Technical Field

The invention relates to a preparation method of minocycline, belonging to the technical field of drug synthesis.

Background

The chemical name of minocycline is: (4S,4aS,5aR,12aS) -4, 7-bisdimethylamino-3, 10,12,12 a-tetrahydroxy-1, 11-dioxo-1, 4,4a,5,5a,6,11,12 a-octahydrotetracene-2-carboxamide, having the following structural formula:

4, 7-bis (dimethylamino) -1,4,4a,5,5a,6,11,12 a-octahydro-3, 10,12,12 a-tetrahydroxy-1, 11-dioxo-2-tetracarboxamide; minocycline; 7-dimethylamino-6-demethyl-6-deoxytetracycline, CAS: 10118-90-8.

Minocycline, also known as minocycline or mecycline, is a broad-spectrum antibacterial tetracycline antibiotic. Can be combined with tRNA to achieve the bacteriostatic effect. Compared with the similar medicines, minocycline has a wider antibacterial spectrum and bacteriostatic activity. The antibacterial spectrum is similar to that of tetracycline, and the antibacterial composition has strong effects on gram-positive bacteria including tetracycline-resistant staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus and neisseria gonorrhoeae in gram-negative bacteria; the effect on gram-negative bacilli is generally weak; has better inhibiting effect on chlamydia trachomatis and ureaplasma urealyticum.

The method for synthesizing minocycline from sancycline mainly comprises the following steps:

1. direct nitration process: the 7-position isomer and the 9-position isomer are obtained after the sancycline is nitrified by nitric acid/sulfuric acid, the 9-position isomer is easier to generate, and the 7-position nitration product is separated out through forming sulfate and is reduced and methylated to obtain the minocycline.

2. Tertiary butyl protection nitration method: the method comprises the following steps of reacting the sancycline with tert-butanol under the catalysis of strong acid to obtain a 9-position protection product, then carrying out nitration position generation at a 7-position, reducing and methylating a nitro group, and removing a protective agent under the catalysis of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid to obtain minocycline.

3. Diazotization method of chlorine protection: firstly, protecting 11a site with a halogenating agent, then reacting with a substituted phenyl diazonium salt to obtain a 7-site addition product, and carrying out catalytic hydrogenation and methylation on the product to obtain minocycline; the method needs additional protection of 11-position by NCS, and has the defects of instability of diazo and azo compounds, column purification of products and the like.

4. Azo addition reduction method: under the strong acid condition (concentrated sulfuric acid, methanesulfonic acid or trifluoroacetic acid), the C-7 of the sancycline and the dibenzyl azodicarboxylate is an addition product, and the intermediate is subjected to catalytic hydrogenation or disulfide reduction to obtain a product; the method is difficult to apply to industry due to the safety and cost problems of the dibenzyl azodicarboxylate and the difficulty of later purification.
