Description

Production process of iodixanol
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of medicine preparation.
Background
Iodixanol (Iodixanol), chemical name 5,5'- ((2-hydroxy-1, 3-propane) bis (acetimidate)) bis (N, N' -bis (2, 3-dihydroxypropyl) -2,4, 6-triiodo-1, 3-benzenedicarboxamide, developed by nychid, norwegian, is a new type of non-ionic X-ray contrast agent, the only one that is isotonic with plasma when used in blood vessels, for cardiovascular imaging, cerebrovascular imaging, peripheral arterial imaging, abdominal angiography, urography, venous imaging and CT enhancement examination in adults, cardiovascular imaging, urography and CT enhancement examination in children, iodixanol injection was marketed in europe 1994, in the united states in 1996, in china in 2001.
Iodixanol is directly injected into blood to exert drug effect, and the dosage is large, so the quality of iodixanol bulk drug is highly required. And further has high requirements on the synthesis, separation and purification process of iodixanol.
Various synthetic routes and methods have been reported to produce iodixanol, such as the synthetic route disclosed in U.S. patent No. 6441235 as follows:
The method takes a compound (2) as a starting material, the compound (2) reacts with methanol to form a compound (3) under the catalysis of sulfuric acid, then the compound (3) is ammonolyzed to form a compound (4) under the action of amino glycerol, the compound (5) is reduced by hydrogenation, iodine chloride is used as an iodination compound (6), the iodination compound is reacted with acetic anhydride to synthesize a key intermediate (7), and the generated compound (7) reacts with epichlorohydrin to obtain iodixanol.
Analysis of synthetic route:
① The process route has six steps of reactions, long route, long production period and low total yield.
② In the fourth step of the route, the compound (6) is synthesized, iodine monochloride is used as an iodination reagent, and the iodine monochloride has high toxicity, corrosiveness, uneasy control of the reaction process and easy corrosion of equipment, and has no advantages.
③ When iodixanol is synthesized in the last step of the route, the conversion rate of the compound (7) is between 40% and 60%, the excessive alkylation reaction is more dominant, the conversion rate is low, and the subsequent purification steps are complicated.
Synthesis route two
The synthetic route disclosed in patent WO 9637458 is shown in the following figure: the method takes a compound (II) as a starting material, performs chlorination with thionyl chloride to form (III), reacts with acetyl chloride to form (IV), then reacts with amino glycerol to form a key intermediate, and finally reacts with epoxy chloropropane to obtain iodixanol.
Analysis of synthetic route:
① The four-step reaction of the route uses sulfoxide chloride reagent, is corrosive to equipment, and has inconvenient treatment of the generated hazardous waste, the compounds (III) and (IV) are acyl chloride, the post-treatment operation is inconvenient, and the production environment has great harm to personnel.
② The third step of the route is the same as the first process, the effective conversion rate of the intermediate (V) is lower, the excessive alkylation byproducts are more, and the subsequent separation and purification processes are complicated.
To sum up: the process is long, the production period is long, and the conversion rate of the double polymerization reaction is low.
Synthetic route three
Literature reports (ref :Hans-Rene Bjorsvik,Hanno Priebe,Jan Cervenka et.ASletctive Process for N-Alkylation in Competition with O-Alkylation:Boric Acid,Boraax,and Metaborate as a Cheap and Effective Protecting Group Applicable for Industrial-Scale Synthetic Processes[J].Organic Process Research&Development2001,5,472-478.), uses boric acid to protect the propylene glycol groups of key intermediates to reduce excessive alkylation byproducts, and adds epichlorohydrin for polymerization reaction, then adjusts acid to remove boric acid protection to obtain iodixanol.
Analysis of synthetic route:
The route improves a key intermediate double polymerization reaction system, in an alkaline water solution, boric acid is used for protecting an intermediate, then the intermediate is polymerized with epoxy chloropropane, the conversion rate is improved to be close to 80%, the excessive alkylation byproducts are reduced, the boric acid is removed by acid regulation, and iodixanol is obtained through macroporous resin separation and purification and recrystallization. The route still has the problem of complex subsequent separation and purification steps, and the reaction system is in a heterogeneous state due to poor solubility of the intermediate in water, the viscosity is high, the reaction rate is slow, and the reaction period is generally more than 48 hours.
In summary, the existing iodixanol related synthesis process has the main problems that the conversion rate of iodixanol generated by key intermediate double polymerization reaction is generally low, so that the subsequent separation and purification process is complicated, the production period is long, and the commercial production is not facilitated.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the technical problems, the invention adopts a technical scheme that: the double polymerization reaction is carried out by using a double-planetary dispersing mixer, the reaction period can be shortened by 50%, only 24 hours are needed, the conversion rate is high, the subsequent purification process is simple, and the commercial production is facilitated.

(1) Adding water, potassium hydroxide and a compound 4 into a double-planetary dispersing mixer, and stirring for dissolution;
(2) Starting dispersing and stirring, adding boric acid, cooling to 10-20 ℃, adding epichlorohydrin, and reacting completely;
(3) And (3) after purification, drying to obtain iodixanol.
The double-planet dispersing stirrer utilizes the revolution/rotation principle, and in the stirring process, two planet stirring frames respectively run according to the own axle center and simultaneously rotate around the same axle center along the container wall, so that high-viscosity materials at each corner can be uniformly mixed. Meanwhile, the revolution high-speed dispersing plate can fully crush and disperse materials in the revolution process. The stirring mode of the equipment can effectively promote the double polymerization reaction to be carried out, so that the effective conversion rate of the reaction is improved to more than 90%, and the reaction period is shortened to about 24 hours. After the reaction is finished, the product quality can reach the medicinal level (meeting the current USP and EP standards) through a simple purification process without recrystallization, so that the subsequent separation and purification difficulty is greatly reduced, and the production period is shortened.
The main impurity structure of iodixanol double polymerization reaction is as follows:
The impurity B is a reactant of the double polymerization reaction (the compound 4 in the synthetic route of the invention), the impurity A, the impurity C and the peralkyl impurity are main byproducts of the double polymerization reaction, and the synthetic route of the invention finally improves the effective conversion rate of the double polymerization reaction and reduces the generation of the byproducts.
