Nerandomilast (BI 1015550) is an investigational oral medication being studied for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF). It is a preferential inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B) and has shown potential in slowing lung function decline in patients with IPF.
Key points about nerandomilast:
- Mechanism of Action:Nerandomilast inhibits PDE4B, an enzyme that plays a role in inflammation and fibrosis.
- Clinical Trials:Phase 3 clinical trials have shown that nerandomilast can slow lung function decline in patients with IPF and PPF.
- Efficacy:The trials demonstrated that nerandomilast led to a smaller decline in forced vital capacity (FVC), a measure of lung function, compared to placebo.
- Safety:Diarrhea was the most frequent adverse event, but serious adverse events were balanced across treatment groups.
- Progressive Fibrosing ILDs:Nerandomilast is also being investigated in other progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) beyond IPF.
- FDA Designation:Nerandomilast received Breakthrough Therapy Designation from the FDA for the treatment of IPF.
- Not a Cure:While nerandomilast can slow disease progression, it does not cure pulmonary fibrosis.
- Not Yet Approved:Nerandomilast is still an investigational drug and is not yet approved for use.
Nerandomilast (BI 1015550) is an orally active inhibitor of PDE4B with an IC50 value of 7.2 nM. Nerandomilast has good safety and potential applications in inflammation, allergic diseases, pulmonary fibrosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

A robust and scalable synthesis process for Nerandomilast (1, BI 1015550), a selective PDE4B inhibitor with potential therapeutic properties for the treatment of respiratory diseases, was developed and implemented at a pilot plant on a multikilogram scale. Key aspects of the process include the efficient synthesis of intermediate (1-((2-chloro-6,7-dihydrothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)amino)cyclobutyl)methanol (4) by means of a regioselective SNAr reaction between (1-aminocyclobutyl)methanol (6) and 2,4-dichloro-6,7-dihydrothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine (5), a new convergent synthesis of 5-chloro-2-(piperidin-4-yl)pyrimidine (3) by means of a Suzuki coupling, and a highly enantioselective sulfide oxidation to give chiral nonracemic (R)-2-chloro-4-((1-(hydroxymethyl)cyclobutyl)amino)-6,7-dihydrothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine 5-oxide (2).
