WO 99/65915 PCT/FR99/01371.
Polymorphic form of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate The present invention relates to a novel polymorp:h of clopid.ogrel hydrogen sulphate or methyl (+) - (S) -roc- (2-chlorophenyl) -4, 5, 6, 7-tetrahydro-thieno[3,2-c]pyridinyl-5-acetate hydrogen sulphate and to a method for its preparation. More particularly, the invention relates to the preparation of this polymorph called Form 2 and to the isolation of this compound in this novel crystalline form, as well as to the pharmaceutical compositions containing it.
Clopidogr~el hydrogen sulphate is an antithrombotic whiclh was described for the first time in EP 281459. The method of synthesis claimed in this patent allows the preparation of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate which will be called Form 1. It has now been discovered that clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate can exist in different polymorphic crystalline forms which differ from each other in their stability, in their physical properties, in their spectral characteristics and in their method of preparation.
Thus, one of these novel polymorphic forms is the subject of the present invention; it is described in the present application and will be termed Form 2.
The present invention also relates to a method for the preparation of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate in its pol~znorphic form 2.
Patent EP 281459 describes enantiomers of derivatives of tet:ra.hydrothienopyridines and of their pharmaceutically acceptable salts. EP 281459 specifically claims clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate, that is to say the dextrorotatory isomer, which possesses excellent anti-platelet aggregation activity whereas the levorotatory isomer is less active and less well tolerated.
Patent EP 281459, filed ten years ago, makes no reference to the existence of specific polymorphic forms of clopidogrel. hydrogen sulphate. The synthesis described in EP 2819:59 allows the preparation of the clopidogrel polymorX>h hydrogen sulphate Form 1.
EP 281459 does not ~;uggest the existence of various polymorphic forms of clopidogrel or of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate either.
According to all the teachings of the above documents, the dextrorotatory isomer of clopidogrel is prepared by salification of the racemic compound with an optically active acid such as 10-L-camphorsulphonic acid in acetone followed by successive recrystallizations c>f the salt until a product with a constant optical rogation is obtained, followed by the release of the dextrorotatory isomer from its salt by a base. Clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate is then obtained in a conventional manner by dissolving the said base in acetone cooled on ice and adding concentrated sulphuric acid until precipitation occurs. The precipitate thus obtained is then isolated by filtration, washed and dried to give clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate in the form of white crystals whose melting point is 184°C and whose optical rotation is +55.1° (c = 1.891/CH30H).
The methods of synthesis described in the prior art allow only the synthesis of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate Form 1.
Thus, the present invention relates to the polymorphic form, termed Form 2, of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate, which like Form 1 of this compound is useful as a medicament for the prophylaxis and the treatment of thrombosis by acting as a platelet aggregation inhibitor. As regards the use of clopidogrel and of its salts, reference may be made to Drugs of the Future 1993, 18, 2, 107-112. Clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate polymorph Form 2 is therefore used as active ingredient fo:r the preparation of a medicament, in combination with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, in the same indications as Form 1.
It has now been found that if clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate is crystallized from a solvent, it is possible to obtain either the crystalline form corresponding to that: of the product obtained according to EP 281459 cited above, Form 1, or a novel, very stable, crystalline form having a well-defined structure, designated hereinafter Form 2. More particularly, it has been found that the novel crystalline form of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate, Form 2, is at least as stable as the Form 1 described and that it does not spontaneously convert to the previously known Form 1. Furthermore, the powder obtained from Form 2 is more compact and a lot less electrostatic than that obtained from Form 1 and can therefore be more easily subjected to any treatment under the usual conditions of pharmaceutical technology and in particular of industrial galenic pharmacology.
It has, moreover, been observed that Form 2 exhibits a lower solubility than Form 1 resulting from its higher thermodynamic stability.
The differE~nce between the novel crystalline form of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate according to the present invention, Form 2 and Form 1 is evident from an examination of Figures 1 to 4, whereas Figures 5 to 7 show the structure in. the crystals of Form 2.
Figures 1 to 7 are characterized as follows:
- Figure 1 gives the X-ray diffractogram of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate Form 1 powder;
- Figure 2 shows t:he X-ray diffractogram of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate Form 2 powder;
- Figure 3 shows the infrared spectrum of Form 2;
- Figure 4 shows the infrared spectrum of Form 1;
- Figure 5 shows the structural formula of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate with numbering of the atoms in the crystalline Form 2;
- Figure 6 shows the spatial conformation of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate Form 2;
- FiQure 7 shows the stacking of the clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate Form 2 molecules in the mesh of 5 the crystal.
It has been observed, from the crystallographic data, that the crystalline structure of Form 1 contains t:wo free cations in the clopidogrel crystal and two frees bisulphate anions. The two free cations are of a similar conformation.
