The present invention relates to dihydrate and anhydrous crystalline forms of 5,11-dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-{2-{(1-oxido-4-quinolinyl)oxy}ethyl}-6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2′,3′-e] [1,4]diazepin-6-one.
2. Background Information
5,11-Dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-{2-{(1-oxido-4-quinolinyl)oxy}ethyl}-6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2′,3′-e][1,4]diazepin-6-one is a non-nucleoside HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitor. Its chemical structure is as depicted below.
The synthesis of 5,11-dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-{2-{(1-oxido-4-quinolinyl)oxy}ethyl}-6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2′,3′-e][1,4]diazepin-6-one, its use for the treatment of HIV infection, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising this substance and suitable for this use are described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,420,359 and the corresponding WO0196338.
We have discovered that when 5,11-dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-{2-{(1-oxido-4-quinolinyl)oxy}ethyl}-6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2′,3′-e][1,4]diazepin-6-one is made in the manner described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,420,359 and the corresponding WO0196338 the resulting material is a poorly crystalline trihydrate. We have further discovered that the trihydrate is not the most desirable form of this drug substance to be used in the development of a drug product.
A first aspect of the present invention comprises the discovery of a dihydrate crystalline form of 5,11-dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-{2-{(1-oxido-4-quinolinyl)oxy}ethyl}-6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2′,3′-e][1,4]diazepin-6-one. This dihydrate crystalline form is thermodynamically or kinetically favored at temperatures and humidity's that are most likely to be encountered upon storage of drug substance or drug product and thus pharmaceutically preferred to the trihydrate that is provided by the prior art. The invention also comprises methods for making this dihydrate crystalline form.
We have further discovered that under proper conditions several anhydrous polymorphs of 5,11-dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-{2-{(1-oxido-4-quinolinyl)oxy} ethyl}-6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2′,3′-e][1,4]diazepin-6-one may be formed. One of these, which we designate as anhydrous Form III (AF III), has demonstrated phase stability at some tested ambient conditions, which indicates that it is pharmaceutically acceptable, and biological testing has shown that it leads to higher plasma levels than are attainable using other crystalline forms of the drug. Thus, the invention further includes anhydrous Form III of 5,11-dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-{2-{(1-oxido-4-quinolinyl)oxy}ethyl}-6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2′,3′-e][1,4]diazepin-6-one and methods for its manufacture.

The invention further provides processes for the synthesis of the dihydrate and anhydrous Form III of 5,11-dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-{2-{(1-oxido-4-quinolinyl)oxy}ethyl}-6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2′,3′-e][1,4]diazepin-6-one.
(A) General Synthetic Methods According to the Invention
In most general terms, the dihydrate crystalline form is prepared by recrystallinzing 5,11-dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-{2-{(1-oxido-4-quinolinyl)oxy}ethyl}-6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2′,3′-e][1,4]diazepin-6-one in crude form, prepared by any synthetic method (including but not limited to that described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,420,359 or the corresponding WO0196338), from water. This is accomplished by suspending 5,11-dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-{2-{(1-oxido-4-quinolinyl)oxy}ethyl}-6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2′,3′-e] [1,4]diazepin-6-one in a mixture of water and a solvent which is both water-miscible and a liquid near ambient temperature. Suitable solvents include the lower alkylnitriles (for example acetonitrile and propionitrile), lower alkyl alcohols (C1-C7, for example methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol), cyclic and acyclic ethers including polyethers (for example tetrahydrofuran, dioxane and diglyme), amides (for example dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidinone and dimethylacetamide), sulfoxides (for example DMSO), sulfones (for example sulfolane), lower alkylketones (for example acetone), and lower alkyl nitroalkanes (for example nitromethane). The suspension is heated until a clear solution that is saturated or nearly saturated is obtained. The amount of water must be at least that required to form a stoichiometric dihydrate with the amount of 5,11-dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-{2-{(1-oxido-4-quinolinyl)oxy}ethyl}-6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2′,3′-e][1,4]diazepin-6-one used, and less than about 90% of the overall solvent mixture. If a solution is not obtained, additional volumes of solvent are then added at elevated temperature until a clear solution is formed. The solution is then allowed to cool slowly to a lower temperature, until a crystalline precipitate is first observed. The slurry is then held at that temperature until precipitation has essentially ceased. The precipitate is then removed from solution, for example by filtration. The solid is then dried until all surface solvents have been removed, providing 5,11-dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-{2-{(1-oxido-4-quinolinyl)oxy}ethyl}-6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2′,3′-e][1,4]diazepin-6-one dihydrate.
5,11-Dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-{2-{(1-oxido-4-quinolinyl)oxy}ethyl}-6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2′,3′-e][1,4]diazepin-6-one dihydrate or trihydrate (produced by any method) is dried to remove H2O. This drying can be performed by any means, such as drying in an oven at 23° C. or higher temperature and at atmospheric pressure or under vacuum. It may be dried by vigorous passage of a dry, inert gas over the solid for extended periods, or it may be chemically dried, for example by distillation to remove water with any solvent which can form an azeotropic mixture with water. Exemplary solvents are lower alkylnitriles (such as acetonitrile), lower alkylalcohols (such as ethanol and isopropanol) and ethers (such as dioxane and THF). Drying is performed until analysis shows that <1% water remains. This dry solid is then dissolved in an anhydrous solvent in which 5,11-dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-{2-{(1-oxido-4-quinolinyl)oxy}ethyl}6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2′,3′-e][1,4]diazepin-6-one is soluble (such as, for example, ethanol), at elevated temperature, such that a solution which is saturated or nearly saturated with 5,11-dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-{2-{(1-oxido-4-quinolinyl)oxy}ethyl}-6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2′,3′-e][1,4]diazepin-6-one is obtained. This solution is then allowed to cool slowly to a lower temperature, until a crystalline precipitate is first observed, or optionally seed crystals of 5,11-dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-{2-{(1-oxido-4-quinolinyl)oxy}ethyl}-6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2′,3′-e][1,4]diazepin-6-one Anhydrous Form III (if available) may be added to the original solution. The slurry is then held at this temperature until precipitation is pronounced, then either filtered or cooled further and then filtered. The solid is then dried until all surface solvents have been removed, providing 5,11-dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-{2-{(1-oxido-4-quinolinyl)oxy}ethyl}-6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2′,3′-e][1,4]diazepin-6-one Anhydrous Form III.

