Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of drug synthesis, and in particular to a post-synthesis treatment method of tenofovir. Background Art
[0002] Tenofovir is an acyclic nucleoside antiviral drug that inhibits HBV polymerase and HIV reverse transcriptase. The active ingredient of tenofovir, tenofovir bisphosphonate, can inhibit viral polymerase by directly competing with natural deoxyribose substrates and terminate the chain by inserting into DNA. It is the first nucleotide analog approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. Tenofovir is a drug in the AIDS cocktail therapy. Studies have shown that it can effectively improve the ability of monkeys to prevent immunodeficiency virus (similar to human AIDS virus).
[0003]
[0004] In addition, Tenofovir is a key intermediate of two raw materials, Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (abbreviated as: TDF) and Tenofovir Alafenamide Fumarate (abbreviated as: TAF). Both are currently the first-line antiviral treatment drugs for HIV and HBV.
[0005]
[0006] It can be seen from the structural formulas of the two raw materials that tenofovir is the key main fragment of the two drugs. Therefore, developing a tenofovir synthesis method with low cost, simple operation and good product quality can help provide the society, the country and the community with TDF and TAF drugs with good product quality and low price.
[0007] At present, the mainstream synthesis route of tenofovir is to use adenine and R-propylene carbonate as starting materials, and react under alkaline catalysis to obtain (R)-(+)-9-(2-hydroxypropyl) adenine (abbreviated as: HPA), which is then reacted with another key material diethyl p-toluenesulfonyloxymethylphosphonate (abbreviated as: DESMP) to obtain tenofovir diethyl ester (abbreviated as: DEP), and then the phosphate ester is hydrolyzed and the pH value is adjusted to obtain tenofovir:
[0008]
[0009] In the preparation of PMPA according to patent WO9804569A1, when preparing the intermediate DEP, DMF is used as a solvent and lithium tert-butoxide is used as a base (acidifying agent) to prepare DEP by a nucleophilic substitution reaction by heating. After the reaction is completed, a weak acid is used to neutralize N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF for short, the same below) and then concentrated under reduced pressure and then hydrolyzed to prepare PMPA:
[0010]
[0011] The original synthesis used tert-butyl lithium as a base, and trimethylsilyl bromide as a hydrolysis agent during the hydrolysis of phosphate esters. After completion, the acid and base were adjusted once and the recrystallization and slurrying were performed twice, which ultimately increased the production cost of the product and greatly reduced the yield.
[0012] The synthesis process reported in patent US5733788A uses lithium hydride as an acidifying agent and DMF as a reaction solvent when preparing DEP. Similarly, after the reaction is completed, the acid is used for neutralization and the solvent is concentrated under reduced pressure before the next reaction.
[0013]
[0014] The nucleophilic substitution reaction used lithium hydride as a base for the nucleophilic substitution reaction, and then was hydrolyzed with trimethylsilyl bromide. The yield of the first step reaction was 50%, the yield of the second step was 79%, and the total yield of the two steps was 39.5%, and the reaction yield was relatively low.
[0015] Patent WO2008007392A2 (Process for the preparation of Tenofovir) reports the use of magnesium tert-butoxide as an acidifying agent to prepare PMPA in the process for preparing TDF.
[0016]
[0017] The literature uses magnesium butoxide as a base for the reaction, and then uses concentrated hydrochloric acid or concentrated bromic acid as a hydrolysis reagent. The hydrolysis reagent no longer uses trimethylsilyl bromide, which saves material costs. However, the total yield of the two-step reaction (substitution reaction and acidolysis reaction) is at most 70%, which is low.
[0018] Patent WO0208241 reported the production of TAF, using magnesium isopropoxide as the acidifying agent and DMF as the reaction solvent to prepare PMPA:
[0019]
[0020] The synthetic route uses magnesium isopropoxide as a base reaction, and trimethylsilyl bromide is used to hydrolyze the ester. The reaction uses relatively expensive trimethylsilyl bromide as an acid hydrolysis reagent. The total yield of the other two steps is only 65.4%, and the reaction yield is low.
[0021] Most of the literatures reported above used the relatively expensive acid hydrolysis reagent trimethylsilyl bromide, and the yields of both steps were not high, thus increasing the production cost of PMPA.
