The present disclosure relates to a crystal form of [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine compound, a preparation method thereof, and also a use of the crystal form in the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of diseases related to the A2A receptor.
Adenosine A2A receptor is widely distributed in human tissues. The receptor is highly expressed in tissues and organs such as spleen, thymus, white blood cells, platelets, GABAergic neurons and olfactory bulb. It is also expressed in other parts such as heart, lung, blood vessel and brain. Adenosine A2A receptor generally co-exists with and binds to other GPCRs to form heterodimers. For example, the A2A receptor can form heterodimers with dopamine D2, cannabinoid CB1, glutamate mGluR5, etc. Adenosine A2A receptor plays an important role in life activities such as regulating vasodilation, supporting the formation of new blood vessels, and protecting body tissues from the damage caused by inflammation. Adenosine A2A receptor also affects the activity of indirect pathways in the basal ganglia.
In solid tumors, the decomposition of cell tissue and the hypoxic environment cause the decomposition of a large amount of ATP, resulting in extracellular enrichment of adenosine to an abnormally high concentration, which is 10 to 20 times the normal value. Binding of the high concentration of adenosine to the A2A receptor may activate the adenosine signaling pathway, which is a mechanism that protects body tissues through immunosuppression when the body tissues are damaged. The activation of the adenosine signaling pathway leads to a long-term suppression of the innate immune response, which may produce immune tolerance, and in turn lead to uncontrolled growth of malignant tumors. The binding of adenosine to the A2A receptor in white blood cells (such as lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, natural killer cells, dendritic cells, etc.) inhibits the effector functions of these white blood cells in the immune system. The binding of adenosine to the A2A receptor increases the expression of CD39, CD73 and CTLA4 (T cell checkpoints), thereby generating more Treg cells with stronger immunosuppressive properties.
Blocking the adenosine signaling pathway of the A2A receptor may reduce the inhibitory effect on the immune system and enhance the immune function of T cells. Therefore, it is considered to be a promising negative feedback mechanism that can inhibit the tumor growth.

Bedding and water in all cages were disinfected before use. All the animals had free access to the standard certified commercial laboratory diet. A total of 80 mice were purchased from Shanghai Slack Laboratory Animal Co., Ltd. Anti-PD-1 antibody was purchased from BioXcell with the clone of RMP-14 and the product number of BP0146. 0.1 mL of 3×105 CT26 cells were subcutaneously inoculated in the right back of each mouse, and the mice were randomly divided into groups for administration.

The volume of the tumor was measured twice a week with a two-dimensional caliper, and the volume was measured in cubic millimeter, which was calculated by the following formula: V=0.5a×b2, wherein a and b were the long and short diameters of the tumor, respectively. The anti-tumor efficacy was determined by dividing the average volume increase of the tumors of animals treated with the compound by the average volume increase of the tumors of the untreated animals. (BID means twice a day)
