METHOD FOR PURIFYING ROPINIROLE HYDROCHLORIDE

摘要

Provided is a method for purifying ropinirole hydrochloride (4-2-di-n-propylaminoethyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-indole-2-ketohydrochloride). The method comprises: adding ropinirole hydrochloride containing a monopropyl impurity A into water, adding organic solvent, stirring and dissolving at room temperature, adding alkali, stirring, standing, demixing, and removing an aqueous layer; optionally, drying the organic layer by using anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and filtering; and adding acyl chloride or acid anhydride into the organic layer, stirring, concentrating the organic layer to be dry, adding an organic solvent into the obtained oily substance, adding concentrated hydrochloric acid, and stirring, so as to obtain the ropinirole hydrochloride. By using the method, the impurity A in the ropinirole hydrochloride can be effectively removed, and the ropinirole hydrochloride can be obtained with a high yield and a high purity, so that the impurity A is controlled and the purity of the product reaches a medicinal standard.
