FIELD: medicine, pharmaceutics.
SUBSTANCE: invention refers to a new crystalline η-modification of 4-[(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)methyl]-N-[4-methyl-3-[[4-(3-pyridinyl)-2-pyrimidinyl]-amino]-phenyl]benzamide methanesulphonate (having the international nonproprietary name imanitib mesylate), to a method for preparing it and a based pharmaceutical composition. The new modification may be used in pharmaceutical industry and medicine as an antileukemic cytostatic preparation for therapy of cancer. The new crystalline η-modification of imanitib mesylate is characterized by an individual unique set of planar distances (d, Ǻ) and related intensities (loτ, %) specified in the patent claim; as well as an endothermic melting effect equal to - (29.9±0.4) J/g at temperature (218.6±0.5)°C and IR-spectra within the ranges 450 to 4000 cm-1 and 5300 to 14000 cm-1. The method for preparing the η-modification of imanitib mesylate consists in the fact that an aqueous solution of imanitib mesylate is frozen in a liquid nitrogen medium at rate min. 80 degrees/min that is followed by sublimation dehydration for 22-27 hours.
EFFECT: preparing the new antileukemic cytostatic preparation for therapy of cancer.
