The present invention also relates to a process for the preparation of novel polymoφhic / pseudopolymorphic Forms of arginine salt of 3-[4-[2-(phenoxazin-10- yl)ethoxy]phenyl]-2-ethoxypropanoic acid, having the formula (I).
The polymoφhic Forms of arginine salt of 3-[4-[2-(phenoxazin-10-yl)ethoxy]phenyl]- 2-ethoxypropanoic acid, of formula (I) defined above of the present invention are useful for the treatment and / or prophylaxis of hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, hyperglycemia, osteoporosis, obesity, glucose intolerance, insulin resistance and also diseases or conditions in which insulin resistance is the underlying pathophysiological mechanism. Examples of these diseases and conditions are type II diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance, dyslipidaemia, hypertension, coronary heart disease and other cardiovascular disorders including atherosclerosis. The polymoφhic Forms of arginine salt of 3-[4-[2-(phenoxazin-10-yl)ethoxy]phenyl]-2-ethoxypropanoic acid, of formula (I) are also useful for the treatment of insulin resistance associated with obesity and psoriasis. The polymoφhics Forms of arginine salt of 3-[4-[2-(phenoxazin-10- yl)ethoxy]phenyl]-2-ethoxypropanoic acid, of formula (I) can also be used to treat diabetic complications and can be used for treatment and / or prophylaxis of other diseases and conditions such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), certain renal diseases including diabetic nephropathy, glomerulonephritis, glomerular sclerosis, nephrotic syndrome, hypertensive nephrosclerosis, end-stage renal diseases and microalbuminuria as well as certain eating disorders, as aldose reductase inhibitors and for improving cognitive functions in dementia.
Previously, the oral diabetic medicines consisting of sulphonyl urea were believed to be effective in bringing down the sugar level in blood (Hypoglycemic) but they lacked efficiency in preventing/reducing diabetes related complications like cataract, nervous break down, retinopathia etc. (which are usually the chronic ailments accompanied by diabetes). Aldose reductase is the enzyme which reduces aldose present in the humans and animals into corresponding polyols which, in turn, are stored or accumulated in the kidneys, peripheral nerves, eye lens of the diabetic patients and manifest themselves in the above mentioned complications.
The latest trend that has, of late, crept into the pharmaceutical industry is the studies on polymoφhism in drugs and the difference in the activity of different polymoφhic forms of a given drug. By the term polymoφhism we mean to include different physical forms, crystal forms, crystalline / liquid crystalline / non-crystalline (amoφhous) forms. This has especially become very interesting after observing that many antibiotics, antibacterials, tranquilizers etc., exhibit polymoφhism and some/one of the polymoφhic forms of given drug exhibit superior bio-availability and consequently show much higher activity compared to other polymoφhs. Sertraline, Frentizole, Ranitidine, Sulfathiazole, Indomethacine etc. are some of the important examples of pharmaceuticals which exhibit polymoφhism. Polymoφhism in drugs is a topic of current interest and is evident from the host of patents being granted. To cite a few, US 5700820 discloses six polymoφhic forms of Troglitazone, US 5248699 discusses about five polymoφhic forms of Sertraline hydrochloride while EP 014590 describes four polymoφhic forms of Frentizole. EP 490648 and EP 022527 also deal with the subject of polymoφhism in drugs.
Summary of the invention
In our copending application number 2416/MAS/97 we have described novel β-aryl α- oxy substituted alkylcarboxylic acids of the general formula (a),
Figure imgf000005_0001
their pharmaceutically salts, their pharmaceutically solvated and their pharmaceutically acceptable compositions containing them. The pharmaceutical salts of the compounds of the general formula (a) includes salts of the organic bases such as guanine, arginine, guanidine, diethylamine, choline, and the like. Particularly the compounds disclosed include 3-[4-[2-(phenoxazin-10-yl)ethoxy]phenyl]-2-ethoxypropanoic acid. The current interest in the field of polymoφhism in drugs prompted us to take up the investigation as to the possibility of polymoφhism in such compounds particularly the arginine salt of 3- [4-[2-(phenoxazin-10-yl)ethoxy]phenyl]-2-ethoxypropanoic acid. Our observations and results form the subject matter of the present invention.
