Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polypeptide synthesis technology, and more specifically, to a method for preparing ganirielic acetate from N,N'-diethylformamidinium iodide. Background Technology

[0002] Ganirellix Acetate is a synthetic decapeptide gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist whose chemical structure contains the specially modified amino acid residue D-HomoArg(Et)2. 6 and HomoArg(Et)2 8 This drug competitively binds to pituitary GnRH receptors, rapidly and reversibly inhibiting the secretion of gonadotropins, and is widely used in controlled ovulation induction therapy (antagonist regimen) in assisted reproductive technologies.

[0003] Sequence: Ac-D-2-Nal 1 -D-Phe(4-Cl) 2 -D-3-Pal 3 -Ser 4 -Tyr 5 -D-HomoArg(Et)2 6 -Leu 7 -HomoArg(Et)2 8 -Pro 9 -D-Ala-NH2 10 structure: Currently, the synthesis of ganirilac acetate mainly faces the technical challenge of introducing specific amino acid residues. Existing methods can be divided into two categories: Direct use of Fmoc-protected HomoArg(Et)2 amino acids: Due to the lack of effective protection of the guanidino groups of Fmoc-HomoArg(Et)2-OH and Fmoc-D-HomoArg(Et)2-OH, side reactions (such as acylation) are prone to occur during solid-phase synthesis, resulting in a decrease in crude peptide purity and difficulty in purification. Moreover, the raw material is expensive, which greatly increases the production cost.

[0004] Post-modification strategy: First, introduce conventional lysine (Lys), then modify the side chain amino group with guanidinolation. Existing patents (such as CN104231055A and CN113929751A) have reported the use of reagents such as ethylaminoethyliminomethanesulfonic acid and ethylaminoethylimino-1H-pyrazole for modification, but the commercial supply of these reagents is insufficient to meet the needs of industrial production. In addition, CN104017058A uses an N,N'-diethylcarbodiimide and ytterbium trifluoroacetate system, but the introduction of the heavy metal ytterbium increases the risk of quality control problems.

[0005] In summary, the existing technology has the following drawbacks: Poor availability of raw materials: The lack of commercially available sources for special modification reagents restricts large-scale production; High process complexity: Some methods involve toxic metals or unstable intermediates, increasing operational risks; Low cost-effectiveness: Direct use of Fmoc-HomoArg(Et)2-OH makes it difficult to balance yield and purity.

[0006] Therefore, developing a method for preparing ganirielk based on inexpensive and readily available reagents, compatible with solid-phase synthesis processes, and without the involvement of heavy metals is of great significance for promoting its industrial production. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing ganirielic acetate from N,N'-diethylformamidinium iodide, which has the characteristics of high reaction selectivity, short process flow, high product purity and low production cost, and is suitable for large-scale industrial production, providing a reliable and economical new route for the synthesis of ganirielic acetate.

