Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to solid forms of N-(pyrimidinylphenyl)-acrylamide compounds useful in the treatment of proliferative disorders and immunological conditions associated with kinase dysregulation, such as, but not limited to, EGFR (including HER), Alk, PDGFR, BLK, BMX / ETK, BTK, FLT3(D835Y), ITK, JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, TEC and TXK. Methods of making and using the compounds and solid forms thereof are also disclosed. Certain salt forms and physical forms of the compounds are also disclosed, as are pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds, and methods of using these compounds, solid forms and pharmaceutical compositions to modulate kinase activity and treat certain proliferative and immunological diseases. BACKGROUND

[0002] Certain N-(pyrimidinylphenyl)acrylamide compounds of general formula (I)

[0003]

[0004] wherein R 3 may be alkoxy, R c may be alkyl, cycloalkyl or heterocycloalkyl; Y can be N, CH or C halo (C-halo); R d may be H or alkyl;

[0005] are described as potent modulators of certain protein kinases known to be important drug targets.

[0006] WO2015 / 0067654. These compounds are useful in the treatment of certain protein kinase mediated diseases, including cancer, immune diseases and chronic inflammation.

[0007] Of particular interest is the inhibition of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) by compounds of formula (I), which plays a crucial role in the maturation of B-cells and activation of mast cells. Inhibitors of BTK are in clinical trials for B-cell related proliferative diseases (chronic lymphocytic leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma) and autoimmune diseases such as X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA).

[0008] Certain compounds of general formula (I), including Compound A

[0009]

[0010] (S)-N-(3-(2-(4-((1-acetylpiperazin-3-yl)(methyl)amino)anilino)-5- methoxy pyrimidin-4-yloxy)phenyl)acrylamide and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are of particular interest due to their potent inhibition of protein kinases including EGFR and BTK, and thus can be suitable for use in clinical trials for the treatment of EGFR and / or BTK related diseases. In order to enhance their clinical utility, improved forms and formulations of these compounds are needed, and have now been developed.

[0011] An efficient process is needed to prepare these compounds for clinical testing and commercial use. Such processes, as well as intermediates useful in the preparation of these compounds, are described herein; certain salt forms and polymorphs of these compounds, and methods of their preparation, are also described.

[0012] Generally, drug stability is an important consideration in the design, manufacture, and storage of pharmaceutical compositions. Drugs that lack stability can form degradation products, causing adverse side effects, or in some cases, a decrease in efficacy and bioavailability of the drug itself, making it difficult for physicians to prescribe consistent and effective doses. In order to develop Compound A for widespread use in pharmaceutical applications, solid forms that can be consistently produced and in high purity are needed, as are dosage forms and formulations of these solid forms that are stable for long term storage. The present invention provides such solid forms of Compound A, as well as pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment utilizing these solid forms.

[0013] SUMMARY

[0014] The present invention relates to methods of preparing certain N-(pyrimidinyloxy)phenyl acrylamide compounds and solid forms thereof, as well as intermediates useful in their preparation. Certain solid forms, salts, and polymorphs of Compound A, which is particularly useful in the development and production of pharmaceutical products, are also described. The present invention describes particularly useful solid forms of Compound A, including a 1 : 1 salt of Compound A with L-(+)-tartaric acid (Compound A-TA). In addition, the present invention describes pharmaceutical compositions comprising these novel solid forms, and methods of their preparation and use.

[0015] The present disclosure provides methods of preparing Compound A

[0016]

[0017] and its tartrate salt, as well as methods of producing novel solid forms of the tartrate salt that can be consistently produced and are highly stable for formulation and storage. Also disclosed herein are stable polymorphs of the salt of Compound A, as well as methods of using the polymorphs or other solid forms to prepare pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms.

