Preparation method of novel coronavirus main protease inhibitor
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis route design, raw material medicines and intermediate preparation thereof, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a novel coronavirus main protease inhibitor S-217622.
Background
S-217622 is a novel oral medicament for treating coronary disease developed by Japanese salt field company, and has the effects of inhibiting novel coronavirus main protease 3CLpro with high efficiency and resisting viruses. Preclinical experiments show that S-217622 has stronger effect on the activity of 3CLpro in vitro and IC 50 The value was 0.013. Mu.M, EC 50 The value was 0.37. Mu.M. Animal experiments have shown that S-217622 has high absorption and low clearance when administered orally in rats, monkeys and dogs, and has half-lives of about 10 and 30 hours in monkeys and dogs, respectively. Meanwhile, in vitro experiments also prove that S-217622 has stronger antiviral activity on a plurality of novel coronavirus variants and EC against the Omikovia variant 50 The value was about 0.29. Mu.M, no significant decrease occurred. At present, the medicine has completed clinical test in IIb stage, and based on the clinical test result, salt field company has applied for production and marketing permission to Japanese Zhuangsheng Kongku province.
S-217622 (I) has the chemical name: (6E) -6- [ (6-chloro-2-methyl-2H-indazol-5-yl) imino ] dihydro-3- [ (1-methyl-1H-1, 2, 4-triazol-3-yl) methyl ] -1- [ (2, 4, 5-trifluorophenyl) methyl ] -1,3, 5-triazine-2, 4 (1H, 3H) -dione having the structural formula:
analysis of the molecular structure composition of S-217622 revealed that the compound consisted of a "triazine" core and three "side chains" of "indazolyl", "triazolyl" and "trifluorobenzyl".
Based on the above analysis, a synthetic route for S-217622 is disclosed in the research literature of salt field company, "Discovery of S-217622, a No-Covalent Oral SARS-CoV-2 3CL Protease Inhibitor Clinical Candidate for Treating COVID-19" (bioRxiv, post January 26,2022), by reference to the concept of "reverse synthesis":
firstly, substituting a triazine mother nucleus 3- (1, 1-dimethyl ethyl) -6- (ethylmercapto) -1,3, 5-triazine-2, 4 (1H, 3H) -dione and a fluorobenzyl side chain 2,4, 5-trifluorobenzyl bromide in the presence of an acid binding agent to obtain an intermediate 1; secondly, the intermediate 1 is deprotected under the condition of strong acid to obtain an intermediate 2; then, the intermediate 2 and 3- (chloromethyl) -1-methyl-1H-1, 2, 4-triazole with a triazole side chain undergo substitution reaction again in the presence of an acid binding agent to obtain an intermediate 3; finally, the intermediate 3 and the 6-chloro-2-methyl-2H-indazole-5-amine with an indazolyl side chain undergo condensation reaction under the condition of strong alkali to prepare a target product S-217622 (I).
In order to selectively perform the substitution reaction between the halogenated side chain and the parent nucleus, it is necessary to take the steps of protection and deprotection, so that the whole reaction yield is reduced, and the principle of "atom economy" cannot be satisfied to the maximum extent. Meanwhile, the substitution reaction with the same mechanism is repeatedly used twice in the reaction route, so that the conditions of reduced selectivity and increased side reaction are probably generated.
Therefore, in order to more efficiently realize the preparation of the novel crown medicament S-217622, a modern synthesis technology is adopted to search a more economical and practical reaction route, and an economical, environment-friendly, green and alternative process route is formed, which is important for enriching the preparation technology of S-217622 and the economic and technical development of the raw material medicament.
