Cabazitaxel- A semi-synthetic Taxol


The taxane family of terpenes has received much attention in the scientific and medical community, because members of this family have demonstrated broad spectrum of anti-leukemic and tumor-inhibitory activity. Cabazitaxel, which was developed by Sanofi-Aventis is one of the semi-synthetic derivative of Taxol family and it was approved by U.S FDA for the treatment of hormone-refractory prostate cancer.

Cabazitaxel is a novel tubulin-binding taxane and fourth taxane to be approved for cancer therapy. Synthesis of Cabazitaxel includes semi-synthesis of naturally occurring taxoid, 10-deacetylbaccatin III (10-DAB) with potentially unique anti-neoplastic activity for a variety of tumors.
A number of other intermediates, impurities, metabolites and degradants are also associated with Cabazitaxel, many of them were identified and synthesized at Pharmaffiliates Analytics and Synthetics P. Ltd.

Impurities available at Pharmaffiliates are mentioned and classified as below:

1.      De-Boc Cabazitaxel- an impurity formed in the commercial synthesis of Cabazitaxel.

2.      10-Deacetyl-7,10-Dimethoxy-Baccatin III- an intermediate formed from naturally occurring taxoid 10-DAB which is used as a starting material in the synthesis of Cabazitaxel.

3.      Cabazitaxel N-Formyl impurity - an impurity formed in the commercial synthesis of Cabazitaxel.

4.      10-Deacetyl-7,10,13-Trimethyl Baccatin III- an intermediate formed from naturally occurring taxoid 10-DAB which is used as a starting material in the synthesis of Cabazitaxel.

5.      (2'S, 3'R)-Cabazitaxel – a stereoisomer of Cabazitaxel.

6.      Cabazitaxel Di Boc Impurity- an impurity formed in the commercial synthesis of Cabazitaxel.

7.      Oxazolidine Cabazitaxel - an impurity formed in the commercial synthesis of Cabazitaxel.

8.      (4S, 5S)-3-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-4-Phenyloxazolidine-5-Carboxylic acid - Cabazitaxel Impurity 20

9.      (4R, 5R)-3-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-4-Henyloxazolidine-5-Carboxylic acid - Cabazitaxel Impurity 22

 

 

All the above mentioned compounds are available at Pharmaffiliates in a pack size of 25mg and 50 mg. Customized pack sizes are also available as per the customers need.

Majority of the above mentioned impurities synthesized at Pharmaffiliates are 98% pure and each of these standards synthesized at Pharmaffiliates are been identified through an elaborate structure elucidation data and certificate of analysis is provided for the same.
