- Manufacturing Development and Genotoxic Impurity Control Strategy of the Hedgehog Pathway Inhibitor Vismodegib
-
The development work toward the robust and efficient manufacturing process to vismodegib, the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in Erivedge, is described. The optimization of the four-stage manufacturing process was designed to produce the API with the required critical quality attributes: (1) the selective catalytic hydrogenation reduction of the nitro compound 3 to the corresponding aniline 4 while minimizing the formation of potential genotoxic (mutagenic) impurities; (2) the control of the polymorphic phase and multipoint specification for particle size distribution.

- GDC-0449-A potent inhibitor of the hedgehog pathway
-
SAR for a wide variety of heterocyclic replacements for a benzimidazole led to the discovery of functionalized 2-pyridyl amides as novel inhibitors of the hedgehog pathway. The 2-pyridyl amides were optimized for potency, PK, and drug-like properties by modifications to the amide portion of the molecule resulting in 31 (GDC-0449). Amide 31 produced complete tumor regression at doses as low as 12.5 mg/kg BID in a medulloblastoma allograft mouse model that is wholly dependent on the Hh pathway for growth and is currently in human clinical trials, where it is initially being evaluated for the treatment of BCC.

- Preparation and biological activity of new substituted antimalarial diaminodiphenylsulfones
-
Starting from 4,4'-diamino-diphenylsulfone (DDS) as a lead structure, new 2-substituted analogues as well as new 2-substituted 4-alkylamino-4'-amino diphenylsulfones have been designed and synthesized in different ways. This has led to compounds the inhibitory activity of which against 7,8-dihydropteroic acid synthase of plasmodia and mycobacteria is clearly superior to that of sulfadoxine and in most cases to that of DDS. Of special interest is 4'-amino-4-n-propylamino-2-methyl-diphenylsulfone. Together with inhibitors of 7,8-dihydrofolate reductase in vitro and in vivo it possesses a marked synergistic inhibitory activity against plasmodia. In contrast to DDS in doses up to 200 mg/kg p.o. (cat) no methemoglobin formation is observed. The compound has been selected for further studies.

- Process for the production of nitro derivatives of aromatic compounds
-
Nitroderivates of aromatic compounds which are difficult to nitrate, can readily be obtained by nitration providing that the aromatic compound is treated with nitric acid or another nitrating agent in the presence of aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons monosubstituted or polysubstituted by halogen, the nitro group or an alkyl sulphonyl group, and the nitro derivative formed subsequently isolated.
