The preparation method of simvastatin ammonium salt
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of preparation method of statins ammonium salt, particularly a kind of preparation method of simvastatin ammonium salt.
Background technology
Simvastatin (Simvastatin) is developed by Merck company, be to be the semi-synthetic HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor that forms of raw material with the lovastatin, these product were in Initial Public Offering in 1988, obtain drugs approved by FDA in December, 1991, is mainly used in treatment former generation hypercholesterolemia blood fat, hypertriglyceridemia and other hyperlipemias clinically.Activity is 4 times of Pravastatin in vivo, and effectively development that prevention of arterial is atherosis and heart trouble recurrence reduces the danger that non-deadly myocardial infarction and myocardial vascular form art again.International at present technology of producing Simvastatin mainly adopts following several routes:
1), Canadian Patent CA1199322 record: earlier with lovastatin lithium hydroxide hydrolysis; obtain triol acid; lactonize again and obtain lactone compound; protected silane 4-position hydroxyl optionally then; use 2 again; 2-dimethyl-butyryl chloride and its reaction are sloughed the protected silane base at last and are obtained Simvastatin.
2), U.S. Pat 4582915 records: react the sylvite that obtains lovastatin acid with lovastatin and potassium hydroxide, with n-Butyl Lithium and methyl iodide and the reaction of above-mentioned sylvite, on its side chain, methylate and obtain Simvastatin again.
3), Canadian Patent CA1287063 record: lovastatin and n-butylamine reaction are obtained amine salt, and recycle silicon alkane is protected the hydroxyl of 4-position, uses methyl iodide and alkali and its reaction again, sloughs protected silane at last and lactonizes and obtain Simvastatin.
All there is weak point in above-mentioned three routes in producing utilization, mainly be following some: 1. article one route causes side reaction to increase, its total recovery lower (about 40%) because the first step pyrohydrolysis time is grown (approximately needing 56 hours).2. the second route because not hydrolysis exists than large space sterically hindered side chain, only makes the lactone open loop, so side reaction is less, but has the incomplete problem that methylates, and total recovery is also undesirable.3. the 3rd route, in order to solve the incomplete problem that methylates that the second route exists, this patent is come catalysis with the tetramethyleneimine lithium as highly basic, this method can make the yield that methylates greater than more than 99%, but there is the problem identical: a with second technology, with the n-Butyl Lithium reaction, this compound is abnormally dangerous, makes to produce to have bigger potential safety hazard; There are multiple solvents such as THF, normal hexane, tetramethyleneimine in b in the methylation reaction system, make that solvent is difficult to reclaim, and produces bigger environmental hazard; C from the whole piece route, owing to used many expensive reagent, makes total cost of production higher; D, the final step cyclization has used toluene as solvent, and making the residual boundary much larger than the ICH regulation of toluene has also influenced the promotion and application of this kind.
The synthesis route of Canadian Patent CA1287063 can adopt following procedural representation:
Formula 1 formula 2 formulas 3
The ammonium salt that promptly utilizes simvastatin acid to prepare Simvastatin earlier obtains Simvastatin through ring-closure reaction then.Wherein, the detailed process of preparation ammonium salt is: add methyl alcohol in the ethyl acetate solution of simvastatin acid, temperature control is at 25~30 ℃, dripped the strong aqua methanol solution by 1: 3, separate out crystal after, leave standstill 30min, continue to drip the strong aqua methanol solution, after the strong aqua methanol solution adds, be cooled to-10 ℃ in 1 hour, 100rpm stirs 2h under-10 ℃ of temperature, filter, wash crystalline substance with 3: 5 ethyl acetate methanol solution, 40 ℃ of vacuum-drying 2h get simvastatin ammonium salt.
It partly is the synthetic route that adopts this patent that the technology of producing Simvastatin at home has, and still when above-mentioned ammonium salt prepared, the yield in this step was very low, and complicated operation, and major cause is that simvastatin acid has the part cyclization when dropping ammonia, can not all become ammonium salt; Be that crystallization is separated out in pure water simultaneously, ammonium salt is separated out not exclusively; Should the step react the mixed solvent that adopts ethyl acetate, second alcohol and water in addition, solvent can't reclaim, and does not have cost advantage and is unfavorable for environment protection.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to, a kind of preparation method of simvastatin ammonium salt is provided, ammonium salt prepares the low problem of link productive rate in the solution prior art.
The objective of the invention is to be achieved through the following technical solutions:
1), simvastatin acid is dissolved in the optimum solvent stirring;
2), feed ammonia, detecting pH value be alkalescence, stops logical ammonia, stirring;
3), concentrate, stop to concentrate after crystal to be had is separated out, stir;
4), filter, and use with step 1) in identical optimum solvent wash crystalline substance, product must wet;
5), vacuum-drying gets simvastatin ammonium salt.
In above-mentioned steps 1), 2), 3) in stirring all be under-15 ℃-15 ℃, to carry out.
In above-mentioned steps 1), 4) in optimum solvent be that carbochain is a kind of in the alcoholic solvent, DMF, ethyl acetate, methylene dichloride, chloroform, acetone of 1-5.
In above-mentioned steps 3) in the simmer down to concentrating under reduced pressure.
In above-mentioned steps 5) in vacuum drying temperature be 15 ℃-50 ℃.
This technology is dissolved in simvastatin acid in the optimum solvent earlier, feeds ammonia then, and detecting pH value is that alkalescence gets final product, reaction times is short, simple to operate, reacts completely, and side reaction such as the no cyclization of reaction, by condensing crystal, the product that remains in the solvent is few, the reaction yield height.
