Background technology
Everolimus (Everolimus) is a kind of orally active rapamycin (Rapamycin) derivative, be also called 40-O-(2-hydroxyethyl)-rapamycin, belong to macrolide immunosuppressants of new generation and antitumor drug.This medicine is developed by Novartis Co., Ltd of Switzerland (Novartis Corp.), first go on the market in Germany in March, 2004, in August, 2008 is obtained European EMEA and ratifies, obtain U.S. FDA approval in March, 2009, so far in tens the national clinical applications in the whole world, be mainly applicable to the prevention being in the light adult kidney to moderate immune risk, liver and cardiac transplant recipients's organ rejection.
The structural formula of everolimus and rapamycin is as follows:
The preparation method relating to everolimus has been reported, such as:
American documentation literature US5665772 discloses a kind of preparation method of everolimus, and its syntheti c route is shown below.Rapamycin is starting raw material, react with O-(t-Butyldimethylsilyl) ethylene glycol triflate, obtain 40-O-(2-t-Butyldimethylsilyl) oxygen ethyl rapamycin, then hydrolysis obtains everolimus in methanol hydrochloride solution.The poor reproducibility of this preparation method, molar yield is extremely low, only have 5%, is unsuitable for industrialization and produces.
Chinese patent literature CN102127092A discloses a kind of preparation method of everolimus, and its syntheti c route is shown below.Take rapamycin as starting raw material, diisopropylethylamine is acid binding agent, with 2-(tert-butyl diphenyl is silica-based) oxygen ethyl triflate in toluene 50-60 DEG C react, an intermediate is obtained through column chromatography for separation, this intermediate reacts in tetrahydrofuran (THF) with hydrogen fluoride pyridine solution again, obtains everolimus through column chromatography for separation.Raw material 2-(tert-butyl diphenyl is silica-based) the oxygen ethyl triflate of this preparation method is not easily bought, and need synthesize voluntarily; Reaction mole total recovery still very low, be 21%, cost is high, be unsuitable for equally industrialization produce.
As can be seen here, disclosed in prior art there is many defects in the preparation method of everolimus, is necessary to research and develop the preparation method that can meet needed for actual production.
Summary of the invention
For the deficiencies in the prior art, the object of the invention is to provide a kind of new preparation method of everolimus, makes more reasonable, the safer environmental protection of its technique, obtains low cost, high-quality product, is applicable to suitability for industrialized production.
The preparation method of everolimus provided by the invention, comprises the following steps:
Rapamycin and oxyethane carry out single step reaction under strong acid catalyst, obtain everolimus.
Described strong acid is organic acid or inorganic acid; Preferably, described strong acid is selected from trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, methylsulfonic acid, tosic acid, sulfuric acid, boron trifluoride ethyl ether complex or its mixture; Most preferably, described strong acid is selected from trifluoromethanesulfonic acid or sulfuric acid.
Preferably, the mole dosage of strong acid is 5% ~ 20% of rapamycin mole dosage.
Preferably, rapamycin is 1: 10 ~ 1: 50 with the mole dosage ratio of oxyethane, is more preferably 1: 20 ~ 1: 30.
This reaction can be carried out in organic solvent, and organic solvent is selected from halogenated alkane, fragrant alkane or ether; Preferably, described organic solvent is selected from methylene dichloride, toluene, dimethylbenzene or glycol dimethyl ether.
This reaction also can be carried out under solvent-free.In solvent-free situation, optimization ethylene oxide is more excessive than the mole dosage of rapamycin, and more preferably rapamycin is 1: 10 ~ 1: 50 with the mole dosage ratio of oxyethane, and preferably rapamycin is 1: 20 ~ 1: 30 with the mole dosage ratio of oxyethane further.
This reaction is carried out under elevated pressure, and reaction pressure is selected from 0.2 ~ 2MPa, is preferably 0.8 ~ 1.3MPa.
The temperature of this reaction is 30 ~ 100 DEG C, is preferably 60 ~ 80 DEG C.
The time of this reaction is 2 ~ 20 hours, is preferably 5 ~ 10 hours.
Cool to room temperature after having reacted, concentration and recovery solvent, resistates is directly separated with silica gel column chromatography, obtain everolimus crude product, crude product uses HP-20 resin isolation again, obtains the everolimus finished product that HPLC purity is greater than 99.0%, content of isomer is less than 0.5%, and molar yield reaches more than 50%.
The structural formula of isomer is as follows:
Compared with prior art, the starting material propylene oxide that preparation method of the present invention uses is cheap and easy to get, and reaction only needs a step, and aftertreatment is simple, and product yield is high, quality good, is applicable to industrialization and produces.
