The present disclosure relates to a) crystalline forms of {2-[3-cyclohexyl-3-(trans-4-propoxy-cyclohexyl)-ureido]-thiazol-5-ylsulfanyl}-acetic acid (“Compound I” or “API”); b) pharmaceutical compositions, comprising one or more crystalline forms of {2-[3-cyclohexyl-3-(trans-4-propoxy-cyclohexyl)-ureido]-thiazol-5-ylsulfanyl}-acetic acid, and optionally, a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier; and c) methods of treating a type of diabetes mellitus and other disorders by administering one or more crystalline forms of {2-[3-cyclohexyl-3-(trans-4-propoxy-cyclohexyl)-ureido]-thiazol-5-ylsulfanyl}-acetic acid to a subject in need thereof.
Glucokinase (“GK”) is a key regulator of glucose homeostasis and acts as the physiological glucose sensor, changing its conformation, activity, and/or intracellular location in parallel with changes in glucose concentrations. GK has two main distinctive characteristics that make it a good choice for blood glucose control. First, its expression is mostly limited to tissues that require glucose-sensing (mainly liver and pancreatic β-cells). Second, GK is able to sense changes in serum glucose levels and modulate changes in liver glucose metabolism that in turn regulate the balance between hepatic glucose production (HGP) and glucose consumption, and to modulate changes in insulin secretion by the beta-cells. The concept of GK activation for the treatment of diabetes is attractive because it has proven to be effective and safe in normalizing glycemia in animal models of type 1 and type 2 diabetes by a mechanism entirely distinct from the action of antidiabetic therapies currently on the market.
Although multiple small-molecule activators of GK have been in clinical development, their initial therapeutic promise has been hampered by the occurrence of hypoglycemia, increased triglycerides (TG) concentrations, and loss of efficacy over time. These adverse events (AEs) were related to ongoing R cell activation. Compound I, a hepatoselective agent, does not cause similar adversarial effects. (Vella et al., Science Translational Medicine 16 Jan. 2019).
Compound I is an oral, small molecule, liver selective glucokinase activator that improves glycemic control and may not induce hypoglycemia, dyslipidemia, or pathological increases of glycogen and TG in the liver at therapeutically relevant doses. (Vella et al., Science Translational Medicine 16 Jan. 2019).
Not all compounds that are GK activators have characteristics affording the best potential to become useful therapeutics. Some of these characteristics include high affinity at the glucokinase, duration of glucokinase activation, oral bioavailability, tissue distribution, and stability (e.g., ability to formulate or crystallize, shelf life). Favorable characteristics can lead to improved safety, tolerability, efficacy, therapeutic index, patient compliance, cost efficiency, manufacturing ease, etc.
In addition, the isolation and commercial-scale preparation of a crystalline form of Compound I and corresponding pharmaceutical formulations having acceptable solid state properties (including chemical stability, thermal stability, solubility, hygroscopicity, and/or particle size), compound manufacturability (including yield, impurity rejection during crystallization, filtration properties, drying properties, and milling properties), and formulation feasibility (including stability with respect to pressure or compression forces during tableting) present a number of challenges.
Accordingly, there is a current need for one or more crystalline forms of Compound I that have an acceptable balance of these properties and can be used in the preparation of pharmaceutically acceptable solid dosage forms.

In one aspect, each component is “pharmaceutically acceptable” in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of a pharmaceutical formulation, and suitable for use in contact with the tissue or organ of humans and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, immunogenicity, or other problems or complications, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. See Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st Edition, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins: Philadelphia, Pa., 2005; Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients, 5th Edition, Rowe et al., Eds., The Pharmaceutical Press and the American Pharmaceutical Association: 2005; and Handbook of Pharmaceutical Additives, 3rd Edition, Ash and Ash Eds., Gower Publishing Company: 2007; Pharmaceutical Preformulation and Formulation, Gibson Ed., CRC Press LLC: Boca Raton, Fla., 2004 (incorporated herein by reference).
