This invention relates to a novel process for the preparation of dronedarone and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, to novel intermediary compounds used in this process and their preparation.
Dronedarone is a known drug for the treatment of arrhythmia and has the chemical name of N-[2-n-butyl-3-[4-[3-(di-n-butylamino)propoxy]benzoyl]benzofuran-5-yl]methanesulfon-amide [see also formula (I) below]. There are some known processes for the preparation of dronedarone as follows:
In EP 0471609 the following scheme is disclosed for the preparation of dronedarone [Process A]
The above mentioned patent description discloses some new intermediary compounds, too.
In WO 02/48078 the following scheme is disclosed for the preparation of dronedarone [Process B]:
The novelty of the process is based on the adaptation of the Friedel-Crafts reaction in the first step. The process and the intermediary compounds used for the preparation of the benzoylchloride compound of the first step are also disclosed in this document. The further steps of the process are identical with the final steps of the synthetic route disclosed in EP 0471609 [Process A], but in the claims the whole synthetic route is claimed, up to dronedarone.
In WO 02/48132 (Sanofi) the following reaction route is disclosed [Process C]. This method is the so called superconvergent route. In the first step of it 5-amino-2-butyl-benzofuran
is mesylated and the obtained 2-butyl-5-methanesulfonamido-benzofuran (in HCl salt form) is further reacted in the next step as follows:
In this process the order of reaction steps are altered, the reduction and the methansulfonylation steps are performed at the beginning of the procedure. Besides the reaction route for preparation of dronedarone, the starting material 2-butyl-5-methansulfonamido-benzofuran and its preparation is also claimed.
From among the mentioned procedures the first one [Process A] is the so called linear synthesis. In this way of procedure the different parts of the dronedarone are stepwise built up on the starting compound. This method is the least economical because the step by step building of the chemical groups is performed where more and more complicated and expensive molecules are applied which rises the costs of preparation. Furthermore, it comprises complicated and dangerous reaction step because aluminium chloride is used in the cleaving reaction of the methoxy group which makes the industrial feasibility more complicated.
In WO 02/48078 (Process B) a shorter synthetic route is disclosed which makes this process more economical, but its last reaction step remained the methansulfonylation reaction of the amino group. This reaction step (see the method described in example 6 of of WO 02/48078) is complicated and give a low yield, only 61.6%. Pure product can be obtained after purification using chromatographic column purification, which method is necessary because of the separation difficulties of the bis-methanesulfonylated product.
The process disclosed in WO 02/48132 (process C) is simpler and more economical taken into consideration the number of the reaction steps. Unfortunately, in the last reaction step rather impure dronedarone.HCl (hydrochloride) is formed which is the obvious consequence of the presence of dibutylamino group in the Friedel-Crafts reaction. According to Examples 3 and 4, the crude dronedarone hydrochloride salt is prepared with a yield of 90% which was further purified and finally the crude dronedarone base was produced with a yield of 86%. This base is reacted with hydrogen chloride gas dissolved in isopropanol which results in pure dronedarone hydrochloride salt. No yield was given for this reaction step. According to example 5 crude dronedarone hydrochloride salt was prepared with a yield of 90%, which was washed with water and reacted with hydrogen chloride gas dissolved in isopropanol, resulting dronedarone hydrochloride salt again. The quality of this product is not known. However, neither the components used in the Friedel-Crafts reaction nor the resulted products and by-products are soluble in water, the washing step with water cannot result any purification apart from the removal of inorganic salts.
It is an object of present invention to provide a novel process for the preparation of dronedarone of formula (I). Starting with known and commercially available materials, applying simple and environmentally compatible reagents and solvents to afford high overall yields and good purity of the product.
The main aspect of the invention is a process for preparation of dronedarone (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof
wherein the compound of formula (II)
and the obtained product is isolated and, if desired, converted into a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
This new procedure avoids the drawbacks of the procedures mentioned before, because the intermediates are easily to prepare and the starting materials are not expensive to purchase. In the final step the dibutylamino-ethanol can be removed from the other components easily and the other by-products can be removed very effectively using chromatographic purification or salt forming. In the final reaction used compounds of formula (II) are new and can be prepared using known methods (Yakugaku Zasshi (1956) 76, 637-40; J. Am. Chem. Soc. vol 104. No 11.3173; Synthesis (1981), 155.)
The starting compound of structure (VIII) is known [EP 0471 609, Sanofi]. Some intermediary compounds used in synthesis of dronedarone are new. Dibutylamino-propanol is known in the literature and can be prepared according to the process described in Journal of the American Chemical Society 1946, (7), 1297-99. Further aspects of the invention are the novel intermediary compounds and the methods for the preparation thereof (see below in the “Detailed description of the invention” part). The applied other starting materials are available from commercial sources.
