Abstract Image
An efficient, practical, and commercially viable manufacturing process was developed with ≥99.7% purity and 31% overall yield (including four chemical reactions and one recrystallization) for an active pharmaceutical ingredient, called Metopimazine (1), an antiemetic drug used to prevent emesis during chemotherapy. The development of two in situ, one-pot methods in the present synthetic route helped to improve the overall yield of 1 (31%) compared with earlier reports (<15%). For the first time, characterization data of API (1), intermediates, and also possible impurities are presented. The key process issues and challenges were addressed effectively and achieved successfully.

Metopimazine (INN) is a phenothiazine antiemetic.
Metopimazine is an established antiemetic that has been approved and marketed for many years in Europe for the treatment of acute conditions. The compound does not cross the blood-brain-barrier, and is therefore free from central side effects, and is not associated with cardiovascular side effects
In May 2016, preclinical data were presented at the 2016 DDW in San Diego, CA. In rats, po NG-101 and domperidone did not penetrate the brain at therapeutically relevant concentrations, unlike metoclopramide. In dogs, the amplitude and frequency of antral contractions were increased by NG-101, whereas in rats, po metopimazine resulted in an increase in gastric emptying of solid foods. The blood-brain barrier was not readily crossed and there was no interaction with 5-HT3 or 5-HT4 receptors by NG-101 unlike metoclopramide and domperidone, respectively
Neurogastrx is investigating repurposed metopimazine (NG-101), a selective and peripherally restricted dopamine D2/D3 receptor antagonist, for the potential oral treatment of gastroparesis. By July 2014, preclinical studies were underway . SE BELOW REF

In May 2016, preclinical data were presented [SEE BELOW].

In July 2014, preclinical data were published. Metopimazine at 1mg/kg increased gastric motility in hound dogs. In studies in rodents, metopimazine at 3 and 10 mg/kg increased gastric emptying by 18 and 40%, respectively, compared with vehicle control
There is an increasing demand for antiemetic agents because of the most troublesome adverse effects of chemotherapy-induced nausea and emesis during cancer treatment.
However, the objective of complete prevention of emesis in all patients remains elusive. Therefore, there is a great demand for both development of (i) new antiemetic agents and (ii) new manufacturing processes for existing antiemetic agents. Metopimazine is an existing dopamine D2-receptor antagonist with potent antiemetic properties. It is chemically known as l-(3-[2-(methylsulfonyl)-10H-phenothiazin-10-yl]propyl)-4-piperidinecarboxamide , which belongs to nitrogen- and sulfur-containing tricyclic compounds (phenothiazine class of drugs) with interesting biological and pharmacological activities.
Recently, it has been found that Metopimazine plays a key role as an alternative to Ondansetron in the prevention of delayed chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in patients receiving moderate to high emetogenic noncisplatin-based chemotherapy.It has been used in France for many years for the prevention and treatment of nausea and vomiting under the brand name of Vogalene
In 1959, the first synthesis and manufacture process of Metopimazine  was reported by Jacob et al.The synthesis starts from the protection of 2-(Methylsulfanyl)-10H-phenothiazine..JacobR. M.RobertJ. G. German Patent No. DE1092476, 1959.

In 2010, Satyanarayana Reddy et al. reported a modified synthetic route which starts from either N-protection using acetyl chloride or N-alkylation using dihalopropane of 2-(methylsulfanyl)-10H-phenothiazine ..Satyanarayana ReddyM.EswaraiahS.SatyanarayanaK. Indian Patent No. 360/CHE/2010 A, Aug 19, 2011.

May 5, 2017

Release

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Radicava (edaravone) to treat patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease.
“After learning about the use of edaravone to treat ALS in Japan, we rapidly engaged with the drug developer about filing a marketing application in the United States,” said Eric Bastings, M.D., deputy director of the Division of Neurology Products in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. “This is the first new treatment approved by the FDA for ALS in many years, and we are pleased that people with ALS will now have an additional option.”
ALS is a rare disease that attacks and kills the nerve cells that control voluntary muscles. Voluntary muscles produce movements such as chewing, walking, breathing and talking. The nerves lose the ability to activate specific muscles, which causes the muscles to become weak and leads to paralysis. ALS is progressive, meaning it gets worse over time. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that approximately 12,000-15,000 Americans have ALS. Most people with ALS die from respiratory failure, usually within three to five years from when the symptoms first appear.
Radicava is an intravenous infusion given by a health care professional. It is administered with an initial treatment cycle of daily dosing for 14 days, followed by a 14-day drug-free period. Subsequent treatment cycles consist of dosing on 10 of 14 days, followed by 14 days drug-free.
The efficacy of edaravone for the treatment of ALS was demonstrated in a six-month clinical trial conducted in Japan. In the trial, 137 participants were randomized to receive edaravone or placebo. At Week 24, individuals receiving edaravone declined less on a clinical assessment of daily functioning compared to those receiving a placebo.
The most common adverse reactions reported by clinical trial participants receiving edaravone were bruising (contusion) and gait disturbance.
Radicava is also associated with serious risks that require immediate medical care, such as hives, swelling, or shortness of breath, and allergic reactions to sodium bisulfite, an ingredient in the drug. Sodium bisulfite may cause anaphylactic symptoms that can be life-threatening in people with sulfite sensitivity.
The FDA granted this drug orphan drug designation, which provides incentives to assist and encourage the development of drugs for rare diseases.
The FDA granted approval of Radicava to Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma America, Inc,

