Definitions
- the field of the invention relates to an amorphous form of the salts of the (-) enantiomer or (S)-enantiomer of omeprazole, i.e., esomeprazole.
- the invention also relates to processes for preparing amorphous esomeprazole salts and pharmaceutical compositions that include the amorphous esomeprazole salts.
- omeprazole is 5-methoxy-2-[[(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-2-pyridinyl)- methyl]sulf ⁇ nyl]-lH-benzimidazole.
- Omeprazole and therapeutically acceptable salts thereof are described in U.S. Patent No. 4,255,431.
- Certain specific alkaline salts of omeprazole are disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,738,974.
- Omeprazole is transformed into an effective inhibitor of gastric acid secretion in mammals, and is therefore useful as an anti-ulcer agent.
- Omeprazole may be used to prevent and/or treat gastric acid related disorders and gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases in mammals. In man, for example, omeprazole may be used to prevent and/or treat gastritis, gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer.
- Omeprazole is a racemic mixture of its two single enantiomers, the (R)- and (S)- enantiomer of omeprazole. These enantiomers are commonly referred to as (R)- omeprazole and (S)-omeprazole, respectively.
- the enantiomer, (S)-omeprazole is commonly referred to as esomeprazole.
- WO 94/27988 discloses certain salts of the single enantiomers of omeprazole and their preparation. These compounds are described as having improved pharmacokinetic properties which give an improved therapeutic profile, such as a lower degree of variation between individuals taking the compound.
- WO 96/02535 discloses a process for preparing the single enantiomers of omeprazole and salts thereof.
- WO 98/54171 discloses a process for the preparation of the trihydrate of the magnesium salt of (ES)-omeprazole.
- Esomeprazole like many other similar benzimidazole compounds, is not stable in its free form and is susceptible to degradation in acid and neutral media. It has been found that alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts of esomeprazole are more stable during storage than the corresponding neutral form.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,714,505 describes alkaline salts of the (-) enantiomer of 5- methoxy-2- [ [(4-methoxy-3 ,5 -dimethyl-2-pyridiniyl)methyl] sulfinyl] - 1 H-benzimidazoles (i.e., esomeprazole) including the magnesium salt, which are used for inhibiting gastric acid secretion.
- Esomeprazole magnesium is prepared according to Examples 5, 6, and 7 of the '505 patent in optically pure crystalline form by precipitation/crystallization.
- U.S. Patent No. 6,124,464 discloses another process for preparing crystalline esomeprazole magnesium.
- U.S. Patent No. 6,369,085 discloses three different types of crystalline esomeprazole magnesium viz. dihydrate form A, dihydrate form B and the trihydrate form.
- the inventors are not aware of any disclosure of an amorphous form of esomeprazole salts, including amorphous esomeprazole magnesium, in the prior art. It is known that different morphs of biologically active compounds may have different absorption profile in vivo and consequently different pharmacokinetic profile.
- an amorphous form of a salt of esomeprazole in one general aspect there is provided an amorphous form of a salt of esomeprazole.
- Embodiments of the amorphous form of the salt of esomeprazole may include one or more of the following features.
- the cation may be selected from the group that includes Na, Mg, Li, K, Ca, and N(R) 4 , where R is hydrogen or an alkyl with 1-4 carbon atoms.
- the amorphous form of the salt of esomeprazole may have the X-ray diffraction pattern of Fig. 1 and the IR spectra of Fig. 2.
- composition that includes a therapeutically effective amount of an amorphous form of a salt of esomeprazole; and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients or diluents.
- Embodiments of the pharmaceutical composition may include one or more of the following features.
- the cation may be selected from the group that includes Na, Mg, Li, K, Ca, and N(R) , where R is hydrogen or an alkyl with 1-4 carbon atoms.
- the amorphous form of the salt of esomeprazole may have the X-ray diffraction pattern of Fig. 1 and the IR spectra of Fig. 2.
- a process for the preparation of a salt of the amorphous form of esomeprazole includes preparing a solution of a salt of esomeprazole in one or more solvents; and recovering the salt of esomeprazole in the amorphous form from the solution thereof by the removal of the solvent.
- Embodiments of the process may include one or more of the following features.
- the cation may be selected from the group that includes Na, Mg, Li, K, Ca, and N(R) 4 , where R is hydrogen or an alkyl with 1-4 carbon atoms.
- the solvent may be one or more of lower alkanol, ketone, ester, chlorinated solvent, acetonitrile or mixtures thereof.
- the lower alkanol may include one or more of primary, secondary and tertiary alcohol having from one to six carbon atoms.
- the lower alkanol may include one or more of methanol, ethanol, denatured spirit, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, isobutanol, and t-butanol.
- the lower alkanol may include one or more of methanol, ethanol, and denatured spirit.
- the ketone may include one or more of acetone, 2-butanone, and 4-methylpentan- 2-one.
- the ester may include one or more of ethyl acetate and n-butyl acetate.
- the chlorinated solvent may include one or more of chloroform and dichloromethane. Removing the solvent may include one or more of distillation, distillation under vacuum, evaporation, spray drying, and freeze drying.
- the salt of esomeprazole in an amorphous form may be recovered from the solution by spray drying.
- the salt of esomeprazole in an amo ⁇ hous form may be recovered from the solution by freeze-drying.
- the process may include further forming of the product so obtained into a finished dosage form.
- the process may include further drying of the product obtained from the solution.
- the process may further include adding one or both of an organic amine and ammonia to the solution.
- the organic amine and/or ammonia may be added to the solution prior to removal of the solvent.
- the process may produce the amo ⁇ hous form of the salt of esomeprazole having the X-ray diffraction pattern of Fig. 1 and the IR spectra of Fig. 2.
- Figure 1 is an x-ray powder diffraction pattern of amo ⁇ hous esomeprazole.
- Figure 2 is an infra-red spectra in KBr of amo ⁇ hous esomeprazole magnesium prepared as described herein. Detailed Description of the Invention
- the mentors have found a new form of esomeprazole salts, the amo ⁇ hous form and, in particular, the amo ⁇ hous esomeprazole magnesium salt.
- the new form is characterized by its X-ray powder diffraction pattern and IR spectra as shown in Figures 1 and 2, respectively.