The terms “about” or “approximately” means an acceptable error for a particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, which depends in part on how the value is measured or determined. In certain aspects, the term “about” or “approximately” means within 1, 2, 3, or 4 standard deviations. In certain embodiments, the term “about” or “approximately” means within 50%, 20%, 15%, 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, 0.5%, or 0.05% of a given value or range.

The term “solvate” or “solvated” refers to a compound provided herein or a salt thereof, which further includes a stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amount of solvent bound by non-covalent intermolecular forces. Where the solvent is water, the solvate is a hydrate. Where the solvent includes ethanol, the compound can be an ethanol solvate.
The term “polymorph” as used herein refers to a crystalline form of a compound or a salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof, in a particular crystal packing arrangement. All polymorphs have the same elemental composition. The term “crystalline,” as used herein, refers to a solid state form which consists of orderly arrangement of structural units. Different crystalline forms of the same compound, or a salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof, arise from different packing of the molecules in the solid state, which results in different crystal symmetries and/or unit cell parameter. Different crystalline forms usually have different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, melting points, density, hardness, crystal shape, optical and electrical properties, stability, and solubility. See, e.g., Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th ed., Mack Publishing, Easton Pa., 173 (1990); The United States Pharmacopeia, 23rd ed., 1843-1844 (1995) (incorporated herein by reference).
Crystalline forms are most commonly characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). An XRPD pattern of reflections (peaks, typically expressed in degrees 2-theta) is commonly considered a fingerprint of a particular crystalline form. The relative intensities of the XRPD peaks can widely vary depending on, inter alia, the sample preparation technique, crystal size distribution, filters, the sample mounting procedure, and the particular instrument employed. In some instances, new peaks may be observed or existing peaks may disappear, depending on the type of instrument or the settings. In some instances, any particular peak in an XRPD pattern may appear as a singlet, doublet, triplet, quartet, or multiplet, depending on the type of instrument or the settings, the sensitivity of the instrument, measuring conditions, and/or purity of the crystalline form. In some instances, any particular peak in an XRPD may appear in a symmetric shape or in an asymmetric shape, e.g., having a shoulder. Moreover, instrument variation and other factors can affect the 2-theta values. A skilled artisan understanding these variations is capable of discriminating or ascertaining the defining features or characteristics of a particular crystal form using XRPD, as well as using other known physicochemical techniques.
The term “anhydrate” or “anhydrous” as applied to a compound refers to a solid state wherein the compound contains no structural water within the crystal lattice.
Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “comprise,” “comprises,” and “comprising” are used on the basis and clear understanding that they are to be interpreted inclusively, rather than exclusively, and that Applicant intends each of those words to be so interpreted in construing this patent, including the claims below.
For all embodiments disclosed herein, a peak positional reproducibility is associated with the values of degree-20 (XRPD), ppm (13C solid state NMR), and cm−1 (IR). Accordingly, it will be understood that all peaks disclosed herein have the value disclosed ±the peak positional reproducibility associated with each analytical technique. The XRPD peak positional reproducibility is ±0.2 expressed in degree-20. The 13C NMR peak positional reproducibility is +0.2 ppm. The IR peak positional reproducibility is ±2 cm−1.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. In case of conflict, the present application including the definitions will control.

Slurry triburation experiments target the stable forms, including stable solvates and hydrates.
The slurry-trituration experiments were conducted by stirring solids of Compound I in specified solvents and solvent mixtures at various temperatures for 7 days (elevated temperature) or 14-18 days (ambient and sub-ambient temperatures). A summary of experimental conditions and results is detailed in Table 13.
Solids of Compound I unless noted otherwise, was used as the starting material. Materials produced in the study were utilized for selected experiments.
Method a: Evaporation Experiments
Solutions of starting material were allowed to partially evaporate or evaporate to dryness at ambient or elevated temperature from open vials for fast evaporation (FE) or from vials covered with aluminum foil with pin holes for slow evaporation (SE). Prior to evaporation, solutions were filtered at ambient or elevated temperature using 0.2 μm nylon filters.