[0008] A method for preparing ganirilac acetate from N,N'-diethylformamidinium iodide includes the following steps: S1. Use amino resin Rink amide AM Resin or Rink amide MBHA Resin with a substitution degree of 0.3~1.5 mmol / g as the starting resin. The amino resin needs to be swollen with DMF solution for 50-70 minutes, and then protected with 20% Pip / DMF solution for 20-40 minutes. Wash and filter to obtain the resin to be reacted. S2. Obtain the ganirilac peptide resin precursor by stepwise coupling via Fmoc solid-phase method: Dissolve Fmoc-D-Ala-OH and HOBt in DMF and cool to 0-15℃. Then, slowly add DIC to the DMF solution while stirring. The molar ratio of Fmoc-D-Ala-OH, HOBt, and DIC is 1:1-2:1-2, and the volume ratio of DMF to Fmoc-D-Ala-OH is 1-2:1. Stir and react at 0-15℃ for 10-20 minutes to obtain an activated Fmoc-D-Ala solution. Add all of this solution to the resin to be reacted in step S1 and couple at 25-35℃ for 120-300 minutes. Filter and wash to obtain Fmoc-D-Ala-amino resin. Use the same method as above to sequentially couple... Protected amino acids Fmoc-Pro-OH, Fmoc-Lys(X)-OH, Fmoc-Leu-OH, Fmoc-D-Lys(X)-OH, Fmoc-Tyr(tBu)-OH, Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-OH, Fmoc-D-3-Pal-OH, Fmoc-D-Phe(4-Cl)-OH, and Fmoc-D-2-Nal-OH were introduced. After incorporation, the resin was protected with 20% Pip / DMF solution for 30 min. The amount of 20% Pip / DMF solution used was 8-20 mL / g of resin. After washing and filtration, the resin to be acetylated was obtained. An acetylation reagent was added, and the reaction was carried out at 20-30℃ for 20-40 min. After washing and filtration, the ganirilac peptide resin precursor Ac-D-2-Nal was obtained. 1 -D-Phe(4-Cl) 2 -D-3-Pal 3 -Ser(tBu) 4 -Tyr(tBu) 5 -D-Lys(X) 6 -Leu 7 -Lys(X) 8 -Pro 9 -D-Ala 10 -Amino resin, wherein X = one of Mmt, Mtt, Alloc, Dde, ivDde; S3, Selective removal of D-Lys 6 and Lys 8 The side chain protecting group X; S3.1 If X is Mmt or Mtt, use 0.5~5% TFA / DCM solution for deprotection, and the amount of deprotection reagent is 6-12 mL / g resin; S3.2 If X is Alloc, deprotection is performed using a DCM solution of 0.1 eq tetraphenylphosphine palladium / 10 eq benzenesilane (eq is based on the amount of amino resin as the reference equivalent), and the amount of deprotection reagent used is 6-12 mL / g resin. S3.3 If X is Dde or ivDde, use 1%~4% hydrazine / DMF solution for deprotection, and the amount of deprotection reagent is 6-12 mL / g resin; S4. Diethylthiourea, triphenylphosphine, iodine and triethylamine are dissolved in DCM in proportion and reacted at 0~10℃ for 10~30 minutes to generate N,N'-diethylformamidinium iodide solution; S5. Mix the resin obtained in step S3 with the N,N'-diethylformamidine iodide solution obtained in step S4, place it in a nitrogen atmosphere, and react at 20~35℃ for 1~3 hours to complete the guanidinization reaction and obtain ganirilactide resin. S6. Using a TFA / TIS / EDT / H2O mixed solution as the lysis reagent, the mixture was lysed at 20~30℃ for 2~4 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered using a sintered funnel, and the filtrate was collected. The resin was washed three times with a small amount of TFA. The filtrates were combined and MTBE was added to precipitate the resin. The precipitate was then washed three times with MTBE and dried to obtain crude ganirilac peptide. S7. The crude peptide was added to water and stirred until completely dissolved. Then it was filtered through a 0.45 μm mixed microporous membrane. The filtrate was purified by reverse-phase preparative chromatography, converted to acetate, and freeze-dried to obtain pure ganirilac acetate.

[0009] Preferably, in step S1, the amount of DMF solution used is 8-12 mL / g resin, and the amount of 20% Pip / DMF solution used is 10-14 mL / g resin.

[0010] Preferably, in step S2, the acetylation reagent is a DMF solution of acetic anhydride and DIEA, with a volume ratio of acetic anhydride, DIEA, and DMF of 3~7:3~7:94~86, preferably acetic anhydride / DIEA / DMF of 5:5:90, and the amount of acetylation reagent used is 2~5 ml / gram of resin.

[0011] Preferably, in step S4, diethylthiourea, triphenylphosphine, iodine and triethylamine are dissolved in DCM in a molar ratio of 1:1~3:1~3:1~2, preferably ethylthiourea, triphenylphosphine, iodine and triethylamine = 1:1:1:1, and the volume ratio of DCM to diethylthiourea is 0.5~3.0:1.

