The present invention relates to a novel salt of (3aR,4S,7R,7aS)-2-[((1R,2R)-2-{[4-(1,2-benzisothiazol-3-yl)-piperazin-1-yl]methyl} cyclohexyl)methyl]hexahydro-1 H-4,7-methanisoindol-1,3-dione and hydrates thereof, to methods for preparing the novel salt and its hydrates. In one aspect, the present invention provides a compound which is lurasidone dihydrochloride. In another aspect, the present invention provides a process for preparation of lurasidone dihydrochloride comprising: (i) mixing lurasidone free base in an organic solvent system; (ii) subjecting step (i) mixture to acid proton source; and (iii) isolating compound of lurasidone dihydrochloride. |
