Disclosed is a process for the purification of staurosporine (1), which comprises salification of staurosporine (1) (Formula (1)) by treatment with a mineral acid to give a precipitated salt, isolation of the staurosporine (1) precipitated salt, treatment of the staurosporine (1) isolated salt with an organic base, and isolation of staurosporine (1). Also disclosed are novel polymorphic forms of the mono- and bis-hydrochloride salts of staurosporine (1).

Process for the purification of indole carbazole alkaloids

The present invention relates to a new anhydrous crystalline form of Cabazitaxel of formula (I), designated as form H. A further object of the present invention is a processes for the preparation of the above mentioned form H by recrystallization of Cabazitaxel from a mixture of decanoyl- and octanoyl triglycerides or from glycerol trioctanoate. Form H of Cabazitaxel is useful for the preparation of Cabazitaxel, Cabazitaxel salts, and polymorphic forms thereof. It is also particularly useful as a medicament, especially for the treatment of cancers.
