## Abstract

A method for preparing high-purity sugammadex sodium, which realizes the preparation by using inositol phosphate and derivatives thereof, includes: adding a specific type of protective agent to crude sugammadex sodium, and performing recrystallization under the protection of inert gas to obtain pure sugammadex sodium. The protective agent is selected from inositol phosphate and derivatives thereof, such as inositol hexaphosphate and salts or esters thereof; one or a mixture of two or more of partial degradation products of inositol hexaphosphate, such as inositol pentaphosphate, inositol tetraphosphate, inositol triphosphate, inositol diphosphate, inositol monophosphate, and salts or esters thereof, in any ratio. The method has the advantages of simple operation, high product purity, good safety and less allergic reaction, and the method is cost-effective and more suitable for industrial production.
