Definitions
- This invention refers to a new crystalline form of zoledronic acid, characterized by its diffractogram of X-rays as well as by its spatial atomic distribution in the crystalline network and its thermal analysis curves.
- this crystalline form which comprises the synthesis of the corresponding acid and the pharmaceutical composition comprised by this crystalline form.
- Zoledronic acid (I) is a bisphosphonic acid, which acts as an inhibitor of bone osteoclastic resorption. This compound, chemically called 1-hydroxy-2-(1-imidazoyl) ethydilene bisphosphonic acid, is sold in the USA under the trade name of Zometa® (zoledronic acid for injectables).
- Zoledronic acid belongs to the family of the bisphosphonates well known for its features useful when treating diseases caused by dysfunctions in the metabolism of calcium and phosphorous [see for example K. R. Williams—J. C'hem. Ed. 81, 1406 (2004)].
- This invention refers to a new polymorphic form of zoledronic: acid which exists in the form of a trihydrate, and to its method of obtaining it.
- the invention is based on the discovery that trihydrate formation is ruled by crystallization temperature, such that trihydrate is obtained when dissolved zoledronic acid is crystallized at a temperature between 5 and 35° C., preferably between 15 and 25° C.
- FIG. I shows the X-rays powder diffractogram of this new crystalline form.
- FIG. II corresponds to the curves obtained through the TGA analysis (Thermogravimetric Analysis) and DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) of this new crystalline form.
- FIG. III corresponds to the infrared spectrum of this new crystalline form.
- FIG. IV corresponds to the spatial disposition of the atoms in the unit cell of this new crystalline form.
- FIGS. V a and V b show representative thermogravimetric analysis curves obtained during thermogravimetric analysis.
- FIG. VI illustrates the concept of activation energy Ea showed in a graph of reaction profile.
- FIGS. VII and VII are TGA kinetics analysis plots, plotting heating rate versus F[p(x)] for different fractions of conversion (a) for the analyzed data files.
- the X-ray diffraction analysis and the thermal analysis were carried out at the Atomic Energy National Commission—Condensed Matter Group.
- the equipment used is a Philips model X'Pert with a PW3710 unit to obtain the diffractograms of the samples.
- a K-Alpha wavelength of 1.54060 ⁇ was used.
- the water losses were determined through the TGA (Thermogravimetric Analysis) with a Shimadzu DTG-50 equipment with a 40 mi/mm dry air flow.
- the melting points result from the curves obtained through DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) in a Shimadzu DSC-60 equipment at 10° C./min with a 30 ml/min nitrogen flow.
- the infrared spectra were carried out in a Shimadzu FTIR-8 100 equipment, using a solid substance in the form of pills with KBr.
- the new crystalline form corresponds to a trihydrate, its study by means of X rays of a single crystal shows that the distribution of its atoms in the crystalline network corresponds to the special group P-1, characterized by the following cell parameters ( ⁇ ): a: 6.874; b: 9.450; c: 10.825; ⁇ (alpha): 65.140; ⁇ (beta): 76.83 0; ⁇ (gamma): 81.390.
- FIG. I shows the X-rays powder diffractogram (XRPD) of this new crystalline form.
- FIG. II corresponds to the curves obtained through the TGA analysis (Thermogravimetric Analysis) and DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) of this new crystalline form.
- FIG. III corresponds to the infrared spectrum of this new crystalline form.
- FIG. IV corresponds to the spatial disposition of the atoms in the unit cell of this new crystalline form.
- the trihydrate crystalline form described in this document by means of the exposure in an environment with 75 to 96% relative humidity at 30-40° C. during 24 hours, does not absorb water and maintains its X-rays powder diffractogram and its thermal profile (TGA and DSC) unchanged.
- This new crystalline form of this invention is characterized for presenting in its X ray powder diffractogram peaks in angles of 2 ⁇ of 9.2; 10.4; 10.8; 14.7; 16.4; 17.1; 18.4; 21.5; 21.8; 22.8; 25.0; 25.4; 27.8° ⁇ 0.2°.
