Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a new crystalline form V of agomelatine or N- [2- (7-methoxy-1-naphthyl) ethyl ] acetamide of formula (I):
a process for its preparation and pharmaceutical compositions containing it.
Background
Agomelatine, or N- [2- (7-methoxy-1-naphthyl) ethyl ] acetamide, has valuable pharmacological properties.
It does have a dual profile, on the one hand, it is an agonist of receptors of the melatoninergic system and, on the other hand, it is 5-HT2CAn antagonist of the receptor. These properties make it active in the central nervous system, more particularly in the treatment of major depression (severe depression), seasonal affective disorder, sleep disorders, cardiovascular disease, digestive system disease, insomnia and fatigue due to jet lag, appetite disorders and obesity.
Agomelatine, its preparation and its therapeutic use are described in european patent specification EP 0447285.
In view of the pharmaceutical value of the compound, it is important to obtain the compound in good purity, in a well-defined crystalline form and with excellent reproducibility, as a result of which valuable properties are exhibited in terms of dissolution and formulation and which are sufficiently stable that it can be stored for a long time without specific requirements on temperature, light, humidity or oxygen level.
Patent specification EP 0447285 describes the eight-step preparation of agomelatine starting from 7-methoxy-1-tetralone. However, the document does not specify the conditions for obtaining agomelatine exhibiting these characteristics in a reproducible manner.
Disclosure of Invention
The applicant has now developed a new synthetic process which makes it possible to obtain agomelatine in a well-defined, highly reproducible crystalline form which exhibits, inter alia, valuable characteristics in terms of dissolution and formulation.
More specifically, the present invention relates to crystalline form V of the compound of formula (I) characterized by the following powder X-ray diffraction diagram, measured using a siemens D5005 diffractometer (copper on cathode), expressed as interplanar spacing D, bragg 2 θ angle, intensity and relative intensity (expressed as a percentage of the most intense rays):
the invention also relates to a process for the preparation of the crystalline form V of the compound of formula (I), characterized in that agomelatine is subjected to so-called "high-energy" mechanical milling. In the crystallization process of the present invention, it is possible to use the compound of formula (I) obtained by any method.
The invention also relates to another process for the preparation of the crystalline form V of the compound of formula (I), characterized in that agomelatine is heated until complete melting, then immediately placed at room temperature and simultaneously added in small amounts of the newly prepared crystalline form V of the compound of formula (I), and the mixture is cooled until crystallization is complete. Preferably, in the second crystallization process of the present invention, agomelatine melts at 110 ℃. The amount of form V added in the second process of the invention is preferably between 1/100 and 1/50 by weight of agomelatine. In the second crystallization process of the present invention, it is possible to use the compound of formula (I) obtained by any method.
The advantage of obtaining such a crystalline form is that it allows the preparation of pharmaceutical formulations having a consistent and reproducible composition, as a result of which valuable properties are exhibited in terms of dissolution, which is particularly beneficial when the formulation is intended for oral administration.
Pharmacological studies of the crystalline form V thus obtained have demonstrated its important activity in the central nervous system and in the microcirculation, which has led to the establishment of crystalline form V of agomelatine useful in the treatment of the following disorders: stress, sleep disorders, anxiety, major depression, seasonal affective disorders, cardiovascular disease, digestive system disease, insomnia and fatigue due to jet lag, schizophrenia, panic attacks, melancholia, appetite disorders, obesity, insomnia, pain, psychotic disorders, epilepsy, diabetes, parkinson's disease, senile dementia, various disorders associated with normal or pathological aging, migraine, memory loss, alzheimer's disease and cerebral circulation disorders. In another field of activity, it is indicated that crystalline form V of agomelatine is useful in the treatment of sexual dysfunction, has ovulation-inhibiting and immunomodulating properties and is useful in the treatment of cancer.
Crystalline form V of agomelatine is preferably used for the treatment of major depressive disorder, seasonal affective disorder, sleep disorders, cardiovascular disease, insomnia and fatigue due to jet lag, appetite disorders and obesity.
The invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising crystalline form V of agomelatine as active ingredient, together with one or more suitable inert non-toxic excipients. Among the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention, mention may be made more particularly of those suitable for oral, parenteral (intravenous or subcutaneous) or nasal administration, such as tablets or dragees, granules, sublingual tablets, gelatin capsules, lozenges, suppositories, creams, ointments, dermal gels, injectable preparations, drinkable suspensions and disintegratable pastes.
Useful dosages are adjusted according to the nature and severity of the disorder, the route of administration, and the age and weight of the patient. The dose varies between 0.1mg and 1g per day, administered one or more times.
Detailed Description
The following examples illustrate the invention but do not limit it in any way.
Example 1: crystalline form V of N- [2- (7-methoxy-1-naphthyl) ethyl ] acetamide
100g N- [2- (7-methoxy-1-naphthyl) ethyl ] acetamide was ground in a mechanical grinding mill of the variable speed high energy planetary mill type for about 6 hours, and the resulting solid was characterized by the following powder X-ray diffraction pattern, measured using a Siemens D5005 diffractometer (copper on cathode) and expressed as interplanar spacing D, Bragg 2 theta angle, intensity and relative intensity (expressed as a percentage of the most intense ray):
example 2: crystalline form V of N- [2- (7-methoxy-1-naphthyl) ethyl ] acetamide
4g N- [2- (7-methoxy-1-naphthyl) ethyl ] acetamide was placed in a vented incubator at 110 ℃. After 1 hour at 110 ℃ the product is immediately left at room temperature and 0.05g of the structurally pure crystalline form V of N- [2- (7-methoxy-1-naphthyl) ethyl ] acetamide obtained by high-energy mechanical milling are used. After 5 minutes, the crystallization was complete and the solid obtained was characterized by the following powder X-ray diffraction diagram, measured using a siemens D5005 diffractometer (copper vs. cathode) and expressed in interplanar spacing D, bragg 2 θ angle, intensity and relative intensity (expressed as a percentage of the strongest rays):
