Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] 1. CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority to U.S. Application No. 62 / 935,007, filed November 13, 2019, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0002] 2.Technical Field Disclosed herein are crystalline forms of CC chemokine receptor type 4 (CCR4) antagonists, and methods of making and using them. These compounds can be used as therapeutic agents in the treatment of certain diseases and disorders, including, for example, cancer. [Background technology]
[0003] 3.Background technology Generally, crystalline forms of drugs are preferred over amorphous forms of drugs, in part due to their superior stability. For example, in many situations, amorphous drugs convert to crystalline drug forms during storage. Because amorphous and crystalline forms of drugs typically have different physical / chemical properties, potency, and / or bioavailability, such interconversion is undesirable for safety reasons in pharmaceutical administration.
[0004] An important characteristic of crystalline drug substances is the polymorphic behavior of such substances. Polymorphs are crystals of the same molecule that have different physical properties because the crystal lattice contains different molecular arrangements. The different physical properties exhibited by polymorphs affect important pharmaceutical parameters such as storage, stability, compressibility, density (important in formulation and product manufacturing), and dissolution rate (important in determining bioavailability). Differences in stability can result from changes in chemical reactivity (e.g., differential hydrolysis or oxidation, such that a dosage form composed of one polymorph discolors more quickly than one composed of another), mechanical changes (e.g., tablets crumble upon storage because a kinetically favored crystalline form converts to a thermodynamically more stable crystalline form), or both (e.g., tablets of one polymorph are more susceptible to degradation at high humidity). Differences in solubility between polymorphs can, in extreme circumstances, result in transition to an ineffective or toxic crystalline form. In addition, the physical properties of crystalline forms can be important in pharmaceutical processing. For example, certain crystalline forms may form solvates more readily or be more difficult to filter to remove impurities than other forms (i.e., particle shape and size distribution may differ between one crystalline form and another).
[0005] Agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration strictly regulate the polymorphic content of active ingredients in solid dosage forms of drugs. Regulatory agencies generally require batch-by-batch monitoring of polymorphic drugs when other than the pure, thermodynamically preferred polymorph is sold. Therefore, medical and commercial reasons support the synthesis and sale of solid drugs as thermodynamically stable polymorphs that are substantially free of kinetically favored polymorphs. The present application addresses these and other needs in the art. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0017] 6. MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION 6.1 Definition As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle" refers to a diluent, adjuvant, excipient, or carrier with which 2-((R)-3-(1-(1-((R)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)ethyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrazin-6-yl)azetidin-3-yl)piperidin-1-yl)ethan-1-ol benzenesulfonate can be administered to a patient in need thereof.
[0018] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" is intended to include salts of compounds prepared using relatively non-toxic acids or bases, depending on the particular substituents found in the compound. The crystalline compounds described herein are besylate salts. When a compound contains a relatively acidic functional group, a base addition salt can be obtained by contacting the neutral form of such a compound with a sufficient amount of the desired base, either neat or in a suitable inert solvent. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts include sodium, potassium, calcium, ammonium, organic amino, or magnesium salts, or similar salts. When a compound contains a relatively basic functional group, an acid addition salt can be obtained by contacting the neutral form of such a compound with a sufficient amount of the desired acid, either neat or in a suitable inert solvent. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include salts derived from inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, nitric acid, carbonic acid, monohydrogencarbonic acid, phosphoric acid, monohydrogenphosphate, dihydrogenphosphate, sulfuric acid, monohydrogensulfuric acid, hydroiodic acid, or phosphorous acid, as well as salts derived from relatively non-toxic organic acids such as acetic acid, propionic acid, isobutyric acid, maleic acid, malonic acid, benzoic acid, succinic acid, suberic acid, fumaric acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid, phthalic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-tolylsulfonic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, oxalic acid, methanesulfonic acid, etc. Also included are amino acid salts such as arginate salts, and organic acid salts such as glucuronic acid or galacturonic acid (see, e.g., Berge et al., "Pharmaceutical Salts," Journal of Pharmaceutical Science, 1977, 66, 1-19). Certain compounds may contain both basic and acidic functionalities that allow the compounds to be converted into either base or acid addition salts.
