Description

PROCESS FOR PREPARATION OF GLIPIZIDE Field of invention
The present invention relates to process for preparation of Glipizide.
Background of invention Glipizide is an oral blood-glucose-lowering drug of the sulfonylurea class. The chemical name of Glipizide is l-cyclohexyl-3-[[p-[2-(5-methylpyrazine carboxamido) ethyl]phenyl] sulfonylurea. The molecular formula is C2iH27Ns04S, molecular weight is 445.55; the structural formula is shown below:
Figure imgf000002_0001
Glipizide is commercially marketed as Glucotrol. Glucotrol is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Various patents in the art disclose process for preparation of Glipizide.
US3669966 disclose benzenesulphonylurea compounds and processes of their preparation. The process for preparing Glipizide disclosed in this patent involves reacting 5-methyl pyrazine-2- carboxylic acid with ethyl chloroformate in the presence of triethylamine followed by reacting with p-(4-amino-ethyl) benzene sulphonamide to obtain N-[2-[4-(aminosulfonyl)phenyl]ethyl]-5-methylpyrazine- carboxamide. The crude product is then purified by crystallization from ethanol- water. The purified N-[2-[4-(aminosulfonyl)phenyl]ethyl]-5-methylpyrazine- carboxamide is further reacted with cyclohexyl isocyanate in the presence of base to obtain Glipizide. Another process disclosed in this patent involves reaction of methyl pyrazine carboxylic acid with thionyl chloride to form corresponding acid chloride followed by reacting the acid chloride with p-(4-amino-ethyl) benzene sulphonamide to obtain N (2-(4-(aminosulfonyl)phenyl) ethyl pyrazine carboxamide. This compound is then treated with cyclohexylisocyanate to obtain Glipizide. When the present inventors followed this process, they noted that the process resulted into formation of a sticky mass due to formation of number of impurities during reaction steps. Therefore, both preparation and isolation of products using the above process was difficult.
Indian patent application 2742/MUM/2013 disclosed preparation of Glipizide comprising a) preparing ester of 5-methylpyrazine-2-carboxylic acid by reacting 5- methylpyrazine-2-carboxylic acid in presence of alcohol and thionyl chloride (SOCb) at temperature 25-40°C; b) reacting ester of 5-methylpyrazine-2- carboxylic acid with 4-(2-aminoethyl)-benzene sulphonamide at 60-80°C to get 5- methyl-N-[2-(4-sulfamoylphenyl)ethyl]pyrazine-2-carboxamide; c) reacting 5- methyl-N-[2-(4-sulfamoylphenyl)ethyl]pyrazine-2-carboxamide with cyclohexyl isocyanate in presence of potassium carbonate and mixture of organic solvents to prepare Glipizide. Further it is disclosed that Glipizide is purified using mixture of alcohol and halogenating solvent to get pure Glipizide.
Thus, the above processes involve use of hazardous reagents like thionyl chloride, ethyl chloroformate etc.
CN102993106 disclosed synthesis of Glipizide which comprised of following reaction scheme.
