Preparation method of rifamycin S sodium salt
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of compound purification and preparation, and particularly relates to a preparation method of rifamycin S sodium salt.
Background
Rifamycin antibiotics are broad-spectrum antibiotics, and the main varieties are fosinomycin sodium, rifampin, rifadine, rifabutin, rifaximin, rifapentine and the like. They have high activity against tubercle bacilli and can be used for the treatment of tuberculosis and other diseases caused by drug-resistant mycobacteria. Rifamycins exert their antibacterial effects by inhibiting the activity of bacterial RNA polymerase, thereby preventing bacterial RNA synthesis, and thus blocking protein synthesis, ultimately leading to bacterial death. Rifamycin is commonly used in conjunction with other antitubercular drugs (e.g., isoniazid, pyrazinamide, etc.) to reduce the production of resistant strains and to enhance therapeutic effects. Rifamycin is sometimes also used to treat other infections, such as brucellosis and lymphomatosis virus infections, due to its broad-spectrum antibacterial effect.
Different components of rifamycin, including A, B, C, D, E, O, S, SV, etc. can be obtained after fermentation of different strains.
Rifamycin is a semisynthetic antibiotic, and is typically obtained by fermentation to yield the parent rifamycin S sodium salt. By taking the rifamycin as an initiator, rifamycin sodium, rifampicin, rifapentine, rifabutin and the like are obtained through synthesis.
The rifamycin is prepared by fermenting Nocardia Mediterranean, filtering fermentation liquor to remove bacterial residues, proteins and other impurities through a plate frame, and obtaining rifamycin sodium salt from filtrate through two technological processes, namely (1) adding an oxidant into the filtrate for oxidization, then extracting with butyl acetate, demulsifying, washing, concentrating, crystallizing, centrifuging and drying extract to obtain rifamycin S-Na, (2) extracting the rifamycin SV in the filtrate with butyl acetate, then oxidizing to obtain the rifamycin S, and demulsifying, washing, concentrating and crystallizing the oxidized liquor to obtain the rifamycin S-Na. The two processes differ in that the order of extraction and oxidation is different, with the other steps being substantially identical.
However, in the process of removing bacterial residues by plate and frame filtration of fermentation liquor, fermentation liquor is usually hydraulically fed into a refined receiving tank, and is stirred by adding a flocculating agent. And pressing the plate frame into the filter. This process is for several hours. Bacteria die during the process of asphyxiation, decomposition and destruction, and abnormal metabolism. When the fermentation is abnormally and severely infected, the filtrate after plate and frame filtration can be subjected to further extraction. In this case, the filter is always completely or partially discarded.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide a preparation process of rifamycin S sodium salt with good process stability, simple operation and low cost.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the technical problem of providing a preparation method of rifamycin S sodium salt aiming at the defects of the prior art.
In order to solve the technical problems, the invention discloses a preparation method of rifamycin S sodium salt, which comprises the steps of sequentially oxidizing, acidifying, air-floating, standing and layering fermentation liquor containing the rifamycin SV, separating to remove acid water, adding an extractant for extraction, then carrying out solid-liquid separation, standing and layering the obtained liquor, removing an acid water layer, adding alkali liquor into the extractant layer, adding alkali to adjust pH, stirring for crystallization, separating and drying to obtain the rifamycin S sodium salt.
Wherein the fermentation broth comprising rifamycin SV may be derived from a fermentation plant, comprising mycelium, a medium and rifamycin SV. In some embodiments, the rifamycin SV. is typically present in an amount of 0.3% -0.6% and is dissolved in the fermentation broth. The mycelium and the solid components of the culture medium are about 2%, the other soluble substances are about 3%, and the balance is water.
The oxidizing agent used in the oxidation is any one or a mixture of more than one of hydrogen peroxide, bleaching powder, sodium hypochlorite, sodium nitrite, trichloroisocyanuric acid, potassium ferricyanide, chlorine dioxide or peracetic acid, the use amount of the oxidizing agent is calculated by mole number, the ratio of rifamycin s to the oxidizing agent is 1-5, and the oxidation time is 2-3 hours.
The acidulant used for acidification is any one of acetic acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or oxalic acid, and the acidulant is added to enable the pH value of the system to be 1-4.
The air floatation is to introduce compressed air and stir. Wherein, during the stirring process, vortex suction air and chemical reaction generated gas can also play the role of air floatation. The amount of air introduced by air floatation is calculated by enabling the air to be wrapped by the feed liquid, and the ventilation amount is 10-12 cubic meters of air per cubic meter of feed liquid per hour in general. During the oxidation and acidification, air is introduced, and the volume of the feed liquid is gradually increased in the process.
The extractant is any one of butyl acetate, chloroform or dichloromethane, and the dosage of the extractant is 10-20 times of the sv mass of the rifamycin.
The solid-liquid separation adopts any one of a horizontal decanter centrifuge, an automatic discharging centrifuge or a disc centrifuge.
Wherein the alkali liquid added in the extractant layer is sodium bicarbonate water solution, and the alkali for adjusting the pH is sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate.
Preferably, alkali is added to adjust the pH to 8-12, and stirring crystallization is carried out.
Preferably, after adding alkali to adjust pH, stirring and crystallizing, cooling to below 10 ℃ and separating by a centrifuge, and then drying under vacuum at below 100 ℃.
Compared with the prior art, the application has the following advantages:
(1) By directly adding an oxidant to the fermentation broth, rapid sterilization can be achieved, avoiding the undesirable related impurities of catabolism (i.e., homologs of the product such as norrifamycin S, norrifamycin S);
(2) When the fermentation is abnormally and severely infected, the conventional process can refine the filtrate after plate and frame filtration only by the next step, and the filtration is always completely or partially scrapped. The application can be normally refined without influence because of no filtering step by using an air floatation method;
(3) Compared with the traditional production method, the application removes the filtering link of the fermentation liquor, directly oxidizes the fermentation liquor, adopts an air floatation method to separate mycelium and rifamycin S, separates the waste water, then uses an extractant such as butyl acetate and methylene dichloride to extract the solid, and only has a small amount of waste water containing organic solvent. The traditional method has the advantages of high labor intensity and low efficiency in plate and frame filtration, and the filtrate is produced by 1.5-2 cubic meters per cubic meter of fermentation liquor. The application greatly reduces the production wastewater of rifamycin, and only 20% of the wastewater of the traditional method contains organic solvent. Meanwhile, the process is suitable for automatic production, and only 10-30% of the traditional process is used by personnel;
(4) The consumption of the extractant is also greatly reduced, and the extractant is not contacted with a large amount of water and is not dissolved in the water, so that the consumption of the extractant is obviously reduced to be less than 50 percent of that of the traditional method.
