phosphodiesterase type 4 inhibitor, commonly referred to as a PDE4 inhibitor, is a drug used to block the degradative action ofphosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) on cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). It is a member of the larger family of PDE inhibitors. The PDE4 family of enzymes are the most prevalent PDE in immune cells. They are predominantly responsible for hydrolyzing cAMP within both immune cells and cells in the central nervous system
PDE4 hydrolyzes cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) to inactive adenosine monophosphate (AMP). Inhibition of PDE4 blocks hydrolysis of cAMP, thereby increasing levels of cAMP within cells.

A practical and scaleable synthesis of the PDE4 inhibitor, KW-4490 (1), was developed for the multi-kilogram preparation. This improved synthesis features construction of the 1-arylcyclohexene by Diels-Alder reaction, followed by a newly established acid-mediated hydrocyanation. The synthesis was achieved in 7 steps in 38% overall yield. Efforts toward increasing the regioselectivity in the Diels-Alder reaction, optimization of crystallization-induced dynamic resolution of the hydrocyanation product, and investigation of other synthetic routes will be presented.
A team at Kyowa Hakko Kirin in Japan has used a crystallisation-induced dynamic resolution in the synthesis of KW-4490, a PDE-4 inhibitor being developed for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.6 Towards the end of the synthesis, they were faced with a mixture of cis and trans diastereomers of an intermediate derived from a hydrocyanation reaction, which was about 62:38 cis:trans; altering the conditions of the reaction did not give a selective process. The desired isomer was the cis, so they wanted to convert the unwanted trans isomer to cis to improve the yield (Scheme 2).
They first tried using a base-induced isomerisation using a base such as potassium t-butoxide, but although this worked to a degree the best ratio of products obtained was 75:25. The same result was obtained when they tested the system on both pure cis and trans isomers, indicating that this ratio represented the thermodynamic equilibrium. However, they realised that the cis isomer was less soluble in ethanol, so they thought the answer might lie in crystallisation-induced dynamic resolution.
They therefore suspended a crude mixture of the two isomers in ethanol and added a catalytic amount of potassium t-butoxide to effect the isomerisation. It was stirred and warmed, and hexane added portion-wise to crash the cis isomer out of solution. The group managed to increase the ratio of isomers to 99:1 by continuous isomerisation, with a 90% isolated yield.
Scheme 2: Kyowa Hakko Kirin found a way to improve the yield of the cis isomer

A practical and scalable synthesis of a PDE4 inhibitor KW-4490 (1) was developed. This improved synthesis features the construction of the 1-arylcyclohexene (9) by the Diels−Alder reaction followed by a newly established Brønsted acid-promoted hydrocyanation. Subsequent crystallization-induced dynamic resolution enabled the high-yield production of the desired cis-isomer (cis-8). The synthesis was achieved in seven steps in 37% overall yield.
Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) is a cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-specific phosphodiesterase which is located predominantly in inflammatory cells. High levels of cAMP inhibit the production of cytokines and other molecules that modulate the inflammatory response.(1) Therefore, PDE4 inhibitors have emerged as potential therapeutic agents in the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).(2) Since cis-4-cyano-4-(2,3-dihydro-8-methoxy-1,4-benzodioxin-5-yl)cyclohexanecarboxylic acid (KW-4490, 1) was identified in Kyowa Hakko Kirin as a potent PDE4 inhibitor,(3) multikilogram quantities were thus required in order to carry out both pharmacological profiling and clinical trials. Structurally, the compound presents the interesting synthetic challenges of constructing a tetra-substituted electron-rich benzene, a tertiary benzylic nitrile, and cis stereochemistry of a carboxylic acid on a 1,4-disubstituted cyclohexane.
In general, tertiary benzylic nitriles has been prepared by the double alkylation of benzylic nitrile,(4) arylations of secondary nitrile anions with aryl halides,(5) or the displacement of tertiary benzylic alcohol with cyanide.(6) The latest approach was applied to our medicinal chemistry synthesis of 1, which was suitable for the delivery of multigram quantities .(3b)

