Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of chemical medicine, and particularly relates to a preparation method of dabigatran etexilate mesylate crystal form I. Background Art

[0002] Dabigatran etexilate mesylate is a direct thrombin inhibitor developed by Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH and applied clinically, and is a novel oral anticoagulant. The mechanism of action of dabigatran etexilate mesylate is to reversibly and strongly competitively bind to the fibrin-specific binding site of thrombin, so that the formation of fibrin is blocked, thereby inhibiting the formation of thrombus.

[0003] Dabigatran etexilate mesylate is a prodrug of dabigatran, which is metabolized in vivo to be converted into active dabigatran. Compared with warfarin, dabigatran etexilate mesylate does not need to frequently monitor the coagulation function and adjust the dosage during the treatment process, has few drug interactions, and is not affected by eating, thereby improving the medication compliance of patients.

[0004] The chemical name of dabigatran etexilate mesylate is ethyl 3-[[[2-[[[4-[[[(hexyloxy)carbonyl]amino]iminomethyl]phenyl]amino]methyl]-1-methyl-1H-benzimidazol-5-yl]carbonyl](pyridin-2-yl)amino]propionate mesylate, and its structural formula is shown as follows:

[0005] Research reports show that dabigatran etexilate mesylate has two crystal forms, namely crystal form I and crystal form II, wherein the melting point of crystal form I is 180±3°C, and the melting point of crystal form II is 190±3°C. Since the melting point of crystal form I is lower than that of crystal form II, crystal form I is a metastable crystal form and crystal form II is a stable crystal form. According to the traditional preparation method of dabigatran etexilate mesylate crystal form I, it is very easy to have mixed crystals of crystal form II, and it is difficult to stably obtain a relatively pure crystal form I sample, and it is difficult to achieve stable and controllable quality, thereby affecting its drug stability and physical and chemical properties, and may lead to differences in the bioavailability of the final drug, affecting the medication safety of patients.

[0006] A traditional technology discloses a preparation method of dabigatran etexilate mesylate, which adopts the method of fractional crystallization in different solvents. Although crystal form I can be prepared, this method is relatively cumbersome and is not conducive to large-scale production.

[0007] Another traditional technology discloses a preparation method of dabigatran etexilate mesylate, which inhibits the conversion of crystal form I to crystal form II by dissolving dabigatran etexilate in acetone and then adding ethyl acetate for crystallization. However, it requires a longer crystallization time during the crystallization process of industrial scale-up production, and there is still a possibility of converting to crystal form II, and this process has certain risks. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Based on this, the present invention provides a method for preparing dabigatran etexilate mesylate crystal form I, which can effectively inhibit the transformation of dabigatran etexilate mesylate crystal form I into crystal form II, and has a short process, simple operation and short crystallization time required.

[0009] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions.

[0010] A method for preparing dabigatran etexilate mesylate crystal form I includes the following steps: Mix dabigatran etexilate with a first solvent at a first temperature, then filter, take the filtrate to prepare a first solution; Mix methanesulfonic acid with a second solvent to prepare a second solution; Mix the first solution and the second solution at a second temperature to crystallize, then filter, wash, and take the filter cake to dry; Wherein, the first solvent includes acetone; the second solvent includes a mixed solution of acetone and ethyl acetate.

[0011] In one embodiment, the mass-volume ratio of dabigatran etexilate to the first solvent is 1 g:(5 mL to 20 mL).

[0012] In one embodiment, the first temperature is selected from 30°C to 50°C.

[0013] In one embodiment, the first temperature is selected from 30°C to 40°C.

[0014] In one embodiment, the mass-volume ratio of dabigatran etexilate to the second solvent is 1 g:(5 mL to 30 mL).

[0015] In one embodiment, the second temperature is selected from -5°C to 15°C.

[0016] In one embodiment, the second temperature is selected from 0°C to 5°C.

[0017] In one embodiment, in the second solvent, the volume ratio of acetone to ethyl acetate is 1:(0.5 to 1.3).

[0018] In one embodiment, in the second solvent, the volume ratio of acetone to ethyl acetate is 1:(0.9 to 1.1).

[0019] In one embodiment, the way of mixing the first solution and the second solution is to drop the first solution into the second solution.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the method for preparing dabigatran etexilate mesylate crystal form I of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: In the present invention, dabigatran etexilate is first dissolved in acetone, and methanesulfonic acid is dissolved in a mixed solution of acetone and ethyl acetate. Then, the two are mixed, which can effectively inhibit the transformation of crystal form I to crystal form II. Finally, the obtained crystal form I of dabigatran etexilate mesylate has a high yield and high purity.

