  • Patent number: 9018225
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods for preparation of a composition comprising mixed crystalline polymorphs rifaximin ? and rifaximin ?. For example, practice of a method of the invention can provide the composition comprising mixed crystalline polymorphs rifaximin ? and rifaximin ? wherein the rifaximin ? is present in about 3-12% (w/w) or is present in about 5-8% (w/w). The composition comprising mixed crystalline polymorphs rifaximin ? and rifaximin ? is prepared by dissolving raw rifaximin in a water-soluble organic solvent, for example ethanol, at reflux, then adding water to achieve a final mixed solvent of about 7:3 (v/v) solvent to water ratio, then cooling to 35-40° C. until crystallization commences, then further cooling with stirring to 0° C., then recovery of the crystallized material, and drying to a water content of between 2.5% and 5.0%, to provide the composition comprising mixed crystalline polymorphs rifaximin ? and rifaximin ?.

  • Publication number: 20120270881
    Abstract: Conformationally restricted, spatially defined 12-30 membered macrocyclic ring systems of formulae Ia and Ib are constituted by three distinct molecular parts: Template A, conformation Modulator B and Bridge C. These macrocycles Ia and Ib are readily manufactured by parallel synthesis or combinatorial chemistry in solution or on solid phase. They are designed to interact with a variety of specific biological target classes, examples being the agonistic or antagonistic activity on G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), ion channels and signal transduction pathways. In particular, these macrocycles act as antagonists of the motilin receptor, the FP receptor and the purinergic receptors P2Y1, as modulators of the serotonin receptor of subtype 5-HT2B, as blockers of the voltage-gated potassium channel Kv1.3 and as inhibitors of the ?-catenin-dependent “canonical” Wnt pathway. Thus they are showing great potential as medicaments for a variety of diseases.

    Abstract: Conformationally restricted, spatially defined 12-30 membered macrocyclic ring systems of type (I) are constituted by three distinct building blocks: an aromatic template a, a conformation modulator b and a spacer moiety c as detailed in the description and the claims. Macrocycles of type (I) are readily manufactured by parallel synthesis or combinatorial chemistry. They are designed to interact with specific biological targets. In particular, they show agonistic or antagonistic activity on the motilin receptor (MR receptor), on the serotonin receptor of subtype 5-HT2B (5-HT2B receptor), and on the prostaglandin F2•receptor (FP receptor). They are thus potentially useful for the treatment of hypomotility disorders of the gastrointestinal tract such as diabetic gastroparesis and constipation type irritable bowl syndrome; of CNS related diseases like migraine, schizophrenia, psychosis or depression; of ocular hypertension such as associated with glaucoma and preterm labour.
