Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical chemical synthesis technology, specifically relating to a method for synthesizing furosemide-D5. Background Technology

[0002] Furosemide, also known as furosemide, is a widely used diuretic. It exerts its diuretic effect by inhibiting the reabsorption of Cl- and Na+ in the medullary and cortical portions of the ascending limb of the loop of Henle. Its diuretic effect is rapid and potent, and it is often used in severe cases where other diuretics are ineffective. However, due to significant water and electrolyte loss, it is not suitable for routine use. In cases of drug poisoning, it can be used to accelerate the excretion of toxins. Clinically, it is mainly used to treat cardiac edema, renal edema, ascites due to cirrhosis, peripheral edema caused by functional or vascular disorders, and can also promote the expulsion of upper urinary tract stones.

[0003] Replacing some of the hydrogen atoms (H) in the furosemide drug molecule with its stable isotope deuterium atoms (D) creates a new deuterated drug. This substitution can alter the pharmacokinetic properties of the drug, such as prolonging half-life, reducing toxic side effects, and minimizing the toxicity caused by metabolites. Furosemide-D5 is a deuterated derivative in which five deuterium atoms are introduced at specific positions on the furan ring and amino side chain of the furosemide molecule. It has advantages in pharmacokinetic aspects such as prolonging half-life and reducing metabolites, making it a hot area of ​​research in drug development.

[0004] In clinical medicine, the main methods for detecting furosemide residues include high performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, radioimmunoassay, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. However, these methods have technical problems such as cumbersome pretreatment and significant matrix effects, which have a considerable impact on the test results.

[0005] Isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) uses stable isotope-labeled compounds as internal standards, effectively combining the separation capabilities of chromatography with the qualitative capabilities of mass spectrometry. Accurate quantification is achieved by comparing the ratio of ions with corresponding mass numbers to the ratio of a standard. Simultaneously, it effectively eliminates matrix effects and recovery differences caused by sample pretreatment, thus improving detection accuracy. Therefore, this method is a highly accurate and precise analytical approach.

[0006] Deuterium has almost identical chemical properties to hydrogen, so furosemide-D5 and the original drug furosemide show highly similar chromatographic behavior, extraction efficiency, and ionization efficiency. Due to their different atomic weights (D is heavier than H), furosemide-D5 will be approximately 5 mass units heavier than regular furosemide in a mass spectrometer, making them easily distinguishable. In detection and analysis, furosemide-D5 serves as an essential and irreplaceable internal standard.

[0007] Currently, the conventional methods for synthesizing deuterated aromatic compounds mainly include the following pathways:

[0008] A. Direct deuteration of unsaturated bonds by deuterium (D2) under noble metal catalysis, but this method has poor position selectivity and is difficult to precisely introduce multiple deuterium atoms.

[0009] B. Synthesis using deuterated starting materials such as D2O and CD3OD is costly, and deuterium atoms are easily lost or exchanged in the multi-step reaction, resulting in a decrease in the deuteration rate.

[0010] Therefore, existing synthetic routes for the structurally complex furosemide-D5 often suffer from the following technical problems:

[0011] 1) The route is lengthy, starting from non-deuterated starting materials and involving many steps to introduce deuterium atoms in the later stages, resulting in a low overall yield.

[0012] 2) Low deuteration rate: When using deuteration reagents for simple exchange or reduction, the reaction is incomplete or reverse exchange occurs, making it difficult for the deuteration purity of the final product to meet pharmaceutical grade standards.

[0013] 3) It is costly and overly reliant on expensive deuterated reagents, making it uneconomical for industrial production.

[0014] 4) The operation is complex, involving ultra-low temperature reactions that are sensitive to air or water, such as metallization reactions below -78°C, or requiring the use of highly dangerous deuterium high-pressure equipment, which places extremely high demands on equipment and operation.

[0015] In the synthesis of furosemide-D5, conventional furan synthesis methods such as the Paal-Knorr reaction are not always suitable for this particular substituted furan skeleton that is prone to subsequent functional group transformations.

