Preparation methods of biologically active compounds

[0001] Cross-references to related applications

[0002] This application is based on and claims priority to CN application No. 202510123075.7 filed on January 24, 2025 and CN application No. 202510954249.4 filed on July 10, 2025, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Technical Field

[0003] This application relates to the field of pharmaceutical chemicals, specifically to a method for preparing a biologically active compound. Background Technology

[0004] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are novel biotherapeutic agents that link monoclonal antibodies with cytotoxic drugs via chemical linkers. The concept was first proposed by Paul Ehrlich in the early 20th century, who described them as "magic bullets." Linkers are a crucial component of ADCs, and their design influences their stability and drug release efficiency. Early linkers were mostly non-cleavable, but later, various cleavable linkers were developed, such as the cathepsin B-sensitive Val-Cit linker, which can cleave in specific intracellular environments to release cytotoxic drugs. The selection and optimization of the payload are critical to the efficacy of ADCs. From the initial vinblastine and DNA damaging agents to calcipomycin, orestane, and maytansine, and now to PBD and camptothecin derivatives, the variety of payloads has continuously increased, resulting in stronger tumor-killing effects and better stability. With continuous technological advancements and innovation, ADC therapy has a very broad application prospect in the field of cancer treatment, and is expected to provide patients with more treatment options.

[0005] The load linker in an ADC (Antibody-Drug Concentrate) is a crucial component, determining not only the drug's stability in vivo but also its release efficiency within tumor cells. Significant progress has been made in the synthesis of load linkers in recent years. The synthesis process of load linkers is a key factor affecting the commercial production of ADC drugs, including impurity control and process scale-up, all of which directly impact the production cost of antitumor drugs.

[0006] Currently, the synthetic methods for loaded linkers have many shortcomings that require improvement, such as harsh reaction conditions, high equipment requirements, long reaction times, low yields of target products, difficulty in isomer control, and high production costs. Therefore, there is still a need to develop a synthetic route for loaded linker compounds that offers high yields, low costs, high product purity, and fewer side reactions. Summary of the Invention

[0304] Example 1: Preparation of Compound 6

[0305] Step 1: Compound 1 (100 g, 372.73 mmol) and NHS (55.77 g, 484.55 mmol) were added to a 2000 L three-necked flask, followed by 1000 mL of DCM. The system was cooled to 0 °C using a cold trap. DIC (61.15 g, 484.55 mmol) was added dropwise to the stirred system, maintaining an internal temperature <10 °C. After the addition was complete, the mixture was stirred at this temperature for 15–24 hours. The concentration of compound 1 was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to be no greater than 0.5%, at which point stirring was stopped. Post-processing: The reaction solution was filtered, and the filter cake was washed with DCM (140 mL × 3). The filtrates were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure at a temperature not exceeding 40 °C until no significant liquid distillation was observed, yielding the crude solid compound 2.

[0306] Purification: Add 1L of methanol, stir, heat to slight reflux, and slurry for 2 hours; stir and cool to 50℃~55℃, cool in a water bath to 25℃~30℃, then continue to cool to 15℃~20℃, keep warm and stir for 30 minutes, filter, wash the filter cake with anhydrous methanol (140mL×3), dry the solid to obtain about 120g of wet product, dry under reduced pressure at 35℃~40℃ for 15 hours~24 hours; collect the material to obtain 114.20g of compound 2 solid (yield: 84%, HPLC: 99.4%, QNMR: 102%).

[0308] Post-processing: Cool to 20℃~30℃, and add the reaction solution dropwise to MTBE (5200mL) under stirring, causing a solid to precipitate. Continue stirring for 1 hour after the addition is complete. Filter, wash the filter cake with MTBE (300mL×2), and dry under vacuum to obtain a wet product. Transfer to a vacuum oven and dry under reduced pressure at no higher than 40℃ for 10~15 hours. Collect the material to obtain 158g of compound 4 solid.

[0309] Purification: Add the solid to DMF (474 ​​mL), stir until dissolved, then add MTBE (3800 mL) dropwise. The solid precipitates out. After the addition is complete, continue stirring for 1 hour. Filter. Wash the filter cake with MTBE (250 mL * 2), dry under vacuum to obtain a wet product, transfer to a vacuum oven, and dry under reduced pressure at no higher than 40°C for 15 to 20 hours. Collect the material and weigh to obtain 153.03 g of solid (yield: 112%, HPLC: 89%, QNMR: 85%).

