  • Patent number: 9505719
    Abstract: An improved synthesis of a class of inhibitor of Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) is provided, wherein use of an expensive palladium-based catalyst is reduced and reaction yields and product purities are improved. Two key reactions of coupling of aryl halides with anilines are optimized with the surprising discovery that the palladium-based catalyst can be dispensed with entirely in one of the reactions. The invention also provides the use of the FAK-inhibitory compounds in the treatment of inflammatory and immune disorders and of arthritis.

    Inventors: Yixiong Lei, Carl Henry Behrens, Hui-Yin Li, Connie L. Sun
  • Patent number: 9375402
    Abstract: The invention is directed to formulations of bioactive compounds of limited water solubility, inhibitors of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) of the 2,4-diaminopyridine class, adapted for oral administration to patients. The formulations are self-emulsifying in the gastrointestinal tract of the patients, providing enhanced absorption and bioavailability of the bioactive compounds as dispersions or emulsions in an oil base. For example, esters of PEG-ylated glycerol can be used as the oil, in conjunction with surfactants such as lecithin and TEPG succinate and solubilizers such as PEG 400 to provide useful oral formulations for administration to patients having a malcondition wherein inhibition of FAK is medically indicated, such as cancer or arthritis.
