A kind of process for purification of tiopronin
Technical field
The invention belongs to field of medicine and chemical technology, relate to a kind of process for purification of tiopronin.
Technical background
Tiopronin (Tiopronin), chemistry N-(2-mercapto radical propionyl group) by name-glycine is a kind of novel glycine derivative that contains free sulfhydryl groups, can be widely used as chemotherapy and radiation therapy protective reagents, liver protectant and heavy metal detoxification agent.Tiopronin toxicity is lower, and the long-term treatment of suitable chronic disease abroad is widely used clinically.The mid-90 in 20th century, domestic approval production, now clinically widespread use, tiopronin is the compound with following chemical structure.
The synthetic method of tiopronin, bibliographical information is more.Synthetic route mainly contains two large classes: a class is take the alpha-mercapto propionic acid as starting raw material, and through benzyl protection, make acyl chlorides, with the glycine condensation, the deprotection base makes target compound again, and wherein the deprotection base will react by the sodium in-55 ℃ of lower and liquefied ammonia.Another kind of with alpha-brominated propionyl glycine and compound (such as the thiobenzoic acid) condensation that contains potential sulfydryl, then ammonia solves target compound.First kind severe reaction conditions is difficult to suitability for industrialized production; The domestic supply of Equations of The Second Kind desired raw material seldom, and preparation difficulty, toxicity is large.There is patent report α in Japan, and the two propionyl glycine of α '-dithio prepare target compound through electrolytic reduction, but the electrolytic reduction equipment requirements are high, also is difficult to scale operation.
At present domestic the reaction with sulfur oxychloride take α-chloro-propionicacid cheap and easy to get as starting raw material makes α-chlorpromazine chloride, get the alpha-chloro Propionylglycine with the glycine condensation again, then with the sodium disulfide condensation, intermediate namely gets tiopronin without separation with zinc powder reduction.This technique is simple, and product yield is higher.It is not high that yet this method building-up process synthesizes product purity, particularly synthetic intermediate impurity alpha-chloro Propionylglycine is restive, domestic literature all is to control by technological process mostly at present, make with extra care with ethyl acetate, this method technological process control difficulty is large, production cycle is long, and production cost is large.Ethyl acetate is refining undesirable to the control of intermediate impurity alpha-chloro Propionylglycine, often surpasses national standard.
Summary of the invention
The invention provides a kind of brand-new process for purification, can effectively control the purity of impurity (alpha-chloro Propionylglycine) by this method, and yield is high, and process for refining is simple, and the tiopronin after making with extra care can be used as the production that bulk drug carries out the preparations such as capsule.
The present invention is dissolved in the crude product tiopronin in three kinds of solvent solvents of esters solvent, two kinds of solvent solvents of alkane ketone or esters solvent, alkane ketone, fat alkane kind solvent, makes with extra care purifying by crystallization technique, and concrete steps are as follows:
1. in reactor, add the crude product tiopronin, add esters solvent, two kinds of solvent solvents of alkane ketone or esters solvent, alkane ketone, three kinds of solvent solvents of fat alkane kind solvent, temperature rising reflux 0.5-2 hour;
2. stir and be cooled to room temperature, be incubated 0.5-2 hour, continue to be cooled to 0-5 ℃, stir insulation 2-8 hour, filter;
3. wet product carry out drip washing with normal hexane, get the refining sample of tiopronin through vacuum-drying.
The tiopronin raw material that the present invention adopts is to be the crude product that starting raw material prepares by α-chloro-propionicacid, as refining raw material, tiopronin purity 96.5% gets final product, and wherein impurity alpha-chloro Propionylglycine≤0.28% gets final product, by refining, product can satisfy the state-promulgated pharmacopoeia standard.
Solvent as crystallization, otherwise tiopronin is reacted, can use esters solvent, alkane ketone and three kinds of solvent solvents of fat alkane kind solvent, perhaps two kinds of solvent solvents of esters solvent and alkane ketone are preferentially selected esters solvent, alkane ketone and three kinds of solvent solvents of fat alkane class.
Esters solvent can be ethyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, methyl acetate, n-butyl acetate, isobutyl acetate, propyl propionate, isopropyl propionate, n-butyl propionate or isobutyl propionate, and is wherein best with ethyl acetate.
The alkane ketones solvent can be acetone, butanone or 2 pentanone, and is wherein best with acetone.
Fat alkanes solvent is weak polar solvent, can be normal butane, 2-methylbutane, uncle's butane, 2,2-dimethylbutane, 2,3-dimethylbutane, Skellysolve A, 2,2-dimethylpentane, 2,3-dimethylpentane, 2, the 4-dimethylpentane,, 3, one of 3-dimethylpentane, normal hexane, hexanaphthene, normal heptane, octane, octane-iso, isononane or positive nonane, wherein best with normal hexane.
The esters solvent volumetric usage is 2~5 times of tiopronin weight in the treating process, wherein with 3 times of the bests.
The esters solvent volumetric usage is 2~5 times of tiopronin weight in the treating process, is preferably 3~4 times.
When adopting two kinds of mixed solvents of esters solvent, alkane ketones solvent, esters solvent is 3~8: 1 with alkane ketones solvent mixed volume ratio, is preferably 3~6 in the treating process: 1, and more preferably 3: 1.
When adopting the mixed solvent of esters solvent, alkane ketone and three kinds of solvents of fat alkane class, esters solvent is 4~8: 1 with alkane ketones solvent mixed volume ratio, is preferably 6: 1 in the treating process.
The 0.5-2 that fatty alkanes solvent volume consumption is tiopronin weight in the treating process times, 1 times of optimal selection.
The consumption of ester class, alkane ketone and three kinds of solvent solvent volume of fat alkane kind solvent is preferential in the treating process selects 6: 1: 2.
From mixed solvent, separate out the tiopronin crystal, more satisfactory with the mode of cooling, tiopronin solution is cooled to 0-10 ℃, under agitation slowly lower the temperature the crystallization effect for well with 10-15 ℃/speed at one hour rating cooling.
The crystal of separating out filters separation in 0-5 ℃, select 0-5 ℃ an amount of solvent of normal hexane to carry out drip washing, and the product dissolvent residual adopts 50 ℃, pressure≤0.1mpa, and the method for vacuum-drying 24-48h is removed.