Method b: Cooling Experiments
Solutions of starting material were prepared in specified solvents at elevated temperature using a hot plate for heating. These were typically hot-filtered through a 0.2 μm nylon filter into warm receiving vials. The vials were either quickly transferred into a sub-ambient temperature bath (typically dry ice/acetone) for crash cooling (CC), removed from the hot place for fast cooling (FC) or the heat was turned off to allow for slow cooling (SC). If solids precipitated, they were isolated cold by vacuum filtration. If the solution remained clear, the sample was either kept at sub-ambient temperatures or further crystallization techniques were applied.
Method c: Slurry Experiments
Solids were suspended in specified solvents. The suspensions were then agitated at ambient or set temperature. After a given amount of time solids were isolated.
Method d: Solvent/Anti-Solvent Precipitation
Solutions of starting material were prepared at ambient or elevated temperature and filtered using 0.2 μm nylon filters. They were then mixed with appropriate anti-solvents at elevated temperature. If no solids were observed, the samples were either cooled to ambient or sub-ambient temperatures or other crystallization techniques applied.
Polymorph screening was performed using various solvent-based techniques including evaporation, cooling, slurry, solvent/anti-solvent addition, and combinations of these techniques. Detailed experimental conditions, observations, and XRPD results are summarized in Table 14.
Table 15 summarizes the preparation conditions for selected materials.
Table 16 summarizes the drying conditions for selected materials
In order to identify the thermodynamically most stable anhydrous form among Form A, Form D, Form B, and Form E, competitive slurries were performed in acetone at 2-8° C., ambient temperature, and 45° C.
At each condition, similar amounts of solids from the four forms/materials were slurried in pre-saturated solutions at the examined temperature conditions for 7 days; solids were then isolated and analyzed wet by XRPD. The detailed experimental conditions and XRPD results are summarized in Table 17.
X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD)
XRPD patterns were collected with a PANalytical X'Pert PRO MPD or Empyrean diffractometer using an incident beam of Cu radiation produced using an Optix long, fine-focus source. An elliptically graded multilayer mirror was used to focus Cu Ku X-ray radiation through the specimen and onto the detector. Prior to the analysis, a silicon specimen (NIST SRM 640e) was analyzed to verify the observed position of the Si (111) peak is consistent with the NIST-certified position. A specimen of the sample was sandwiched between 3-μm-thick films and analyzed in transmission geometry. A beam-stop, short antiscatter extension, and antiscatter knife-edge were used to minimize the background generated by air. Soller slits for the incident and diffracted beams were used to minimize broadening from axial divergence. Diffraction patterns were collected using a scanning position-sensitive detector (X'Celerator) located 240 mm from the specimen and Data Collector software v. 5.5.
Thermogravimetric Analysis and Differential Scanning Calorimetry Combination Analyses (TGA/DSC)
TGA/DSC combination analyses were performed using a Mettler Toledo TGA/DSC3+ analyzer. Temperature and enthalpy adjustments were performed using indium, tin, and zinc, and then verified with indium. Balance was verified with calcium oxalate. The sample was placed in an aluminum pan. The pan was hermetically sealed, the lid pierced, then inserted into the TG furnace. A weighed aluminum pan configured as the sample pan was placed on the reference platform. The furnace was heated under nitrogen.
Dynamic Vapor Sorption (DVS)
Moisture sorption/desorption data were collected on a Surface Measurement System DVS Intrinsic instrument. Samples were not dried prior to analysis. For the as received lot, sorption and desorption data were collected over a range from 5% to 95% RH at 10% RH increments. The equilibrium criterion used for analysis was less than 0.0100% weight change in 5 minutes with a maximum equilibration time of 3 hours. Data were not corrected for the initial moisture content of the samples.
