MF C16H12F6N4O2 MW406.28 g/mol

3-(ethoxydifluoromethyl)-6-(5-fluoro-6-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)pyridin-3-yl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine

3-[ethoxydi(fluoro)methyl]-6-[5-fluoro-6-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)pyridin-3-yl][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine
sodium channel blocker, PRAX-628, PRAX 628, QU3C48T4NV,

Vormatrigine is a small molecule drug. The usage of the INN stem '-trigine' in the name indicates that Vormatrigine is a sodium channel blocker, signal transduction modulator. Vormatrigine has a monoisotopic molecular weight of 406.09 Da.

Vormatrigine (formerly PRAX-628) is an oral, small-molecule, voltage-gated sodium channel inhibitor being developed by Praxis Precision Medicines for focal onset and generalized epilepsy. Phase II RADIANT trial data indicated that 22% of participants achieved complete seizure freedom, with a 56.3% median reduction in seizure frequency. IGMPI +2

Key Aspects of Vormatrigine:

  • Mechanism: Targets the hyperexcitable state of NaV channels, acting as a functional state modulator.
  • Efficacy: In the Phase II RADIANT trial (NCT06908356) for focal epilepsy, the drug showed significant seizure reduction (56.3% median reduction), with 60% of participants achieving a $\ge$50% reduction in seizures.
  • Dosing: Developed for once-daily, oral administration without the need for complex titration.
  • Safety Profile: Vormatrigine was generally well-tolerated in clinical studies, with mostly mild, transient adverse events reported, as noted in the Phase 1 PRAX-628-102 study.
  • Future Development: Praxis is moving forward with Phase III trials (POWER2) following the successful Phase II results, with plans to potentially redefine treatment for patients with treatment-resistant focal epilepsy.
  • Drug-Drug Interactions: Preliminary data suggests a favorable profile with minimal interaction risks, supporting its potential use in polytherapy. Neurology LiveNeurology Live +4

The drug is expected to be a major competitor in the epilepsy market if approved, with potential for high sales due to its efficacy profile compared to existing treatments. IGMPI

purinoreceptor (P2X) antagonist, JNJ-55308942, JNJ 55308942, B7YN3CQ7S7,

JNJ-55308942 is under investigation in clinical trial NCT05328297 (A Study of JNJ-55308942 in the Treatment of Bipolar Depression).

JNJ-55308942 is an investigational drug that works as a P2X7 antagonist with a downstream effect of reducing interleukin-1β release.[1][2][3] It is developed by Janssen Pharmaceuticals for bipolar depression.[4]

Zanvipixant (JNJ-55308942) is an investigational small-molecule, brain-penetrant, and potent antagonist of the P2X7 receptor developed by Janssen (J&J). It is primarily studied for its potential to treat neuroinflammation-related conditions, including mood disorders and depression, by inhibiting P2X7-mediated IL-1β release. 

Key Details for Zanvipixant:

  • Target: P2X7 Receptor (P2X7R).
  • Mechanism: Brain-penetrant antagonist reducing neuroinflammation, specifically inhibiting microglial IL-1β release.
  • Chemical Properties: Structure typically includes a triazolopyridine moiety.
  • Development Status: Evaluated as a potential CNS treatment for conditions related to neuroinflammation, with research highlighting its pharmacological profile, including good CNS partitioning.
  • Alternative Name: JNJ-55308942.

Research indicates that the P2X7 receptor is activated by high levels of extracellular ATP during stress, leading to inflammation and behavioral deficits associated with depression. Zanvipixant has been studied in this context as a potential therapeutic intervention.