Moxifloxacin is a synthetic fluoroquinolone antibiotic agent. Bayer AG developed the drug (initially called BAY 12-8039) and it is marketed worldwide (as the hydrochloride) under the brand name Avelox (in some countries also Avalox) for oral treatment
For the treatment of sinus and lung infections such as sinusitis, pneumonia, and secondary infections in chronic bronchitis. Also for the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis (pinkeye).
Moxifloxacin and its salts are antibacterial agents, which were disclosed in EP 550,903. Moxifloxacin, chemically 1-Cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-8-methoxy-7-[(4aS, 7aS)-octahydro-6H-pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridine-6-yl]-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid
Moxifloxacin is a fourth-generation synthetic fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent developed by Bayer AG (initially called BAY 12-8039). It is marketed worldwide (as the hydrochloride) under the brand names AveloxAvalox, and Avelon for oral treatment. In most countries, the drug is also available in parenteral form for intravenous infusion. Moxifloxacin is also sold in an ophthalmic solution (eye drops) under the brand names VigamoxMoxezafor the treatment of conjunctivitis (pink eye).
A United States patent application was submitted on 30 June 1989, for Avelox (moxifloxacin hydrochloride).[1] In 1999 Avelox was approved by theU.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the United States.[2]
In the United States, moxifloxacin is licensed for the treatment of acute bacterial sinusitis, acute bacterial exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, community acquired pneumonia, complicated and uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections, and complicated intra-abdominal infections.[3]
In the European Union, it is licensed for acute bacterial exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, non-severe community-acquired pneumonia, and acute bacterial sinusitis. Based on its investigation into reports of rare but severe cases of liver toxicity and skin reactions, the European Medicines Agency recommended in 2008 that the use of the oral (but not the IV) form of moxifloxacin be restricted to infections in which other antibacterial agents cannot be used or have failed.[4] In the US, the marketing approval does not contain these restrictions, though the label contains prominent warnings against skin reactions.
MOXIFLOXACIN
Avelox (moxifloxacin) was launched in the United States in 1999 and is currently marketed in more than 80 countries worldwide. In the United States, Avelox is marketed by Bayer’s partner Merck.
In 2011 the FDA added two boxed warnings for this drug in reference to spontaneous tendon ruptures and the fact that moxifloxacin may cause worsening of myasthenia gravis symptoms, including muscle weakness and life-threatening breathing problems.[5]
Moxifloxacin is used to treat a number of infections including: respiratory tract infectionscellulitisanthrax, intraabdominal infections, endocarditis,meningitis, and tuberculosis.[6]
The initial approval by the FDA (December 1999)[7] encompassed the following indications:
  • Acute Exacerbations of Chronic Bronchitis (AECB)
  • Acute Bacterial Sinusitis (ABS)
  • Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP)
Additional indications were approved by the FDA as follows:
  • April 2001: Uncomplicated Skin and Skin Structure Infections (uSSSI)[8]
  • May 2004: Community Acquired Pneumonia caused by multi-drug resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae.[9]
  • June 2005: Complicated Skin and Skin Structure Infections (cSSSI)[10]
  • November 2005: Complicated Intra-Abdominal Infections (cIAI).[11]
The European Union requires that moxifloxacin only be prescribed when other antibiotics that have been initially recommended for treatment cannot be used or have failed.[12][13]
At the current time,[when?] there are no approved uses within the pediatric population for Oral and I.V. moxifloxacin. A significant number of drugs found within this class, including moxifloxacin, are not licensed by the FDA for use in children due to the risk of permanent injury to the musculoskeletal system.[14][15][16]
In ophthalmology, moxifloxacin is approved for the treatment of conjunctival infections caused by susceptible bacteria.[17]
Note: Moxifloxacin may be licensed for other uses, or restricted, by the various regulatory agencies worldwide
Marketing authorisations for the tablet and injectable forms of Moxifloxacin are held by Bayer, while Alcon (now a subsidiary of Novartis) produces ophthalmic solutions for treating conjunctivitis under the brand names of Moxeza, Vigamox, and Moxivig. Avelox generated sales of USD320 million in the first 9 months of 2013.
Moxifloxacin is available in three distinct administration forms. Formulated as a salt, Moxifloxacin hydrochloride is sold as an oral 400 mg film-coated tablet and as an injectable solution for infusion by Bayer; although in the US it is distributed by Merck Sharp and Dohme under license from Bayer.
Alcon has formulated Moxifloxacin hydrochloride as a 0.5% ophthalmic solution under license from Bayer. Moxifloxacin was first discovered in 1988 and received the first market authorisation eleven years later in 1999 in the US.
Moxifloxacin hydrochloride is a synthetic broad-spectrum antibacterial agent. The active moiety, moxifloxacin has been shown to be clinically active against most strains of microorganisms such as aerobic gram-positive microorganisms including staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus pneumonia (penicillin-susceptible strains) and streptococcus pyogenes, aerobic gram-negative microorganisms including haemophilus influenza hemophilus parainfluenzae, klebisiella pneumonia. Moxifloxacin is commercially available under the brand name of AVELOX® marketed by Bayer pharms.
VIGAMOX® (moxifloxacin hydrochloride ophthalmic solution) 0.5% is a sterile solution for topical ophthalmic use. Moxifloxacin hydrochloride is an 8-methoxy fluoroquinolone anti-infective, with a diazabicyclononyl ring at the C7 position.

