Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to solid state forms of Linagliptin, processes for preparing the solid state forms, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Linagliptin, 8-[3(R)-aminopiperidin-1l-yl]-7-(2-butynyl)-3-methyl-1-(4-methyl quinazolin-2-ylmethyl)xanthine, has the following chemical structure:

It is a DPP-4 inhibitor developed by Boehringer Ingelheim for the treatment of type II diabetes.

PCT Publications WO 2004/018468 and WO 2006/048427 describe synthesis of Linagliptin. Crystalline forms of Linagliptin, Forms A, B, C, D, and E are described in the PCT Publication No. WO 2007/128721. According to WO 2007/128721, Linagliptin prepared according to Publication No. WO 2004/018468 is present in ambient temperature as a mixture of two enantiotropic polymorphs. The temperature at which the two polymorphs transform into one another is 25±15° C. The pure high temperature form (polymorph A), can be obtained by heating the mixture to temperatures>40° C. The low temperature form (polymorph B) is obtained by cooling to temperatures<10° C.”. According to WO 2007/128721, the transition point between forms A and B is at room temperature, such that they exist as a polymorphic mixture. In addition, WO 2007/128721 teaches that form D “is obtained if polymorph C is heated to a temperature of 30-100° C. or dried at this temperature”. Since the procedure to obtain form C according to this application includes drying at 70° C., the dried form C is expected to be obtained in admixture with form D. WO 2007/128721 teaches that Form E is obtained only at high temperatures (after melting of form D at 150±3° C.), and therefore is not relevant industrially. There is a need for new polymorphs of Linagliptin that have better characteristics, for example, can be obtained and exist at room temperature as single, pure phase.

Polymorphism, the occurrence of different crystal forms, is a property of some molecules and molecular complexes. A single molecule may give rise to a variety of polymorphs having distinct crystal structures and physical properties like melting point, thermal behaviors (e.g., measured by thermogravimetric analysis—“TGA”, or differential scanning calorimetry—“DSC”), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, infrared absorption fingerprint, and solid state NMR spectrum. One or more of these techniques may be used to distinguish different polymorphic forms of a compound.

Discovering new polymorphic forms and solvates of a pharmaceutical product can provide materials having desirable processing properties, such as ease of handling, ease of processing, storage stability, and ease of purification or as desirable intermediate crystal forms that facilitate conversion to other polymorphic forms. New polymorphic forms and solvates of a pharmaceutically useful compound or salts thereof can also provide opportunities to improve the performance characteristics of a pharmaceutical product. They can also enlarge the repertoire of materials available to a formulation scientist for formulation optimization, for example by providing a product with different properties, e.g., better processing or handling characteristics, improved dissolution profile, or improved shelf-life. For at least these reasons, there is a need for additional polymorphs of Linagliptin.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention provides new solid state forms of Linagliptin. These solid state forms can be used to prepare Linagliptin salts and/or formulations thereof.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention provides new solid state forms of Linagliptin. These solid state forms can be used to prepare salts and/or formulations thereof.

The solid state forms of the present invention exist as single phase at room temperature. In the pharmaceutical industry there is a need for single-phase stable forms that do not transform into other forms at ambient conditions, and may be formulated even after prolonged storage times, without the risk of having a polymorphic conversion before and after formulation.

In addition, the solid state forms of the present invention have advantageous properties selected from at least one of: chemical purity, flowability, solubility, morphology or crystal habit, stability—such as storage stability, stability to dehydration, stability to polymorphic conversion, low hygroscopicity, and low content of residual solvents.

A polymorph may be referred to herein as substantially free of any other solid forms. As used herein in this context, the expression “substantially free” will be understood to mean that the solid state form contains 20% or less, 10% or less, 5% or less, 2% or less, or 1% or less of any other solid form of the subject compound as measured, for example, by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). Thus, polymorphs of Linagliptin described herein as substantially free of any other solid forms would be understood to contain greater than 80% (w/w), greater than 90% (w/w), greater than 95% (w/w), greater than 98% (w/w), or greater than 99% (w/w) of the subject form of Linagliptin. Accordingly, in some embodiments of the invention, the described polymorphs of Linagliptin may contain from 1% to 20% (w/w), from 5% to 20% (w/w), or from 5% to 10% (w/w) of one or more other solid forms of Linagliptin.

A solid state form may be referred to herein as being characterized by graphical data “as shown in” a Figure. Such data include, for example, powder X-ray diffractograms and solid state NMR spectra. The skilled person will understand that such graphical representations of data may be subject to small variations, e.g., in peak relative intensities and peak positions due to factors such as variations in instrument response and variations in sample concentration and purity, which factors are well known to the skilled person. Nonetheless, the skilled person would readily be capable of comparing the graphical data in the Figures herein with graphical data generated for an unknown crystal form and confirming whether the two sets of graphical data characterize the same solid state form or two different solid state forms. The skilled person would understand that a solid state form referred to herein as being characterized by graphical data “as shown in” a Figure would include any solid state form of the same chemical characterized by graphical data substantially similar to the Figure except for such small variations, the potential occurrence of which is well known to the skilled person.

Unless indicated otherwise, the solid state forms of the present invention can be dried. Drying may be carried out, for example, at elevated temperature under reduced pressure. The crystalline form can be dried, for example, at a temperature from about 40° C. to about 80° C., or about 40° C. to about 50° C., for example, about 40° C. The drying can be carried out under reduced pressure (i.e., less then 1 atmosphere, for example, about 10 mbar to about 100 mbar, or about 10 mbar to about 25 mbar). The drying can be carried out over a suitable period, for example, of about 8 hours to about 36 hours, or about 10 hours to about 24 hours, for example, about 16 hours. Drying can be carried out overnight.

As used herein, and unless stated otherwise, the term “anhydrous” in relation to crystalline Linagliptin relates to a crystalline Linagliptin which contains not more than 1% (w/w), more preferably not more than 0.5% (w/w) of either water or organic solvents as measured by KF or TGA.

As used herein, and unless stated otherwise, the term “non-hygroscopic” in relation to crystalline Linagliptin refers to less than 0.2% (w/w) absorption of water, for example atmospheric water, by the crystalline Linagliptin, as determined according to Ph.Eur. chapter 5.11 (“Hygroscopicity”)

In a specific embodiment, the invention encompasses Form XXII, as described above, can be non-hygroscopic.

In addition to the properties mentioned above, Form XXII is particularly important as it can be obtained and exist at ambient conditions as single, pure phase. Form XXII is a polymorphic stable form, and do not transform to other forms, for example, when slurrying it in different solvents, such as acetonitrile and ethanol. Form XXII is also non-hygroscopic and polymorphic stable under different relative humidity levels. For example, when stored for 7 days at room temperature under 0-100% relative humidity, no polymorphic transformation is observed.
