Description

Manufacture of Bisoprolol and intermediates therefor Introduction This invention relates to the manufacture of Bisoprolol fumarate and intermediates used in the process.
The process described in DOS 2 645 710, describes a process wherein 2- (isopropoxy)ethoXymethyl-phenol is reacted with epichlorhydrin and the B-amino alcohol moiety is formed by the addition of iso-propylamine. This synthetic route suffers from several disadvantages including the handling of epichlorohydrin which is a known carcinogen and can undergo Violent reactions or exothermic polymerisation on contact with amines or alkoxides. In addition, the reaction between the epoxy intermediate and isopropylamine has the potential to undergoes side reactions leading to the formation of the known impurity F (as described in the European Pharmacopeia 6.1).
H2~J\ jafik Bisoprolol Fumarate Imp F W - 85808 DOS3205457 describes a process wherein the 2-(isopropoxy)ethoxymethyl substituent is introduced in two stages. Initially the aromatic ring of 3-isopropyl—5-phenoxyrnethyl-oxazolidin- -one is chloromethylated using HCl and paraformaldehyde followed by a Williamson ether synthesis employing metallic sodium. The resultant oxazolidine ring is cleaved by alkaline hydrolysis.

In addition the chloromethylation of 3-isopropylphenoxymethyl-oxazolidinone with paraformaldehyde in the presence of HCl undergoes side reactions leading to the formation of the known impurities C and G. This process generates material of inferior quality as exemplified by a limit for impurity G of 0.5% (as described in the European Pharmacopeia 6.1).

This process is more efficient than the process described in examples 2 and 3, as the use of triethylamine under non aqeous reaction conditions for the coupling reaction between oxazolidinone sulphonate and benzenesulphonyl chloride is more efficient. This results from a reduction in side reactions under aqueous conditions which lead to the formation of sodium benzenesulphonate as a by-product.

Water (l50L) potassium carbonate and oxazolidinone benzaldehyde (271Kg) are charged to a vessel.

Purity HPLC 399% Stationary phase: octadecylsilyl silica gel for chromatography Mobile phase: a mixture of methanol water buffered with potassium hydrogen phosphate and triethylamine Examnle 6: Purification of Bisoprolol Base Bisoprolol base is formed fiom the oxazolidinone benzyl alcohol by an acid catalysed coupling with isopropyl oxitol, followed by alkaline hydrolysis of the oxazolidinone ring. The resultant bisoprolol base maybe further purified either by distillation or crystallation.
Example 7: Salt Formation The purified bisoprolol base is converted to Pharmacopoeia grade bisoprolol fiimarate by addition of fumaric acid to bisoprolol base in acetone.
Example 8: Bisoprolol Base for use as a drug substance Charge bisoprolol fiimarate (3OKg) in a mixture of water (30lL) and sodium methyI-z‘ert- butylether(105L), add aqueous sodium hydroxide to alkaline pH. Split the lower aqeous layer to waste and wash the product layer with water. Bisoprolol base is isolated following solvent removal by distillation.
Patches are routinely used for the controlled release of drugs via the trans dermal route, the approach is advantageous over oral administration which can result in irregular and unpredictable blood plasma levels. Bisoprolol is normally administered in oral solid dose form as the fiimarate salt, but is not suitable for controlled release from transdermal patch formulations.
It has been found that Bisoprolol base prepared as described in this application is particularly suited to controlled release from transdermal patch formulations.
The invention is not limited to the embodiment hereinbefore described, with reference to the accompanying drawings, which may be varied in and detail.
