Description
[0001] This invention claims the following priority:
[0002] CN202110722010.6, application date: June 28, 2021. Technical Field
[0003] This invention relates to a crystal form of a triazolopyridine-substituted indazole compound and a method for preparing the same, specifically to the crystal form of the compound shown in formula (I) and a method for preparing the same. Background Technology
[0004] Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory, systemic autoimmune disease. Early joint manifestations of RA are often difficult to distinguish from other types of inflammatory arthritis. More characteristic signs of RA include joint erosion, rheumatoid nodules, and other extra-articular manifestations. RA affects women more than men (3:1), and the age of onset is between 30 and 55 years.
[0005] The pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis is very complex. It mainly involves the presentation of autoantigens by major histocompatibility complex II (MHC-II) positive antigen-presenting cells (APCs) to activated CD4+ T cells, which initiates a specific immune response. At the same time, activated T cells, macrophages and other cells migrate to the synovium, which increases the secretion of various inflammatory cytokines such as TNFα, IL-1 and IL-6, which infiltrate the synovial joint and lead to the corresponding arthritis symptoms.
[0006] Glucocorticoids (GCs) have been widely used to treat inflammatory and immune diseases for decades, including rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), osteoarthritis, rheumatic fever, allergic rhinitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Crohn's disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and ulcerative colitis.
[0007] Glucocorticoids (GCs) bind to glucocorticoid receptors (GRs), enter the cell nucleus, and influence gene transcription (activation and inhibition), reducing the production of inflammatory factors. Glucocorticoid receptors are members of the conserved nuclear receptor superfamily, belonging to the nuclear transcription factor family. They are widely distributed in various tissues and cells of the body, and almost all cells are their target cells, playing an important regulatory role in the body's development, growth, metabolism, and immune function. GCs often have serious and irreversible side effects, such as osteoporosis, hyperglycemia, diabetes, hypertension, muscle atrophy, and Cushing's syndrome, severely limiting the use of GCs in chronic diseases.
[0008] Examples of GR ligands have been found that can selectively induce transcriptional repression without significant transcriptional activation, reducing the risk of systemic side effects while maintaining anti-inflammatory activity. These are termed selective glucocorticoid receptor modulators (SGRMs). Unlike GC, SGRMs, when binding to GR, induce complete transcriptional repression with only partial transcriptional activation, thus controlling related side effects while maintaining anti-inflammatory activity.

At the end of the acclimatization period, a veterinarian or designated personnel will check the animals' health status to assess their suitability for experimental research.
[0327] 1.3 Animal husbandry
[0328] Animal husbandry in this experimental protocol complies with the U.S. Animal Welfare Act and follows the National Academy of Sciences Research Council's "Guidelines for the Management and Use of Laboratory Animals" (8th Edition) and the Laboratory Animal Management Regulations (2017 Revision), among other regulations and guidelines. Animals will be housed together, but may be housed individually post-surgery, depending on specific experimental requirements, for behavioral or health reasons, or due to the death of a companion. Except in cases requiring fasting, qualified rat growth and reproduction feed will be provided daily, with free access to food. Each batch of feed will have a report on nutritional composition, chemical contaminants, and microbiological analysis, and will be administered to the animals only after veterinary evaluation and approval. Drinking water will be autoclaved reverse osmosis water, supplied in water bottles, with free access to water. Drinking water will be periodically sampled by a qualified third-party testing laboratory for microbiological and environmental contaminant testing, with the test reports reviewed and evaluated by the veterinarian. Animals will use either wood shavings or corncob bedding. If corncob bedding is used, it will be replaced with wood shavings bedding before fasting. Each batch of bedding will have an environmental contaminant analysis report provided by the supplier, and will be used only after veterinary review and approval. Environmental conditions were controlled at room temperature of 20℃–26℃, relative humidity of 40%–70%, and alternating light and dark cycles for 12 hours. The light-dark cycle may be affected by experimental procedures. Temperature and humidity were monitored in real-time using the Vaisala ViewLinc monitoring system.
[0329] 1.4 Administration
[0330] On the day of the experiment, the animals in Group 1 were given a single gavage of compound (I) Q crystal form at a concentration of 0.3 mg / mL. The animals were weighed before administration and the volume of administration was calculated based on their weight.
[0331] 1.5 Selection of Dosage
[0332] Oral administration via gavage (0.3 mg / kg).
[0333] 1.6 Euthanasia
[0334] The animals were euthanized under CO2 anesthesia after the last PK sample was collected.
[0335] 1.7 Animal weight and clinical observation
[0336] On the day of administration, select animals of appropriate weight strictly according to the experimental protocol. Observe the overall health of the animals on the day of administration. Monitor the animals at each sample collection time point and each administration time point. Record any abnormalities accurately throughout the experiment.
[0337] 2 Sample Collection
[0338] 2.1 Drug Solution
[0339] After each formulation was prepared, three portions of the oral administration solution (upper, middle, and lower layers) were collected and analyzed by HPLC-UV to examine the accuracy of the formulation concentration.
[0340] 2.2 Sample Collection and Processing
[0341] Collect approximately 0.2 mL of whole blood at a specified time (or other suitable sampling site) via jugular vein puncture, and record the actual blood collection time in the experimental log. The acceptable error for collection time points is ±1 minute for time points within 1 hour of drug administration, and ±5% for other time points (theoretical time). All blood samples were immediately transferred to labeled commercially available centrifuge tubes containing K2-EDTA. After collection, the blood samples were centrifuged at 3200g for 10 minutes at 4°C, and the supernatant plasma was aspirated, rapidly placed on dry ice, and then stored at -60°C or lower for LC-MS / MS analysis.
[0342] 3 Sample Analysis
[0343] 3.1 Drug Solution
[0344] The concentration of the drug-eluting formulation should be determined using HPLC-UV, and the calibration curve should include at least six concentration levels. The actual measured concentration should be within 80% to 120% of the theoretical concentration; otherwise, pharmacokinetic parameters should be calculated based on the actual dose.
[0345] 3.2 Plasma Samples
[0346] The concentration of the test sample in plasma was determined using LC-MS / MS bioanalytical methods.
[0347] When analyzing samples using LC-MS / MS bioanalytical methods, each run batch must include at least one standard curve and two sets of quality control samples processed simultaneously. The number of quality control samples should be greater than 5% of the number of unknown samples. Calibration standards and quality control samples must be freshly prepared on the day of analysis.
[0348] The acceptance criteria for each analytical batch of standard curves include: each standard curve contains seven non-zero concentration calibration standards. The calculated concentrations of the calibration standards should be within ±20.0% of the labeled values, except for the lowest calibration standard, which should be within ±25.0%. At least 75% of the calibration standards in the standard curve should meet the acceptance criteria. If the lower or upper limit of quantitation of the standard curve does not meet the acceptance criteria, the limit of quantitation will be raised or lowered accordingly.
[0349] The acceptance criteria for quality control samples in each analytical batch include: each set of quality control samples must include at least three concentration levels (low, medium, and high), and the measured concentration of the quality control samples should be within ±20.0% of the labeled value. At least two-thirds of the quality control samples must meet the acceptance criteria.
[0350] Analyte interference: The mass spectrometry response of the analyte in double-blank and single-blank samples should be less than 50% of the limit of quantitation.
[0351] Residue: System residues are confirmed by immediately injecting a blank sample after injecting the highest concentration of calibration standard. The concentration of the analyte in the residue sample is less than or equal to the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ).
[0352] Experimental results: see Table 12.
[0353] Table 12 shows the in vivo pharmacokinetic results of compound Q crystal form (I).
