Crystalline polymorphic forms of monosodium n-[-8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino]caprylate
The present invention relates to crystalline polymorphic forms of monosodium N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino] caprylate (“SNAC”), including two hydrates, a methanol solvate, and an ethanol solvate, of SNAC. More specifically, the present invention provide six polymorphic forms of SNAC (hereafter referred to as Forms I-V). The present invention also provides an amorphous form of SNAC.

2. The crystalline anhydrous monosodium N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino]caprylate of claim 1 , wherein the crystalline anhydrous monosodium N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino]caprylate exhibits X-ray powder diffraction pattern peaks at 17.04 and 23.28±0.2° 2Θ.
3. The crystalline anhydrous monosodium N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino]caprylate of claim 1 , wherein the crystalline anhydrous monosodium N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino]caprylate is prepared by a process comprising heating Form I, II, III, V, or VI of monosodium N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino]caprylate or a mixture thereof to a temperature between about 110° C. and the melting point of monosodium N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino]caprylate for a sufficient time to yield Form IV.
4. The crystalline anhydrous monosodium N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino]caprylate of claim 3 , wherein the Form II of monosodium N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino]caprylate is heated to between about 150° C. and the melting point of monosodium N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino]caprylate for a sufficient time to yield Form IV.
