Eisai Expands Marketing and Supply Agreement for Anti-obesity Agent Lorcaserin to Include Most Countries Worldwide
HATFIELD, England, November 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Eisai announces today that it has expanded the marketing and supply agreement between its U.S. subsidiary Eisai Inc. and U.S-based Arena Pharmaceuticals Inc.'s Swiss subsidiary, Arena Pharmaceuticals GmbH, for the anti-obesity agent lorcaserin hydrochloride (lorcaserin) (U.S. brand name: BELVIQ®). Whilst the existing agreement granted Eisai Inc. exclusive rights to market and distribute lorcaserin in 21 countries throughout the Americas, the expanded agreement now includes most countries and territories worldwide, most notably, the member states of the European Union, Japan and China (but excludes South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand and Israel).http://www.pharmalive.com/eisai-expands-lorcaserin-marketing-and-supply-agreement
Lorcaserin (previously APD-356), a highly selective 5HT2C receptor agonist, is used for the treatment of obesity. It has been shown to reduce body weight and food intake in animal models of obesity, and it is thought that targeting the 5HT2C receptor may alter body weight by regulating satiety. Lorcaserin is marketed as a salt form called Belviq, which is lorcaserin hydrochloride.
Lorcaserin (APD-356, trade name upon approval Belviq, expected trade name during development, Lorqess) is aweight-loss drug developed by Arena Pharmaceuticals. It has serotonergic properties and acts as an anorectic. On 22 December 2009 a New Drug Application (NDA) was submitted to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States. On 16 September 2010, an FDA advisory panel voted to recommend against approval of the drug based on concerns over both safety and efficacy. In October 2010, the FDA stated that it could not approve the application for lorcaserin in its present form.anti-obesity drug that Arena Pharmaceuticals is creation, Eisai Co., Ltd. has the right to sell "BELVIQ ®" (generic name lorcaserin hydrochloride) was to get the FDA approval on June 27, 2012
On 10 May 2012, after a new round of studies submitted by Arena, an FDA panel voted to recommend lorcaserin with certain restrictions and patient monitoring. The restrictions include patients with a BMI of over 30, or with a BMI over 27 and a comorbidity like high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes.
On 27 June 2012, the FDA officially approved lorcaserin for use in the treatment of obesity for adults with a BMI equal to or greater than 30 or adults with a BMI of 27 or greater who "have at least one weight-related health condition, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol".
On 7 May 2013, the US Drug Enforcement Administration has classified lorcaserin as a Schedule IV drug under the Controlled Substances Act.
Obesity is a life-threatening disorder in which there is an increased risk of morbidity and mortality arising from concomitant diseases such as type II diabetes, hypertension, stroke, cancer and gallbladder disease.
Obesity is now a major healthcare issue in the Western World and increasingly in some third world countries. The increase in numbers of obese people is due largely to the increasing preference for high fat content foods but also the decrease in activity in most people's lives. Currently about 30% of the population of the USA is now considered obese.
Whether someone is classified as overweight or obese is generally determined on the basis of their body mass index (BMI) which is calculated by dividing body weight (kg) by height squared (m2). Thus, the units of BMI are kg/m2 and it is possible to calculate the BMI range associated with minimum mortality in each decade of life. Overweight is defined as a BMI in the range 25-30 kg/m2, and obesity as a BMI greater than 30 kg/m2 (see table below).
Classification Of Weight By Body Mass Index (BMI)
As the BMI increases there is an increased risk of death from a variety of causes that are independent of other risk factors. The most common diseases associated with obesity are cardiovascular disease (particularly hypertension), diabetes (obesity aggravates the development of diabetes), gall bladder disease (particularly cancer) and diseases of reproduction. The strength of the link between obesity and specific conditions varies. One of the strongest is the link with type 2 diabetes. Excess body fat underlies 64% of cases of diabetes in men and 77% of cases in women (Seidell, Semin Vase Med, 5:3-14 (2005)). Research has shown that even a modest reduction in body weight can correspond to a significant reduction in the risk of developing coronary heart disease.

To a dry 100-milliliter, round bottom flask under nitrogen with stirring was added 2-(4-chlorophenyl)ethyl-N-2-chloropropionylamide (8.8 g, 35.8 mmol) followed by borane in THF (1.8 M, 70 mL, 140 mmol) over 10 minutes (gas evolution and solid becomes solubilized). After the addition was complete, boron trifluoride in tert-butyl methyl ether (8 mL, 70.8 mmol) was added over 10 minutes with more gas evolution. After 4 hours, LC/MS showed complete reaction. The reaction mixture was quenched with 20 mL of conc. HCL (37%) with additional of gas evolution. The reaction mixture was stirred at 40° C. for 2 hours, cooled to room temperature and evaporated. Then, the white slurry was taken up in 40 mL ethyl acetate and 20 mL of 2.5 M NaOH to make a yellow solution over a white slurry. The yellow organic layer was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to give 12.2 grams of white to yellow solid. This solid was recrystallized from ethyl acetate/hexane in two crops to give 6.7 grams of white solid product (80% yield).

Example 1 Preparation of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)ethyl-N-2-chloropropionamide
To a 1-liter, 3-necked round bottom flask under argon balloon equipped with reflux condenser and addition funnel, were added sequentially 2-(4-chlorophenyl) ethylamine (30 g, 193 mmol), 400 mL acetonitrile, triethylamine (19.5 g, 193 mmol) and 80 mL acetonitrile. The clear colorless solution was stirred and cooled to 0° C. 2-Chloropropionyl chloride (24.5 g, 193 mmol, distilled) in 5 mL acetonitrile was slowly added over 20 minutes to evolution of white gas, formation of white precipitate, and color change of reaction mixture to slight yellow. An additional 10 mL of acetonitrile was used to rinse the addition funnel. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 minutes and then warmed to room temperature and stirred vigorously for an additional one hour. The yellow reaction mixture was concentrated on the rotary evaporator to a solid containing triethylamine hydrochloride (76.36 grams). This material was taken up in 100 mL ethylacetate and 200 mL water, and stirred vigorously. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with an additional 100 mL ethylacetate. The combined organic layers were washed twice with 25 mL of saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to a light tan solid (41.6 grams, 88%). TLC in ethylacetate-hexane, 8:2 showed a major spot two-thirds of the way up the plate and a small spot at the baseline. Baseline spot was removed as follows: This material was taken up in 40 mL of ethylacetate and hexane was added until the solution became cloudy. Cooling to 0° C. produced a white crystalline solid (40.2 grams, 85% yield). The product is a known compound (Hasan et al., Indian J. Chem., 1971, 9(9), 1022) with CAS Registry No. 34164-14-2.

Paper
A novel synthesis of antiobesity drug lorcaserin hydrochloride was accomplished in six steps.N-protection of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)ethanamine with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate, N-alkylation with allyl bromide, deprotection, intramolecular Friedel–Crafts alkylation, chiral resolution with l-(+)-tartaric
acid, and the final salification led to the target molecule lorcaserin
hydrochloride in 23.1% overall yield with 99.9% purity and excellent
enantioselectivity (>99.8% ee). This convenient and economical
procedure is remarkably applicable for scale-up production.
