Background
Cloquinadol is a broad-spectrum bacteriostatic agent. The structural formula is as follows:
the relative molecular mass was 228.07.
It was extensively studied by many pharmaceutical facilities in europe as early as the 50 s, and found to have antimicrobial pathogen activity against fungi, trichomonas, bacteria (G + and G-), chlamydia and mycoplasma, and is a broad spectrum bacteriostatic. The earliest was developed and produced by the pharmaceutical factory of Morage Theramex, and the preparation method disclosed in the first place is that 8-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline is used as a raw material, 20% hydrochloric acid is used as a solvent, and the raw material is synthesized by one-step chlorination reaction under the condition of introducing chlorine.
The synthesis of the chloroquinadol, journal of Chinese medicine industry, 2008, 39(10), Tejiangtong, discloses a synthetic process of the chloroquinadol by using formic acid to replace hydrochloric acid as a solvent. Adding 2-methyl-8-light-radical oualin and formic acid into a reaction bottle, stirring until the mixture is dissolved, cooling to 0-5 ℃, introducing chlorine, stirring at room temperature for reaction until the reaction is complete when the color is not changed any more by using a diazobenzene-acetic acid solution, driving chlorine for 0.5h under the condition of reduced pressure at room temperature, and then recovering the formic acid under reduced pressure. The residue was treated with water and 20% sodium bisulfite solution until no color change was detected by starch potassium iodide paper. And (4) carrying out suction filtration, washing a filter cake with water, drying under reduced pressure, and then recrystallizing with ethanol to obtain yellow needle crystals.
Chinese patent CN108341776A discloses a process for synthesizing cloquindol, which comprises the steps of taking 8-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline as a raw material, taking chlorine atoms in an active state generated by the reaction of sodium hypochlorite and hydrochloric acid as a chlorinated raw material, and generating the cloquindol through one-step chlorination reaction; the process uses sodium hypochlorite as a chlorinated raw material instead of chlorine.
Chinese patent CN110143919A discloses a process for synthesizing chloroquinate, which comprises using 8-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline and N-chlorosuccinimide as raw materials, using Lewis acid as a catalyst, and carrying out one-step chlorination reaction under the conditions of solvent and dark place to generate the chloroquinate.
At present, a great deal of literature and patents are available for studying the synthesis process of chloroquinate, but the appearance of chloroquinate polymorph is not studied. In the prior art, the refined solvent of the chloroquinate is methanol and ethanol, the chloroquinate crystals obtained by crystallization are all yellow needle-shaped crystals, and researches show that the needle-shaped crystals have poor liquidity, uneven dispersion, difficult pulverization and poor drug property.

Research shows that in the preparation process of the chloroquinalder crystal, when no high molecular surfactant is added, the precipitated crystal is needle-shaped. After the addition of the high molecular surfactant, the crystal habit is changed, so that the appearance of the precipitated crystal is changed. In order to avoid the influence of the added high molecular surfactant on the purity of the precipitated crystals, an ionic surfactant cannot be selected, and a nonionic surfactant is selected. The nonionic surfactant is divided into polyoxyethylene type and polyhydric alcohol type, and experiments show that crystals precipitated by adding polyoxyethylene type (such as alkylphenol ethoxylates, polyoxyethylene fatty acid, etc.) are still needle-shaped crystals, crystals precipitated by adding polyhydric alcohol type (such as Tween-80, span-60, hydroxyethyl cellulose, polyacrylamide, polyvinylpyrrolidone, etc.) are one or more of needle-shaped crystals, sheet-shaped crystals or columnar crystals, but the crystal precipitated by adding hydroxyethyl cellulose, polyacrylamide, polyvinylpyrrolidone and the like is a mixed crystal of two or three of needle-shaped crystal, flaky crystal or columnar crystal, the crystal precipitated by adding the sorbitan esters such as the Tween-80, the span-60 and the like is a crystal with a single shape, wherein the crystal precipitated by adding the Tween-80 is more stable.
Further research shows that under the condition of adding sorbitan ester surfactants such as tween-80, span-60 and the like, methanol, ethanol, THF, 1,4 dioxane, DMF and the like are used as solvents, and the refined chloroquindol is needle-shaped crystal; taking acetone as a solvent, and taking the refined chloroquinadol as a flaky crystal; acetonitrile is used as a solvent, and the refined chloroquinadol is a columnar crystal. When acetonitrile is used as a solvent, no purified water is added, and therefore, the yield is not affected.
According to the classical nucleation theory, if the surface energy of a certain crystal phase is small, the energy barrier for becoming a critical nucleus is low, and thus has a relatively high nucleation rate. The interaction energy of the solvent and different crystal faces is different, so that the relative growth rate of the crystal faces is changed, and the growth morphology of the crystal is influenced and changed. When acetone and acetonitrile are used as solvents, different intermolecular forces are generated between the acetone and the acetonitrile and different crystal faces, so that different crystal shapes can be grown.
The X-ray diffraction method detects that unit cell parameters such as diffraction angles of the flaky crystal, the columnar crystal and the needle crystal are completely consistent, parameters such as infrared absorption spectrum absorption band frequency, peak shape, peak position and peak intensity are also completely consistent, and analysis results such as DSC, DTA, TGA and the like are also the same, so that the flaky crystal, the columnar crystal and the needle crystal are of the same crystal form.