Example 228 (S)-(3 -fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-4-yl)( 1 -(5 -fluoropyrimidin-2-yl)-6-methyl-6J-dihvdro-lH-ri,2,31triazolor4,5-c1pyridin-5(4H)-yl)methanone

he title compound was prepared as described in Example 65, substituting (S)-l-(5-fluoropyrimidin-2-yl)-6-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-lH-[l,2,3]triazolo[4,5-c]pyridine-hydrochloride salt (prepared as Step 2 intermediate of method II synthesis) in Example 220 for l-pyrimidin-2-yl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-lH-[l,2,3]triazolo[4,5-c]pyridine, 3-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)isonicotinic acid for 2-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid and Hunig's base (3.0 equiv) for Et3N. The powder x-ray diffraction pattern for this compound is shown in Figure 2. Alternatively, the title compound was synthesized using the following procedure:

Step 1 : (S)-l-(3-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)isonicotinoyl)-2-methylpiperidin-4-one

(S)-l-(3-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)isonicotinoyl)-2-methylpiperidin-4-one.: (S)-2-methylpiperidin-4-one, TFA salt (108 g, 478 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) was suspended in DCM (1.4 L). Et3 (265 mL, 1.9 mol, 4.0 equiv.) and 3-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)isonicotinoyl

chloride (1 19 g, 526 mmol, 1.1 equiv.) were added sequentially. The reaction solution was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The precipitated solid was filtered and washed with EtOAc. The filtrate solution was concentrated and the residue was re-dissolved in EtOAc (500 mL). The organic layer was washed with saturated aHC03 aqueous solution, water and brine, dried over Na2S04, and concentrated. The crude product was triturated from EtOAc/hexanes to afford (S)-l-(3-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)isonicotinoyl)-2-methylpiperidin-4-one (103 g, 368 mmol, 77%), which was used without further purification. MS = 305.1 (positive mode)

Step 2: (S)-(3-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-4-yl)(l-(5-fluoropyrimidin-2-yl)-6-methyl-6,7-dihvdro-lH-ri ,2,31triazolor4,5-c1pyridin-5(4H)-yl)methanone and (S)-(3-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-4-yl)(l-(5-fluoropyrimidin-2-yl)-4-methyl-6J-dihydro-lH

[ 1.2.3 Itriazolo [4.5 -c]pyridin-5 (4H)-yl)methanone

In a 5 L, three-neck, round-bottom flask equipped with a mechanic stirring, Dean-Stark trap, reflux condenser and an internal thermometer, to the solution of (S)-l-(3-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)isonicotinoyl)-2-methylpiperidin-4-one, prepared in Step 1 above (100 g, 328 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) in toluene (1.5 L), -toluenesulphonic acid (0.62 g, 3.29 mmol, 0.01 equiv.), pyrrolidine (33 mL, 394 mmol, 1.2 equiv.) and 2-azido-5-fluoropyrimidine (59.4 g, 427 mmol, 1.3 equiv.) were added sequentially. The reaction mixture was heated to reflux temperature for 4 hours and then cooled to room temperature. aHC03 (55.2 g, 657 mmol, 2.0 equiv.) and mCPBA (162 g, 657 mmol, 2.0 equiv.) solution in EtOAC (-250 mL) were added sequentially. After stirring at room temperature for 2 hours, water and EtOAc were added. The organic layer was washed sequentially with 1M a2S03, saturated aHC03 aqueous solution, and brine, dried over Na2S04, and concentrated. The crude product was purified via column chromatography to afford a mixture of (S)-(3-fluoro-2-

(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-4-yl)(l-(5-flu^

[l,2,3]triazolo[4,5-c]pyridin-5(4H)-yl)methanone and (S)-(3-fluoro-2- (trifluoromethyl)pyridin-4-yl)(l-(5-fl^^

[l,2,3]triazolo[4,5-c]pyridin-5(4H)-yl)methanone in a 10: 1 ratio (97 grams).

Step 3 : (S)-(3-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-4-yl)(l -(5-fluoropyrimidin-2-yl)-6-methyl-6.7-dihvdro-lH-ri.2.31triazolor4.5-c1pyridin-5(4H)-yl)methanone

HPLC purification of the mixture from Step 2 was performed via achiral SFC (Stationary phase: Chiralcel OD-H 5μιη 250x30mm), (Mobile phase: 75% C02, 25% MeOH) to afford pure (S)-(3-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-4-yl)(l-(5-fluoropyrimidin-2-yl)-6-methyl-6,7-dihydro-lH-[l,2,3]triazolo[4,5-c]pyridin-5(4H)-yl)methanone (73 gram, 172 mmol, 52%).
