Effects of the Invention

[0008] The present invention provides a novel crystalline form of fosravuconazole L-lysine salt, an organic solvent-free dihydrate, and a method for producing the same. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Figure 4] Nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of the fosravuconazole L-lysine ethanol adduct obtained in Comparative Example 1. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0010] According to one embodiment, an organic solvent-free dihydrate of fosravuconazole L-lysine salt is provided. The organic solvent-free dihydrate of fosravuconazole L-lysine salt is a type of crystalline form of fosravuconazole L-lysine salt, and is a crystal that contains almost no organic solvent molecules. The organic solvent-free dihydrate of fosravuconazole L-lysine salt is useful as a treatment for onychomycosis, similar to fosravuconazole L-lysine ethanol adduct.

[0011] As mentioned above, a known crystalline form of fosravuconazole L-lysine salt is the fosravuconazole L-lysine ethanol adduct, which is obtained by adding or solvating one molecule of ethanol to fosravuconazole L-lysine salt. Because this fosravuconazole L-lysine ethanol adduct contains ethanol, the ethanol volatilizes at room temperature, which can change its crystalline form. In contrast, the organic solvent-free dihydrogen fosravuconazole L-lysine salt contains almost no organic solvents, so its crystalline form is less prone to change, and it has excellent storage stability.

[0012] The following describes the details of the organic solvent-free dihydrate of fosravuconazole L-lysine salt.

[0013] <Fosravuconazole L-lysine salt in an organic solvent-free form> The organic solvent-free dihydrate of fosravuconazole L-lysine salt can be a solid crystal at room temperature.

[0014] The organic solvent-free fosravuconazole L-lysine salt hydrate may also be a hydrate of fosravuconazole L-lysine salt, or it may be a crystal consisting only of fosravuconazole L-lysine salt and free from crystal water and crystal solvent.

[0015] The organic solvent-free dihydrate of fosravuconazole L-lysine salt may inevitably contain residual organic solvents. Examples of such organic solvents include at least one compound selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, n-propanol, acetone, and acetonitrile. Preferably, the organic solvent is at least one selected from the group consisting of ethanol and acetone.

[0016] In the organic solvent-free dihydrate of fosravuconazole L-lysine salt, the amount of organic solvent per mole of fosravuconazole is, for example, 0.4 moles or less, preferably 0.2 moles or less, and more preferably 0.1 moles or less. There is no particular lower limit for the amount of organic solvent, but in one example it is 0.01 moles or more, and in another example it is 0.001 moles or more.

[0017] In the organic solvent-free dihydrate of fosravuconazole L-lysine salt, the content of organic solvents determined by gas chromatography is, for example, 0.50% by mass or less. The organic solvent content is preferably 0.10% by mass or less, more preferably 0.050% by mass or less, and even more preferably 0.020% by mass or less. There is no particular lower limit for the organic solvent content, but according to one example, it is below the detection limit of the measuring device, and according to another example, it is 0.010% by mass or more.

[0018] The powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of the non-solvated form of voriconazole L-lysine salt has peaks within the range of diffraction angles represented by 2θ of, for example, 7.5° or more and 7.9° or less, 8.0° or more and 8.4° or less, 16.4° or more and 16.8° or less, 19.8° or more and 20.2° or less, and 23.9° or more and 24.2° or less.

[0019] The proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of the non-solvated form of voriconazole L-lysine salt has peaks within the range of, for example, 8.8 or more and 9.1 ppm or less (s, 1H), 7.7 or more and 8.0 ppm or less (m, 6H), 7.1 or more and 7.4 ppm or less (m, 1H), 6.9 or more and 7.1 ppm or less (m, 1H), 6.8 or more and 7.0 ppm or less (m, 1H), 5.1 or more and 5.4 ppm or less (m, 4H), 3.9 or more and 4.0 ppm or less (q, 1H), 3.7 or more and 3.8 ppm or less (t, 1H), 3.0 or more and 3.1 ppm or less (t, 2H), 1.8 or more and 2.0 ppm or less (m, 2H), 1.7 or more and 1.8 ppm or less (m, 2H), 1.4 or more and 1.6 ppm or less (m, 2H), and 1.3 or more and 1.4 ppm or less (d, 2H).

