T H E R E OF
This application claims priority to Indian Provisional Patent Application No. 201741005254 filed on 14 February 2017, which is incorporated herein in its entirety.
F ield of the invention:
The present invention relates to a process for preparation of aclidinium bromide and more particularly, to a process for preparing aclidinium bromide and intermediates thereof.
Background of the invention:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is mainly known by prolonged inflammatory changes that occur from exposure of the lungs and airway to noxious gas particles (e.g., tobacco smoke, occupational dust, and chemicals), resulting in airflow obstruction. COPD can be prevented and treated, however it causes significant extrapulmonary effects that contribute to disease severity. Over the past two decades, there has been a significant increase i n the preval ence of C O P D .
The objective of COPD therapy is mainly towards instant relief, symptoms reduction, as well as decreased risk of future adverse health events. Bronchodilators are essential for management in COPD. The choice between beta2-agonists, anticholinergic agents, theophylline, or combination therapy depends on availability of these drugs and patient response. Two long-acting anticholinergic agents are approved for the long-term maintenance treatment of bronchospasm associated with COPD: tiotropium bromide and aclidinium bromide are the well know agents for effective treatment of respiratory disorders. .
Aclidinium is a synthetic anticholinergic agent that is used as an inhalant for treatment of acute bronchospasm due to respiratory disorders. It is an anticholinergic bronchodilator that is used in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Aclidinium bromide is a white powder. Its molecular formula is C26H30NO4 S2Br, and it has a molecular mass of 564.56. The chemical structure is
Many known processes of synthesis of aclidinium bromide involve esterifi cation, transesterificatioen and requires excess of the alkylation agent, long reaction times or chlorinated solvents. The preparation of aclidinium bromide on commercial scale becomes difficult via route of synthesis disclosed in art.
Accordingly there is a need in the art for efficient, eco-friendly, non- hazardous and cost effective methods of synthesis of pharmaceutical grade aclidinium bromide with high yield and purity thereof that overcomes the above mentioned drawbacks of the prior art.
Summary of the invention:
In one aspect, described herein is a process for synthesis of aclidinium bromide and intermediates thereof. The process for synthesis of aclidinium bromide comprises the steps of:
(i) acylating quinuclidinol of Formula 2 with methyl chlorooxoacetate to obtain an intermediate of Formula 3;
(ii) a Grignard reaction of the intermediate of Formula 3 with 2-bromothiophene to obtain an intermediate of Formula 4;
(iii) N-alkylating the intermediate of Formula 4 with (3- bronnopropoxy) benzene to obtain a compound of Formula 1.
In another aspect in the acylation step, quinuclidinol of Formula 2 is acylated with methyl oxalic acid monomethyl ester or dimethyl oxalate.
In yet another aspect, in the acylation step, quinuclidinol of Formula 2 is acylated with methyl oxalic acid monomethyl ester or dimethyl oxalate.
Acylation is conducted in dichloromethane at a temperature of 0 °C. Further, N-alkylation of the intermediate of Formula 4 is with (3-bromopropoxy)benzene. During N-alkylation the solvent is a mixture of acetonitrile and chloroform. By converting intermediate of Formula 4 to Formula 1 by N-alkylation of the intermediate of Formula 4 with (3- bromopropoxy) benzene, aclidinium bromide of Formula 1 is obtained.
