Definitions

• the present invention relates to a method of preparation of the potassium salt of (5 -methyl oxo-l,3-dioxol-4-yl)methyl ester of l-[[2'-(2,5-dihydro-5-oxo-l,2 5 4-oxadiazol-3-yl)[l,l'- biphenyl]-4-yl]methyl]-2-ethoxy-lH-benzimidazole-7-carboxylic acid of formula (T)
• azilsartan medoxomil (I), the synthesis of which is described in EP 1 718 641, EP 2 119 715, is used in the treatment of hypertension.
• Azilsartan medoxomil is a "prodrug" that is easily enzymatically transformed to azilsartan, which is a highly selective antagonist of angiotensin II ATI receptors.
• azilsartan medoxomil is prepared by a reaction of the free azilsartan acid with medoxomil alcohol, which provides azilsartan medoxomil as a solvate with dimethyl acetamide. This is then transformed, by crystallization of the product from an acetone/water mixture, to desolvated azilsartan medoxomil, which is subsequently converted to the potassium salt (I). Disclosure of Invention
• This invention provides a method of preparing the potassium salt of azilsartan medoxomil of formula
• a solvent which is dimethyl acetamide or N-methyl pyrrolidone or their mixtures with other solvents, is prepared, the resulting solvate is optionally re-crystallized, and, in the next step, converted, without desolvating, into the potassium salt using a potassium source.
• the potassium source is, e.g., the potassium salt of 2-ethylhexanoic acid, and the solvent used for the conversion to the potassium salt is, e.g., acetone.
• Azilsartan medoxomil (II) obtained in accordance with the patent EP 2 119 715 exhibits a maximum purity of 98.0% as determined by HPLC. Its desolvation according to the patent from an acetone/water mixture does not virtually achieve any further purification of the substance, nor does re-crystallization from an acetone/water mixture. Then, such raw material is not suitable for pharmaceutical production.
