Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology and relates to a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (LHRH) antagonist for assisted reproductive technology. Specifically, it relates to a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist for use in patients undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation to prevent premature ovulation, thereby facilitating oocyte retrieval and assisted reproductive technology treatment. The gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist is typically cetrorelix or its pharmaceutical salts, such as acetate. This invention particularly relates to pure cetrorelix acetate. Background Technology
[0002] Cetrorex acetate is a synthetic decapeptide with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist activity. Cetrorex acetate is a natural GnRH analog with non-natural D-amino acid substituents at positions 1, 2, 3, 6, and 10. The Chinese chemical name of cetrorex acetate is: N-acetyl-3-(2-naphthyl)-D-alanyl-4-chloro-D-phenylalanyl-3-(3-pyridine)-D-alanyl-L-seryl-L-tyrosyl-N 5 -Carbamoyl-D-guanine-L-leucine-L-arginine-L-proline-D-alanine-amide acetate, a typical English chemical name for cetrorex is: Acetyl-D-3-(2′-naphtyl)-alanine-D-4-chlorophenylalanine-D-3-(3′-pyridyl)alanine-L-serine-L-tyrosin eD-citruline-L-leucine-L-arginine-L-proline-D-alanine-amide. The chemical structural formula, molecular formula, and molecular weight of cetrorex acetate are as follows:

[0005] Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) binds to receptors on pituitary cell membranes, stimulating the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Cetrorelix acetate competes with endogenous GnRH for receptors on pituitary cells, thereby inhibiting the release of endogenous LH and FSH. The inhibitory effect of cetrorelix acetate occurs immediately after injection and has no stimulatory effect. In women, the effect of cetrorelix acetate is to delay the LH surge, thereby controlling ovulation.
[0006] As a peptide composed of 10 amino acids, cetrorex acetate is usually prepared by chemical synthesis, and many synthetic methods have been documented in the literature. For example, CN101284863B (200810043454.1) discloses a solid-phase synthesis method for cetrorex, which includes the following steps: using Fmoc-Linker-MBHA-Resin as the starting material, amino acids with Fmoc-protecting groups are sequentially linked according to the solid-phase synthesis method to obtain a protected decapeptide resin. During this process, the Fmoc-protecting groups are sequentially removed, and a peptide linking reaction is carried out using HBTU / HOBT or DIC / HOBT as a condensing agent. After obtaining the protected decapeptide resin, an acetylation reaction is performed, followed by simultaneous removal of side-chain protecting groups and peptide cleavage to obtain cetrorex acetate. The cetrorex acetate is then separated and purified by C18 or C8 chromatographic column and freeze-dried to obtain cetrorex acetate or trifluoroacetate.
[0007] CN101863960B (200910134943.2) discloses a method for preparing cetrorex, using Boc amino acids and Wang resin as raw materials. C-terminal amino acids are added sequentially, followed by ammonolysis with 10wt% ammonia water. Then, H2 and Pd are used as deprotecting agents to obtain high-quality cetrorex. The BOC method yields a crude cetrorex yield as high as 60-70%. Using Wang resin as a carrier avoids the use of highly toxic HF acid during final cleavage, and adheres to the principle of minimum protection, allowing for greater flexibility in raw material selection. It also results in fewer synthetic byproducts and easier separation and purification.
[0008] CN104086632A (201410265578.X) discloses a method for preparing cetrorex, the specific steps of which are as follows: A) Using AM resin as the starting resin, amino acids with N-terminal Fmoc protection and side chain protection are sequentially coupled according to the cetrorex backbone peptide sequence, wherein the amino acid at position 6 of the peptide sequence is coupled using Fmoc-D-Orn(Dde)-OH; B) After coupling, the Fmoc protecting group is removed, and then the N-terminus is acetylated; C) The D-ornithine side chain Dde protecting group is removed using a mixed solution of hydrazine hydrate and DMF in a volume ratio of 3:97, and then tert-butyl isocyanate is added to modify the D-ornithine side chain in the decapeptide resin to obtain a fully protected cetrorex peptide resin; D) Cetrorex can be obtained after cleavage, purification, desalting, and lyophilization of the peptide resin.
