The present invention relates to the use of novel vildagliptin complexes for the manufacture of high purity vildagliptin of Formula I and/or pharmaceutical acceptable salts thereof. Further objects of the present invention are pharmaceutically acceptable complexes of vildagliptin and/or amorphous and crystalline forms, anhydrous forms, amorphous and crystalline hydrates, amorphous and crystalline solvates of the complexes and a process for the preparation thereof. Another object of the present invention is the high purity vildagliptin and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof prepared form the vildagliptin complexes of the present invention, a process for the preparation thereof and pharmaceutical compositions containing vildagliptin base, pharmaceutically acceptable salts and/or complexes and use thereof for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (NIDDM). The present invention provides pharmaceutically advantageous high purity vildagliptin complexes.
1-[2-(3-hydroxyadamant-1-yl-amino)acetyl]pyrrolidin-(2S)-carbonitrile of the formula
(INN: vildagliptin) is used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (non-insulin dependent). It is known that dipeptidile peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors are effective in the treatment of diseases which are mediated by DPP-IV. DPP-IV inhibits glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which is one of the main stimulants of insulin secretion of pancreas. Moreover GLP-1 positively influences glucose transformation. Therefore inhibition of DPP-IV is effective in the treatment of diseases such as non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).
1-[2-(3-hydroxyadamant-1-yl-amino)acetyl]pyrrolidin-(2S)-carbonitrile of formula I (vildagliptin) and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are described first in EP 1 137 635 A1. Vildagliptin base and some analogues therefore are described in EP 1 137 635 A1 and pharmaceutical acceptable acid addition salts thereof are generally mentioned in the specification.
WO 2007/019255 international patent application describes pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of vildagliptin. Five of the salts, such as hydrochloride, hydrogen sulphate (two polymorphs) hydrogen fumarate, hydrogen malonate are characterised by physical and spectral data.
It is known, that the solubility and bioavailability of the bases are not always sufficient. Therefore the stabilization by salt formation could be a useful solution.
According to WO 2007019255 the salts of vildagliptin—stored in solid form or in the organism—are more stable than the vildagliptin base of formula I. The salts are more soluble in water, therefore they have potentially better bioavailability. According to the description of WO 2007019255 the salts are not hygroscopic and have advantageous formulation properties. The application compares the stability of the vildagliptin base, hydrochloride and hydrogen fumarate salts mixed with several excipients under different conditions. According to the results the stability of the salts is better than that of the base in powder mixture. In pages 44 to 45 of WO 2007019255 it is described that vildagliptin base almost completely decomposes in water until three days and only 7.5% active ingredient is detectable after tree days contrary to the salts.
Physical and chemical properties and spectral data of vildagliptin polymorphisms are not known.
An object of the present invention is the use of the 1-[2-(3-hydroxyadamant-1-yl-amino)acetyl]pyrrolidin-(2S)-carbonitrile (vildagliptin) complexes of the general formulae II and III for the preparation of high purity vildagliptin of the formula I and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

In the present specification ‘transition metal’ stands for metals belonging to the 3rd to 12th groups of the periodic table, such as the elements of zinc-group.
A marketed pharmaceutical composition has to meet several, regulatory authority requirements, and should be supported by documentation. One part of the requirements relates to the pharmaceutical composition, the other part of the requirements relates to the pharmaceutically active ingredient, which requirements are in close closely linked.
The vildagliptin base is produced by reacting 3-amino-adamantane-1-ol of the formula
and 1-(2-chloroacetyl)-pyrrolidine-(2S)-carbonitrile of the formula
Therefore this intermediate compounds are constant impurities of the vildagliptin synthesis. A further impurity of the coupling reaction is the twice alkylated (2S,2′S)-1,1′-{[(3-hydroxytricyclo[3.3.1.13,7]dec-1-il)imino]bis(1-oxoethan-2,1-diyl)}dipyrrolidine-2-carbonitrile of the formula
According to our experiments the formulation of the impurities can not be avoided, only the amount of the impurities can be decreased by optimization of the reaction conditions.
The aim of WO 2008084383 is the minimization of the amount of the component of the formula VII. According to the examples 8 to 23 the ratio of the vildagliptin base to the impurity of the formula VII was 40:1 even after optimization, in other words more than 2% of the impurity of the formula VII was present in the rude product of the reaction. According to example 1 in case of purification by recrystallization form ethyl methyl ketone, —which turns out to be the best way of purification—the ratio of the vildagliptin base to the impurity of the formula VII does not exceeded 99.7:0.30, i.e. the amount of the impurity of the formula VII is 0.3%. The allowable amount of the known impurities in an pharmaceutical active ingredient can not exceed 0.15% according to the pharmaceutical requirements (ICH guideline). This amount of the impurity could exceed only if the safety of the composition is supported by supplementary toxicological investigations. Therefore not even the compound with the highest purity according to WO 2008084383 fulfils the requirements of the ICH guideline in spite of the optimization of the coupling reaction and the further recrystallization
It is noteworthy that the 3-amino-adamantane-1-ol of the formula V, which is one of the intermediate compounds being a constant impurity of the vildagliptin synthesis and does not contains UV-active groups. No method for the qualitative and quantitative determination of this impurity is known. Therefore the impurity of the formula V is probably not detected by HPLC measurement of vildagliptin purity. Only one method is described in connection with the detection of the compound of the formula V, which is mass spectrometry (MS) coupled with HPLC but this method is not used for quantitative determination in pharmaceutical industry.
