ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a process for preparing highly pure Temozolomide base which includes recovery from the purification mother liquors by using an anionic exchange resin. By treating Temozolomide hydrochloride with a mixture of an organic acid, a water miscible organic solvent, and water, Temozolomide free base is obtained in an acidic medium. Due to the high sensitivity of Temozolomide to basic pH values the recovery-including process is especially advantageous because it enables obtaining high yields of highly pure Temozolomide base in acidic conditions.The process for producing Temozolomide base includes hydrolysis of the starting material 8-cyano-3-methyl-[3H]-imidazo[5,1-d]-tetrazin-4-one in acidic medium to obtain highly pure Temozolomide hydrochloride in high yield.
