Definitions
- This invention relates to a process for preparing small crystals.
- the invention relates to a process for preparing small crystals of a size of up to about lO ⁇ m.
- the control of crystal and precipitate particle size is very important in some circumstances, in particular in the pharmaceutical and agro-chemical industries in which the final product form of the active principal of interest is in the form of a fine powder.
- the manner in which an active principal behaves in a biological system depends upon many factors inter alia the size of the particle and the crystal form.
- Small particles may be made by processes such as milling, but such processes may have a detrimental effect on the material properties and may also produce a significant proportion of particles which are unsuitable for the desired use, for example, they may be too small or of an inappropriate shape. Such particles may undergo morphological alterations, leading to undesirable surface polymorphological transformation which in turn may give rise to the formation of amorphous structures.
- the particles may become highly charged which may also contribute to undermining flow-rates. Also, particles destined for use in aerosols may be compromised should they become highly charged. Crystallisation of crystals in the desired size range directly from solution would be desirable. For many years it has been known to bring about crystallisation by mixing a solvent containing an active principal to be crystallised with an anti-solvent, so that after mixing the solution is supersaturated and crystallisation occurs. The mixing may occur in the presence of ultrasonic irradiation or in a different manner in which ultrasonic irradiation is not used eg fluid vortex mixing.
- anti-solvent means a fluid which promotes precipitation from the solvent of the active principal of interest (or of a precursor of the active principal) .
- the anti-solvent may comprise a cold gas, or a fluid which promotes the precipitation via a chemical reaction, or which decreases the solubility of the active principal of interest in the solvent; it may the same liquid as the solvent but at a different temperature, or it may be a different liquid from the solvent .
- EP 1144065 describes a system in which mixing of anti-solvent with solvent comprising an active principal to be crystallised is achieved by using a flow rate ratio of anti-solvent: solvent of up to 10:1 in the presence of ultrasonic irradiation in a continuous flow cell. It is described that a warm solvent is mixed with a cold miscible anti-solvent, although the actual temperature of the cold anti-solvent is not disclosed.
- EP 1469938 describes a system in which the flow rate of mixing of anti-solvent with solvent comprising an active principal to be crystallised exceeds that of the solvent, at a flow rate ratio of up to 10:1, typically of from 2:1 up to 5:1.
- the mixing is carried out in the presence of ultrasonic radiation.
- the prior art processes enable the production of crystals using flow rate ratios of anti-solvent: solvent that are generally lower than 20:1 (i.e. towards a flow rate ratio of 10: 1 to as low as 1:1) .
- a process for preparing crystalline particles of a substance in the presence of ultrasonic irradiation that comprises contacting at least one solute in a solvent in a first flowing stream with an anti-solvent in a second flowing stream wherein the flow rate ratio of the anti- solvent: solvent is higher than 20:1, and collecting crystals that are generated.
- the anti-solvent stream is typically re-circulated, for example, in a continuously re-circulating flowing stream, that is to say, in a second flowing stream as described herein.
- the second flowing stream is a continuously recycling anti-solvent stream that can also comprise added solute in solvent, wherein the flow rate ratio of the said second flowing stream (ie anti-solvent) : solvent is higher than 20:1.
- the mean diameter size of particles that are able to be attained using the method of the invention lies in the range of from 500nm up to lO ⁇ m, preferably from about 600nm to about 5 ⁇ m and most preferably from 650nm to about 2 ⁇ m, for example, 700nm or l ⁇ m.

- the flow rate ratio will be governed by the size of the crystals that are required for a given end purpose and the proposed delivery vehicle for them that is to be used in a subject organism.
- the flow rate of the anti-solvent stream through an apparatus suitable for producing crystalline particles using the process of the invention is in the range of litres per hour (1/hr) [e.g. 20L/hr] rather than millilitres per hour (ml/hr) and may be any flow rate suitable for the end purpose in question so long as the flow rate of the anti-solvent is higher than that of the solvent system (ie solute in solvent) by a factor of at least 20:1 and higher as herein defined.

- the selection of appropriate solvent and anti- solvent must be made in accordance with the substance to be crystallised.
- the combined streams of anti- solvent and solvent are subjected to ultrasonic irradiation to form crystals of a desired mean size.
- the ultrasonic energy induces nucleation and subsequent crystallisation of the solute in the anti-solvent in the operating vicinity of the ultrasonic probe if used, or of an ultrasonic energy transducer, such as a wrap-around ultrasonic energy transducer, if such a configuration is employed.
- the ultrasonic energy may be applied continuously or in a discontinuous manner, such as by pulsed application. Any suitable source of ultrasonic irradiation may be used.
- An ultrasonic probe may, for example, be inserted into a mixing vessel, such as a continuous ultrasonic flow cell, an ultrasonic emitter may be contained in the mixing vessel, or the mixing vessel may be housed in an ultrasonic bath or it may have an ultrasound transducer fixed to the external walls of the mixing vessel.
- the amplitude and frequency of the ultrasound waves affects the rate of nucleation and crystal growth.
- the frequency of the ultrasound waves may for example be from 20 kHz to 1 MHz, preferably from 10-500 kHz, more preferably from 10 - 100 kHz such as at 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, or 100 kHz or at any frequency thereinbetween, such as, 20 kHz or 40 kHz.
- the ultrasonic irradiation is employed at an amplitude that is appropriate for the formation of crystals of the desired size, for a pre-determined application.

