Description

Process for the preparation of obeticholic acid
The technical field is as follows:
the invention relates to the field of drug synthesis, in particular to a method for preparing obeticholic acid, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing obeticholic acid (6-ethyl chenodeoxycholic acid).
Background art:
obeticholic Acid (product name Ocaliva) is a new generation of Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC) treatment drug developed by Intercept pharmaceutical, Inc., which was approved by FDA in the United states and marketed earlier than 27.5.2016 and approved by the European Union at 12.12.2016, and is a globalized drug for treating Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC), which was the first drug approved for PBC treatment in the last 20 years.
Recently, Intercept Pharmaceuticals announced that Obeticholic acid (OCA) has been filed by the U.S. food and drug administration as a New Drug Application (NDA) for the treatment of fibrosis caused by non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Obeticholic acid (OCA) is the only investigational therapy currently used for the treatment of NASH patients that meets the primary endpoint of the phase 3 clinical study, and is the only FDA-specified breakthrough therapy currently used for the treatment of NASH fibrosis.
The structural formula of obeticholic acid is shown as a formula (1):
Figure BDA0002302004440000011
most of the existing synthetic routes use 3 alpha-hydroxy-6-ethylidene-7-ketone-5 beta-cholic acid represented by a formula (II) as a raw material to synthesize obeticholic acid. The compound represented by the formula (II) can be commercially produced at present, is provided by a plurality of suppliers, has relatively sufficient research on related substances, and fully meets various conditions as a starting material for synthesizing obeticholic acid.
Figure BDA0002302004440000012
WO02/072598 and WO 2013/192097 disclose methods for obtaining obeticholic acid by palladium on carbon catalytic reduction of a compound represented by formula (ii), followed by conformational transformation, and finally reduction with sodium borohydride as follows:
Figure BDA0002302004440000021
reaction conditions and reagents:
(a)H2SO4,MeOH,50~55℃,3h,90%;
(b) LDA, TMSCl, THF, and silica gel column chromatography at-60-65 deg.C for 5 h;
(c)BF3.MeCN,CH3CHO, DCM, 60 ℃ below zero to 65 ℃ below zero for 2.5h, and then heating to 5 ℃ below zero to 10 ℃ below zero for 2 h;
(d)NaOH,H2o, EtOH, 20-25 ℃ for 1H, using EtOH and H2Recrystallizing twice with O, the yield is 52%;
(e)10wt%Pd/C,H2,NaOH,H2o, 20-25 ℃ for 10H, then heating to 95-100 ℃ for 2H, and using EtOH and H2Recrystallizing twice with O, the yield is 79%;
(f)NaBH4and recrystallizing NaOH, H2O for 6 hours at 70-75 ℃ by using n-butyl alcohol ethyl ester twice.
This method oxidizes about 10% of the functional groups to carbonyl groups (Impurity III) via high temperature 3 alpha-OH in the presence of palladium on carbon, while intermediate dimeric impurities (Impurity IV) are readily formed under Acid catalysis during the intermediate work-up (see Weidong Feng et al (Process Research and Impurity Control Strategy for Objective Acid, a Farnesoid X Receptor Agonist)). This not only affects the yield of the reaction, but also greatly reduces the product quality. Meanwhile, the route needs to carry out configuration conversion in a sodium hydroxide aqueous solution at high temperature, so that the energy consumption is high, and the quality of the raw material medicines is not favorably controlled.