It has been surprisingly found that at reacting vildagliptin base of the formula I with salts of alkali metals, alkaline earth metals or transition metals in solution the complexes of the general formulae II and III are formed.
The complexes are completely different from the acid addition salts of vildagliptin regarding the composition and chemical characteristics thereof which differences can be seen on comparing the compounds of the general formulae II and III with acid addition salts of the compounds of general the formula IV. The acid addition salts are positively charged on the basic nitrogen and an ionic bond is between the salt and the negatively charged anion. On the other hand the cation is connected by a coordinate covalent bond or noncovalent bond to the groups of the vildagliptin, which are disposed to form complexes (—C≡N, —C≡O, —NH—, —OH). Therefore the formula of the complexes is completely different from that of the salts.
It has been surprisingly found that in spite of the secondary bonds the complexes are not only solid forms but the melting point of some complexes is higher than that of the vildagliptin base or salts. The stochiometry of the complexes is well characterised and stable, and does not alter during purification by recrystallization. According to the thermo gravimetrics (TG) experiments on warming the complexes to their melting point, they do not decompose.
According to our experiments the vildagliptin complexes can be produced by a simple, reproducible and environmentally friendly process feasible in industrial scale with excellent purity. The high purity is due to the surprising fact that the impurities of the formulae VI and VII of vildagliptin do not form complexes under the same conditions thus the impurities can be removed from the active ingredient. This finding is supported by the following experiment. We tried to form complexes with the compounds of formulae VI and VII. Under the conditions of example 3, the compounds of formulae VI and VII did not form solid complexes. Therefore the complex formation is an excellent method for purifying vildagliptin base and it is more effective than the methods known from the state of the art.
An HPLC method based on light scattering is developed by us for the detection of the UV-inactive compound of the formula V. According to our experiments after the coupling reaction vildagliptin of the formula I always contains said impurity of the formula V, the amount of the impurity being 4 to 5% in the crude product. However in the complexes or in the base which is produced form the complexes the amount of the impurity of the formula V was under the detectable amount (0.03%).
The calcium chloride trihydrate complex of vildagliptin [compound of the general formula III, wherein M denotes calcium(II) ion, A stands for chloride ion, n is 1, x is 1, y is 2 and z is 3] according to example 2 has the following properties:
The object of the present invention is the complexes of vildagliptin formed by salts of alkali metals, alkaline earth metals and transition metals according to the general formula II and the hydrates of such complexes according to the general formula III. These complexes have higher purity, advantageous pharmaceutical properties and are more stable than the vildagliptin base and salts produced by the known processes.
The cations of the salts used by complex formation are selected from lithium(I), sodium(I), potassium(I), or caesium(I) ion, alkaline earth metal ions such as magnesium(II), calcium(II), or strontium(II) ion; cations of transition metals, such as zinc(II), copper(II), nickel(II), cobalt(II), ferri(III) or manganese(II) ion. Preferably magnesium(II), calcium(II), strontium(II), zinc(II) or copper(II) cation can be used. Fluoride, chloride, bromide, iodide, nitrate, sulphate, and organic anions, for example formiate and acetate ion; preferably chloride, bromide, nitrate and acetate anion can be used as anions.
The X-ray powder diffraction patterns of the complexes were determined. The conditions of the X-ray powder diffraction measurements were the following:
It has been surprisingly found that some of the novel complexes are formed in an amorphous form and the other formed in a crystalline form.
Most of the novel complexes were anhydrous, but the calcium chloride complex was crystallised in trihydrate form. The calcium chloride trihydrate complex of vildagliptin has a high melting point (168-174° C.) and is a white powder. The stochiometry of the complex is stable and does not alter during recrystallization.
In most of the novel complexes the molar ration of vildagliptin and the inorganic salt is 1:1 but it has been surprisingly found that zinc chloride is able to form two kinds of complexes, one with a molar ratio being 1:1 and the other with 2:1. The two complexes show significantly different properties. The complex with 1:1 molar ratio has a melting point of 282-286° C. and is a crystalline form. The complex with 2:1 molar ratio has a melting point of °145-149° C. and it has an amorphous form.
