Description

N-T-BUTYL-ANDROST-3.5-DIENE-17β-CARBOXAMIDE-3-CARBOXYLTC
ACID POLYMORPH B The present invention relates to a novel polymorphic form of N-t-butyl-androst-3,5-diene-17β- carboxamide-3-carboxylic acid.
Brief Description of the Drawings
Figure I is an Infa-red spectrum of N-t-butyl- androst-3,5-diene-17β-carboxylic acid polymorph B.
Figure II is an enhanced FT-IR spectrum of the 3399-3501 cm-1 region of polymorph B disclosing the characteristic N-H stretch of polymorph B.
Detailed Description of the Invention N-t-butyl-androst-3,5-diene-17β-carboxamide-3- carboxylic acid is a compound which is disclosed and claimed as being useful in the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy in U.S. Patent No. 5,017,568, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. Said compound can be prepared by methods such as described in U.S. Patent No. 5,017,568. The isolation and identification of the polymorphic forms of said compound is advantageous in identifying desirable physical characteristics of the different crystal forms of said compound.
It has now been found that a polymorphic form (hereinafter polymorph B) of the compound N-t-butyl- androst-3,5-diene-17β-carboxamide-3-carboxylic acid can be obtained in a high state of polymorphic purity by crystallization or by precipitation of said compound from or by the trituration of said compound in a solvent consisting of or primarily consisting of acetonitrile, 2-butanone, methanol or tetrahydrofuran. Also, contemplated herein is the process of obtaining substantially pure polymorph B by crystallization or by precipitation of said compound from or by the trituration of said compound in a solvent consisting of a combination of solvents selected form acetonitrile, 2- butanone, methanol and tetrahydrofuran. Preferably, crude N-t-butyl-androst-3,5-diene-17β-carboxamide-3- carboxylic acid is dissolved in and substantially pure polymorph B is crystalized from a solution of boiling acetonitrile, said solution optionally containing a co- solvent, preferably methylene chloride, to aid dissolution. Preferably a 12-40% by weight slurry of N- t-butyl-androst-3,5-diene-17β-carboxamide-3-carboxylic acid in acetonitrile is stirred at above ambient temperature. Preferably a 14-20% by weight slurry of N- t-butyl-androst-3,5-diene-17β-carboxamide-3-carboxylic acid in boiling acetonitrile is stirred, preferably for about an hour. Preferably, crude N-t-butyl-androst-3,5- diene-17β-carboxamide-3-carboxylic acid is dissolved in and substantially pure polymorph B is precipitated from 2-butanone by concentration and with the addition of petroleum ether.
Presently, N-t-butyl-androst-3,5-diene-17β- carboxamide-3-carboxylic acid is known to assume only two polymorphic forms, A and B. Table 1 displays the results of equilibrium solubility studies carried out on the two polymorphic forms of N-t-butyl-androst-3,5-diene-17β-carboxamide-3- carboxylic acid. The studies were carried out at ambient temperature and the concentration of N-t-butyl- androst-3,5-diene-17β-carboxamide-3-carboxylic acid in each solution was measured by ultra violet spectroscopy,

** ND = Not detected, limit of detection was 0.001 mg/ml
As indicated in Table 1 above, the polymorph B form is more soluble and has a faster rate of dissolution in water than the polymorph A form. Such enhanced solubility properties are advantageous in the preparation of pharmaceutical formulations of N-t-butyl- androst-3,5-diene-17β-carboxamide-3-carboxylic acid, such as creams or ointments, and indicates increased Ln vivo bioavailability of said compound. - A -
By the term "crude" as used herein is meant that the isolated N-t-butyl-androst-3, 5-diene-17β- carboxamide-3-carboxylic acid starting material exist as an amorphous solid, in an undesired polymorphic form or as a plurality of polymorphic forms .
By the term "N-t-butyl-androst-3, 5-diene-17β- carboxamide-3-carboxylic acid" as used herein is meant a compound of the structure
N-t-butyl-androst-3, 5-diene-17β-carboxamide-3- carboxylic acid polymorph B (prepared by crystallization from acetonitrile) was analyzed by an X-ray powder diffraction (X-ray diffractometry (XRD) obtained from Micron Incorporated of Wilmington, Delaware) . The characteristic d-spacings, intensities, and 2-theta values for the diffraction pattern of Polymorph B are listed in Table 2 below.
