FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The present invention generally relates to a process for the preparation of an antifungal agent posaconazole and to a novel crystalline polymorphic form V of antifungal agent posaconazole
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] Posaconazole is a novel broad-spectrum antifungal agent of the triazole class that has been developed for the treatment of invasive fungal infections. Posaconazole is designated chemically as (-)(2R-cis)-4-[4-[4-[4[[-5-(2,4- difluorophenyl)tetrahydro-5-(lH-l ,2,4-triazol-l -ylmethyl)furan-3-yr|methoxy]phenyl |-l - piperaziny]]phenyl]-2,4-dihydro-2-[fS)- l -ethyl-2(S)-hydroxypropyl]-3H-l ?2.4-triazol-3- one, whic is represented by the following general formula (I)
[0004] Posaconazole is available as an oral suspension under the trademark
Noxafil®, from Schering Corporation.
[0005] International patent publication WO95/17407 (the '407 publication) discloses several substituted tetrahydrofuran antifungal compounds including
posaconazole and their use in treating fungal infections. The publication discloses several processes for preparation of posaconazole.
[0006] According to one process, posaconazole is prepared by condensation of toluene-4-sulfonic acid (-)-(5R-cis)-5-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-5-(l ,2,4-triazol-l - ylmethyl)tetrahydr -3-furan methyl ester of formula (IV a)
IVa
with N-protected triazolone derivative of following formula
wherein SEM is 2-(trimethyl)silylethoxymethyl group
in the und of follow
which is then deprotected using hydrochloric acid in methanol followed by N-alkylation with brosylated alcohol of the formula
wherein R represents hydroxyl protecting group (R is 2-(trimethyl)silylethoxymethyl (SEM) or benzyloxymethyl)
in the presence of a strong base in an aprotic solvent to give hydroxyl protected posaconazole which is then deprotected using hydrochloric acid in methanol to give posaconazole of formula I, which is purified by column chromatography.
The '407 publication discloses a process for preparing posaconazole by reacting (3R-cis)-N-4-[4-[4-[[5-(2,4-diflurophenyl)tetrahydro-5-(l H-l !24-triazol-l -yl)methyl)- furan-3yl]methoxy]phenyl]-l -piperazinyl]phenyl]carbamic acid phenyl ester with 2 -[3- (2S,3S)-2-(benzyloxy)pentyl]formic acid hydrazide in the presence of 1 ,8- diazabicyclo(5,4,0)undec-7-ene under heating to give benzyl posaconazole of formula (Ila)
Ila
which on hydrogenolysis with palladium on carbon and formic acid in methanol, affords posaconazole, which is then further purified via preparative thin layer chromatography. The methods disclosed in the '407 publication lead to the compound of formula I as an amorphous solid.
[0007] United States Patent No. 5625064 (the '064 patent) discloses a process for the preparation of posaconazole, compound of formula (I) comprising the condensation of formula III,
III
with ( -(5R-cis)-5-(2.4-difluorophenyl )5-[( l H- 1 .2,4-triazol- l -yl)methyl]tetrahydiO-3- furanmethyl ester derivative of following formula (IV),
IV
wherein OB represents a suitable leaving group selected from p-chlorobenzenesulfonyl, p-toluenesulfonyl, methanesulfonyl; in the presence of a base to give benzyl posaconazole, compound of formula Ila which is then deprotected either with palladium on carbon in the presence of formic acid or aqueous hydrobromic acid to form posaconazole, compound of formula I .
|0008| International patent publication number WO2009/141 837 discloses a process for the preparation of posaconazole, compound of formula I by deprotecting the benzyl posaconazole, compound of formula Ila,
Ila
using a mineral acid in the presence of a noble metal catalyst in an organic solvent under hydrogen pressure.
[0009] United States Patent No. 6,713,481 discloses three polymorphic forms of posaconazole designated as forms I, II and III. X-ray powder diffractograms are used to describe the three polymorphic forms, where of the three crystalline forms, Form I is the most stable. Crystalline forms II and III were found to be unstable under the conditions investigated.
[0010] International patent publication WO2010/000668 discloses crystalline
Form IV of posaconazole. X-ray powder diffractogram with the characteristic peaks are likewise used to describe Form IV.
[0011 ] International patent publication WO2009/147075 discloses crystalline Form Y of posaconazole. Herein, the X-ray powder diffractogram is also used to describe Form Y.
[0012] The major drawback of the processes disclosed above is that the deprotection of benzyl posaconazole in the presence of formic acid may not go to completion or may require lengthy reaction times, of about 1 to 3 days, even in the ' presence of a large (>50 wt%) amount of Pd/C. These reaction conditions may lead to the generation of several impurities and require chromatographic purification steps. Similarly, the deprotection of benzyl posaconazole with a mineral acid like hydrochloric acid or hydrobromic acid may result in the degradation of posaconazole, which may necessitate laborious, and additional, purification methods to purify posaconazole, subsequently contributing to loss of yield and purity.
