Description
A PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF HIGHLY PURE RANOLAZINE BASE
FIELD OF THE INVENTION;
The present invention relates to an improved and novel process for the preparation of highly pure (>99.8) N-(2,6-Dimethyl phenyl)-4-[2-hydroxy-3-(2-methoxy phenoxy) propyl]- 1-piperazine acetamide (Ranolazine) of formula-I and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts process for preparation thereof.
Formula-I
Back ground of the invention
Ranolazine (Formula-I) is a novel anti-anginal agent which has been reported to protect against biochemical electrophysiological and thermodynamic consequences of transient myocardial ischmia in the pentobarbitone-anesthetized dog, without inducing overt hemodynamic effects.
Formula-I
US patent 4567264 describes the preparation of Ranolazine base from basic stages by condensing ofN-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-l-piperazineacetamide (II) with l-(2- methoxyphenoxy)2,3-epoxypropane (III). The base thus obtained was of 75-80% pure and was purified by column chromatography and isolated as oil. The hydrochloride salt was prepared in methanol using hydrochloric acid and the salt was isolated by addition of ether.
(ID (III) Formula-I
EP 0483932 describes the preparation of Ranolazine base by condensation of α-[N,N-bis(2-chloroethyl)-amino]-2,6-dimethylacetanilide Hydrochloride(IV) with l-[3- (2-methoxy phenoxy)-2-hydroxy]-propylamine(V). The base thus obtained was of 75- 80% pure and was purified by column chromatography and isolated as oil.The hydrochloride was crystallized by addition of diethyl ether as co solvent.
Ranolazine base is the precursor of the salt forms of Ranolazine. As such, there is a need for Ranolazine base of high purity which may be conveniently used as a precursor in the preparation of highly pure Ranolazine dihydrochloride.
It is observed that pharmaceutically acceptable salts of Ranolazine when prepared from Ranolazine of lower purity do not. meet with the pharmaceutically acceptable quality.
There is therefore an unfulfilled need to provide industrially feasible process for the preparation of pharmaceutically acceptable salts of Ranolazine from less pure Ranolazine without column chromatography purification as described in the prior art.
To overcome the problem the inventors have tried to prepare highly pure Ranolazine base through acid addition salts of Ranolazine of lower purity. When the base is liberated from the acid addition salts, Ranolazine base of higher purity results.
It is surprisingly found by the inventors that when the less pure Ranolazine is reacted with fumaric acid it selectively forms the corresponding acid addition salt, leaving behind the other related substances and impurities which are otherwise difficult to remove by the conventional methods. The fumaric acid salt of Ranolazine is further converted to highly pure Ranolazine base which in turn is converted into other pharmaceutically acceptable salts with higher purity. Summary of the invention
The main object of the present invention is to provide an improved process for the preparation of highly pure (>99.8%) Ranolazine base and/or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts
Another object of the invention is to provide a process for preparation of highly pure (>99.8%) Ranolazine and/or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts using fumaric acid salt of Ranolazine.
Accordingly in the present invention highly pure Ranolazine and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts are prepared by i. preparing Ranolazine base by the condensation of N-(2,6-dimethylρhenyl)-l- piperazineacetamide (II) with l-(2-methoxyphenoxy)2,3-epoxypropane (III) to afford Ranolazine base as syrup of purity 75-80%
ii. Treatment of impure Ranolazine with hydrochloric acid and again liberation of Ranolazine of purity of 97.0% iii. Treating Ranolazine with fumaric acid yielding fumaric acid addition salt of Ranolazine(Ranolazine fumarate) iv) neutralizing Ranolazine fumarate and isolating Ranolazine of purity 99.85% and v) converting highly pure Ranolazine to other acceptable acid addition salts
Detailed description of the invention
Thus in accordance with the present invention preparation of Ranolazine and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts comprise the following steps
i. condensation of N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-l-piperazineacetamide (II) with l-(2-methoxyphenoxy)2,3-epoxyproane (III) to yield crude Ranolazine base as syrup of purity 75-80% ii. Treatment of impure Ranolazine with hydrochloric acid again liberation of Ranolazine of purity 97.0%
iii. Treating crude Ranolazϊne with fumaric acid yielding fumaric acid addition salt of
Ranolazine(Ranolazine fumarate) iv. Converting Ranolazine fumaric acid addition salt to highly pure(>99.8)Ranolazine