[0020] <Method for producing non-solvated form of voriconazole L-lysine salt> The non-solvated form of voriconazole L-lysine salt according to the embodiment can be obtained, for example, by dissolving voriconazole and L-lysine in water and an organic solvent to obtain a first mixture within the range of pH 5.0 or more and pH 5.7 or less, and precipitating crystals of the non-solvated form of voriconazole L-lysine salt from the first mixture.

[0021] In other words, by using water and an organic solvent as solvents to dissolve fosravuconazole and L-lysine, and controlling the pH of the resulting solution within the range of pH 5.0 to pH 5.7, crystals of the organic solvent-free fosravuconazole L-lysine salt can be precipitated. If the pH of the first mixture falls outside this range, crystals of the organic solvent-free fosravuconazole L-lysine salt cannot be obtained, and the solution may become the organic solvent-based fosravuconazole L-lysine salt. Furthermore, if water is not present and only an organic solvent is used, crystals of the organic solvent-free fosravuconazole L-lysine salt cannot be obtained, and the solution may become the organic solvent-based fosravuconazole L-lysine salt. The pH of the first mixture can be measured, for example, with a pH meter.

[0022] Fosravuconazole can be manufactured by known methods.

[0023] L-lysine is, for example, in solid form. Alternatively, an aqueous solution of L-lysine, obtained by dissolving L-lysine in water, may be used. The L-lysine concentration in the aqueous solution is, for example, 10% by mass or more and 50% by mass or less.

[0024] The amount of L-lysine relative to 1 mole of fosravuconazole is, for example, 0.5 moles or more and 3.0 moles, preferably 1.0 mole or more and 1.5 moles or less.

[0025] The amount of water per 1 g of fosravuconazole is, for example, 0.1 mL to 10 mL. Preferably, the amount of water is 0.5 mL to 5 mL, and more preferably 0.7 mL to 3 mL.

[0026] The amount of organic solvent per 1 g of fosravuconazole is, for example, 1 mL to 50 mL. Preferably, the amount of organic solvent is 10 mL to 30 mL, and more preferably 15 mL to 25 mL.

[0027] The ratio V1 / V2 of the volume of the organic solvent V1 to the volume of water V2 is, for example, 5.7 to 49. The ratio V1 / V2 is preferably 10 to 30, and more preferably 15 to 25.

[0028] Examples of organic solvents include at least one compound selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, n-propanol, acetone, and acetonitrile. Preferably, the organic solvent is at least one selected from the group consisting of ethanol and acetone.

[0029] The contact temperature between fosravuconazole and L-lysine and water and organic solvent when preparing the first mixture is, for example, -10°C to 80°C, and preferably 0°C to 50°C.

[0030] An acid may be used as a pH adjuster for the first mixture. For example, at least one acid selected from the group consisting of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, formic acid, and acetic acid may be used.

[0031] When preparing the first mixture, fosravuconazole and L-lysine may be mixed first, then water, an organic solvent, and optionally a pH adjuster may be added; or fosravuconazole may be mixed with water, an organic solvent, and optionally a pH adjuster, and then L-lysine may be added.

[0032] The precipitation temperature when precipitating the organic solvent-free dihydrate of fosravuconazole L-lysine salt from the first mixture is, for example, -10°C to 80°C, and preferably 0°C to 50°C.

[0033] Furthermore, adding seed crystals to the first mixture may promote the precipitation of the organic solvent-free dihydrate of fosravuconazole L-lysine salt.

[0034] The organic solvent-free dihydrate of fosravuconazole L-lysine salt precipitated by the above method may be separated, for example, by filtration, and then washed and dried. [Examples]

[0035] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to examples, but the present invention can be controlled by these examples. It is not limited.

[0036] Furthermore, the powder X-ray diffraction measurements obtained in the examples and comparative examples, 1 The measurements using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and the residual solvent were performed using the following method.
