Description

Method for synthesizing 24-norursodeoxycholic acid
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of organic chemical synthesis, and particularly relates to a synthesis method of 24-norursodeoxycholic acid.
Background
The 24-norursodeoxycholic acid is a homolog of ursodeoxycholic acid, has one methylene group less than the side chain of ursodeoxycholic acid, and has the following chemical structural formula:
Figure BDA0003436980790000011
the 24-norursodeoxycholic acid has relatively weak affinity to taurine and glycine, so that the taurine and glycine are easy to be reabsorbed by bile duct cells to return hepatic sinusoid and hepatic cells, and the excretion of the bile duct cells is promoted.
At present, basic treatment strategies of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease patients mainly comprise life style change, weight loss, abdominal obesity improvement, insulin resistance improvement, drug treatment aiming at metabolic syndrome components and the like; whereas simple basal therapy rarely reverses steatohepatitis. In the annual meeting of liver disease in the united states summoned by 19 to 23 months 10 and 2017, a phase iia randomized double blind control study from the team of austria and germany reported that a large dose of 24-norursodeoxycholic acid can significantly improve serum transaminase, triglyceride and liver imaging indices of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease patients.
However, few methods for synthesizing 24-norursodeoxycholic acid have been reported so far, and almost all methods are synthesized by decarboxylation using ursodeoxycholic acid as a raw material, but the raw material is expensive and the route is long. In contrast, the seal cholic acid is cheap and easily available as a byproduct in chenodeoxycholic acid extraction. And oxidative decarboxylation of seal cholic acid has been reported as early as 1986 (Collection czechlosovak chern. Commun.1986, 51, 1722), and recently also patents have been reported for the synthesis of 24-nor cholestanic acid (CN113135971A, 2021); however, in these syntheses decarboxylation and oxidation of the hydroxyl groups at the 3, 7 positions compete, especially if the hydroxyl group at the 3 position is of the same configuration as the hydroxyl group in the final product, which, if oxidized, would result in the need for an additional step for stereoselective reduction.