[0019] As used herein, the terms "CC chemokine receptor type 4" and "CCR4" refer to the protein (including homologs, isoforms, and functional fragments thereof) and are high-affinity receptors for CC-type chemokines (e.g., CCL2 (MCP-1), CCL4 (MIP-1), CCL5 (RANTES), CCL17 (TARC), and CCL22 (MDC)). It is referred to by several different names in the scientific literature, including "CC-CKR-4," "CC CKR-4," "K5-5," "CD194," "CMKBR4," "ChemR13," "HGCN," and "14099." The terms include any recombinant or naturally occurring form of CCR4 or a variant thereof that maintains CCR4 activity (e.g., within at least 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, or 100% activity compared to wild-type CCR4). The term includes any mutant form of CCR4 or variants thereof (e.g., frameshift mutations) that maintain CCR4 activity (e.g., within the range of at least 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, or 100% activity compared to wild-type CCR4). In embodiments, the CCR4 protein encoded by the CCR4 gene has an amino acid sequence set forth in or corresponding to Entrez 1233, UniProt P51679, or RefSeq (protein) NP_005499.1. In embodiments, the CCR4 gene has a nucleic acid sequence set forth in RefSeq (mRNA) NM_005508. In embodiments, the amino acid sequence or nucleic acid sequence is a sequence known at the time of filing of this application. In embodiments, the sequence corresponds to GI:5031627. In embodiments, the sequence corresponds to NP_005499.1. In embodiments, the sequence corresponds to NM_005508.4. In embodiments, this sequence corresponds to GI:48762930. In embodiments, the CCR4 is human CCR4, such as in human cancers that produce CCR4. Although frequently found on dendritic cells, macrophages, NK cells, platelets, and basophils, CCR4 is primarily associated with T cells.It plays a role in the progression of multiple inflammation-related disorders and, as described herein, is also involved in several other conditions. The genomic sequence of CCR4 is located on chromosome 3 (NC_000003.12), and the CCR4 gene is conserved in several species, including chimpanzees, rhesus monkeys, dogs, cattle, mice, rats, chickens, and zebrafish. The CCR4 polypeptide contains 360 amino acid residues (NP_005499.1), and like other chemokine receptors, CCR4 is a G protein-coupled receptor found on the surface of leukocytes (see Horuk (1994) Trends Pharm. Sci. 15:159-165).
[0020] As used herein, "CCR4 inhibitor" refers to a compound (e.g., a compound described herein) that reduces the activity of CCR4 compared to a control, such as no compound or a compound with known inactivity.
[0021] As used herein, the terms "activation," "activate," "activating," and the like, with respect to proteins, refer to converting a protein from an initial, inactive, or inactivated state to a biologically active derivative. These terms refer to activating, or activating, sensitizing, or upregulating signal transduction or enzymatic activity or the amount of a protein that is decreased in a disease.
[0022] As used herein, the terms "agonist," "activator," "up-regulator," and the like refer to a substance capable of detectably increasing the expression or activity of a given gene or protein. An agonist can increase expression or activity by 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% or more compared to a control in the absence of the agonist. In certain instances, expression or activity is 1.5-fold, 2-fold, 3-fold, 4-fold, 5-fold, 10-fold or more higher than expression or activity in the absence of the agonist. In embodiments, an agonist is a molecule that interacts with a target to cause or promote increased activation of the target. In embodiments, an activator is a molecule that increases, activates, promotes, enhances activation, sensitizes, or up-regulates, for example, a gene, protein, ligand, receptor, or cell.
