Abstract: The present invention provides novel alternative pharmaceutical compositions comprising amorphous atorvastatin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a controlled amount of one or more additional compounds selected from the group consisting of compounds of formula I (formed by ring opening of the epoxide of Formula II to form a diketo dihydroxy derivative), II (diketo epoxide derivative), III (di-epoxide derivative formed by ring closure of the heptanoic acid chain to form a cyclohexanoate substituent), IV (2-oxo derivative with the isopropyl group rearranged to the 3-position) and V (phenantrene derivative of the 2-oxo derivative), together with one or more suitable pharmaceutical excipients, which compositions have improved stability.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an improved, commercially viable and industrially advantageous process for the preparation of substantially pure Lercanidipine intermediate, 1,1,N-trimethyl-N-(3,3-diphenylpropyl)-2-aminoethyl acetoacetate. The intermediate is useful for preparing Lercanidipine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in high yield and purity. The present invention further provides a novel crystalline form of Lercanidipine hydrochloride and a process for its preparation. The present invention also provides a process for the preparation of amorphous form of Lercanidipine hydrochloride.

Abstract: Described herein is an improved, commercially viable and industrially advantageous process for the preparation of paliperidone intermediate 9-hydroxy-3-(2-chloroethyl)-2-methyl-4h-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one and its hydrochloride salt. The process provides the paliperidone intermediate in higher yield and reduced reaction time compared to the previously disclosed processes, thereby providing for production of paliperidone and its pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts in high purity and in high yield.

Abstract: Provided herein is a highly pure paliperidone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof substantially free of keto impurity, 3-[2-[4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]ethyl]-2-methyl-7,8-dihydro-6H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4,9-dione, a process for the preparation thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising highly pure paliperidone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof substantially free of keto impurity.
