Description

New pseudopolymorph of desloratadine formed with carbon dioxide
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new pseudopolymorph of desloratadine. More specifically, the present invention relates to a new pseudopolymorphic form of desloratadine formed with carbon dioxide of the Formula
Figure imgf000002_0001
TECHNICAL BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
8-chloro-6,l 1-dihydro-l l-(4-piperilydene)-5H- benzo[5,6]cyclohepta[1.2-b]pyridine (INN name: desloratadine) of the formula
Figure imgf000003_0001
IV. is a known antihistamine drag, which is an active metabolite of the compound 8-chloro-6,ll-dihydro-ll-(l-ethoxy-carbonyl-4- piperilydene)-5H-benzo[5,6]cyclohepta[l .2-b]pyridine (INN name: loratadine) of the formula

V.
In case of oral use of desloratadine the anti-allergic effect is 3 or 4 times higher than the effect of loratadine and the duration of the effect is almost 24 hours which is advantageous in case of once a daily use [Arzneim. Forch. Drag. Res. 40(1), Nr. 4: 345 (2000)]. Two processes are known for preparation of desloratadine of formula IV according to Hungarian patent description No. 194864.
According to one of these processes the ethoxycarbonyl group of the loratidine of the formula V is eliminated by boiling in a mixture of ethanol, water and sodium hydroxide for 24 hours. The product is obtained as an acetic acid salt after extraction with chloroform. Desloratadine acetate is converted into the free base by reacting with a base, whereupon the crude product is recrystallized from a mixture of benzene and hexane.
According to the other process δ-chloro-6,11-dihydro-l 1-(1- methyl-4-piperilydene)-5H-benzo[5,6]cyclohepta[l,2- bjpyridine is demethylated by reacting with bromo cyane, whereupon the produced 1-cyano compound is hydrolysed by refiuxing for 20 hours in a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid and acetic acid. After removing the solvents desloratadine base is prepared from the residue by reacting with base. The crude product is purified by recrystallisation from hexane until its melting point rises to 149-1510C.
Salts of desloratadine formed with hidrochloric acid, methanesulfonic acid, sulphuric acid, acetic acid, maleic acid,
Figure imgf000005_0001
fumaric acid and phosphoric acide are mentioned in the Hungarian patent specification No. 198964.
Hungarian published patent application No. POO/04701 relates to salts of desloratadine with one ore two mole of acids and the preparation thereof. According to the published patent application desloratadine of the formula IV is prepared by elimination of the ethoxycarbonyl group in the position 1 of the loratadine of the formula V by boiling in concentrated mineral acids, preferably in 60-80% of sulphuric acid at 12O0C for 6-8 hours. Salts of desloratadine with two moles of the acid according to the general formula
Figure imgf000005_0002
can be isolated directly from the reaction mixture. Salts of desloratadine formed with one mole acid according to the general formula
Figure imgf000006_0001
are prepared by reacting desloratadine base of the formula IV with the corresponding acid in a media containing dichloromethane.
Two polymorphs of desloratadine hemifumarate are described in international PCT patent application No. 2004/012738. The difference between the melting points of these polymorphs are some degrees of Celsius.
The processes for the preparation of desloratadine of the formula IV described above have several disadvantages.
According to the process described in the Hungarian patent No. 194 864 hydrolysis of the ethoxycarbonyl group of loratadine is carried out by boiling in an aqueous base for a very long time. Remarkable degradation and formation of colourful side products takes place during the 24 hours reaction time. The colour of the crude product is unacceptable for pharmaceutical use. The crude product has to be recrystallised few times to obtain an acceptable product. The recrystallisation is carried out from a mixture of benzene and hexane according to Hungarian patent No. 194 864. The use of carcinogenic benzene and the big loss of recrystallisation are very disadvantegoues on industrial scale.
According to the other process described in the Hungarian patent description No. 194 864 the elimination of the methyl group of the compound of 8-chloro-6,l l-dihydro-l l-(l- methyl-4-piperilydene)-5H-benzo[5,6]cyclohepta[l,2- b]pyridine is carried out by reacting with bromo cyane, the 1- cyano compound obtained is hydrolysed and decarboxylated in one step by refluxing for 20 hours in a mixture of concentrated hidrochloric acid and acetic acid. Bromo cyane is an extremely toxic compound which is undesirable on industrial scale and its use requires special safety measures.
Desloratadine salts in a ratio of 1 :2 of desloratadine to acid prepared according to the Hungarian patent application No. P 00/04701 are unstable. According to our experience the stochiometry of these salts is changed during their storage because of the partly eliminated acidic compounds.
The disadvantage of the preparation of these compounds is that the amine compounds are produced under the extreme reaction conditions used to form salts with an excess of the corresponding acid and the obtained salts crystallise together with the desired product.
The preparation of desloratadine salts in a molar ratio of 1 : 1 is more preferable than that of salts in a molar ratio of 1 :2. The essential condition for the preparation of these salts is the use of sufficently pure desloratadine base of the formula IV, which can be obtained only by appropriate purification methods after the desethoxycarbonylation reaction.
The object of present invention is the preparation of a new desloratadine pseudopolymorph suitable for use in the preparation of high purity desloratidine base or high purity desloratine salts.
The shown object described above is solved with the present invention.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a pseudopolymorph of desloratadine formed with carbon dioxide of the formula I, characterized by its X-ray diffractogram according to diagram

