Abstract: | Summary Direct resolution of four stereoisomers of the related compound of diltiazem hydrochloride, namely desacetyl diltiazem hydrochloride, was studied by both normal and reversed-phase chiral HPLC. The four stereoisomers were completely resolved on a Chiralcel OF column. The technique developed was applied to a chiral inversion study of desacetyl diltiazem hydrochloride. This inversion was observed neither in the solid state, in aqueous solution at 100°C for 3 h nor under visible light for 10h, but was observed in aqueous solution under UV irradiation.The (+)-(2S, 3S)-cis-desacetyl diltiazem hydrochloride degraded with a half-life of 1.9 h in aqueous solution under UV and epimerized to (+)-(2R, 3S)-trans-desacetyl diltiazem hydrochloride. Similarly, (+)-(2S, 3S)-cis-desacetyl diltiazem hydrochloride degraded about three times faster than diltiazem hydrochloride. Reverse epimerization of (+)-(2R, 3S)-trans-desacetyl diltiazem hydrochloride to (+)-(2S, 3S)-cis-desacetyl diltiazem hydrochloride was not observed.The overall degradation was the result of two competitive processes, the epimerization and the decomposition of the benzothiazepin ring. The degradation and epimerization rate of (+)-(2S, 3S)-cis-desacetyl diltiazem hydrochloride in solution under UV depended upon the solvent, the aqueous pH, and concentration. |