[0022] In addition, the equivalent ratio of HPA and diethyl p-toluenesulfonyloxymethylphosphonate (DESMP) in all literatures is basically 1.00:1.20, and DESMP is in liquid state. Due to its high boiling point, it cannot be distilled off. Therefore, impurities such as p-toluenesulfonic acid, hydroxymethylphosphonic acid, and p-toluenesulfonyloxymethylphosphonic acid are generated during the hydrolysis process. Therefore, the above impurities need to be removed and controlled during post-treatment:
[0023]
[0024] It can be seen from the above patents that optimizing the use of cheaper reagents and optimizing the post-processing methods to increase product yields can reduce PMPA production costs and improve product competitiveness. Summary of the invention
[0025] The purpose of the present invention is to develop a post-processing method that is simple to use, low in cost, reusable, has a high product yield and good quality, and can achieve industrial production of products.
[0026] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:
[0027] A tenofovir post-production processing method comprises the following process steps:
[0028] (R)-9-(2-hydroxypropyl)adenine reacts with diethyl p-toluenesulfonyloxymethylphosphonate in the presence of magnesium tert-butoxide as a base, and then undergoes a nucleophilic substitution reaction. The reaction is then hydrolyzed under the action of a strong acid to obtain tenofovir, which is then concentrated and deacidified. Other impurities are then washed off through an activated cation exchange resin column.
[0029] Tenofovir is then eluted with alkali, and the eluate is concentrated under reduced pressure;
[0030] Then adjust the pH value to precipitate the product and obtain qualified tenofovir.
[0031] The further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention lies in that: the cation exchange resin is a strongly acidic cation exchange resin; the strongly acidic cation exchange resin is a gel-type ion exchange resin or a macroporous ion exchange resin; the ion exchange groups of the cation exchange resin include -SO3H, -SO3NH4, -SO3Na, -SO3K, these ion groups.
[0032] The further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that after the tenofovir mother solution is activated, the resin column is rinsed with purified water to remove impurities with excess hydrochloric acid, and finally the pH value is rinsed to 3-7; when the tenofovir mother solution is activated, the resin column is rinsed at a temperature of 10-80°C.
[0033] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that when eluting the tenofovir resin column, the mobile phase is a 2-10% ammonia solution.
[0034] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that when eluting a tenofovir resin column, the mobile phase solution is a purified water-ammonia solution, or purified water-methanol; or a purified water-ethanol solution; or a purified water-isopropanol solution; or a mixed solution of purified water and other organic solvents.
[0035] The further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that when eluting the tenofovir resin column, the molar ratio of ammonia to tenofovir in the eluent is (1.0-15.0):1.00; and the ammonia solution content of the eluent is 2%-16%.
[0036] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that when the eluted tenofovir solution is concentrated, it is concentrated under reduced pressure until the tenofovir content is 5-50%.
[0037] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that after the tenofovir solution is concentrated and eluted, the pH value is adjusted to between 2.5 and 3.5 using hydrochloric acid.
[0038] The further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that after adjusting the pH value with hydrochloric acid, the crystallization temperature is -10 to 30° C. and the crystallization time is 1 to 10 hours.
[0039] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that after elution of the tenofovir resin column, the cation exchange resin column is activated using sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and hydrochloric acid.
[0040] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technical effects achieved by the present invention are as follows:
[0041] The post-synthesis treatment method of tenofovir of this technical solution reduces the three industrial wastes, and the resin column can be reused. At the same time, the product yield can be improved, which is conducive to the industrial production of tenofovir. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0042] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0043] The technical solution of the present invention is a tenofovir production post-processing method, which improves the product yield and product quality by improving the processing technology while reducing the cost.
[0044] The method comprises the following process steps:
[0045] Step 1: (R)-9-(2-Hydroxypropyl)adenine reacts with diethyl p-toluenesulfonyloxymethylphosphonate in the presence of magnesium tert-butoxide as a base, and then undergoes a nucleophilic substitution reaction. The reaction is then hydrolyzed under the action of a strong acid to obtain tenofovir, which is then concentrated and deacidified. Other impurities are then washed off using an activated cation exchange resin column.
