2 Et in a pharmaceutical composition.
Background Art Perindopril and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and more especially its tert-butylamine salt, have valuable pharmacological properties.
The principal property of these compounds is that of inhibiting angiotensin I converting enzyme (or kininase II), which prevents, on the one hand, conversion of the decapeptide angiotensin I to the octapeptide angiotensin II (a vasoconstrictor) and, on the other hand, degradation of bradykinin (a vasodilator) to an inactive peptide.
Those two actions contribute to the beneficial effects of perindopril in cardiovascular disease, more especially in arterial hypertension and heart failure.
In view of the pharmaceutical value of this compound, it has been of prime importance to obtain it with excellent purity. It has also been important to be able to synthesise it by means of a process that can readily be converted to the industrial scale, especially in a form that allows rapid filtration and drying. Finally, any crystalline form should be reproducible, easily formulated and sufficiently stable to allow its storage for long periods without particular requirements for temperature, light, humidity or oxygen level.
Although there are industrial synthesis processes for perindopril, conditions for obtaining perindopril in a form that exhibits those characteristics in a reproducible manner have been difficult to achieve.
The Applicant has now found that a particular salt of perindopril, the tert-butylamine salt, can be obtained in a well defined, reproducible crystalline form that especially exhibits valuable characteristics of filtration, drying, stability and ease of formulation.
