EXAMPLES

Solvents used in the following examples were of reagent-grade quality and were used without further purification. Known forms of Compound A are indicated by A0 and B0 for anhydrous material and Hd for hydrate.


X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD).


Standard Reflection Mode Measurements:


Powder X-ray diffraction patterns were recorded on a PANalytical X Pert Pro diffractometer equipped with an X′celerator detector using CuKα radiation at 45 kV and 40 mA. Kα1 radiation was obtained with a highly oriented crystal (Ge111) incident beam monochromator. A 10 mm beam mask, and fixed (¼°) divergence and anti-scatter (⅛°) slits were inserted on the incident beam side. A fixed 5 mm receiving slit and a 0.04 radian Soller block were inserted on the diffracted beam side. The X-ray powder pattern scan was collected from ca. 2 to 40° 2θ with a 0.0080° step size and 96.06 sec counting time which resulted in a scan rate of approximately 0.5°/min. The sample was spread on silicon zero background (ZBG) plate for the measurement. The sample was rotated using a PANalytical PW3064 Spinner (15 revolutions/min.).


Measurement of the Si reference standard before the data collection resulted in values for 2θ and intensity that were well within the tolerances of 28.44<2θ<28.50 and significantly greater than the minimum peak height of 150 cps.


SCXRD—Single Crystal X-ray Diffraction:


For data collection, a piece (0.12×0.04×0.03 mm3) was broken from a clump of about three or four separate pieces to give an apparently single crystal. The crystal was mounted on a fine glass fiber with the aid of polyisobutene oil (also known as PARATONE) onto a Bruker-Nonius X8 Proteum diffractometer attached to a Nonius FR-591 rotating anode (CuKa) with ‘Helios’ focusing optics. The crystal was maintained at 90K throughout with a CryoCool LT2 from CryoIndustries of America. Diffraction images for indexing clearly showed split reflections, consistent with either cracking or twinning, but with spot components that were close enough to be integrated together. The relative intensities of pairs of split reflections suggested that cracking was more likely than twinning.


The crystal was indexed from the reflections found in 72 diffraction images (six sets of twelve 0.5° frames). Data collection consisted of 1485 2° frames in 15 scans at three detector swing angles (two 360° φ-scans at −40° in 2θ, three 90° ω-scans at −45° in 2θ, four 360° φ-scans at −96° in 2θ and six 90° ω-scans at −96° in 2θ) sufficient to cover reciprocal space for an arbitrarily oriented triclinic crystal to a resolution of 0.83 Å with four-fold redundancy. Data were integrated, scaled, averaged and merged using the programs in the APEX2 package from Bruker-AXS. Final cell parameters were derived from the output diagnostics of the integration process. The structure was solved by standard direct methods using SHELXS and refined using SHELXL, both from the SHELX97 package. Diagrams were drawn using XP from the SHELXTL suite and with Mercury from the CCDC. Additional molecular graphics and void calculation were done with Platon.


Positional and anisotropic displacement parameters of all non-hydrogen atoms were refined. The H atoms were located in a difference Fourier's map, but those attached to carbon atoms were repositioned geometrically. The H atoms were initially refined with soft restraints on the bond lengths and angles to regularize their geometry (C—H in the range 0.93-0.98 and N—H to 0.86 Å) and Uiso(H) (in the range 1.2-1.5 times Ueq of the parent atom), after which the positions were refined with riding constraints.


Default Reitveld refinement of the single crystal unit cell parameters against the measured XRPD pattern gave a good fit with no unexplained peaks.


Variable Temperature X-Ray Powder Diffraction (VT-XRPD):


Variable temperature studies were performed with an Anton Paar CHC temperature/humidity chamber under computer control through an Anton Paar TCU110 temperature control unit.


Typically the measurements were done with a nitrogen flow through the camera. Two measurement schemes were used, restricted and continuous. In the restricted mode, measurements were made, only after the CHC chamber reached the requested temperature. In the continuous mode, the sample was heated at 10° C./minute and fast scans were measured as the temperature changed. In both cases, after the requested temperature was reached, the sample was cooled at 35° C./minute and a slow scan was measured at 25° C. The slow 20 scans were collected from ca. 3 to 30° or 40° with a 0.0080° step size and 100.97 sec counting time which resulted in a scan rate of approximately 0.5°/min. The fast scans were collected from ca. 3 to 30° 2θ with a 0.0167° step size and 1.905 sec counting time which resulted in a scan rate of approximately 44°/min.


The temperatures chosen were based on DSC results.


For the diffractometer set-up a 10 mm beam mask, 0.04 radian Soller slits, and fixed (¼°) divergence and anti-scatter (⅛°) slits were inserted on the incident beam side. A fixed 5 mm receiving slit, 0.04 radian Soller slits and a 0.02 mm Nickel filter were inserted on the diffracted beam side.


Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC):


Thermal curves were acquired using a Perkin-Elmer Sapphire DSC unit equipped with an autosampler running Pyris software version 6.0 calibrated with Indium prior to analysis. Solid samples of 1-10 mg were weighed into 20 μL aluminum pin hole sample pans. The DSC cell was then purged with nitrogen and the temperature heated from 0 to 270° C. at 10° C./min. Indium (Tm=156.6° C.; ΔHFUS=28.45 J g−1) was used for calibration.


Modulated Differential Scanning Calorimetry (MDSC):


Thermal curves were acquired using a TA Q200 Modulated DSC unit. Solid samples of 5-20 mg were weighed into 50 μL aluminum pinhole hermetically sealed pans. The MDSC cell was then purged with nitrogen and the temperature heated at 2° C./min from 0° C. to 350° C. at 2° C./min with a modulation amplitude of +/−1° C. over a 60 second period.


Thermogravimetric Mass Spectrometry (TGA/MS):


Thermal curves were acquired using a Perkin-Elmer Pyris 1 TGA unit running Pyris software version 6.0 calibrated with alumel (95% nickel, 2% manganese, 2% aluminum and 1% silicon), nickel and calcium oxalate monohydrate. TGA samples between 1-5 mg were monitored for percent weight loss as heated from 25 to 250° C. at 10° C./min in a furnace purged with Helium at ca. 50 mL/min. To simultaneously follow the evolution of the gaseous decomposition products over the temperature range investigated, the thermobalance was connected to a ThermoStar Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer (Asslar, Germany). The transfer line to introduce gaseous decomposition products into the mass spectrometer was a deactivated fused silica capillary (SGE Analytical science, Fused Silica (100% Methyl Deactivated), 220 mm OD, 150 mm ID, Australia) temperature controlled to 200° C. to avoid possible condensation of the evolved gases. In this way the TGA weight loss and the mass spectrometric ion intensity curves of the selected ionic species could be recorded simultaneously.


Dynamic Vapor Sorption (DVS):


DVS experiments have been carried out using the DVS-HT instrument (Surface Measurement Systems, London, UK). This instrument measures the uptake and loss of vapor gravimetrically using a recording ultra-microbalance with a mass resolution of ±0.1 μg. The vapor partial pressure (±1.0%) around the sample is controlled by mixing saturated and dry carrier gas streams using electronic mass flow controllers. The desired temperature is maintained at ±0.1° C. The samples (1-10 mg) were placed into the DVS-HT and DVS-1 instruments at the desired temperature.


The sample was loaded and unloaded at 40% RH and 25° C. (typical room conditions). A moisture sorption isotherm was performed as outlined below (2 scans giving 1 complete cycle). The software uses a least squares minimization procedure together with a model of the mass relaxation, to predict an asymptotic value. The measured mass equilibration value must be within 2% of that predicted by the software before proceeding to the next % RH value. The minimum equilibration time was set to 1 hour and the maximum to 4 hours.

Microscopic observation of the sample morphology was performed using an Olympus B60 polarized light microscope. Samples were suspended in mineral oil and compressed on a glass slide with a cover slip prior to observation. Images were taken with a FW-24 (PAX CAM) camera. A 10× objective coupled with an additional 10× magnification from the microscope optics gave a total magnification of 100×. PAX-it software (Version 6.2) was used to capture and analyze the images.


Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (1H-NMR):


The stoichiometry of the salts were determined by 1H-NMR spectroscopy using a Bruker DPX400 instrument running under conditions optimized to give the best available spectrum for each sample. Each sample (2-4 mg) was dissolved in 0.75 mL DMSO-d6 and spectrum obtained in thin walled glass tubes (4×14 mm).


Identity, Assay, and Purity by HPLC


Equipment:


Testing was performed on a calibrated and validated Agilent 1200 Rapid Resolution High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) system designated LC-0430-AD or LC-418-1D. The system comprises a binary SL pump, degasser, high performance autosampler SL with a fraction collector, thermostated column compartment with a 2 valve column switcher, and a DAD SL detector. All standard solutions and samples were prepared in Class A glass volumetric flasks and were placed in autosampler vials. Standard weighings were done using a calibrated Mettler analytical balance. The sample preparations were centrifuged using an Eppendorf microcentrifuge. The primary chromatography data was acquired and integrated using Empower 2 software. Microsoft Office Excel 2003 was used for the calculation of results.


Reagents:


Acetonitrile was obtained from CCI. Trifluoroacetic acid was obtained from EMD. HPLC grade water (18 MΩ·cm) was obtained from the laboratory Barnstead Nanopure system UPW-0403-AD located in laboratory A211. Compounds A and B were prepared as previously described.

Solid State Stability of Salts at 40° C. and 75% Humidity:


Samples of the form to be studied (15-20 mg) were weighed into standard 1.5 mL HPLC vials (32×11.6 mm) and stored uncapped for 0, 7, 14 and 28 days in a 40° C. and 75% RH stability chamber. Samples were removed on the indicated day and capped. Measurements of XRPD, DSC, TGA and HPLC Identity by Purity and Assay measurements were completed on each time point sample.


Estimation of Water Solubility:


Ten mg portions of the salt forms to be studied were weighed into a standard 1.5 mL HPLC vial (32×11.6 mm). A stir bar and 100 μL of water were added to each vial. The samples were capped and stirred for 5-10 minutes. If a clear solution was not obtained by visual inspection, an additional 100-300 μL portion of water was added and stirred. This process was repeated until the sample dissolved or until 1000 μL of water was added. An estimation of solubility was based on the volume of water necessary to dissolve the known weight of sample. The results from these measurements are presented in Table 11.

Example 1. Salts with Two Equivalents of Acid in Acetone by Maturation

200 mg of Compound A (0.478 mmoles) was dissolved with warming and stirring in each of five-20 mL scintillation vials in 15 mL of acetone. 1.95 equivalents of acetic, glycolic, L-malic, or L-malic (1 Eq., 0.48 mmoles) acids were added to the clear Compound A solutions. As soon as these acids were added, the clear solutions became cloudy and began crystallizing. The vials were subject to two cycles of maturation on the HEL unit. Each cycle of maturation consisted of heating to 50° C. over a period of one hour, holding at 50° C. for four hours, cooling over a period of one hour to 5° C., and holding at 5° C. for four hours. The solid was isolated by suction filtration and solid dried overnight at 50° C. and house vacuum (˜200 mm) to give yellow solids. The results are presented in Table 2.

Example 5. One Equivalent in Acetone-Slow Cooling

A solution of 240 mg of Compound A (0.57 mmoles) was prepared in 12 mL of acetone and warmed with stirring to dissolve. Twelve equal aliquots of this solution will give 20 mg (0.0478 mmoles) of Compound A in 1 mL of acetone in each vial. The weight of acid corresponding to 1.05 equivalents (0.06 mmoles) of acid was weighed or added by pipette if liquid to 12 1.5 mL HPLC vials. To each vial one of the aliquots of Compound A was added. The vials were capped and warmed with stirring to mix and subject to 2 cycles of slow cooling on the HEL unit. Each cycle of slow cooling on the HEL unit consisted of heating over a period of 1 hour to 80° C. holding for 1 hour at 80° C. and then cooling over a period of 5 hours to 5° C. and holding at 5° C. for 16-18 hours. Solid was isolated by suction filtration and samples were dried at 50° C. overnight at house vacuum (˜200 mm). The results are presented in Table 6.

Example 6. Preparation of Ascorbate Salt

200 mg of Compound A (0.478 mmoles) was weighed into a 20 mL glass scintillation vial with a stirring bar followed by 88.4 mg (0.503 mmoles, 1.05 equivalents) of ascorbic acid (J.T. Baker Anhydrous Lot B36597). 2.5 ml of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol was added by pipette and the sample was warmed. The slurry that formed was subject to 2 cycles of slow cooling on the HEL unit. Each cycle of slow cooling on the HEL unit consisted of heating over a period of 1 hour to 80° C., holding for 1 hour at 80° C., and then cooling over a period of 5 hours to 5° C. and holding at 5° C. for 16-18 hours. Solid was isolated by suction filtration and samples were dried at 50° C. overnight at house vacuum (˜200 mm) to give 142 mg of yellow solid (49% yield). The crystalline product was analyzed by HPLC and gave 96.2% of Compound B and 0.8% of Compound A. The structure of the Compound B salt was confirmed by 1H-NMR.

XRPD


The X-ray diffraction data for the acetate salt, Form A1.5, is given in FIG. 3 and Table 7. Variable temperature XRPD measurements in requested mode (165° C. and 200° C.) showed two changes in Form—from the acetate to Form B0 and then conversion to Form A0. In continuous mode, using one minute scans from 5.5° to 11.5° and a 1° C./minute temperature ramp, three changes in form were noted, acetate to Freebase B0, B0 to A0 and A0 to amorphous (FIG. 4). The acetate slowly converts to freebase Form B0 over the temperature range 91° C. to 130° C. The form changes from B0 to A0 between 197° C. and 200° C. (FIG. 5).

*The use of ZBG or glass plates typically introduces a positive sample height displacement and results in small (0.05° to 0.2°) offset in 2θ values. The highest peak (intensity 100%) is set in bold letters.






Thermal Analysis


The DSC curve of the acetate salt, Form A1.5, shows the presence of one endothermic/degradation peak; at 185.4° C. having a ΔHFus of 172.0 J/g (FIG. 6). The acetate salt had a weight loss of 29.5% between 25 and 150° C.


Water Sorption


The DVS plot in FIG. 7 indicates that the sample appears to be saturated from the onset. There is a steady weight loss during the drying curves with no equilibration reached. The sample was dried at 0% RH for 4 hours for each cycle. There were 4 cycles run, showing a continuing weight loss. The experiment was repeated on another DVS unit and showed similar results.



1H-NMR Spectoscopy


The 1H-NMR spectrum showed all of the peaks expected for Compound A. The peak at about 7.5 ppm was normalized to the one aromatic proton expected to absorb in this region. The remainder of the peaks associated with Compound A then followed in the proper ratio. For the acetate salt, only one peak is expected at 1.9-2.0 ppm. This peak should integrate for 3 protons. Instead, it showed about 4.5 protons, about 1.5 acetic acid molecules per Compound A molecule.


Stability


The data is given in Table 8 for the aging of the acetate salt, Form A1.5, at 40° C. and 75% RH. The XRPD, changes throughout the 28 day test period. The TGA and Compound A Assay values are probably reflecting loss of acetic acid as seen in the thermal and XRPD work cited above. DSC, HPLC Purity and Compound B assay are relatively constant during the study. A monoacetate salt should assay as 87.5% Compound A. A diacetate salt should Assay as 77.7% Compound A. The values in Table 8, suggest that the salt is changing composition as it aged. The 1H-NMR measured 1.5 molecules of acetic acid per molecule of Compound A. The XRPD pattern showed peaks for a hydrate Compound A Free Base, Form Ha. Possibly as the sample aged the excess acetic acid volatilized. The volatility of acetic acid and the changing XRPD pattern suggest that another candidate be chosen.

Compound A, Glycolate Salt Hydrate, Form A1

Preparation


The salt was prepared according to Example 1.


XRPD


The X-ray diffraction data for the glycolate hydrate salt, Form A1, is given in FIG. 9 and Table 9. Overlaid scans for variable temperature XRPD measurements are shown in FIG. 10. The initial XRPD pattern compared to glycolate hydrate Form A1. There was no change on exposure to a dry N2 atmosphere. During the one hour slow scan measurement at 175° C., the pattern changed. There is an increase in peak intensities on heating from 175° C. to 225° C. It did not compare to known Compound A freebase patterns. The sample on the plate at the end of the measurements was a dark brown powder which did not have the appearance of passing through a melt. The patterns observed after heating to 175° C. and 225° C. partially compares to Compound B. This is consistent with the DSC which shows changes after 130° C. and a melt at 205° C. Both the VT-XRPD and the DSC were consistent with the loss of glycolic acid and conversion to Compound B.

Thermal Analysis


The DSC curve of the glycolate hydrate salt, Form A1, shows the presence of two different endothermic peaks; one at 77.4° C. having a ΔHFus of 63.4 J/g and a second peak at 209.0° C. and a ΔHFus of 170.9 J/g (FIG. 11). The glycolate hydrate salt had a weight loss of 1.9% between 25 and 150° C.


Water Sorption


The DVS plot in FIG. 12 indicated that there was surface adsorption with limited bulk absorption throughout the entire RH range. The total uptake in moisture at 90% RH is ˜3.5%.



1H-NMR Spectroscopy


The spectrum gives all of the peaks necessary for Compound A. After normalization of the integration to one proton in the aromatic region at about 7.5 ppm for Compound A, there is a two proton singlet at about 3.9 ppm for the two protons associated with the methylene group of glycolic acid. This indicated a 1:1 mole ratio of Compound A to glycolic acid in the salt.


Stability


The data given in Table 10 indicate that this salt is fairly stable to the test conditions. A modest increase in Compound B is noted after 28 days. A monoglycolate salt, as the 1H-NMR indicated, should have a Compound A Assay of 84.5% Compound A. Increasing loss in TGA suggests increasing water content, for example, 3.5% loss would be expected for a water to Compound A ratio of 1:1.

Compound A, L-Malate Salt, Form A1

Preparation


The salt was prepared according to Example 1.


XRPD


The X-ray diffraction data for the malate salt, Form A1, is given in FIG. 14 and Table 11. Overlaid slow scans for a VT-XRPD study are shown in FIG. 15.


The initial XRPD pattern is as expected. There is no change in form on exposure to a dry N2 atmosphere (FIG. 15). There is a change when the sample is held at 175° C. for an hour. The fast scan measured when 175° C. was first reached compares to the starting pattern. The crystallinity is almost completely gone in the fast scan measured after 175° C. The slow scan pattern observed for this sample after heating to 175° C. and cooling to 25° C. partially compares to the pattern for Compound B. This observation is consistent with thermal decomposition to Compound B.

*The use of ZBG or glass plates typically introduces a positive sample height displacement and results in small (0.05° to 0.2°) offset in 2θ values. The highest peak (intensity 100%) is set in bold letters.






Thermal Analysis


The DSC curve of the malate salt, Form A1 shows the presence of one endothermic peak; at 186.4° C. having a ΔHFus of 75.7 J/g (FIG. 16). The malate salt had a weight loss of 1.0% between 25 and 150° C.


Water Sorption


The DVS plot in (FIG. 17) indicated there was very little water absorption during the first cycle from 40% RH to 70% RH. Only surface adsorption is occurring. At 80% RH is an increase in water uptake. The large hysteresis gap is due to bulk absorption. The total uptake is ˜2%. The isotherm is irreversible.



1H-NMR Spectroscopy


All of the peaks expected for Compound A are present. After normalization of the one aromatic proton at 7.5 ppm, there is a one proton triplet at about 4.05 ppm that is consistent with L-malic acid. This established the 1:1 stoichiometry for the Compound A L-malic acid salt in Form A1.


Stability


The data in Table 12 show that the L-malate salt is stable to the test conditions with a constant XRPD, DSC, TGA and HPLC Purity values (MJJ3331-49). An increase in Compound B is observed after 28 days. As with the glycolate hydrate salt, the L-malate Assay value for Compound A is lower than the 75.8% value expected.

*The use of ZBG or glass plates typically introduces a positive sample height displacement and results in small (0.05° to 0.2°) offset in 2θ values. The highest peak (intensity 100%) is set in bold letters.






Thermal Analysis


The DSC curve of the L-malate salt, Form A15, shows the presence of one endothermic peak; at 160.4° C. having a ΔHFus of 39.2 J/g (FIG. 20). The L-malate salt had a weight loss of 3.6% between 25 and 150° C. This Form melts at a much lower temperature and has a larger weight loss than the malate salt, Form A1.



1H-NMR Spectroscopy


The 1H-NMR spectrum of the L-malate salt, Form A1.5 showed all of the peaks were present for Compound A and the normalized integration showed about 3 moles of L-malic acid for two moles of Compound A. This preparation represented a new form for Compound A L-malate salt.


Compound A, L-Pyroglutamate Salt, Form A1

Preparation


The sale was prepared according to Example 3.


XRPD


The X-ray diffraction data for the L-pyroglutamate salt, Form A1 is given in Table 14 and FIG. 21. The XRPD pattern showed a highly crystalline solid.


Variable temperature XRPD measurements are shown in FIG. 22. The initial XRPD pattern is as expected. There is no change in form on heating to 175° C. At the end of the experiment a black glass was left on the ZBG plate. Comparison of the expected pattern for Compound B and the sample after heating to 210° C. shows small differences. This suggests conversion of Compound A to Compound B and a possible second component.

*The use of ZBG or glass plates typically introduces a positive sample height displacement and results in small (0.05° to 0.2°) offset in 2θ values. The highest peak (intensity 100%) is set in bold letters.






Thermal Analysis


The DSC curve of the L-pyroglutamate salt, Form A1, shows the presence of two endothermic peaks; at 50.4° C. having a ΔHFus of 35.6 J/g and 198.2° C. having a ΔHFu of 76.8 J/g (FIG. 23). The pyroglutamate salt had a weight loss of 3.5% between 25 and 150° C.


Water Sorption


In the DVS Plot (FIG. 24) indicated that during the first cycle there is very little water absorption over the RH range of 40-75% (˜2%). Only surface adsorption is occurring. At 80% RH there is a massive uptake in moisture. The large hysteresis gap at 50-90% RH is due to bulk absorption with a possible hydrate formation. The total uptake is ˜27%.



1H-NMR Spectroscopy


All of the peaks are present for Compound A. After normalization of the integration for one proton for the aromatic peak in Compound A at about 7.5 ppm, there is an additional one proton singlet at about 7.85 ppm for the hydrogen atom on the amide nitrogen in pyroglutamic acid. In addition, there is an additional one proton multiplet at about 4.05 ppm from the one hydrogen atom attached to the carbon atom adjacent to the carboxylic acid group. This establishes this salt as a mono L-pyroglutamate salt of Compound A.


Stability


This salt was stable over a 28 day test period, except for a slow increase in Compound B content (Table 15).

Comparison of Salts

In Table 16, glycolate hydrate Form A1, L-malate Form A1 and the one and two equivalent preparations of L-pyroglutamate Form A1 are compared. The glycolate hydrate salt, Form A1, generated the least amount of Compound B during 40° C. and 75% RH stability testing. The glycolate hydrate exhibited a preference for water absorption since the TGA value increased to 3.5% during stability testing (Table 10).

Compound A, Free Base, Form C0

Preparation


The free base was prepared according to Example 4.


XRPD


The X-ray diffraction data for free base, Form C0, is given in FIG. 26 and Table 17. The XRPD pattern showed a crystalline solid.


Variable temperature XRPD measurements are shown in FIG. 27. The initial XRPD pattern compares to the expected pattern for Form C0. There is no change in form on exposure to a dry N2 atmosphere. There is no change in form after heating to 175° C. After heating to 235° C. the XRPD pattern is changed and is similar to, but not the same as, the pattern observed for Compound B. Similar patterns have been seen for other VT samples. There seem to be two components present in this decomposition product.
