Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of penicillin V potassium production, and particularly to a new process for preparing penicillin V potassium. Background Art

[0002] Penicillin V potassium is a β-lactamase antibiotic, with Chinese alias potassium (3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-6-(2-phenoxyacetamido)-4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylate), which is soluble in water and poorly soluble or insoluble in butanol, butyl acetate, and acetone. It is an important raw pharmaceutical material and pharmaceutical precursor. Compared with penicillin G potassium / sodium, it is stable to acid and slowly destroyed by enzymes, and can be used in the production of oral preparations, injection needles, and semi-synthetic penicillins and cephalosporins, which is convenient and highly safe. Due to its good bactericidal effect, it has become the first choice for treating infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria and some Gram-negative bacteria. At present, the global demand for penicillin V potassium is limited. The domestic enterprises with penicillin V potassium raw material drug batch numbers are North China Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., China National Pharmaceutical Corporation Weichida Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., and Jiangxi Dongfeng Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. The foreign European manufacturer Sandoz has been monopolizing the international high-end market and impacting the domestic market with low prices.

[0003] Reference Figure 1 , the existing extraction and purification process of penicillin V potassium (the method of CN101321771B) utilizes the difference in the solubility of penicillin V in water and organic solvents when it exists in different chemical states - the free acid of penicillin V and the salts of penicillin V under different pH conditions, and achieves the purpose of concentration and purification through extraction, transfer, and separation processes. This process has problems such as a long production cycle and many impurities. Activated carbon is used in the operating environment, generating a large amount of solid waste, and the smell of butyl acetate in the workshop is relatively strong. The molar yield is 60 - 64%, and at the same time, the content of 4-hydroxy penicillin V potassium in the product affects the development of consistency evaluation work. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a new process for preparing penicillin V potassium.

[0005] The new process for preparing penicillin V potassium includes the following steps:

[0006] a) Flocculating the penicillin fermentation broth and then passing it through a drum filtration device;

[0007] b) Passing the drum filtrate through a spiral ultrafiltration membrane device, and acidifying and crystallizing the spiral ultrafiltrate to obtain penicillin V acid crystal I;

[0008] c) Recrystallizing penicillin V acid crystal I to obtain penicillin V acid crystal II;

[0009] d) Penicillin V acid crystal Ⅱ reacts with potassium isooctanoate to crystallize and obtain potassium penicillin V;

[0010] e) Dry and store.

[0011] In the above step d), potassium isooctanoate is used instead of potassium carbonate to react with penicillin V acid crystal Ⅱ, and the reaction formula is as follows:

[0012] Penicillin V acid + potassium isooctanoate → potassium penicillin V + isooctanoic acid

[0013] Potassium isooctanoate, as a pharmaceutical intermediate, is commonly used as a salt-forming agent for antibiotics. Its obvious advantages lie in its mildness and stability after salt formation, and it can dissolve in many organic solvents, which is beneficial to the separation of the anhydrous final product, improving the quality and yield of the product.

[0014] Using potassium isooctanoate can form salt in one step. The reaction is rapid and crystals can precipitate immediately after the reaction is completed, shortening the crystallization time. The original process needs to react with potassium carbonate first to form an alkaline solution and then carry out azeotropic crystallization in two steps. The reaction conditions are mild and can be carried out at low temperature and normal pressure, avoiding degradation caused by high temperature, which is beneficial to the stability of the finished product, and then improving the quality and yield of the finished product. Moreover, the solvent used in this reaction is a low-boiling solvent, and the recovery does not require a large amount of energy and power.

[0015] Furthermore, in the above step a), the flocculant used in the flocculation treatment of penicillin fermentation broth is polyacrylamide, with a concentration of 0.1 - 1.0%, the usage amount is controlled at 5 - 10% (v / v), the flocculation treatment temperature is 10 - 30 °C, and the time is 15 - 45 min.

[0016] Furthermore, the specific method of step b) is: Take the rotary drum filtrate through a spiral wound ultrafiltration membrane device, circulate and concentrate the rotary drum filtrate to obtain the dialysis solution before adding water, gradually add water to the dialysis solution before adding water to obtain the dialysis solution after adding water, and then pass the dialysis solution after adding water through a nanofiltration membrane for concentration to obtain a nanofiltration concentrate. Acidify and crystallize the dialysis solution before adding water and the nanofiltration concentrate respectively, and mix them to obtain penicillin V acid crystal Ⅰ; or acidify and crystallize to obtain penicillin V acid crystal Ⅰ after mixing the dialysis solution before adding water, the dialysis solution after adding water and the nanofiltration concentrate in a certain proportion.

[0017] Furthermore, in step b), the aperture model of the ultrafiltration membrane is 3 - 30K, the ultrafiltration operation pressure is controlled at 8 - 10 bar, the average membrane flux is 20 - 45 LMH, and the operating temperature is 8 - 15 °C.

[0018] Furthermore, the method for obtaining the dialysis solution after adding water is: First, circulate and concentrate the rotary drum filtrate by 5 - 15 times, and then gradually add 0.5 - 1.0 times of water to improve the yield.

[0019] Further, in step b), the acid used in the acidification crystallization process is one of sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, acetic acid or phosphoric acid.

[0020] Further, the recrystallization process in step c) is as follows: Dissolve penicillin V acid crystal I in an organic solvent and add water for precipitation. The organic solvent is one of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol or acetone. Among them, penicillin V acid crystal I (g): organic solvent (mL): water (mL) = 1: 3 - 6: 20 - 90, the recrystallization temperature is 10 - 30 °C, the crystal growth time is 10 - 45 min, the peristaltic pump feeding time is 45 - 90 min, and the water consumption for washing the filter cake (mL): penicillin V acid crystal II (g) = 4 - 10: 1.

[0021] Further, the specific method of step d) is as follows:

[0022] 1) Preparation of the bottom liquid: Penicillin V acid crystal: organic solvent I (one of methanol, butyl ester, butanol, acetone or isopropanol): cosolvent = 1: 5 - 20: 0.1 - 1.0. Dissolve until clear, filter through a membrane, rinse the bottle with organic solvent I (one of methanol, butyl ester, butanol, acetone or isopropanol), and transfer to the bottom liquid;

[0023] 2) Preparation of the feeding liquid: Penicillin V acid crystal: potassium isooctanoate = 1: 0.5 - 1.0, potassium isooctanoate: organic solvent II (one of methanol, butyl ester, butanol, acetone or isopropanol) = 1: 5 - 10. Dissolve until clear, filter through a membrane, rinse the bottle with organic solvent II (one of methanol, butyl ester, butanol, acetone or isopropanol), and transfer to the feeding liquid;

[0024] 3) Start the reaction crystallization. Slowly add the feeding liquid to the bottom liquid, with a rotation speed of 200 - 500 revolutions per minute, a reaction temperature of 10 - 30 °C, a reaction time of 1 - 3 h, and a crystal growth time of 1 - 2 h.

[0025] Further, in step e), the drying temperature is 50 - 65 °C, the drying time is 6 - 12 h, and after drying, it is stored in a drying vessel.

[0026] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: Using a spiral ultrafiltration membrane device to treat the rotary drum filtrate can remove some proteins and pigments, greatly improving the light transmittance and color of the rotary drum filtrate; and eliminating steps such as extraction, decolorization, and back-extraction, simplifying the process, saving raw materials and improving the operating environment; after recrystallizing the penicillin V acid crystals formed by acidification with an organic solvent / water, the molar yield and quality indicators of the obtained penicillin V potassium finished product are greatly improved compared with the existing level, and impurities, especially 4-hydroxy penicillin V, are significantly reduced.