VIGAMOX® solution is an isotonic solution with an osmolality of approximately 290 mOsm/kg.
Market Considerations
Amongst the US approvals, Dr. Reddy’s, Teva, Torrent, and Aurobindo have received tentative approvals for the 400 mg oral tablet formulation. Akorn, Teva and Apotex have received tentative approvals for a Moxifloxacin hydrochloride ophthalmic solution. No 180 day period of exclusivity has been awarded since all patents were found to be valid.
In the UK, Teva, Rivopharm, and Double-E Pharma have received marketing authorisations for the 400 mg Moxifloxacin tablets, while Noridem has received a market authorisation for the equivalent 400mg/250ml solution for infusion. A similar trend of generic competition, for tablets and infusions, following molecule patent expiry is expected throughout Europe. Currently no generic market authorisations for ophthalmic formulations have been granted in major European countries. However, Sandoz and Hexal have gained market authorisations in some European markets for the ophthalmic dosage form following Novartis’ acquisition of Alcon.
In Canada the only generic manufacturer holding a marketing authorisation is Sandoz, however, this was granted as a New Drug Submission rather than as an ANDS. Following patent expiries from mid-2014, the European and North American markets are likely to have significant competition if the numbers of companies filing litigation, ANDS, ANDAs and the like in the northern hemisphere is anything to go by.
MOXIFLOXACIN

History

Moxifloxacin was first patented (United States patent) in 1991 by Bayer A.G., and again in 1997.[47] Avelox was subsequently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the United States in 1999 to treat specific bacterial infections.[2] Ranking 140th within the top 200 prescribed drugs in the United States for 2007[48] moxifloxacin, in the same manner asciprofloxacin, has proven to be a blockbuster drug for Bayer A. G., generating billions of dollars in additional revenue. In 2007 alone, Avelox generated sales of $697.3 million dollars worldwide.[26]
Moxifloxacin is also manufactured by Alcon as Vigamox.[citation needed]

Patent

A United States patent application was made on 30 June 1989, for Avelox (moxifloxacin hydrochloride),(Bayer A.G. being the assignee), which was subsequently approved on 5 February 1991. This patent was scheduled to expire on 30 June 2009. However, this patent was extended for an additional two and one half years on 16 September 2004, and as such is not expected to expire until 2012.[49] Moxifloxacin was subsequently (ten years later) approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the United States in 1999. There have been at least four additional United States patents filed regarding moxifloxacin hydrochloride since the 1989 United States application,[47][50] as well as patents outside of the USA.