Edaravone (brand name ラジカットRadicut) is a nootropic and neuroprotective agent used for the purpose of aiding neurological recovery following acute brain ischemia and subsequent cerebral infarction.[1] It acts as a potent antioxidant and strongly scavenges free radicals, protecting against oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis.[2][3][4] It has been marketed solely in Japan by Mitsubishi Pharma since 2001.[1] It is also marketed in India by Edinburgh Pharmaceuticals by the brand name Arone.
On June 26, 2015, Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation announced it has received approval to market Radicut for treatment of ALS in Japan. The phase III clinical trial began in 2011 in Japan. The company was awarded Orphan Drug Designation for Radicut by the FDA and EU in 2015. Radicut is an intravenous drug and administrated 14 days followed by 14 days drug holiday.
The biotech company Treeway is developing an oral formulation of edaravone (TW001) and is currently in clinical development. Treeway was awarded orphan drug designation for edaravone by the EMA in November 2014 and FDA in January 2015.
Edaravone has been shown to attenuate methamphetamine- and 6-OHDA-induced dopaminergic neurotoxicity in the striatum and substantia nigra, and does not affect methamphetamine-induced dopamine release or hyperthermia.[5][6] It has also been demonstrated to protect against MPTP-mediated dopaminergic neurotoxicity to the substantia nigra, though notably not to the striatum.[7][8][9]

Image result for edaravone synthesis
Edaravone (CAS NO.: 89-25-8), with other name of 3-Methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one, could be produced through many synthetic methods.
Following is one of the synthesis routes: By direct cyclization of phenylhydrazine (I) with ethyl acetoacetate (II) in refluxing ethanol.
SYNTHESIS
Edaravone, chemical name: 3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazoline-5-one, of the formula: Formula: CiciHltlN2O, molecular weight: 174.20, the formula:

Figure CN101830852BD00031
[0004] Edaravone is a brain-protecting agent (free radical scavenger). Clinical studies suggest that N- acetyl aspartate (NAA) is a specific sign of the survival of nerve cells, dramatically reducing the initial content of cerebral infarction. In patients with acute cerebral infarction Edaravone suppressed reduce peri-infarct regional cerebral blood flow, so that the first concept of days after the onset of brain NAA glycerol content than the control group significantly increased. Preclinical studies suggest that rats after ischemia / reperfusion of ischemic intravenous edaravone, can prevent the progress of cerebral edema and cerebral infarction, and relieve the accompanying neurological symptoms, suppress delayed neuronal death. Mechanism studies suggest that edaravone can scavenge free radicals, inhibiting lipid peroxidation, thereby inhibiting brain cells, endothelial cells, oxidative damage nerve cells.
For the synthesis of edaravone reported some use of benzene and methyl ethyl ketone amide corpus obtained, but methyl ethyl ketone amide difficult to obtain and slow reaction, which now has basically been abandoned; some use benzene corpus and ethyl acetoacetate in ethanol (see US4857542A, Synthesis Example 1) or water (Dykhanov NN Ethyl and butyl acetoacetates, Med Prom SSSR, 1961,15 (1):. 42-45) refluxing the reaction of the reaction The resulting purity edaravone poor, and the yield is not high, only about 70%.

Edaravone is a clear cerebral infarction harmful factors (free radicals), protection of new therapeutic agents for cerebral infarction nerve cells. Clinical studies have shown that N- acetyl aspartate (NAA) is a specific sign of the survival of nerve cells, dramatically reducing the initial content of cerebral infarction. When patients with acute cerebral infarction Edaravone, peri-infarct rCBF decrease has improved, and the first 28 days after the onset of brain NAA content was significantly higher than that in the control group glycerol. Mechanism studies suggest that edaravone can clear the brain is highly cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals, inhibiting the synthesis of lipids free radicals, which can suppress brain infarction after reperfusion edema, protecting brain from damage and improve nerve impairment symptoms, and the delayed neuronal death inhibition, to protect the brain.
 The first is by phenylhydrazine and methyl ethyl ketone amide (National API process compilation, 1980.737-739) condensation reaction in water at 50 ° C, a yield of up to 97%, but the raw material ketone amide ( CH3C0CH2C0NH2) are not readily available. Formula I

We have shown that the short reaction time, in combination with good yields can make microwave assisted reaction of hydrazines with β-ketoesters ideal for a rapid entry to pyrazolones. All the compounds synthesized are characterized by spectroscopic (1H NMR, IR and MS) data. While determination of tautomeric composition of compound 3 is quite challenging as eight possible tautomeric forms need to be considered, interestingly, two major tautomeric forms of compound 3a was observed in two different solvents. For example, it exists as 1,2-dihydro pyrazolone (T-1Figure 2) in DMSO and 2,4-dihydro form (T-2Figure 2) in chloroform as indicated by 1H NMR spectra (Figure 3). The olefinic proton of T-1 appeared at 5.36 δ whereas the methylene hydrogens appeared at 3.43 δ in case of T-2. Additionally, the NH proton of T-1 at 11.40 δ was not observed incase of T-2 confirmed the absence of NH in the 2,4-dihydro form. Existence of two major tautomeric forms was also observed in case compound 3b (see 1H NMR data in the experimental section). However, X-ray study on single crystal of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-methyl-1,2-dihydro pyrazol-3-one (3i) indicates that 2-aryl pyrazol-3-ones e.g. 3a-b3e-f and 3i exist as 1,2-dihydro form in crystal state. 27 It is mention worthy that the aryl ring of all these 2-aryl pyrazol-3-ones remain twisted with respect to the pyrazole plane as indicated by the crystallographic data of 3i [the dihedral angle between the pyrazole and benzene ring planes was found to be 15.81 (11)º].27
