Description

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Serial No. 63 / 013,276, filed on April 21, 2020, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Technical Field

[0003] The present invention relates to a crystalline form of a phthalazinone compound of formula 1, a method for preparing the phthalazinone compound, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the phthalazinone compound. More specifically, the present invention relates to a crystalline form of 4-[3-(3-[(cyclopropylamino)methyl]azetidine-1-carbonyl)-4-fluorobenzyl]phthalazin-1(2H)-one hydrochloride, a method for preparing the same, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same.

[0004] [Formula 1]

[0005] Background Art

[0006] U.S. Pat. No. 9,682,973 ("US'973") discloses 4-[3-(3-[(cyclopropylamino)methyl]azetidine-1-carbonyl)-4-fluorobenzyl]phthalazin-1(2H)-one of Formula 2 and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts as poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (hereinafter referred to as "PARP") inhibitors having anticancer activity:

[0007] [Formula 2]

[0008]

[0009] US'973 also discloses a compound of formula 1 which is the hydrochloride salt of the compound of formula 2.

[0010] US'973 discloses a method for preparing a hydrochloride compound of Formula 1 from a compound of Formula 2. Specifically, after the compound of Formula 2 is dissolved in dichloromethane and then cooled to 0°C, a 1N HCl aqueous solution is added thereto, stirred at room temperature for 1 hour, and concentrated to prepare a compound of Formula 1.

[0011] However, when attempting to scale up the process based on the method disclosed in US'973, the compound of Formula 1 is obtained in a viscous oil phase, rather than a crystalline solid. Such an oil phase has lower purity and stability than a crystalline solid and is less suitable for commercial production. Further, since the method according to US'973 requires a concentration process, this method may not be preferred for commercially large-scale production of medical drug substances.

[0012] Furthermore, the preparation method of US'973 uses dichloromethane as a solvent, which may remain as a residual impurity even after removal. Therefore, due to the strict maximum requirements for the solvent, the preparation method of US'973 may be less than ideal in terms of safety. Summary of the invention

[0042] Crystalline form of the compound of formula 1

[0043] One aspect of the present invention provides a crystalline form of a compound of Formula 1 below, characterized in that it exhibits an X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) pattern comprising peaks at diffraction angles 2θ±0.2° values ​​of 13.7°, 15.9° and 24.1°.

[0044] [Formula 1]

[0045]

[0046] Hereinafter, the crystalline form is referred to as crystalline form A.

[0047] In one aspect, crystalline Form A can exhibit an XRPD pattern comprising peaks at three or more, preferably four or more, 2θ±0.2° values ​​selected from the group consisting of 9.1°, 11.9°, 13.2°, 13.7°, 15.9°, 16.8°, 18.1°, 23.2°, 24.1°, 25.5°, and 26.6°.

[0048] Specifically, crystalline Form A may exhibit an XRPD pattern comprising peaks at 2θ±0.2° values ​​of 9.1°, 13.2°, 13.7°, 15.9°, 16.8°, 24.1°, and 26.6°.

[0049] More specifically, crystalline Form A may exhibit an XRPD pattern comprising peaks at 2θ±0.2° values ​​of 9.1°, 11.9°, 13.2°, 13.7°, 15.9°, 16.8°, 18.1°, 23.2°, 24.1°, 25.5°, and 26.6°.

[0050] When irradiated with a Cu-Ka light source, for example using a D8 Advance (Bruker ASX, Germany) analyzer, an XRPD pattern can be obtained. The Cu-Ka light source can have wavelength.

[0051] These peaks can be expressed as relative intensities (I / I o ) is about 10%, more specifically, about 15% or more.

[0052] In differential scanning calorimetry (DSC, 10° C. / min), crystalline form A may have an exothermic peak having a starting point of about 219° C. and a maximum point of about 225° C. In DSC (10° C. / min), crystalline form A may have an exothermic peak at about 222±4° C.

[0053] In thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), the crystalline form A may have a weight loss of 4% or less at up to 100°C, and decompose at or above 200°C.

[0054] In another aspect of the present invention, the crystalline Form A of the compound of Formula 1 may be in substantially pure form.

