BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1-[5-(2-fluorophenyl)-1-(pyridin-3-ylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]-N-methylmethanamine fumarate was developed by Takeda Pharmaceutical company, for use in treating an acid-related disease (e.g., duodenal ulcer, esophagitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, eradicating Helicobacter pylori, peptic ulcer, gastric ulcer). 1-[5-(2-fluorophenyl)-1-(pyridin-3-ylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]-N-methylmethanamine fumarate is a potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB), which functions by competitively inhibiting potassium ions in the hydrogen ion/potassium ion-ATP enzyme. It is a reversible potassium antagonist, and belongs to a novel proton pump inhibitor. Its structural formula is as follows:

Moreover, the crystal form of the compound of formula I can be characterized by a melting point of about 206° C.±3° C. (determined by DSC; evaluated by the starting temperature; with a heating rate of 10 K/minute). The DSC curve obtained is shown in FIG. 2.


In order to allow experimental error, the aforementioned 2θ should be considered to be accurate to 2θ±0.20. In other words, when determining whether or not a crystal sample of a given compound A is the crystal form of the present invention, if the 2θ value of the sample observed in an experiment falls into the ±0.2° range of a 2θ characteristic value, then it should be considered to be the same as the aforementioned characteristic value.


In another aspect, the present invention relates to a method of preparing the crystal form of formula I, comprising the following steps of:


(a) dissolving 1-[5-(2-fluorophenyl)-1-(pyridin-3-ylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]-N-methylmethanamine fumarate in a solvent or a mixture of solvents to form a saturated or nearly saturated solution;


(b) storing the solution in order to precipitate the crystal form from the solution, thereby forming a suspension;


(c) separating the precipitate from the suspension; and


(d) drying the precipitate to remove the solvent or the mixture of solvents.


Preferably, the solvent is selected from the group consisting of C1-4-alkanol, water, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, acetone, methyl tert-butyl ether, N,N-dimethyl formamide, and a mixture of two or more of these solvents.


Preferably, step (a) is carried out at room temperature (about 20° C.) or at a rising temperature about below the boiling point of the solvent used or the mixture of solvents used.


Optionally, one or more poor solvents can be added in step (a) and/or step (b) to reduce the solubility of formula I in the solution.


Preferably, the temperature of the solution in step (b) can be room temperature (about 20° C.) or below.


Optionally, step (b) can be carried out with or without stirring.


Optionally, a seed crystal can be added or not added in step (b).


Preferably, in step (c), the precipitate can be separated by means using known methods, such as filtration, suction filtration, spin filtration, decantation or centrifugation.


Preferably, in step (d), the filtered solvent or the mixture of solvents can be removed under conditions of normal pressure or reduced pressure, heating or no heating.


Another objective of present invention is to provide a pharmaceutical composition comprising the crystal form.


The crystal form of the compound of formula I provided by the present invention is stable, reproducible, and suitable for drug development.

EXAMPLE 1

2 g of 1-[5-(2-fluorophenyl)-1-(pyridin-3-ylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]-N-methylmethanamine fumarate were dissolved in 20 ml of a mixture of water/isopropanol (volume ratio 3:7), which had been heated to about 70° C. The solution was cooled to about 5° C. in 3 to 5 hours, stirred for 1 hour, and filtered under reduced pressure. The filter cake was dried at 50° C. for 8 hours to obtain 1.4 g of a crystal form. The XRPD spectrum and DSC spectrum of the crystal form are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, respectively.


EXAMPLE 2

2 g of 1-[5-(2-fluorophenyl)-1-(pyridin-3-ylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]-N-methylmethanamine fumarate were dissolved in 80 ml of a mixture of ethyl acetate/methanol (volume ratio 1:7), which had been heated to about 70° C. The solution was cooled to about 5° C. in 3 to 5 hours, stirred for 1 hour, and filtered under reduced pressure. The filter cake was dried at 50° C. for 8 hours to obtain 1.2 g of a crystal form. The XRPD spectrum of the crystal form was substantially consistent with FIG. 1, and the DSC spectrum of the crystal form is shown in FIG. 2.


EXAMPLE 3

2 g of 1-[5-(2-fluorophenyl)-1-(pyridin-3-ylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]-N-methylmethanamine fumarate were dissolved in 80 ml of methanol, which had been heated to about 65° C. The solution was cooled to about 5° C. in 3 to 5 hours, stirred for 1 hour, and filtered under reduced pressure. The filter cake was dried at 50° C. for 8 hours to obtain 1.0 g of a crystal form. The XRPD spectrum of the crystal form was substantially consistent with FIG. 1, and the DSC spectrum of the crystal form is shown in FIG. 2.


EXAMPLE 4

2 g of 1-[5-(2-fluorophenyl)-1-(pyridin-3-ylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]-N-methylmethanamine fumarate were dissolved in 30 ml of water, which had been heated to about 95° C. The solution was cooled to about 5° C. in 3 to 5 hours, stirred for 1 hour, and filtered under reduced pressure. The filter cake was dried at 50° C. for 8 hours to obtain 1.5 g of a crystal form. The XRPD spectrum of the crystal form was substantially consistent with FIG. 1, and the DSC spectrum of the crystal form is shown in FIG. 2.


Experimental Example 1: Comparative Study on the Crystal Forms of Samples Before and after Stability Testing
