Usage

Description

In January 2012, the US FDA approved vismodegib (also referred to as GDC-0449) for the treatment of adults with metastatic basal cell carcinoma (BCC), with locally advanced BCC that has recurred following surgery or who are not candidates for surgery or radiation. Vismodegib inhibits the Hh sig?naling pathway by functioning as an antagonist of SMO thereby inhibiting the activation of Hedgehog target genes, resulting in decreased downstream pro?duction of proliferation factors. The IC50 of vismodegib in a Hedgehog?responsive cell line derived from human embryonic palatal mesenchyme cells was 2.8 nM. In preclinical in vivostudies, vismodegib at 12.5 mg/kg (bid) caused complete regression of tumors in a Hh pathway dependent medulloblas?tomaallograft model generated from Ptch+/-mice. A synthesis of vismodegib starting from 2-chloro-5-nitro aniline and employing a Negishi coupling with 2-pyridyl zinc iodide as a key step has been reported.

Brand name

Erivedge

Clinical Use

Antineoplastic agent: Treatment of basal cell carcinoma which is inappropriate for surgery or radiotherapy

Synthesis

The synthesis began with selective iodination of commercial carboxylic acid 179, affording trisubstituted arene 180 in 73% yield. A Curtius reaction then converted 180 to carbamate 181 in 84% 52 yield, and this was followed by a palladium(0)-catalyzed borylation of 181 which furnished Suzuki coupling partner 182 in 91% yield. Pinacol borane 182 was exposed to commercial 2-bromopyridine under conventional cross-coupling conditions to furnish biaryl 183, which underwent Boc-deprotection in quantitative conversion to generate 184. Amide bond formation with acid chloride 185 (readily available from the corresponding commercial acid) produced vismodegib (XXVIII) in 99% yield.

Drug interactions

Potentially hazardous interactions with other drugs Antibacterials: concentration possibly reduced by rifampicin - avoid. Antidepressants: concentration possibly reduced by St John’s wort - avoid. Antiepileptics: concentration possibly reduced by carbamazepine, fosphenytoin and phenytoin - avoid. Antipsychotics: avoid with clozapine, increased risk of agranulocytosis.

Metabolism

Vismodegib is hepatically metabolised by CYP2C9 and CYP3A4, however more than 98% of total systemic vismodegib is not metabolised. Metabolic pathways of vismodegib include oxidation, glucuronidation, and pyridine ring cleavage. The two most abundant oxidative metabolites recovered in faeces are produced in vitro by recombinant CYP2C9 and CYP3A4/5. Vismodegib is slowly eliminated by a combination of metabolism and excretion of parent drug, the majority is recovered in the faeces (82%). Vismodegib and its metabolites are eliminated mainly by the hepatic route.

Selective Late-Stage Oxygenation of Sulfides with Ground-State Oxygen by Uranyl Photocatalysis

Oxygenation is a fundamental transformation in synthesis. Herein, we describe the selective late-stage oxygenation of sulfur-containing complex molecules with ground-state oxygen under ambient conditions. The high oxidation potential of the active uranyl cation (UO22+) enabled the efficient synthesis of sulfones. The ligand-to-metal charge transfer process (LMCT) from O 2p to U 5f within the O=U=O group, which generates a UV center and an oxygen radical, is assumed to be affected by the solvent and additives, and can be tuned to promote selective sulfoxidation. This tunable strategy enabled the batch synthesis of 32 pharmaceuticals and analogues by late-stage oxygenation in an atom- and step-efficient manner.
