Irinotecan was suspended in acetonitrile or acetone in accordance with the amounts shown in Table 1 and dissolved by adding, 6 mol/L hydrochloric acid. To each mixture solution, 1 mg of c-type crystals separately prepared was added and the solution was stirred at 22C for 25 to 46 hours. The formed crystals were obtained by filtration, dried under reduced pressure, and subjected to a moisture absorption process performed by a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution method until the crystals showed constant weight (about 80 hours). In this manner, the crystals of <strong>[97682-44-5]irinotecan</strong> hydrochloride were obtained. Table 1 shows the results of the preparations.

The results are shown in Figures 1 to 3. In the infrared absorption spectrum, strong absorption was observed at wavelengths of about 1757 cm-1, 1712 cm-1, 1667 cm-1 (Figure 1). In the powder X-ray diffraction, diffraction peaks (2theta) were observed at 9.15, 10.00, 11.80, 12.20, 13.00 and 13.40; however no strong peak was observed at 11.00, which is intrinsic to the b-type crystals (Figure 2). In the thermoanalysis (differential scanning calorimetry), an endothermic peak near 90C due to dehydration was not observed, which is intrinsically observed in the b-type crystals (Figure 3). The moisture content of the crystals was measured by the Karl Fischer method. As a result, the moisture content of No.3 was 3.96%. Therefore, it turned out that the crystals above were obtained in the form of sesquihydrates (calculation value: 4.15%). From the results above, it was confirmed that the crystals of <strong>[97682-44-5]irinotecan</strong> hydrochloride prepared in accordance with Nos. 1 to 4 are c-type, which are different from the b-type crystals conventionally crystallized from water. |
