Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a novel and cost-effective
method for the preparation of Raltegravir of formula (I) conforming
to regulatory specifications. Specifically, the method circumvents
the formation of associated impurities, which are encountered in
prior art methods.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Raltegravir of formula (I ), chemically known as
N-[(4-fluoropheny)methyl]-1,6-dihydro-5-hydroxy-1-methyl-2-[1methyl-1-[{(-
5-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)
carbonylamino]ethyl]-6-oxo-4-pyrimidinecarboxamide is a human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) integrase strand transfer inhibitor
which in combination with other antiretroviral agents is indicated
for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adult patients already
undergoing treatment and are having evidence of viral replication
and HIV-1 strains resistant to multiple antiretroviral agents. The
potassium salt of Raltegravir having proprietary name Isentress is
administered orally as a tablet of 400 mg strength.
##STR00001##
Raltegravir (I)
Raltegravir Potassium (Ia)
[0003] Various researchers have attempted to synthesize the active
pharmaceutical ingredient of formula (I) and its pharmaceutically
acceptable salt. Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 2008, 51, 5843-5855
as well as WO 2006060730 discloses a method for the preparation of
raltegravir starting from 2-amino-2-methylpropanenitrile. However,
the method has a serious drawback, involving formation of up to 22%
of O-methyl impurity during the N-methylation of the pyrimidinone
ring with Mg(OCH.sub.3).sub.2. The removal of O-methylated impurity
requires several purifications involving recrystallization and/or
column chromatography, which ultimately reduces the overall yield
considerably. Further, the synthetic route also results in the
formation of another associated impurity during the preparation of
raltegravir free base due to the O-acylation of the penultimate
intermediate with oxadiazole carbonylchoride. Thus the formation of
several associated impurities and their removal either by
chromatographic purification or by successive crystallizations
results in loss of yield which ultimately makes the process
unviable for commercial use.
[0004] Organic Process Research & Development 2011, 15, 73-83
provides another circuitous method for preparation of raltegravir,
wherein two methods have been disclosed for the preparation of
hydroxy pyrimidinone. The document mentions that the yield of
hydroxy pyrimidinone is dependent on the E/Z configuration of the
compound obtained by reaction of amidoxime with dimethyl acetylene
dicarboxylate. Higher yield (72%) is obtained with the Z isomer
while lower yield (48%) is obtained with the corresponding
E-isomer. Further, the method involves additional steps of
protection and deprotection of the amino and hydroxyl group
thereby, making the method lengthy and less attractive for
industrial scale.
[0005] The reference also reports another method for the
methylation of hydroxy pyrimidinone with trimethyl sulfoxonium
iodide/magnesium hydroxide without any mention about the reaction
solvent and discloses that the reaction provides .apprxeq.99% of
the desired N-methyl compound after prolonged heating of the
reaction mixture at high temperatures, which in turn is likely to
give rise to impurities.
[0006] Thus the prior art methods are associated with lengthy and
circuitous synthetic routes, which not only consume more time for
each batch run but also generates associated impurities thereby
requiring additional steps of purification. Regulatory authorities
all over the world have very stringent norms for permissible limits
of such impurities in either the active ingredient or the final
formulation.
[0007] Therefore, it was imperative for the synthetic chemists to
control such impurities below detectable limits during synthesis
and develop a route involving a cost-effective process which did
not require additional steps of purification. Hence, to overcome
the prior art drawbacks, the present inventors developed a new
synthetic route for raltegravir, which involves lesser number of
synthetic steps, controls the level of undesired impurities below
permissible limits and is cost-effective, environmental friendly
for convenient implementation on an industrial scale.
OJECTS OF THE INVENTION
[0008] The main object of the invention is to provide an
industrially viable method for preparing raltegravir and its
pharmaceutically acceptable salts, conforming to regulatory
specification.
[0009] Another object of the present invention is to provide a
novel synthetic route for preparation of raltegravir and its
pharmaceutically acceptable salts, which circumvents the formation
of impurities and undesired isomers encountered in prior art.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0018] The present inventors have developed a novel synthetic route
which overcomes the serious drawbacks of prior art such as: [0019]
(i) formation of undesired O-methylated derivatives during
methylation of the pyrimidinone nitrogen; [0020] (ii) circumventing
the preparation of a mixture of E/Z isomer obtained by reaction of
an amidoxime derivative with dialkyl acetylene dicarlomylate;
[0021] (iii) reducing the number of steps for preparation of
raltegravir thereby making the process cost effective and
considerably reducing the time taken for each batch run and [0022]
(iv) obtaining raltegravir of desired purity without the formation
of undesired impurity formed in the prior art.
[0023] One embodiment of the present invention relates to a novel
synthetic route for preparation of raltegravir and its salts. The
synthetic sequence for preparation of raltegravir is represented in
Scheme I.
##STR00002##
[0024] The present invention relates to a novel synthetic route for
preparation of raltegravir comprising reaction of
2-amino-2-methylpropanenitrile with oxadiazole carbonyl chloride in
presence of a base. The latter reagent acts as a protecting group
for the amino functional group and does not require to be
deprotected at any stage of raltegravir synthesis.