Additional regulatory history

6/12/2002 Changes made to minimize the impact of warnings concerning adverse reactions.[51]
26 June 2003 New Zealand Pharmacovigilance warns of moxifloxacin induced respiratory insufficiency.[52]
10/6/2003 Changes made to minimize the impact of post marketing reports as well as the risk of tendon injuries.[53]
29 December 2008 Addition of numerous adverse reactions associated with the use of moxifloxacin.[54]
27 April 2009 Issuance of a Medication Guide and revisions to include new safety information including the addition of the Black Box Warning to the Medication Guide. The FDA had determined that Moxifloxacin poses a serious and significant public health concern, requiring the distribution of a Medication Guide.[55]
24 June 2009 Updating of the carton and container labels to include a statement to let dispensers know that a Medication Guide must be dispensed with the product.(emphasis added)[56]

As indicated by the Key Patent Indicator (Fig. 2), patents in the families with priority DE3824072A, 15/07/1988 (‘072), and DE4200414A, 10/01/1992, (‘414) provide protection for the Moxifloxacin molecule and are considered to be the main constraint to generic entry. As patents in the ‘414 family have expired or were never granted, the only remaining constraint to generic entry is the ‘072 family. The term of the Australian patent of this family have been extended to 19 June 2014 while the Canadian member will enjoy the longer term of 17 years from grant, expiring in November 2015.
Supplementary protection certificates (SPCs) have been granted in France, Germany, Spain and the UK, and will expire in June 2014. Given that there are less than 2 years until these SPCs expire, and that as yet no applications for paediatric extension of the SPCs have been published in Europe, they are unlikely to be extended by 6 months on the basis of the approved Paediatric Investigation Plans.
The US member, 4,990,517 (‘517), protecting the general structure of the Moxifloxacin molecule, expired in June 2012, after enjoying 6 month paediatric extension on top of a 901 day s156 extension. However, the absence of generics on the US market is due to Bayer securing a divisional patent, 5,607,942 (‘942). This patent claims the Moxifloxacin molecule specifically and is due to expire in September 2014, after being awarded a 6 month paediatric extension.
Members of the ‘072 family from both Canada and the US have been the subject of litigation after generic manufacturers identified these patents in paragraph IV filings, and the equivalent in Canada, as early as 2006. After filing an infringement suit in the US against Teva in relation to US ‘517, US ‘942, Bayer enjoyed a satisfying validification of their patents when Teva agreed that it would be infringing two of the patents, while the third was decided by the court to be equally valid.
In Canada, Novopharm, Cobalt, Apotex, Mylan and Apotex have also all tested the litigation waters relating to the equivalent patent with no success noted so far.
A third patent family that promises to be a constraint for generic ophthalmic formulations is Alcon’s 1998 patent, US10250498P (Fig. 2), which identifies an ophthalmic formulation of Moxifloxacin and its use in the treatment and prevention of eye infections. Patents in this family are set to expire in August 2019. US members 6,716,830 (‘830) and 7,671,070 (‘070) have been awarded a 6 month paediatric extension, extending their expiration until March 2020. The validity of US ‘830 was upheld following Teva filing paragraph IV certifications to manufacture generic Vigamox. Teva has since appealed this ruling.
In addition, Alcon has filed patent infringement suits against Watson, Lupin and Apotex in relation to US ‘070 after they submitted Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs)with paragraph IV filings in preparation for commercialisation of a Moxeza/Vigamox generic equivalent. There has been no outcome from these suits to date. In addition, applications for Orders of Prohibition against Cobalt, Apotex and Teva have also been noted for the equivalent Canadian patent following the filing of Abbreviated New Drug Submissions (ANDS) by these companies.
The equivalent European patent 1,117,401 was revoked following opposition by Teva filed in the European patent office. Its divisional patents, 1,384,478 (granted) and 2,301,541 (accepted) have restricted claims to the use of Moxifloxacin in the topical treatment of ophthalmic infections caused by P. aeruginosa and H. influenza, respectively. This may provide a prepared generic competitor an opportunity to launch their Moxifloxacin ophthalmic equivalent in Europe soon after the expiry of patents protecting the molecule, subject to legal review of the remaining claims of the patent.
Alcon have secured additional protection for their Moxeza ophthalmic formulation by way of patents in the family with priority US5987708P (09/06/2008). Patent claims specify ratios of Moxifloxacin to inactive ingredients and additional inactive ingredients and therefore generic competitors are likely to circumvent the patent by reformulation. Lupin has filed paragraph IV certifications to US8450311, which is currently subject of a patent infringement suit.
Families with priorities DE19546249A (12/12/1995), DE19751948A (24/11/1997), DE19855758A (10/11/1998) and US36433499A (30/07/1999) are not considered to be a constraint to generic entry because the protected technologies are likely to be circumvented.
Generic equivalents
In 2007, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware held that two Bayer patents on Avelox (moxifloxacin hydrochloride) are valid and enforceable, and infringed by Dr. Reddy’s ANDA for a generic version of Avelox.[70][71] The district court sided with Bayer, citing the Federal Circuit’s prior decision in Takeda v. Alphapharm[72] as “affirming the district court’s finding that defendant failed to prove a prima facie case of obviousness where the prior art disclosed a broad selection of compounds, any one of which could have been selected as a lead compound for further investigation, and defendant did not prove that the prior art would have led to the selection of the particular compound singled out by defendant.” According to Bayer’s press release[70] announcing the court’s decision, it was noted that Teva had also challenged the validity of the same Bayer patents at issue in the Dr. Reddy’s case. Within Bayer’s first quarter 2008 stockholder’s newsletter[73]
Bayer stated that they had reached an agreement with Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., the adverse party, to settle their patent litigation with regard to the two Bayer patents. Under the settlement terms agreed upon, Teva would obtain a license to sell its generic moxifloxacin tablet product in the U.S. shortly before the second of the two Bayer patents expires in March 2014.