[0021] Furthermore, the preparation method of the present invention has short process steps, is easy to operate, and requires a short crystallization time, and can realize industrial scale-up production. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Attached Figure 1 is the structural formula of crystal form I of dabigatran etexilate mesylate. EMBODIMENTS

[0022] For ease of understanding the present invention, the present invention will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the relevant embodiments. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are given in the examples. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided so that the understanding of the disclosure of the present invention is more thorough and comprehensive.

[0023] Unless otherwise specified, the following terms and phrases used herein are intended to have the following meanings. A particular term or phrase should not be considered indeterminate or unclear without a special definition, but should be understood in its ordinary meaning. When a trade name appears herein, it is intended to refer to the corresponding commodity or its active ingredient.

[0024] The solvents used in the present invention are commercially available.

[0025] "Crystal form" or "crystalline form" refers to a solid having a highly regular chemical structure, including but not limited to, single-component or multi-component crystals, and / or polymorphs, solvates, hydrates, clathrates, co-crystals, salts, solvates of salts, hydrates of salts of a compound. The crystalline form of a substance can be obtained by many methods known in the art. Such methods include but are not limited to, melt crystallization, melt cooling, solvent crystallization, crystallization in a confined space, such as in nanopores or capillaries, crystallization on a surface or template, such as on a polymer, crystallization in the presence of an additive such as a co-crystallization countermolecule, desolvation, dehydration, rapid evaporation, rapid cooling, slow cooling, vapor diffusion, sublimation, reaction crystallization, anti-solvent addition, grinding, and solvent-drop grinding, etc.

[0026] "Solvent" refers to a substance (typically a liquid) that can completely or partially dissolve another substance (typically a solid). Solvents used in the implementation of the present invention include, but are not limited to, water, acetic acid, acetone, acetonitrile, benzene, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, dichloromethane, dimethyl sulfoxide, 1,4-dioxane, ethanol, ethyl acetate, butanol, tert-butanol, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, formamide, formic acid, heptane, hexane, isopropanol, methanol, methyl ethyl ketone, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, mesitylene, nitromethane, polyethylene glycol, propanol, 2-propanone, pyridine, tetrahydrofuran, toluene, xylene, their mixtures, and so on.

[0027] Crystal forms or amorphous forms can be identified by a variety of technical means, such as X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), infrared absorption spectroscopy (IR), melting point method, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), nuclear magnetic resonance method, Raman spectroscopy, single crystal X-ray diffraction, solution calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), quantitative analysis, solubility, and dissolution rate, etc.

[0028] X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) can detect information such as changes in crystal form, crystallinity, and crystal structure state, and is a commonly used means for identifying crystal forms. The peak positions in the XRPD pattern mainly depend on the crystal form structure and are relatively insensitive to experimental details, while the relative peak heights depend on many factors related to sample preparation and instrument geometry. The measurement of 2θ in the XRPD pattern can have experimental errors, and there may be slight differences in the measurement of 2θ in the XRPD patterns between different instruments and different samples. Therefore, the numerical values of the 2θ cannot be regarded as absolute.

[0029] Solids with the same chemical composition often form polymorphs or variants with different crystal structures under different thermodynamic conditions, and this phenomenon is called polymorphism or polyphasic phenomenon. When the temperature and pressure conditions change, mutual transformation occurs between the variants, and this phenomenon is called crystal form transformation. The crystal form or amorphous form of the compounds of the present invention can undergo crystal form transformation under appropriate conditions.

[0030] In the context of the present invention, the 2θ values in the X-ray powder diffraction pattern are all in degrees (°).

[0033] In the context of the present invention, when the words "about" or "approximately" are used or whether they are used or not, it means within 10% of a given value or range, suitably within 5%, especially within 1%. Alternatively, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, the term "about" or "approximately" means within the acceptable standard error range of the average value. Whenever a number with a value of N is disclosed, any number within the value of N + / - 1%, N + / - 2%, N + / - 3%, N + / - 5%, N + / - 7%, N + / - 8% or N + / - 10% will be explicitly disclosed, where "+ / -" means plus or minus.

However, in the same or other cases, other embodiments may also be preferred. In addition, the description of one or more preferred embodiments does not imply that other embodiments are not available, nor is it intended to exclude other embodiments from the scope of the present invention.

Unless otherwise specified, all masses of the listed ingredients are given for the content of the active substance, and thus they do not include solvents or by-products that may be contained in commercially available materials. The term "mass percentage content" herein can be represented by the symbol "%". Unless otherwise specified, all molecular weights herein are weight-average molecular weights expressed in daltons.

[0038] In this text, "including", "comprising", "containing", "having" or other variants are intended to cover non-closed inclusion, and no distinction is made among these terms. The term "comprising" means that other steps and components can be added without affecting the final result.
