Abstract

Paroxetine ascorbate is useful in the treatment of certain CNS disorders.

Description

PAROXETINE ASCORBATE
The present invention relates to a novel compound, to processes for preparing it and to its use in treating medical disorders.
Pharmaceutical products with antidepressant and anti-Parkinson properties are described in US-A-3912743 and US-A-4007196. An especially important compound among those disclosed is paroxetine, the (-)traps isomer of 4-(4'-fluorophenyl)-3-(3',4'-methylenedioxy-phenoxymethyl)-piperidine. This compound is used in therapy as the hydrochloride salt for the treatment and prophylaxis of inter alia depression, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and panic.
We have now surprisingly discovered a novel salt of paroxetine which may be used as an alternative to the currently marketed hydrochloride, or as an intermediate in the preparation of the hydrochloride.
According to the present invention there is provided paroxetine ascorbate.
In one aspect the novel salt of this invention is provided in non-crystalline form, which may a solid or an oil. The oil is preferably absorbed on a solid carrier, especially a carrier that is usable as a component of a pharmaceutical composition In another aspect the novel salt of this invention is provided in crystalline form. When the crystalline form exists as more than one polymorph, each polymorph forms another aspect of this invention.
Paroxetine ascorbate may be prepared by contacting stoichiometric amounts of ascorbic acid and paroxetine free base. Preferably either the acid or base is in solution, more preferably both are in solution. filevated temperature may be used to bring the acid into solution, but good yields of the salt are obtained by evaporation of some or all of the solvent or by controlled cooling, preferably in stages. Most commonly used solvents are suitable for mobilizing paroxetine free base, for example toluene, alcohols such as WO 99/55698 PC'T/G899/01244 methanol, ethanol, propan-2-ol, esters such as ethyl acetate. ketones such as acetone and butanone, halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane, and ethers such as tetrahydrofuran and diethyl ether, but solvents in which ascorbic acid is very insoluble are preferably avoided. Suitable solvents for ascorbic acid include water and lower alcohols.
The salt may be isolated in solid form by conventional means from a solution thereof obtained as above. For example, the non-crystalline salt may be prepared by precipitation, spray drying, and freeze drying of solutions, or vacuum drying of oils, or solidification of melts obtained from reaction of the free base and the acid. The crystalline salt may be prepared by crystallization or recrystallization from appropriate solvents.
When the salt is obtained as a solvate, by association with the solvent in which it is dissolved, such solvate forms a further aspect of this invention. Solvates may be returned to the unsolvated salt by heating, for example by oven-drying, or by treatment with a displacement solvent which does not form a solvate.
Prior to the isolation of the paroxedne salt, water may be removed by azeotropic distillation to avoid the formation of hydrates or to obtain the product in anhydrous form.
In that case, suitable solvents for the solution of the salt are those which form an azeotrope with water such as toluene and propan-2-ol. It should also be appreciated that mixtures of solvents can also be used to aid the azeotropic removal of water.
More generally, crystallization may be carried out from any solvent which allows formation of the desired crystal structure, using seeds of the desired structure where necessary or desirable. When polymorphs exist, individual polymorphs are preferably crystallized directly from a solution of the salt, although recrystallizing a solution of one polymorph using seeds of another polymorph may also be carned out.
Paroxetine free base may be prepared according to the procedures generally outlined in US
Patent No 4,007,196 and EP-B-0 223403. Ascorbic acid is commercially available.
The compounds of this invention may be used to treat and prevent the following disorders:
Alcoholism Anxiety Depression Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Panic Disorder Chronic Pain Obesity Senile Dementia Migraine Bulimia Anorexia Social Phobia Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (PMS) Adolescent Depression Trichotillomania Dysthymia Substance Abuse These disorders are herein after referred to as "the Disorders".
The present invention further provides a method for treating and/or preventing any one or more of the Disorders by administering an effective and/or prophylactic amount of a salt of the invention to a sufferer in need thereof.
The present invention further provides a pharmaceutical composition for use in the treatment and/or prevention of the Disorders which comprises an admixture of a salt of the invention with a pharmaceutically acceptable Garner.
The present invention also provides the use of a salt of the invention for treating and/or preventing the Disorders.
The present invention also provides the use of a salt of the invention in the manufacture of a medicament for treating and/or preventing the Disorders.
Most suitably the present invention is applied to the treatment of depression, OCD and panic.
The compositions of this invention are usually adapted for oral administration, but formulations for dissolution for parental administration are also within the scope of this invention.
WO 99/55698 PCTlGB99/01144 The composition is usually presented as a unit dose composition containing from 1 to 200mg of active ingredient calculated on a free base basis, more usually from 5 to 100mg, for example 10 to SOmg such as 10, 12.5, 15, 20, 25, 30 or 40mg by a human patient. Most preferably unit doses contain 20mg of active ingredient calculated on a free base basis.
Such a composition is normally taken from 1 to 6 times daily, for example 2, 3 or 4 times daily so that the total amount of active agent administered is within the range 5 to 400rng of active ingredient calculated on a free base basis. Most preferably the unit dose is taken once a day.
Preferred unit dosage forms include tablets or capsules.
The compositions of this invention may be formulated by conventional methods of admixture such as blending, filling and compressing.
Suitable carriers for use in this invention include a diluent, a binder, a disintegrant, a colouring agent, a flavouring agent and/or preservative. These agents may be utilized in conventional manner, for example in a manner similar to that already used for marketed anti-depressant agents.
Specific examples of pharmaceutical compositions include those described EP-B-223403, and US 4,007,196 in which the products of the present invention may be used as the active ingredients.
The following Examples illustrate the present invention:
Example 1: Preparation of paroxetine ascorbate A 1.28 mol solution of paroxetine base in toluene (5 mI, 6.38 mmol) was added to a solution of ascorbic acid (1.128, 6.38 mmol) in methanol (15 ml). The solvent was removed in vacuo, the residual oil was diluted with toluene (15 ml) and the solvent removed in vacuo. Trituration with diethyl ether (c. 15 ml) and filtration under nitrogen gave a pale yellow solid which was washed with diethyl ether (2 x 10 ml), dried in a vacuum desiccator for 3 hours.
Yield 2.998.