[0023] As used herein, the terms "inhibition," "inhibit," "inhibiting," and the like, with respect to a protein-inhibitor interaction, refer to adversely affecting (e.g., decreasing) the activity or function of a protein compared to the activity or function of the protein in the absence of the inhibitor. In embodiments, inhibition refers to negatively affecting (e.g., decreasing) the concentration or level of a protein compared to the concentration or level of the protein in the absence of the inhibitor. In embodiments, inhibition refers to the alleviation of a disease or disease symptom. In embodiments, inhibition refers to the reduction of the activity of a specific protein target. Thus, inhibition includes at least partially or completely blocking a stimulus, reducing, preventing, or delaying activation of signaling or enzymatic activity or the amount of a protein, or inactivating, desensitizing, or downregulating. In embodiments, inhibition refers to the reduction of the activity of a target protein due to a direct interaction (e.g., an inhibitor binds to the target protein). In embodiments, inhibition refers to the reduction of the activity of a target protein due to an indirect interaction (e.g., an inhibitor binds to a protein that activates the target protein, thereby preventing activation of the target protein).
[0024] As used herein, the terms "inhibitor," "suppressor," "antagonist," or "down-regulator" refer interchangeably to a substance capable of detectably reducing the expression or activity of a given gene or protein. An antagonist can reduce expression or activity by 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% or more compared to a control in the absence of the antagonist. In certain instances, expression or activity is 1.5-fold, 2-fold, 3-fold, 4-fold, 5-fold, 10-fold or more lower than the expression or activity in the absence of the antagonist. An antagonist prevents, reduces, inhibits, or neutralizes the activity of an agonist, and an antagonist can also prevent, inhibit, or reduce the constitutive activity of a target, such as a target receptor, even in the absence of a recognized agonist. In embodiments, an inhibitor is a molecule that decreases, blocks, prevents, delays activation, inactivates, desensitizes, or downregulates, for example, a gene, protein, ligand, receptor, or cell. An inhibitor may also be defined as a molecule that reduces, blocks, or inactivates constitutive activity. An "antagonist" is a molecule that opposes the action of an agonist.
[0025] As used herein, the term "disease" or "condition" refers to an existing state or state of health of a patient or subject that can be treated with the compounds or methods provided herein. The disease can be cancer. The disease can be an autoimmune disease. The disease can be an inflammatory disease. The disease can be an infectious disease.

[0026] As used herein, the term "inflammatory disease" refers to a disease or condition characterized by abnormal inflammation (e.g., increased levels of inflammation compared to a control, such as a healthy individual without the disease). Examples of inflammatory diseases include autoimmune diseases, arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), myasthenia gravis, juvenile-onset diabetes, type 1 diabetes mellitus, Guillain-Barré syndrome, Hashimoto's encephalopathy, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriasis, Sjogren's syndrome, vasculitis, glomerulonephritis, autoimmune thyroiditis, Behcet's disease, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis.

Such conditions are often closely intertwined with other diseases, disorders, and conditions. For example, a non-limiting list of inflammation-related diseases, disorders, and conditions that may be caused by inflammatory cytokines includes arthritis, renal failure, lupus, asthma, psoriasis, colitis, pancreatitis, allergy, fibrosis, surgical complications (for example, when inflammatory cytokines interfere with healing), anemia, and fibromyalgia. Other diseases and disorders that may be associated with chronic inflammation include Alzheimer's disease, congestive heart failure, stroke, aortic stenosis, arteriosclerosis, osteoporosis, Parkinson's disease, infectious diseases, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), allergic contact dermatitis and other eczema, systemic sclerosis, transplantation and multiple sclerosis.Some of the aforementioned diseases, disorders and conditions that the compound of the present invention (for example, CCR4 inhibitor) can be particularly effective (for example, due to the limitations of current treatment) are described in more detail below.

[0029] As used herein, the term "treating" or "treatment" refers to an indication of success in treating or ameliorating an injury, disease, condition, or state, and includes any objective or subjective parameter, such as remission, remission, alleviating symptoms, or making the injury, disease, or state more tolerable to the patient, slowing the rate of degeneration or decline; making the end point of degeneration less debilitating; or improving the patient's physical or mental health. The treatment or amelioration of symptoms can be based on objective or subjective parameters, including the results of a physical examination, neuropsychiatric testing, and / or psychiatric evaluation. The term "treating" and its conjugations can include prevention of an injury, disease, condition, or disease. In embodiments, treating is preventing. In embodiments, treating does not include preventing.
