Patent 5556839: Form II Dirithromycin (4470 words)
Dirithromycin is known to crystallize as a solvated crystal from acetonitrile; however, the acetonitrile solvate of dirithromycin is known to be unstable.
The Form II dirithromycin may be prepared via the acetone, 1-butanol, 1-propanol, or 2-propanol solvates of dirithromycin or from Form I. These solvates of dirithromycin, are novel compounds that facilitate the isolation of pharmaceutically acceptable dirithromycin Form II by removing impurities, as demonstrated by HPLC chromatogram.
Dirithromycin (Form II), magnesium carbonate, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium starch glycolate, hydroxypropyl cellulose, and magnesium stearate are thoroughly blended in a ribbon mixer or other type of suitable mixer such as a V-blender, conical mixer, etc. The resulting powder mixture is compacted using a roller compactor or equivalent dry granulating equipment.
