Preparation method of azilsartan
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of azilsartan.
Background
Aiming at the current situations of global aging aggravation, hypertension prevalence rate increase and obviously insufficient control rate, the international pharmaceutical macrostem has proposed a safer and more effective angiotensin II receptor antagonist, azilsartan, which is produced by wutian pharmaceutical company in japan, is approved by FDA and EMA in 2011 and 2012, is sold in the united states and europe respectively, and is a latest generation of therapeutic drug for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The azilsartan has the advantages of more direct combination on angiotensin II receptors, stronger affinity, quicker response, more obvious curative effect, long action time, good nighttime pressure control, low incidence of adverse reaction and the like, can obviously improve the medication compliance of patients, and further reduces the blood pressure level of the hypertension patients, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases in the middle and long term of the hypertension patients. Since the market comes, the strain is favored by first-line doctors in Europe and America and a plurality of hypertension patients, and the control rate of hypertension treatment of patients in Europe and America is expected to be further improved. However, due to the international pharmaceutical monopoly and dispute, the patent limit of novel angiotensin II receptor antagonist compounds and preparations (the 2025 expiry of azilsartan patent), the research and development thinking mode of most of pharmaceutical enterprises in China such as 'heavy simulation and light innovation', and the like, domestic patients cannot enjoy the drug product with better cost performance at present, most of the patients only can select the second generation ARB-valsartan produced and sold by the national norhua pharmaceutical company, but the clinical treatment effect of the valsartan is far lower than that of azilsartan medoxomil, and the treatment requirement of increasingly growing hypertension patients in China cannot be met completely.
The main routes reported by the synthetic literature of the azithromycin at home and abroad are as follows: taking a compound I or corresponding ethyl ester thereof as a key starting material, and condensing with hydroxylamine or hydroxylamine hydrochloride, hydroxylamine sulfuric acid and the like at high temperature to obtain a compound II for converting a nitrile group into corresponding oxime; the intermediate compound II reacts with carbonyl diimidazole, chloroformate and other reagents, carbonyl groups are introduced, and then azilsartan methyl ester is obtained through synchronous cyclization; finally, hydrolyzing to obtain the target product azilsartan. The total yield of the reported three-step reaction is 40-55%, and hydroxylamine used in the production has explosion risk at high temperature.
The literature: the journal of chemiman-hour, [ J ],2015,29 (8) and P10-13 disclose a preparation method of azilsartan, and the synthetic route is as follows:
the method needs to use highly toxic drugs: ethyl chloroformate, and the compound has a genotoxicity warning structure. Ethyl chloroformate can also react with conventional lower alcohol in the reaction process, and azilsartan produced by the route has potential safety hazard in view of the safety of medicines.
The literature: chemical intermediates, [ J ],2014,04, p 39-41 disclose a route for preparing azilsartan:
in the method, carbonyl diimidazole is used as a formylation reagent, azilsartan methyl ester is obtained through cyclization, and then the target product is obtained through hydrolysis. The route directly uses hydroxylamine with poor stability as a raw material, and the process stability is poor.
The literature: org. Process res. Dev. [ J ],2013,17,p77-86 and patent CN103664921A report the synthesis route of compound I-a (I corresponding to ethyl ester) as starting material:
the starting material of the route is less in commercial suppliers, and the hydroxylamine reaction at high temperature is adopted in the process, so that the explosion risk exists.
Therefore, in order to meet the demand of the current market for high-purity azilsartan, a process route which has high development efficiency and high product purity and is suitable for large-scale industrial production is required.
