Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of elastin, belonging to the technical field of drug synthesis. Background Art
[0002] Erastin, Chinese full name: 2-[1-[4-[2-(4-chlorophenoxy)acetyl]-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]-3-(2-ethoxyphenyl)-4-(3H)-quinazolinone; English name: 2-[1-[4-[2-(4-Chlorophenoxy)acetyl]-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]-3-(2-ethoxyphenyl)-4(3H)-Quinazolinone. As a ferroptosis inducer, it is named after the eradicator of RAS and small T (ST) antigen-expressing cells. Ferroptosis is a newly discovered cell death mode characterized by the accumulation of a large amount of iron ions and lipid peroxidation during cell death. Studies have shown that ferroptosis is closely related to tumors, iron metabolism diseases, nervous system diseases, kidney damage and other diseases. Therefore, the study of ferroptosis and its related compounds is of great significance.
[0003] Erastin is an anti-tumor ferroptosis inducer developed by the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research. It works by acting on mitochondrial VDAC and selectively acts on tumor cells carrying the oncogene RAS. Erastin can counteract the resistance of chemotherapy drugs through the ferroptosis pathway, inhibit the proliferation of acute myeloid leukemia cells, and significantly increase the anti-cancer activity of chemotherapy drugs.
[0004] At present, patent US2008 / 299076, 2008 discloses a general method for synthesizing an important intermediate of Erastin, which uses 2-aminobenzoic acid as the starting material, and is first acylated with propionic anhydride and then cyclized; then reacted with o-aminophenyl ether and sodium hydroxide at high temperature; then brominated with bromine; then substituted with piperidine to obtain the important intermediate of Erastin, 3-(2-ethoxyphenyl)-2-[1-(piperazin-1-yl)ethyl]quinazolin-4(3H)-one. The overall yield of the reaction process is low, and there are many impurities in the bromination process, which is not easy to purify. The reaction equation is as follows:
[0005]
[0006] In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing elastin which can effectively improve the generation of polyhalogenated impurities occurring during the synthesis process, improve the quality of elastin products, increase the yield of elastin, and has relatively low cost and is suitable for industrial production.
