LY2801653, also known as Merestinib,  is an orally available, small molecule inhibitor of the proto-oncogene c-Met (mesenchymal-epithelial transition, also known as hepatocyte growth factor receptor [HGFR]) with potential antineoplastic activity. c-Met inhibitor LY2801653 selectively binds to c-Met, thereby inhibiting c-Met phosphorylation and disrupting c-Met signal transduction pathways. This may induce cell death in tumor cells overexpressing c-Met protein or expressing constitutively activated c-Met protein. This agent has potent anti-tumor efficacy in mono- and combination therapy in a broad range of cancers. c-Met, a receptor tyrosine kinase overexpressed or mutated in many tumor cell types, plays key roles in tumor cell proliferation, survival, invasion, metastasis, and tumor angiogenesis.

 LY2801653 was identified and developed as a novel, potent, and orally active small molecule inhibitor of human c-Met. It demonstrated dose dependent inhibition of c-Met phosphorylation in xenograft tumors with a long lasting PD effect.  LY2801653 displayed potent anti-tumor efficacy in a number of non small cell lung, renal, pancreatic, and breast tumor models. Examination of c-Met expression in these tumors by immunohistochemistry (IHC) revealed a good correlation between response and c-Met expression in the tumor tissue.  LY2801653 treatment led to increase in functional vessel areas, and decrease in tumor hypoxia. Enhanced anti-tumor efficacy was achieved when Erlotinib was combined with LY2801653. . (source: http://cancerres.aacrjournals.org/cgi/content/meeting_abstract/70/8_MeetingAbstracts/3611).

Na2CO3 (181.6 g, 1.71 mol) is added and the mixture is stirred at RT for 30 min. The pH is checked and found to be about 9.4. The mixture is filtered over polypropylene. The solids are collected and placed into a 5 L round bottom flask. A 20% water/MeOH solution (2.6 L) is added and the slurry is stirred for 30 min. The slurry is filtered and the solids are washed with 20% water/MeOH (600 mL). The solids are placed in a vacuum oven at 35° C. overnight. The first weighing indicates 394 g (theoretical yield 324.8 g, about 121% mass recovery). TGA (Thermogravimetric analysis)/DSC (differential scanning calorimetry) shows about 17 wt % free water and 10-11 wt% volatile loss at the melt. The solids are dried at 55° C. in a vacuum oven with a N2 sweep for 3.5 hours (354.7 g, about 109% mass recovery, NMR shows about 9.3 wt % DCM). No free water is present according to TGA/DSC. The material is sent for milling.

The jet mill (Aljet™ 0101) in a glove bag is assembled inside a walk in hood and hooked up to N2 to a 100 lb header. The inlet pusher nozzle is adjusted for maximum draw and max nitrogen flow is introduced into the mill. Pressure readings are noted as 90 psi on pusher nozzle and 85 psi on both grind nozzles. The starting material (353.4 g) is slowly fed to the mill inlet, stopping to empty the receiver sock as needed. The total milling time is 22 min and 25 second. The calculated feed rate is 15.8 g/min (353.4 grams divided by 22.42 min). The milled material (335.7 g, 95%) is obtained with 17.7 g loss.

Anhydrous Crystal Form Preparation

To 10 mL of EtOH is added 120 mg of the above compound into a 20 mL vial. The sample is heated to 70° C. with stirring. Initially the solids start to dissolve and then a suspension forms followed by a white precipitate. The sample is cooled to RT while being stirred. A small sample of the slurry is taken by pipette and allowed to air dry. This material is highly crystalline and proves to be an ethanol solvate by TGA. To the remaining suspension, 10 mL of heptane is added and then heated to boiling. The measured temperature is monitored at 70.8° C. until the volume has been reduced to 10 mL. When the temperature starts to rise, the heat is removed and the slurry stirred at RT overnight. The solid is isolated by vacuum filtration and dried in a vacuum oven at 45° C. for 3 hours, resulting in 77% recovery. The crystalline form shows a weight loss of 0.17% from 25-238° C. by TGA. The form’s onset of melting is 247.8° C.

