Description

Refining method of nalmefene hydrochloride
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical chemistry. In particular to a refining method of nalmefene hydrochloride.
Background
Nalmefene is an opioid receptor antagonist produced synthetically in 1975 by the Miami pharmaceutical company of florida. As a new generation of highly selective, highly specific opioid receptor antagonists. Nalmefene acts on mu, kappa and alpha opioid receptors, has strong affinity to mu receptor, can competitively antagonize beta-endorphin, and achieves therapeutic effects of relieving respiratory depression, promoting awakening, protecting nerves and the like [ present clinical application of nalmefene, 2012,14 (326) ]. Compared with naltrexone, nalmefene has longer acting time on opioid receptors, higher bioavailability and fewer adverse reactions, thus being widely applied clinically.
The nalmefene hydrochloride preparation which is currently marketed is nalmefene hydrochloride injection with the specification of 0.1mg/1ml (calculated as nalmefene). Since the injection is directly injected into human tissue or blood vessels, the quality of the injection must be ensured, wherein the quality of the raw materials is important. If the crude drug with lower impurity content and higher purity can be obtained by a simple and environment-friendly low-cost process, the safety of drug administration can be further ensured, which is also consistently pursued and expected by people.
Nalmefene can be prepared according to the method described by Hanh et al (j.med.chem., 18,259-262 (1975), mainckrodt (US 4751307) and Meltzner et al (US 4535157) by employing the above mentioned method, the free base of nalmefene is obtained which can then be converted into the hydrochloride salt by using conventional methods.
According to Brittain (Analytical Profiles of Drug Substances and Excipients (analytical characteristics of drugs and excipients) (1996), vol 24, pp.351-395), nalmefene hydrochloride can be recrystallized from water to give a pure drug product, which inevitably contains a monohydrate crystalline phase. In this same review, nalmefene hydrochloride monohydrate is described as being substantially non-hygroscopic in that it is only able to absorb up to 1% of extraneous moisture.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,182,62 discloses a method of crystallizing crude nalmefene hydrochloride obtained by synthesis using benzene-hexane as a solvent, but the purity of nalmefene hydrochloride obtained by this method is not reported. Benzene used in the method is classified into a first type of solvent by ICH (international conference on the registration of human medicines), namely a solvent which is known to be carcinogenic and is suspected to be harmful to human and the environment, is avoided as much as possible in the production of medicines, and if the benzene is used, the residual quantity is detected, controlled within a specified range and bound into a quality standard; the second class of solvents specified by ICH, i.e. solvents which are not genotoxic but are carcinogenic to animals, should be limited in use and if so, a residual quantity study must be carried out and it is determined if the test is to be entered into quality standards. In industrial production, benzene and hexane are harmful to the health of operators, and are not friendly to the environment, and the residual quantity in the finished product is not easy to control.
Thus, there is a need to provide a new, stable and non-hygroscopic nalmefene hydrochloride and a process for its preparation.
