The present application claims the benefit of Chinese Patent Application No. CN201810512563.7 filed on May 25, 2018, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
The present disclosure relates to a crystal form I and a crystal form II of 6-butoxy-1-(4-(pyrrolidin-1-ylmethyl)benzyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-amine dihydrochloride and a crystal form A, a crystal form B, and a crystal form C of 6-butoxy-1-(4-(pyrrolidin-1-ylmethyl)benzyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-amine monohydrochloride, and preparation methods thereof.
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a class of important protein molecules involved in innate immunity. TLRs are single, membrane-spanning, non-catalytic receptors, usually expressed on sentinel cells such as macrophages and dendritic cells, and can recognize structurally conserved molecules produced by microbes. Once these microbes have broken through physical barriers such as skin or intestinal tract mucosa, they are recognized by TLRs, thereby activating immune cell responses (Mahla, R S. et al., Front Immunol. 4: 248 (2013)). The ability of immune system to broadly recognize pathogenic microorganisms is, in part, due to the widespread presence of toll-like immunoreceptors (TLRs).
There are at least ten different TLRs in mammals. Ligands and corresponding signaling cascades have been identified for some of these receptors. TLR7 is a member of the subgroup of TLRs (TLRs 3, 7, 8, and 9), localized in the endosomal compartment of cells which are specialized to detect non-self nucleic acids. TLR7 plays a key role in anti-viral defence via the recognition of ssRNA (Diebold S. S. et al., Science, 2004: 303, 1529-1531; and Lund J. M. et al., PNAS, 2004: 101, 5598-5603). TLR7 has a restricted expression-profile in human, and is expressed predominantly by B cells and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC), and to a lesser extent by monocytes. Plasmacytoid DCs are a unique population of lymphoid-derived dendritic cells (0.2-0.8% of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)), which are the primary type I interferon-producing cells secreting high levels of interferon-alpha (IFNα) and interferon-beta (IFN(β) in response to viral infections (Liu Y-J, Annu. Rev. Immunol., 2005: 23, 275-306).
Many diseases and disorders are related to abnormalities in TLRs, such as melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, myeloma, allergic rhinitis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), ulcerative colitis, hepatic fibrosis, and viral infections such as HBV, Flaviviridae viruses, HCV, HPV, RSV, SARS, HIV, or influenza viruses infections. Therefore, the use of TLR agonists to treat related diseases is very promising.
Since TLR7 and TLR8 are highly homologous, the ligand of TLR7 in most cases is also that of TLR8. TLR8 stimulation mainly induces the production of cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and chemokine. Interferon α is one of the main drugs for treating chronic hepatitis B or hepatitis C, while TNF-α is a pro-inflammatory cytokine, and its over-secretion may cause severe side effects. Therefore, the selectivity for TLR7 and TLR8 is critical for the development of TLR7 agonists for treating virus infection diseases.
A TLR7 agonist is provided in the application with application number PCT/CN2017/113007 (filling date: Nov. 27, 2017), and its formula is as follows:
There are currently patent applications related to TLR7 agonists, such as WO2005025583, WO2007093901, WO2008011406, WO2009091032, WO2010077613, WO2010133882, WO2011031965, WO2012080730, etc.
The crystal form structure of active pharmaceutical ingredients often affects the chemical stability of the drug. Different crystallization conditions and storage conditions may lead to changes in the crystal form structure of compounds, sometimes accompanied by the formation of other crystal forms. Generally speaking, amorphous drug products have no regular crystal structure and often have other drawbacks, such as poor product stability, finer precipitate, difficult filtration, easy agglomeration, and poor fluidity. Polymorphs of drugs have different requirements for product storage, production and scale-up. Therefore, it is necessary for in-depth study of the crystal form of the compound of formula (I) and related preparation methods to improve various properties of the compound of formula (I).

The 5× concentration of the compound working solution was diluted with PBS gradient (150, 50, 15, 5, 1.5, 0.15, 0.015, 0 μM). The 5× concentration of ketoconazole working solution was diluted with PBS gradient (150, 50, 15, 5, 1.5, 0.15, 0.015, 0 μM). Dextromethorphan working solution was diluted with PBS to a concentration of 50 μM.
20 μL of the 2.5 mg/mL microsome solution, 20 μL of the 50 μM testosterone working solution, 20 μL of MgCl2 solution and 20 μL of the compound working solution (150, 50, 15, 5, 1.5, 0.15, 0.015, 0 μM, different reaction systems for each concentration) were taken respectively and mixed well. For the positive control group, the compound was replaced with the same concentration of ketoconazole. The mixture together with the 5 mM NADPH solution was pre-incubated at 37° C. for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, 20 μL of NADPH was added to each well, the reaction was started and incubated for 30 minutes. All the incubated samples were present in duplicate. After 30 minutes, 250 μL of acetonitrile containing internal standard was added to all samples, mixed well, shaken at 800 rpm for 10 minutes, and then centrifuged at 3700 rpm for 10 minutes. 80 μL of the supernatant was taken and analyzed by LC-MS/MS.
The data was calculated by Graphpad Prism to obtain the IC50 value of the compound on the testosterone metabolite site of CYP3A4.
The measured IC50 value of the compound represented by formula (I) (example 1) on the testosterone metabolite site of CYP3A4 in human liver microsome was 4 μM.
Conclusion: the compound represented by formula (I) has weak inhibitory effect on the testosterone metabolite site of CYP3A4 in human liver microsome, and shows better safety.
