NEW PATENT       WO-2015021902
Novel apixaban crystal form and preparation method thereof
2y-Chem Ltd


Apixaban (BMS-562247-01, tradename Eliquis) is an anticoagulant for the treatment of venous thromboembolic events. It is a direct factor Xa inhibitor. Apixaban has been available in Europe since May 2012. An FDA decision on apixaban which was expected on June 28, 2012 was delayed.

On August 21, 2014, Pfizer announced that Apixaban was now FDA approved for treatment and secondary prophylaxis of DVT and PE. It is being developed in a joint venture by Pfizer and Bristol-Myers Squibb.

Novel crystalline polymorphic form A of apixaban, useful for treating venous thromboembolism. Appears to be the first filing by the assignees on this API, which was originally developed and launched by Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pfizer. 

Apixaban is protected by two patent families, that from WO0039131 (where it is first disclosed generically as part of the Markush formula) and that from WO03026652 (claimed specifically). Family members of WO03026652 have SPC protection until May 2026 and expire in the US in 2023 with US154 extension. 

Disclosed are an apixaban A-type crystal form and a preparation method thereof. A diffraction characteristic peak and a differential scanning calorimetry characteristic peak of X-ray powder thereof are respectively shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. The A-type crystal form in the present invention is stable and nonhygroscopic, has a simple preparation method, and has excellent repetition.

The drug also has NCE exclusivity till 2017.

The present invention relates to a biological preparation method of (S)-3-(dimethylamino)-1-(thiophene-2-radical)-1-propyl alcohol. According to the method, (S)-3-(dimethylamino)-1-(thiophene-2-radical)-1-acetone or salt thereof is used as a substrate, and the substrate is subjected to asymmetric reduction reaction in the presence of biocatalyst, cofactor and hydrogen donor to produce (S)-3-(dimethylamino)-1-(thiophene-2-radical)-1-propyl alcohol. Particularly, the biocatalyst is a combination of ketoreductase (KRED) and glucose dehydrogenase, the hydrogen donor is glucose, and the asymmetric reduction reaction is conducted at pH 6.8-7.0 and 25ºC-35ºC. Compared with the biological method in the prior art, the present invention has higher processing stability, and is simpler, more efficient and safer. During the reaction, the generation of highly toxic organic solvents such as acetone can be avoided, the application principle of green chemistry is met, and industrialized application is facilitated.

Enzyme catalyzed synthesis of (S)-3-(dimethylamino)-1-(thiophene-2-radical)-1-propanol, by asymmetric reduction of its corresponding ketone, using ketoreductase and glucose dehydrogenase. Useful as an intermediate in synthesis of duloxetine (first claimed in EP273658), which was developed and launched by Eli Lilly, in collaboration with Shionogi and ex-licensee Boehringer Ingelheim. 

The advantage of the present process is its high efficiency and green chemistry approach in synthesis of the drug. Follows on from WO2014094462, claiming a similar method for preparing duloxetine intermediates.
Duloxetine (Duloxetine) is a low side effect, can effectively treat mental disorders and metabolic disorders drugs (US 5,023,269).The key is to obtain the synthesis of duloxetine intermediates contain a chiral center (S) -3- (dimethylamino) -1- (thiophen-2-yl) -1-propanol (DMAA). Thus the asymmetric reduction of 3- (dimethylamino) -1- (thiophen-2-yl) -1-propanone (DMAK) to give the intermediate is one of the most effective, most studied methods. In achieving this pathway chemical reduction method, due to the need catalytic ruthenium metal catalyst through reaction with hydrogen, its economy, safety and environmental friendliness does not meet the needs of production. Use of chiral resolving agents as chemical resolving agent split method, due to low yield and poor economic reasons, it can not serve as the main production methods. Therefore, the use of enzymatic reduction target product, with its high efficiency and environmental friendliness has become the most effective method.

[5]
In the biological reduction method, U.S. Patent US 2010/0151534 A1 discloses a ketoreductase (KRED) produced (S) -3- (dimethylamino) -1- (thiophen-2-yl) -1- propanol method, the process requires strict control of temperature and reaction, and adding isopropanol, while the reaction of the need to introduce the negative reaction of acetone to remove byproducts, complex operation, it is difficult to repeat, and acetone are dangerous goods, easy volatile, flammable.
