Embodiment 1

[0366] Embodiment 1: prepare butanone compound by high-purity eplerenone raw material and prepare by this solvate Eplerenone Crystalline Form L

[0367] A. Preparation of Butanone Compounds

[0368] Under magnetic stirring at 900 rpm, 437 mg of high-purity eplerenone (purity > 99%, and the total content of diepoxide and 11,12-epoxide < 0.2%) was dissolved by heating to boiling on a hot plate. In 10ml butanone. Under continuous magnetic stirring, the resulting solution was cooled to room temperature. Once at room temperature, the solution was transferred to a 1°C bath and stirring was continued for 1 hour. The butanate solid was collected from the cold solution by vacuum filtration.

[0369] B. Preparation of eplerenone crystalline form L

[0370] The butanate solid prepared as described above was dried in an oven at 100° C. under normal pressure for 4 hours. The dried solid was confirmed to be pure Form L by DSC and XRPD analysis.

Embodiment 2

[0371] Example 2: Preparation of additional solvates from high-purity starting materials

[0372] According to substantially the same method as in Example 1, the following solvents were used instead of butanone to prepare additional solvates: n-propanol, 2-pentanone, acetic acid, acetone, butyl acetate, chloroform, ethanol, isobutanol , isobutyl acetate, isopropanol, methyl acetate, ethyl propionate, n-butanol, n-octanol, propyl acetate, propylene glycol, tert-butanol, tetrahydrofuran, and toluene.

Embodiment 3

[0373] Example 3: Preparation of Butanone Compounds by Vapor Diffusion Growth

[0374] A stock solution was formed by dissolving 400 mg of eplerenone (>99.9% purity) in 20 ml of methyl ethyl ketone by warming on a hot plate. 8 ml of this stock solution was diluted to 10 ml with butanone, and the resulting solution was referred to as an 80% diluted sample. 4 ml of this stock solution was diluted to 10 ml with butanone (40% diluted sample). 2 ml of this stock solution was diluted to 10 ml with butanone (20% diluted sample). Each diluted sample in a 20 ml scintillation vial was transferred to a dry jar containing a small amount of hexane as an anti-solvent. The dry jar was sealed and the hexane vapor was allowed to diffuse into the butanone solution. Crystals of eplerenone butanate grew in 80% of the diluted samples within 24 hours.

Abstract

A novel crystalline form (Form H) of the aldosterone receptor antagonist drug eplerenone is provided having a relatively rapid dissolution rate in aqueous media. Also provided are novel solvated crystalline forms of eplerenone that, when desolvated, can yield Form H eplerenone. Also provided is amorphous eplerenone. Pharmaceutical compositions are provided comprising Form H eplerenone, optionally accompanied by one or more other solid state forms of eplerenone, in a total unit dosage amount of eplerenone of about 10 to about 1000 mg, and further comprising one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. Processes are provided for preparing Form H eplerenone and for preparing compositions comprising Form H eplerenone. A method for prophylaxis and / or treatment of an aldosterone-mediated condition or disorder is also provided, comprising administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of eplerenone, wherein at least a fraction of the eplerenone present is Form H eplerenone.
