What is lifitegrast?

Absorption

The mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of 1.70ng/mL was reached within 15 minutes of application. Quantifiable trough plasma concentrations ranged from 0.55 ng/mL to 3.74 ng/mL . Observations show limited systemic exposure that produces significant clinical outcomes.

Toxicity

Some adverse effects in 5-25% of the patients include instillation site irritation, dysgeusia and reduced visual acuity. There is no evidence or reports of potential carcinogenic, mutagenic or fertility-altering effects of this drug.

Description

Lifitegrast (Xiidra; lifitegrast sodium; SAR1118; SHP606; SPD606) is a lymphocyte functionassociated antigen-1 (LFA-1) antagonist. It inhibits T-cell inflammation by blocking the binding of two key surface proteins (LFA-1 and ICAM-1) that mediate the chronic inflammatory cascade associated with dry eye disease. In a phase III clinical trial, lifitegrast 5% ophthalmic solution (50 mg/mL) is administered as a single 0.2mL eye drop twice a day into each eye for an 84 day treatment period.
Lifitegrast
Lifitegrast does not currently have Marketing Authorisation in the EU for any indication. Lifitegrast is licensed for use in the USA for treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. The most common adverse reactions (incidence 5-25%) reported following the use of lifitegrast are instillation site irritation, dysgeusia, and decreased visual acuity.

Chemical properties

Lifitegrast is a white to off-white powder which is soluble in water.

The Uses of lifitegrast

Lifitegrast is used for the treatment of signs and symptons of dry eye diseases. It also Inhibites corneal inflammation that is capable of causing pains, blurred vision and ocular discomfort in sufferer.

Background

Lifitegrast is a FDA approved drug for the treatment of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye syndrome). It is a tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative and lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 ( LFA-1) antagonist that was discovered through the rational design process. The ophthalmic solution was approved in July, 2016 under the trade name Xiidra. It has shown to protect the corneal surface and alleviate the symptoms of dry eye syndrome with fast onset of action and well tolerated profile in both local and systemic setting .

Indications

For the treatment of signs and symptoms of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye syndrome).

Definition

ChEBI: An N-acyl-L-alpha-amino acid obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of N-[2-(1-benzofuran-6-carbonyl)]-5,7-dichloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-6-carboxylic acid with he amino group of 3-(methanesulfonyl)-L-phenylalanine. Used for treatment of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye syndrome).

Indications

Topical lifitegrast was approved by the FDA for the treatment of dry eye. Lifitegrast decreases inflammation by blocking the interaction between intercellular adhesion molcule 1 and lymphocyte function- -associated antigen 1. In four, large, multicellular, randomized clinical trials, lifitegrast was shown to be effective in improving the signs and symptoms of dry eye. The side effects of lifitegrast include transient ocular irritation and dysgeusia. Further studies are needed to explore the effectiveness of combination therapy such as the concomitant use of topical cyclosporine and topical liftegrast.

Mechanism of action

Lifitegrast binds to the integrin lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1), a cell surface protein found on leukocytes and blocks the interaction of LFA-1 with its cognate ligand intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). ICAM-1 may be overexpressed in corneal and conjunctival tissues in dry eye disease. LFA-1/ICAM-1 interaction can contribute to the formation of an immunological synapse resulting in T-cell activation and migration to target tissues. In vitro studies demonstrated that lifitegrast may inhibit T-cell adhesion to ICAM-1 in a human T-cell line and may inhibit secretion of inflammatory cytokines in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The exact mechanism of action of lifitegrast in dry eye disease is not known.

Pharmacokinetics

Lifitegrast addresses both the symptoms and the resulting ocular surface damage by interfering with ocular inflammatory cycle . Lifitegrast is a lymphocyte function–associated antigen-1 antagonist through direct competitive antagonism and sequentially inhibits the T-cell recruitment, activation, and proinflammatory cytokine release associated with dry eye syndrome .

Pharmacokinetics

In a subset of dry eye disease patients (n=47) enrolled in a Phase 3 trial, the pre-dose (trough) plasma concentrations of lifitegrast were measured after 180 and 360 days of topical ocular dosing (1 drop twice daily) with Xiidra (lifitegrast ophthalmic solution) 5%. A total of nine (9) of the 47 patients (19%) had plasma lifitegrast trough concentrations above 0.5 ng/mL (the lower limit of assay quantitation). Trough plasma concentrations that could be quantitated ranged from 0.55 ng/mL to 3.74 ng/mL.

Side Effects

A multicenter, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled phase 3 study (n = 331) evaluating the safety of lifitegrast ophthalmic solution for the treatment of dry eye disease reported the most common non-ocular effect was dysgeusia (change in taste) occurring in 16.4% of patients in the lifitegrast group and 1.8% of the placebo group.

Synthesis

After Boc protection, reaction with sodium methanesulfinate in the presence of copper iodide, K2CO3, and L-proline gave rise to sulfonate 176. Esterification of 176 with benzyl alcohol followed by removal of the Boc group within 177 yielded the corresponding HCl salt of the aminoester 178. Amide bond coupling with acid 179 furnished amide 180, which was then subjected to 4 N HCl in dioxane resulting in trityl removal and arrival at HCl salt 181 in 88% yield over two steps. Tetrahydroisoquinoline 181 was then coupled with commercial benzofuranyl acid 182 to give rise to lifitegrast benzyl ester in 90% yield. Finally, saponification delivered lifitegrast (XIX) in 88% yield.
Tetrahydroisoquinoline-6-carboxylic acid 179 was prepared starting from commercial 3,5-dichlorobenzaldehyde 183. Reductive amination with 1-chloro-2-aminoethane 184 gave chloroethyl amine 185, which underwent an efficient intramolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction using AlCl3 to generate the corresponding tetrahydroisoquinoline 186 in 91% yield. N-Tritylation of 186 proceeded in 89% yield, and this was followed by a directed o-metalation reaction and carbon dioxide quench to furnish the requisite acid 179 in 75% yield.
