Piramal Enterprises gets US FDA approval for P7435 IND

Piramal Enterprises Ltd has received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for its Investigational New Drug (IND) P7435. This is a novel, potent and highly selective, oral diacylglycerolacyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) inhibitor.
P7435 has been developed by the NCE Research Division of PEL for the management of metabolic disorders such as lipid abnormalities and diabetes. It is well-established that increased lipid levels’ (including triglycerides) is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). It has been reported by the World Health Organisation, that CVD, is the number one cause of deaths globally, representing approximately 30 per cent of all deaths. Currently, there is a significant medical need for effective and safe drugs for the management of lipid abnormalities and metabolic disorders.
P7435 has demonstrated its lipid lowering potential in various preclinical studies by showing significant reduction in triglyceride levels, glucose and insulin levels,and decrease in food intake and body weight gain -factors which are associated with lipid abnormalities and metabolic disorders.
PEL has established the safety and tolerability of P7435 in a phase I trial recently completed in India. This extension trial in the US will further evaluate the safety and efficacy of P7435 in a larger population.
Dr Swati Piramal, vice chairperson, Piramal Enterprises, said, “The NCE Research division of PEL continues its ambitious diabetes/metabolic disorders programme to discover and develop NCEs to fight against diseases like diabetes and lipid disorders. With P7435 we are looking at addressing a serious need for effective and well-tolerated drugs that treat lipid disorders, which are commonly associated with diabetes and CVDs. Expansion of this trial will allow testing this NCE in a wider population,which is critical to the development of this drug and will provide therapeutic solutions not just to India but also to the rest of the world.”
The NCE Research division of Piramal Enterprises focuses on the discovery and development of innovative small molecule medicines to improve the lives of patients suffering from cancer, metabolic disorders and inflammatory conditions. The key elements of its strategy include capitalizing on Piramal’s strengths, in particular the India advantage, and leveraging external partnerships to achieve high levels of R&D productivity. Piramal’s state-of-the-art Research Centre in Mumbai has comprehensive capabilities spanning target identification all the way through clinical development. Its robust pipeline, including 8 compounds in clinical development, bears testimony to its innovative and rigorous drug discovery process.

Steroid 17-alpha-hydroxylase inhibitors
CFG920 is a CYP17 inhibitor, is also an orally available inhibitor of the steroid 17-alpha-hydroxylase/C17,20 lyase (CYP17A1 or CYP17), with potential antiandrogen and antineoplastic activities. Upon oral administration, CYP17 inhibitor CFG920 inhibits the enzymatic activity of CYP17A1 in both the testes and adrenal glands, thereby inhibiting androgen production. This may decrease androgen-dependent growth signaling and may inhibit cell proliferation of androgen-dependent tumor cells.

Preclinical and clinical studies were performed to evaluate the efficacy of CFG-920, a dual cytochrome P450 (CYP)17 and CYP11B2 dual inhibitor, for the potential treatment of castration resistant prostate cancer. CFG-920 showed potent activity against human CYP17 and CYP11B2 enzymes with IC50 values of 0.023 and 0.034 microM, respectively. In monkeys, treatment with CFG-920 (3 mg/kg, po) showed good bioavailability (93%), Tmax of 0.5 h, Cmax of 1382 nM.dn and AUC of 2364 nM.h, while CFG-920 (10 mg/kg, po) showed F value of 183%, Cmax of 1179 nM.dn and Tmax of 1.04 h. In a phase I, first-in-man study, patients received continuous po dosing of CFG-920 (50 mg, bid) plus prednisone (5 mg) in 28-day cycles. At the time of presentation, CFG-920 was under phase II development.

Prostate cancer is the most commonly occurring cancer in men. Doctors often treat the metastatic stage of the disease by depriving the patient of sex hormones via chemical or surgical castration. But if it progresses far enough, the cancer can survive this therapy, transforming into the castration-resistant form. “Once the cancer becomes castration-resistant, the prognosis is poor,” said Novartis’s Christoph Gaul.
In recent years, CYP17, a bifunctional 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase cytochrome P450 enzyme, has emerged as a target for treating castration-resistant prostate cancer. The enzyme catalyzes the biosynthesis of sex hormones, including testosterone, and blocking it can starve prostate cancer of the androgens it needs to thrive.
Johnson & Johnson’s CYP17 inhibitor, abiraterone acetate (Zytiga), a steroid that binds irreversibly to CYP17, was approved by the Food & Drug Administration in 2011. But Novartis scientists thought they could make a better CYP17 inhibitor, Gaul told C&EN. They teamed up with researchers at Aurigene, in Bangalore, India, and came up with their clinical candidate, CFG920.
Unlike abiraterone, CFG920 isn’t a steroid, and it inhibits CYP17 reversibly. It also reversibly inhibits another cytochrome P450 enzyme, CYP11B2, which is involved in the synthesis of the mineralocorticoids, hormones that regulate cardiac function.
Treating prostate cancer patients by lowering their androgen levels turns out to have negative cardiac side effects: Patients’ lipid metabolism is thrown off and their mineralocorticoid levels jump, leading to increases in blood pressure. Those changes can be stressful for the heart. “If prostate cancer patients don’t die because of the cancer, a lot of times they die because of cardiac disease,” Gaul said.
Because CFG920 also keeps mineralocorticoid levels in check, Novartis is hoping the drug candidate will ameliorate some of the cardiac side effects of inhibiting CYP17. The compound is currently in Phase I clinical trials.

Abstract

A simple and convenient method to access 4-quinolone-3-carboxylic acid amides from indole-3-acetic acid amides through one-pot oxidative cleavage of the indole ring followed by condensation (Witkop–Winterfeldt type oxidation) was explored. The scope of the method was confirmed with more than 20 examples and was successfully applied to the synthesis of the drug Ivacaftor, the most expensive drug on the market.

Dr. Srinivasa Reddy of CSIR-NCL bags the

prestigious Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize

The award comprises a citation, a plaque, a cash prize of Rs 5 lakh
dr
The Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for the year 2015 in chemical sciences has been awarded to Dr. D. Srinivasa Reddy of CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory (CSIR-NCL), Pune for his outstanding contributions to the area of total synthesis of natural products and medicinal chemistry.
This is a most prestigious award given to the scientists under 45 years of age and who have demonstrated exceptional potential in Science and Technology. The award derives its value from its rich legacy of those who won this award before and added enormous value to Indian Science.
Dr. Reddy will be bestowed with the award at a formal function, which shall be presided over by the honourable Prime Minister. The award, named after the founder director general of Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR), Dr. Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar, comprises a citation, a plaque, a cash prize of Rs 5 lakh.
Dr. Reddy’s research group current interests are in the field of total synthesis and drug discovery by applying medicinal chemistry. He has also been involved in the synthesis of the agrochemicals like small molecules for crop protection. The total synthesis of more than twenty natural products has been achieved in his lab including a sex pheromone that attracts the mealy bugs and has potential use in the crop protection. On the medicinal chemistry front significant progress has been made by his group using a new concept called “Silicon-switch approach” towards central nervous system drugs. Identification of New Chemical Entities for the potential treatment of diabetes and infectious diseases is being done in collaboration with industry partners.
His efforts are evidenced by 65 publications and 30 patents. He has recently received the NASI-Reliance industries platinum jubilee award-2015 for application oriented innovations and the CRSI bronze medal. In addition, he is also the recipient of Central Drug Research Institute award for excellence in the drug research in chemical sciences and scientist of the year award by the NCL Research Foundation in the year 2013. Dr. Reddy had worked with pharmaceutical companies for seven years before joining CSIR-NCL in 2010.
