Patent CN102399205A discloses a kind of purification process of Mycophenolic Acid: by Mycophenolic Acid crude product, at 50 DEG C -90
It is dissolved at DEG C in 18~22 times of (v/w) methanol, 6%~10% active carbon that Mycophenolic Acid crude product quality is added is taken off
Color, filtering, concentration, crystallization obtain the Mycophenolic Acid sterling that purity is 99% or more.The purification process is larger using quantity of solvent.
CN103880798A discloses a kind of method for purifying mycophenolic acid.The method comprising the steps of: 1) providing temperature is 50
DEG C to 70 DEG C of mycophenolic acid ethanol solution;2) ethanol solution described in step 1) is cooled to 10 DEG C to 30 DEG C, makes mycophenolic acid
Crystallization is precipitated, isolated mycophenolic acid crystal;3) ethyl alcohol dissolving step 2 is used) gained mycophenolic acid crystal, by acquired solution and temperature
It is mixed for 5 DEG C to 12 DEG C of water, mycophenolic acid recrystallization is precipitated, isolated mycophenolic acid recrystallizes crystal.What this method used
The amount of quantity of solvent and purified water is all bigger, and what is obtained is amorphous mycophenolic acid sterling.
Document " development of neotype immunosuppressant mycophenolic acid and mycophenolate " (Zhejiang University's master thesis, it is glad
Rong, 2006) disclose the purification process of another Mycophenolic Acid: 7%~10% diatomite, stirring are added in fermentation liquid
30min, filtering, obtains thallus;Thallus is impregnated with ethyl alcohol, filtering obtains soak, is concentrated to dryness, obtains mycophenolic acid solid, will
Its ethyl acetate for being dissolved in 2 times of volumes is added the stirring decoloration of 5% active carbon, filters, concentration, places crystallization, and filtering obtains mould phenol
Gained crude product is dissolved in the ethyl alcohol of 5 times of volumes by acid crude at 40 DEG C, and -4 DEG C are placed for 24 hours, are filtered, dry, is obtained content and is reached
99% mycophenolic acid sterling.Yield is about 45%.This process requirement frozen cooling crystallizes, and consumes energy in industrial production larger, it is difficult to
It implements, and has used multi-solvents, increase recovery difficult.
Summary of the invention
We have found the more difficult removing of impurity A, we have carried out in detail impurity A during purifying Mycophenolic Acid
Research derives that its structure such as (III) is shown:
To solve problems of the prior art, impurity A is removed, the present invention provides a kind of purifying sides of Mycophenolic Acid
Method.This purification process includes the following steps:
1) Mycophenolic Acid is added in the mixed liquor of acetone and hydrochloric acid, heating stirring dissolution;Heating temperature is at 40 DEG C or more;
2) active carbon, stirring decoloration is added;
3) it filters;
4) solvent B is added dropwise in filtrate;
5) cool down crystallization;
6) it filters, washs, it is dry, obtain Mycophenolic Acid sterling.
In step 1), the volume ratio of acetone and hydrochloric acid is (7~10) in mixed liquor: 1;Mycophenolic Acid crude product and acetone salt
The ratio of sour mixed liquor is 1:(5~9) (w/v);It is preferred that the volume ratio of acetone and hydrochloric acid is (8~10) in mixed liquor: 1;It is preferred that
The ratio of Mycophenolic Acid crude product and acetone hydrochloric acid mixed solution is 1:(6~9) (w/v);It is preferred that solution temperature control is 45 DEG C~55
℃;It is preferred that the concentration of hydrochloric acid is 0.1M~3M (substance withdrawl syndrome is 0.1~3mol/L);
In step 2), the amount that active carbon is added is about 3~5% (mass percents) of Mycophenolic Acid crude product;Further,
The amount that active carbon is added is 5% (mass percent) of Mycophenolic Acid crude product.
In step 4), solvent B is one or more of petroleum ether, n-hexane, heptane, the dosage and Mai Kao of solvent B
The ratio of phenolic acid crude product is (5~10): 1 (v/w);The dosage of preferred solvent B and the ratio of Mycophenolic Acid crude product are (8~10): 1 (v/
w);
In step 5), the temperature for keeping the temperature crystallization is controlled at 15 DEG C~35 DEG C;It is preferred that the temperature of heat preservation crystallization is controlled 15
DEG C~30 DEG C.
Method of the invention has the advantages that compared with prior art:
1. the present invention uses mixed solvent, the purifying purpose to Mycophenolic Acid is preferably realized, Mycophenolic Acid sterling is made
Purity be higher than 99.6%, impurity A is less than 0.05%;Yield is higher than 85%.`
2. the present invention, without carrying out frozen cooling, reduces energy consumption in crystallization and recrystallization process.
3. method and process of the invention is simple, safety, at low cost, it is suitable for large-scale industrial production.
