Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical synthesis, and specifically provides a method for selectively synthesizing bedaquiline. Background Art

[0002] Bedaquiline fumarate was developed by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Company and was approved by the US FDA for marketing in December 2012 (trade name Sirturo), and is a drug for treating drug-resistant tuberculosis. The chemical name of bedaquiline fumarate is (1R,2S)-1-(6-bromo-2-methoxyquinolin-3-yl)-4-dimethylamino-2-(1-naphthyl)-1-phenyl-2-butanol fumarate, and its chemical structural formula is shown as follows:

[0003]

[0004] Bedaquiline inhibits the ATP synthase of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, preventing Mycobacterium tuberculosis from using ATP to generate energy, thereby playing an antituberculosis role. This drug has become the first antituberculosis drug with a completely new mechanism of action in the past more than 50 years, and is also the first drug specifically used to treat drug-resistant tuberculosis. The time for its 50% cure rate is 13 weeks, and the time for its 80% cure rate is 6 months. Compared with combination drug use (2-4 drugs), the cure rate of this drug has been greatly improved, and the treatment cycle has been greatly shortened.

[0005] The bedaquiline molecule contains two chiral centers. Therefore, the chemical synthesis of bedaquiline under non-chiral induction conditions will produce four isomers, namely (1R,2S)-1-(6-bromo-2-methoxyquinolin-3-yl)-4-dimethylamino-2-(1-naphthyl)-1-phenyl-2-butanol (A), (1S,2R)-1-(6-bromo-2-methoxyquinolin-3-yl)-4-dimethylamino-2-(1-naphthyl)-1-phenyl-2-butanol (A'), (1R,2R)-1-(6-bromo-2-methoxyquinolin-3-yl)-4-dimethylamino-2-(1-naphthyl)-1-phenyl-2-butanol (B) and (1S,2S)-1-(6-bromo-2-methoxyquinolin-3-yl)-4-dimethylamino-2-(1-naphthyl)-1-phenyl-2-butanol (B'). A and A' have an enantiomeric relationship with each other, and B and B’ have an enantiomeric relationship with each other. A (A') and B (B') have a diastereomeric relationship with each other.

[0006] Among the four isomers, the (1R,2S) isomer (A) has the best inhibitory effect on Mycobacterium tuberculosis (IC 90 value is 0.03) and is the medicinal configuration.

[0007]

[0008] The original research company (US2005148581, CN101180302B) disclosed a synthesis method: First, using p-bromoaniline and phenylpropionyl chloride as raw materials, 6-bromo-3-benzyl-2-methoxyquinoline was obtained through acylation, cyclization, and substitution reactions. Under the action of lithium diisopropylamide, 6-bromo-3-benzyl-2-methoxyquinoline and 3-dimethylamino-1-naphthalen-1-one reacted at low temperature (-72 to -78 °C) to form a mixture of four isomers of bedaquiline. After chiral reagent resolution, (1R,2S)-bedaquiline was obtained, and the yield of the last step was only about 7-9%, and the other three isomers were discarded, resulting in a large amount of material waste.

[0009] The main synthesis steps are as follows:

[0010]

[0011] The synthesis method reported in the original research patent generates four isomers without selectivity and has a low reaction conversion rate, resulting in a very low yield of bedaquiline. Therefore, if we want to significantly improve the yield of bedaquiline, we must increase the reaction conversion rate and selectivity.

[0012] Among them, the selectivity of the reaction can be expressed by the enantiomeric excess (ee) and the ratio of diastereomers (dr). The terms enantiomeric excess and the ratio of diastereomers are well-known to professionals in stereochemistry. The enantiomeric excess can be calculated by the formula ee = ([A] - [A'] / [A] + [A']) * 100%, and the ratio of diastereomers is expressed by the formula dr = ([A] + [A'] / [B] + [B']) * 100%. Summary of the Invention

[0013] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for selectively synthesizing bedaquiline that can significantly improve the reaction conversion rate, aiming to solve the problems of low conversion rate and high production cost of bedaquiline in the prior art.

