Usage

Description

Rasagiline mesylate is a potent and selective irreversible monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) inhibitor launched in 2005 in Israel by Teva as monotherapy in patients with early Parkinson's disease and as adjuvant treatment in moderate-toadvanced disease. Lundbeck will market the drug throughout Europe. Rasagiline is in phase II clinical trials at Teva and Eisai for the treatment of Alzheimer's type dementia.

White to Off-White Crystalline Solid

Uses

Different sources of media describe the Uses of 161735-79-1 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. A selective irreversible MAO-B inhibitor. Antiparkinsonian
2. Rasagiline Mesylate is a new MAO-B inhibitor for the treatment of idiopathic Parkinson's disease.
3. Rasagiline is a selective irreversible MAO-B inhibitor. Rasagiline is an Antiparkinsonian agent.

Indications

Rasagiline mesylate is a novel, potent, second-generation, selective, irreversible MAO-B inhibitor that blocks the breakdown of dopamine. It is approved for the treatment of PD. Indications for use of once-daily rasagiline are as a monotherapy in early PD and as an adjunct to levodopa in moderate to advanced disease. Rasagiline significantly improves symptoms during initial monotherapy in patients with early PD and as an adjunct treatment to levodopa in moderate-to-advanced patients. Rasagiline is well tolerated up to doses as high as 20 mg/day. Evidence for neuroprotective effect of rasagiline is as follows (Jain 2010c): Structure activity studies have shown that the neuroprotective activity is associated with the propargyl moiety of rasagiline, which protects mitochondrial viability. Experimental evidence supports rasagiline's neuroprotective efficacy, showing that neuronal survival is related to the anti-apoptotic properties of its propargyl moiety. Aminoindan metabolite of rasagiline has been shown to have neuroprotective properties (Bar-Am et al. 2010).

General Description

Rasagiline mesylate, (R)-N-(prop-2-ynyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-amine methanesulfonate(Azilect), belongs to the propargylamine family and is a whiteto off-white powder, soluble in water or ethanol, slightly solublein isopropanol. Rasagiline is rapidly absorbed. Plasmaprotein binding for rasagiline ranges from 88% to 94%, withspecific binding to serum albumin being 61% to 63%. It undergoescomplete biotransformation before excretion, mainlyvia N-dealkylation and hydroxylation, to yield three majormetabolites: 1(R)-aminoindan, 3-hydroxy-N-propargyl-1-aminoindan, and 3-hydroxy-1-aminoindan. Both oxidativepathways are catalyzed by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes,mainly the 1A2 isozyme. Rasagiline and its metabolites undergoglucuronide conjugation with subsequent urinary excretion.Inhibitors of the CYP1A2 may increase plasmaconcentrations of rasagiline up to twofold. Because rasagilineis a selective and irreversible inhibitor of MAO-B, itsduration of action is independent of the drug’s half-life and isinstead determined by the regeneration rate of MAO-B. Thischaracteristic is potentially beneficial in PD, where rasagiline’sprolonged effect may be able to limit the fluctuating responsesthat are characteristic of long-term drug treatmentwith levodopa.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Rasagiline mesylate is an irreversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase selective for MAO type B over type A by a factor of fourteen. It has anti-apoptotic and neuroprotectant activity and has been used as a treatment for Parkinson′s disease.

Synthesis

1-Indanone (122) was condensed with benzyl amine to give corresponding enamine which was reduced with sodium borohydride in ethanol to give racemic Nbenzyl- 1-inda-namine (123) in 82% yield. The racemic benzylamine 123 was resolved with L-tartaric acid and recrystallized from boiling water to give optical pure Rbenzylamine 124 as a tartarate salt. The recovered S-isomer 125 can be racemized under basic condition to give back as the starting racemic 123. Compound 124 was hydrogenated and basified to give free amine 126 in 72 % yield which was alkylated with propargyl chloride and K2CO3 in hot acetonitrile to yield free resagiline. Finally resagiline mesilate (XVII) was obtained by treating resagiline with methanesulfonic acid in refluxing IPA.

Improved preparation method of rasagiline racemic intermediate

The invention discloses an improved preparation method of a rasagiline racemic intermediate, belongs to the technical field of medicinal chemistry, and particularly relates to an improved method for preparing an N-(2-propargyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-1-amine racemic body. According to the invention, the N-(2-propargyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-1-amine racemic body is prepared by using 1-indanone and propargylamine as raw materials through a one-pot method in the presence of a dehydrating agent; and the method is simple to operate, high in yield and good in purity, and establishes a good foundationfor subsequent preparation of rasagiline mesylate.

PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF ENATIOMERICALLY PURE 1-AMINOINDAN

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of optically pure ( R) -1-aminoindan by a diastereomeric resolution of 1-aminoindan using N-acetyl-L-glutamic acid as a resolving agent. In another aspect, the invention relates to diastereomeric salts of (R) -1-aminoindan with N-acetyl-L-glutamic acid, and their use in the process for the preparation of rasagiline.

A novel synthesis of rasagiline via a chemoenzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution

A novel synthetic route for preparing rasagiline mesylate is presented using a dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) as the key step, catalyzed by Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) and a Pd nanocatalyst. The chiral intermediate (R)-2,3-dihydro-1-indanamine was obtained through the DKR of the racemic aminoindan rac-1 in high yield (>90%) and excellent enantioselectivity (>99% ee). The process could be conducted on a 73 g scale at 200 g/L. Rasagiline mesylate was synthesized in 25% overall yield and excellent enantioselectivity (99.9% ee) over 7 steps.
