Abstract

The present invention relates to new crystals A, B and F of lobaplatin as well as preparation methods therefor and pharmaceutical applications thereof. Lobaplatin crystal A has a melting point Tm.p. of 220?5? C. and is obtained by adding a lobaplatin trihydrate to a suspension crystallization solvent. Lobaplatin crystal B has a melting point T.sub.m.p. of 230?5? C. and is obtained by performing solvent evaporation on a lobaplatin trihydrate or by adding a solvent to a lobaplatin dihydrate, and performing room temperature evaporation or solventing-out crystallization and then drying. Lobaplatin crystal F has a melting point Tm.p. of 229?5? C. and is obtained by adding methanol or ethanol to a lobaplatin dihydrate, stirring at room temperature until solids are dissolved, filtering out insolubles, slowly adding an organic solvent, crystallizing out, separating the crystal and drying the crystal. Compared with the existing lobaplatin and lobaplatin trihydrate, the lobaplatin crystals A, B and F have better stability and solubility, are more suitable for preparation of various forms of pharmaceutical preparations, are more suitable for storage and use, and can be better used for treating cancers such as breast cancer, small cell lung cancer, or chronic myeloid leukemia.

(93) The results showed that: crystal forms A-F were stable. While some of crystal forms G-P had difficulty for enlargement and some had the appearance of crystal transformation phenomenon, which were not suitable for further investigation.

(94) That is to say, the raw materials were conducted crystallization screening through methods of evaporation at normal temperatures, suspension crystallization, and dissolution and precipitation crystallization and so on.

After verification by repeated and scaled-up experiments, crystal forms A-F were determined to be relatively stable with better repeatability. While some of other crystal forms were difficult to carry out scaled-up production with lower yield, some were inferred as unstable crystal forms for the appearance of crystal transformation phenomenon. Therefore, crystal form A-F were selected further to conduct comprehensive study.

(205) Comparative sample 2: which was the same as the foregoing sample of comparative samples 2 in part 2.2 of example 2. The lobaplatin was prepared according to the method of example in the patent EP0611303, and the specific preparation methods were the same as these of the foregoing comparative sample 2 in part 2.2 of example 2.

(206) 2. Morphological Identifications

(207) The identification results were the same as comparative sample 1 and comparative sample 2 in part 2.2 of example 2, specifically results were given as follows:

(208) Comparative Sample 1: Lobaplatin obtained was amorphous;

(209) Comparative Sample 2: There were diffraction peaks at 2? values of about 6.71, 8.35, 12.89, 15.14, 16.74, 17.45, 19.01, 19.40, 22.07, 22.76, 23.16, 24.30, 25.21, 25.74, 27.08, 30.26, 30.79 in the PXRD pattern by the X-ray diffraction, wherein the error range of 2? values was less than 0.2. The melting point of this sample was described to be 210? C. (decomposition) in the patent EP0611303.

(210) Samples 1-8 in the present invention: there were diffraction peaks at 2? values of about 8.21, 11.60, 12.99, 15.24, 16.44, 17.11, 17.55, 18.42, 19.01, 19.20, 19.42, 21.81, 22.17, 22.42, 23.33, 23.85, 24.18, 24.40, 24.77, 25.46, 25.98, 26.13, 27.89, 28.42, 29.03, 30.32, 31.17, 31.94, 33.30, 36.20, 37.62, 39.66 in the PXRD pattern by the X-ray diffraction, wherein the error range of 2? values was less than 0.2. There was an exothermal peak near 229? C. in the DSC pattern which was the melting and decomposition peak judged by combining with TGA datas and the melting point datas recorded in the European patent EP 0611303. All the datas showed that samples 1-8 had the same crystal form which was the new crystal form F of lobaplatin.

