    The peptide market will show incredible performances growing from the actual 30 Btothe58B to the 58 B by the year 2026. This jump is directly related to the improvement of the drug design and development process achieved during the last 10 years (1). In fact, not long time ago, once the active peptide was identified, the drug, a peptidomimetic molecule, was obtained after an extensive medicinal chemistry program. Nowadays, with a few modifications of the natural sequence, it is possible to generate analogue peptides with a controlled conformation and an improved pharmaceutical profile, like long halflife and oral delivery

    The impact of green chemistry in the pharmaceutical industry is continuously growing thanks to the efforts of academic and industrial research groups. The design of industrial processes inspired by the Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry can be guided by green metrics and nowadays it is relatively simple to stand on the green side when designing the synthesis of a drug

    Sustainable and efficient aryl halides with copper free Heck−Cassar−Sonogashira (HCS) and Suzuki−Miyaura (SM) cross-coupling reactions were described. Independently from the aryl chloride substituents, the green protocol based on N-hydroxyethylpyrrolidone (HEP)/water as solvents and sodium 2′-dicyclohexylphosphino-2,6-dimethoxy-1,1′-biphenyl-3-sulfonate (sSPhos) as ligand afforded the target products with a high turnover number (TON), high reaction mass efficiency (RME), and low process mass intensity (PMI). The best results have been obtained with TMG and Cs2CO3 as the base for the HCS and Cs2CO3 and K2CO3 for the SM coupling. The PMI and RME achieved are among the best in the field and allowed us to simplify purification processes that are critical for industrial applications

    A simple, convenient, and environmentally friendly route to ST1535 employing an iron-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction and butylmagnesium chloride is described

    Histone deacetylase inhibitors in the treatment of cancer: overview and perspectives

    No full text
    Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis) are one of the last frontiers in pharmaceutical research. Several classes of HDACi have been identified. Although more than 20 HDACi are under preclinical and clinical investigation as single agents and in combination therapies against different cancers, just two of them were approved by the US FDA: Zolinza® and Istodax®, both licensed for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, the latter also of peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Since HDAC enzymes act by forming multiprotein complexes (clusters), containing cofactors, the main problem in designing new HDACi is that the inhibition activity evaluated on isolated enzyme isoforms does not match the in vivo outcomes. In the coming years, the research will be oriented toward a better understanding of the functioning of these protein complexes as well as the development of new screening assays, with the final goal to obtain new drug candidates for the treatment of cancer

    No full text
    The present invention relates to a process for preparing alectinib or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The present invention also relates to 5 intermediate compounds which are useful in such process and to the preparation of such intermediate compounds. Alectinib is approved as the hydrochloride salt, which is the active ingredient of drug Alecensa® and is intended for oral administration in the form of capsule. It is an anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitor indicated for the treatment of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
