Description

NOVEL FORM OF O-DESMETHYL VENLAF AXINE
FIELD OF THE INVENTION:
The present invention relates to novel crystalline polymorphic form of O-desmethyl venlafaxine which is designated as form A and process for the preparation of the same.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
The chemical name of O-desmethyl venlafaxine is (±)-l-[2-(dimethylamino)-l-(4-phenol) ethyl] -cyclohexanol, having molecular formula Ci6H25NO2 and molecular weight 263.38. O- desmethyl venlafaxine is represented by structural formula (I).

(I)
O-desmethyl venlafaxine is a major metabolite of venlafaxine and has been shown to inhibit norepinephrine and serotonin uptake [Klamerus, K. J. et al., "Introduction of the Composite Parameter to the Pharmacokinetics of Venlafaxine and its Active O-Desmethyl Metabolite", J. Clin. Pharmacol. 32:716 724 (1992)].
US 6673838 disclose O-desmethyl venlafaxine succinate as well as polymorphs, pharmaceutical compositions, dosage forms, and methods of use.
US 7026508 disclose method of preparation of O-desmethyl venlafaxine which comprises demethylating venlafaxine or a salt thereof with an alkali metal salt of a trialkyl borohydride.
US 7001920 disclose O-desmethyl venlafaxine formate as well as polymorphs, pharmaceutical compositions, dosage forms, and methods of use. Polymorphism is the occurrence of different crystalline forms of a single compound and it is a property of some compounds and complexes in solid state. The polymorphic and pseudopolymorphic solids display different physical properties, including those due to packing, and various thermodynamic, spectroscopic, interfacial and mechanical properties (See H. Brittain, Polymorphism in Pharmaceutical Solids, Marcel Dekker, New York, N. Y., 1999, pp. 1-2). Polymorphic and pseudopolymorphic forms of the drug substance (also known as the "active pharmaceutical ingredient" (API)), as administered by itself or formulated as a drug product (also known as the final or finished dosage form, or as the pharmaceutical composition) are well known and may affect, for example, the solubility, stability, flowability, fractability, and compressibility of drug substances and the safety and efficacy of drug products, (see, e.g., Knapman, K Modem Drug Discoveries, March 2000: 53). Polymorphs of a compound can be characterized by x-ray diffraction pattern, infrared spectrum, DSC etc.
Before a drug compound can be commercialized, a process for its bulk manufacture must be developed that reliably provides a uniform and highly pure grade of the compound. Further, the process must deliver a form of the compound that can be suitably formulated for convenient dosage to patients and which is chemically and physically stable over long periods in that formulation.
A crystalline form of a drug compound has advantages over an amorphous form in several respects. For example, the compound can be easily purified by crystallization and recrystallization. Crystallization is a much cheaper and more convenient method of purification to perform on a large scale than other known methods of purification such as chromatography. Further, a crystalline form is usually more stable than an amorphous form, both before and during formulation and during subsequent storage. Further, when formulating a drug for delivery by inhalation, it is generally easier to mill or micronise a crystalline form to a respirable size (generally considered as particles less than 5 microns in diameter) than an amorphous form. One important physical property that can vary between two polymorphic forms is solubility, which can affect the bioavailability of the drug. Therefore there is a need to develop new polymorphic forms particularly crystalline form of a drug since it provides new opportunity to improve the performance characteristics of a pharmaceutical product.
It has now been surprisingly found that a crystalline form of (±)-l-[2-(dimethylamino)-l-(4- phenol) ethylj-cyclohexanol exists and may be prepared using the processes outlined hereinbelow.
