Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical synthesis, specifically to topiramate and its intermediates as a treatment for gout. and intermediates Preparation method of . Background Technology

[0002] Topiroxostat (chemical name: 4-[5-(4-pyridyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl]pyridine-2-cyano), developed by Fuji Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. of Japan, was approved by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in August 2013 and launched in Japan for the first time. Topiroxostat is a novel non-purine selective xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) inhibitor, primarily used to treat gout and hyperuricemia. It effectively lowers blood uric acid levels by inhibiting xanthine oxidase activity, thereby reducing uric acid production. Compared to traditional purine inhibitors such as allopurinol, topiroxostat has higher selectivity and better safety because it does not inhibit other purine / pyrimidine metabolic enzymes and has no adverse effects on the cardiovascular system.

[0003] In 2013, Fuji Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. of Japan disclosed a method for preparing topiramate in a Chinese patent application with publication number CN104411686B. The reaction formula is as follows:

[0004]

[0005] In this patent, 4-cyanopyridine N-oxide (2) is reacted with isoniazid in the presence of an alkali metal alkoxide to obtain compound (3), which is then cyanided in the presence of a cyaniding agent to obtain compound (4), and finally cyclically closed under the action of an acid catalyst to obtain the target molecule. Compound (3) generates many impurities during the cyanidation process, which is detrimental to the subsequent purification of the product, leading to a decrease in product yield during purification.

[0006] In 2014, the Shanghai Institute of Pharmaceutical Industry filed an invention patent in China with publication number CN105348264B, disclosing a method for preparing topiramate, the reaction formula of which is as follows:

[0007]

[0008] This patent describes a process involving the oxidation of isonicotinic acid methyl ester to obtain compound III, followed by hydrazolysis of compound III to obtain compound IV. Compound IV then reacts with 4-cyanopyridine under alkaline conditions to obtain compound VI, which is then cyano-treated to obtain compound VII. Finally, cyclization under acidic conditions yields topiramate. However, the synthesis of compound IV requires the hydrazolysis of compound III at 60°C under nitrogen protection; secondly, the cyanation reaction of compound VI generates numerous impurities, hindering the purification of subsequent products; and finally, the synthetic route is lengthy, resulting in a long production cycle and an overall yield of only 55%, leading to high final product costs.

[0009] In 2021, Zhai Hong filed a Chinese patent application with publication number CN113173916A, which disclosed a method for preparing topiramate, the reaction formula of which is as follows:

[0010]

[0011] This patent describes a process where 4-cyanopyridine is catalytically reacted with hydrazine hydrate in an alcohol to obtain intermediate 1. Isonicotinic acid is then oxidized in hydrogen peroxide to obtain intermediate 2. Intermediates 1 and 2 undergo a condensation reaction to obtain intermediate 3. A cyano group is added to intermediate 3 to obtain intermediate 4. Intermediate 4 is then ring-closed to obtain topiramate. The cyanation reaction of intermediate 3 generates numerous impurities, which is detrimental to the purification of the subsequent product.

[0012] The aforementioned patents basically employ similar reaction mechanisms, first cyano-forming, then ring-closing to obtain topiramate. During the cyanation process of the intermediate before ring closing, a large number of impurities are generated, and the later products need to undergo multiple purification processes to obtain qualified topiramate with a loss of yield.
