Novel polymorphs of n-[2-amino-4-(4-fluorobenzylamino)-phenyl] carbamic acid ethyl ester and processes thereof

Abstract

The present invention relates to novel polymorphs of N-[2-amino-4-(4-fluorobenzylamino)-phenyl]carbamic acid ethyl ester, processes for preparing them, and pharmaceutical composition comprising them. In one aspect, the present invention relates to a novel crystalline polymorph of retigabine designated as crystalline Form I, characterized by XRPD having characteristic peaks at about 4.87, 5.04, 7.03, 9.74, 10.02, 11.6, 18.03, 19.9 and 28.5±0.2 degrees two-theta, which is substantially same as depicted in FIG. 1.
