Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical chemistry, and specifically relates to a synthesis method of omadacycline and application thereof in preparations. Background Art
[0002] Omadacycline, English name: Omadacycline, chemical name: ((4aS,4S,5aR,12aS)-4,7-bis(dimethylamino)-9-{[(2,2-dimethylpropyl)amino]methyl}-3,10,12,12a-tetrahydroxy-1,11-dioxo-1,4,4a,5,5a,6,11,12a-octahydrotetracene-2-carboxamide; (4aS,4S,5aR,12aS)-4,7-bis(dimethylamino)-9-{[(2,2-dimethylpropyl)amino]methyl}-3,10,12,12a-tetrahydroxy-1,11-dioxo-1,4,4a,5,5a,6,11,12a-octahydrotetracene-2-carboxamide. Trade name: NUZYRA. Its chemical structure is as follows: Omadacycline MW:556.66.
[0003] Omadacycline was developed by Paratek and is a new third-generation semi-synthetic tetracycline broad-spectrum antibiotic. On October 2, 2018, the intravenous injection and oral preparations of omadacycline salts were approved for marketing by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They are mainly used in the treatment of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) and acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI).
[0004] Omadacycline has no cross-resistance with other types of antibiotics and has good antibacterial activity against common clinical Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, atypical pathogens, anaerobic bacteria, etc. The mechanism of action of omadacycline is the same as the classical mechanism of tetracycline antibiotics. It specifically binds to the A site of the bacterial ribosome 30S subunit, inhibits the normal binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to this site, causes the termination of peptide chain extension, blocks protein synthesis, and thus produces an antibacterial effect. Under in vitro conditions, the affinity of omadacycline to the ribosome 30S subunit is significantly stronger than that of tetracycline. Studies have found that bacteria can develop resistance to tetracycline drugs using mechanisms such as gene-encoded efflux pumps, ribosomal protection proteins, and modification enzymes. The modified group of C7 of omadacycline helps it overcome the bacterial efflux pump resistance mechanism, and the aminomethyl modification of C9 enables it to overcome the bacterial ribosome protection mechanism, showing effective inhibitory activity against related resistant bacteria.
[0005] The clinical trial results of omadacycline showed the following advantages: 1) a broad antibacterial spectrum; 2) high oral bioavailability, and PK parameters are not affected by age, gender, and liver / kidney function; 3) low gastrointestinal side effects and low risk of interaction with other drugs.
[0006] There are many patent reports on the preparation of omadacycline at home and abroad. The classic synthetic routes reported (US7553828, US2008005452, WO2023047323) are as follows: .
[0007] Omadacycline synthesis uses minocycline hydrochloride as the starting material and is prepared through a three-step reaction. The post-processing purification of omadacycline is currently difficult and requires the use of preparative liquid phases, resulting in a low yield. In addition, the first alkylation reaction involves strong acids such as trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, which are prone to corrode the reactor. Summary of the invention
