Abstract
The present invention provides an improved process for the preparation of Dalteparin sodium. The process is simple, commercially viable and industrially advantageous.
Claims11
An improved process for preparing Dalteparin sodium, comprising:
- (a) depolymerising heparin sodium with 2.5 to 3.5% by weight sodium nitrite in the presence of an acid to generate a product,
- (b) reducing the product with 2.0 mole equivalents or less of a reducing agent to the weight of heparin sodium, to obtain crude Dalteparin sodium,
- (c) isolating the crude Dalteparin sodium,
- (d) stirring the crude Dalteparin sodium in a solvent mixture to obtain a precipitate of Dalteparin sodium,
- (e) dissolving the Dalteparin sodium precipitate in water to generate a solution and subjecting the solution to ultra-violet irradiation at 254 nm wavelength and 4 to 40 W power for a time period of between 10 seconds and 60 seconds, and
- (f) lyophilizing the solution in presence of alcohol to obtain Dalteparin sodium in free powder form.

An improved process for preparing Dalteparin sodium, comprising:
- (a) depolymerizing an aqueous solution of heparin sodium with 2.5 to 3.5% by weight sodium nitrite in the presence of hydrochloric acid at a pH of 2 to 4 and at a temperature of 5 to 10° C. to generate a product,
- (b) reducing the product with 1.5 to 2.0 equivalents of sodium borohydride to the weight of heparin sodium, to obtain crude Dalteparin sodium,
- (c) isolating the crude Dalteparin sodium,
- (d) stirring the crude Dalteparin sodium in a solvent mixture to obtain a precipitate of Dalteparin sodium,
- (e) dissolving the Dalteparin sodium precipitate in water to generate a solution and subjecting the solution to ultra-violet irradiation at 254 nm wavelength and 4 to 40 W power for a time period of between 10 seconds and 60 seconds, and
- (f) lyophilizing the solution in presence of alcohol to obtain Dalteparin sodium in pure powder form and with N—NO content within limits.
