This application claims priority to U.S. provisional patent application No. 61/410,421, filed Nov. 5, 2010, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.
This invention relates to solid forms of (S)-2-amino-3-(4-(2-amino-6-((R)-1-(4-chloro-2-(3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)pyrimidin-4-yl)phenyl)propanoic acid and salts thereof, compositions comprising them, and methods of their use.
Different solid forms of the same compound can have substantially different properties. For example, the amorphous form of a drug may exhibit different dissolution characteristics and different bioavailability patterns than its crystalline form(s), properties which can affect how the drug must be administered to achieve optimal effect. Amorphous and crystalline forms of a drug may also have different handling properties (e.g., flowability, compressibility), dissolution rates, solubilities and stabilities, all of which can affect the manufacture of dosage forms. Consequently, access to multiple forms of a drug is desirable for a variety of reasons. Moreover, regulatory authorities (e.g., the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) may require the identification of all solid forms of a new drug substance before approving products containing it. A. Goho, Science News 166(8):122-123 (2004).
Compounds may exist in one or more crystalline forms, but the existence and characteristics of those forms cannot be predicted with any certainty. And even after one polymorph has been identified, the existence and characteristics of other forms can only be determined by additional experimentation. Id.

5.1. Definitions
Unless otherwise indicated, the phrases “disease or disorder mediated by peripheral serotonin” and “disease and disorder mediated by peripheral serotonin” mean a disease and/or disorder having one or more symptoms, the severity of which is or are affected by peripheral serotonin levels.
Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “manage,” “managing” and “management” encompass preventing the recurrence of the specified disease or disorder in a patient who has already suffered from the disease or disorder, and/or lengthening the time that a patient who has suffered from the disease or disorder remains in remission. The terms encompass modulating the threshold, development and/or duration of the disease or disorder, or changing the way that a patient responds to the disease or disorder.
Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “prevent,” “preventing” and “prevention” contemplate an action that occurs before a patient begins to suffer from the specified disease or disorder, which inhibits or reduces the severity of the disease or disorder. In other words, the terms encompass prophylaxis.
Unless otherwise indicated, a “prophylactically effective amount” of a compound is an amount sufficient to prevent a disease or condition, or one or more symptoms associated with the disease or condition, or to prevent its recurrence. A prophylactically effective amount of a compound means an amount of therapeutic agent, alone or in combination with other agents, which provides a prophylactic benefit in the prevention of the disease or condition. The term “prophylactically effective amount” can encompass an amount that improves overall prophylaxis or enhances the prophylactic efficacy of another prophylactic agent.
Unless otherwise indicated, a “therapeutically effective amount” of a compound is an amount sufficient to provide a therapeutic benefit in the treatment or management of a disease or condition, or to delay or minimize one or more symptoms associated with the disease or condition. A therapeutically effective amount of a compound means an amount of therapeutic agent, alone or in combination with other therapies, which provides a therapeutic benefit in the treatment or management of the disease or condition. The term “therapeutically effective amount” can encompass an amount that improves overall therapy, reduces or avoids symptoms or causes of a disease or condition, or enhances the therapeutic efficacy of another therapeutic agent.
Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “treat,” “treating” and “treatment” contemplate an action that occurs while a patient is suffering from the specified disease or disorder, which reduces the severity of the disease or disorder or one or more of its symptoms, or retards or slows the progression of the disease or disorder.
Unless otherwise indicated, the term “include” has the same meaning as “include, but are not limited to,” and the term “includes” has the same meaning as “includes, but is not limited to.” Similarly, the term “such as” has the same meaning as the term “such as, but not limited to.”
Unless otherwise indicated, one or more adjectives immediately preceding a series of nouns is to be construed as applying to each of the nouns. For example, the phrase “optionally substituted alky, aryl, or heteroaryl” has the same meaning as “optionally substituted alky, optionally substituted aryl, or optionally substituted heteroaryl.”
It should also be noted that any atom shown in a drawing with unsatisfied valences is assumed to be attached to enough hydrogen atoms to satisfy the valences. In addition, chemical bonds depicted with one solid line parallel to one dashed line encompass both single and double (e.g., aromatic) bonds, if valences permit. Structures that represent compounds with one or more chiral centers, but which do not indicate stereochemistry (e.g., with bolded or dashed lines), encompasses pure stereoisomers and mixtures (e.g., racemic mixtures) thereof. Similarly, names of compounds having one or more chiral centers that do not specify the stereochemistry of those centers encompass pure stereoisomers and mixtures thereof.