Therefore the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of dronedarone and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The whole process—starting from compounds available commercial sources—reads as follows:
A) For the preparation of compound of formula (VII)
the compound of formula (VIII)
is reacted with activated form of a compound of HO—SO2-L′″ (IX),
where L′″ is leaving group, for example alkyl (e.g. methyl), halogenated alkyl (e.g. trifluoromethyl), aryl (e.g. phenyl), optionally substituted with halogen, alkyl, alkoxy or nitro group.
The “activated form” of compound (IX) is for example a halogenide derivative thereof (OH changed for halogen) or anhydride form of compound (IX).
The reaction is carried typically in a solvent, which can be e.g. dichloromethane, dichloroethane, chlorobenzene or mixtures thereof.
B) For the preparation of compound of formula (VI) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof
a compound of formula (VII)
is hydrogenated, where L′ and L″ is a leaving group, and the obtained product is isolated and, if desired, converted into a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
The meaning of L′ can be selected from the following group: halogen, alkylsulfonyloxy, optionally substituted with one or more halogen (e.g. methanesulfonyloxy, trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy) and arylsulfonyloxy (e.g. benzenesulfonyloxy), optionally substituted with halogen, alkyl, alkoxy or amino.
The meaning of L″ can be selected from the following group: halogen, alkylsulfonyloxy, optionally substituted with one or more halogen (e.g. methanesulfonyloxy, trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy) and arylsulfonyloxy (e.g. benzenesulfonyloxy), optionally substituted with halogen, alkyl, alkoxy or nitro.
The hydrogenation of compound of formula (VII) is carried out in a solvent or mixture of solvents, in the presence of a catalyst, which can be e.g. PtO2 or Pd/C. The solvent can be selected from the group C1-C4 alcohols, ethyl acetate, cyclohexane and tetrahydrofurane and mixtures thereof (e.g. ethanol or methanol).
C) For the preparation of compound of formula (II) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof
where L is a leaving group, typically halogen, alkylsulfonyloxy, optionally substituted with one or more halogen (e.g. methanesulfonyloxy, trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy) or arylsulfonyloxy (e.g. benzenesulfonyloxy), optionally substituted with halogen, alky, alkoxy or alkylsulfonylamino (e.g. methanesulfonylamino),
a) when L is halogen, then the compound of formula (IV)
is reacted with a compound of formula (V)
where Hal is halogen, and
b) when L is different from halogen, e.g. alkylsulfonyloxy, optionally substituted with one or more halogen (e.g. methanesulfonyloxy, trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy) or arylsulfonyloxy (e.g. benzenesulfonyloxy), optionally substituted with halogen, alky, alkoxy or alkylsulfonylamino (e.g. methanesulfonylamino), then a compound of formula (VI)
where L′ is alkylsulfonyloxy, optionally substituted with one or more halogen (e.g. methanesulfonyloxy, trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy) or arylsulfonyloxy (e.g. benzenesulfonyloxy), optionally substituted with halogen, alky, alkoxy or amino, is mesylated,
and the obtained product is isolated and, if desired, converted into a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
In process variant a) the reaction is carried out under Friedel-Craft reaction conditions (see e.g. in Advanced Organic Chemistry John Wiley and Sons 4. Ed. 1992, 538-42).
The reaction is carried out in halogenated and nitro group containing solvents, e.g. dichloromethane, dichloroethane, chlorobenzene, nitromethane, nitrobenzene. Catalyst also can be applied, typically Lewis acids, e.g. AlCl3, FeCl3, SnCl4, TiCl4.
In process variant b) the mesylation is carried out in a solvent or mixture of inert solvents, typically in the presence of base. The solvent can be selected from the group of halogenated solvents (e.g. dichloromethane, dichloroethane, chlorobenzene), aromatic solvents (e.g. toluene) and ethers (e.g. diisopropyl ether) and mixtures thereof. The base can be selected from group of tercier amines (e.g. pyridine or triethyl amine) and inorganic bases (e.g. carbonates, hydrogen carbonates, alkali hydroxides).
In the process a mesylating reagent should be applied. It can be any reagent which can be used for inserting a CH3SO2— group into the free amino group of compound of formula (VI). It is practical to use methanesulfonic anhydride or methanesulfonyl halogenide, e.g. methanesulfonyl chloride.
D) Finally, for the preparation of dronedarone of formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof
an above compound of formula (II) [where L is leaving group, typically selected from the group of halogen, alkylsulfonyloxy, optionally substituted with one or more halogen (e.g. methanesulfonyloxy, trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy), and arylsulfonyloxy (e.g benzenesulfonyloxy), optionally substituted with halogen, alky, alkoxy or alkylsulfonylamino (e.g. methanesulfonylamino), is reacted with compound of formula (III)
and the obtained product is isolated and, if desired, converted into a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
Typically the reaction is carried out in solvents in presence of base, optionally in the presence of a catalyst.
The solvent can be e.g. dimethyl formamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, hexamethylphosphoramide, mono- or dialkyl pyridine and similar polar solvents and any mixtures thereof.
In some cases an alkali salt of the compound of formula (III) is used as base.
