Background of the Invention
The compound (E)-oc-[2-n-butyl-1 -[(4-carboxyphenyl)methyl]-IH-imidazol5-yl]methylene-2-thiophenepropionic acid monomethanesulfonate is known by the name eprosartan and is the subject of U.S. Patent No. 5,185,351 (the '351 patent), issued February 9, 1993. This patent discloses in Example 41a process for making the anhydrous form of (E)-a-[2-n-butyl-l-[(4-carboxyphenyl)methyl]-lH-imidazol5-yl]methylene-2-thiophenepropionic acid monomethanesulfonate. Additionally, the '351 patent discloses conventional techniques for formulating (E)-oc-[2-n-butyl-l[(4-carboxyphenyl)methylj-1 H-imidazoI-5-yl]methyIene-2-thiophenepropionic acid monomethanesulfonate and Examples 108-111 specifically detail the preparation of certain formulations. This compound is claimed to have utility in blocking angiotensin Π receptors and to be useful in the treatment of hypertension, congestive heart failure and renal failure.
Surprisingly, it has been found that the dihydrated form of (E)-oc-[2-n-butyll-[(4-carboxyphenyl)methyl]-lH-imidazol-5-yl]methylene-2-thiophenepropionic acid monomethanesulfonate is formed in situ during the wet granulation process for preparing solid dosage forms of the anhydrous form of said compound.

Summary of the Invention
The present invention provides a novel dihydrated form of (E)-a-[2-n-butyl1 -[(4-carboxyphenyl)methyl]-1 H-imidazol-5-yl]methylene-2-thiophenepropionic acid monomethanesulfonate, in particular, in pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of diseases in which blockade of angiotensin H receptors is indicated, for example, in the treatment of hypertension, congestive heart failure and renal failure.
The present invention also provides a process for preparing (E)-a-[2-n-butyl1- [(4-carboxyphenyl)methyl]-lH-imidazol-5-yl]methylene-2-thiophenepropionic acid monomethanesulfonate dihydrate during wet granulation of the anhydrous form of (E)-oc-[2-n-butyl-l-[(4-carboxyphenyl)methyl]-lH-imidazol-5-yl]methylene-2thiophenepropionic acid monomethanesulfonate.
Another aspect of this invention provides a process for preparing (E)-a-[2-nbutyl-l-[(4-carboxyphenyl)methyl]-lH-imidazol-5-yl]methylene-2-thiophenepropionic acid monomethanesulfonate dihydrate by recrystallizing the anhydrous form of (E)-oc-[2-n-butyl- l-[(4-carboxyphenyl)methyl]- lH-imidazol-5-yl]methylene2- thiophenepropionic acid monomethanesulfonate from an aqueous acidic solution, in particular, an aqueous solution of methanesulfonic acid.
Brief Description of the Figures
Figures 1, 3 and 5 show, respectively, the differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) thermogram, the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and the powder X-ray ' diffraction (XRD) pattern of the anhydrous form of (E)-a-[2-n-butyl-l-[(4carboxyphenyl)methyl]-lH-imidazol-5-yl]methylene-2-thiophenepropionic acid monomethanesulfonate.
The anhydrous form of (E)-a-[2-n-butyl-l-[(4-carboxyphenyl)methyl]-lHimidazol-5-yl]methylene-2-thiophenepropionic acid monomethanesulfonate exhibits a single thermal event, a melting endotherm at about 250°C associated with a weight loss, suggesting that melting is followed by decomposition of the drug substance (Figure 1). No significant weight loss prior to melting is observed in its TGA (thermogravimetric analysis) [Figure 3], suggesting that this compound does not contain significant quantities of surface adsorbed water and/or residual solvents.
The powder X-ray diffraction pattern [Figure 5] exhibits characteristic diffraction lines corresponding to 2Θ values of 7, 14, 18.9, 22.2 and 29 degrees.

Figures 2,4 and 6 show, respectively, the differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) thermogram, the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and the powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of the dihydrated form of (E)-cc-[2-n-butyl-l-[(4carboxyphenyl)methyl]-lH-imidazol-5-yl]methylene-2-thiophenepropionic acid monomethanesulfonate.
The DSC of the dihydrate [Figure 2] exhibits 3 characteristic endothermic peaks at about 71 °C, 99°C and 250°C. The exotherm in Figure 2 at 124°C corresponds to the recrystallization of eprosartan dihydrate to the anhydrate upon dehydration. A typical TGA for the dihydrate obtained by granulating the anhydrous form of (E)-a-[2-n-butyl-l-[(4-carboxyphenyl)methyl]-lH-imidazol-5yl]methylene-2-thiophenepropionic acid monomethanesulfonate with an excipient, such as lactose, xanthan gum, starch and gelatin, which act as a facilitator or stabilizer (i.e., stabilizing the dihydrate) exhibits a two-step moisture loss in the temperature range of 25-125°C [Figure 4], The loss of water associated with the first-step moisture loss begins at 25°C and is essentially complete by 70°C. This weight loss amounts to about 3%, corresponding stoichiometrically to one mole of water per mole of eprosartan anhydrate. The water associated with the second-step moisture loss is lost in the temperature range of 75°-125°C. The dihydrate also exhibits a characteristic powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD [Figure 6] exhibits characteristic diffraction lines corresponding to 2Θ values of 8, 10.8, 16.8, 21.9, 26.6 and 30.4 degrees.
Detailed Description of the Invention (E)-a-[2-n-ButyI-1 -[(4-carboxyphenyl)methyl]- lH-imidazol-5-yl]methylene25 2-thiophenepropionic acid monomethanesulfonate is known to exist in an anhydrous form and is characterized by the data shown in Figures 1, 3 and 5.

