Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improved method for selectively preparing 3-oxo-4-aza-5 ⁇ -androstane compound under mild conditions.
- Finasteride (17 ⁇ -(N-tert-butylcarbamoyl)-5 ⁇ -4-aza-androst-l-en-3-on), the compound of formula (II) having an androstane backbone, is effective in treating benign prostatic hypertrophy and androgenetic alopecia:
- Benign prostatic hypertrophy and androgenetic alopecia are caused by binding of 5 ⁇ -dihydrotestosterone (DHT) derived from testosterone to androgen receptor.
- DHT 5 ⁇ -dihydrotestosterone
- 5 ⁇ -dihydrotestosterone is mediated by testosterone 5 ⁇ -reductase which is inhibited by finasteride.
- Such inhibition of 5 ⁇ -dihydrotestosterone by finasteride results in rapid recovery of prostate and increased hair growth.
- Finasteride thus is effective to benign prostatic hypertrophy and good agent for treating androgenic alopecia which exhibits only low, temporary side effects, and it is the only orally administrable among the two hair-growth agents approved by FDA of the United Sates.
- Finasteride can be conventionally prepared by converting the carboxylic group of the 17 ⁇ -position of 3-oxo-4-aza-5 ⁇ -androstane-17 ⁇ -carboxylic acid of formula (I) into a t-butylcarbamoyl group and then carrying out dehydrogenation at the 1,2-positions, or carrying out dehydrogenation at the 1,2-positions and then converting the 17 ⁇ -position carboxylic group into a t-butylcarbamoyl group:
- 3-oxo-4-aza-5 ⁇ -androstane-17 ⁇ -carboxylic acid of formula (I) is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,760,071 and the J. Med. Chem. 29, 2298 (1986), wherein the 3-oxo-4-aza-5-androstene compound of formula (III) is reduced with the hydrogen in the presence of a Pt0 2 catalyst under a hydrogen atmosphere of 40psi to produce the compound of formula (I).
- FIG. 1 a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) scan of the compound of formula (I) prepared in accordance with the inventive method
- FIG. 2 an HPLC scan of the compound of formula (I) prepared in
- FIG. 3 an HPLC scan of the compound of formula (I) prepared in Comparative Example 2 using formic acid and methylformamide.
- the compound of formula (III) used as a starting material of the present invention can be prepared by a conventional method (U.S. Patent No. 4,760,071 and the J. Med. Chem. 29, 2298 (1986)).
- the compound of formula (I) can be prepared by dissolving the compound of formula (III) in a mixture of formic acid and an alkanediol, adding activated zinc thereto, and heating the resulting mixture.
- formic acid may be used in an amount of 3 to 30ml, preferably 5 to 15ml based on l.Og of the compound of formula (III); and the alkanediol, in an amount of 2 to 20ml, preferably 5 to 10ml, based on l.Og of the compound of formula (III).
- the alkanediol which may be used in the present invention includes ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,2-butanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 1,4-butanediol and 2,3-butandiol, and the like, among which ethylene glycol is preferred.
- the zinc used in the present invention enhances both the selectivity of the target 5 ⁇ -compound and the yield, and also reduces the reaction time.
- Zinc may used in 4 to 10 equivalents, preferably, 6 to 8 equivalents, based on a mole of the compound of formula (III), and in the total absence of the isomeric
- the target 5 ⁇ -compound is produced in a high yield of 80%.
- the target 5 ⁇ -compound is produced in a yield of only about 50% together with 10 to 20% of the isomeric 5 ⁇ -compound.
- the reduction in accordance with the present invention may be carried out at a temperature of 80 to 130 ° C, preferably 100 to 110 ° C, for 4 to 8 hours.
- the target compound of formula (I) can be selectively produced in a high yield under mild conditions.
- 16g (50mmol) of 3-oxo-4-androstene-17 ⁇ -carboxylic acid was dissolved in 240ml of t-butanol, 16g (150mmol) of sodium carbonate dissolved in 40ml of water was added thereto, and then heated to 80 ° C .
- Added dropwise thereto was a solution, which is preheated to 60 ° C, of 53.5g (250mmol) of sodium metaperiodate and 4.0g (25mmol) of potassium permanganate dissolved in 300ml of water. The resulting mixture was refluxed for 3 hours and left at room temperature overnight.
- the inorganic materials were filtered-off through celite, the filtrate was successively washed with water and 250ml of 10% sodium hydrogen sulfite, t-butanol was removed under a reduced pressure, and the residue was acidified with concentrated HC1.
- the acidified residue was then extracted with 320ml of methylene chloride, washed successively with 320ml of 5% sodium hydrogen sulfite and 320ml of brine, and distilled under a reduced pressure, to obtain 14.5g of the title compound (yield: 86%) as a pale yellow solid.
- the product thus obtained was analyzed by HPLC and the result is 5 shown in FIG. 1. As can be seen in FIG. 1, only the target 5 ⁇ -compound (retention time: 11.996) is detected, the isomeric 5 ⁇ -compound being not detectable.
- Comparative example 1 Preparation of 3-oxo-4-aza-5 ⁇ -androstane-17 ⁇ - carboxylic acid (the compound of formula (I)) in the absence of zinc
- the product thus obtained was analyzed by HPLC and the result is shown in FIG. 2, wherein the ares of 5 ⁇ -compound peak (retention time: 12.956) is 15% relative to the area of the 5 ⁇ -compound peak (retention time: 12.187) of 85%. That is, a large amount of the undesired 5 ⁇ -compound is produced.
- Comparative example 2 Preparation of 3-oxo-4-aza-5 ⁇ -androstane-17 ⁇ - carboxylic acid (the compound of formula (I)) using a mixture of formic acid and N-methylformamide
