Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to crystalline and amorphous forms of N-(5-((4-ethylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl)pyridine-2-yl)-5-fluoro-4-(3-isopropyl-2-methyl-2H-indazol-5-yl)pyrimidin-2-amine and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and use thereof in the treatment or prevention of diseases or medical conditions mediated through certain cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), such as various cancers.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are a family of protein kinases that regulate cell division and proliferation. Cell cycle progression is controlled by cyclins and their associated cyclin-dependent kinases, such as CDK1-CDK4 and CDK6, while other CDKs such as CDK7-CDK9 are critical to transcription. CDK binding to cyclins forms heterodimeric complexes that phosphorylate their substrates on serine and threonine residues, which in turn initiates events required for cell-cycle transcription and progression (Malumbres et al. Trends Biochem. Sci. 2005, 30, 630-641). Since uncontrolled cell proliferation is a hallmark of cancer, and most cancer cells exhibit deregulation of CDKs, inhibition of CDKs has emerged as a potential treatment for various cancers. While inhibitors with varying degrees of selectivity for CDKs have been reported, selective CDK4/6 inhibitors are currently viewed as a promising class of potential cancer therapeutic agents due to the critical role of CDK4/6 in regulating cell proliferation and the toxic effects associated with inhibition of other CDKs. Compound 1, namely N-(5-((4-ethylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl)pyridin-2-yl-5-fluoro-4-(3-isopropyl-2-methyl-2H-indazol-5-yl)pyrimidin-2-amine, is a potent, selective inhibitor of CDK4/6 useful in the treatment or prevention of diseases, disorders, or medical conditions mediated through certain CDKs, in particular CDK4 and CDK6, such as various types of cancers and inflammation-related conditions. See WO 2016/014904 A1 and U.S. Pat. No. 9,878,994, which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties.

The term “therapeutically effective amount” as herein used, refers to the amount of a compound that, when administered to a subject for treating a disease, or at least one of the clinical symptoms of a disease or disorder, is sufficient to affect such treatment for the disease, disorder, or symptom. The “therapeutically effective amount” can vary with the compound, the disease, disorder, and/or symptoms of the disease or disorder, severity of the disease, disorder, and/or symptoms of the disease or disorder, the age of the subject to be treated, and/or the weight of the subject to be treated. An appropriate amount in any given instance can be apparent to those skilled in the art or can be determined by routine experiments. In the case of combination therapy, the “therapeutically effective amount” refers to the total amount of the combination objects for the effective treatment of a disease, a disorder or a condition.


The pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound of the present invention can be administrated via oral, inhalation, rectal, parenteral or topical administration to a subject who needs treatment. For oral administration, the pharmaceutical composition may be a regular solid formulation such as tablets, powder, granule, capsules and the like, a liquid formulation such as water or oil suspension or other liquid formulation such as syrup, solution, suspension or the like; for parenteral administration, the pharmaceutical composition may be solution, water solution, oil suspension concentrate, lyophilized powder or the like. In one embodiment, the formulation of the pharmaceutical composition is selected from tablet, coated tablet, capsule, suppository, nasal spray or injection, more preferably tablet or capsule. The pharmaceutical composition can be a single unit administration with an accurate dosage. In addition, the pharmaceutical composition may further comprise additional active ingredients.


All formulations of the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can be produced by the conventional methods in the pharmaceutical field. For example, the active ingredient can be mixed with one or more excipients, then to make the desired formulation. The “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” refers to conventional pharmaceutical carriers suitable for the desired pharmaceutical formulation, for example: a diluent, a vehicle such as water, various organic solvents, etc, a filler such as starch, sucrose, etc; a binder such as cellulose derivatives, alginates, gelatin and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP); a wetting agent such as glycerol; a disintegrating agent such as agar, calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate; an absorption enhancer such as quaternary ammonium compound; a surfactant such as hexadecanol; an absorption carrier such as Kaolin and soap clay; a lubricant such, as talc, calcium, stearate, magnesium stearate, polyethylene glycol, etc. In addition, the pharmaceutical composition further comprises other pharmaceutically acceptable excipients such as a decentralized agent, a stabilizer, a thickener, a complexing agent, a buffering agent, a permeation enhancer, a polymer, aromatics, a sweetener, and a dye. In one embodiment, the excipient is suitable for desired formulation and administration type. The term “disease” or “disorder” or “condition” refers to any disease, discomfort, illness, symptoms or indications.


It is noted here that, as used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural reference unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. In general, when either a singular or a plural form of a noun is used, it denotes both singular and plural forms of the noun.


The term “about” or “approximately”, unless otherwise defined, generally includes up to plus or minus 10% of the indicated number. For example, “about 10%” may indicate a range of 9% to 11%, and “about 20” may mean from 18 to 22. Preferably “about” includes up to plus or minus 6% of the indicated value. Alternatively, “about” includes up to plus or minus 5% of the indicated value. Other meanings of “about” may be apparent from the context, such as rounding off, so, for example “about 1” may also mean from 0.5 to 1.4.


However, in the case of a melting or onset temperature of a crystalline form as measured by in a DSC thermogram, the term “about” may indicate that the melting or onset temperature can usually vary within ±2° C., regardless of the absolute value of the melting or onset temperature, as a person skilled in the art would understand it. As would be understood by a person skilled in the art, when a parameter is not critical, a number is often given only for illustration purpose, instead of being limiting.


The terms “including,” “comprising,” “containing,” or “having” and variations thereof are meant to encompass the items listed thereafter and equivalents thereof as well as additional subject matter unless otherwise noted. The following non-limiting examples further illustrate certain aspects of the present invention.

A mixture of 5-(2-chloro-5-fluoropyrimidin-4-yl)-2-methyl-3-(propan-2-yl)-2H-indazole (2), (20.7 mol, 1.0 equiv), 5-((4-ethylpiperazin-1-yl)methylpyridin-2-amine (3) (24.5 mol, 1.2 equiv), K3PO4.3H2O (69.5 mol, 3.4 equiv), Pd2(dba)3 (0.97 mol, 0.05 equiv) and Xantphos (1.02 mol, 0.05 equiv) in 184 L of 1,4-dioxane was de-gassed with N2 then heated with stirring at 90-100° C. for 24 h. The mixture was cooled to 40-50° C., added to a mixture of L-cysteine (0.05 equiv) and water (6.8 L), and then stirred at 40-50° C. for 3-5 h. The mixture was cooled to 0-10° C. and stirred for 1-3 h, centrifuged, and then washed with fresh water. The wet cake was dissolved in 1N aqueous HCl, washed twice with isopropyl acetate and decolorized with activated carbon. The solution was adjusted to pH 9-10 with 17% aqueous Na2CO3 and centrifuged. The wet cake was washed three times with water and dried to yield 4.9 kg (47%) of the freebase of 1 (Form A) as an off-white solid (purity: 99.4%); N-(5-((4-ethylpiperazin-yl) methyl) pyridin-2-yl-5-fluoro-4-(3-isopropyl-2-methyl-2H-indazol-5-yl) pyrimidin-2-amine (1).

The freebase of 1 (Form A) was characterized by polarized light microscopy (PLM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA); FIGS. 1-3. It is crystalline with irregular small particles as shown by PLM and XRPD results (FIGS. 1 and 2). The DSC profile (FIG. 3) shows that there are three endothermic peaks and the melting point is at the onset temperature of 162.3° C. (54.5 J/g). The TGA profile indicates that there is 0.64% weight loss from room temperature to 120° C.

Example 2
Freebase Polymorph Screening for Compound 1:

The freebase of Compound 1 (Form A) was placed into each of five glass vials followed by the addition of solvent to each vial as described in Table 1. If a clear solution was obtained, then 1 was added until a suspension was formed. Otherwise the suspension was stirred for 24 h at 50° C. The resulting solids were investigated by XRPD and then dried under vacuum at 40° C. overnight. The dried samples were analyzed by XRPD as well. See FIG. 4.


Three new crystalline freebase forms (Forms B, C and D) resulted and are summarized in Table 1. The original Form A was converted to Form B in isopropanol, ethanol and a 3:1 ethanol:water mixture, while it was converted to Form C in acetone. Form D was obtained from methanol.

Compound 1 Freebase (Form B)

The freebase of Compound 1 (Form B) was obtained in IPA, or ethanol and ethanol/water at the ratio of 3:1. Three endothermic peaks are found in the DSC profile and the melting point was at the temperature of 165.4° C. The TGA profile shows there is 0.43% weight loss, which is likely due to the release of solvents (FIG. 6).


Compound 1-Freebase (Form C)

The freebase of 1 (Form C) was obtained in acetone. Based upon the TGA and DSC profiles (FIG. 7), the melting point is at the onset temperature of 160.9° C. (103.6 J/g) and it has 0.43% weight loss from room temperature to 120° C.


