The following specification describes the nature of the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed:

ZRC-PD-005
FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention describes certain salts of Clopidogrel including their hydrates and other solvates, both in amorphous and crystalline forms, processes for their preparation and pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in medicine. Clopidogrel is marketed as (5)-(+)-Clopidogrel bisulfate, useful as an antiplatelet drug for the treatment of atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, strokes and vascular death. The present invention also describes the method of treatment of such cardiovascular disorders using the salts of the present invention or mixtures thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions containing them. The present invention also relates to the use of the salts of Clopidogrel disclosed herein and pharmaceutical compositions containing them for the treatment of cardiovascular disorders.
BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION
The compound of the invention referred herein, are pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compound known by its generic name Clopidogrel having structure (I)

(i)
It is available in the market as its bisulfate salt and is marketed by Sanofi-Synthelabo as "Plavix" having the general formula (II)





Clopidogrel is an inhibitor of platelet aggregation and is marketed as an antianginal agent, antiplatelet agent and is found to decrease morbid events in people with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and cerebrovascular diseases.
The therapeutic application of Clopidogrel as blood-platelet aggregation inhibiting agents and antithrombotic agent and its preparation is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,529,596. US Patent No 4,847,265 describes the process for the preparation of the hydrogen sulfate salt of Clopidogrel.

ZRC-PD-005
Polymorphs of Clopidogrel bisulfate has been described in US Pat. Nos. 6504040 and 6429210.
We have disclosed novel polymorphs of Clopidogrel bislufate in our application number
PCT/IN03/00053.
The present applicant has disclosed novel processes for preparing Clopidogrel base in US
6635763.
US Patent No. 4,847,265 discloses that the dextrorotatory enantiomer of formula (I) of
Clopidogrel has an excellent antiagregant platelet activity, whereas the corresponding
levorotatory enantiomer of (I) is less tolerated of the two enantiomers and is less active. US
Patent No. 4,847,265 also describes various other salts of the compound of formula (I), like its
hydrochloride, carboxylic acid and sulfonic acids salts. Specifically, salts of acetic, benzoic,
fumaric, maleic, citric, tartaric, gentisic, methanesulfonie, ethanesulfonic, benzenesulfonic and
lauryl sulfonic acids have been disclosed. However, according to this patent, these salts usually
precipitated in amorphous form and /or they were hygroscopic making them difficult to handle in
an industrial scale (page 1, paragraph 6 & 7 of the specification). Also, no data corresponding to
any of these salts are reported. The specification also describes salts of dobesilic acid (m.p. = 70
°C) and para-toluenesulfonic acid, having a melting point of 51 °C, the purification of which, as
accepted in the patent, proved to be difficult (page 1, paragraph 8).
Thus there remains a need to prepare salts of Clopidogrel which are stable, easy to handle, can be
purified and can be exploited on an industrial scale.
We hereby disclose certain pharmaceutically acceptable salts of Clopidogrel particularly the salts
of p-toluenesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid and methanesulfonie acids both in crystalline and
amorphous forms, including their hydrates and other solvates which are well characterized, free
flowing, easy to handle and having high purity.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention describes certain pharmaceutically acceptable salts of Clopidogrel including their hydrates and other solvates, both in crystalline and amorphous forms, process for their preparation and pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in medicine. More particularly, it describes new forms of Clopidogrel p-toluenesulfonate (or Clopidogrel tosylate), Clopidogrel benzenesulfonate (or Clopidogrel besylate) and Clopidogrel methanesulfonate (or Clopidogrel mesylate). Also described are processes for their preparation and pharmaceutical compositions containing the same and their use in medicine.
