Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of chiral compound separation, and particularly relates to a method for separating biotin enantiomers by using simulated moving bed chromatography. Background Art

[0002] D-biotin, also known as vitamin H, vitamin B7 and coenzyme R, belongs to the B group of water-soluble vitamins. It is an indispensable nutrient for maintaining the normal physiological functions of animal bodies and is widely used in medicine, cosmetics, food additives and feed.

[0003] The widespread use of D-biotin has promoted its synthesis, of which chemical synthesis is relatively mature. However, the biotin obtained by chemical synthesis contains two configurations: D- and L-forms. The current method for resolving D,L-biotin is usually to first react D,L-biotin with an optically active substance to produce diastereomeric derivatives. The derivatives are then separated by appropriate separation methods (crystallization) using the differences in their properties (different solubility in solvents). Finally, the pH of the solution is adjusted to restore the derivatives to the acid. This separation method is cumbersome and involves the use and recovery of derivatizing agents, resulting in high separation costs.

[0004] Patent CN109251210A discloses a method for purifying D-biotin. This method involves dissolving crude D-biotin in a water-low-carbon alcohol mixed solvent under heating, stirring, and reflux. The resulting product is then decolorized with activated carbon and cooled for crystallization. This method does not involve chiral separation of D,L-biotin and is more suitable for recrystallization purification of crude D-biotin.

[0005] The D-biotin purification method disclosed in patent CN101195629B requires recrystallization of D-biotin using a mixed solvent of lower alkyl alcohol and glacial acetic acid to remove impurities. If the D-biotin obtained in this step does not meet the optical rotation requirements, L-arginine is used as a chiral resolving agent and dissolved in a mixture of water and lower alkyl alcohol. Taking advantage of the difference in the properties of D-biotin arginine salt (insoluble in lower alkyl alcohol solutions) and L-biotin arginine salt (soluble in lower alkyl alcohol solutions), D-biotin is precipitated as a solid by freeze crystallization, resulting in a D-biotin yield of 84.7% to 93.2%. This method employs the classic chiral compound resolution method of forming diastereomeric derivatives to resolve D and L-biotin. L-arginine is introduced during the resolution process, resulting in a recovery rate of only 73.2%. This results in cumbersome purification steps and high production costs, and the freeze crystallization process is energy-intensive.

[0006] It can be seen that the existing D, L-biotin enantiomer separation uses the classic method of forming diastereomeric salts, which has cumbersome operation steps and high separation costs after the introduction of derivatization reagents. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for resolving biotin enantiomers using simulated moving bed chromatography. Compared with the classic chiral isomer separation method of forming diastereomeric salts, this method has the advantages of low operating cost and high separation efficiency, and can be operated continuously, making it suitable for industrial production.

[0029] Figure 3 This is a chromatogram of the high-purity D-biotin product obtained in Example 1;

[0030] Figure 4 This is the chromatogram of the low-purity D-biotin product obtained in Example 1. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] Depend on Figure 1 As shown in the schematic diagram of the simulated moving bed chromatography for the separation of biotin enantiomers, the simulated moving bed chromatography is divided into four zones by a feed point (corresponding to the feed liquid flow rate Vf), an eluent input point (corresponding to the eluent flow rate Vd), an extract withdrawal point (corresponding to the extract flow rate Ve), and a raffinate withdrawal point (corresponding to the raffinate flow rate Vr). Each zone has 1 to 8 pillars, wherein zone I is between the eluent input point and the extract withdrawal point, where L-biotin salt is desorbed; zone II is located between the extract withdrawal point and the sample injection point, where L-biotin salt is repeatedly adsorbed, desorbed, and concentrated; and zone II is located between the extract withdrawal point and the sample injection point. Zone I is located between the injection point and the raffinate extraction point, and D-biotin salt solution is obtained in this zone; Zone IV is located between the raffinate extraction point and the eluent input point, separating Zone III from Zone I to prevent D-biotin salt in the raffinate from entering Zone I, while achieving regeneration and recycling of the eluent; a switching time Ts is given, and after Ts time, the feed point, eluent input point, extract extraction point, and raffinate extraction point are respectively switched to the next chromatographic column along the direction of mobile phase flow, and the stationary phase forms a virtual flow in the opposite direction of the mobile phase, thereby achieving a separation effect close to that of real moving bed chromatography.

[0032] Equipment and condition selection

[0033] A simulated moving bed chromatography system was used, consisting of an elution pump, a sample injection pump, an extraction pump, a raffinate pump, a chromatographic column, a pneumatic switching valve, a check valve, and a computer. The sample solution and eluent were injected into the system from the feed and eluent input points, respectively. The two enantiomers of biotin were discharged from the extract and raffinate withdrawal points, respectively. At a predetermined interval, Ts, the feed, eluent input, extract, and raffinate withdrawal points were switched to the next chromatographic column, along the direction of mobile phase flow.

[0034] Selection of column stationary phase and eluent

[0035] Monodisperse reverse phase polymer filler synthesized with polystyrene / divinylbenzene as the matrix.

[0036] The eluent is one of aqueous solutions of NaOH, KOH or LiOH with different concentrations.

[0037] Separation steps

[0038] A. Equal molar amounts of crude D-biotin react with an alkaline solution and dissolve into a salt solution with a concentration of 10-100 mg / mL. The simulated moving bed system consists of 4-32 chromatographic columns. A greater number of columns improves separation efficiency, but also increases system pressure and complexity. The preferred number of columns is 4-8. The entire simulated moving bed system is divided into four zones: the feed point, the eluent input point, the extract withdrawal point, and the raffinate withdrawal point. By controlling the opening and closing of pneumatic switching valves, the feed point, the eluent input point, the extract withdrawal point, and the raffinate withdrawal point are switched to the next chromatographic column along the mobile phase at regular intervals, thereby simulating backward movement of the stationary phase. High-purity D-biotin salt and low-purity D-biotin salt exit the system from the raffinate withdrawal point and the extract withdrawal point, respectively.

[0039] B. The obtained high-purity D-biotin salt product solution is first adjusted to pH 3 with dilute acid and then filtered to obtain a high-purity D-biotin product with a purity of more than 99.90%.
