Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a compound, in particular to a method for synthesizing deuterium-labeled ciclopirox glucuronic acid. Background Art

[0002] Ciclopirox is a new broad-spectrum topical antifungal drug. Its chemical name is 6-cyclohexyl-1-hydroxy-4-methyl-2(1H)-pyridone, also known as Ciclopirox and Ciclopirox. Its CAS number is 29342-05-0, EINECS number is 249-577-2, molecular formula is C12H17NO2, and molecular weight is 207.27 g / mol. The structural formula is:

[0003]

[0004] Ciclopirox is commonly used in its ethanolamine salt for the treatment of local fungal infections, mainly by changing the integrity of the fungal cell membrane, causing the outflow of intracellular substances, and blocking the uptake of protein precursors, leading to fungal cell death. It has strong antibacterial and bactericidal effects on dermatophytes, yeasts, molds, etc., and has strong permeability. It also has a certain inhibitory effect on various actinomycetes, Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, mycoplasmas, chlamydia, Trichomonas, etc.

[0005] In recent years, ciclopirox has attracted increasing attention for its several new and promising pharmacological effects in the treatment of cancer and several other diseases. In the European Journal of Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics, 2024, vol. 49, #5, p. 619–629, it is mentioned that the drug exhibits anticancer activity in a variety of different ways, including inhibition of cell proliferation, migration and invasion, induction of apoptosis, and inhibition of angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis. At the same time, ciclopirox olamine can treat type I diabetes by inhibiting the hypnosis of eIF5A and relieving diabetic foot ulcers. In addition, ciclopirox olamine can block the replication of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) at clinically relevant concentrations (10 μM).

[0006] However, other routes of administration are required for treating other diseases. Literature indicates that ciclopirox can undergo extensive glucuronidation in the human body, that is, it is converted into ciclopirox glucuronic acid. There are almost no literature reports on the synthesis of ciclopirox glucuronic acid, and it is still a technical gap in this field for the time being.

[0007] Deuterium is a non-radioactive isotope of hydrogen, with the symbol D. The isotopic abundance of deuterium in nature is about 0.016%. Deuterium-labeled compounds are stable isotope-labeled compounds, which are compounds in which hydrogen atoms or part of hydrogen atoms in the compound are replaced by deuterium atoms. Deuterium-labeled compounds play an irreplaceable role in biomedicine and drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics. For example, parameters of drug metabolism pathways, metabolic mechanisms, and kinetics can be obtained. Isotope labeling technology must be used in drug metabolism safety evaluation in new drug research.

[0008] Isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) uses a standard substance with a natural isotope composition as a reference diluent to calibrate the concentration of the concentrated isotope, and then uses the calibrated concentrated isotope as a diluent to measure unknown samples. The position, number, and abundance of the labeled atoms in the isotope-labeled compound have a relatively large impact on the expected sensitivity, and also on the accuracy and reliability of the test value. If the isotope abundance is not enough, the expected sensitivity will be poor, and the accuracy and reliability of the test value will be poor.

[0009] In order to conduct a comprehensive analysis and study on the clinical, pharmacological, pharmacokinetics and toxicology of ciclopirox, it is necessary to design and develop a synthesis method of deuterium-labeled ciclopirox glucuronic acid based on existing technologies, so as to provide a reference substance for the comprehensive analysis of the clinical, pharmacological, pharmacological, toxicological and new drug development of ciclopirox.
