Afobazole {systematic name: 2-[2-(morpholin-4-yl)ethyl­sulfan­yl]-1H-benzimidazole} is a new anxiolytic drug and Actins, Auzins & Petkune [(2012). Eur. Patent EP10163962] described four polymorphic modifications. In the present study, the crystal structures of two monoclinic polymorphs, 5-eth­oxy-2-[2-(morpholin-4-ium-4-yl)ethyl­sulfan­yl]-1H-benz­imidazol-3-ium dichloride, C15H23N3O2S2+·2Cl-, (II) and (IV), have been established from laboratory powder diffraction data. The crystal packing and conformation of the dications in (II) and (IV) are different. In (II), there are channels in the [001] direction, which offer atmospheric water mol­ecules an easy way of penetrating into the crystal structure, thus explaining the higher hygroscopicity of (II) compared with (IV).

Comment top

Afobazole {systematic name: 5-ethoxy-2-[2-(morpholin-4-ium-4-yl)ethylsulfanyl]-1H-benzimidazol-3-ium dichloride} is a new drug belonging to the class of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole derivatives. Afobazole exhibits pronounced anxiolytic action that is not accompanied by the side effects typical of tranquilizers of the benzodiazepine series. It does not produce sedative (calming), hypnotic and myorelaxant effects, and is still under intensive study (Cuevas et al., 2011a,b; Reutova et al., 2010). Clinical trials have shown afobazole to be well tolerated and reasonably effective for the treatment of anxiety, although its mechanism of action remains poorly defined. The physicochemical properties of afobazole have been studied and methods for its standardization developed (Milkina et al., 2006), but no published crystal structures were found in the Cambride Structural Database (CSD, Version 5.33; Allen, 2002). Recently, four polymorphic modifications of afobazole [(I), (II), (III) and (IV)] were reported by Actins et al. (2012). Herein, we report the crystal structures of the polymorphic salts (II) and (IV) determined from laboratory powder diffraction data.

The asymmetric units of (II) and (IV) are shown in Fig. 1. In both polymorphs, the geometry of the cation is normal and the morpholine ring has a chair conformation. However, the overall conformations of the cation in (II) and (IV) are different, as can be seen from Figs. 1 and 2. The crystal packings of (II) and (IV) are also different. In (II), classical intermolecular N—H···Cl hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link two cations and four anions into an electroneutral centrosymmetric unit (Fig. 3, top) and weak C—H···O interactions (Table 1) consolidate the crystal packing further. In (IV), intermolecular N—H···Cl hydrogen bonds (Table 2) link cations related by translation along the a axis and anions into electroneutral chains (Fig. 3, bottom), which are further held together by weak C—H···O interactions (Table 2).

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) shows that (IV) is stable at a relative humidity of 55 (3)% and T = 295 K over a period of 8 h, while (II) is hygroscopic, exhibiting a weight increase of 2.4% after 2 h exposure under the same conditions. However, the water content in the studied sample of (II), estimated by Karl Fischer titration, suggested no more than one water molecule per ten formula units of afobazole. These ambiguous data, along with the observed difference of 18 Å3 in the asymmetric unit-cell volumes of (II) and (IV), necessitated a check for the possible presence of solvent water in (II). In the crystal structure of (II), PLATON (Spek, 2009) detects solvent-accessible voids of 12 Å3 centred at (0.08, 0.81, 0.99). Atom OW was placed in the centre of the void, with an initial occupancy of 0.5 and a Uiso value fixed at 0.1 Å-2, and refined. The atomic coordinates and occupancy factor of atom OW refined to (0.08, 0.80, 1.09) and 0.1 (2), respectively, with insignificant improvements in the R factors, which allows us to consider the investigated sample of form (II) as anhydrous. On the other hand, atom OW in the refined position has a reasonable environment and forms hydrogen bonds with atoms O19 (OW···O19 = 2.73 Å) and Cl1 [OW···Cl1(x, -y + 3/2, z + 1/2) = 3.10 Å], thus showing the position where an atmospheric water molecule could be docked without rearrangement of the crystal structure. Interestingly, the voids found by PLATON in (II) form sinuous channels in the [001] direction (Fig. 4), which offer water molecules an easy way of penetrating into the crystal structure.

In conclusion, we can state that crystal-packing features are responsible for the high hygroscopicity of (II) and therefore afobazole form (IV) is superior for prolonged storage.

Experimental top

Samples of (II) and (IV) were prepared in polycrystalline form by JSC Grindeks (Riga, Latvia) according to the procedure of Actins et al. (2012). Thermogravimetric analysis was performed on 8–10 mg samples with an EXSTAR6000 TG/DTA 6300 analyser (Seiko, Japan) using open sample pans (5 mm; P/N SS000E030) in an air atmosphere at a heating rate of 10 K min-1 over the temperature range 303–393 K.

Refinement top

The X-ray powder diffraction data were collected using a Huber G670 Guinier camera (Cu Kα1 radiation, λ = 1.54059 Å) equipped with an imaging-plate detector. The monoclinic unit-cell dimensions for both polymorphs were determined using three indexing programs: TREOR90 (Werner et al., 1985), ITO (Visser, 1969) and AUTOX (Zlokazov, 1992, 1995). Based on systematic extinctions, the space group for both (II) and (IV) was determined to be P21/c. The unit-cell parameters and space groups were further tested using a Pawley fit (Pawley, 1981) and confirmed by crystal structure solution. The powder pattern of (IV) contains four very weak peaks (d spacings = 15.629, 15.278, 14.453 and 5.694 Å) from other polymorphic forms of afobazole.

The crystal structures were solved using the simulated annealing technique (Zhukov et al., 2001). The Cambridge Structural Database (Version 5.33; Allen, 2002) contains no structures with the 5-ethoxy-2-(2-morpholinoethylthio)benzimidazole fragment. Therefore, the initial molecular model was obtained in the course of density functional theory (DFT) calculations in vacuo using the quantum-chemical program PRIRODA (Laikov, 1997, 2004, 2005; Laikov & Ustynyuk, 2005), employing the generalized-gradient approximation (GGA) and the PBE exchange-correlation function (Perdew et al., 1996). In simulated annealing runs (without H atoms), the total number of varied degrees of freedom (DOF) for (II) and (IV) was 18, i.e. nine translational (for two anions and one cation), three orientational and six torsional for the cation. The solutions found were fitted using the program MRIA (Zlokazov & Chernyshev, 1992) in bond-restrained Rietveld refinements using a split-type pseudo-Voigt peak-profile function (Toraya, 1986). In the refinement of (IV), the anisotropic line broadening was taken into account with the use of nine variables (Popa, 1998) and the March–Dollase (Dollase, 1986) formalism was used for correction of the preferred orientation in the [001] direction. Restraints were applied to the intramolecular bond lengths and contacts (<2.8 Å); the strength of the restraints was a function of interatomic separation and, for intramolecular bond lengths, corresponded to an r.m.s. deviation 0.02 Å. Additional restraints were applied to the planarity of the benzimidazole fragment with the attached atoms, with the maximum allowed deviation from the mean plane being 0.03 Å. All non-H atoms were refined isotropically. H atoms were positioned geometrically (C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å and N—H = 0.86–0.91 Å) and not refined. The diffraction profiles for both polymorphs after the final bond-restrained Rietveld refinements are shown in Fig. 5.

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.

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.
