Abstract

The invention relates to polymorphous crystal modifications of a DPP-IV inhibitor, the preparation thereof and the use thereof for preparing a medicament.

Claims

1. A method of preparing polymorph C of the compound 1-[(4-methyl-quinazolin-2-yl)methyl]-3-methyl-7-(2-butyn-1-yl)-8-(3-(R)-amino-piperidin-1-yl)-xanthine, the method comprising:

(a) refluxing a solution of 1-[(4-methyl-quinazolin-2-yl)methyl]-3-methyl-7-(2-butyn-1-yl)-8-(3-(R)-amino-piperidin-1-yl)-xanthine in methanol to provide a hot methanolic solution,

(b) cooling the hot methanolic solution to a temperature of 40-60°

C. to provide a cooled methanolic solution,

(c) adding tert-butylmethylether to the cooled methanolic solution to form a suspension,

(d) cooling the suspension first to a temperature of 15-25°

C. and then to a temperature of 0-5°

C. to provide crystals,

(e) suction filtering the crystals, and

(f) drying the crystals obtained in step (e) in vacuo at a temperature of 70°

C. to provide Polymorph C,

wherein Polymorph C loses water at a temperature of 30-100°

C. and exhibits further thermal effects at a temperature of about 150°

C. and about 175°

C. in a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the X-ray powder diagram of Polymorph C has characteristic reflections at the following d values:

12.90 Å

, 11.10 Å

, 6.44 Å

, 3.93 Å and

3.74 Å

.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the hot methanolic solution obtained in step (a) is filtered before cooling in step (b).
