Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method of brivaracetam and an intermediate thereof, wherein the brivaracetam is prepared with high-optical-purity (R)-4-n-propyl-dihydrofuran-2-one as a raw material. The preparation method is low in requirement on production equipment and can be used for preparing a brivaracetam crude product at higher chemical and optical purities and higher yield. The method greatly reduces the cost of large-scale industrial production of the brivaracetam.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry, and in particular relates to a preparation method of buvaracetam and an intermediate thereof. Background technique [0002] Brivaracetam, chemical name (2S)-2-[(4R)-2-oxo-4-n-propyl-1-pyrrolidinyl]butyramide, is a drug developed by UCB An antiepileptic drug indicated for the adjunctive treatment of partial-onset seizures in epileptic patients over 16 years of age. Based on the results of the phase III study of brivaracetam, UCB has submitted a new drug application to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and a marketing authorization application to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) on January 25, 2015. According to the clinical research data of the original research company, the anti-convulsant ability of brivaracetam is 10 times stronger than that of levetiracetam, the first brand drug in the field of epilepsy drugs, and its affinity for the target neuronal synaptic vesicle protein SV2A...
