Example 3: Method for Preparing a Phosphate Crystal Form B of the Compound of Formula (I)

15 mg of the amorphous phosphate of the compound of formula (I) prepared in Example 1 was dissolved in 1 mL of ethanol, and the solvent was slowly volatilized at the room temperature (25±2° C.) to obtain solid.

After detection, the obtained solid was the crystal form B of phosphate, its XRPD data was shown in Table 10 below, its XRPD pattern was shown in FIG. 7, its TGA chart and DSC chart were shown in FIG. 8, and the 1H NMR characterization result was shown in FIG. 9. The XRPD indicated that the crystal form had a high crystallinity. The TGA result indicated that the sample had a weight loss of 6.1% when heated to 150° C. The DSC result indicated that the sample had two endothermic peaks of 103.2° C. and 133.5° C. (peak temperature) before decomposition. The 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) spectrum indicated that there was no signal peak of isopropyl alcohol, and it could be determined in combination with the weight loss of the sample of the crystal form B heated in the TGA that the crystal form B was hydrate. The stoichiometric ratio of the reproducible phosphate crystal B preparation was determined by a HPLC/IC method. The results showed that the ratio of free base to phosphoric acid was 1:1.

Research on Physical Properties:

The crystal form B of phosphate prepared in this example was put into a 1.5 mL small bottle and the small bottles was placed under different conditions: 40° C./75% RH or 25° C./60% RH for one week in an open state, or 80° C. for 24 h. The obtained samples were subjected to XRPD test and HPLC test, and the sealed samples placed at 5° C. were used as reference samples (Initial) for HPLC purity test. The samples placed at 80° C. for 24 h changed from white solid into yellow solid in appearance. The results in FIG. 10 and the following Table 11 showed that the XRPD of the samples remained unchanged in the one-week stability test, that is, no crystal form was changed; and, the purity did not change significantly, that is, the phosphate crystal form B had good physical and chemical stability under the test conditions. The DVS results in FIG. 11 indicated that the moisture absorption/desorption of the samples changed smoothly in a range from 25° C./40% RH to 25° C./80% RH. The weight gain at 25° C./80% RH is 6.5% compared to 0% RH. The XRPD results in FIG. 12 showed that XRPD pattern for the phosphate crystal form B had kept the same before and after the DVS test and the crystal form remained unchanged.

Research on the Relationship Between the Plasma Concentration of the Crystal Form B of the Phosphate and the Activity of Serum DPPIV:

Test samples and positive drug: the crystal form B of phosphate (named DPPIV-P1) prepared in Example 3. A solution with a certain concentration was prepared from the crystal form B of the phosphate, and the administration volume was 10 mL/kg. Sitagliptin phosphate was used as a positive control drug to prepare a solution, and the administration volume was 10 mL/kg.

Experimental animals: CD-1 (ICR) mice aged for 4 weeks and weighed for about 18-22 g.

Grouping and administration scheme: the mice were fed adaptively, randomly grouped according to the weight on the day before experiment, and fasted overnight. The experiment was carried out in 6 groups: (1) a negative control group; (2) sitagliptin phosphate 3 mg/kg group; (3) DPPIV-P1 0.1 mg/kg group; (4) DPPIV-P1 0.3 mg/kg group; (5) DPPIV-P1 1 mg/kg group; (6) DPPIV P1 3 mg/kg group; and another group was provided separately for detecting the initial basic value of DPPIV. After the experimental grouping, the group provided separately for detecting the initial basic value of DPPIV was carried out blood sampling, and other animals were intragastrically administrated with the drug at an administration volume of 10 mL/kg, the blood was sampled after the administration, and all other animals were stimulated with glucose administration; the blood was sampled at 20 min, 40 min, 60 min and 120 min after the glucose administration, respectively, and the plasma concentration and the DPPIV activity were detected by using plasma. The DPPIV-P1 had an influence on the weight of the animals, and the weight data of each group was shown in Table 12.

