  • Patent number: 9550716
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process for preparing a treprostinil salt. The process involves the step of dissolving treprostinil in a water-miscible organic solvent to form a treprostinil solution. The treprostinil solution is reacted with an aqueous basic solution containing an alkali metal cation to form treprostinil salt. Allowing crystallization of the treprostinil salt to take place, and then collecting the treprostinil salt formed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 22, 2011
    Date of Patent: January 24, 2017
    Assignee: EON LABS, INC.

  • Publication number: 20130331593
    Abstract: Treprostinil is prepared by a process which involves Pauson-Khan cyclization of an an alkene-substituted, alkyne-substituted benzene corresponding to formula: (I) where PMB represents para-methoxy benzyl protecting group and R1 and R2 are alcohol protecting groups. Following cyclization, the resulting compound can be subjected to several chemical trans-formations followed by alkylation, hydrolysis and salt formation to yield treprostinil sodium. The use of para-methoxybenzyl group as the phenolic protecting group confers several process advantages that result in simplified purification of the final product and improved yields.
