For in advanced solid tumors.
Lucitanib (E-3810): Lucitanib, also known as E-3810, is a novel dual inhibitor targeting human vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs) and fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) with antiangiogenic activity. VEGFR/FGFR dual kinase inhibitor E-3810 inhibits VEGFR-1, -2, -3 and FGFR-1, -2 kinases in the nM range, which may result in the inhibition of tumor angiogenesis and tumor cell proliferation, and the induction of tumor cell death. Both VEGFRs and FGFRs belong to the family of receptor tyrosine kinases that may be upregulated in various tumor cell type
Overview
Lucitanib is an oral, potent inhibitor of the tyrosine kinase activity of fibroblast growth factor receptors 1 through 3 (FGFR1-3), vascular endothelial growth factor receptors 1 through 3 (VEGFR1-3) and platelet-derived growth factor receptors alpha and beta (PDGFR ฮฑ-ร). We own exclusive development and commercial rights to lucitanib on a global basis, excluding China. Lucitanib rights to markets outside of the U.S. and Japan have been sublicensed to Les Laboratoires Servier (Servier). We are collaborating with Servier on the global clinical development of lucitanib.
A Phase I/IIa clinical trial of lucitanib was initiated in 2010 and has demonstrated multiple objective responses in FGFR1 gene-amplified breast cancer patients, and objective responses were also observed in patients with tumors often sensitive to VEGFR inhibitors, such as renal cell and thyroid cancer. FGFR amplification is common in a number of tumor types, including breast cancer and squamous non-small cell lung cancer, and we intend to study lucitanib in these cancers as well as other solid tumors exhibiting FGFR pathway activation. A broad Phase II development program has been initiated by us and Servier in multiple indications, including advanced breast cancer and squamous NSCLC.

WO 2008/112408 Al and US 2008/0227812 Al disclose angiogenesis inhibitors with quinoline structure, useful for the treatment of neoplasias. One of the disclosed products is 6-(7-((l-aminocyclopropyl)methoxy)-6- methoxyquinolin-4-yloxy)-N-methyl-l-naphthamide of formula (I), described in example 3 of the above mentioned patent applications.
According to said documents, compound (I) is prepared by removing the benzyloxycarbonyl protective group from the compound benzyl l-((6- methoxy-4-(5-(methylcarbamoyl)-naphthalen-2-yloxy)quinolin-7- yloxy)methyl)cyclopropyl carbamate (II):
in acid medium or by hydrogenolysis, to give compound (I).
Compound (II) is obtained in a number of steps with different processes in which the benzyloxycarbonyl protected 1 -amino- 1-cyclopropylmethyl moiety is introduced by subjecting the acyl azide obtained from l-((6- methoxy-4-(5-(methylcarbamoyl)naphthalen-2-yloxy)quinolin-7- yloxy)methyl)cyclopropanecarboxylic acid of formula (III):
to Curtius rearrangement, in the presence of benzyl alcohol, or by alkylation of 6-(7-hydroxy-6-methoxyquinolin-4-yloxy)-N- methyl-1-naphthamide of formula (IV):
with 1 -benzyloxy carbony lamino- 1 -methylsolfonyloxymethyl- cyclopropane of formula (V):
The above mentioned applications do not provide yields concerning both the preparation of compound (II) by the two above mentioned reactions, and the conversion of compound (II) to (I).
Compound (III) is prepared by a process in which the 1-carboxy-l- cyclopropylmethyl moiety is introduced in 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyacetophenone as in the form of the ethyl ester, followed by formation of the 4- hydroxyquinoline ring and, finally, by the introduction of the 1- naphthylcarboxyamido fragment.
It is well known that the reactions requiring the use of azides, such as the formation of acyl azides, or Curtius rearrangement of the latter, are potentially hazardous as they involve risk of explosions, therefore they are not suitable for use in preparations on large scale. The synthetic methods reported in WO 2008/1 12408 and US
2008/0227812 include, inter alia, a general synthetic scheme in which the cycloalkyl-alkyl portion of the products is introduced by reaction between a cycloalkyl-alkyl mesylate and an hydroxy or amino acetophenone, followed by nitration to give a nitroacetofenone, reduction of the nitro group to amino group, formation of the 4-hydroxyquinoline ring and further work up of the latter to the final products. The above mentioned applications do not provide examples of the use of this process for compound (I) or the other described products.

