- Synthetic improvements in the preparation of clopidogrel
-
Synthetic improvements in the preparation of clopidogrel are described. The synthesis was accomplished in four steps or one-pot in above 70% overall yield. The process featured PTC catalyzed alkaline hydrolysis of the key intermediate 2-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-(6,7-dihydrothieno[3,2-c]pyridin-5(4H)-yl)acetonitrile and highly effective kinetic resolution of racemic clopidogrel using L-camphorsulphonic acid in toluene and has been successfully used in a 50-kg pilot test.

- NOVEL CRYSTALLINE POLYMORPHS OF CLOPIDOGREL
-
The present invention relates to novel crystalline forms of the platelet aggregation inhibitor (+)-(S)-methyl-2-(2-chlorophenyl)-(6,7-dihydro-4H-thieno[3,2-c]pyrid-5-yl)acetate, clopidogrel (1), in the form of hydrogen bromide salts, identified as polymorph forms 1, 2 and 3. The present invention further relates to processes for preparing such forms, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such forms, and uses for such forms and compositions. The pharmaceutical compositions may be used, in particular, for inhibiting platelet aggregation or for treating, preventing or managing thrombosis, atherothrombosis, an atherothrombotic event, ischaemic stroke, myocardial infarction, non-Q-wave myocardial infarction, atherosclerosis, peripheral arterial disease, or unstable angina. The present invention also relates to methods of treating said disorders. Formula (1).
