Abstract:
Disclosed are diethyl 4-(4-fluorobenzylamino)-l,2-phenylenedicarbamate (IV) and salts thereof, which are useful as reference markers and reference standards for analyzing samples comprising retigabine or salts thereof. Also disclosed is a process for preparing a compound (IV) and salts thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention is concerned with a process of preparing (R)-lacosamide. The process comprises providing an (R,S)-lacosamide precursor and contacting the same with at least an enzyme in the presence of a solvent. The enzyme either stereoselectively hydrolyzes or acetylates an (R)- or (S)-enantiomer of the (R,S)-lacosamide precursor. The process further comprises where appropriate also concurrently, or successively, employing one or more reagents capable of converting the hydrolysed or acetylated (R)- or (S)-enantiomer to (R)- lacosamide.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for reducing the residual amount of p-chloroaniline in chlorhexidine. Also, the invention relates to a process for preparing chlorhexidine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which is free of potential genotoxicity. In addition, the invention refers to the said chlorhexidine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which is free of potential genotoxicity. Further, the invention relates to an analytical HPLC method for the determination of potentially genotoxic impurities in samples of chlorhexidine, or of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The invention also relates to stabilized chlorhexidine digluconate salt free of potential genotoxicity in aqueous solution, and to a method for stabilizing chlorhexidine digluconate salt free of potential genotoxicity in aqueous solution.
Abstract:
The invention relates to processes for preparing rasagiline mesylate that avoid the use of alcohol solvents, thereby producing rasagiline mesylate free of any alkyl mesylates, including isopropyl mesylate. The invention further relates to processes for purifying rasagiline mesylate to obtain a product free of alkyl mesylates, and to the thus obtained rasagiline mesylate.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for differentiating and quantifying the enantiomers, thereby determining the enantiomeric purity, of darifenacin and its intermediate compounds and salts thereof. In addition, the invention relates to a method for differentiating and quantifying the enantiomers, thereby determining the enantiomeric purity of compounds of formula (I): wherein Y is hydrogen or a substituent of the formula (II): including the differentiation and quantification of compounds of formula (I) of varying enantiomeric purity from their corresponding enantiomers. The invention further relates to a process for preparing enantiomerically pure darifenacin using enantiomerically pure starting compounds which have been previously differentiated and quantified according to the method of the invention.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing racemic narwedine (which can be can be kinetically resolved to yield (-)-narwedine and which is the biogenic precursor of (-)- galanthamine) and the use thereof as a starting material for producing (-)-galanthamine. The invention further includes processes for preparing (-)-galanthamine and (-)-galanthamine hydrobromide, as well as related novel compounds.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for manufacturing desvenlafaxine free base and salts or solvates thereof, comprising O-demethylating venlafaxine by treatment with 2- (diethylamino) ethanethiol free base or its hydrochloride salt.
