The present invention is directed to an amorphous form, three novel
polymorph form of crystalline varenicline tartrate, namely Form D, Form E
and Form F. The present invention also provides processes of their
preparations and pharmaceutical composition comprising such material and
their use in therapy. Form D is new anhydrous varenicline tartrate, and
can be prepared from recrystallizing varenicline tartrate in a mixture of
methanol and water or a mixture of N,N-dimethylformamide and water. Form
E is a new varenicline tartrate monohydrate, and can be prepared
recrystallizing varenicline tartrate in a mixture of isopropanol and
water. Form F is another new varenicline tartrate monohydrate, and can be
prepared recrystallizing varenicline tartrate in a mixture of acetone and
water. The X-ray powder diffraction pattern (X-RPD), Fourier transform
infrared (FT-IR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and
thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques are used to characterize
amorphous form and crystalline polymorphic forms.