[0018] Compound A is very effective as a kinase inhibitor, but has low water solubility, which reduces its suitability for oral administration. The neutral compound, which is referred to as the free base of Compound A, is practically insoluble at higher pH values due to its weak basicity. To improve water solubility, which is expected to greatly improve oral bioavailability, attempts have been made to prepare acid addition salts of Compound A. Surprisingly, of twelve acids [HCl, HBr, H3PO4, maleic acid, hydroxybutanedioic acid, citric acid, methanesulfonic acid, toluenesulfonic acid, camphorsulfonic acid, fumaric acid, L-(+)-tartaric acid and D-(-)-tartaric acid] used in initial testing, only (L)-(+)-tartaric acid produced a stable crystalline solid. Thus, the L-(+)-tartaric acid salt of Compound A, referred to hereinafter as Compound A L-(+)-tartaric acid salt, or Compound A-TA, is particularly suitable for development and use in the many compositions and methods herein.

[0019] In one aspect, the present application provides a solid form of Compound A:

[0020]

[0021] which is a tartrate salt. In some embodiments, it is a 1:1 salt of Compound A and L-(+)-tartaric acid. In some embodiments, it is a crystalline dihydrate.

[0022] In another aspect, the present application provides stable and particularly useful polymorphs of the tartrate salt of Compound A, which are further described herein, as well as methods of making these salts.

[0023] The present application also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising the solid forms described herein, as well as methods of using the pharmaceutical compositions to make highly stable pharmaceutical products and dosage units. It provides various forms of dosage units, including capsules and tablets, having suitable amounts of the solid forms of Compound A and formulations thereof for treating diseases characterized by abnormal levels of EGFR and / or BTK activity.

[0024] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present application are packaged with at least one protective agent, which can be one or more materials selected from the group consisting of desiccants, antioxidants, oxygen scavengers, and inert gases. The protective agent can reduce the rate of formation of trace impurities when the pharmaceutical composition is exposed to heat or moisture or both.

[0025] The present application also provides dosage units comprising the pharmaceutical compounds of the present application and packaged pharmaceutical products comprising these compounds.

[0026] In another aspect, the present invention provides a method for treating proliferative diseases, cancers, tumors, inflammatory diseases, psoriasis, dry eye syndrome, or autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus in subjects using the compounds, solid forms, pharmaceutical compositions, and dosage units of the present invention. Exemplary proliferative diseases for treatment include sarcomas, epidermoid carcinomas, fibrosarcomas, cervical cancer, gastric cancer, skin cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, colon cancer, CNS cancer, melanoma, ovarian cancer, kidney cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer, head and neck cancer, and pancreatic cancer. Of particular interest are B-cell-related forms of lymphoma or leukemia, such as chronic myeloid leukemia and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

[0027] The present invention also provides an improved method for synthesizing compounds such as compound A or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

[0028] Other aspects and beneficial effects of the present invention will become apparent from the implementation schemes and embodiments provided herein.

[0029] For the sake of brevity, the disclosures of publications including those containing patents cited in this specification are incorporated herein by reference. Attached Figure Description

In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition further comprises a disintegrant and a lubricant. In some embodiments, the lubricant is sodium stearoyl fumarate. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises about 0.05% (w / w) to about 5% (w / w) of sodium stearoyl fumarate.

[0142] The oral pharmaceutical compositions described herein can generally be present in the form of single or multiple unit dosage forms, such as tablets, caplets, powders, suspensions, chewable tablets, fast-dissolving tablets, capsules, such as single or double shell gelatin capsules, tablet- filled capsules, effervescent powders, effervescent tablets, pills, granules, liquids, solutions or suspensions.

For salt forms, the concentration is expressed as the free base equivalent of the salt form.

[0143] While the disclosed solid forms of Compound A-TA exhibit high chemical and polymorphic stability, pharmaceutical compositions comprising Compound A or Compound A-TA can undergo oxidation upon storage in the presence of moisture and / or oxygen, under prolonged storage conditions. Data on the stability of selected pharmaceutical compositions of Compound A-TA are provided in the table below, which shows the slow formation of Impurity B, an oxidation product, during storage at high temperature, and a reduced rate of formation of this impurity when an oxygen scavenger (Deoxidizer CD20) is present. CD20, also known as Deoxidizer CD20.

