Synthesis and physicochemical characterization of the impurities of pemetrexed disodium, an anticancer drug.

ABSTRACT: A physicochemical characterization of the process-related impurities associated with the synthesis of pemetrexed disodium was performed. The possibility of pemetrexed impurities forming has been mentioned in literature, but no study on their structure has been published yet. This paper describes the development of the synthesis methods for these compounds and discusses their structure elucidation on the basis of two-dimensional NMR experiments and MS data. The identification of these impurities should be useful for the quality control during the production of the pemetrexed disodium salt.

Synthesis and Physicochemical Characterization of the Process-Related Impurities of Olmesartan Medoxomil. Do 5-(Biphenyl-2-yl)-1-triphenylmethyltetrazole Intermediates in Sartan Syntheses Exist?

Project description:During the process development for multigram-scale synthesis of olmesartan medoxomil (OM), two principal regioisomeric process-related impurities were observed along with the final active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). The impurities were identified as N-1- and N-2-(5-methyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxolen-4-yl)methyl derivatives of OM. Both compounds, of which N-2 isomer of olmesartan dimedoxomil is a novel impurity of OM, were synthesized and fully characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), infrared spectroscopy (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and high-resolution mass spectrometry/electrospray ionization (HRMS/ESI). Their ¹H, (13)C and (15)N nuclear magnetic resonance signals were fully assigned. The molecular structures of N-triphenylmethylolmesartan ethyl (N-tritylolmesartan ethyl) and N-tritylolmesartan medoxomil, the key intermediates in OM synthesis, were solved and refined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD). The SCXRD study revealed that N-tritylated intermediates of OM exist exclusively as one of the two possible regioisomers. In molecular structures of these regioisomers, the trityl substituent is attached to the N-2 nitrogen atom of the tetrazole ring, and not to the N-1 nitrogen, as has been widely reported up to the present. This finding indicates that the reported structural formula of N-tritylolmesartan ethyl and N-tritylolmesartan medoxomil, as well as their systematic chemical names, must be revised. The careful analysis of literature spectroscopic data for other sartan intermediates and their analogs with 5-(biphenyl-2-yl)tetrazole moiety showed that they also exist exclusively as N-2-trityl regioisomers.

Synthesis and Characterization of FITC Labelled Ruthenium Dendrimer as a Prospective Anticancer Drug.

Project description:Metallodendrimers-dendrimers with included metals-are widely investigated as biocompatible equivalents to metal nanoparticles. Applications can be expected in the fields of catalysis, as chemical sensors in molecular recognition and as anticancer drugs. Metallodendrimers can also mimic certain biomolecules, for example, haemoprotein in the case of using a dendrimer with a porphyrin core. In previous papers, we showed the promising anticancer effects of carbosilane ruthenium dendrimers. The present paper is devoted to studying biocompatibility and the cytotoxic effect on normal and cancer cells of carbosilane ruthenium dendrimers labelled with fluorescent probe fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC). The addition of fluorescent probe allowed tracking the metallodendrimer in both normal and cancer cells. It was found that carbosilane ruthenium dendrimer labelled with FITC in concentration up to 10 µmol/L was more cytotoxic for cancer cells than for normal cells. Thus, FITC labelled carbosilane ruthenium dendrimer is a good candidate for diagnostic imaging and studying anticancer effects of metallodendrimers in cancer therapy.

New Polymorphic Forms of Pemetrexed Diacid and Their Use for the Preparation of Pharmaceutically Pure Amorphous and Hemipentahydrate Forms of Pemetrexed Disodium.

