Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical medicine, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing cyproterone acetate. Background Art

[0002] Cyproterone acetate, commonly known as "Cyproterone", can strongly antagonize androgen receptors and reduce serum testosterone through its weak anti-gonadotropin effect. It was first used clinically as an anti-androgen in 1964. It is regarded as the only hormone that can cause complete androgen blockade through monotherapy, and is therefore used clinically to treat advanced prostate cancer, metastatic male breast cancer, and acne and hair loss caused by high androgen in women. This potent anti-androgen inhibitor has been included in the essential drug lists of 55 countries.

[0003] Several methods have been reported for the synthesis of cyproterone acetate, including Neumann et al. synthesizing compound 4 and its derivatives from Solasodine by an 18-step asymmetric synthesis (Gynecological Endocrinology, 11, 1997, 411-433). Manosroi et al. improved the 12-step, 14-step and 16-step synthesis strategies for synthesizing 4 from Solasodine (EP1359154A1). Kongkathip et al. reported that 16β-chloro (or bromo)-4 was obtained by 14-step stereoselective synthesis from commercially available 16-dehydropregnenolone acetate (Synthetic Communications, 33, 2003, 1695-1706). These synthetic routes have many steps (12-18 steps), with waste generated and safety issues in handling hazardous materials and / or highly reactive substances / intermediates to achieve complex selective transformations, and the overall efficiency of the reported batch methods is not ideal.

[0004] Flow chemistry has many advantages over batch synthesis in the synthesis of small organic molecules, especially in terms of environmental compatibility, safety, and synthetic efficiency, especially when considering scale-up. These advantages have begun to have an important impact on the entire chemical community. Summary of the invention
