 ACE Inhibitors are medications that belong in
the class of medications known as
antihypertensive medications.
 ACE Inhibitors work on the Renin-
Angiotensin-Aldosterone System
 Benazepril, brand name Lotensin (Novartis), is
a medication used to treat high blood
pressure (hypertension), congestive heart
failure, and chronic renal failure. Upon
cleavage of its ester group by the liver,
benazepril is converted into its active form
benazeprilat, a non-sulfhydryl angiotensin-
converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor.
 ACE Inhibitors work in the lungs to inhibit
Angiotensin Converting Enzyme from turning
Angiotensin I into Angiotensin II.
 These medications cause an increase of
bradykinin, which inhibits kinase II, another
name for Angiotensin Converting Enzyme.
(Lehne, 2007, pg. 464)
 Blood Pressure is decreased due to a decrease in
blood volume, peripheral resistance, and cardiac
load.
 ACE Inhibitors, inhibit vasoconstriction and
release of aldosterone which inhibits the
retention of sodium and water.

 EARLIER Preparation of Benazepril
hydrochloride (CAS 86541-74-4): The
reaction of 2(R)-hydroxy-4-phenyl butyric
acid ethyl ester (I) with
trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride in
dichloromethane gives the corresponding
triflate (II), which is then condensed with the
amino benzazepinone (III) by means of NMM
in the same solvent to provide the target
benazepril.
ABOVE SCHEME-EP 1891014 B1
 Benazepril (CAS REGISTRY No. 86541-75-5) first disclosed inUS
4,410,520 is one of the well-known ACE inhibitors and is used
for the treatment of hypertension.
 Chemically, Benazepril, is (3S)-1-(carboxymethyl-[[(1(S)-1-
(ethoxycarbonyl)-3-phenylpropyl]amino]-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-
1H-[1]benzazepine-2-one.
 Benazepril is administered orally in the form of hydrochloride
salt (CAS REGISTRY No. 86541-74-4) represented by formula (I).
 The preparation of benazepril disclosed in US 4,410,520 , J. Med.
Chem. 1985, 28, 1511-1516, and Helvetica Chimica Acta (1988)
71, 337-342, as given in scheme 1, NEXT SLIDE involves
reductive amination of ethyl 2-oxo-4-phenyl butyrate (IV) with
sodium salt of (3S)-3-amino-1-carboxymethyl-2,3,4,5-
tetrahydro-1 H-benzazepin-2-one (III).
 In example 12 of US 4,410,520 , the crude benazepril (II)
obtained in a diastereomeric ratio of SS: SR=70:30 was
dissolved in dichloromethane and treated with HCl gas to
obtain benazepril hydrochloride. The benazepril
hydrochloride of formula (I) obtained as a foam was
crystallized from methyl ethyl ketone to obtain in a SS:
SR=95:5 diastereomeric ratio. Benazepril hydrochloride
was further purified by recrystallization from a mixture of
3-pentanone/methanol (10:1), melting point: 188-190 °C.
 Alternatively, in example 27 of US 4,410,520 , benazepril
hydrochloride was purified by refluxing in
chloroform, filtering, and washing first with chloroform
and then with diethyl ether. The melting point of
benazepril hydrochloride obtained as per this example is
184-186 °C.
 An alternative process disclosed in US 4,785,089 involves
nucleophilic substitution of (3S)-3-amino-1-t-
butoxycarbonylmethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-
benzazepine-2-one (V), using the chiral substrate ethyl
(2R)-2-(4-nitrobenzenesulfonyl)-4-phenyl butyrate (VI) in
presence of N-methylmorpholine (scheme 2). NEXT SLIDE
 The benazepril t-butyl ester (IIa) obtained in a
diastereomeric ratio of SS: SR=96:4 was hydrolyzed to
benazepril (II) and converted to hydrochloride salt by
treating with HCl gas in ethyl acetate.
 The crystalline suspension of benazepril hydrochloride in
ethyl acetate was diluted with acetone and filtered to
obtain in a diastereomeric ratio of SS: SR=99.1:0.9.
Further purification by refluxing in ethyl acetate afforded
benazepril hydrochloride in a diastereomeric ratio of SS:
SR=99.7:0.3, melting point of 181 °C.
 The Merck Index., 12th edition reports benazepril
hydrochloride crystals obtained from 3-
pentanone+methanol (10:1), melting point 188-190 °C
 The crystallization methods taught in the prior art does
not consistently produce a constant diastereomeric
composition of SS:SR diastereomer. This is evident from
the variation in the melting points of the benazepril
hydrochloride reported in three different working
examples, which varies between 181 to 190°C.
 The variation in diastereomeric composition of a
pharmaceutical substance is not desirable as it would
affect its efficacy. Hence there is a need for a
crystallization process that consistently produce a
constant diastereomeric composition of SS diastereomer in
greater than 99.8%.
 Coming to the crystalline form, it is well known in the
art that the solid form of a pharmaceutical substance
affect the dissolution rate, solubility and
bioavailability. The solid form may be controlled by
process employed for the manufacture of the
pharmaceutical substance. In particular the process
of purification of the solid substance by
crystallization is used to control the solid form
(Organic Process Research & Development, 2003, 7,
958-1027).
 It has been found that the crystalline form of
benazepril hydrochloride obtained from processes of
prior art documents is designated as crystalline Form
A as evident from the following documents.
 In a monograph published by Al-badar et al in Profiles of Drug
Substances, Excipients, and Related Methodology, Vol. 31, 2004,
p117-161; benazepril hydrochloride prepared by the process
disclosed in US 4,410,520 , and J. Med. Chem. 1985, 28, 1511-
1516, has been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction
pattern having 2θ peaks at 6.6, 9.9, 11.9, 13.7, 14.0, 14.9, 15.3,
16.4, 17.3, 18.9, 19.6, 20.2, 20.9, 21.5, 22.2, 25.2, 25.5, 26.4,
26.6, 27.1, 27.9, 29.8, 30.4, 31.0, 32.6, 33.3, 33.8, 34.4, 35.5,
38.2, 39.9, 43.9, 48.9.
 The major peaks are at 6.6, 9.9, 11.9, 13.7, 14.9, 16.4, 17.3,
18.9, 19.6, 20.2, 20.9, 21.5, 25.2, 25.5, 26.4, 26.6, 27.9, 31.0,
and 32.6.
 WO 2004/013105 A1 also discloses that by following the
processes of the prior art mentioned above, crystalline
benazepril hydrochloride is isolated in a form designated as
Form A having a powder X-ray diffraction pattern with 2θ values
at 6.7, 10.1, 12.0, 13.8, 15.1, 16.4, 17.4, 19.0, 19.6, 20.2, 20.9,
21.0, 25.3, 25.5, 26.4, 26.6, 27.6, 28.0, 31.0, 32.7.
 WO 2004/013105 A1 discloses that benazepril
hydrochloride Form A may be prepared from a
concentrated solution of the benazepril hydrochloride in a
solvent selected from C1-C10 alcohol, N,N-
dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone by adding an
anti-solvent selected from C4-C12 alkane or C1-
C10 acetate, preferably, hexane or ethyl acetate.
 WO 2004/013105 A1 in Example 5 describes a process of
making crystalline form A of benazepril hydrochloride by
passing HCl gas into a solution of benazepril free base in
diethyl ether and filtering the resulting suspension.
 Similarly, in Example 6, the benazepril hydrochloride was
dissolved in water free ethanol and the resulting solution
was added to heptane at 20° C to obtain the crystalline
Form A.
 Further, WO 2004/013105 A1 , mentions a list of
solvents and anti-solvents that can be used to
make benazepril hydrochloride crystalline Form
A. However, there is no enabling disclosure and
the document is silent on the diastereomeric
purity of the crystalline form A obtainable by the
process disclosed.
 The processes of crystallization and/or
recrystallization disclosed in the prior art do not
consistently produce benazepril hydrochloride
with constant diasteromeric content as evident
from the variation in the melting point of the
crystalline benazepril hydrochloride obtained
from crystallization from various solvents.

