According to the prior art processes, the aqueous solution of doripenem is prepared by heating to a temperature above 500C for dissolution and the processes also require filtration under hot conditions. The present inventors have observed that carrying out dissolution and/or sterilization or filtration of doripenem, which is a heat sensitive compound, at high temperature conditions result in the formation of degradation impurities.

By employing the process of the present invention, doripenem can also be obtained as a monohydrate. Further, the present process is simple and efficient to prepare sterile doripenem at industrial scale.
Detailed Description of the Invention
A first aspect of the present invention provides a process for preparation of sterile doripenem, wherein the process comprises: a) dissolving doripenem in water in the presence of a base, b) filtering the solution obtained in step a) using a filter for sterilization, and c) isolating sterile doripenem from the filtered solution thereof.
Doripenem, which is used as the starting material, may be prepared according to the methods provided in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,317,016 and. 6,111,098 or Yutaka Nishino, et al, Org. Process Res. Dev., 7, pages 846-850 (2003). Doripenem, which is used as the starting material, can exist in any solid form known in the art. Doripenem is dissolved in water in the presence of a base. The base may be selected from the group consisting of hydroxides, bicarbonates or carbonates of alkali metals or alkaline earth metals, alkoxides and amines. The water may be used in a quantity of about 5 times to about 15 times to the weight of doripenem. The base may be used in an amount required to attain a pH of about 8 to about 12 at a temperature of about 300C or below, for example, at a temperature of about 5°C to about 25°C. The solution so obtained is optionally treated with activated carbon and filtered using a filter for sterilization. The filter for sterilization is, for example, a membrane having a pore diameter of about 0.25 microns or below. Sterile doripenem is isolated from the filtered solution. The isolation may be carried out by adjusting the pH of the filtered solution to about 4 to about 6. The pH adjustment may be carried out by the addition of an acid. The acid may be an organic or inorganic acid. The acid may be used in concentrated form or as diluted solutions. The mixture so obtained is optionally seeded with sterile doripenem and stirred at about 0° to about 300C. The stirring may be carried out for about 10 minutes to about 100 hours, for example, for about 1 to about 6 hours. Sterile doripenem may be isolated from the mixture as a monohydrate by filtration, concentration, distillation, treating with water miscible organic solvent or a combination thereof. Sterile doripenem monohydrate is, for example, isolated by treating the mixture with a water miscible organic solvent. The water miscible organic solvent may be selected from the group consisting of acetone, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, dimethylsulfoxide, methanol, ethanol, propanol, dimethylformamide and dioxane. The mixture may be stirred and filtered to obtain sterile doripenem monohydrate.
While the present invention has been described in terms of its specific embodiments, certain modifications and equivalents will be apparent to those skilled in the art and are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention. Example: Preparation of Sterile Doripenem Monohydrate
Doripenem (50 g) was dissolved in water (300 ml) by adding ammonia drop-wise to attain a pH of 8.5 to 9 at 15° to 200C. The solution was treated with activated carbon (5 g) followed by micron filtration using a membrane (0.25 microns). The pH of the filtrate was adjusted to 5 to 5.5 with aqueous formic acid at 10° to 200C. The mixture was stirred at 0° to 5°C for 4 to 5 hours. Isopropyl alcohol (150 ml) was added slowly to the mixture and stirred for about 12 hours at 0° to 5°C. The mixture was filtered and dried at 40° to 500C to obtain the title compound.
