Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for determining the suitability for distribution of a batch of rivaroxaban or of a pharmaceutical composition thereof. In particular, it also relates to two impurities of rivaroxaban, to their use as reference markers to determine the purity of a sample of rivaroxaban or a composition thereof, to analytical methods for determining the purity of a sample of rivaroxaban or a composition thereof and to a process of preparing rivaroxaban or pharmaceutical compositions thereof which are free or substantially free of such impurities.
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 rasagiline mesylate with improved flowability and compressibility and with advantageously reduced stickiness, to processes for the preparation thereof, and to the use thereof for milling and for preparing pharmaceutical formulations. Also, the invention relates to a method for improving the flowability and / or alleviating the stickiness of rasagiline mesylate having a very poor flowability and / or showing undesirable stickiness.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for preparing rimonabant. In particular, the invention relates to minimizing the presence and effects of certain by-products and impurities present in rimonabant occurring during the synthesis of rimonabant.
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.
