Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically relating to a bile acid-norfloxacin complex, its preparation method, and its application as an antibacterial agent. Background Technology

[0002] Norfloxacin, also known as norfloxacin, chemically named 1-ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(1-piperazinyl)-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid, is a third-generation quinolone antibiotic. It inhibits the activity of DNA gyrase in pathogenic bacteria in the digestive tract, thus hindering bacterial DNA replication and exhibiting antibacterial activity. Due to its broad antibacterial spectrum, low incidence of allergic reactions, and mild toxicity, it is widely used clinically. Norfloxacin has good inhibitory effects against Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Proteus, Helicobacter pylori, and Enterobacter aerogenes, but its inhibitory effect on Gram-negative bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and some Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae is relatively poor. By modifying the structure of quinolones, novel antibacterial drugs with better antibacterial activity can be obtained, such as ciprofloxacin, which has strong anti-Gram-negative bacteria activity; norfloxacin, ofloxacin, and moxifloxacin, which have strong anti-Gram-positive bacteria activity; and levofloxacin, which has good broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. Research on the structural modification of quinolones is still ongoing, but the chemical synthesis process of related derivatives generally involves many reaction steps and is becoming increasingly complex. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bile acid-norfloxacin complex and its preparation method. This complex exhibits superior antibacterial activity compared to norfloxacin. Furthermore, the preparation process of the complex is simple, requiring only a one-step reaction and minimal post-treatment. Specifically, this invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0004] On one hand, the present invention provides a method for preparing a bile acid / norfloxacin complex, which involves reacting bile acids and norfloxacin in a THF solvent at 10-30°C for 12-30 h in the presence of 2-(7-azobenzotriazole)-N,N,N',N'-tetramethylurea hexafluorophosphate (HATU) and diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA), followed by post-treatment.

[0005] In the preparation method described above, preferably, the molar ratio of bile acid, norfloxacin, 2-(7-azobenzotriazole)-N,N,N',N'-tetramethylurea hexafluorophosphate, and diisopropylethylamine is 1:1.1-1.3:1.1-1.3:1.5-3; more preferably, the molar ratio of bile acid, norfloxacin, 2-(7-azobenzotriazole)-N,N,N',N'-tetramethylurea hexafluorophosphate, and diisopropylethylamine is 1:1.2:1.2:2.

[0006] In the preparation method described above, preferably, the bile acid is selected from cholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, or ursodeoxycholic acid; when the bile acid is selected from cholic acid, the reaction is carried out overnight at 25°C; when the bile acid is selected from ursodeoxycholic acid, the reaction is carried out in THF solvent at 15°C for 24 hours.

[0007] On the other hand, when the bile acid is selected from bile acids, the bile acid / norfloxacin complex obtained by the above preparation method of the present invention is a bile acid / norfloxacin complex with the molecular formula C. 40 H 56 FN3O7 has the following structural formula (Ⅰ):

[0008]

[0009] Furthermore, when the bile acid is selected from ursodeoxycholic acid, the bile acid / norfloxacin complex obtained by the preparation method described in this invention has the molecular formula Cursodeoxycholic acid / norfloxacin. 40 H 56 FN3O6, with the following structural formula (II):

[0010]

[0011]

[0012] This invention involves a condensation reaction between the carboxyl group of bile acids and the piperazine group of norfloxacin to obtain a complex structure combining bile acids and norfloxacin. This structure significantly enhances the antibacterial activity of norfloxacin, exhibiting better inhibitory effects not only against Escherichia coli and Helicobacter pylori, but also against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Furthermore, the preparation process of this invention is simple. Detailed Implementation
