Abstract: The invention provides a method for obtaining the intermediate (II), useful for manufacturing Valsartan and a drug directed to a treatment of arterial hypertension or heart failure. The process comprises a) Imination of the aldehyde group of a compound (VII) by L-Valine (IV) salts with organic or inorganic bases and a polar solvent or water, where X means halogen or an —OSO2R group, where R is CF3, tolyl, methyl or F; to give an imine-type compound (VIII), where B+ is the protonated form of an organic base or an alkaline cation; b) Reduction of the imine group of the compound (VIII) followed by acidification, to give the compound (VI); and c) N-Acylation of the compound (VI) with valeryl chloride to give the compound (II). Steps a) and b) can be performed in a “one pot” reaction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to intermediates useful in the synthesis of Dolasetron and synthetic precursors thereof, as well as to processes for obtaining them. In addition, it refers to the hydrochloric salt of Dolasetron and polymorphic forms of Dolasetron and precursors thereof.

Abstract: It is provided a method for obtaining Irbesartan polymorph A, with few synthesis steps, by coupling the intermediate of formula (II) with the compound of formula (III), neutralising one of its alkaline salts in an aqueous medium and recrystallising the crude product obtained. The utilisation of said method obviates protection and deprotection of the tetrazole ring and is therefore of considerable interest for obtaining Irbesartan on a large industrial scale. The invention also refers to the synthesis intermediate of formula (II).

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for preparing intermediates useful in preparing Valsartan and to a process for preparing the latter, together with synthesis intermediates of formula (IV), (V) and (VI), useful for manufacturing a medicament for the treatment of arterial hypertension or heart failure. The process for preparing Valsartan permits it to be prepared on an industrial scale with high yields and without racemisation problems, in addition to using simple and available starting products. The invention also provides a process for preparing the intermediate of formula (VI), from an intermediate of formula (V) that does not require protection of the carboxylic acid prior to N-acylation.

Abstract: Cyclopropylamine salt of montelukast in crystalline form and its use for the preparation of highly pure amorphous montelukast sodium.

Abstract: New esters derived from substituted phenyl-cyclohexyl compounds, which are derived from Tramadol, process for obtaining them and their use for preparing a drug with analgesic properties. These new compounds of general formula (I) have a higher analgesic activity, a lower toxicity and a longer effective time period than Tramadol.

Abstract: The agent is the compound 3-{2-[4-(6-fluoro-benzo[d]isoxazol-3-yl)-3,6-dihydro-2H-pyridin-1-yl]-ethy l}-2-methyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrido [1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one having the formula (I) ##STR1## and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof; the process is based on the reduction of a selected pyridin salt by means of a metal borohydride; its preferred application is as an antipsychotic agent.