5.4. Pharmaceutical Compositions
This invention encompasses pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms comprising solid form of the invention. Pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms of this invention may optionally contain one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or excipients. Certain pharmaceutical compositions are single unit dosage forms suitable for oral, topical, mucosal (e.g., nasal, pulmonary, sublingual, vaginal, buccal, or rectal), parenteral (e.g., subcutaneous, intravenous, bolus injection, intramuscular, or intraarterial), or transdermal administration to a patient. Examples of dosage forms include, but are not limited to: tablets; caplets; capsules, such as soft elastic gelatin capsules; cachets; troches; lozenges; dispersions; suppositories; ointments; cataplasms (poultices); pastes; powders; dressings; creams; plasters; solutions; patches; aerosols (e.g., nasal sprays or inhalers); gels; liquid dosage forms suitable for oral or mucosal administration to a patient, including suspensions (e.g., aqueous or non-aqueous liquid suspensions, oil-in-water emulsions, or a water-in-oil liquid emulsions), solutions, and elixirs; liquid dosage forms suitable for parenteral administration to a patient; and sterile solids (e.g., crystalline or amorphous solids) that can be reconstituted to provide liquid dosage forms suitable for parenteral administration to a patient.
The formulation should suit the mode of administration. For example, oral administration may require enteric coatings to protect the active ingredient from degradation within the gastrointestinal tract. In another example, the active ingredient may be administered in a liposomal formulation to shield it from degradative enzymes, facilitate transport in circulatory system, and/or effect delivery across cell membranes to intracellular sites.
The composition, shape, and type of dosage forms of the invention will typically vary depending on their use. For example, a dosage form used in the acute treatment of a disease may contain larger amounts of one or more of the active ingredients it comprises than a dosage form used in the chronic treatment of the same disease. Similarly, a parenteral dosage form may contain smaller amounts of one or more of the active ingredients it comprises than an oral dosage form used to treat the same disease. These and other ways in which specific dosage forms encompassed by this invention will vary from one another will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. See, e.g., Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th ed., Mack Publishing, Easton Pa. (1990).
Some specific embodiments of the invention are described in the following examples.
1-(4-Chloro-2-iodo-phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethanol (0.840 g, 2.5 mmol), 3-methyl pyrazole (0.230 g, 2.8 mmol), CuI (0.190 g, 1.0 mmol), K2CO3 (0.863 g, 6.25 mmol), (1R,2R)—N,N′-dimethyl-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine (0.071 g, 0.5 mmol) and toluene (10 ml) were combined in a 20 ml pressure tube, and the mixture was heated at 130° C. (oil bath temperature) for 12 hours. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with H2O (2×20 ml), brine, and dried over sodium sulfate. Removal of solvent gave a crude product, which was purified by ISCO column chromatography using 5-10% ethyl acetate in hexane as solvent to afford 1-[4-chloro-2-(3-methyl-pyrazol-1-yl)-phenyl]-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethanol (240 mg).
1-[4-Chloro-2-(3-methyl-pyrazol-1-yl)-phenyl]-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethanol (0.120 g, 0.41 mmol), (S)-3-[4-(2-amino-6-chloro-pyrimidine-4-yl)-phenyl]-2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-propionic acid (0.176 g, 0.45 mmol), 1,4-dioxane (4 ml), and Cs2CO3 (0.533 g, 1.64 mmol) were combined in a 20 ml sealed tube, and the mixture was heated at 100° C. for 12 hours. The mixture was concentrated. To the residue, 10% methanol in DCM (50 ml) was added and the mixture was filtered. The filtrate was concentrated to give a crude product, which was taken in THF/3N HCl (30 ml/15 ml) and the resulting mixture was stirred at 40-45° C. for 12 hours. LCMS indicated the completion of reaction with desired product. The mixture was concentrated to give a crude product, which was dissolved in MeOH and H2O (1:1) and purified by preparative HPLC using MeOH/H2O/TFA as solvent system to give (S)-2-amino-3-[4-(2-amino-6-{1-[4-chloro-2-(3-methyl-pyrazol-1-yl)-phenyl]-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethoxy}-pyrimidine-4-yl)-phenyl]-propionic acid as a TFA salt. LCMS: M+1=547. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD): δ (ppm) 2.30 (s, 3H), 3.10-3.30 (m, 2H), 4.20 (t, 1H), 6.32 (d, 1H), 6.74 (s, 1H), 7.0 (q, 1H), 7.38 (d, 2H), 7.50 (m, 2H), 7.72 (m, 1H), 7.90 (m, 3H).
