Abstract
The present invention provides a process for obtaining highly pure crystalline form of oseltamivir free base, thus, for example, suspending or dissolving impure or non-crystalline oseltamivir free base in a hydrocarbon solvent and then isolating crystals to obtain oseltamivir free base in well defined crystalline form. The present invention also provides a process for preparation of oseltamivir phosphate in high purity.
Description
- The present invention provides a process for obtaining highly pure crystalline form of oseltamivir free base. The present invention also provides a process for preparation of oseltamivir phosphate in high purity.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,763,483, which is herein incorporated by reference, disclosed carbocyclic compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Among them Oseltamivir, chemically Ethyl (3R,4R,5S)-4-(acetylamino)-5-amino-3-(1-ethylpropoxy)-1-cyclohexene-1-carboxylate is a orally active inhibitor of influenza virus neuraminidase. Oseltamivir is represented by the following structure:
- Various processes for preparation of oseltamivir and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts were disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,763,483, J. Org. Chem., Vol. 63, No. 13, 1998 (page: 4545-4550), J. Amer. Chem. Soc., Vol. 115, No. 4, 1997 (Page: 681-690), U.S. Pat. No. 5,952,375, PCT Publication No. WO 98/07685 and PCT Publication No. WO 99/44185.
- PCT Publication No. WO 98/07685 described in example 11 that crystalline oseltamivir free base is obtained by concentrating reaction mass containing oseltamivir free base to obtain oseltamivir free base as a foam, which is solidified on standing. It has been found that the process described in WO 98/07685 does not produce the well-defined crystalline form of oseltamivir free in a consistently reproducible manner.
- Oseltamivir free base obtained by these processes are not satisfactory from purity point of view and there is a need for a process for obtaining consistently reproducible pure crystalline oseltamivir free base.
- One object of the present invention is to provide a process for preparation of highly pure crystalline oseltamivir free base that can be used to obtain pharmaceutically acceptable salts of oseltamivir in high purity.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a process for preparation of oseltamivir phosphate in high purity.
- According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a process for isolation of pure crystalline oseltamivir free base, the said process comprises suspending or dissolving impure or non-crystalline oseltamivir free base in a hydrocarbon solvent and then isolating crystals to obtain oseltamivir free base in well defined crystalline form.

FIG. 1 is a x-ray powder diffraction spectrum of crystalline oseltamivir free base obtained in example 1. - x-Ray powder diffraction spectrum was measured on a Bruker axs D8 advance x-ray powder diffractometer having a Copper-Kα radiation. Approximately 500 mg of sample was gently flattened on a sample holder and scanned from 2 to 50 degrees two-theta, at 0.03 degrees two-theta per step and a step time of 0.5 seconds. The sample was simply placed on the sample holder. The sample was rotated at 30 rpm at a
voltage 40 KV and current 35 mA. - The invention will now be further described by the following non-limiting examples.
- Oseltamivir phosphate (20 gm, HPLC purity: 97%) is stirred with water (100 ml) and methylene chloride (100 ml) for 10 minutes at 25-30° C. and then pH of the mass is adjusted to 9-10 with liquor ammonia. Separated the layers, the organic layer is subjected to carbon treatment and filtered on hiflo bed. Washed the hiflo bed with methylene chloride (20 ml) and then distilled the organic layer under vacuum at 40° C. to give 16.5 gm of oseltamivir free base as a residue.
- To the residue obtained in step-(a) is added n-heptane (100 ml) and stirred for 1 hour at 25-30° C. Filtered the solid and dried to give 13 gm of pure oseltamivir free base (HPLC Purity: 99.2%, Melting Range: 102.5-103.9° C.).
- The residue (5 gm, obtained as per the process described in step-(a) of example 1) is dissolved in toluene (10 ml), n-heptane (70 ml) is slowly added to the solution for 30 minutes to 1 hour at 20-30° C. and then stirred for 2 hours at 20-30° C. Filtered the solid, washed with n-heptane (20 ml) and dried to yield pure oseltamivir free base (HPLC Purity: 99.3%).
- Tartaric acid (5 gm) is added to the solution of oseltamivir free base (9 gm, HPLC purity: 95.8%) in ethyl acetate (50 ml) at 25-30° C., the contents are heated to 50° C. and then slowly cooled to 30° C. in 1 hour. Filtered the solid, washed with 70 ml of ethyl acetate and dried to yield 13 gm of oseltamivir tartrate (H PLC purity: 97.2%).
- Oseltamivir tartrate (13 gm, obtained in example 3) is added to acetone (150 ml) at 25-30° C., the solution of H3PO4 (3.5 gm) in 40 ml of ethanol is added to the contents and then stirred for 1
hour 30 minutes at 25-30° C. Filtered the solid, washed with 30 ml of acetone and dried to yield 6.5 gm of oseltamivir phosphate (HPLC purity: 99.8%).
