A process for recovering 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT) or a salt thereof from a mixture of chemicals involving the reaction of the AZT with guanidine to form a salt precipitate. The salt precipitate is then acidified to pH of less than about 9 to yield free AZT, which can then be crystallized from solution. 3'-Azido-3'-deoxythymidine and its salts, also known as AZT and Zidovudine, is used in the treatment of AIDS patients.
一种从
化学混合物中回收3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine(AZT)或其盐的过程,其中涉及将AZT与
胍反应形成盐沉淀物。然后将盐沉淀物酸化至pH小于约9,以产生游离的AZT,然后可以从溶液中结晶出AZT。3'-Azido-3'-deoxythymidine及其盐,也称为AZT和Zidovudine,用于治疗艾滋病患者。
