The invention relates to a preparation method of a small-particle-size
febuxostat crystal form C, and belongs to the field of
medicine and
pharmacy. The method comprises the following steps: dissolving
febuxostat in a low-molecular
alcohol or
ketone solvent, dissolving, filtering, adding
purified water into the obtained filtrate, controlling the feeding speed in the feeding process, cooling the
system to 5 DEG C at a
constant speed, growing grains for a certain time, finally filtering, leaching a
filter cake with
purified water, and
drying for 5 hours. And the
crystal form C product with ideal
granularity is directly obtained through
crystallization control, so that the use of crushing equipment is avoided, and the cost is reduced. The process is stable, strong in
controllability, good in batch stability, low in cost and suitable for industrial production, and the yield can reach 90-95%. Meanwhile, the
crystal form obtained by the process is complete, the
particle size distribution curve is in normal distribution, and the crystal is easy to disperse and can be directly used for preparation products.
