- Practical and Scalable Manufacturing Process for a Novel Dual-Acting Serotonergic Antidepressant Vilazodone
-
Vilazodone combines the effects of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor with the 5-HT1A receptor partial agonist activity. Here, we report the development of a viable and scalable process for manufacturing vilazodone that features a convergent synthetic approach, with low cost and high purity. The key indole synthesis was improved to first make up the hydrazone intermediate and then modify a pendant hydroxy group to realize a much increased overall yield. This process was successfully used to prepare >2 kg of vilazodone hydrochloride with a total yield of 56.2% and purity of 99.93%.

- Allosteric IGF-1R inhibitors
-
Targeting allosteric protein sites is a promising approach to interfere selectively with cellular signaling cascades. We have discovered a novel class of allosteric insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-1R) inhibitors. 3-Cyano-1H-indole-7-carboxylic acid {1-[4-(5-cyano-1H-indol-3-yl)butyl] piperidin-4-yl}amide (10) was found with nanomolar biochemical, micromolar, cellular IGF-1R activity and no relevant interference with cellular insulin receptor signaling up to 30 ?M. The allosteric binding site was characterized by X-ray crystallographic studies, and the structural information was used to explain the unique mode of action of this new class of inhibitors.

- Continuous Flow Process for Reductive Deoxygenation of ω-Chloroketone in the Synthesis of Vilazodone
-
A continuous flow process for the reductive deoxygenation of 3-(4-chlorobutanoyl)-1H-indole-5-carbonitrile to 3-(4-chlorobutyl)-1H-indole-5-carbonitrile was developed using a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) setup. The opportunity for process optimization as well as scale-up feasibility was investigated at a laboratory scale. Advantages of a continuous process such as increased product yield, minimized impurity formation, enhanced safety, and increased overall purity of the isolated material thereby avoiding a purification step were demonstrated. Both sodium borohydride and a borane·THF complex were explored as reducing agents in conjunction with iron trichloride which produced high purity 3-(4-chlorobutyl)-1H-indole-5-carbonitrile not requiring further purification in higher yield than the standard batch process.

- A NaH-promoted N-detosylation reaction of diverse p-toluenesulfonamides
-
A NaH-mediated detosylation reaction of various Ts-protected indoles, azaheterocycles, anilines and dibenzylamine was reported. The method features cheap reagent, convenient operations, mild reaction conditions and broad substrate scope. Moreover, this study revealed that the loading of NaH in tosylation reactions of nitrogen-containing compounds with NaH as a base in DMA or DMF should be controlled due to the possibility of adverse detosylation.

- An investigation of the synthesis of vilazodone
-
A novel synthetic route toward vilazodone is described by using 4-cyanoaniline and 5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde as starting materials, with an overall yield of 24% and 99% purity. First, the intermediate (3-(4-chlorobutyl)-1H-indole-5-carbonitrile) is synthesized via diazotization of 4-cyanoaniline, followed by Fischer indole cyclization with 6-chlorohexanal. Subsequently, another intermediate, 5-(piperazin-1-yl)benzofuran-2-carboxamide, is generated via aromatic nucleophilic substitution of 5-bromobenzofuran-2-carboxamide with piperazine. Finally, vilazodone is obtained via nucleophilic substitution of the above two key intermediates by treatment with Et3N/K2CO3. In comparison to the original process, this route avoids the use of expensive and toxic reagents and resolves issues such as safety, environmental concerns, and high costs.

- Synthesis and structure-activity relationship in a class of indolebutylpiperazines as dual 5-HT1A receptor agonists and serotonin reuptake inhibitors
-
Systematic structural modifications of indolealkylphenylpiperazines led to improved selectivity and affinity within this class of 5-HT1A receptor agonists. Introduction of electron-withdrawing groups in position 5 on the indole raises serotonin transporter affinity, and the cyano group proved to be the best substituent here. 5-Fluoro and 5-cyano substituted indoles show comparable results in in vitro and in vivo tests, and bioisosterism between these substituents was supported by calculation of the molecular electrostatic potentials and dipole moments. Compounds showing promising in vitro data were further examined in ex vivo (p-chloroamphetamine assay) and in vivo (ultrasonic vocalization) tests. Optimization of the arylpiperazine moiety indicated that the 5-benzofuranyl-2-carboxamide was best suited to increase 5-HT transporter and 5-HT1A receptor affinity and to suppress D2 receptor binding. 5-{4-[4-(5-Cyano-3-indolyl)butyl]-1-piperazinyl}benzofuran-2- carboxamide 29 (vilazodone, EMD 68843) was identified as a highly selective 5-HT1A receptor agonist [GTPγS, ED50 = 1.1 nM] with subnanomolar 5-HT1A affinity [IC50 = 0.2 nM] and as a subnanomolar 5-HT reuptake inhibitor [RUI = 0.5 nM] showing a great selectivity to other GPCRs (e.g., D2, IC50 = 666 nM).
