Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of polypeptide drug preparation, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing carbetocin in a double-fragment solid-liquid phase. Background Art
[0002] Carbetocin is a synthetic, long-acting oxytocin cyclic nonapeptide analog with agonist properties. It is effective in preventing uterine atony and postpartum hemorrhage. It was developed by Ferring Inc. of Canada and launched in China in 2009. The clinical pharmacological properties of carbetocin are similar to those of oxytocin. Pharmacological research results show that after entering the human body, carbetocin can bind to the oxytocin body of uterine smooth muscle, induce rhythmic contraction of the uterus, and strengthen the contraction frequency and uterine tension on the basis of the original contraction of the uterus, thereby improving the symptoms of postpartum hemorrhage in parturients.
[0003] Studies have shown that, compared with oxytocin, which can only promote the contraction of the upper part of the uterus but has a poor effect on the lower part, carbetocin can have a good contraction effect on the entire uterus. In addition, carbetocin also has the characteristics of long half-life, single administration, long maintenance time, fewer side effects, and better efficacy.
[0004] Carbetocin has the following structure:
[0005] The amino acid abbreviations of carbetocin are: .
[0006] Although the existing liquid phase, solid phase and solid-liquid combined synthesis methods have achieved the synthesis of carbetocin to a certain extent, they generally have problems such as low yield, many by-products, complex operation, expensive catalysts or reagents, which seriously limit large-scale industrial production.
[0007] Chinese patent CN102477082A describes a pure liquid phase synthesis method of carbetocin, which completes the synthesis and coupling of three intermediates under liquid phase conditions, and finally obtains carbetocin through catalyst cyclization under alkaline conditions. However, this method has problems such as low yield, many by-products and complex post-processing, and is not suitable for large-scale production.
[0008] Chinese patent CN102260326A describes a solid-phase preparation method for carbetocin, which uses a new protected amino acid Fmoc-Cys ((CH2)3COOAll), overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art, and uses the same solid-phase coupling reaction as the peptide chain for cyclization. The reaction conditions are mild and the cyclization rate reaches more than 99.5%. However, when removing the All protecting group, Pd[P(C 6 H 5 ) 3 ] 4 Catalyst poisoning will occur with phenylsilane, and heavy metal substances will exist in the product that are difficult to remove, resulting in the actual yield of the product being much lower than the theoretical yield.
[0009] Chinese patent CN102796178A describes a method for preparing carbetocin, which uses a novel sulfhydryl-protected amino acid Fmoc-Cys ((CH 2 ) 3 COOCH 2 CH 2 CN) as a raw material, which is expensive, and Fmoc-Cys ((CH 2 ) 3 COOCH 2 CH 2 CN) protection has many side reactions, which is not conducive to large-scale production.
[0010] European Patent ES 2115543 describes a solid-liquid synthesis method, which mainly uses conventional solid-phase peptide synthesis to obtain linear carbetocin and then cyclizes it under liquid alkaline conditions. However, during the liquid-phase oxidation process, LiOH and NaHCO 3 and DMAP raw materials, which will lead to the generation of many impurities, reducing the purity and use effect of the product. In addition, the method is difficult to form intramolecular sulfide bonds, but disulfide bonds between molecules are very easy to form, resulting in extremely low crude product yield, which is not conducive to industrial production.
