Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of arsenopyrine synthesis technology, specifically to a cobalamin derivative, its preparation method, and its application in arsenopyrine synthesis. Background Technology

[0002] Arsinothricin (AST), first discovered in rice rhizosphere bacteria, is a non-protein analog of glutamate. It inhibits glutamine synthase (GS) to block bacterial nitrogen metabolism, exhibiting bactericidal effects against a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Because AST's mechanism of action differs from traditional antibiotics, it may offer a novel treatment option for multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.

[0003] AST is mainly generated by methylation of its precursor, hydroxyarsenicin (AST-OH), via arsenite (+3 oxidation state) methyltransferase (ArsM). The structural formulas of AST and AST-OH are shown below:

[0004] .

[0005] Among the related technologies, the synthesis method of AST-OH has many defects: the reaction raw materials are toxic, some intermediates are carcinogenic or toxic, and there are also problems such as low product yield, complicated operation process and long reaction time. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a cobalamin derivative, its preparation method and its application in the synthesis of arsenopyrine.

[0007] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a cobalamin derivative is provided having the following structure:

[0008] .

[0009] In this context, Fmoc represents 9-fluorenemethyloxycarbonyl, and t-Bu represents tert-butyl.

[0010] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned compound, comprising the following steps: reducing hydroxycobalamin to reduce trivalent cobalt in the above-mentioned hydroxycobalamin to monovalent cobalt, thereby obtaining monovalent cobalamin; subjecting tert-butyl 2-(Fmoc-amino)-4-iodobutyrate to the above-mentioned monovalent cobalamin in a first nucleophilic substitution reaction to obtain a cobalamin derivative.

[0011] A third aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a hydroxyarsenic trioxide intermediate, comprising the following steps: performing a complexation reaction between reduced glutathione and arsenic acid to obtain an arsenic acid-glutathione complex; performing a free radical reaction between a cobalamin derivative and the above-mentioned arsenic acid-glutathione complex to obtain a compound represented by formula (II); and performing an oxidation reaction on the above-mentioned compound represented by formula (II) to obtain a compound represented by formula (III).

[0012] in, ; ; .

[0013] In this context, Fmoc represents 9-fluorenemethyloxycarbonyl, and t-Bu represents tert-butyl.

[0014] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing hydroxyarsin, comprising: removing a tert-butyl group from the hydroxyl group of the compound represented by formula (III) by a first hydrolysis reaction to obtain the compound represented by formula (IV), wherein the compound represented by formula (IV) is obtained by the above preparation method.

[0015] in, .

[0016] Hydroxyarsenic trioxide is obtained by removing the 9-fluorenemethoxycarbonyl group from the amino group of the compound shown in formula (IV) above through a second hydrolysis reaction.

[0017] A fifth aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing arsenopyrine, comprising: methylating hydroxyarsenicpyrine to obtain arsenopyrine, wherein the hydroxyarsenicpyrine is obtained by the above preparation method.

[0018] The cobalamin derivative provided in this embodiment of the invention links 3-amino-3-carboxypropyl (ACP) to the cobalt atom of cobalamin (CbI) and protects ACP with 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) and tert-butyl (tBu). Thus, the cobalamin derivative can generate ACP radicals by light irradiation and transfer the ACP radicals to the arsenite substrate to form C-As bonds with the arsenite substrate, thereby rapidly generating AST-OH.

[0019] This invention provides a green and efficient method for preparing hydroxyarsenic trioxide. The method involves photocatalysis to react a cobalamin derivative with an arsenite substrate via a free radical reaction, generating AST-OH through this novel free radical mechanism. The reaction conditions are mild, requiring no high temperatures (above room temperature), high pressures (above atmospheric pressure), or strong acidic or alkaline conditions. It exhibits high oxygen tolerance, eliminates the need for expensive equipment such as glove boxes, and offers low cost and high yield. It is not limited by enzyme activity pockets and has the potential to synthesize AST-OH analogs. Detailed Implementation

[0020] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth for ease of explanation to provide a full understanding of the embodiments of the invention. However, it will be apparent that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the invention.

[0021] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. The terms “comprising,” “including,” etc., as used herein indicate the presence of the stated features, steps, operations, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, or components.

[0022] All terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art, unless otherwise defined. It should be noted that the terms used herein are to be interpreted in a manner consistent with the context of this specification, and not in an idealized or overly rigid way.

[0023] When using expressions such as "at least one of A, B and C", they should generally be interpreted in accordance with the meaning that is commonly understood by those skilled in the art (e.g., "a system having at least one of A, B and C" should include, but is not limited to, a system having A alone, a system having B alone, a system having C alone, a system having A and B, a system having A and C, a system having B and C, and / or a system having A, B and C, etc.).

