The present invention belongs to the technical field of medicine. In particular, the present invention relates to a EZH2 inhibitor and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and polymorphs thereof and their applications, and the inhibitor is N-((4,6-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridin-3-yl)methyl)-5-ethyl-4-(ethyl((1S,4S)-4-(3-methoxyazetidin-1-yl)cyclohexyl)amino)-1-methyl-1H-indazole-6-carboxamide.
The histone-lysine-N-methyltransferase EZH2 is involved in DNA methylation and final transcription inhibition; the methylation of lysine at position 27 is catalyzed by the cofactor S-adenosyl-L-methionine to histidine H3. This methylation promotes the formation of heterochromatin, which triggers gene silencing. EZH2 is part of the PRC2 functional enzyme, and a gene that maintains, controls and regulates development and differentiation through epigenetics, thus ensuring the healthy development of the embryo. The mutation or overexpression of EZH2 is associated with the formation of many cancers. The EZH2 controlling gene controls the development of the tumor, the inhibition of EZH2 activity will slow the growth of the tumor. As a target inhibitor, EZH2 can regulate a variety of cancers including breast cancer, prostate cancer, melanoma and bladder cancer. The PCT applications WO2011140324A1 and WO2012075080A1 disclose indole derivatives as EZH2 inhibitors for treating cancer. The PCT application WO2012118812A2 discloses bicyclic heterocyclic compounds as EZH2 inhibitors for the treatment of cancer.
Therefore, the inhibition of EZH2 activity will effectively reduce cell proliferation and invasion, thereby providing a beneficial treatment for EZH2-mediated diseases or conditions. The compounds of the invention provide solutions for treatment of diseases or EZH2-mediated tumor as EZH2 inhibitors. The present invention develops various salt forms an Form D crystals of the EZH2 inhibitor on the basis of the foregoing work, which is helpful for further drug development.

It should be understood that each of the above technical features of the invention and each technical feature specifically described below (such as in Examples) can be combined with each other within the scope of the present invention so as to constitute new or preferred technical solutions which need not be specified again herein.
The inventors have conducted extensive and intensive studies and have unexpectedly found that such 4,5,6-trisubstituted indazole derivatives, particularly the 4,5,6-trisubstituted indazole derivatives, the 7-position of indazole of which is unsubstituted, have high inhibitory activities against enzymes such as EZH2 Y641F and SU-DHL-6 and SU-DHL-10 cells. The study also found that a series of polymorphs of free base, salts and the polymorphs of the salts of the compound of formula X not only had good physical and chemical stability, but also had good pharmacological activity in vivo and in vitro, and therefore could be further developed into drugs.
As used herein, “the crystal of the present invention”, “the crystal form of the present invention”, “the polymorph of the present invention”, etc. can be used interchangeably.
Compound of Formula X
In the present invention, the compound of formula X is N-((4,6-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridin-3-yl)methyl)-5-ethyl-4-(ethyl((1S,4S)-4-(3-methoxyazetidin-1-yl)cyclohex yl)amino)-1-methyl-1H-indazole-6-carboxamide, which has a high inhibitory activities against enzymes such as EZH2 Y641F and cells such as SU-DHL-6 and SU-DHL-10.
The invention also includes a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound of formula X, or a polymorph of the free base of compound of formula X or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt.
In the present invention, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt is selected from the group consisting of hydrochloride, sulfate, phosphate, maleate, fumarate, L-tartrate, citrate, methanesulfonate and hydrobromide.
Polymorphs
Solid exists in amorphous form or in crystalline form. In the case of crystal form, the molecules are localized in the three-dimensional lattice sites. When a compound is crystallized from a solution or slurry, it can be crystallized in different space lattice arrangement (this property is called “polymorphism”) to form crystals with different crystalline forms, each of which is called as “polymorphs.” Different polymorphs of a given substance may differ from each other in one or more physical properties (such as solubility and dissolution rate, true specific gravity, crystalline form, packing pattern, flowability and/or solid state stability).
Crystallization
Crystallization on the production scale can be accomplished by manipulating a solution such that the solubility limit of the interested compound is exceeded. This can be done in a number of ways, for example, by dissolving the compound at a relatively high temperature and then cooling the solution below a saturation limit, or by boiling, evaporating at ordinary pressure, drying under vacuum or by some other means to reduce the liquid volume. The solubility of the interested compound may be reduced by adding an anti-solvent or a solvent in which the compound has a low solubility or a mixture of such solvents. An alternative method is to adjust the pH to reduce the solubility. See Crystallization, Third Edition, J W Mullens, Butterworth-Heineman Ltd., 1993, ISBN 0750611294 for a detailed description of crystallization.
The “suspension stirring” described in the present invention means a way to get crystals by mixing the compound of formula X with the corresponding acid or a solution of the corresponding acid to form a turbid solution, or by mixing the compound of formula X with a suitable solvent to form a turbid solution before stirring. Suitable solvents may be water or organic solvents.
The “slow volatilization” described in the present invention means a way to get crystals by placing a solution of the compound of formula X or a solution of the compound of formula X and the corresponding acid at a certain temperature for slow volatilization of the solvent.
The “addition of anti-solvent” described in the present invention means a way to get crystals by adding a suitable solvent to a solution of the compound of formula X and precipitating the crystals.
If salt formation and crystallization are expected to occur at the same time, the addition of an appropriate acid or base can result in the direct crystallization of the desired salt if the salt is less soluble in the reaction medium than the raw material. Likewise, in a medium in which the solubility of the desired final form is lower than that of reactant, the final product can be directly crystallized when the synthetic reaction is completed.
Optimization of crystallization can include inoculation of the crystal of desired form as a seed into the crystallization medium. In addition, many crystallization methods include a combination of the above strategies. One example is to dissolve the interested compound in a solvent at a high temperature, followed by the addition of an antisolvent with a suitable volume in a controlled manner so that the system is just below saturation level. At this moment, the seed of desired form (the integrity of the seed is kept) can be added and the system is cooled to complete the crystallization.
As used herein, the term “room temperature” generally means 4-30° C., preferably 20±5° C.
Polymorphs of the Present Invention
As used herein, the term “the polymorph of the present invention” includes the polymorph of the compound of formula X or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts (eg hydrochloride, maleate), or the polymorph of various solvates of the compound of formula X, and also includes different polymorphs of the same salt or solvate.
“the polymorph of the compound of formula X” and “the polymorph of the free base of the compound of formula X” can be used interchangeably.
Preferred polymorphs of the invention include (but are not limited to):
In the present invention, some crystal forms can be converted into each other, so the present invention also provides a method of converting some crystal forms into each other.
Identification and Properties of Polymorphs
The properties of the polymorph of the invention were studied using the following various ways and instruments after its preparation.
X-Ray Powder Diffraction
Methods of determining X-ray powder diffraction of the crystals are known in the art. For example, an X-ray powder diffractometer was used to obtain a pattern with a copper radiation target at a scanning speed of 2° per minute.
The polymorph of the compound of formula X of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof has a specifiform C crystal and has specific characteristic peaks in an X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) pattern.
Differential Scanning Calorimetry
It is also called “differential scanning calorimetry analysis” (DSC) which is a technique that measures the relationship between energy difference of the measured substance and the reference substance and temperature during heating. The location, shape and number of peaks on the DSC pattern are related to the nature of the substance, and therefore can be used to qualitatively identify the substance. This method can be commonly used in the art to detect the phase transition temperature, glass transition temperature, reaction heat and other parameters of a substance.
Pharmaceutical Compositions of Compound of Formula X and their Use
Generally, the polymorph of the compound of formula X of the present invention or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt may form a suitable dosage form for administration with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. These dosage forms are suitable for oral, rectal, topical, intraoral administration, and other parenteral administration (e.g., subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous administration, etc.). For example, dosage forms suitable for oral administration include capsules, tablets, granules and syrups. Compounds of the present invention contained in these formulations may be solid powders or granules; aqueous or non-aqueous liquid solutions or suspensions; water-in-oil or oil-in-water emulsions. Such dosage forms may be prepared with active compounds and one or more carriers or excipients through the conventional pharmacy methods. The above-mentioned carriers should be compatible with active compounds or other excipients. For solid formulations, conventional non-toxic carriers include, but not limited to mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, cellulose, glucose, sucrose and the like. Carriers used for liquid preparations include water, saline, aqueous dextrose, ethylene glycol and polyethylene glycol. The active compounds may form a solution or suspension with the above-mentioned carriers.
The compositions of the present invention are formulated, quantified and administrated in a manner consistent with the practice of medicine. The “effective amount” of the administrated compound depends on the factors such as the specific disease to be treated, the individual being treated, the cause of diseases, the drug targets and the mode of administration, etc.

General Method
X-ray powder diffraction: In the present invention, the powder X-ray diffraction patterns of the above crystal forms are obtained by a method known in the art, using a PANalytacal Empyrean X-ray powder diffraction analyzer. The instrument test conditions are shown in the following table:
In the powder X-ray diffraction pattern, the site of each peak was determined by 2θ(°). It should be understood that different instruments and/or conditions could result in slightly different data and changes in peak site and relative intensity. The division of the intensity of peaks only reflects the approximate size of peaks in each site. In the present invention, the highest diffraction peak of each crystalline form was taken as the base peak which was defined as I0 with the relative intensity as 100%, (the peak of crystal form I with 2θ(°) value of 7.09 is the base peak, the peak of crystal form II with 2θ(°) value of 7.112 is the base peak, the peak of crystal form III with 2θ(°) value of 6.969 is the base peak, the peak of crystal form IV with 2θ(°) value of 8.978 is the base peak, the peak of crystal form V with 2θ(°) value of 7 is the base peak, the peak of crystal form A with 2θ(°) value of 9.311 is the base peak, the peak of crystal form B with 2θ(°) value of 13.958 is the base peak, the peak of crystal form C with 2θ(°) value of 14.436 is the base peak, the peak of crystal form D with 2θ(°) value of 14.653 is the base peak, the peak of crystal form E with 2θ(°) value of 13.899 is the base peak, the peak of crystal form F with 2θ(°) value of 15.309 is the base peak, the peak of crystal form G with 2θ(°) value of 15.22 is the base peak), and other peaks had the ratio of their peak height to the peak height of base peak as the relative intensity I, I0. The definition of the relative intensity of each peak was shown in the following table:
The acid-base molar ratio of the salts of the present invention or their crystalline forms was determined by HPLC/IC or 1H NMR.
High performance liquid chromatography: In the present invention, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is collected on an Agilent 1100/1260 HPLC.
TGA and DSC pattern: TGA and DSC pattern were collected on TA Q500/5000 thermogravimetric analyzer and TA Q200/2000 differential scanning calorimeter respectively. The instrument test conditions are shown in the following table:
The Dynamic Vapor Sorption (DVS) curve: acquired on the DVS Intrinsic of Surface Measurement Systems. The relative humidity at 25° C. is corrected with the deliquescence points of LiCl, Mg(NO3)2 and KCl. The instrument test conditions are shown in the following table:
Moisture content: tested with Metrohm 870 Karl Fischer Moisture Analyzer, titration test solution used is Hydranal®R-Composite5 (34805-1L-R, Batch #SZBD3330V) commercially available from Sigma-aldrich, and analytically pure MeOH is used as solvent. Calibrate with high-purity water before measuring moisture.
It should be understood that different values may be obtained when other types of instruments with the same function as the instruments described above or test conditions which are different from the conditions used in the present invention were used. Therefore, the recited value should not be considered as an absolute numerical value.
