The invention relates to a preparation method of an
ivabradine hydrochloride crystal form variant
DELTA-D, which comprises the following steps: 1) dissolving
ivabradine hydrochloride in C2-C4 ketones; 2) heating the material obtained in the step 1) to 30-45 DEG C, and stirring to react for 6-50 hours; and 3) in a
nitrogen atmosphere, filtering the
reaction system obtained in the step 2), and
drying the obtained
solid at 40-85 DEG C to a dry state, wherein the
water content in the reaction material in the step 1) is 0.1-1%. The control on the
water content in the reaction material is used instead of the control on the
relative humidity in the reaction process in the prior art, so that the method is convenient to control, does not need any special adjusting facility, and is convenient for implementing industrialization. The C2-C4 ketones are used as the
solvent, thereby avoiding the toxic
solvent residues in the
crystal form. The
reaction temperature is controlled at 25-45 DEG C, the reaction time is controlled at 6-50 hours, and the
drying is performed to further enhance the purity of the
crystal form. The
DELTA-D crystal form prepared by the method has favorable storage stability.
