- 1. Technical Field
- The present invention generally relates to an improved process for the preparation of perindopril and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. More specifically, the present invention relates to a process which forms a novel intermediate in the preparation of perindopril erbumine.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Perindopril erbumine, also known as (2S,3aS,7aS)-1-[(S)-N-[(S)-1-carboxy-butyl]alanyl]hexahydro-2-indolinecarboxylic acid, 1-ethyl ester, compound with tert-butylamine (1:1), is represented by the structure of Formula I.
The tert-butylamine salt of perindopril, also known as perindopril erbumine, is the form commercially sold under the trade name Aceon®. Perindopril is the free acid form of perindopril erbumine and is an ethyl ester of a non-sulfhydryl angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. Perindopril is also a pro-drug and is metabolized in vivo by hydrolysis of the ester group to form perindoprilat, the biologically active metabolite. Perindopril is ordinarily used to treat hypertension. - It is believed that perindopril lowers blood pressure primarily through inhibition of ACE activity. ACE is a peptidyl dipeptidase that catalyzes conversion of the inactive decapeptide, angiotensin I, to the vasoconstrictor, angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is a potent peripheral vasoconstrictor, which stimulates aldosterone secretion by the adrenal cortex, and provides negative feedback on renin secretion. Inhibition of ACE results in decreased plasma angiotensin II, leading to decreased vasoconstriction, increased plasma renin activity and decreased aldosterone secretion. The latter results in diuresis and natriuresis and may be associated with a small increase of serum potassium.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,914,214 (“the '214 patent”), incorporated by reference herein, discloses a process for the preparation of perindopril. A process disclosed in the '214 patent for the preparation of perindopril involves hydrogenating indoline-2-carboxylic acid (1) in methanol over a rhodium-aluminum oxide (Rh/Al2O3) catalyst to form (2S,3aS,7aS)-octahydroindole-2-carboxylic acid of the formula (2). The acid of formula (2) is then esterified with thionyl chloride and benzyl alcohol to yield (2S,3aS,7aS)-octahydroindole-2-carboxylic acid benzyl ester (3), which is one key intermediate of perindopril. Another key intermediate of perindopril is prepared by reacting L-norvaline (4) with thionyl chloride and ethanol to form an ethyl ester (5). The ethyl ester (5) is reacted with sodium pyruvate (6) and subjected to hydrogenation to form N-1S-carboxyethylbutyl-(S)-alanine (7), another key intermediate. (2S,3aS,7aS)-octahydroindole-2-carboxylic acid benzyl ester (3) is then coupled with N-1S-carboxyethylbutyl-(S)-alanine (7) in presence of sodium dicyclohexyl dicarbodiimide (DCC) to yield perindopril benzylated ester (8). Perindopril benzylated ester (8) is hydrolyzed to form perindopril (9). Perindopril (9) is reacted with tert-butylamine to form the perindopril erbumine salt (I) as generally shown below in Scheme I.
- WO 2004/075889, incorporated by reference herein, also discloses a process for preparing perindopril which includes reacting the benzyl ester of (2S,3aS,7aS)-2-carboxyperhydroindole with N-[(S)-1-carbethoxybutyl]-(S)-alanyl chloride or bromide in the presence of a suitable base followed by debenzylation by catalytic hydrogenation. However, this method is relatively time consuming and not cost effective because the debenzylation uses a Pd/C catalyst.
- Several drawbacks are further associated with the processes of the prior art. For example, several drawbacks include the use of toxic reagents with stringent standards, expensive reagents that are not easily recycled, and numerous steps that add to process inefficiencies and complications during commercial production.
- Accordingly, there remains a need for improved processes for preparing perindopril that eliminate and reduce the drawbacks of the prior art in a convenient and cost efficient manner on a commercial scale.
