Abstract:

Meropenem is an effective and safe antibiotic with high clinical value and is also one of the candidate drugs for treatment of COVID -19. Meropenem hydrogenation can be achieved via two processes:one-pot reaction and two-step process. This paper investigated the involved technical processes. Since most physical properties of the chemicals in meropenem hydrogenation reaction cannot be obtained from handbook, we estimate the properties of these chemicals by the group contribution method (Joback method, Constantinous method, Benson method & Ma Peisheng method), including critical parameters, standard generation heat, standard generation Gibbs free energy, heat capacity, etc. Based on the basic principle of thermodynamics and the estimated properties, the reaction enthalpy change, Gibbs free energy and reaction equilibrium constant in the standard condition and different temperatures (273—323 K) were calculated. The results indicated that meropenem hydrogenation was an exothermic reaction with considerable release of heat, so it is necessary to pay attention to the heat removal during the reaction process, and reducing the operating temperature is conducive to the reaction in the favorable direction of thermodynamics. According to the Gibbs free energy and equilibrium constant of each reaction, hydrogenation is easy to carry out, and condensation reaction is the thermodynamic limiting step of meropenem hydrogenation system. Therefore, it should be emphasized to reduce the operating temperature and remove the reaction products in time to promote the condensation reaction to the thermodynamic direction. The conclusions obtained through the thermodynamic calculation are basically consistent with the industrial practice. The one-pot reaction process is thermodynamicly more favorable than the two-step process. Combining anti-poisoning surrounding catalysts with micro-interface reaction enhancement technology to optimize the one-pot hydrogenation process is a direction worth exploring for upgrading meropenem hydrogenation technology.

摘要:

美罗培南是一种广谱、高效、安全的抗生素,也是治疗新冠肺炎的临床药物之一。研究美罗培南加氢反应的一锅法和两步法工艺过程,利用基团贡献法估算反应体系中各组分的物性,包括临界参数、标准摩尔生成焓、标准摩尔熵、比热容等。利用热力学基本原理,计算美罗培南加氢反应的标准摩尔反应焓、标准摩尔反应熵、标准摩尔反应Gibbs自由能和平衡常数。结果表明,美罗培南加氢反应是放热反应,且放热量较大,降低操作温度有利于反应向热力学有利的方向进行;加氢反应是较容易进行的,缩合反应的平衡常数远小于加氢反应;可着重考虑采用降低操作温度,及时移出反应产物等方式推动缩合反应向正反应方向进行。热力学理论计算与实际情况吻合较好。一锅法在热力学上优于两步法,但需要解决催化剂易中毒问题。将抗中毒的包围型催化剂与微界面反应强化技术结合优化一锅法加氢过程是对美罗培南加氢反应技术升级一个值得探索的方向。
