FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to solid crystalline forms of (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride compounds, methods of producing these compounds, and related treatments, including use as analgesics as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The treatment of pain conditions is of great importance in medicine. There is currently a world-wide need for additional pain therapy. The pressing requirement for a target-oriented treatment of pain conditions which is right for the patient, which is to be understood as the successful and satisfactory treatment of pain for the patients, is documented in the large number of scientific works which have recently and over the years appeared in the field of applied analgesics or on basic research on nociception.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

One object of the present invention is to provide new solid forms of (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride useful in the treatment or inhibition of pain.

U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,248,737 and 6,344,558 as well as European Patent EP 693 475 B1 disclose the substance and the synthesis of (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride in example 25. As proven by X-ray diffraction the 1R,2R configuration as shown in the drawing of the structure in example 25 is correct although the configuration is reported as (−)-(1R,2S) in U.S. Pat. No. 6,248,737 and (−)-(1S,2S) in U.S. Pat. No. 6,344,558 as well as in EP 693 475 B1.

It has now been surprisingly found that (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride can be produced in a reproducible manner in two different crystalline forms. The present invention provides a new form (Form A) of (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride which is different from the form already known (Form B) obtained by the procedure described in example 25 of U.S. Pat. No. 6,248,737 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,344,558 as well as EP 693 475 B1. This new Form A of (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride is very stable at ambient conditions and therefore useful for producing a pharmaceutical composition.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The new crystalline Form A of (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride can be identified by X-ray powder diffraction. The X-ray diffraction (“XRPD”) pattern is shown in FIG. 1 with the peak listing shown as Table 1.

The most important X-ray lines (2-theta values) in terms of intensity characterizing Form A of (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride showing one or a combination of the following in a powder diffraction measurement when measured using Cu K_α radiation at ambient temperature are 14.5±0.2, 18.2±0.2, 20.4±0.2, 21.7±0.2 and 25.5±0.2.

To discriminate crystalline Form A of (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride from Form B it is more advantageous to look at the unique peaks in the X-ray diffraction diagram, i.e. e.g. the lines with sufficient intensity at 2-theta values, where Form B does not show lines with significant intensity. Such characteristic X-ray lines (2-theta values) for Form A in a powder diffraction pattern when measured using CuK_α radiation at ambient temperature are: 15.1±0.2, 16.0±0.2, 18.9±0.2, 20.4±0.2, 22.5±0.2, 27.3±0.2, 29.3±0.2 and 30.4±0.2.

Another method to identify crystalline Form A of (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride is IR-spectroscopy. The IR-Spectrum of Form A is shown as FIG. 2 with the peak listing shown in comparison to Form B as Table 2.

In the IR-spectrum it is characteristic for crystalline Form A of (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride to show a combination of the following IR bands: 3180±4 cm⁻¹, 2970±4 cm⁻¹, 2695±4 cm⁻¹, 2115±4 cm⁻¹, 1698±4 cm⁻¹, 1462±4 cm⁻¹, 1032±4 cm⁻¹ and/or 972±4 cm⁻¹.

RAMAN technique can also be used to identify of the crystalline Form A of (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride. Especially the range between 800 cm⁻¹ and 200 cm⁻¹, which is shown in FIG. 3, is advantageously used also by way of RAMAN microscopy.

Crystal structure analysis of Form A of (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride showed monoclinic crystals with the following parameters of the elemental cell (length of side and angle):

• • a: 7.11 Å
  • b: 11.62 Å
  • c: 17.43 Å
  • β: 95.0°.

The elemental cell of the crystal of crystalline Form A has a volume of 1434±5 ų and a calculated density of 1.20±0.01 g/cm³.

The invention further relates to processes for the preparation of crystalline Form A of (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride.

The process starts from crystalline Form B of (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride prepared according to U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,248,737 or 6,344,558 or European Patent EP 693 475 B1 incorporated herein by reference.

In one embodiment of the process (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride of crystalline Form A is produced by dissolving the (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride of crystalline Form B in acetone, acetonitrile or isopropanol, optionally followed by filtering, leaving the solution to crystallize and isolating the crystals of (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride of crystalline Form A preferably by filtering again.

