Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of Ixabepilone and also to novel intermediates useful in the process according to the present invention.
- Ixabepilone is an anti cancer agent acting as a microtubule inhibitor, and which in particular are efficient in the treatment of cancer not reacting to other anti cancer agents, such as e.g. paclitaxel.
- Ixabepilone is marketed under the trade name Ixempra® and are approved for the treatment of aggressive metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer which not responding to the current prevailing chemotherapies.
- Ixabepilone known under the CAS no. 219989-84-1 has the following structure:
- Ixabepilone may be prepared from a starting material named epothilone B having the structural formula:
- Epothilone B Ixabepilone as a compound is described in the USRE4191 1.
- USRE4191 1 furthermore disclose a process for synthesizing Ixabepilone.
- the US 6,365,749 describes a process for making ixabepilone by reacting epothilone B with a palladium catalyst in the presence of a nucleophilic donor.
- the USRE39356 do also describe a process for making Ixabepilone by reacting epothilone B with an azide donor agent and a reducing agent in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst and a palladium catalyst.
- R 3 is H
- X is O or N
- Ri or R 2 is either absent or independently H, alkyl or acyl; and provided that when X is O, then Ri is absent.
- the compound of formula I is useful in the preparation of Ixabepilone.
- a compound of formula I wherein alkyl is C 1 -C8 alkyl and acyl is C1 -C8 acyl.
- a compound of formula I is provided, wherein X is O.
- a compound of formula I is provided, wherein R ⁇ is absent and R 2 is H. According yet another embodiment of the present invention, a compound of formula I is provided, wherein X is N. According yet another embodiment of the present invention, a compound of formula I is provided, wherein X is N and Ri is H.
- a compound of formula I wherein X is N and R 2 is selected from the group consisting of H and Ac.
- the present invention provides a process for preparing a compound of Formula I according to claim 1 , comprising the step of reacting epothilone B with a nucleophile of the structure H N-XRtRi wherein
- X is O or N
- Ri or R 2 is either absent or independently H, alkyl or acyl, provided that when X is
- Ixabepilone may be prepared as is illustrated in Scheme 1.
- the compound H 2 N-XR ! R 2 used according to the present invention includes nitrogen nucleophiles wherein X denotes a heteroatom such as O or N.
- the heteroatom X carries one or two entities Rj and R 2 according to its preferred valency.
- R 2 may be either absent, or independently H, or an alkyl or acyl group e.g. straight or branched alkyl or straight or branched acyl, wherein said alkyl or acyl may be substituted or un-substituted.
- alkyl or acyl may be C 1-C8 alkyl oi C 1.C8 acyl, respectively.
- Cl- C8 alkyl are meant to embrace methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl and isobutyl etc.. It is furthermore to be understood that C 1-C8 acyl are meant to embrace formyl, acetyl, propionyl, butyryl etc.
- R ⁇ is absent, while R 2 may be any of the mentioned entities.
- the nitrogen nucleophile is an optionally substituted hydroxylamine.
- X is N
- the nitrogen nucleophile is an optionally substituted hydrazine.
- the starting material epothilone B (1) is treated with the nitrogen nucleophile H 2 N- XRiR 2 in the presence of a palladium catalyst.
- the substrate suffers ring-opening and formation of the structure 2 as an intermediate.
- Activation of the carboxylic acid group with a suitable activation system affords the activated compound 3.
- Act in Scheme 1 refers to any group that activates the carboxylic acid group for attack from a nucleophile.
- EDC stands for N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)- V'- ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride and HOBt stands for 1 -hydro xybenzotriazole hydrate.
- Ring closing provides the intermediate structure 4, while reductive cleavage of the N-X bond releases the target Ixabepilone (5).
- Ixabepilone may be prepared according to Scheme 2.
- Epothilone B (1) is treated with O-benzylhydroxylamine with formation of the ring-opened intermediate 6 (Bn in 6 meaning benzyl).
- Activation of the carboxylic acid with the EDC/HOBt system affords the compound 7 which is transformed to compound 8 in an intramolecular reaction between the nitrogen nucleophile and the activated carboxylic acid.
- Compound 8 is treated with powdered Zn in acetic acid, resulting in cleavage of the N-0 bond and formation of Ixabepilone (5).
- nitrogen nucleophiles that may be used according to the present invention are the free forms of hydroxylamine and hydrazine, and various derivatives of the mentioned compounds such as e.g. O-alkylhydroxylamines and N- alkylhydrazines, and acylated hydrazines, e.g. acethydrazide (CH 3 CONH-NH 2 ).
- hydroxylamine as a nucleophile in the preparation of Ixabepilone according to the invention is outlined in Scheme 3.

Scheme 1
The compound H2N-XR!R2 used according to the present invention includes nitrogen nucleophiles wherein X denotes a heteroatom such as O or N. The heteroatom X carries one or two entities Rj and R2 according to its preferred valency.
or R2 may be either absent, or independently H, or an alkyl or acyl group e.g. straight or branched alkyl or straight or branched acyl, wherein said alkyl or acyl may be substituted or un-substituted. According to one embodiment, alkyl or acyl may be C 1-C8 alkyl oi C 1.C8 acyl, respectively. It is to be understood that Cl- C8 alkyl are meant to embrace methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl and isobutyl etc.. It is furthermore to be understood that C 1-C8 acyl are meant to embrace
formyl, acetyl, propionyl, butyryl etc. If X is O, then R\ is absent, while R2 may be any of the mentioned entities. In the case X is O, the nitrogen nucleophile is an optionally substituted hydroxylamine. In the case X is N, the nitrogen nucleophile is an optionally substituted hydrazine.
The starting material epothilone B (1) is treated with the nitrogen nucleophile H2N- XRiR2 in the presence of a palladium catalyst. The substrate suffers ring-opening and formation of the structure 2 as an intermediate. Activation of the carboxylic acid group with a suitable activation system affords the activated compound 3. The term "Act" in Scheme 1 refers to any group that activates the carboxylic acid group for attack from a nucleophile. One example of a suitable activation system is the EDC/HOBt system where EDC stands for N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)- V'- ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride and HOBt stands for 1 -hydro xybenzotriazole hydrate. Ring closing provides the intermediate structure 4, while reductive cleavage of the N-X bond releases the target Ixabepilone (5).

According to one aspect of the present invention, Ixabepilone may be prepared according to Scheme 2. Epothilone B (1) is treated with O-benzylhydroxylamine with formation of the ring-opened intermediate 6 (Bn in 6 meaning benzyl). Activation of the carboxylic acid with the EDC/HOBt system affords the compound 7 which is transformed to compound 8 in an intramolecular reaction between the nitrogen nucleophile and the activated carboxylic acid. Compound 8 is treated with powdered Zn in acetic acid, resulting in cleavage of the N-0 bond and formation of Ixabepilone (5).
Other examples of nitrogen nucleophiles that may be used according to the present invention are the free forms of hydroxylamine and hydrazine, and various derivatives of the mentioned compounds such as e.g. O-alkylhydroxylamines and N- alkylhydrazines, and acylated hydrazines, e.g. acethydrazide (CH3CONH-NH2).
