Heart failure is a very high mortality syndrome, for patients with heart failure, so far no drug can significantly improve mortality and morbidity, and thus a new type of therapy is necessary. AHU-377 (CAS No. 149709-62-6) is an enkephalinase inhibitor, which is a prodrug ester groups can be lost through hydrolysis, converted to pharmaceutically active LBQ657, inhibit endorphin enzyme (NEP) the role of the main biological effects of NEP is to natriuretic peptides, bradykinin and other vasoactive peptide degradation failure. AHU-377 and angiotensin valsartan composition according to the molar ratio of 1 LCZ696. LCZ696 is an angiotensin receptor enkephalinase inhibitors, which can lower blood pressure, treat heart failure may become a new drug. Clinical data show, LCZ696 is more effective for the treatment of hypertension than valsartan alone.

 

Patents US 5,217,996 and US 5,354,892 reported the first synthesis of AHU-377, the synthetic route is as follows:

 

 

 

 

Reaction with unnatural D-tyrosine derivative as a substrate, more expensive, while the second step in the synthesis is necessary to use Pd-catalyzed Suzuki coupling reaction, whereby preparative route costs than the AHU-377 high.

 

 

Patent US 8,115,016 above routes also reported the departure from the pyroglutamate, through multi-step process for preparing a reaction AHU-377, which is more difficult methylation reaction, and the yield is not high. Patent US 8,580,974 also reported a carbonyl group of the a- introducing N, N- dimethyl enamine is converted to methyl, however, there are some problems in the route for constructing methyl chiral centers, are not suitable for scale-up synthesis route as follows:

 

 

 

 

About the latest AHU377 synthesis intermediates, Patent WO2014032627A1 reported using a Grignard reagent to react with epichlorohydrin, a quicker been important intermediates, synthetic route Compound AHU377 synthesized as follows:

 

However, the second step of the synthetic route use succinimide nitrogen atoms introduced by Mitsunobu reaction with hydrochloric acid hydrolysis to remove, then converted to Boc protected at the end of the synthesis process AHU377 Boc will have to take off protection, then any connection with succinic anhydride reaction product introduced into the structure of succinic acid portion, so that this method of atom economy and the economy of the steps are low.

The present invention provides novel crystalline Form of Nintedanib and process for its preparation. The present invention also provides to a novel process for the preparation of Nintedanib. The present invention further provides to novel intermediates used in the preparation of Nintedanib and process for their preparation.

Nintedanib inhibits multiple receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and non-receptor tyrosine kinases (nRTKs).The chemical name of Nintedanib is lH-Indole-6-carboxylic acid, 2,3-dihydro-3-[[[4-[methyl-(4-methyl-l-iperazinyl)acetyl]amino]phenyl]amino]phenylmethylene] -2-oxo-,methylester, (3Z)-, ethanesulfonate (1 : 1) and is structurally represented by compound of Formula I.

Formula I

Nintedanib is marketed in the United States under the trade name OFEV and is indicated for the treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF).

Nintedanib was first described and claimed in U.S. Pat.No. 6,762, 180 and EP 1224 170. These patents disclose a process for the preparation of Nintedanib as depicted in scheme I given below:

U.S.Pat.No. 8,067,617 discloses a process for the preparation of Nintedanib intermediate Enolindole derivative), which is shown in the scheme-II given below:

Scheme-II

U.S.Pat. No. 7,119,093 discloses Nintedanib monoethanesulphonate in crystalline form characterised by X-ray powder diffraction pattern having 2Θ values at 7.70, 8.78, 9.47, 9.82, 11.59, 11.93, 13.15, 13.69, 14.17, 16.32, 16.72, 16.92, 17.43, 17.77, 18.58, 18.81, 19.03, 19.73, 19.87, 20.03, 20.61, 20.83, 21.26, 21.76, 22.05, 22.19, 22.57, 23.10, 23.81, 24.69, 24.78, 24.91, 25.42, 26.24, 26.91, 27.19, 27.61, 27.95, 28.71, 29.25.