The solid was filtered and rinsed with water twice further rinsed with ethanol. The crude product was dried in oven at 40°C for 2-3 hours. The product was purified with IPA by recrystalization to give 29 g of Formula II. MS: (M+1) 608. lH NMR conforms to Formula II from above Method A.

Representation of Process D
Process for preparation of 4-methoxybenzyl l-((6-methoxy-4-(5-(methylcarba- moyl)naphthalen-2-yloxy)-quinolin-7-yloxy)methyl)cyclopropyl-carbamate Formula II
A mixture of 2-(l-((6-methoxy-4-(5-(methylcarbamoyl)naphthalen-2-yloxy)quino-lin-7- yloxy)methyl)cyclopropyl)acetyl azide formula 17 (WO2008112408, 150 mg) and 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol (0.15 ml) in toluene (10 ml) was refluxed for 1.5 hour. The reaction was evaporated and purified with silica gel column to give the titled product. Mass: (M + 1), 608
Example 5
Representation of Process E Process for preparation of 4-methoxybenzyl l-((6-methoxy-4-(5-(methylcarba- moyl)naphthalen-2-yloxy)-quinolin-7-yloxy)methyl)cyclopropylcarbamate Formula II
A mixture of 6-Hydroxy- 1 -naphthoic acid (1 g) and H2SO4 (0.2ml) in EtOH (25 ml) was refluxed overnight and evaporated, followed by dissolving into EtOAc. The solution was washed with water, IN NaHC03 solution and brine, further dried by Na2S04. The solution was evaporated to give crude ethyl 6-hydroxy- 1 -naphthoate 0.9 g which was reacted with formula 12 at similar preparation conditions to formula 13 of Example 3 to give the above product of formula 18. Formula 19 was similarly prepared to formula 14 of Example 3.
A reaction between formula 19 and formula 15d similarly to the preparation of Formula II of Method A gave ethyl 6-(6-methoxy-7-((l-((4-methoxybenzyloxy)carbonylamino)cyclopro- pyl)methoxy)quinolin-4-yloxy)- 1 -naphthoate which was hydro lyzed with 10% NaOH in EtOH at RT to give 6-(6-methoxy-7-((l-((4-methoxybenzyloxy)carbonylamino)cyclopropyl)methoxy)- quinolin-4-yloxy)-l -naphthoic acid. The resulting acid was acylated similarly to the preparation of formula 1 1 of Example 3 with CH3NH2.HC1 under the heat pre- activation at the presence of CDI to give the titled product.
Example 6
Representation of Process F
Process for preparation of 4-methoxybenzyl l-((6-methoxy-4-(5-(methylcarbamoyl)- naphthalen-2-yloxy)-quinolin-7-yloxy)methyl)cyclopropylcarbamate Formula II
To a mixture of 4-chloro-6-methoxyquilolin-7-ol (formula 21, 5.2g), l-((4-methoxyben- zyloxy)carbonylamino)cyclopropanecarboxylate (formula 15b, 8.3g) and triphenylphosphine (9.8 g) in THF (250 ml) was added DEAD (6.5 g) dropwise at RT in 1.5 hours, the reaction was further stirred for 20 hours at RT and evaporated. The residue was purified with silica gel column to give the 4-methoxybenzyl 1 -((4-chloro-6-methoxy-quinolin-7-yloxy)methyl)cyclopropylcarba- mate formula 21b product 6.5 g.
The titled compound of Formula II was then similarly prepared by using formula 21b to react with 4-hydroxy-N-methyl-naphamide formula 1 1 according to formula 13 of Example 3.
Example 7
Preparation of the crystalline form of 6-(7-((l-aminocyclopropyl)methoxy)-6-methoxy- quinolin-4-yloxy)-N-methyl- 1 -naphthamide (AL3810)
The crude product from Example 1 (105 g) was mixed with isopropanol (2.5 L) and active carbon (5 g), the mixture was heated to reflux for 0.5 hour to dissolve all crude product followed by filtration while it was hot, then the filtrate was refluxed again for 10 minutes and it was cooled to room temperature overnight under a slow stirring condition. The precipitate was filtered and washed with ethyl ether (500 ml x 2), further dried under high vacuum at 80°C to give the pure product (85 g) with melting point at 192°C- 196°C.
