Description

Preparation method of hydroxychloroquine
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of medicines and chemical engineering, and particularly relates to a preparation method of hydroxychloroquine.
Background
Hydroxychloroquine is a 4-aminoquinoline derivative, and the sulfate thereof, namely hydroxychloroquine sulfate, is used in clinical application.
Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate (Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate) has a chemical name of 2- [ [4- [ (7-chloro-4-quinolyl) amino ] pentyl ] ethylamino ] -ethanol Sulfate and a CAS number of 747-36-4, and has a chemical structural formula as follows:
Figure BDA0002559555910000011
hydroxychloroquine sulfate was successfully developed by Winthrop company, and first introduced into the United states in 1956, and then introduced into France, Denmark, Japan, Germany, Finland and other countries and regions. The American FDA approves the hydroxychloroquine sulfate tablet at 29/5 of 1998 to treat lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis. Compared with other similar medicines, the traditional Chinese medicine composition has advantages in safety, can improve arthritis symptoms of patients, resist oxidation and blood fat, avoid large-scale aggregation of blood platelets, improve the overall sensitivity of insulin on the basis of accelerating the insulin secretion rate of the patients by reducing the blood sugar level of the patients, and has positive effects on treating dermatomyositis, lichen planus, AIDS and the like.
The research in recent years shows that hydroxychloroquine has better inhibiting effect on various malignant tumors, can inhibit the growth of human breast cancer cells MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 and regulate the protein acetylation process of the tumor cells MCF-7; can also inhibit the activity of chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells, and induce cancer cell apoptosis by activating Caspase-3 (Caspase-3) and regulating the ratio of BCL-2 protein and Bax protein; can also increase the permeability of lysosome and mitochondria, thereby inducing apoptosis. As an autophagy inhibitor, hydroxychloroquine inhibits the growth of tumor cells by inhibiting autophagy of tumor cells, destroying the metabolism of tumor cells.
The recent clinical research results show that hydroxychloroquine sulfate has the activity of inhibiting the new coronavirus in vitro, becomes one of effective medicaments of antiviral medicaments in the treatment of the new coronary pneumonia, can inhibit the new coronavirus from invading human cells, can be used as an immunosuppressant to relieve the immune storm caused by the virus in a patient body, and reduces the harm to the patient.
In the early preparation methods related to the preparation of hydroxychloroquine sulfate, U.S. patent (US2546658) discloses the following reaction sequence:
Figure BDA0002559555910000021
the process uses phenol as solvent and 2, 4-dichloroquinoline as raw material, and prepares the product by condensation reaction with amino side chain. The reaction time is long (18h), the yield is low (18.6 percent), and phenol has great harm to personnel and environment. And the product has low quality due to more impurities and high content, and cannot ensure clinical application.
As an improvement on the above patent contents, canadian patent (CA2561987) discloses a process for the preparation of hydroxychloroquine sulfate:
Figure BDA0002559555910000022
prepared by condensation reaction of 2, 4-dichloroquinoline and an amino side chain in isopropanol at 120-130 ℃, and the yield is 80%. In the method, the purification process of the product is very complicated, the post-treatment process is complicated for removing impurities, a large amount of waste water is generated, and finally, the single impurity is controlled below 0.1%. Complicated operation, high cost and long time, and is not beneficial to industrial production.
In patent WO2005062723a2, a method for synthesizing hydroxychloroquine sulfate is disclosed, wherein the reaction process of the method is as follows:
Figure BDA0002559555910000031
in the method, KI is used as a catalyst, so that the reaction temperature is reduced, but the reaction time is too long (50h), the energy consumption is high, the production cost is increased, the generation of impurities is increased, and the industrial production is not facilitated; in the post-treatment process, the product is firstly made into phosphate, and then the product is dissociated out by the alkalization of ammonium hydroxide, so that the operation is complicated, a large amount of phosphorus-containing wastewater is generated, and the wastewater treatment pressure is increased; particularly, the final product is prepared by column chromatography, has complex operation and high cost, and is not suitable for industrialized mass production.
In patent US5314894, a method for synthesizing hydroxychloroquine sulfate is also disclosed, the reaction process of which is as follows:
Figure BDA0002559555910000032
in the method, high-boiling point N-ethyldiisopropylamine is used as both a catalyst and a reaction solvent, but the solvent is difficult to recover, solvent residues are easy to influence the purification of the product, the condensation reaction time is long (48 h), and the yield is low (45.9%). The final product is purified by column chromatography, and the method has the disadvantages of complex operation and high cost, and is not suitable for industrial mass production.
