Biological Activity:Potent and selective PDE5 inhibitor (IC50: 1.23 nM) with improved selectivity over PDE6(PDE5/6 selectivity value 117 and >3000-fold selectivity over other PDEs).Gisadenafil has the potential for oral bioavailability and dose-proportional pharmacokinetics. Close analogue of Sildenafil (Viagra; Axon 2046)

Gisadenafil besylate is a PDE5 inhibitor. Inhibition of PDE5 prevents the breakdown of cyclic phosphodiester secondary messenger molecules. This has the effect of prolonging and enhancing signal transduction.

UK-369,003 was nominated for development as the lead candidate for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The free base was found to be moderately crystalline with a melting point of 168 °C. Solubility of the free base at physiological pH was found to be poor hence necessitating a comprehensive screen for a suitable salt form of the API. Benzenesulfonic acid was found to form the most suitable counterion for the API with a melting point of 248 °C and satisfied all our requirements for primary and secondary processing. The process for the formation of the benzenesulfonic acid salt involved the use of water/methyl ethyl ketone (4% water by volume) as the reaction medium. The water level at 4% ensured an optimum balance between product quality (purging of impurities) and the reaction yield. The cyclisation reaction (step 2/Scheme 01) involves the use of ethanol as the reaction media. Any residual amount of ethanol in the isolated step 2 product was therefore considered to be a considerable risk factor in the potential formation of ethyl besylate during the final step processing (step 3/Scheme 01).

SYNTHESIS

US6407259

Compound 1E is also known as 5-[2-Ethoxy-5-(4-ethylpiperazin-1-ylsulphonyl)pyridin-3-yl]-3-ethyl-2-[2-methoxyethyl]-2,6-dihydro-7H-pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one, or alternatively as 1-{6-ethoxy-5-[3-ethyl-6,7-dihydro-2-(2-methoxyethyl)-7-oxo-2H-pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidin-5-yl]-3-pyridyl sulphonyl}-4-ethylpiperazine (the compound of Example 103 of WO 01/27113 and exemplified hereinafter as Example 1).

Preparation 1

2,2-dimethoxybutane:

Methyl ethyl ketone (672 mL) was charged to a 2 L round bottomed flask and stirred at room temperature before being treated with, trimethylorthoformate (763 mL) and para-toluenesulphonic acid (6.65 g, 0.5 mol %). Over a 15 min period the internal temperature rose to 46° C., so the reaction was cooled to 0° C. for 30 min. The reaction was then stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The reaction was then neutralised by pouring onto sodium carbonate (ca. 750 g) with constant stirring. The resultant slurry was filtered under vacuum and the resultant filtrate was distilled at atmospheric pressure. The fraction boiling in the range 118° C.-124° C. was collected as a colourless liquid, 582 g, 70%.

¹H NMR (CDCl₃): δ=0.88 (3H, t), 1.24 (3H, s), 1.61 (2H, q), 3.17 (6H, s).

Example 1 N-[3-Carbamoyl-5-ethyl-1-(2-methoxyethyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]-2-ethoxy-5-(4-ethyl-1-piperazinyl sulfonyl) nicotinamide

(a) Ethyl 3-ethyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylate (IIA) from (IlI) and (V)

To a stirred solution of 2,2-dimethoxybutane (10 g, 84.7 mMol) in CH₂Cl₂ (50 mL) under a nitrogen atmosphere at 0° C. was added pyridine (13.7 mL, 169.5 mMol). The reaction mixture was maintained at 0° C. and a solution of trichloroacetyl chloride (18.9 mL, 169.5 mMol) in CH₂Cl₂ (35 mL) was added over 1 hour with constant stirring. The yellow-orange solution begins to precipitate a white solid as the reaction progresses. The reaction mixture is allowed to warm to room temperature over 20 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethanol (150 mL) and re-cooled to 0° C. before treatment with hydrazine hydrate (8.2 mL, 169.5 mMol) as a solution in ethanol (35 mL) over 30 min. The reaction was heated to 50° C. and solvent was distilled at atmospheric pressure. The temperature was increased until the head temperature reached 78° C. Reflux was maintained for a further 2 h, before cooling to room temperature. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (250 mL) and ethanol was removed by evaporation at reduced pressure. The resultant mixture was extracted with CH₂Cl₂ (3×200 mL). The combined organics were dried (MgSO₄), filtered and evaporated at reduced pressure to afford the title compound as a brown oil, 12.05 g, 85%.

