Description

Method for preparing alfasin by using breinolone
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of organic compound preparation, and relates to a method for preparing medicine alfasolone from breinolone.
Background
Alfaxalone (Alfaxalone), chemical name 5 alpha-pregnane-3 alpha-hydroxy-11, 20-one, is a progesterone without endocrine hormone activity, and its use is neuroactive steroid anesthetic, for intravenous general anesthetic and sedative. Alfasin has no accumulation when repeatedly administered, has improved safety compared with propofol, has twice as much efficacy in sedation and anesthesia as the currently leading propofol in the industry, has less blood pressure drop than propofol, and has neuroprotective effect on fetal and adult brains at normal anesthetic doses. Alfasin is widely used worldwide as an intravenous anesthetic (intravenous Anaesthetical).
WillamR.Nes et al reported the synthesis of alfasin in 1951 (NewW.R et al, J.Am.chem.Soc.1951.73.4765), but the synthesis of its substrate was relatively cumbersome and difficult, which is not conducive to industrialization, as shown in Scheme 1.
Scheme 1
The process disclosed in 1973 for the preparation of alfasin (US patent 3714352) was not easily scalable, but the preparation process was low in yield, lacks selectivity, required large-scale purification.
Bandyopadyhayaya a.k. Et al, 2010 reported that the structure of 3 a-hydroxy was built using a configuration inversion method to prepare the main structure of alfaxalone (bandyopadyhayaya.k. Et al bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2010.20.6680), but in yields of only 32%, as shown in Scheme 2.
Scheme 2
In 2013, barbera slavi kova et al (barbera slavi kova et al, j.med. Chem.2013,56,2323) reported the construction of 3 a-hydroxy structures by sodium borohydride reduction, but isomer formation was still avoided, in a yield of 56%, as shown in Scheme 3.
Scheme 3
Drawbridge pharmaceuticals in 2020, a process patent WO2020006596 was published and entered china CN112384525a as shown in Scheme 4.
Scheme 4
The method utilizes the non-transfer hydrogenation to prepare the alfasin, still generates 3 beta-hydroxy isomer, and separates the alfasin through column chromatography by adding TBSCl, and the yield is 50-60%. The method has low yield, heavy metals are used in one step finally, and the synthesis efficiency is low.
In view of this, there is an urgent need in the marketplace for new methods for the rapid preparation of neuroactive steroid anesthetics, where relatively few chemical steps and high purity are desirable for use in industrialization.
The company discloses a method for preparing the medicine Burenolone by using the dehydropregnenolone acetate (CN 112501235A) in 2020, adopts the raw material of the dehydropregnenolone acetate from natural products, has single 5 alpha-configuration and high stereoselectivity of enzyme catalytic reduction of 3-keto in the reaction process, and can realize efficient and low-cost preparation of the medicine Burenolone, as shown in Scheme 5.
Scheme 5
Based on the method, the single three-dimensional configuration of 5 alpha-hydrogen and 3 alpha-hydroxyl of the breinolone is fully utilized, and the single three-dimensional configuration is taken as a raw material, so that a process route for preparing the alfasin is developed.