- the power density for the transducers employed may be from 150 - 600 W/l, preferably from 250-600 W/l, and more preferably from 300- 600 W/l, for example 250 W/l or 450 W/l.
- the residence time of the mixed components in the ultrasonic flow cell may be from 10 ms up to about 10 s.
- the residence time can be longer depending on design.
- the skilled addressee will appreciate that the residence time in the ultrasonic flow cell for each volume of fluid that is placed in it will be of the order of 10 ms up to 10 s, depending on design.
- the process may be employed in reactors employed in the art such as in a batch fed reactor or in a continuous flow reactor, depending on design.
- reactors employed in the art such as in a batch fed reactor or in a continuous flow reactor, depending on design.
- the man skilled in the art is well acquainted with such reactor types and their operation.
- Generated crystals may be gathered or harvested from the batch chamber by drawing off crystals using conventional means in the art, such as by the process described in WO 03/092851.
- Figure 1 shows a longitudinal sectional view of a crystallisation apparatus incorporating two separate feed stream delivery means for the solvent and anti-solvent leading into an ultrasonic continuous flow cell having an ultrasonic probe placed therein;
- Figure 2 shows a longitudinal sectional view of a crystallisation apparatus incorporating a single feed stream delivery means where the solvent and anti-solvent are introduced coaxially, mixed, and driven in a single stream into an ultrasonic continuous flow cell having an ultrasonic transducing apparatus bonded onto it.
- closed loop crystallisation apparatus 10 comprises an impeller 5 in a first feed chamber 4 (surrounded by a thermal jacket 3), with an axial outlet 6 through which liquid anti-solvent flows into a delivery means 7 and is pumped at a first flow rate via pump 8 into an ultrasonic flow cell chamber 12.
- a liquid solute in solvent is pumped via a pump 9 at a flow rate different from that of the anti- solvent from a second chamber (not shown) via delivery means 10 through to delivery means 11 and into ultrasonic flow cell chamber 12 where the two liquids are mixed.
- Ultrasonic probe 1 irradiates the mixture with ultrasonic energy and the mixture flows through an outlet 2 and into the first feed chamber 4, completing a continuous closed flow loop.
- the flow cycle is repeated until crystallised particles of a desired size are attained.
- the saturated solution is thoroughly and rapidly mixed with the anti-solvent, the volume of the chamber 4 and the flow rates being such that the residence time in the ultrasonic flow cell chamber 12 is for example, 10 s.
- the ultrasonic energy from the probe 1 insonates the entire volume of the chamber 12 with sufficient intensity to cause dispersion and nucleation, as localised cavitation occurring on a microscopic scale promotes changes in fluid temperature and pressure that induce nucleation (and also promotes formation of the stable polymorph) .
- the ultrasound has the additional benefit that any crystal deposits within the chamber 12 tend to be removed from the surfaces.
- closed loop crystallisation apparatus 10 of Figure 1 may be configured differently, for example, by replacing delivery means 11 with a single delivery means wherein the two liquid feeds from delivery means 7 and 10 may be contacted coaxially therein, prior to being fed into ultrasonic flow cell chamber 12 through a single inlet.
- closed loop crystallisation apparatus 20 is of a similar configuration to that of Figure 1 except that chamber 22 has a wrap-around ultrasonic transducer 23 located on the external surface of it.
- the wrap-around transducer 23 insonates the entire volume of the chamber 22 with sufficient intensity to cause nucleation and by adjusting the power of the ultrasound, and the residence time in the chamber 22, the degree of nucleation can therefore be controlled.
- the ultrasound has the additional benefit that any crystal deposits within the chamber 22 tend to be removed from the surfaces.
- a further difference of the configuration of Figure 2 from that of Figure 1 is that the two liquid feeds from delivery means 7 and 10 are contacted coaxially within a single delivery means 21 and fed into the ultrasonic chamber 22 via a single inlet.
- thermal jacket is designed to help maintain the temperature of the anti-solvent at a desired temperature, depending on design.
- 2-Propanol (0.7 L) was charged to a 1 L stirred crystallizer (200 rpm) fitted with a thermo-regulation jacket. The temperature was adjusted to 16°C.
- the 2- propanol was pumped around a recirculation loop using a diaphragm pump (operating at 20 1/h) and a 60 ml thermo- regulated glass ultrasonic flow-cell fitted with a 30 mm diameter 20 kHz ultrasonic probe.