Figure imgf000010_0001
According to a further aspect of the present invention there is provided a process for the preparation of the above mentioned pseudopolymoph of desloratadine formed with carbon dioxide of the formula I which comprises a.) reacting a solution of desloratadine of the formula IV in an organic solvent with carbon dioxide or, b) decarboxyethylating loratidine of the formula V in a solution of 2-methoxyethanol or 2-ethoxyethanol with an alkali metal hydroxide, whereupon reacting the obtained desloratadine of the formula IV with carbon dioxide in an organic solvent.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is based on the recognition, that during the reaction of desloratadine of the formula IV with carbon dioxide in an organic solvent an adduct of 2 moles of desloratadine and 1 mole of carbon dioxide of the formula I is precipitated. This is a new pseudopolymorphic form of desloratadine. The new pseudopolymorphic form formed with carbon dioxide is very pure according to HPLC examinations. Carbon dioxide forms adduct only with desloratadine, meanwhile the amine type contaminations remain in the
Figure imgf000011_0001
mother liquor and can be easily separated from the desired adduct by filtration or centrifugation.
The formation of the compound of the formula I is so much the more surprising, as only few adducts are known from prior art and even in such cases the amines used have a much smaller molecular weight.
The X-ray diffractograms of polymorphs Pl and P2 are shown in the diagrams 2. and 3.
The X-ray diffractogram shown in the diagram 1 of the psedopolymorph formed with carbon dioxide is absolutely different from the X-ray difractograms of the Pl and P2 polymorphs (diagram 2. and 3.) of desloratadine.
The X-ray powder diffractograms were made using a BRUKER D8 ADVANCED X-ray powderdiffractometer under the following circumstances:
Equipment : BRUKER D8 ADVANCED
Radiation: CuKa1 (λ=l.54060 ), CuKa2 (λ= 1.54439 )
Voltage: 40 kV Zero-signal current: 30 mA Accessories: Gδdel mirror Soller slot
Used standard reference: SRM 640c Silicon Powder LOT.NO. H-375. Continuous measurement Θ/Θ scan: 5-35.00° 2Θ Step scale: 0.04°
Sample: flat surface, unpulverised , stored and measured at room temperature.
The infrared spectra of the known Pl and P2 polymorphs are made in solid phase and shown in the diagrams 5 and 6. The infrared spectrum of the pseudopolymorphs of desloratadine formed with carbon dioxide according to the diagaram 4 has significant differences as compared with infrared spectra of polymorphs Pl and P2. According to thermo-gravirnetric measurements (DTG, DSC) the pseudopolymorph does not deliver carbon dioxide upto a temperature of 12O0C and according to X-ray crystallographical experiments its crystal structure remains unchanged. Decomposition begins near its melting point, at 14O0C, where the compound of the formula I delivers calculated amount of carbon dioxide.
According to process a) for the preparation of the pseudopolymorph of desloratadine formed with carbon dioxide the desloratadine of the formula IY is reacted with carbon dioxide in an organic solvent.
Figure imgf000013_0001
The reaction is carried out in a solution formed with an ester, ether, or in a mixture of an ester and a lower aliphatic alcohol or in a mixture of an ether and a lower aliphatic alcohol. The reaction is carried out in ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofurane, diethyl ether, preferably a mixture of ethyl acetate and methanol, a mixture of ethyl acetate and ethanol, a mixture of tetrahydrofurane and methanol, a mixture of diethyether and ethanol, or a mixture of diethyether and methanol. More preferably it is carried out in a media containing ethyl acetate. The process can be carried out by introducing gaseous carbon dioxide or by addition of dry ice to a solution of desloratadine formed with an organic solvent.
The reaction of desloratadine of the formula IV and carbon dioxide is accomplished between room temperature and 400C, preferably at room temperature.
The pseudopolymorph of the formula I can be isolated by filtration or centrifugation. The product is very pure, additional purification is unnecessary.
According to the process b) for the preparation of the pseudopolymorph of the formula I loratadine of the formula V is decarboxyethylated with alkali metal hydroxide in a solution of 2-methoxyethanol or 2-ethoxyethanol, the desloratadine of the formula IV obtained is dissolved in an organic solvent and reacted with carbon dioxide. As alkali metal hydroxide sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide can be used. The reaction can be carried out under heating, preferably at the boiling point of the solvent. On completion of the reaction 2-methoxyethanol or 2- ethoxyethanol is evaporated, the residue is dissolved in an organic solvent.
The solvents enumerated according to the process a), preferably ethyl acetate can be used as organic solvents. The solution is reacted similarly to the process a) with carbon dioxide.
According to a preferable embodiment of process b) after elimination of the ester group the 2-methoxyethanol or 2- ethoxyethanol solvent is evaporated, the residue is dissolved in ethyl acetate, carbon dioxide is introduced or dry ice is added to the obtained solution and the pseudopolymorph of the formula I is separated by filtration or centrifugation.
According to a further aspect of present invention there is provided a process for the preparation of high purity "desloratadine of the formula IV by decarbbxyethylatϊon of loratadine of the formula V with alkali metal hydroxide characterized in that the reaction is carried out in 2- methoxyethanol or 2-ethoxyethanol.

