The invention belongs to the technical field of
drug synthesis, and relates to a preparation method of a novel
anticancer drug lanosterol derivative. According to the method, an intermediate LD-a is generated by taking
lanosterol as a starting
raw material under the protection of tert-butyl dimethyl
silicon (TBS); a Sharpless asymmetric
dihydroxylation reaction is carried out on the intermediate LD-a under the action of
osmium tetroxide (OsO4), and a
vicinal diol compound LD-b is generated;
Swern oxidation is carried out on the LD-b compound under the a
triethylamine alkaline condition, and aalpha-hydroxy-
ketone compound LD-c is generated; an
acylation reaction is carried out on the LD-c with
acetic anhydride, and an intermediate LD-d is obtained; the intermediate LD-d is subjected to TBSremoval protection, and an intermediate LD-e is obtained; and finally, the target
lanosterol derivative LD is obtained through epoxidation. According to the invention, the
reaction conditions of allthe steps are relatively mild, the synthetic steps are short, the use of highly toxic or expensive reagents is avoided, the prepared product is high in purity, and the preparation method can be applied to industrial production.
