Preparation method and application of impurity E of suplatast tosilate process
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of drug synthesis, relates to process impurities in a raw material drug production process and preparation thereof, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a suplatast tosilate process impurity.
Background
Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world today, and most allergic asthma patients have the characteristic feature of overproducing a specific Immunoglobulin (IGE) protein in response to stimulation by a variety of external allergens. Sulfast (Suplatast tosilate) is a selective Th2 cytokine inhibitor developed by pharmaceutical company of Japan Roc (Taiho), marketed in Japan in 1995. The composition can significantly inhibit eosinophil production in bronchial wall, and can be used for treating allergic diseases such as bronchial asthma, atopic dermatitis, and allergic rhinitis.
The chemical name of suplatast tosilate is: (±) - [2- [4- (3-ethoxy-2-hydroxypropoxy) phenylcarbamoyl ] ethyl ] dimethylsulfonium p-toluenesulfonate having a structural formula:
the patent US4556737 reports a preparation method thereof, and the synthetic route is as follows;
because the impurities are introduced due to the methylation of hydroxyl in the preparation process of the compound 3 to the supreme of the process impurities in the medicine, the use benefit can be reduced, and therefore, the establishment of a corresponding analysis method through the directional preparation of the hydroxyl methylated impurities (E) has important significance for effectively controlling the quality of the bulk drugs and the preparations.