According to the crystallographic data for Form 2, it has been observed that it contains a free cation in the crystal-bisulphate anion pair.
In the two forms, the cations are axially protonated and the nitrogen atom is of R configuration;
the conformation of the cations in Form 2 is different from that observed in Form 1.
In the molecular arrangement of the two crystalline forms, no site is occupied by solvent molecules.
The arrangement of the anions is very different from one to the other of the two crystalline structures. The crystalline structure of Form 2, of the orthorhombic type, is less dense (1.462 g/cm3) than the crystalline structure of Form 1, of the monoclinic type, (1.505 g/cm3).

Polymorphic form of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate The present invention relates to a novel polymorp:h of clopid.ogrel hydrogen sulphate or methyl (+) - (S) -roc- (2-chlorophenyl) -4, 5, 6, 7-tetrahydro-thieno[3,2-c]pyridinyl-5-acetate hydrogen sulphate and to a method for its preparation. More particularly, the invention relates to the preparation of this polymorph called Form 2 and to the isolation of this compound in this novel crystalline form, as well as to the pharmaceutical compositions containing it.
Clopidogr~el hydrogen sulphate is an antithrombotic whiclh was described for the first time in EP 281459. The method of synthesis claimed in this patent allows the preparation of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate which will be called Form 1. It has now been discovered that clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate can exist in different polymorphic crystalline forms which differ from each other in their stability, in their physical properties, in their spectral characteristics and in their method of preparation.
Thus, one of these novel polymorphic forms is the subject of the present invention; it is described in the present application and will be termed Form 2.
The present invention also relates to a method for the preparation of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate in its pol~znorphic form 2.
Patent EP 281459 describes enantiomers of derivatives of tet:ra.hydrothienopyridines and of their pharmaceutically acceptable salts. EP 281459 specifically claims clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate, that is to say the dextrorotatory isomer, which possesses excellent anti-platelet aggregation activity whereas the levorotatory isomer is less active and less well tolerated.
Patent EP 281459, filed ten years ago, makes no reference to the existence of specific polymorphic forms of clopidogrel. hydrogen sulphate. The synthesis described in EP 2819:59 allows the preparation of the clopidogrel polymorX>h hydrogen sulphate Form 1.
EP 281459 does not ~;uggest the existence of various polymorphic forms of clopidogrel or of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate either.
According to all the teachings of the above documents, the dextrorotatory isomer of clopidogrel is prepared by salification of the racemic compound with an optically active acid such as 10-L-camphorsulphonic acid in acetone followed by successive recrystallizations c>f the salt until a product with a constant optical rogation is obtained, followed by the release of the dextrorotatory isomer from its salt by a base. Clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate is then obtained in a conventional manner by dissolving the said base in acetone cooled on ice and adding concentrated sulphuric acid until precipitation occurs. The precipitate thus obtained is then isolated by filtration, washed and dried to give clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate in the form of white crystals whose melting point is 184°C and whose optical rotation is +55.1° (c = 1.891/CH30H).
The methods of synthesis described in the prior art allow only the synthesis of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate Form 1.
Thus, the present invention relates to the polymorphic form, termed Form 2, of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate, which like Form 1 of this compound is useful as a medicament for the prophylaxis and the treatment of thrombosis by acting as a platelet aggregation inhibitor. As regards the use of clopidogrel and of its salts, reference may be made to Drugs of the Future 1993, 18, 2, 107-112. Clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate polymorph Form 2 is therefore used as active ingredient fo:r the preparation of a medicament, in combination with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, in the same indications as Form 1.
It has now been found that if clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate is crystallized from a solvent, it is possible to obtain either the crystalline form corresponding to that: of the product obtained according to EP 281459 cited above, Form 1, or a novel, very stable, crystalline form having a well-defined structure, designated hereinafter Form 2. More particularly, it has been found that the novel crystalline form of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate, Form 2, is at least as stable as the Form 1 described and that it does not spontaneously convert to the previously known Form 1. Furthermore, the powder obtained from Form 2 is more compact and a lot less electrostatic than that obtained from Form 1 and can therefore be more easily subjected to any treatment under the usual conditions of pharmaceutical technology and in particular of industrial galenic pharmacology.
It has, moreover, been observed that Form 2 exhibits a lower solubility than Form 1 resulting from its higher thermodynamic stability.
The differE~nce between the novel crystalline form of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate according to the present invention, Form 2 and Form 1 is evident from an examination of Figures 1 to 4, whereas Figures 5 to 7 show the structure in. the crystals of Form 2.
