Abstract

Iron deficiency is a common nutritional deficiency that occurs when the body does not have enough of the mineral iron. Iron is used by the body to make hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that enables them to carry oxygen throughout the body. While iron deficiency is most often associated with low levels of hemoglobin in the blood, iron deficiency can also lead to symptoms such as fatigue and lack of energy. Iron deficiency without anemia is often treated with oral iron, which is taken orally as iron tablets. However, oral iron is likely to cause side effects, is not effective for certain types of iron deficiency, and takes time to fully work. In addition, newer iron products, such as intravenous iron, are more stable, have fewer side effects, and show maximum benefit in a shorter period of time. For this purpose, in this project, an attempt has been made to synthesize the starting material of the iron sucrose complex in the final stages of precipitation, achieving the optimal reaction point, which has resulted in an increase in the reaction efficiency and also in the formation of the complex at a lower temperature.

Description

Description of the invention Title of the invention Synthesis of the starting material of the injectable iron sucrose complex to increase the reaction efficiency Technical background of the relevant invention Medicinal chemistry Technical problem and stating the objectives of the invention Anemia is a common problem in society that can affect people's health and quality of life. One of the essential factors in preventing and treating anemia is ensuring and consuming sufficient amounts of iron in the body. Iron is an important element for the production of hemoglobin - a protein that transports oxygen in the blood from the lungs to various organs of the body. When faced with anemia, doctors prescribe anemia medications such as iron injections. Iron sucrose is used to treat iron deficiency (anemia) in people with long-term kidney disease, who may need extra iron due to blood loss during kidney dialysis. If you are taking the drug erythropoietin to help make new red blood cells, your body may also need more iron. Iron is an important part of your red blood cells and is needed to transport oxygen around the body. Many patients with kidney disease cannot get enough iron from food and need injections. Iron sucrose is a type II complex with two oxygen atoms attached to each iron atom. When used for medicinal purposes, the iron complex polymerizes and the sucrose molecules combine to form a larger polysaccharide. The synthesis of the starting material for the preparation of the iron sucrose injectable complex reduces the efficiency of the reaction due to the lack of an optimal pH point in the final stages of precipitation. Precipitation in the final stages of synthesis due to the lack of an optimal pH point causes a waste of starting material and ultimately reduces the overall efficiency of the reaction, which is achieved by utilizing knowledge of medicinal chemistry and chemical reactions to find the optimal point and increase the efficiency of the reaction. The formation of iron and sucrose complexes requires appropriate temperature regulation to increase complex formation, otherwise it will cause unreacted precipitates in the vessel, ultimately reducing efficiency and making precipitation difficult. Also, the purification of the starting materials of the Tair reaction is of great importance in the final analysis of the product, because impurities will cause errors in the reaction calculations. In this plan, all the problems mentioned in the synthesis have been resolved. A description of the state of the prior art and the history of developments related to the claimed invention.

Inspection of the control of hematinic manufacturing processes and the establishment of standards for its use Providing a solution to an existing technical problem along with an accurate, sufficient, and integrated description of the invention Iron supplementation by intravenous injection is preferred in various clinical conditions (such as patients with low intestinal iron absorption, failure to respond to oral iron therapy, need for rapid iron deficiency compensation, chronic kidney disease, active inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases, cancer, severe or chronic blood loss, etc.). One type of iron salt is iron sucrose, which is used as a source of iron in patients with severe iron deficiency and chronic kidney problems (dialysis or non-dialysis), with the approval of the US Food and Drug Administration. Iron sucrose injection (off-label) is also possible in other eligible individuals and patients with iron deficiency caused by chemotherapy. Iron supplementation is also used in patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS) associated with low ferritin levels (full off-label use). However, the American Academy of Neurology guidelines consider the evidence and information insufficient to recommend the use of iron sucrose in these cases.Iron sucrose acts as a source of iron, which is essential for the function and formation of vital factors such as hemoglobin, myoglobin, and numerous enzymes. The presented plan is the synthesis of the starting material of the injectable iron sucrose complex. First, 15 g of anhydrous FeCl3 is gradually added to 30 ml of distilled water over 5-10 minutes, and the reaction vessel is mixed for 20 minutes with the help of a rotating magnetic magnet. Then, 1 g of activated carbon is slowly added and the temperature is raised to about 30-40 degrees, and then stirred for 20-30 minutes. Then, the reaction vessel is kept at room temperature for 10 minutes, and the reaction solution is filtered using Celite 545, and gradually added with a 30% w / v sodium carbonate solution until the optimal pH is 4.9-5.1 (room temperature). Then, it is filtered and the formed clot is washed with 40 ml of distilled water. In the next step, 135 g of sucrose is dissolved in 50 ml of distilled water and stirred for 1 hour. Then, the clot from the previous step (solution) is added. (Add 5 ml of water every 5 minutes, observing the time interval.) At this stage, we gradually increase the temperature to 50 degrees. Then, we add a 30% weight-volume NaOH solution and adjust the pH to 11.5-10.6 and the mixture is stirred for 10 minutes, then the temperature is raised to 90-95 degrees and the pH is adjusted to 9.30-8.75 with 35% HCl. It is stirred at this temperature for 4 hours and 1 gram of activated charcoal is added and after 30 minutes it is filtered. The pH is adjusted to 11.3-11.2 with sodium hydroxide and concentrated under vacuum. In a separate container, 450 ml of ethanol and acetone are poured in a ratio of (2 to 1) and the solution from the previous step is added to the resulting solvent and then washed.
