Lenvatinib was granted Orphan Drug Designation for thyroid cancer by the health authorities in Japan in 2012, and in Europe and the U.S in 2013. The first application for marketing authorization of lenvatinib in the world was submitted in Japan on June 2014. Eisai is planning to submit applications for marketing authorization in Europe and the U.S. in the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Lenvatinib is an oral multiple receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor with a novel binding mode that selectively inhibits the kinase activities of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR), in addition to other proangiogenic and oncogenic pathway-related RTKs including fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR), the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor PDGFRalpha, KIT and RET that are involved in tumor proliferation. This potentially makes lenvatinib a first-in-class treatment, especially given that it simultaneously inhibits the kinase activities of FGFR as well as VEGFR.

Lenvatinib (E7080) is a multi-kinase inhibitor that is being investigated for the treatment of various types of cancer by Eisai Co. It inhibits both VEGFR2 and VEGFR3 kinases.^[1] The substence was granted orphan drug status for the treatment of various types of thyroid cancer that do not respond toradioiodine; in the US and Japan in 2012 and in Europe in 2013^[2] and is now approved for this use.

 

Clinical trials

Lenvatinib has had promising results from a phase I clinical trial in 2006^[3] and is being tested in several phase II trials as of October 2011, for example against hepatocellular carcinoma.^[4] After a phase II trial testing the treatment of thyroid cancer has been completed with modestly encouraging results,^[5] the manufacturer launched a phase III trial in March 2011.^[6] Lenvatinib Mesilate Molecular formula: C21H19ClN4O4,CH4O3S =523.0. CAS: 857890-39-2. UNII code: 3J78384F61.

About the Lenvatinib (E7080) Phase II Study The open-label, global, single-arm Phase II study of multi-targeted kinase inhibitor lenvatinib (E7080) in advanced radioiodine (RAI)-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer involved 58 patients with advanced RAI refractory DTC (papillary, follicular or Hurthle Cell) whose disease had progressed during the prior 12 months. (Disease progression was measured using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST).) The starting dose of lenvatinib was 24 mg once daily in repeated 28 day cycles until disease progression or development of unmanageable toxicities.

  2.   About Thyroid Cancer Thyroid cancer refers to cancer that forms in the tissues of the thyroid gland, located at the base of the throat or near the trachea. It affects more women than men and usually occurs between the ages of 25 and 65. The most common types of thyroid cancer, papillary and follicular (including Hurthle Cell), are classified as differentiated thyroid cancer and account for 95 percent of all cases. While most of these are curable with surgery and radioactive iodine treatment, a small percentage of patients do not respond to therapy. 3.   About Lenvatinib (E7080) Lenvatinib is multi-targeted kinase inhibitor with a unique receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitory profile that was discovered and developed by the Discovery Research team of Eisai's Oncology Unit using medicinal chemistry technology. As an anti-angiogenic agent, it inhibits tyrosine kinase of the VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) receptor, VEGFR2, and a number of other types of kinase involved in angiogenesis and tumor proliferation in balanced manner. It is a small molecular targeting drug that is currently being studied in a wide array of cancer types. 4-(3-chloro-4-(cyclopropylaminocarbonyl)aminophenoxy)-7-methoxy-6-quinolinecarboxamide (additional name: 4-[3-chloro-4-(N′-cyclopropylureido)phenoxy]-7-methoxyquinoline-6-carboxamide) is known to exhibit an excellent angiogenesis inhibition as a free-form product, as described in Example 368 of Patent Document 1. 4-(3-chloro-4-(cyclopropylaminocarbonyl)aminophenoxy)-7-methoxy-6-quinolinecarboxamide is also known to exhibit a strong inhibitory action for c-Kit kinase (Non-Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2). However, there has been a long-felt need for the provision of a c-Kit kinase inhibitor or angiogenesis inhibitor that has high usability as a medicament and superior characteristics in terms of physical properties and pharmacokinetics in comparison with the free-form product of 4-(3-chloro-4-(cyclopropylaminocarbonyl)aminophenoxy)-7-methoxy-6-quinolinecarboxamide.

