Patent attributes
The present invention relates to new salts of the single enantiomers of omeprazole, i.e. salts of (S)-5-methoxy-2-[[(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-2-pyridinyl)-methyl]sulfinyl]-1H-benzimidazole ((S)-omeprazole) and (R)-5-methoxy-2-[[(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-2-pyridinyl)-methyl]sulfinyl]-1H-benzimidazole ((R)-omeprazole) respectively. More specifically, the present invention relates to 1-cyclohexylethyl ammonium salts of the compounds, formed by a reaction of (S)-omeprazole and (R)-omeprazole respectively and 1-cyclohexylethyl amine. The present invention also relates to a process for preparing the compounds of the invention, a pharmaceutical preparation and a method for treatment of gastric related disorders by administering the compounds of the invention.
