Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of compound crystallization and purification technology, specifically to a method and application for the recovery of crude and finished saxagliptin. Background Technology
[0002] Saxagliptin was jointly developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb and AstraZeneca. This drug regulates blood glucose by selectively inhibiting DPP-4, thereby increasing the levels of endogenous glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP). Saxagliptin has high raw material costs. Currently, approximately 15% of saxagliptin is lost in the mother liquor during the synthesis process, resulting in low yield and poor material utilization. This invention aims to develop a saxagliptin mother liquor concentration and purification process that can improve the yield, increase material utilization, and reduce raw material costs. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a method for recovering crude and finished saxagliptin. The crude solid obtained using this method has a higher quality than that obtained directly, saving costs and improving raw material utilization efficiency.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A method for recovering crude and finished saxagliptin includes the following steps: (1) Combine crude saxagliptin and the finished mother liquor, concentrate under reduced pressure to a certain volume, cool down to crystallize, filter and dry to obtain crude saxagliptin solid with low purity.
[0006] The crude saxagliptin obtained in this step has a maximum single impurity of ≥0.2% and a total impurity of ≥5.0%, which is far greater than the quality standard requirements for crude products (maximum single impurity ≤0.10%, total impurity ≤0.7%).
[0007] (2) Add the crude saxagliptin solid obtained in step (1), the reaction solvent, and concentrated hydrochloric acid to the reaction vessel, raise the temperature until the solution is clear, and react for a certain time.
[0008] (3) Add purified water to the reaction vessel, cool down, add extraction solvent, stir and let stand, remove the organic phase after separation; add extraction solvent to the aqueous phase, stir and let stand, remove the organic phase after separation.
[0009] Adding hydrochloric acid in the above two steps causes the crude product to form salt, and a small amount of impurities to form salt. The impurities are then removed by extracting them with an organic phase, which can improve the purity of the crude product.
[0010] (4) Add isopropanol and dichloromethane to the water layer, add sodium hydroxide solution and stir slowly, then add 25% potassium carbonate aqueous solution, adjust the pH to 9.0-9.5, stir and let stand, separate into layers, collect the organic phase to the desolventing vessel, concentrate it to a certain volume, add dichloromethane to desolvent and remove water until the water content is less than 0.10%.
[0011] In this step, water is evaporated using dichloromethane solvent, and the moisture content of the organic phase is strictly controlled to be ≤0.10%, which is much lower than the free water content in the organic phase, thus reducing the impact of free water on the hydration and impurity removal process.
[0012] (5) Add purified water dropwise in three parts. After the addition is complete, add the first desolvation solution for the first desolvation treatment. After the desolvation is complete, add the second desolvation solution for the second desolvation treatment. After the desolvation is complete, add water dropwise again to cool down and stir to precipitate crystals. Filter and dry to obtain the product.
[0013] In this step, by limiting the amount and time of adding purified water in three separate drops, saxagliptin is combined with water to form saxagliptin hydrate. Saxagliptin hydrate has low solubility in the organic phase system and is easy to precipitate. Since impurities cannot be hydrated, the impurities are dissolved in the organic phase as much as possible, thus achieving purification. This can reduce the total impurities from about 5.0% to about 0.10%.
[0014] In this step, the solvents of the first and second desolvation solutions are also used for evaporation. The desolvation solution with slightly higher solubility for impurities and lower solubility for materials is selected for solvent replacement, thereby further improving the purity of the recovered materials and reducing the total impurity content to below 0.05%.
[0015] As a preferred embodiment, in step (1), the volume of saxagliptin is concentrated to 1% to 5% of the original volume under reduced pressure at 30 to 50°C and vacuum degree ≤ -0.085MPa, then cooled to -10 to 0°C for crystallization, filtered and dried to obtain crude solid saxagliptin with low purity.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, in step (2), the reaction solvent is one or more of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol or purified water.
[0017] In a preferred embodiment, in step (2), the temperature is raised to 30-70°C and the reaction is carried out for 0.5-1 h.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment, in steps (3) and (4), the extraction solvent is dichloromethane and / or ethyl acetate.
[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution in step (4) is 40 wt%.
[0020] As a preferred embodiment, in step (4), 25wt% potassium carbonate aqueous solution is then added dropwise to adjust the pH value to 9.0-9.5, stirred and allowed to stand, and the layers are separated. The aqueous layer is extracted twice with dichloromethane, and the organic phase is collected and sent to the desolvation vessel.
[0021] In a preferred embodiment, purified water is added dropwise in step (5) three times, with the amount of purified water added each time being [amount missing]. Purified water volume: crude product volume = 4%~40% : 1 The time for dripping water in the purification process is 10min~60min.
[0022] As a preferred embodiment, the first desolvation solution in step (5) is prepared according to the following mass ratio: dichloromethane: ethyl acetate: purified water = 21:8:1 to 18:6:1.
[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the second desolvation solution in step (5) is ethyl acetate or methanol, preferably ethyl acetate.
[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the temperature of the second solvent removal process in step (5) is less than 25°C, the temperature for cooling and crystallization is 10-20°C, the stirring time is 2-4 hours, the drying temperature is 35-45°C, and the drying time is 3-5 hours.
[0025] This invention utilizes a purification process to transform crude saxagliptin mother liquor into a valuable resource, significantly increasing the yield of crude saxagliptin and thus reducing production costs. The crude saxagliptin prepared by this method has a purity ≥99.95%, unaffected by recycled materials, and is of superior quality compared to crude saxagliptin prepared directly. Furthermore, the preparation method of this invention is simple, practical, and easy to promote. Attached Figure Description

Add the first desolvation solution while desolvating. After desolvation is completed, add the second desolvation solution while desolvating. At this time, the desolvation temperature is less than 25℃. After desolvation is completed, cool down to 10℃ and stir at this temperature for 2 hours. After filtration, the material is vacuum dried at 40℃ for 3-5 hours to obtain 3.1kg of crude saxagliptin.
[0068] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that in step (4), the organic phase is distilled under reduced pressure in the solvent extraction vessel to 15.0L-25.0L, and then concentrated with dichloromethane until the water content is 0.45%. The crude product obtained was tested, and in this step, the crude product contained 65-11+65-13=0.78% impurities, the maximum single impurity content was 0.1%, and the total impurity content was 0.95%.
[0069] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