APOΟ Ο 90 1 (E)-a-[2-n-Butyl-l-[(4-carboxyphenyl)methyl]-lH-imidazol-5-yl]methylene2-thiophenepropionic acid monomethanesulfonate, eprosartan, is claimed in U.S.
Patent No. 5,185,351. Reference should be made to said patent for its full disclosure, including the methods of preparing and using this compound. The entire disclosure of the '351 patent is incorporated herein by reference.
Eprosartan is anhydrous, and, by itself, is stable at ambient temperature and humidity, as well as at accelerated conditions (30°C/79%RH or 40°C/75%RH for up to 6 months). This drug substance does not pick up moisture at higher humidities (typicaily up to 95%RH). However, the anhydrous form of the compound converts to the hydrated form, if it is moistened prior to storage in a closed container at ambient or higher temperatures, or if the dry powder is stored at a relative humidity of 98% or higher at ambient or higher temperatures for 8 days or longer. In the former case where the hydrate is obtained by moistening the drug substance, the q hydrated form is not stable, and is generally converted back into the anhydrous form during drying.
In accordance with the present invention, it has been unexpectedly found that a stable dihydrated form of (E)-a-[2-n-butyl-l-[(4-carboxyphenyl)methyl]-lHimidazol-5-yl]methylene-2-thiophenepropionic acid monomethanesulfonate is produced in situ during the wet granulation processing of the anhydrous form of said compound into solid dosage forms (e.g., capsules and tablets). The granules containing (E)-a-[2-n-butyl-l-[(4-carboxyphenyl)methyl]-lH-imidazol-5yl]methylene-2-thiophene-propionic acid monomethanesulfonate dihydrate are produced by mixing the anhydrous form of the compound with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, followed by granulation with water. *
The dihydrated form of eprosartan can also be prepared by recrystallizing the anydrous form of eprosartan from an aqueous acidic solution, for example, an aqueous solution of methanesulfonic acid.
The dihydrate of the instant invention is characterized by the data shown in Figures 2, 4 and 6. The anhydrous form of (E)-a-[2-n-butyl-l-[(4-carboxyphenyl)30 methyl]-lH-imidazol-5-yl]methylene-2-thiophene-propionic acid monomethanesulfonate and its dihydrate have been characterized further. The crystal structure of both eprosartan anhydrate and eprosartan dihydrate have been determined from three-dimensional X-ray diffraction data collected on single crystals at ambient temperatures. The anhydrate crystallizes in the triclinic system, while the dihydrate crystallizes in the monoclinic system, with the following cell dimensions:

According to the instant invention, excipients, such as lactose, starch, poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (Povidone, PVP), xanthan gum, sodium alginate and gelatin, in the granulation, added as a dry powder or in solution, facilitate the conversion of the anhydrate into the dihydrated form of (E)-oc-[2-n-butyI-l-[(4-carboxyphenyl)methyl]- lH-imidazol-5-yl]methylene-2-thiophenepropionic acid monomethanesulfonate and they stabilize the dihydrate thus formed. Dihydrate formation is usually complete in about 2-10 minutes using a high shear wet granulation process in the preparation of solid dosage forms of (E)-a-[2-n-butyl-l-[(4-carboxyphenyl)20 methyl]-lH-imidazol-5-yl]methylene-2-thiophene-propionic acid monomethanesulfonate anhydrate. The granulation thus prepared, which contains the drug substance in the dihydrate form, can be dried, while keeping the drug substance in the hydrated form.
The process for preparing the solid dosage form containing the compound comprises: (i) producing granules containing (E)-a-[2-n-butyl-l-[(4-carboxyphenyl)methyl]-lH-imidazol-5-yl]methylene-2-thiophene-propionic acid monomethanesulfonate in its dihydrated form in the presence of water and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients and (ii) blending said granules with other pharmaceutically acceptable excipients to be filled into capsules or compressed into tablets exhibiting immediate release (100% release in a short period of time in a suitable dissolution medium) or modified release (sustained release or delayed release) profiles. This process for the preparation of solid dosage forms containing of (E)-a-[2-n-butyl-l-[(4-carboxyphenyl)methyl]-lH-imidazol-5-yl]methylene-2thiophene-propionic acid monomethanesulfonate dihydrate comprises the in situ formation of a stable dihydrate of the compound during wet granulation, said formation being facilitated and stabilized by an excipient.

The process for preparing the solid dosage forms in accordance with the 5 present invention may be carried out using a planetary mixture, a V-blender, a high shear granulator, a fluid bed granulator or a tableting machine. Optionally, the anhydrous form of (E)-a-[2-n-butyl-l-[(4-carboxyphenyl)methyI]-lH-imidazoI-5yl]methyIene-2-thiophenepropionic acid monomethanesulfonate may be granulated first with a suitable excipient using a conventional granulating equipment, said excipient stabilizing the dihydrate which is formed in about 2-10 minutes (time duration for a high shear granulation). Optionally, drying of the granulation may be avoided by using less water at the granulation stage, and the granulation thus produced is suitable for the preparation of direct compression immediate or modified (©/ release dosage forms. Optionally, the immediate release tablet cores may be coated with a membrane of a polymer imparting delayed or sustained release properties.
Thus, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition which comprises (E)-a-[2-n-butyl-l-[(4-carboxyphenyl)methyl]-lH-imidazol-5yl]methylene-2-thiophenepropionic acid monomethanesulfonate dihydrate and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
