The invention provides a method of reducing the content of
palladium in
fosaprepitant dimeglumine. The method comprises the following steps: preparing a
fosaprepitant dimeglumine solution; adding a sulfhydryl
silica gel palladium removing agent, stirring and filtering and then carrying out
vacuum distillation concentration; adding a proper amount of
solvent into a concentrated solution containing the
fosaprepitant for dissolving, and then dropwise adding a
mixed solution into an antisolvent; standing, crystallizing and
drying to obtain a finished product of
fosaprepitant dimeglumine. The
palladium removing method provided by the invention is higher in efficiency; the palladium residues in a finished product of the fosaprepitant can be reduced from an original high ppm value to below 5ppm, which conforms to the limit requirements of drugs for injection on the palladium content. Compared with an
organic phosphorus reagent, a palladium removing agent provided by the invention has the advantages of safety and
low toxicity; in addition, the palladium removing agent can be removed from the solution by simple filtering. The process has a significant cost
advantage and is suitable for industrial production.