The catalyst may be for example a copper salt (e.g. copper iodide) or copper oxide catalyst, when L leaving group is halogen. When L is different from halogen, then there is no necessity to use catalyst.
Typically the reaction is carried out in the presence of a base, which can be selected from the group of (alkaline hydroxide, alkaline hydride, alkaline amide, e.g. KOH, NaH, Na-amide.
As used herein, the term alkyl includes straight or branched aliphatic hydrocarbon chains of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, e.g., methyl, ethyl, isopropyl and t-butyl.
As used herein, the term “aryl” includes aromatic monocyclic or multicyclic ring systems comprising 6 to about 14 carbon atoms, preferably 6 to about 10 carbon atoms. Non-limiting examples of suitable aryl groups include phenyl and naphthyl.
As used herein, the term “halogen” includes fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo atoms.
In the above reactions the temperature is chosen according to the general practice of a person skilled in organic chemistry. Typically the temperature is between 10° C. and the boiling point of the applied solvent (which can be the mixture of the mentioned solvents in a specific embodiment). Applicable temperature values can be found in the examples.
All the above reactions are carried out under atmospheric pressure with the exception of the hydrogenation steps where higher pressure also can be applied, typically up to 20 bar, e.g. 5 to 10 bar.
The applicable acid for the preparation of pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be any inorganic or organic acid which forms an acid addition salt with the compound of general formula (I). Exemplary acids which can form an acid addition salt are as follows: acetic acid, adipic acid, alginic acid, ascorbic acid, aspartic acid, benzoic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, methansulfonic acid, ethansulfonic acid, boric acid, butyric acid, citric acid, ethanesulfonic acid, fumaric acid, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide, hydrogen iodide, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid, maleic acid, oxalic acid, methanesulfonic acid, nitric acid, salicylic acid, tartaric acid, sulfuric acid (forming sulfate or bisulfate anion), sulfonic acid (such as those mentioned herein), succinic acid, toluenesulfonic acid and the like. The hydrogen halogenide salts are typical, especially the hydrogen chloride salt.
Here it is mentioned that on the mesylate group of compound of general formula (I) (see the “left side” of the molecules) a salt formation can be carried out (on the amide part of it) by a strong base, e.g. an alkaline hydroxide, typically by sodium hydroxide. However, these salts have less practical importance, but they are within the scope of salts. It means that the phrase “salts” embraces both the acid addition salts and the salts formed by bases (basic salts) in case of compounds of general formula (I).
As it was mentioned above the further starting materials are commercially available or can be prepared by applying known synthetic ways, e.g. as it is given in the relating examples.
Other objects of the invention are the novel intermediary compounds applied in the processes, namely the following compounds:
where L is a leaving group selected from halogen, alkylsulfonyloxy, optionally substituted with one or more halogen, or arylsulfonyloxy, optionally substituted with halogen, alky, alkoxy or alkylsulfonylamino.
In a preferred embodiment the compound of formula (H) is selected from the following group:
where L′ alkylsulfonyloxy, optionally substituted with one or more halogen, or arylsulfonyloxy, optionally substituted with halogen, alky, alkoxy or amino.
In a preferred embodiment the compound of formula (VI) is selected from the following group:
where L″ is alkylsulfonyloxy, optionally substituted with one or more halogen, or arylsulfonyloxy, optionally substituted with halogen, alky, alkoxy or nitro.
In a preferred embodiment the compound of formula (VII) is selected from the following group:
Other objects of the invention are the processes for the preparation of the novel intermediary compounds, namely the following ones:
where L is leaving group, characterized in that
a) when L is halogen, then the compound of formula (IV)
is reacted with a compound of formula (V)
where Hal is halogen, and
b) when L is different from halogen, then a compound of formula (VI)
is mesylated, where L′ is a leaving group being different from halogen,
and the obtained product is isolated and, if desired, converted into a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
where a compound of formula (VII)
is hydrogenated, where L″ is a leaving group,
and the obtained product is isolated and, if desired, converted into a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
characterized in that the compound of formula (VIII)
is reacted with activated form of a compound of HO—SO2-L′″ (IX),
where L′″ is leaving group.
In the processes for the preparation of the intermediary compounds the product is isolated as a base typically (if the compound has an alkylated amino group). If desired, the isolated base can be converted into a salt (acid addition salt) thereof, which is typically a pharmaceutically acceptable salt [the possible acids are mentioned in point D)]. Theoretically the acid addition salt can be prepared directly if the relating acid is in the final reaction mixture from which the solid product is made (however, this way is not applied in case of these compounds where the base type form has practical importance).
Here it is mentioned that some of the above intermediary compounds have a mesylate group (see the “left side” of the molecules) where a salt formation can be carried out (on the amide part of it) by a strong base, e.g. an alkaline hydroxide, typically by sodium hydroxide. However, these salts have less practical importance, but they are within the scope of salts which can be prepared by the claimed process, i.e. the phrase “salts” embraces the salts formed by bases (basic salts) in such cases (where the molecule has a mesylate group).
