Analysis of Characteristics
The results of XRPD, DSC, DVS and ssNMR analyses of the amorphous form prepared in Comparative Example 1 are shown in
The amorphous form failed to show any particular diffraction pattern in an XRPD spectrum.

Additionally, the amorphous form showed a very high level of water absorption in the region with a relative humidity of 10% to 90% in a DVS. From these results, the above amorphous form was expected to be unstable under a long-term storage condition (e.g., a temperature of 25° C. and a relative humidity of 60%) and under an accelerated condition (e.g., a temperature of 40° C. and a relative humidity of 75%) due to absorption of water, and in fact, was shown to have a hygroscopicity of 13% to 15% under conditions of a temperature of 25° C. and a relative humidity of 60%; and a temperature of 40° C. and a relative humidity of 75%.
Additionally, the amorphous form showed a significant fluctuation in its water content, as measured by a Karl Fischer titrator, showing a water content of 4% to 8% (theoretical water content value: 8.81%). The melting point was not particularly specified and the decomposition at about 250° C. was observed.

In order to measure water solubility, each sample of the polymorphs of the hydrochloride salts of the compound of Formula 1, prepared in Examples 1 to 7, was prepared in non-ionic water under the conditions described below. Each of the solutions was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) according to the conditions for measurement of contents of the compound of Formula 1, and the amount dissolved based on the amount of the compound of Formula 1 was measured (LOD: >0.001 mg/mL), and the values were calculated. The results are shown in Table 16 below.
Specifically, each sample of the polymorphs in an amount of 500 mg was added to 5 mL of water, blended at 2θ° C. to 25° C. using a Voltamixer, and filtered with a GH Polypro membrane Acrodisc, PALL (pore size: 0.2 μm). The filtrate was diluted with a diluent used for HPLC in a 1:100 ratio to obtain the samples.
As shown in Table 16 above, the solubility of the hydrochloride salt of the compound of Formula 1 was significantly higher than that of the compound (free base) of Formula 1. In particular, the solubility of the crystalline form of the dihydrochloride salt of the compound of Formula 1 was significantly higher than that of the monohydrochloride, and the crystalline form of Example 1 showed the highest water solubility among the crystalline polymorphs of the dihydrochloride salt.
Accordingly, considering the conditions such as elution, etc., the crystalline form of Example 1 (the dihydrochloride hydrate, preferably monohydrate, (Type A) of the compound of Formula 1) is expected to be most advantageous from the aspect of a pharmaceutical composition.
