Description

A METHOD OF PREPARING A HIGHLY PURE POTASSIUM SALT OF
AZILSARTAN MEDOXOMIL Technical Field
The present invention relates to a method of preparation of the potassium salt of (5 -methyl oxo-l,3-dioxol-4-yl)methyl ester of l-[[2'-(2,5-dihydro-5-oxo-l,254-oxadiazol-3-yl)[l,l'- biphenyl]-4-yl]methyl]-2-ethoxy-lH-benzimidazole-7-carboxylic acid of formula (T)
(potassium salt of azilsartan medoxomil)
Figure imgf000002_0001
Background Art The potassium salt of azilsartan medoxomil (I), the synthesis of which is described in EP 1 718 641, EP 2 119 715, is used in the treatment of hypertension. Azilsartan medoxomil is a "prodrug" that is easily enzymatically transformed to azilsartan, which is a highly selective antagonist of angiotensin II ATI receptors.
According to the EP patent 2 119 715 azilsartan medoxomil is prepared by a reaction of the free azilsartan acid with medoxomil alcohol, which provides azilsartan medoxomil as a solvate with dimethyl acetamide. This is then transformed, by crystallization of the product from an acetone/water mixture, to desolvated azilsartan medoxomil, which is subsequently converted to the potassium salt (I).

with a solvent, which is dimethyl acetamide or N-methyl pyrrolidone or their mixtures with other solvents, is prepared, the resulting solvate is optionally re-crystallized, and, in the next step, converted, without desolvating, into the potassium salt using a potassium source.
The potassium source is, e.g., the potassium salt of 2-ethylhexanoic acid, and the solvent used for the conversion to the potassium salt is, e.g., acetone.
Azilsartan medoxomil (II) obtained in accordance with the patent EP 2 119 715 exhibits a maximum purity of 98.0% as determined by HPLC. Its desolvation according to the patent from an acetone/water mixture does not virtually achieve any further purification of the substance, nor does re-crystallization from an acetone/water mixture. Then, such raw material is not suitable for pharmaceutical production. We have already dealt with the issue of azilsartan medoxomil purification in our prior application No. CZ 2012-274, where we used solvates with acetone, tetrahydrofuran or 1 ,2-dimethoxyethane to produce solvates for purification.
In our new method we have surprisingly found out that the obtained crude product, which is in the form of a solvate with dimethyl acetamide, can be re-crystallized in such a way that the product is still a solvate with dimethyl acetamide or a solvate with N-methyl pyrrolidone, and the solvates obtained this way can be easily transformed to the pure potassium salt. The biggest advantage of this method is the fact that crystallization of azilsartan medoxomil in the form of solvates with dimethyl acetamide or N-methyl pyrrolidone clears the substance of both the impurities A and B, which are virtually not removed by desolvation according to the primary patent. Impurity A:

What is interesting is that both the solvates can also be prepared from a non-solvated form of azilsartan medoxomil by crystallization from dimethyl acetamide/isopropyl acetate or N- methyl pyrrolidone/isopropyl acetate mixtures, while the structurally similar dimethyl formamide does not form a solvate under these conditions. Solid forms of azilsartan medoxomil can be described with methods commonly used for characterization of the solid phase, such as X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). A solvate of azilsartan medoxomil with dimethyl acetamide (1 :1) exhibits the following main characteristic peaks in the X-ray Powder Diffraction measured, with the use of CuKa radiation: 11.0; 12.1 ; 17.2, 25.3 ± 0.2° 2theta, and further the following other characteristic peaks: 11.8; 19.5; 22.2; 24.3 ± 0.2° 2theta.
The list of characteristic peaks is shown in Table 2 and an XRPD record in Fig. 3. This form is also characterized with a Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) record, see Fig. 4. The melting point of this form is 110°C - 113°C.

XRPD measurement parameters: The diffraction patterns were measured using an X'PERT PRO MPD PANalytical diffractometer with a graphite monochromator, used radiation CuKa (λ=1.542 A), excitation voltage: 45 kV, anode current: 40 mA, measured range: 2 - 40° 2Θ, increment: 0.01° 2Θ. The measurement was carried out using a flat powder sample that was placed on a Si plate. For the primary optic setting programmable divergence diaphragms with the irradiated sample area of 10 mm, Soller diaphragms 0.02 rad and an anti-dispersion diaphragm ¼ were used. For the secondary optic setting an X'Celerator detector with the maximum opening of the detection slot, Soller diaphragms 0.02 rad and an anti-dispersion diaphragm 5.0 mm were used.
The Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) records were measured with a DSC Pyris 1 device made by Perkin Elmer. The charge of the sample in a standard Al pot was between 3-4 mg and the heating-up rate was 10°C/min. The temperature program used consists of 1 minute of stabilization at the temperature of 50°C and then of heating to 250°C at the heating-up rate of 10°C/min. As the carrier gas 4.0 N2 was used at the flow of 20 ml/min.

4-Toluenesulfonyl chloride (19 g), 4-dimethyl aminopyridine (2.5 g) and potassium carbonate (18 g) were added too a solution of 2-ethoxy-l-((2'-(5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-l,2,4-oxadiazol-3- yl)biphenyl-4-yl)methyl)-lH-benzo[i ]-imidazole-7-carboxylic acid (42.8 g, 0.1 mol) and 4- hydroxymethyl-5-methyl-l,3-dioxol-2-one (16.3 g, 0.125 mol) in dimethyl acetamide (450 ml) under cooling and the mixture was stirred at a temperature of 8-10°C for 3 hours. Then, pH of the mixture was adjusted to 4.5-5 using diluted hydrochloric acid and the insoluble fraction, separated after addition of water, was aspirated and washed with water. After that, the crude product was suspended in a water-acetone mixture and the mixture was stirred at 35 °C for 2 hours. After stirring for another 2 hours in an ice bath the insoluble fraction was aspirated, washed with water and dried in vacuo at 40°C. 42.7 g of the substance (80.1 %) was obtained. HPLC purity: 97.6 %.
