Description

INDUSTRIALLY ADVANTAGEOUS PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF LISINOPRIL DIHYDRATE
Field of invention: The present invention relates to an industrially advantageous process for the production of lisinopril dihydrate which is selective and does not involve column chromatographic techniques. Also the process is economically advantageous and saves the time consumed in cumbersome column methods.Present invention also discloses a novel method of condensing NH-protected L-lysine and carboxy protected L-proline in the preparation of lisinopril dihydrate.
Background of invention: Lisinopril is a drug of the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor class that is primarily used in treatment of hypertension, congestive heart failure, heart attacks and also in preventing renal and retinal complications.Lisinopril was the third ACE inhibitor after captopril and enalapril and was introduced into therapy in the early \990s(Nature 288 (5788): 280-3). Lisinopril has a number of properties that distinguish it from other ACE inhibitors as it is hydrophilic, has long half life and tissue penetration and is not metabolized by the liver. Lisinopril is the lysine-analog of enalapril. Unlike other ACE inhibitors, lisinopril is not a prodrug and is excreted unchanged in the urine. In cases of overdosage, it can be removed from circulation by dialysis.
US 4,374,829 discloses the process wherein crude lisinopril is adsorbed on strong acid ion exchange resin to remove salts and is eluted with a solvent which is further purified by gel filtration chromatography.The disadvantage of using column is the limitations in batch sizes and the amount and quality of water used in removing the salts. Sulfate ash and inorganic salts contamination in the final product is another critical aspect with columns. EP 0168769 A2 discloses the process wherein the lisinopril along with salts is adsorbed on strong acid ion exchange resins and washed with water to remove salts.The product was then eluted from the ion exchange resin using a solvent and further purified and crystallised to get lisinopril dihydrate.
US 6,271,393 discloses the process of preparation of lisinopril wherein protected lisinopril is subjected to hydrolysis followed by separation using water miscible organic solvent particularly ethanol. The disadvantage of the process is, to eliminate the inorganic salts the dilution/concentration procedure has to be repeated more number of times which is industrially cumbersome. During the recovery of lisinopril by crystallisation after neutralisation ,further neutralisation is necessary and the salt formed at that step may contaminate the desired crystals or may worsen the crystallisability of the desired product. As the solvent ethanol is water miscible organic solvent and the process is carried out in aqueous medium, the neutral inorganic salts contamination in the final product depends on the operation concentration,temperature , pH and procedure.
To overcome the disadvantages of prior disclosed art the present invention discloses a process which is industrially feasibleness cumbersome and gives high yields with more purity.
Summary of the invention:
It is the principle aspect of the present invention to provide an improved and industrially feasible process for making compound of formula I

known as lisinopril dihydrate which minimizes the sulphate ash, inorganic salts in the final product and also is time saving.
In accordance with the preffered embodiment, the present invention provides the process for the preparation of compounds of formula I which is lisinopril dihydrate comprising the following steps:
(a) Condensing NH-protected lysine with carboxy protected proline in presence of acid chlorides like pivaloyl chloride, phenylchloroformate, substituted phenylchloroformate like 4-nitrophenylchloroformate in presence of organic bases like triethylamine,N-methyl morpholine ,4-dimethylaminopyridine,pyridine.
(b) Deprotecting the compound obtained from step 1 in presence of reducing agents like Pd/C, in C1-C4 alkanols under hydrogen atmosphere.
(c) Reductive alkylating the compound obtained from step 2 to form protected lisinopril in presence of reducing agents in Ci-C4 alkanols under hydrogen atmosphere.
(d) Isolating lisinopril dihydrate from protected lisinopril by using either
> Partially water immiscible organic solvent (or)
> more water soluble salts
(e) Optionally crystallising lisinopril dihydrate In accordance with another preferred embodiment the present invention provides the process for preparing compounds of formula I without using the columns for purification which method is industrially disadvantageous compare to the solvent purification.

