Treprostinil is a synthetic prostacyclin derivative with thrombocyte aggregation inhibitory and vasodilatory activity. Treprostinil can be administered in subcutaneous, intravenous, inhalable, or oral forms. Disclosed is a method for the preparation of treprostinil of formula I and its amorphous form, anhydrate form, monohydrate form, and polyhydrate form salts with bases. In the disclosed method, the chiral center in the 3-hydroxyoctyl substituent is formed at the end of the synthesis, so that the method is robust and well scalable. Also disclosed are treprostinil intermediates and the preparation of the intermediates.

Process for the preparation of treprostinil

The invention relates to a robust and reproducible process for the preparation of polymorph form B of treprostinil diethanolamine salt, comprising the following steps: a. treprostinil is dissolved in methanol, b. to the solution of step a) diethanolamine or its methanol solution is added, c. the reaction mixture of step b) is agitated till dissolution, d. when salt formation is completed in step c), first portion of an aprotic solvent is added to the solution, e. the solution of step d) is filtered to remove insoluble impurities, f. the filtrate of step e) is seeded with polymorph form B of treprostinil diethanolamine salt, g. to the crystal suspension obtained in step f) a second portion of the aprotic solvent is added, h. the suspension of step g) is agitated until crystallisation is completed, i. the crystals are separated, washed and dried.

Also disclosed are treprostinil intermediates and the preparation of the intermediates. 

The subject of the invention is a novel process for the preparation of Carboprost tromethamine salt where alkylation the enone of the general formula (II) is carried out in the presence of a chiral auxiliary in aprotic solvent with a Grignard reagent. The methyl ester epimers of formula (VII) are separated by gravity silica gel chromatography and the salt formation is carried out by using solid tromethamine base. 

Process for the preparation of carboprost and its tromethamine salt

Treprostinil is a synthetic prostacyclin derivative with thrombocyte aggregation inhibitory and vasodilatory activity. Treprostinil can be administered in subcutaneous, intravenous, inhalable, or oral forms. Disclosed is a method for the preparation of treprostinil of formula I and its amorphous form, anydrate form, monohydrate form, and polyhydrate form salts with bases. In the disclosed method, the chiral center in the 3-hydroxyoctyl substituent is formed at the end of the synthesis, so that the method is robust and well scalable. Also disclosed are treprostinil intermediates and the preparation of the intermediates.
