In October 1978, the FDA approved the marketing of the 25 mg tablet of doxylamine succinate of CHATTEM company to help relieve difficulty in falling asleep, and it became an OTC (over-the-counter drug) in 1979. On April 8, 2013, the FDA approved doxylamine succinate and pyridoxine hydrochloride (trade name Diclegis) as an oral sustained-release tablet for the treatment of pregnant women with nausea and vomiting who do not respond well to conservative treatment.

[0003] Polymorphism of drugs is a hot field in drug research. Different crystal forms of drugs have great differences in stability, bioavailability, etc. Therefore, a comprehensive study on drug polymorphism should be carried out as much as possible to ensure obtaining the best crystal form, so as to make the drug have higher stability, bioavailability, etc. The crystal forms of doxylamine succinate mainly include crystal form A (CN105218433A) and crystal form S (CN106674089A). The former is a crystal form of one molecule of succinate of doxylamine, and the latter is a crystal form of 3 / 2 molecules of succinate of doxylamine. Summary of the Invention

[0015]

[0016] Including: at room temperature, dissolve doxylamine (Compound 2, chemical name: N,N-dimethyl-2-[1-phenyl-1-(2-pyridyl)ethoxy]ethylamine) in an organic solvent to obtain a doxylamine solution, and cool it to 0 ± 5 °C; dissolve succinic acid in water or a water-containing solvent to obtain a succinic acid solution; at a temperature of 0 ± 5 °C, slowly add the succinic acid solution dropwise to the doxylamine solution.

[0019] Preferably, the organic solvent is selected from acetone or a mixed solvent of acetone and a solvent selected from tetrahydrofuran, isopropanol, and ethyl acetate with a volume ratio of 1:0.5 to 1:2.

[0020] The mass-volume ratio of the doxylamine to the organic solvent is 1:1 to 1:20 g / mL, preferably 1:2 to 1:8 g / mL, and more preferably 1:3 to 1:6 g / mL.

[0021] The water-containing solvent is a mixed solution prepared by mixing water and a solvent selected from methanol, ethanol, or isopropanol in a volume ratio of 0.5:1 to 2:1.

[0022] Preferably, the water-containing solvent is a mixed solution prepared by mixing water and a solvent selected from methanol, ethanol, or isopropanol in a volume ratio of 1:1. The mass-volume ratio of the succinic acid to the water or water-containing solvent used to dissolve it is 1:0.5 to 1:10 g / mL, preferably 1:0.5 to 1:6 g / mL, and more preferably 1:0.9 to 1:1.1 / mL.

[0023] The reaction temperature is -10 to 30 °C, preferably 0 ± 5 °C; the reaction time is 1 to 12 h, preferably 6 to 8 h.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0060] Example 5

[0061] A comparative study on the solubility of doxylamine succinate polymorph J (Example 1) and the original polymorph of doxylamine succinate (polymorph A, hereinafter the same) was carried out with reference to the method under Item 15 (2) of the General Notices - Items and Requirements - Part II of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2020 Edition).

[0062] Test method: Weigh the powdered test substance or measure the liquid test substance, and place it in a certain volume of solvent at 25 °C ± 2 °C. Vigorously shake it for 30 seconds every 5 minutes; observe the dissolution situation within 30 minutes. If there are no visible solute particles or droplets, it is considered completely dissolved.

[0063] Investigate the solubility of this product in deionized water and absolute ethanol respectively. The specific operation is as follows: Weigh the powdered doxylamine succinate polymorph J or the original polymorph of doxylamine succinate, add it to a certain volume of solvent, and vigorously shake it for 30 seconds every 5 minutes at 25 °C ± 2 °C; observe the dissolution situation of doxylamine succinate polymorph J and the original polymorph of doxylamine succinate within 30 minutes.

[0064] Record the total amount of deionized water, ethanol used and the time respectively. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0065] Table 2. Results of the comparative study on the solubility of doxylamine succinate polymorph J and the original polymorph of doxylamine succinate

[0066]

[0067] Note: mL / g represents the amount of deionized water or ethanol used per g of doxylamine succinate polymorph J or the original polymorph.

[0068] As can be seen from Table 2, doxylamine succinate polymorph J and the original polymorph of doxylamine succinate are both extremely soluble in deionized water and soluble in ethanol; moreover, the solubility of doxylamine succinate polymorph J is significantly higher than that of the original polymorph.

[0070] Investigation on the stability of doxylamine succinate polymorph J and the original polymorph of doxylamine succinate of the present invention

[0071] Stability

[0072] The stability of doxylamine succinate polymorph J was detected in accordance with the "Guidelines for Stability Testing of Raw Materials and Preparations" in Part IV of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 Edition.

