Description
PAROXETINE SALTS
The present invention relates to novel compounds, to processes for preparing them and to their use in treating medical disorders.
Pharmaceutical products with antidepressant and anti-Parkinson properties are described in US-A-3912743 and US-A-4007196. An especially important compound among those disclosed is paroxetine, the (-)trans isomer of 4-(4'-fluorophenyl)-3-(3',4'-methylenedioxy- phenoxymethyl)-piperidine. This compound is used in therapy as the hydrochloride salt for the treatment and prophylaxis of inter alia depression, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and panic.
We have now surprisingly discovered novel salts of paroxetine which may be used as an alternative to the currently marketed hydrochloride, or as an intermediate in the preparation of the hydrochloride.
According to the present invention there is provided a novel salt of paroxetine with an acid selected from the group consisting of hydrobromic, hydroiodic, hexanoic, malic, aspartic, adipic, palmitic, stearic, ethylenediaminetetraacetic (EDTA), naphthoic, naphthalenesulphonic, pamoic, gluconic, salicylic, hydroxynaphthoic and hydroxybutyric acids.
Malic, aspartic and gluconic acids exist in enantiomeric forms and this invention includes salts with both the D and L-acids and racemic mixtures thereof.
Malic, aspartic, adipic, EDTA and pamoic acids are dibasic and the invention therefore includes both salts in which the ratio of paroxetine to acid (by mole) is 1: 1 and salts in which the ratio of paroxetine to acid (by mole) is 2: 1, as well as mixed salts with, for example, an alkali metal or ammonium cation.
Salts of this invention with naphthoic acid include paroxetine 1- or 2-naphthoate; salts with naphthalenesulphonic include paroxetine 1- or 2-naphthalene sulphonate; salts with
hydroxynaphthoic include salts of paroxetine with 2-hydroxy- 1 -naphthoic acid, 1-hydroxy- 2-naphthoic acid, 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, 6-hydroxy-l -naphthoic acid or 3-hydroxy-2- naphthoic acid; salts with hydroxybutyric acid include paroxetine 4-hydroxybutyrate.
In one aspect the novel salts of this invention are provided in non-crystalline form, which may take the form of a solid or an oil. The oil is preferably absorbed on a solid carrier, especially a carrier that is usable as a component of a pharmaceutical composition.
In another aspect the novel salts of this invention are provided in crystalline form. When the crystalline form exists as more than one polymorph, each polymorph forms another aspect of this invention.
Paroxetine salts may be prepared by contacting stoichiometric amounts of the acid (enantiomer or racemic mixture) and paroxetine free base. Alternatively the acid may be used in excess, usually no more than 1.5 equivalents. Preferably the base and/or the acid is in solution, more preferably both are in solution. Mixed salts can be prepared by forming the precursor 1 : 1 or hydrogen salt (of paroxetine with the acid, or the metal or ammonium ion with the acid) in situ, or using it preformed in solution, and contacting it in solution with a solution containing the metal or ammonium ion, or treating a metal or ammonium hydrogen malate with paroxetine.
Most commonly used solvents are suitable for mobilising paroxetine free base, for example toluene, alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propan-2-ol, esters such as ethyl acetate, ketones such as acetone and butanone, halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane, and ethers such as tetrahydrofuran and diethyl ether. The concentration of paroxetine base is preferably in the range 5 to 50% weight/volume, more preferably in the range 10 to 30%.
Suitable solvents for the acids used in accordance with the present invention include water, lower alcohols such as methanol, ethanol and isopropanol, ethers such as diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran, hydrocarbons such as toluene and benzene, esters such as ethyl acetate, ketones such as acetone, butanone and isobutyl methyl ketone, and halogenated hydrocarbons such as chloroform.

Gluconic acid is preferably added as an aqueous solution optionally further diluted with a miscible organic solvent. The concentration of gluconic acid is preferably in the range 0.1 to 4 molar, preferably 1 to 3 molar.
The hydroxynaphthoic acids are preferably added as a solid or in solution, for example in an ether such as diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran, or a lower alcohol such as methanol,

