Abstract:
Novel solid forms of imatinib mesilate comprising as active ingredient 4-[(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)methyl]-N-[4-methyl-3-[[4-(3-pyridinyl)-2-pyrimidinyl]amino]-phenyl]-benzamide methanesulfonic acid salt and as co-crystal former benzoic acid, fumaric acid or succinic acid are described. The said multi-component crystalline forms possess improved physical and biological properties with respect to the crystalline forms of the active pharmaceutical ingredient previously known.
Abstract:
The present invention primarily relates to molecular crystalline substances, preferably salts of Dasatinib in crystalline form, comprising a compound of formula 1, preferably a cation of a compound of formula 1, and a second compound selected from the group consisting of glutaric acid, nicotinic acid and saccharin, preferably an anion thereof. The invention is further related to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such a substance. Furthermore, the invention relates to processes for preparing said substances. The invention also relates to several aspects of using said substances or pharmaceutical compositions to treat a disease.
