Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of organic synthesis, and particularly relates to an orforglipron intermediate and a method for preparing a key intermediate of orforglipron. BACKGROUND

[0002] Orforglipron (CAS: 2212020-52-3), chemical name: (1R, 2R)-1-(5-((S)-2, 2-dimethyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)-2-(3-(4-fluoro-1-methyl-2, 3-dihydro-1H-indazol-5-yl)-2-oxo-2, 3-dihydro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)-2-(4-fluoro-3, 5-dimethylphenyl)-4, 5, 6, 7-tetrahydro-2H-pyrazolo[4, 3-c]pyridine-5-carbonyl)-1, chemical structural formula is as follows:

[0003]

[0004] Orforglipron is a glucagon-like peptide (receptor agonist 1, GLP-1) receptor agonist developed by Lilly, which can be used for studying obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in adults. On April 17, 2025, Lilly announced the positive top-line results of their phase 3 clinical study, ACHIEVE-1. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of orforglipron in patients with type 2 diabetes, and the drug still shows good effect in patients with poor diet and exercise control. It is the first oral small molecule GLP-1 drug that successfully completes a phase 3 trial without restrictions on diet or water intake.

[0005] PCT patent application with publication number WO2018056453A1 discloses a preparation method of orforglipron, and the compound shown in formula I is a key intermediate for preparing orforglipron. The synthetic route for preparing the compound shown in formula I in the patent is shown in route 1. The compound shown in formula I is obtained through four steps of Negishi coupling, chiral column separation, hydrolysis and condensation, with 5-bromoindole-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (compound 31a) as a starting material. The problems of this route are as follows. First, the starting material is not easy to obtain, and 5-bromoindole-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester needs to be prepared from p-bromoaniline through multi-step reactions. In addition, expensive metal palladium and ligand are used in the coupling reaction, resulting in high cost. Chiral column separation is also needed to obtain chiral intermediates, which is difficult to be used for industrial production.

[0006] Route 1:

This route also has the problems of difficult to obtain starting material and use of expensive metal palladium and ligand, in addition to the problems of poor atom economy and low atom utilization rate caused by difficult to recycle chiral auxiliary, which is not conducive to cost reduction and does not conform to the purpose of green chemistry.

[0086] In the present application, the carbonyl reductase is a catalyst which can be added in the form of an enzyme or in the form of a microbial cell expressing the enzyme. In the present application, the carbonyl reductase is a carbonyl reductase with high stereoselectivity and high activity for the compound of formula III, which is screened from a large number of enzyme libraries from microbial sources, derived from Sporobolomyces salmonicolor, and used for catalyzing the preparation of the compound of formula IV from the compound of formula III, with high product concentration, high atom economy, simple operation, easy scale-up and easy separation and purification of the product, having a good industrial application prospect.

[0087] In the present application, the reduced coenzyme is preferably NADPH, which is preferably generated by a coenzyme regeneration system, i.e. the regeneration of NADPH is carried out at the same time as the biocatalytic reduction reaction; the coenzyme regeneration system is preferably any one of the following: 1) a glucose dehydrogenase regeneration system with glucose as a coenzyme regeneration substrate and glucose dehydrogenase as a coenzyme regeneration enzyme, containing NADPH or NADP + ; 2) an alcohol dehydrogenase regeneration system with isopropanol as a coenzyme regeneration substrate and alcohol dehydrogenase as a coenzyme regeneration enzyme, containing NADPH or NADP + ; 3) a formate dehydrogenase regeneration system with formate as a coenzyme regeneration substrate and formate dehydrogenase as a coenzyme regeneration enzyme, containing NADPH or NADP + .

The present application does not have any particular requirements for the glucose dehydrogenase, alcohol dehydrogenase and formate dehydrogenase, and corresponding enzymes well known to those skilled in the art can be used. In the examples of the present application, the amino acid sequence of the glucose dehydrogenase is shown in SEQ ID NO. 3, and is as follows:

[0089] In the present application, the NADPH provides a hydrogen source and determines the stereoconfiguration of the product, and the carbonyl reductase determines the catalytic efficiency and stereoselectivity.

