Technical background:
Pitavastatin Calcium (I), be that the spy opens flat 1-279866 communique, EP304063, disclosed in the United States Patent (USP) 5011930 as blood lipid-lowering medicine (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor), Pitavastatin Calcium is that Japanese Nissan chemical industry Co., Ltd. develops, and by Nissan Chemical Ind Ltd, Kowa company Ltd and Sankyo Co., Ltd's co-applications, getting permission to go on the market in Japan in July, 2003 is used for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, and commodity are by name
, the preparation specification is the thin membrane coated tablet of 1mg and 2mg.
Since first statins lovastatin listing in 1987,3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor has obtained clinical and immense success market.
A large amount of clinical trials and research show that the statins treatment has prevention and reduces the effect of primary and Secondary cases coronary heart disease risk and mortality ratio thereof, and coronary heart disease then is one of topmost cause of the death of world today's population.Analytical results to various a large amount of datas also discloses, and to reduce the amplitude of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level relevant and be linear positive correlation with their in the above-mentioned effect of statins.Therefore, farthest reduce serum cholesterol level and will obtain bigger clinical benefit.But the part hyperlipidemia patient is accepted to still have significant proportion patient's lipid level can not reach controlled target after the existing statins treatment, and also objective requirement is clinical has lipopenicillinase and render a service stronger Statins new drug for this.
Pitavastatin Calcium is better than the statins that has gone on the market to the inhibition activity of HMG-CoA reductase enzyme, and its clinical effective dose is 1-2mg/d, is starkly lower than the statins that other have gone on the market.And Pitavastatin Calcium is in vivo without the CYP3A4 metabolism, and the possibility that causes bad drug interaction is less.Pitavastatin Calcium will provide a kind of new selection for the clinical treatment of hyperlipidaemia, and development and production this product will have important social and economic implications.
Open flat 1-279866 communique the spy, EP304063, report is converted into α beta-unsaturated carboxylic acid ester with 2-cyclopropyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-quinoline aldehyde in the United States Patent (USP) 5011930, and the rear oxidation that reduces becomes aldehyde, with the methyl aceto acetate condensation after obtain the Pitavastatin Calcium of raceme.The document of relevant this compound of preparation is as described below: Bio ﹠amp; Med Chem.2001,9, after raw material 2-amido-4 '-fluoro-benzophenone and the 3-cyclopropyl-3-oxygen-ethyl propionate cyclization, obtain 2-cyclopropyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-quinoline aldehyde in the synthetic route (Scheme-1) of 2727-2743 report through DIBAL reduction and PCC oxidation.Side chain is synthetic to be that hydrolysis must prolong the aldehyde of carbochain through formyl radical and the condensation of ethoxy ethene, and obtains raceme after the methyl aceto acetate condensation.Obtain racemic end product through Stereoselective reduction.
In another synthetic route of document report, obtain 2-cyclopropyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-quinoline aldehyde simultaneously with method.Side chain is synthetic to be through formyl radical and the condensation of cyanogen methyl acid phosphate diethyl ester, reduces to obtain prolonging the aldehyde of carbochain, and obtains raceme after the methyl aceto acetate condensation, obtains racemic end product through Stereoselective reduction.
Document Tetrahedron Letter.1993,34, the earlier synthetic side chain of the synthetic route of 8267-8270 report, the pairs of anion condensation of trimethyl silicon based propynal of raw material and methyl aceto acetate, reduce raceme.Method through splitting obtains optically pure side chain, encircles with mother to be connected again.Existence has four optical isomers from mesotomy, and it is big to split difficulty, the problem that yield is lower.
Document Bull.Chem.Soc.Jpn.1995,68, the middle side chain of the synthetic route (Scheme-4) of 2649-2656 report is synthetic to be to start to walk from raw material (R)-2-(the tertiary butyl dimethyl-silicon ethyl-acetylene) oxyethane that has a chiral carbon, with obtaining 3 (S)-hydroxyl-5-(tertiary butyl dimethyl is silica-based)-4-cyanoacetylene after the potassium cyanide open loop, again with the bromo-acetic acid tert-butyl condensation.Obtain optically pure side chain through chirality reductive method, encircle with mother again and be connected.Need to use highly toxic product potassium cyanide in the reactions steps; Side chain and female ligation agents useful for same relative complex of encircling.
