Claims (34)

1. A composition comprising:

a) at least 98.0% N-{[(2R)-2-hydroxy-3-piperidin-1-ylpropyl]oxy}pyridine-3-carboximidoyl chloride 1-oxide citrate;

b) about 1.0% to about 1.9% N-{[(2S)-2-hydroxy-3-piperidin-1-ylpropyl]oxy}pyridine-3-carboximidoyl chloride 1-oxide, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and

c) about 0.05% to about 0.1% methyl (Z)—N-(2-hydroxy-3-(piperidin-1-yl)propoxy)nicotinimidate 1-oxide, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is a pharmaceutical composition.

3. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 2 , wherein the composition further comprises less than 2 ppm N-nitrosopiperidine.

4. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 3 , wherein the composition comprises about 0.8 to about 2 ppm N-nitrosopiperidine.

5. An oral formulation comprising the composition of claim 1 and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

6. The oral formulation of claim 5 , wherein the N-{[(2R)-2-hydroxy-3-piperidin-1-ylpropyl]oxy}pyridine-3-carboximidoyl chloride 1-oxide citrate is present at a dosage from about 50 mg to about 500 mg.

7. The oral formulation of claim 5 , wherein the oral formulation comprises from about 20% to about 60% w/w of N-{[(2R)-2-hydroxy-3-piperidin-1-ylpropyl]oxy}pyridine-3-carboximidoyl chloride 1-oxide citrate.

8. The oral formulation of claim 5 , comprising N-{[(2R)-2-hydroxy-3-piperidin-1-ylpropyl]oxy}pyridine-3-carboximidoyl chloride 1-oxide citrate at a dosage of about 47 mg, about 62 mg, about 93 mg, or about 124 mg.

9. A unit dosage form of the composition of claim 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.

14. A method of treating Niemann Pick disease, type C in a subject in need thereof, wherein the subject is administered a unit dosage form of claim 9 .

15. A composition comprising:

a) at least 98.0% N-{[(2R)-2-hydroxy-3-piperidin-1-ylpropyl]oxy}pyridine-3-carboximidoyl chloride 1-oxide citrate;

b) about 1.0% to about 1.9% N-{[(2S)-2-hydroxy-3-piperidin-1-ylpropyl]oxy}pyridine-3-carboximidoyl chloride 1-oxide, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and

c) about 0.8 to about 2 ppm N-nitrosopiperidine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

16. The composition of claim 15 , wherein the composition is a pharmaceutical composition.

17. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 16 , wherein the composition further comprises less than about 0.1% methyl (Z)—N-(2-hydroxy-3-(piperidin-1-yl)propoxy)nicotinimidate 1-oxide, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
