Misoprostol Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Using azelaic acid as raw material, it reacts with diimidazole sulfoxide to form an acylation product of imidazole, which has strong acylation activity. After reacting with monomethyl malonate, it is then acidified and decarboxylated to produce 2-[8- (Methoxycarbonyl)octanoyl]acetic acid methyl ester, then hydrolyzed and decarboxylated to produce 8-oxodecanoic acid, cyclized with dimethyl oxalate and then decarboxylated to produce 3-substituted cyclopentanetrione, one of which is selectively hydrogenated The carbonyl group is a hydroxyl group, which is reduced to 4-hydroxy-2-(methylheptanoate-7-yl)-2, 3-cyclopentenone after reacting with acetal acetal, and finally reacted with the organoaluminum reagent to obtain misoprost alcohol. This route is complicated, and some products need to be purified by chromatography, and the total yield is less than 1%.

Uses

A cytoprotective prostaglandin PGE1 analogue

Drug Function and Efficacy

Early pregnancy termination drug. It has the effect of softening the cervix, increasing uterine tension and intrauterine pressure. Sequential use with mifepristone can significantly increase or induce the frequency and amplitude of spontaneous uterine contractions in early pregnancy.
