The present invention encompasses the Polymorph isolated in pure form or when admixed with other materials, for example the known forms of Compound I or any other material.
Thus in one aspect there is provided the Polymorph in isolated form.
In a further aspect there is provided the Polymorph in pure form.
In yet a further aspect there is provided the Polymorph in crystalline form. The invention also provides a process for preparing the Polymorph, characterised in that a solution of Compound (I) in denatured ethanol at an elevated temperature, preferably in the range of from 65 °C to 70 °C for example 67.5 °C, is cooled preferably to a temperature in the range of from 20 °C to 25°C, so as to provide crystallisation of the Polymorph. Preferably, the solution is filtered prior to cooling. In the above-mentioned process the solution may be seeded with the Polymorph to induce crystallisation but this is not essential.
The Polymorph is then recovered from the denatured ethanol. The solution of Compound (I) in the denatured ethanol is conveniently prepared by dissolving Compound (I) in the required amount of denatured ethanol at an elevated temperature, for example 60°C or 70°C. Conveniently the Polymorph is recovered from the denatured ethanol by filtration and subsequent drying.
In a further aspect, the invention provides a process for converting Polymorph to Compound (I), wherein a solution of Polymorph in a suitable solvent, such as acetone or ethanol, is seeded with Compound (I); preferably the reaction is carried out in an inert atmosphere, such as nitrogen. Generally, the solution of Polymorph is obtained by dissolving Polymorph at an elevated temperature in the solvent, such as acetone or ethanol.

When used herein "denatured ethanol" means ethanol containing small amounts of methanol, usually up to 5% v/v of methanol, such as from 0.9% v/v to 5% v/v of methanol, for example ethanol containing 4%v/v of methanol. When used herein the term 'prophylaxis of conditions associated with diabetes mellitus' includes the treatment of conditions such as insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, hyperinsulinaemia and gestational diabetes.
Diabetes mellitus preferably means Type II diabetes mellitus. Conditions associated with diabetes include hyperglycaemia and insulin resistance and obesity. Further conditions associated with diabetes include hypertension, cardiovascular disease, especially atherosclerosis, certain eating disorders, in particular the regulation of appetite and food intake in subjects suffering from disorders associated with under-eating, such as anorexia nervosa, and disorders associated with over-eating, such as obesity and anorexia bulimia. Additional conditions associated with diabetes include polycystic ovarian syndrome and steroid induced insulin resistance.
The complications of conditions associated with diabetes mellitus encompassed herein includes renal disease, especially renal disease associated with the development of Type II diabetes including diabetic nephropathy, glomerulonephritis, glomerular sclerosis, nephrotic syndrome, hypertensive nephrosclerosis and end stage renal disease.
As mentioned above the compound of the invention has useful therapeutic properties: The present invention accordingly the Polymorph for use as an active therapeutic substance.
More particularly, the present invention provides the Polymorph for use in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of diabetes mellitus, conditions associated with diabetes mellitus and certain complications thereof.
The Polymorph may be administered per se or, preferably, as a pharmaceutical composition also comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The formulation of the Polymorph and dosages thereof are generally as disclosed for Compound (I) in International Patent Application, Publication Number WO94/05659 or WO98/55122.
Accordingly, the present invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising the Polymorph and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier therefor.
The Polymorph is normally administered in unit dosage form.
The active compound may be administered by any suitable route but usually by the oral or parenteral routes. For such use, the compound will normally be employed in the form of a pharmaceutical composition in association with a pharmaceutical carrier, diluent and/or excipient, although the exact form of the composition will naturally depend on the mode of administration.

The compound, depending on the vehicle and the concentration, can be either suspended or dissolved. Parenteral solutions are normally prepared by dissolving the active compound in a vehicle and filter sterilising before filling into a suitable vial or ampoule and sealing. Advantageously, adjuvants such as a local anaesthetic, preservatives and buffering agents are also dissolved in the vehicle. To enhance the stability, the composition can be frozen after filling into the vial and the water removed under vacuum. Parenteral suspensions are prepared in substantially the same manner except that the active compound is suspended in the vehicle instead of being dissolved and sterilised by exposure to ethylene oxide before suspending in the sterile vehicle. Advantageously, a surfactant or wetting agent is included in the composition to facilitate uniform distribution of the active compound.
In addition such compositions may contain further active agents such as anti-hypertensive agents and diuretics.
In addition, the Polymorph may be used in combination with other antidiabetic agents such as insulin secretagogues, for example sulphonylureas, biguanides, such as metformin, alpha glucosidase inhibitors, such as acarbose, beta agonists, and insulin such as those disclosed in WO98/57649, WO98/57634, WO98/57635 or WO98/57636.

