Definitions
- the present invention encompasses processes for the preparation and purification ofDegarelix. Background of the Invention
- Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists are used in protocols for ovulation induction and are recognized as potential drugs for the management of sex steroid-dependent pathophysiologies, such as hormoneresponsive prostate cancers and, in females, the management or treatment of breast and gynecological cancers,
- Degarelix a third generation GnRH receptor antagonist (a GnRH blocker), has been developed as a new therapy for prostate cancer patients in need of androgen ablation therapy.
- the aim of the Degarelix development has been to achieve testosterone suppression in the same range as for GnRH agonist therapy without any increase in testosterone levels after the initial dose.
- Degarelix binds to GnRH receptors in the anterior pituitary gland resulting in a decreased secretion of LH and FSH, and subsequently decreased production of testosterone by the Leydig cells in the testes.
- Testosterone suppression is achieved almost immediately after subcutaneous (s.c.) administration of Degarelix.
- the degree and duration of testosterone suppression are related to plasma concentrations of Degarelix.
- the formation of a depot following s.c. administration gives rise to sustained plasma concentrations of Degarelix, resulting in prolonged GnRH receptor-mediated suppression of testosterone levels.
- Degarelix which is a third generation gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist (blocker), is a synthetic linear decapeptide containing seven unnatural amino acids, five of which are D-amino acids.
- Degarelix is a decapeptide and is chemically designated as D-Alaninamide, iV- acetyl-3-(2-naphmalenyl)-D-alanyl-4-chloro-D-phenylalanyl-3-(3-pyridinyl)-D-alanyl-L- seryl-4-[[[(45)-hexahydro-2,6-dioxo-4-pyrimidinyl]carbonyl]amino]-L-phenylalanyl-4- [(aminocarbonyl)amino]-D-phenylalanyl-L-leucyl-N6-(l-methylethyl)-L-lysyl-L-prolyl-.
- Chlorophenylalanine, 3Pal is 3-Pyridylalanine, Hor is hydroorotyl, Lys(iPr) is N6- Isopropyllysine, 4Aph is 4-Aminophenylalanine, and Cbm is the carbamoyl group.
- the rimary sequence of Degarelix is:
- N-Boc-D-alanine (I) was coupled to the MBHA resin using diisopropyl carbodiimide and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole to afford resin (II). Subsequent cleavage of the Boc protecting group by means of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) provided the D-alanine-bound resin (III).
- US 6214798 Bl which describes a similar synthetic approach, suggests that classical peptide solution synthesis would be preferable for producing large quantities of product.
- the purity of the final material obtained in US 6214798 Bl is estimated, therein, to be about 98%, yet J Med. Chem. 2005, 48, 4851-4860 describing the same preparation yields a purity as measured by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) of 98%, which corresponds to 96% according to HPLC analysis.
- CZE capillary zone electrophoresis
- Fmoc chemistry generally employs milder reaction conditions than the Boc chemistry, and thus can sometimes be less likely to cause the formation of by-products.
- Fmoc chemistry does not employ hydrofluoric acid or other very strong acid (such as TFMSA or HBr/AcOH) is needed. Therefore these processes are much safer and environmentally friendly; factors that are important when engineering such a synthesis process on the large production scale.
- stepwise SPPS at least two types of protection for reactive functionalities other than those involved in peptide bond formation are necessary: temporary protection of the alpha-amino group, removable after formation of each peptide bond; and, side chain protection removable after assembly of the complete peptide chain.
- tBu protecting group When using Fmoc chemistry, a tBu protecting group is commonly used for the protection of the hydroxyl groups on Ser, Tyr and Thr residues. The tBu group is easily removed together with other side-chain protecting groups at the end of the peptide synthesis by using TFA.
- WO2010121835 (*W0'835') describes the preparation of Degarelix using an Fmoc strategy and using tBu as the protecting group for the Ser residue.
- WO'835 also teaches that, unusually severe cleavage conditions such as long reaction time and 100% TFA as cleavage cocktail were required to successfully complete the final deprotection.. Such severe conditions are commonly known to result in increased side reactions, increased degradation of the peptide, and accordingly production of a lower quality of the resulting product.
- Trt acid labile protecting group for Ser
- Trt acid labile protecting group for Ser
- Trt acid labile protecting group for Ser
- the Trt group is very bulky and hydrophobic, and is frequently used to increase .the "steric hindrance" effect. See, e.g. Chem. Lett. 27, 1999 and J Pept. Sci. 2010; 16: 364-374, which describes that using the Trt protecting group in an Fmoc peptide synthesis could prevent formation of the target peptide due to "steric hindrance.”
- the Degarelix sequence is inherently very hydrophobic.
- Ser(Trt)-OH would be added to extremely bulky 4Aph(L-Hor) [4-[[[(4S)-hexahydro-2,6- dioxo-4-pyrimidinyl]carbonyl] amino] -L-phenylalanyl] residue. Accordingly, the use of this protecting residue would likely be quite difficult due to "steric hindrance". These "steric effects" are known to be of great importance when two molecules or two groups are in a close approach resulting in van der Waals forces repulsive effect. The repulsive potential can become quite large if the nonbonded distances are sufficiently short.

- Synthesis of the protected peptide fragment (1 to 9) is carried out by a regular stepwise Fmoc SPPS (solid phase peptide synthesis) procedure starting from 2-Cl-Trt resin.
- the first amino acid (Fmoc-Pro-OH) is loaded onto the resin in a preliminary step to provide loading of about 0.7 mmol/g.
- a second amino acid (Fmoc-Lys(iPr-Boc)-OH) is introduced to start the first coupling step.
- Fmoc protected amino acid is activated in situ using TBTU/HOBt and subsequently coupled to the resin for 50 minutes. Diisopropylethylamine or Collidine are used during coupling as an organic base.
- the peptide, prepared as described above, is cleaved from the resin using a 1% TFA solution in DCM by three repeated washings (15 min each).
- the acidic peptide solution is neutralized by DIPEA.
- the solvent is evaporated under reduced pressure and the protected peptide is precipitated by the addition of 10 volumes of water, filtered and dried under vacuum. It is identified by MS as Ac-D-2Nal-D-4Cpa-D-3-Pal-Ser(Trt)- 4Aph(L-Hor)-D-4Aph(Cbm-tBu)-Leu-Lys(iPr-Boc)-Pro-OH.
- Protected peptide fragment is reacted with D-Ala-NH 2 dissolved in DMF.
- the activation of carboxyl group of the peptide is done in-situ by addition of TBTU/HOBt into reaction mixture.
- Diisopropylethyl amine is used as organic base. Completion of the reaction is monitored by HPLC analysis. At the end of reaction the DMF solution is added slowly to water and crude protected peptide is precipitated as off-white solid.
- the protecting groups are removed using a 95% TFA, 2.5% TIS, 2.5% EDT solution for 1 hour at about 45 °C.
- the crude product is precipitated by the addition of 10 volumes of ether, filtered and dried in vacuum.