[0055] The term "substantially pure" as used herein means that any other form of the compound of Formula 1 (other crystalline forms, amorphous forms, etc.) is at least 95% pure, preferably 97% pure, or more preferably 99% pure, wherein 95% purity means no more than 5%, 97% purity means no more than 3%, and 99% purity means no more than 1%.

[0056] In one embodiment, the crystalline Form A of the compound of Formula 1 may have a crystalline form purity of 95% or more.

[0057] It was found that the crystalline form A of the compound of Formula 1 had significantly improved storage stability and purity (see Experimental Example 1). According to the long-term stability purity test of Experimental Example 1, after 24 months at 25±2°C, about 0.20wt% of the total impurities were found to be crystalline form A. Therefore, the crystalline form A of the compound of Formula 1 can prepare a drug with improved stability.

[0058] In addition, the crystalline form A of the compound of formula 1 can be prepared to have a higher safety curve. In the previous method for preparing the compound of formula 1, dichloromethane was used as a solvent. Dichloromethane is very toxic and is classified as a Class 2 solvent, i.e., according to the International Committee for Harmonization (ICH) Guideline Q3C [Impurity Guidelines for Residual Solvents], the residual amount in the drug is 600ppm or less solvent. However, due to the need for expensive processing, it is difficult to reduce the amount of residual solvent. Therefore, the crystalline form A of the compound of formula 1 has the advantages of being safer and more economical in terms of production as a medical drug substance.

[0059] Method for preparing crystalline form A of the compound of formula 1

[0060] Another aspect of the present invention provides a process for preparing crystalline Form A of the compound of Formula 1.

The solvent may be, for example, a single solvent such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, and methyl tert-butyl ether, or a mixed solvent thereof, for example, a mixed solvent of methanol and methyl tert-butyl ether.

[0080] The free base form of the compound of Formula 1, i.e., 4-[3-(3-[(cyclopropylamino)methyl]azetidine-1-carbonyl)-4-fluorobenzyl]phthalazin-1(2H)-one, can be prepared according to the method disclosed in US'973, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. However, the embodiments described herein are not limited thereto, and the free base form of the compound of Formula 1 can be prepared using any method known to a person of ordinary skill in the relevant art.

In a specific embodiment, the solvent can be water, ethyl acetate, diethyl ether, isopropanol, or ethanol. More specifically, the hydrochloric acid solution can be about 30-40%, such as a 37.0% aqueous solution, a 1.0M ethyl acetate solution, a 1.0M diethyl ether solution, a 5 to 6N isopropanol solution, or a 1.25M ethanol solution.

[0082] The amount of hydrochloric acid in the hydrochloric acid solution or the mixed solution of the hydrochloric acid solution and the solvent can be about 1.0 to about 2.0 equivalents relative to 1 equivalent of the compound of formula 1 in free base form. The volume of the hydrochloric acid solution or the mixed solution can be a ratio (v / w) of about 0.1:1 to about 20:1 relative to the weight of the compound of formula 1 in free base form. The solvent in step (c) can be one or more selected from the group consisting of: C1-C3 alcohol, acetone, ethyl acetate and methyl tert-butyl ether.

[0083] In step (f), the cooling temperature may be about 10° C. to about 20° C., and preferably about 12° C. to about 17° C., and more preferably about 15° C. In step (g), after cooling, stirring for about 20 minutes to about 60 minutes, and more preferably about 30 minutes to 40 minutes, a solid phase crystalline form A may be obtained. Thereafter, filtering, washing and drying may be performed in step (h).

[0084] The washing and drying steps are not particularly limited. The washing may be performed using the solvent used in step (a). The drying may be performed using any method that does not affect the stability of the crystalline form of the compound of Formula 1, for example, drying at a temperature of about 40° C. to about 50° C. for about 15 to 30 hours.

[0085] In the case of using a solvent other than the above solvents for crystallization, another crystalline form can be obtained. For example, when dichloromethane or a mixture of dichloromethane and methanol is used as a solvent, a crystalline form C of Formula 1 is obtained. Crystalline form C can exhibit an XRPD pattern including peaks at diffraction angles (2θ) ± 0.2° at 3.5°, 7.1°, 12.9°, 21.6°, 24.4° and 25.3°.