Hot Stage Microscopy (HSM)
Hot stage microscopy was performed using a Linkam hot stage (FTIR 600) mounted on a Leica DM LP microscope equipped with a SPOT Insight™ color digital camera. Temperature calibrations were performed using USP melting point standards. Samples were placed on a cover glass, and a second cover glass was placed on top of the sample. As the stage was heated, each sample was visually observed using a 20×objective, 0.40 NA with crossed polarizers and a first order red compensator. Images were captured using SPOT software (v. 4.5.9).
Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM)
PLM was performed using a Leica DM LP microscope equipped with a Spot Insight color camera. Crossed-polarized light was used with a first order red compensator. Various objectives were used to view the sample. Samples were suspended either in mineral oil or the dispersant selected for the method. Images were acquired at ambient temperature using Spot Advanced software (v.4.5.9). Micrometer bars were inserted onto the images as a reference for size. Particle sizes were measured using an eyepiece reticle scale calibrated using a NIST traceable stage micrometer.
Proton Solution Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (1H NMR)
The solution NMR spectra were acquired with a Bruker AVANCE 600 MHz Spectrometer using DMSO-d6.
Carbon-13 Solid State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (13C solid state NMR)
The 13C solid-state cross polarization magic angle spinning (CP/MAS) NMR spectrum was acquired at ambient temperature on an Agilent DD2-400 spectrometer (Larmor frequencies: 13C=100.549 MHz, 1H=399.812 MHz). The sample was packed into a 4 mm PENCIL type zirconia rotor and rotated at 12 kHz at the magic angle. The spectrum was acquired with phase modulated (SPINAL-64) high power 1H decoupling during the acquisition time using a 1H pulse width of 2.6 μs (90°), a ramped amplitude cross polarization contact time of 5 ms, a 30 ms acquisition time, a 10 second delay between scans, a spectral width of 45 kHz with 2678 data points, and 1600 co-added scans. The free induction decay (FID) was processed using Agilent VnmrJ 3.2A software with 65536 points and an exponential line broadening factor of 10 Hz to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. The first three data points of the FID were back predicted using the VNMR linear prediction algorithm to produce a flat baseline. The chemical shifts of the spectral peaks were externally referenced to the carbonyl carbon resonance of glycine at 176.5 ppm.
Infrared Spectroscopy (IR)
The IR spectrum was acquired using a Nicolet 6700 Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrophotometer (Thermo Nicolet) equipped with an Ever-Glo mid/far IR source, a potassium bromide (KBr) beamsplitter, and a deuterated triglycine sulfate (DTGS) detector. Wavelength verification was performed using NIST SRM 1921b (polystyrene). An attenuated total reflectance (ATR) accessory (Thunderdome™, Thermo Spectra-Tech) equipped with a germanium (Ge) crystal was used for data acquisition. The spectrum represents 256 co-added scans collected at a spectral resolution of 4 cm−1. A background data set was acquired with a clean Ge crystal. A Log 1/R (R=reflectance) spectrum was obtained by taking a ratio of these two data sets against each other.
XRPD Indexing
The high-resolution XRPD pattern of Compound I was indexed using X'Pert High Score Plus 2.2a (2.2.1) in this study. Indexing and structure refinement are computational studies. Agreement between the allowed peak positions, marked with red bars, and the observed peaks indicates a consistent unit cell determination. Successful indexing of the pattern indicates that the sample is composed primarily of a single crystalline phase. Space groups consistent with the assigned extinction symbol, unit cell parameters, and derived quantities are tabulated below each figure showing tentative indexing solution. To confirm the tentative indexing solution, the molecular packing motifs within the crystallographic unit cells must be determined. No attempts at molecular packing were performed.
Multiple crystalline materials of Compound I were observed in this study, including Forms A-J.
Forms A, B, D, and E are anhydrous materials of Compound I. Among them, Form A is likely the most stable form within 2-8° C. to 45° C. based on results from competitive slurries.
Form C is likely a DCM solvate which desolvates into Form D. Form F is also a solvated material and converts to Form D upon drying.