Polymorphism, the occurrence of different crystal forms, is a property of some molecules and molecular complexes. A single molecule may give rise to a variety of polymorphs having distinct crystal structures and physical properties like melting point, X-ray diffraction pattern, infrared absorption fingerprint and solid state NMR spectrum. One polymorph may give rise to thermal behaviour different from that of another polymorph. Thermal behaviour can be measured in the laboratory by such techniques as capillary melting point, thermo gravimetric analysis ("TGA") and differential scanning calorimetry ("DSC"), which have been used to distinguish polymorphic forms.

The differences in the physical properties of different polymorphs results from the orientation and intermolecular interactions of adjacent molecules or complexes in the bulk solid. Accordingly, polymorphs are distinct solids sharing the same molecular Formula yet having distinct advantageous physical properties compared to other polymorphs of the same composition or complex. Hence there remains a need for polymorphic forms which have properties suitable for pharmaceutical processing on a commercial scale.

Considering the importance of Nintedanib, there exists a need to develop an alternate and improved process for the preparation of Nintedanib with better yield. Further, the process involved should be simple, convenient and cost-effective for large scale production. The inventors of the present invention during their continuous efforts also developed a novel high melting stable polymorphic form of Nintedanib ethanesulfonate.

Leidipawei (Ledipasvir, LDV, the structure as shown in Formula 1-LDV) was developed by Gilead hepatitis C drugs, FDA has granted LDV / SOF (Sofosbuvir) fixed dose combination drug therapy breakthrough finds that this combination therapy is expected in the short 8-week period to cure patients with genotype 1HCV, but without injections of interferon or ribavirin (ribavirin).

US20100310512 Leidipawei reported synthetic route is as follows:

2 side chain compound 1-LDV are Moc-Val, but in the compound 21 in the first to introduce Cbz-, then introduced into the left Moc-Val 13-Br in the compound by hydrolysis and condensation, and the right side chains prior to 17 -Br Boc-introduced, and then condensed by the introduction of the right hydrolyzed Moc-Val, i.e., it is not required to introducing a protecting group, then 2 times by hydrolysis, condensation of 2 times the target product. Cumbersome reaction steps, and the product raw material is expensive, tedious synthetic methods to make the product more expensive raw material costs, requires the use of more efficient ways to reduce material costs.

US2013324740 reported Leidipawei the following preparation method:

Law methodology US20100310512 efficiency in high, but still prepared Boc protected compound 24, compound 27, as well as through hydrolysis to remove the protecting group Boc, the yield is still not high, but also increase the waste emissions.

Thus, there remains the need to find simpler, more efficient Leidipawei preparation.

 

 

Route 1

Law Compound 11 first introduced in Moc-val group, Boc protection is not required, can significantly improve the synthesis efficiency and reduce waste emissions.

Route 2

Law Compound 11, Compound 3-Moc were first introduced Moc-Val, got rid of all the protection, deprotection, significantly reduced synthetic steps to improve the synthesis efficiency, production cycle reduced significantly, waste emissions significantly lower raw material costs significantly reduction, with significant industrial significance.

Route 3

Law of the compound 4-Br-Moc-Boc, the compound 5-Moc-Boc protecting group is introduced, it can reduce the effects of electron-rich N atoms of catalyst, dramatically reducing the amount of catalyst and promote the reaction, an increase of raw materials utilization. Since the catalyst and raw materials expensive, so this route can significantly reduce raw material costs. Meanwhile, the product line also reduces the defluorination impurities content.

Synthesis of Compound 1-LDV: Example 32

In three bottle was charged with compound 1'-LDV-Bz-Bz (5.25g, 4.5mmol), potassium phosphate aqueous solution (1M / L, 50mL) and tert-amyl alcohol (50 mL), warmed to 90 deg.] C, stirred for 5 hours, cooled to room temperature, ethyl acetate (100 mL). The organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated to give the product (4G, yield 100%).
