Process for purifying glycopeptide phosphonate derivatives
View Patent ↗Disclosed are methods of purifying glycopeptides that are substituted with one or more substituents each comprising one or more phosphono groups that are useful as antibacterial agents. The methods include contacting a solution of the glycopeptide derivatives with a polystyrene-containing resin, eluting the resin with an aqueous solution, and isolating the purified glycopeptide derivative.
1. A method of purifying a compound of formula I:
wherein:
R 19 is hydrogen;
R 20 is —CH 2 CH 2 —NH—(CH 2 ) 9 CH 3 ;
R 3 is —OH;
R 5 is —CH 2 —NH—CH 2 —P(O)(OH) 2 ;
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer, thereof;
the method comprising the steps of:
(a) contacting a polystyrene divinyl benzene resin with a first acidified aqueous solution comprising the compound;
(b) eluting the contacted resin with a second acidified aqueous solution comprising a polar organic solvent selected from methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, acetonitrile, acetone, n-propyl alcohol, n-butyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, methyl ethyl ketone, and tetrahydrofuran to form an eluate containing the compound; and
(c) isolating the compound from the eluate.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second acidified aqueous solution contains acetic acid.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second acidified aqueous solution contains hydrochloric acid.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polystyrene divinyl benzene resin has a ROTC size of from about 50 Å to about 1000 Å.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is a hydrochloride salt.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is an acetate salt.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polystyrene divinyl benzene resin has a particle bead size in the range of between about 20 μm to about 800 μm.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first acidified aqueous solution contains acetic acid.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first acidified aqueous solution contains hydrochloric acid.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polar organic solvent is methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol or acetonitrile.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polar organic solvent is ethanol.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polar organic solvent is acetonitrile.
