The present invention relates to crystals of dihydrochloride of N-(4-((3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)amino)-7-((7-methyl-7-azaspiro[3.5]nonan-2-yl)methoxy)quinazoli n-6-yl)acrylamide, preparation methods and uses thereof.
Protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) are a class of enzymes that can catalytically transfer a phosphate group from ATP to the tyrosine residue of a protein substrate, and play a role in normal cell growth. Many growth factor receptor proteins work via tyrosine kinases, and affect signal transduction pathways through this process, thereby modulating cell growth. However, under some conditions, these receptors become abnormal due to either mutation or over-expression, cause uncontrolled cell proliferation, lead to tumor growth, and finally result in a well-known disease—cancer. Growth factor receptor protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors play a role in treatment of cancer and other diseases characterized by uncontrolled or abnormal cell growth, by inhibiting said phosphorylation process.
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a multifunctional glycoprotein that is widely distributed on the cell membranes of various tissues in human body, and is an avian erythroblastic leukemia viral (v-erb-b) oncogene homolog. Human EGFR/HER1/ErbB-1 and HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor-2)/ErbB-2/Teu/p185, HER3/ErbB-3, HER4/ErbB-4 and the like are grouped into the HER/ErbB family, and belong to protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs). Clinical studies show that EGFR and the like are over-expressed in many tumors, for example, epithelial-derived tumors such as squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck, breast cancer, rectal cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer. By competing with ATP for binding kinase catalytic sites in the intracellular region, Pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitors block the autophosphorylation of tyrosine in the molecule, block the activation of tyrosine kinase, and inhibit the activation of HER family, thereby inhibiting cell cycle progression, accelerating cell apoptosis, and exerting a therapeutic action.
After binding to ligand, EGFR forms a dimer with a subgroup of HER family, and then binds to ATP to activate the tyrosine kinase activity of EGFR itself, resulting in the autophosphorylation at several tyrosine sites of the intracellular kinase region. Pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitors have good effect of inhibiting tumor growth, by acting on EGFR and HER2/4 simultaneously and inhibiting the activation of HER family.
The quinazoline derivative of the following Formula (I), N-(4-((3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)amino)-7-((7-methyl-7-azaspiro[3.5]nonan-2-yl)methoxy)quinazoli n-6-yl)acrylamide (which was disclosed in the patent application WO2012027960A1), is an irreversible Pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor, can effectively inhibit EGFR, and also has an inhibitory effect on HER2/4. The drug having an irreversible inhibitory effect on HER/ErbB family can not only enhance the activity of drug, but also can reduce the generation of drug resistance, and has a significantly inhibitory effect on erlotinib-resistant H1975 cell line.

In the description and claims of the present application, a compound is denominated based on its chemical structural formula. If the name of a compound used herein is not consistent with the chemical structural formula, the chemical structural formula or chemical formula will prevail.
In the present application, unless otherwise specified, the scientific and technical terms used herein have the meanings as generally understood by a person skilled in the art. However, in order to understand the invention better, definitions and explanations are provided for a part of relevant terms. In addition, if the definitions and explanations of the terms provided in the present application are different from the meanings generally understood by a person skilled in the art, the definitions and explanations of the terms provided in the present application shall prevail.
The term “organic solvent” as used in the invention may refer to any commercially available organic solvent, or a mixed solvent. The mixed solvent refers to a mixed solvent consisting of two or more organic solvents at a certain ratio by volume, or a mixed solvent consisting of an organic solvent and water at a certain ratio by volume, preferably, a mixed solvent of water and a lower alcohol organic solvent, a lower cyclic ether organic solvent, a lower ketone organic solvent or a lower nitrile organic solvent at any ratio by volume, including, but not limited to the following mixed solvent systems and ratios: methanol/water (10:1, 5:1 or 3:1), ethanol/water (10:1, 5:1 or 3:1), acetonitrile/water (10:1, 5:1 or 3:1), tetrahydrofuran/water (10:1, 5:1 or 3:1), acetone/water (10:1, 8:1, 5:1, 4:1 or 3:1), 1,4-dioxane/water (10:1, 5:1 or 3:1), etc.
In the expression “a lower alcohol organic solvent, a lower cyclic ether organic solvent, a lower ketone organic solvent or a lower nitrile organic solvent” as used in the invention, the term “lower” means that an organic solvent has 1-6 carbon atoms in the molecule, preferably, an organic solvent has 1-4 carbon atoms.
The term “2θ angle” as used in the invention means that X-ray diffraction analysis is based on Bragg's law (Bragg's law is 2dsinθ=nλ), wherein “θ” is the glancing angle or Bragg angle, i.e., the complementary angle for the angle of incidence, and “2θ” is the diffraction angle; “d” is the interplanar spacing between adjacent lattice planes in the crystal lattice, expressed as Å; “λ” is the wavelength of X-ray; and “n” is any positive integer, i.e., the “order” of diffraction. In the XRPD pattern, the abscissa of powder diffraction peaks is the 2θ angle, and the 2θ position of peak has a deviation of ±0.3°, preferably of ±0.2°. When the crystal form of the invention is determined by X-ray diffraction, sometimes there is a deviation in the measured peaks due to the measurement instrument or conditions. Therefore, when determining a crystal structure, the deviation shall be taken into account. Thus, when determining the degree of 2θ, a deviation of ±0.2 is employed by the applicant.
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a thermoanalytical technique. Within a programmed temperature range, the difference in power input (such as the amount of heat) required for a sample and reference is measured as a function of temperature. The curve recorded by differential scanning calorimeter is also called DSC curve, which uses heat absorption or heat release rate (heat flow dH/dt (unit: mJ/s)) as the ordinate, and uses temperature T or time t as the abscissa, and can be used to determine a lot of thermodynamic and kinetic parameters, for example, specific heat capacity, reaction heat, transition heat, phase diagram, reaction rate, crystallization rate, polymer crystallinity, sample purity, and so on. The method can be applied within a wide temperature range (−175˜725° C.), and has a high resolution, and a small amount of sample is required.
Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) is a thermoanalytical technique that measures the mass of a test sample as the temperature changes within a programmed temperature range. It is used to study the thermal stability and composition of a substance. TGA measures the mass of a sample as the temperature (or time) changes within a programmed temperature range. When a test substance sublimes, vaporizes, decomposes or loses water of crystallization during heating, the mass of the test substance will change. In this case, the thermogravimetric curve is not a straight line, and drops to some extent. By analyzing the thermogravimetric curve, the temperature, at which the test substance changes, can be determined; and based on the lost weight, the lost substance such as water of crystallization can be determined by calculation. By conducting TGA experiments, it is helpful to study the change in nature of crystals, for example, physical phenomena of substances such as melting, evaporation, sublimation and adsorption; and is also helpful to study the chemical phenomena of substances, such as dissociation, oxidation, reduction, thermal stability, decomposition process, quantitative analysis of ingredients, effects of additives and fillers, moisture and volatiles, and reaction kinetics. Thermogravimetric analysis can be generally classified into two types: dynamic TGA (temperature increasing) and static TGA (isothermal). The curve obtained by thermogravimetric test is called the thermogravimetric curve (TG curve). TG curve uses mass as the ordinate (the mass reduces from top to bottom), and temperature (or time) as the abscissa (the temperature (or time) increases from left to right).
X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD) means that when a beam of X-rays reaches an object, it is scattered by the atoms in the object, each atom produces scattered waves, and these waves interfere with each other, resulting in diffraction. As a result of the superposition of scattered waves, the X-rays have the intensity enhanced in some directions, and weakened in other directions. The crystal structure can be obtained by analysis of diffraction results. X-ray diffractometer can accurately determine the crystal structure, texture and stress of a substance, and accurately achieve phase analysis, qualitative analysis, and quantitative analysis by utilizing diffraction theory. For crystal material, when the crystal to be measured is at different angles relative to the incident beam, those crystal faces satisfying the Bragg diffraction can be detected, which are presented by the diffraction peaks with different diffraction intensity in the XRD pattern. Non-crystal materials only have short-range ordered arrangement of several atoms in their structures, instead of long-range ordered arrangement of atoms in crystal structure. Therefore, non-crystal materials only have some diffuse scattering peaks in XRD pattern.
The invention further provides use of a crystal form of a compound of Formula (I) in manufacture of a medicament for treating a disease selected from hyperproliferative disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The hyperproliferative disease according to the invention is selected from the group consisting of cancer and noncancerous disease; the cancer is selected from the group consisting of brain tumor, lung cancer, squamous epithelial cell cancer, bladder cancer, gastric cancer , ovarian cancer, peritoneal cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, head and neck cancer, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, colorectal cancer, liver cancer, renal cancer, esophageal adenocarcinoma, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, central nervous system tumor, prostate cancer and thyroid cancer; the noncancerous disease is benign hyperplasia of skin or prostate.
The invention further provides a pharmaceutical formulation comprising the crystal form of a compound of Formula (I) and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and/or diluents, which may be any pharmaceutically acceptable dosage form, such as an oral formulation and an injection. When being prepared into an oral formulation, a suitable filler, a suitable binding agent, a suitable disintegrating agent or a suitable lubricant, etc. may be added.

Formula (I)
To Crystal Form I of dihydrochloride of a compound of Formula (I) (295 g, 0.51 mmol), a mixed solvent of acetone (3587 mL) and water (1043 mL) was added. After stirring at 60° C. under reflux for about 2 h, there was still a small amount of crystal undissolved. The temperature was reduced continuously, and when the temperature was reduced to 40° C., the seed crystal of Crystal form II (1.5 g) was added. After filtration, the filter cake was washed with a mixed solvent (acetone:water=4:1, 300 mL), and then washed with acetone (300 mL) twice, to obtain a solid, which was identified as Crystal form II by XRPD test.

Crystal Form I of dihydrochloride of a compound of Formula (I) (100 mg, 0.17 mmol) was put in a round-bottom flask, and a mixed solvent of methanol (1 mL) and water (0.1 mL) was added. After stirring at room temperature for 24 h, centrifugation was performed and the supernatant was discarded. After drying at 30° C. in vacuum for 1.5 h, the XRPD pattern was determined, which showed that the product was Crystal form II.
After replacing methanol with isopropanol, n-butanol, tetrahydrofuran, or dioxane, Crystal form II was also obtained under the same experimental conditions and operations.