Vl. wherein X stands for an anion and n is 1 or 2, which comprises reacting the solution of a pseudopolymorph salt of desloratadine formed with carbon dioxide of the formula I in an organic solvent with a solution of the corresponding acid formed with an organic solvent.
Thus, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, methanesulfonic acid, benezenesulfonic acid, maleic acid or fumaric acid can be used as acid.
According to an embodiment of the process described above for the preparation of compounds of the general formula VI, wherein n — 1 , the acid is used in an approximately equimolecular amount, based on the pseudopolymorph of the formula I.
According to an other embodiment of the process described above for the preparation of compounds of the general formula VI, wherein n = 2, the acid is used in at least a molar ratio of 2:1, preferably between 2 : 1 -3 : 1 , based on pseudopolymorph of the formula I.
Esters, e.g. ethyl acetate or alcohols e.g. methanol or ethanol can be used as solvent.
Figure imgf000017_0001
The reaction of the compound of the formula I with the acid is carried out between room temperature and 40 0C, preferably at room temperature.
According to the process described above salts of the formula VI are obtained in high purity.
A significant advantage of the present invention is that desloratadine of the formula IV or desloratadine salts of the formula VI can be prepared in high purity. This is due to the general fact that the pseudopolymorph of desloratadine formed with carbon dioxide of the formula I can be prepared in a high purity which is suitable for pharmaceutical use without further purification.
The preparation of the adduct of the formula I is a more effective purification than a recrystallisation step. This is so because during the elimination of carbethoxy group in course of the preparation of desloratadine from loratadine small amounts of basic by-products are produced which do not form adducts with carbon dioxide and, therefore remain in the mother-lye after filtration of the adduct of the formula I.
Thus, desloratadine easily can be removed from the amine type impurities. According to a further aspect of our invention there are provided pharmaceutical compositions comprising as active ingredient a pseudopolymorph of desloratadine of the Formula I in admixture with inert pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and/or auxiliary agents.
The pharmaceutical compositions according to the present invention can be prepared in conventional forms in therapy.

The oral compositions can be e.g. tablets, capsules, coated tablets, solutions, syrups, suspensions or emulsions. The parenteral compositions can be preferably intravenous or intramuscular administered injections.
The pharmaceutical compositions can contain usual pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and/or auxiliary agents. As pharmaceutically acceptable carrier for example magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar, lactose, pectin, dextose, starch, gelatine, tragakant, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, wax with low melting point, cocoa butter etc. can be used. In case of the capsules carrier is often serves as capsule material, whereby additional carrier is not necessary.
Further oral dosage forms are sachets and losenge. The tablets, powders, capsules, pellets, sachets and losenges are specially useful as solid dosage forms.
Waxes with low melting point (for example a mixture of fatty acid glycerides or cocoa butter) can be used as carriers for suppositories. The wax is melted, the active ingredient is admixed with the melt and homogenized. The melted, homogenized mixture is then poured into mould and allowed to cool and solidify.
