    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • We have found that bilastine can exist in three clearly different polymorphic forms called crystalline form 1, crystalline form 2 and crystalline form 3.
  • The procedure described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,877,187 generates a mixture of crystalline forms 2 and 3. We have discovered experimental conditions and specific solvents to produce clearly different polymorphic forms of bilastin. The crystalline form 1 of pure bilastine is prepared according to the procedures of this invention. The crystalline forms 1 and 2 are stable.
  • Crystalline form 3 is not very stable and is difficult to obtain in the pure form. Both crystalline form 2 and crystalline form 3 are converted into crystalline form 1 by the procedures of this invention.
  • Crystalline form 1 of bilastine has a melting point of 200.3° C. Crystalline form 2 has a melting point of 205.2° C. Crystalline form 3 has a melting point of 197.0° C.
  • The crystalline form 1 of bilastine is also characterised by its infrared absorption spectrum in potassium bromide that has the following characteristic absorption bands, expressed in reciprocal centimetres:
  • 3430 (s)*; 3057 (w)*; 2970 (s); 2929 (s); 2883 (m)*; 2857 (m); 2797 (w); 1667 (m); 1614 (m); 1567 (w); 1509 (s); 1481 (m); 1459 (vs)*; 1431 (m);1378 (w); 1346 (m); 1326 (m); 1288 (w); 1254 (m); 1199 (w); 1157 (w); 1121 (vs); 1045 (w); 1020 (w); 1010 (w); 991 (w); 973 (w); 945 (w); 829 (w); 742 (s); 723 (w); 630 (w), * where (w)=weak intensity, (m)=medium intensity, (s)=strong intensity, (vs)=very strong intensity. FIG. 1 represents the infrared spectrum of the crystalline form 1 of the bilastine in a potassium bromide tablet recorded in a Perkin Elmer Spectrum One FTIR spectrophotometer. The crystalline form 2 of bilastine is also characterised by its infrared absorption spectrum in potassium bromide that has the following characteristic absorption bands, expressed in reciprocal centimetres:
  • 3429 (s)*; 3053 (w)*; 2970 (s)*; 2932 (s); 2868 (s); 2804 (w); 1699 (m); 1614 (m)*; 1567 (m); 1508 (s); 1461 (vs)*; 1381 (m); 1351 (s); 1331 (m); 1255 (m); 1201 (w); 1156 (m); 1121 (vs); 1048 (w); 995 (w); 823 (w); 767 (w); 744 (s); 724 (w); 630 (w), * where (w) =weak intensity, (m)=medium intensity, (s)=strong intensity, (vs)=very strong intensity. FIG. 2 represents the infrared spectrum of the crystalline form 2 of the bilastine in a potassium bromide tablet recorded in a Perkin Elmer Spectrum One FTIR spectrophotometer.
  • The crystalline form 3 of bilastine is also characterised by its infrared absorption spectrum in potassium bromide that has the following characteristic absorption bands, expressed in reciprocal centimetres:
  • 3430 (s)*; 3053 (w)*; 2970 (s); 2932 (s); 2868 (s); 2804 (w); 1921 (w); 1708 (m)*; 1614 (m); 1568 (m); 1508 (s); 1461 (vs)*; 1380 (m); 1351 (m); 1330 (m); 1271 (m); 1255 (m); 1201 (w); 1156 (m); 1121 (vs); 1048 (w); 995 (w); 823 (m); 767 (w); 744 (s); 724 (w); 630 (w), * where (w) =weak intensity, (m)=medium intensity, (s)=strong intensity, (vs)=very strong intensity. FIG. 3 represents the infrared spectrum of the crystalline 3 of the bilastine in a potassium bromide tablet recorded in Perkin Elmer Spectrum One FTIR spectrophotometer.
  • We have discovered that, under selected experimental conditions, the mixture of the crystalline forms 2 and 3, obtained according to U.S. Pat. No. 5,877,187, is surprisingly transformed into crystalline form 1. We have also discovered that crystalline form 1 of bilastine is very stable and is not transformed into any of the other polymorphs 2 and 3. Similarly, in the same experimental conditions, the pure crystalline form 2 of bilastine is surprisingly transformed into the pure crystalline form 1. Crystalline form 3, which is the most unstable, undergoes the same transformation under the same conditions.
  • Crystalline form 1 of bilastine is a very stable polymorph at room temperature and is, therefore, very useful as an active ingredient of a pharmaceutical preparation. Crystalline form 1 is also stable when stored at temperatures above room temperature.
