Patent CN101668768A discloses a preparation method and a purification method of regadenoson, wherein the synthetic route of the preparation method of the crude product is shown in the above reaction equation, and the patent also discloses a purification method of regadenoson, which specifically comprises the following steps: dissolving the crude product of the regadenoson in dimethyl sulfoxide to obtain a solution, maintaining the temperature at 78-88 ℃, adding the solution into pure water to form slurry, filtering the slurry, washing a filter cake by water and ethanol in sequence, and finally drying to obtain the regadenoson product.
However, the inventor of the present application repeated the above-mentioned methods for synthesizing and purifying CN102260311A and CN101668768A, and found that the crude regadenoson product contains an impurity with a content of > 0.1%, so that the final regadenoson product does not meet the impurity limit standard of ICH Q3a (note: the standard requires that the content of single impurity of the drug is less than 0.1%), and cannot meet the quality requirement of the drug. Therefore, there is a need in the art for a purification method of regadenoson to solve the above technical problems.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the technical problem of providing a purification method of regadenoson, aiming at overcoming the defects that the regadenoson product obtained by the existing purification method of the regadenoson crude product with impurity A as the main impurity has high impurity A content and poor quality, the regadenoson product with impurity A content less than 0.1 percent and meeting the medicine quality requirement and the like. The purification method can efficiently remove the impurity A in the crude product of the regadenoson, the content of the impurity A in the obtained regadenoson product is below 0.10 percent, the lowest content is below 0.04 percent, the HPLC purity of the regadenoson product is further improved, and the HPLC purity of the finally obtained regadenoson product is above 99.80 percent; the product has good quality and completely meets the impurity limit standard of ICH Q3 a.
The inventors isolated, purified and structurally identified impurities in the regadenoson products obtained in the methods disclosed in the above-mentioned CN102260311A and CN101668768A patents, and confirmed that the structural formula of the impurities is as follows, and named as impurity a:
after the intensive research and analysis of the inventors, the cause of the impurity a is mainly: in both the above processes for the preparation of regadenoson, compound 4 undergoes a hydrolysis side reaction simultaneously with the aminolysis in aqueous methylamine solution, thus producing impurity a with properties very similar to those of the regadenoson product.
The inventor prepares crude regadenoson HPLC purity of 99.58% and impurity A content of 0.35% according to the two synthetic routes; repeating the two purification methods to obtain the product of the regadenoson, wherein the HPLC purity of the product of the regadenoson is 99.60 percent, and the content of the impurity A is 0.33 percent; it can be seen that the above two purification methods have difficulty in removing impurity a. Moreover, the main impurity in the regadenoson product prepared by the two synthesis methods is the impurity A, and the existence of the impurity A has great influence on the quality of the regadenoson product, so that the effective control and removal of the impurity are the key points for obtaining the regadenoson product meeting the quality requirement of medicines.