[0024] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains; the terminology used in this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification and claims of this invention are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. Unless otherwise stated, the terms used in this invention have their commonly known meanings as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. Unless otherwise stated, the numerical values ​​of the parameters mentioned in this invention can be measured using various measurement methods commonly used in the art (e.g., they can be tested according to the methods given in embodiments of this invention).

[0025] In related technologies, AST-OH can be synthesized through chemical or enzymatic methods.

[0026] The chemical method synthesizes AST-OH via the reaction process shown in Synthetic Route 1. Specifically, sodium arsenite is esterified with 2-chloroethanol under alkaline conditions to generate (2-hydroxyethyl)arsenic acid. The product reacts with hydrochloric acid and SO2 under KI catalysis, reducing As(V) to As(III) while its hydroxyl group undergoes chlorination to generate dichloro(2-hydroxyethyl)arsine. Subsequently, the terminal hydroxyl group is chlorinated with SOCl2 to generate dichloro(2-chloroethyl)arsine. The As(III) of dichloro(2-chloroethyl)arsine is oxidized to As(V) by H2O2 and then undergoes a condensation reaction with diethyl acetaminomalonate and sodium ethoxide at 70°C to generate the malonic acid ester derivative of AST-OH. After deprotection with hydrochloric acid, the racemic final product AST-OH is obtained by cation exchange chromatography. The synthetic route 1 is shown below.

[0027] .

[0028] Enzymatic synthesis of AST-OH can be achieved in vitro using arsinothricin synthase L (ArsL) from the non-classical free radical S-adenosyl-L-methionine enzyme (Radical SAM). ArsL cleaves the C3+ of Radical SAM. γ,Met The -S bond generates a 3-amino-3-carboxypropyl radical, which is then transferred to the arsenite substrate to construct a C-As bond, thereby generating AST-OH.

[0029] Although the two methods mentioned above can synthesize AST-OH, they still have obvious shortcomings.

[0030] The chemical synthesis process has the following drawbacks: it relies on the SO2 / HCl / KI system to reduce pentavalent arsenic, SO2 gas is toxic and irritating to mucous membranes, and the generated intermediate methylarsine iodide (MeAsI2) is a strong carcinogen; the efficiency of chlorination to generate dichloro(2-chloroethyl)arsine is low, with a single-step yield of only 4%, and it generates highly toxic dichloro(2-hydroxyethyl)arsine byproducts; the synthesis process requires multiple column chromatography purifications, including silica gel column chromatography, Dowex ion exchange resin (Dowex resin), and hydroxypropylated cross-linked dextran gel LH-20 (Sephadex LH-20), which is complex, time-consuming, and consumes a huge amount of elution solvent.

[0031] The enzymatic catalysis using ArsL overcomes the drawbacks of chemical methods, such as harsh reaction conditions, long reaction times, and lack of stereoselectivity. However, it also introduces new limitations: ArsL relies on the [4Fe-4S] cluster for catalysis, which is highly sensitive to oxygen, requiring the reaction to be conducted in a glove box, making the experiment difficult and expensive; the efficiency of protein reconstruction of the [4Fe-4S] cluster is only 70%, with some proteins existing in an inactive state lacking the [4Fe-4S] cluster; ArsL achieves a turnover rate of 15 when catalyzing the cleavage of SAM to produce 5'-deoxy-5'-methylthioadenosine, but only 2 when using titanium citrate as a reducing agent to catalyze the final product AST-OH, resulting in low catalytic efficiency and high production costs. This makes it suitable only for obtaining trace amounts of products for basic research, not for mass production. Furthermore, ArsL relies on the C-terminal RCCLKC motif to recognize and bind As(III), and this high selectivity limits the formation of other types of CX bonds besides arsenic, thus lacking the potential for synthesizing AST-OH analogs.

[0032] In the process of realizing this invention, it was discovered that 3-amino-3-carboxypropyl can be linked to the cobalt atom of cobalamin. By utilizing the ability of cobalamin to form carbon-centered free radicals, a greener and more convenient AST-OH synthesis route can be developed, reducing production costs. This is of great significance for the application of AST in the treatment of bacterial infections.

[0033] In view of this, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention provides a cobalamin derivative having the structure shown below.

[0034] .

[0035] In this context, Fmoc represents 9-fluorenemethyloxycarbonyl, and t-Bu represents tert-butyl.

[0036] The cobalamin derivative provided in this embodiment of the invention links 3-amino-3-carboxypropyl (ACP) to the cobalt atom of cobalamin (CbI) and protects ACP with 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) and tert-butyl (tBu). Thus, the cobalamin derivative can generate ACP radicals by light irradiation and transfer the ACP radicals to the arsenite substrate to form C-As bonds with the arsenite substrate, thereby rapidly generating AST-OH.

