SYNTHESIS
Drug
Diosmin is a semisynthetic flavonoid molecule derived from citrus d (modified hesperidin). It is an oral phlebotropic drug used in the treatment of venous disease, i.e., chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) including spider and varicose veins, leg swelling (edema), stasis dermatitis and venous ulcers. It is also used as a stand-alone or surgical adjunctive therapy in hemorrhoidal disease (HD).
There are extensive clinical trials that show diosmin improves all stages of venous disease including venous ulcers and improves quality of life.[2] There are no prospective studies in arterial disease.
Diosmin is currently a prescription medication in some European countries (under the Dio-PP, Venotec, Daflon etc. tradenames), and is sold as a nutritional supplement in the United States.
Diosmin has been found to be effective in mitigating hyperglycemia in diabetic rats.[3] It is also speculated that diosmin might have potential in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases,[4] such as Alzheimer’s disease.
Mechanisms
Diosmin improves lymphatic drainage by increasing the frequency and intensity of lymphatic contractions, and by increasing the total number of functional lymphatic capillaries. Furthermore, diosmin with hesperidine decreases the diameter of lymphatic capillaries and the intralymphatic pressure.Diosmin prolongs the vasoconstrictor effect of norepinephrine on the vein wall, increasing venous tone, and therefore reducing venous capacitance, distensibility, and stasis. This increases the venous return and reduces venous hyperpressure present in patients suffering from CVI.
At the microcirculation level, diosmin reduces capillary hyperpermeability and increases capillary resistance by protecting the microcirculation from damaging processes.
Diosmin reduces the expression of endothelial adhesion molecules (ICAM1, VCAM1), and inhibits the adhesion, migration, and activation of leukocytes at the capillary level. This leads to a reduction in the release of inflammatory mediators, principally oxygen free radicals and prostaglandins (PGE2, PGF2a).
Society and culture
Diosmin is distributed in the U.S. as a dietary supplement.[5][6]
Diosmin was first reported by O. A. Osterle and G. Wander in HeIv. Chim. Acta. 8, 519 – 536, 1925 and is a naturally occurring flavonoid glycoside that can be isolated from various plant sources, i.e from the peel of the citrus fruit or hesperidin. Diosmin is a protecting agent and is used for the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency, lymphedema, hemorrhoids and varicose veins. It has been also used for other therapeutic purposes such as cancer, premenstrual syndrome, colitis, and diabetes.
The several references are reported in the prior art for conversion of hesperidin to diosmin.
Zemplen and Bogner, in Ber. 76, 452, 1943 reported monobromination of acetylated flavanones by liquid bromine in chloroform solution in presence of ultraviolet radiation to obtain flavone derivative by following loss of hydrogen bromide and deacetylation with alcoholic alkali. The conversion of hesperidin to diosmin reported is 37%.
In the journal reference, J. Org. Chem., 16, 930 – 933, 1951, by N. B. Lorette et. al. N-bromosuccinimide was used for the bromination of acetylated hesperidin in chloroform and benzoyl peroxide was used as a catalyst. Diosmin yield was 44%.
Studies in Organic Chemistry (Amsterdam) (1982), Volume Date 1981, 11, 115-119 describes conversion of Hesperidin, neohesperidin and naringin to diosmin, neodiosmin, and rhoifolin respectively by dehydrogenation with iodine in pyridine. Tianran Chanwu Yabjiu Yu Kaif (2006), 18(6), 896-899 describes separation and purification of diosmin by macroporous resins, and reported 95% pure diosmin.
ES459076 describes the preparation of diosmin by bromination and debromination of hesperidin acetate in tetrahydrofuran with 2-carboxy ethyl triphenyl phosphonium bromide followed by saponification with potassium tertiary butoxide.
ES465156 describes diosmin preparation by reaction of hesperidin with aqueous sodium hydroxide, iodine and pyridine with 66% yield.
DE2740950 describes iodination-dehydroiodination of hesperidin in the presence of pyridine and iodine resulting 89% of diosmin.
EP52086 claims a process for the preparation of diosmin comprising of total acetylation of hesperidin or related flavone by heating it in acetic anhydride and pyridine followed by selective dehydrogenation or oxidation by means of SeO2 in isoamyl alcohol and then deprotection by means of alkaline hydrolysis with inorganic bases under hot condition. The isolated diosmin is purified by base acid treatment with overall reported yield is of 60%.
US4078137 describes a process for diosmin comprising of acetylation of hesperidin, thereby brominating it and the brominated product is hydrolysed to isolate diosmin with bromine content less then 0.1% with over all 65% yield.
In BE 904614, diosmin was prepared by iodination of hesperidin followed by elimination of HI. In the process, iodine in dimethylformamide and pyridine were successively added to hesperidin and the resulting mixture was heated at 100°C to give 96% pure diosmin.
EP 860443 describes the process that involves reaction of hesperidin with iodine in presence of pyridine at reflux temperature for 5 hours. The reaction mixture is cooled to 5°C and the isolated diosmin is purified using base acid treatment to get the quality of diosmin above 90% with 75 % yield.
FR2760015 provides industrial dehydrogenation of hesperidin with potassium iodide in DMSO in presence of cone. H2SO4 resulted in diosmin with 73% yield and pharmacopoeial quality.
WO2000011009 describes reaction of hesperidin with iodine in presence of pyridine and anhydrous alkaline earth metal base. The process involves purifying the reaction mass using morpholine followed by base acid treatment which resulted in diosmin with 80% yield and purity of diosmin meets with pharmacopoeial norms.
EP 1086953 discloses the process for purification of diosmin by reacting with pulverized zinc in aqueous solution followed by filtration and acidification.
Diosmin which is produced by many of the prior art processes is often found to contain impurities and is contaminated with various byproducts, for instance hesperidin, Isorhoifin, acetyl lisovanilone, 6-Iododiosmin, linarin, diosmetin and other organic volatile impurities. Some of the major impurities are resulted from hesperidin during extraction. The impurities of hesperidin have a major effect on the final assay of diosmin. The impurities vary depending upon the source of hesperidin. It is worthy to note that direct crystallization of crude diosmin with aqueous base acid solution does not necessarily improve the assay / purity of diosmin.
The process described in Studies in Organic Chemistry (Amsterdam) (1982), Volume Date 1981, 11, 115-119 is different from the present inventors process.
Although ES459076 teaches the preparation of diosmin by bromination and debromination of hesperidin acetate in tetrahydrofuran with 2-carboxy ethyl triphenyl phosphonium bromide, it does not teach about the final purity of diosmin with pharmaceutical quality as required.
ES465156 and DE2740950 although disclose method of preparation, does not teach a process that gives yields as are taught by present invention.
EP52086 and US4078137 uses acetic anhydride for acetylation of hesperidine with yields around 60%, which are phenomenally less as compared with yields of process described by present invention.
Sequence of addition of reactants in the process as taught by BE 904614 is different than the teachings of the present invention.
FR2760015 teaches use of different reactants under conditions that are different from the teachings of the present invention.
Invention disclosed in present application does not use morpholine as disclosed in WO2000011009.
Though there are reported several processes for preparation of diosmin in the prior art, present invention describes a novel systematic process for the preparation of diosmin by converting hesperidin to diosmin at optimum level i.e. % conversion, and keeping the impurities at minimum level which results in consistently pure diosmin with good yield and the desired quality. The process allows recovery and recycle of major contributing chemicals and solvents such as methanol, pyridine and iodine, without impact on quality, purity or yield of the process making the process more economical and ecofriendly. It is surprisingly found that quality diosmin output obtained is independent of hesperidin quality used