DESCRIPTION
  • Moxifloxacin is a therapeutic agent that shows a broad spectrum antibacterial action. Moxifloxacin is the international non-proprietary name (INN) for 1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-8-methoxy-7-[(4aS,7aS)-octahydro-6H-pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridin-6-yl]-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid.
  • The structure of moxifloxacin corresponds to formula (I):
    Figure imgb0001
  • Racemic moxifloxacin was firstly described in EP-A-350733 and, particularly, moxifloxacin having a (S,S)-configuration is described inEP-A-550903 .
  • In experimental example 19 of EP-A-550903 and example Z19 of EP-A-591808 , a method for preparing and isolating moxifloxacin base is described. The same method is described in patent document EP-A-592868 ). These published patent applications neither describe nor suggest the possible existence of a crystalline form of moxifloxacin base. In WO-A-2008059521 it is disclosed that by performing the mentioned examples an acetonitrile solvated form of moxifloxacin with low purity is obtained, and so the obtained solvate form can not be used as such in pharmaceutical formulations. In the above mentioned examples, the obtained moxifloxacin base crude is purified and isolated by chromatography using methylene chloride/methanol/17% aqueous ammonia as the solvent system. The purification process disclosed in said documents has been reproduced by the authors of the present invention, but only an amorphous form of moxifloxacin was obtained. This process for the purification and isolation of moxifloxacin base is complex and difficult to perform on industrial scale due to the need for purifying the product by column chromatography.
  • WO-A-9926940 discloses a process for the preparation of moxifloxacin from a difluoro precursor comprising the step of adjusting the pH to 6.8- 7.0. However, the reproduction of this example shows that at this pH moxifloxacin hydrochloride or a mixture of moxifloxacin hydrochloride and moxifloxacin base is obtained, since the X-ray diffractogram of the isolated compound corresponds with the hydrochloride moxifloxacin. This fact has also been confirmed by the reproduction of the subsequent crystallization described in the international patent application of the previous compound in ethanol/water. The behaviour of this solid was very different regarding its solubility in respect what was described in the international patent application.
  • WO-A-2004091619 and WO-A-2007010555 disclose the preparation of moxifloxacin base as a solid. Nevertheless, they do not describe nor suggest the preparation of a crystalline form of moxifloxacin base. The authors of the present invention have proved that the X-ray diffractogram of the product obtained by reproducing the reference example disclosed in WO-A-2004091619 , based on a pH adjustment to 7.0-7.2, corresponds to the X-ray diffractogram of the monohydrate of moxifloxacin hydrochloride disclosed in US 5849752 . Similarly, by reproducing the reference example of WO-A-2007010555 , also for obtaining moxifloxacin base but based on a pH adjustment to 5.0-6.0, it is neither expected to obtain moxifloxacin base due to the adjustment of the solution within a range of acidic pH values.
  • [0008]
    WO-A-2008059521 discloses a process for the preparation of a crystalline form of moxifloxacin base, designated as Form I, by recrystallization in a ketosolvent, such as acetone. This form is characterized by its X-ray diffraction pattern corresponding to a hemihydrate. The best yield obtained is a 78.2% starting from moxifloxacin hydrochloride in example 18. This crystalline form has a tendency to occlude solvent molecules within the crystalline network in amounts very superiors to the allowed ones by for Guidelines Residual Solvents (CPMP/ICH/283/95) and can be difficult to impossible to remove by drying, what forces to carry out laborious treatments, either physical, or chemical to reach allowed solvent levels. The presence of any non-aqueous solvents in amounts over the allowed ones would not make this crystalline form suitable for the preparation of pharmaceutical formulations.
  • The existence of polymorphs is unpredictable and there is no a priori established procedure to prepare an unknown polymorph. The difference in the physical properties of different morphological forms results from the orientation and intermolecular interactions of adjacent molecules are complexes in the bulk solid. Furthermore, the different solid forms of a pharmaceutically active ingredient can have different characteristics, and offer certain advantages in methods of manufacture and also in pharmacology. Thus, the discovery of new solid forms can contribute to clear improvements in the efficiency of methods of production and/or improvements in the characteristics of the pharmaceutical formulations of the active ingredients, since some forms are more adequate for one type of formulation, and other forms for other different formulations.

