Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine, and specifically relates to a synthesis process of a roflumilast intermediate. Background Art
[0002] Roflumilast, whose scientific name is 3-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-N-(3,5-dichloro-4-pyridyl)-4-(difluoromethoxy)benzamide. This drug is a phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor. Phosphodiesterase-4 is a major cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) metabolic enzyme in inflammatory and immune cells, and phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitors have a wide range of anti-inflammatory activities, including inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators and inhibiting the activation of immune cells. In addition, phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitors have also been shown to have therapeutic effects in animal airway inflammation models. Roflumilast and its main active metabolite, roflumilast-N-oxide, are both potent and selective phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitors, which can inhibit the activation of human immune cells and the release of inflammatory mediators in vitro. Roflumilast became the first phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor approved for marketing worldwide. Summary of the invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a synthesis process of a roflumilast intermediate, which is conducive to large-scale mass production.
[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0005] A synthesis process of a roflumilast intermediate, characterized by comprising:
[0006] Procedure for the preparation of sodium 3-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-4-(difluoromethoxy)benzoate.
[0007] The molecular formula of sodium 3-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-4-(difluoromethoxy)benzoate is C 12 H 12 F2O4, chemical formula is
[0008]
[0009] The steps of preparing sodium 3-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-4-(difluoromethoxy)benzoate include:
[0010] 4-Difluoromethoxy-3-hydroxybenzaldehyde (1.88 g, 10 mmol), alkyl bromide (20 mmol), and cesium carbonate (6.51 g, 20 mmol) were stirred in DMF (15 mL);
[0011] The mixture was stirred at 65 °C for 1 hour and monitored by TLC. Then, the reaction solution was poured into water and the solid was collected. The obtained reaction intermediate 4-difluoromethoxy-3-alkoxybenzaldehyde precipitate was used for all the following reactions without further purification;
[0012] A mixture of 4-difluoromethoxy-3-alkoxybenzaldehyde (6.25 mmol), 30% H2O2 (1 mL) and KOH (2.8 g, 50 mmol) in methanol (10 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and monitored by TLC;
[0013] After the reaction was completed, the reaction mixture was diluted with water (30 mL) and adjusted to pH 2 with concentrated hydrochloric acid; the resulting precipitate was collected by filtration to give pure 4-difluoromethoxy-3-alkoxybenzoic acid.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] The stability test confirmed that the product prepared by this process has good stability and the process is feasible. It can effectively control the product quality. The stability study showed that this product is stable and can meet the needs of production and sales. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
