Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of propafenone hydrochloride production technology, and more specifically, to a continuous extraction device for the purification of propafenone hydrochloride. Background Technology
[0002] Propafenone hydrochloride is a commonly used antiarrhythmic drug. Its main function is to inhibit sodium channels in cardiomyocytes, slow down the rise rate of phase 0 of the action potential, thereby prolonging the action potential duration and effective refractory period, and inhibiting abnormal cardiac electrical activity. It is used to treat arrhythmias such as premature ventricular contractions, supraventricular tachycardia, and atrial fibrillation. In the synthesis process of propafenone hydrochloride, the purification process usually requires the removal of impurities through extraction.
[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN212468049U discloses a weighing device for a reaction vessel used in the production of propafenone hydrochloride. The reaction vessel is supported by three support legs, and the weighing sensor assembly under the support legs can accurately measure the weight of the reaction vessel. The structure of the directional sliding ball bearings and sliding grooves under the two sliding support legs ensures that the weighing sensor will not cause weighing errors due to thermal expansion when the reaction vessel expands due to the reaction.
[0004] When the above-mentioned device is in use, propafenone hydrochloride is crystallized through a reaction vessel. However, it is inconvenient to continuously extract propafenone hydrochloride before crystallization. Impurities will dissolve in the reaction solution in molecular form or be adsorbed on the surface of the target substance, resulting in co-precipitation during crystallization, which directly affects the purity of propafenone hydrochloride.
