The invention relates to a preparation method of
prednisone acetate. The preparation method comprises the following steps: carrying out secondary culture on
arthrobacter simplex; adding a crude product of
cortisone acetate into the
arthrobacter simplex subjected to secondary culture, performing
fermentation conversion, and performing conversion by adopting a mode of gradient
temperature control and batch addition of an
organic solvent to obtain a crude product of
prednisone acetate; refining the
prednisone acetate crude product, pulping with
ethyl acetate, heating and refluxing, and repeatedly refining for multiple times to obtain a
prednisone acetate refined product; and heating and dissolving the
prednisone acetate refined product with
ethyl acetate, adding
activated carbon and water, heating and refluxing, filtering and concentrating to obtain the
prednisone acetate refined product. According to the method disclosed by the invention, a mode of gradient
temperature control and batch addition of the
organic solvent is adopted during conversion, so that the strain conversion efficiency is improved, and the conversion rate of prednisone acetate reaches 94% or above; during refining, a pulping mode is adopted, so that the batch feeding amount is increased, a repeated refining and concentrating process is removed, the
solvent consumption is reduced, and the
process time is greatly shortened.
