Zusammenfassung: | Antihistamines are available in the form of fee bases as well as salt i.e. hydrochloride, maleate, tannate, etc. Frequently, it is necessary to utilise antihistamines in the form of tannate salt because such salts are generally quite stable and may be administered in such from without untoward side effects. Tannic acid, also known as tannin, is a well know naturally occurring substance. Tannic acid, which is available commercially, usually contain about 5 % of water, has a molecular weight of about 1700 and is typically produced from Turkish or Chinese nutgall. Antihistamine tannates, presently manufactured commercially, are relatively impure. Such tannates are prepared by the reaction of antihistamine free base with tannic acid and using a volatile solvent, isopropanol (IPA). The yield is only fair (around 70 %) and decomposition products e.g. 2-5 % along with significant amount of volatile solvent, isopropanol (6-10 %) remains with the product, which cannot be removed. According to present invention, the tannates are made by dissolving tannic acid and amine in different compatible solvents. The solvents can be halogenated alkanes or alkanoic esters. The examples of halogenated alkane is chloroform, and that of alkanoic ester is ethyl acetate. This avoids the use of isopropanol. This method gives tannates which are lighter in colour. Ephedrine and Pseudoephredine tannates are prepared by using ethyl acetate as a medium for reactions to get pharmaceutical grade tannate.
L'invention concerne des antihistaminiques sous forme de bases libres ainsi que de sels, p.ex., chlorhydrate, maléate, tannate, etc. Il est souvent nécessaire d'utiliser les antihistaminiques sous forme de sels de tannate car ces sels sont généralement assez stables et peuvent être administrés sous cette forme sans provoquer d'effets secondaires indésirables. L'acide tannique, également connu sous le nom de tanin, est une substance naturelle bien connue. L'acide tannique, disponible dans le commerce, contient habituellement environ 5 % d'eau, a une masse moléculaire d'environ 1700 et est souvent fabriqué à partir de la noix de galle de Turquie ou de Chine. Les tannates antihistaminique, produits actuellement pour le commerce, sont relativement impurs. Ces tannates sont préparés par la réaction d'un antihistaminique base libre avec de l'acide tannique et l'utilisation d'un solvant volatil, l'isopropanol (IPA). Le rendement est à peine satisfaisant (environ 70 %), et les produits de décomposi |