[0310] Step 3: After purging the reactor with nitrogen and applying micro-nitrogen protection, add DMF (1.1 kg), then add compound 5 (230 g, 419.70 mmol); then add compound 4 (300 g, 445.31 mmol), and cool. Add DMTMM (140 g, 475.01 mmol) while stirring. After the reaction system is thoroughly mixed, add N,N-diisopropylethylamine (70 g, 541.63 mmol) dropwise. Maintain the temperature and stir for approximately 2 hours, then raise the temperature to approximately 20°C and continue stirring for approximately 5 hours. HPLC analysis shows that compound 5 concentration is no greater than 0.5%, then stop stirring.

Add dichloromethane isopropanol solution (10 volumes (V): 1V, 12kg) and water (5kg), and stir at 20-30℃ for 0.5-1.5 hours under nitrogen protection. Allow to stand and separate the organic phase, then add water (2.2kg) to the organic phase. Stir at 20-30℃ for 0.5-1.5 hours, allow to stand, separate the organic phase, add dichloromethane isopropanol solution (10V: 1V, 6kg) and water (2.4kg), and stir for 0.5-1.5 hours. Allow to stand, separate the organic phase, add dichloromethane isopropanol solution (10V: 1V, 9.2kg) and water (2.4kg), and stir for 0.5-1.5 hours.

Concentration: After purging the reactor with nitrogen and applying micro-nitrogen protection, add the solution containing the crude compound 6 obtained above, heat to a temperature not exceeding 45°C, and concentrate under reduced pressure to 0.5–1.4 L. Then add 3.2 kg of dichloromethane and continue concentrating to 0.5–1.4 L, then add another 3.5 kg of dichloromethane and continue concentrating under reduced pressure to 0.5–1.4 L.

[0312] Purification: Add dichloromethane (3.3 kg) and isopropanol (0.9 kg). Under nitrogen protection, cool to 20–30 °C and stir for 0.5–1.5 hours to obtain a solution. Add methyl tert-butyl ether (10.4 kg) to a crystallization vessel and add the above solution dropwise over a period of at least 2 hours while stirring. After the addition is complete, stir under nitrogen protection at 15–30 °C for 0.5–3.0 hours. Filter the solution until no obvious liquid flows out. Wash once with methyl tert-butyl ether (1.4 kg), filter until no obvious liquid flows out, then wash once again with methyl tert-butyl ether (1.6 kg), filter until no obvious liquid flows out, transfer the solid, weigh, and obtain compound 6 wet product. After purging the reactor with nitrogen and applying a micro-nitrogen protection layer, add dichloromethane (2.2 kg) and isopropanol (1.7 kg), stir until homogeneous, then add the wet product of compound 6. Using 5.2 kg of dichloromethane and under nitrogen protection, stir at 20–30°C for 0.5–1.5 hours to obtain a solution containing compound 6. Slowly add this solution dropwise to methyl tert-butyl ether (10.2 kg) under stirring, controlling the internal temperature at 15–30°C, for at least 2 hours, and stir at 20–30°C for 0.5–3.0 hours under nitrogen protection. Filter the solution until no obvious liquid flows out, then rinse once with methyl tert-butyl ether (1.6 kg), filter again until no obvious liquid flows out, then rinse once more with methyl tert-butyl ether (1.5 kg), filter again until no obvious liquid flows out, and transfer the solid to obtain the purified wet product of compound 6. The wet sample was transferred to a vacuum oven and dried under reduced pressure at 35–45 °C for 24–26 hours to obtain 6363.24 g of the compound (yield 76%, HPLC: 98.9%, QNMR: 98.4%).

The mixture was stirred to dissolve and cooled to -5 °C to 10 °C. DIC (93.15 g, 738.11 mmol) was then added dropwise while maintaining the internal temperature at 0 °C to 15 °C. After the addition was complete, the mixture was kept warm and stirred. When the concentration of compound 1 was found to be below 1.0% by HPLC, stirring was stopped.

[0316] Post-processing: Filter, wash the filter cake with dichloromethane (270mL×3), and collect the filtrate; concentrate the above filtrate under reduced pressure at no higher than 40℃ to remove the solvent, and obtain 329g of solid crude product.

[0317] First purification: 329 g of the crude product was transferred to a 5 L three-necked flask, and 4.50 L of isopropanol was added. Stirring was started, and the mixture was heated in an oil bath at an internal temperature of 65℃~70℃ until completely dissolved.
