The recoverying and utilizing method of divalproex sodium crystallization mother liquor
Technical field
The invention belongs to chemical field, in particular to a kind of recoverying and utilizing method of divalproex sodium crystallization mother liquor.
Background technology
Sodium hydrogen divalproate is a kind of anticonvulsion and medicine of being emotionally stable, and is mainly used in treatment epilepsy and bipolar affective disorder, also may be used for migraine and schizoid treatment.Sodium hydrogen divalproate is used for controlling the petit mal of epileptic, grand mal (grand mal), complex partial seizures, the outbreak relevant to Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.Sodium hydrogen divalproate combines and suppresses GABA transaminase.It is dissociated into valproate ion at gi tract and works.The gastrointestinal side effect of Sodium hydrogen divalproate is little, drug interaction is less, therefore has the physiological property being parity with or superiority over valproic acid or Sodium Valproate, is widely used clinically.
The report of the synthesis technique about Sodium hydrogen divalproate in currently available technology comprises:
American documentation literature US6,077, what adopt in 542 is condition of no solvent, is dissolved in valproic acid reacts by Sodium Valproate.The shortcoming of this method is: the partial concn of valproic acid and Sodium Valproate is uneven, and likely have several ratio to mix in the product therefore obtained, the purity drop of product, quality is wayward.
Adopt in Chinese patent literature CN101003476A: make solvent with alcohol, 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, and general production is difficult to meet, and in drying process, easily cause product to lump, and affect product and use, quality is wayward.
American documentation literature US4,988,731 and US5,212, use acetone as solvent in 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, being most widely used therefore in current actual production.
But at above-mentioned patent documentation, particularly US4,988,731 and US5,212, in the technique described in 326, by the impact of cooling performance, in divalproex sodium crystallization mother liquor, at least also have the Sodium hydrogen divalproate of 10%-15% not separate out.In addition, also 2 methyl valeric acid and other impurity is contained in divalproex sodium crystallization mother liquor.Therefore, need to be further processed this crystalline mother solution, to meet environmental requirement increasingly strict at present.
For the recycling of divalproex sodium crystallization mother liquor, method conventional in currently available technology is: use recrystallization technology recovery Sodium hydrogen divalproate wherein, namely repeated multiple times condensing crystal is to reclaim Sodium hydrogen divalproate in crystalline mother solution.But the method operation is loaded down with trivial details, and the rate of recovery is low, and the Sodium hydrogen divalproate reclaimed is off quality or purity is not high, both effectively cannot utilize, and also increase real cost of production.
