Abstract

The present disclosure discloses compositions comprising maribavir, methods of providing the same, and compositions providing intermediates useful in providing maribavir. Maribavir (((2S,3S,4R,5S)-2-(5,6-dichloro-2-(isopropylamino)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)-5-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-3,4-diol) is a benzimidazole riboside and is an orally available antiviral medication against cytomegalovirus (CMV).

Claims (23)

1. A composition of maribavir, Compound 2, and Compound 4, the composition comprising maribavir, Compound 2, and Compound 4, having the following structures:

wherein Compound 2 is present in an amount of 0.1% w/w or less relative to maribavir and Compound 4 is present in an amount of 0.1% w/w or less relative to maribavir.

2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein Compound 4 is present in an amount of from 0.01% to 0.1% w/w relative to maribavir.

3. The composition of claim 2 , further comprising Compound 3,

wherein Compound 3 is present in an amount of from 0.01% to 0.1% w/w relative to maribavir.

4. The composition of claim 3 , wherein Compound 2 is present in an amount of from 0.01% to 0.1% w/w relative to maribavir.

5. The composition of claim 4 , further comprising D-maribavir, wherein D-maribavir is present in an amount of 0.1% w/w or less relative to maribavir.

6. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a composition of claim 5 and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.

7. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a composition of claim 4 and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.

8. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a composition of claim 3 and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.

9. The composition of claim 2 , wherein Compound 2 is present in an amount of from 0.01% to 0.1% w/w relative to maribavir.

10. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a composition of claim 2 and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.

11. The composition of claim 1 , wherein Compound 4 is present in an amount of 0.05% w/w or less relative to maribavir.

12. The composition of claim 11 , wherein Compound 4 is present in an amount of from 0.01% to 0.05% w/w relative to maribavir.

13. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising Compound 3,

wherein Compound 3 is present in an amount of 0.1% w/w or less relative to maribavir.

14. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising D-maribavir, wherein D-maribavir is present in an amount of 0.1% w/w or less relative to maribavir.

15. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the maribavir has a particle size distribution (PSD) with a d (50) of between about 170 and about 350 μm.

16. The composition of claim 15 , wherein the d (50) is between about 170 and about 226 μm.
