TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical chemistry, and particularly relates to a crystal form of dasatinib fumarate and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Dasatinib, trade name Sprycel, is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor developed by Schering-Plough Corporation. The chemical name is: N-(2-chloro-6-methylphenyl)-2-[[6-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazinyl]-2-methyl-4-pyrimidinyl]amino]-5-thiazolecarboxamide, the molecular formula is C 22 H 26 ClN7O2S, the molecular weight is 488.00600, and the chemical structural formula is as follows:
[0003] Dasatinib is mainly used for treating all stages of chronic myeloid leukemia in adult patients who are resistant to or cannot tolerate treatment programs including imatinib mesylate. It can also be used for treating adult patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia who are resistant to or cannot tolerate previous treatment drugs.
[0004] Patent WO2005077945 describes five crystal forms of dasatinib, including monohydrate, butanol solvate, ethanol solvate, pure form N-6 and pure form T1H1-7. Patent WO2007035874 discloses the crystalline forms of various salts (such as methanesulfonate, hydrobromide, salicylate, etc.) of dasatinib. Patent WO2009053854 discloses various crystal forms of dasatinib (including isopropanol solvate, isopropanol-dimethyl sulfoxide solvate, methanol solvate, etc.). Patent WO2019209908 discloses the butyl p-hydroxybenzoate co-crystal, propyl p-hydroxybenzoate co-crystal, ethyl vanillin co-crystal, formic acid ethyl ester solvate of dasatinib. Patent WO2018134190 discloses the co-crystals of phenolic compounds of dasatinib and resorcinol, vanillyl alcohol, 4-ethoxyphenol, carvacrol and p-cresol, but there are still problems of poor solubility or poor solubility or poor stability of dasatinib.

In view of the pharmaceutical value of dasatinib, although various crystal forms have been reported, there is still an urgent need for a dasatinib compound crystal with excellent physicochemical properties, stable properties and easy industrial production. The present application provides a simple and easy-to-operate method for preparing high-purity dasatinib fumarate crystal form, and provides a product with good chemical stability and solubility, which provides a better basis for the application of dasatinib in drug treatment, so as to more efficiently exert the pharmaceutical value of dasatinib.