The slurry was then cooled to 5-10°C and granulated for 30 minutes following which it was filtered and washed with 2ml/g ethyl alcohol (20 mis). The damp solid was dried in vacuo overnight at 55-60 °C to yield a white crystalline solid. (Yield 7.6g, 76%). Melting Point 162- 165°C.

δ (CDCI₃): 1.05 (3H,t), 1.42 (3H,t), 1.58 (3H,t), 2.43 (2H,q), 2.57 (4H,t), 3.09 (2H, t), 3.15 (4H,t), 3.30 (3H,s), 3.93 (2H,t), 4.48 (2H,t), 4.90 (2H,q), 8.65 (1 H,d), 9.05 (1 H,d), 10.65 (1 H,s).

In the process of Example 103, water and pharmaceutically acceptable alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol and mixtures thereof can be used to prepare the compound of Examples 8 and 102.

BESYLATE SALT

Example 104 1-(6-ethoxy-5-r3-ethyl-6,7-dihvdro-2-(2-methoxyethyl)-7-oxo-2H-pyrazolor4.3- d]pyrimidin-5-yl]-3-pyridylsulfonyl)-4-ethylpiperazine benzene-sulfonate salt.

170g (0.33 mol) of the compound of Example 103, 1-{6-ethoxy-5-[3-ethyl-6,7- dihydro-2-(2-methoxyethyl)-7-oxo-2H-pyrazolo[4,3- d]pyrimidin-5-yl]-3- pyridylsulfonyl}-4-ethylpiperazine, was charged followed by a water/ 2- butanone (4% v/v) at 10 ml/g (1.7 litres) and warmed to reflux. 53g (0.33 mol) of benzene sulfonic acid dissolved in water (23mls, resulting in 70 % w/w solution) was added to the refluxing solution over 30 minutes.5.3ml/g (0.9 litres) of 2-butanone were striped and replaced and the slurry cooled. The slurry was cooled to 5-10°C and granulated for 2 hours after which it was filtered and washed with 2ml/g (0.3 litres) of 2-butanone. The salt was dried overnight in vacuo at 55-60°C to yield a white crystalline solid. Yield 215g, 96.4%. Mpt 242-244°C. δ (DMSO): 1.17 (3H, t), 1.28 (3H, t), 1.35 (3H, t), 2.73 (2H, q), 2.97 (2H, q), 3.2 (3H, s), 3.58 (2H, t), 3.78 (3H, t), 3.81 (2H, t), 4.49 (2H, t) 4.51 (2H, q), 7.29-7.33 (3H, m), 7.57-7.60 (2H, m), 8.28 (1 H, d), 8.73 (1 H, d), 9.13 (1 H,s), 11.90(1 H,s).

The powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) pattern for this salt, having Mpt 242- 244°C, was determined using a Siemens D5000 powder X-ray diffractometer fitted with a theta-theta goniometer, automatic beam divergence slits, a secondary monochromator and a scintillation counter. The specimen was rotated whilst being irradiated with copper K-alpha1 X-rays (Wavelength = 1.5046 Angstroms) filtered with a graphite monochromator (λ = 0.15405nm) with the X-ray tube operated at 40 kV/mA. The main peaks (in degrees θ) of the PXRD pattern are illustrated in Table I.

Table

The same besylate salt, as defined by the XRD pattern described in Table 1 , when made via alternative routes can have a melting point in the range of from 235-246°C (measured using a Perkin Elmer DSC7 at a heating rate of 20°C/minute).