Crystalline free-base (neutral form) was obtained by mixing amorphous (S)-2-amino-3-(4-(2-amino-6-((R)-1-(4-chloro-2-(3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)pyrimidin-4-yl)phenyl)propanoic acid (101.2 mg) with 1 ml MeCN/H2O. The resulting suspension was shaken with an Eppendorf Thermomixer for five days using the following temperature program: four hours at 20° C., heating to 40° C. in two hours, two hours at 40° C., cooling to 20° C. in four hours. The resulting solid was filtered off to afford crystalline needles.

The solution was concentrated to 34-38 L at below 55° C. under −0.06-0.07 Mpa. More 2-methyl THF (102 kg) was added and the water content of the solution was found to be 5%. The solution was concentrated to 56-65 L at below 55° C. under −0.06 to −0.07 Mpa. The batch was heated to 50-55° C. and 67 kg of 2-methyl THF was added slowly through a pipe filtered at 50-55° C. over 30 minutes. (S)-2-amino-3-(4-(2-amino-6-((R)-1-(4-chloro-2-(3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)pyrimidin-4-yl)phenyl)propanoic acid seed (60 g) in a small amount of 2-methyl THF was added into the reactor and the mixture was stirred at 50-55° C. over 1 hour. Additional 2-methyl THF (77 kg) was added at 50-55° C. through a pipe filter in 2 hours and the mixture was stirred for 2 hours at the same temperature before being concentrated to 78-90 L at below 55° C. under −0.06 to −0.07 Mpa.
After concentration, the volume of the mixture was adjusted by adding 51 kg of methyl THF at 50-55° C. The mixture was stirred at 50-55° C. for 2 hours and then cooled to 20-25° C. and stirred for 10 hours. The solid was filtered through a centrifuge. The reactor and the centrifuge were washed with 2-methyl THF twice (2×30 kg). The wet cake of free base was dried at 50-60° C. under vacuum for 10 hours. The free base was charged into a 300 L glass lined reactor containing 13 kg benzenesulfonic acid in acetonitrile solution (prepared by adding 3.45 kg benzenesulfonic acid hydrate (assay 87.1%, assay adjusted weight 3.00 kg) in 32 kg of acetonitrile), 7.5 kg of acetic acid and 7 kg of acetonitrile. The mixture was heated to 58-63° C. and stirred for 2.5 hours until all solid was dissolved. Additional 4.9 kg of benzenesulfonic acid acetonitrile solution was added and the mixture was stirred at 58-63° C. for 10-15 minutes. (S)-2-amino-3-(4-(2-amino-6-((R)-1-(4-chloro-2-(3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)pyrimidin-4-yl)phenyl)propanoic acid besylate seed (45 g) was added and the mixture was stirred for 2 hours. The final portion of benzenesulfonic acid acetonitrile solution (16.8 kg) was slowly added in 2 hours and the mixture was stirred at 58-63° C. for 1 hour.
The containers of the benzenesulfonic acid acetonitrile solution was rinsed with 32 kg of acetonitrile and the rinse was slowly added into the reactor in 2 hours. The slurry was stirred at 58-63° C. for 3 hours before slowly cooled to 20-25° C. in 2-4 hours. The slurry was stirred at 20-25° C. for 12 hours and then filtered with a centrifuge. The reactor and the wet cake were washed with acetonitrile three times (3×20 kg). The wet cake (15.44 kg) was dried at 50-60° C. under vacuum for 40 hours. The product (besylate Form C), was unloaded and sieved. Yield 11.46 kg, assay 99.3%, assay adjusted yield 74%, purity 99.6%.

