Description

Method for synthesizing cetrorelix
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of medicine synthesis, in particular to a method for synthesizing cetrorelix.
Background
Cetrorelix is a gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist. GnRH binds to receptors on the cell membrane of the pituitary gland, stimulating the release of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). Cetrorelix competes with endogenous GnRH for receptors on pituitary cells, thereby inhibiting the release of endogenous LH and FSH. The inhibitory effect of cetrorelix was immediate after injection, with no irritation. In women, cetrorelix acts to delay the appearance of LH-surges and thus control ovulation. The effect of cetrorelix is dose dependent, with 3mg of cetrorelix maintaining 4 days of efficacy and approximately 70% inhibition at day 4. Inhibition was sustained by 0.25mg cetrorelix administered every 24 hours. Both animal and human trials have shown that endogenous LH and FSH secretion is rapidly restored after cetrorelix injection is discontinued. The clinical indication is that the patients who control the ovarian stimulation are prevented from ovulation in advance, and then the ovum collection and assisted reproductive technology treatment are carried out.
There are many reports on the preparation of cetrorelix at home and abroad, but the total yield of the synthesis processes is only about 40% at most, such as patents CN104277093A, CN104086632A, CN104610433A, CN104892732A, CN101284863A, CN101863960A, etc. In the prior art, the total yield of patent CN104086632A is the highest and reaches 45%, D-Orn (Dde) is mainly used as a precursor of D-Cit, then a protecting group Dde is removed to react with tert-butyl isocyanate to generate D-Cit (tBu), and the D-Cit (tBu) is cracked by using a traditional trifluoroacetic acid cracking solution to obtain cetrorelix. However, on the one hand, it uses toxic hydrazine hydrate to remove the D-Orn (Dde) side chain protecting group Dde; on the other hand, the totally protected cetrorelix peptide resin cannot be completely removed by adopting the traditional trifluoroacetic acid cracking solution, so that the total yield cannot be improved; the third aspect is that the appearance of toxic impurities [ D-cit (ac) ] -cetrorelix, remains incompletely avoidable.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above, the present invention aims to provide a method for synthesizing cetrorelix, which has high purity and total yield, and avoids the generation of toxic impurities [ D-cit (ac) ] -cetrorelix.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention provides the following technical scheme:
step 1, according to a cetrorelix main chain amino acid sequence, under the action of a condensation reagent and an activation reagent, protecting amino acid and amino resin to synthesize peptide resin 1, wherein D-Cit in the cetrorelix main chain amino acid sequence is replaced by protected D-Orn at a corresponding position of the peptide resin 1;
step 2, after N end of the peptide resin 1 is acetylated, removing a protected D-Orn side chain protecting group by using a protective agent, and reacting D-Orn side chain amino with tert-butyl isocyanate under the catalysis of organic base to generate D-Cit (tBu) to obtain cetrorelix peptide resin;
step 3, carrying out acidolysis on the cetrorelix peptide resin by using a trifluoroacetic acid solution containing hydrogen bromide to obtain a cetrorelix crude product;
step 4, purifying and freeze-drying the crude product of cetrorelix to obtain a pure product of cetrorelix;
