Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of vaccine adjuvant synthesis, and in particular to a method for synthesizing vaccine adjuvant Sulfavant A. Background Art
[0002] Vaccine adjuvants are important ingredients that enhance the immunogenicity of vaccines and improve the protective effects of vaccines. Traditional vaccine adjuvants such as aluminum salts and emulsifiers have certain limitations, which may cause adverse reactions and affect the stability of vaccines. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop new, safe and efficient vaccine adjuvants.
[0003] Sulfonylquinol diacylglycerol (SQDG) is composed of a sulfonylquinol sugar head group, two fatty acid chains and a glycerol backbone. It has a unique chemical structure and biological activity. The structural formula is as follows: .
[0004] Studies have shown that SQDG plays an important role in the defense against pathogens. In plants, when invaded by pathogens, the SQDG content or structure on the cell membrane may change, which may activate the plant's defense mechanism, such as inducing the expression of defense-related genes and synthesizing anti-pathogen substances. Therefore, SQDG has broad potential application value and market prospects in the fields of medicinal chemistry and vaccine technology. However, it is difficult to separate and purify SQDG from natural sources, and the unavailability of chemical standards on the market limits its application. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop an effective method for the chemical synthesis of SQDG.
[0005] 1) Patent application document 1: WO2022 / 034429 A1 discloses a synthetic route of sulfoquinolose-diacylglycerol Sulfavant A: This method has the following defects: a) After each step of the experimental reaction, silica gel column chromatography is required for separation and purification, which will inevitably waste a lot of time and cause waste of experimental products, resulting in a low overall yield; b) Preparation of Compound 4 to Compound 5, Compound 6 to Compound 7. These two steps of reaction are often incomplete and produce a large number of by-products, which affect the synthesis of Compound 5 and Compound 7 and result in a low yield; c) 2-Butanone is used in the synthesis of compound 8. This reagent is relatively dangerous and requires extreme caution when handling.
[0006] 2) Patent application document 2: CN117164649A discloses a synthetic route of sulfoquinolose-diacylglycerol Sulfavant A: This method has the following defects: a) After each step of the experimental reaction, silica gel column chromatography is required for separation and purification, which will inevitably waste a lot of time and cause waste of experimental products, resulting in a low overall yield; b) In the preparation of compound 4 to compound 5 and compound 5 to compound 6, expensive metal reagents such as titanium tetrabromide and silver trifluoromethanesulfonate were used, which increased the material cost.
[0007] In summary, in the existing process for preparing Sulfavant A, there are problems such as selective protection and selective removal of protective functional groups, all intermediate products need to be separated and purified by silica gel column chromatography, and some reagents used are expensive and dangerous, resulting in a long production process and a low total yield of the experiment. Therefore, it can only be applied to gram or kilogram production and cannot be applied to large-scale industrial production. Summary of the invention