European Medicines Agency (EMA) Accepts Otsuka's Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) for Tolvaptan, an Investigational Compound for Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD)
•Tolvaptan was discovered by Otsuka in Japan and, if approved by the EMA, would become the first pharmaceutical therapy in Europe for patients with ADPKD
•ADPKD is an inherited genetic disease that causes cyst growth in the kidneys, which gradually impairs their functioning. There is no current pharmaceutical treatment option
•Otsuka’s development of tolvaptan as a treatment for ADPKD illustrates the company’s commitment to address significant patient needs for diseases that traditionally have not been a priority for the pharmaceutical industry
TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. announced today that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has accepted the submission of a marketing authorisation application (MAA) for the potential approval of tolvaptan for the treatment of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Phase III clinical trial results that form the basis of the regulatory filing were published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
http://www.pharmalive.com/ema-accepts-otsukas-maa-for-tolvaptan
Tolvaptan is a selective vasopressin V2-receptor antagonist with an affinity for the V2-receptor that is 1.8 times that of native arginine vasopressin (AVP).
Tolvaptan is (±)-4'-[(7-chloro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-5-hydroxy-1H-1-benzazepin-1-yl) carbonyl]-otolu-m-toluidide. The empirical formula is C₂₆H₂₅ClN₂O₃. Molecular weight is 448.94. The chemical structure is:
SAMSCA tablets for oral use contain 15 mg or 30 mg of tolvaptan. Inactive ingredients include corn starch, hydroxypropyl cellulose, lactose monohydrate, low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose, magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose and FD&C Blue No. 2 Aluminum Lake as colorant.
Tolvaptan (INN), also known as OPC-41061, is a selective, competitive vasopressin receptor 2 antagonist used to treat hyponatremia (low blood sodium levels) associated withcongestive heart failure, cirrhosis, and the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone(SIADH). Tolvaptan was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on May 19, 2009, and is sold by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co. under the trade name Samsca and in India is manufactured & sold by MSN laboratories Ltd. under the trade name Tolvat & Tolsama.

Tolvaptan is also in fast-track clinical trials[2] for polycystic kidney disease. In a 2004 trial, tolvaptan, when administered with traditional diuretics, was noted to increase excretion of excess fluids and improve blood sodium levels in patients with heart failure without producing side effects such as hypotension (low blood pressure) or hypokalemia(decreased blood levels of potassium) and without having an adverse effect on kidney function.[3] In a recently published trial (TEMPO 3:4 ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00428948) the study met its primary and secondary end points. Tolvaptan, when given at an average dose of 95 mg per day over a 3-year period, slowed the usual increase in kidney volume by 50% compared to placebo (2.80% per year versus 5.51% per year, respectively, p<0.001) and reduced the decline in kidney function when compared with that of placebo-treated patients by approximately 30% (reciprocal serum creatinine, -2.61 versus -3.81 (mg/mL)-1 per year, p <0.001)[4]

Processes for the preparation of 7-chloro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepin-5-one, 7-chloro-1-(2-methyl-4-nitrobenzoyl)-5-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepine and 7-chloro-1-[2-methyl-4-[(2-methylbenzoyl)amino]benzoyl]-5-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepine were reported in Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry 7 (1999), 1743-1754. According to the journal, 7-chloro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepin-5-one can be prepared by reacting 7-chloro-4-ethoxycarbonyl-5-oxo-N-p-toluenesufonyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepine with acetic acid in the presence of hydrochloric acid and water to obtain 7-chloro-5-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1-p-toluenesulfonyl-1H-1-benzazepine, and then reacted with polyphospholic acid. According to the journal, 7-chloro-1-(2-methyl-4-nitrobenzoyl)-5-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepine can be prepared by reacting 7-chloro-5-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepine with 2-methyl-4-nitobenzoyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine.
According to the journal, 7-chloro-1-[2-methyl-4-[(2-methylbenzoyl)amino]benzoyl]-5-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepine can be prepared by reacting 1-(4-amino-2-methylbenzoyl)-7-chloro-5-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepine with 2-methylbenzoylchloride in the presence of triethylamine.
PCT publication no. WO 2007/026971 disclosed a process for the preparation oftolvaptan can be prepared by the reduction of 7-chloro-1-[2-methyl-4-(2-methylbenzoylamino)benzoyl]-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepin-5-one with sodium borohydride.
7-Chloro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepin-5-one is a key intermediate for the preparation of tolvaptan.
Biooganic and Medicinal Chemistry I (2007) 6455-6458, Biooganic andMedicinal Chemistry 14 (2000) 2493-2495 reported in the literature of the intermediate 2 - carboxylic acid -5 - (2 - methyl-benzoylamino) toluene synthesis method,

5-Chloro-2-nitrobenzoic acid (I) was converted into methyl ester (II) using dimethyl sulfate and K2CO3 in acetone. The nitro group of (II) was then reduced with SnCl2 to afford aniline (III), which was protected as the p-toluenesulfonamide (IV) with tosyl chloride in pyridine. Alkylation of (IV) with ethyl 4-bromobutyrate (V) yielded diester (VI). Subsequent Dieckmann cyclization of (VI) in the presence of potassium tert-butoxide provided benzazepinone (VIIa-b) as a mixture of ethyl and methyl esters, which was decarboxylated to (VIII) by heating with HCl in AcOH. Deprotection of the tosyl group of (VIII) was carried out in hot polyphosphoric acid. The resulting benzazepinone (IX) was condensed with 2-methyl-4-nitrobenzoyl chloride (X) to give amide (XI). After reduction of the nitro group of (XI) to the corresponding aniline (XII), condensation with 2-methylbenzoyl chloride (XIII) provided diamide (XIV). Finally, ketone reduction in (XIV) by means of NaBH4 led to the target compound.
