This product belongs to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, has anti-inflammatory, analgesia, refrigeration function.Its mechanism of action is not yet fully clear, may mainly discharge relevant with the oxidizing reaction of polymorphonuclear leukocyte with synthetic, the leukocytic medium that suppresses prostaglandin(PG).According to reports, nimesulide reached maximum plasma concentration in 1~2 hour by oral absorption after taking medicine, and the transformation period is 3~5 hours, and 6~8 hours still can continuous action.This product accumulation phenomenon can not occur almost all by urine excretion even repeatedly take yet.Can be used for clinically chronic arthritis disease (such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis etc.), pain and inflammation behind operation and the acute injury, the pain that the ear nasopharynx inflam mation causes, the treatment of the symptoms such as heating that dysmenorrhoea, upper respiratory tract infection cause.
Synthetic external main 2-anilino methylsulfonylphenylamine selective nitration and 2-bromo-4-nitro methylsulfonylphenylamine and two kinds of methods of potassium phenylate generation permutoid reaction of adopting of nimesulide.About the refining or purification process of Nimesulide compound, the prior art report is less." Guangdong pharmacy " the 3rd phase of the 12nd volume in 2002, introduced a kind of synthesis technique and process for purification of nimesulide, be that the nimesulide crude product is dissolved in ethanol, charcoal absorption is filtered, cooling crystallization, recrystallization gets the nimesulide highly finished product.The method is purified and is made with extra care nimesulide, and purity is still lower, and yield is not high yet.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of purification process of Nimesulide compound, adopt silica gel column chromatography, can obtain highly purified Nimesulide compound.
The technical scope that the present invention solves comprises:
The process for purification of the Nimesulide compound of a kind of formula (I) structure,
It is characterized in that comprising the step that obtains the nimesulide sterling by column chromatography for separation, and described column chromatography be with silica gel as stationary phase, the mixed solvent of trichloromethane and methyl alcohol is as moving phase.
Process for purification described above, wherein said moving phase is trichloromethane: the methyl alcohol volume ratio is 1: the mixed solvent of (0~0.2), wherein the methyl alcohol volume is not 0; Wherein preferred described moving phase is trichloromethane: the methyl alcohol volume ratio is 1: the mixed solvent of (0~0.1).
Process for purification described above, wherein said stationary phase silica gel is column chromatography silica gel, for example can be that particle diameter is 45-250 μ m, the aperture is 20-100A
0Preferable particle size is 75-150 μ m, and the aperture is 20-30A
0Kiselgel A.
Process for purification described above, the pressure of wherein said column chromatography is 0.1-4.0pa, is preferably 0.5-2.0pa.
Process for purification described above, the column temperature of wherein said column chromatography keeps 30-40 ℃.
Process for purification described above, wherein the flow velocity of column chromatography is preferably 0.1-2.0cm/min.
Process for purification described above, wherein the applied sample amount of column chromatography is 100~300mg/ml column volume.
As the present invention's one specific embodiments, described process for purification, wherein said column chromatography for separation is to carry out the silicagel column loading after the nimesulide crude product is dissolved with moving phase, use the moving phase wash-out, collect the nimesulide position, wash with water, solid drier is dry, concentrating under reduced pressure steams except elutriant, gets the nimesulide sterling.
Process for purification described above, wherein said solid drier for example can be selected from one or more in anhydrous magnesium sulfate, Calcium Chloride Powder Anhydrous, anhydrous sodium sulphate, anhydrous calciumsulphate and the activated alumina.
The purity of the nimesulide sterling that process for purification of the present invention obtains is not less than 99.8%.
Silica gel chromatography is separated according to the adsorptive power of material on silica gel is different, the material that polarity is larger generally speaking is easily by silica gel adsorption, the weak material of polarity is difficult for by silica gel adsorption, and whole chromatography process namely is Adsorption and desorption, again absorption, desorption process again.The present invention is by repetition test and groping, be surprised to find that by selecting easy silica gel column chromatography method, use suitable stationary phase and moving phase, specifically, employing silica gel is stationary phase, and a certain proportion of trichloromethane and methanol mixed solvent are moving phase, can make with extra care efficiently and the purifying nimesulide, the yield and the purity that obtain nimesulide are all very high, are a kind of effective ways that obtain the high purity nimesulide.Easy, the easy row of the method, with low cost.
The Nimesulide compound method for detecting purity is: chromatographic column is C
18(150mm * 4.6mm, 5 μ m), moving phase is methyl alcohol-0.1% disodium phosphate soln (volume ratio is 65: 35), flow velocity is 1.0ml/min, the detection wavelength is 254nm, and column temperature is room temperature, sample size 10 μ l, theoretical plate number is calculated with the nimesulide peak should be not less than 4500, and the resolution of nimesulide and impurity peaks is up to specification greater than 1.5 tailing factors.
