Summary for Patent: 5,294,636
Title: Crystalline form of indole derivative and pharmaceutical method thereof
Abstract:A physical form of N-[4-[5 -(cyclopentyloxycarbonyl)amino-1-methyl-indol-3-ylmethyl]-3-methoxybenzoyl ]-2-methylbenzenesulphonamide substantially free of other physical forms, which form is crystalline, has an X-ray powder diffraction pattern with specific peaks occuring at 2.theta.=8.1, 13.7, 16.4, 20.5 and 23.7.degree. and an infra-red spectrum (0.5% in KBr) having sharp peaks at 3370, 1670, 1525, 1490, 1280, 890, 870 and 550 cm.sup.-1, a process for its preparation and pharmaceutical compositions containing it. Also disclosed is a flowable preparation of the physical form which is in the form of soft pellets, and a process for obtaining this preparation.

Assignee: Imperial Chemical Industries plc (London, GB2)
Application Number:07/805,426
Patent Claims: 1. A physical form of N-[4-[5-(cyclopentyloxycarbonyl)amino-1-methyl-indol-3-ylmethyl]-3-methoxy benzoyl]-2-methylbenzenesulphonamide, which form is crystalline, has an X-ray powder diffraction pattern with specific peaks occuring at 2.theta.=8.1.degree., 13.7.degree., 16.4.degree., 20.5.degree. and 23.7.degree.; an infra-red spectrum (0.5% in KBr) having sharp peaks at 3370, 1670, 1525, 1490, 1280, 890, 870 and 550 cm.sup.- ; and a melting point in the range of 190.degree. to 200.degree. C.

2. A pharmaceutical composition, which comprises an effective amount of a physical form of N-[4-[5-(cyclopentyloxycarbonyl)amino-1-methyl-indol-3-ylmethyl]-3-methoxy benzoyl]-2-methylbenzenesulphonamide as claimed in claim 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

3. A pharmaceutical composition as claimed in claim 2, which composition is suitable for administration by a metered dose inhaler, and comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable propellant.

4. A composition as claimed in claim 3, in which the propellant comprises trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorodifluoromethane, dichlorotetrafluoroethane or 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane.

5. A physical form of N-[4-[5-(cyclopentyloxycarbonyl)amino-1-methylindol-3-ylmethyl]-3-methoxyb enzoyl]-2-methylbenzenesulphonamide substantially free of other physical forms, which form is crystalline, has an X-ray powder diffraction pattern with specific peaks occuring at 2.theta.=8.1.degree., 13.7.degree., 16.4.degree., 20.5 .degree. and 23.7.degree.; an infra-red spectrum (0.5% in KBr) having sharp peaks at 3370, 1670, 1525, 1490, 1280, 890, 870 and 550 cm.sup.-1 ; and a melting point in the range of 190.degree. to 200.degree. C. and which is in the form of soft pellets consisting of an agglomeration of particles, at least 90% of which have a diameter of less than 10 microns, which pellets have a diameter in the range of from 50 to 900 microns.

6. A method for antagonising one or more of the actions of leukotrienes in a living mammal, which comprises administering to said mammal an effective amount of a physical form of N-[4-[5-cyclopentyloxycarbonyl)amino-1-methylindol-3-ylmethyl]-3-methoxybe nzoyl]-2-methylbenzene sulphonamide as claimed in claim 1.
