Agomelatine new crystal and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to Agomelatine new crystal and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
Agomelatine (Agomelatine), chemical name: N-[2-(7-methoxyl group-1-naphthyl) ethyl] ethanamide, chemical structural formula is as follows:
Agomelatine has the pharmacological property of two aspects, and on the one hand, it is the agonist of melatonin energy system acceptor, and on the other hand, it is a kind of 5-HT
2CThe antagonist of acceptor.Therefore, Agomelatine possesses activity in central nervous system, and especially has activity in the treatment of insomnia that severe depression, seasonal affective disorder, somnopathy, cardiovascular disorder, digestive system, jet lag cause and fatigue, appetite disorder and obesity.
Agomelatine, its preparation and therepic use thereof have been described in European patent specification EP0447285.Servier Lab has described different crystal habit II, III, IV, V, the VI of Agomelatine respectively in patent CN200510071611.6, CN200610108396.7, CN200610108394.8, CN200610108395.2, CN200810174918.2, and by X-ray powder diffraction it is characterized.
The inventor has found the new crystal that another is stable, called after VII type in further investigation crystalline process.
Summary of the invention
Purpose of the present invention provides a kind of new crystal of Agomelatine, and this crystal formation is named the type into VII, and its X-ray powder diffraction pattern is about 11.7,17.4 at reflection angle 2 θ, and 18.2,19.4,20.4,21.6, there is charateristic avsorption band at 25.2 places.
Among the present invention, the mensuration of 2 θ values is used CuK α light source, is precision? .2 °, therefore, should " pact " in above-mentioned " X-ray powder diffraction pattern charateristic avsorption band reflection angle 2 θ are about " be defined as 2 θ? .2 °, represent above-mentioned 2 θ values of getting to allow certain reasonably limit of error, is its limit of error? .2 °.
Another object of the present invention is the preparation method who discloses Agomelatine new crystal VII.
Agomelatine new crystal VII of the present invention can be by conventional method preparation.For example, by small amount of ethanol, methyl alcohol, Virahol or its mixed solvent heating for dissolving, drip while hot and add water to muddiness, cooling crystallization; By small amount of acetone, butanone or its mixed solvent heating for dissolving, drip while hot and add water to muddiness, cooling crystallization; By amount of ethyl acetate, methyl acetate, ethyl formate, isopropyl acetate or its mixed solvent heating for dissolving, drip sherwood oil or normal hexane while hot to muddy, cooling crystallization.
