摘要
目的对组胺H3受体拮抗剂/反向激动剂pitolisant进行合成工艺研究。方法以对氯氯苄、丙二酸二乙酯为起始原料,经过缩合、水解、脱羧、还原、酯化、取代反应制得pitolisant。结果与结论经过6步反应合成目标化合物pitolisant,其结构经1H-NMR及MS确证。对其中多步反应条件进行了工艺考察及优化,总收率为31.4%(以对氯氯苄计)。
Pitolisant, discovered by Bioprojet,is an orally bioavailable histamine H3 receptor competitive antagonist and inverse agonist in phase Ⅲ clinical studies for the oral treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness in parkinson's disease patients. It will probably be the first histamine H3 receptor antagonist/inverse agonist on sale in the future. According to the synthetic method of pitolisant in patent,its synthetic route was established,and the synthetic process was investigated and optimized thoroughly. Starting from 4-chlorobenzyl chloride and diethyl malonate, the key intermediate 3-(4-chlorophenyl) propyl methanesulfonate was obtained by the steps of condensation, hydrolization, decarbolization, reduction and esterification. Another key intermediate 3-(piperidin-1-yl) propan-1-ol was prepared from methyl 3-chloropropanoate via reduction and condensation. Then 3-(4-chlorophenyl) propyl methanesulfonate was condensated with 3-( piperidin-1-yl ) propan-1-ol to give pitolisant and the overall yield was 31.4% (calculated by 4-chlorobenzyl chloride). Its structure and some intermediates were confirmed by 1H-NMR and MS. In this procedure, the yield of intermediate 3- (4-chlorophenyl) propanoic acid, was increased by 15 %, intermediate 3- ( piperidin-1 -yl) propan- 1-ol, was obtained in a shortened reaction time by adding a catalytic amount of PEG 400. The improved synthetic process is more convenient for industrial application.
