Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to a process for the preparation of substantially pure acitretin.
- 3,7-dimethyl-2,4,6,8-nonatetraenoic acid can be represented by the structure of Formula I.
- Acitretin an aromatic analogue of retinoic acid
- retinol vitamin A
- the tetraene side chain in acitretin exists in all-trans (or E) configuration.
- Acitretin is indicated for the treatment of severe psoriasis in adults and is marketed under the trade name Soriatane ® . See, e.g., The Merck Index, Thirteenth Edition, 2001, p. 110, monograph 114; and Physician's Desk Reference, "Soriatane,” 60th Edition, pp. 1028-1035 (2005).
- U.S. Patent No. 4,105,681 discloses processes for the preparation of acitretin.
- Each of the processes in the '681 patent employ a Wittig reaction or its modification such as a Wittig-Horner procedure and provides a mixture of stereoisomers.
- Attempts at preparing acitretin of the desired purity by following the processes taught in Examples 1-3 of the '681 patent were unsuccessful. See, e.g., U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2004/0192949.
- a similar Wittig process has been illustrated in Example 6 of DE 2636879 which provided only 47% of the all trans-isomer along with 51% of the 11-cis isomer, as an impurity.
- U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2004/0192949 further discloses the purification of acitretin by contacting crude acitretin with one or more solvent, optionally in the presence of a free radical scavenger, and isolating substantially pure acitretin from a mixture thereof.
- a drawback associated with this process is it is commercially not suitable because of the instability of acitretin in most of the solvents.
- a lithium salt of acitretin is provided.
- the process of the present invention overcomes the problems associated with the prior art and provides a practical process for the preparation of substantially pure acitretin from a complex mixture of cis-trans isomers involving solvent treatment.
- the process of the present invention also advantageously avoids the tedious and cumbersome purification process pf column chromatography and has benefits with respect to economics and convenience to operate on a commercial scale.
- the present invention is directed to a process for the preparation of substantially pure acitretin of Formula I.
- the process of the present invention includes at least (a) contacting a salt of crude acitretin with one or more solvents; and (b) isolating substantially pure acitretin from the product of step (a).
- a salt of crude acitretin is contacted with one or more solvents to provide a substantially pure salt of acitretin.
- Useful salts of acitretin include, but are not limited to, sodium, lithium, magnesium, potassium, strontium, magnesium, barium, calcium and the like.
- the term "crude acitretin” as used herein shall be understood to mean acitretin containing a mixture of various cis-trans isomers as impurities. Crude acitretin is well known and may be obtained by any of the synthetic routes described in the prior art.
- Suitable solvents for use in step (a) include, but are not limited to, ketones, alcohols, cyclic ethers, aliphatic ethers, nitriles, esters, water, alkanes, and the like and mixtures thereof.
- Useful ketones include, but are not limited to, acetone, methyl isobutyl ketone, and the like and mixtures thereof.
- Useful alcohols include, but are not limited to, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, and the like and mixtures thereof.
- Useful cyclic ethers include, but are not limited to, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, and the like and mixtures thereof.
- Useful nitriles include, but are not limited to, acetonitrile and the like and mixtures thereof.
- Useful esters include, but are not limited to, ethyl acetate, and the like and mixtures thereof.
- Useful alkanes include, but are not limited to, n-hexane, heptane and the like and mixtures thereof.
- substantially pure salt of crude acitretin can precipitate out of the solution and then optionally recovered by, for example, filtration.
- substantially pure salt of acitretin shall be understood to mean a salt of acitretin having an assay of greater than or equal to about 98% as determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
- the product substantially pure acitretin can be isolated from the substantially pure salt of acitretin by, for example, acidifying, cooling, filtering, or a combination thereof.
- substantially pure acitretin shall be understood to mean acitretin having an assay of greater than or equal to about 98% as determined by HPLC and preferably greater than or equal to about 99%.
- Step I Process for Salt Preparation and Purification.
- Step II Process for Isolation of Acitretin
- step I The substantially pure sodium salt of acitretin obtained in step I was added in water (80 ml) and acidified with 30% HCl and stirred for 30 minutes at 25 to 3O 0 C to obtain a suspension. The suspension was then filtered, washed with water and dried at 25- 3O 0 C to obtain substantially pure acitretin (7 g, assay 99.45% as determined by HPLC).
