Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically to a spherical potassium clavulanate, its preparation method, and a compound formulation thereof. Background Technology

[0002] Potassium clavulanate is (Z)-(2S,5R)-3-(2-hydroxyethylidene)-7-oxo-4-oxa-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylic acid potassium. On anhydrous basis, it contains 81.0%–85.6% clavulanic acid (C8H9NO5). It is a white to slightly yellow crystalline powder; slightly odorous; extremely hygroscopic.

[0003] Clavulanate potassium is one of the most widely used β-lactamase inhibitors in the world. Beecham first isolated clavulanate from *Streptomyces rodentata* in 1976. Clavulanate binds firmly to enzymes, rendering them inactive, and its activity is not reactivated by the removal of potassium clavulanate. Clavulanate potassium alone has little clinical significance and is usually used in combination with other β-lactam antibiotics. It is commonly prepared as a combination with amoxicillin sodium or ticarcillin sodium.

[0004] Potassium clavulanate can be prepared by reaction crystallization, dissolution crystallization, and reverse-flow dissolution crystallization. Reaction crystallization is the most widely used method, and it typically involves two steps. The first step is the preparation of a clavulanate amine salt intermediate, commonly using tert-butylamine, tert-octylamine, or polyamines. The second step is an ion exchange salt formation reaction, usually using potassium isooctanoate as the salt-forming agent.

[0005] Currently, the form of potassium clavulanate reported in domestic and international literature and patents is mainly rod-shaped, hence the name "potassium clavulanate". Potassium clavulanate produced by pharmaceutical companies is also rod-shaped.

[0006] Chinese patent CN 109535184 B discloses a method for preparing potassium clavulanate from tert-octyl clavulanate. The method includes: (1) dissolving and filtering tert-octyl clavulanate; (2) dissolving and filtering a salt-forming agent; and (3) crystallizing tert-octyl clavulanate with potassium isooctanoate. This patent obtains high-quality, high-purity potassium clavulanate through optimized process methods, but the potassium clavulanate prepared according to this method has a rod-like structure.

[0007] Chinese patent application CN104910194A discloses a method for preparing potassium clavulanate and its compound formulation. The method involves first filtering the fermentation broth of *Streptomyces rod-shaped*; after decolorizing the filtrate, adding an extractant, transferring it to a pressure-resistant container, removing air bubbles, sealing and shaking, and freezing under controlled temperature until the aqueous phase is frozen. The aqueous phase is then removed to obtain the extract. Potassium carbonate solution is added to the extract while stirring, transferred to a pressure-resistant container, removing air bubbles, sealing and shaking, freezing under controlled temperature, removing the organic phase, and after the solid melts, slowly adding acetone while stirring. The mixture is then filtered, washed, and dried to obtain potassium clavulanate. Potassium clavulanate is then aseptically mixed with amoxicillin or with ticarcillin. The preparation method disclosed in this patent application is simple, low-cost, and produces a product with low impurity content and high purity.

[0008] Currently, there are relatively few patents on the preparation of potassium clavulanate alone, while there are relatively more patents on the preparation of compound formulations. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The purpose of this invention is to provide a spherical potassium clavulanate, its preparation method and compound formulation. This invention prepares potassium clavulanate with a novel structure, and the obtained spherical potassium clavulanate has uniform particle size and good flowability.

[0010] This invention is implemented as follows:

[0011] The spherical potassium clavulanate provided by the present invention has a spherical structure with a diameter of 25-150 μm.

[0012] Furthermore, the angle of repose of this spherical potassium clavulanate is 20°–30°.

[0013] Furthermore, the preparation process of the spherical potassium clavulanate is as follows: First, an amine salt is dissolved in an organic solvent to prepare an amine salt solution; then, potassium isooctanoate is dissolved in an organic solvent to prepare a potassium isooctanoate solution; next, the amine salt solution is decarbonized, and then the potassium isooctanoate solution is added to crystallize; finally, the solution is filtered, washed, and dried.

[0014] This invention provides a method for preparing spherical potassium clavulanate with uniform particle size and good flowability. The specific preparation method is as follows: First, an amine salt solution is prepared using tert-butylamine clavulanate. Only organic solvents are used in the preparation of the amine salt solution; water is not used. The organic solvents are at least two of ethanol, isopropanol, and ethyl acetate. The prepared amine salt solution is decarbonized and filtered. A potassium isooctanoate solution is prepared, using the same organic solvent as that used in the preparation of the amine salt solution. The filtered amine salt solution is kept at 16-20°C, and potassium isooctanoate is added for crystallization. After crystallization, the system is cooled to 3-5°C and kept at this temperature for 2 hours. The crystallized solution is filtered and washed 3-4 times with isopropanol at 2-6°C. The wet powder is then vacuum dried, first by cold suction for 1 hour, and then by drying at 35°C for 6 hours.

[0015] The method for preparing spherical potassium clavulanate provided by this invention comprises the following specific steps:

[0016] (1) Amine salt dissolution stage: Add 85 mL of ethanol and 32.5 mL of isopropanol to 5 g of clavulanic acid tert-butylamine salt, stir and dissolve at 22-26℃, pH≥7.0, slowly add glacial acetic acid (about 0.5-1.2 mL) to the solution, and adjust the pH to 6.00.

[0017] (2) Preparation of KEE solution: Add 4g of potassium isooctanoate to 25mL of isopropanol and 25mL of ethanol and stir until completely dissolved to obtain KEE solution.

[0018] (3) Decarbonization of the solution: Add 1.3g of activated carbon to the amine salt solution obtained in step (1), stir for 30min and then filter, and wash the carbon with a small amount of isopropanol.

[0019] (4) Crystallization: The crystallization solution is kept at a temperature of 16-20℃, stirred, and KEE solution is added at a constant rate over a period of 30 minutes. After the addition is completed, the temperature is lowered to 2-6℃ and stirred and kept at that temperature for ≥2 hours.

[0020] (5) Filtration, washing and drying: Filter the crystallization liquid and wash it 3-4 times with isopropanol at 2-6℃. Vacuum dry the wet powder, first cold-pump for 1 hour, then dry at 35℃ for 6 hours.

[0021] The organic solvents (ethanol and isopropanol) used in steps (1) and (2) above can be replaced with a mixed solvent of ethanol and ethyl acetate, or a mixed solvent of isopropanol and ethyl acetate, or a mixed solvent of ethanol, isopropanol and ethyl acetate.

[0022] The present invention also provides a compound formulation made from the above-mentioned spherical potassium clavulanate and amoxicillin sodium, ticarcillin sodium or amoxicillin.

[0023] The innovative aspects and advantages of this invention are as follows:

[0024] This invention employs a solvent method to prepare potassium clavulanate, using a mixture of two or three of ethyl acetate, isopropanol, and ethanol as a composite solvent. No water is added to the composite solvent. Specific process parameters are then used to influence the crystal conformation, thermodynamic state, and solubility of potassium clavulanate, resulting in spherical potassium clavulanate with uniform particle size distribution, good flowability, and easy packaging. The obtained spherical potassium clavulanate can be combined with amoxicillin sodium, ticarcillin sodium, or amoxicillin to prepare compound formulations. Attached Figure Description