[0144] Table 1. Comparison of impurity profiles for formulations in Table 4 (see below) and Table 5 (see below) stored with and without oxygen scavenger:

[0145]

[0146] *Both formulations used the same batch of Compound A-TA, the stability of which is compared in Table 1.

[0147] Formulation 4 in Table 1 refers to the formulation material prepared from the ingredients and proportions shown in Table 4, and was tested together with the formulated pharmaceutical composition in and without an oxygen absorber in the storage container. Formulation 5 is the formulation material prepared using the ingredients and proportions shown in Table 5. As shown in Table 1 above, the materials were stored at 60°C or 40°C for 6 months to test stability. Two formulations (Formulation 4 and Formulation 5) were prepared using the same batch of compounds A-TA. It was found that the content of impurity B, an oxidized derivative of compound A, was lowest when the formulated pharmaceutical composition was stored in a container in the presence of an oxygen absorber (oxygen absorber CD20). Therefore, packaging pharmaceutical compositions containing compounds A-TA in the presence of an oxygen absorber reduces the formation of at least one impurity during long-term storage.

[0148] Therefore, in some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprising compound A-TA is stored under conditions that minimize exposure to oxygen, moisture, or both. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition is stored in the presence of a protective agent, or packaged with a protective agent, or may be stored in an inert atmosphere, or may be film-coated. Suitable protective agents for this purpose include the following desiccants and oxygen absorbers:

[0149] Desiccants, including but not limited to typical desiccants, such as:

[0150] 1) Silica gel desiccant, such as activated silica gel;

[0151] 2) Molecular sieve desiccant - a synthetic zeolite with strong absorption of water molecules. The pore size of the molecular sieve material allows for the passage of water molecules.

[0152] They can be controlled by different processing techniques, so in addition to adsorbing water vapor, they can also adsorb other gases.

[0153] 3) Fiber desiccant.

[0154] Oxygen absorbers, including oxygen absorption products known in the art, such as iron-containing oxygen absorber canisters, and commercially available oxygen absorbers. The cans, manufactured by Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Co., Ltd., include CD20, CD10, KD10, and KD20, which are designed for use in pharmaceuticals.

[0155] As is known in the art, some oxygen absorbents can be used in combination with desiccants, such as molecular sieves and / or activated silica gel.

[0156] Other methods of reducing oxidation of Compound A-TA in the pharmaceutical compositions of the disclosure include adding one or more antioxidants to the formulated pharmaceutical composition, such as sodium bisulfite, sodium sulfite, sodium thiosulfate, sodium metabisulfite, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), antioxidant-264 (BHT), vitamin E, and the like; or maintaining the pharmaceutical composition in an inert gas atmosphere that is substantially free of oxygen and / or moisture, such as dry nitrogen or argon.

[0157] Separately packaged oxygen absorbers can be effective in reducing the amount of oxygen in the package and preventing the product from being oxidized during long-term storage. Many suitable oxygen absorber products are known in the art, for example, iron-containing deoxidizing cans can be used. Other examples include oxygen-absorbing cans manufactured by Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, including CD20, CD10, KD10, and KD20, which are designed for pharmaceuticals. Oxygen absorbers can be used in combination with desiccants, such as molecular sieves and / or activated silica gel. Table 2 shows that the impurity profile can be improved by placing CD20 oxygen absorbers in containers containing pharmaceutical compositions comprising Compound A-TA during stability testing at high temperature (40°C).

[0158] After encapsulation as described herein, Compound A-TA has high stability when stored in opaque HDPE bottles with conventional LDPE caps in the presence of an effective deoxidizer, such as CD20, when stored for up to 6 months at 40°C and 75% relative humidity, or for up to 24 months at 25°C and 60% relative humidity.