[0030] As used herein (and as is well understood in the art), "treating" or "treatment" broadly encompasses any approach to achieving beneficial or desired results in a subject's condition, including clinical outcomes. Beneficial or desired clinical outcomes may include, but are not limited to, alleviation or amelioration of one or more symptoms or conditions, whether partial or complete, detectable or undetectable, reduction in the extent of disease, stabilization of disease conditions (i.e., not worsening), prevention of disease infection or spread, delay or slowing of disease progression, improvement or relief of disease conditions, reduction in disease recurrence, and remission. In other words, "treatment" as used herein includes any cure, amelioration, or prevention of disease. Treatment may prevent disease from developing, inhibit the spread of disease, relieve symptoms of disease (e.g., eye pain, seeing halos around lights, bloodshot eyes, high intraocular pressure), completely or partially eliminate the underlying cause of disease, shorten the duration of disease, or a combination thereof.
[0031] As used herein, "treating" and "treatment" include preventive treatment. The treatment method includes administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound described herein to a subject. The administration step can consist of a single administration or can include a series of administrations. The length of the treatment period depends on various factors, such as the severity of the condition, the age of the patient, the concentration of the compound, the activity of the composition used for treatment, or a combination thereof. It will also be understood that the effective dosage of the agent used for treatment or prevention can increase or decrease during a specific treatment or prevention plan. Changes in dosage can be made and become evident by standard diagnostic assays known in the art. In some cases, chronic administration may be required. For example, the composition is administered to the subject in an amount and for a duration sufficient to treat the patient.
[0032] As used herein, the term "preventing" refers to a reduction in the occurrence of disease symptoms in a patient. As noted above, prevention can be complete (no detectable symptoms) or partial, such that fewer symptoms are observed than would likely develop without treatment. In embodiments, prevention refers to slowing or inhibiting the progression of a disease, disorder, or condition to an adverse or otherwise undesirable state.
[0033] As used herein, the term "modulator" refers to a composition that increases or decreases the level of a target molecule, the function of a target molecule, or the physical state of a molecular target. In embodiments, a CCR4-associated disease modulator is a compound that reduces the severity of one or more symptoms of a disease associated with CCR4 (e.g., cancer, inflammatory disease, autoimmune disease, or infectious disease). A CCR4 modulator is a compound that increases or decreases the activity or function or level of activity or function of CCR4. Modulators may act alone or may use cofactors, such as proteins, metal ions, or small molecules. Examples of modulators include small molecule compounds and other bioorganic molecules. Numerous libraries of small molecule compounds (e.g., combinatorial libraries) are commercially available and serve as a starting point for identifying modulators. One skilled in the art can develop one or more assays (e.g., biochemical or cell-based assays) that can screen such compound libraries to identify one or more compounds with desired properties, and a skilled medicinal chemist can then optimize such one or more compounds, for example, by synthesizing and evaluating analogs and derivatives thereof. Synthesis and / or molecular modeling studies can also be used to identify activators.
[0034] The term "modulate" is used according to its plain and ordinary meaning and refers to the act of changing or varying one or more properties. "Modulation" refers to the process of changing or varying one or more properties. For example, as applied to the effect of a modulator on a target protein, modulating means changing by increasing or decreasing the property or function of the target molecule or the amount of the target molecule. In embodiments, terms such as "modulate," "modulation," and the like refer to the ability of a molecule (e.g., an activator or inhibitor) to increase or decrease, either directly or indirectly, the function or activity of CCR4 compared to the absence of the molecule.
[0035] A "patient" or "subject in need of treatment" refers to an organism suffering from or susceptible to a disease or condition that can be treated by administration of a pharmaceutical composition as provided herein. Non-limiting examples include humans, other mammals, cows, rats, mice, dogs, monkeys, goats, sheep, cattle, deer, and other non-mammals. In an embodiment, the patient is a human. The terms "human" and "patient" are used interchangeably herein.
