The present invention provides solid forms of a compound useful as inhibitors of MK2 kinases. The invention also provides pharmaceutically acceptable compositions comprising solid forms of the present invention and methods of using said compositions in the treatment of various disorders.
The search for new therapeutic agents has been greatly aided in recent years by a better understanding of the structure of enzymes and other biomolecules associated with diseases. One important class of enzymes that has been the subject of extensive study is protein kinases.
Protein kinases constitute a large family of structurally related enzymes that are responsible for the control of a variety of signal transduction processes within the cell. Protein kinases are thought to have evolved from a common ancestral gene due to the conservation of their structure and catalytic function. Almost all kinases contain a similar 250-300 amino acid catalytic domain. The kinases may be categorized into families by the substrates they phosphorylate (e.g., protein-tyrosine, protein-serine/threonine, lipids, etc.).
Mitogen-activated protein kinase-activated protein kinase 2 (MAPKAP K2 or MK2) mediates multiple p38 MAPK-dependent cellular responses. MK2 is an important intracellular regulator of the production of cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and interferon gamma (IFNγ), that are involved in many acute and chronic inflammatory diseases, e.g. rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. MK2 resides in the nucleus of non-stimulated cells and upon stimulation, it translocates to the cytoplasm and phosphorylates and activates tuberin and HSP27. MK2 is also implicated in heart failure, brain ischemic injury, the regulation of stress resistance and the production of TNF-α. (see Deak et al., EMBO. 17:4426-4441 (1998); Shi et al., Biol. Chem. 383:1519-1536 (2002); Staklatvala., Curr. Opin. Pharmacol. 4:372-377 (2004), and Shiroto et al., J. Mol. Cardiol. 38:93-97 (2005)).
Many diseases are associated with abnormal cellular responses triggered by protein kinase-mediated events as described above. These diseases include, but are not limited to, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, bone diseases, metabolic diseases, neurological and neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, allergies and asthma, Alzheimer's disease, and hormone-related diseases. Accordingly, there remains a need to find protein kinase inhibitors useful as therapeutic agents.
It has now been found that novel solid forms of the present invention, and compositions thereof, are useful as inhibitors of one or more protein kinases and exhibit desirable characteristics for the same. In general, salt forms, freebase forms, and/or complex forms, and pharmaceutically acceptable compositions thereof, are useful for treating or lessening the severity of a variety of diseases or disorders as described in detail herein.

Uses, Formulation and Administration
Pharmaceutically Acceptable Compositions
According to another embodiment, the invention provides a composition comprising a compound of this invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, adjuvant, or vehicle. In certain embodiments, the amount of compound in compositions of this invention is such that it is effective to measurably inhibit MK2, or a mutant thereof, in a biological sample or in a patient. In certain embodiments, a composition of this invention is formulated for administration to a patient in need of such composition. In some embodiments, a composition of this invention is formulated for oral administration to a patient.
Compounds and compositions, according to method of the present invention, are administered using any amount and any route of administration effective for treating or lessening the severity of a disorder provided herein (i.e., an MK2-mediated disease or disorder). The exact amount required will vary from subject to subject, depending on the species, age, and general condition of the subject, the severity of the infection, the particular agent, its mode of administration, and the like. Compounds of the invention are preferably formulated in unit dosage form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage.
Compositions of the present invention may be administered orally, parenterally, by inhalation spray, topically, rectally, nasally, buccally, vaginally, intraperitoneally, intracisternally or via an implanted reservoir. In some embodiments, the compositions are administered orally, intraperitoneally or intravenously.
Sterile injectable forms of the compositions of this invention may be aqueous or oleaginous suspension. These suspensions may be formulated according to techniques known in the art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium.
For this purpose, any bland fixed oil may be employed including synthetic mono- or di-glycerides. Fatty acids, such as oleic acid and its glyceride derivatives are useful in the preparation of injectables, as are natural pharmaceutically-acceptable oils, such as olive oil or castor oil, especially in their polyoxyethylated versions. These oil solutions or suspensions may also contain a long-chain alcohol diluent or dispersant, such as carboxymethyl cellulose or similar dispersing agents that are commonly used in the formulation of pharmaceutically acceptable dosage forms including emulsions and suspensions. Other commonly used surfactants, such as Tweens, Spans and other emulsifying agents or bioavailability enhancers which are commonly used in the manufacture of pharmaceutically acceptable solid, liquid, or other dosage forms may also be used for the purposes of formulation.
Injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium prior to use.
In order to prolong the effect of a compound of the present invention, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of the compound from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the compound then depends upon its rate of dissolution that, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered compound form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the compound in an oil vehicle. Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of the compound in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending upon the ratio of compound to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of compound release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the compound in liposomes or microemulsions that are compatible with body tissues.

MK2 Kinase
MAP kinase-activated protein kinase 2 (“MK2”) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MAPKAPK2 gene. The MAPKAPK2 gene encodes a member of the Ser/Thr protein kinase family and two transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found. MK2 is regulated through direct phosphorylation by p38 MAP kinase.
MK2 is a multi-domain protein consisting of an N-terminal proline-rich domain, a catalytic domain, an autoinhibitory domain and at the C-terminus a nuclear export signal (NES) and nuclear localization signal (NLS). Two isoforms of human MK2 have been characterized. One isoform consists of 400 amino acids and the other isoform 370 residues which is thought to be a splice variant missing the C-terminal NLS.
MK2 is known to be involved in many cellular processes including stress and inflammatory responses, nuclear export, gene expression regulation and cell proliferation. Indeed, MK2 regulates, by a post-transcriptional mechanism, biosynthesis of tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) that is overproduced in inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. See Natesan et al., J. Med. Chem. 2012, 55, 2035-2047.
Compounds of the present invention have been shown to inhibit phosphorylation of heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27). See Example 138 of the '463 application. Inhibition of Hsp27 phosphorylation occurs by inhibiting the formation of the p38 kinase-MK2-Hsp27 signaling complex. Phosphorylation of Hsp27 is the penultimate event in a complex signaling cascade that occurs in response to extracellular stimuli. See Zheng et al., The Journal of Biological Chemistry, vol. 281, no. 48, 37215-37226, Dec. 1, 2006. Hsp27 usually exists as oligomers and plays a role in regulation of many cellular functions such as inhibition of the death receptor-mediated apoptosis, promotion of proper refolding of denatured proteins by acting as a molecular chaperone, and regulation of cytoskeleton. The presence of MK2 is a necessary condition for the formation of p38 kinase-MK2-Hsp27 signaling complex in cells. See Zheng et al., The Journal of Biological Chemistry, vol. 281, no. 48, 37215-37226, Dec. 1, 2006.
Evidence suggests that many signaling proteins form multimeric complexes. See Zheng et al., The Journal of Biological Chemistry, vol. 281, no. 48, 37215-37226, Dec. 1, 2006. One such complex is the Hsp27/Akt (a serine/threonine kinase) dimer, which forms in the cytoplasm of a cell. Another complex is formed between MK2 and p38. See Ben-Levy et al., Current Biology 1998, 8:1049-1057; Natesan et al., J. Med. Chem. 2012, 55, 2035-2047; Zheng et al., The Journal of Biological Chemistry, vol. 281, no. 48, 37215-37226, Dec. 1, 2006.
In unstimulated conditions, inactive p38 and unphosphorylated MK2 form such dimer in the nucleus of a cell. Upon activation, p38 phosphorylates MK2, thereby inducing a conformational change of the autoinhibitory domain of MK2 and exposing the active site for substrate binding. Once MK2 is phosphorylated, the p38-MK2 dimer is translocated to the cytoplasm, where it forms a quaternary complex with the Hsp27-Akt dimer. See Zheng et al., The Journal of Biological Chemistry, vol. 281, no. 48, 37215-37226, Dec. 1, 2006. Hsp27 is then phosphorylated by MK2, resulting in degradation of the quaternary complex and the release of p-Hsp27 monomers and dimers. Because inhibition of MK2 blocks phosphorylation of Hsp27, without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that inhibition of MK2 prevents degradation of the p38-MK2-Akt-Hsp27 quaternary complex, thereby altering downstream effects. Consequent to the inhibition of quaternary complex degradation, the amount of quaternary complex would thereby increase. Moreover, the equilibrium of p38 and MK2 between the cytoplasm and nucleus would be shifted towards the cytoplasm.
Interestingly, transport of the MK2/p38 complex out of the nucleus does not require catalytically active MK2, as the active site mutant, Asp207Ala, is still transported to the cytoplasm. Phosphorylation of human MK2 by p38 on residues T222, S272 and T334 is thought to activate the enzyme by inducing a conformational change of the autoinhibitory domain thus exposing the active site for substrate binding. Mutations of two autoinhibitory domain residues W332A and K326E in murine MK2 demonstrate an increase in basal activity and a C-terminal deletion of the autoinhibitory domain renders the enzyme constitutively active, providing additional evidence to the role of this domain in inhibition of MK2 activity.

In order that the invention described herein may be more fully understood, the following examples are set forth. It should be understood that these examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not to be construed as limiting this invention in any manner.
As depicted in the Examples below, in certain exemplary embodiments, compounds are prepared according to the following general procedures. It will be appreciated that, although the general methods depict the synthesis of certain compounds of the present invention, the following general methods, and other methods known to one of ordinary skill in the art, can be applied to all compounds and subclasses and species of each of these compounds, as described herein.
A preliminary polymorph screen of Compound 1 was performed to investigate whether different solid forms of Compound 1 could be generated under various conditions, such as different solvents, temperature and humidity changes. Nine unique crystalline forms (Forms A through I) of Compound 1 were identified during the screen, including three anhydrates (Forms A, B, and D) and two hydrates (Forms C and E). Characterization of the crystal forms produced during the screen was performed by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), dynamic vapor sorption (DVS), Karl Fischer (KF), and 1H-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR).
Solubility of Form A was approximated in the following solvents: acetonitrile (ACN), ACN/water (1:1), n-butanol (n-BuOH), absolute ethanol (EtOH), ethanol/water (1:1), methanol (MeOH), 2-propanol (IPA), ethyl acetate (EtOAc), methyl acetate (MeOAc), dichloromethane (DCM), methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), methyl t-butyl ether (MTBE), heptane, toluene, methyl acetate (MeOAc), isopropyl acetate (IPAc), methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF), 1,4-dioxane, tetrahydrofuran (THF), THF/water (1:1), water, dimethyl sufoxide (DMSO), dimethylacetamide (DMA, DMAc), and N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP). A weighed sample of Form A (about 50 mg) was treated with a known volume of a test solvent. The resulting mixture was agitated for 1 day at room temperature. If all of the solids appeared to be dissolved by visual inspection, the estimated solubility was calculated based on the total volume of solvent used to give a complete solution. If solids were present, a known volume of filtrate was evaporated to dryness and the weight of the residue was measured to estimate the solubility.
The results are summarized in Table 1. Form A was found to be most soluble (>50 mg/mL) in DMSO, DMA and NMP. Form A showed moderate solubility (8˜16 mg/mL) in THF/water, THF, and DCM, and (>2 mg/mL) in acetone, 1,4-dioxane, and MEK. Form A showed low or very low solubility (<3 mg/mL) in all other solvents tested.
Equilibration/Slurry and Evaporation. Equilibration and evaporation experiments at room temperature and 50° C. were carried out by adding an excess of Compound 1 solid to up to 1 mL of a test solvent. The resulting mixture was agitated for 1 day at room temperature and 1 day at 50° C. separately. Upon reaching equilibrium, the saturated supernatant solution was removed, filtered using 0.45 m PTFE filters and allowed to evaporate in an open vial under nitrogen at room temperature and 50 FC, respectively. The solid resulting from the equilibration was isolated and air-dried before analysis.
The results are summarized in Table 2. All equilibration experiments afforded Form A. Four unique crystalline solids were obtained from evaporation experiments. Solid from evaporation at 50° C. in EtOH/water was designated as Form B. Solid from evaporation at 50° C. in THE was designated as Form C. Solid from evaporation at 50° C. in DCM was designated as Form D. Solid from evaporation at 50° C. in THF/water sample was designated as Form E. Most other evaporation experiments didn't afford analyzable solid due to relatively low solubility.
Recrystallization. For cooling recrystallization, each of the selected solvents was saturated with Compound 1 solid at 50° C. The solvents included THF/water (1:1), THF, and DCM. The solution was stirred for 60 minutes, filtered using a 0.45 μm PTFE syringe filter, and then cooled to −15° C. and 4° C. by placing the vials into a freezer or refrigerator. The solid resulting from the recrystallization was isolated and air-dried before analysis.
Cooling recrystallization experiments were performed using solvents DCM, THF/water (1:1) and THF. The results are summarized in Table 3. The solid obtained from DCM was confirmed to be Form D. No solid was obtained from THE and THF/water.
For anti-solvent recrystallization, the selected solvent DMSO was saturated with Compound 1 material at the 50° C. Once the solid was completely dissolved, a portion of the solution was filtered into a vial containing a selected anti-solvent (acetone, ACN, IPA, heptane, MeOAc, toluene and water). The mixture was cooled to −15° C. or 4° C. by placing the vials into a freezer or a refrigerator. The solid resulting from the recrystallization was isolated and air-dried before analysis.
Recrystallizations with anti-solvents were performed using DMSO as the primary solvent. Acetone, ACN, IPA, heptane, MeOAc, toluene and water were used as anti-solvents. The results are summarized in Table 4. Three additional unique XRPD patterns were observed. Solid obtained from DMSO/ACN was designated as Form F. Solid obtained from DMSO/IPA was designated as Form G and solid obtained from DMSO/water was designated as Form H. Precipitation was not observed from experiments using heptane, MeOAc, acetone or toluene as anti-solvents.
Additional experiments were performed to generate materials for further characterization, as detailed in Table 5. Forms C, D, and E were reproduced from these experiments.
Form conversion experiments were performed to determine interconversion among solid forms. The results are summarized in Table 6.
The inter-conversion relationship between the forms was explored through form conversion experiments as summarized in Table 6. Slurry experiments of single and mixed forms in selected organic solvents or solvent/water mixtures were explored, and all solids converted to Form A as the final form. These results suggested that Form A is the most stable anhydrate form. This conclusion was further confirmed by additional results from heat and humidity stress experiments also summarized in Table 6. The schematic inter-conversion among crystalline forms of Compound 1 is depicted in
Characterization of Crystalline Forms of Compound 1.
X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD). All of the solid samples generated in the polymorph screen were analyzed by XRPD. XRPD analysis was conducted on a PANalytical Empyrean X-ray powder diffractometer using Cu Kα radiation at 1.54 Å.
The PANalytical Empyrean instrument was equipped with a fine focus X-ray tube. The voltage and amperage of the X-ray generator were set at 45 kV and 40 mA, respectively. The divergence slits were set at 1/160 and ⅛°, and the receiving slit was set at 1/16°. Diffracted radiation was measured using a Pixel 2D detector. A theta-two theta continuous scan was set at step size 0.013 or 0.026 from 3° to 40° 2θ with sample spinning rate at 4. A sintered alumina standard was used to check the peak positions.
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). DSC analyses were performed on a TA Discovery Differential Scanning Calorimeter. Indium was used as the calibration standard. Approximately 1-5 mg of sample was placed into a DSC pan. The sample was heated under nitrogen at a rate of 10° C./min, up to a final temperature of 300° C. Melting points were reported as the extrapolated onset temperatures.
Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). TGA analyses were performed on a TA Discovery Thermogravimetric Analyzer. Approximately 2-10 mg of accurately weighed sample was placed on a pan and loaded into the TGA furnace. The sample was heated under nitrogen at a rate of 10° C./min, up to a final temperature of 300° C.
Dynamic Vapor Sorption (DVS). Hygroscopicity was determined on a Surface Measurement Systems DVS. A sample size of 5-20 mg was loaded into the DVS instrument sample pan and the sample was analyzed on a DVS automated sorption analyzer at room temperature. The relative humidity was increased from 0% to 90% RH at 10% RH step, then decreased in a similar manner to accomplish a full adsorption/desorption cycle.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). 1H NMR spectra were obtained on a Bruker 300 MHz NMR spectrometer. Samples were dissolved in DMSO-d6 and analyzed with 64 scans.
Karl Fischer (KF). Water content was measured using a Metrohm KF coulometric oven titrator equipped with an oven sample processor. The oven temperature was set as 190° C.

X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD): The Rigaku Smart-Lab X-ray diffraction system was configured for reflection Bragg-Brentano geometry using a line source X-ray beam. The x-ray source is a Cu Long Fine Focus tube that was operated at 40 kV and 44 ma. That source provides an incident beam profile at the sample that changes from a narrow line at high angles to a broad rectangle at low angles. Beam conditioning slits are used on the line X-ray source to ensure that the maximum beam size is less than 10 mm both along the line and normal to the line. The Bragg-Brentano geometry is a para-focusing geometry controlled by passive divergence and receiving slits with the sample itself acting as the focusing component for the optics. The inherent resolution of Bragg-Brentano geometry is governed in part by the diffractometer radius and the width of the receiving slit used. Typically, the Rigaku Smart-Lab is operated to give peak widths of 0.1° 2θ or less. The axial divergence of the X-ray beam is controlled by 5.0-degree Soller slits in both the incident and diffracted beam paths.
Powder samples were prepared in a low background Si holder using light manual pressure to keep the sample surfaces flat and level with the reference surface of the sample holder. Each sample was analyzed from 2 to 40° 2θ using a continuous scan of 6° 2θ per minute with an effective step size of 0.02° 2θ.
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC): DSC analyses were carried out using a TA Instruments Q2000 instrument. The instrument temperature calibration was performed using indium. The DSC cell was kept under a nitrogen purge of ˜50 mL per minute during each analysis. The sample was placed in a standard, crimped, aluminum pan and was heated from 25° C. to 350° C. at a rate of 10° C. per minute.
Thermogravimetric (TG) Analysis: The TG analysis was carried out using a TA Instruments Q50 instrument. The instrument balance was calibrated using class M weights and the temperature calibration was performed using alumel. The nitrogen purge was ˜40 mL per minute at the balance and ˜60 mL per minute at the furnace. Each sample was placed into a pre-tared platinum pan and heated from 20° C. to 350° C. at a rate of 10° C. per minute.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy: The 1H NMR spectra were acquired on a Bruker DRX-500 spectrometer located at the Chemistry Department of Purdue University. Samples were prepared by dissolving material in DMSO-d6. The solutions were filtered and placed into individual 5-mm NMR tubes for subsequent spectral acquisition. The temperature controlled (298 K) 1H NMR spectra acquired on the DRX-500 utilized a 5-mm cryoprobe operating at an observing frequency of 499.89 MHz.
Typical Cooling Experiment: A vial was charged with 16.6 mg of Compound 1 (Form A). Acetone was added until the solid dissolved; about 6 mL was used. Another vial was charged with 4.2 mg of phosphoric acid. Acetone (about ½ mL) was added and mixed. The acid solution was transferred to the API solution and mixed. The resulting solution was placed in a freezer (about −15° C.) for two days, during which time crystallization occurred. The solvent was decanted and the solid dried in the air.
Typical Evaporation Experiment: A solution of 15.0 mg of Compound 1 (Form A) and 5.5 mg of L-ascorbic acid in about 4 mL of tetrahydrofuran was placed in an open vial in a fume hood overnight. THE was allowed to evaporate, resulting in a solid.
Typical Milling Experiment: A mixture of 17.9 mg of Compound 1 (Form A) and 7.2 mg of p-toluenesulfonic acid was placed in a PEEK grinding cup with 10 μL of methanol and one steel ball. The sample was placed on a Retsch mill and milled at 1000 power for 20 minutes. The resulting solid was allowed to dry in the air.
Typical Slurry Experiment: A vial was charged with 17.8 mg of Compound 1 (Form A), 5.6 mg of L-lysine, and approximately 500 μL of a 1:1 stoichiometric solution of both API and co-former in methanol. A magnetic stir bar was placed in the vial and it was placed on a stir plate at room temperature for about 7 days. The solids were isolated by centrifugation.

A mixture of Form I of Compound 1 (29.0 g, 54.6 mmol) and acetone (290 mL) was agitated in the presence of Form A of Compound 1 (250 mg, 0.5 mmol) and the resulting mixture was heated to 50-55° C. and agitated at this temperature for 48 h. The mixture was sampled by XRPD to assess conversion to the anhydrate form. Then the batch was cooled to 20-25° C. over 2 h and held at that temperature for 16 h. The batch was filtered and the cake was rinsed with acetone (2×60 mL). The cake was dried under vacuum at 45-55° C. to afford 24.0 g of the Form A of Compound 1 as a yellow solid, in 94% yield.
