FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention is directed to novel crystalline naphthalene-1,5-disulfonic acid salts (napadisylates) of 5-(2-{[6-(2,2-difluoro-2-phenylethoxy)hexyl]amino}-1-hydroxyethyl)-8-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one, its enantiomers and solvates thereof. The invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the crystalline salts, methods of using them to treat respiratory diseases associated with ฮฒ2 adrenergic receptor activity, and processes and intermediates useful for preparing such salts.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] ฮฒ2 adrenergic receptor agonists are advantageously administered directly into the respiratory tract by inhalation when used for treating pulmonary or respiratory disorders. Several types of pharmaceutical inhalation devices have been developed for administering therapeutic agents by inhalation including dry powder inhalers (DPI), metered-dose inhalers (MDI) and nebulizer inhalers. It is highly desirable to have a crystalline ...
