Problems solved by technology

[0005] 1) The raw material 16-dehydroprogesterone is a steroid that is generally not readily available, so it is not suitable for industrial use
[0006] 2) When the lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4) used in the first reduction step is exposed to moisture, it will generate hydrogen gas, which may cause an explosion, so it is very dangerous to adopt lithium aluminum hydride on an industrial scale
[0007] 3) The acetic acid used in the second reaction is difficult to handle after the reaction is complete, and the 72 hour reaction time is too long
[0008] 4) In the third step, the reaction time of refluxing methanol with potassium hydroxide for 6 hours is longer
[0009] 5) The yield of the third reaction step is 114%, but the patent specification does not mention the yield of the final product bisabolone
[0010] 6) The synthetic method described in the above-mentioned patent is unreliable, because the analytical data of bisabolone and its intermediates are not mentioned in the patent specification

Embodiment 1

[0191] Embodiment 1: Synthetic ring-3-(1,2-ethylene dithioacetal)-4-androsten-17-ketone of general formula (I-A-1) by the compound of general formula (I-A) [step A ]

[0192] 4-androstene-3,17-dione (I-A) (28.6g, 100mmol) was completely dissolved in glacial acetic acid (100ml) at 25°C, and 1,2-ethanedithiol (10.4ml, 110mmol) and p-Toluenesulfonic acid (8.6 g, 50 mmol) was continuously added to the above solution. The reaction mixture was further reacted at room temperature, and the resulting mixture was poured into distilled water (100 ml), followed by thorough stirring at room temperature for 15 minutes. The resulting mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 ml), the organic layer was washed with brine and distilled water, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was washed with ethyl acetate / hexane (2 / 8) Purified by column chromatography to obtain the title compound (27.2 g, yield: 75%).

Embodiment 2

[0195] Embodiment 2: Synthetic ring-3-(1,2-ethylene dithioacetal)-4-androsten-17-one of general formula (I-A-1) from general formula (I-A) [step A]

[0196] 4-androstene-3,17-dione (I-A) (28.6g, 100mmol) was completely dissolved in anhydrous methanol (150ml) at 0°C, and 1,2-ethanedithiol (15ml, 179mmol) was added The solution was then slowly added to the acidic catalyst BF 3 • Diethyl ether (14ml). The reaction was continued at 20°C for 10 hours. After the reaction was complete, the resulting mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure to remove methanol and washed with dichloromethane (100ml) and 5% NaHCO 3 Solution work up the resulting mixture. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain the title compound (33.4 g, yield: 92%).

Embodiment 3

[0197] Embodiment 3: Synthetic ring-3-(1,2-ethylene dithioacetal)-4,17(20)-cis-androstene of general formula (I-A-2) by general formula (I-A-1) [step B]

[0198] Ethyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (44.6g, 120mmol) was dissolved in dry tetrahydrofuran (200ml) at 0°C, 120ml (120mmol). Anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (1 mol solution) dissolved in potassium tert-butoxide was slowly added to the above solution over 15 minutes. After the addition was complete, the reaction mixture was further reacted at room temperature for 30 minutes, and tetrahydrofuran (150 ml) dissolved with a compound of general formula (I-A-1) (33.4 g, 92.1 mmol) was slowly added thereto at room temperature, and the The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours for further reaction. The resulting mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure, and a mixed solvent of 250ml of hexane and ethyl ester (v / v=10 / 1) was added to generate the by-product triphenylphosphine oxide (Ph 3 P=O) precipitate, whi...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for selective preparing 4,17 (20)-E-pregnadiene-3,16-dione (E-guggul-sterone) of the formula (III) and 4,17 (20)-Z-pregnadiene-3,16-dione (Z-guggulsterone) of the formula (IV) having an effect of lowering the elevated low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high levels of the cholesterol effectively, and elevating the low levels of the high density lipoprotein (HDL) from a easy-available steroid of the following formula (I). Also, the present invention provides a method for preparation of the compound of the above formula (II).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the preparation method of 4,17(20)-pregnane-3,16-dione (hereinafter referred to as "bisabolone"), and the preparation of Z-type bisabolone from E-type bisabolone The method of isomers and the preparation method of the compound of the intermediate formula (II) of compound (III), the effect of bisabolone is to effectively reduce high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high levels of cholesterol, and Raise low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Background technique [0002] Bisabolone has been extracted from the Indian mukul tree (Botanical name: Commiphora mukul), and it is customarily used to treat hyperlipidemia, and it is also known to be a farnesoid orphan recipient that regulates cholesterol metabolism. Potent antagonist of FXR (Nature, 2002, June, 411.; Science, 2002, May, 1703).