- the XRDP is the best analytical tool, it should not be used alone in the identification and characterization of the solid phases. Some drugs have the same. diffractogram (lines) under different solid phases. For the characterization of solid phases, it is always suggested the use of at least three or four analytical tools, i.e.: IR, TG, DSC together with the XRDP.
- the product is also characterized because its thermal analysis (TGA and DSC) show an endotherm between 68-128° C. associated to a loss of mass of around 16-17%, which corresponds to a trihydrate and a melting endotherm followed by decomposition at around 211-215° C.

- This substance presents the following physicochemical characteristics.
- polymorph according to the FDA in its Guidance for Industry—ANDAs: Pharmaceutical Solid Polymorphism—July 2007: Polymorphic forms in the context of this guidance refer to crystalline and amorphous forms as well as solvate and hydrate forms, which are described below:
- Crystalline forms have different arrangements and/or conformations of the molecules in the crystal lattice
- Amorphous forms consists of disordered arrangements of molecules that do not posses a distinguishable crystal lattice
- Solvates are crystals forms containing either stoichiometric or nonstoichiometric amounts of a solvent. If the incorporated solvent is water, the solvate is commonly known as a hydrate.
- Other drugs may have different solid phases (polymorph) of a trihydrated phase, but to date this is not the case for the zoledronic acid.
- the following phases have been identified and characterized: one solid phase for monohydrate, one solid phase for trihydrate and one or two anhydrous (with this last phase we still have some doubts).
- the different trihydrate solid phases that may exist, as well as the different solid phases of a monohydrate and/or all possible phases of the anhydride form are collectively referred to as a polymorph.
- Phosphorous trichloride (856 ml) is slowly added with stirring to a suspension of 1-imidazol-1-yl acetic acid (200 g) in methanesulfonic acid 98-99% (240 ml)
- the temperature is increased until reaching 55° C., reflux is observed.

- the diffractogram is the one shown in FIG. I.
- the crude wet zoledronic acid (equivalent to 190.3 g dry product), obtained according to Example I, is suspended in water (3050 ml).
- the suspension is heated at reflux, with agitation.
- Water is added up to a total volume of 3750 ml, by which a total dissolution is obtained.
- the heating and the agitation is then interrupted, allowing it to slowly cool down to ambient temperature.
- the ambient temperature is cooled down to 2-5° C., maintained at that temperature during 11 ⁇ 2 hours, filtered and the solid is washed with ice water.
- FIG. 1 A shows its diffractogram of powder X-rays
- FIG. IV A the arrangement of the atoms in the unit cell of the crystalline network for this form.
- Polymorphs as hydrates of an active pharmaceutical ingredient, may differ in key properties such as solubility, dissolution rate, stability, and particle habit. Hydrates represent different chemical entities as defined primarily by the stoichiometry of water to the active and in certain cases by different crystal structures. Depending upon the nature of the hydrate, the water content may or may not change over time with ambient humidity, temperature, or other processing and storage conditions. Accordingly, it is important to know, during the development of pharmaceuticals, if the water molecules are tightly coordinated and packed inside the crystal lattice. Depending on that, several problems could be generated. Many drugs are receiving regulatory approval for only a single crystal form or “polymorph”.
- thermogravimetric analysis is used as an analytical methodology to quantify the thermal stability parameters of solid chemicals.
- the data generated from these measurements is analyzed to obtain Arrhenius kinetic parameters such us activation energy (Ea) and preexponential factor.
- the activation energies of two different hydrates—zoledronic acid monohydrate and trihydrate— is obtained to analyze the dehydration reaction of these two forms to anhydrous form so that the their relative solid-state thermal stability can be ranked based on their activation energy values.
- TGA Thermogravimetric analysis
- TGA Kinetics Analysis method covers determination of the kinetic parameters, Arrhenius activation energy preexponential factor by thermogravimetry, based on the assumption that the decomposition to obeys first-order kinetics.
- This program utilizes data gathered by running a sample at various heating rates.
