Abstract: A process for preparing esomeprazole sodium comprises the steps of providing a solution of esomeprazole sodium in a solvent constituted mainly of methanol or only of methanol; and carrying out precipitation or crystallization of esomeprazole sodium from said solution. Esomeprazole sodium is preferably obtained from pure form of neutral racemate through chiral chromatography using methanol-based mobile phase, and a subsequent reaction with sodium source. Novel crystal and semicrystal forms of esomeprazole sodium can be provided repeatedly and in physically stable and highly pure form.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for removing an organic solvent from a salt of omeprazole, in particular a magnesium salt of omeprazole, a composition comprising a salt of omeprazole, in particular a magnesium salt of omeprazole obtainable by such a process, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising said composition or a salt of omeprazole, in particular a magnesium salt of omeprazole, in particular where omeprazole is S-omeprazole.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a process for preparing a magnesium salt of S-omeprazole. The S-omeprazole salt preferably has a water content below about 4.8% by weight, a magnesium content of about 3.4-4.0% by weight, calculated on the weight of anhydrous, solvent free S-omeprazole magnesium, and has an optical purity of at least about 85% entantiomeric excess (“e.e.”). In addition, the present invention provides a magnesium salt of S-omeprazole which is substantially free of neutral omeprazole, meaning that the product contains less than about 3% by weight of a sum of neutral S-omeprazole and neutral omeprazole. Moreover, the S-omeprazole magnesium according to the invention preferably has assay of related substances and degradation products of less than about 0.1% by weight as determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