After the solvent was evaporated, 3.0 mL IPA was added to give a clear solution. After adding 4.0 mL heptane in the period of 5 min, the reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours. The solid was filtered, washed with, dried overnight under vacuum at 45° C. to give 135 mg (85.5% yield) (S)-2-amino-3-(4-(2-amino-6-((R)-1-(4-chloro-2-(3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)pyrimidin-4-yl)phenyl)propanoic acid dibesylate as an off-white solid.
The crystallinity of the solid was confirmed by XRPD. The DSC exhibited a sharp peak at 226.8° C. TGA showed about 15% weight loss up to 240° C., and an additional 27.5% weight loss up to 350° C. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging of the solid showed rod-like crystals.
A flask was charged with 0.5 mL of (S)-2-amino-3-(4-(2-amino-6-((R)-1-(4-chloro-2-(3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)pyrimidin-4-yl)phenyl)propanoic acid free base (0.05 M, 0.025 mmol) in MeOH and 0.28 mL ethane-1,2-disulfonic acid in IPA (0.1N, 0.028 mmol, 1.1 equiv.). After the solvent was evaporated, 0.5 mL of ethanol/H2O (100:5) was added. The white suspension was heated to 75° C. and stirred until the solid was completely dissolved (about 15 minutes). After stirred overnight at room temperature, the solid was filtered, washed with 0.5 mL heptane, and dried at 45° C. under vacuum overnight to afford (S)-2-amino-3-(4-(2-amino-6-((R)-1-(4-chloro-2-(3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)pyrimidin-4-yl)phenyl)propanoic acid edisilate (12.5 mg, 68% yield) as off-white solid.
The crystallinity of the solid was confirmed by XRPD. The DSC exhibited a sharp peak at 258.5° C. TGA showed about 0.95% weight loss up to about 120° C., and 16.2% up to about 250° C. SEM imaging of the solid showed plane-like crystals.
A flask was charged with 0.5 mL of (S)-2-amino-3-(4-(2-amino-6-((R)-1-(4-chloro-2-(3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)pyrimidin-4-yl)phenyl)propanoic acid free base (0.05 M, 0.025 mmol) in MeOH, and 0.28 mL ethanesulfonic acid in IPA (0.1N, 0.028 mmol, 1.1 equiv.). After the solvent was evaporated, 0.75 mL MeCN was added and stirred to give a suspension, followed by adding 0.2 mL EtOH and heated until the solid was completely dissolved. After stirring overnight, the crystal was filtered off, washed with heptane (0.6 mL), dried at 45° C. under vacuum to give (S)-2-amino-3-(4-(2-amino-6-((R)-1-(4-chloro-2-(3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)pyrimidin-4-yl)phenyl)propanoic acid esylate (69% yield).
The crystallinity of the solid was confirmed by XRPD. The DSC exhibited a sharp peak at 222.8° C. TGA showed 41.7% weight loss up to about 390° C.; the combustion of the ethanesulfonic acid produced 16% weight loss up to 570° C. SEM imaging of the solid showed needle-like crystals.
1.0N isopropyl sulfuric acid (0.19 mL, 1.04 eq) in IPA was added to a solution of (S)-2-amino-3-(4-(2-amino-6-((R)-1-(4-chloro-2-(3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)pyrimidin-4-yl)phenyl)propanoic acid free base (3.66 mL, 0.05M, 0.183 mmol) in MeOH and followed by evaporation of solvent to dry. After adding of 6.5 mL MeCN/IPA (3/1) and heating at 75° C., a clear solution was obtained. 2.0 mL solvent was evaporated and stirred overnight. The precipitate was collected by filtration. The cake was washed with heptane, dried at 45° C. under vacuum overnight to give 68 mg (S)-2-amino-3-(4-(2-amino-6-((R)-1-(4-chloro-2-(3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)pyrimidin-4-yl)phenyl)propanoic acid isopropyl sulfate, (54% yield).
The crystallinity of the solid was confirmed by XRPD. The DSC exhibited a sharp peak at 203.98° C. TGA showed about 1.3% weight loss up to about 200° C. SEM imaging of the solid showed rod-like crystals.
