The invention also relates to use of pure tolterodine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or tolterodine dimer as reference standards or reference marl~ers for checl~ing the purity of tolterodine.
Bacl~ground of the Invention Tolterodine is a new potent and competitive muscarinic receptor antagonist intended for the treatment of urinary urge incontinence and other symptoms of bladder over activity.

In order to secure marketing approval for a new drug product, a drug manufacturer must submit detailed evidence to the appropriate regulatory authorities to show that the product is suitable for release on to the market. The regulatory authorities must be satisfied, inter alia that the active agent is acceptable for administration to humans and that the particular formulation which is to be marlceted is free from impurities at the time of release and has an appropriate shelf life.
submissions made to regulatory authorities therefore typically include analytical records, which demonstrate:
(a) that impurities are absent from the drug at the time of manufacture, or are present only at negligible level, and (b) that the storage stability i.e., shelf life of the drug is acceptable.
These details are usually obtained by testing the drug against an external standard, or reference marker, which is a pure sample of a potential impurity or a potential degradation product. Tolterodine dimer has a possibility of being used as a reference marlcer compound in identifying the purity of the tolterodine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
Potential impurities in pharmaceutically active agents and formulations containing them include residual amounts of synthetic precursors to the active agent, by-products which arise during synthesis of the active agent, residual solvents, isomers of active agent, excipients used in the preparation of the pharmaceutical formulation, and unidentified adventitious substances. Other impurities which may appear on storage include substances resulting from degradation of the active agent, for instance by oxidation or hydrolysis.
Tolterodine easily forms dimes. However, there is no reference of the tolterodine dimes in the literature.

The details of one or more embodiments of the inventions are set forth in the description below. Other features, objects and advantages of the inventions will be apparent from the description and claims.
Detailed Description of the Invention The inventors have identified that the tolterodine dimer is formed as an impurity during the synthesis of tolterodine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The inventors have isolated tolterodine dimer which can be used as a reference standard for determination of the purity of tolterodine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
The process involves a) heating N,N-diisopropyl-3-(2-methoxy-5-methylphenyl)-3-phenylpropylamine of Formula III with aqueous hydrobromic acid in the presence of acetic acid to get crude tolterodine hydrobromide, <.
N

FORMULA III
b) subjecting the crude tolterodine hydrobromide to preparative HPLC and eluting with a gradient mobile phase to get eluent containing tolterodine dimer, and c) isolating the pure tolterodine dimer from the eluent.

N, N-diisopropyl-3-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-3-phenylpropylamine may be heated at reflux temperature for 10-12 hours with hydrobromic acid in the presence of acetic acid. The reaction mass may be cooled to ambient temperature and the precipitated product may be isolated by conventional means and dried. The crude product so obtained may be repeatedly loaded on YMC-Pack ODS-A (S00 x 30 mm I. D.) column. Mobile phase used may be a gradient of phosphate buffer (2gm KH2P04 / lit of distilled water) and acetonitrile in 8:2 to 2:8 v/v ratio. The fractions containing the dimes impurity may be further combined and concentrated to dryness. The pure tolterodine dimes can then be further purified by crystallization or column chromatography.
The inventors also have developed a process of depletion of tolterodine dimes impurity from tolterodine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, by obtaining a solution of crude tolterodine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in one or more solvents; and recovering the pure tolterodine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof by the removal of the solvent. The inventors also have developed pharmaceutical compositions that contain the pure tolterodine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof containing less than 0.5% tolterdine dimes, for example, less than 0.05%
tolterodine dimes, in admixture with one or more solid or liquid pharmaceutical diluents, carriers, and/or excipients. These pharmaceutical compositions may be used for treating a patient in need of a treatment for urinary urge incontinence and other symptoms of bladder over activity.
The tolterodine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof may be prepared by the methods known in the literature. In particular, it may be prepared using the reactions and techW ques described in our PCT patent application WO 03/014060 which is incorporated herein as reference.
In general, the solution of crude tolterodine may be obtained by dissolving crude tolterodine in a suitable solvent. Alternatively, such a solution may be obtained directly from a reaction in which tolterodine is formed. The solvent containing crude tolterodine may be heated to obtain a solution. It can be heated from about 30°C to about reflux temperature of the solvent used, for example from about 30°C to about 100°C. In particular, it can be heated from about 40°C to about 60°C. It can be heated from about 15 minutes to about 10 hours. More particularly, it can be heated for about 2-3 hours. The product may be isolated from the solution by a technique which includes, for example, distillation, distillation under vacuum, filtration, filtration under vacuum, decantation, and centrifugation.
The term "suitable solvent" includes any solvent or solvent mixture in which crude tolterodine is soluble, including, for example, lower allcanol, lcetone, polar aprotic solvent and mixtures thereof. Examples of alkanol include those primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols having from one to six carbon atoms. Suitable lower alkanol solvents include methanol, ethanol, denatured spirit, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butaiiol, isobutanol and t-butanol.
A suitable ketone includes one or more of acetone, 2-butanone, and 4-methylpentan-2-one. Examples of polar aprotic solvents include solvents such as tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, 1,4-dioxane and N-methylpyrrolidone. Mixtures of all of these solvents are also contemplated.
In one aspect, the solution containing crude tolterodine can be treated with activated carbon and filtered while hot.
W another aspect, additional or another solvent can be added to the cleaa-solution to precipitate the pure tolterodine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
The product obtained may be further or additionally dried to achieve the desired moisture values. For example the product may be further or additionally dried in a tray drier, dried under vacumn and/or in a Fluid Eed Drier.
Methods lmown in the art may be used with the process of this invention to enhance any aspect of this invention. For example, the solution containing the crude tolterodine may be heated for dissolution, or may be cooled to separate out the product or the slurry may further be cooled prior to filtration or the solution may be seeded with seed crystals of the product to enhance precipitation of the product.
The present invention is further illustrated by the following examples which are provided merely to be exemplary of the invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Although the examples are directed to the tolterodine hydrobromide and tolterodine tartrate, the principles described in these examples can be applied to other salts of tolterodine.
