Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the crystalline forms of the compounds (r?) - 2- (4-amidinophenylaminomethyl) -1-methyl-5- [1 - (carboxymethylamino) -l - (pyrrolidinocarbonyl) ethyl] benzimidazole and its Monohydrochloride, process for its preparation and its use as a medicament.
  • an antithrombotic effect which is based, for example, on a thrombin-inhibiting or factor Xa-inhibiting effect.
  • venous thrombosis in various vascular provinces, including deep and superficial leg vein thrombosis, vena cava thrombosis, thrombosis of the renal and hepatic veins including a "veno-occlusive disease", for the prevention and therapy of pulmonary embolism, for the treatment of patients with all forms of coronary artery disease, including the acute form in the sense
  • Benzimidazoles mentioned can be used to treat patients undergoing renal replacement therapy.
  • patients with chronic kidney failure and patients with acute kidney failure should be treated regardless of the cause of the kidney failure.
  • This also includes the prevention and treatment of the closure of the dialysis shunt.
  • examples of these parameters are the stability of action of the starting material under various environmental conditions, the stability during the course of the preparation of the pharmaceutical formulation and the stability in the final compositions of the drug.
  • the active pharmaceutical ingredient used to produce the pharmaceutical compositions should therefore have a high level of stability, which must also be ensured under various environmental conditions. This is imperative in order to prevent pharmaceutical compositions from being used which, in addition to the actual active ingredient, contain, for example, degradation products thereof. In such a case, an active substance content found in pharmaceutical formulations could be lower than specified.
  • the absorption of moisture reduces the drug content due to the weight gain caused by water absorption.
  • Drugs with a tendency to moisture must be protected from moisture during storage, for example by adding suitable desiccants or by storing the medicine in an environment protected from moisture.
  • the absorption of moisture can reduce the drug content during manufacture if the drug is exposed to the environment without any protection from moisture.
  • a drug active ingredient should therefore preferably be only slightly hygroscopic.
  • solubility of the active ingredient Another criterion, which depending on the choice of formulation or the choice of the manufacturing process of the formulation may be of outstanding importance, is the solubility of the active ingredient. If, for example, drug solutions (for example for infusions) are provided, sufficient solubility of the active ingredient in physiologically compatible solvents is indispensable.
