The process development of a new synthetic route leading to an efficient and robust synthetic process for venetoclax (1: the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in Venclexta) is described. The redesigned synthesis features a Buchwald-Hartwig amination to construct the core ester 23c in a convergent fashion by connecting two key building blocks (4c and 26), which is then followed by a uniquely effective saponification reaction of 23c using anhydrous hydroxide generated in situ to obtain 2. Finally, the coupling of the penultimate core acid 2 with sulfonamide 3 furnishes drug substance 1 with consistently high quality. The challenges and solutions for the key Pd-catalyzed C-N cross-coupling will also be discussed in detail. The improved synthesis overcomes many of the initial scale-up challenges and was accomplished in 46% overall yield from 3,3-dimethyldicyclohexanone (6), more than doubling the overall yield of the first generation route. The new process was successfully implemented for producing large quantities of 1 with >99% area purity.

The antiapoptotic protein B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), overexpressed in many tumor cells, is an attractive target for potential small molecule anticancer drug discovery. Herein, a series of novel derivatives with acyl sulfonamide skeleton was designed, synthesized, and evaluated as Bcl-2 inhibitors by means of bioisosteric replacement. Among them, compound 24g demonstrated equal efficient inhibition activity against RS4;11 cell line compared to positive control ABT-199. Moreover, it showed improved selectivity for Bcl-2/Bcl-xL inhibitory effects, the result of which was consistent with platelet toxicity studies. In vitro and in vivo pharmacokinetic properties of compound 24g had a significantly improved profiles. Taken together, those results suggested it as a promising candidate for development of novel therapeutics targeting Bcl-2 in cancer.