Compound 1 Freebase (Form D)

The freebase of 1 (Form D) was obtained in methanol. There are three peaks in the DSC profile as shown in FIG. 8. The first peak is at the onset temperature of 55.9° C. (54.6 J/g) with 1.16% weight loss, and the second peak is at onset temperature 118.8° C. (13.2 J/g), which may be related to release of residual solvent. The third peak is at the temperature of 168.4° C. (68.5 J/g). The dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) isotherm analysis (FIG. 9) shows that freebase of 1 (Form D) is hygroscopic (5.13% at 80% RH) and there is no change of crystalline form after DVS (FIG. 10).


Selected XRPD data listed in FIG. 4 are listed below.

Example 3
Preparation and Characterization of Salt Forms of Compound 1 (50 mg Scale).

Approximately 50 mg of freebase 1 (Form A) was placed into each of six glass vials and dissolved in 2.0 mL methanol. Appropriate amounts of hydrochloride acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, methanesulfonic acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid in methanol solutions were added to the vials in molar ratios summarized in Table 2. The mixtures were magnetically stirred for 24 h at room temperature. If a clear solution was obtained, then vacuum centrifugation was conducted at 60° C. to evaporate the solvent. Otherwise, the suspension was centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 5 min to separate the remaining solid. The resulting wet solids were analyzed by XRPD (FIG. 11) and then dried under vacuum at 40° C. for 4 hours. The dry samples were subsequently analyzed by XRPD (FIGS. 12 and 13) and the results for both the wet and dry salts are shown in Table 2. The XRPD results indicate that on the 50 mg scale, the dry hydrochloride (1:1; Form A), phosphate (1:1; Form A), sulphate (1:1; Form A) and tosylate salts (1:1; Form A) are crystalline materials, whereas the sulphate (2:1) salt and methanesulfonate (1:1) salt are amorphous.

Example 4
Preparation and Characterization of Salt Forms of Compound 1 (500 mg Scale).

Approximately 500 mg of freebase 1 (Form A) was placed into each of six glass vials and dissolved in 20 mL of methanol. Methanol solutions of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, methanesulfonic acid and p-toluenesulfonic acid containing the molar ratios shown in Table 3 were added to each vial and the mixtures were stirred for 24 h at room temperature. If a clear solution was obtained, then vacuum centrifugation at 50° C. for 1.5 h was used to isolate solid material. Subsequently, 20 mL of MTBE was added to the concentrated material and the mixture was stirred for 30 min, collected and dried. If a clear solution was not obtained, the suspension was centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 5 min to separate remaining solid. The solids were dried under vacuum at 40° C. for 1 day and the dry samples were analyzed by XRPD and the results are shown in Table 3.


Based upon the 500 mg scale XRPD diffractograms (FIGS. 14 and 15), the hydrochloride (1:1; Form A), phosphate (1:1; Form A), tosylate (1:1; Form A) and the sulphate (2:1; Form A) salts of Compound 1 were crystalline whereas the (1:1) sulphate salt was amorphous. The 500 mg sulphate salt results contrast with the 50 mg scale results, because on the 50 mg scale the (1:1; Form A) sulphate salt was crystalline (FIG. 13) and the (2:1) sulphate salt was amorphous (FIG. 12). Similarly, the methanesulfonate as a (1:1) salt was amorphous on the 50 mg scale and crystalline after isolation as a (1:2; Form A) salt on the 500 mg scale.


The molar ratios (freebase 1:acid) of the isolated salts of Compound 1 in Table 3 were confirmed by RP-HPLC analysis with evaporative light scattering detection (ELSD; Table 4) for the hydrochloride (1:1; Form A), phosphate (1:1; Form A), sulphate (1:1; Form A) and sulphate (2:1; Form A) salts and by 1H NMR spectroscopy for the methanesulfonate (1:2; Form A) and tosylate (1:1; Form A) salts.

DVS, TGA, DSC and 1H-NMR Characterization of the Salts of Compound 1
Compound 1⋅HCl (1:1; Form A)

The TGA and DSC profiles of Compound 1⋅HCl (1:1; Form A) (dried) are shown in FIG. 16. The DSC profile shows two endothermic peaks and a melting point at the onset temperature of 275.4° C. (198.5 J/g). The TGA profile shows a 2.95% weight loss and the DVS isotherm analysis (FIG. 17) indicates that 1⋅HCl (1:1; Form A) is hygroscopic (3.64% at 80% RH) with no change of crystalline form as shown by the XRPD diffractograms before and after DVS (FIG. 18). These results indicate that 1⋅HCl (1:1; Form A)) is a monohydrate form (theoretical water content is 3.3%, w/w). The 1H NMR spectrum of 1 ⋅HCl (1:1; Form A) is shown in FIG. 19.


