Benefits of technology

[0011]As described herein, the present invention provides processes for preparing CFTR correctors useful in the treatment of cystic fibrosis. Such compounds include 3-(6-(1-(2,2-difluorobenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)cyclopropanecarboxamido)-3-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzoic acid (hereinafter “Compound 1”) which ha

Problems solved by technology

In contrast, individuals with two copies of the CF associated gene suffer from the debilitating and fatal effects of CF, including chronic lung disease.
In patients with cystic fibrosis, mutations in CFTR endogenously expressed in respiratory epithelia leads to reduced apical anion secretion causing an imbalance in ion and fluid transport.
The resulting decrease in anion transport contributes to enhanced mucus accumulation in the lung and the accompanying microbial infections that ultimately cause death in CF patients.
In addition to respiratory disease, CF patients typically suffer from gastrointestinal problems and pancreatic insufficiency that, if left untreated, results in death.
This results in the inability of the mutant protein to exit the ER, and traffic to the plasma membrane.
In addition to impaired trafficking, the mutation results in defective channel gating.
Together, the reduced number of channels in the membrane and the defective gating lead to reduced anion transport across epithelia leading to defective ion and fluid transport.
As discussed above, it is believed that the deletion of residue 508 in ΔF508-CFTR prevents the nascent protein from folding correctly, resulting in the inability of this mutant protein to exit the ER, and traffic to the plasma membrane.
As a result, insufficient amounts of the mature protein are present at the plasma membrane and chloride transport within epithelial tissues is significantly reduced.

Methods & Materials

[0342]Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)

[0343]The Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) data of Compound 1 were collected using a DSC Q100 V9.6 Build 290 (TA Instruments, New Castle, Del.). Temperature was calibrated with indium and heat capacity was calibrated with sapphire. Samples of 3-6 mg were weighed into aluminum pans that were crimped using lids with 1 pin hole. The samples were scanned from 25° C. to 350° C. at a heating rate of 1.0° C. / min and with a nitrogen gas purge of 50 ml / min. Data were collected by Thermal Advantage Q Series™ version 2.2.0.248 software and analyzed by Universal Analysis software version 4.1D (TA Instruments, New Castle, Del.). The reported numbers represent single analyses.

[0344]XRPD (X-ray Powder Diffraction)

[0345]The X-Ray diffraction (XRD) data of Form 1 were collected on a Bruker D8 DISCOVER powder diffractometer with HI-STAR 2-dimensional detector and a flat graphite monochromator. Cu sealed tube with Kα radiation was ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a process of providing the 3-(6-(1-(2,2-difluorobenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)cyclopropanecarboxamido)-3-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzoic acid in substantially free form (Compound 1).

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12 / 327,915, filed on Dec. 4, 2008, which claims the benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 to U.S. provisional patent application Ser. Nos. 61 / 012,181, filed Dec. 7, 2007, and 61 / 109,573, filed Oct. 30, 2008, the entire contents of all applications are incorporated herein by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to processes for the preparation of compounds useful for treating a CFTR mediated disease such as cystic fibrosis.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]CFTR is a cAMP / ATP-mediated anion channel that is expressed in a variety of cells types, including absorptive and secretory epithelia cells, where it regulates anion flux across the membrane, as well as the activity of other ion channels and proteins. In epithelia cells, normal functioning of CFTR is critical for the maintenance of electrolyte transport throughout the...