[0036] As used herein, the term "effective amount" refers to an amount of a compound sufficient to achieve its stated purpose (e.g., achieve the effect for which the compound is administered, treat a disease, reduce enzyme activity, increase enzyme activity, reduce a signal transduction pathway, or reduce one or more symptoms of a disease or condition) compared to the absence of the compound. An example of an "effective amount" is an amount sufficient to contribute to the treatment, prevention, or reduction of a symptom of a disease, which may also be referred to as a "therapeutically effective amount." "Reduction" of a symptom (and grammatical equivalents of this phrase) refers to a decrease in the severity or frequency of the symptom, or the elimination of the symptom. A "prophylactically effective amount" of a drug is an amount of a drug that, when administered to a subject, will have its intended preventative effect, for example, an amount of a drug that prevents or delays the onset (or recurrence) of an injury, disease, pathology, or condition, or reduces the likelihood of the onset (or recurrence) of an injury, disease, pathology, or condition, or a symptom thereof. A complete preventative effect does not necessarily occur by administration of a single dose, but may occur only after administration of a series of doses. Thus, a prophylactically effective amount may be administered in one or more administrations. As used herein, "activity-reducing amount" refers to the amount of antagonist required to reduce the activity of an enzyme compared to the absence of antagonist. As used herein, "function-disrupting amount" refers to the amount of antagonist required to disrupt the function of an enzyme or protein compared to the absence of antagonist. The exact amount depends on the purpose of treatment and can be determined by those skilled in the art using known techniques (see, for example, Lieberman, Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms (vols. 1-3, 1992); Lloyd, The Art, Science and Technology of Pharmaceutical Compounding (1999); Pickar, Dosage Calculations (1999); and Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 20th Edition, 2003, Gennaro, Ed., Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins).A therapeutically effective amount can be ascertained by measuring relevant physiological effects and can be adjusted in conjunction with dosing regimens, diagnostic analyses of a subject's condition, etc. By way of example, measuring serum levels of a CCR4 inhibitor (or, e.g., a metabolite thereof) at particular times after administration can indicate whether a therapeutically effective amount has been administered.
[0037] For any compound described herein, the therapeutically effective amount can be initially determined from cell culture assays. The target concentration will be the concentration of active compound that is capable of achieving the methods described herein, as measured using methods described herein or known in the art.
[0038] As is well known in the art, therapeutically effective amounts for use in humans can also be determined from animal models. For example, human doses can be formulated to achieve concentrations found to be effective in animals. Human dosages can be adjusted by monitoring the efficacy of the compound and adjusting the dosage upward or downward, as described above. Adjusting dosages to achieve maximum efficacy in humans based on the above and other methods is well within the capabilities of one skilled in the art. Adjusting dosages to achieve maximum therapeutic window efficacy or toxicity in humans based on the above and other methods is well within the capabilities of one skilled in the art.
[0039] The term "therapeutically effective amount" as used herein refers to an amount of a therapeutic agent sufficient to improve a disorder, as described above. For example, for a given parameter, a therapeutically effective amount may exhibit an increase or decrease of at least 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 75%, 80%, 90%, or at least 100%. Therapeutic effectiveness may also be expressed as a "-fold" increase or decrease. For example, a therapeutically effective amount may be at least 1.2-fold, 1.5-fold, 2-fold, 5-fold, or more effective than a control.
[0040] Dosage may vary depending on the patient's requirements and the compound used. In the context of the present invention, the dosage administered to a patient must be sufficient to induce a beneficial therapeutic response in the patient over time. The size of the dose will also be determined by the existence, nature, and extent of any adverse side effects. Determining the appropriate dosage for a particular situation is within the capabilities of those skilled in the art. Generally, treatment is initiated with a lower dosage that is less than the optimal dose of the compound. Thereafter, the dosage is gradually increased until the optimal effect is reached under the circumstances. Dosage amount and interval can be individually adjusted to provide an effective level of the administered compound for the specific clinical indication being treated. This provides a treatment regimen that is appropriate for the severity of the individual's condition.
