Abstract: A monoclinic crystalline form of asenapine maleate is described, which is characterized in that it is not micronised and has a particle size distribution characterized by a d90 of 40 ?m or less. A process for the preparation of a monoclinic crystalline form of asenapine maleate is also described, the process comprising the following steps: a) providing a mixture of monoclinic asenapine maleate and an organic solvent which, under the conditions of the process, acts as an antisolvent; b) stirring the mixture at a temperature between 15 and 60° C.; and c) collecting the crystals, wherein the organic solvent is selected from alcohols, ketones, ethers, esters, hydrocarbons or mixtures thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to co-crystals of tramadol and co-crystal formers selected from NSAIDs, processes for preparation of the same and their uses as medicaments or in pharmaceutical formulations, more particularly for the treatment of pain.

Abstract: The present invention refers to an improved method for the preparation of compound 1-(2,6-difluorobenzyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acid substantially free of its 3H-I isomer. The invention also refers to the use of said intermediate for the preparation of Rufinamide and for obtaining a new polymorphic form of Rufinamide, designed as Form R-5. The invention also refers to said new polymorph of Rufinamide, and to the composition containing it and its use as medicament. The new polymorph of Rufinamide shows good stability and appropriate physico-chemical properties for its manipulation on industrial scale. Polymorph Form R-5 will be suitable to use as pharmaceutical for the treatment of convulsions, especially for the treatment of epilepsy.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new method for obtaining Entacapone substantially free of Z-isomer from 3,4-dihydroxy-5-Nitrobenzaldehyde and N,N-Dimethylcyanoacetamide, or directly from a mixture of (E)- and (Z)-isomers of Entacapone, by formation of organic or inorganic salts, specially piperidine and sodium ones. A new crystalline form G of Entacapone can be obtained from this method in a fast, efficient, and simple way and substantially free of Z-isomer. Another object of the invention is a pharmaceutical composition comprising it.

Abstract: A process for obtaining the pharmaceutical active ingredient, levetiracetam, by means of deaminomethylation of a sufficiently pure enantiomer intermediate (S)-(II), or by means of deaminomethylation of an addition salt thereof with an acid, wherein R1 and R2 are either the same or different (C1-C6)-alkyl radicals, or else R1 and R2 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded form a radical selected from the group consisting of 1-pyrrolidinyl, 1-piperidinyl, 1-morpholinyl, 1-piperazinyl and 1-[4-(C1-C4)-alkylpiperazinyl]. The invention also comprises preparing the sufficiently pure enantiomer intermediate (S)-(II) by treating the corresponding chemically new racemic intermediate (II) with an amine resolving agent, followed by selective crystallisation of a diastereoisomeric salt thereof.
