Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical detection, and in particular relates to an analytical method for pre-column derivatization of hydrogenated impurities of a melogabalin besylate intermediate. Background Art

[0002] Mirogabalin Besilate is a small molecule drug developed by Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd. for the treatment of peripheral neuropathic pain (PNP), including diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPNP) and postherpetic neuralgia (PHN).

[0003] The current mainstream synthetic route of melogabalin besylate is as follows:

[0004]

[0005] MB-4 is used as the raw material, and MB-3 is generated through hydrogenation reaction, followed by chiral separation to obtain the intermediate MB-2, which is then deacidified to obtain MB-1, which is further hydrolyzed into a salt to obtain melogabalin besylate.

[0006] In the above-mentioned production process, MB-2 is a key intermediate of melogabalin besylate, which is easily over-hydrogenated during the reaction process, resulting in the generation of hydrogenated impurities (MB-2A for short). The physical and chemical properties of this impurity are similar to those of the intermediate MB-2, and it is basically impossible to remove it in subsequent steps. The content of MB-2A impurity will directly affect the quality of the finished product of melogabalin besylate, so it is extremely important to control MB-2A in MB-2. The structure of the MB-2A impurity is as follows;

[0007]

[0008] MB-2A impurities have weak UV absorption, and the sensitivity cannot meet the requirements in conventional liquid-UV systems. For such substances with weak UV absorption, GC, LC-CAD, LC-ELSD, LC-MS and other equipment are usually used for analysis, or a derivatization agent is used for pre-column derivatization reaction to generate substances containing UV absorption, and then HPLC is used for detection and analysis. When using GC, MB-2 samples will degrade at the GC injection port due to its thermal instability. As the number of injections increases, the degradation peak will interfere with the test of MB-2A, resulting in inaccurate results; when using LC-CAD and LC-ELSD instruments, because MB-2A is a semi-volatile substance, the sensitivity in this type of detector is also relatively low and cannot meet the control requirements; although LC-MS can achieve higher sensitivity, its instruments are relatively expensive and the detection cost is high, which is not conducive to the reaction monitoring and release of enterprises.

[0009] At present, there is no report on the relevant technology of the detection method of hydrogenation impurities of melogabalin besylate intermediates. Developing a detection method with good separation and high sensitivity is particularly important for the quality of melogabalin besylate products. Summary of the invention