[0041] As used herein, the term "administering" refers to oral administration, administration as a suppository, topical contact, intravenous, parenteral, intraperitoneal, intramuscular, intralesional, intrathecal, intracranial, intranasal, or subcutaneous administration to a subject, or implantation of a sustained-release device, such as a mini-osmotic pump. Administration can be by any route, including parenteral and transmucosal (e.g., buccal, sublingual, palatal, gingival, nasal, vaginal, rectal, or transdermal). Parenteral administration includes, for example, intravenous, intramuscular, intraarteriolar, intradermal, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, intraventricular, and intracranial administration. Other delivery modes include, but are not limited to, the use of liposomal formulations, intravenous infusion, transdermal patches, and the like. "Coadministration" means that the compositions described herein are administered simultaneously with, immediately before, or immediately after the administration of one or more additional therapies (e.g., anti-cancer agents, chemotherapeutic agents, or treatments for neurodegenerative diseases). The compounds of the present invention can be administered alone or co-administered to a patient. Coadministration is intended to include simultaneous or sequential administration of compounds, individually or in combination (two or more compounds or agents). Thus, preparations can be combined with other active substances, if desired (e.g., to reduce metabolic degradation). The compositions of the present invention can be delivered transdermally or topically, and can be formulated as applicator sticks, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, gels, creams, ointments, nanoparticles, pastes, jellies, liniments, powders, and aerosols. Oral preparations include tablets, pills, powders, dragees, capsules, liquids, lozenges, cachets, gels, syrups, slurries, suspensions, and the like, suitable for ingestion by the patient. Solid preparations include powders, tablets, pills, capsules, cachets, suppositories, and dispersible granules. Liquid form preparations include solutions, suspensions, and emulsions, such as water or water / propylene glycol solutions. The compositions of the present invention can further include components for sustained release and / or comfort. Such components include high molecular weight anionic mucomimetic polymers, gelling polysaccharides, and finely divided drug carrier matrices.These components are discussed in further detail in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,911,920, 5,403,841, 5,212,162, and 4,861,760, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety for all purposes. The compositions of the present invention can also be delivered as microspheres for sustained release in the body. For example, the microspheres can be administered via intradermal injection of drug-containing microspheres that slowly release subcutaneously (see Rao, J. Biomater Sci. Polym. Ed. 7:623-645, 1995), as biodegradable and injectable gel formulations (see, e.g., Gao, Pharm. Res. 12:857-863, 1995), or as microspheres for oral administration (see, e.g., Eyles, J. Pharm. Pharmacol. 49:669-674, 1997). In another embodiment, formulations of the compositions of the present invention can be delivered by the use of liposomes that fuse with or are endocytosed by cell membranes, i.e., by using receptor ligands attached to the liposomes that bind to surface membrane protein receptors of the cell, triggering endocytosis. In particular, liposome surfaces are specifically targeted to target cells. Liposomes can be used to focus delivery of the compositions of the invention to target cells in vivo if they carry specific receptor ligands or are otherwise preferentially directed to a particular organ. (See, e.g., Al-Muhammed, J. Microencapsul. 13:293-306, 1996; Chonn, Curr. Opin. Biotechnol. 6:698-708, 1995; Ostro, Am. J. Hosp. Pharm. 46:1576-1587, 1989.) The compositions of the invention can also be delivered as nanoparticles.
[0042] "Co-administered" means that the compositions described herein are administered simultaneously with, immediately before, or immediately after the administration of one or more additional therapeutic agents. The compounds of the present invention can be administered alone or simultaneously to a patient. For example, the compounds of the present invention can be co-administered with an anti-cancer agent in the treatment of cancer. Co-administration is intended to include simultaneous or sequential administration of the compounds, individually or in combination (two or more compounds). The compositions of the present invention can be delivered transdermally by topical routes or formulated as applicator sticks, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, gels, creams, ointments, pastes, jellies, liniments, powders, and aerosols.
