Abstract: The present invention discloses an isolation and purification process for mycophenolic acid obtained from the fermentation process. Invention further discloses preparation of sodium salt of mycophenolic acid and mycophenolate mofetil from mycophenolic acid.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an industrial preparation of Quetiapine by the reaction of 11-piperazinyldibenzo[b,f][1,4]-thiazepine or its salt with 2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethanol in presence of an organic or inorganic base under neat or aqueous condition to form 11-[4-{2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethyl}-1-piperazinyl]dibenzo[b,f]-[1,4]thiazepine. The quetiapine free base obtained is further converted to its hemi-fumarate salt.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a novel process for preparation of atovaquone. The process includes reacting 1,4-naphthoquinone with trans-4-(4-chlorophenyl) cyclohexane carboxylic acid followed by halogenation to obtain a dihalo-compound. Further, dehydrohalogenation of the dihalo-compound produces a monohalogeno-compound which under goes hydrolysis to produce atovaquone. The invention also discloses atovaquone in a substantially pure and well defined polymorphic form designated as “Form IPCA-ATO,” and the preparation thereof.

Abstract: The present invention discloses novel processes for preparing optically active sulphoxide compounds of formula I by asymmetric oxidation of prochiral sulphide compounds of Formula II. More particularly, the invention discloses processes for preparation of optically active proton pump Inhibitors (PPIs) or their optically active precursor (=intermediate) compounds (Formula I) that can be converted into pharmaceutically useful PPIs.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparation of isotretinoin and more specifically, to a purification process for obtaining highly pure isotretinoin that is useful as a keratolytic agent, particularly useful for the treatment of acne. The process involves treating isotretinoin containing metal contamination and/or other impurities with a base in a suitable solvent to form a solution of isotretinoin, followed by adsorption, precipiation, and filtration or centrifugation.

Abstract: The present invention describes an improved industrial process for crystallizing out polymorph ‘Form I’ of (+) clopidogrel hydrogen sulphate (also called clopidogrel bisulphate) in) from either a Type-1 solvent or liquid characterized by comprising two or more functional groups or their mixtures thereof; or a Type-II solvent and/or solvent mixture selected from the group of methyl ethyl ketone, cyclopentylmethyl ether, dipropylglycolether, dibutylglycol ether, propylmethyl cellosolve, butylmethylcellosolve, propylethylellosolve, butylethylcellosolve or their cross combinations in a reproducible manner without detectable contamination of polymorph designated as ‘Form II’. The invention also discloses improvements in the preparation of clopidogrel free base and process for recovery and recycling of resolving agent camphor sulphonic acid.

Abstract: An improved process for the manufacture of Clopidogrel starting from 2-(2-thienyl) ethylamine, which eliminates the isolation of an unstable intermediate like 2-(2-thienyl) ethyl formimine by subjecting it to a one pot cyclization to get 4, 5, 6, 7-tetrahydrothieno (3,2-c) pyridine of Formula II and further reacting with halo-compound of Formula III (where X is Cl or Br) at 20 to 90° C. temperature characterized in a solvent like water and/or dichloroethane in presence of organic or inorganic bases is disclosed herein. This invention further discloses a process for resolution of racemic Clopidogrel into its optical antipodes and converting the dextroclopidogrel base into its known polymorphs namely ‘Form I’ or ‘Form II’ in solvents selected from methyl propyl ketone, methyl isopropyl ketone, diethyl ketone or their mixture thereof, mixture of ethyl acetate and methyl propyl ketone, mixture of ethyl acetate and methyl isopropyl ketone, or mixture of ethyl acetate and diethyl ketone or ethyl acetate.