The influence of DPPIV-P on the activity of serum DPPIV of the ICR mice was as follows: FIG. 28 showed the result of DPPIV activity detection, and it could be seen from FIG. 28 that the DPPIV-P1 had a good dose-effect relationship with the activity of serum DPPIV of the ICR mice.

Research on pharmacodynamics-plasma concentration correlation: blood samples were collected at time points of 1 h, 1.33 h, 1.67 h, 2 h and 3 h after administration, and the plasma concentration was measured. The results were shown in Table 13 below. The drug exposure value (AUC_eff0-3h) of the DPPIV-P1 increased with the increase of dose, which was 16.09 ng·h/mL, 52.65 ng·h/mL, 162.3 ng·h/mL and 542.28 ng·h/mL, respectively. Meanwhile, in the case of the same dose, the drug exposure value (AUC_eff0-3h) of the DPPIV-P1 3 mg/kg group was higher than the drug exposure value (AUC_eff0-3h) of the sitagliptin phosphate 3 mg/kg group, wherein the drug exposure values of the two groups were 542.28 ng·h/mL and 369.74 ng·h/mL, respectively.

*the unit of the plasma concentration was ng/mL, and **the drug exposure value was AUC_{eff0-3 h}in unit of ng · h/mL.

Conclusion: during the PK/PD experiment of ICR mice, the blood samples were collected at 1 h, 1.33 hours, 1.67 hours, 2 hours and 3 hours after administration to detect the concentration of the compound and the DPPIV activity so as to preliminarily know the correlation between the pharmacological effect and the plasma concentration. In this model, the DPPIV-P1 inhibited the activity of DPPIV in a dose dependent manner, and the drug exposure value of the DPPIV-P1 increased with the increase of administration dose, so that a good dose dependence relationship was shown. Meanwhile, in the case of the same dose, the drug exposure value (AUC_eff0-3h) of the DPPIV-P1 was slightly higher than the drug exposure value (AUC_eff0-3h) of the sitagliptin phosphate, wherein the drug exposure values were 542.28 ng·h/mL and 369.74 ng·h/mL, respectively. This also indicated that the DPPIV-P1 had higher oral bioacailability than the sitagliptin phosphate.

Research on the Hypoglycemic Effect of the Long-Term Administration of the Crystal Form B of Phosphate on DIO Mice

Experimental animals: C57BL16 mice aged for 5 weeks and weighed for about 13-16 g.

Grouping and administration scheme: the mice were fed adaptively and divided into a normal control group and a model group which were fed with high-fat feed (Research diets, D 12492).

When the fasting blood glucose of the mice was greater than or equal to 7 mM, it was considered that the mice had become DIO mice. The DIO mice could be selected for the hypoglycemic effect test. The DIO mice were stratified and randomly grouped according to the blood glucose and the weight. The experiment was carried out in 6 groups: (1) a lean mice control group; (2) a model control group; (3) sitagliptin phosphate 30 mg/kg; (4) DPPIV-P1 0.3 mg/kg; (5) DPPIV-P1 3 mg/kg; (6) DPPIV-P1 30 mg/kg; after the beginning of the experiment, the animals were intragastrically administrated with the drug every day at an administration volume of 10 ml/kg. The weight and the fasting blood glucose were measured weekly; the food amount, the remaining food amount and the food intake were recorded; the mice were fasted overnight at the end of administration, the blood was sampled, and the free fatty acid (NEFA), total cholesterol (TCHO), triglyceride (TG), insulin and DPPIV activity were measured by using serum.

The influence of DPPIV-P1 on the blood glucose level of the DIO mice was as follows: Table 14 and FIG. 29 showed the results of glucose monitoring during the experiment, and Table 15 and FIG. 30 showed the fasting blood glucose data after the drug was administrated for 28 days. The results showed that, at the end of the experiment, the DPPIV-P1 inhibited the rise of the blood glucose in a dose dependent manner. The inhibition rate was 14.2%, 9.9% and 18.5%, respectively, which were significantly or extremely significantly different from that of the model control group (p<0.05 or 0.01).

