided by the invention also has important significance on the production of the selective JAK1 inhibitor.

-
The invention provides a micro-channel reaction synthesis method of a key chiral intermediate (3R, 4S)-benzyl 3-(2-bromoacetyl)-4-ethyl pyrrolidinyl-1-formic ether of upatinib. The method comprises the following steps: 1) mixing an N-methyl-N-nitroso p-toluene sulfonamide solution and a potassium hydroxide aqueous solution, and then carrying out diazo reaction in a micro-channel reactor to obtain diazomethane; (2) carrying out a diazo absorption reaction on the (3R, 4S)-1-((benzyloxy) carbonyl)-4-ethyl pyrrolidine-3-formyl chloride solution and diazomethane in the micro-channel reactor; and (3) carrying out bromination reaction on the product obtained in the step (2) and a hydrobromic acid aqueous solution in a micro-channel reactor to obtain a target product. According to the microchannel reaction technology capable of realizing continuous production, diazomethane can be applied to enlarged production, the risk of diazomethane and diazo intermediates can be greatly reduced, the recarburization bromination reaction can be stably and quantitatively carried out, and the route efficiency is improved.

- Synthesis method of JAK (Janus Kinase) inhibitor
-
The invention discloses a synthesis method of a JAK (Janus Kinase) inhibitor. The synthesis method comprises the following steps: carrying out condensation on an intermediate A-8 and an intermediate B-3 to obtain an intermediate AB-1; carrying out deprotection on the intermediate AB-1 to obtain an intermediate AB-2; carrying out cyclization on the AB-2 to obtain an intermediate AB-3; carrying outthe deprotection on the intermediate AB-3 to obtain an intermediate AB-4; carrying out the deprotection on the AB-4 again to obtain an intermediate AB-5; carrying out condensation reaction on the AB-5to obtain the JAK inhibitor 1. The synthesis method disclosed by the invention has the main advantages that the intermediate A-8 is prepared through a chiral catalysis method in a high-yield and high-chiral-purity manner, and the intermediate B-3 and the JAK inhibitor 1 are prepared in a high-yield manner. Useless enantiomers are nearly not generated so that the pressure on the environment is reduced; meanwhile, the reaction yield is high, the operation is simple and the post-treatment is simple and convenient. According to the synthesis method, reaction conditions also can be applied to large-batch preparation and are suitable for industrial production, so that the synthesis method has relatively high practical value and social and economic benefits.

- Upadacitinib tartrate: Tyrosine-protein kinase JAK1 inhibitor Treatment of autoimmune inflammatory diseases Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis
-
Upadacitinib tartrate (ABT-494) is a potent and selective tyrosine-protein kinase JAK1 inhibitor being developed for the treatment of systemic autoimmune inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and psoriatic arthritis. In vitro, upadacitinib demonstrated higher selectivity for inhibiting JAK1 over JAK2 and JAK3, suggesting a potentially improved therapeutic profile in treating patients with inflammatory diseases compared to nonselective JAK inhibitors. Upadacitinib has demonstrated safety and efficacy in phase II trials in patients with RA and inflammatory bowel disease, and is currently in phase III development for these indications.
