Salts of a dihydroquinazoline derivative
The invention relates to besylate and tosylate salts of { 8 -fluoro- 2 -[ 4 -( 3 -methoxyphenyl)piperazin- 1 -yl]- 3 -[ 2 -methoxy- 5 -(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]- 3,4 -dihydroquinazolin- 4 -yl} acetic acid and solvates thereof, to the use thereof in a method of treating and/or preventing virus infections, and to the use thereof to produce drugs for use in treating and/or preventing diseases, in particular use as antiviral agents, in particular against cytomegaloviruses.

16 . A zwitterionic form of {8-fluoro-2-[4-(3-methoxyphenyl)piperazine-1-yl]-3-[2-methoxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-4-yl}acetic acid produced by
1 .) reacting {8-fluoro-2-[4-(3-methoxyphenyl)piperazine-1-yl]-3-[2-methoxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-4-yl}acetic acid in a solvent with benzenesulfonic acid or toluenesulfonic acid to obtain a crystalline salt,
2.) isolating the salt obtained in step 1.),
3.) treating the isolated salt obtained in step 2.) with a buffer solution at a pH in the range of 5 to 7 to release a zwitterionic form of {8-fluoro-2-[4-(3-methoxyphenyl)piperazine-1-yl]-3-[2-methoxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-4-yl}acetic acid, and
4.) isolating the zwitterionic form of {8-fluoro-2-[4-(3-methoxyphenyl)piperazine-1-yl]-3-[2-methoxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-4-yl}acetic acid obtained in step 3.).