[0159] Accordingly, in some embodiments, capsules or tablets comprising Compound A-TA are packaged within an opaque high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottle and capped with an opaque high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or low-density polyethylene (LDPE) cap. Optionally, the bottle further comprises a protective agent, such as silica gel or activated charcoal or activated zeolite desiccant; and optionally, the bottle further comprises a deoxidizer, such as a deoxidizing can product such as CD10, CD20, KD10, or KD20. In some embodiments, the protective agent is contained within a can, pouch, envelope, or similar container within the bottle to prevent direct contact of the protective agent with the pharmaceutical composition, while allowing the protective agent to be exposed to any oxygen within the interior of the bottle.

[0160] In some embodiments, the bottle containing capsules or tablets comprising Compound A-TA comprises an oxygen-capturing agent, such as iron powder, catechol, calcium, ascorbic acid, or calcium oxide in a container such as a vented plastic can, using methods and products known in the art to protect the drug. In some embodiments, the oxygen-capturing agent is​ A product or StabilOx product, which can be a sachet or a canister containing proprietary oxygen-capturing material and optionally further comprising a desiccant. Thus, in some embodiments, the present application provides a packaged pharmaceutical product comprising a pharmaceutical composition comprising Compound A-TA and a protective agent, which can be a desiccant, an antioxidant, an oxygen scavenger or an opaque coating, and also an inert gas for displacing air in a vial or other container used for packaging the pharmaceutical product. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition, e.g., a capsule or tablet, in dosage unit form of Compound A-TA, is packaged in a vial and the protective agent is packaged separately in the same vial, preferably substantially air-tight. In some of these embodiments, a deoxidizing agent within a canister is added to the vial along with the pharmaceutical composition. Alternatively, the deoxidizing agent is selected from the group consisting of CD and KD products, e.g., CD10 and KD10 and CD20 and KD20, manufactured by Mitsubishi A product in the StabilOx® product line, which products are designed for pharmaceutical use and provide protection for the composition.

[0161] In some embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition comprising Compound A-TA, optionally in dosage unit form of Compound A-TA, is packaged in a sealed bag, box, tub or other container and is protected by an inert gas, e.g., dry nitrogen or argon.

[0162] The present methods can be used for any suitable purpose. In some embodiments, the methods of the present application are used to treat and / or prevent a proliferative disease, a cancer, a tumor, an inflammatory disease, an autoimmune disease, psoriasis, dry eye or an immunologically related disease or lupus in a subject. The present methods can be used to treat and / or prevent any suitable proliferative disease. Exemplary proliferative diseases include sarcoma, epidermoid carcinoma, fibrosarcoma, cervical cancer, gastric cancer, skin cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, colon cancer, CNS cancer, melanoma, ovarian cancer, renal cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer, head and neck cancer and pancreatic cancer. Of particular interest are methods of using the solid forms of Compound A-TA, pharmaceutical compositions and dosage units comprising these solid forms for treating a disorder selected from the group consisting of lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic myelogenous leukemia and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

The abbreviations used herein have their normally understood meaning in the art, unless otherwise indicated.

[0167] Compound A was synthesized by three different methods.

[0168] Strategy / Routel: 1

[0169]

[0170] This synthetic strategy / route 1 is acceptable for small-scale synthesis, especially in the early stages of drug discovery (e.g., SAR studies / targeted library synthesis) because structural diversity can be achieved through the use of various 2-Cl-pyrimidines 2 and aromatic amines 3 in the synthesis. In this strategy, key intermediates 2 and 3 are coupled via a Pd-catalyzed CN coupling reaction, followed by reduction and acylation to obtain the target compound 6. A drawback of this synthesis is that the acylation reaction in the final step is often affected by other NH groups in the molecule, leading to undesirable byproducts (impurities). To overcome this drawback, we decided to modify this synthetic strategy / route by performing an acylation reaction prior to the coupling reaction (see Strategy / Route 2).

[0171] Strategy / Routel: 2

[0172]

[0173] In strategy / route 2, we perform the acylation reaction prior to the coupling reaction, and there are no other NH groups in the molecule, which avoids the side acylation reaction that might occur in synthetic strategy / route 1. Furthermore, the acrylamide group was found to be very stable in the final coupling reaction.