[0043] As used herein, "anti-cancer agent" refers to a composition (e.g., a compound, drug, antagonist, inhibitor, modulator) that has anti-neoplastic properties or the ability to inhibit cell growth or proliferation. In embodiments, the anti-cancer agent is a chemotherapeutic agent. In embodiments, the anti-cancer agent is an agent identified herein that is useful in methods of treating cancer. In embodiments, the anti-cancer agent is an agent approved by the FDA or a similar regulatory agency in a country other than the United States to treat cancer. In embodiments, the anticancer agent is a MEK (e.g., MEK1, MEK2, or MEK1 and MEK2) inhibitor (e.g., XL518, CI-1040, PD035901, selumetinib / AZD6244, GSK1120212 / trametinib, GDC-0973, ARRY-162,

No. 10,179,787. A crystalline solid form could not be produced from this free base form. Initial attempts to form the HCl salt of 2-((R)-3-(1-(1-((R)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)ethyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrazin-6-yl)azetidin-3-yl)piperidin-1-yl)ethan-1-ol also failed to produce a crystalline solid.
[0122] Several different salts of 2-((R)-3-(1-(1-((R)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)ethyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrazin-6-yl)azetidin-3-yl)piperidin-1-yl)ethan-1-ol were made using other acids. Salt formation experiments were performed and evaluated using 14 different acids and 13 different solvents, either alone or in several combinations, as listed in Table 1 below. [Table 1]
[0123] This study revealed that only two acids produced consistent solid forms. The paratoluenesulfonate salt yielded a stable, crystalline salt with a single polymorph and a melting point of 220°C. This highly crystalline form was less soluble than the amorphous HCl salt. The low solubility of the paratoluenesulfonate salt may inhibit drug dissolution and prevent adequate intestinal absorption. At pH 2, the dynamic solubility of the paratoluenesulfonate salt was only one-fifth that of the HCl salt. The bioavailability of this salt in rats was less than half that observed for the amorphous HCl salt. Low solubility and low bioavailability are undesirable properties for a pharmaceutical product.
[0124] The benzenesulfonate salt of 2-((R)-3-(1-(1-((R)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)ethyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrazin-6-yl)azetidin-3-yl)piperidin-1-yl)ethan-1-ol was isolated, and two crystalline polymorphs were observed depending on the crystallization conditions. The higher melting polymorph (170 °C) was obtained by using a mixture of methyl t-butyl ether and ethanol and could be consistently isolated on a production scale. The higher melting point of this polymorph is advantageous because it facilitates manufacturing at high temperatures. This polymorph showed lower hygroscopicity and higher solubility (411 μM) than the para-turnenesulfonate salt (190 μM) in water at pH 2. The bioavailability of the benzenesulfonate salt in rats was greater than that observed with the paratoluenesulfonate salt of 2-((R)-3-(1-(1-((R)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)ethyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrazin-6-yl)azetidin-3-yl)piperidin-1-yl)ethan-1-ol (34% vs. 22%). Furthermore, the benzenesulfonate salt of 2-((R)-3-(1-(1-((R)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)ethyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrazin-6-yl)azetidin-3-yl)piperidin-1-yl)ethan-1-ol demonstrated excellent stability after 36 months of storage at room temperature. This unexpected combination of reproducible formation, low hygroscopicity, high solubility, bioavailability, and high stability on long-term storage distinguishes this polymorph of 2-((R)-3-(1-(1-((R)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)ethyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrazin-6-yl)azetidin-3-yl)piperidin-1-yl)ethan-1-ol benzenesulfonate and makes it ideal for pharmaceutical development.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that many modifications, both to materials and methods, can be practiced without departing from the scope of the invention.

The mixture was first heated to 75° C. and then further heated to 81° C. to obtain a clear solution. Next, 45 ml of methyl ethyl ketone (counter-solvent) was added to the solution. The solution was cooled to 50° C. and then stirred for 30 minutes. The solution remained clear with no signs of solid crystal formation. A sample of the solution was removed and stirred in a small vial to produce a precipitate. A slurry sample was returned to the original flask and seeded, but the solids in the slurry dissolved.
[0133] The solution was then cooled to 35°C and then seeded at 50°C in the same manner as above, resulting in a slurry from which solid crystals formed. The slurry was stirred at 35°C for 1 hour and then allowed to cool to ambient temperature. The solids were isolated by filtration, rinsed with methyl ethyl ketone (2 x 5 ml), and then dried under vacuum at 50°C until their weight was constant, yielding 4.4 g of a white crystalline solid (crystal form B).