Figure imgf000005_0002
where R is a C1-C4 alkyl group, preferably ethyl group.
In another embodiment of the present invention the condensation between NH protected lysine with carboxy protected L-proline is carried out in presence of acid chlorides like pivaloyl chloride phenylchloroformate, substituted phenylchloroformate like 4- nitrophenylchloroformate inpresence of organic bases like triethylamine, N-methyl morpholine, 4-dimethylaminopyridine or pyridine.
Isolation of lisinopril dihydrate from protected lisinopril is carried out by first hydrolyzing with inorganic bases. In the second step the reaction mixture obtained after hydrolysis is neutralized using a strong inorganic acid to pH about 5.0 to 6.0 and given washing with water immiscible organic solvent to remove organic impurities. Further the reaction mixture pH is adjusted to below 4.0 preferably to 2.5 to 4.0 with dilute inorganic acid. At this pH the lisinopril acid salts formed are more soluble in organic phase and are extracted with, partially water miscible solvent at a temperature range of about 0-80°C, optionally of about 15-300C and inorganic salts remains in water. The organic layer pH is adjusted to about 5.0 to 6.0 with a base to get lisinopril and the reaction mass is further concentrated. To this solution water is added. pH of the solution is maintained at about 5.0 to 6.0 and crude lisinopril dihydrate is crystallized .The lisinopril dihydrate thus obtained does not have organic as well as inorganic impurities .This process avoids using column, to remove inorganic impurities which are industrially very cumbersome to remove.
In the present invention inorganic bases used for hydrolysis are selected from but not restricted to hydroxides and carbonates of alkali and alkaline earthmetals such as sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, magnecium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide or mixtures thereof. These bases are used as aqueous solutions and may be added successively or all at once so that pH may be maintained at a selective value during hydrolysis. Inorganic acids that are used are selected from but not limited to strong acids, preferably hydrochloric and sulphuric acids. The amount of inorganic acid used, mainly depends on the amount of inorganic base used for hydrolysis. After the neutralization step the organic impurities are generally removed by washing with water immiscible solvent which is selected from dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and like. The inorganic salts formed from inorganic base and inorganic acid are removed by selective extraction of the compound into partially water miscible solvent like n-butanol and leaving the inorganic salts in aqueous phase. Thus the inorganic salts impurity can be controlled at this stage which is industrially advantageous and time saving. The acids and the bases are used for maintaining certain pH and these are hot selective as per the examples.
The advantage of the present invention is removal of column techniques in isolating the compound from inorganic salts and also during purification process .Inorganic salts are removed through selective separation by using partially water miscible solvents thus reducing the inorganic salts impurity in the final product and also sulphated ash impurities which are critical when using columns, is bypassed.
Also in another embodiment of the present invention the inorganic salts formed from inorganic base and inorganic acid are removed by using more water soluble organic or inorganic salts like ammonium chloride, triethylamine hydrochloride which expedite the process of precipitation of inorganic salts formed due to neutralization from inorganic base and inorganic acid .The organic solvent used for dilution in this process is a poor solvent for the inorganic salt i.e the percentage of elimination of the inorganic salt increases with increased percentage of organic solvent. More preferable organic solvents are C1-C4 alkanols, acetone, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile and like. Water content of the organic solvent having lisinopril, is adjusted to about 8.5 to 12% w/w and crystallized lisinopril dihydrate using lisinopril seeding.
Purification of lisinopril dihydrate is carried out by giving carbon treatment to crude compound solution in water and further crystallization from Ci-C4 alkanols preferably ethanol with lisinopril seeding.
The present invention is advantageous as regards to the solvent system which is suitable for selective separation of organic and inorganic salts after neutralization step thereby simplifying the process and in turn minimizing the possible adverse effects in the case of presence of inorganic salts in trace amounts in the final product.
Another aspect of the present invention is to expedite the precipitation of inorganic salts formed due to neutralization by using more water soluble salts and isolating lisinopril dihydrate by using organic solvents.
