A PROCESS FOR PREPARATION OF SOLID IVABRADINE HYDROCHLORIDE
The present invention relates to a process for preparation of a solid form of ivabradine hydrochloride preferably in the polymorphic form delta or delta-d.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Ivabradine, chemically 3-[3-({ [(7S)-3,4-dimethoxybicyclo[4.2.0]octa-l,3,5-trien-7- yl]methyl}(methyl)amino)propyl]-7,8-dimethoxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepin-2-one of formula (I)
Figure imgf000002_0001
is a pharmaceutically active substance, which is used for the symptomatic management of stable angina pectoris. It reduces the heart rate by a mechanism different from beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers, which are commonly prescribed antianginal drugs.
The molecule of the formula (I) has one chiral carbon atom in position 7. Ivabradine is the single (S) enantiomer.
In the marketed products, which are film-coated tablets for oral administration and are sold, e.g., under trade name Procoralan® by Servier, ivabradine is present as a hydrochloride salt form.
Ivabradine hydrochloride was first disclosed in EP 534859. Crystalline ivabradine hydrochloride was obtained therein by treatment of ivabradine base with 0.1 N HC1 and recrystallization of the residual mass after evaporation of the mixture from acetonitrile in 55% yield.
Various crystalline forms (polymorphs) of ivabradine hydrochloride, which are characterized by a certain distinct pattern of signals in the XRPD spectrum, are known in the art.
Alfa-crystalline form is disclosed in US 7176197 and is obtainable by a crystallization of ivabradine hydrochloride from a toluene/ l-methyl-2-pyrrolidone mixture.
Beta-crystalline form is disclosed in US 2006/0194962 and is obtainable by
crystallization of ivabradine hydrochloride from water or an isopropanol- water mixture. This form is a hydrate and, if heated, it may be converted to the anhydrous beta-d crystalline form as shown in US 2006/0194965.
Gamma-crystalline form is disclosed in US 2006/0194963 and is obtainable by a crystallization of ivabradine hydrochloride from 2-ethoxyethanol, a mixture of 2- ethoxyethanol and water or a mixture of ethanol and water. This form is a hydrate and, if heated, it may be converted to the anhydrous gamma-d crystalline form as shown in US 2006/0194964.
EP 1775288 (US 2007/0082885) discloses the delta-form of crystalline ivabradine hydrochloride. The product is prepared by a crystallization of the product of EP 534859 from acetonitrile and isolation of the crystalline product from the reaction mixture after 2 days standing by filtration and drying at ambient temperature. The crystalline form delta is a hydrate comprising about 2.8% of water.
EP 1775287 (US 2007/0082886) discloses the dehydrated delta form (delta-d form) of crystalline ivabradine hydrochloride. The product is prepared by crystallization of the product of EP 534859 from acetonitrile and isolation of the crystalline product from the reaction mixture after 2 days standing by filtration and heating of the solid product at 85°C for 4 hours. The crystalline form delta-d is an anhydrous product.
Ivabradine can be prepared for example by the process as described in EP 534859. The process is depicted in the following scheme:
Figure imgf000004_0001
Hal: halogen Compound 3 Compound 2
Figure imgf000004_0002
The Compound 3 (i.e. (S)-l-(3,4-dimethoxybicyclo[4.2.0]octa-l,3,5-trien-7-yl)-N- methylmethanamine) that is not consumed by reaction with 3-(3-halogenopropyl)-7,8- dimethoxy-lH-benzo[d]azepin-2(3H)-one remains in the reaction mixture and if not removed it will subsequently negatively affect the purity of the final ivabradine hydrochloride. The removal of the Compound 3 from Compound 2 is not trivial.
In the prior art several purification processes are disclosed. EP 534859 discloses the use of chromatography for ivabradine purification. It is not desirable to use chromatography in production. EP 2495237 discloses a purification procedure comprising derivatization of ivabradine and subsequent transformation of the derivative into ivabradine. The drawback of the procedure is the need for the use of additional chemical steps after ivabradine has been prepared.