[0009] CN104610433A (201510083267.6) discloses a method for preparing cetrarolix using Fmoc-Linker-amino resin as the starting material. Nine amino acids with Fmoc-protecting groups are sequentially linked from the C-terminus to the N-terminus. After removing the Fmoc protecting groups, Ac-D-2-Nal-OH is added to obtain an N-terminal acetylated peptide resin, i.e., an Ac-fully protected decapeptide resin. The peptide resin is cleaved using a cleavage reagent, and the cleavage solution is precipitated with ice-cold ether to obtain crude cetrarolix peptide. This is then purified by HPLC preparative column chromatography, and freeze-dried to obtain cetrarolix trifluoroacetate or cetrarolix acetate. It is believed that this invention adopts the principle of minimum protection and uses pre-acetylated N-terminal amino acids Ac-D-2-Nal-OH instead of Fmoc-D-2-Nal-OH, eliminating the side reaction of acetic anhydride in the acetylation reagent on the D-Cit side-chain urea group, improving product purity, increasing crude peptide yield, and facilitating large-scale industrial production.
[0010] CN104861042A (201510275629.1) relates to a method for synthesizing cetrorex acetate. Using RinkAmide-AMResin resin as a carrier and low-cost HBTU / DIEA as a condensing agent, a specific microwave synthesis technique was employed, which improved the condensation efficiency, achieving a crude product yield of 92%. The obtained crude cetrorex was purified by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (rHPLC) and then treated with a strong anion exchange resin to convert to acetate, resulting in a pure cetrorex acetate yield of over 40%, with acetic acid content meeting international standards. This invention is believed to significantly shorten reaction time, improve the final product yield, and possess considerable economic value and broad application prospects.
[0011] The method for preparing cetrorex disclosed in CN107778355B (201610728868.2) uses a novel amino resin as a carrier and a protected D-Orn as a precursor for D-Cit. The side-chain protecting group is then removed, and the cetrorex peptide resin is reacted with tert-butyl isocyanate to generate D-Cit(tBu). The cetrorex peptide resin is acidified using a unique trifluoroacetic acid solution containing hydrogen bromide, which maximizes the removal of the side-chain protecting group tBu from the generated D-Cit(tBu). The resulting cetrorex has high purity and overall yield, avoiding the generation of the toxic impurity [D-Cit(Ac)]-cetrorex. The entire method is simple to operate, operates under mild conditions, and produces a high-quality product.
[0012] CN108264540A (201611265510.7) discloses a method for preparing cetrarolix, which includes the following steps: (1) using resin as a carrier, esterifying the C-terminal amino acid of cetrarolix to prepare an amino acid-resin complex; (2) using the Fmoc strategy solid-phase peptide synthesis method to prepare a protected cetrarolix-resin complex; (3) removing the side chain protecting group with TFA to prepare a deprotected cetrarolix-resin complex; (4) obtaining crude cetrarolix by ammonolysis; (5) purifying the crude product by high performance liquid chromatography to obtain a refined cetrarolix. It is believed that this invention is suitable for the simple and efficient preparation of cetrarolix, solving the problems of numerous side reactions, low yield, and high cost associated with existing methods.
[0013] CN110903352A (201911376082.9) discloses a method for preparing cetrorex, which involves sequentially linking fragments 1-9 of the cetrorex sequence from the C-terminus to the N-terminus using a solid-phase synthesis method under the action of a coupling reagent. After fully protecting and cleaving fragments 1-9, fragment condensation is performed in the liquid phase with DAla-NH2.HCl to obtain fully protected cetrorex. The cetrorex is then cleaved with a lysis buffer, and the cleavage buffer is precipitated with ice-cold diethyl ether to obtain crude cetrorex peptide. Finally, the cetrorex product is purified by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. This invention is believed to have the advantages of simple method, suitability for industrial production, and high production efficiency.