Project description:The preparation of stable amorphous pemetrexed disodium of pharmaceutical purity as well as the process optimization for the preparation of the hemipentahydrate form of pemetrexed disodium are described. Analytical methods for the polymorphic and chemical purity studies of pemetrexed disodium and pemetrexed diacid forms were developed. The physicochemical properties of the amorphous and hydrate forms of pemetrexed disodium, as well as new forms of pemetrexed diacid (a key synthetic intermediate) were studied by thermal analysis and powder X-ray diffraction. High-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography methods were used for the chemical purity and residual solvents determination. In order to study the polymorphic and chemical stability of the amorphous and hemipentahydrate forms, a hygroscopicity test (25 °C, 80% RH) was performed. Powder diffraction and high-performance liquid chromatography analyses revealed that the amorphous character and high chemical purity were preserved after the hygroscopicity test. The hemipentahydrate form transformed completely to the heptahydrate form of pemetrexed disodium. Both pemetrexed disodium forms were produced with high efficiency and pharmaceutical purity in a small commercial scale. Amorphous pemetrexed disodium was selected for further pharmaceutical development. Two new polymorphs (forms 1 and 2) of pemetrexed diacid were used for the preparation of high purity amorphous pemetrexed disodium.

Synthesis Characterization of Platinum (IV) Complex Curcumin Backboned Polyprodrugs: In Vitro Drug Release Anticancer Activity.

Project description:The conventional mono-chemotherapy still suffers from unsatisfied potency for cancer therapy due to tumor heterogeneity and the occurrence of drug resistance. Combination chemotherapy based on the nanosized drug delivery systems (nDDSs) has been developed as a promising platform to circumvent the limitations of mono-chemotherapy. In this work, starting from cisplatin and curcumin (Cur), we prepared a dual drug backboned shattering polymeric nDDS for synergistic chemotherapy. By in situ polymerization of the Cur, platinum (IV) complex-based prodrug monomer (DHP), L-lysine diisocyanate (LDI), and then conjugation with a hydrophilic poly (ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether (mPEG) derivative, a backbone-type platinum (IV) and Cur linkage containing mPEG-poly(platinum-co-Cur)-mPEG (PCPt) copolymer was synthesized. Notably, the platinum (IV) (Pt (IV)) and Cur were incorporated into the hydrophobic segment of PCPt with the fixed drugs loading ratio and high drugs loading content. The batch-to-batch variability could be decreased. The resulting prodrug copolymer then self-assembled into nanoparticles (PCPt NPs) with an average diameter around 100 nm, to formulate a synergetic nDDS. Importantly, PCPt NPs could greatly improve the solubility and stability of Cur. In vitro drug release profiles have demonstrated that PCPt NPs were stable in PBS 7.4, rapid burst release was greatly decreased, and the Pt and Cur release could be largely enhanced under reductive conditions due to the complete dissociation of the hydrophobic main chain of PCPt. In vitro cell viability test indicated that PCPt NPs were efficient synergistic chemotherapy units. Moreover, PCPt NPs were synergistic for cisplatin-resistant cell lines A549/DDP cells, and they exhibited excellent reversal ability of tumor resistance to cisplatin. This work provides a promising strategy for the design and synthesis of nDDS for combination chemotherapy.

Caffeine-Cyclodextrin Complexes as Solids: Synthesis, Biological and Physicochemical Characterization.

Project description:Mechanochemical and in-solution synthesis of caffeine complexes with α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrins was optimized. It was found that short-duration, low-energy cogrinding, and evaporation (instead of freeze-drying) are effective methods for the formation and isolation of these complexes. The products obtained, their pure components, and their mixtures were examined by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy. Moreover, molecular modeling provided an improved understanding of the association process between the guest and host molecules in these complexes. The complexes were found to exhibit high toxicity in zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos, in contrast to pure caffeine and cyclodextrins at the same molar concentrations. HPLC measurements of the caffeine levels in zebrafish embryos showed that the observed cytotoxicity is not caused by an increased caffeine concentration in the body of the organism, as the concentrations are similar regardless of the administered caffeine form. Therefore, the observed high toxicity could be the result of the synergistic effect of caffeine and cyclodextrins.

Synthesis, physicochemical characterization, and cytocompatibility of bioresorbable, dual-gelling injectable hydrogels.