The reactor was inerted, then 12.6 Kg H2O and 77.7 Kg EtOH (SDA-2B) were charged, and the mixture heated to 70° C. in the dark. Once in solution, the mixture was transferred hot into a second reactor through an in line polishing filter, using 22.1 Kg of 8:1 EtOH:H2O to aid the transfer and wash out the first reactor. About 22 L of solvent was then removed by atmospheric pressure distillation. To the resulting solution was then added 300 g of 6N HCl to protonate the impurity (˜2%) of ether 5,11-dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-{2-{(4-quinolinyl)oxy}ethyl}-6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2′,3′-e] [1,4]diazepin-6-one.

The mixture was then linearly cooled to 22° C. over 8 hours. The slurry thus obtained was then centrifuged, washing the cake with 15 Kg of 8:1 EtOH:H2O. The solid was dried in the centrifuge until KF water analysis reached 7.5% to give 14.45 Kg of 5,11-dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-{2-{(1-oxido-4-quinolinyl)oxy}ethyl}-6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2′,3′-e] [1,4]diazepin-6-one dihydrate (67% overall yield from intermediate ether 5,11-dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-{2-{(4-quinolinyl)oxy}ethyl}-6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2′,3′-e][1,4]diazepin-6-one C1) as a colorless solid with HPLC purity of 99.1%.

This solid was then charged into an inerted 200 L reactor protected from light. 82 liters anhydrous ethanol was then added, and the resultant slurry heated to reflux. Additional anhydrous ethanol (10 L) was then added to give a clear solution. This solution was then linearly cooled to 67° C. over one hour, and then seeded with 205 g 5,11-dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-{2-{(1-oxido-4-quinolinyl)oxy}ethyl}-6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2′,3′-e][1,4]diazepin-6-one anhydrous Form III added subsurface as a slurry in 2 liters absolute ethanol. The batch was then cooled linearly to 35° C. over 4 hours, and then cooled linearly to 30° C. over 12 hours. The batch was then cooled to 10° C. over one hour, giving a slurry. This mixture was then vacuum distilled (30° C./400 mm), collecting 32 liters of ethanol. The resultant slurry was then cooled to 10° C. over one hour, and then filtered, washing the cake with 6 liters ethanol. The solid was then dried (42° C./51 mm) for 20 hours to give 19.2 Kg (94%) of 5,11-dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-{2-{(1-oxido-4-quinolinyl)oxy}ethyl}-6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2′,3′-e][1,4]diazepin-6-one anhydrous Form III as an off-white solid.

The resulting mixture was agitated well in the dark for 2.5 hours at 22° C., and then cooled to 5° C. To this cold mixture was then slowly added 91.9 Kg 2M Na2S2O3 over 45 minutes, maintaining the internal temperature below 15° C. The mixture was then stirred at 22° C. for 1 hour, and then the organic solvents were removed by distillation at 45° C./50 mm, collecting 31 L of distillate.

22 Kg of 5,11-dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-{2-{(1-oxido-4-quinolinyl)oxy}ethyl}-6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2′,3′-e][1,4]diazepin-6-one dihydrate (46.1 mol, 1 eq.) was placed in a tray drier and dried at 40 mm vacuum and 60° C. until KF water analysis showed H2O content <0.2% (48 hours). The solid (19.5 Kg) was then charged to an inerted 200 L reactor, which was then reinerted. 80 L absolute ethanol (SDA-2B) was then charged, and the mixture was agitated at 100 rpm as the temperature was raised to 82° C. Withdrawal of a reactor aliquot showed a clear solution. The mixture was then cooled to 72° C. and seeded subsurface with 200 g 5,11-dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-{2-{(1-oxido-4-quinolinyl)oxy}ethyl}-6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2′,3′-e][1,4]diazepin-6-one anhydrous Form III as an ethanol slurry. The reactor contents were then linearly cooled to ambient temperature over 18 h, then cooled further to 14° C. and held at this temperature for one hour, then filtered. The resultant cake was then dried to constant weight in a vacuum oven at 60° C. for 24 h to give 19.2 Kg 5,11-dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-{2-{(1-oxido-4-quinolinyl)oxy}ethyl}-6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2′,3′-e][1,4]diazepin-6-one anhydrous Form III (95%) as an off-white solid. Analysis of the material by XRPD and comparison to an authentic standard showed it to be the 5,11-dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-{2-{(1-oxido-4-quinolinyl)oxy}ethyl}-6H-dipyrido[3,2-b:2′,3′-e] [1,4]diazepin-6-one anhydrous Form III polymorph.
