Abstract

An improved process for the preparation of pharmaceutically acceptable alkali metal salts or esters of clavulanic acid has been provided for. Furthermore, also potassium clavulanate with an extremely low amine content and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same have been provided for.

Description

The method for preparing clavulanate and ester
The present invention relates to prepare the especially method of Potassium clavulanate of the pharmaceutically acceptable alkali metal salt of clavulanic acid and ester.
Clavulanic acid and an alkali metal salt thereof and ester are the inhibitor of β-Nei Xiananmei, and it can improve the effect of penicillin and cephalosporin antibiotics.
The preparation of clavulanic acid generally is that fermentation can produce the microorganism of clavulanic acid such as streptomyces bacterial strain as being with excellent streptomycete.Generally resulting moisture meat soup is carried out conventional purifying and concentration method, as disclosed among the GB-1508977.
EP-A-26044 discloses the purposes of the tert-butylamine salt of clavulanic acid as preparation clavulanic acid intermediate.At for example WO93/25557, WO94/22873, EP-A-0387178, EP-A-562583 discloses other amine salt of clavulanic acid among WO96/26944 and the WO96/20199.Also disclosed two amidogen ethers in the application of back are thought amine in this application.All these reference papers that are cited insert among the application as a reference.
The objective of the invention is to prepare clavulanic acid and pharmacy acceptable salt class thereof,, wherein obtain required material with high yield and high purity as sylvite.
We have been surprised to find the many improvement to method.The meat soup extraction is to removing seemingly a kind of useful selection of solids from fermenting broth at first, entirely.Further improvement relates to the amine that use can form clavulanic acid amine with clavulanic acid, and this clavulanic acid amine can adhere on the wall in general used ethyl acetate/acetone soln.Add miscible organic solvent of entry such as alcohols, preferred dehydrated alcohol can avoid adhering to the trend on the two amine crystallization walls in the crystallization test tube, and this adhesion can cause the loss of productive rate.And, can influence the crystal habit of final product by being adjusted in the amount that adds water in the crystallisation stage.
According to the present invention, the pharmacy acceptable salt of preparation clavulanic acid or the method for ester are provided, it comprises one or more the following steps:
-the microbial fermentation that produces clavulanic acid;
-acidifying contains the meat soup of clavulanic acid;
-selectivity adds the miscible solvent of a spot of water;
-use the meat soup that contains clavulanic acid with water-insoluble organic solvent extraction acidifying;
-contain the clavulanic acid of water-insoluble organic solvent by evaporation concentration;
The spissated clavulanic acid solution of-usefulness purification via adsorption-based process;
-filter stick acid solution;
-selectivity adds one or more water miscibles organic solvents;
-selectivity adds the clavulanate that amine prepares this amine with the miscible solvent of water;
-selectivity is the clavulanate recrystallization of this amine that forms;
-be converted into the clavulanic acid of purifying or be converted into pharmaceutically acceptable clavulanate or ester by acidifying by the thing source that adds corresponding salt or ester;
-from this solution, isolate pharmacy acceptable salt or ester.
This paper points out for example N particularly of use, N, N ', N '-Tetramethyl Ethylene Diamine, 1, the amine of two (the dimethylamino)-2-propyl alcohol of 3-, tert-butylamine, uncle's octyl amine, benzhydrylamine and two (2-(dimethylamino) ethyl) ether.
In nearly all art methods, all emphasize before solvent extraction, to need to remove the solid of any suspension.Although filter or ultra-filtration can access useful result, the result is whole meat soups extractions is all having a proximate net result aspect the productive rate of final product and the purity.Yes by removing the big method efficient that a method steps produces to remove the important benefits of filtration step.The solvent of a small amount of by adding (be up to fermenting broth cumulative volume about 25%) such as the miscible ketone of water or alcohol and/or pH regulator make in the meat soup protein denaturation and/or add the difficulty that an amount of de-emulsifier can overcome the meat soup unstable and the emulsification that may exist forms, and improve the performance of whole meat soup extraction thus.
In the crystallisation stage of the clavulanate of amine, find that adding a spot of alcohol in the mixture that contains clavulanic acid and this extraction solvent ethyl acetate and the preferred acetone of recrystallisation solvent is useful as dehydrated alcohol.In a preferred embodiment, before adding amine or add alcohol simultaneously.The use of the solvent mixture of these three kinds of components has reduced crystallization and has sticked to phenomenon that causes loss of yield on the wall and the performance that has also unexpectedly improved purity and whole quality.All methods that add amine in the mixture that contains clavulanic acid have all caused favourable crystallization effect, for example add this amine and this clavulanic acid mixture in the reactor together simultaneously the amine and adding clavulanic acid mixture in this amine except adding in containing the clavulanic acid mixture.And, select by with activated carbon treatment separately or part with the amine clavulanate aqueous solution of solvent cut, the resulting solution of sterile filtration comes recrystallization before aseptic crystallization then.
In the Potassium clavulanate forming process, found to be incorporated in solvent then by slurry amine salt in miscible ketone of solvent preferably water or alcohol, also in miscible ketone of preferably water or the alcohol the preferred thylhexoic acid potassium in potassium source to form this material be useful.The use of slurry systems has significantly reduced required quantity of solvent, thereby has reduced cost and improved the productive rate of end product.
And, found that it is useful adding a spot of water in this (slurry) solvent.Be to have now found that to do the crystal habit that can influence end product so astoundingly.Can obtain easier cleaning like this and crystallization that have improved filtration and drying property.In this method, can form rose-shaped or acicular moulding crystallization, preferably a kind of acicular moulding crystallization.
And particularly when ether was made amine, the residual amine in the end product was very low, is lower than 0.05%w/w, preferably was lower than 0.02%w/w when using two (2-(dimethylamino) ethyl), and this content than the tert-butylamine that British Pharmacopoeia allowed hangs down 10 times.Low amine content in clavulanic acid amine intermediate is an ideal, because it can form more stable end product.Therefore, it is useful really using the Potassium clavulanate by this method preparation in the pharmaceutical composition that contains Potassium clavulanate and amoxycillin trihydrate.