[0090] In the present application, the coenzyme regeneration enzyme, i.e. the glucose dehydrogenase, alcohol dehydrogenase or formate dehydrogenase, can be added as an additive, or can be expressed together with the carbonyl reductase and exist simultaneously. When the carbonyl reductase and the coenzyme regeneration enzyme are co-expressed in the same microbial cell, a co-expression recombinant cell that clones the genes of the carbonyl reductase and the coenzyme regeneration enzyme is first constructed, and the two enzymes can be simultaneously and proportionally provided by simple fermentation of the microorganism, without the need for proportion adjustment according to the enzyme activities of the two enzymes, which is the advantage of co-expressing the two enzymes.

[0091] The carbonyl reductase of the present application has 343 amino acids and a clear structure, so that the coding gene, expression cassette and plasmid containing the gene, and transformant containing the plasmid can be easily obtained by those skilled in the art. These genes, expression cassettes, plasmids and transformants can be obtained by gene engineering construction methods known to those skilled in the art. For example, the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 can be connected to various commercially available conventional plasmid vectors to construct the plasmid. The plasmid is preferably a pET sequence plasmid, and more preferably a plasmid pET-28a(+). The recombinant expression plasmid can be prepared by the following method: the nucleic acid product obtained by PCR amplification and the expression vector pET-28a are digested with restriction endonuclease BamH I and Xho I respectively to form complementary cohesive ends, and then connected by T4 DNA ligase to form the recombinant expression plasmid pET-28a-SSCR (SSCR is carbonyl reductase) of the carbonyl reductase gene.

[0092] The recombinant expression plasmid pET-28a-SSCR can be transformed into a suitable host cell by conventional methods in the art, such as heat shock method, electroporation method, chemical method, etc., for example, into E. coli BL21 (DE3) competent cells. The preferred embodiment of the heat shock method is as follows: mix the plasmid solution with the competent cells, heat shock at 42°C for 45s, then ice bath for 2min, and then recover at 37°C for 1h, and then spread on LB agar medium containing kanamycin, and culture to obtain the recombinant expression transformant E. coli BL21 (DE3) / pET-28a-SSCR.

[0093] When the carbonyl reductase is co-expressed with a coenzyme regenerating enzyme such as glucose dehydrogenase (e.g. BmGDH), the two recombinant expression plasmids should be able to stably replicate by themselves, and the carbonyl reductase and coenzyme regenerating enzyme carried by them can be effectively expressed. Therefore, the recombinant expression plasmid pACYCDuet-1-BmGDH is also constructed, and the two recombinant plasmids pET-28a-SSCR and pACYCDuet-1-BmGDH are separately transformed into host cells, or the two recombinant plasmids pET-28a-SSCR and pACYCDuet-1-BmGDH are simultaneously transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3) competent cells to obtain the co-expression recombinant bacteria E. coli BL21 (DE3) / pACYCDuet-1-BmGDH / pET-28a-SSCR which clones the carbonyl reductase and coenzyme regenerating enzyme genes.

[0094] When used as a biocatalyst for preparing the compound of formula IV, the carbonyl reductase of the present application can be in the form of an enzyme or in the form of a bacteria, wherein the enzyme form includes free enzyme, immobilized enzyme, including purified enzyme, crude enzyme, fermentation broth, carrier immobilized enzyme, etc.; and the bacteria form includes viable bacteria (resting cells) and dead bacteria.

[0095] As is easily understood by those skilled in the art, the microbial cell contains coenzyme NADPH / NADP + (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, coenzyme II), NADH / NAD + (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, coenzyme I) is itself a natural form of enzyme immobilization and can be used as an enzyme preparation for catalyzing reactions without the need for disruption, even extraction and purification. Since the reaction substrate and reaction product can easily pass through the biological barrier of the cell membrane, the microbial cell does not need to be disrupted, which is economically advantageous. On the other hand, compared to the catalysis of isolated enzymes, the present application can provide a continuous and inexhaustible supply of enzymes or microbial cells through simple fermentation of microorganisms, without the need for further extraction, purification, and separation of enzymes, which is economically advantageous and creates conditions for industrial application.

The biocatalytic reduction reaction is preferably carried out at a pH of 6.5-7.5, which can be 6.5, 7, or 7.4.

[0098] In the present application, the biocatalytic reduction reaction is carried out after mixing the ogilaston intermediate of the structure shown in Formula III, the carbonyl reductase, the coenzyme regeneration system, and the phosphate buffer, and adjusting the pH of the resulting mixture to 6.5-7.5 by adding 10 wt% sodium hydroxide solution dropwise.
