42−, a new dibenzothiazepine antipsychotic, has international approvals for the treatment of schizophrenia. In the tricyclic framework, the central thiazepine ring has a boat conformation and the dihedral angle between the planar benzene rings is 108.6 (1)°. The protonated piperazine ring exhibits a chair conformation with its ethoxyethanol side chain oriented equatorially. The fumarate anion possesses a centre of symmetry. The quetiapinium and fumarate ions are connected by O—H
O and N—H
O hydrogen bonds.

To obtain crystals suitable for X-ray studies, quetiapine fumarate (procured from Ind-Swift Laboratories Ltd, Punjab, India) was dissolved in a methanol–water solution (95:5) and the solution was allowed to evaporate slowly.
The H atom on N3 was located in a difference density map and refined freely. All other H atoms were positioned geometrically and treated as riding, with C—H distances in the range 0.93–0.98 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(CH).

Special details top
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |

Quetiapine, marketed by AstraZeneca under the brand name Seroquel, is a new atypical antipsychotic licensed for the treatment of schizophrenia (Lieberman, 1996). The Seroquel formulation is a fumarate salt. Quetiapine is a novel dibenzothiazepine derivative with its chemical structure reminiscent of that of other antipsychotics, e.g. clozapine and olanzapine. It is a dopamine, specifically D1 and D2 dopamine, inhibitor. Compared to conventional antipsychotics, such as chlorpromazine and haloperidol, quetiapine and other atypical antipsychotics provide superior efficacy or, less side effects, particularly extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) (Peuskens & Link, 1997; Arvanitis & Miller, 1997). Quetiapine has a well tolerated side effect profile and in long term open label extension studies is found to be popular with patients with high levels of patient acceptability and satisfaction (Casey, 1996). Our interest in the crystal structure of (I) is in continuation of our on-going programmes on the structural elucidation of drug molecules and to gain further insight into structure–activity relationships.
The asymmetric unit of (I) consists of one singly charged quetiapine cation and one-half of a doubly charged fumarate anion; the latter is completed by inversion symmetry (Fig. 1). Bond lengths and angles in quetiapine do not differ significantly from the expected values (Table 1). The C—S bonds are symmetrical. The protonation site of the cation is established as N3. The N—C bonds at N3 are lengthened [mean value 1.494 (2) Å compared to 1.430 (2) Å for N2], as would be expected for a protonated system. Consequently, N3 shows quaternary character and bears a positive charge in a tetrahedral configuration, with bond angles ranging from 110.7 (1) to 114.5 (1)°. The positive charge of the cation is balanced by the negative charge of the fumarate anion which is connected to the cation via N—H···O and O—H···O hydrogen bonding (Table 2).
The conformation of the central thiazepine ring in the (6,7,6)-tricyclic ring system can be described as a boat, with the atoms common to the benzene rings (C1, C2, C9 and C4) as the basal plane, the S atom as the bow and the N1═ C3 bridge as the stern [puckering parameters (Cremer & Pople, 1975) are q2 = 1.009 (2), q3 = 0.291 (2) Å, QT = 1.051 (1), ϕ1 = 50.6 (1)°, ϕ2 = −107.4 (3)° and θ = 73.9 (1)°]. The bow angle is 130.5 (1)° and the stern angle is 138.5 (1)°. This facilitates the dibenzothiazepine ring skeleton to form a flattened V-shaped conformation. A similar conformation is observed in the crystal structures of the related antipsychotic agents amoxapine, clozapine, loxapine, loxapine succinate monohydrate, clothiapine-modified, clothiapine, olanzapine, olanzipinium nicotinate, oxyprothepine, and metitepine maleate. Least-squares plane calculations through the aromatic rings flanking the thiazepine ring show that benzene ring B is more planar [Σ(Δ/σ)2 = 23.7] than benzene ring A [Σ(Δ/σ)2 = 438.9]. The dihedral angle (χ) between the aromatic rings flanking the thiazepine ring planes is 108.6 (1)° and falls in the range 104–127.2° observed for related antipsychotic agents (Table 3). Incidentally, molecular modeling of quetiapine using HYPERCHEM (Hypercube, 1995) predicts this angle to be 145° (Lien et al., 1996). A superimposed fit of related antipsychotic drugs with the central thiazepine ring atoms of (I) shows significant structural similarity (Fig. 2).
A piperazine ring attached to the tricyclic system and its orientation with respect to the tricyclic system is essential for activity (Chakrabarti et al., 1982). The piperazine ring is in a normal chair conformation. The thiazepine nucleus can be viewed as being in equatorial orientation to the piperazine ring. Interestingly, in related antipsychotics, the corresponding torsion angles are observed as similar (Table 3). The ethoxyethanol side chain at the cationic N-atom site of the piperazine ring occupies an equatorial orientation and is in a folded conformation. The torsion angles about C19, O1, C20 and C21 indicate that these atoms do not have fully extended bonds, suggesting possible accommodative aspects of the receptor site of dopamine. However, the solid-state conformation need not reflect the conformational preference at the receptor (or in solution).
It has been shown that these drugs are capable of competing with dopamine in synaptosinal preparations (Seeman et al., 1975; Burt et al., 1975). The relationship of the protonated piperazine ring system to the aromatic ring system may be important for neuroleptic activity (Horn & Snyder, 1971). Some more parameters were compiled in Table 3. These data show a remarkable similarity in the disposition of the molecular fragments for the analyzed compounds and may be useful for postulating receptor interactions towards structure–activity relationship.
The molecular topography of this class of drugs studied by X-ray crystallography features some important structural and conformational determinants (Fig. 3): (a) two benzene rings (A and B) linked by a seven-membered ring are drawn towards each other to form a semi-rigid V-shaped conformation; (b) the central seven-membered ring consisting of one or two heteroatoms, similar or dissimilar, exists in a boat conformation; (c) the conformation of the piperazine ring is in a chair form.
The unit-cell packing (Fig. 2) shows the hydrogen bond which binds the quetiapine cationic species to the anionic fumarate. The protonated distal atom N3 of the piperazine ring and O2 of the ethoxyethanol side chain hydrogen bonds to the half fumarate dianion through atom O4.
