The invention relates to a preparation method of
fasudil hydrochloride. In the method, 1-(5-
isoquinoline sulfonyl) homopiperazine does not undergo
chromatographic column separation and purification, lots of
organic solvent for
elution is omitted, and multiple concentration under reduced pressure becomes unnecessary, thus the process is no longer tedious and
time consuming. The crude product of
fasudil hydrochloride adopts
methanol as the recrystallization
solvent, so that the preparation steps are reduced, the energy can be saved and the cost can be reduced. The undried 5-
isoquinoline sulfonyl chloride hydrochloride that is subjected to a Karl Fischer
moisture test and purified solved in water and
dichloromethane, and
sodium bicarbonate is added for
neutralization followed by layering. The split
dichloromethane solution of 5-
isoquinoline sulfonyl chloride and the
dichloromethane solution of homopiperazine are condensed, and water is added for washing. When the dichloromethane layer isseparated and dried, dry
hydrogen chloride gas is introduced into the dichloromethane, so that the
fasudil hydrochloride crude product can be obtained. The crude product is then recrystallized in
methanol, thus obtaining a competitive product which is white or almost white crystalline
powder. The yield of 5-isoquinoline
sulfonic acid as the competitive product is calculated as 66.3%.