Thus, the objective of the present invention is to provide an improved process yielding pure crystalline ivabradine hydrochloride, advantageously in delta or delta-d form, without employing toxic crystallization solvents. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a solid form of ivabradine hydrochloride by reduction of Compound 2 or a salt thereof
Figure imgf000005_0001
Compound 2
in an aqueous solvent followed by extraction of ivabradine wherein the extraction comprises the steps of:
1) adding a water immiscible solvent
2) separating the layers
3) washing the water immiscible solvent layer with an amount of an acidic
aqueous solution sufficient to obtain a molar ratio ivabradine to acid between 1:0.001 and 1:0.2
The process can be followed by crystallization of ivabradine hydrochloride from the water immiscible solvent by adding an ethanolic solution of hydrochloric acid, preferably at room temperature, and optionally isolating solid ivabradine hydrochloride.
The process can optionally be followed by the step of drying under vacuum the obtained ivabradine hydrochloride at a temperature between 40°C and 80°C, preferably at a temperature between 45°C and 55°C to obtain ivabradine hydrochloride form delta-d characterized by XRPD pattern comprising, inter alia, peaks at 8.5°, 14.5°, 15.2°, 17.1°, 18.1°, 20.9°, 21.4°, 22.1°, 23.9°, 26.3° theta (+ 0.2) when measured with CuKal radiation ( = 1.54060).
The process can also optionally be followed by the step of drying under vacuum the obtained ivabradine hydrochloride at a temperature below 40°C, preferably below 30°C, to obtain ivabradine hydrochloride form delta characterized by XRPD pattern comprising, inter alia, peaks at 4.1°, 11.0°, 14.7°, 15.3°, 16.9°, 17.8°, 18.0°, 21.6°, 21.9°, 22.1°, 25.8° theta (+ 0.2) when measured with CuKal radiation k= 1.54060).
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a solid
ivabradine hydrochloride by reduction of Compound 2 or a salt thereof
Figure imgf000006_0001
Compound 2
in an aqueous solvent followed by extraction of ivabradine wherein the extraction comprises the steps of:
1) adding a water immiscible solvent
2) separating the layers
3) washing the water immiscible solvent layer with an amount of an acidic
aqueous solution sufficient to obtain a molar ratio ivabradine to acid between 1:0.001 and 1:0.2
The aqueous solvent used in the reduction is either water or a mixture of water and a water miscible solvent. Preferably, water is used. The reduction is performed with a reduction catalyst. The reduction catalyst can be for example Pd/C or Pd(OH)2/C, preferably
Pd(OH)2/C. The concentration of Compound 2 in the aqueous solvent is between 6% (w/w) and 13% (w/w), preferably between 9% (w/w) and 11% (w/w). The salt form of Compound 2 is preferably the hydrochloride salt. The reduction is performed at a temperature between 30°C and 70°C, preferably between 45 and 55°C. Reduction is preferably done using gaseous hydrogen. The reduction is finished after the most of Compound 2 is transformed into ivabradine. It typically runs for 3-10 hours, preferably for 4-6 hours. After the reduction is finished, the reaction mixture is cooled to 20-35°C and the hydrogenation catalyst is filtrated off. In case Compound 2 was reduced in the form of a salt, ivabradine is also obtained in the form of the salt. The obtained salt of ivabradine is treated with a base, preferably a water solution of a base, to obtain a mixture of the free form of ivabradine and the aqueous solvent. The mixture is extracted with a water immiscible solvent. Preferably ethyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, toluene or mixtures thereof are used. The concentration of ivabradine in the water immiscible solvent is between 0.5 mmol/ml and 5 mmol/ml, preferably 1 mmol/ml and 3 mmol/ml, most preferably 1 mmol/ml. The layers are separated and the water layer is disposed. The water immiscible layer is washed with an acidic aqueous solution. The amount of the acidic aqueous solution is sufficient to obtain a molar ratio ivabradine to acid between 1:0.001 and 1:0.2. The acid used in the process can be both organic and inorganic acid capable of forming a salt with Compound 3. The examples of the acids are hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulphuric acid, nitric acid, a solution of carbon dioxide in water (i.e.
carbonic acid), preferably hydrochloric acid or a solution of carbon dioxide in water are used.
