Definitions
- the present invention relates to a novel process for the preparation of ursodeoxycholic acid disulphate and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, particularly the alkali metal salts.
- Ursodeoxycholic acid disulphate and its trisodium salt are described in EP-A-0 117 570; they are compounds derived from ursodeoxycholic acid which, unlike ursodeoxycholic acid, are very water-soluble and are therefore particularly useful in the preparation of liquid pharmaceutical formulations.
- the above-mentioned compounds have a therapeutic activity, similar to or in some cases better than that of ursodeoxycholic acid, especially in the treatment of qualitative or quantitative changes in the bile-forming function, including the forms with bile supersaturated with cholesterol, in combating the formation of cholesterol calculi or for creating conditions suitable for dissolving them.
- ursodeoxycholic acid disulphate (referred to hereinafter simply as "ursosulphate” ) can be prepared by reacting ursodeoxycholic acid in anhydrous pyridine with gaseous sulphuric anhydride; however, a preparation process that uses the pyridine-sulphuric anhydride complex as the sulphation agent is preferred.
- the ursodeoxycholic acid is dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide and reacted with the pyridine-sulphuric anhydride complex in a molar ratio of 1.95-2.1 moles of the complex to 1 mole of ursodeoxycholic acid in a temperature range of from 0 to 100°C.
- the resulting oily residue constituted by free ursosulphate acid is neutralized using an aqueous, alcoholic or hydroalcoholic sodium hydroxide solution and the corresponding trisodium salt is precipitated in crystalline form by the addition of acetone.
- the addition of sodium hydroxide in aqueous methanolic or ethanolic solution to the reaction product in oily form involves, presumably owing to the highly exothermic acid-base reaction between soda and sulphuric pyridine (which is not completely eliminated during the evaporation of the solvent) , an increase in temperature with a high risk of decomposition of the desired end product .
- the object of the present invention is to provide an improved process suitable for obtaining ursodeoxycholic acid disulphate and its salts in a highly purified form and with high yields .
- the invention relates to a process for the preparation of ursodeoxycholic acid disulphate and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, characterized in that it comprises the step of reacting ursodeoxycholic acid dissolved in a solvent, selected from the group consisting of dimethylformamide, pyridine, acetonitrile, dimethyl sulphoxide, octanoic acid, acetic anhydride and their mixtures, with a sulphation agent selected from sulphuric anhydride, sulphuric acid and complexes containing sulphuric anhydride in a molar ratio of sulphonic group to ursodeoxycholic acid of from 2.5 to 4.
- a solvent selected from the group consisting of dimethylformamide, pyridine, acetonitrile, dimethyl sulph
- the reaction is carried out at a temperature of from 0 to 100°C, preferably at an ambient temperature of approximately 20-30°C, preferably for a period of from 4 to 24 hours, under intense agitation.
- the reaction mixture is diluted with water in order to hydrate the sulphation agent ; the amount of water added is preferably equal to the amount necessary to bring the exothermic hydration reaction to completion.
- Alkali metal hydroxide in aqueous solution is then added to obtain a pH of preferably from 7 to 8, taking care that the temperature of the reaction mixture does not exceed 50°C, preferably 30°C.
- the solution is then concentrated, preferably under vacuum, keeping the temperature below 50°C, and the reaction product (constituted by the triple alkali metal salt of ursodeoxycholic acid disulphate) is precipitated by the addition of a solvent, which is preferably selected from acetone, alcohols or other alkanes, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or dimethyl- formamide, and recovered.
- a solvent which is preferably selected from acetone, alcohols or other alkanes, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or dimethyl- formamide, and recovered.
- the crude reaction product is further purified by crystallization in a water/methanol solution and precipitation in acetone.
- the process permits the manufacture of the alkali metal salt of ursodeoxycholic acid disulphate in a highly purified form with yields higher than 80% based on the ursodeoxycholic acid.
- the solution is then concentrated to half its volume under vacuum, keeping the temperature below 50°C (internal temperature) . While still maintaining the temperature at from 40 to 50°C, 2250 I of acetone are added and, when the addition of acetone is complete, the mixture is maintained at 50°C for 20 minutes and then cooled to 20°C.
- the crude trisodium salt of the ursodeoxycholic acid disulphate precipitates from the reaction medium and is recovered by centrifuging and dried at 40°C for 12 hours to give 330 kg of crude product.
- the 330 kg of the trisodium salt so obtained are placed in a 4000 I , reactor where 1700 I of methanol and 900 i of water are added thereto. The whole is maintained under agitation for 30 minutes at ambient temperature.