Abstract Image1 MERESTENIB

An NH4Cl-catalyzed ethoxy ethyl deprotection was developed for the synthesis of merestinib, a MET inhibitor. Alternative reactor technologies using temperatures above the solvent boiling point are combined with this mild catalyst to promote the deprotection reaction. The reaction is optimized for flow and has been used to synthesize over 100 kg of the target compound. The generality of the reaction conditions is also demonstrated with other compounds and protecting groups.

To a 22 L round bottom flask equipped with mechanical stirring under nitrogen is added N-(3-fluoro-4-(l-methyl-6-(lH-pyrazol-4-yl)-lH-indazol-5-yloxy)phenyl)-l-(4- fluorophenyl)-6-methyl-2-oxo-l,2-dihydropyridine-3-carboxamide hydrochloride (367 g, 0.62 mol) followed by DCM (7.34 L) and water (7.34 L). Na2CO3 (181.6 g, 1.71 mol) is added and the mixture is stirred at RT for 30 min. The pΗ is checked and found to be about 9.4. The mixture is filtered over polypropylene. The solids are collected and placed into a 5 L round bottom flask. A 20% water/MeOΗ solution (2.6 L) is added and the slurry is stirred for 30 min. The slurry is filtered and the solids are washed with 20% water/MeOΗ (600 mL). The solids are placed in a vacuum oven at 35 0C overnight. The first weighing indicates 394 g (theoretical yield 324.8 g, about 121% mass recovery).

TGA (Thermogravimetric analysis)/DSC (differential scanning calorimetry) shows about 17 wt % free water and 10-11 wt% volatile loss at the melt. The solids are dried at 55 0C in a vacuum oven with a N2 sweep for 3.5 hours (354.7 g, about 109% mass recovery, NMR shows about 9.3 wt % DCM). No free water is present according to TGA/DSC. The material is sent for milling. The jet mill (AIj et™ 0101) in a glove bag is assembled inside a walk in hood and hooked up to N2 to a 100 Ib header. The inlet pusher nozzle is adjusted for maximum draw and max nitrogen flow is introduced into the mill. Pressure readings are noted as 90 psi on pusher nozzle and 85 psi on both grind nozzles. The starting material (353.4 g) is slowly fed to the mill inlet, stopping to empty the receiver sock as needed. The total milling time is 22 min and 25 second. The calculated feed rate is 15.8 g/min (353.4 grams divided by 22.42 min). The milled material (335.7 g, 95%) is obtained with 17.7 g loss. Particle size analysis result of the milled material is d90 of 4.6 microns.

TGA/DSC indicates about 11.4 wt % volatiles at the melt and NMR (DMSO) shows about 9.3 wt % DCM. 1H NMR (DMSO) δ 12.94 (br s, 1 H), 11.88 (s, IH), 8.44 (d, J= 7.47 Hz, 1 H), 8.12 (br s, 1 H), 8.00 (br s, 1 H), 7.96 (s, 1 H), 7.94 (d, J= 2.2 Hz, 1 H), 7.91 (d, J= 2.6 Hz, 1 H), 7.87 (s, IH), 7.47-7.37 (m, 5 H), 6.82 (t, J= 9.26 Hz, 8.82 Hz, 1 H), 6.65 (d, J= 7.49 Hz, 1 H), 4.04 (s, 3 H), 2.03 (s, 3 H). LC/MS: (M + H) 553.1.

Anhydrous Crystal Form Preparation To 10 mL of EtOH is added 120 mg of the above compound into a 20 mL vial.

The sample is heated to 70 0C with stirring. Initially the solids start to dissolve and then a suspension forms followed by a white precipitate. The sample is cooled to RT while being stirred. A small sample of the slurry is taken by pipette and allowed to air dry. This material is highly crystalline and proves to be an ethanol solvate by TGA. To the remaining suspension, 10 mL of heptane is added and then heated to boiling. The measured temperature is monitored at 70.8 0C until the volume has been reduced to 10 mL. When the temperature starts to rise, the heat is removed and the slurry stirred at RT overnight. The solid is isolated by vacuum filtration and dried in a vacuum oven at 45 0C for 3 hours, resulting in 77% recovery. The crystalline form shows a weight loss of 0.17% from 25-238 0C by TGA. The form’s onset of melting is 247.80C.
