| | Bumetanide Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | Crystalline Solid | | Originator | Burinex,Leo,UK,1973 | | Uses | antineoplastic, alkylating agent | | Uses | Bumetanide is a diuretic. | | Uses | Bumetanide is used for relieving edema associated with cardiac insufficiency, for liver and
kidney diseases including nephrotic syndrome, for ascites, and hypertension. | | Definition | ChEBI: A member of the class of benzoic acids that is 4-phenoxybenzoic acid in which the hydrogens ortho to the phenoxy group are substituted by butylamino and sulfamoyl groups. Bumetanide is a diuretic, and is used for treatment of oedema associated
with congestive heart failure, hepatic and renal disease. | | Manufacturing Process | Preparation of 3-Nitro-4-Phenoxy-5-Sulfamylbenzoic Acid: A mixture of 4-
chloro-3-nitro-5-sulfamylbenzoic acid (140 grams), phenol (100 grams),
sodium hydrogencarbonate (170 grams), and water (1.000 ml) was heated to
85°C while stirring and kept at this temperature for 16 hours. After cooling to
4°C, the precipitated sodium salt of 3-nitro-4-phenoxy-5-sulfamylbenzoic acid
was filtered off and washed with ice water. The sodium salt was dissolved in
boiling water (3,000 ml), and the 3-nitro-4-phenoxy-5-sulfamylbenzoic acid
was precipitated by addition of 4N hydrochloric acid. After cooling, the acid
was isolated by suction and dried. The melting point was 255°-256°C.
Preparation of 3-Amino-4-Phenoxy-5-Sulfamylbenzoic Acid: A suspension of 3-
nitro-4-phenoxy-5-sulfamylbenzoic acid (20 grams) in water (100 ml) was
adjusted to pH 8 by addition of 1N lithium hydroxide. The resulting solution
was hydrogenated at room temperature and 1.1 atmospheres hydrogen
pressure after addition of Pd on carbon catalyst (0.6 grams catalyst containing
10% Pd). After the hydrogen uptake had become negligible, the catalyst was
removed by filtration, and the 3-amino-4-phenoxy-5-sulfamylbenzoic acid was
precipitated from the filtrate by addition of 4N hydrochloric acid to pH 2.5.
After recrystallization from aqueous ethanol and drying, the melting point was
255°-256°C.
Preparation of 3-n-Butylamino-4-Phenoxy-5-Sulfamylbenzoic Acid: To a
suspension of 3-amino-4-phenoxy-5-sulfamyibenzoic acid (10 grams) in nbutanol
(200 ml), concentrated sulfuric acid (2 ml) was added while stirring.
The reaction mixture was heated under reflux under conditions in which the
water formed during the reaction could be removed. When, after dilution with n-butanol, the NMR-spectrum of a sample of the reaction mixture showed at
the two doublets of the aromatic protons in ring A that the butyl-3-amino-4-
phenoxy-5-sulfamylbenzoate formed as an intermediate was more than 90%
converted to the corresponding 3-n-butylaminobenzoate, 2 N sodium
hydroxide (200 ml) was added and the boiling was continued for 45 minutes.
After the saponification, the reaction mixture was neutralized to pH 8 by
addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid.
By cooling, the sodium salt of 3-n-butylamino-4-phenoxy-5-sulfamylbenzoic
acid precipitated. It was filtered off and recrystallized from water (100 ml).
The sodium salt, crystallizing with 3 molecules of water, was then dissolved in
boiling water (200 ml), 1N hydrochloric acid was added to pH 2.5, and after
cooling the precipitated 3-n-butylamino-4-phenoxy-5-sulfamylbenzoic acid was
collected by filtration. After recrystallization from aqueous ethanol and drying,
the pure compounds were obtained with melting point 230°-231°C. | | Brand name | Bumex (Roche). | | Therapeutic Function | Diuretic | | Biological Activity | Loop diuretic that inhibits the Na + /2Cl - /K + (NKCC) cotransporter. More potent than furosemide (5-(Aminosulfonyl)-4-chloro-2-([2-furanylmethyl]amino)benzoic acid ). | | Biochem/physiol Actions | Inhibitor of Na+/K+/Cl- cotransporter. | | Clinical Use | A diuretic structurally related to furosemide is bumetanide. This compound also functions as a high-ceiling diuretic in the ascending limb of the loop of Henle. It has a
duration of action of approximately 4 hours. The uses of this compound are similar to those described for furosemide. The dose of bumetanide is 0.5 to 2 mg/day given as
a single dose. | | Synthesis | Bumetanide, 3-butylamino-4-phenoxy-5-sulfamoylbenzoic acid (21.4.6), is
synthesized from 4-chlorobenzoic acid. In the first stage of synthesis, it undergoes sulfonylchlorination
by chlorosulfonic acid, forming 4-chloro-3-chlorosulfonylbenzoic acid
(21.4.1), which is further nitrated with nitric acid to 4-chloro-3-chlorosulfonyl-5-nitrobenzoic
acid (21.4.2). Reacting this with ammonia gives 5-aminosulfonyl-4-chloro-3-nitrobenzoic
acid (21.4.3), which when reacted with sodium phenolate is transformed into
5-amino-sulfonyl-3-nitro-5-phenoxybenzoid acid (21.4.4). Reduction of the nitro group in
this product by hydrogen using a palladium on carbon catalyst gives 3-amino-5-aminosulfonyl-
5-phenoxybenzoic acid (21.4.5). Finally, reacting this with butyl alcohol in the presence
of sulfuric acid gives the desired bumetanide (21.4.6).

urine, about 50% as unchanged drug, and 10-20% in the
faeces. No active metabolites are known. In patients with
chronic renal failure the liver takes more importance as an
excretory pathway although the duration of action is not
markedly prolonged. | | storage | Store at RT |
