Title:
α-CRYSTAL POLYMORPHISM OF LEVONORGESTREL AND PRODUCTION METHOD THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2016006090
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel crystal polymorphism of levonorgestrel which is useful as an emergency contraceptive or the like, and to provide a production method thereof, as well as to provide a pharmaceutical composition.SOLUTION: The invention provides an α-crystal polymorphism of levonorgestrel in which a diffraction angle 2θ has a diffraction peak at 2θ=17.2° ±0.2°, 18.6° ±0.2°, 22.7° ±0.2°, 31.1° ±0.2°, and 35.5° ±0.2° in powder X-ray diffraction spectrum. When the strength of the diffraction peak at 2θ=18.6° ±0.2° is X, and the strength of the diffraction peak at 2θ=31.1° ±0.2° is X, the intensity ratio X/Xof Xand Xis 25/100-400/100. The invention also provides a method for producing the α-crystal polymorphism by mixing a dioxane solution of levonorgestrel with a mixed solvent that contains water and dioxane in a weight ratio of water/dioxane=50/0-95/5.
