Description

Technical Field

[0003] Treprostinil is a drug produced by United Therapeutics and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension.

[0004] Treprostinil is a synthetic analog of prostacyclin (PGI2) indicated for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The main pharmacological mechanism of action of treprostinil is direct vasodilation of the pulmonary and systemic arterial vascular beds and inhibition of platelet aggregation.

[0005] US6700025 discloses a method for stereoselective synthesis of prostaglandin derivatives, in particular treprostinil, however this method and other known methods involve a large number of synthesis steps and chromatographic purification. The object of the present invention is to find a more practical method involving fewer steps and chromatographic purification, as well as highly diastereoselective resolution of key intermediates by enzymatic means, which makes the method more suitable for scale-up.

[0006] In 1985, Aristoff et al. first reported the synthesis of the tricyclic treprostinil, which was constructed through the key intramolecular Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction, but did not involve chiral construction. In 2004, Moriarty et al. reported the construction of the key tricyclic intermediate of treprostinil through the Pauson-Khand reaction. Javier's research group used the same strategy to construct it through continuous flow synthesis. CN101891596B proposed the following path:
