Description
Verfahren zur Herstellung eines neuen Dexanaethason-Esters Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist ein Verfahren zur Herstellung des 21-Trimethylacetats des J1,-1-lda-Methyl-9a-fluor-pregnadien-llss,17a,21- triol-3,20-dions.
Beim bekannten Verfahren zur Herstellung von Trimethylacetaten von Steroiden, z. B. von Testo- steron, Cortison, Hydrocortison, Prednison und Prednisolon erfolgt die Umsetzung der freien Hy- droxyverbindung mit einem Trimethylessigsäurehalo- genid in Pyridin,
gegebenenfalls unter Zugabe eines Verdünnungsmittels. Dabei wird die Mischung der Reaktionskomponenten meist mehrere Stunden ste hengelassen, um eine vollständige Veresterung zu erreichen.
Es wurde nun überraschenderweise festgestellt, dass unter diesen bekannten Reaktionsbedingungen das Trimethylacetat des dl#4-16a-Methyl-9a-fluor- pregnadien-llss,17a,21-triol-3,20-dions nur in sehr schlechter Ausbeute gewonnen werden kann.
Eine genaue Untersuchung des Reaktionsverlaufs zeigt nämlich, dass unmittelbar nach beendetem Zusam mengeben der Reaktionskomponenten in Pyridin eine Probe der Reaktionslösung, auf Filtrierpapier abge tupft, nach den Methoden der Papierchromatogra- phie mit Blautetrazolium und verdünnter Natron lauge entwickelt (R. Neher, Chromatographie von Sterinen, Steroiden und verwandten Verbindungen, Amsterdam 1958, Seite 57), keine Blaufärbung zeigt.
Erst 35 Minuten nach dem Auftupfen entwickelt sich sukzessive eine Blaufärbung infolge allmählicher Verseifung des Trimethylacetats durch die Einwir kung des stark alkalischen Indikators. Im Vergleich dazu erhält man mit der genannten Nachweise- Methode mit Blautetrazolium und verdünnter Na tronlauge bei Verwendung einer 5 % igen Lösung des J 1,4-16a-Methyl-9a-fluor-pregnadien-1 lss,17a,21-triol- 3,20-dions in Pyridin innerhalb von 3-4 Sekunden eine tiefe Blaufärbung.
Eine Probe der Reaktions lösung, entnommen unmittelbar nach beendetem Zu sammengeben der Reaktionskomponenten, zeigt im Dünnschicht-Chromatogramm [R. Stahl, Chemiker- Zeitung 82, 323 (1958)] auf Silicagel und Entwick lung im System Benzol/Essigester <B>8.2</B> mit 50%iger Schwefelsäure (15 Minuten bei 90 ) als Indikator in Ultraviolett einen einheitlichen Flecken;
es lassen sich weder Ausgangsmaterial noch Nebenprodukte nachweisen. 5 Stunden nach beendetem Zusammen geben der Reaktionskomponenten entnommen, zeigt hingegen eine Probe der Reaktionslösung üm Dünn schicht-Chromatogramm bereits die Entstehung er heblicher Mengen von Nebenprodukten an. Nach einer Reaktionsdauer von 60 Stunden lässt sich durch Kristallisation überhaupt kein Trimethylacetat des Dexamethasons mehr isolieren. Nach dem im unten stehenden Vergleichsversuch beschriebenen Verfah ren erhält man ein von Dexamethason-trimethylacetat verschiedenes Reaktionsprodukt.
Es wurde nun gefunden, dass man das 21-Tri- methylacetat des Dexamethasons beim besprochenen Verfahren in ausgezeichneter Ausbeute erhalten kann, wenn man das überschüssige Acylierungsmittel sofort nach der erfolgten Umsetzung des Steroids zum Ester entfernt.
Das Verfahren der vorliegenden Er findung ist somit dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass man das 41.4-16a-Methyl-9a-fluor-pregnadien-11ss,17a,21- triol-3,20-dion in Pyridin mit überschüssigem Tri- methylessigsäurechlorid umsetzt und das überschüs sige Acylierungsmittel zerstört, sobald kein Aus gangsmaterial mehr nachweisbar ist.
Man gibt vorteilhaft das Al.4-16a-Methyl-9a- fluor-pregnadien-llss,17a-21-triol-3,20-dion langsam zu einer gekühlten Lösung von Trimethylessigsäure- chlorid in Pyridin und zerstört unmittelbar nach be endeter Zugabe das überschüssige Säurechlorid durch Zugabe von Wasser. Dabei wird gleichzeitig der gebildete Ester ausgefällt und so der Einwirkung des noch nicht zersetzten Säurechlorids entzogen.
Es ist aber auch möglich, das Säurechlorid durch Zu gabe eines primären Alkohols wie Methanol, Ätha- nol oder Propanol zu zerstören und dann durch Extraktion mit einem geeigneten Lösungsmittel z. B. Methylenchlorid, Chloroform, Benzol, Essigester oder dergleichen aufzuarbeiten.
Der verfahrensgemäss erhältliche Wirkstoff kann als Heilmittel z. B. in Form von Stoffmischungen ver wendet werden, die den genannten Wirkstoff sowie ei nen festen oder flüssigen Arzneimittelträger enthalten. Die Stoffmischungen können nach an sich bekann ten Methoden hergestellt werden, z. B. unter Ver wendung von für die parenterale, enterale oder topi- cale Applikation geeignetem pharmazeutischem, orga nischem oder anorganischem Trägermaterial. Es kommen solche Stoffe in Frage, die mit den neuen Verbindungen nicht reagieren, wie z. B.
Wasser, pflanzliche Öle, Benzylalkohole, Polyäthylenglykole, Gelatine, Milchzucker, Stärke, Magnesiumstearat, Talk, Vaseline, Cholesterin oder andere Arzneimit telträger. Man bereitet insbesondere Präparate für die parenterale Verabreichung, vorzugsweise Lösun gen, in erster Linie ölige oder wässerige Lösungen, ferner Suspensionen, Emulsionen oder Implantate; für die enterale Applikation können sinngemäss ausserdem Tabletten oder Dragees, für die topicale Anwendung ausserdem Salben oder Creams herge stellt werden.
Gegebenenfalls kann man die Präpa rate sterilisieren oder Hilfsstoffe, wie Konservierungs-# Stabilisierungs-, Netz- oder Emulgierungsmittel, Salze zur Veränderung des osmotischen Druckes oder Puf fer, zusetzen. Sie können auch andere therapeutisch wirksame Verbindungen enthalten. Ihre Herstellung erfolgt in bekannter Weise.
Die Temperaturen sind im nachfolgenden Bei spiel in Celsiusgraden angegeben.
<I>Beispiel</I> 400 cm3 reines, trockenes Pyridin werden unter Stickstoff auf 0 vorgekühlt; dazu lässt man unter Rühren und äusserem Kühlen innerhalb von 10 bis 12 Minuten 88,8 cm3 Trimethylessigsäurechlorid [Kp.
104-1041/2 (750 mm Hg), nDs = 1,4103, Schwefelgehalt 0,0145%1 bei 0 Innentemperatur zutropfen. Anschliessend wird eine Lösung von 40,0 g di.4-16a-Methyl-9a-fluor-pregnadien-11ss,17a, 21-trio1-3,20-dion in 400 cm3 reinem, trockenem Pyridin unter Rühren und äusserem Kühlen inner halb von 20 Minuten bei 0 Innentemperatur trop fenweise eingetragen. Die Reaktionslösung trübt sich dabei in zunehmendem Masse und Pyridin-Chlorhydrat kristallisiert aus.
Die Reaktionslösung wird sogleich nach beende tem Zusammengeben der Reaktionskomponenten un ter Rühren auf ein Gemisch aus 2000 g fein zer- stossenem, sauberem Eis und 2000 cms dest. Wasser gegossen, wobei das Reaktionsprodukt ausfällt. Man lässt das Eis unter Rühren innerhalb von 2-3 Stun den auftauen und nutscht das Produkt ab.

Process for the preparation of a new dexanaethasone ester The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of the 21-trimethylacetate of J1, -1-lda-methyl-9a-fluoro-pregnadiene-llss, 17a, 21-triol-3,20-dione .
In the known process for the preparation of trimethyl acetates of steroids, e.g. B. of testosterone, cortisone, hydrocortisone, prednisone and prednisolone, the conversion of the free hydroxy compound with a trimethyl acetic acid halide takes place in pyridine,
optionally with the addition of a diluent. The mixture of the reaction components is usually left to stand for several hours in order to achieve complete esterification.
It has now been found, surprisingly, that under these known reaction conditions the trimethyl acetate of dl # 4-16a-methyl-9a-fluoro-pregnadiene-llss, 17a, 21-triol-3,20-dione can only be obtained in very poor yield.
A precise examination of the course of the reaction shows that immediately after the reaction components have been combined in pyridine, a sample of the reaction solution, dabbed on filter paper, develops according to the methods of paper chromatography with blue tetrazolium and dilute sodium hydroxide solution (R. Neher, Chromatographie von Sterinen , Steroids and related compounds, Amsterdam 1958, page 57) shows no blue coloration.
Not until 35 minutes after dabbing does a blue color gradually develop as a result of the gradual saponification of the trimethylacetate as a result of the action of the strongly alkaline indicator. In comparison, the above-mentioned detection method with blue tetrazolium and dilute sodium hydroxide solution using a 5% solution of I 1,4-16a-methyl-9a-fluoro-pregnadiene-1 lss, 17a, 21-triol-3 , 20-dione in pyridine turns a deep blue color within 3-4 seconds.
A sample of the reaction solution, taken immediately after the end of the addition of the reaction components, shows in the thin-layer chromatogram [R. Stahl, Chemiker-Zeitung 82, 323 (1958)] on silica gel and development in the benzene / ethyl acetate system <B> 8.2 </B> with 50% sulfuric acid (15 minutes at 90) as an indicator in ultraviolet a uniform spot;
neither starting material nor by-products can be detected. 5 hours after the reaction components have ended, a sample of the reaction solution shows a thin-layer chromatogram, however, that considerable amounts of by-products are being formed. After a reaction time of 60 hours, no trimethylacetate of dexamethasone at all can be isolated by crystallization. A reaction product different from dexamethasone trimethylacetate is obtained by the method described in the comparative experiment below.
