Problems solved by technology

However, due to their ionic charge, they cannot cross the blood-brain barrier into the CNS; thus, the pain relief induced by the central activity of opiates cannot be blocked by the existing quaternary derivatives

Embodiment 1

[0088] N-cyclopropylmethyl-noroxymorphone methyl bromide in 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone: synthesis of methyl bromide

[0089] A 3-neck 500-mL flask was equipped with an addition funnel, thermocouple, condenser, and mechanical stirrer. 100 mL of 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone was added to the flask under blown dry nitrogen, and heated to 55°C. A powder funnel was used instead of the additional funnel, 100 gm of naltrexone anhydrous base was added under stirring, the funnel was "rinsed" with 25 mL of 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and the temperature was adjusted to 55-58°C. Reinstall the additional funnel in the 3-neck flask. Separately, cool 25 mL of anhydrous 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone in a graduated cylinder. The methyl bromide gas was condensed in an ice bath in a thin lecture bottle and 25 mL of the methyl bromide in liquid form was measured out into another cold graduated cylinder. The cold methyl bromide liquid and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone were combined and mixed. The methyl bromide solution ...

[0092] From N-alkylation: a method for product purification of N-cyclopropylmethyl-noroxymorphone methyl bromide

[0093] First remove the unwanted of phenolic (O-alkyl) by-products. The solution was heated to 50-65 °C with an additional 500 mL of methanol. The solution was cooled at 20-25°C for 60-90 minutes. The sodium salt crystallized under stirring and was recovered by vacuum filtration. Dry at 60°C under nitrogen, and weigh 53-55 g of the sodium salt.

[0094] The product was regenerated by adjusting the pH of the sodium salt solution in methanol / water (100 mL, ratio 5:7.5) to 0.5-1 with 25 g of 45% hydrobromic acid. Filter the solution, add 150mL methanol, adjust the temperature to 50-55°C, and finally cool to ice bath temperature. The white precipitated product was recovered by vacuum filtration and rinsed with 75 mL of methanol. After drying to 75°C, the pure product weighed about 45 g. The product was tested by HPLC and was 99.5% pure relative to analytical st...

[0097] N-cyclopropylmethyl-noroxymorphone methyl bromide in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF): synthesis of methyl bromide

[0098] Naltrexone base (40.0 g) was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) (50 mL Mallinckrodt, AR) with gentle heating and purged with dry house nitrogen. Methyl bromide (5 mL, Aldrich) cooled to ice bath temperature was measured into a cold (ca. 5° C.) 10 mL graduated cylinder and quickly added to the reaction flask. With the bubbler left in place, the glass flask was heated at 65°C for 10 hours. After a brief reflux, the crude product was recovered from DMF by precipitation with acetone (75 mL, Mallinckrodt AR). A white solid was isolated by vacuum filtration and rinsed with acetone (Mallinckrodt AR). The crude product (22.7 g) was dissolved in methanol (Mallinckrodt AR) / deionized water (110 mL, 80 / 20), charcoal treated (0.5 g, DARCO KB-B, Ba#M-1014) and allowed to crystallize. The salt product (17.2 g) was again recrystallized from methanol / deionized ...

Abstract

Process for the preparation of quaternary derivatives of morphinan alkaloids comprising contacting a tertiary N-substituted morphinan alkaloid with an alkyl halide in an anhydrous solvent system comprising an aprotic dipolar solvent, the phobic The protic dipolar solvent constitutes at least 25% by weight of the solvent system.

Description

Background technique [0001] The present invention relates to a method for the synthesis and / or recovery of quaternary N-alkyl salts of morphinan alkaloids. [0002] Morphinan alkaloids such as naltrexone ((5α)-17-(cyclopropylmethyl)-4,5-epoxy-3,14-dihydroxymorphinan-6-one, sometimes called N-cyclo Propylmethyl-noroxymorphone) and naloxone ((5α)-4,5-epoxy-3,14-dihydroxy-17-(2-propenyl)morphinan-6-one, N-methyl quaternary derivatives, sometimes called N-allyl-noroxymorphone), are potent antagonists of mu receptors and have useful pharmacological properties. They bind to receptors located primarily in the periphery of the gastrointestinal tract, act as antagonists, and are effective in alleviating some of the unwanted side effects of opiate therapy such as constipation and nausea. However, due to their ionic charge, they cannot cross the blood-brain barrier into the central nervous system; thus, pain relief from the centrally active opiates cannot be blocked by these quaternary...