In pages 44 to 45 pages of WO 2007019255 it is described that the vildagliptin base completely decomposes in water within three days and only 7.5% active ingredient is detectable after three days contrary to the salts. Under the same reaction conditions, wherein the calcium chloride trihydrate complex of vildagliptin [compound of the general formula III, wherein M denotes calcium(II) ion, A stands for chloride ion, n is 1, x is 1, y is 2 and z is 3] was stirred in water, the relative amount of the non-decomposed active ingredient was 98.7% after 93 hours and 97.6% after 165 hours, which is much more advantageous compared to the vildagliptin base of the formula I.
In case of accelerated (40° C., 75% relative humidity) and standard (25° C., 60% relative humidity) conditions of stability experiments the primary metabolite of the vildagliptin is the 1-[2-(3-hydroxy-adamantane-1-yl-amino)-acetyl]-pyrrolidine-(2S)-carboxamide of the formula VIII, which is formed by the hydrolysis of the nitrile group to acidamide. The hydrolysis takes place rapidly under higher humidity of temperature.
According to our experiments the amount of the metabolite of the formula VIII is increased faster during storage than in the complexes of the present invention. It has been found that the impurity of the formula VIII in vildagliptin base was 43.0% in 0.01 M NaOH solution after 17 hours at room temperature. The impurity of the formula VIII was only 9.5% in the calcium chloride complex of the present invention when stored under the same conditions. A similar process was observed under oxidative conditions (0.3 t % H2O2 solution, room temperature, 15 minutes) where the amount of the compound of the formula VIII was 48.2% in the vildagliptin base and only 32.2% in the calcium chloride complex of the present invention.
Solid complexes formed by inorganic salts and organic pharmaceutical compounds can not be found among the marketed pharmaceutical compounds.

Water, alcohols containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, acetonitrile or a mixture thereof, preferably ethyl alcohol, 2-propanol or mixture thereof or mixture thereof with water is used as solvent by complex formation.
The metal salt, which is used by the complex formation is applied in an amount of 0.4-3.0 mole(s), preferably 0.45-1.2 mole(s) equivalent calculated on the amount of the vildagliptin, the most preferable amount is 0.95-1.00 mole(s) in case of (1.1) stoichiometric complexes and 0.45-0.50 mole(s) equivalent in case of (2:1) stoichiometric complexes.
Another aspect of the present invention is high purity vildagliptin base of formula I, which is manufactured by using (vildagliptin) complexes of the general formulae II and III. The invention further relates to the high purity vildagliptin salts of the formula IV wherein ‘B’ stands for a pharmaceutically acceptable organic or inorganic acid anion. The high purity vildagliptin salts of the formula IV can be prepared by using high purity vildagliptin base of the present invention and/or directly by using the (vildagliptin) complexes of the general formulae II and III
According to the present specification the term ‘high purity’ stands for a vildagliptin base, which contains the 3-amino-adamantane-1-ol of the formula V and/or (2S,2′S)-1,1′-{[(3-hydroxytricyklo[3.3.1.13,7]dec-1-yl)imino]bis(1-oxoethane-2,1-diyl)}dipyrrolidine-2-carbonitrile of the formula VII in an amount less than 0.10 w/w %.
The present invention is based on the finding that the high purity vildagliptin base can be preferably prepared by using the novel vildagliptin complexes of the general formulae II and III of the present invention.
The present invention further relates to a process for preparing vildagliptin of the formula I and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof by using vildagliptin complexes of the formula II or formula III, which comprises reacting the vildagliptin complex of the formula II or the formula III with an inorganic salt or inorganic base in aqueous solution, preferably with alkalimetal carbonate and if desired removing the vildagliptin of the formula I from the aqueous phase by further addition of an inorganic salt, filtering the precipitated products and dissolving the vildagliptin of the formula I from beside the inorganic substances with an organic solvent, filtering the solution and recovering the vildagliptin of the formula I from the filtrated solution and if desired converting it to a salt.
A further aspect of the present invention is a process for preparing vildagliptin of formula I and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof by using vildagliptin complexes of the formula II or the formula III, which comprises reacting the vildagliptin complex of the formula II or the formula III with an inorganic salt or base, preferably an alkali-metal carbonate dissolved in water and if desired precipitating the vildagliptin of the formula I by further addition of an inorganic salt, extracting the mixture with a suitable organic solvent, such as dichloro methane, separating the phases, drying the organic phase, crystallizing the evaporated and obtained vildagliptin of the formula I and converting it to a salt if desired.
Under the above described conditions compounds of formulae VI and VII, which are the most characteristic impurities of the vildagliptin base, do not form solid complexes. Therefore the complex formation is an excellent method for purifying vildagliptin base and it is more effective than the methods known from the state of the art.
The vildagliptin base of example 7, recovered from the calcium chloride trihydrate complex of vildagliptin according to example 2, has the following properties:
If desired the vildagliptin base manufactured according to the above described process can be converted into high purity vildagliptin salts of the general formula IV by using known processes.
It has been surprisingly found that the calcium chloride trihydrate complex of vildagliptin can be compressed significantly more preferably than the vildagliptin base, therefore it possesses more advantageous pharmaceutical properties than the vildagliptin base.