[0037] Furthermore, the cobalamin derivatives provided in the embodiments of the present invention offer new ideas and insights for the application of cobalamin in photochemistry.

[0038] An embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned compound, including steps S101 and S102.

[0039] In step S101, hydroxycobalamin is reduced to reduce trivalent cobalt to monovalent cobalt, thus obtaining monovalent cobalamin.

[0040] In step S102, tert-butyl 2-(Fmoc-amino)-4-iodobutyrate is subjected to a first nucleophilic substitution reaction with hydroxycobalamin to obtain a cobalamin derivative.

[0041] According to an embodiment of the present invention, step S101, reducing hydroxycobalamin may include: reacting hydroxycobalamin with a reducing agent in a first organic solvent at 20°C to 30°C in the dark for 10 min to 30 min.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, in step S101, the reducing agent may include at least one of sodium borohydride and titanium citrate. The first organic solvent may be methanol.

[0043] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in step S102, the temperature of the first nucleophilic substitution reaction can be 20°C to 30°C, and the time can be 1h to 2h. Exemplarily, the temperature of the first nucleophilic substitution reaction can be any two values ​​between 20°C, 21°C, 22°C, 23°C, 24°C, 25°C, 26°C, 27°C, 28°C, 29°C, 30°C, or above, and the time can be any two values ​​between 1h, 1.1h, 1.2h, 1.3h, 1.4h, 1.5h, 1.6h, 1.7h, 1.8h, 1.9h, 2h, or above.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, in step S102, the molar ratio of tert-butyl 2-(Fmoc-amino)-4-iodobutyrate to the first compound can be 2:(3~4). Exemplarily, the molar ratio of tert-butyl 2-(Fmoc-amino)-4-iodobutyrate to the first compound can be 2:3, 2:3.1, 2:3.2, 2:3.3, 2:3.4, 2:3.5, 2:3.6, 2:3.7, 2:3.8, 2:3.9, 2:4, or any range between two of the above ratios.

[0045] For example, hydroxycobalamin (OH-CbI, 1 molar equivalent) and sodium borohydride (10 molar equivalents) can be added to methanol and reacted for 15 min under light-protected and anaerobic conditions. Then, tert-butyl 2-(Fmoc-amino)-4-iodobutyrate (2 molar equivalents) is added and reacted for 1 h under light-protected conditions. The pH of the reaction solution is adjusted to pH=5 using acetic acid to obtain the cobalamin derivative (ACP-CbI-FB).

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, the preparation method of tert-butyl 2-(Fmoc-amino)-4-iodobutyrate may include steps S201 to S203.

[0047] In step S201, L-homoserine and fluorenemethoxycarbonylsuccinimide are subjected to an acylation reaction in the first mixed solvent to obtain the compound shown in formula (A).

[0048] .

[0049] In step S202, the compound shown in formula (A) is subjected to a second nucleophilic substitution reaction with tert-butyl-2,2,2-trichloroacetic acid imine ester to obtain the compound shown in formula (B).

[0050] .

[0051] In step S203, the compound shown in formula (B) is subjected to a third nucleophilic substitution reaction with triphenylphosphine, followed by the addition of iodine for halogenation to obtain tert-butyl 2-(Fmoc-amino)-4-iodobutyrate.

[0052] .

[0053] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in step S201, the acylation reaction of L-homoserine and fluorenemethoxycarbonylsuccinimide in the first mixed solvent may include: dissolving L-homoserine and fluorenemethoxycarbonylsuccinimide in the first mixed solvent, cooling to 0°C to 10°C, adding a weak base and reacting for 30 min to 60 min, and then reacting at 20°C to 30°C for 16 h to 24 h. For example, L-homoserine and fluorenemethyloxycarbonyl succinimide can be dissolved in a first mixed solvent, cooled to a temperature between any two values ​​of 0°C, 1°C, 2°C, 3°C, 4°C, 5°C, 6°C, 7°C, 8°C, 9°C, 10°C or above, and then reacted with a weak base for a period of 30 min, 35 min, 40 min, 45 min, 50 min, 55 min, 60 min or above. The reaction can then be carried out at a temperature between any two values ​​of 20°C, 21°C, 22°C, 23°C, 24°C, 25°C, 26°C, 27°C, 28°C, 29°C, 30°C or above for a period of 16 h, 17 h, 18 h, 19 h, 20 h, 21 h, 22 h, 23 h, 24 h or above. In the initial stage of acylation, the reaction rate is relatively fast and a lot of heat is released. Too high a temperature is not conducive to product stability. Therefore, the reaction is first carried out at 0℃~10℃ for 30min~60min. After the reaction rate decreases, the reaction is carried out at 20℃~30℃ for 16h~24h, which is conducive to the formation of the compound shown in formula (A).

