Problems solved by technology

[0009] The intermediate compound VIII generated during the hydrogenation reduction of compound VII in this route generates compound IX after heat treatment in an aqueous alkaline environment. During this process, the content of compound VIII is balanced at about 3%, so it will be introduced in subsequent reactions Isomers of obeticholic acid, and the isomers are difficult to remove, requiring repeated crystallization operations
Therefore, this route is complicated to operate and high in cost, and is not suitable for industrial production of obeticholic acid.

Abstract

This invention provides a new method for preparing obeticholic acid which belongs to the technical field of medicine. Its raw material is E / 2 -3alpha-hydroxy-b-ethylidene-keto-5beta-cholane-24-acid methyl ester(OB-4)which can be gained easily. First, OB-3 can be produced through hydroxy-protection with tetra hydropyrane protecting group. Then, OB-2 can be produced through hydrogenation-reduction in alkaline aqueous solution. Then, OB-1 can be produced through reducing again. At last, the target product--obeticholic acid can be got through catalyzing and removing tetrahydropyrane. The method is simple in production process, the content of isomer impurity is low, and the method is a new synthetic method of obeticholic acid suitable for industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medicine, and relates to a preparation method of obeticholic acid and related compounds. Background technique [0002] Obeticholic acid is a structural modification of chenodeoxycholic acid, 6-ethylchenodeoxycholic acid, a farnesoid X receptor agonist developed by Intercept Pharmaceuticals, which activates the farnesoid X receptor , indirectly inhibit the gene expression of the rate-limiting enzyme cytochrome 7A1 (CYP7A1) of bile acid biosynthesis, and then inhibit bile acid synthesis, which can be used for the treatment of primary biliary cirrhosis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. [0003] A completed phase III POISE clinical trial for PBC showed that obeticholic acid can significantly reduce the serum alkaline phosphatase level, which is a biomarker precursor to the progression of PBC, and alkaline phosphatase in the placebo group Phosphatase decreased by an average of 5% from baseline, while the...