[0025] The protection of the amino group which is carried out in
presence of a base utilizes a halogenated hydrocarbon as solvent
such as dichloromethane, dichloroethane, chloroform etc. The
solvent is preferably dichloromethane.
[0026] The base utilized is selected from an organic base like
N-methyl morpholine (NMM), pyridine, N,N-dimethylamino pyridine
(DMAP) etc. The amount of base used is in the range of 0.99 to 1.50
moles per mole of 2-amino-2-methylpropanenitrile used in the
reaction.
[0027] After completion of reaction at a temperature ranging from
-5.degree. C. to +10.degree. C., the reaction mixture was
concentrated and the
N-(2-cyanopropan-2-yl)-5-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carboxamide (II)
was separated out from the residue by addition of an alcohol such
as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol to the residue.
N-(2-cyanopropan-2-yl)-5-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carboxamide (II)
is obtained with yield in the range of 90 to 95%.
[0028] The amino protected
N-(2-cyanopropan-2-yl)-5-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carboxamide (II)
is then treated with a hydroxylamine of formula (IIIa) or its
methyl derivative of formula (IIIb) to give the respective
amidoxime
N-[(1Z)-1-amino-1-(hydroxyimino)-2-methylpropan-2-yl]-5-methyl-1,3,4-oxad-
iazole-2-carboxamide (IVa) or imine derivative
N-{1-[hydroxyl(methyl)amino]-1-imino-2-methylpropan-2-yl}-5-methyl-1,3,4--
oxadiazole-2-carboxamide (IVb).
[0029] The reaction was carried out in alcohol as solvent. The
alcohol was selected from the group comprising of methanol,
ethanol, isopropanol etc,
[0030] Hydroxylamine (IIIa) or N-methyl hydroxylamine (IIb) was
added to the mixture and the resultant mixture heated at 45 to
60.degree. C. till completion of reaction. The reaction mixture was
cooled to 0.degree. C. and diluted with a non-polar solvent
selected from the group comprising of an aliphatic hydrocarbon,
aromatic hydrocarbon, which in turn was selected from the group
comprising of hexane, cyclohexane, heptane, toluene, xylene
etc.
[0031] The product of formula (IVa) or (IVb) separating out
quantitatively was filtered and dried.
[0032]
N-[(1Z)-1-amino-1-(hydroxyimino)-2-methylpropan-2-yl]-5-methyl-1,3,-
4-oxadiazole-2-carboxamide (IVa) was then treated with dialkyl
acetylene dicarboxylate and cyclized to provide pyrimidinone methyl
2-(2-(5-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carboxamido)propan-2-yl)-1,6-dihydro-5--
hydroxy-6-oxopyrimidine-4-carboxylate (Va).
[0033] The compound of formula (IVa) was added to an alcohol
selected from the group comprising of methanol, ethanol,
isopropanol etc and refluxed till completion of reaction.
[0034] The mixture was cooled between 0 and 30.degree. C. and
dimethylacetylene dicarboxylate was added gradually to the
mixture.
[0035] The amount in moles of dimethylacetylene dicarboxylate added
with respect to compound of formula (IVa) was between 0.9 moles and
2.0 moles.
[0036] The reaction mixture was stirred for 2-3 hours and
concentrated. The residue was diluted with an aromatic hydrocarbon
selected from the group comprising of toluene, xylene etc and
heated between a temperature of 110.degree. C. and 140.degree. C.
till completion of reaction.
[0037] The mixture was then cooled between 50 and 70.degree. C. and
diluted with a mixture of an alcohol and ether.
[0038] The alcohol was selected from the group comprising of
methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol etc while the ether was
selected from the group comprising of dimethoxyethane,
tetrahydrofuran, diisopropyl ether, methyl tert-butyl ether
etc.
[0039] Compound of formula (Va) thus separating out was filtered
and dried.
[0040]
Methyl-2-(2-(5-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carboxamido)propan-2-yl)-1-
,6-dihydro-5-hydroxy-6-oxopyrimidine-4-carboxylate (Va) on
amidation with p-fluorobenzyl amine in presence of a base gave
N-(4-fluorobenzyl)-2-(2-(5-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carboxamido)propan-2-
-yl)-1,6-dihydro-5-hydroxy-6-oxopyrimidine-4-carboxamide (VI).
[0041] The compound of formula (Va) was converted to raltegravir by
suspending it in an alcohol selected from the group comprising of
methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol etc.
[0042] 4-Fluorobenzyl amine was added to the mixture and stirred
between 75-90.degree. C.
[0043] The amount of 4-Fluorobenzyl amine added was between 1.0
mole and 2.5 moles per mole of compound of formula (Va).
[0044] After completion of the reaction, the mixture was cooled
between 55 and 75.degree. C. and quenched with aqueous acetic acid.
The demethylated Raltegravir intermediate of formula (VI) separated
out, which was filtered and washed.
[0045]
N-(4-fluorobenzyl)-2-(2-(5-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carboxamido)pr-
opan-2-yl)-1,6-dihydro-5-hydroxy-6-oxopyrimidine-4-carboxamide (VI)
was then alkylated with a methylating agent to give raltegravir of
formula (I).
[0046] The methylating agent was selected from the group comprising
of methyl iodide, trimethylsulfoxonium iodide, formic
acid/formaldehyde, methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate, dimethyl
sulfate, dimethyl zinc, trimethyloxonium tetrafluroborate.
[0047] In a specific embodiment, the raltegravir intermediate of
formula (VI) was treated with a methylating agent such as
trimethysulfoxonium iodide at 100.degree. C. till completion of
reaction and cooled between 5 and 25'C. The reaction mixture was
quenched with aqueous sodium bisulfate and extracted with a
chlorinated solvent such as dichloromethane. The organic layer was
separated, concentrated and the residue was crystallized from
aqueous methanol to provide raltegravir (I) having the desired
purity.
[0048] Among the advantages of the novel route of synthesis of
raltegravir is the regioselective methylation of
N-(4-fluorobenzyl)-2-(2-(5-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carboxamido)propan-2-
-yl)-1,6-dihydro-5-hydroxy-6-oxopyrimidine-4-carboxamide (VI)
obtained by amidation of
methyl-2-(2-(5-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carboxamido)propan-2-yl)-1,6-dih-
ydro-5-hydroxy-6-oxopyrimidine-4-carboxylate (Va) with
p-fluorobenzyl amine. The methylation reaction provides
regioselectivity of more than 99% as against methylation of oxygen
at 6.sup.th position, thereby resulting in a higher yield of more
than 90%. The yield for the methylation reaction is in the range of
88 to 90%.
[0049] On the other hand, prior art methods provide a 7:3 ratio of
the 1-nitrogen methylated: 6-oxygen methylated product after
methylation.
[0050] Further, the protection of 5-hydroxy group with pivaloyl
chloride or benzoic anhydride before methylation reaction is
avoided. The prior art method requires additional step for
deprotection which increase the cost and time for each batch
run.
[0051] Thus, the invention is free from the additional steps of
protection and deprotection of amino protecting group and also
provides a simple, economically and efficient method for preparing
raltegravir with desired purity.
[0052] The preparation of pyrimidinone methyl
2-(2-(5-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carboxamido)propan-2-yl)-1,6-dihydro-5--
hydroxy-6-oxopyrimidine-4-carboxylate (Va), by treating with
diallyl acetylene dicarboxylate and cyclizing has an advantage over
prior art, as the yields were increased by 10 to 15%.
[0053] Thus, the present invention based on the above advantages
satisfies the need for, developing an alternate synthetic route for
raltegravir which has minimum number of steps and cost effective
and environmental friendly and easily implemented industrially.
[0054] Raltegravir (I) thus obtained has purity above 99.5% with an
over all yield ranging from 55 to 58% based on the starting
material.
[0055] The present invention is a novel synthetic route for the
preparation of raltegravir which has the following advantages over
prior art methods: [0056] The present synthetic route avoids the
use of protection and deprotection steps of amine group as used in
the prior art methods; [0057] Increase in the yield of
pyrimidinone, methyl
2-(2-(5-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carboxamido)propan-2-yl)-1,6-dihydro-5--
hydroxy-6-oxo pyrimidines-4-carboxylate (Va), an important
intermediate for the synthesis of raltegravir; [0058] Methylation
of N
-(4-fluorobenzyl)-2-(2-(5-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carboxamido)propan-2--
yl)-1,6-dihydro-5-hydroxy-6-oxopyrimidine-4-carboxamide (VI) at
nitrogen reveals regioselectivity of more than 99% over oxygen
methylation, [0059] Synthetic route is cast-effective,
environmentally friendly and easily implemented on an industrial
scale.
[0060] The principles, preferred embodiments and modes of operation
of the present invention have been described in the foregoing
specification. The invention which is intended to be protected
herein, however should not to be construed to be limited to the
particular forms disclosed, since these are to be regarded as
illustrative rather than restrictive. Variations and changes may be

N-(4-fluorobenzyl)-2-(2-(5-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carboxamido)
propan-2-yl)-1,6-dihydro-5-hydroxy-6-oxopyrimidine-4-carboxamide
(VI) (50 gms), magnesium hydroxide (13.9 gms) trimethylsulfoxonium
iodide (52.4 gms) and water (1.3 ml) were heated to 100.degree. C.
for 7 hour. The reaction was cooled to 20.degree. C. and stirred
for 15 minutes. An aqueous solution of sodium bisulfate (2M; 5 ml)
was added and stirred for 30 to 45 minutes at 25 to 35.degree. C.,
reaction mass was extracted with dichloromethane (400 ml) and
solvent concentrated under reduced pressure. The product was
isolated by crystallization from mixture of methanol-water (1:1).
The resultant slurry was filtered and washed with mixture of
methanol-water (50 ml) and dried to give Raltegravir (I).