Project description:Injectable, dual-gelling hydrogels were successfully developed through the combination of physical thermogellation at 37 °C and favorable amine:epoxy chemical cross-linking. Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-based thermogelling macromers with a hydrolyzable lactone ring and epoxy pendant groups and a biodegradable diamine-functionalized polyamidoamine cross-linker were synthesized, characterized, and combined to produce nonsyneresing and bioresorbable hydrogels. Differential scanning calorimetry and oscillatory rheometry demonstrated the rapid and dual-gelling nature of the hydrogel formation. The postgelation dimensional stability, swelling, and mechanical behavior of the hydrogel system were shown to be easily tuned in the synthesis and formulation stages. The leachable products were found to be cytocompatible under all conditions, while the degradation products demonstrated a dose- and time-dependent response due to solution osmolality. Preliminary encapsulation studies showed mesenchymal stem cell viability could be maintained for 7 days. The results suggest that injectable and thermally and chemically cross-linkable hydrogels are promising alternatives to prefabricated biomaterials for tissue engineering applications, particularly for cell delivery.

Polymeric nanocapsular baicalin: Chemometric optimization, physicochemical characterization and mechanistic anticancer approaches on breast cancer cell lines.

Project description:Baicalin is a multi-purpose flavonoid known for its anticancer properties, but its application is hindered by its low water solubility and bioavailability. Polymeric nanocapsules were proposed in this work as a promising system for enhancing baicalin delivery, and potentiating its anticancer properties. The characterization of nanocapsules was augmented with chemometric analysis, and the selected formulations were tested on two breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231), with mechanistic anticancer elucidation using MTT assay, confocal microscopy uptake, flow cytometry, mechanism of cell death, reactive oxygen species production, caspase 3/7 activity and death biomarker expression using quantitative real time PCR. Results showed that baicalin nanocapsules displayed favorable pharmaceutical properties; with the formulation variables affecting their properties elucidated using chemometric factorial analysis. Nanocapsules enhanced the anticancer activity of baicalin up to 216 times for MCF-7 cells and 31 times for MDA-MB-231 after 24?hr incubation. Cellular internalization of the fluorescently labeled nanocapsules was confirmed after 4?hr incubation for both cell lines. Apoptosis was the dominant cell death mechanism, with significant up-regulation of P53 in baicalin nanocapsules treated cells. Data here presented drive to further preclinical studies to investigate the delivery of baicalin polymeric nanocapsules and their anti-cancer activity.

Crystal structure and characterization of pyrroloquinoline quinone disodium trihydrate.

Project description:UNLABELLED: BACKGROUND:Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), a tricarboxylic acid, has attracted attention as a growth factor, and its application to supplements and cosmetics is underway. The product used for these purposes is a water-soluble salt of PQQ disodium. Although in the past, PQQ disodiumpentahydrates with a high water concentration were used, currently, low hydration crystals of PQQ disodiumpentahydrates are preferred. RESULTS:We prepared a crystal of PQQ disodium trihydrate in a solution of ethanol and water, studied its structure, and analyzed its properties. In the prepared crystal, the sodium atom interacted with the oxygen atom of two carboxylic acids as well as two quinones of the PQQ disodium trihydrate. In addition, the hydration water of the prepared crystal was less than that of the conventional PQQ disodium crystal. From the results of this study, it was found that the color and the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum of the prepared crystal changed depending on the water content in the dried samples. CONCLUSIONS:The water content in the dried samples was restored to that in the trihydrate crystal by placing the samples in a humid environment. In addition, the results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray diffraction-differential calorimetry (XRD-DSC) analyses show that the phase of the trihydrate crystal changed when the crystallization water was eliminated. The dried crystal has two crystalline forms that are restored to the original trihydrate crystals in 20% relative humidity (RH). This crystalline (PQQ disodium trihydrate) is stable under normal environment.
