The present invention provides processes and intermediates for preparing cinacalcet base and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
Cinacalcet, chemically designated as N-[1-(R)-(−)-(1-naphthyl)ethyl]-3-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1-aminopropane hydrochloride is a calcimimetic agent that increases the sensitivity of the calcium-sensing receptor to activation by extracellular calcium. It is disclosed in following patents U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,211,244; 6,011,068; 6,313,146 and 6,031,003.
Sensipar® (cinacalcet) is indicated for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis and for the treatment of hypercalcemia in patients with parathyroid carcinoma.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,011,068; 6,211,244 and 6,313,146 describe cinacalcet base and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts but do not provide any example for its preparation.
Several processes have been reported for the preparation of the cinacalcet base, its derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
Drugs (2002), 27(9), 831-836 discloses a synthetic scheme for preparing cinacalcet which is also disclosed as a general procedure in U.S. Pat. No. 6,211,244. The process involves reaction of 3-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]propionaldehyde prepared by Swern oxidation of the corresponding alcohol with (R)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine in the presence of titanium isopropoxide to give imine which upon reduction gives cinacalcet base. However, the use of highly inflammable and toxic titanium isopropoxide in this process limits its practicability on the industrial scale.
In accordance with U.S. Pat. No. 6,211,244, cinacalcet may also be prepared by reacting 1-acetylnaphthalene with 3-3-[-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]propylamine in the presence of titanium isopropoxide, followed by reduction using sodium cyanoborohydride and resolution of the resulting recemic cinacalcet base by chiral liquid chromatography. U.S. Pat. No. 6,211,244 also discloses reaction of 3-trichlorocinnamoylnitrile and (R)-1-naphthylethylamine in the presence of diisobutylaluminium hydride (DIBAL) followed by the reduction of the imine intermediate to produce cinacalcet. Diisobutylaluminium hydride is inflammable and not ideal for the commercial scale up.
The process outlined in U.S. Pat. No. 7,393,967 involves combining 1-bromo-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzene with N-[(1R)-1-(naphthalen-1-yl)ethyl]prop-2-en-1-amine in the presence of a catalyst and a base. However, the reaction is carried at a high temperature for about 3 to 24 hours.
The subsequent U.S. Application Publication No. 2009/0137837 describes the process for the preparation of cinacalcet involving allylic amination of 1-[3-(3-trifluoromethyl)phenyl]propene with (R)-1-naphthylethylamine in the presence of transition metal catalyst followed by the reduction. This process involves the use of expensive palladium and platinum catalyst for the condensation and column chromatography for the isolation of intermediates.

Preferably, a subject is a human being having a disease or disorder characterized by one or more of the following: (1) abnormal inorganic ion homeostasis, more preferably abnormal calcium homeostasis; (2) an abnormal level of messenger whose production or secretion is affected by calcium receptor activity, more preferably affected by calcium receptor activity; and (3) an abnormal level or activity of a messenger whose function is affected by inorganic ion receptor activity, more preferably affected by calcium receptor activity. Diseases characterized by abnormal calcium receptor homeostasis include hyperparathyroidism, osteoporosis and other bone and mineral related disorders.
The term “therapeutically effective amount” as used in the present invention refers to an amount of an agent which relieves to some extent one or more symptoms of the disease or disorder in the subject; or returns to a normal either partially or completely one or more physiological or biochemical parameters associated with or causative of the disease.

Vitride® solution (70% w/w in toluene, 79.5 g) was added to a suspension of N-[(1R)-1-(naphthalen-1-yl)ethyl]-3-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]prop-2-en-1-amine hydrobromide (Example 11; 30 g) in toluene (150 ml) at 25° C. to 35° C. under inert atmosphere. The reaction mixture was heated at 60° C. to 70° C. for 1.5 hours. After completion of reaction, the mixture was cooled to 10° C. to 15° C. and added to pre-cooled (5 to 10° C.) aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (10%; 150 ml). The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at 25° C. to 35° C., layers were settled and separated. The organic layer was washed with de-ionized water (2×60 ml), hydrochloric acid (6 Normal; 17 ml), de-ionized water (2×60 ml) and concentrated under vacuum. Ethyl acetate (360 ml) was added to the residue and heated to 60° C. to 70° C. The resulting solution was concentrated under vacuum (till 210 ml of solvent was recovered). The resulting slurry was allowed to cool to room temperature and finally cooled at 0 to 5° C. for 1 hour. The solid was filtered, washed with pre-cooled ethyl acetate (5° C. to 10° C.; 2×30 ml) and dried at 50° C. to 55° C. for 10 hours.
