Tegoprazan is the world’s first potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB), has a mechanism similar to that of an acid pump antagonist (APA), and blocks gastric acid secretion by competing with potassium ions for binding to the enzyme H+/K+– ATPase (proton pump) that secretes H+ ions, which are a component of gastric acid, from the gastric parietal cells into the gastric lumen. Since tegoprazan is not a prodrug such as a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), it does not require an activation process, and thus acts not only on an active proton pump but also on an inactive proton pump. Thus, tegoprazan has the advantages of exhibiting its effect rapidly and reaching the maximum effect within one hour.
Meanwhile, in general, in order for a drug to exhibit an expected effect, the blood concentration of the drug needs to be maintained at a certain level or higher. To maintain the blood concentration of the drug, a patient is required to take the prescribed drug repeatedly according to a certain schedule.
In this case, taking the drug frequently decreases the patient’s medication compliance, and as a result, there are many cases where the expected therapeutic effect is not obtained. Thus, in a disease for which a drug needs to be taken for a long period of time or the blood concentration of the drug at a time when the patient cannot take the drug needs to be maintained at a certain level or higher, the frequency and method of taking the drug is also an important factor to be considered for increasing the therapeutic effect of the drug.
Accordingly, there is a need to develop a formulation capable of maintaining a therapeutically effective blood concentration of a drug because there is no problem in the absorption rate of the drug while modifying the release of the drug.
Gastric acid-related gastrointestinal diseases, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, non-erosive reflux disease, gastric ulcers, and ulcers caused by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are the most common diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Histamine 2 receptor blockers and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are used in the treatment of the above symptoms, showing good curative effects and greatly improving the quality of life of patients. However, the degree of satisfaction with existing drugs for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases related to gastric acid is still not high. For example, during the process of taking proton pump inhibitors, the symptoms of heartburn and esophageal reflux at night are still difficult to overcome, and the related symptoms cannot be effectively relieved 3 days before taking the medicine.
Potassium ion competitive acid blocker (P-CAB) is a new mechanism of H + -K + -ATPase inhibitor, which is a reversible proton pump inhibitor. Currently on the market are Revaprazan, Vonoprazan and Tegoprazan.
Tegoprazan’s chemical name is (S)-4-((5,7-difluorochroman-4-yl)oxy)-N,N,2-trimethyl-1H-benzo [d] Imidazole-6-carboxamide, the structure is shown in formula (1):
Both WO2007072146 and CN101341149B disclose two synthetic methods of Tegoprazan:
Method one (milligram preparation method):
WO2007072146 and CN101341149B quote the synthesis method of WO2004054984 to prepare A-3 compound, then acetylate under concentrated sulfuric acid/acetic anhydride, introduce cyano group through microwave reaction to obtain A-5 compound, and then undergo reduction, ring closure, hydrolysis, condensation, and Toluenesulfonyl protection, ether hydrogenolysis, Mitsunobu reaction (Mitsunobu reaction) to obtain A-11 compound, after hydrolysis to remove the p-toluenesulfonyl protecting group to obtain A-12 compound, namely Tegorazan racemate, and finally through a chiral column Split to obtain Tegorazan with optical activity.
This synthetic route requires 12 steps of reactions (not including the preparation of 5,7-difluorochroman-4-ol), and the synthesis yield is only 2.0%; zinc cyanide is used in the reaction, which requires special treatment of wastewater; In the reaction, the protecting group (benzyl protection, p-toluenesulfonyl protection) and the removal of the protecting group need to be carried out twice. Suitable for industrial production.
Method two (ten-gram preparation method):
The obtained A-4 compound is reduced and fused under the condition of iron powder/acetic acid to obtain A-13 compound, which is protected by p-toluenesulfonyl, amidation, and debenzyl protection to obtain A-10 compound, and finally combined with a chiral alcohol The Tegorazan precursor is obtained by the Mitsunobu reaction, and then the Tegorazan is obtained by hydrolysis to protect it.
Although method 2 has been shortened compared with method 1, the synthetic route still requires 9-step reaction (excluding the preparation of chiral alcohol), the route is still longer, and the total yield is 6.8%; carbon monoxide gas is used in the reaction to pass through the coupling Co-preparation of amides requires special equipment to carry out the reaction, which poses a safety hazard; two protective groups (benzyl protection, p-toluenesulfonyl protection) and two removal of protective groups are still required in the reaction, and the reaction steps are also added. This results in low synthesis efficiency, which is not conducive to industrial production.

Fig 1. Chemical structure formula and three-dimensional structure of Tegoprazan
Tegoprazan, a potassium-competitive acid blocker, is a potent, oral active and highly selective inhibitor of gastric H+/K+-ATPase that could control gastric acid secretion and motility, with IC50 values ranging from 0.29-0.52 μM for porcine, canine, and human H+/K+-ATPases in vitro.
Tegoprazan inhibits porcine, canine, and human H+/K+-ATPase activity. Tegoprazan inhibits gastric H+/K+-ATPase in a potassium-competitive and reversible manner. Tegoprazan (3 μM) inhibits 86% of H+/K+-ATPase activity, whereas the inhibition is decreased to 34% after the dilution of Tegoprazan concentration to 0.15 μM[2].
Tegoprazan (1.0 mg/kg, p.o.) potently and completely inhibits histamine-induced gastric acid secretion in dogs. Tegoprazan (1.0-3.0 mg/kg, p.o.) reverses the pentagastrin-induced acidified gastric pH to the neutral range. Tegoprazan (3 mg/kg, p.o.) immediately evokes a gastric phase III contraction of the migrating motor complex in pentagastrin-treated dogs[3].
The invention relates to a method for preparing Tegoprazan chiral alcohols, in particular to the preparation method of (S) 5,7 difluoro 3,4 dihydro 2H chromogenic ene 4 alcohol. Using 5,7-difluoro-4H-benzopyran-4-ketone as starting material, the method realizes the preparation of (S)5,7-difluoro-3,4-dihydro-2H-chromogenic enone-4-alcohol by asymmetric reduction of ketone carbonyl with chiral reagent and subsequent conventional hydrogenation reaction[4].
