FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of edoxaban and salts thereof.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Savaysa (Edoxaban tosylate monohydrate) is N-(5-chloropyridin-2-yl)-N-[(1S,2R,4S)-4 (N,N-dimethyl carbamoyl)-2-(5-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro [1,3]thiazolo[5,4-c]pyridine-2-carboxamido)cyclohexyl]oxamide mono(4-methyl benzenesulfonate) monohydrate depicted by compound of formula I.

Savaysa is a factor Xa inhibitor, indicated to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism (SE) in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). Savaysa is available as 15 mg, 30 mg and 60 mg oral tablets.


The present invention provides a simple and industrially advantageous process for preparing edoxaban. In the preparation of edoxaban, compound of Formula IV is an important intermediate, prepared by the reaction of compound of formula V with a compound of formula VI.

This reaction requires use of a base and it has been observed that when a base is added to the compound of formula V, and when acetonitrile is used as a solvent there is formation of a gel which gets deposited and consequently the reaction system hardens and solidifies making stirring difficult and reducing the yield and purity of compound of formula IV. To circumvent this problem, the compound of formula VI is treated with one portion of a base and then the compound of formula V is added followed by addition of another portion of the base. Thus a particular sequence of addition of the two reactants compound V and VI and adding the base in divided portions is required to solve the problem of the reaction system solidifying.


Surprisingly it has been found that by the process of the present invention, wherein dimethyl sulfoxide is used as a solvent in the reaction of compound of formula V with a compound of formula VI in presence of a base, the problem of gel formation and reaction system hardening is circumvented, leading to the formation of compound of formula II in high yields and purity. The use of dimethylsulfoxide as a solvent does not require a particular sequence of addition of reactants or use of base in divided portions and provides reaction simplicity and also ensures the completion of reaction in lesser time.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention provides a process for the preparation of edoxaban tosylate monohydrate, a compound of formula I, comprising:


a) reacting the compound of formula V with a compound of formula VI in the presence of a base and a solvent to obtain compound of formula IV, wherein the solvent is dimethyl sulfoxide;