[0073] High temperature test: Spread doxylamine succinate polymorph J and the original polymorph of doxylamine succinate flat in petri dishes, place them in an oven, and place them at 60 °C for 10 days. Sampling was carried out on the 5th and 10th days for X-ray powder diffraction and related substance detection to investigate the stability of the polymorph.

[0074] High humidity test: Spread doxylamine succinate polymorph J and the original polymorph of doxylamine succinate flat in petri dishes, place them in a thermostatic and humidity-controlled incubator, and place them at 25 °C under conditions of relative humidity of 90% and 75% for 10 days. Sampling was carried out on the 5th and 10th days for X-ray powder diffraction and related substance detection to investigate the stability of the polymorph.

[0075] Strong light irradiation test: Spread doxylamine succinate polymorph J and the original polymorph of doxylamine succinate flat in petri dishes, place them in a strong light irradiation test chamber, and place them under the condition of illuminance of 4500 lx ± 500 lx for 10 days. Sampling was carried out on the 5th and 10th days for X-ray powder diffraction and related substance detection to investigate the stability of the polymorph. The results of the stability investigation are shown in Table 3.

[0076] Table 3. Results of the stability investigation of doxylamine succinate polymorph J and the original polymorph of doxylamine succinate

[0077]

[0078] Note: *: The ignore limit is 0.01%.

[0079] As can be seen from Table 3, the original crystal form of doxylamine succinate has good stability under light, but poor stability under high temperature and high humidity. Under high temperature and high humidity conditions, the impurities in the product increase significantly. After the original crystal form of doxylamine succinate is treated at high temperature for 5 days, it is relatively stable, but after 10 days of high temperature treatment, the maximum single impurity increases to 0.42%, and the purity decreases by 2.18%; it is relatively stable after 5 days of high humidity treatment, and after 10 days of high humidity treatment, the maximum single impurity increases to 5.65%, and the purity decreases by 5.96%. The powder diffraction (XRD) test shows that there is no change in both crystal forms (see Figure 8 and Figure 9 ), but when all samples are tested for related substances, the results show that: compared with doxylamine succinate, the crystal form J of doxylamine succinate has better stability. Under the accelerated stability test, the impurities basically do not increase significantly, and the purity does not decrease significantly, indicating that the crystal form J of doxylamine succinate significantly improves the stability of doxylamine succinate.

[0080] The experimental results show that high temperature, high humidity, and strong light have no effect on the stability of the crystal form J of doxylamine succinate.

[0081] Hygroscopicity

[0082] Refer to the "Guideline for the Hygroscopicity Test of Drugs" in General Principles of Part IV of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 Edition to determine the hygroscopicity of the crystal form J of doxylamine succinate. The specific test method is as follows: Take a dry stoppered glass weighing bottle (outer diameter 50 mm, height 15 mm), place it in a suitable constant temperature dryer (with ammonium chloride or ammonium sulfate saturated solution placed at the bottom) at 25°C ± 1°C or an artificial climate chamber (set temperature 25°C ± 1°C, relative humidity 80% ± 2%) one day before the test, and accurately weigh the weight (m1). Take about 1 g of this product and spread it evenly in the above-mentioned weighing bottle. The thickness of the test sample is generally about 1 mm, and accurately weigh the weight (m2). Open the weighing bottle and place it together with the bottle cap under the above-mentioned constant temperature and humidity conditions for 24 hours. Cover the weighing bottle cap and accurately weigh the weight (m3).

[0083] Calculate the weight gain percentage according to the following formula.

[0084]

[0085] According to the description of hygroscopicity characteristics and the definition of hygroscopic weight gain, the hygroscopicity results of doxylamine succinate and crystal form J are obtained. The results are shown in Table 4. The weight gain percentage of the crystal form J of doxylamine succinate is 1.8%, but it is significantly lower than that of the original crystal form of doxylamine succinate.

[0086] Table 4. Results of the hygroscopicity investigation of the crystal form J of doxylamine succinate and the original crystal form of doxylamine succinate

[0087] Name Weight gain percentage Hygroscopicity Doxylamine succinate original crystal form 14.6% Hygroscopic Doxylamine succinate crystal form J 1.8% Slightly hygroscopic

[0088] In summary, the doxylamine succinate polymorph J of the present invention can improve the solubility, stability of doxylamine succinate, and improve its hygroscopicity, which is more conducive to the formulation and use of the product, and improves the safety of the product.

[0089] The above embodiments only have an exemplary effect on the present invention and do not have any restrictive effect. Any non-substantive modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
