Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of doxycycline technology, specifically relating to a veterinary drug doxycycline composition and its preparation process. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, doxycycline, also known as doxycycline hydrochloride or deoxyoxytetracycline hydrochloride, is mainly used as an antibiotic to treat infections caused by violet-positive cocci and violet-negative bacilli. It can also be used for rickettsial infections such as typhus and scrub typhus, and is effective against amoebic dysentery and atypical pneumonia. The current production process for doxycycline uses oxytetracycline as a raw material, which is purified through chlorination, dehydration, hydrogenation, and conversion.

[0003] In the production process of doxycycline, the hydrogenation reaction is the most crucial step, significantly impacting product quality and yield. During dechlorination and hydrogenation, the metal catalyst greatly influences the isomer selectivity, directly affecting the quality, yield, and cost of the final product. Current technologies often use 11α-chloro-methyloxytetracycline p-toluenesulfonate as a raw material, with Pd / C2 or silica-bonded Rh(PPh)Cl as a catalyst, simultaneously performing dechlorination and hydrogenation. This results in poor stereoselectivity and low yield. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, this invention provides a veterinary drug doxycycline composition and its preparation process, which features improved stereoselectivity and yield.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a veterinary drug doxycycline composition, comprising 24%-26% methanol, 3.5%-6.5% oxytetracycline base, 0.03%-0.1% methanol ammonia, 1.7%-3.2% NBS, 24%-26% 11α-bromo-6,12-hemiacetal oxytetracycline, 7%-8% HZSM-5, 24%-26% toluenesulfonic acid, and 3%-4% palladium on carbon.

[0006] Preferably, the catalyst is further comprising 2.7%-3.2% tetraisopropyltitanium oxychloride and 3.07%-4% S-biphenol.

[0007] Preferably, a process for preparing a veterinary drug doxycycline composition includes the following steps: Step 1: Place 100g of methanol, 10g of oxytetracycline base and 0.1g of methanol ammonia into a reaction flask in sequence. Stir with an ultrasonic stirrer at 20~30℃ for 30min, then start cooling to -10~-15℃. Add 5g of dried and pulverized NBS and stir for 15min. Monitor the reaction of the raw materials by TLC until the reaction is complete. A large amount of solid precipitates in the reaction flask. Filter the solid using a centrifuge to obtain a filter cake. Step 2: The filter cake was washed with cold methanol to obtain 11α-bromo-6,12-hemiacetal oxytetracycline with a yield of 95%. It was dried at low temperature to a content of about 90%. The mother liquor was fractionated and the methanol obtained was reused. Step 3: Add 500 mL of anhydrous benzene to a reaction vessel equipped with a dehydration device. Purge the reaction vessel with nitrogen gas. Slowly add 100 g of 11α-bromo-6,12-hemiacetal oxytetracycline while stirring, and then add 20 g of HZSM-5. Stir at room temperature for 2 hours, then slowly heat to reflux and drain the water generated in the reaction in time. Step 4: Dilute the residual liquid with ethanol, add ammonia in ethanol solution (7%) at a uniform rate to neutralize the reaction solution to pH 1-2, cool to 0℃, filter, monitor the reaction of the raw materials by TLC until the reaction is complete, cool naturally to 50℃, filter the reaction solution while hot, filter out the solid hydroxyl dehydrating agent, remove the reaction solvent benzene from the filtrate by evaporation, wash with 50mL of cold ethanol, add 50g of p-toluenesulfonic acid to the filtrate, and add a small amount of seed crystals to precipitate crystals, cool to 0℃ and filter, wash with cold ethanol to obtain 105g of 11α-bromo-6-methyleneoxytetracycline p-toluenesulfonic acid, yield 100%. After neutralizing the mother liquor with alkali to neutral, the benzene and ethanol obtained by distillation can be reused. Step 5: First, add 400mL of DMF and 200mL of water to the reaction flask, then add 100g of 11α-bromo-6-methyleneoxytetracycline p-toluenesulfonic acid and 12g of palladium on carbon (5wt%). Finally, add 4g of the chiral catalyst tetraisopropyloxytitanium and 5g of S-biphenol. Stir for 10 minutes, then add p-toluenesulfonate and stir until homogeneous. Aspirate into the hydrogenation tank, close the valve, and use a vacuum pump to evacuate to 40mmHg. Maintain this for 15 minutes, then introduce hydrogen gas at 30~35℃ while stirring. Continue introducing hydrogen gas for 2 hours until hydrogen absorption slows down. Take a sample for TLC. When the amount of methyleneoxytetracycline is trace, continue introducing hydrogen gas for 2 hours and then stop the reaction. Step 6: Slowly release hydrogen until the internal pressure is zero, then introduce nitrogen to remove the remaining hydrogen. Heat to 50°C, introduce nitrogen again, and filter through a filter press. Wash thoroughly with a DMF solution containing 10wt%~50wt% in several passes, then wash the palladium on carbon with an appropriate amount of distilled water. Combine the filtrate and washings and draw them into the reaction vessel to make the DMF content in the solution 40wt%~42wt%. Cool to 5°C, centrifuge and filter. Wash the filter cake once with a small amount of cold ethanol, and dry to obtain deoxyoxytetracycline hydrochloride with a yield of 53%. Feed it into a tablet press according to different needs to obtain fixed tablets and package them.

[0008] Preferably, in step five, the internal pressure is maintained at 1.5~2 kg / cm2 when hydrogen is introduced.

[0009] Preferably, in step six, the 10wt%~50wt% DMF solution is heated to 50°C.

[0010] Preferably, in step six, the specific steps for adding the drug powder into the capsule and tablet press according to different needs to obtain capsules and fixed tablets and then packaging them are as follows: put the veterinary drug doxycycline powder into the tablet press and start the equipment to press the powder into tablets of uniform size, and then package the processed tablets.
