The invention relates to the field of
medicinal chemistry, in particular to a novel
crystal form D of N-(2- amino-4-(4- fluoro benzyl amino) phenyl)
ethyl carbamate (Retigabine) and a preparation method of the novel
crystal form D. The invention provides X-
ray powder diffraction characteristic absorption peaks and DSC (
differential scanning calorimetry) endothermic transition peaks of the novel
crystal form. The novel crystal form D of the Retigabine is characterized in that the crystal has characteristic absorption peaks at angles of (2 theta) 5.18 DEG, 10.60 DEG, 13.22 DEG, 13.98 DEG, 15.70DEG, 18.26 DEG, 20.46 DEG, 21.40 DEG, 22.22 DEG, 22.58 DEG, 23.06 DEG, 24.44 DEG, 24.82 DEG, 27.38 DEG and 28.28 DEG under the X-
ray powder diffraction and the DSC endothermic transition of the novelcrystal form is at a temperature of 60-70 DEG C. The novel crystal form D of the Retigabine is thin in grain size (the average grain size is 20-35 mum and normal distributed), and can be used for medicinal preparation production with no need for physical smashing, therefore, the production link is decreased, the production cost is reduced, the
pollution and the medicinal property changing caused in smash process are avoided and the clinical medication safety is increased.
