  • Polymorphism is the occurrence of different crystalline forms of a single compound and it is a property of some compounds and complexes. Thus, polymorphs are distinct solids sharing the same molecular formula, yet each polymorph may have distinct physical properties. Therefore, a single compound may give rise to a variety of polymorphic forms where each form has different and distinct physical properties, such as different solubility profiles, different melting point temperatures and/or different x-ray diffraction peaks. Since the solubility of each polymorph may vary, identifying the existence of pharmaceutical polymorphs is essential for providing pharmaceuticals with predictable solubility profiles. It is desirable to investigate all solid state forms of a drug, including all polymorphic forms and solvates, and to determine the stability, dissolution and flow properties of each polymorphic form.
  • Polymorphic forms and solvates of a compound can be distinguished in a laboratory by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy and by other methods such as, infrared spectrometry. Additionally, polymorphic forms and solvates of the same drug substance or active pharmaceutical ingredient, can be administered by itself or formulated as a drug product (also known as the final or finished dosage form), and are well known in the pharmaceutical art to affect, for example, the solubility, stability, flowability, tractability and compressibility of drug substances and the safety and efficacy of drug products.
  • New polymorphic forms or solvates of a pharmaceutically useful compound may provide a new opportunity to improve the performance characteristics of a pharmaceutical product. It also adds to the material that a formulation scientist has available for designing, for example, a pharmaceutical dosage form of a drug with a targeted release profile or other desired characteristic.

PRIORITY: This application claims the benefit under Indian Provisional Application No. 2687/CHE/2014 filed on June 2, 2014 entitled "Novel polymorphs of tenofovir disoproxil oxalate and process for preparation of the same", the content of which is incorporated by reference herein. FIELD OF THE INVENTION:
The present invention relates to novel polymorphs of tenofovir disoproxil oxalate, process for its preparation and pharmaceutical composition comprising the same. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
Tenofovir disoproxil is a highly potent antiviral agent, particularly for the prophylaxis or therapy of retroviral infections and belongs to a class of drugs called Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTI) which blocks reverse transcriptase an enzyme crucial to viral production in HIV-infected people. Tenofovir disoproxil is chemically known as 9- [(R)-2 [ [bis [ [(isopropoxycarbonyl)oxy] methoxy] phosphinyl]methoxy]propyl] adenine and represented by the following structural formula-I.

Formula-I
Tenofovir disoproxil is approved as its fumarate salt and is available in the market under the brand name VIREAD® in the form of 300 mg of oral tablets and in combination with other antiviral agents.
U.S. Patent No. 5,922,695 ("the '695 patent") discloses phosphonomethoxy nucleotide analogs such as tenofovir disoproxil and the salts, hydrates, tautomers and solvates thereof. The '695 paten further discloses a process for the preparation of tenofovir disoproxil as its fumarate salt. PCT publication number WO 2009074351 ("the '351 publication") discloses solid forms of weak organic acid salts of tenofovir disoproxil such as succinic acid (TDSU ULT-1, TDSU ULT-2, TDSU ULT-3 & TDSU ULT-4), tartaric acid (TDTA ULT-1, TDTA ULT-2 & TDTA ULT-3), saccharic acid (TDSA ULT-1, TDSA ULT-2 & TDSA ULT-3), citric acid (TDCI ULT-1), oxalic acid (TDOX ULT-1, TDOX ULT-2, TDOX ULT-3 & TDOX ULT-4), salicylic acid (TDSY ULT-1) and processes for their preparation. All the above solid forms of tenofovir disoproxil salts were characterized by PXRD, DSC and TGA analytic techniques. PCT publication number WO2015051874 ("the '874 publication") discloses a process for the preparation of tenofovir disoproxil oxalate by treating the solution of tenofovir disoproxil in toluene with oxalic acid.
Polymorphism is the occurrence of different crystalline forms of a single compound and it is a property of some compounds and complexes. Thus, polymorphs are distinct solids sharing the same molecular formula, yet each polymorph may have distinct physical properties. Therefore, a single compound may give rise to a variety of polymorphic forms where each form has different and distinct physical properties, such as different solubility profiles, different melting point temperatures and/or different x-ray diffraction peaks. Since the solubility of each polymorph may vary, identifying the existence of pharmaceutical polymorphs is essential for providing pharmaceuticals with predictable solubility profiles. It is desirable to investigate all solid state forms of a drug, including all polymorphic forms and solvates, and to determine the stability, dissolution and flow properties of each polymorphic form.
Polymorphic forms and solvates of a compound can be distinguished in a laboratory by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy and by other methods such as, infrared spectrometry. Additionally, polymorphic forms and solvates of the same drug substance or active pharmaceutical ingredient, can be administered by itself or formulated as a drug product (also known as the final or finished dosage form), and are well known in the pharmaceutical art to affect, for example, the solubility, stability, flowability, tractability and compressibility of drug substances and the safety and efficacy of drug products.
The discovery of new polymorphic forms or solvates of a pharmaceutically useful compound, like tenofovir, may provide a new opportunity to improve the performance characteristics of a pharmaceutical product. It also adds to the material that a formulation scientist has available for designing, for example, a pharmaceutical dosage form of a drug with a targeted release profile or other desired characteristic. New polymorphic forms of the tenofovir disoproxil oxalate have now been discovered and have been designated as tenofovir disoproxil oxalate Form-Ll and Form-L2. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:
