A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11661405B2) discloses a method for producing different crystalline forms of ANAVEX2-73, a compound with potential therapeutic applications. The method involves crystallizing ANAVEX2-73 in a supercritical fluid (SCF) environment, specifically using supercritical carbon dioxide.

The method described in claim 2 provides more details on the crystallization process. It involves creating a solution of ANAVEX2-73 in a solvent and introducing this solution to the SCF environment. The ANAVEX2-73 then crystallizes within the SCF, forming crystals. These crystals are then isolated, resulting in the desired crystal Form I, Form II, or Form III of ANAVEX2-73.

Claim 3 specifies the various solvents that can be used in the method. These solvents include ethanol, acetonitrile, isopropyl alcohol, trifluoroethanol, acetone, and several others. The use of different solvents allows for flexibility in the crystallization process, potentially influencing the properties of the final crystal forms.

Lastly, claim 4 provides information on the conditions of the SCF environment. The pressure ranges from about 85 bar to about 200 bar, while the temperature is approximately 40°C. These specific conditions are crucial for achieving the desired crystalline forms of ANAVEX2-73.

This patent reveals a novel method for producing different crystalline forms of ANAVEX2-73 using a supercritical fluid environment. The use of supercritical carbon dioxide as the SCF and the inclusion of various solvents offer versatility in the process, potentially leading to different crystal forms with distinct properties. The disclosed method provides a valuable contribution to the field of pharmaceutical research and development, as it allows for the production of ANAVEX2-73 in specific crystal forms, which may have different therapeutic effects.
