A novel process of manufacturing sevelamer carbonate from a polyallylamine carbonate or bicarbonate chloride salt. Process for manufacture of carbonate and/or bicarbonate salts of water insoluble polymers containing amino groups that are useful as anion binders in the gastrointestinal (GI) system. The process arranges the polyallylamine chain in a solution in such a way that the cross-linking reaction with epichlorohydrin can be controlled at a desired reaction rate.
A synthesis and purification of felbamate, an anticonvulsant, are provided. The product of the synthesis and purification is with high untapped and tapped bulk densities, which increase ease of handling and suitability for use in pharmaceutical formulations. The felbamate may be incorporated into pharmaceutical compositions that can be administered orally for treatment of epilepsy.
