DH-TYPE CRYSTALLINE FORM OF ADEFOVIR DIPIVOXIL, PREPARING METHOD THEREOF, AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION FOR ANTIVIRAL AGENT COMPRISING THE SAME
The present invention relates to a DH-type crystalline form of adefovir dipivoxil represented by Formula 1 below, a method of preparing the same, and a pharmaceutical composition for an antiviral agent comprising the same.
Formula 1
Figure PCTKR2009002685-appb-I000001
Adefovir dipivoxil represented by the above Formula 1 has the chemical name of 9-[2-[bis(pivaloyloxy)methoxyphosphinylmethoxy]ethyl]adenine. Adefovir dipivoxil, which is known effective for the treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection showing persistently elevated serum aminotransferase (ALT or AST) levels or abnormal histological activity, is commercially available as 'Hepsera™' (Glaxo Smith Kline, Inc.). Adefovir dipivoxil, being an adenosine analog, serves as an acyclic nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor. It interferes with an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase of HBV to inhibit the replication of HBV, thereby showing strong in vivo antiviral activity [Starrett, J.E et al. J. Med. Chem. 1994, 37, 1857].
A method of preparing adefovir dipivoxil is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,663,159, and J. Med. Chem. 1994, 37, 1857, etc.

It discloses pharmaceutical compositions comprising a crystalline adefovir dipivoxil anhydride, a crystalline adefovir dipivoxil dihydrate, and an alkali excipient with improved stability.
Korean Patent No. 0618663 discloses a crystalline adefovir dipivoxil having excellent storage stability, particularly, an anhydrous crystalline form (Form 1), a hydrated crystalline form (dihydrate, Form 2), a methanol solvate crystalline form (Form 3), a fumaric acid salt or complex (Form 4), and other acid addition salts or complexes.
In addition, WO 99/4774 discloses pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one crystalline adefovir dipivoxil, more specifically, including those in an anhydrous crystalline form, an anhydrous crystalline form, a solvate crystalline form, or a salt crystalline form of adefovir dipivoxil.
Polymorphism of adefovir dipivoxil is caused by certain properties of some molecules and molecular complexes. A single molecule of adefovir dipivoxil may produce various solids having distinct physical properties such as melting point, X-ray diffraction pattern, and UV absorption fingerprint. Variations on the physical properties of the polymorphic products result from interaction between molecules (complexes) adjacent to bulk solids and orientation of the molecules. Thus, polymorphic products are considered as different solids having distinct physical properties although they have the same molecular formula.
In general, the development of a novel polymorphic drug broadens the range of pharmaceutical formulations having different properties. Thus, a novel polymorphic drug is efficiently used for various pharmaceutical formulations.
The present invention relates to a novel polymorphic adefovir dipivoxil.
The present invention also relates to a method of preparing a novel polymorphic adefovir dipivoxil.
The present invention also relates a pharmaceutical formulation including a novel polymorphic adefovir dipivoxil.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a DH-type crystalline form of adefovir dipivoxil having a powder X-ray diffraction spectrum peak with a peak intensity being equal to or greater than 200 expressed in diffraction angles (2θ) at 7.84, 8.49, 9.65, 12.43, 14.08, 14.31, 14.69, 15.5, 16.06, 17.14, 17.66, 18.35, 19.10, 19.45, 19.70, 20.34, 20.82, 21.82, 22.11, 22.86, 23.55, 24.46, 25.06, 26.45, 27.03, 27.66, 28.37, 29.09, and 29.77.
A maximum endothermic peak of the DH-type crystalline form of adefovir dipivoxil in differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) thermogram is observed at 71.6℃.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of preparing a DH-type crystalline form of adefovir dipivoxil, the method comprising dissolving adefovir dipivoxil in n-butyl alcohol; and leaving the resulting solution at a temperature ranging from -10℃ to 30℃ to collect precipitated solid.
