Description
Crystalline form, pharmaceutical composition, use of the crystalline form, and method for preventing or treating.
[001] This descriptive report claims the benefit of priority of European patent application no. 023161547,7, filed on 13 March 2023, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety for all purposes. TECHNICAL FIELD
[002] This descriptive report refers to a crystalline form of (3S)-2-[(5-amino-6-fluoro-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridin-2-yl)methyl]-1'-but-2-ynyl-6-fluoro-spiro[isoindoline-3,3'-pyrrolidine]-1,2'-dione, and to its compositions and uses. BACKGROUND
[003] Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) is a member of the PRMT family of arginine methyltransferase enzymes that catalyze the addition of methyl groups to the guanidine motif of arginine residues, using S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) as a methyl donor. PRMT5 is a type II arginine methyltransferase that symmetrically dimethylates the guanidine group of arginine residues, thus converting an arginine NH2 guanidine group into an NMe2 group. PRMT5 methylates various substrates, including histone and non-histone proteins, and in doing so regulates processes such as RNA splicing, cell proliferation, and DNA repair. Significantly, PRMT5 is overexpressed in several types of cancer and has been identified as a candidate for therapeutic intervention through the development of small molecules that inhibit PRMT5 methyltransferase activity (see, for example, Kim et al., (2020) Cell Stress 4(8) 199-2151).
[004] Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A) is a tumor suppressor gene that is homozygous deleted in approximately 15% of cancers. Loss of the locus on chromosome 9p21 Petition 870250081337, dated 10 / 09 / 2025, page 10 / 64 2 / 47 results in the co-deletion of several additional genes, including the gene encoding methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP). MTAP is a metabolic enzyme involved in methionine salvage, and the loss of MTAP results in increased concentrations of the MTAP substrate methylthioadenosine (MTA) in CDKN2A / MTAP-deleted cancer cells. MTA itself acts as a weak inhibitor of PRMT5, and the accumulation of MTA in CDKN2A / MTAP-deleted cancer cell lines leads to partial inhibition of PRMT5 activity. The compromised PRMT5 activity makes CDKN2A / MTAP-deleted cancer cells susceptible to further PRMT5 targeting, for example, using short-loop RNA (shRNA). A “collateral vulnerability” has been identified in cancer, where tumors with CDKN2A / MTAP deletion can be selectively targeted through PRMT5 inhibition (see Marjon et al., (2016) Cell Reports 15, 574-587; Mavrakis et al., (2016) Science 11;351(6278):1208-13; Kryukov et al., (2016) Science 11;351(6278):1214-8).
[005] PRMT5 inhibitors that are “MTA synergistic” (i.e., inhibitors that bind to PRMT5, preferably in the presence of MTA) exert a greater inhibitory effect on PRMT5 in environments where relatively high concentrations of MTA are present, such as tumor cells with CDKN2A / MTAP deletion, and not in healthy tissues. Consequently, PRMT5 inhibitors that are “MTA synergistic” must possess a high therapeutic index (and low off-target toxicity), as their antiproliferative activity will selectively manifest in target tumor cells with CDKN2A / MTAP deletion. Several PRMT5 inhibitors that are “MTA synergistic” have entered clinical trials, such as MRTX-1719 (NCT05245500); TNG-908 (NCT05275478); TNG-462 (NCT05732831); AMG-193 (NCT05094336, NCT05094336); and AZD3470 (NCT06130553; NCT06137144). However, to date, no PRMT5 inhibitor, much less PRMT5 inhibitors "synergistic with MTA", has been approved for Petition 870250081337, dated 10 / 09 / 2025, page 11 / 64 3 / 47 Therapeutic use. Document PCT / EP2022 / 075248 (published as International Publication Leaflet WO2023 / 036974) discloses PRMT5 inhibitors, particularly PRMT5 inhibitors synergistic with MTA, including the compound (3S)-2-[(5-amino-6-fluoro-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridin-2-yl)methyl]-1'but-2-ynyl-6-fluoro-spiro[isoindoline-3,3'-pyrrolidine]-1,2'-dione (hereinafter referred to as Compound (I)): F Compound (I), together with its activity as an enzyme inhibitor PRMT5 in assays with MTA present (IC50 0.006 μM) and MTA absent (IC50 0.027 μM), its activity in wild-type HCT116 cells (IC50 0.2 μM) and knockout HCT116 MTAP cells (IC50 0.0059 μM), and its activity against cell proliferation in wild-type HCT116 cells (IC50 6.1 μM) and knockout HCT116 MTAP cells (IC50 0.24 μM). Therefore, Compound (I) is an inhibitor of PRMT5 and is, in particular, a PRMT5 inhibitor synergistic with MTA. To further study the therapeutic potential of Compound (I), it is desirable to have solid forms of the compound with properties suitable for pharmaceutical development.
