[0005] Compounds can exist in one or more crystalline forms. Crystalline forms can also exhibit different levels of stability, solubility, dissolution rate, and bioavailability. Drug solubility is one of many factors affecting drug absorption; drugs need suitable solubility in aqueous media to demonstrate optimal bioavailability and therapeutic effect. Typically, during drug product development, the most stable crystalline form of a drug product is selected based on the minimum probability of its conversion to another crystalline form and its higher chemical stability. To ensure the quality, safety, and efficacy of drug products, it is important to select crystalline forms that are stable, reproducible, and possess favorable physicochemical properties.

[0084] The measurement of the 2θ or diffraction peaks in the X-ray powder diffraction pattern of the crystal is subject to experimental error. The measurement of the 2θ or diffraction peaks in the X-ray powder diffraction pattern may vary slightly between different machines and between different samples. The experimental error or difference may be + / - 0.2 units, + / - 0.1 units, or + / - 0.05 units. Therefore, the value of the 2θ or diffraction peaks cannot be considered absolute.

[0085] The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curve of the crystal has experimental errors. The position and peak value of the endothermic peak may vary slightly between one machine and another, and between one sample and another. The experimental error or difference may be less than or equal to 5°C, or less than or equal to 4°C, or less than or equal to 3°C, or less than or equal to 2°C, or less than or equal to 1°C. Therefore, the peak position or peak value of the DSC endothermic peak cannot be regarded as absolute.

[0086] The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) curves of the crystals are subject to experimental error. The endothermic curves or weight loss rates may vary slightly between different machines and between different samples. The experimental error or difference may be less than or equal to 0.004%, 0.003%, 0.002%, or 0.001%. Therefore, the thermogravimetric analysis curves or their weight loss rates cannot be considered absolute.

[0087] In the context of this invention, all figures disclosed herein are approximate values, regardless of whether the words "approximately" or "about" are used. The value of each figure may vary by + / -1%, + / -2%, or + / -5%, etc. When "approximately" is used to describe the 2θ (also known as 2theta or diffraction peak) value of an X-ray powder diffraction peak, "approximately" means that the 2θ value may vary by + / -0.2 units, + / -0.1 units, or + / -0.05 units.

[0088] The term "room temperature" refers to a temperature of approximately 20°C-35°C, approximately 23°C-28°C, or approximately 25°C.

[0089] The term "good solvent" can refer to a single solvent or a mixture of solvents, meaning that the sample's solubility in that single solvent or mixture of solvents is greater than 1 g / L, or greater than 2 g / L, or greater than 3 g / L, or greater than 4 g / L, or greater than 5 g / L, or greater than 6 g / L, or greater than 7 g / L, or greater than 8 g / L, or greater than 9 g / L, or greater than 10 g / L, or greater than 15 g / L, or greater than 20 g / L, or greater than 30 g / L, or greater than 40 g / L, or greater than 50 g / L, or greater than 60 g / L, or greater than 70 g / L, or greater than 80 g / L, or greater than 100 g / L.

[0090] The term "antisolvent" refers to a solvent that can promote supersaturation and / or crystallization of a solution. In some embodiments, the solubility of the sample in the antisolvent is less than 0.001 g / L, less than 0.1 g / L, less than 0.0 g / L, less than 0.3 g / L, less than 0.4 g / L, less than 0.5 g / L, less than 0.6 g / L, less than 0.7 g / L, less than 0.8 g / L, less than 1 g / L, less than 2 g / L, less than 3 g / L, less than 4 g / L, less than 5 g / L, less than 6 g / L, less than 7 g / L, less than 8 g / L, less than 9 g / L, or less than 10 g / L.

[0091] In some embodiments, the sample is more soluble in the good solvent than in the antisolvent; in some embodiments, the difference in solubility of the sample in the good solvent and the antisolvent is approximately 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, or 90%; in some embodiments, the sample is more soluble in the good solvent than in the antisolvent, greater than 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, or 90%.

[0092] In this invention, μg / mL represents micrograms per milliliter, h represents hours, g represents grams, and ml represents milliliters.

[0093] The "crystal form" described in this invention can exist in a sample at concentrations ranging from 0.0001% to 100%. Therefore, any sample containing even trace amounts of the "crystal form" described in this invention, such as greater than 0.0001%, 0.001%, 0.001%, or 0.01%, should be understood as falling within the scope of protection of this invention. To describe the various parameters of the "crystal form" described in this invention more clearly, this invention characterizes and identifies the crystal form by testing various parameters on samples containing a substantially pure "crystal form."

[0102] X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) patterns were collected on a Dutch PANalytical Empyrean X-ray diffractometer equipped with an automated 3*15 zero-background sample holder and a transmission / reflection sample stage. The radiation source used was (Cu, kα, Kα1) 1.540598; Kα2 1.544426; Kα2 / Kα1 intensity ratio: 0.50), where the voltage is set at 45KV and the current at 40mA. The X-ray beam divergence, i.e., the effective size of the X-ray confinement on the sample, is 10mm. A continuous θ-θ scanning mode is used to obtain an effective 2θ range of 3°–40°. An appropriate amount of sample is placed in the circular groove of the zero-background sample holder under ambient conditions (approximately 18℃–32℃), and gently pressed with a clean glass slide to obtain a flat surface. The zero-background sample holder is then fixed. A conventional XRPD pattern is generated within the 3–40° 2θ range using a scanning step size of 0.0168°. Data collection software is Data Collector, and data is analyzed and displayed using Data Viewer and HighScore Plus.
