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: 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 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.

Abstract: New compounds useful as synthetic intermediates to synthesize perindopril, a new process for synthesizing perindopril, and new salts of perindopril.

Abstract: A one-pot industrial process for preparing 1,2,3,9-tetrahydro-9-methyl-3-[(2-methyl-1H-imidazole-1-yl)methyl]-4H-carbazol-4-one of Formula-(I) from 1,2,3,9-tetrahydro-9-methyl-4H-carbazol-4-one of Formula-(IV) involves reaction of Formula (IV) with HNR1R2 salt and paraformaldehyde, where R1,R2 are independently alkyl groups or together forms a cyclic alkyl group, in a solvent system of acetic acid and hydrocarbon solvent to form a crude mixture of intermediate compounds of Formula (III) and (VIII), which is converted to ondansetron (Formula (I)) without isolation by reaction with 2methyimidazole in a suitable solvent system in the same pot.

Abstract: The present invention discloses selective and complete reduction of pyridine ring in a biaryl system comprising ?-substituted or non-substituted benzene ring and relates more specifically, not exclusively, for the manufacture of methylphenidate, which is used for treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and also acts as central nervous system stimulant, by using palladium/C in a solvent such as C1-C4 alcohols in presence of molar quantities of organic and/or inorganic acids.

Abstract: The preset invention relates to a cost effective, high yielding, reproducible method for the manufacture of alendronic acid or its salt, such as sodium alendronate, from inexpensive and readily available pyrrolidone using phosphonating agents such as PCl3 in the presence of acids such as sulphonic acids, sulphuric acid or phosphoric acid, and pharmaceutical dosage forms of alendronic acid or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

Abstract: A process for preparation of gabapentin comprising a step of obtaining 1,1-cyclohexane diacetic acid monoamide from 1,1-cyclohexane diacetic acid anhydride, wherein said reaction is characterized by the use of ammonia precursor or pre-generated ammonia-isopropanol solution. The invention further discloses preparation of gabapentin and isolation of gabapentin in polymorphic Form II with high yield and purity.
