Abstract

In the course of developing 2-[[[2-[(hydroxyacetyl) amino]-4-pyridinyl] methyl] thio]-N-[4-(trifluoromethoxy) phenyl]-3-pyridinecarboxamide (compound A), there are the multiple problems: 1) compound A or its salt is difficult to be recrystallized, the storage stability largely differs depending on the kind of the salt, and it is very difficult to obtain a salt of compound A having excellent storage stability; 2) in a crystallization process of compound A, it is very difficult to control a crystal polymorph, and 3) compound A (free body) causes mineral deposition in the stomach when it is orally administered repeatedly. For solving these problems, we made examination focusing on the kind of the salt and, as a result, found that 1) benzenesulfonate of compound A does not decompose by light, humidity and other factors in a 1-week preliminary stability test (severe test), and has no problem in its storage stability, 2) a method of selectively producing two kinds of crystal forms of benzenesulfonate of compound A, and that 3) no mineral deposition in the stomach is observed even after a 4-week repeated oral administration.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method of producing benzenesulfonate of 2-[[[2-[(hydroxyacetyl) amino]-4-pyridinyl] methyl] thio]-N-[4-(trifluoromethoxy) phenyl]-3-pyridinecarboxamide, comprising the step of adding 2-[[[2-[(hydroxyacetyl) amino]-4-pyridinyl] methyl] thio]-N-[4-(trifluoromethoxy) phenyl]-3-pyridinecarboxamide to an organic solvent solution containing benzenesulfonic acid.

2. A method of producing benzenesulfonate of 2-[[[2-[(hydroxyacetyl) amino]-4-pyridinyl] methyl] thio]-N-[4-(trifluoromethoxy) phenyl]-3-pyridinecarboxamide, comprising the step of adding at least either of benzenesulfonic acid and its hydrate to an organic solvent solution containing 2-[[[2-[(hydroxyacetyl) amino]-4-pyridinyl] methyl] thio]-N-[4-(trifluoromethoxy) phenyl]-3-pyridinecarboxamide.

3. The production method according to claim 1 , wherein the organic solvent is a non-protonic polar solvent or cyclic ether.

4. The production method according to claim 3 , wherein the non-protonic polar solvent is dimethylsulfoxide or N,N-dimethylformamide.

5. The production method according to claim 3 , wherein the cyclic ether is tetrahydrofuran.
