Detailed Description of the Invention
Various embodiments and variants of the present invention are described hereinafter.
The term "about," as used herein, refers to any value which lies within the range defined by a number up to ±10% of the value.
The term "ambient temperature," as used herein, refers to a temperature in the range of about 20°C to about 35°C.
The term "scratching," as used herein, refers to the act of getting solid material (for example, seed crystals) out of a reaction mixture by rubbing or crushing the reaction vessel by any means, for example, through glass rod, spatula, etc.
Afatinib can be obtained by following the processes disclosed in U.S. Patent No. RE43,431.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the preparation of the amorphous form of afatinib dimaleate is carried out by reacting afatinib with maleic acid in the presence of one or more solvents and heating the reaction mixture at about 40°C to about 80°C for about 2 hours followed by cooling the reaction mixture to ambient temperature, then scratching the material obtained with a spatula.
The solvent may be selected from the group comprising alcohols, ketones, alkyl acetates, and mixtures thereof. Examples of alcohols include methanol, ethanol, n- propanol, isopropanol, «-butanol, and 2-methyl-l-pentanol. Examples of ketones include acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and i-butyl ketone. Examples of alkyl acetates include ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, and /-butyl acetate. Isolation of the amorphous form of afatinib dimaleate from its reaction mixture is carried out by concentration, precipitation, cooling, filtration, centrifugation, or a combination thereof, followed by drying. Drying can be carried out using any suitable method, such as drying under reduced pressure, air drying, vacuum tray drying or heating.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the isolation of the amorphous form of afatinib dimaleate is carried out by filtration, followed by drying at a temperature of about 40°C to about 55°C.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the amorphous form of afatinib dimaleate can be prepared by subjecting a solution of afatinib dimaleate to spray drying, agitated thin film drying, lyophilization, or concentrating a reaction mixture containing afatinib dimaleate in a solvent under reduced pressure
The amorphous form of afatinib dimaleate of the present invention exhibits an X- ray powder diffraction (XRPD) pattern substantially as depicted in Figure 1.
The amorphous form of afatinib dimaleate is a highly pure, easy to filter, free- flowing solid, and is stable towards polymorphic conversion.
In the foregoing section, embodiments are described by way of an example to illustrate the process of the present invention. However, this is not intended in any way to limit the scope of the present invention. Several variants of the example would be evident to persons ordinarily skilled in the art which are within the scope of the present invention.
Method
X-ray diffraction patterns were recorded using a PANalytical® X'pert PRO with X'celerator® as the detector, 0.02 as step size, and 3-40° 2Θ as range, using CuKa radiation.
Example: Preparation of an amorphous form of afatinib dimaleate
In a round bottom flask, a mixture of afatinib (3 g) and ethyl acetate (30 mL) was heated to about 65°C to obtain a turbid solution. In another round bottom flask, a mixture of maleic acid (1.6 g) and ethyl acetate (30 mL) was heated to about 50°C to obtain a clear solution. The maleic acid solution was added to the afatinib solution, and then the reaction mixture was heated at about 75°C to about 80°C. The reaction mixture was stirred at about 75°C to about 80°C for about 1 hour. The reaction mixture was cooled to about 20°C to obtain a sticky material. The sticky material was scratched with a spatula, and then the reaction mixture was further stirred at about 20°C to about 25°C for about 1 hour. The material obtained was filtered, and then washed with ethyl acetate (20 mL). The solid obtained was dried under vacuum at about 45°C to about 50°C for about 15 hours to obtain the amorphous form of afatinib dimaleate.
Yield: 2.5 g (56%)
