Anti-Wolbachiatherapy has been clinically proven to be a safe approach for the treatment of onchocerciasis and lymphatic filariasis. AWZ1066S, a first-in-class highly specific anti-Wolbachiadrug candidate developed for a short-course treatment of human filariasis, has advanced into clinical development. An improved, cost-efficient, and scalable process for the manufacture of this clinical candidate is described. Presented herein is the process development work for the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and its two key starting materials [2-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridyl]methanamine and (S)-3-methylmorpholine, starting from 2,4-dichloropyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine, which is capable of delivering high-purity (>99%) API consistently. The optimized production route was used in the manufacture of the clinical candidate at the kilogram scale to support the ongoing clinical development.
