Patent Application
20250051281
The present application claims the right of the following priority:
The present disclosure relates to a crystal form, a salt form, a pharmaceutical composition of a compound of formula (I), and a use thereof as an S1P1 agonist.
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is an amphoteric biological signal molecule belonging to lysophospholipid (LP). S1P can activate complex downstream signals by acting on five G protein-coupled receptor subtypes-sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor (S1PR1-5), thereby regulating important physiological and biochemical functions. SIP binds to different SIP receptors to regulate different physiological functions and plays an important role in maintaining the health of the body and in the occurrence of diseases.
S1P1 receptor agonists interfere with lymphocyte trafficking, sequestering them in lymph nodes and other secondary lymphoid tissues. This leads to a decrease in peripheral circulating lymphocytes, and the clinical value of lymphocyte isolation is to exclude them from the visual field of inflammation and/or autoimmune response in surrounding tissues. This isolation of lymphocytes (e.g., in lymph nodes) is considered to be the result of the following simultaneous actions: agonist-driven functional antagonism of S1P1 receptors on T cells (thus reducing the ability of S1P to mobilize T cells out of lymph nodes) and continuous agonism of S1P1 receptors on lymph node endothelium (thus enhancing barrier function against lymphocyte migration). Therefore, S1P1 receptor agonists can reduce human autoimmune ability by preventing lymphocyte transportation, so they can be used as immunosuppressants to treat various autoimmune diseases.
Among them, the S1P1 agonist Fingolimod (FTY720) was approved by the FDA for the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), which had developed a new therapeutic field for the treatment of immune diseases. Although FTY720 has clinical efficacy, it is a non-selective S1P receptor agonist. The combination of FTY720 with S1P3 in vivo often leads to a series of important side effects, such as bradycardia, which greatly limits its use in the treatment of immune diseases. Therefore, the discovery of second-generation of highly selective S1P1 agonists with better efficacy, less side effects and wider range of uses in the treatment of immune diseases has become one of the hot topics in drug research.
An S1P1 agonist is provided in the application with the application number PCT/CN2019/123485 (filing date: Dec. 6, 2019), with the structure shown as follows:

A hydrate may have, or may not have, solvents other than water on the surface, within the lattice, or both on the surface and within the lattice.
Crystal forms or amorphous forms can be identified using various techniques, such as X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), infrared absorption spectroscopy (IR), melting point method, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Raman spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, solution calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), quantitative analysis, solubility, and dissolution rate, among others.
X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) can detect changes in crystal forms, crystallinity, crystal structure state, and other information, and is a commonly used method for identifying crystal forms. The peak positions in XRPD patterns primarily depend on the structure of the crystal form and are relatively insensitive to experimental details. In contrast, the relative peak heights depend on many factors related to sample preparation and instrument geometry. Therefore, in some examples, the crystal forms of the present disclosure are characterized by XRPD patterns with specific peak positions, which are basically as shown in the XRPD patterns provided in the accompanying figures of the present disclosure. At the same time, the measurement of 2θ of XRPD patterns may have experimental error. The measurement of 2θ of the XRPD patterns may vary slightly between different instruments and samples, and thus the 2θ values should not be considered absolute. According to the instrument conditions used in the experiments of the present disclosure, the diffraction peaks have an error tolerance of 0.2°.
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a technique that measures the energy difference between a sample and an inert reference material (commonly α-Al2O3) as a function of temperature by continuously heating or cooling under the control of a program. The height of the melting peak in a DSC curve depends on many factors related to sample preparation and instrument geometry, while the peak position is relatively insensitive to experimental details. Therefore, in some examples, the crystal forms of the present disclosure are characterized by DSC patterns with characteristic peak positions, which are basically as shown in the DSC patterns provided in the accompanying figures of the present disclosure. At the same time, DSC patterns may have experimental errors. The peak positions and peak values in DSC patterns may vary slightly between different instruments and samples, and thus the peak positions or numerical values of the peak values of the DSC endothermic peaks should not be considered absolute. According to the instrument conditions used in the experiments of the present disclosure, the melting peaks have an error tolerance of ±3° C.
Solids with the same chemical composition often form polymorph, with different crystal structures under different thermodynamic conditions, also known as variants. This phenomenon is referred to as polymorphism or polytypism. When temperature and pressure conditions change, variants can undergo mutual transformation, a phenomenon known as transformation of crystal form. Due to crystal form transformation, the mechanical, electrical, and magnetic properties of the crystal can change significantly. When the temperature of the crystal form transformation is within the measurable range, this transformation process can be observed on the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) pattern, which is characterized by the presence of an exothermic peak reflecting this transformation process and simultaneously two or more endothermic peaks, which are characteristic endothermic peaks of different crystal forms before and after the transformation. The crystal forms or amorphous forms of the compounds in the present disclosure can undergo crystal form transformation under appropriate conditions.
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is a technique that determines the mass change of a substance as a function of temperature under the control of a program. It is suitable for examining the loss of solvents in crystals, or the sublimation and decomposition processes of samples, and can infer the presence of crystal water or crystallization solvents in the crystals. The mass change displayed on the TGA curve depends on many factors such as sample preparation and the instrument. The mass change detected by TGA may vary slightly between different instruments and samples. In some examples, the crystal form A of the calcium salt of the present disclosure shows a weight loss of approximately 5.1% at a temperature of about 150° C. According to the instrument conditions used in the experiments of the present disclosure, the mass change has an error tolerance of ±0.3%.
In the context of the present disclosure, the 2θ values in the X-ray powder diffraction patterns are expressed in degrees (°).