If acetone or acetonitrile is used it is preferred that during this process the temperature is kept below +40° C., more preferably below +25° C., especially after filtering. It is further preferred that in this process between 5 mg and 1 mg, more preferably between 2.5 mg and 1.4 mg, especially between 2.0 mg and 1.4 mg (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride is dissolved per ml solvent.

The use of isopropanol is preferred, if seed crystals of (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride of crystalline Form A are available. The isopropanol used preferably contains about 0.5% per volume of water. The dissolution of the (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride of crystalline Form B in isopropanol is performed at temperatures above room temperature, preferably above 65° C. but not exceeding 80° C. After complete dissolution the heat is turned of and the seed crystals are added during a first cooling phase. Thereafter the resulting mixture is cooled down to ≦15° C., preferably ≦10° C. and especially ≦5° C.

Optionally it is possible to reduce the solvent by evaporation, preferably in an evaporator under reduced pressure. Preferably the remaining volume of the solution after evaporation should not be less than 20% of the volume at the beginning of the process. Optionally it is also possible to add active carbon to the solution originally prepared.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention the (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride of crystalline Form A obtained by the process described above is redissolved in acetone acetonitrile or isopropanol, preferably in the solvent already used in the first step, optionally is filtered to remove any insoluble residue and, optionally after reducing the amount of solvent by evaporation, is left to crystallize.

It is preferred that in the last crystallization step the temperature is maintained at ≦15° C., more preferably ≦10° C. and especially ≦5° C.

In a further embodiment of the process according to the invention (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride of crystalline Form A is produced in the solid state by cooling (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride of crystalline Form B between 24 h and 168 h to a temperature between −4° C. and −80° C. It is preferred that in this process the cooling temperature is between −10° C. and −60° C., preferably between −15° C. and −50° C., especially between −25° C. and −40° C. and the cooling is carried out for a time between 24 h and 120 h, preferably between 24 h and 72 h, especially between 24 h and 48 h.

This invention further relates to a new Crystalline Form A of (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride obtainable by dissolving (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride of Form B in acetonitrile together with active carbon, heating the solution to the boiling point, removing the active carbon by filtering, stirring the solution at a temperature below 40° C., removing insoluble residue by filtering and removing part of the solvent leaving (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride of Form A to crystallize, redissolving the crystals so obtained in acetonitrile, removing insoluble residue by filtering and removing part of the solvent leaving (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride of Form A to crystallize.

Crystalline Form A according to the invention has the same pharmacological activity as Form B but is more stable under ambient conditions. It can be advantageously used as active ingredient in pharmaceutical compositions.

Therefore the invention further relates to a pharmaceutical composition containing as active ingredient (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride of crystalline Form A according to the invention and at least one suitable additive and/or auxiliary substance.

Such pharmaceutical composition according to the invention contains, in addition to crystalline Form A (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride, one or more suitable additive and/or auxiliary substance such as for example carrier materials, fillers, solvents, diluents, coloring agents and/or binders, and may be administered as liquid medicament preparations in the form of injectable solutions, drops or juices, as semi-solid medicament preparations in the form of granules, tablets, pellets, patches, capsules, plasters or aerosols. The choice of the auxiliary substances, etc., as well as the amounts thereof to be used depend on whether the medicament is to be administered orally, per orally, parenterally, intravenously, intraperitoneally, intradermally, intramuscularly, intranasally, buccally, rectally or topically, for example to the skin, the mucous membranes or the eyes. For oral application suitable preparations are in the form of tablets, sugar-coated pills, capsules, granules, droplets, juices and syrups, while for parenteral, topical and inhalative application suitable forms are solutions, suspensions, readily reconstitutable dry preparations, as well as sprays. Form A in a depot form, in dissolved form or in a plaster, optionally with the addition of agents promoting skin penetration, are suitable percutaneous application preparations. Preparation forms that can be administered orally or percutaneously can provide for the delayed release of crystalline Form A according to the invention. In principle further active constituents known to the person skilled in the art may be added to the medicaments according to the invention.

Preferred formulations for crystalline Form A (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride according to the invention are presented in the PCT-application WO 03/035054 incorporated herein by reference.