[0014] CN112159461A (202011049746.3) discloses a method for preparing cetrorex, using Knorr-2-Cl-Resin resin as the starting material. Following a solid-phase synthesis method, ten different amino acid resins are sequentially linked to obtain a protected decapeptide resin. In the synthesis, fluorene methoxycarbonyl groups are sequentially removed, followed by a condensation reaction using a solution of benzotriazol-1-yl-oxytripyrrolylphosphine hexafluorophosphate and N,N-diisopropylethylamine in N,N-dimethylformamide as a condensing agent to obtain the protected decapeptide resin. After the condensation reaction, an acetylation reaction is performed to remove the side-chain protecting groups. After cleavage, crude cetrorex is obtained, which is then purified to obtain the final product. It is believed that this invention uses Knorr-2-Cl-Resin resin as the starting material and PyBoP / DIPEA as the condensing agent, making peptide sequence synthesis easier and resulting in a crude cetrorex peptide with high purity.
[0015] CN114920804A(202210672194.4) relates to a cetrilac synthesis process that can be directly used for pilot-scale amplification, comprising: a) obtaining a nonapeptide resin with free terminal amino groups by sequential coupling on a resin support via solid-phase synthesis; b) adding dissolved Ac-D-2-Nal-OAt / OSu / OBt to the nonapeptide resin obtained in step a), adding a catalyst dropwise, and coupling to obtain a fully protected decapeptide resin; c) obtaining crude cetrilac by pyrolysis, precipitation, washing and drying.

[0017] Therefore, those skilled in the art still anticipate new methods for preparing cetrirexate acetate, and still expect such methods to achieve one or more technical effects, such as enabling the removal of specific miscellaneous substances, such as [D-Arg], from the product. 8 The amount of strychnine should be kept as low as possible.

[0192] The above results appear to indicate that using the combination of Fmoc-Arg(Tos)-OH and HBTU / 6-Cl-HOBT / DIEA in step (3) significantly reduces the amount of impurity 28 in the final product compared to using the combination of Fmoc-Arg(pbf)-OH and HBTU / HOBT / DIEA. To verify this hypothesis, the present invention further prepares the following purified cetrilac acetate. Example 7: Referring to Example 4, but using Fmoc-Arg(pbf)-OH instead of Fmoc-Arg(Tos)-OH in step (3) to obtain refined cetrorex acetate; Example 8: Referring to Example 4, but using Fmoc-Arg(Mts)-OH instead of Fmoc-Arg(Tos)-OH in step (3) to obtain refined cetrorex acetate; Example 9: Referring to Example 4, but using Fmoc-Arg(Mtr)-OH instead of Fmoc-Arg(Tos)-OH in step (3) to obtain refined cetrorex acetate; Examples 10: Referring to Example 4, but using HOBT instead of 6-Cl-HOBT in step (3), refined cetrorex acetate was prepared; the four refined cetrorex acetate samples from Examples 7 to 10 were determined using the above-mentioned related substances detection method. The results showed that impurity 28 was 0.373%, 0.406%, 0.348%, and 0.393%, respectively; impurity 32 was in the range of 0.012-0.020%; impurity 6 was in the range of 0.037-0.058%; and impurity 8 was in the range of 0.022-0.056%. No other individual impurities were detected. The results were not significantly different from those of the products in Examples 1 to 4. Since all the raw materials used in each example were from the same batch, the difference in the content of impurity 28 in the products of different examples should not be related to the batch of materials, but rather to the type of raw materials used in step (3). This finding was completely unexpected.
[0193] Experimental Example 2: Stability of Cetirizine Acetate
[0194] Accelerated stability tests were conducted by placing the cetrorex acetate obtained in Examples 4-6 at 25°C for 6 months under light-protected conditions. Samples were taken at 0 and 6 months, and their contents and related substances were determined according to the method described in Test Example 1. The results for 0 months are shown in Test Example 1; the results for cetrorex acetate obtained in Examples 4-6 at 6 months showed no significant difference from those at 0 months, specifically as follows: the contents were 99.79%, 99.93%, and 99.67%, respectively, with no significant difference from the results at 0 months; impurity 32 was all below 0.034%, impurity 6 was all in the range of 0.041-0.056%, and impurity 8 was all in the range of 0.047-0.064%, with no other individual impurities detected; impurity 28 was 0.038%, 0.033%, and 0.047%, respectively. The above test results indicate that the cetrorex acetate prepared by this invention has excellent stability.
