Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of organic synthesis, and in particular to a method for synthesizing Kyotrophin. Background Art

[0002] Kyotrophin (L-tyrosyl-L-arginine) is a neuroactive dipeptide that plays a role in pain regulation in the brain. It was first isolated by Japanese scientists from the brain of cattle in 1979. Kyotrophin is named for Kyoto, Japan, where it was discovered, and for its analgesic activity similar to morphine (or endorphins). Kyotrophin has analgesic effects but does not interact with opioid receptors. Instead, it acts to release alpha-fetoenkephalin and stabilize it for degradation. It may also have properties as a neurotransmitter / neuromodulator. Studies have shown that carotid peptide is present in human cerebrospinal fluid and that patients with persistent pain have lower concentrations of carotid peptide.

[0003] Kyotrophin is an endogenous neuroactive dipeptide with analgesic properties. Kyotrophin has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities. Kyotrophin levels in cerebrospinal fluid are negatively correlated with the progression of neurodegeneration in patients with Alzheimer's disease.

[0004] The synthesis methods of kyotrophin are mainly divided into biosynthesis and chemical synthesis. Biosynthesis has the following disadvantages: the enzyme is not specific enough, the generated tripeptide impurities (such as H-Tyr-Tyr-Arg-OH) are large, and the post-treatment process will cause the enzyme to denature and inactivate, making it difficult to recycle the enzyme, resulting in high costs.

[0005] The reported chemical synthesis method of Kyotrophin is as follows: Z(OMe)-Tyr-NHNH 2 and H-Arg(Mts)-OH as raw materials, condensed at room temperature to obtain an intermediate, the intermediate was purified by recrystallization with n-butanol and ether, then deprotected, post-processed and purified by ion exchange resin, then purified by preparative liquid chromatography, and finally freeze-dried to obtain Kyotrophin with a total yield of 48.23%. In this method, the amino group of Z(OMe)-Tyr-NHNH2 is not protected, and the self-reactive dipeptide impurity H-Tyr-Tyr-OH is easily generated during the reaction. At the same time, the intermediate purification and the final product preparative liquid chromatography purification result in a low yield, and the post-processing method of freeze-drying is costly and not conducive to large-scale industrial production.

[0006]

[0007] Using Boc-Tyr(Bn)-OSu and H-Arg(Mtr)-OH as raw materials, condensation at room temperature obtains an intermediate, which is then purified by column, deprotected, and post-processed by preparative liquid chromatography and ion exchange resin to obtain Kyotrophin, with a total yield of about 40.04%. Similarly, the intermediate purification and final product preparative liquid chromatography purification in this method result in a low yield, and the post-processing method of freeze-drying is costly and not conducive to large-scale industrial production.

[0008] Boc-Tyr-OSu or Boc-Tyr-ONB and H-Arg (Mtr or Pme) -OH are used as raw materials, and condensation is carried out at room temperature to obtain an intermediate, and then the intermediate is purified by preparative liquid chromatography, and then deprotected, and the post-treatment is also treated by ion exchange resin, and then a preparative liquid chromatography method is used, and finally lyophilization is used to obtain Kyotrophin, and the total yield is about 34.48%. In this method, the hydroxyl group of Boc-Tyr-OSu or Boc-Tyr-ONB is not protected, and self-condensation impurities will be generated during the synthesis process of the activated ester. At the same time, the intermediate purification and the final product preparative liquid chromatography purification result in a low yield, and the post-treatment method of lyophilization is costly and not conducive to large-scale industrial production.

[0009]

[0010] The yields of the above-mentioned chemical synthesis methods are generally low. Firstly, in the first step of the synthesis process, the intermediate products are separated and purified by purification methods such as recrystallization or column chromatography; secondly, the final products are converted into salt forms using ion exchange resins and purified by methods such as preparative liquid chromatography, resulting in low yields and high costs. Summary of the invention

[0011] The starting materials used in the present invention adopt relatively better protection strategies for the corresponding active sites. Therefore, there are few by-products generated by the starting materials during the reaction, and the intermediate products can be directly treated without separation and purification, and only simple impurities are removed to ensure the total yield. The by-product DIU generated by the condensing agent, which is difficult to remove in the first step intermediate product, is removed in the post-treatment process of the final product by utilizing the solubility difference between the by-product and the final product. At the same time, desalting is performed according to the isoelectric point of Kyotrophin, and purification can effectively remove impurities in the final product by adjusting the pH to obtain high-purity Kyotrophin. The method is simple to operate and easy to industrialize, while reducing production costs. The reaction formula of its synthesis is as follows: .
