POLYMORPHS OF FEXOFENADINE HYDROCHLORIDE AND PROCESS FOR THEIR PREPARATION. FIELD OF INVENTION:
Particularly, the present invention provides two new polymorphs of Fexofenadine hhydrochloride hereby designated by us as form IXX and form XX and process of preparation of these two forms. More particularly, the present invention provides a process for converting Fexofenadine base to its novel polymorphs as hydrochloride.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
Chemically fexofenadine hydrochloride is 4-[4-[4-(hydroxydiphenylmethyl)-l- piperidinyl]-l-hydroxybutyl]-α, α - dimethybenzene acetic acid hydrochloride. It is also known as terfenadine carboxylic acid metabolite.
Fexofenadine is non-sedating anti-histamine. It is reported to be a specific H2 - receptor antagonist devoid of any anticholingeric, antiserotoninergic and anti-adrenergic effects.
It lacks the cardiac side effects seen with terfenadine.
The relevant patents known to the inventor are enumerated below.
US 5,738,872; US 5,932,247 and US 5,855,912 disclose four crystalline forms of
Fexofenadine designated as I to IV. According to these patents Forms II and IV are hydrated and Forms I and III are anhydrous. Form I is reported to have a capillary melting point range of 196-201. degree. C, a DSC endotherm with onset between 195-

3.72, 3.63, 3.07, 3.04, 2.45 .ANG.. Form II is reported to have a capillary melting point range of 100-105.degree. C, a DSC endotherm with onset between 124-126.degree. C. and a PXRD pattern with d-spacings of 7.8, 6.4, 5.2, 4.9, 4.7, 4.4, 4.2, 4.1, 3.7, 3.6, 3.5
.ANG.. Form III is reported to have a capillary melting point range of 166-171.degree. C, a DSC endotherm with onset at 166.degree. C. and a PXRD pattern with d-spacings of 8.95, 4.99, 4.88, 4.75, 4.57, 4.47, 4.46, 3.67, 3.65 .ANG.. In Example 2, Form IV is reported to undergo decomposition at 115-116.degree. C. In the general written description, a DSC endotherm with onset at 146.degree. C. is reported. Form IV is reported as having a PXRD pattern with d-spacings of 10.38, 6.97, 6.41, 5.55, 5.32, 5.23, 5.11, 4.98, 4.64, 4.32, 4.28, 4.12, 4.02, 3.83, 3.65, 3.51, 3.46 and 2.83 .ANG.. The '872 patent discusses methods of interconverting Forms I-IV. Aqueous recrystallization of Form I can be used to produce Form II. Water-minimizing recrystallization or azeotropic distillation of either Form II or Form IV can yield Form I. Form III is reported to be accessible by water minimizing recrystallization of Form II. Crystal digestion of Form III can be used to obtain Form I. Forms II and IV can be obtained directly by sodium borohydride reduction of 4-[4-[4- (hydroxydiphenylmethyl)-l-piperidinyl]-l-oxobutyl]-.alpha.,.alpha- dimethylbenzeneacetate as described in Examples 1 and 2.
WO 95/31437 has disclosed four polymorphic forms, two as anhydrous and two as hydrates. The patent also describes a process for preparing these forms. These forms can be inter-converted to one another, but to get anhydrous forms Fexofenadine base has to be converted first to hydrated Fexofenadine hydrochloride which is further dehydrated by various processes to give anhydrous Fexofenadine hydrochloride resulting in more number of steps making the process low yielding, complex and uneconomical, generating the acidic effluents. In general, the process advocates ( subjecting hydrated form to an azeotropic distillation or to water minimizing crystallization.
WO 02/ 080857 discloses a number of polymorphic forms (V-XV) of Fexofenadine hydrochloride prepared in various ways. But in all processes Fexofenadine hydrochloride is prepared first by wet crystallization using hydrochloric acid, generating aqueous effluent, which is further recrystallised in various solvents such as saturated hydrocarbons with C5 to C12 to give desired polymorphic forms.

Fexofenadine was disclosed first time in US Patent Nos. US 4,254,129 (' 129) and US
4,254,130 (' 13O) as one of the substituted piperidine derivative. In accordance with
' 129 and ' 130, Fexofenadine is prepared by alkylation of a substitutd piperidine derivative such as diphenyl-4-piperidinemethanol with us- halo alkyl substituted phenyl ketone.
WO 03/039482 A2 provides novel crystalline forms of fexofenadine base and a process for their preparation as well as a composition containing the said forms.
US 4,285,957 and 4,285,958 relates to 1-piperidine-alkylene ketones. The compounds of these patents are prepared adopting the processes disclosed in ' 129 and ' 130. The free base Fexofenadine is converted to its acid addition salts by treating the base, in a conventional manner, with a respective pharmaceutically acceptable organic or inorganic acid. However, the purity of staring material is critical for the production of acid addition salts.
US 5,578,610 teach using purified starting material in order to get desired isomer of
Fexofenadine. Various alternatives are suggested towards this to give Fexofenadine hydrochloride.
The processes disclosed above suffer from one or the other problems. To quote a few, the final product contains meta isomer, the yield is low, the processes are uneconomical and hazardous to environment.

Solution was stirred at 10-300C, degassed under vacuum for lhr at 25-3O0C, made the volume with tetrahydrofuran and charcoalized. Methyl isobutyl ketone (900 ml) was slowly added to the filtrate and was stirred to get crystallization at 0-50C. Product was filtered and washed with methyl isobutyl ketone (100ml) at 0-50C. Upon drying 92 gm of the titled compound was obtained.
Example 2: Preparation of polymorphic form XX of Fexofenadine hydrochloride Compound (100 gm) from example 1 was added to DM water (1 lit) at 10-300C, then stirred for lhr. at 20-300C, Mass was filtered and washed with water. Cake was dried under vacuum at 65-7O0C to yield 90 gm of the titled compound.
