[0089] Each crystal can also be produced by adding the crystal of interest as a seed crystal to a specific solvent. This specific solvent can be the same solvent used to obtain the crystals described above.
[0090] (Activities and uses) A crystal of Compound (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention has an excellent EGFR inhibitory activity. In particular, it has an excellent inhibitory activity against EGFR (Del19 / C797S), EGFR (L858R / C797S), EGFR (Del19 / T790M / C797S), and EGFR (L858R / T790M / C797S), and is useful as an antitumor agent. In addition, a crystal of Compound (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention has excellent selectivity for mutant EGFR and has the advantage of fewer side effects than those caused by wild-type EGFR and other kinases.
[0091] Herein, “wild-type EGFR” is represented, for example, by the amino acid sequence of GenBank accession number: NP 005219.2. “Exon 19” herein refers to the region 729-823 in the amino acid sequence of wild-type EGFR (e.g., GenBank accession number: NP 005219.2).
[0092] Herein, “Del19” refers to a mutation in which one or more amino acids are deleted in the exon 19 region of wild-type EGFR. Mutations including, in addition to the deletion in the region, insertion of any one or more amino acids are also included. The mutation of deletion in exon 19 include a mutation in which five amino acids spanning from glutamic acid at position 746 to alanine 750 at position 750 in the exon 19 region are deleted (Del E746-A750 (also referred to as d746-750)), a mutation in which deletion of seven amino acids spanning from leucine at position 747 to proline at position 753 in the exon 19 region is followed by insertion of serine (Del L747-P753insS), a mutation in which five amino acids spanning from leucine at position 747 to threonine at position 751 in the exon 19 region are deleted (Del L747-T751), and a mutation in which deletion of four amino acids spanning from leucine at position 747 to alanine at position 750 in the exon 19 region is followed by insertion of proline (Del L747-A750insP), etc. Preferably, it may be a mutation in which five amino acids spanning from glutamic acid at position 746 to alanine at position 750 in the exon 19 region are deleted (Del E746-A750).
[0093] The crystal of the present invention may be used in postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy that is given after surgical resection of a tumor to prevent recurrence, or in preoperative adjuvant chemotherapy given before surgical resection of a tumor.

[0122] Changes in the mass of the related substances (the amounts of detected substances other than Compound (1)) were analyzed by HPLC according to the following method. Approximately 8 mg of each sample was weighed and dissolved in 1 mL of a chloroform-methanol mixture (1:1 v / v). Fifty pL of this solution was measured and diluted with 950 pL of an acetonitrile-water mixture (7:3), and 5 pL of the resulting solution was accurately measured and used as the sample for the analysis. HPLC assay (stability test) The mass of the related substances in the sample solution was determined by HPLC analysis. The instrument, including data processing, was handled in accordance with the method and procedure indicated for each instrument. Column: InertSustainSwift C18 (2.1 x 50 mm, 1.9 pm) manufactured by GL Sciences UV detection: 220 nm Column temperature: 40°C Flow rate: 0.3 mL / min Sample cooler: 10°C Sample concentration: 0.1 mg / mL Mobile phase A: 10 mmol / L phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) / acetonitrile (95:5) mixture Mobile phase B: Acetonitrile The gradients are shown in Table 4.

[0123] As a result, the type II crystal of Compound (1) in free form, the type III crystal of Compound (1) in free form, and the type VII crystal of Compound (1) in free form were found to be extremely stable crystals with almost no increase in the related substances.
[0124] Test Example 2: Dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) test Vapor sorption tests were performed using the type II crystal of Compound (1) in free form, the type III crystal of Compound (1) in free form, the type VII crystal of Compound (1) in free form, and the type VIII crystal of Compound (1) in free form obtained in the examples, reference example, and comparative example. Vapor sorption tests were conducted under the following conditions. Approximately 10 mg of the sample was filled into a specialized quartz holder to continuously measure and record the weight of the sample at each humidity was under the following conditions. The instrument, including data processing, was handled in accordance with the method and procedure indicated for each instrument. Instrument: VTI-SA+ (manufactured by TA Instruments) Drying temperature: 60°C Heating rate: 1°C / min Equilibration of drying: Confirmation of no more than 0.01 wt% decrease in 5 minutes within a period not exceeding 300 minutes Measurement temperature: 25°C Equilibration of humidification: Confirmation of no more than 0.01 wt% increase in 5 minutes within a period not exceeding 120 minutes Relative humidity program: Increase from 5 to 95% RH in increments of 5% RH, and decrease from 95% to 5% RH in increments of 5% RH. Changes in the weight over the range of the measurement conditions obtained in these tests are shown in Figures 9 through 12.
[0125] As shown in the figures, the type II crystal of Compound (1) in free form showed a weight increase of 0.16% under 95% relative humidity in the vapor sorption test, and this weight increase of less than 1% indicates that it was hardly hygroscopic. The type III crystal of Compound (1) in free form showed hygroscopicity that sharply increased at above 65% RH, but this adsorption was found to be reversible since desorption of water occurred when the humidity was decreased. On the other hand, as shown in the figures, the type VII crystal in free form and the type VIII crystal in free form showed mass increases of 1% or more under 95% relative humidity in the vapor sorption test, indicating that they were highly hygroscopic. Furthermore, these crystals did not cause desorption of water even when the humidity was decreased, indicating that the reaction was irreversible.
[0126] The above results showed that the type II crystal of Compound (1) in free form had lower hygroscopicity than the type III crystal of Compound (1) in free form, the type VII crystal of Compound (1) in free form, and the type VIII crystal of Compound (1) in free form, and was superior in terms of industrial manufacturing of a pharmaceutical product of stable quality among the candidate compounds for the development of the pharmaceutical product. The type III crystal in free form was considered to be useful, like the type II crystal in free form, as a candidate compound for a pharmaceutical product in controlled humidity environment, because it has low hygroscopicity as long as RH is less than 65%. The type II crystal of Compound (1) in free form and the type III crystal of Compound (1) in free form were confirmed to have excellent properties as pharmaceutical products or active pharmaceutical ingredients.