[0012] Preferably, in step S5, the amount of N,N'-diethylformamidinium iodide solution used is 3~10 ml / g resin.

[0013] Preferably, the volume ratio of the TFA / TIS / EDT / H2O mixed solution in step S6 is 85~95:1~5:1~5:1~5, and more preferably TFA / TIS / EDT / H2O=90:5:2.5:2.5, with a dosage of 5~10mL / gram of resin.

[0014] Preferably, the amount of water used in step S7 is 40~60 ml / gram of crude peptide.

[0015] Preferably, the purity of the acetic acid ganirielic acid is ≥99.0%, and the maximum single impurity is ≤0.1%.

[0016] An intermediate for the preparation of ganirilac acetate as described in claim 1, having the structure Ac-D-2-Nal 1 -D-Phe(4-Cl) 2 -D-3-Pal 3 -Ser(tBu) 4 -Tyr(tBu) 5 -D-Lys(X) 6 -Leu 7 -Lys(X) 8 -Pro 9 -D-Ala 10 -Amino resin, wherein X = one of Mmt, Mtt, Alloc, Dde, ivDde.

[0017] Through these two reaction steps, D-Lys is efficiently and rapidly converted into D-Lys 6 and Lys 8 Transformed into D-HomoArg(Et)2 6 and HomoArg(Et)2 8 At the same time, it leverages the advantages of solid-phase peptide synthesis technology in the field of separation and purification, greatly improving reaction efficiency.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this invention are: (1) High purity and low impurities The core innovation of this invention lies in using N,N'-diethylformamidinium iodide as a key active intermediate for guanidinolation modification. This reagent exhibits high reaction selectivity, modifying only the lysine side chain amino group (-NH2), thus avoiding the acylation side reactions caused by insufficient guanidinolation protection in traditional methods. Experimental data show that the crude peptide purity can reach 90.05%, the final product purity is ≥99.0%, and the maximum single impurity is ≤0.1%, significantly superior to the route using Fmoc-HomoArg(Et)2-OH (crude peptide purity is only 83.14%, accompanied by 4.55% acylation impurities).

[0019] (2) High efficiency reaction and short process By generating N,N'-diethylformamidinium iodide in situ, this invention enables guanidinolation reactions to be completed under mild conditions (20-35°C) in just 1-3 hours, whereas traditional methods (such as the carbodiimide / ytterbium system) require high temperatures and long reaction times (>50°C, 6-12 hours). Furthermore, this reagent seamlessly integrates with the solid-phase synthesis process, directly modifying the resin and eliminating the complex purification steps of liquid-phase reactions, thus increasing the overall yield to ≥45% (compared to the low yield problem of traditional methods).

[0020] (3) Raw materials are readily available and cost advantage All raw materials (diethylthiourea, triphenylphosphine, iodine, etc.) are commercially available and inexpensive reagents, avoiding the supply difficulties of custom-modified reagents (such as ethylaminoethyliminomethanesulfonic acid) in existing technologies. At the same time, there is no need to use expensive heavy metal catalysts (such as ytterbium trifluoroacetate), which reduces production costs and meets the impurity control requirements for pharmaceutical production (ICH Q3D).

[0021] (4) Process robustness and scalability This invention employs mature Fmoc solid-phase synthesis technology, combined with optimized protecting group strategies (such as selective removal of Dde / Mtt), to ensure a stable and controllable reaction process. Examples show that this process can be successfully scaled up to a hundred-gram scale (e.g., using 552g of resin in Example 9), with consistent product quality, meeting the requirements of industrial production.

[0022] (5) Green and safety features The entire process involves no heavy metals, and the EDT (ethylene dithiol) in the pyrolysis solution effectively inhibits oxidation side reactions and reduces the generation of toxic waste. Compared with existing technologies, this method is more in line with green chemistry principles and reduces safety risks during production. Attached Figure Description