[0016] In addition, the traditional deuterium exchange method refers to the direct exchange of hydrogen atoms in a compound with a deuterium source such as D2O under the action of a catalyst. This method has inherent difficulties in the synthesis of furosemide-D5: poor selectivity, furosemide molecules contain hydrogen atoms in various chemical environments, such as hydrogen on aromatic rings, amino groups and carboxyl groups. If direct exchange is performed, it is difficult to accurately introduce deuterium atoms at only five specific positions, which easily produces a mixture with uncertain deuteration positions and quantities. At the same time, it is also difficult to meet the analytical standards and serve as an internal standard for analysis and detection, which requires fixed deuteration positions and high deuteration rates.

[0017] Chinese Invention Patent No. 202211743601.2 discloses a method for synthesizing furosemide impurity D with high yield and high purity, comprising the following steps: first, furosemide and furfurylamine are dissolved in a solvent; then an inorganic base and ligand are added, followed by a catalyst, and the mixture is purged with an inert gas; the reaction is heated for a period of time; then two recrystallizations are performed to obtain furosemide impurity D. This patent can obtain a large amount of furosemide impurity D reference standard, which can facilitate the impurity analysis and research of furosemide raw materials and their preparations. However, this patent is a non-deuterated synthesis of furosemide impurity D, focusing on impurity control rather than isotope labeling. Summary of the Invention

[0066] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments:

[0067] Example 1

[0068] A method for synthesizing furosemide-D5, comprising the following steps:

[0069] (1) Dissolve trans-2,3-dibromo-2-buten-1,4-diol in 7.5% sulfuric acid / n-hexane, heat to 70°C, and add potassium dichromate in 25% sulfuric acid solution; after the addition is complete, maintain the reaction at 70°C until complete to obtain 3,4-dibromofuran; the ratio of 7.5% sulfuric acid to n-hexane is 1:1; the mass-volume ratio (g:mL) of potassium dichromate in 25% sulfuric acid solution is 1:5.

[0070] This invention utilizes the oxidative cyclization reaction of potassium dichromate in a two-phase system of sulfuric acid / n-hexane to efficiently construct a dibromofuran core skeleton, while introducing two bromine atoms as directing and protecting groups, converting a chain diol into 3,4-dibromofuran in one step under mild conditions and with high yield.

[0071] The ratio of trans-2,3-dibromo-2-butene-1,4-diol, sulfuric acid / n-hexane solution, and potassium dichromate / sulfuric acid solution by mass and volume is 1:5:3.

[0072] (2) Dissolve 3,4-dibromofuran in tetrahydrofuran, add a strong base (NaH, LDA or NaHMDS) at -78℃, keep for 30 min, add dry ice, and react at -78℃ for 1 h. Quench with water to obtain 3,4-dibromofuran-2-carboxylic acid. Under the action of a strong base, the selective carboxylation reaction in the low-temperature region directly introduces a carboxyl group at the 2 position of the furan ring, which is beneficial for subsequent transformation.

[0073] The ratio of 3,4-dibromofuran, tetrahydrofuran, and dry ice by mass and volume is 1:5:0.1.

[0074] (3) Dissolve 3,4-dibromofuran-2-carboxylic acid in methanol, add concentrated sulfuric acid in a catalytic amount, and reflux for 24 h to obtain methyl 3,4-dibromofuran-2-carboxylic acid;

[0075] The ratio of 3,4-dibromofuran-2-carboxylic acid, methanol, and concentrated sulfuric acid, by mass and volume, is 1:5:0.05.

[0076] (4) Dissolve methyl 3,4-dibromofuran-2-carboxylate in solvent I (DCM, THF or DCE), add Lewis acid (AlCl3 or AlBr3) and bromine or NBS to halogenate to obtain methyl 3,4,5-tribromofuran-2-carboxylate; under Lewis acid activation, introduce a third bromine atom at the 5-position of the carboxylate methyl ester to obtain a tribromo intermediate with high symmetry and easy subsequent deuteration, thus completing the construction of the fully brominated furan skeleton.

