A kind of preparation technology of rifaximin
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of technology of chemical synthetic drug, particularly a kind of synthesis technique of rifaximin.
Background technology
Rifaximin (Rifaximin), chemical name: 4-deoxidation-4 '-picoline is the sharp good fortune SV of [1 ', 2 '-1,2] imidazo [5,4-C] also, and structural formula is as follows:
Rifaximin is the potent highly selective enteron aisle of first a non-aminoglycosides microbiotic, this medicine anti-microbial effect is strong, has a broad antifungal spectrum, compare with aminoglycosides, this product has high activity to clostridium difficile, staphylococcus epidermidis and streptococcus faecium, the Bacteroides etc. in gram aerophil, the gram anerobe, and aminoglycosides antibiotics is to the basic non-activity of above Pseudomonas.In addition, this product also has good activity or high activity to Salmonellas, intestinal bacteria, Shigellae, yersinia entero-colitica etc.Be mainly used in infectious diarrhea, comprehensive diarrhoea, hepatogenic encephalopathy (door body divergency), postoperative infection prophylactic treatment, diverticulum disease etc.Rifaximin has been the clinical choice drug of diseases such as developed country's treatment infectivity, comprehensive diarrhoea at present.
According to data and patent documentation
[1~4]Record, at present, the operational path of synthetic rifaximin mainly can reduce following two:
(1) rifamycin-S gets 3-bromine rifamycin-S through bromo, again with 2-amino-4-picoline cyclization, promptly gets rifaximin through reduction then, and synthetic route is as follows:
(2) rifamycin B is changed into the intermediate rifamycin-O, rifamycin-O and 2-amino-4-picoline reaction can obtain rifaximin then, and synthetic route is as follows:
The starting material of above-mentioned two operational paths are easy to get, side chain 2-amino-4-picoline and intermediate 3-bromine rifamycin-S or all easy domestic purchase of rifamycin-O.But consider that industrial pollution, the three wastes are handled and the stability of technology, most of second operational path that adopts is that raw material obtains the target compound rifaximin by one-step synthesis with the rifamycin-O, is about 80% with the rifamycin-O calculated yield.Yet owing to adopt the stronger methylene dichloride of toxicity to make reaction solvent, operating environment is bigger to the human injury, and the methylene dichloride contaminate environment of discharging; And, because last handling process comprises operations (as shown in Figure 2) such as salt acid elution, twice ordinary water washing, anhydrous sodium sulfate drying, vacuum concentration system crude product, complex process, production efficiency is low, and raw material and energy consumption are big, the cost height.

Summary of the invention
Technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide that a kind of technology is simple, cost is low, yield is high and the preparation technology of the rifaximin of environment-protection low-consumption.
To achieve these goals, the technical solution adopted in the present invention is: with rifamycin-O and excessive 2-amino-4-picoline reaction, reaction solvent is an ethanol, and temperature of reaction is 35~45 ℃, 20~24 hours reaction times, after reaction finishes, add Anhydrous potassium carbonate, the mole number that adds Anhydrous potassium carbonate is 0.9~1.1 times of rifamycin-O mole number, agitation and filtration, add the deionized water crystallization in the filtrate, filter, get the rifaximin finished product behind the filtration cakes torrefaction.
The ratio of the mole number of above-mentioned rifamycin-O and 2-amino-4-picoline is 1: 2~1: 3, and the best is 1: 2.5.
Compare with traditional synthesis process, the present invention has following advantage:
(1) increased substantially yield, brought up to average yield 88% by former average yield 80%;
(2) as shown in table 1, the present invention has reduced product master consumption and total consumption significantly.Main consumption is reduced to 1.4806g/g by 1.7138g/g.Total consumption is reduced to 4.7961g/g by 35.9879g/g;
Table 1: novel process raw material consumption and main consumption
(3) simplify technology, the shortened process time, saved the energy.The novel process reaction times reduced to 24 hours by 48 hours, the time that operations such as salt acid elution, twice ordinary water washing, vacuum concentration system crude product have been saved in aftertreatment simultaneously, had saved water, electric energy;
(4) reduce the discharging of waste water, waste residue significantly, reduced the disposal of waste gas, water and industrial residue cost, protected environment;
(5) adopt the alternative stronger methylene dichloride of toxicity of ethanol of low toxicity to make reaction solvent, improved operating environment, reduced environmental pollution.
