This application is a National Phase application under 35 U.S.C. §371 of International Application No. PCT/HU2013/000009 filed Feb. 1, 2013 and claims the benefit of EP Application No. 12462005.5 filed Feb. 14, 2012, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
The 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, i.e. N-[2-n-butyl-3-[4-[3-(di-n-butylamino)propoxy]benzoyl]-1-benzofuran-5-yl]-methanesulfonamide, having the formula (I):
is a known drug for the treatment of arrhythmia (EP0471609).
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 part of the procedure. Besides the reaction route for preparation of dronedarone, the starting material 2-butyl-5-methansulfonamido-benzofuran and its preparation are 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 continuous step by step building of the chemical groups is performed on more and more complicated and expensive molecules, which raises the costs of the preparation.
Furthermore it comprises complicated and harmful reaction steps 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 WO 02/48078) is complicated and gives a low yield of only 61.6%. Pure product can be expected after-purification using chromatographic column purification, which 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 taking into consideration the number of the reaction steps. Unfortunately, in the last reaction step rather impure dronedarone.HCl (hydrochloride salt) is formed which is the obvious consequence of the presence of the 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 is further purified and finally the crude dronedarone base is 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 is given for this reaction step. According to example 5 crude dronedarone hydrochloride salt is prepared with a yield of 90%, which is 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, since neither the components used in the Friedel-Crafts reaction nor the resulting products and by-products are soluble in water, the washing step with water cannot result any purification apart from the removal of inorganic salts.
There is another drawback of this process, namely, a dimesylated side-product is formed in the mesylation reaction of the 5-amino-2-butyl-benzofuran. The purification is carried out by crystallization which has a yield of 78.5%.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel process for the preparation of dronedarone (I), starting from known and commercially available materials, applying simple, 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 the preparation of dronedarone (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof
which comprises oxidizing a compound of formula (IV) or a salt thereof
with an oxidizing agent in organic or inorganic solvents,
isolating the obtained product as a base and, if desired, converting it into a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.
We have surprisingly found that performing the mesylation of the amino group at the end of the synthesis by the oxidation of a sulfenyl group, instead of using mesyl chloride, has several advantages.
Also in this process (as in the above mentioned process [A] and process [B]) the methanesulfonylation of the amino group is the last step but the reagent is very simple and readily available from commercial sources. Although the product should be purified by column chromatography, the obtained isolated yield is better than in the above mentioned patents.
Further aspects of the invention include the compound of formula (IV) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof as a new compound and a process for the preparation thereof (see below in the “Detailed description of the invention” part).
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 from commercial sources—reads as follows:
(a) reacting a compound of formula (II) (methanesulfenyl chloride)
with a compound of formula (III) ((5-amino-2-butyl-benzofuran-3-yl)-[4-(3-dibutylamino-propoxy)-phenyl]-methanone)
optionally in the presence of a base catalyst to obtain a compound of formula (IV):
(b) oxidation of compound (IV) ((2-butyl-5-methylsulfanylamino-benzofuran-3-yl)-[4-(3-dibutylamino-propoxy)-phenyl]-methanone) obtained in step (a) above or a salt thereof to obtain dronedarone (I),
isolating the obtained product as a base and, if desired, converting it into a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.
Compound of formula (II) can be purchased or can be prepared by known methods (JACS 1989, 111, 1363; J. Org. Chem. 1959, 24, 2004; J. Het. Chem. 1991, 28, 1025. Compound of formula (III) is known from WO 02/48132 (Sanofi).
The intermediary compound of formula (IV) is a new compound. Said compound, its salts and the preparation process thereof (i.e. the above step (a)) form further objects of the invention. Said compound is isolated in pure form during the synthesis of dronedarone.
The reaction of step (a) is typically carried out in a solvent or in a mixture of solvents, optionally in the presence of a base catalyst.
The solvent in this step is typically selected from the group of alcohols, amides, aromatic solvents and any mixtures thereof. Specific examples include, among others, methanol, ethanol, pyridine and DMF.
In general, said base catalyst is an organic or inorganic base. Said base catalyst is typically selected from the group of alkali, alkoxides, e.g. sodium methoxide, and nitrogen-containing bases, e.g. pyridine and 2-methylpyridine. If we use a basic solvent, e.g. pyridine, no further addition of base catalyst is needed:
The oxidation of step (b) is carried out in a solvent, using an oxidizing agent.
The solvent in this step is typically selected from the group of alcohols, ketones, esters, amides, chlorinated solvents, aromatic solvents, inorganic acids and any mixtures thereof. Specific examples include, among others, dichloromethane, ethanol, acetone, ethyl acetate and acetic acid.
In general, said oxidizing agent is selected from the generally used organic and inorganic oxidizing agents. Examples for such oxidizing agents include hydrogen peroxide and peroxy carboxylic acids, such as meta-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA), peracetic acid, pertrifluoroacetic acid and hypochlorites, such as sodium hypochlorite.
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 0° C. and the boiling point of the applied solvent (or solvent mixture).
Applicable temperature values can be found in the examples. In general, step (a) is carried out at 0-20° C. and step (b) is conveniently carried out at room temperature.
Both reaction steps are generally carried out under atmospheric pressure.
In the processes for the preparation of the intermediary compound of formula (IV) the product is typically isolated as a base. If desired, the isolated base can be converted into a salt (acid addition salt) thereof, which is typically a pharmaceutically acceptable salt (possible acids are mentioned below). 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).
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) or (IV). 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, 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 molecule) 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).