- the program allows analysis of results from TGA data files to calculate the heating rate at each conversion percentage, and then generate plots and tables of kinetic analysis results.
- the program operates in accordance with the ASTM Standard E1641 (Standard Test Method for Decomposition Kinetics by Thermogravimetry).
- thermogravimetric analysis have been used to obtain kinetic information, with the constant heating rate method developed by Flynn & Wall being preferred because it requires less experimental time.
- the constant heating rate, or conventional TGA, approach is based on the Flynn & Wall method which requires three or more determinations at different linear heating rates, usually between 0.5 and 50° C./minute.
- Zoledronic acid monohydrate BFI 10929 and trihydrate BFI 10781 was obtained from GADOR S. A. API Division, R&D lab. The samples were characterized by loss on drying and X-ray diffraction.
- X-ray Diffraction X-ray powder diffraction was executed using a Philips equipment X′ Pert model with the unit PW3710. Scans were performed over the range of 5°-40° 2 ⁇ , at a 0.02° step size for 2 s per step.
- Thermogravimetry analysis curves were generated using a TGA Q-500 V6.4 TAInstruments®. The analysis was performed with TGA Kinetics Analysis TA Instruments®; program Specialty Library V2. 1 Build 2.1.0.1.
- the heating rate versus F[p(x)] was graphed for different fraction of conversion (a) for the analyzed data files. Data points fit closely to the straight line, so the experimental data fits the mathematical model on which the determination is based.
- activation energy Ea represents the amount of energy necessary to begin a chemical reaction and so convert the reagents to products.
- the activation energy parameter represents the amount of energy necessary for hydrate forms of Zoledronic acid to start the loss of water molecules.
- Zoledronic acid monohydrate had an Activation energy 152.0 kJ/ mole at 50.0 percent of conversion level.
- Zoledronic acid trihydrate had an Activation energy 179.9.0 kJ/mole at 50.0 percent of conversion level.
- TGA thermogravimetric analysis
- the product solution was composed of the following: Ingredient Function Weight/vial Zoledronic acid, Active 4.794 mg trihydrate ingredient (Eq 4 mg zoledronic acid) Sodium Chloride Tonicity agent 43.000 mg Sodium Hydroxide pH adjuster 1.100 mg (or up to pH 6.0-6.5) Water for injection Vehicle Qs To 5 ml
- Zoledronic acid was dissolved with water at room temperature. The rate of dissolution was further increased by the addition of sodium hydroxide which lead to the formation of a sodium salt (disodium salt in greater percentage) of zoledronic acid.
- Sodium chloride was selected as a tonicity agent and sodium hydroxide as a pH-adjusting agent.
- the compatibility of the bulk solution with the filters and tubing material was studied.
- the compatibility of the concentrate for solution for infusion with packaging materials (vials +stoppers) and with infusion media (5% glucose solution and 0.9% sodium chloride solution in plastic and glass devices) was be demonstrated by verifying the compliance with drug product specifications during stability studies.
- As part of the container/closure integrity test a microbiological challenge test with the primary packaging materials (upright and inverted position) was performed.
- step 6 The solution from step 6 was added to the bulk solution in a quantity sufficient to reach a target pH of 6.2 (range: 6.0-6.5), under constant mechanical stirring.
- the solution was sterile-filtered. Chemical quality control and bacterial endotoxins were determined in a sample.
- Sterile bulk solution was aseptically filled into sterilized (plastic) or depyrogenized (glass) vials. Fill volume (or its equivalent weight) was checked.
- the crystalline trihydrate form of the zoledronic acid demonstrated good relative kinetic-thermal stability (providing a direct benefit for the active agent in bulk formulations, achieving a longer storage period in the warehouse, and a lesser chance for the solid active to undergo any changes during storage in the warehouse) and also API characteristics that improved stability and handling during formulation. Many other crystal hydrates, in contrast, tend to lose water and release it into the environment during the formulation process, increasing the possibility of drug degradation. These technical improvements do not affect the drug's bioavailability, since same is administered via injection.
