- Losartan potassium is a substituted imidazole useful as an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. It is known for treating hypertension and congestive heart failure.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,608,075 discloses novel crystalline forms of losartan potassium and describes two novel polymorphic forms, differing from one another in respect of their physical properties, stability, and spectral data. They are designated Form I and Form II. It is known that different morphs of biologically active compounds may have different absorption profile in vivo and consequently different pharmacokinetic profile. Summary of the Invention

- the solvent may be one or more of lower alkanol, ketone, chlorinated solvent, water 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 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, freeze drying, filtration, filtration under vacuum, decantation and centrifugation.
- the losartan potassium in an amorphous form may be recovered from the solution by spray drying.
- the losartan potassium in an amorphous 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 amorphous form of losartan potassium can also be recovered from the solution by adding a suitable non-solvent resulting in the precipitation of the amorphous form and removing the solvent there from by filtration, decantation or centrifugation.
- the non- solvent may be selected from a group of organic solvents in which losartan potassium is insoluble or poorly soluble or practically insoluble or partially soluble and is known to a person of ordinary skills in the art.
- the process may include further drying of the product obtained from the solution.
- the process may produce the amorphous form of the losartan potassium having the infrared spectrum of Figure 1 and the X-ray diffraction pattern of Figure 2.
- Figure 1 is an infrared spectrum in KBr of amorphous form of losartan potassium.
- Figure 2 is X- ray powder diffraction pattern of amorphous form of losartan potassium.
- Figure 3 is an infrared spectrum showing peaks characteristic of crystalline form I and form II of losartan potassium from 1150 cm “1 to 600 cm "1 obtained per U.S. Patent No. 5,608,075: (A) Form I and (B) Form II .
- Figure 4 is an infrared spectrum showing peaks characteristic of crystalline form I and form II of losartan potassium from 1800 cm “1 to 1150 cm "1 obtained per U.S. Patent No. 5,608,075: (A) Form I and (B) Form II .
- Figure 5 is an X-ray diffraction pattern characteristic of crystalline forms I and II of losartan potassium obtained per U.S. Patent No. 5,608,075: (A) Form I and (B) Form II.
- the inventors have found a new form of losartan, the amorphous form and, in particular, the amorphous losartan potassium.
- the new form is characterized by its infrared spectrum and X-ray powder diffraction pattern as shown in Figures 1 and 2, respectively.
- the inventors also have developed a process for the preparation of the amorphous form of losartan potassium, by recovering the amorphous losartan potassium from a solution thereof in a suitable solvent by spray drying.
- the inventors also have developed pharmaceutical compositions that contain the amorphous form of the losartan potassium, in admixture with one or more solid or liquid pharmaceutical diluents, carriers, and/or excipients.
- the solution of losartan potassium may be obtained by dissolving a crystalline losartan potassium in a suitable solvent.
- a solution may be obtained directly from a reaction in which losartan potassium is formed.
- the solvent may be removed from the solution by a technique which includes, for example, distillation, distillation under vacuum, evaporation, spray drying, freeze drying, filtration, decantation, and centrifugation.
- losartan potassium in amorphous form is recovered from the solution using a spray drying technique.
- a Mini-Spray Dryer (Model: Buchi 190, Switzerland) can be used.
- the Buchi 190 Mini-Spray Dryer operates on the principle of nozzle spraying in a parallel flow, i.e., the sprayed product and the drying gas flow in the same direction.
- the drying gas can be air or inert gases such as nitrogen, argon and carbon dioxide.
- losartan potassium in amorphous form can be recovered from the solution using a freeze drying technique.
- a freeze dryer (Model: Nirtis Genesis SQ Freeze Dryer) can be used in this technique.
- the Nirtis Genesis SQ Freeze Dryer operates on the principle of lyophilization, i.e., a process of stabilizing initially wet materials (aqueous solution or suspensions) by freezing them, then subliming the ice while simultaneously desorbing some of the bound moisture (primary drying). Following removal of the ice, desorption may be continued (secondary drying). This process may be carried out under vacuum.
- suitable solvent includes any solvent or solvent mixture in which losartan potassium, is soluble, including, for example, lower alkanol, ketones, chlorinated solvents, water and mixtures thereof.
- alkanol include those primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols having from one to six carbon atoms.

- crystalline losartan potassium is used as a starting material it may be in the form of any of the various polymorphic forms known in the prior art including solvates, hydrates, anhydrous or any other polymorphic forms of losartan potassium.
- a solution of losartan potassium obtained in situ during the preparation process may be used as such for spray drying.
- the spray drying may be accomplished using a spray dryer which operates on the principle of nozzle spraying in a parallel flow, i.e., the sprayed product and the drying gas flow in the same direction.
- the drying gas can be air or one or more inert gases such as nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide.
- the product obtained may be further or additionally dried to achieve the desired moisture values.
- the product may be further or additionally dried in a tray drier, dried under vacuum and/or in a Fluid Bed Dryer.
- the resulting amorphous form of losartan potassium may be formulated into ordinary dosage forms such as, for example, tablets, capsules, pills, solutions, etc.
- the medicaments can be prepared by conventional methods with conventional pharmaceutical excipients.
- compositions include dosage forms suitable for oral, buccal, rectal, and parenteral (including subcutaneous, intramuscular, and ophthalmic) administration.
- the oral dosage forms may include solid dosage forms, like powder, tablets, capsules, suppositories, sachets, troches and lozenges as well as liquid suspensions, emulsions, pastes and elixirs.
- Parenteral dosage forms may include intravenous infusions, sterile solutions for intramuscular, subcutaneous or intravenous administration, dry powders to be reconstituted with sterile water for parenteral administration, and the like.
