| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
E7080 (Lenvatinib) is a multi-target inhibitor of VEGFR2 and VEGFR3 with IC50 of 4 nM and 5.2 nM, respectively. | [Definition]
ChEBI: A methanesulfonate salt obtained by reaction of lenvatinib with one molar equivalent of methanesulfonic acid. A multi-kinase inhibitor and orphan drug used (as its mesylate salt) for the treatment of various types of thyroid cancer that do not respond to r
dioiodine. | [Description]
Developed by Eisai Inc.,
lenvatinib mesylate is a vascular endothelial growth factor
receptor (VEGF) inhibitor which has activity against VEGF
subtypes 1, 2, and 3 and was approved by the FDA in 2015 for
the treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer that is either
locally recurrent, metastatic, or progressive and did not respond
to radioactive iodine treatment. In May 2016, the FDA
approved the drug as a combination therapy with everolimus
for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma. Because
VEGF (and fibroblast growth factor receptors, known as
FGFRs) are thought to play a role in cardiovascular signaling
pathways, VEGF2R and FGFR inhibition are thought to be the
mechanisms behind the primary side effect of lenvatinib
mesylate, which is hypertension. | [Mechanism of action]
Lenvatinib mesylate works by blocking proteins that signal cancer cells to multiply. It also blocks proteins that signal the formation of new blood vessels that are needed to support tumor growth. Blocking these signals keeps cancer cells from growing. | [Clinical Use]
#N/A | [Side effects]
The most prevalent AEs were hypertension (77.8%), fatigue (55.6%), weight loss (51.9%).In addition, there may be fatigue or tiredness, rashes, redness, itching or peeling of the palms and soles of the feet, diarrhoea, nausea, constipation and heartburn. | [Synthesis]
Starting from commercial aniline
193, a substitution reaction under neutral conditions in warm
isopropyl alcohol with a commercial vinyl methoxy derivative of
Meldrum’s acid (194) produced enamine 195 in good yield.
Next, subjection of 195 to DOWTHERM A at 190 °C affected
an intramolecular cyclizative substitution reaction, followed by
loss of acetone, and a decarboxylation reaction to furnish
quinolone 196. This cyclization reaction, which is a variant of
the Conrad-Limpach reaction, is particularly noteworthy
given the temperature and pH at which it takes place. Conrad-
Limpach cyclizations typically proceed under basic conditions
at temperatures well above 240 °C. However, a process was
developed by Zeneca in 2004 which involved subjecting 195 to
the DOWTHERM heat transfer fluid (commercially available
from Dow and Sigma-Aldrich, consisting of a eutectic mixture
of biphenyl and diphenyl oxide) allowed the team to lower
the temperature required for the reaction, clearly observe
bubbling of gas indicating the progress of the reaction, and
simple cooling and treatment with ether to facilitated
precipitate formation. The resulting solid could be collected
by filtration and required no additional purification on scale in
80% yield. Quinoline 196 was then converted to the
corresponding chloride using thionyl chloride in refluxing
DMF, and the resulting ester 197 was converted to the
corresponding amide through the use of 28% aqueous
ammonia in warm ethanol, which ultimately produced the
key chloroquinoline lenvatinib subunit 198 in 80% yield from
197.
Commercial aminophenol 199 was
converted to the corresponding carbamate through the use of
phenyl chloroformate in essentially quantitative yield prior to
subjection to cyclopropylamine in chilled DMF, which
ultimately furnished urea 201 in 77% overall yield from 200.
Next, exposure of phenol 201 to chloroquinoline 198 in the presence of potassium t-butoxide followed by
treatment with methanesulfonic acid and acetic acid resulted in
clean formation of lenvatinib mesylate (XXV) in 96% yield
across the two-step sequence.
 | [Metabolism]
Lenvatinib is metabolised by CYP3A and aldehyde
oxidase.
Following administration of radiolabelled lenvatinib to
6 patients with solid tumours, approximately two-thirds
and one-fourth of the radiolabel were eliminated in the
faeces and urine, respectively |
