Description

PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF AN ANTIPSYCHOTIC AGENT
Field of the Invention
A process for the preparation of an antipsychotic agent useful for the treatment of schizophrenia is provided.
Background of the Invention
The present invention provides a process for the preparation of lurasidone hydrochloride. Lurasidone hydrochloride is chemically (3aR,4S,7R,7aS)-2-{(lR,2R)-2- [4-(l,2-benzisothiazol-3-yl)piperazin-l-ylmethyl]cyclohexylmethyl}hexahydro-4,7- methano-2H-isoindole-l,3-dione hydrochloride having the structure as represented by Formula I.
Figure imgf000002_0001
Formula I
Lurasidone hydrochloride is marketed in the United States under the brand name Latuda® for the treatment of schizophrenia.
U.S. Patent No. 5,532,372 describes preparation of lurasidone hydrochloride using racemic trans 1,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid of Formula III as intermediate as depicted in Scheme I.
Scheme I
Figure imgf000003_0001
Formula IX
The process described in U.S. Patent No. 5,532,372 involves use of racemic trans 1,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid of Formula III as an intermediate. The trans intermediate of Formula III may further exist as (R,R) trans and (S,S) trans isomers. In the process described in U.S. Patent No. 5,532,372, resolution of free base of Formula IX was carried out using a chiral resolving agent in the last step to obtain lurasidone followed by subsequent conversion of lurasidone into lurasidone hydrochloride. The present inventors have observed that chiral resolution of free base of an intermediate of Formula IX is difficult due to the presence of six chiral centers. This affects the overall yield and the cost of manufacturing. Thus, there exists a need for the development of a simple, cost-effective, and industrially advantageous process for the preparation of lurasidone hydrochloride which overcomes the difficulties of the prior art process.
Summary of the Invention
The present invention provides an easy, cost-effective and industrially advantageous process for the preparation of highly pure lurasidone hydrochloride which involves separating the racemic trans 1, 2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid of Formula III into its R,R trans and S,S trans isomers and then using the desired trans R,R isomer for the preparation of lurasidone hydrochloride. Since the process of the present invention involves separating the undesired S,S trans isomer in the initial stages of the manufacturing process, no undesired isomers due to reaction with trans (S,S)-isomer are formed in the subsequent steps.
Lurasidone hydrochloride prepared by the process of the present invention is a highly pure, easy to filter, free-flowing solid having small average particle size.

Detailed Description of the Invention
Various embodiments and variants of the present invention are described hereinafter.
The term "ambient temperature", as used herein, refers to a temperature in the range of about 20°C to about 35°C. The term "contacting", as used herein, refers to dissolving, slurrying, stirring or a combination thereof.
Racemic trans 1,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid of Formula III, to be used for the preparation of lurasidone hydrochloride of Formula I of the present invention, may be obtained by methods known in the literature such as the one disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,532,372, which is incorporated herein by reference. It may be obtained as a solution directly from a reaction in which it is formed and used as such without isolation or it may be isolated and then used in the next step.
Racemic trans 1,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid of Formula III may be resolved into (R,R) trans 1,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid of Formula Ilia and (S,S) trans 1,2- cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid using a chiral resolving agent selected from the group comprising (R)-l-phenylethyl amine, alpha-methylbenzylamine, l-(l-naphthyl)- ethylamine, sec-butylamine l-amino-2-methylbutane, N,N-dimethyl-l-phenylethylamine, 1-cyclohexylethylamine, 2-(methoxymethyl)-pyrrolidine, l-(4-nitrophenyl)-ethylamine, 2- amino-l-butanol, l-amino-2-propanol, cinchonidine, brucine, strychnine, cinchonine, N- methyl-ephedrine or alpha-phenyl-glycinol. In a preferred embodiment, the resolving agent used is (R)-l-phenylethyl amine.
Resolution may be carried out using a solvent selected from the group comprising alcohols, ketones, alkyl acetates, chlorinated hydrocarbons, ethers, nitriles or
hydrocarbons. Examples of alcohols are methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, iso-propanol, n- butanol, iso-butanol, sec-butanol or n-pentanol. Examples of ketones are acetone, methyl ethyl ketone or methyl isobutyl ketone. Examples of alkyl acetates are ethyl acetate or isopropyl acetate. Examples of chlorinated hydrocarbons are dichloromethane or chloroform. Examples of ethers are diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, methyl butyl ether, tetrahydrofiiran or dioxane. Examples of nitriles are acetonitrile or propionitrile.
Examples of hydrocarbons are benzene, xylene, toluene, hexanes, heptane or pentane.
Resolving agent may be added at a temperature of about 0°C to -100°C. The reaction mixture may be stirred for about 30 minutes to about 2 hours, warmed to ambient temperature and stirred for about 2 hours to about 10 hours followed by isolation. Isolation may be accomplished by filtration and drying. Drying may be carried out using any suitable method such as drying under reduced pressure, drying under atmospheric pressure, air drying or drying with aeration of inert gas such as nitrogen. Drying may be carried out at a temperature of about 40°C to about 80°C for about 2 hours to about 10 hours.
The salt of trans 1 ,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid of Formula III with the resolving agent may be further purified by crystallization from the solvent selected from the group consisting of alcohols, hydrocarbons, ketones, alkyl acetates, chlorinated hydrocarbons, ethers, nitriles and mixtures thereof. Examples of alcohols are methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, iso-propanol, n-butanol, iso-butanol, sec-butanol, and n-pentanol. Examples of hydrocarbons are benzene, xylene, toluene, hexane, heptanes, and pentane. Examples of ketones are acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and methyl isobutyl ketone.
Examples of alkyl acetates are ethyl acetate, and isopropyl acetate. Examples of chlorinated hydrocarbons are dichloromethane and chloroform. Examples of ethers are diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, methyl butyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, and dioxane.
Examples of nitriles are acetonitrile and propionitrile. In a preferred embodiment, salt of (R,R) trans 1,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid of Formula Ilia with the resolving agent is purified by crystallization from a solvent mixture comprising an alcohol and a
hydrocarbon.
Crystallization may be carried out by dissolving the salt of trans 1,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid of Formula III with the resolving agent at a temperature of about 60°C to about 100°C. The solution may be cooled to about -10°C to an ambient temperature, stirred for about 30 minutes to about 2 hours, filtered and dried. The crystallization step may be repeated if required.