[0046] Step 2: Tenofovir is then eluted with alkali and the eluate is concentrated under reduced pressure.
[0047] Step 3: Then adjust the pH value to precipitate the product and obtain qualified tenofovir.
[0048] Specifically, it is necessary to further optimize the process parameters in each of the above steps. The details are as follows:
[0049] The mass total exchange capacity of the cation exchange resin used in step 1 is ≥4mmol / g, and the volume total exchange capacity is ≥2mmol / ml.
[0050] The cation exchange resin is a strongly acidic cation exchange resin; the strongly acidic cation exchange resin is a gel-type ion exchange resin, such as a styrene-based gel-type ion exchange resin; or a macroporous ion exchange resin, such as a styrene-based macroporous ion exchange resin.
[0051] The ion exchange groups of the cation exchange resin include -SO3H, -SO3NH4, -SO3Na, -SO3K.
[0052] When the tenofovir mother solution is overactivated on the resin column, the ratio of the actual weight of tenofovir to the weight of the cation exchange resin is 1:(0.50-15.00).
[0053] In step 1, after the tenofovir mother solution is activated, the resin column is rinsed with purified water to remove impurities with excess hydrochloric acid, and finally the pH value is rinsed to 3-7; when the tenofovir mother solution is activated, the resin column is rinsed at a temperature of 10-80°C.
[0054] In step 2, when eluting a tenofovir resin column, the mobile phase is a 2-10% ammonia solution. When eluting a tenofovir resin column, the mobile phase solution is a purified water ammonia solution, or purified water-methanol; or purified water-ethanol solution; or purified water-isopropanol solution; or a mixed solution of purified water and other organic solvents. When eluting a tenofovir resin column, the molar ratio of ammonia to tenofovir in the eluent is (1.0-15.0):1.00; the ammonia solution content of the eluent is 2%-16%.
[0055] When the eluted tenofovir solution needs to be concentrated in step 2, it is concentrated under reduced pressure until the tenofovir content is 5-50%.
[0056] In step 3, the pH value of the concentrated eluted tenofovir solution is adjusted to between 2.5 and 3.5 using hydrochloric acid. Specifically, after adjusting the pH value using hydrochloric acid, the crystallization temperature is between -10 and 30° C., and the crystallization time is between 1 and 10 hours.
[0057] After elution of the tenofovir resin column was completed, the cation exchange resin column was activated using sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and hydrochloric acid.
[0058] Example 1: Preparation of Tenofovir (PMPA)
[0059] Tenofovir was prepared with reference to Example 3 of WO2008007392A2 (Process for the preparation of Tenofovir), which specifically comprises the following steps: (R)-9-[2-(Hydroxy)propyl]adenine (HPA) (100.00 g, 0.52 mol) was weighed and added to 200 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and stirred evenly; 70.61 g (0.41 mol) of magnesium tert-butoxide was slowly added at 25-35° C. under a temperature control system; then the temperature was raised to 60-65° C. and stirred for 1 hour; after 1 hour, the temperature was raised to 74-78° C.; p-toluenesulfonyloxymethyl was slowly added under a temperature control system; 200.19 g (0.62 mol) of diethyl phosphonate (DESMP) was added over 1-2 hours.

Then the temperature was lowered to 25-35°C. 600 ml of dichloromethane and 100 ml of purified water were added to the system. After stirring for 1 hour, the generated salt was filtered out. Then the water layer was separated and the dichloromethane was evaporated under reduced pressure. 655g (3.88mol) of concentrated hydrobromic acid was added to the concentrate, and then the temperature was raised to 90-95°C, and the reaction was kept warm for 5 hours. After the reaction was completed, the temperature was lowered and the sample was sent for detection to find that the tenofovir content was 120.56g (the total conversion rate of the two steps was 81.10%). 300ml of purified water and 300ml of dichloromethane were added to the system, and then the pH value was adjusted to 2.50-3.00 with 30% sodium hydroxide solution, and then the temperature was controlled at 0-5°C and stirred for 4 hours while maintaining the pH value, and the solid was filtered out.
