Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine, and particularly relates to sterile cefepime hydrochloride and a direct preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Sterile cefepime hydrochloride is an important fourth-generation cephalosporin antibiotic with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It is widely used clinically to treat various serious infections, such as respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and skin and soft tissue infections, with significant efficacy and safety.

[0003] The current industrial production process for sterile cefepime hydrochloride involves mixing 7-MPCA ((6R,7R)-7-amino-3-[(1-methyl-1-pyrrolidino)methyl]ceph-3-ene-4-carboxylic acid inner salt) and AE active ester ((Z)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-methoxyiminothioacetic acid-2'-benzothiazole active ester) in a specific proportion, dissolving them in dichloromethane, and then adding triethylamine to react to produce cefepime hydrochloride. Research has found that this process, primarily a batch-type, tank-type production process, results in a long cycle time, leading to increased side reactions and product degradation. This results in a high level of impurities in the finished product, necessitating the production of crude cefepime hydrochloride followed by recrystallization to obtain high-purity sterile cefepime hydrochloride (as described in Chinese Patent CN105859747A). Furthermore, this intermittent tank production process has several other drawbacks: relatively low production efficiency, making it difficult to ensure consistent quality between batches; a complex process involving multiple steps and operations, prone to errors and deviations; long reaction times, which extend the overall production cycle and increase costs and resource consumption; and inconsistent material residence time during intermittent operation, further impacting product purity and consistency. These drawbacks limit the scale-up and quality improvement of sterile cefepime hydrochloride production, hindering its wider and more efficient medical application.

[0004] Therefore, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing intermittent preparation method, it is urgent to develop a new sterile cefepime hydrochloride production method to improve production efficiency, ensure the stability of product quality, reduce costs and achieve more efficient industrial production. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a sterile cefepime hydrochloride and a direct preparation method thereof. The method significantly shortens the preparation cycle of sterile cefepime hydrochloride, greatly reduces side reactions and product degradation, improves production efficiency and product quality, and lays a foundation for directly crystallizing sterile cefepime hydrochloride.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] The present invention first provides a sterile cefepime hydrochloride, the product particle size D90: 100-110 μm, angle of repose: 45-65°, bulk density: 0.35-0.50 g / ml, tap density: 0.67-0.78 g / ml, total impurities: ≤0.17%, solution color: ≤1 # .

[0008] The present invention also provides a direct method for preparing the above-mentioned sterile cefepime hydrochloride, comprising the following steps:

[0009] (1) The 7-MPCA solution and the AE active ester solution are simultaneously passed through a solid base catalyst column for condensation reaction to obtain a condensation solution;

[0010] (2) Controlling the temperature at 0-2°C, the condensation liquid, dichloromethane and water are simultaneously passed through a rapid pipeline mixer, and the resulting mixed liquid is continuously separated through an extraction phase separation column to obtain an aqueous phase;

[0011] (3) Add concentrated hydrochloric acid to the aqueous phase under vacuum and rapid stirring conditions to adjust the pH to 3.5-4.5 to obtain cefepime solution 1; add activated carbon and sodium sulfite to cefepime solution 1, stir and filter to obtain cefepime solution 2; pass cefepime solution 2 and concentrated hydrochloric acid through a microchannel reactor at the same time, adsorb on granular activated carbon, and precisely filter to obtain cefepime hydrochloride crystallization solution; wherein the pH of the mixed solution at the outlet of the microchannel reactor is 0.8-1.0;

[0012] (4) A portion of the cefepime hydrochloride crystallization solution is taken out and mixed with water and acetone to prepare a seed crystal mixture; the remaining cefepime hydrochloride crystallization solution and acetone are added to the seed crystal mixture, and the crystals are grown for 30-60 minutes, and then filtered, washed, and dried to obtain sterile cefepime hydrochloride.

[0013] Furthermore, the volume ratio of the 7-MPCA solution to the AE active ester solution in step (1) is (100-110):(60-65); and the volume ratio of the condensation solution to dichloromethane and water in step (2) is 120:(60-70):(30-40).

[0014] Furthermore, the pH of the solid base catalyst column in step (1) is constant and is between 7.5 and 10.

[0015] Furthermore, the time for the 7-MPCA solution and the AE active ester solution in step (1) to pass through the solid base catalyst column is 15 to 20 minutes.

[0016] Furthermore, the preparation method of the 7-MPCA solution in step (1) is as follows: 7-MPCA, dichloromethane, methanol, and DMF are mixed, the temperature is controlled at -5~0°C, triethylamine is added under rapid stirring, and stirring is continued until it is completely dissolved; wherein the dosage ratio of 7-MPCA, dichloromethane, methanol, DMF, and triethylamine is 100Kg:300-350L:250-270L:400-430L:30-35Kg.

[0017] Furthermore, the preparation method of the AE active ester solution in step (1) is: mixing the AE active ester with dichloromethane and DMF at -5~0°C and stirring until dissolved; wherein the usage ratio of AE active ester to dichloromethane and DMF is 110Kg:250-300L:300-350L.

[0018] Furthermore, in step (3), the mass of the activated carbon is 3%-5% of the mass of 7-MPCA, and the mass of the sodium sulfite is 1%-2% of the mass of 7-MPCA.

[0019] Furthermore, the mass fraction of the concentrated hydrochloric acid in step (3) is 25% to 30%.

[0020] Furthermore, the volume ratio of the remaining cefepime hydrochloride crystallization solution in step (4) to acetone is 8:(40-45).

[0021] Furthermore, in the seed crystal mixture of step (4), the volume ratio of the cefepime hydrochloride solution to be crystallized to water and acetone is 1: (4-5): (20-25), and the volume of the seed crystal mixture is based on the volume that can be touched by the stirring device.

[0022] The present invention (1) first passes 7-MPCA and AE active ester in the form of a solution through a solid base catalyst column, so that they can undergo a condensation reaction under constant alkaline conditions, which not only solves the problem of local over-alkalinity during the reaction process, but also significantly shortens the reaction cycle of 7-MPCA and AE active ester, and reduces the occurrence of side reactions and product degradation under long-term over-alkalinity conditions; (2) then extracts the condensed liquid for phase separation and adjusts the pH twice for crystallization, combined with activated carbon decolorization and sodium sulfite reduction, further improving the quality and color of the cefepime hydrochloride crystallization solution and avoiding recrystallization; (3) after obtaining the cefepime hydrochloride crystallization solution, first take a portion of the cefepime hydrochloride crystallization solution to be prepared into a seed crystal mixture, and then add the remaining cefepime hydrochloride crystallization solution and the crystallization solvent to the seed crystal mixture at a specific speed and method, which can better control the quality and quantity of sterile cefepime hydrochloride crystal nuclei, and then accurately control the crystal growth.

[0023] The method of the present invention realizes the continuous production of sterile cefepime hydrochloride, greatly shortens the preparation cycle of sterile cefepime hydrochloride, reduces the occurrence of side reactions and product degradation, and the obtained cefepime hydrochloride product is high in quality and stable, with a molar yield of more than 91.5% and a purity of more than 99.9%.