Figures 1 to 7 are characterized as follows:
- Figure 1 gives the X-ray diffractogram of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate Form 1 powder;
- Figure 2 shows t:he X-ray diffractogram of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate Form 2 powder;
- Figure 3 shows the infrared spectrum of Form 2;
- Figure 4 shows the infrared spectrum of Form 1;
- Figure 5 shows the structural formula of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate with numbering of the atoms in the crystalline Form 2;
- Figure 6 shows the spatial conformation of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate Form 2;
- FiQure 7 shows the stacking of the clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate Form 2 molecules in the mesh of 5 the crystal.
It has been observed, from the crystallographic data, that the crystalline structure of Form 1 contains t:wo free cations in the clopidogrel crystal and two frees bisulphate anions. The two free cations are of a similar conformation.
According to the crystallographic data for Form 2, it has been observed that it contains a free cation in the crystal-bisulphate anion pair.
In the two forms, the cations are axially protonated and the nitrogen atom is of R configuration;
the conformation of the cations in Form 2 is different from that observed in Form 1.
In the molecular arrangement of the two crystalline forms, no site is occupied by solvent molecules.
The arrangement of the anions is very different from one to the other of the two crystalline structures. The crystalline structure of Form 2, of the orthorhombic type, is less dense (1.462 g/cm3) than the crystalline structure of Form 1, of the monoclinic type, (1.505 g/cm3).
According to another of its aspects, the subject of the present invention is a method for the preparation of clopi.dogrel hydrogen sulphate Form 2 characterized in that:
(a) methyl (+)-(S)-~a-(2-chlorophenyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[3,2-c]pyridinyl-5-acetate camphorsulphonate is dissolved in an organic solvent, (b) camphorsulphonic acid is extracted with an aqueous alkaline solution of potassium carbonate and washed with wager, (c) the organic phase is concentrated under vacuum and the concentration residue is taken up in acetone, (d) 80$ sulphuric acid is added, (e) the mixture is heated under reflux, the product crystallizes, t:he mixture is cooled, filtered and the crystals are washed and then dried under reduced pressure to give clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate Form .L , (f) the resulting aqueous-acetone mother liquors subsequently rE~lease, after 3 to 6 months, crystals of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate Form 2.
Thus, the present invention relates to a method for the preparation of (+)-(S)-clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate Form 2, characterized in that:
The aqueous-acetone mother liquors resulting from the crystallization of (+)-(S)-clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate Form 1 sub~;equently release, after 3 to 6 months, crystals of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate Form 2.
The aqueous-acetone mother liquors resulting from the crystallization of (+)-(S)-clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate Form 1 contain from 0.3 to 1~ of water.
They contain up to about 10~ of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate, this quantity being calculated from the quantity of methyl (+)-(S)-a-(2-chlorophenyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroth.ieno[3,2-c]pyridinyl-5-acetate camphorsulphonate used during the conversion to hydrogen sulphate.
These aqueous-acetone mother liquors release slowly, after a period of three to six months, at a temperature of less than 40°C, clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate Form 2.
According to another of its aspects, the present invention relates to another method for the preparation of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate Form 2, characterized in that:
(a) methyl (+)-(S)-oc-(2-chlorophenyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[3,2-c]pyridinyl-5-acetate camphorsulphonate is dissolved in an organic solvent, (b) camphorsulphonic acid is extracted with an aqueous alkaline solution of potassium carbonate and washed with wager, (c) the organic ph<~se is concentrated under vacuum and the concentrat_Lon residue is taken up in acetone, (d) 96~ sulphuric acid at 20°C is added and the mixture is seeded with clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate Form 2, (e) the product crystallizes, the mixture is cooled, filtered and the crystals are washed and then dried under reduced pressure to give clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate Form 2.
Another a:Lternative consists in subjecting the crystalline suspension to mechanical shearing with the aid of a shearing device. This device can reach a rotating speed of about 10,000 to 15,000 revolutions per minute. Devices having these characteristics are for example of the 'rurrax~ type marketed by IKA-Werke (DE). These devices are moreover suitable for the treatment of industrial quantities.
The principle is to obtain, by grinding, fine particles from a base solution containing only a fraction of the total sulphuric acid. The remaining portion will then be poured in slowly in order to promote crystalline growth. Trials were carried out starting with 10~ of the required sulphuric acid poured in at the beginning.

Thus, the subject of the present invention is clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate Form 2, characterized by the X-ray diffraction profile of the powder given in TABLE I.
More particularly, Form 2 is also characterized by a melting point, determined by differential enthalpy analysis (DSC), of 176°C and by characteristic absorptions in the infrared region and in the near-infrared region.
Some physical properties and the behaviour of the novel crystalline form of clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate according to the present invention are completely different from those of Form 1 as has been demonstrated by examining the two forms by conventional methods and techniques.
