Atrasentan Route Selection by Craig Harris
Objective • To prepare 10 g+ of optically pureAtrasentan to gauge the activity of in-house endothelial antagonists in our tumour models before December 2001. • Consequence: AZ’s competitor goes into development / dumped and potential licensing agreement with Yamanouchi Pharmaceuticals.
Route Selection • Three publications; official process not registered (still in Phase II) • Abbott’s Asymmetric Route; rather long winded • Abbott’s Racemic Route; much more suited to scale up • Paris Asymmetric Route; large induction much more ameniable to large scale • Why not run both in a staggered fashion?
Conclusions • Paris asymmetric route easily best on paper; in practise overall yield was poor (10% chemical yield, 99% e.e.) but can be improved • Paris route provided a very quick way to control Abbott’s Racemic Route ran in parallel (14% chemical yield, 99% e.e.) • Target: Start, 04/08/2001; first submission, 06/09/2001
Combien ça aurait couté?????? • An external reputable contract synthesis; official figure not available but we estimate for 10 g at 100% strength • 1,000,000 FF!!!! • et en Euros? = 152,671
