Definitions

  • This invention relates to a crystalline polymorph form 2 of ethyl 4-(8-chloro-5,6,-dihydro-llH-benzo[5,6]cyclohepta[l,2-b]pyridin-ll- ylidene)-l-piperidene carboxylate (hereinafter "loratadine”) represented by the formula
  • compositions containing the polymorph form 2 and methods of using the polymorph form 2 to treat allergic reactions in mammals.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,282,233 discloses loratadine which possesses antihistaminic properties with substantially no sedative properties. This U.S. Patent also discloses methods of making loratadine and using it to treat allergic reactions in mammals, but does not disclose or suggest the possible existence of a different polymorphic form.
  • loratadine can exist in the form of two distinct crystalline polymorphs, each having distinctly different physical properties.
  • this invention provides crystalline polymorph form 2 loratadine aracterized by the following x-ray powder diffraction pattern expressed in terms of "d" spacing and relative intensities("RI”):
  • Figure 1 presents a x-ray spectrum of crystalline polymorph form 2 loratadine
  • Figure 2 presents the infrared spectrum of crystalline polymorph form 2 loratadine as a mull in mineral oil (Nujol) dispersion on a Mattson Galaxy 6021 FTLR spectrometer.
  • loratadine can exists as two distinctly different polymorphs designated as form 1-loratadine prepared as described in U.S. Patent No. 4,282,233 - and crystalline polymorph form 2 of loratadine prepared in accordance with the procedures of ths invention.
  • the infrared spectrum was obtained on a Mattson Galaxy 6021 FTIR spectrometer.
  • the mull was prepared in accordance with the USP procedure ⁇ 197M>. See also "Experiments in Techniques of OjLnfrared Spectroscopy", R.W. Hannah and J. S. Swinehart, Perkin-Elrner Corpation , September,1974, pps, 6-1 to 6-6.
  • the x-ray powder diffraction pattern was measured on a Philips APD3720 automated diffractometer system (model PW 1800).
  • the radiation source was copper (K-alpha) and the long fine focus tube connected to a Philips XRG 3100 x-ray generator operated at 45 V and 40 mA.
  • the take-off angle was 6 degrees and a graphite monochromator as used.
  • a scintillation detector was employed and data was acquired with a scan rate of 0.025 degrees per second, a step size of 0.010 and a step time of 40 seconds per degree.
  • compositions of this invention may contain in addition to an anti-allergically effective amount of polymorph form 1 loratadine as the active ingredient, inert pharmaceutically acceptable carriers that may be solids or liquids.
  • Solid form compositions include powders, tablets, dispersible granules, capsules, cachets, and suppositories.
  • a solid carrier can be one or more substances which may also act as diluants, flavoring agents, solubilizers, lubricants, suspending agents, binders or tablet disintegration agents; it can also be an encapsulating material.
  • the carrier is a finely divided solid which is in admixture with the finely divided active compound.
  • the active compound is mixed with carrier having the necessary binding properties in suitable proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired.
  • the powders and tablets preferably contain from about 5 to about 20 percent of the active ingredient.
  • Suitable solid carriers are magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar, lactose, pectin, dextrin, starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methycelluloseose, sodium carboxymethyl-cellulose, a low melting wax. cocoa butter and the like.
  • compositions is intended to include the formulation of the active compound with encapsulating material as carrier providing a capsule in which the active component (with or without other carriers) is surrounded by carrier, which is thus in association with it. Similarly, caches are included. Tablets, powders, cachets and capsules can be used as solid dosage forms suitable for oral administration.
  • a low melting wax such as a mixture of fatty acid glycerides or cocoa butter is first melted, and the active ingredient is dispersed homogeneously therein as by stirring. The molten homogeneous mixture is then poured into convenient sized molds, allowed to cool and thereby solidify.
  • Liquid form preparations include solutions, suspensions and emulsions. As an example may be mentioned water or water-propylene glycol solutions for topical administration. Liquid preparations can also be formulated in solution in aqueous polyethylene glycol solution.
  • Aqueous solutions suitable for oral use can be prepared by adding the active component in water and adding suitable colorants, flavors, stabilizing, sweetening, solubilizing and thickening agents as desired.
  • Aqueous suspensions suitable for oral use can e made by dispersing the finely divided active component in water with viscous material, i.e., natural or synthetic gums, resins, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose and other well-known suspending agents.
  • Topical formulation useful for nasal or ophthalmic administration are also contemplated.
  • Topical formulation suitable for nasal administration may be solutions or suspensions.
  • Ophthalmic formulations may be solutions, suspension or ointments.
  • Ointments usually contain lipophilic carriers such as mineral oil and /or petrolatum.
  • Solution for ophthalmic administration may contain sodium chloride, acid and/or base to adjust the pH as well as purified water and preservatives.
  • the anti-allergic effective amount of polymorph form 2 loratadine for topical administration varies from 0.1 to 5% by weight of the total pharmaceutical composition.
  • the preferred amount varies from 0.5 to 2% by weight of the total pharmaceutical composition.
  • the anti-allergic effective amount of polymorph form 2 loratadine for oral administration varies from about 1 to 50 mg/day, preferably about 2.5 to 20 mg/day and more preferably about 5 to 10 mg/day in single or divided doses.
  • the most preferred amount is 5.0 mg, once a day.
  • the precise dosage and dosage regimen may be varied depending upon the requirements of the patients, (e.g.. his or her sex, age) as well as the severity of the allergic condition being treated. Determination of the proper dosage and dosage regimen for a particular patient will be within the skill of the attending clinician.
  • the polymorph form 2 loratadine possess antihistaminic properties. These antihistaminic properties have been demonstrated in standard animal models, such as prevention of histamine - induced lethality in guinea pigs. Antihistaminic activity of form 2 has also been demonstrated in a monkey model.
  • Dissolve loratadine (available from Schering Corporation, Kenilworth, NJ, see also U.S. Patent No. 4,282,233) in hot toluene and reflux for about 10-15 minutes. Cool the solution to 60-65° and add t-butylmethyl ether at this temperature. Stir at 60-65° for about 15 minutes and then cool the mixture to 0-5°C. Slowly add additional t-butylmethyl ether and cool the mixture to -3 to -10°C. Stir for about 1-6 hours at this temperature, filter, wash with cold (-5 to -10°C) t-butylmethyl ether. Dry the solid under suction and then in a vacuum oven at 45°-55°C to a constant weight.
