背景技术 Background technique
(6S)-5-甲酰 -四氢叶酸, 化学名称为 N-5-甲酰基 (6S)-5,6,7,8-四氢 叶酸, 即 (6S)-5-CHO-THF, 简称 (6S)-亚叶酸, 是天然存在 (例如肝中) 的构型。 其钙盐结构式如下- (6S)-5-formyl-tetrahydrofolate, chemical name N-5-formyl (6S)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate, ie (6S)-5-CHO-THF, abbreviation (6S)-leucovorin, a configuration that occurs naturally (eg, in the liver). Its calcium salt structure is as follows -
目前, 市场上供应的药物亚叶酸钙全是 (6R,S)构型的亚叶酸的钙 盐, 医药学研究表明: 化学合成的非对映体 (6R,S)-亚叶酸钙在治疗癌 症中是天然 (6S)-亚叶酸钙的一半,而毒性却是二倍。(RM.Sirotanketal., Biochemical Pharmacology 28,2993-2997, 1979;C.Temple etal.,Cancer Treatment Reports 65, 1117- 1119, 1981 )。 At present, the commercially available drug leucovorin is a calcium salt of folinic acid in the (6R, S) configuration, and medical research has shown that: chemically synthesized diastereomer (6R, S)-colate is used in the treatment of cancer. It is half of natural (6S)-folate, but the toxicity is twice. (RM. Sirotanketal., Biochemical Pharmacology 28, 2993-2997, 1979; C. Temple et al., Cancer Treatment Reports 65, 1117-1119, 1981).
因此, 在合成 (6R,S)-5-CHO-THF-Ca时, 拆分获得与天然的活性 物质一致的 (6S)-5-CHO-THF及其盐的十分必要的。 Therefore, in the synthesis of (6R,S)-5-CHO-THF-Ca, it is necessary to obtain (6S)-5-CHO-THF and its salt in agreement with the natural active substance.
为 了 从(6R,S)-5-CHO-THF 拆分得 到 (6S)-5-CHO-THF , Hans.R.Muller等人 (U.S. 5,010,194,1991)在 (6R,S)-5-CHO-THF盐水溶 液中加入无机酸或有机酸的水溶液或碱金属, 碱土金属盐或铵盐后, 由 占优势 的 非对 映 体(6R)-5-CHO-THF 盐组 成相 应 的 (6R)-5-CHO-THF盐, 将析出的相应的 (6R)-5-CHO-THF盐过滤除去, 再用离析方法将滤液中 的(6S 5-CHO-THF 盐得到固体 (6S)-5-CHO-THF盐。 而该专利中提到的 "铵盐"仅为: 吡咯垸鐺, 哌啶鎗和吗啉鎿盐。 In order to obtain (6S)-5-CHO-THF from (6R,S)-5-CHO-THF, Hans. R. Muller et al. (US 5,010,194,1991) adding an aqueous solution of an inorganic or organic acid or an alkali metal, alkaline earth metal or ammonium salt to an aqueous solution of (6R,S)-5-CHO-THF salt, The advantageous diastereomer (6R)-5-CHO-THF salt constitutes the corresponding (6R)-5-CHO-THF salt, and the corresponding (6R)-5-CHO-THF salt precipitated is removed by filtration and reused. Separation method The 6S 5-CHO-THF salt in the filtrate gave a solid (6S)-5-CHO-THF salt. The "ammonium salt" mentioned in the patent is only: pyrrole oxime, piperidine gun and鎿 鎿 salt.
