Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a process for obtaining pure aprepitant substantially free of undesired diastereomeric isomer, namely 5-[2(S)-[1(RS)-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-phenypethoxy]-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-morpholin-4-yl-methyl]-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one. The present invention further provides an improved process for preparation of aprepitant crystalline form II. The present invention also relates to novel amorphous form of aprepitant, a process for its preparation and to a pharmaceutical composition comprising it. The present invention further relates to aprepitant having a mean particle size of less than about 11.5 microns, a process for its preparation and to a pharmaceutical composition comprising it. Thus, for example, aprepitant having a content of diastereomeric impurity of 1.1% is dissolved in ethyl acetate at 70° C., the solution is concentrated to half the initial volume by distilling off ethyl acetate, and the resulting solid is collected at 0-5° C. to give pure aprepitant substantially free of its diastereomeric impurity.
