Background technology
Lovastatin (Lovastatin) be microbe-derived hydroxy-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme A also
Reductase inhibitor class anticholesteremic agent, because its mechanism of action is clear and definite, clinical efficacy is notable, is
The most important preventing and treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease (such as atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease) medicine
Thing.Lovastatin is the secondary metabolite of fungus, and industrial main producing strains has aspergillus terreus
(Aspergillus terreus), Aspergillus citrimum (Penicillium citrinum) and monascus
(Monascus ruber).
The chemical name of lovastatin is: (S)-2-Methyl Butyric Acid-(1S, 3R, 7S, 8S, 8aR)
-1,2,3,7,8,8a-6H-3,7-dimethyl-8-(2-((2R, 4R)-4-hydroxyl-6 oxo-2H-Pentamethylene oxide.
Base)-ethyl)-1-naphthalene ester.The molecular formula of lovastatin is C24H36O5, molecular weight is 404.55,
Structural formula is:
Lovastatin is white or off-white color crystalline powder, odorless, tasteless, slightly draws moist,
Being soluble in chloroform, the most molten in ethanol, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, insoluble in water, fusing point is
174.5℃。
From lovastatin fermentation liquid, extract lovastatin at present mainly have two kinds of extraction process roads
Line:
1. by lovastatin fermentation liquid is acidified, the pretreatment such as flocculation, make Lip river cut down him
Spit of fland is retained in mycelium, by filtering the dreg obtained containing lovastatin;Utilize organic solvent
Dreg is extracted, it is thus achieved that extract, extract is concentrated, crystallize, separate to obtain Lip river
Cut down statin crude product and crystalline mother solution;Crude product is carried out recrystallization and obtains lovastatin finished product.
2., by lovastatin fermentation liquid is carried out basic hydrolysis process, make mycelia wall destroy,
Lovastatin is hydrolyzed to the Lip river of open loop and cuts down acid structure, is changed into water solublity, enters aqueous phase;Pass through
Filter, collect filtrate, filtrate is carried out acid precipitation process, precipitate is collected by filtration;Utilize
Precipitation is extracted by organic solvent, it is thus achieved that extract, extract is concentrated, crystallize,
Separate to obtain lovastatin crude product and crystalline mother solution;Crude product is carried out recrystallization and obtains lovastatin
Product.
Extract is not all carried out at effective purification by the extraction process of both the above lovastatin
Reason, and substantial amounts of oil-soluble impurities enters in organic crystal mother solution.Often produce one ton of Lip river to cut down
Statin finished product can produce 4.5-5.5m3Crystalline mother solution, simultaneously containing substantial amounts of in crystalline mother solution
Lovastatin, lovastatin unit is at more than 30000U/ml.And by crystalline mother solution is entered
Row simple secondary concentration crystallization, can only reclaim few part lovastatin.The most current carries
Crystalline mother solution is fallen by taking technique as producing offal treatment, does not reaches the purpose of efficient recovery,
Extract yield is low.If able to the lovastatin in lovastatin crystalline mother solution is carried out effectively
Reclaim, just can significantly improve extraction efficiency, be substantially reduced the production cost of lovastatin.
In the current patent documentation about lovastatin production technology, only Chinese patent
CN103012344A describes the recovery of lovastatin, technical essential in lovastatin mother solution
It is to add two kinds of precipitant under the conditions of alkalescence after open loop to precipitate and carry out extracting, concentrate and crystallization reaches
To reclaiming purpose.Specifically describe is mother solution after reclaiming organic solvent, open loop under the conditions of alkalescence
Add two kinds of precipitant to precipitate and carry out extracting, concentrate and crystallization reaches to reclaim purpose.
In other scientific and technical literatures, only two discussions to lovastatin mother liquid recovery process: (1)
The science that North China pharmacy group Wang Jian et al. delivered on Chinese Pharmaceutical Association Annual Conference in 2008
Paper: lovastatin mother liquid recovery process is studied;Described in it is that crystalline mother solution open loop processes
After be translated into the organic salt being dissolved in water, then use the method for macroporous resin adsorption to remove
Remove major part impurity, then carry out solvent crystal.(2) Yang Junfa et al. delivered in 2011
Scientific paper: lovastatin disposing mother liquor utilizes process modification research.Described in it is open loop
It is translated into the organic salt being dissolved in water after process, then uses the method for stratification to remove big
Part oil-soluble impurities, acidified rear extraction applies mechanically crystallization.
Above method has all referred to the technique being cyclized again after the open loop to crystalline mother solution processes,
The tediously long complexity of operating process, the operating procedure relating to equipment is the most more, and him is cut down in scientific and technical literature Lip river
The method of spit of fland mother liquid recovery process employs substantial amounts of macroporous resin, substantial amounts of ethyl acetate etc.
Organic solvent, removal process solvent consumption is high, and safety and environmental protection pressure is big.
Therefore, need that a kind of technique is relatively easy at present badly and the crystallizing from lovastatin of safety and environmental protection
The method reclaiming lovastatin in mother solution.
