TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of pharmaceutical chemistry, and in particular to a method for preparing 1-N-ethylkanamycin C1a sulfate impurity 1-N-ethylsinnomycin. BACKGROUND
[0002] 1-N-ethylkanamycin C1a sulfate is suitable for various infections caused by Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Serratia, Oxydactylon, Enterobacter, Acinetobacter, Proteus, Haemophilus influenzae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus, etc. Clinical studies show that the product has good efficacy on the following infections: respiratory tract infections (such as acute bronchitis, acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, community-acquired pneumonia, etc.), kidney and urogenital system infections (such as acute pyelonephritis, cystitis, acute exacerbation of chronic pyelonephritis or chronic cystitis, etc.), skin and soft tissue and other infections (such as skin and soft tissue infections, post-traumatic, post-traumatic and postoperative infections, and other sensitive bacterial infections).
[0003] 1-N-ethylsinnomycin is one of the main impurities in 1-N-ethylkanamycin C1a sulfate raw material drugs and finished product preparations, and the structure of the impurity is as follows: .
[0004] In the detection of 1-N-ethylkanamycin C1a sulfate, the reference substance of the impurity is necessary, but there is no standard product available on the market at present, so the present application aims to explore the optimal and convenient method for preparing the reference substance.
[0005] Regarding the synthesis method of 1-N-ethylsinnomycin, Chinese patent document CN110066304A (application number 201910442380.7) discloses a synthesis method of 1-N-ethylsinnomycin, which takes triacetyl sinnomycin (3,2",6"-N,N,N-triacetylkanamycin C2b in the text) as the starting material, first acetylates the hydroxyl group, then performs N-ethylation reaction with acetaldehyde and potassium borohydride, and finally removes the protecting group with sodium hydroxide solution to obtain the product.
[0006] In the above method, the exposed 1-amino group is more active when the hydroxyl group is acetylated, and will be acetylated at the same time, resulting in more by-products, thereby affecting the purity and yield of the final product 1-N-ethylsinnomycin.
[0007] In addition to the above patent document, the prior art also uses the route of first protecting the hydroxyl group, then performing N-ethylation reaction, and finally removing the protecting group when preparing N-ethylkanamycin C1a. For example, CN101928312B and CN110372760A. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is a method for preparing 1-N-ethylnomycin with high reaction selectivity, high yield and short route.
[0009] The technical solution for achieving the objective of this invention is a method for preparing 1-N-ethylnomycin, comprising the following steps: ① Dissolve 3,2'',6''-N,N,N-triacetylpyridinium in dichloromethane in a reaction flask, cool to -20℃~-5℃, and slowly add acetaldehyde solution dropwise to the reaction flask at this temperature. After the addition is complete, react at -20℃~-5℃ to obtain the imine compound shown in formula (II); .
[0010] ② Add potassium borohydride to the reaction solution obtained in step ①, stir for 0.5 to 1 hour, add boric acid to slow down, and continue stirring for 0.5 to 1 hour; .
[0011] ③ For the reaction solution obtained in step ②, concentrate the reaction solution to dryness under reduced pressure, add sodium hydroxide solution, heat under reflux for 18h to 48h, cool to below 35℃, and adjust the pH to 10 to 11 with sulfuric acid solution; .
[0012] ④ For the reaction solution obtained in step ③, dilute with reverse osmosis water, then pass it into a chromatography column. First, rinse with purified water, then elute with sulfuric acid. Collect the portion with a content of ≥90%, combine and concentrate to obtain the product.
[0013] Furthermore, in step ① above, the mass ratio of 3,2'',6''-N,N,N-triacetylpyridinium to acetaldehyde is 1:0.15 to 0.3.
[0014] Furthermore, in step ① above, 10% to 30% acetaldehyde aqueous solution is added dropwise to the reaction flask over 2 to 4 hours. After the addition is complete, the reaction is carried out at -20°C to -5°C for 1 to 4 hours.
[0015] Furthermore, in step ② above, the mass ratio of potassium borohydride to 3,2'',6''-N,N,N-triacetylpyridinium bromide is 0.14 to 0.2:1.
[0016] Optionally, in step ③ above, the concentration of the added sodium hydroxide solution is 20% to 30%.
[0017] Alternatively, in step ③ above, the pH value can be adjusted using a 2M to 8M sulfuric acid solution.
[0018] Furthermore, in step ④, the reaction solution obtained in step ② is diluted with reverse osmosis water to adjust the optical rotation value of the solution to 5-10.
[0019] Optionally, in step ④, the packing material in the chromatography column is a macroporous adsorption resin.
[0020] Alternatively, in step ④, the sample is rinsed with purified water for 8–15 hours.
[0021] Optionally, in step ④, the sulfuric acid is an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid with a pH value of 1.6 to 3.0.
[0022] This invention offers several advantages: Using triacetylpyrazine as the starting material, it omits the acetylation step for protecting the hydroxyl group and directly performs N-ethylation at the 1-position of triacetylpyrazine. By controlling the temperature, concentration, and dropping rate of acetaldehyde during addition, as well as the reaction temperature, the 1-N-ethylation reaction is directed, avoiding the loss caused by the 1-amino group reaction in the hydroxyl acetylation step. This not only saves reaction steps but also improves the yield. According to the preparation method of this invention, the purity of 1-N-ethylpyrazine can reach 99%, with a yield of 90%, making it a preparation method with a short route and high yield.