The molar ratio between ivabradine and the acid is between 1:0.001 and 1:0.2 depending on the type of the acid and the reaction scale. For strong acids (for example hydrochloric acid) the ratio can be between 1:0.001 and 1:0.1, preferably between 1:0.001 and 1:0.06. For weak acids (for example a solution of carbon dioxide in water, i.e. carbonic acid, preferably saturated solution of carbon dioxide in water) the ratio can be between 1:0.1 and 1:0.2.
Using the correct ratio between ivabradine and the acid assures that Compound 3 remains in the water layer after the layers are separated. On the other hand, ivabradine remains in the water immiscible solvent layer after the layers are separated. Depending on the level of Compound 3 in ivabradine the extraction step with a water immiscible solvent solution of ivabradine with the acidic aqueous solution can be optionally repeated. After the extractions are finished, the water immiscible solvent layers are mixed and concentrated, using for example distillation, to the final concentration of ivabradine in the solution between 8% (w/w) and 15% (w/w), preferably between 9% (w/w) and 11% (w/w).
Ivabradine can be optionally isolated from the water immiscible solvent (for example by precipitation or crystallization from the solvent or by distilling off of the solvent) or an ethanolic solution of hydrochloric acid can be added to the solution of ivabradine in the water immiscible solvent and ivabradine hydrochloride is crystallized from the solution.
The ethanolic solution of hydrochloric acid is added at a temperature between 15°C and 30°C, preferably between 19°C and 21°C. The concentration of the ethanolic solution of hydrochloric acid is between 20% (w/w) and 30% (w/w), preferably between 26% (w/w) and 28% (w/w). The molar ratio between ivabradine and hydrochloric acid is between 1: 1 and 1:2, preferably between 1: 1 and 1: 1.2. After the ethanolic solution of hydrochloric acid is added, the mixture is stirred for 1 to 10 hours, preferably for 2 to 4 hours. The mixture can be cooled before ivabradine hydrochloride is isolated. The mixture can be cooled at a temperature between -20 and 20°C.
The crystallized product is isolated from the mixture by using any conventional technique, e.g. filtering, centrifugation or distillation off the solvent.
The process can also be followed by the step of drying the obtained ivabradine hydrochloride at a temperature below 40°C, preferably below 30°C for 2-15 hours, preferably for 4-8 hours, to obtain ivabradine hydrochloride form delta characterized by XRPD pattern comprising, inter alia, peaks at 4.1°, 11.0°, 14.7°, 15.3°, 16.9°, 17.8°, 18.0°, 21.6°, 21.9°, 22.1°, 25.8° theta (+ 0.2) when measured with CuKal radiation ( = 1.54060). The process can be followed by further drying the obtained ivabradine hydrochloride at a temperature between 40°C and 80°C, preferably between 45°C and 55°C, for 2-15 hours, preferably for 4-8 hours, to obtain ivabradine hydrochloride form delta-d characterized by XRPD pattern comprising, inter alia, peaks at 8.5°, 14.5°, 15.2°, 17.1°, 18.1°, 20.9°, 21.4°, 22.1°, 23.9°, 26.3° theta (+ 0.2) when measured with CuKal radiation ( = 1.54060).
Compound 2 or a salt thereof used as starting material in the process of the present invention can be prepared for example by the process as described in EP 534859, but the invention is not limited to such material.
The solid forms of ivabradine hydrochloride produced by the process of the present invention have an excellent batch-to-batch uniformity in the size and shape of the formed crystals and preferably comprises less than 10% of other crystalline forms of ivabradine hydrochloride.
The solid forms of ivabradine hydrochloride obtainable by the described processes may be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions, for instance to tablet compositions for oral administration, and may be used in medicine, for instance in a treatment of angina pectoris.
The invention will be further described with reference to the following non-limiting examples.
