Summary of the invention
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention is the method for preparing naloxone that provides new, and the enzyme that has wherein used prior art not point out makes enzyme reaction mild condition, harmless to human body basic.In addition, the present invention also provides naloxone composition and the application thereof being prepared by the method, although contain impurity in said composition, does not affect its patent medicine performance.Also have, the present invention also provides enzyme used in the authentication method of naloxone composition and preparation etc.
Particularly, in first aspect, the invention provides the method that enzyme process is prepared naloxone, it comprises,
(A) optionally thebaine hydrogen oxide is changed into 14-hydroxyl-7,8-dihydrocodeinone;
(B) under the effect of demethylase, by 14-hydroxyl-7,8-paracodin ketogenesis 14-hydroxyl-7,8-dihydro desmethylmorphine ketone purity is high and contain 14-hydroxyl-7, the composition of 8-dihydrocodeinone, the aminoacid sequence of wherein said demethylase:
(1) as shown in SEQ ID No:2, or
(2) be to SEQ ID No:2 disappearance, add and/or replace one or several amino-acid residue and the sequence of the reservation SEQ ID No:2 activity that obtains;
(C) 14-hydroxyl-7 in composition step (B) being obtained, 8-dihydro desmethylmorphine ketoalkylation becomes naloxone, obtains naloxone purity high also containing 14-hydroxyl-7, the composition of 8-dihydrocodeinone; With,
(D) be optionally further purified and/or composition that salt acidification step (C) obtains.
This is the method that the enzyme process of reported first participates in preparing naloxone, wherein used demethylase, its aminoacid sequence: (1) is as shown in SEQ ID No:2, or (2) are to SEQ ID No:2 disappearance, add and/or replace one or several amino-acid residue and the sequence of the reservation SEQ ID No:2 activity that obtains.
In this article, " optionally " has its lexical meaning, selects or do not select.For example, the method for first aspect present invention can select to comprise step (A), and the thebaine (Thebaine) of take is prepared naloxone as raw material; Also can select not comprise step (A), with 14-hydroxyl-7,8-dihydrocodeinone is that raw material is prepared naloxone.Conventionally preferably the former.
And for example, the method for first aspect present invention can select to comprise step (D); Also can select not comprise step (D), produce naloxone purity high also containing 14-hydroxyl-7, the composition of 8-dihydrocodeinone.The preferred the latter of the present invention, preferably the former, because the inventor finds, naloxone purity is high also containing 14-hydroxyl-7, the composition of 8-dihydrocodeinone can be directly as medicine material and patent medicine, even may be useful to patent medicine character, without expensive later stage purge process (remove a small amount of 14-hydroxyl-7 from naloxone, 8-dihydrocodeinone needs expensive chromatographic separation process).So the method for first aspect present invention can be that enzyme process is prepared high 14-hydroxyl-7, the method for the composition of 8-dihydrocodeinone of also containing of naloxone purity.
In this article, as without contrary indication, in composition, " purity " of composition and " content " can exchange use, all refer to this composition shared proportion in composition, and this area normalization method by HPLC just can calculate easily.Naloxone purity prepared by the method for first aspect present invention is high also containing 14-hydroxyl-7, in the composition of 8-dihydrocodeinone, naloxone purity is high, preferably in the method for first aspect present invention, in the composition obtaining in step (C), the purity of naloxone is greater than 95%, be preferably greater than 96%, more preferably greater than 97%, as be greater than 97.5%.
Because naloxone purity is high, 14-hydroxyl-7 in the composition obtaining in step (C), the content of 8-dihydrocodeinone is just low.Preferably in the method for first aspect present invention, in the composition obtaining in step (C), 14-hydroxyl-7, the content of 8-dihydrocodeinone is less than 5%, is preferably less than 4%, is more preferably less than 3%, as is less than 2.5%.14-hydroxyl-7, the content of 8-dihydrocodeinone cannot be avoided with enzyme process preparation, the statement of " containing 14-hydroxyl-7; 8-dihydrocodeinone " has shown 14-hydroxyl-7 in composition, the content of 8-dihydrocodeinone is not 0, for the purpose of clearer, 14-hydroxyl-7, the content lower limit of 8-dihydrocodeinone can be 0.3%.
Also preferred in the method for first aspect present invention, in step (A), thebaine is become 14-hydroxycodeine ketone by hydrogen peroxide oxidation in formic acid, and then 14-hydroxycodeine ketone is hydrogenated to 14-hydroxyl-7 by hydrogen, 8-dihydrocodeinone.Wherein preferably the catalyzer of hydrogen hydrogenation is Pd/C.In addition, preferably 14-hydroxycodeine ketone and/or 14-hydroxyl-7,8-dihydrocodeinone can precipitate extraction in basic solution, and more preferably wherein the pH of basic solution is 8.0~9.0, especially 8.1~8.5, as 8.2.
Preferably in the method for first aspect present invention, under the effect of demethylase, by 14-hydroxyl-7,8-dihydrocodeinone generates 14-hydroxyl-7 in acidity containing in the solution of halfcystine, 8-dihydro desmethylmorphine ketone purity is high also containing 14-hydroxyl-7, the composition of 8-dihydrocodeinone.Preferably wherein the pH value of acidity is 5.5~6.3, as 6.0.Preferably the temperature of demethylase reaction is 20~33 ℃ in addition, especially 25~30 ℃, as 28 ℃; And/or preferably the time of demethylase reaction is 1~10 hour, is preferably 3~8 hours, as 5 hours.For fear of the degrading activity of demethylase of the present invention, improve raw material availability, temperature of reaction can not be higher than 35 ℃.The composition that also preferred steps (B) obtains in addition can precipitate extraction in basic solution, and more preferably wherein the pH of basic solution is 8.0~9.0, and especially 8.3~8.3, as 8.5.
Like this, in the composition obtaining in step (B), although cannot remove 14-hydroxyl-7,8-dihydrocodeinone impurity, can make its content not form impact to final patent medicine, even may be useful.Preferably in the method for first aspect present invention, in the composition obtaining in step (B), 14-hydroxyl-7, the purity of 8-dihydro desmethylmorphine ketone is greater than 90%, is preferably greater than 92%, more preferably greater than 93%, as is greater than 93.5%.Correspondingly, preferably in the method for first aspect present invention, in the composition obtaining in step (B), 14-hydroxyl-7, the content of 8-dihydrocodeinone is less than 10%, is preferably less than 8%, is more preferably less than 7%, as is less than 6%.So preferably, in the method for first aspect present invention, step (B) does not comprise the further step of purifying of the composition that step (B) is obtained.The composition that so direct use step (B) obtains can further increase cost advantage.