[0077] The methyl 3,4-dibromofuran-2-carboxylic acid ester, by mass and volume, has a solvent ratio of 1:5.

[0078] The molar ratio of methyl 3,4-dibromofuran-2-carboxylic acid, Lewis acid, bromine, or NBS is 1:1:1.

[0079] (5) 3,4,5-tribromofuran-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester is dissolved in methanol-D1 (deuterated methanol) and subjected to catalytic deuteration reaction under palladium catalyst (palladium on carbon, palladium hydroxide on carbon) and deuterium gas (D2) to reduce to furanoic acid-D3 methyl ester; this step replaces all three bromine atoms at the 3,4,5-position with deuterium atoms in one step to form furan-D3 ring, while methanol-D1 also deuterates the carboxylic acid methyl ester (CD3) to obtain furanoic acid-D3 methyl ester.

[0080] The mass-volume ratio of methyl 3,4,5-tribromofuran-2-carboxylic acid, methanol-D1, and palladium catalyst is 1:5:0.1. The amount of deuterium gas used is 2 bar.

[0081] Steps (4) and (5) utilize catalytic deuteration to introduce four deuterium atoms in a single, highly selective manner, namely on three rings and one ester group. The source of deuterium atoms is stable and not easily lost, resulting in a high deuteration rate. This reaction sequence avoids the loss or exchange of deuterium atoms introduced in the early stages in subsequent reactions, thus ensuring the deuteration rate.

[0082] (6) Dissolve furanoic acid-D3 methyl ester in tetrahydrofuran, methanol and water, add alkali (sodium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide), and hydrolyze at room temperature for 2 h to obtain furanoic acid-D3;

[0083] The volume ratio of tetrahydrofuran, methanol and water in the mixed solvent is 4:2:1 by mass volume.

[0084] The ratio of furanoic acid-D3 methyl ester to mixed solvent is 1:5 by mass and volume.

[0085] The molar ratio of furanoic acid-D3 methyl ester to base I is 1:1.5.

[0086] (7) Dissolve furanoic acid-D3 in solvent II and condense it with NH4Cl or ammonia to obtain furfurylamide-D3; hydrolyze the deuterated ester to an acid and convert it into an amide.

[0087] The ratio of furanoic acid-D3 to solvent II is 1:5 by mass and volume.

[0088] On a molar basis, furanoic acid-D3:NH4Cl or ammonia = 1:5.

[0089] (8) Dissolve furfuramide-D3 in tetrahydrofuran, add LiAlD4 in batches, heat under reflux for 2-8 hours to obtain furfuramide-D5, cool to room temperature, add dilute hydrochloric acid and stir for 30 minutes to obtain the deuterated amine intermediate furfuramide-D5 hydrochloride;

[0090] Using LiAlD4 as a reducing agent, the carbonyl group of the amide is reduced to a methylene group (CD2), and the last two deuterium atoms are precisely introduced, thus completing the introduction of all five deuterium atoms.

[0091] By mass and volume, furfural-D3:tetrahydrofuran = 1:5.

[0092] On a molar basis, furfural-D3:LiAlD4:dilute hydrochloric acid = 1:2-4:2.

[0093] (9) Furfurylamine-D5 hydrochloride and 2,4-dichloro-5-sulfonamide benzoic acid were dissolved in solvent III (ethylene glycol, acetonitrile or N,N-dimethylformamide), and base II (DIPEA, TEA or K2CO3) was added. The reaction was carried out at 20°C for 8 h. The condensation reaction was completed to obtain furosemide-D5.

[0094] On a molar basis, furfurylamine-D5 hydrochloride : 2,4-dichloro-5-sulfonamide benzoic acid : base II = 1 : 1 : 1;

[0095] By mass and volume, 2,4-dichloro-5-sulfonamide benzoic acid: solvent III = 1:5.
