Technical field
The present invention relates to prepare method and their purposes in preparation rochovastatin and rochovastatin salt of rochovastatin intermediate.
Background technology
In the U.S., cardiovascular complication accounts for half of all diseases as myocardial infarction, apoplexy and peripheral vascular disease.High-level low-density lipoprotein (LDL) connects [referring to Goodman and Gilman with the coronary artery pathological changes that forms block blood flow and promotion thrombus in blood flow, ThePharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, the 9th edition, the 879th page (1996)].Shown that reducing plasma LDL levels can reduce the patient who suffers from cardiovascular disorder and not suffer from cardiovascular disorder but clinical risk takes place for the patient that suffers from hypercholesterolemia.[ScandinavianSimvastatin Survival Study Group, 1994; Lipid Research ClinicsProgram, 1984a, 1984b.]
His spit of fland medicine is the most effective medicine of result of treatment for the level that the patient who suffers from cardiovascular disorder is used for reducing blood flow LDL at present.The medicine of this class is particularly including mevastatin, lovastatin, Simvastatin, Pravastatin and fluvastatin.
Some details of the mechanism of action of his spit of fland medicine is by sets forth in detail.His spit of fland medicine has destroyed the synthetic of in liver cholesterol and other sterol by suppressing 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme A reductase (" HMG-CoA reductase enzyme ") competitively.HMG-CoA reductase enzyme catalysis HMG-CoA is transformed into mevalonic acid, and it is the step of decision speed in the cholesterol biosynthesizing.Its result, the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor causes the decline of cholesterol formation speed in liver.The minimizing of the cholesterol of preparation causes the increase of ldl receptors a large amount of in blood flow and the decline of corresponding LDL particle concentration.The decline of LDL level has reduced the risk of coronary artery disease in blood flow.[J.A.M.A.1984,251,351-74]。
At present the available Statins comprises: lovastatin, Simvastatin, Pravastatin, fluvastatin, look cut down Ta Ting and Zarator, and they are all with the form of lactone, as sodium salt or calcium salt administration.
Rochovastatin (7-[4-(the fluorine-based phenyl of 4-)-6-sec.-propyl-2-(N-methyl-N-sulfonyloxy methyl amido) pyrimidine-5-yl] (3R, 5R)-dihydroxyl-(E)-the 6-heptenoic acid) calcium, the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor can more effectively lower LDL-cholesterol and triglyceride levels than his spit of fland medicine of the first-generation.Rochovastatin has following chemical structural formula:
Rochovastatin calcium
The many relevant method of preparation rochovastatin and salt thereof is disclosed.Rochovastatin calcium, intermediate and their preparation method disclose in 440 (being called for short ' 440 here) at United States Patent (USP) 5,260.WO03/097614 discloses by nearest intermediate (3R)-3-(t-butyldimethylsilyloxy base)-5-oxo-6-triphenyl-phosphine subunit capronate and has synthesized rochovastatin, is disclosed in described intermediate exists ' 440.WO03/08112 discloses from different intermediates, (3R)-and 3-(t-butyldimethylsilyloxy base)-6-dimethoxy phosphino--5-oxo-caproate synthesizes rochovastatin.WO/0049014 discloses with the intermediate with other side chains and has reacted to synthesize rochovastatin by Wittig.EP850,902 have described removing of in mixture triphenylphosphine derivative.
Yet still needing in the art is the method for preparing rochovastatin that cost effectively has less purification step again, thereby makes them be more suitable for plant-scale production.
