Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a 2'-modified ribose derivative. Background Art
[0002] The effectiveness of therapeutic RNA delivery outside the liver is a fundamental obstacle to its clinical application. Conjugate-mediated delivery is becoming the main clinical delivery paradigm for siRNA. Among them, targeting the asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) on the surface of hepatocytes is widely used for siRNA / mRNA liver-targeted delivery. In addition, lipids are also the main type of conjugates widely used to improve siRNA delivery, because lipid conjugation increases the plasma half-life and enhances the tissue accumulation and cellular uptake of siRNA.
[0003] Chinese patent CN119213004A discloses lipid monomers for therapeutic delivery of RNA, wherein a 2'-modified ribose derivative compound 6 is disclosed as a novel lipid delivery system for delivering siRNA to tissues other than the liver. The structural formula of the compound 6 is:

[0005] Chinese patent CN116854754A discloses a GalNAc compound containing a ribose ring or its derivative structure and its oligonucleotide conjugate. It discloses combining a 2'-modified ribose derivative with N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) to form a novel GalNAc compound, YK-GAL-305, and using it to prepare a GalNAc oligonucleotide conjugate. The structural formula of YK-GAL-305 is:
[0006]
[0007] All of the above patents use 2'-modified ribose derivatives as raw materials. The existing methods for preparing 2'-modified ribose, such as 2'-methoxy-modified ribose, often use D-ribose as the raw material and undergo a seven-step reaction to obtain the 2'-modified ribose derivative. This method is lengthy and uses strong acids such as sulfuric acid and hydrobromic acid. The 2'-modification also requires a diazotization reagent, which is highly hazardous and difficult to scale up. Other modifications with more complex structures are even more challenging using existing methods.
