Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure belongs to the field of pharmaceutical chemistry, and particularly relates to a crystal form of a compound containing tricyclic heteroaryl, and a preparation method therefor and the use thereof. BACKGROUND ART
[0002] Janus kinase (JAK) is a non-transmembrane, non-receptor tyrosine kinase and comprises four subtypes: JAK1, JAK2, JAK3 and TYK2 (Tyrosine kinase 2). JAK inhibitors specifically inhibit the JAK-STAT (signal transducers and activators of transcription) signaling pathway, thereby blocking the cascade amplification of the above cytokines and participating in processes such as immune regulation.
[0003] Spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase found in the cytoplasm. SYK is widely expressed in hematopoietic cells, lymphocytes, fibroblasts, and vascular endothelial cells, is highly expressed in B lymphocytes, and plays an important role in tumors and autoimmune diseases. The SYK gene can inhibit the proliferation and migration of malignant tumor cells, such as breast cancer cells, melanoma cells, and liver cancer cells. Currently, SYK inhibitors have been used in clinical phase II / III trials for rheumatoid arthritis, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and other conditions. Recent studies have shown that using SYK inhibitors or interfering with the SYK gene expression can effectively slow the progression of liver fibrosis / cirrhosis, demonstrating good therapeutic effects (see CN 105664178 A).
[0004] Compound I is a highly selective dual-target inhibitor of JAK kinase and SYK kinase, as disclosed in CN 110734454 A, with the structural formula as shown in formula I below:

[0055] 3 g of crude compound I was added to a reaction flask, and 500 mL of acetone and 100 mL of ethyl acetate were added. The mixture was heated to 50°C for dissolution, and stirred at the same temperature for 10 min for crystallization, and then the resulting mixture was cooled to 4°C and stirred for 3 h for crystallization to obtain a white crystal (2.55 g, HPLC purity: 99.87%). X-ray powder diffraction testing of the sample was performed. The results reveal that the sample is crystal form I, the corresponding pattern is shown in FIG. 1, and the data results are shown in Table 1. TGA testing of the sample was performed.

The results showed that: the average weight gain of the crystal form I sample was 0.8%, indicating slight hygroscopicity; the average weight gain of the crystal form II sample was 47.9%, indicating significant hygroscopicity; the average weight gain of the amorphous sample was 3.0%, indicating hygroscopicity.
