FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to novel crystalline forms of L-alanine, N-[(S)-[[(\R)-2-

(6-amino-9H-purin-9-yl)- 1 methylethoxy]methyl]phenoxyphosphinyl]-, 1 -methylethyl ester hemi fumarate or Tenofovir Alafenamide hemi fumarate of Formula (I).

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

L-alanine, N-[(S)-[[(lR)-2-(6-amino-9H-purin-9-yl)-lmethylethoxy]methyl ]phenoxy phosphinyl]-,l -methylethyl ester, (2E)-2-butenedioate (2: 1) or Tenofovir Alafenamide hemi fumarate ( Hemi fumarate). Tenofovir Alafenamide hemi fumarate is a phosphonoamidate prodrug of Tenofovir (2 'deoxy adenosine monophosphate analog). Plasma exposure to Tenofovir Alafenamide hemi fumarate allows for permeation into cells and then Tenofovir Alafenamide hemi fumarate is intracellularly converted to Tenofovir through hydrolysis by cathepsin A. Tenofovir is subsequently phosphorylated by cellular kinases to the active metabolite Tenofovir diphosphate. Tenofovir diphosphate inhibits HIV replication through incorporation into viral DNA by the HIV reverse transcriptase, which results in DNA chain- termination.

Tenofovir specifically shows activity towards human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis B virus. Cell culture studies have shown that both Emtricitabine and Tenofovir can be fully phosphorylated when combined in cells. Tenofovir diphosphate is a weak inhibitor of mammalian DNA polymerases that include mitochondrial DNA polymerase γ and there is no evidence of toxicity to mitochondria in cell culture. Tenofovir Alafenamide hemi fumarate was approved by USFDA in 2015 and is marketed under the brand name GENVOYA®, is a four-drug combination of Elvitegravir, an HIV-1 integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI), Cobicistat, a CYP3A inhibitor, and Emtricitabine and Tenofovir Alafenamide (TAF), both HIVl nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and is indicated as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older who have no antiretroviral treatment history or to replace the current antiretroviral regimen in those who are virologically-suppressed (HIV-1 R A less than 50 copies per mL) on a stable antiretroviral regimen for at least 6 months with no history of treatment failure and no known substitutions associated with resistance to the individual components of GENVOYA.

Tenofovir has activity that is specific to human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis B virus. Cell culture studies have shown that both Emtricitabine and Tenofovir can be fully phosphorylated when combined in cells. Tenofovirdiphosphate is a weak inhibitor of mammalian DNA polymerases that include mitochondrial DNA polymerase γ and there is no evidence of toxicity to mitochondria in cell culture.

Tenofovir Alafenamide hemi fumarate is chemically known as L-alanine, N-[(S)-[[(1R)- 2-(6-amino-9H-purin-9-yl)-lmethylethoxy]methyl]phenoxy phosphinyl]-,l-methylethyl ester, (2E)-2-butenedioate).

The prior art process disclosed in prior art involves the stirring for longer hours (92 hours) for chiral enhancement. The present inventors surprisingly found that the reaction will complete with in the 3 hours. However, the chiral purity is around 65-80%. Even after preparing the Tenofovir Alafenamide with low diastereomeric purity, the present inventors are able to prepare the Tenofovir Alafenamide having a purity of greater than 99.5 % and free of diastereomeric impurities using the process as described in the present invention.

The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 min to 1 hour at same temperature (-30°C to -10°C), raised to room temperature. The organic layer was washed with water, 10% sodium di hydrogen orthophosphate solution twice. Followed by treatment with 10% potassium bi carbonate solution and with water. The organic layer was concentrated and co-distilled with acetonitrile under reduced pressure to obtain 9-[(R)-2-[{(S)-[{(S)-l-(isopropoxycarbonyl) ethyl] amino] phenoxyPhosphinyl] methoxy] propyl] adenine (Racemic Tenofovir Alafenamide in the ratio of R,S,S:R,R.S=65-80:35-20).

Cooled the reaction mass to room temperature and stirred the reaction mass for 12 hours to 14 hours at same temperature Further, cooled the reaction mass to 0-5°C and stirred the mass for 4-5 h. Filtered the reaction mass and washed withabove used solvent. The wet compound was taken into flask and charged Isopropyl alcohol. Heated the reaction mass to 70-75°C and maintained for 30 min to 1 hour to get clear solution. Cooled the reaction mass to 45-50°C and charged solvent selected from alcohol such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, isobutanol; ether such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, methyl t-butyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, 1 .4- dioxane, 2-methoxyethanol, anisole or nitrile solvents such as acetonitrile or propionitrile or mixtures thereof. Cooled the reaction mass to room temperature and stirred for 3-4 h at same temperature. Filtered the reaction mass and washed with same solvent and dried the solid under vacuum at 50°C for 6 hours to 8 hours to yield pure Tenofovir Alafenamide.

The above disclosed process may be performed by using seeding process, Tenofovir Alafenamide obtained in the above stage having chiral purity of above 99% may be used for performing seeding. The present inventors surprisingly performed this process by using a single solvent.

However, the prior art process involves the use of saltification technique, which is difficult and involves tedious work up to remove the unwanted impurities/by products and salts.

Even after the diastereomeric purity of Tenofovir Alafenamide is around 70%.The present inventors successfully removed the diastereomeric impurity by following the process as disclosed in the present invention to yield highly pure Tenofovir Alafenamide hemi fumarate free of diastereomeric impurities. Tenofovir Alafenamide hemi fumarate obtained by the present invention is having an enantiomerically purity of greater than 99.5% and substantially free of diastereomeric impurities.

The above obtained Tenofovir Alafenamide was dissolved in amyl alcohol and methanol and 0.4 moles to 0.6 moles of Fumaric acid was added and stirred for 30 min at room temperature. The above mass was passed through micron filter and washed with methanol. The filtrate mass was distilled out below 3 volumes with respect to batch size under reduced pressure at below 50°C. The reaction mass was heated to 60-65 °C, maintained for 30 min and cooled to room temperature. Cyclohexane was added in to reaction mass and cooled to 0-5°C and maintained for 5 h. The product was isolated by filtration, washed with Cyclohexane and dried the compound at 60-65 °C for 10-12 h under reduced pressure to yield Tenofovir Alafenamide Fumaric acid salt.