Example 12: Single Crystal Structure Analysis of Form A

A colorless crystal of (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methyl-propyl)-phenol hydrochloride prepared according to one of the examples 2 to 6 having approximate dimensions of 0.6×0.60×0.50 mm was mounted on a glass fiber in random orientation. Preliminary examination and data collection were performed with Cu K_α radiation (1.54184 Å) on a Enraf-Nonius CAD4 computer controlled kappa axis diffractometer equipped with a graphite crystal, incident beam monochromator.

Cell constants and an orientation matrix for data collection were obtained from least-squares refinement using the setting angles of 25 reflections in the range 16°<θ<24°, measured by the computer controlled diagonal slit method of centering. The monoclinic cell parameters and calculated volume are:

a=7.110(3), b=11.615(4), c=17.425(6) Å, β=95.00(3), V=1433.5(10) ų. For Z=4 and formula weight of 257.79 the calculated density is 1.20 g·cm⁻³. The space group was determined to be P2₁ (No. 19).

The data were collected at a temperature of −103±5° C. using ω-θ scan technique. The scan rate varied from 4 to 20°/min (in ω). The variable scan rate allows rapid data collection for intense reflections where a fast scan rate is used and assures good counting statistics for weak reflections where a slow scan rate is used. Data were collected to a maximum of 2θ of 75.11°. The scan range) (in°) was determined as a function of θ to correct for the separation of the Kα doublet. The scan width was calculated as follows:

θ scan width=0.8+0.140 tan θ

Moving-crystal moving-counter background counts were made by scanning an additional 25% above and below this range. Thus the ratio of peak counting time to background counting time was 2:1. The counter aperture was also adjusted as a function of θ. The horizontal aperture width ranged from 2.4 to 2.5 mm; the vertical aperture was set at 4.0 mm.

The data for Form A as collected in a commonly known “.cif”-document for complete reference of distances within the molecule are shown in Table 3.

Example 13: Single Crystal Structure Analysis of Form B

A colorless chunk of (−)-(1R,2R)-3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl)-phenol hydrochloride prepared according to one of the examples 7 to 9 having approximate dimensions of 0.44×0.40×0.35 mm was mounted on a glass fiber in random orientation. Preliminary examination and data collection were performed with Mo K_α radiation (λ=0.71073 Å) on a Nonius KappaCCD diffractometer.

Cell constants and an orientation matrix for data collection were obtained from least-squares refinement using the setting angles of 6172 reflections in the range 5<θ<27°. The orthorhombic cell parameters and calculated volume are: a=7.0882(3), b=11.8444(6), c=17.6708(11) Å, V=1483.6(2) ų. For Z=4 and formula weight of 257.79 the calculated density is 1.15 g·cm⁻³. The refined mosaicity from DENZO/SCALEPACK was 0.68° (<1 mod, <2 poor) indicating moderate crystal quality. The space group was determined by the program ABSEN. From the systematic presence of:

• • h00 h=2n
  • 0k0 k=2n
  • 001 1=2n
    and from subsequent least-squares refinement, the space group was determined to be P2₁2₁2₁ (number 19).

The data were collected to a maximum 2θ value of 55.0°, at a temperature of 343±1 K.

The data from examples 12 and 13 are compared in Table 3f:

Example 14: RAMAN Spectrum of Forms A and B

Form A and B were investigated using RAMAN spectroscopy. The RAMAN spectrometer used was a Bruker Raman FT 100. The RAMAN Microscope was a Renishaw 1000 System, 20× Obj. Long working distance, diode laser 785 nm. Raman spectroscopy was able to distinguish clearly between Forms A and B. Differences between the spectra of the two forms appear in the whole spectral range (3200-50 cm⁴), but the difference in the range between 800-200 cm-1 were most significant.

The results for Form A are shown in FIG. 3, the results for Form B in FIG. 6.

Furthermore the samples were investigated by RAMAN microscopy. The spectra of both forms were also distinguishable. Here, spectra were taken in the wavenumber range of 2000-100 cm⁻¹.

Example 16: Variable Temperature X-Ray Powder Diffraction Experiment

A variable temperature X-ray powder diffraction experiment was run thereby producing Form B from Form A. Form A converted to Form B from 40-50° C. during the experiment. The result is reversible with Form B changing over into Form A at lower temperature.
