TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of drug purification, and particularly relates to a refining method of high-purity vonoprazan fumarate. BACKGROUND
[0002] Vonoprazan fumarate (TAK-438, Vonoprazan fumarate) is a new type of oral anti-acid drug jointly developed by Takeda and Otsuka. The product is a new type of potassium ion (K + ) competitive acid blocker (P-CAB), which can competitively inhibit the combination of K + and H + -K + -ATPase (proton pump) in the final step of gastric wall cell secretion of gastric acid, thereby producing strong and lasting inhibition of gastric acid secretion. The drug is suitable for gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, reflux esophagitis, erosive esophagitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, helicobacter infection and peptic ulcer. The product is jointly developed by Takeda and Otsuka, and was approved for marketing by the Japanese Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Integrated Agency (PMDA) on December 26, 2014, and was approved for marketing in China by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) on December 18, 2019.
[0003] Patent CN10242175 discloses a classical preparation method of vonoprazan fumarate. 5-(2-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-formaldehyde is reacted with pyridine-3-sulfonyl chloride to obtain an intermediate 5-(2-fluorophenyl)-1-(pyridine-3-ylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-formaldehyde, then a Schiff base is formed with methylamine, and sodium borohydride is used for reduction to obtain vonoprazan, and finally, fumarate is used for salt formation to obtain vonoprazan fumarate. According to the prior art, the process is the best route for realizing industrialized mass production at present.
[0004]
[0005] However, in the process, the reaction step of reducing the Schiff base by sodium borohydride produces a large amount of over-reduction impurities U2-U5. The structure and physicochemical properties of such process impurities are similar to those of vonoprazan, which makes the separation and purification of the product very difficult, and the impurities are difficult to remove through simple refining and purification, and often need to be purified by multiple recrystallizations, which seriously affects the quality of the final product and the production cost.
[0006]
[0007]
[0008] Patents CN101300229 and CN102421753 disclose that after the crude vinorelbine fumarate is prepared, it needs to be refined at least 4 times to obtain a final product with a purity higher than 99.7%, and the average loss of yield reaches nearly 25%.
[0009] Patent CN113861166 discloses that vinorelbine free base is obtained by salting out of vinorelbine free base, and after refining, vinorelbine free base is obtained; vinorelbine free base is salted with fumaric acid, and the finished product is obtained by refining, which is complicated to operate.
[0010] Patents CN107778286 and CN110590746 disclose a method for purifying vinorelbine by preparing inorganic salt, which adopts the method of salting vinorelbine free base with hydrochloric acid or hydrobromic acid, separating and then liberating, and finally preparing vinorelbine fumarate, which is complicated to operate and has relatively low yield.
[0011] In summary, the process impurities U2~U5 of vinorelbine fumarate are extremely difficult to remove by one-step refining method, and the operation is complicated by multiple recrystallization and different salt formation purification, which seriously affects the product quality and greatly increases the production cost. Therefore, a refining method for vinorelbine fumarate with low cost, high yield, good product quality, less waste and suitable for industrial production is urgently needed. SUMMARY
[0012] The purpose of the present application is to provide a refining method for high-purity vinorelbine fumarate.

[0021] Further, in step S2, the heating and dissolving temperature is 70 to 80℃.
[0022] Further, the mass ratio of the crude vinorelbine fumarate to the activated carbon is 1:0.001 to 0.05.
[0023] The refining method of vinorelbine fumarate provided by the application refines the crude product with a mixed solvent of a polar solvent and water, and adds an appropriate amount of SDS in the refining process, so that the end product is obtained through recrystallization once. The impurity removal effect is good, the removal efficiency of process impurities U2 to U5 is greatly improved, the product purity is greater than 99.9%, and the product quality meets the pharmaceutical requirements.
