Ezetimibe Zetia

Alternatively, the multicomponent Staudinger-3CR can also be used to access Ezetimibe (Zetia) [26], In fact, the first synthesis of Ezetimibe was based on

Animal tests can be extremely elaborate. Ezetimibe (Zetia, 2.25), a cholesterollowering drug, was developed in the mid-1990s through testing in rats (Figure 2.9). The mode of action was known to be inhibition of active transport of cholesterol in the small intestine, but the exact mechanism of transport was unknown. Without an established mode of action, a... 

A recently developed antihyperlipidemic is ezetimibe (Zetia, A.113) (Figure A.31). Ezetimibe inhibits the absorption of cholesterol across the intestinal wall. Like fibrates, ezetimibe is often prescribed with statins, although the effectiveness of ezetimibe has recently been called into question. A compound that may soon be approved for the treatment of high cholesterol is anacetrapib (A.114). Anacetrapib, a product of Merck, is currently in phase III trials. The compound inhibits cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP). The net effect of CETP inhibition is elevated HDL cholesterol and lower LDL cholesterol levels.

As far as research collaboration is concerned, the Schering-Plough manufacturing process for its cholesterol absorption inhibitor, Ezetimibe (Zetia), exemplifies the collaboration case. The close interaction between Research and Development, aided by the delay caused by the realization that the first API structure (XVI) had to be modified to overcome metabolism issues, provided the intellectual resource and the time for a fuller understanding of the chemistry needed to create the chiral (3-lactam ring. 

Nor are the contributions to be made by p-lactam structures to the pharmaceuticals field over. The extraordinary developments of recent years in cholesterol absorption inhibitors (CAIs) based on the p-lactam ring deserve some mention, especially since Dr. T. K. Thiruvengadam in our chemical process development organization in Schering-Plough is the brilliant architect of one of the patented syntheses of this novel class of CAIs. His synthesis35 of Ezetimibe (Zetia), outlined in Scheme 13, serves to (a) introduce this new direction in the development of novel p-lactam medicinals and (b) end this excursion in the field of p-lactams.

Not many drugs contain four-membered heterocycles either. The best-known drug containing an azetidine-ring is Schering-Plough s ezetimibe (Zetia). Launched in 2002 as a cholesterol absorption inhibitor, its mechanism of action is the inhibition of the Nieman-Pick Cl-like 1 (NPCl LI) protein. 

It is worth re-emphasizing the following observations in dislipilemic patients with claudication, combination therapy with simvastatin 40 mg (95) and ezetimibe (zetia) 10 mg (149) after dinner combined with fenofibrate (94) (Tricor) 160 mg with breakfast brings a significant improvement in the walking time to onset of claudication and time to absolute claudication (see Chapter 1) measured on the treadmill (personal observations). There is also a remarkable improvement of the patient s lipid profile with this combination therapy. 

A newer type of cholesterol drugs is based upon the direct inhibition of the uptake of free cholesterol from the small intestine. Perhaps the most prominent in this class is ezetimibe (Zetia , Schering-Plough Corporation). Note that there are three chiral centers and therefore 2 or 8 possible stereoisomers. The stereoisomers exhibit different cholesterol absorption inhibition and therefore a single stereoisomer, as depicted, is administered [18]. 

Another recently approved compound is the cholesterol absorption inhibitor Ezetimibe (Zetia ) (Figure 15.3) discovered and initially produced by Schering-Plough, with a linear synthesis of seven steps [21-23]. The commercial process toward the synthesis of Ezetimibe (Zetia) starts with a CBS reduction (5% catalyst load) of ketone 41, affording chiral alcohol 42 in 95% yield. Judicious choice of the trimethylsilyl protecting group allowed clean in situ protection of both the benzylic and phenolic... 

Ezetimibe (Zetia) is a selective inhibitor of dietary cholesterol absorption. In addition to this decreased cholesterol absorption leads to an increase in LDL-cholesterol uptake into cells, thus decreasing levels in the blood plasma (Rossi S, 2006).