  • The crystalline form 1 of bilastine is characterised by the following data of its X-ray crystallographic analysis as a monocrystal, with crystal parameters of approximately the following values:
  •
    Crystallograph system Monoclinic
    Spatial group P2 (1)/c
    Crystal size 0.56 × 0.45 × 0.24 mm
    Cell dimension a = 23.38 (5) A angstrom α = 90°
    b = 8.829 (17) A β = 90°
    c = 12.59 (2) A γ = 90°
    Volume 2600 A3
    Z, calculated density 4, 1.184 mg/m3
  • During the development of crystalline form 1 of bilastine for pharmaceutical preparations, elaborated according to correct manufacturing procedures, we have discovered that crystallization of bilastine (prepared according to the description given in U.S. Pat. No. 5,877,187) from isopropylic alcohol and n-butanol, leads to generation of the polymorphic form 1 of bilastine with a high yield. Crystallisation from acetone, dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylformamide, acetonitrile and tetrahydrofurane or its mixtures thereof also lead to generation of crystalline form 1, although with lower yields. It is, therefore, preferable to use the former solvents.
  • The infrared spectrum of crystalline form 1 of bilastine in potassium bromide is characterised by the following bands, absent from polymorphs 2 and 3:
  • Wavenumber (cm−1)
    • 3057
    • 2929
    • 2883
    • 2857
    • 2797
    • 1667
    • 1481
    • 1431
    • 1346
    • 1326
    • 1288
    • 973
    • 945
    • 829
  • FIG. 1 shows the complete infrared spectrum of crystalline form 1 of bilastine in potassium bromide, recorded with Perkin Elmer Spectrum One spectrophotometer.
  • Pharmaceutical Preparations
  • Pharmaceutical preparations of this invention can contain, as well as an effective quantity of crystalline form 1 of bilastine as an active ingredient as an antiallergic or antihistaminic agent, several pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. The solid pharmaceutical preparations include powders, tablets, dispersible granules, capsules, cachets and suppositories. A solid excipient can be one of several substances that act as diluents, aromatising agents, agglutinants or disintegrating agents and an encapsulation material. The powders and tablets preferentially contain from approximately 5 to approximately 20 per cent of the active ingredient. Appropriate solid excipients are magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar, lactose, pectin, dextrin, starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, waxes with low melting point, cocoa butter and similar products. The term “preparations” includes the formulation of the active ingredient with an excipient for encapsulation to produce a capsule in which the active ingredient (with or without other excipients) is surrounded with the excipient by an encapsulation material. Tablets, powders, cachets and capsules can be used as suitable forms for oral administration. The active ingredient can also be incorporated into a chewing gum that can contain sweeteners, flavorings and colorings as appropriate.
  • To prepare suppositories, a compound with a low melting point, such as a mixture of fatty acid glycerides or cocoa butter, is melted and the active ingredient is mixed well and homogeneously dispersed in the mixture with agitation. The homogeneous melted mixture is placed in the appropriate moulds and left to cool until it solidifies.
  • Liquid preparations comprise suspensions that can be made by mixing the finely divided active ingredient in water with suspension agents.
  • Also, topical preparations are considered for nasal, ophthalmic and dermal use. Appropriate formulae for nasal administration can correspond to solutions or suspensions. Ophthalmic formulae can be suspensions and ointments. Dermal preparations can be suspensions, ointments and creams. Ointments usually contain lipophylic excipients such as mineral oil or vaseline.
  • Similarly, a compound is being contemplated for transdermic use, consisting of a therapeutically effective amount of active ingredient incorporated into an excipient that corresponds to a liquid, a gel, a solid matrix or an adhesive patch sensitive to pressure, to be released via a transdermic administration system.
  • The effective antiallergic or antihistaminic amount of crystalline form 1 of bilastine for topical administration varies between 0.1 and 5% of the total weight of the pharmaceutical compound. The preferred amount ranges from 0.1 to 2% of the total weight of the pharmaceutical compound.
  • The effective antiallergic or antihistaminic amount of crystalline form 1 of bilastine for oral administration varies from 1 to 50 mg/day, with preferably an amount corresponding to approximately 2 to 20 mg/day in a single or fractionated doses.
  • Crystalline form 1 of bilastine has antihistaminic properties that have been demonstrated in experimental pharmacological models, such as preventing histamine-induced lethality in the guinea-pig and antagonism against cutaneous capillary permeability induced by histamine in the rat.
  • The following examples illustrate but do not limit the scope of the present invention.