The novel polymorphic adefovir dipivoxil of DH-type crystalline form may be used to efficiently prepare antiviral agents due to its excellent chemical stability in moisturized conditions.
The above and other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent by describing in detail exemplary embodiments thereof with reference to the attached drawings in which:

Examples
Example 1. Preparation of adefovir dipivoxil in an amorphous form
An amorphous form of adefovir dipivoxil, a raw material to prepare adefovir dipivoxil in DH-type crystalline form, was prepared as follows.
30 g (0.11 mol) of 9-[2-(phosphonomethoxy)ethyl]adenine (PMEA) was dissolved in 240 mL of dimethyl formamide (DMF), 42.4 g of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]undec-7-ene (DBU) was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred. 82.8 g of chloromethyl pivalate was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred at 25℃ for 24 hours. After confirming the termination of reaction via thin layer chromatography (TLC), 240 mL of water was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred for about 10 minutes. The mixture was subjected to extraction three times, each time with 500 mL of toluene, dried using sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 41.3 g of an amorphous form of adefovir dipivoxil (yield: 75%).
Purity: 99.5 % (HPLC); 1H NMR (CDCl3, ppm) 8.32 (s, 1H), 7.91 (s, 1H), 6.14 (s, 2H, NH2), 5.64 (m, 4H), 4.38 (t, 2H, J = 4.8 ㎐), 3.93 (t, 2H, J = 4.8 ㎐), 3.84 (d, 2H, J = 7.5 ㎐), 1.19 (s, 18H, CH3)
Example 2. Preparation of adefovir dipivoxil in DH-type crystalline form
5 g of the adefovir dipivoxil amorphous form prepared in Example 1 was added to 50 mL of anhydrous n-butyl alcohol, and the mixture was completely dissolved while heating at 40℃, and then floating materials were removed by filtration. The filtrate was crystallized at -10℃ for 24 hours while stirring. A precipitated solid was collected by filtration and dried at 25℃ for 48 hours to obtain 4.4 g of A DH-type crystalline form of adefovir dipivoxil (88%).
Purity: 99.9 % (HPLC); 1H NMR (CDCl3, ppm) 8.33 (1H, s), 7.94 (1H, s), 6.02 (2H, br), 5.61-5.69 (4H, m), 4.39 (2H, t), 3.94 (2H, t), 3.85 (2H, d), 1.20 (18H, s), 3.65 (1H, t), 1.56 (1H, quintet), 1.39 (1H, sextet), 0.93 (1.5H, t).
In an NMR spectrum, the peak of a crystalline solvent (n-butyl alcohol) was observed at δ3.65, 1.56, 139, and 0.93 ppm. As a result of calculating the integrated peak area, the amount of the crystalline solvent contained in the crystalline lattice structure was about 0.5 eq. It was identified that weight of adefovir dipivoxil was decreased by 7.4% according to the thermal analysis(TGA).
Powder X-ray diffraction spectrum, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) thermogram, and thermal analysis of The DH-type crystalline form of adefovir dipivoxil prepared in Example 2 were measured, and the results are respectively shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3.
Example 3. Preparation of adefovir dipivoxil in DH-type crystalline form
10 g of adefovir dipivoxil in amorphous form prepared according to Example 1 was added to 100 mL of anhydrous n-butyl alcohol, and the mixture was completely dissolved while heating at 40℃, and then floating materials were removed by filtration. 200 mL of n-hexane was added twice to the filtrate at 10 minute intervals at -5℃ and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 24 hours to crystallize the filtrate. A precipitated solid was collected by filtration and dried at 25℃ for 48 hours to obtain 4.5 g of A DH-type crystalline form of adefovir dipivoxil (yield: 90%, HPLC purity: 99.9%).
NMR spectrum, powder X-ray diffraction spectrum, DSC thermogram, and thermal analyzer of the prepared adefovir dipivoxil DH-type crystalline form were measured. It was identified that the results are identical to those obtained in Example 2.
Example 4. Stability of adefovir dipivoxil DH-type crystalline form