ethanol, or propan-2-ol, or benzene, or toluene, or a mixture of solvents. The concentration of hydroxynaphthoic acid solutions are preferably in the range 0.1 to 2 molar, preferably between 0.3 and 1 molar.
Salicylic acid is preferably added as a solid or in solution, for example in water or an ether such as diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran, a ketone such as acetone, butanone, or isobutyl methyl ketone, chloroform, toluene, or a lower alcohol such as methanol, ethanol, or propan-2-ol, or a mixture of solvents. The concentration of salicylic acid solutions are preferably in the range 0.1 to 4 molar, preferably between 0.5 and 2 molar.
In the case of of 4-hydroxybutyric acid, a double decomposition approach may be employed in which a salt of 4-hydroxybutyric acid, for example the sodium salt, is contacted in solution with a salt of paroxetine, for example the hydrochloride salt. The salts are preferably chosen so that the by-product salt (sodium chloride, in the example) is readily removed from solution. This approach is particularly convenient as a result of the tendency of 4-hydroxybutyric acid to form a lactone. Acid salts of paroxetine may be dissolved in a wide range of solvents, including water, alcohols, ketones, hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons, esters and ethers. Particularly suitable solvents for paroxetine hydrochloride are methanol, propan-2-ol, dichloromethane, toluene and acetone. The 4- hydroxybutyric acid or salt thereof is preferably added to a solution of paroxetine free base or its salt as a solid or in solution, for example in water or an ether such as diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran, a ketone such as acetone, butanone, or isobutyl methyl ketone, or a lower alcohol such as methanol, ethanol, or propan-2-ol, or a mixture of solvents. The concentration of 4-hydroxybutyric acid solutions are preferably in the range 0.1 to 5 molar, preferably between 0.5 and 2 molar.
In general, elevated temperatures may be used to enhance solubility. The acids may also be used in the form of a soluble salt such as the ammonium salt or a salt of an amine, for example ethylamine or diethylamine.
The paroxetine salts may be isolated in solid form by conventional means from a solution thereof obtained as above. For example, the non-crystalline salts may be prepared by
-5-
SUBSTTTU SHEET RULE 26
precipitation, spray drying, and freeze drying of solutions, or vacuum drying of oils, or solidification of melts obtained from reaction of the free base and the acid.
The crystalline salts may be prepared by directly crystallising from a solvent in which the product has limited solubility, or by triturating or otherwise crystallising a non-crystalline salt. An improved yield of the salt is obtained by evaporation of some or all of the solvent or by crystallisation at elevated temperature followed by controlled cooling, preferably in stages. Careful control of precipitation temperature and seeding may be used to improve the reproducibity of the production process and the particle size distribution and form of the product.
An alternative method of preparing paroxetine salts is to start with a salt of paroxetine with an organic acid, such as acetic acid or maleic acid. Use of another salt of paroxetine as a starting material is suitable for preparation of the crystalline salt or, if a volatile acid such as acetic acid is used, non-crystalline salts by methods that involve evaporation (such as freeze-drying and spray-drying).
Prior to the isolation of the paroxetine salt, water may be removed by azeotropic distillation to avoid the formation of hydrates or to obtain the product in anhydrous form. In that case, suitable solvents for the solution of the salt are those which form an azeotrope with water, such as toluene, pyridine, isopropanol, isobutyl methyl ketone and xylene. It should also be appreciated that mixtures of solvents can also be used to aid the azeotropic removal of water.
More generally, crystallization may be carried out from any solvent which allows formation of the desired crystal structure, using seeds of the desired structure where necessary or desirable. Clearly it is convenient where possible to crystallise from the solvent used for salt formation. When polymorphs exist, individual polymorphs are preferably crystallized directly from a solution of the salt, although recrystallizing a solution of one polymorph using seeds of another polymorph may also be carried out.

Example 40
A round bottom flask was charged with paroxetine hydrochloride anhydrate (4.03 g, 11 rnmoles) and propan-2-ol (150 ml), and the mixture was heated to ensure total dissolution of paroxetine hydrochloride. To this solution was added, in an atmosphere of nitrogen, 4- hydroxybutyric acid sodium salt (1.39 g, 11 mmoles) in ethanol (100 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred and a white precipitate formed. This precipitate was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated at a reduced pressure to afford a pink glassy solid of amorphous paroxetine 4-hydroxybutyrate.
Yield = 5.01 g
Example 41: Recrystallisation of paroxetine 4-hydroxybutyrate
A round bottom flask equipped with a condenser was charged with paroxetine 4- hydroxybutyrate prepared in example 1 (2.0 g) and ethyl acetate (15 ml). The reaction was brought to reflux temperature, cooled to room temperature and seeded with crystals of paroxetine 4-hydroxybutyrate. The reaction was cooled to 0-4°C whereupon crystallisation commenced. After stirring for 1 hour, the crystals were collected by filtration under a nitrogen atmosphere and dried at a reduced pressure over phosphorous pentoxide to afford crystalline paroxetine 4-hydroxybutyrate.
Yield = 1.51 g
Example 42: Recrystallisation of paroxetine 4-hydroxybutyrate
Further samples of crystalline paroxetine 4-hydroxybutyrate were prepared by adding amorphous paroxetine 4-hydroxybutyrate in the minimum amount of refluxing solvent, for example toluene and CHCI3. The reaction was subsequently cooled to 0-4°C and seeded to induce crystallisation. The crystals were collected under an atmosphere of nitrogen and dried over P2O5 at reduced pressure to afford crystalline paroxetine 4-hydroxybutyrate.
