Background Art
The patent EP1856041 Bl describes a process for the preparation of a mixture of two possible diastereomeric pairs of glycopyrronium bromide, the [R,S and [S,R] pair and the [R,R] and [S,S] pair. Separation of these two diastereomeric pairs of glycopyrronium bromide by crystallization is described therein from a mixture of solvents, methanol and methyl ethyl ketone, in ratios varying in the range of 1:5 to 1:8. The patent suggests that with the use of these solvents triple crystallization is necessary to achieve an acceptable optical purity of the product, while the total yield of these three crystallizations is said to be 33%. According to the patent data the particle size of the product should be up to 100 micrometers at most, the particles being then preferably raicronized for use in a dosage form, but the patent does not mention any more detailed information about the particle size distribution, analytic method used etc. However, a reproduction of the preparation method according to the patent has shown that the size of particles obtained with the use of this method varies in the range of 15 to 240 μηι.
Disclosure of Invention The object of this invention is a crystallization process providing the desired diastereomeric pair, [R,S] and [S,R], of glycopyrronium bromide with a high yield and a high diastereomeric purity. The product further exhibits a narrow particle size distribution, which makes the particles suitable for the preparation of the drug form without the need of subsequent micronization in some embodiments.
Detailed description of the invention
The essence of the invention is a crystallization process, wherein the desirable [R,S] and [S,R] pair is separated from a mixture of two diastereomeric pairs of glycopyrronium bromide, the [R,S\ and [S,R] pair and [R,R] and [S,S\ pair, by crystallization with the use of a suitable solvent. 2-Propanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol and tert-butanol were used as suitable solvents. In a preferred embodiment in accordance with this invention a mixture of two diastereomeric pairs of glycopyrronium bromide is dissolved in a hot state in the selected solvent and the solution is subsequently cooled down, while the desired pair [R,S] and [S,R] is crystallized from the solvent.
This cooling should preferably follow a controlled temperature gradient, which ensures a suitable distribution of the particle size. Unlike the use of a system of solvents (solvent - anti-solvent) it is thus convenient to only use one solvent as it facilitates better control of the cooling temperature gradient and control of the entire crystallization.
In the patent EP1856041B1, there are described three recrystallizations with the use of methanol and 2-butanol as the anti-solvent, necessary to achieve an acceptable optical purity, the total yield of these three crystallizations being reported as 33% in the patent. The size of particles obtained with the use of this method varies in the range of 15 to 240 um.
In the case of crystallizations from 2-propanol, 1 -propanol, 1-butanol and /ert-butanol two crystallizations are only sufficient to achieve acceptable diastereomeric purity (not less than 99.9%) and the total yield varies in the range of 40 to 45%. In the case of 2-propanol particles with the size of 8 to 170 μιη are obtained, in the case of 1 -propanol particles with the size of 2 to 11 um are obtained, in the case of 1-butanol particles with the size of 2 to 14 fim are obtained and in the case of teri-butanol particles with the size of 2 to 30 μιη are obtained. In case of 1- propanol, 1-butanol crystals with narrow particle size distributions of less than 20 μηι are provided, which makes them conveniently usable for a dosage form without the need of micronization. All the crystallizations provided glycopyrronium bromide in the crystalline form A, characterized by the XRPD spectrum in Fig. 1 and the carbon solid-state NMR spectrum in Fig. 2.