[006] In the formulation of pharmaceutical substances, it is important that the pharmaceutical substance (active compound) be in a form in which it can be conveniently handled and processed. This is important not only from the point of view of obtaining a commercially viable manufacturing process for the pharmaceutical substance itself, but also from the point of view of the subsequent manufacture of pharmaceutical formulations. Petition 870250081337, dated 10 / 09 / 2025, page 12 / 64 4 / 47 comprising the active compound and suitable excipients. The chemical and physical stability of the active compound are important factors in determining the suitability of a solid dosage form for use in the development of pharmaceutical formulations. The active compound, and the formulations containing it, must be able to be effectively stored for appreciable periods of time without exhibiting any significant alteration in the physicochemical characteristics of the active compound (e.g., chemical composition, density, hygroscopicity, and solubility).
[007] The need remains to provide a solid form of Compound (I) that has adequate physical and chemical stability and other drug-related properties suitable for pharmaceutical development. Summary of the descriptive report
[008] In one aspect, the descriptive report provides a crystalline form that is a cocrystal of (3S)-2-[(5-amino-6-fluoro-1H-pyrrolo[3,2b]pyridin-2-yl)methyl]-1'-but-2-ynyl-6-fluoro-spiro[isoindoline-3,3'-pyrrolidine]1,2'-dione: F Compound (I), and adipic acid in a 2:1 ratio (herein referred to as “Form A of Compound (I)”).
[009] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that, although a specific tautomer of Compound (I) is shown above, Compound (I) may exist Petition 870250081337, dated 10 / 09 / 2025, page 13 / 64 5 / 47 in multiple tautomeric forms. The descriptive report covers all these tautomeric forms.
[0010] The descriptive report also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising Compound (I) Form A and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
[0011] The descriptive report also provides Compound Form A (I) for use as a medicine, for example, in the prophylaxis or treatment of a PRMT5-mediated disorder.
[0012] The descriptive report also provides the use of Compound Form A (I) in the manufacture of a drug, for example, for the prophylaxis or treatment of a PRMT5-mediated disorder.
[0013] The descriptive report also provides a method for preventing or treating, for example, preventing or treating a PRMT5-mediated disorder, which comprises administering Compound Form A (I).
[0014] Document PCT / EP2022 / 075248 (published as International Publication Leaflet WO2023 / 036974) describes the synthesis of a crystalline form of Compound (I) (herein referred to as “Reference Form 1”). However, as discussed in the Examples below, experimental investigation of its properties has revealed that Reference Form 1 exhibits characteristics that may be detrimental to pharmaceutical development. For example, under ambient conditions, Reference Form 1 exists as a hemihydrate that can be reversibly converted to the anhydrous or monohydrate form by changes in temperature and / or relative humidity.The reversible (de)hydration behavior of Reference Form 1 can result in unpredictable changes in physical properties due to interconversion between distinct forms, consequently affecting storage and manufacturing, and may also create variability in analytical assays that could complicate its development and use as a pharmaceutical active ingredient. Petition 870250081337, dated 10 / 09 / 2025, page 14 / 64 6 / 47
[0015] Compound Form A, as described herein, has a distinct crystalline structure (as determined by XRPD) and, surprisingly, exhibits a combination of characteristics that are attractive in the context of pharmaceutical development. For example, Compound Form A exhibits high thermal stability (melting point -217.6 °C, as determined by DSC); is non-solvated (as determined by DSC and TGA); exhibits low hygroscopic capacity (as determined by DVS); appears to be physically stable (as determined by XRPD analysis after an aqueous fluid paste stability experiment); and appears to have better solubility in a range of biorelevant media compared to Reference Form 1 (as determined by experiments in intestinal and gastric fluid models).
[0016] Compound (I) may exist in other solid forms with alternative counterions, such as acetic acid, 1,5-naphthalenedisulfonic acid, glutaric acid, oxalic acid, propionic acid, camphoric acid, 5-nitroisophthalic acid, 5-chlorsalicylic acid, 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid, benzoic acid, fumaric acid, sulfuric acid, 2-mesitylenesulfonic acid, gallic acid, 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, or 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid. These may exist in crystalline forms that are i) cocrystals of Compound (I) and the counterion; ii) salts of Compound (I); or mixtures thereof. However, Form A of Compound (I) is a crystalline form that appears to be particularly suitable for pharmaceutical development. Brief Description of the Figures

[0022] Powder X-ray diffraction analysis can be performed according to standard methods, examples of which can be found in, for example, Kitaigorodsky, AI (1973), Molecular Crystals and Molecules, Academic Press, New York; Bunn, CW (1948), Chemical Crystallography, Clarendon Press, London; or Klug, HP & Alexander, LE (1974), X-ray Diffraction Procedures, John Wiley & Sons, New York.
[0023] It is known in the art that a powder X-ray diffraction pattern can be obtained having one or more measurement errors depending on the measurement conditions (such as equipment, sample preparation, or machine used). In particular, it is generally known that the intensities in a powder X-ray diffraction pattern can oscillate depending on the measurement conditions and sample preparation. For example, one skilled in the art of powder X-ray diffraction will realize that the relative peak intensities can vary according to the orientation of the sample under test and the type and configuration of the instrument used. One skilled in the art will also realize that the position of the reflections can be affected by the precise height at which the sample is placed in the diffractometer and by the zero calibration of the diffractometer. The surface flatness of the sample can also have a small effect.Those versed in the technique of X-ray powder diffraction will also realize that the relative intensity of the peaks can be affected, for example, by grains larger than approximately 30 micrometers and non-unitary aspect ratios, which can affect the analysis of the... Petition 870250081337, dated 10 / 09 / 2025, p. 16 / 64 8 / 47 samples. Furthermore, it should be understood that intensities may oscillate depending on experimental conditions and sample preparation, such as preferred orientation of particles in the sample. The use of automatic or fixed divergence slits will also influence the relative intensity calculations. One skilled in the art can handle such effects when comparing diffraction patterns. Therefore, one skilled in the art will appreciate that the diffraction pattern data presented in the present invention should not be interpreted as absolute and any crystalline form that provides a powder diffraction pattern substantially identical to those disclosed herein falls within the scope of this descriptive report (for more information, see Jenkins, R & Snyder, RL “Introduction to X-Ray Powder Diffractometry” John Wiley & Sons 1996).
[0024] In general, a measurement error of a diffraction angle in a powder X-ray diffractogram is about 5% or less, in particular plus or minus 0.2°2-theta, and such a degree of measurement error should be taken into account when considering the powder X-ray diffraction patterns in Figure 1 and when reading Tables 2 and 3. Furthermore, it should be understood that intensities can oscillate depending on experimental conditions and sample preparation (preferred orientation). The definition of relative intensity is described in Table 1: Table 1. Definition of relative intensity. Percentage of relative intensity Definition 25 to 100 very strong 10 to 25 strong 3 to 10 medium <3 weak
[0025] A powder X-ray diffraction pattern was obtained directly from a sample of Compound (I) Form A, prepared as described herein. From visual analysis of the pattern (Figure 1), it is evident that Compound (I) Form A is highly crystalline. The ten most prominent peaks are shown in Table 2: Petition 870250081337, dated 10 / 09 / 2025, page 17 / 64 9 / 47 Table 2, Ten most prominent peaks in the powder X-ray diffraction pattern of FormaA. 2θ,° Relative intensity 8.9 very strong 14.5 strong 16.9 strong 17.4 strong 19.1 very strong 19.7 very strong 21.2 strong 22.9 very strong 23.7 strong 25.8 strong

[0036] In one embodiment, the descriptive report provides Form A Petition 870250081337, dated 10 / 09 / 2025, page 20 / 64 12 / 47 of Compound (I), which has a powder X-ray diffraction pattern containing specific peaks at (±0.2) 8.9, 14.5, 16.9, 17.4, 19.1, 19.7, 21.2, 22.9, 23.7 and 25.8 degrees 2-theta when the measurement is made using CuKa radiation.

