Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of purification of crude degarelix, and particularly relates to a purification method of degarelix. Background Art

[0002] Degarelix, English name: Degarelix, its peptide sequence is: Ac-D-2-Nal-D-Phe(4-Cl)-D-3-Pal-Ser-4-Aph(L-Hor)-D-4-Aph(Cbm)-Leu-Lys(iPr)-Pro-D-Ala-NH2. Its structural formula is shown in formula (1):

[0003]

[0004] Degarelix is ​​a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor inhibitor drug that reversibly inhibits pituitary GnRH receptors to reduce gonadotropin release and subsequently inhibit testosterone release. It delays the growth and progression of prostate cancer by inhibiting testosterone, which is essential for the continued growth of prostate cancer. It was developed by Ferring and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and launched in the U.S. on December 24, 2008 under the trade name Firmagon.

[0005] There are many methods for synthesizing degarelix at present. However, since the peptide sequence of degarelix contains 7 unnatural amino acids, and the amino acids are all hydrophobic amino acids, the crude degarelix obtained contains a lot of byproducts and crude peptide impurities, and the separation and purification process requirements are very high. Currently, there are few records of the separation and purification process of crude degarelix in the public literature, and most of them are separated and purified in the form of recrystallization. In this regard, the present invention hopes to provide a new method for purifying degarelix. Summary of the invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for purifying degarelix to solve the problems raised in the above background technology, and the specific scheme is as follows.

[0007] A method for purifying degarelix comprises the following steps:

[0008] 1. Dissolving: dissolving the crude degarelix peptide obtained by solid phase synthesis in an acetic acid aqueous solution, an acetonitrile aqueous solution or an ethanol aqueous solution;

[0009] 2. First purification: using octaalkyl bonded silica gel as a chromatographic column filler, the mobile phase is divided into A1 phase and B1 phase, the solution obtained in step 1 is subjected to gradient elution, a pure qualified fraction is collected, and an acetic acid aqueous solution, an acetonitrile aqueous solution or an ethanol aqueous solution is used to dilute the pure qualified fraction by more than one volume to obtain a pure diluted fraction; wherein the A1 phase is an acetic acid aqueous solution, and the B1 phase is a preparative grade acetonitrile;

[0010] 3. Second purification: using octadecyl bonded silica gel as the chromatographic column filler, the mobile phase is divided into A2 phase and B2 phase, gradient elution is performed on the first pure diluted fraction, and the second pure qualified fraction is collected, and acetic acid aqueous solution, acetonitrile aqueous solution or ethanol aqueous solution is used to dilute the second pure qualified fraction by more than one volume to obtain the second pure diluted fraction; wherein the A2 phase is trifluoroacetic acid-triethylamine buffer, and the B2 phase is preparative grade acetonitrile;

[0011] Fourth, the third purification: using octadecyl bonded silica gel as the chromatographic column filler, the mobile phase is divided into A3 phase and B3 phase, the second pure diluted fraction is subjected to gradient elution, the third pure qualified fraction is collected, and the third pure qualified fraction is diluted by more than one volume with acetic acid aqueous solution, acetonitrile aqueous solution or ethanol aqueous solution to obtain the third pure diluted fraction; wherein the A3 phase is ammonium acetate buffer, and the B3 phase is preparative grade acetonitrile;

[0012] 5. Concentrating the three pure diluted fractions by column concentration and vacuum rotary evaporation;

[0013] 6. Add an appropriate amount of tert-butyl alcohol aqueous solution to the peptide solution after reduced pressure concentration, filter the filtrate, and freeze-dry to obtain a powdered degarelix product.

[0014] The acetic acid in the mobile phase A1 in step 2 is 1‰-3‰ (V / V).

[0015] The gradient in step 2 is based on the volume percentage of mobile phase B1:

[0016] The pH of the trifluoroacetic acid-triethylamine buffer in the mobile phase A2 in step 3 is 3.0-4.0.

[0017] The gradient in step 3 is based on the volume percentage of the mobile phase B2:

[0018] The concentration of ammonium acetate in the mobile phase A3 in step 4 is 20 mmol / L-80 mmol / L.

[0019] The gradient in step 4 is based on the volume percentage of mobile phase B3:

[0020] During the three purification processes and the column concentration process, the column temperature of the chromatographic column was maintained at 30-40 degrees Celsius.

[0021] In the steps 1, 2, 3 and 4, the volume percentage of the solute corresponding to the acetic acid aqueous solution, the acetonitrile aqueous solution and the ethanol aqueous solution is 10-20%.

[0022] In the step six, tert-butanol aqueous solution is used for dilution. After dilution, the volume percentage of tert-butanol in the solution is 10-20%.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] (1) During the dissolution and purification of the crude product, by using acetic acid aqueous solution, acetonitrile aqueous solution or ethanol aqueous solution and taking measures to keep the column warm at a relatively high temperature, the gel-like precipitation of degarelix is ​​reduced, and the loss of the gel precipitate to the purification equipment and the filler used for purification is reduced.

[0025] (2) In the multi-step purification process, an efficient and suitable mobile phase was used to obtain a refined peptide with a purity of more than 99.5%. At the same time, the overall yield was also higher than that of the general recrystallization method.

[0026] (3) Before freeze-drying, the gel solution is diluted with tert-butyl alcohol aqueous solution until it is clear. The resulting uniform solution can be quickly filtered and freeze-dried to obtain a powder with uniform content. The tert-butyl alcohol can be effectively removed by the freeze dryer.
