摘要 |
The present invention provides for thermally stable forms of 2,4-diamino-5-methyl-6-[(3,4,5-trimethoxyanilino)methyl] quinazoline, or trimetrexate. A crystalline 2,4-diamino-5-methyl-6-[(3,4,5-trimethoxyanilino)methyl] quinazoline monohydrate, or trimetrexate monohydrate, belonging to the space group P{overscore (1(#2) and having a triclinic cell with dimensions of about a=7.699 Å, b=9.606 Å and c=13.012 Å is disclosed. A novel Schiff base compound, 2,4-diamino-5-methyl-6-[(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenylimino)-methinyl]quinazoline, is also disclosed. The present invention further provides novel methods of producing stable trimetrexate free base compounds, including crystalline trimetrexate monohydrate. The crystalline monohydrate form provides increased stability over the anhydrous form.
