Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention discloses a process for the preparation of gadobenate dimeglumine complex in a solid form. In particular, said solid form is conveniently obtained by spray-drying a corresponding liquid suspension at a given temperature and concentration. The present invention is particularly advantageous for the industrial scale as the solid form may be obtained by employing water as a solvent, which is a non-toxic solvent, easy to handle and basically not requiring troublesome health or safety precautions.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for the preparation of a solid, pharmaceutical form of gadobenate dimeglumine compound of formula (I): comprising spray-drying an aqueous composition of said compound, wherein the form is a stable water soluble powder having a particle size from 1 μm to 200 μm, wherein said aqueous composition has a concentration from 0.2 M to 0.8 M gadobenate dimeglumine, and wherein the inlet temperature (T-inlet) of the spray-drier is comprised from 140° C. to 200° C. and the outlet temperature (T-outlet) is comprised from 70° C. to 120° C. 2. The process according to claim 1 , wherein said concentration is comprised from 0.45 M to 0.55 M. 3. The process according to claim 1 , wherein said aqueous composition is a purified water solution. 4. The process according to claim 1 , comprising an atomization of the aqueous composition by using a pressure or a two-fluid nozzle. 5. The process according to claim 3 , comprising an atomization of the aqueous composition by using a pressure or a two-fluid nozzle.
