Riociguat Usage And Synthesis
Pharmacological effectsRiociguat is a soluble guanylyl cyclase activator, developed by the German Bayer ,it is an important signaling enzyme, which can be activated by nitric oxide (NO) to catalyze guanosine triphosphate ( GTP) to convert into the second messenger cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). Soluble guanylate cyclase is currently the only known NO receptor. Damage of NO-sGC-cGMP signal pathway is believed to be the cause of the incidence of cardiovascular, lung, endothelium, kidney and liver diseases. NO synthesis in patients with pulmonary hypertension is not enough, NO donor drugs, although effective, short half-life, riociguat can directly activate sGC, stable NO-sGC combination so as to upregulate the second messenger cGMP. riociquat can significantly increase exercise tolerance in patients with hemodynamic parameters of cardiac function and prolong the time to reach clinical worsening (PATENT study), It may also be effective in treating CTEPH(CHEST study) .
October 8, 2013, the US FDA approved Riociguat for the treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension and PAH (Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension).
At present, Riociguat is not yet sold in the domestic market ,in the United States it is sold by the Haoeyou Pharmacy , the pharmacy is subsidiary of California Healthcom Group, because the market ofRiociguat is in its infancy, its sales grow slowly.

Clinical evaluationIn clinical trials ,261 patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) were divided into riociguat and placebo groups, a six-minute walk distance (6MWD) as the main clinical endpoint, after 16 weeks of treatment, 6MWD of riociguat group increased by 46 meters higher than the average in the placebo group. 443 cases of PAH were divided into riociguat and placebo groups,after 12 weeks of treatment, riociguat group increased 36 meters higher than the average 6MWD in the placebo group. Boxed warning suggests that the drug has a embryo toxicity, pregnant patients are forbidden.
Adempas is granted baseing on two global III studies CHEST-1 and PATENT-1, whose findings are published in the July 25, 2013"New England Journal of Medicine," (2013; 369: 330-40; 2013; 369: 319-29). Thomson Reuters released analysis report that it is expected that sales of the drug in 2017 will reach $ 679 million, while the market will face a potential threat constituted by the Swiss company Actelion bosentan and Gilead drug Imber bosentan tablets.

Production MethodSynthetic key of Riociguat is the synthesis of three heterocyclic ring. Compounds 1 and 2 directly close the pyrazole ring to generate 3,3 and 4 and then close the pyrazole ring to obtain5, ethyl of 5 is dehydrated using trifluoroacetic anhydride to give a cyano group after amidation by the ammonia , the cyano group is treated with methanol sodium and chloride ammonium to get amidine 6. The two nitrogen atoms on Amidine 6 as dinucleophile, with two cyano on compound 7 as the electrophile ,directly close the pyrimidine ring to give 8. pyrimidine 5-position amino group on 8 with a strong nucleophilic, directly reacts with methyl chloride and then methylates to give riociguat.

DescriptionIn September 2013, Health Canada approved riociguat (also referred to as BAY 63-2521), for the treatment of patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) after surgical treatment or inoperable CTEPH and for the treatment of adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Riociguat has a dual mode of action and works by (a) sensitizing sGC to the body’s NO by stabilizing NO–sGC binding and (b) an NO-independent, direct stimulation of sGC via a different binding site. This process restores the NO–sGC–cGMP pathway and leads to increased generation of cGMP with subsequent vasodilation.
Headache, dizziness, dyspepsia/gastritis, nausea, diarrhea, hypotension, vomiting, anemia, gastroesophageal reflux, and constipation were the most common adverse events ( 3%) observed during riociguat clinical trials. Riociguat comes with a black box warning for embryo-fetal toxicity.

DefinitionChEBI: A carbamate ester that is the methyl ester of {4,6-diamino-2-[1-(2-fluorobenzyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-3-yl]pyrimidin-5-yl}methylcarbamic acid. It is used for treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension an pulmonary arterial hypertension

SynthesisThe sequence began with condensation of commercial 2-fluorobenzylhydrazine (136) with sodium ethyl cyanopyruvate (137), which derives from diethyl oxalate to generate aminopyrazole 138. This was followed by the cyclocondensation with 3-dimethylaminoacrolein (139) to access pyrazolopyridine 140 in 50% yield for the two-step operation. Next, ester 140 was transformed to the corresponding primary amide 141, which was subsequently dehydrated upon treatment with trifluoroacetic acid anhydride (TFAA) to construct nitrile 142 in quantitative yield from 140. Subjection of cyanopyrazole 142 to Pinner conditions using methoxide and ammonium chloride in refluxing acetic acid generated amidine 143, and this was followed by condensation with the malononitrile derivative 144 in base to provide pyrimidine 145 in 73% yield. Hydrogenative cleavage of the phenyldiazine converted 145 to the pyrimidyl triamine 146, which underwent carbamoylation at the 40 position to produce the penultimate carbamate 147. This carbamate was then selectively methylated through deprotonation of the carbamate N¨CH proton followed by quench with methyl iodide. Sequential recrystallization from warm DMSO and refluxing ethyl acetate produced riociguat (XIX) in 64% yield from 147.

MetabolismN-demethylation, catalysed by CYP1A1, CYP3A4, CYP2C8 and CYP2J2 is the major biotransformation pathway leading to its major circulating active metabolite M-1 (pharmacological activity: 1/10th to 1/3rd of riociguat) which is further metabolised to the pharmacologically inactive N-glucuronide.
Riociguat and metabolites are excreted via both renal (33-45%) and biliary/faecal routes (48-59%). Approximately 9-44% of the administered dose was found as unchanged riociguat in faeces.