[0038] In one embodiment, the descriptive report provides Compound Form A (I), which has a powder X-ray diffraction pattern containing specific peaks at (±0.2) 8.9, 14.5, 16.9, 17.4, 19.1, 19.7, 21.2, 22.9, 23.7 and 25.8 degrees 2-theta when the measurement is made using CuKa radiation and one, two or three specific peaks selected from (±0.2) 27.0, 28.1 and 29.2 2-theta when the measurement is made using CuKa radiation.In one embodiment, the descriptive report provides Compound Form A (I) which has a powder X-ray diffraction pattern containing specific peaks at about 8.9, 14.5, 16.9, 17.4, 19.1, 19.7, 21.2, 22.9, 23.7 and 25.8 degrees 2-theta when the measurement is made using CuKa radiation and one, two or three selected specific peaks at about 27.0, 28.1 and 29.2 degrees 2-theta when the measurement is made using CuKa radiation.
[0039] In one embodiment, the descriptive report provides Compound Form A (I), which has a powder X-ray diffraction pattern substantially as shown in Figure 1 when the measurement is made using CuKa radiation.
[0040] In this descriptive report, in cases where the form Petition 870250081337, dated 10 / 09 / 2025, page 21 / 64 13 / 47 crystalline is described as having “a powder X-ray diffraction pattern containing at least one specific peak at (±0.2)…” or “a powder X-ray diffraction pattern containing at least one specific peak at approximately…”, the XRPD of the crystalline form may contain one or more of the 2-theta values shown, for example, one or more of the 2-theta values, 2 or more of the 2-theta values, or 3 or more of the 2-theta values shown. Similar descriptions with reference to different numbers of peaks (such as “…containing at least two specific peaks…” etc.) should be interpreted in the same way.
[0041] Compound Form A (I) was also characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). One versed in the technique will understand that the value or range of values observed in the DSC thermogram of a specific compound will show variation between batches of different purities. Therefore, while for one compound the range may be small, for others the range may be quite large. In general, a measurement error of a diffraction angle in DSC thermal events is approximately plus or minus 5 °C, and such a degree of measurement error should be taken into account when considering the DSC data included herein, as for Figure 3.
[0042] When heated in a differential scanning calorimeter (conditions as described in the Examples section), Form A of Compound (I) exhibits a melting process with an onset temperature of about 216.6 °C and a peak temperature of about 217.7 °C as illustrated in Figure 3.
[0043] In one embodiment, the descriptive report provides Compound Form A (I), which has a DSC thermogram with an initial melt at 216.6 °C plus or minus 5 °C and a peak at 217.7 °C plus or minus 5 °C. In one embodiment, the descriptive report provides Compound Form A (I) which has a DSC thermogram with an initial melt at about 216.6 °C and a peak at about 217.7 °C. In one embodiment, the descriptive report Petition 870250081337, dated 10 / 09 / 2025, p. 22 / 64 14 / 47 provides Form A of Compound (I) which has a DSC thermogram substantially as shown in Figure 3.
[0044] Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) (in combination with DSC, as described above) also demonstrates that, in contrast to Reference Form 1 (which, as discussed above, has variable and reversible (de)hydration), Form A of Compound (I) is not solvated, which may provide advantages during storage, manufacturing and pharmaceutical development.
[0045] In one embodiment, the descriptive report provides Compound Form A (I) which has a DSC and TGA superimposed thermogram substantially as shown in Figure 3.
[0046] In one embodiment, the descriptive report provides a crystalline form that is a cocrystal of (3S)-2-[(5-amino-6-fluoro-1H-pyrrolo[3,2b]pyridin-2-yl)methyl]-1'-but-2-ynyl-6-fluoro-spiro[isoindoline-3,3'-pyrrolidine]1,2'-dione: F Compound (I), and adipic acid in a 2:1 ratio (Form A of Compound (I)), having at least one of the following: a) a powder X-ray diffraction pattern containing specific peaks at (±0.2) 8.9, 19.1, 19.7 and 22.9 degrees 2-theta when the measurement is made using CuKa radiation; b) a powder X-ray diffraction pattern containing specific peaks at (±0.2) 8.9, 14.5, 16.9, 17.4, 19.1, 19.7, 21.2, 22.9, 23.7 and 25.8 Petition 870250081337, dated 10 / 09 / 2025, page 23 / 64 15 / 47 degrees 2-theta when the measurement is made using CuKa radiation; c) a powder X-ray diffraction pattern substantially as shown in Figure 1; d) a DSC thermogram with an initial melting point at 216.6 °C plus or minus 5 °C and a peak at 217.7 °C plus or minus 5 °C; (e) a DSC thermogram and, optionally, a TGA thermogram substantially as shown in Figure 3.