The influence of DPPIV-P1 on related metabolic parameters of the DIO mice was as follows: at the end of the experiment, the mice were fasted overnight (16 h), the blood was sampled and the free fatty acid (NEFA), total cholesterol (TCHO), triglyceride (TG), insulin and DPPIV activity were measured by using serum. FIG. 33, FIG. 34, FIG. 35, FIG. 36 and FIG. 37 showed the data statistics of NEFA, TCHO, TG, insulin, and food intake, respectively. The data showed that, at the end of long-term administration, compared with the model control group, the total cholesterol (TCHO) in the sitagliptin phosphate-30 group and the DPPIV-P1-30 group was decreased by 25.4% (P<0.01) and 18.4% (P<0.01), respectively. The insulin in the sitagliptin phosphate-30 group and the DPPIV-P1-0.3 group was decreased by 58.3% and 28.3% respectively (which has no significant difference in comparison with the model control group), and other metabolic data had no significant difference. Table 18 was a total data table of the metabolic parameters.

**p < 0.01 vs the model control group

The influence of DPPIV-P1 on the DPPIV activity of the DIO mice was as follows: FIG. 25 showed the result of the inhibition effect of the drug against the serum DPPIV in each group; the inhibition effect of DPPIV-P1 against DPPIV was dose-dependent, and, the inhibition rates of the DPPIV-P1-0.3, DPPIV-P1-3 and DPPIV-P1-30 against DPPIV were 47.1%, 82.7% and 95.3% respectively, which were significantly different from that of the model control group (p<0.01). The inhibition rate of the sitagliptin phosphate-30 against DPPIV was 66.4%, and the result was basically consistent with the inhibition rate of blood glucose.

Conclusion: the DIO mice with diet-induced diabetes were administrated with the drug for a long time, and the effect of DPPIV-P1 was observed. The results indicated that the long-term administration of DPPIV-P1 had no obvious effect on the fasting blood glucose of animals, and the results were consistent with the positive drug sitagliptin phosphate, so that it was indicated that the drug was not easy to result in hypoglycemia before the meal.

The long-term oral administration of DPPIV-P1 had no obvious effect on the weight, food intake, serum free fatty acid, triglyceride and other indexes of the animals and did not influence the normal lipid metabolism of the animals. However, both the DPPIV-P1 and the positive drug sitagliptin phosphate could reduce the level of serum insulin, and the degree of reduction was equivalent at different doses of the two drugs. This was related to the insulin secretion insufficiency induced by the lowering of blood glucose by the drugs.

After long-term administration, the inhibition effect of the DPPIV-P1 on the serum DPPIV was obviously higher than that of sitagliptin phosphate, and the inhibition effect of the DPPIV-P1 at the dose of 3 mg/kg was basically equivalent to that of sitagliptin phosphate at the dose of 30 mg/kg.

In conclusion, the DPPIV-P1 was good in tolerance and not easy to induce hypoglycemia after long-term administration. Meanwhile, compared with sitagliptin phosphate, the DPPIV-P1 had higher inhibition effect on the serum DPPIV.

Example 4: Method for Preparing the Phosphate Crystal Form B of the Compound of Formula (I)

15 mg of the amorphous phosphate of the compound of formula (I) prepared in Example 1 was dissolved in isopropyl alcohol to obtain a saturated solution, and the solvent was slowly volatilized at the room temperature (25±2° C.) to obtain solid. After detection, the obtained solid was the crystal form B of phosphate.

Example 5: Method for Preparing the Phosphate Crystal Form B of the Compound of Formula (I)

15 mg of the amorphous phosphate of the compound of formula (I) prepared in Example 1 was dissolved in 0.3 mL of isoamyl alcohol, and the solvent was slowly volatilized at the room temperature (25±2° C.) to obtain solid. After detection, the obtained solid was the crystal form B of phosphate.

Example 6: Method for Preparing the Phosphate Crystal Form B of the Compound of Formula (I)

1. 150 mg of the amorphous phosphate prepared in Example 1 was put into a 20 mL glass bottle.

2.4 mL of a mixed solution of isoamyl alcohol/water (19/1, v/v) was added, stirred and dissolved.

3. 5 mg of the crystal seed of the phosphate crystal form B prepared in Example 3 was added into the glass bottle.

