Abstract: One aspect of the present invention relates to optically pure (S)-amlodipine malate. Another aspect of the present invention relates to (rac)-amlodipine malate. In a preferred embodiment, the compound is optically pure (S)-amlodipine L-malate. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising optically pure (S)-amlodipine malate. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method of preparing optically pure (S)-amlodipine malate, comprising admixing optically pure (S)-amlodipine with malic acid. Another aspect of the present invention relates to the various polymorphic and solvated forms of optically pure (S)-amlodipine malate. In another prefered embodiment the invention relates to polymorphic and solvated forms A-G. The present invention also relates to a method of preparing optically pure (S)-amlodipine malate, comprising combining a salt of optically pure (S)-amlodipine with a malate salt to give optically pure (S)-amlodipine malate.

Abstract: This invention provides solid pharmaceutical dispersions comprising a poorly soluble drug substance, as SR48692 or naproxen, xylitol and Transcutol, and a method of preparing such dispersions comprising the steps of dissolving the poorly soluble drug substance in Transcutol and adding the solution to xylitol. The dispersions exhibit good pharmaceutical properties and reduced levels of impurities and degradation products.