[0047] When it is stated that the present descriptive report refers to a crystalline form, the degree of crystallinity is greater than about 60%. In one embodiment, the degree of crystallinity is greater than about 80%. In one embodiment, the degree of crystallinity is greater than about 90%. In one embodiment, the degree of crystallinity is greater than about 95%. In one embodiment, the degree of crystallinity is greater than about 98%.
[0048] It is desirable that the crystalline form be substantially free of other crystalline forms of Compound (I) (i.e., a crystalline form or forms other than Form A of Compound (I)). Therefore, in one embodiment, the crystalline form contains less than 20%, 15%, 10%, 5%, 3%, or 1% by weight of other crystalline forms of Compound (I). In another embodiment, the crystalline form contains more than 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 97%, or 99% by weight of Form A of Compound (I).
[0049] Based on the present experimental data, it is believed that Form A of Compound (I) is a cocrystal of (3S)-2-[(5-amino-6-fluoro-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridin-2-yl)methyl]-1'-but-2-ynyl-6-fluoro-spiro[isoindoline-3,3'-pyrrolidine]-1,2'-dione and adipic acid in a 2:1 ratio, that is, having a stoichiometric ratio of 2:1 of (3S)-2-[(5-amino-6-fluoro-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridin-2-yl)methyl]-1'-but-2-ynyl-6-fluoro-spiro[isoindoline-3,3'-pyrrolidine]-1,2'-dione: adipic acid. Form A of Compound (I) can also be called the cocrystal of Compound (I): hemiadipic acid.
[0050] Without wishing to be limited by theory, cocrystal formation Petition 870250081337, dated 10 / 09 / 2025, p. 24 / 64 16 / 47 results from situations where an acid or base “coformer” is a solid at room temperature and there is no or only partial proton transfer between the free compound and such acid or base coformer. Consequently, a cocrystal of the coformer and the free compound results, rather than a salt. The definition of the acid or base coformer being a solid at room temperature is intended to distinguish cocrystals from solvates. It is accepted that proton transfer is in fact a continuum and can change with temperature, and therefore the point at which a cocrystal is best described as a salt can be somewhat subjective. However, as mentioned above, based on all the experimental evidence present, it is believed that Form A of Compound (I) is a cocrystal.

The crystallization of the desired Form A of Compound (I) can be aided by seeding with crystals of the desired shape. The seed crystals can be obtained using one of the Petition 870250081337, dated 10 / 09 / 2025, page 25 / 64 17 / 47 methods described in the Examples, such as Method B. The use of seeding is particularly advantageous in large-scale manufacturing. Medical uses

This step was repeated for the final wash, after which the contents of the filter were discharged onto a drying dish and dried under vacuum in an oven at 45 to 50 °C for 17 hours, resulting in Form A of Compound (I) with a yield of approximately 85%. Example 2: XRPD Analysis of the Polymorph of Form A of Compound (I)
[00110] The powder X-ray diffractogram was recorded with a two-theta scan axis and in one-dimensional scanning with a Rigaku SmartLab (X-ray wavelength 1.5418 Â of nickel-filtered Cu α radiation, 40 kV, 50 mA) equipped with a D / tex Ultra 250 detector and optical CBO-E. The sample was rotated at 30 revolutions per minute during the measurement. The sample was scanned from 3 to 40° 2-theta using a step width of 0.01° and a scan rate of 0.1° / min. The powder sample was packed in a long glass capillary with an outer diameter of 0.9 mm.
[00111] The 2-theta values (in degrees) and relative peak intensities derived from the XRPD trace that characterize Form A are shown in Table 3 below: Table 3.

[00112] Relative intensity refers to the size of the integrated peak normalized to that of the largest peak with the categories defined as in Table 1. Results
[00113] The powder X-ray diffraction pattern shown in Figure 1 demonstrates that Form A of Compound (I) is highly crystalline. Example 3: Properties of reference form 1 and form A of compound (I) Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)
[00114] Thermal events were analyzed by standard-mode differential scanning calorimetry on a TA Discovery DSC instrument. Approximately 1.5 to 2.0 mg of material contained in a standard closed aluminum pan were measured over the temperature range of 25 °C to 300 °C at a constant heating rate of 10 °C / minute. Nitrogen was used as a purge gas at a flow rate of 50 mL / minute. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)
[00115] Weight loss was analyzed by standard thermogravimetric analysis on a TA Discovery TGA instrument. Approximately 3 to 5 mg Petition 870250081337, dated 10 / 09 / 2025, pages 53 / 64 45 / 47 of the material placed in a 100 μE platinum pan was heated to 300 °C from the instrument's ambient temperature at a constant heating rate of 10 °C / minute. Nitrogen was used as a purge gas at a flow rate of 25 mE / minute. Dynamic vapor solvation (DVS)
[00116] Approximately 5 to 10 mg of material were weighed into an aluminum sample pan and subjected to the following relative humidity profile using a Surface Measurement Systems DVS Resolution instrument: 40-90-0-90-0% relative humidity with 10% relative humidity steps and a dm / dt limit of 0.002% and a maximum step time limit of six hours. The temperature was maintained at approximately 25 °C throughout the process. Results
[00117] The results of the DSC and TGA experiments for Reference Form 1 and Compound Form (I) are shown in Figures 2 and 3, respectively. The results of the DVS experiments for Reference Form 1 and Compound Form (I) are shown in Figures 4 and 5, respectively.
