Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a preparation method of a compound, in particular to a preparation method of spiramycin EP impurity G. BACKGROUND

[0002] Spiramycin, consisting of the main component: spiramycin I ((4R, 5S, 6S, 7R, 9R, 10R, 11E, 13E, 16R)-6-[[3, 6-dideoxy-4-O-(2, 6-dideoxy-3-C-methyl-α-L-ribo-hexopyranosyl)-3- (dimethylamino)-β-D-glucopyranosyl]oxy]-4-hydroxy-5-methoxy-9, 16-dimethyl-7-(2-oxoethyl)- 10-[[2, 3, 4, 6-tetradeoxy-4-(dimethylamino)-Derythro-hexopyranosyl]oxy]oxacyclohexadeca-11, 13- dien-2-one) and the secondary components spiramycin II (4-O-acetylspiramycin I), spiramycin III (4-O-propanoylspiramycin I). Isolated from Streptomyces ambofaciens metabolites by French Rhone-Poulenc Laboratory in 1954, containing a 16-membered ring, belongs to macrolide antibiotics. It is generally believed that spiramycin acts on the bacterial ribosome 50S subunit (does not affect human ribosomes, human is 80S ribosome, higher safety), hinders the elongation of the peptide chain, thereby terminating the synthesis of proteins, thereby inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial proteins. The antibacterial spectrum of spiramycin is similar to that of erythromycin, mainly acting on gram-positive bacteria and some gram-negative bacteria, rickettsia and large viruses, etc., such as streptococcus, meningococcus, pertussis bacillus, mycoplasma pneumoniae, diphtheria bacillus, chlamydia trachomatis, leptospira and clostridium, etc. The product has strong effect on penicillin, streptomycin, tetracycline and chloramphenicol resistant bacteria. It is mainly used for various sensitive bacterial infections in clinic, such as upper respiratory tract infection, urinary tract infection, meningitis, mastitis, osteomyelitis, scarlet fever, otitis media, buccal infection and sinusitis, etc.

[0003] Any drug may contain a small amount of impurities due to synthesis, storage and other factors. The study of impurities is an important part of drug development. Whether the impurities can be controlled comprehensively and accurately is directly related to the controllability and safety of drug quality. Therefore, in the supply, production, research and clinical use of drugs, the purity of the drug must be ensured. The study of impurities should be standardized, and the impurities should be controlled within a safe and reasonable limit range, so as to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the drug.

The use of EP impurity standards for detection in drug reporting can directly serve as a quality control basis, significantly reducing the risk of supplementing and accelerating the review. The spiral mycin EP impurity G reported in this paper is the impurity G in the spiral mycin reported by EP. At present, there is no report on the synthesis method of the impurity. SUMMARY

[0051] Comparative Example 1

[0052] Based on Example 1, in step (1), the reaction temperature was changed to 45°C, while the other conditions remained unchanged, yielding 3.40 g of the compound. White solid, yield 30.3%.

[0053] As the reaction temperature increases, the esterification selectivity becomes poor, resulting in the residue of multiple esterification products and raw materials, which leads to a decrease in yield.

[0054] Comparative Example 2

[0055] Based on Example 1, in step (1), the amount of esterifying reagent was changed to 6.70 g (29.7 mmol), while the other conditions remained unchanged, yielding 3.73 g of compound. White solid, yield 33.2%.

[0056] Adding too much esterifying reagent can lead to the production of polyesterification byproducts, resulting in a decrease in yield.

[0057] Comparative Example 3

[0058] Based on Example 1, in step (3), the acid solvent was 0.5N HCl, the pH was 0.3, and the other conditions remained unchanged, yielding 1.10 g of the compound. White solid, yield 19.2%.

[0059] Increased acidity leads to increased hydrolysis of other sugars, resulting in a decrease in yield.

[0060] Comparative Example 4

[0061] Based on Example 1, in step (3), the acid solvent was 0.001N HCl, the pH was 3, and the other conditions remained unchanged, yielding 0.81 g of the compound. White solid, yield 14.1%.

[0062] Because the acidity is reduced, the reaction is less frequent, leading to a decrease in yield.

[0063] Comparative Example 5

[0064] Based on Example 1, in step (3), the temperature was changed to 60°C, while the other conditions remained unchanged, yielding 1.68 g of the compound. White solid, yield 29.3%.

[0065] The reaction temperature was changed to 60℃, which was too high, leading to increased hydrolysis of other sugars and a decrease in yield.
