Preparation method of Maropitan free base
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of methods for synthesizing bulk drugs, and particularly relates to preparation of bulk drug maririptan free base.
Background
Maropintan Citrate (Maropintant Citrate), a receptor anticaking agent for neurokinin type 1 (NK1), acts on the central nervous system by inhibiting substance P, a key neurotransmitter responsible for emesis. The maririptan citrate belongs to one of alternative quinuclidine medicaments, and due to obvious curative effect, the medicament is approved by the FDA in 2007 to prevent and treat acute emesis of dogs and is subsequently approved to be used as a prescription external medicament for cats. The citric acid maropiptan has two dosage forms, and the citric acid maropiptan for injection is applied to preventing and treating acute vomiting of dogs; the tablet of the citric acid, the maririptan citrate, is used for preventing acute vomiting of dogs and vomiting caused by motion sickness; both can be used as external medicine for cat. The import registration of the maropiptan citrate is approved by the department of agriculture in China in 2016 and 5 months, and the maropiptan citrate is also used for preventing and treating acute emesis of dogs.
Maropritan citrate is also known as CJ-11,972, under the trade name Cerenia (antiemetic), and was developed by the original research of Peucedanum. The molecular weight of the citric acid, maririptan, is 678.82, and the chemical name is (2S,3S) -2-benzhydryl-N- (5-tert-butyl-2-methoxybenzyl) -3-amino-quinuclidine citrate monohydrate. The chemical structural formula is as follows:
documents WO2004035575, WO2005075473 and the like disclose and report a synthetic method of mariupitan; the synthetic route of the method requires 8-step reaction to realize the preparation of free marimastat base, wherein a phenyl magnesium bromide format reagent which is difficult to control and cuprous dimethyl sulfide bromide (CuBr (CH)) are involved3)2S) participating in Michael addition reactions, multi-step pressure hydrogenation reactions, and the like.
The specific reaction formula is as follows:
the method for synthesizing the free alkali of the maririptan has the advantages of long route and low yield (the total yield of 8-step reaction is only about 10%), and various precious metals such as Ti, Pt, Pd and the like are used in the reaction process, so that the cost is high, and a large amount of solvent and adsorbent are consumed for removing the precious metal residues. Therefore, the development of a new method for synthesizing the marapittanan is particularly important for the industrialized production of the drug.