- In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a process for the preparation of perindopril and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are provided, the process comprising condensing of an N-[(S)-1-carbethoxybutyl]-(S)-alanyl halide of formula II:
wherein X is a halide with an (2S,3aS,7aS)-2-carboxyperhydroindole of formula III:

wherein R may be hydrogen or a protecting group, and X is a halide, e.g., bromide, chloride, etc. Useful protecting groups include those represented by the formula Si(R1)(R2)(R3), wherein R1, R2 and R3 are independently a straight or branched alkyl or aryl group having from 1 to about 25 carbon atoms. The reaction can be carried out in an organic solvent at low to ambient temperature and in the presence of a base to facilitate formation of perindopril. The (2S,3aS,7aS)-2-carboxyperhydroindole of formula III may be present in a molar ratio of about 0.9:1 to about 1:1 moles per moles of the compound of formula II. - The reaction of a compound of formula II with a compound of formula III may be conducted in one or more organic solvents such as, for example, one or more anhydrous solvents. Suitable anhydrous solvents include, but are not limited to halogenated hydrocarbons, e.g., dichloromethane, dichloroethane, and the like; aromatic hydrocarbons, e.g., benzene, toluene, and the like; aliphatic hydrocarbons, e.g., hexane, heptanes, and the like; cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons, e.g., cyclopentane, cyclohexane, and the like; and mixtures thereof. Preferably, the solvent used is one or more chlorinated hydrocarbons.
- The reaction can also be carried out in the presence of one or more organic bases such as, for example, imidazole, triethylamine, diethylamine, pyridine, n-methyl morpholine and the like, with imidazole being preferred. Typically, the base is employed in molar proportions of about 2 to about 5 moles per mole of a compound of formula II, and preferably about 2 to about 4 moles per mole of a compound of formula II.
- The reaction may be carried out at low to ambient temperatures ranging from about −20° C. to about 30° C., and preferably from about 5° C. to about 10° C. The reaction time may range from about 1 hour to about 12 hours depending on the temperature employed.
- Perindopril erbumine may be formed in situ by treatment with tert-butylamine. After completion of the reaction, the pH may be adjusted to a level of about 4 to about 5 by addition of a suitable mineral acid, e.g., a hydrochloric acid medium. The organic layer may be separated, washed with water, dried and/or further reacted with tert-butylamine. After evaporation of the solvent, perindopril erbumine is obtained from conventional crystallization techniques.
- The N-[(S)-1-carbethoxybutyl]-(S)-alanyl halide may be formed by reacting N-[(S)-1-carbethoxybutyl]-(S)-alanine with a halogenating agent in a suitable anhydrous solvent and in the presence or absence of an inert gas. Suitable anhydrous solvents include any of those discussed hereinabove. Preferably, the solvent employed is one or more chlorinated hydrocarbons. Suitable inert gases include, but are not limited to, nitrogen, argon etc.
- The (2S,3aS,7aS)-2-carboxyperhydroindole may be reacted with a compound of formula II with the carboxy group protected or not protected. The protection group may be, for example, a silyl protecting group. This can be accomplished by converting the carboxylic acid to the silyl ester by reaction with a trialkyl or aryl silyl chloride in the presence of an organic base. The silyl protected (2S,3aS,7aS)-2-carboxyperhydroindole may then be reacted in situ with the N-[(S)-1-carbethoxybutyl]-(S)-alanyl halide.
- In the case where a protecting group is used, after completion of the reaction, desillyation can be carried out by adjusting the pH to about 4 to about 5 by addition of a suitable mineral acid. The organic layer is separated and after washing with water, dried and in situ reacted with tert-butyl amine to provide perindopril erbumine.

The mixture was heated to a temperature ranging from about 65° C. to about 70° C. to get a clear solution. The reaction mass was cooled very slowly to a temperature of about 25° C. in 2 hours and then further cooled to a temperature ranging from about 5° C. to about 10° C. and filtered. The filtered material was then dried under vacuum at a temperature of about 40° C. (Weight: 7.0 g, purity: >99.5% by HPLC).
- Specific optical rotation [α]n =−66 (C=1%, MeOH), IR (KBr) spectrum shows the following absorptions cm−1 3300, 2930, 1744, 1732 m 1644 m 1568. The 1H-NMR (CDCl3) shows the following signals at δ 4.28-4.12 (m, 1H), 4.18-4.09 (q,2H), 3.76 (m,2H) 3.53 (q, 1H), 3.1 (t, 1H), 2.32-2.14 (m, 2H), 2.01 (m, 1H), 1.75-1.62 (m, 4H), 1.32 (m, 2H), 1.30 (S, 9H), 1.28 (t, 3H), 0.88 (t, 3H). CI Mass shows m/z at 368 (base peak.) XRD matches with α-polymorph.