Moxifloxacin Hydrochloride
Moxifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone broad spectrum antibacterial particularly against Gram-positive bacteria significantly better than those of Sparfloxacin and Ciprofloxacin that was disclosed in EP No 350,733 and EP No 550,903. Moxifloxacin has activity against Gram- negative and Gram-positive organisms, including Streptococcus pneumonia, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, particularly against the respiratory disease-causing pathogens like Mycoplasma pneumonia, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Chlamydia pneumoniae and the activity shown to be unaffected by B-lactamases .
US Patent No 5,157,117 discloses (l-cyclopropyl-6, 7-difluoro-8-methoxy- 4-oxo-l, 4-dihydro-3-quinoline carboxylic acid-O3, 04)bis (acyloxy-O) borate and process for its preparation by reacting ethyl-1- cyclopropyl-6, 7-difluoro-8-methoxy-4-oxo-l, -dihydro-3-quinoline carboxylate with Boric acid and acetic anhydride in presence of zinc chloride and its conversion to Gatifloxacin hydrochloride.
WO 2005/012285 discloses the process for the preparation of moxifloxacin hydrochloride using a novel intermediate namely (4aS-Cis)-(1-cyclopropyl-7-(2,8-diazabicyclo[4,3,0]non-8-yl)-6-fluoro-8-methoxy-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-3-quinoline carboxylic acid-O3,O4)bis(acycloxy-O)borate.
Hydrates of Moxifloxacin hydrochloride known are the anhydrous and monohydrate. US Patent No. 5,849,752 discloses the monohydrate of Moxifloxacin hydrochloride and its preparation by treating the anhydrous crystalline form with ethanol/ water mixtures.
The prior art disclosed in European Patent No’s EP 350,733, EP 550,903 and EP 657,448 discloses the preparation of Moxifloxacin hydrochloride involving the condensation of l-cyclopropyl-6, 7-difluoro-8-methoxy-4- oxo-1, 4-dihydro-3-quinoline carboxylic acid or its esters with (S,S) 2,8-Diaza bicyclo [4.3.0] nonane in presence of a base and its conversion to hydrochloride at higher temperatures leading to the desired Moxifloxacin along with its positional isomer namely (4aS-Cis)-l- cyclopropyl-6- (2, 8-diazabicyclo [4.3.0] non-8-yl) -7-fluoro-8-methoxy-4- oxo-1, 4-dihydro-3-quinoline carboxylic acid as a major impurity. As the impurity and the Moxifloxacin are positional isomers they are difficult to separate. Purification of Moxifloxacin to remove this isomer results in lower yields thereby increasing the product cost. Similarly methods described in the prior art involves the preparation of Moxifloxacin and then its conversion to its hydrochloride thereby incorporating an additional step in the manufacturing process also leading to lowering of yields.
Moxifloxacin and its pharmacologically acceptable salts are disclosed in European patents EP 350733, EP 550903 and EP 657,448. The disclosed process for the preparation of moxifloxacin hydrochloride comprises of condensing l-cyclopropyl-6,7- difluoro-8-methoxy-4-oxo-l,4-dihydro-3-quinoline carboxylic acid or its esters with (S,S)2,8-diazobicyclo[4.3.0]nonane, in presence of a base at high temperature followed by conversion into hydrochloride salt .
This process not only produces desired moxifloxacin hydrochloride but also its positional isomer namely l-cyclopropyl-7-fluoro- 1,4- dihydro -8- methoxy -6- (4aS,7aS)- octahydro- 6H -pyrrolo [3,4-b] pyridine-6-yl] -4- oxo-quinolinecarboxylic acid as a major impurity which is difficult to separate. The purification of moxifloaxcin to remove this isomer results in lower yields thereby increasing the product cost.

