Problems solved by technology

This traditional process is cumbersome and labor-intensive; the production cost is high, and it directly depends on the resources of ephedra grass, and the output is small and unstable
In addition, the production of ephedrine in a German company directly uses chemical synthesis, and the racemate of pseudoephedrine is first produced, which requires further resolution. The resolution reagents are expensive and costly
There are many advantages in the production of ephedrine by biotransformation. A semi-biological transformation method for producing ephedrine is reported at home and abroad. First, phenylacetone synthase is used to convert benzaldehyde into R-phenylacetyl carbinol, and then further chemically synthesize ephedrine. , but the yield is not high
Still will carry out isomer resolution in the chemical synthesis, consider unfavorable for actual production from cost and environmental protection, and the method that utilizes enzymatic catalyzed direct biotransformation to produce ephedrine has not yet been reported both at home and abroad

Abstract

The invention discloses a bio-preparation method for pseudoephedrine. The bio-preparation method comprises the following steps: reacting benzaldehyde with ethylene, pyruvic acid or pyruvate in a buffer solution under the catalysis of bio-enzymes and carrying out purification so as to obtain optically pure (S)-1-phenyl-2-carbonyl-3-propanol; reacting the optically pure (S)-1-phenyl-2-carbonyl-3-propanol with methylamine in a buffer solution under the catalysis of bio-enzymes so as to produce (1S,2S)-2-methylamino-phenylpropan-1-ol, i.e., pseudoephedrine. According to the invention, raw materials are widely available and cheap and do not need to prepare separately; used reagents are low in cost; the prepared pseudoephedrine is easy to recrystallize and purify and has low cost; enzymatic direct biotransformation is employed for production of pseudoephedrine, reaction conditions are mild, and the method is suitable for industrial production; reaction conditions are easy to control; operation is simple; process flow is easy; and the method has no special requirements on equipment and is suitable for large-scale production.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the preparation method of raw material medicine and medicine intermediate, specifically refers to a kind of biological preparation method of pseudoephedrine. Background technique [0002] The herbal ephedra has good medicinal value, and has the advantages of safe and reliable medication, strong tolerance and small side effects. Its main active ingredients are ephedrine and pseudoephedrine. Pseudoephedrine is a sympathomimetic drug, which has vasoconstriction and pressure-boosting effects on the mucosa of the upper respiratory tract, a significant diuretic effect, and an anti-inflammatory effect. Compared with ephedrine, it has less side effects, and when used for treatment, it has less adverse reactions such as increasing heart rate, increasing blood pressure, and central excitation, and has the advantages of significant diuresis and good drug tolerance. Clinically, it is mainly used to treat colds, hay fever, hypoten...