The X-ray diffraction profile of the powder (diffraction angle) was established with a Siemens TM
D500TT diffractometer. The characteristic powder diffractograms between 2 and 40° at Bragg 2A (2 theta, deg., for CuKa, ~,=1.542 ~) are presented in Figure 1 for Form 1 and in Figure 2 for Form 2.

X-Ray crystallography study, in particular the crystallography data of TABLE I, the atomic coordinates of TABLE VI, the bond length in TABLE VII, 10 the angles between the bonds in TABLE VIII and the characteristic angles of twist in TABLE IX provide proof of the proposed structure illustrated in Figures 5 and 6.
Examination under a microscope revealed that 15 the crystals of the novel Form 2 are morphologically different from those of Form 1.
The crystals of Form 1 exist in the form of irregular plates, whereas the crystals of Form 2 exist in the form of agglomerates.
20 By virtue of its low electrostaticity compared with that of Form 1, it is therefore particularly suitable for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of any disease in which an. antithrombotic is indicated.
Thus, according to another of its aspects, the subject of the present invention is pharmaceutical compositions containing, as active ingredient, clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate Form 2 characterized by the X-ray diffraction profile of the powder illustrated in TABLE I.
Preferably, the clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate Form 2 according to the present invention is formulated in pharmaceutical compositions for oral administration containing 75 mg of active ingredient per dosage unit:, in the form of a mixture with at least one pharmaceutical excipient.
When a solid composition in the form of tablets is prepared., the principal active ingredient is mixed with a pharmaceutical carrier, such as gelatin"
starch, lactose, magnesium stearate, talc, gum arabic and the like. The tablets may be coated with sucrose or other appropriate substances or alternatively they may be processed such that they have a prolonged or delayed activity and that they continuously release a predetermined quantity of active ingredient.
A preparation in the form of gelatin capsules is obtained by mixing the active ingredient with a diluent and pouring the mixture obtained into soft or hard gelatin capsules.
The powders or granules dispersible in water may contain the active ingredient in the form of a mixture with dispensing agents or wetting agents, or suspending agents, such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, as well as with sweeteners, or flavour correctors.
If it is desired to formulate the active ingredient for rectal administration, suppositories are used which are prepared with binders which melt at the rectal temperature, for example coco butter or polyethylene glycols.
For paren.teral administration, aqueous suspensions, saline solutions or sterile and injectable solutions are used.
The active ingredient may also be formulated in the form of microcapsules, optionally with one or more carriers or additives.
The following EXAMPLES illustrate the invention without however limiting it.

X-Ray crystallography study, in particular the crystallography data of TABLE I, the atomic coordinates of TABLE VI, the bond length in TABLE VII, 10 the angles between the bonds in TABLE VIII and the characteristic angles of twist in TABLE IX provide proof of the proposed structure illustrated in Figures 5 and 6.
Examination under a microscope revealed that 15 the crystals of the novel Form 2 are morphologically different from those of Form 1.
The crystals of Form 1 exist in the form of irregular plates, whereas the crystals of Form 2 exist in the form of agglomerates.
20 By virtue of its low electrostaticity compared with that of Form 1, it is therefore particularly suitable for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of any disease in which an. antithrombotic is indicated.
Thus, according to another of its aspects, the subject of the present invention is pharmaceutical compositions containing, as active ingredient, clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate Form 2 characterized by the X-ray diffraction profile of the powder illustrated in TABLE I.
Preferably, the clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate Form 2 according to the present invention is formulated in pharmaceutical compositions for oral administration containing 75 mg of active ingredient per dosage unit:, in the form of a mixture with at least one pharmaceutical excipient.
When a solid composition in the form of tablets is prepared., the principal active ingredient is mixed with a pharmaceutical carrier, such as gelatin"
starch, lactose, magnesium stearate, talc, gum arabic and the like. The tablets may be coated with sucrose or other appropriate substances or alternatively they may be processed such that they have a prolonged or delayed activity and that they continuously release a predetermined quantity of active ingredient.
A preparation in the form of gelatin capsules is obtained by mixing the active ingredient with a diluent and pouring the mixture obtained into soft or hard gelatin capsules.
The powders or granules dispersible in water may contain the active ingredient in the form of a mixture with dispensing agents or wetting agents, or suspending agents, such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, as well as with sweeteners, or flavour correctors.
If it is desired to formulate the active ingredient for rectal administration, suppositories are used which are prepared with binders which melt at the rectal temperature, for example coco butter or polyethylene glycols.
For paren.teral administration, aqueous suspensions, saline solutions or sterile and injectable solutions are used.
The active ingredient may also be formulated in the form of microcapsules, optionally with one or more carriers or additives.
The following EXAMPLES illustrate the invention without however limiting it.
