Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of [S(−)amlodipine-L(+)-hemi taratarte] from RS amlodipine base using L(+) tartaric acid in the presence of dimethyl sulfoxide.

Description

    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of [S(−)amlodipine-L(+)-hemi taratarte] from RS amlodipine base using L(+) tartaric acid in the presence of dimethyl sulfoxide. [0001]
  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Amlodipine and its salts are long acting calcium channel blockers and are useful for the treatment of cardiovascular disorders. Racemic Amlodipine is currently being used as its besylate in the treatment of hypertension and angina. The preparation of racemic compound is described in European patent 0089167. Amlodipine is racemic compound and has chiral center at 4 position of the dihydropyridine ring. [0002]
  • It has also been reported that the R(+) isomer is a potent inhibitor of smooth muscle cell migration (PCT/EP-94/02697). The S(−) isomer is having calcium channel blocker activity while the R(+) isomers has little or no calcium channel blocking activity. [0003]
  • Prior art for the preparation of R and S enantiomers of amlodipine are a) resolution of amlodipine azide ester with optically active 2-methoxy-2-phenylethanol (J. Med. Chem., 29, 1696, 1986. J. E. Arrowsmith, S. F. Campbell, P. E. Cross, J. K. Stabs, R. A., Burges and EP Appl. 0331315A) or b) resolution of Amlodipine base with optically active camphanic acid [J. Med. Chem., 35, 3341, 1992, S. Goldman., J. Stoltefuss and L. Born) or c) resolution of RS.-amlodipine base to R(+) and S(−) isomer with L or D tartaric acid respectively in organic solvent DMSO {Peter L., Spargo U.S. Pat. No. 6,046,338; (2000), PCT 95/25722 (1995)] which indicate the use of both tartaric acids is essential. [0004]
  • THE DISADVANTAGES
  • The main disadvantages of the prior art are: [0005]
  • 1. The use of unnatural tartaric acid for the separation of S(−)amlodipine [0006]
  • 2. The use of costlier camphanic acid or 2-methoxy-2-phenylethanol as a resolving agents. [0007]
  • OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
  • The main object of the invention is to develop a technology for the preparation of S(−)amlodipine from racemic amlodipine using naturally occurring L-tataric acid. [0008]
  • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • Accordingly, the invention provides a new and efficient process for the preparation of [S(−)amlodipine-L(+)hemi tartarte] in good yield with high enantiomeric purity by reacting RS amlodipine base with L(+) tartaric acid in an organic solvent at a temperature ranging from 20-35° C. for a period ranging from 16 to 24 hours, separating by filtration solid [R(+)amlodipine-L(+)-hemi taratarte], seeding the filtrate to obtain solid [S(−) amlodipin-L(+)-hemi taratarte], filtering and recrystallising the solid, basifying to obtain S(−) amlodipine. [0009]
  • In one embodiment of the present invention the organic solvent used for the reaction is dimethyl sulfoxide. [0010]
  • In another embodiment of the present invention 0.5 mole of L(+) tartaric acid is used for the reaction. [0011]
  • In another embodiment the solvent used for crystallization is selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol and butanol. [0012]
  • In another embodiment of the invention basification is done using metal hydroxides, carbonates or aq. Ammonia. [0013]
  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • The unique feature of the invention is preferential crystallization of enantiomer salt with respect to quantity of DMSO and time. The process of resolution of RS amlodipine using L(+) tartaric acid is shown in the scheme below: [0014]