[0174] Strategy / Routel: 3

[0175]

[0176] In strategy / route 3, the synthesis efficiency of 2-Cl-pyrimidine 4 was further improved by using the inexpensive starting material 3-aminophenol instead of 3-nitrophenol (eliminating the reduction reaction). The acylation reaction between 3-aminophenol and acryloyl chloride was found to be a highly preferred option.

[0177] In addition, during the process development, starting materials 2-Cl-pyrimidine 4 with different purities were explored. The results showed that different batches of 2-Cl-pyrimidine 4 with a purity range of 97.8–99.2% could all yield product 9 (compound A) that met the acceptance criteria.

[0178] Based on the test results of the three synthetic strategies, route 3 was used to prepare batches of compound A for the compositions and experiments described herein, as the final synthetic strategy / pathway for synthesizing the free base of compound A.

[0179] The synthetic route starts with commercially available (S) tert-butyl 3- aminopyrrolidine-1 -carboxylate 1 with an ee% (enantiomeric purity) of at least 98.5%. All reactions were performed under mild conditions with moderate to excellent yields. Most importantly, the entire process resulted in the preservation of the stereochemistry in the final product Compound A free base. Therefore, this synthetic route was chosen for further development and scale-up.

[0180] After finalizing the synthetic route, the reaction conditions were optimized for each step of the synthesis and the production scale was gradually expanded to more than 5 kg.

[0181] Example 1. Synthesis of starting material (8).

[0182]

[0183] Step 1: Synthesis of N-(3-hydroxyphenyl)acrylamide (12)

[0184] A set of 30 L jacketed reactors was equipped with a cooling system set at -20 °C. 3- Aminophenol 11 (2.3 kg, 21.1 mol), THF (15 L) and K2CO3 (4.5 kg, 32.6 mol) were added to the reactor under mechanical stirring. When the internal temperature of the reactor reached about -10 °C, acryloyl chloride (2 kg, 22.1 mol) was added dropwise to the reactor. The internal temperature was maintained below 0 °C during the addition. After the addition of acryloyl chloride, the reaction was stirred for 1 h. At this point, a TLC analysis (ethyl acetate / petroleum ether / acetic acid = 2 / 1 / 0.1 as mobile phase) of the reaction in progress was performed to confirm the completion of the reaction. Water (10 L) was then slowly added to quench the reaction. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to remove THF. Ethyl acetate (10 L) was added and the batch was stirred for 30 min. The aqueous layer was separated and extracted with ethyl acetate (10 L x 4) until there was no compound 12 in the aqueous layer (by TLC). The organic layers were combined and washed with water (3 L x 3).

[0185] The extraction-washing process was repeated twice more to maximize the recovery of compound 12 from the upper aqueous layer. All ethyl acetate layers were combined, dried over Na2SO4 and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to a volume of about 5 L. The concentrated solution was left at room temperature overnight and the precipitate was collected to give crude compound 12, which was further purified by mixing with cold ethyl acetate (4 L) under vigorous stirring for 30 min. The solid product was collected and dried under vacuum to give compound 12 (2.1 kg, 60% yield) as a white solid.

Compound 12 (3.05 kg, 18.7 mol), 2,4-dichloro-5-methoxymidazole (3.3 kg, 18.4 mol) and K2CO3 (3.85 kg, 27.9 mol) were then added under mechanical stirring. When the internal temperature reached 70 °C, the mixture was stirred for a further 4-4.5 h. At this point, TLC analysis in progress (ethyl acetate / petroleum ether / triethylamine = 2 / 2 / 0.1 as mobile phase) indicated that the reaction was complete. The mixture was then cooled to room temperature, filtered and washed with DMF (1 L). The resulting DMF solution (filtrate) was slowly poured into water (10 times the volume of DMF). The precipitate was collected, washed with water (about 4 L) until the aqueous layer was neutral, and then dried to obtain crude 8.