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, in step S201, the molar ratio of L-homoserine, fluorenemethoxycarbonylsuccinimide, and the weak base can be 84:(101~168):(101~168).

Exemplarily, the volume ratio of water to dioxane in the first mixed solvent can be 1:1, 1:1.5, 1:2, 1:2.5, 1:3, or any two of the above ratios.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, in step S201, the weak base may include at least one of sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate.

After cooling to 0°C, sodium bicarbonate (1.2 molar equivalent) is added, and the reaction is carried out at 0°C for 30 min, followed by reaction at room temperature for 16 h. After removing the dioxane, the aqueous phase is washed with petroleum ether. The pH of the system is adjusted to pH=2 with hydrochloric acid, and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase is dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum to remove the solvent, yielding the compound shown in formula (A), i.e., the crude homoserine product with the amino group protected by Fmoc.

Exemplarily, the temperature of the second nucleophilic substitution reaction can be any two values ​​between 20°C, 21°C, 22°C, 23°C, 24°C, 25°C, 26°C, 27°C, 28°C, 29°C, 30°C, or above, and the time can be any two values ​​between 16h, 17h, 18h, 19h, 20h, 21h, 22h, 23h, 24h, or above.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, in step S202, the second mixed solvent is a mixture of dichloromethane and tetrahydrofuran with a volume ratio of (1~3):1. Exemplarily, the volume ratio of dichloromethane to tetrahydrofuran in the second mixed solvent can be 1:1, 1:1.5, 1:2, 1:2.5, 1:3, or any two of the above ratios.

[0061] Exemplarily, in step S202, the compound shown in formula (A) can be dissolved in a second mixed solvent of dichloromethane / tetrahydrofuran (volume ratio 4:1), and tert-butyl-2,2,2-trichloroacetic acid imine ester (2 molar equivalents) can be added. The reaction is carried out at room temperature for 16 h. After removing the solvent, the residue is dissolved in ethyl acetate, washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and saturated sodium chloride solution, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The organic phase is purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain the compound shown in formula (B), namely homoserine with the amino group protected by Fmoc and the carboxyl group protected by tBu, namely tert-butyl 2-(Fmoc-amino)-4-hydroxybutyrate.

[0062] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in step S203, the compound shown in formula (B) undergoes a third nucleophilic substitution reaction with triphenylphosphine, followed by the addition of iodine for halogenation reaction, which may include: dissolving the compound shown in formula (B) and triphenylphosphine in a second organic solvent under light-proof and oxygen-free conditions, cooling to 0°C to 10°C, adding an organic base and reacting for 30 min to 60 min, then adding iodine and reacting sequentially at 0°C to 10°C for 30 min to 60 min, and at 20°C to 30°C for 6 h to 10 h. For example, under light-protected and oxygen-free conditions, the compound shown in formula (B) and triphenylphosphine can be dissolved in a second organic solvent, cooled to a temperature between any two values ​​of 0°C, 1°C, 2°C, 3°C, 4°C, 5°C, 6°C, 7°C, 8°C, 9°C, 10°C, or higher, and then an organic base can be added and reacted for 30 min, 35 min, 40 min, 45 min, 50 min, 55 min, 60 min, or higher. Iodine can then be added sequentially at 0°C, 1°C, 2°C, 3°C, 4°C, 5°C, 6°C, 7°C, 8°C, 9°C, 10°C, or higher. The reaction can proceed within any two of the following temperature ranges: ℃, 6℃, 7℃, 8℃, 9℃, 10℃, or above, for 30 min, 35 min, 40 min, 45 min, 50 min, 55 min, 60 min, or above; or within any two of the following temperature ranges: 20℃, 21℃, 22℃, 23℃, 24℃, 25℃, 26℃, 27℃, 28℃, 29℃, 30℃, or above, for 6 h, 7 h, 8 h, 9 h, 10 h, or above. In the initial stage of the halogenation reaction, the reaction rate is relatively fast and exothermic. Excessively high temperatures are detrimental to product stability. Therefore, it is beneficial to first react at 0℃~10℃ for 30 min~60 min, then, after the reaction rate decreases, react at 20℃~30℃ for 6 h~10 h to promote the formation of tert-butyl 2-(Fmoc-amino)-4-iodobutyrate.

After removing the solvent, excess I2 is removed with 10 mL of 10% (w / v) sodium thiosulfate solution, and the aqueous phase is extracted with ethyl acetate and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The organic phase is purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain tert-butyl 2-(Fmoc-amino)-4-iodobutyrate.