Compound 1⋅H2SO4 (1:1)


The TGA and DSC profiles of crystalline Compound 1⋅H2SO4 (1:1; Form A) from the 50 mg scale are presented in FIG. 20. The TGA profile showed a 4.92% weight loss from 31.6° C. to 120° C. and the DSC profile displays two endothermic peaks, with the first peak at onset temperature 34.3° C. (268.1 J/g) and the second peak at onset temperature 136.0° C. (13.2 J/g). The DVS isotherm analysis (FIG. 21) indicated that Compound 1⋅H2SO4 (1:1; Form A) was very hygroscopic (26.42% at 80% RH) with some change of crystalline form as shown by XRPD after DVS (FIG. 22).


Compound 1⋅H3PO4 (1:1; Form A)


The DSC and TGA profiles of Compound 1⋅H3PO4 (1:1; Form A) are presented in FIG. 23. The DSC profile showed a melting point onset at 229.1° C. (152.2 J/g) and the TGA profile displayed a 0.59% weight loss from 31.4° C. to 120° C. The DVS isotherm analysis (FIG. 24) indicated that Compound 1⋅H3PO4 (1:1) is hygroscopic (3.16% at 80% RH) with some change of crystalline form after DVS as shown by XRPD (FIG. 25, with the peaks listed below).

Compound 1 ⋅p-Toluenesulfonic Acid (1:1; Form A)


The TGA and DSC profiles of Compound 1 ⋅p-toluenesulfonic acid (1:1; Form A) are presented in FIG. 26. The TGA profile showed a 0.53% weight loss from room temperature to 120° C. and its DSC profile displayed an endothermic peak with a melting point onset temperature of 229.5° C. (85.0 J/g). The DVS isotherm analysis (FIG. 27) indicated that Compound 1 ⋅p-toluenesulfonic acid (1:1; Form A) was slightly hygroscopic (1.67% at 80% RH) and there was no change of crystalline form after DVS as shown by XRPD (FIG. 28).


Compound 1 ⋅Methanesulfonic Acid (1:2; Form A)

The TGA and DSC profiles of Compound 1 ⋅methanesulfonic acid (1:2; Form A) are presented in FIG. 30 and the XRPD pattern is shown in FIG. 31. The DSC profile displayed an endothermic peak with a melting point onset temperature of 223.4° C. (56.3 J/g) and the TGA profile showed a 2.48% weight loss from 31° C. to 120° C. The 400 MHz 1H NMR spectrum in DMSO-d6 showed 1:2 molar ratio of Compound 1 to methanesulfonic acid (FIG. 32).


Example 6
Polymorph Screening for the Salts of Compound 1

General Procedure: Approximately 20 mg of each initial salt form (Form A) of Compound 1 was placed into each of nine glass vials and suspended in 100 μL of the various solvents listed in Tables 5-8 and the appearance noted. If clear solution was obtained, then evaporation was conducted for several hours. Otherwise, the slurry was stirred for 24 hours at 40° C. A sample of the slurry was drawn out and analyzed by XRPD (wet sample). The remaining solids were heated at 40° C. at reduced pressure overnight and then analyzed by XRPD (dry sample).


Compound 1⋅HCl (1:1; Form A)

No new crystalline polymorphs derived from Compound 1-⋅HCl (1:1; Form A) were formed in any of the solvents listed (Table 5, FIG. 33).

Compound 1 ⋅p-Toluenesulfonic Acid (1:1; Form B)


One new crystalline form (Form B) was derived from Compound 1 ⋅p-toluenesulfonic acid (1:1; Form A) whereas Form C was mostly amorphous (Table 8 and FIGS. 37, 38). The DSC profile of Compound 1 ⋅p-toluenesulfonic acid (1:1; Form B) displayed two endothermic peaks (FIG. 39). The first was at the onset temperature of 82.2° C. (9.9 J/g), which may be related to the solid form transition to Form A, and the second at the onset temperature of 229.0° C. (81.4 J/g) was likely the melt of Form A.
