The disclosure also relates to the conversion of the described solid state forms of 9-ING-41 to other solid state forms of 9-ING-41, 9-ING-41 salts and their solid state forms thereof.
The name “9-ING-41” is another name for 3-(5-Fluorobenzofuran-3-yl)-4-(5-methyl-5H-[1,3]dioxolo[1,5-f]indol-7-yl)pyrrole-2,5-dione, and the two names are used interchangeably herein.
The solid state forms of 9-ING-41 according to the present disclosure may have advantageous properties selected from at least one of: chemical or polymorphic purity, flowability, solubility, dissolution rate, bioavailability, morphology or crystal habit, stability—such as chemical stability as well as thermal and mechanical stability with respect to polymorphic conversion, stability towards dehydration and/or storage stability, a lower degree of hygroscopicity, low content of residual solvents and advantageous processing and handling characteristics such as compressibility, or bulk density.
A crystal form may be referred to herein as being characterized by graphical data “as shown in” or “as characterized by” a Figure. Such data include, for example, powder X-ray diffractograms (XRPD), Differential Scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermograms, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) profiles, and differential vapor sorption profiles (DVS). As is well-known in the art, the graphical data potentially provides additional technical information to further define the respective solid state form which can not necessarily be described by reference to numerical values or peak positions alone. Thus, the term “substantially as shown in” when referring to graphical data in a Figure herein means a pattern that is not necessarily identical to those depicted herein, but that falls within the limits of experimental error or deviations, when considered by one of ordinary skill in the art. The skilled person would readily be able to compare the graphical data in the Figures herein with graphical data generated for an unknown crystal form and confirm whether the two sets of graphical data are characterizing the same crystal form or two different crystal forms.
A solid, crystalline form may be referred to herein as “polymorphically pure” or as “substantially free of any other form.” As used herein in this context, the expression “substantially free of any other forms” will be understood to mean that the solid form contains about 20% or less, about 10% or less, about 5% or less, about 2% or less, about 1% or less, or 0% of any other forms of the subject compound as measured, for example, by XRPD. Thus, a solid form of 9-ING-41 described herein as substantially free of any other solid forms would be understood to contain greater than about 80% (w/w), greater than about 90% (w/w), greater than about 95% (w/w), greater than about 98% (w/w), greater than about 99% (w/w), or about 100% of the subject solid form of 9-ING-41. Accordingly, in some embodiments of the disclosure, the described solid forms of 9-ING-41 may contain from about 1% to about 20% (w/w), from about 5% to about 20% (w/w), or from about 5% to about 10% (w/w) of one or more other solid forms of 9-ING-41.
As used herein, unless stated otherwise, XRPD peaks reported herein are measured using CuKα radiation, λ=1.5419 Å.
The modifier “about” should be considered as disclosing the range defined by the absolute values of the two endpoints. For example, the expression “from about 2 to about 4” also discloses the range “from 2 to 4.” When used to modify a single number, the term “about” refers to plus or minus 10% of the indicated number and includes the indicated number. For example, “about 10%” indicates a range of 9% to 11%, and “about 1” means from 0.9-1.1.
The term “solvate”, as used herein and unless indicated otherwise, refers to a crystal form that incorporates a solvent in the crystal structure. When the solvent is water, the solvate is often referred to as a “hydrate.” The solvent in a solvate may be present in either a stoichiometric or in a non-stoichiometric amount.

The resulting suspensions were filtered, and 100 μL of each filtrate was mixed in a well of a 96-well plate. The mixture was evaporated in an operating laboratory fume hood under ambient conditions, resulting in solid 9-ING-41 crystalline form II. This material produced the XRPD shown in
About 100 to 9-ING-41 Form I was weighed into a vial. 7 ml of a 10:1 (vol/vol) mixture of isoamyl alcohol:acetonitrile was added to the vial. The mixture was heated at 80° C. to give a solution which was subsequently filtered and seeded with form II 9-ING-41. The mixture was stirred while cooling to room temperature, resulting in crystallization. XRPD showed the resulting solid to be Form II.
About 2.0 g Form I was weighed into vial. 150 ml of a 10:1 (vol/vol) mixture of isoamyl alcohol:acetonitrile was added to the vial. The mixture was heated at 90° C. to give a solution which was subsequently filtered and seeded with form II 9-ING-41. The mixture was stirred while cooling to room temperature, resulting in crystallization. The crystalline solid (1.46 g) was characterized by PLM, XRPD, DSC and TGA. PLM showed the crystalline solid to be irregular lump crystals, XRPD (see
10.0 mg of Form II was weighed into mortar and ground for 5 min. The remaining solid was collected and analyzed by XRPD. The ground solid remained Form II 9-ING-41.
4.50 mg of Form II was compressed into tablet. The tablet was then ground into powder and analyzed by XRPD. Compression had no effect on the crystalline form.
9-ING-41 Form II was heated by DSC to the final temperature of 260° C. at the rate of 10° C./min. The melted product was put into an ice bath immediately and held for 15 minutes. The residue was analyzed by XRPD, which showed that the material was amorphous.
9-ING-41 Form II was heated to the final temperature of 260° C. at the rate of 10° C./min, then cooled down to −40° C. and re-heated to 260° C. at the same heating rate, and then cooled down to 40° C. The residue was analyzed by XRPD, which showed that the material was amorphous.
9-ING-41, either Form I or Form II, was added to 1 mL of each of 10 different solvents in a vial to make a suspension. The samples were shaken at 2000 rpm in a shaker at room temperature for 24 hours. Mixtures were visually examined to ensure saturation. After 24 hours, 1 mL of suspension was filtered through a 0.45 μm nylon micro-filtration membrane into another clear glass vial, respectively. The filtrate was analyzed by HPLC and the remaining solids were analyzed using XRPD. The solubility results are shown in Table 2 below.
The remaining solids in the experiments in which Form I was the starting material remained Form I.
The remaining solids in experiments in which Form II was the starting material changed form with the exception of the water and sesame oil experiments. In the water and sesame oil experiments, the remaining solids were Form II. In the ethanol experiment, the remaining solids were a solvate. In the other experiments, the solids appeared to be Form I.
Step 1: A sufficient amount of Form I was added to 1 mL solvent (EtOH, Labrasol, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Alcohol, PEG400:Tween80:EtOH (75:8:17) and PEG300:BzOH:Water (65:10:25)) to make a suspension. The samples were shaken at 2000 rpm in a shaker at room temperature for 24 hours.
Step 2: The vials were visually examined to ensure saturation. 1 mL of suspension was filtered at 24 hours through a 0.45 μm nylon micro-filtration membrane into another clean clear glass vial. The filtrate was analyzed by HPLC.
Step 3: Excess Form H was added to the 6 residual filtrates from Step 2 to make a suspension, respectively. The samples were shaken at 2000 rpm in a shaker for 1 hour. The suspensions were filtered after 1 hour through a 0.45 μm nylon micro-filtration membrane into another clean glass vial. The filtrate was analyzed by HPLC and the remaining solids were analyzed using XRPD.
The remaining solids in Labrasol, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Alcohol, and PEG400:Tween80:EtOH (75:8:17) were Form I, showing that the solid Form II rapidly converts to Form I. The crystal form of remaining solids did not change in EtOH and PEG300:BzOH:Water (65:10:25).
The solubility of 9-ING-41 in sesame oil cannot be measured by HPLC. The solubility was estimated by adding weighed portions of Form I (or Form II) into sesame oil. The samples were stirred for 24 hours at room temperature and the vials were visually examined to ensure dissolution. Solid was added in this manner until added solid did not dissolve in 24 hours. The results are shown in Table 4 below.
