Multistage process for the preparation of highly pure deferoxamine mesylate salt

, (2008/06/13)
The present invention provides a purification process whereby deferoxamine B produced by a microorganism and in mixture with other polyhydroxamates produced by the microorganism may be converted into its mesylate salt substantially free of the other polyhydroxamates and substantially free of chloride ion. The process includes adsorption and desorption of the deferoxamine B on an adsorption resin, direct precipitation of the deferoxamine free base out of the eluent from the adsorption resin, contacting of the deferoxamine B free base with methanesulfonic acid and isolation of the deferoxamine B mesylate salt by precipitation. This process minimizes decomposition of deferoxamine B.
Method for the synthesis of desferrioxamine B and analogs thereof

Disclosed is a synthesis of desferrioxamine B and analogs and homologs thereof beginning with the generation of the O-protected N-(4-cyanobutyl)hydroxylamine which is acylated at the O-benzylhydroxylamine nitrogen with either succinic or acetic anhydride. The resulting half-acid amide or amide respectively, is subjected to a series of high yield condensations and reductions which provide desferrioxamine B in 45% overall yield. Finally, a desamino analog of desferrioxamine is prepared in order to demonstrate the synthetic utility of the scheme as applied to desferrioxamine derivatives.
