Isonicotinamide methylpyrazine derivative eutectic I
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of organic drug co-crystals, and particularly relates to an isonicotinamide methylpyrazine derivative co-crystal I.
Background
Pharmaceutical co-crystals are based on the supramolecular chemistry principle, i.e. molecular recognition and supramolecular self-assembly by intermolecular interactions. The pharmaceutical active ingredient (API) is self-assembled with a suitable co-crystal former (CCF) through hydrogen bonds, or non-covalent bonds with saturation and directionality (such as Van der Waals force of aromatic hydrocarbon or benzene ring, pi-pi conjugation and halogen bonds), to form a novel structure, namely, the pharmaceutical co-crystal. The method is based on hydrogen bonds, does not need to form new covalent bonds or destroy existing covalent bonds, can modify the physical and chemical properties of the medicament while retaining the pharmacological action of the medicament, such as improving the stability of the medicament, reducing the hygroscopicity of the medicament, improving the solubility, improving the bioavailability and the like, and provides a wide development prospect for the application of pharmaceutical co-crystals in the pharmaceutical industry. In recent years, pharmaceutical co-crystal research has received increasing attention. At the present stage, the research on pharmaceutical co-crystals in foreign countries is gradually increased and deepened; and domestic research on the method is relatively less. For the imitation drugs, the research on the pharmaceutical co-crystal can also break the patent protection of the original research pharmaceutical company on the pharmaceutical crystal form, and is beneficial to the market of the imitation drugs. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to obtain more novel, practical and inventive pharmaceutical co-crystals, especially some water-insoluble drugs.
Acipimox is a nicotinic acid derivative, is a broad-spectrum long-acting lipid regulating drug, is used for various primary and secondary hyperlipidemias, mainly acts on adipose tissues, reduces the synthesis of plasma low-density lipoprotein and very low-density lipoprotein by inhibiting the release of free fatty acid from the adipose tissues, thereby reducing the levels of the plasma low-density lipoprotein and the very low-density lipoprotein in the plasma and simultaneously increasing the level of plasma HDL by inhibiting the activity of liver lipase. Acipimox was developed by Farmitalia caro Erba company of italy, marketed in italy in 1985, and then, by virtue of its high safety and remarkable therapeutic effect, it was marketed successively in many countries and regions of germany, chile, switzerland, hong kong, china, etc.
The pharmaceutical co-crystal can affect the physicochemical properties of the medicine, directly affect the dissolution and absorption efficiency of the medicine under the condition of physiological pH 7.4, and further affect the bioavailability, clinical curative effect and the like of the medicine. By means of drug co-crystallization, the advantages of co-crystallization can be well applied, which has very important effect on understanding and mastering the space arrangement and physicochemical properties of effective molecules of drugs.
At present, a lot of reports about acipimox exist, but reports about preparation, physicochemical properties, pharmacology and other properties of the acipimox are mainly about, reports about a crystal eutectic structure of the acipimox are less, the patent US2005239803A1, the patent CN 103508963A and the like report a preparation method of the acipimox, and the patent CN86103304-2 obtains an acipimox precipitate with a crystal property, which is acipimox hydrate, and has low yield. In the previous reports, the reports of the acipimox eutectic crystal are less, and the characterization parameters of the acipimox eutectic crystal are not mentioned.
