The invention relates to a method for preparing
cabazitaxel, particularly relates to a method for preparing the
cabazitaxel by taking 10-deacetylate-
baccatin III as a
raw material and belongs to the technical field of
drug synthesis. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, reacting 10-DAB with chlorocarbonate-2,2,2-trichloro
ethyl ester, thereby obtaining a product; reacting the product with DMAP (dimethylamino
pyridine), DCC (dicyclohexylcarbodiimide) and (4S, 5R)-2,2-dimethyl-4-phenyl-3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-3.5-
oxazolidine formic acid, thereby obtaining a product; reacting the product with
acetic acid and
zinc powder, and then methylating the product; and lastly, adding a p-methyl
benzenesulfonic acid, thereby reacting and obtaining a
cabazitaxel product. The cabazitaxel prepared according to the method can be widely applied to the treatment of
prostate cancer. Compared with a traditional technique for preparing the cabazitaxel, the method has the advantages that the preparation quantity is greatly increased, the operation steps are simplified, the manpower is saved and the method has industrial application value and prospect.