We have, due to our sustained research directed towards finding out effective antidiabetic drugs, observed that arginine salt of 3-[4-[2-(phenoxazin-10- yl)ethoxy]phenyl]-2-ethoxypropanoic acid, exists in different polymoφhic forms possessing enhanced anti-diabetic activity. Accordingly we have, in the course of research, prepared and studied at least eleven polymoφhic forms of arginine salt of 3-[4- [2-(phenoxazin-10-yl)ethoxy]phenyl]-2-ethoxypropanoic acid. These polymoφhs have been designated, by us, as Forms I, II, III, IN, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X and the mixture. Detailed Description of the Invention
Our present invention relates to an observation that arginine salt of 3-[4-[2-(phenoxazin- 10-yl)ethoxy]phenyl]-2-ethoxypropanoic acid exhibits polymoφhism, which has not been reported till date. The polymoφhic Forms I, II, III, IN and N are obtained from different solvents like isopropyl alcohol, acetone, 1,4-dioxane, dimethylsulphoxide, and dimethylformarnide respectively. Form NI is obtained by dissolving any form (Form I-
V) in water and freeze drying. Similarly Form VII is obtained by dissolving any form (Form I-V) in methanol and quick evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure at
40-60 °C. Form VIII is obtained by refluxing Form-I in 1,4-dioxane. Form-IX is obtained by refluxing Form- VIII in isopropyl alcohol. Form X is prepared by heating
Form I to 185 °C and cooling it to room temperature. Form XI is prepared by heating
Form X to 175 °C and cooling it to room temperature.
From powder X-ray diffraction studies Forms I, II, III, IV, N, NIII, IX and XI are found to be crystalline in nature. Forms VI, VII and X did not give any peaks in X- ray diffraction due to amoφhous nature.
DSC of the polymoφhic Form I shows melting endotherm at 181 °C. In the mixture of polymoφhic Forms I and X there is an indication to one of the endotherm at 185 °C and 181 °C. Form II displays endotherms at 131 °C, 166 °C, 178 °C, 214 °C and 276 °C and exotherms at 169 °C. Form III exhibits melting endotherm 182 °C in addition to an exotherm at 168 °C. Form IV exhibits endotherms at 149 °C, 164 °C and 185 °C and an exotherm at 171 °C. Form V exhibits endotherms at 119 °C, 164 °C, 172 °C and 185 °C in addition to a melting exotherm at 173 °C. Form VI exhibits exotherm at 157 °C and endotherms at 179 °C and 183 °C. Form VII exhibits exotherm at 132 °C and endotherms at 176 °C and 184 °C. Form VIII there was a similar exotherm of Form VI at 158 °C and the melting endotherm at 178 °C, whereas in Form IX there was only one shaφ melting endotherm at 176 °C. Form X displays an exotherm at 163 °C and melting endotherm at 184 °C. Form XI exhibits a melting endotherm at 184 °C. All these polymoφhic forms were proved to be identical in solution as evident from Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Ultra Violet (UV) & Mass spectral data. On the other hand, solid state techniques like Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Powder X-Ray Diffractometry (XRD) and Infra Red spectroscopy (IR) revealed the difference among these forms.

The pharmaceutical composition may be in the forms normally employed, such as tablets, capsules, powders, syrups, solutions, suspensions and the like, may contain flavourants, sweeteners etc. in suitable solid or liquid carriers or diluents, or in suitable sterile media to form injectable solutions or suspensions. Such compositions typically contain from 1 to 20 %, preferably 1 to 10 % by weight of active compound, the remainder of the composition being pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents or solvents.
The compound of the formula (I) as defined above are clinically administered to mammals, including man, via either oral or parenteral routes. Administration by the oral route is preferred, being more convenient and avoiding the possible pain and irritation of injection. However, in circumstances where the patient cannot swallow the medication, or absoφtion following oral administration is impaired, as by disease or other abnormality, it is essential that the drug be administered parenterally. By either route, the dosage is in the range of about 0.01 to about 100 mg / kg body weight of the subject per day or preferably about 0.01 to about 30 mg / kg body weight per day administered singly or as a divided dose. However, the optimum dosage for the individual subject being treated will be determined by the person responsible for treatment, generally smaller doses being administered initially and thereafter increments made to determine the most suitable dosage.
Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include solid fillers or diluents and sterile aqueous or organic solutions. The active compound will be present in such pharmaceutical compositions in the amounts sufficient to provide the desired dosage in the range as described above. Thus, for oral administration, the compounds can be combined ' with a suitable solid or liquid carrier or diluent to form capsules, tablets, powders, syrups, solutions, suspensions and the like. The pharmaceutical compositions, may, if desired, contain additional components such as flavourants, sweeteners, excipients and the like. For parenteral administration, the compounds can be combined with sterile aqueous or organic media to form injectable solutions or suspensions. For example, solutions in sesame or peanut oil, aqueous propylene glycol and the like can be used, as well as aqueous solutions of water-soluble pharmaceutically-acceptable acid addition salts or salts with base of the compounds. The injectable solutions prepared in this manner can then be administered intravenously, intraperitoneally, subcutaneously, or intramuscularly, with intramuscular administration being preferred in humans.