[0188] Further purification was carried out by mixing the crude product with ethyl acetate (about 45 L, 8 times the weight of crude compound 8). The resulting suspension was heated to reflux and stirred for 1 h. After cooling, the solid was collected, washed with ethyl acetate (1 L x 2) and dried to obtain compound 8 (4.79 kg, yield 85%) as a white solid.

The reaction mixture was then heated with a water bath (90-95 °C) and stirred for 12 h (during which the internal temperature was maintained between 85-95 °C). At this point, TLC analysis in progress (ethyl acetate / petroleum ether = 1 / 2 as mobile phase) indicated that the reaction was complete. The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature. The resulting solution was slowly transferred to a reactor containing ice water (60 L), forming a dense precipitate. The resulting slurry was vigorously stirred for 2 h. The yellow precipitate was then filtered, washed with water (12 L x 2) and dried at 40-45 °C to obtain compound 3 (9.6 kg, HPLC purity 97.09%, yield 96.96%) as a yellow solid, which was used in the next reaction without further purification.

After complete dissolution of compound 3, the resulting yellow solution was cooled to and NaH (60%, 1.876 kg, 46.90 mol) was added slowly (in portions, maintaining the internal temperature of the reactor between The reaction mixture was stirred for 15 min and then CH3I (5.326 kg, 37.52 mol) was added slowly, maintaining the internal temperature between Once the addition was complete, the cooling was removed and the mixture was stirred for 1 h. At this point, the ongoing TLC analysis (ethyl acetate / petroleum ether = 1 / 6 as mobile phase) indicated that the reaction was complete. Then, cold water (12 L) was added to quench the reaction and the reaction mixture was stirred for another 1 h.

[0196] Extraction with ethyl acetate: The reaction mixture was divided into three approximately equal portions. To one portion of the reaction mixture in a 100 L reactor, water (42 L) was added. The resulting solution was extracted with ethyl acetate (24 L). The aqueous layer was removed. The organic layer was washed with water (18 L x 2) and then filtered through For the other two portions of the reaction mixture, the same procedure was repeated. The combined filtrates (organic layer) were concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting solid was further dried to obtain compound 4 (10.080 kg, HPLC purity 97.17%, yield 100.12%) as a brown solid, which was used for the next reaction without further purification.

[0197] Step 3: Synthesis of (S)-N-methyl-N-(4-nitrophenyl)pyrrolidin-3-amine hydrochloride (5)

[0198]

[0199] Compound 4 (10.045 kg, 31.26 mol), methanol (10 L) and dichloromethane (10 L) were charged in a 100 L reactor. The reaction mixture was stirred at a rate of until compound 4 was completely dissolved. The resulting yellow solution was cooled to HCl / MeOH (8 M, 20 L) was added slowly under stirring. Once the addition was complete, the reaction mixture was stirred at this temperature for another 0.5 h. The cooling system was removed, the reaction mixture was allowed to warm up to room temperature and stirring was continued for another 16.5 h (precipitate formed).

The resulting suspension was filtered. The solid was collected, washed with heptane (6 L) and dried to give compound 6 (6.430 kg, 99.84% HPLC purity, 89.25% yield) as a yellow powder, which was used in the next step without further purification.

[0200] Step 4: Synthesis of (S)-1-(3-(methyl(4-nitrophenyl)amino)pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethanone (6)

[0201]

[0202] Et3N triethylamine (6.940 kg, 68.65 mol) was added to a solution of compound 5 (7.052 kg, 27.58 mol) in methanol (41 L) and dichloromethane (32 L). The resulting yellow solution was cooled to 0 °C. Acetyl chloride (2.590 kg, 32.99 mol) was then added dropwise while maintaining the reaction temperature below 5 °C with stirring. Once the addition was complete, the reaction mixture was stirred at this temperature for a further 0.5 hours. At this point, in-process TLC analysis (ethyl acetate as the mobile phase) indicated that the reaction had gone to completion. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure.
