Background
Iloprost (Iloprost), developed by bayer company under the trade name Ventavis (vantavid), was approved by the FDA in the united states at 12/29 th 2004 for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension (PAH), was approved by the national food and drug administration in 2006 for domestic marketing, and is one of four imported targeted drugs currently available for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension. Iloprost is chemically named 5- { (E) - (1 s,5s,6r,7 r) -7-hydroxy-6- [ (E) - (3 s,4 rs) -3-hydroxy-4-methyl-1-oct-6-ynyl ] -bicyclo [3.3.0] oct-3-subunit } -pentanoic acid, molecular formula C 22H32O4, structural formula:
There are many reports of Guan Yiluo synthetic literature of prostaglandins, which are all 20 steps or more, for example Gais H J, etc. in Chemistry-A European Journal,2006,12 (21): 5610-5617, chiral dicyclic parent nucleus is prepared by resolution of the racemate, then chiral alkynyl side chains are connected in two sections, and finally valeric acid side chains are connected to prepare iloprost.
For example, guido J.Kramp et al in J.AM.CHEM.SOC.2005,127,17910-17920, a chiral double-ring master is prepared by a chiral induction method, a chiral alkynyl side chain is connected in one step, and finally a valeric side chain is connected in two sections to prepare iloprost. This route provides a method for forming E-type double bonds when constructing the valeric acid side chains, but the reaction conditions are severe, and the reaction is carried out for six days at-62 ℃.
The two synthetic methods are mostly linear synthetic routes, and have the defects of long steps, low total yield, complex operation, harsh reaction conditions, expensive reagents and the like, and the sectional connection of two side chains can increase the proportion of required E-type double bonds, but the conditions are harsh, the length of the synthetic route is increased, and the yield is further reduced.
In patent WO2011003058 and US2009325976, the two side chains are respectively introduced through one-step reaction after the chiral parent ring is prepared, but the E type/Z type mixture of about 2:1 is obtained after the valeric acid side chain is introduced, which causes great waste on the chiral parent ring prepared through a plurality of steps of reaction.
Therefore, the synthesis of the iloprost is subjected to process research, the synthesis route and the process operation are optimized, the steps are reduced, the yield is improved, and the purity is improved, so that the method has very important significance for industrial production of the iloprost.