It has now been found that the 21-trimethyl acetate of dexamethasone can be obtained in excellent yield in the process discussed if the excess acylating agent is removed immediately after the conversion of the steroid to the ester has taken place.
The process of the present invention is thus characterized in that the 41.4-16a-methyl-9a-fluoro-pregnadiene-11ss, 17a, 21-triol-3,20-dione is reacted in pyridine with excess trimethylacetic acid chloride and the excess Sige acylating agents are destroyed as soon as starting material is no longer detectable.
It is advantageous to add the Al.4-16a-methyl-9a-fluoro-pregnadiene-llss, 17a-21-triol-3,20-dione slowly to a cooled solution of trimethylacetic acid chloride in pyridine and destroy it immediately after the addition is complete excess acid chloride by adding water. At the same time, the ester formed is precipitated and thus withdrawn from the action of the not yet decomposed acid chloride.
But it is also possible to destroy the acid chloride by adding a primary alcohol such as methanol, ethanol or propanol and then by extraction with a suitable solvent z. B. work up methylene chloride, chloroform, benzene, ethyl acetate or the like.
The active ingredient obtainable according to the method can be used as a remedy for. B. be used in the form of mixtures of substances that contain the active ingredient mentioned and egg NEN solid or liquid excipients. The mixtures of substances can be prepared by methods known per se, for. B. using a pharmaceutical, organic or inorganic carrier material suitable for parenteral, enteral or topical application. There are substances in question that do not react with the new compounds, such as. B.
Water, vegetable oils, benzyl alcohol, polyethylene glycols, gelatine, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, talc, petroleum jelly, cholesterol or other pharmaceutical carriers. In particular, preparations are prepared for parenteral administration, preferably solutions, primarily oily or aqueous solutions, and also suspensions, emulsions or implants; For enteral application, tablets or coated tablets can also be produced, for topical application, ointments or creams can also be produced.
If necessary, the preparation can be sterilized or auxiliaries such as preservatives # stabilizers, wetting or emulsifying agents, salts to change the osmotic pressure or buffers are added. They can also contain other therapeutically active compounds. They are produced in a known manner.
The temperatures are given in degrees Celsius in the example below.
<I> Example </I> 400 cm3 of pure, dry pyridine are pre-cooled to 0 under nitrogen; for this purpose, 88.8 cm3 of trimethyl acetic acid chloride [bp] are left with stirring and external cooling within 10 to 12 minutes.
Add 104-1041 / 2 (750 mm Hg), nDs = 1.4103, sulfur content 0.0145% 1 at 0 internal temperature. A solution of 40.0 g of di.4-16a-methyl-9a-fluoro-pregnadiene-11ss, 17a, 21-trio1-3,20-dione in 400 cm3 of pure, dry pyridine is then added while stirring and external cooling entered dropwise from 20 minutes at 0 internal temperature. The reaction solution becomes increasingly cloudy and pyridine chlorohydrate crystallizes out.
Immediately after the reaction components have been combined with stirring, the reaction solution is poured onto a mixture of 2000 g of finely crushed, clean ice and 2000 cms of distilled water. Poured water, whereby the reaction product precipitates. The ice is allowed to thaw within 2-3 hours while stirring and the product is suction filtered.
The crystals are briefly stirred in succession with dilute hydrochloric acid and water, each time suction filtered, finally washed neutral with plenty of water and dried in vacuo at 70-80. The yield is 46.9 g of 41.4-16a-methyl-9a-fluoro-pregnadiene-lss, 17a, 21-triol-3,20-dione-21-tri-methyl acetate, corresponding to <B> 96.6% </ B> the theory, based on the unesterified steroid alcohol.
After recrystallization from chloroform-benzene 45.1 g of Al.4-16ss-methyl-.9a-fluoro-pregnadiene-11ss, 17a, 21-triol-3,20-dione-21-trimethylacetate = 92.9 of theory are obtained . F. P. 262-263.

<I> Comparative experiment </I> 10.0 g of di.4-16a-methyl-9a-fluoro-pregnadiene-llss, 17a, 21-triel-3,20-dione are mixed according to the previous example with 22.2 cm3 of trimethyl acetic acid chloride in Pyridine implemented. The reaction solution is left to stand under nitrogen for 60 hours. The pyridine is then largely evaporated off in vacuo using a rotating thin-film evaporator, the residue is taken up in chloroform, and the solution is washed with dilute hydrochloric acid and water, dried and evaporated.
The partially crystalline residue does not give trimethyl acetate of 41.4-16a-methyl-9a-fluoro-pregnadiene-llss, 17a, 21-triol-3,20-dione, but 2.6 g of crystals from FP 256 after redissolving from benzene -258.