[00118] Thermal analysis of Reference Example 1 by DSC shows a broad endotherm indicative of desolvation followed by a single melting endotherm (melting peak: endothermic, onset 164.08 °C, peak 168.52 °C, enthalpy 44.746 J / g) (Figure 2). A single melting endotherm for Form A of Compound (I) was observed (melting peak: endothermic, onset 216.63 °C, peak 217.70 °C, enthalpy 122.48 J / g) (Figure 3).
[00119] The TGA of Reference Form 1 shows a weight loss of 1.617% at 100 °C due to desolvation, indicating an initial hydrated form (Figure 2). TGA of Compound Form (I) showed no significant weight loss before the melting point, indicating an anhydrous form (Figure 3). Petition 870250081337, dated 10 / 09 / 2025, pp. 54 / 64 46 / 47
[00120] DVS analysis shows that Reference Form 1 undergoes reversible hydration from hemihydrate to monohydrate at high relative humidity and reversible dehydration from hemihydrate to anhydrate at low relative humidity (Figure 4). DVS analysis also reveals that Reference Form 1 has a moisture absorption of 3.37% at 80% relative humidity (Figure 4).
[00121] In contrast, Compound Form A (I) has very low hygroscopicity, with moisture absorption from 0.50% to 80% relative humidity (Figure 5).
[00122] Therefore, the results show that Form A of Compound (I) exhibits high thermal stability, is not solvated, and has low hygroscopicity. Example 4: Solubility of reference form 1 and form A of compound ω
[00123] The results of the preliminary solubility test of the Reference Form (I) and Form A of Compound (I) over 24 hours at 37 °C are shown in Table 4. Table 4, Solubility in biorelevant media of Form A of Compound (I) and of Reference Form 1.______________________________________________ Solubility (μM) Medium Compound Form A (I) Reference Form 1 SGF 21152* 42704* FaSSIFv2 1161 747 FaSSIF blank 369 250 FeSSIF 1376 830 FeSSIF blank 649 659 * Unsaturated samples; SGF (simulated gastric fluid) = simulated gastric fluid; FaSSIF (fasted state simulated intestinal fluid) = fasted state simulated intestinal fluid; FeSSIF (fed state simulated intestinal fluid) = fed state simulated intestinal fluid Results
[00124] The results show that Form A of Compound (I) is more soluble than Reference Form 1 in a variety of media. Petition 870250081337, dated 10 / 09 / 2025, pages 55 / 64 47 / 47 biorelevant (Table 4). The solubility test in SGF was inconclusive, as both samples were unsaturated. Example 5: Physical stability of form A of compound (I)
[00125] The physical stability of Compound (I) Form A was evaluated by an aqueous fluid paste method. Approximately 15 mg of Compound (I) Form A were weighed into a flask and 250 µL of water were added. This was stirred using a magnetic stir bar at room temperature for 10 days, then filtered using a 0.45 µm centrifuge filter (13,000 rpm for 5 minutes) and analyzed by XRPD, which showed no shape change in the Compound (I) Form A material, indicating that Compound (I) Form A appears to be physically stable. Conclusions
[00126] The results of the above experiments demonstrate that Compound (I) Form A is a distinct crystalline form that is more thermally stable than Reference Form 1. Compound (I) Form A is anhydrous, unlike Reference Form 1, which exhibits variable (de)hydration due to its sensitivity to temperature and / or humidity. Compound (I) Form A is less hygroscopic than Reference Form 1, and preliminary solubility data suggest that Compound (I) Form A is more soluble than Reference Form 1 in a variety of biorelevant media. Compound (I) Form A also appears to be physically stable.
