The present invention provides novel crystalline Form of Nintedanib and process for its preparation. The present invention also provides to a novel process for the preparation of Nintedanib. The present invention further provides to novel intermediates used in the preparation of Nintedanib and process for their preparation.

Nintedanib inhibits multiple receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and non-receptor tyrosine kinases (nRTKs).The chemical name of Nintedanib is lH-Indole-6-carboxylic acid, 2,3-dihydro-3-[[[4-[methyl-(4-methyl-l-iperazinyl)acetyl]amino]phenyl]amino]phenylmethylene] -2-oxo-,methylester, (3Z)-, ethanesulfonate (1 : 1) and is structurally represented by compound of Formula I.

Formula I

Nintedanib is marketed in the United States under the trade name OFEV and is indicated for the treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF).

Nintedanib was first described and claimed in U.S. Pat.No. 6,762, 180 and EP 1224 170. These patents disclose a process for the preparation of Nintedanib as depicted in scheme I given below:

U.S.Pat.No. 8,067,617 discloses a process for the preparation of Nintedanib intermediate Enolindole derivative), which is shown in the scheme-II given below:

Scheme-II

U.S.Pat. No. 7,119,093 discloses Nintedanib monoethanesulphonate in crystalline form characterised by X-ray powder diffraction pattern having 2Θ values at 7.70, 8.78, 9.47, 9.82, 11.59, 11.93, 13.15, 13.69, 14.17, 16.32, 16.72, 16.92, 17.43, 17.77, 18.58, 18.81, 19.03, 19.73, 19.87, 20.03, 20.61, 20.83, 21.26, 21.76, 22.05, 22.19, 22.57, 23.10, 23.81, 24.69, 24.78, 24.91, 25.42, 26.24, 26.91, 27.19, 27.61, 27.95, 28.71, 29.25.

Polymorphism, the occurrence of different crystal forms, is a property of some molecules and molecular complexes. A single molecule may give rise to a variety of polymorphs having distinct crystal structures and physical properties like melting point, X-ray diffraction pattern, infrared absorption fingerprint and solid state NMR spectrum. One polymorph may give rise to thermal behaviour different from that of another polymorph. Thermal behaviour can be measured in the laboratory by such techniques as capillary melting point, thermo gravimetric analysis ("TGA") and differential scanning calorimetry ("DSC"), which have been used to distinguish polymorphic forms.

The differences in the physical properties of different polymorphs results from the orientation and intermolecular interactions of adjacent molecules or complexes in the bulk solid. Accordingly, polymorphs are distinct solids sharing the same molecular Formula yet having distinct advantageous physical properties compared to other polymorphs of the same composition or complex. Hence there remains a need for polymorphic forms which have properties suitable for pharmaceutical processing on a commercial scale.

Considering the importance of Nintedanib, there exists a need to develop an alternate and improved process for the preparation of Nintedanib with better yield. Further, the process involved should be simple, convenient and cost-effective for large scale production. The inventors of the present invention during their continuous efforts also developed a novel high melting stable polymorphic form of Nintedanib ethanesulfonate.