(211) 3. The Study of Solubility

(212) Concentrations of 60 ?g/ml, 80 ?g/ml, 200 ?m/ml, 400 ?m/ml and 800 ?m/ml lobaplatin trihydrate control solutions were prepared to make the standard curve by HPLC method. And the standard curve equation obtained was Y=4.8641X+20.5794, R=0.9998. Sample 6 of new lobaplatin crystal and comparative sample 2 were prepared to be saturated aqueous solutions (suspensions) respectively. The solutions were vibrated in a shaker at 25? C. for 6 h followed by filteration, and diluted to appropriate multiples to be analyzed by HPLC. The solubility results were shown in Table 13 as follows:

(213) TABLE-US-00016 TABLE 13 The solubility results of solubility crystal form sample 6 comparative sample 1 solubility (mg/ml) 21.4957 10.3271

(214) The results showed that: the solubility of lobaplatin compound prepared in the present invention was better than that of lobaplatin trihydrate.

(215) 4. The Quality Contrast Study of Lobaplatin New Crystal Forms

(216) 20 mg of samples 1-8 of lobaplatin dihydrate and comparative sample 1-2 were weighed respectively. Product moistures, impurities contents, contents of active ingredients, and yields were regarded as the indexes to study the product quality and yields. Results were shown in Table 14 below:

(217) TABLE-US-00017 TABLE 14 The quality contrast study for new lobaplatin crystal moisture impurities lobaplatin contents contents contents (%, calculated on sample (%) (%) anhydrous lobaplatin) yields (%) sample 1 1.98 0.15 99.91 71 sample 2 2.12 0.17 99.85 68 sample 3 2.07 0.20 99.93 70 sample 4 1.95 0.16 99.90 72 sample 5 2.11 0.21 99.88 69 sample 6 2.03 0.14 99.96 73 sample 7 2.09 0.16 99.89 67 sample 8 1.91 0.18 99.92 66 comparative 3.78 1.21 98.26 64 sample 1 comparative 12.14 0.42 99.51 55 sample 2

(218) The above mentioned results showed that, compared with anhydrous lobaplation and lobaplatin trihydrate, the new lobaplatin crystal form F obtained by the present invention characteristics of high contents, low impurities, and good yields.

(219) Note 1: The determination method of contents: which was the same as the foregoing part 2.2 of example 2.

(220) Note 2: The examination method of impurities: which was the same as the foregoing part 2.2 of example 2.

(221) Note 3: The determination method of moisture contents: which was the same as the foregoing part 2.2 of example 2.

(222) 5. The Study of Stability

(223) The sample 6 prepared in the example of the present invention and the prepared comparative sample 2 were respectively left to the conditions of a 60? C. oven, a relative humidity of about 95%, and a light stability test container of about 4500 lux illumination (a conventional incubator with the illumination function). The samples were taken out to perform PXRD tests and HPLC analyses after 5 days and 10 days to study the stability of samples under the condition of a high temperature, a high humidity and an illumination. Results are shown in table 15.

(224) TABLE-US-00018 TABLE 15 The evaluation results of stability Experimental conditions thermo-stability wet stability light stability comparative comparative comparative sample 6 sample 2 sample 6 sample 2 sample 6 sample 2 PXRD stable stable stable stable stable Stable 5 days PXRD stable relatively stable relatively stable stable 10 days stable stable HPLC 99.959% 99.513% 99.959% 99.513% 99.959% 99.513% 0 days HPLC 99.850% 99.632% 99.963% 99.294% 99.913% 99.608% 5 days HPLC 99.961% 98.737% 99.904% 98.815% 99.934% 98.726% 10 days

(225) The above mentioned experiment results showed that, the new lobplatin crystal form F in the present invention had a higher solubility than lobplatin trihydrate, and yields and purity were ideal. The new lobplatin crystal form F had a good stability and no appearance of crystal transformation phenomenon from the results of a high temperature, a high humidity and an illumination study. Active ingredients' contents were superior to lobplatin trihydrate and had no apparent changes according to the HPLC results, indicating that the new lobplatin crystal was stable.