[0013] The aforementioned challenges, such as the long reaction times for the deprotection of the benzyl ether, the excess use of Pd/C, and the ensuing chromatographic purifications for the removal of impurities formed in the deprotection reaction are undesirable for a large-scale synthesis of posaconazole. To overcome the above difficulties, the present invention provides an efficient and industrially advantageous process for the synthesis of posaconazole.
[0014] There also remains a need for alternative stable polymorphic forms of posaconazole which have properties that make them suitable for bulk preparation and handling as well as for preparing of pharmaceutical compositions on a commercial scale.

[00104] In one embodiment, the present invention provides a process for the preparation of crystalline polymorphic Form V of posaconazole, comprising, a) providing a solution of posaconazole in one or more solvents capable of dissolving the posaconazole and b) substantially removing the solvent from the solution to provide crystalline polymorphic Form V of posaconazole.
[00105] In step a) of the process directly described, a solution is formed containing at least posaconazole and a solvent capable of dissolving the posaconazole. The posaconazole used as a starting material in the process can be, for example, hydrates, solvates, polymorphic forms and the like. Suitable solvents capable of dissolving posaconazole for use herein include, but are not limited to, alcoholic solvents having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, e.g., methanol, ethanol, propanol, and the like, haloalkanes solvents such as dichloromethane, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, dichloroethane and the like or their mixtures. Preferably, the solvent is dichloromethane. The dissolution can be carried out at a temperature ranging from about 25°C to about 100°C and
preferably at a temperature ranging from about 45°C to about 75°C. If required the solution of posaconazole in the solvent is filtered so that it is particle free. In step b) of the process directly described, the solvent is substantially removed to provide crystalline polymorphic Form V of posaconazole. The solvent may be removed substantially by evaporation of the solvent. Evaporation may be achieved by techniques known in the art, e.g., by completely evaporating the solution in a rotavapor using a rotational evaporator device such as a Buchi Rotavapor, by flash evaporation techniques by using an agitated thin-film dryer, or by spray drying.
[00106] Evaporation of the solvent may be conducted under a vacuum, at about 550 mm Hg to about 760 mm Hg, at elevated temperatures such as about 50°C to about 75°C. The temperature and vacuum conditions should not lend to a deleterious increase in the impurity levels of the product. The concentration, solvent type, temperature, vacuums, and feeding rate are set at conditions where the posaconazole coming from the inlet precipitates virtually instantly.
[00107] Preferably the substantial removal of the solvent can be carried out by rapid evaporation technique by completely evaporating the solution in a rotavapor which is preheated in the temperature range of about 40°C to about 80°C and under vacuum about 700 mm Hg. This process includes loading a solution containing posaconazole and the solvent capable of dissolving posaconazole into a rotavapor which is preheated in the temperature range of about 40°C to about 75°C drop wise, portion -wise or continuously and concentrating the solution under vacuum. The speed of the addition of the solution is about 10ml per minute.
[00108] In one preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a process comprising a) dissolving posaconazole in haloalkane and b) pouring the solution portion wise in a preheated Buchi flask which is under vacuum in the range of about 700 mmHg to about 750 mmHg and wherein the temperature is in the range of about 50°C to about 75 °C; c) evaporating the solution almost instantaneously to give the desired crystalline form V of posaconazole; and d) adding the next portion in the flask and repeating the process.
[00109] Preferably dichloromethane is used for dissolving posaconazole. After complete addition of all the portions of the solution of posaconazole, the Buchi flask is
maintained under vacuum in the range of about 650 mmHg to about 750 mmHg and at a temperature in the range of about 50°C to about 75 °C; for a period of about 1 hour to 2 hours and the crystalline form V'of posaconazole is isolated.
[00110] If desired, crystalline polymorphic Form V of posaconazole obtained by the above processes may be, optionally, further dried. Suitably, drying can be carried out in a tray dryer, vacuum oven, air oven, fluidized bed drier, spin flash dryer, flash dryer and the like. The drying can be carried out at a temperature ranging from about 30°C to about 70°C. The drying can be carried out for any desired time until the required product purity is achieved, e.g., a time period ranging from about 1 hour to about 50 hours, preferably about 20 hours.
[00111] In yet another aspect, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising crystalline polymorphic Form V of posaconazole and at least a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
[00112] Such pharmaceutical compositions may be administered to a mammalian patient in any dosage form, e.g., liquid, powder, elixir, injectable solution, etc. Dosage forms may be adapted for administration to the patient by oral, buccal, parenteral, ophthalmic, rectal and transdermal routes. Oral dosage forms include, but are not limited to, tablets, pills, capsules, troches, sachets, suspensions, powders, lozenges, elixirs and the like.