4. The mixture was magnetically stirred (500 rpm) at the room temperature, samples were collected for analysis after 18 h, the XRPD result indicated that the phosphate crystal form B was obtained, and the XRPD pattern was shown in FIG. 13.

Example 7

1. 150 mg of the amorphous phosphate prepared in Example 1 was put into a 20 mL glass bottle.

2. 4 mL of a mixed solution of isopropyl alcohol/methyl tert-butyl ether (1/1, v/v) was added, stirred and dissolved.

3. 5 mg of the crystal seed of the phosphate crystal form B prepared in Example 3 was added into the glass bottle.

4. The solution was slowly volatilized at the room temperature to obtain a single crystal of the phosphate crystal form B.

FIG. 14 is a microphotograph of the single crystal of the phosphate crystal form B.

Needle-like single crystals of the phosphate crystal form B were selected, diffraction data of the single crystals was acquired, and the single crystal structure was successfully analyzed. The following Table 19 showed the single crystal structure and the structure correction data. FIG. 15 was a chemical structure of the crystal form B. FIG. 16, FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 showed a stereoscopic structure diagram, a molecular structure diagram and an ellipsoid diagram of the crystal form B, respectively. The chemical structure of the crystal form B was determined by the single crystal structure analysis, and the molar ratio of free base to phosphate radial to water molecule in the structure was 1:1:1. The single crystal structure also confirmed the absolute configuration of chiral carbon atoms C8(R) and C14(R) of the crystal form B. In the structure of the crystal form B, O6 and O6′ were disorders of the same water molecule. Due to the large thermal vibration of this water molecule, the probability of occurrence at the site of O6 and O6′ was 50%, respectively. FIG. 19 was a diagram of a unit cell of the single crystal of crystal form B. In the basic structure unit of the crystal, there were totally 6 basic units of the crystal form B, i.e., 6 free bases, 6 phosphate radicals and 6 water molecules. FIG. 20 was a schematic diagram of a hydrogen bond in a single crystal of the crystal form B. In the structure of the crystal form B, the amino group in each free base was connected with two adjacent free bases by an N—H . . . F hydrogen bond, and extended in the c-axis direction to form a one-dimensional chain structure. These one-dimensional chains were linked by phosphate radicals bond through N—H . . . O hydrogen bonds to form a one-dimensional hole structure in the c-axis direction, and water molecules were bonded with the phosphate radicals through O—H . . . O hydrogen bonds and filled in the one-dimensional hole formed by the free bases and the phosphate radicals, as shown in FIG. 21. FIG. 22 was a stack diagram of single crystals of the crystal form B. FIG. 23 was a comparison diagram between the simulated XRPD according to the single crystal structure of the crystal form B and the transmission XRPD of the crystal form B prepared in Example 7. It could be known from the comparison diagram that the simulated XRPD of the single crystal structure is basically the same as the XRPD of the crystal form B. In the transmission diagram, the diffraction peak at the position of 2Theta of 4.38 degrees was not as obvious as that in the simulated XRPD (FIG. 24 was a 3-hour scan of the reflected XRPD at 3°-7°, and the diffraction peak could be seen). This may be caused by preferred orientation.

The micrograph of the single crystal sample was shot at the room temperature by Shanghai dimension measurement stereomicroscope PXS9-T. The diffraction data of the single crystals were acquired by Bruker D8 ADVANCE single crystal diffractometer (Mo Kα, λ=0.71073 Å) at 290(2) K. The crystal structure was solved by a direct method (SHELXTL and OLEX2), coordinates of all non-hydrogen atoms were then determined by several rounds of difference Fourier synthesis, and the anisotropic temperature factors of all the non-hydrogen atoms were corrected by a full-matrix least square method. The structure diagram was generated by Diamond, and the unit cell diagram and the theoretically simulated XRPD pattern were generated by Mercury. The transmission XRPD data was acquired by the PANalytical Empyrean X-ray powder diffractometer. The reflected XRPD data was acquired by the Xpert 3 X-ray powder diffractometer.