A mixture of maleic acid (2.10 g) and 5-[4-[2-(N-methyl-N-(2- pyridyl)amino)ethoxy]benzyl] thiazolidine-2,4-dione (6.0 g) were heated to 70°C in denatured ethanol (60 ml, 5%v/v methanol) until complete dissolution was obtained. The resultant solution was filtered, re-heated to 67.5°C, and then cooled to 20-25°C. The resulting crystalline product was filtered off, washed with denatured ethanol (10 ml) and dried at 50°C in vacuo to give the Polymorph (6.61 g, 83%).
Example 2: Conversion of Polymorph to Compound (I)
Polymorph (10.0 g) was added to denatured ethanol (90 ml) under nitrogen. The resulting mixture was stirred and heated to 68°C, and held at this temperature for 30 min. The solution was hot filtered to a preheated vessel (56°C) and the filter washed with hot denatured ethanol (10ml). The temperature of the filtrate was adjusted to 60°C and then cooled with stirring. At 55°C the solution was seeded with Compound (I) (0.4 g) and cooling, with stirring, continued. The resulting slurry was stirred at ambient temperature for 1 h, and the solid isolated by filtration, washed with denatured ethanol and dried at 50°C in vacuo to give 8.4 g (84%) Compound (I).
Example 3: Conversion of Polymorph to Compound (I)
Polymorph (5.0 g) was added to acetone (170 ml) and the mixture was stirred and heated to reflux temperature. After complete dissolution, the solution was heated at reflux for 30min, then filtered. The filtered solution was concentrated by distillation at atmospheric pressure (120ml of distillate was collected). The remaining solution was stirred and cooled at about l°C/min and at 50°C seeded with Compound (I) (0.2 g). Cooling was continued at l°C/min, and when the slurry reached 20°C stirring was continued for 1 h. The solid was isolated by filtration, washed with acetone and dried in vacuo at 50°C to give 4.2 g (84%) of Compound (I).
CHARACTERISING DATA: The following characterising data were generated for the polymorph:
A Infrared
The infrared absorption spectrum of a mineral oil dispersion of the Polymorph was obtained using a Nicolet 710 FT-IR spectrometer at 2 cm"1 resolution. Data were digitised at 1 cnr1 intervals. The spectrum obtained is shown in Figure I. Peak positions are as follows 1752, 1709, 1642, 1613, 1576, 1546, 1514, 1412, 1359, 1329, 1317, 1291, 1261, 1242, 1220, 1212, 1204, 1182, 1171, 1154, 1126, 1112, 1097, 1075, 1056, 1032, 1016, 966, 937, 918, 906, 861, 842, 821, 809, 792, 762, 743, 715, 665, 656, 650, 621, 602, 560, 541, 524 and 507 cπr1.
B Raman
The Raman spectrum of the Polymoφh was recorded through a glass vial using a Perkin Elmer 2000R spectrometer at 4 cm"1 resolution and is shown in Figure II (X-axis shows Intensity, Y-axis shows Raman shift cm"1, 1800 - 200 cm- 1). Excitation was achieved using a Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm) with a power output of 400 mW. Peak positions are as follows: 1751, 1683, 1614, 1586, 1547, 1468, 1449, 1382, 1344, 1317, 1243, 1211, 1181, 1150, 1076, 1016, 991, 918, 841, 825, 773, 742, 652, 637, 619, 602, 512, 470, 428, 406, 350 and 325 cm"1.
C NMR
The 90.56 MHz 13C CP-MAS NMR spectrum for the Polymoφh is shown in Figure III. Chemical shifts are tabulated in Table 1. Data were recorded at ambient temperature and 10 kHz spinning frequency on a Bruker AMX360 spectrometer, with 1.6 ms cross polarization, and a repetition time of 15 s. Chemical shifts were externally referenced to the carboxylate signal of a glycine test sample at 176.4 ppm relative to tetramethylsilane, and are regarded as accurate to within +/- 0.5 ppm.
