Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical separation technology, and specifically relates to a new eutectic of glycyrrhizin and its crystallization preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Climbazole (CAS number: 38083-17-9), also known as chloroether ketone, with the IUPAC name 1-(4-chlorophenoxy)-1-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone, has the chemical formula C15H17ClN2O2 and a relative molecular mass of 292.76. Its structure is shown below. It appears as white or grayish-white crystals, sparingly soluble in water, but readily soluble in toluene and alcohols. The pharmaceutical form is a racemic compound composed of equimolar amounts of R- and S-climbazole.

[0003]

[0004] Climbazole is a classic imidazole antifungal agent with broad-spectrum bactericidal properties. Its bactericidal mechanism involves inhibiting the synthesis of lanosterol 14-α-demethylase in cytochrome P450 enzymes, thereby preventing ergosterol biosynthesis and increasing the fluidity of fungal cell membranes, thus inhibiting fungal growth. It is mainly used in anti-itch and anti-dandruff conditioning shampoos and conditioners, and can also be used in high-end detergents such as antibacterial soaps, shower gels, medicated toothpastes, and mouthwashes.

[0005] Co-crystallization is an effective method to both preserve pharmacological properties and improve the physicochemical properties of drugs. Ganbaosu, a promising local broad-spectrum antifungal drug, has long had its application scope and environmental friendliness limited by its poor water solubility. Therefore, it is necessary to study the co-crystallization of Ganbaosu. Succinic acid is mainly used as a precursor and intermediate for various drugs in the pharmaceutical industry, playing a crucial role, especially in the production of antibiotics, vitamins, and drugs for treating multiple sclerosis such as triamterene.