[0014] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0015] The present invention provides a method for selectively synthesizing bedaquiline, including the following steps:

[0016] Add an alkaline metal lithium salt catalyst, an organic amine, and n-butyllithium to an organic solvent to prepare a mixture, and add 6-bromo-3-benzyl-2-methoxyquinoline (1) and 3-dimethylamino-1-naphthalen-1-one (2) to the mixture for reaction to obtain the product (3). The reaction formula is as follows:

[0017]

[0018] The basic metal lithium salt catalyst is selected from one or more combinations of lithium methoxide, lithium ethoxide, lithium hydroxide, lithium sulfate, lithium carbonate, lithium phosphate, C 1-12 alkyl carboxylate lithium and C 1-12 alkoxy lithium, preferably one of lithium methoxide, lithium ethoxide, tert-butyl lithium, lithium hydroxide, lithium carbonate, and lithium phosphate.

[0019] Furthermore, the reaction temperature is -40 to -80 °C.

[0020] Furthermore, the preparation method of the mixed solution includes: adding the basic metal lithium salt catalyst to the organic solvent, and then adding the organic amine and n-butyllithium under nitrogen protection and at a low temperature of -40 to -80 °C to prepare an organic amine lithium salt.

[0021] Furthermore, a solution of 6-bromo-3-benzyl-2-methoxyquinoline (1) is added dropwise to the mixture, and then a solution of 3-dimethylamino-1-naphthalen-1-yl-propan-1-one (2) is added.

[0022] Furthermore, the organic amine is one of piperidine, pyrrolidine, diisopropylamine, diethylamine, dimethylamine, and morpholine.

[0023] Furthermore, the solvent is one of tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, methyltetrahydrofuran, toluene, dioxane, dimethyldiethylether, diethyldiethylether, and methyl tert-butyl ether, preferably one of tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, methyltetrahydrofuran, and toluene.

[0024] Furthermore, the dosage of the organic amine is 0.5 to 2 equivalents of 6-bromo-3-benzyl-2-methoxyquinoline (1).

[0025] Furthermore, the dosage of the basic metal lithium salt catalyst is 1 to 3 equivalents of 6-bromo-3-benzyl-2-methoxyquinoline (1).

[0026] The preparation method of bedaquiline in this scheme includes the following steps:

[0027] (1) Adding a basic metal lithium salt catalyst to an organic solvent, and then adding an organic amine and n-butyllithium under nitrogen protection and at a low temperature of -40 to -80 °C to prepare an organic amine lithium salt;

[0028] (2) Adding dropwise a solution of 6-bromo-3-benzyl-2-methoxyquinoline to obtain the corresponding diarylmethyllithium complex;

[0029] (3) Subsequently, adding a solution of 3-dimethylamino-1-naphthalen-1-yl-propan-1-one to generate a mixture of 4 isomers (A and A'; B and B'), where the required isomers A and A' are the main products;

[0030] (4) After the reaction is completed, the organic phase is concentrated under reduced pressure to dryness, slurried with ethanol to obtain the crude bedaquiline, and the crude product is purified by a resolution method to obtain bedaquiline with high optical purity and chemical purity, which can be used to prepare bedaquiline fumarate.

[0031] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0032] 1. After using an alkaline metal lithium salt catalyst such as lithium hydroxide, the diastereoselectivity and conversion rate of the reaction are significantly improved (dr = 8:1, conversion rate is 86%); without adding lithium hydroxide, the dr of the reaction is 1.2:1 and the conversion rate is 50%. In contrast, there are fewer diastereoisomers in the reaction solution, and after simple washing, it can be directly subjected to resolution treatment, ultimately resulting in a higher overall yield of bedaquiline.

[0033] 2. The alkaline metal lithium salt catalyst such as lithium hydroxide is commercially available and inexpensive, and significantly improves the reaction effect, making it suitable for large-scale industrial production.

[0034] Other advantages, objectives, and features of the present invention will be described to some extent in the subsequent specification, and to some extent, will be obvious to those skilled in the art based on the examination and research of the following text, or can be taught from the practice of the present invention.
