The purification process of Abiraterone acetate oxalates and Abiraterone acetate
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of new Abiraterone acetate salt and preparation method thereof and the purification process of Abiraterone acetate。
Background technology
Abiraterone acetate is that in androgen synthesis, key enzyme 17 α-hydroxylase-C17,20-lyase (was also once called steroid 17 α-monooxygenase inhibitor or human-cytochrome P45017α) effective selectivity oral inhibitor, can be used for treating carcinoma of prostate。On April 28th, 2011, FDA used the transitivity castration drug resistance carcinoma of prostate of docetaxel patients undergoing chemotherapy before ratifying Abiraterone acetate associating Prednisone Therapy。The chemical name of Abiraterone acetate is (3 β)-17-(3-pyridine radicals)-androstane-5,16-dien-3-ols acetate, and structural formula is as follows:
The existing prior art of the synthetic method of Abiraterone acetate open (WO9320097, WO9509178, J.Med.Chem, 1995, Vo38 (13), 2463-2471, Org.Prep.Proced.Int., 1997,29 (1), 123-134), but the description of purification process is all adopted column chromatography by these documents。
CN101044155 adopts into crystallization of saltouing to improve the efficiency of purification, Abiraterone acetate crude product is made to become salt with methanesulfonic acid, the salt making formation is precipitated out in a solvent, other major part impurities left are in a solvent, it is filtrated to get Abiraterone acetate mesylate, then it is obtained Abiraterone acetate with alkali is free。But although this purification process is when methanesulfonic acid becomes salt with Abiraterone acetate, can be directly separating from solvent, do not need column purification, but formed the suspension of stiff, it is difficult to filtered, the filter cake thickness being filtrated to get, easy residual impurity, the Abiraterone acetate mesylate being filtrated to get also needs to be further purified by recrystallization, then obtains Abiraterone acetate with alkali is free, add operating time and difficulty, be unfavorable for industrialized great production。And what obtain after its crude product is free is grease product, and purity is about 89%, wherein substantially containing impurity such as pigmentosa material, raw material, hydrolysate abiraterones。And hydrolysate abiraterone and pigmentosa impurity are difficult to remove, it is unfavorable for purifying further obtaining high-quality crude drug。
The fluoroform sulphonate of a kind of Abiraterone acetate disclosed in CN102030798, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid is reacted with Abiraterone acetate crude product, obtain the Abiraterone acetate fluoroform sulphonate of dry and comfortable easy filtration, then obtain Abiraterone acetate by free for Abiraterone acetate fluoroform sulphonate。The Abiraterone acetate fluoroform sulphonate that the method obtains is higher than Abiraterone acetate mesylate purity, color good, overcome the defect in CN101044155, simplify purifying process, but owing to trifluoromethanesulfonic acid is expensive, it is easily generated acid mist, therefore the reaction in CN102030798 can only control at low temperature (5 DEG C) below, it is unfavorable for operation, and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid also has severe corrosive, equipment corrosion is serious, post processing and production operation difficulty are big, and air pollution is serious, is therefore not suitable for very much industrialized great production。
