Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry, specifically relating to a crystalline form of decanoic acid haloperidol hydrochloride, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Modifying the crystal form of active pharmaceutical ingredients using crystal engineering techniques to obtain superior crystal forms that are more suitable for production and have better physicochemical properties is a new "shortcut" in drug development. Drug salt formation is one method of drug crystal form modification, which can change the protonated state of the active pharmaceutical ingredient, further altering the drug's physicochemical properties, such as solubility and stability.

[0003] Haloperidol is a typical antipsychotic drug, primarily used to treat acute and chronic schizophrenia, mania, and Tourette syndrome. Haloperidol preparations have been used clinically for many years, with dosage forms including tablets, capsules, injections, and oral solutions. Different dosage forms of haloperidol have their own characteristics and advantages in clinical application. Doctors will comprehensively consider factors such as the patient's specific condition, age, physical condition, and medication adherence to choose the most suitable dosage form for treatment.

[0004] Haloperidol Decanoate is an antipsychotic drug and a long-acting form of haloperidol. The structural formulas of haloperidol and haloperidol Decanoate are shown below:

[0005]

[0006] Haloperidol decanoate injection is indicated for schizophrenia patients requiring long-term parenteral antipsychotic therapy. Haloperidol decanoate injection is marketed in many countries and regions, including Europe, America, and Japan, and has been used safely in clinical practice for over 40 years.

[0007] Currently, haloperidol decanoate is only available in injection form; there are no reports of other dosage forms (such as tablets). The main reason is that haloperidol decanoate has the following drawbacks:

[0008] 1. Low melting point (approximately 42°C): During conventional tableting, it is prone to softening and sticking due to frictional heat or pressure, making it impossible to form complete tablets.

[0009] 2. Thermosensitive degradation: When the processing temperature is close to the melting point, the drug may undergo crystal transformation or decomposition, affecting the uniformity of content.

[0010] 3. Clumping: It tends to clump together, resulting in poor stability of the tablets during storage.

[0011] These defects have limited the development of other dosage forms of haloperidol decanoate (such as oral tablets). Therefore, improvements are needed to overcome the technical problems existing in the current technology.

[0012] Through extensive research, the inventors have made a groundbreaking discovery: converting decanoic acid haloperidol to decanoic acid haloperidol hydrochloride (the structural formula of decanoic acid haloperidol hydrochloride is shown below) significantly increases its melting point to approximately 195°C, and its physicochemical properties are more suitable for tableting processes. Through the synergistic effect of salt form modification and excipient optimization, tablets with high stability can be developed. Simultaneously, two crystalline forms of decanoic acid haloperidol hydrochloride, namely crystalline forms A and B, have been discovered.

[0045] Example 3: Stability Tests of Crystal Forms A and B

[0046] Crystal form A and crystal form B were placed in pharmaceutical low-density polyethylene bags, sealed with an outer composite aluminum bag, and subjected to accelerated stability tests to examine the stability of the crystal forms.

[0047] Experimental method: The samples were placed at a temperature of 40±2℃ and a relative humidity of 75±5% for 6 months. Samples were taken once each in the 0th, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 6th months of the experiment for XRPD detection. The detection results were compared with those in the 0th month. The results are shown in Table 3.

[0048] Table 3. Crystal form detection results of accelerated test samples of crystal form A and crystal form B

[0049]

[0050] The results showed that, through accelerated testing, crystal form A was more stable; crystal form B was unstable and transformed into an amorphous form (its XRPD pattern is shown below). Figure 3 As shown, there are no characteristic peaks.

[0051] Example 4: Solubility investigation of crystal form A, crystal form B and amorphous form

[0052] The solubility of crystal form A, crystal form B and amorphous form was investigated using organic solvents, and the results are shown in Table 4.

[0053] Table 4. Comparison of solubility of decanoic acid haloperidol hydrochloride in crystal form A, crystal form B and amorphous form

[0054]

[0055] Note: "Very soluble" means that 1g of solute dissolves in less than 1ml.

[0056] "Easily soluble" means that 1g of solute dissolves in 1 to less than 10ml.

[0057] Dissolution refers to the dissolution of 1g of solute in 10-30ml.

[0058] Slightly soluble means that 1g of solute dissolves in 30-100ml of water.

[0059] Slightly soluble means that 1g of solute dissolves in 100-1000ml of water.

[0060] Very slight solubility refers to the dissolution of 1g of solute in 1000-less than 10000ml.

[0061] Almost insoluble or insoluble means that 1g of solute cannot be completely dissolved in 10,000ml.

[0062] The results showed that the amorphous powder had better solubility than crystal form A and crystal form B. The solubility of crystal form A and crystal form B was relatively similar.

[0097]

[0098] 2) Preparation method: The prescribed amounts of decanoic acid haloperidol hydrochloride (crystal form B), microcrystalline cellulose, mannitol, anhydrous calcium hydrogen phosphate, and sodium dodecyl sulfate were placed in a three-dimensional mixer and mixed at 10 rpm for 20 minutes.

Results: The dry granulation and tableting processes were successful, resulting in stable tablet weight and hardness, and smooth, intact tablet surfaces.

[0099] As shown in Examples 5, 8, and 11, when using haloperidol decanoate as a raw material to prepare tablets, tableting is prone to sticking or softening during compression, resulting in unstable tablet hardness. Sticking is even more pronounced during dry granulation. As shown in Examples 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, and 13, when using haloperidol decanoate hydrochloride (crystal form A and crystal form B) prepared by the method of this invention as a raw material to prepare tablets, both dry granulation and tableting processes are smooth, with no sticking, and the compressed tablets have a smooth and intact surface.

[0102] Experimental method: The samples were placed at a temperature of 40±2℃ and a relative humidity of 75±5% for 6 months. Samples were taken once each in the 0th, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 6th months of the experiment. The content and total impurities were determined by high performance liquid chromatography.

However, after 6 months of accelerated processing, the content of the samples prepared from decanoic acid haloperidol hydrochloride crystal form B (Examples 7, 10, and 13) decreased significantly, and the total impurities increased significantly, indicating that the tablets prepared using decanoic acid haloperidol hydrochloride crystal form B are of unstable quality.

6. The method according to claim 3, wherein the molar ratio of decanoic acid haloperidol to hydrochloric acid is (1:1.1)-(1:1.5).

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the molar ratio of decanoic acid haloperidol to hydrochloric acid is 1:1.

3.

8. The method of claim 3, wherein the reaction is carried out at room temperature.

9. A pharmaceutical composition comprising crystal form A of claim 1 and pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.

10. The use of crystal form A of claim 1 or 2 in the manufacture of antipsychotic drugs.