In recent years, in domestic patent reports on hydroxychloroquine (CN102050781B, CN103724261B, CN104230803B and CN109456266A), 4, 7-dichloroquinoline is used as a starting material, and is condensed with a hydroxychloroquine side chain under the action of alkali (such as sodium ethoxide, N-diisopropylethylamine and aluminum oxide-loaded villiaumite or quaternary ammonium salt) to obtain the hydroxychloroquine, so that the product purity is effectively improved (over 99.5 percent), impurities are controlled (the single impurity is less than or equal to 0.1 percent), the reaction temperature is still higher (120-130 ℃), the reaction time is longer (12-24 hours), and the production cost is higher.
In addition, in a recently reported patent document (CN107266323A), a method for synthesizing hydroxychloroquine sulfate is disclosed, wherein the reaction process of the method is as follows:
Figure BDA0002559555910000041
the method comprises the steps of taking 4-amino-7-chloroquinoline as a raw material, obtaining an active intermediate-sulfamide through sulfonation reaction of p-methylbenzenesulfonyl chloride, then carrying out condensation reaction with a chloro side chain under the action of tetrabutylammonium bromide, and then hydrolyzing and acidifying under the action of sulfuric acid to obtain hydroxychloroquine sulfate. The technological process improves the synthetic side chain of the hydroxychloroquine, and enables the final condensation reaction to be carried out at a lower temperature (60-65 ℃), but the 4-amino-7-chloroquinoline raw material is expensive and difficult to source, so that the final preparation cost of the hydroxychloroquine is higher.
The above routes have the disadvantages of long reaction time, high reagent toxicity, complex operation, environmental pollution, high production cost, poor product quality and the like, are difficult to meet the green production requirements of safety and environmental protection, lack of market competitiveness and are not suitable for industrial production. Particularly, with the increase of productivity, the environmental protection cost rises sharply. Therefore, it is very necessary to further improve the production method of hydroxychloroquinoline in order to obtain a simple, highly selective, highly pure, and low-cost preparation method.
On the other hand, 4, 7-dichloroquinoline is obtained by a three-step reaction of 4-hydroxy-7-chloro-quinoline-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester as a raw material in patent document (CN103626699A) through hydrolysis, decarboxylation and chlorination as a quinoline intermediate 4, 7-dichloroquinoline in the hydroxychloroquine synthesis process. The process involves the use of phosphorus oxychloride with high temperature (230-250 ℃) and high toxicity, so that the production cost is high and the safety risk is high.
Figure BDA0002559555910000051
As an improvement of the above-mentioned method for producing 4, 7-dichloroquinoline, a method for producing 4, 7-dichloroquinoline using 4-hydroxy-7-chloroquinoline as a raw material and triphosgene as a chlorinating reagent is disclosed in a recently reported patent document (CN 110627716A). However, the reaction process inevitably results in the release of hydrogen chloride and phosgene, so that the risk of corrosion of equipment and environmental pollution is still high.
Figure BDA0002559555910000052
It is noted that the existing methods for preparing 4, 7-dichloroquinoline involve 4-hydroxy-7-chloroquinoline and use it as the initial starting material. Patent document CN1847226A discloses a method for synthesizing the raw materials, which is completed by condensation and cyclization using diethyl ethoxymethylene malonate and m-chloroaniline as starting materials, as follows:
Figure BDA0002559555910000053
in the preparation process, the cyclization stage inevitably generates the following position isomers (Zhongguo, Li Chengzhou, Xuangui, Tianrui, Zhongnan pharmacy, 2006, 4(1), 28-29) due to the difference of reaction selectivity, and the reaction process is as follows:
Figure BDA0002559555910000061
in the above reaction principles, it can be seen that: the 4, 7-dichloroquinolino synthesis process required for the preparation of hydroxychloroquine chloride inevitably contains a production pathway for the isomer 4, 5-dichloroquinoline. The presence of this impurity, which undoubtedly puts a great strain on the production process of hydroxychloroquine, will also affect the final quality of the product. Although further purification of this product is possible by some purification means (CN109928925A, CN103626699A), it is also difficult to ensure high quality of 4, 7-dichloroquinoline, the intermediate required for the preparation of hydroxychloroquine chloride.
The organic solvent used in large amount in the chemical production process not only causes environmental pollution, but also has high cost and difficult recovery, and is not beneficial to industrial application, so the development of nontoxic and cheap green solvent is a very important subject for the chemical industry.
The Deep Eutectic Solvent (DES) is a novel Solvent developed in recent years, and compared with the traditional organic Solvent, the DES has the advantages of difficult volatilization, nonflammability, easy storage, no toxicity, good chemical stability, designability, recycling, simple synthesis process and environmental protection. Thus, eutectic solvents are considered as "Green solvents" instead of organic solvents (Green chem.,2012,14: 285-289; chem. Soc. Rev.,2012,41: 7108-7946; chemical evolution, 2014,26: 784-795; organic chemistry, 2016,36: 480-489; modern chemical engineering, 2018,39: 53-57).
At present, eutectic solvents attract high attention of researchers in various countries in the world, and show good application prospects in the fields of separation processes, chemical reactions, functional materials, electrochemistry and the like.
