Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of drug crystallization, and in particular to a crystal form of itraconazole and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Itraconazole, chemical formula C 35 H 38 Cl2N8O4, chemical name is 4-[4-[4-(4-[[cis-2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl]methoxy]phenyl]piperazin-1-yl]phenyl]-2-[(1RS)-1-methylpropyl]-2,4-dihydroxy-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one, the structural formula is shown in the following formula (a):
[0003]
[0004] It is a triazole-type highly effective broad-spectrum antifungal drug that can bind to fungal cytochrome P450 isoenzymes and inhibit ergosterol synthesis. It is effective against infections such as dermatophytes, Candida, Cryptococcus neoformans, Pityrosporum, Aspergillus, Histoplasma, Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, Sporothrix schenckii, Chromatiaceae, Cladosporium, and Blastomyces dermatitidis.
[0005] PEETERS et al. (Acta Cryst. (1996). C52, 2225-2229) reported the single crystal structure of itraconazole form I in 1996, and then US2003 / 0100568A1 reported the structure of form II. ZHANG et al. (US20170319553A1) obtained two metastable forms II and III of itraconazole from melt crystallization, among which form III is unstable and will transform into form II and form I.
[0006] At present, itraconazole API in crystalline form is generally used to produce solid preparations such as itraconazole tablets, capsules, granules, and powder for injection. However, the fluidity of existing itraconazole crystal forms I, II, and III is not ideal. As is well known, the physical and chemical properties of different crystal forms of the same drug may vary greatly in terms of solubility, stability, fluidity, compressibility, bioavailability, etc., thus affecting the efficacy of the drug. The fluidity of pharmaceutical powders is an important factor that must be considered in the preparation of solid preparations. It not only affects the normal production process, but also affects the quality of the preparation products: powders with good fluidity can flow smoothly from the feed hopper to the tableting equipment, which is conducive to maintaining uniform tablet weight and drug content; powders with poor fluidity are often difficult to mix evenly with the various ingredients and affect the accurate content of the drug, causing differences in loading / weight during the molding or filling of tablets, capsules, etc.; during the storage and transportation of drugs, preparations made of materials with poor fluidity are easily affected by factors such as ambient temperature, ambient humidity, and mechanical force, which reduce the stability and effectiveness of the drug. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new crystalline form of itraconazole with better fluidity, which is beneficial to formulation processing and clinical application. Summary of the invention
