Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medicines and relates to a method for preparing a perospirone hydrochloride intermediate. Background Art
[0002] Perospirone hydrochloride tablets were developed by Sumitomo Corporation of Japan and approved by the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) of Japan on December 22, 2000. They are marketed by Sumitomo Corporation of Japan under the trade name Lullan. Perospirone hydrochloride is an atypical antipsychotic that exerts its therapeutic effects by affecting dopamine metabolic pathways and blocking dopamine-2 and 5-HT2 receptors. It is effective for behavioral abnormalities caused by dopamine and serotonin systems. Clinical studies have shown that perospirone is effective for various problematic behaviors caused by hyperactivity of the dopaminergic nervous system and significantly improves negative symptoms and mood disorders that are resistant to traditional antipsychotics. It is widely used in the clinical treatment of schizophrenia. Compared with haloperidol, perospirone hydrochloride has stronger selectivity for the striatum, is less likely to cause extrapyramidal reactions, or causes fewer extrapyramidal side effects, and has better selectivity, clinical safety, and efficacy.
[0003] The preparation of perospirone hydrochloride involves the reaction of cis-hexahydrophthalimide with 1,4-dibromobutane to produce the intermediate cis-N-4-bromobutyl-hexahydrophthalimide. In this reaction, the molar ratio of 1,4-dibromobutane (mutagen): cis-hexahydrophthalimide is greater than 5 to avoid the formation of disubstituted byproducts. However, the large-scale use of 1,4-dibromobutane (mutagen) can affect the health of operators and compromise product purity and safety. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new method for preparing perospirone hydrochloride to improve its purity and yield while effectively controlling the safety limit of 1,4-dibromobutane.
[0004] CN115873005A discloses a method for preparing 8-(benzisothiazol-3-yl)-5,8-diazaspiro[4,5]decane-5-ammonium bromide. After the reaction is completed, the reaction is filtered hot and the filtrate is concentrated. After concentration, the reaction is crystallized and filtered again. The resulting solid needs to be stirred with solvents such as 1,2-dichloroethane, filtered again, and dried to obtain the intermediate. The operation is complex, many types of organic solvents are required, the amount used is large, and the production cycle is long. Summary of the Invention
