Abstract
An amorphous object of (3E)-1-[l(s)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)ethyl]-3-[3-methoxy-4-(4methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzylidene]piperidine-2-one, which is represented by the formula (1) and has Aβ-production inhibitory activity. The amorphous object has such satisfactory properties that it has excellent solubility, is stable, does not readily become a crystalline form, and has low hygroscopicity. It is hence suitable for use in pharmaceutical preparations.
Claims4
An amorphous compound of (3E)-1-[(1S)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)ethyl]-3-[3-methoxy-4-(4-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzylidene]piperidin-2-one made by:
- mixing (3E)-1-[(1S)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)ethyl]-3-[3-methoxy-4-(4-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzylidene]piperidin-2-one with methanol;
- dissolving the (3E)-1-[(1S)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)ethyl]-3-[3-methoxy-4-(4-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzylidene]piperidin-2-one by heating the mixture to 30 to 60° C.;
- and
- distilling off said methanol under reduced pressure, thereby producing said amorphous compound of (3E)-1-[(1S)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)ethyl]-3-[3-methoxy-4-(4-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzylidene]piperidin-2-one.
A method of making an amorphous compound of (3E)-1-[(1S)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)ethyl]-3-[3-methoxy-4-(4-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzylidene]piperidin-2-one, said method comprising:
- mixing (3E)-1-[(1S)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)ethyl]-3-[3-methoxy-4-(4-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzylidene]piperidin-2-one with methanol;
- dissolving the (3E)-1-[(1S)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)ethyl]-3-[3-methoxy-4-(4-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzylidene]piperidin-2-one by heating the mixture to 30 to 60° C.;
- and
- distilling off said methanol under reduced pressure, thereby producing said amorphous compound of (3E)-1-[(1S)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)ethyl]-3-[3-methoxy-4-(4-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzylidene]piperidin-2-one.
