Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method of berberine hydrochloride which is a broad spectrum antibiotic. The method takes 2, 3-dimethoxy benzyl alcohol and homopiperony lamine as raw materials to prepare the berberine hydrochloride by six steps of reaction, namely, alkylation, chloromethylation, cyanidation, alcoholysis, condensation and cyclization. The synthetic technology has easily available materials, high yield but low cost, thus being suitable for industrial production.

Description

The preparation method of berberine hydrochloride
Technical field
The present invention relates to the preparation method of medical material medicine, be specifically related to a kind of preparation method of broad-spectrum antibiotics berberine hydrochloride.
Background technology
Berberine hydrochloride is a kind of widely used clinically antibacterials, has another name called Bererini Hydrochclorium.The has a broad antifungal spectrum of berberine hydrochloride; To multiple Gram-positive and the equal tool restraining effect of negative bacterium; Wherein dysentery bacterium, streptococcus pneumoniae, streptococcus aureus, suis, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, diphtheria corynebacterium, vibrio cholerae, Neisseria meningitidis, Shigella etc. are had strong restraining effect, ameba is also had certain effect.Be mainly used in bacillary dysentery bacillus and other intestinal tract infectionss clinically.Berberine can extract from plants such as the coptis and obtain, but because of receiving the restriction of plant resources, the research work of chemical complete synthesis Berberine has very high economic worth.Though the technology of the complete synthesis berberine hydrochloride of chemical method has got into suitability for industrialized production at present, operational path is long, production cost is higher.In order further to reduce the production cost of berberine hydrochloride, we are researching and developing the new synthesis technique of berberine hydrochloride always.
1912, Pictet and Gams just reported the complete synthesis route of Berberine, and this route is with homopiperony lamine and 3; The 4-dimethoxyphenylacetic acid is a raw material, obtains Berberine (Ber., 1912 through preparation acyl chlorides, condensation, dehydration condensation, reduction, cyclization and oxidation; 44,2480~2485.).Synthetic route is following:
Figure S07120332620070312D000011
The step that this route needs in becoming the ring process is longer, and in second annulation, selectivity is relatively poor.So this route total recovery is lower, cost is higher.
1980, " national bulk drug technology compilation " that medicine management general bureau of country publishes reported more sophisticated Berberine synthesis technique.Operational path is following:
Figure S07120332620070312D000012
This technology is raw material with the piperonyl cyclonene, and the route of Pictet and Gams is succinctly efficient.Dongbei Pharmaceutical General Factory has also been reported identical route (ZL01106089.1), but this technology has been used copper catalyst in becoming the ring process, cause need doing the decopper(ing) processing after the reaction, and operation inconvenience, and cost is higher.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a new operational path of preparation berberine hydrochloride, be intended to overcome the shortcoming in the above synthesis technique, reduce cost, make it easy and simple to handle, be more suitable for suitability for industrialized production.
The present invention be be easy to get on the market 2,3-3,5-dimethoxybenzoic alcohol and homopiperony lamine are raw material, prepare berberine hydrochloride through six-step process altogether.The preparation method is following in detail:
