In the context of the present application, a “polymorph” is a particular crystalline arrangement or crystal “form” of a chemical compound in the solid state. A crystal form, or polymorph, of a chemical compound contains constituent molecules arranged in an orderly, repeating, three-dimensional pattern. Some chemical compounds are able to form multiple polymorphs each having a different arrangement of atoms and or molecules in their crystal structure. When the compound is a biologically active compound, such as an active pharmaceutical ingredient, the difference in crystal structures can lead to each polymorph having different chemical, physical, and biological properties. Properties which may be affected include crystal shape, density, hardness, color, chemical stability, melting point, hygroscopicity, suspensibility, dissolution rate and biological availability. As such, a specific polymorph may have properties which make it unexpectedly advantageous in a particular application relative to another polymorph of the same parent compound. In particular, the physical, chemical, and biological properties listed above can have a significant effect on the development of production methods and formulations and the quality and efficacy of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Some chemical compounds and molecular complexes (such as solvates, co-crystals, coordination compounds) can exist in multiple polymorphs, each manifesting different physical characteristics. Furthermore, less stable polymorphs may convert or partly convert into more stable polymorphs under suitable conditions. For these reasons, it is necessary to control the particular crystalline form of an active pharmaceutical ingredient when developing products which will be used for therapeutic benefit in humans or animals. It is noted that predicting whether the solid state of a compound may form one or more polymorphs is not possible and nor is it possible to predict the properties of any of these crystal forms.
In one or more embodiments, the crystalline polymorph described herein is at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99%, at least 99.5%, or at least 99.9% pure, as measured by HPLC as described herein. In some embodiment, the crystalline polymorph described herein comprises an impurity. In some embodiments, the impurity in the crystalline polymorph is at most 0.1%, at most 0.5%, at most 1%, at most 2%, at most 3%, at most 4%, at most 5%, at most 6%, at most 7%, at most 8%, at most 9%, at most 10%, at most 15%, at most 20%, at most 25%, at most 30%, at most 40%, or at most 50%, as measured by HPLC as described herein.
Assaying the solid phase for the presence of crystals may be carried out by conventional methods known in the art. For example, it is convenient and routine to use powder X-ray diffraction techniques. Other techniques which may be used include differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Raman or Infra-red spectroscopy, NMR, gas chromatography or HPLC.
In one or more embodiments, the present disclosure provides prophylactic and/or therapeutic compositions comprising one or more of the compounds described herein dispersed in a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier. The term “carrier” is used herein to refer to diluents, excipients, vehicles, and the like, in which the compound may be dispersed for administration. Suitable carriers will be pharmaceutically acceptable. As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable” means not biologically or otherwise undesirable, in that it can be administered to a subject without excessive toxicity, irritation, or allergic response, and does not cause unacceptable biological effects or interact in a deleterious manner with any of the other components of the composition in which it is contained. A pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier would naturally be selected to minimize any degradation of the compound or other agents and to minimize any adverse side effects in the subject, as would be well known to one of skill in the art. Pharmaceutically-acceptable ingredients include those acceptable for veterinary use as well as human pharmaceutical use, and will depend on the route of administration. For example, compositions suitable for administration via injection are typically solutions in sterile isotonic aqueous buffer. Exemplary carriers include aqueous solutions such as normal (n.) saline (˜0.9% NaC), phosphate buffered saline (PBS), sterile water/distilled autoclaved water (DAW), other acceptable vehicles, and the like. Other ingredients may be included in the composition, such as adjuvants, other active agents, preservatives, buffering agents, salts, other pharmaceutically-acceptable ingredients. The composition can comprise a therapeutically effective amount of the compound dispersed in the carrier.

The term “substantially the same,” as used herein to define a figure is intended to mean that the figure is considered the same as a reference figure by a skilled artisan in view of deviations acceptable in the art. Such deviations may be caused by factors related to instruments, operation conditions and human factors, etc., known in the art. For example, one skilled in the art can appreciate that the endotherm onset and peak temperatures as measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) may vary significantly from experiment to experiment. In some embodiments, when positions of characteristic peaks of two figures do not vary more than +/−5%, +/−4%, +/−3%, +/−2%, or +/−1%, it is deemed that the two figures are substantially the same. For example, one skilled in the art can readily identify whether two X-ray diffraction patterns or two DSC thermograms are substantially the same. In some embodiments, when characteristic peaks of two X-ray diffraction patterns do not vary more than 0.3° 2-Theta, 0.2° 2-Theta or 0.1° 2-Theta, it is deemed that the X-ray diffraction patterns are substantially the same.
The present description also uses numerical ranges to quantify certain parameters relating to various embodiments of the disclosure. It should be understood that when numerical ranges are provided, such ranges are to be construed as providing literal support for claim limitations that only recite the lower value of the range as well as claim limitations that only recite the upper value of the range. For example, a disclosed numerical range of about 10 to about 100 provides literal support for a claim reciting “greater than about 10” (with no upper bounds) and a claim reciting “less than about 100” (with no lower bounds).
The following examples set forth methods in accordance with the disclosure. It is to be understood, however, that these examples are provided by way of illustration and nothing therein should be taken as a limitation upon the overall scope of the disclosure.
Salt screening via reaction crystallization was preliminarily conducted using five acids in four solvents or solvent mixtures. For hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, and methanesulfonic acid, about 20 mg of TPA023B was stirred in about 0.5 mL of solvent and about 1.1 molar equivalents of the corresponding acid solutions were added. For p-toluenesulfonic acid, about 20 mg of TPA023B and about 1.1 molar equivalents of the corresponding acid were stirred in about 0.5 mL of each solvent. For controls, about 20 mg of TPA023B was stirred in about 0.5 mL of the corresponding solvent. The resulting mixture was heated to about 50° C. with continuous stirring for about 4 hrs and slowly cooled to about 20-25° C. overnight.
Because TPA023B possesses a tertiary alcohol that is also alpha to an aromatic ring it may be prone to degradation by elimination under acidic conditions. HPLC analysis was conducted on the acetone samples to determine the extent of degradation that occurred, if any. The results showed that TPA023B with H3PO4 in acetone had lower degradation than the other acids.
For any experiment which produced an observable solid, the solid was isolated by centrifugation (about 14,000 rpm for about 5 minutes) and analyzed by XRPD. For clear solutions, solids were produced via evaporation at 35° C. by drying in vacuo and checked by XRPD. TGA and DSC characterization data was collected for any solid that demonstrated novel crystallinity by XRPD. The results are shown in Table 3 and the XRPD patterns are shown in
The phosphate salt was found to readily form a stable new crystalline form. In addition, a trace of a new crystalline form was observed that may be a hydrochloride salt or a new polymorph of the free base. It was labeled Chloride Polymorphic Pattern A. Given the pKa of TPA023B (about 2.19) and its highly planar aromatic structure of TPA023B, it is unexpected that out of the strong acids tested, only phosphoric acid readily formed highly crystalline solids with properties suitable for manufacture and use in pharmaceutical preparations, especially given that the pKa of TPA023B and Phosphoric Acid are so similar. The relative stability of TPA023B with phosphoric acid, as compared with other stronger acids, provides a significant benefit to the manufacturability of the phosphate salt or co-crystal that could not have been predicted beforehand. It is highly beneficial that the salt or co-crystal formation be the final particle forming step, because any additional purification steps after this stage add significantly to the cost of goods. Therefore, the reduced impurity formation afforded by the phosphate salt or co-crystal reduces the risk of needing additional purification and offers an advantage over other counterions.
Additional attempts to find crystalline salt forms of TPA023B were made. The amorphous TPA023B salts formed in Example 1, and about 0.5 ml of the corresponding solvent shown (Table 4) were heated to about 50° C. with continuous stirring for about 2 days. Only in the case of p-toluene sulfonate in toluene, a crystalline solid was obtained. In all other cases, an amorphous solid was obtained. This salt was labeled Tosylate Polymorphic Form A.
The stability of Phosphate Polymorphic Form and Free Base Polymorphic Form A were evaluated under accelerated conditions.
The hygroscopicity of Phosphate Polymorph Form A was measured by Dynamic vapor sorption (DVS). A reversible mass increase of about 1.08% was observed. After DVS, XRPD confirmed that the crystalline form was retained (see
A 0.5 M solution of phosphoric acid in acetonitrile (44 mL, 22 mmol, 1.1 Eq) was added to 2′,6-difluoro-5′-[3-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-imidazo[1,2-b][1,2,4]triazin-7-yl]biphenyl-2-carbonitrile (8.0 g, 20 mmol, 1.0 Eq) in acetonitrile (200 mL) and stirred at about 50° C. for about 4 hrs. The resulting mixture was cooled slowly to room temperature overnight. The resulting solid was collected and dried to provide Phosphate Polymorphic Form A (9.2 g, 92% yield).

The resulting solid was separated by centrifuge (5 min at 14000 rpm) and dried overnight in a vacuum oven heated to about 30° C. to provide Phosphate Polymorphic Pattern B. TPA023B Phosphate Pattern B likely comprises a mixture of Phosphate Form A and Phosphate Form G.

The mixture was heated to about 60° C., stirred for about 4 hours, and then cooled to 20° C. to 25° C. This heat and cool cycle was repeated twice more. The resulting solid was collected by centrifugation and dried at about 30° C. in a vacuum oven to provide Free Base Form C.

The precipitate was collected by centrifuge and dried overnight in a ˜30° C. vacuum oven to provide Phosphate Polymorphic Pattern E.

The mixture was cooled to 95° C. and 1,4-dioxane (0.8 mL) was added slowly. A 0.5 M solution of 4-methylbenzene sulfonic acid in 1,4-dioxane (0.05 mL, 0.1 equivalents) was added, followed by ˜1 mg of seed material. Additional 0.5M 4-methylbenzene sulfonic acid in 1,4-dioxane solution (0.49 mL, 0.95 Eq) was added over 30 min, and the resulting mixture was stirred at 95° C. for 30 min. The mixture was then allowed to cool to room temperature and the solids were collected by centrifugation (1000 rpm for 5 minutes). The isolated solid was washed with n-heptane and dried in a ˜30° C. vacuum oven for 4 hrs to provide Tosylate Polymorphic Form A. An XRPD pattern of TPA023B tosylate Form A is provided in
2′,6-difluoro-5′-[3-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-imidazo[1,2-b][1,2,4]triazin-7-yl]biphenyl-2-carbonitrile (25 mg, 0.064 mmol) was added to a vial containing acetonitrile (0.5 ml). The mixture was mixed at about 20° C. to 25° C. for about 4 hours, then heated to about 50° C. overnight. The slurry was allowed to cool to ambient temperature. The resulting solids were isolated by centrifugation at about 14000 rpm for 5 minutes and dried in a vacuum oven at −35° C. to provide Free Base Polymorphic Form A. An XRPD pattern of TPA023B Free Base Polymorphic Form A is provided in
2′,6-difluoro-5′-[3-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-imidazo[1,2-b][1,2,4]triazin-7-yl]biphenyl-2-carbonitrile (25 mg, 0.064 mmol) was added to a vial containing ethanol (0.5 ml). The mixture was mixed at about 20° C. to 25° C. for about 4 hours, then heated to −50° C. overnight. If the final mixture was clear solution, the solution would be evaporated by vacuum drying oven at −35° C. and the resulted solid was checked by XRPD. The resulting solid was isolated by centrifugation at about 14,000 rpm for −5 minutes and dried by in a ˜35° C. vacuum oven to provide Free Base Polymorphic Form B. Preliminary analysis suggests this is an Ethanol Solvate polymorph, which expunges Pd, and is a key intermediate.
2′,6-difluoro-5′-[3-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-imidazo[1,2-b][1,2,4]triazin-7-yl]biphenyl-2-carbonitrile (25 mg, 0.064 mmol) was added to a vial containing dichloromethane (0.5 ml) and the vial was sealed. The mixture was stirred at about 20° C. to −25° C. for about 4 hours, then heated to −50° C. overnight. The resulting slurry was allowed to cool to ambient, and the resulting solids were isolated by centrifugation at −14000 rpm for −5 minutes and dried by in a ˜35° C. vacuum oven to provide Free Base Polymorphic Form C.

The mixture was stirred at about 20° C. to 25° C. for −4 hours, then heated to −50° C. overnight. The resulting solution was cooled to about 20° C. to 25° C., and evaporated to dryness in a ˜35° C. vacuum oven to provide Free Base Polymorphic Pattern D. Free Base Pattern D likely comprises a mixture that comprises Free Base Form A and a new form that may be a dioxane solvate.
Determining which polymorphic form is more thermodynamically stable may be experimentally determined by conventional methods known in the art. For example, a competitive slurry experiment in which a 1:1 mixture of polymorphic forms is stirred for a period of time in a solvent in which both polymorphic forms are partly soluble may be conducted. It is accepted by those skilled in the art that if the 1:1 mixture converts entirely to one polymorphic form, that form that results is more thermodynamically stable of the two, while the other form is metastable.
About 2 mg of test article was added to a 1.5 mL vials which contained ˜1.0 mL of one medium listed in Table 7 and Table 8, which was then sealed. The mixtures were stirred at ˜20-25° C. for ˜24 hours. After that, the mixture was filtered by 0.45 μm filter membrane and then the supernatant was analyzed by HPLC. The results were showed in the Table 7 and Table 8. The results indicated that Phosphate Polymorphic Form A had higher solubility in simulated gastric fluid (SGF), Fasted-state simulated intestinal fluid (FaSSIF) and Fed-state simulated intestinal fluid (FeSSIF) than Free Base Polymorphic Form A.
About 100 mg of Free Base Polymorphic Form A or Phosphate Polymorphic Form A was weighed into the intrinsic dissolution apparatus and the sample compressed for 1 minute with a compression force of ˜4 MPa to form a compacted pellet within the stainless-steel die. All loose powder was removed from the surface of the die. The intrinsic dissolution shaft was connected with the stainless-steel die and tightened so only one surface of the pellet was exposed (surface area=0.496 cm2). The shaft in the spindle was adjusted to ensure the exposed surface of the compacted tablet was ˜3.8 cm from the bottom of the vessel when lowered. The temperature of chamber water was set at 37° C.±0.5° C., the shaft rotation at 100 rpm and the sampling time points at 2, 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60, 120 min. SGF was used as dissolution medium (900 mL). At each time point, solution samples were filtered, and the supernatant was analyzed by HPLC-UV.
The intrinsic dissolution rate of Free Base Polymorphic Form A in SGF was 5×10−5 mg cm2 min-t (linear scope within 2 to 120 min). The intrinsic dissolution rate of Phosphate Polymorphic Form A in SGF was 0.184 mg cm−2 min−1 (linear scope within 2 to 120 min).
To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of Phosphate Polymorphic Form A, suspensions or solutions were dosed by either oral gavage (0.5% methyl cellulose) or IV (60% PEG400/40% saline) in normal, healthy, male Sprague-dawley rats with serial blood collection focused on the first 48 hours of exposure. Rats were dosed with vehicle or test compounds at 1 mg/kg (IV) or 2 mg/kg (PO). Approximately 0.2 mL blood was collected at each time point. All blood samples were collected jugular vein puncture. All blood samples were transferred into plastic microcentrifuge tubes containing 5 μL of EDTA-K2 as anti-coagulant or pre-chilled commercial EDTA-K2 tubes and placed on wet ice until centrifugation. Harvested blood samples were centrifuged within 30 min of collection at 7,000 rpm for 10 minutes. The extracts were analyzed for compound concentration by LC/MS/MS. Data were analyzed with Phoenix WinNonlin 6.3 using the IV-Noncompartmental model 201 (IV bolus input) and PO-Noncompartmental model 200 (extravascular input) methods.

The bioavailability of Phosphate Polymorphic Form A is over 3 times higher than the previously reported bioavailability of TPA023B in canines. This is highly adventitious for therapeutics meant to treat dogs, and significantly reduces the quantities of active pharmaceutical ingredient that need to be prepared for the completion of GLP toxicology studies.

Appropriately 2 mg of compounds were accurately weighed into a glass vial, then added diluents (ACN/water, 50/50) and sonicated for 2 minutes to dilute the target concentration of 0.2 mg/mL. The solution was equilibrated to room temperature and then the purity of the compounds was determined by HPLC.
10 mg of TPA023B was used for the pKa measurement.
ISA Water (Ionic Strength Adjusted Water, 0.15 M KCl): Accurately weigh 5.591 g KCl into a 500 mL volumetric flask, dissolve the sample with water, add to volume and mix well. Cosolvent of 60% (v/v) DMSO. Dissolve 2.795 g potassium chloride in 100 mL distilled or deionised water and make up to 250 mL with analytical grade DMSO (Ionic strength adjusted DMSO solution).

pKa Determination by pH Metric Method (with or without Co-Solvent):
About 1 mg of sample was weighed into a sample vial, about 1.5 mL of ISA water or 1.5 mL of co-solvent (80% MeOH or 60% DMSO) was added into the vial automatically. The sample solution pre-acidified to pH 2.0 with 0.5 M HCl by the instrument automatically, then titrated three times with base to get pKa value from pH 2 to pH 12, and then extrapolated to get aqueous pKa value. Using this method, the pKa of TPA023B was determined to be 2.19.
About 25 mg of compound (TPA023B) was added to a 2.0 mL vial containing 0.5 mL of each organic solvent in Table 14, which was then sealed. The mixtures were stirred-mixed at 800 rpm, RT (25° C.) for 4 hours. After that, if the compound was not completely dissolved in the solvent, the mixture was then stirred-mixed at 800 rpm, 50° C. overnight. If the final mixture was clear solution, the solution would be evaporated by vacuum drying oven at 35° C. and the resulted solid would be checked by XRPD. If the final mixture was slurry, the slurry would be centrifuged at 14000 rpm for 5 minutes and then the residues would be dried by vacuum drying oven at 35° C. and checked by XRPD.
The form of TPA023B raw material was named as “Freebase Form A” and its corresponding XRPD pattern as “Pattern A.” The characterization of solubility-test samples of TPA023B is provided in Table 15. The corresponding XRPD profile overlays of TPA023B slurry in solvents are provided in
Approximate 2 mg of TPA023B Phosphate Form A was weighed out into each 1.5 mL vial, and then solvent was added stepwise under stirring until no particles could be visually observed. The total amount of solvent was recorded to calculate the approximate solubility in these solvents. The solubility results are shown in Table 16. TPA023B phosphate showed relatively high solubility in DMF and DMSO.
TPA023B phosphate (about 20 mg) was added in appropriate various solvents, respectively. The suspension was stirred at 500 rpm for 3 days at RT. The residues of the compound (TPA023B phosphate) were separated by centrifuge (5 min at 14000 rpm) and further dried overnight in the vacuum oven at 30° C. The dried solid was analyzed by XRPD. If XRPD was changed, the dried solids were then analyzed by PLM, DSC and TGA. Table 17 illustrates the results of the slurry screening methods using selected solvents. For example, when the form of TPA023B phosphate is named as “Form A,” then its corresponding XRPD pattern is designated as “Pattern A.”
TPA023B phosphate (about 20 mg) was weighed and transferred into a vial containing of 200 μL of each selected solvent. The suspension was stirred at 700 rpm for 4 hours at 60° C., and the suspension was allowed to cool to room temperature. This cycle was repeated twice. Any resulting solids were collected by centrifugation and dried in a 30° C. vacuum oven. The samples were analyzed by XRPD. If XRPD pattern differed, the samples were analyzed by PLM, DSC and TGA. In addition to TPA023B Phosphate Pattern A, Free Base Pattern C and Phosphate pattern D were observed, as shown in Table 18 and

TPA023B phosphate (about 150 mg) was dissolved in 1.5 mL of either DMSO or DMF to prepare stock solutions (100 mg/mL). Anti-solvent was added until either precipitation occurred, or the amount of anti-solvent added reached 5× of the amount of solvent. The precipitate was collected by centrifuge and dried overnight in a 30° C. vacuum oven. The obtained samples were analyzed by XRPD. If the XRPD pattern changed, the dried solids were analyzed by PLM, DSC and TGA. As shown in Table 19 and
TPA023B phosphate (about 100 mg) was used in a scaled-up repeat of the experiments in Example 27 with solvents methanol and isopropanol, respectively. The solids obtained using methanol exhibited an XRPD pattern of Free Base Form C, the same pattern as shown in example 27. The solids obtained using isopropanol (TPA) also exhibited an XRPD pattern of Free Base Form C in the scale-up. The XRPD patterns of the obtained solids are illustrated in
