Background of the Invention
Ivabradine hydrochloride is chemically, 7,8-dimethoxy-3-[3-[[(l S)-(4,5- dimethoxybenzocyclobutan-l -yl)methyl]methylamino]propyl]-l ,3,4,5-tetrahydro-7,8- dimethoxy-2H-3-benzazepin-2-one hydrochloride and has the structure formula I:
Figure imgf000002_0001
Ivabradine hydrochloride is a novel medication used for the symptomatic management of stable angina pectoris. Ivabradine hydrochloride acts by reducing the heart rate in a mechanism different from beta blockers and calcium channel blockers, two commonly prescribed antianginal drugs. It is classified as a cardiotonic agent. It is marketed under the brand name Procoralan® by Abbott.
Ivabradine and its hydrochloride salt were disclosed in U.S. patent no.5,296,482 ('482 patent). According to the '482 patent, ivabradine hydrochloride can be prepared by the condensation of (S)-N-[(4,5-dimethoxybenzocyclobut-lyl)methyl]-N-(methyl)amine with 7,8-dimethoxy-3-[3-iodopropyl]-l ,3-de-hydro -2H-3-benzazepin-2-one in acetone and potassium carbonate to obtain 7,8-dimethoxy-3-[3-[[(l S)-(4,5- dimethoxybenzocyclobutan-1 -yl)methyl]methylamino]propyl]-l ,3-de-hydro -7,8- dimethoxy-2H-3-benzazepin-2-one, and then reduced with palladium hydroxide in glacial acetic acid under the atmosphere of hydrogen gas to get ivabradine which is converted into its hydrochloride salt by the action of aqueous hydrochloric acid.
Polymorphism is defined as "the ability of a substance to exist as two or more crystalline phases that have different arrangement and/or conformations of the molecules in the crystal Lattice. Thus, in the strict sense, polymorphs are different crystalline structures of the same pure substance in which the molecules have different arrangements and/or different configurations of the molecules". Different polymorphs may differ in their physical properties such as melting point, solubility, X-ray diffraction patterns, etc. Although those differences disappear once the compound is dissolved, they can appreciably influence pharmaceutically relevant properties of the solid form, such as handling properties, dissolution rate and stability. Such properties can significantly influence the processing, shelf life, and commercial acceptance of a polymorph. It is therefore important to investigate all solid forms of a drug, including all polymorphic forms, and to determine the stability, dissolution and flow properties of each polymorphic form. Polymorphic forms of a compound can be distinguished in the laboratory by analytical methods such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Infrared spectrometry (IR).
Solvent medium and mode of crystallization play very important role in obtaining one polymorphic Form over the other.
Ivabradine and its hydrochloride salt can exist in different polymorphic Forms, which may differ from each other in terms of stability, physical properties, spectral data and methods of preparation.