The anhydrization of pyridine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid (I) with acetic anhydride gives the corresponding anhydride (II), which by treatment with benzylamine (III) is converted into the benzylimide (IV). The hydrogenation of (IV) with H2 over Pd/C yields 8-benzyl-2,8-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]nonane-7,9-dione (V), which is further hydrogenated with LiAlH4, affording (?-cis-8-benzyl-2,8-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]nonane (VI) (1). The optical resolution of (VI) by separation of the cis-(R,R)-isomer as crystalline L-(+)-tartrate and further purification of the cis-(S,S)-isomer (VII) as the D-(-)-tartrate affords enantiomerically pure (S,S)-8-benzyl-2,8-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]nonane (VII). The debenzylation of (VII) by hydrogenolysis with H2 over Pd/C gives (S,S)-2,8-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]nonane (VIII), which is condensed with 1-cyclopropyl-6,7-difluoro-8-methoxy-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (IX) in basic medium and finally salified with HCl. The 1-cyclopropyl-6,7-difluoro-8-methoxy-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (IX) has been obtained as follows: The reaction of 2,4,5-trifluoro-3-methoxybenzoyl chloride (X) with malonic acid monoethyl ester monopotassium salt (XI) by means of triethylamine gives 2-(2,4,5-trifluoro-3-methoxybenzoyl)acetic acid ethyl ester (XII), which is condensed with triethyl orthoformate yielding the corresponding ethoxymethylene derivative (XIII). The reaction of (XIII) with cyclopropylamine affords the cyclopropylaminomethylene derivative (XIV), which is finally cyclized to (IX) by means of NaF in DMF.

