Background technology
Sodium hydrogen divalproate is a kind of anticonvulsion and medicine of being emotionally stable, and is mainly used in treating epilepsy and bipolar affective disorder, also can be for migraine and schizoid treatment.Sodium hydrogen divalproate is used for controlling epileptic's petit mal, grand mal (grand mal), complex partial seizures, the outbreak relevant to Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.Sodium hydrogen divalproate combination also suppresses GABA transaminase.It is dissociated into valproate ion and works at gi tract.The gastrointestinal side effect of Sodium hydrogen divalproate is little, drug interaction is less, therefore has the physiological property that is parity with or superiority over valproic acid or Sodium Valproate, is widely used clinically.
Report about the synthesis technique of Sodium hydrogen divalproate in currently available technology comprises:
American documentation literature US6, what adopt in 077,542 is condition of no solvent, is about to Sodium Valproate and is dissolved in valproic acid and reacts.The shortcoming of this method is: the partial concn of valproic acid and Sodium Valproate is inhomogeneous, likely has several ratios to mix in the product therefore obtaining, the purity drop of product, and quality is wayward.
In Chinese patent literature CN101003476A, adopt: with alcohol, make solvent, by valproic acid and the polymerization of Sodium Valproate equimolar ratio, reaction solvent is under reduced pressure distilled dry.The shortcoming of this method is: this technique has higher requirement to equipment, is difficult to meet, and in drying process, easily causes product caking on general production, affects product and uses, and quality is wayward.
American documentation literature US4, is used acetone to make solvent in 988,731 and US5,212,326, valproic acid and the polymerization of Sodium Valproate equimolar ratio, then subcooling crystallization, after filtration, drying under reduced pressure obtains product.The advantage of aforesaid method is good product quality, therefore being most widely used in current actual production.