[0141] The above results showed that the type III crystal of Compound (1) with succinic acid and the type I crystal of Compound (1) with sorbic acid had lower hygroscopicity than the type I crystal of Compound (1) with citric acid, the type IV crystal of Compound (1) with citric acid, and the type I crystal of Compound (1) with phosphoric acid, and were superior in terms of industrial manufacturing of a pharmaceutical product of stable quality among the candidate compounds for the development of the pharmaceutical product. The type III crystal of Compound (1) with succinic acid and the type I crystal of Compound (1) with sorbic acid were confirmed to have excellent properties as pharmaceutical products or active pharmaceutical ingredients.
[0142] Test Example 5: Plasma concentration determination test The Compound (1) in free form (type II crystal), the type III crystal of Compound (1) with one equivalent of succinic acid, and the type I crystal of Compound (1) with one equivalent of sorbic acid obtained in the examples were tested for plasma concentrations in male beagle dogs after oral administration under hypochlorhydria conditions.
[0143] (Selection of beagle dogs) In order to select three male beagle dogs for the test, plasma concentrations were determined in five male beagle dogs under hypochlorhydria conditions after administration in a solution form and administration in a capsule-filled form. Three dogs with larger differences in AUClast (area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 hours after administration to the point at which the final concentration can be calculated by the linear trapezoidal method before Tmax and by the log-trapezoidal method after Tmax) and Cmax (maximum plasma concentration) between the administration in the solution form and the administration in the capsule-filled form were selected. Subsequently, tests were conducted to determine plasma concentrations in them after oral administration of the Compound (1) in free form (type II crystal), the type III crystal of Compound (1) with one equivalent of succinic acid, and the type I crystal of Compound (1) with one equivalent of sorbic acid in capsule-filled forms. The following procedures were employed for the preparation of a liquid dosage, capsule filling, and animal experiments.
[0144] (Methods for preparation of liquid dosage, capsule filling, and animal experiments) Compound (1) in free form was dissolved in a 20% HP-P-CD solution containing 0.1N hydrochloric acid to prepare a solution of 20 mg / 5 mL. Compound (1) in free form (type II crystal), the type III crystal of Compound (1) with one equivalent of succinic acid, and the type I crystal of Compound (1) with one equivalent of sorbic acid were each filled into a gelatin capsule at 20 mg / kg in terms of the molecular weight of Compound (1) (free form). The male beagle dogs selected for the study were fasted starting between 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on the day before Compound (1) was administered and fed after blood was collected 8 hours after the administration of the compound. The dogs were not allowed to drink water from 30 minutes before to 2 hours after the administration of the compound, but were allowed to drink freely at other time. Intravenous administration of atropine (atropine sulfate injection 0.5 mg “Fuso”) at a dose of 0.02 mg / kg was followed by intramuscular administration of pentagastrin at a dose of 0.01 mg / kg 30 minutes prior to the administration of the compound. Thirty minutes after the administration of atropine, the dogs were orally force-fed a capsule filled with the compound, encouraged to self-swallow the capsule with 5 mL of distilled water, and further orally force-fed 50 mL of distilled water using a catheter. Alternatively, the compound dissolved in liquid dosage was administered orally via a catheter at a dose of 20 mg / 5 mL / kg, and the catheter was immediately rinsed with 10 mL of distilled water. Pentagastrin was again intramuscularly administered at 0.01 mg / kg 15 minutes and 1 hour after the administration of the compound. Before and after (0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 24 hours after) the administration, the person in charge of collecting blood held the dog’s forelimb to distend the blood vessel using a clothespin or the like. Then, the blood collection site was disinfected with alcohol cotton, and about 0.2 mL of blood was collected using a heparinized syringe and needle. After the blood was drawn, the puncture site was pressed with a cotton pad to adequately stop bleeding. The collected blood samples were ice-cooled, and plasma was isolated by centrifugation as soon as possible. The isolated plasma was immediately frozen on dry ice and then stored frozen in a freezer set at -80°C. AUClast, Cmax, and Tmax (time to reach maximum blood concentration) were calculated using Phoenix WinNonlin (v7.0.0, Certara USA, Inc.) from the concentration of Compound (1) in each plasma sample measured by MRM method and quantified from the calibration curve using LC / MS / MS.
[0145] The results are shown in Table 8. The type II crystal of Compound (1) in free form, the type III crystal of Compound (1) with succinic acid, and the type I crystal of Compound (1) with sorbic acid were assumed to be crystalline forms that can exert medicinal effects in vivo as well. These results confirmed that all of the crystalline forms were orally administrable.