The condensation of 2,4,5-trifluoro-3-methoxybenzoyl chloride (I) with 14C-labeled diethyl malonate (II) by means of MgCl2 and TEA gives the benzoylmalonate (III), which is monodecarboxylated with TsOH in refluxing water, yielding the benzoylacetate (IV). The reaction of (IV) with triethyl orthoformate and Ac2O at 140 C affords the benzoylacrylate (V), which is treated with cyclopropylamine (VI) in cyclohexane to provide ethyl 3-(cyclopropylamino)-2-(2,4,5-trifluoro-3-methoxybenzoyl)acrylate (VII). The cyclization of (VII) by means of K2CO3 in hot N-methylpyrrolidone gives the quinolone carboxylate (VIII), which is hydrolyzed with NaOH in hot methanol, affording the carboxylic acid (IX). Finally, this compound is condensed with (S,S)-2,8-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]octane (X) by means of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) in refluxing acetonitrile.

SYNTHESIS REVIEW
Beilstein J. Org. Chem. 2013, 9, 2265–2319.
While isolated pyridines are a vital component in numerous drugs the related quinoline/quinolone scaffolds are becoming increasingly common. One such example is nalidixic acid (1.101, in fact a naphthyridone, Figure 2). Nalidixic acid is a prototype quinolone antibiotic that has been used extensively as an effective treatment against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria. In general, quinolone antibiotics act by interfering with the enzymes DNA-gyrase and/or topoisomerase of bacteria [55]. Moxifloxacin (1.102, Avelox) and levofloxacin (1.103, Levaquin) are two third-generation fluoroquinolone antibiotics which also appear amongst the top selling drugs. These compounds display similar SAR data [56]. For instance, in the case of moxifloxacin the fluorine atom in the C6 position enhances microbial activity while a methoxy group in the C8 position is reported to increase potency and decrease toxicity. Furthermore, it was found that a cyclopropyl group was beneficial for the enzyme–DNA binding complex while the bulky nitrogen-based appendage at C7 helps to bind to DNA gyrase and hinders the efflux of the drug from the bacterial cell.

Figure 2: Structures of nalidixic acid, levofloxacin and moxifloxacin.
Due to the elaborate substitution pattern of the parent quinolone ring systems these compounds are usually prepared via a linear consecutive sequence. In the case of moxifloxacin, an intramolecular base catalysed nucleophilic aromatic substitution is used to prepare the bicyclic ring system of the highly substituted aromatic1.104 (Scheme 19). A SNAr reaction is then used to introduce the saturated piperidinopyrrolidine appendage 1.105to furnish the desired structure [57-60]. In order to obtain a high yield for the substitution reaction a one-pot procedure was developed, initial masking of the acid (1.104) is achieved by silylation with subsequent borane chelate formation. Addition of the amine nucleophile 1.105 under basic conditions then renders the desired product in high yield. The available patent literature however does not comment on regioselectivity issues of the SNAr reaction due to the presence of the second fluoride substituent in the substrate, although not necessarily as electronically favourable for displacement it is certainly more accessible.

Scheme 19: Synthesis of moxifloxacin.
The saturated (S,S)-2,8-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]nonane (1.105) used in the final step can be prepared by a double nucleophilic substitution between tosylamine and 2,3-bis-chloromethylpyridine (1.112) followed by catalytic reduction of the resulting bicycle using palladium on carbon in acetic acid (Scheme 20). As the corresponding sulfonamide 1.113 was found to be a crystalline solid a resolution using (D)-(+)-O,O-dibenzoyltartaric acid was reported to separate the enantiomers [Petersen, U.; Schenke, T.; Krebs, A.; Schenke, T.; Philipps, T.; Grohe, K.; Bremm, K.-D.; Endermann, R.; Metzger, K. G.

PAPER
First way of enantioselective synthesis of moxifloxacin intermediate
LI GuangXun, WU Lei, FU QingQuan, TANG Zhuo, ZHANG XiaoMei
A new method of enantioselective synthesis of (S,S)-2,8-diazobicyclo [4.3.0] nonane was found by using (R)-2-amino-2-phenyl-ethanol as chiral induction reagent. The entire synthetic process included 8 steps which were easy to operate with high yield. The purification method was only simple recrystallization or even used directly in the next step without further purification. The total yield was 29%.
