Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a process for preparing D-penicillamine using acidic cationic resin. BACKGROUND
[0002] The chemical structure of D-penicillamine is as follows:
[0003]
[0004] D-penicillamine is clinically used for heavy metal detoxification, rheumatoid arthritis, hepatolenticular degeneration, cystinuria, stones, hypertension, and as an immunosuppressant. D-penicillamine can be used as a raw material, and can also be used as an intermediate of a raw material, further processed into a penicillamine derivative or prepared into L-penicillamine.
[0005] The industrial production of D-penicillamine generally adopts the method of degrading penicillin, and most of the post-treatment needs a separate step of removing potassium or sodium, which increases the operation process, which can cause air to enter, oxidize the product to generate more dithiopencillamine impurities, thereby increasing the risk of product quality decline. Because the molecular structure of D-penicillamine contains carboxyl, amino and sulfhydryl groups, it is easy to oxidize and couple sulfhydryl groups in the reaction and post-treatment process, and generate impurities such as dithiopencillamine and decarboxylation. There is also a risk of further oxidation and reaction to generate penicillamine sulfonic acid derivative impurities.
[0006] Xu Suzhen (Antibiotics, 1982, 7(5): 338-339) used penicillin potassium salt and hydrazine hydrate to react in the presence of hydrochloric acid, and then removed the by-product by filtration. Then hydrochloric acid was added to obtain penicillamine hydrochloride, and then triethylamine was used to neutralize and remove hydrogen chloride to obtain the target penicillamine, but the yield and content were low.
[0007] In CN108164444 A, a similar method was used to obtain penicillamine, and a different acid system (concentrated hydrochloric acid, dilute trifluoroacetic acid solution or phosphoric acid solution, etc.) was used to remove potassium salt, and a noble metal catalyst was also used to reduce dithiopencillamine impurities, thereby obtaining penicillamine with high purity.
[0008] Zhang Qianying (Journal of Shanghai University, 2002, 8(5): 456-458) used penicillin potassium salt and aniline to react, and used glacial acetic acid to remove potassium salt. The post-treatment method is similar to the above method, and the steps are more and the operation is more complicated, which increases the operation risk.
[0009] As described above, the prior art for preparing D-penicillamine has the following disadvantages: multiple preparation and post-treatment steps, complicated operation, easy to cause oxidation side reactions, more impurities generated, by-products and impurities difficult to remove, low product content, etc. SUMMARY
[0010] The application aims to overcome the problems in the prior art that inorganic acid is used to remove inorganic salt, and then base is used to neutralize penicillamine-inorganic acid salt to prepare D-penicillamine, so that the operation steps are increased, and the risk of generating disulfide penicillamine impurities by oxidizing penicillamine is increased. The application provides a preparation method of D-penicillamine. The preparation method has high yield, high content, low impurities, simple operation, less pollution, low cost, short production cycle and is suitable for industrial production.