 A new synthesis of CGS-14824A is given: The reaction of 3-
bromo-1-phenylpropane (I) with KCN gives 4-phenylbutyronitrile
(II), which is hydrolyzed to the corresponding butyric acid (III).
The cyclization of (III) with polyphosphoric acid affords 1-
tetralone (IV), which is brominated to 2-bromo-1-tetralone (V)
and treated with hydroxylamine to give the oxime (VI). The
Beckman rearrangement of (VI) yields 3-bromo-2,3,4,5-
tetrahydro-1H-(1)benzazepin-2-one (VII), which is treated with
sodium azide to afford the azide derivative (VIII).
 The N-alkylation of (VIII) with ethyl bromoacetate (IX) by means
of KOH and tetrabutylammonium bromide in THF gives the N-
alkylated azide (X), which is reduced by catalytic hydrogenation
to the corresponding amine (XI). The hydrolysis of the ester
group of (XI) with NaOH yields the free acetic acid derivative (XII),
which is finally reductocondensed with ethyl 2-oxo-4-
phenylbutyrate (XIII) by means of sodium cyanoborohydride.

     The MerckIndex., 12th edition reports benazepril hydrochloride crystals obtained from 3- pentanone+methanol (10:1), melting point 188-190 °C  The crystallization methods taught in the prior art does not consistently produce a constant diastereomeric composition of SS:SR diastereomer. This is evident from the variation in the melting points of the benazepril hydrochloride reported in three different working examples, which varies between 181 to 190°C.  The variation in diastereomeric composition of a pharmaceutical substance is not desirable as it would affect its efficacy. Hence there is a need for a crystallization process that consistently produce a constant diastereomeric composition of SS diastereomer in greater than 99.8%.
