- TWO CRYSTALLINE HYDRATE FORMS OF AMLODIPINE BENZENESULFONATE OF HIGH PURITY, PROCESSES FOR THEIR PREPARATION AND USE
-
The novel crystalline amlodipine benzenesulfonate dihydrate of high purity is disclosed, as well as the process for preparation of the novel crystalline amlodipine benzenesulfonate dihydrate of high purity and the crystalline amlodipine benzenesulfonate monohydrate of high purity, suitable for the preparation of pharmaceutical formulations for the treatment of cardiac diseases or hypertension, and their use as intermediate compounds in the improved process of purification of the nonhydrate benzenesulfonate (besylate) salt of amlodipine.The process for preparation of the crystalline amlodipine benzenesulfonate dihydrate is carried in the way that from the C1-C5 alcoholic solution of amlodipine benzenesulfonate with water while stirring at a temperature of 20°C or lower the crystals of pure amlodipine benzenesulfonate dihydrate are separated, and isolated.The process for preparation of the crystalline amlodipine benzenesulfonate monohydrate is carried in the way that from the C1-C5 alcoholic solution of amlodipine benzenesulfonate with water while stirring at a temperature of 30°C or higher the crystals of pure amlodipine benzenesulfonate monohydrate are separated, and isolated.

- Long-acting dihydropyridine calcium antagonists. 9. Structure activity relationships around amlodipine
-
The preparation of a range of 1,4-dihydropyridine analogues of amlodipine has been undertaken and their calcium antagonist activities on rat aorta have been evaluated.Increasing the size of the C5 ester group dramatically reduces calcium antagonist activity, a trend which would be compatible with the carbonyl group of that ester binding to the DHP receptor.Amlodipine analogues with extended C3 ester substituents also have lower potency than amlodipine, possibly because of disruption of a favourable interaction between the protonated amino group on the 2-substituentand the DHP receptor.Replacement of the 6-methyl substituent in amlodipine by alkoxyalkyl groups or electron-withdrawing groups is also detrimental to calcium antagonist activity. amlodipine / 1,4-dihydropyridine / structure activity relationship
