Process studies of E2212 (1) toward rapid clinical introduction are described. Through comprehensive routefinding studies and optimization of key condensation and cyclization steps, a racemate-based manufacturing route was established and successfully scaled-up to the hundred kilogram scale. For the rapid delivery of a drug substance containing the Z isomer for preclinical safety studies, the successful scale-up of the photoisomerization of an olefin in a flow system is also presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
