Description

A salt containing a spirocyclic derivative, a crystal form thereof, and a preparation method and application thereof

[0001] This application claims the benefit of Chinese patent application No. 2022111813611 filed on September 27, 2022. This application incorporates the entirety of the aforementioned Chinese patent application. Technical Field

[0002] The present invention belongs to the technical field of drug synthesis, and particularly relates to a salt containing a spirocyclic derivative, a crystal form, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0003] Diseases of the central nervous system affect a wide range of people to varying degrees. Generally speaking, the main features of such diseases include significant impairment of cognition or memory, and a marked deterioration from the original level of functioning. Schizophrenia is a psychopathological disorder of unknown origin that usually first appears in early adulthood and is characterized by psychotic symptoms, stage progression and development, and / or deterioration in social behavior and professional abilities. The symptoms of schizophrenia are generally manifested in three categories: positive symptoms, negative symptoms, and cognitive symptoms. Positive symptoms are symptoms that represent an "excess" of normal experiences, such as hallucinations and delusions. Negative symptoms are symptoms that represent a lack of normal experiences, such as lack of pleasure and social interaction. Cognitive symptoms are related to the cognitive impairment of schizophrenia, such as lack of sustained attention and poor decision-making ability. Current antipsychotic drugs can successfully treat positive symptoms, but are far from ideal for treating negative and cognitive symptoms.

[0004] Biogenic amines play important roles as neurotransmitters in the central and peripheral nervous systems. The synthesis and storage of biogenic amines, as well as their degradation and reabsorption after release, are tightly controlled. Imbalances in biogenic amine levels are known to be a primary cause of altered brain function in many pathological conditions. Serotonin, norepinephrine, epinephrine, dopamine, and histamine, as classic biogenic amines, have been extensively studied. Among them, the serotonin system plays a crucial role in regulating functions in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), including emotional control, cognitive behavior, and working memory. Pyramidal neurons and GABA interneurons in the PFC contain several serotonin receptor subtypes, 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A, with particularly high densities. Recently, it has been demonstrated that PFC and NMDA receptor channels are targets of 5-HT1A receptors, which regulate excitatory neurons in the cerebral cortex, thereby influencing cognitive function. Indeed, various preclinical data suggest that the 5-HT1A receptor may be a novel target for antipsychotic drug development. The high affinity of atypical antipsychotics (e.g., olanzapine, aripiprazole) for 5-HT1A receptors and their low EPS side effects suggest that the serotonin system plays a crucial role in regulating PFC functions, including mood control, cognitive behavior, and working memory. PFC pyramidal neurons and GABA interneurons contain several serotonin receptor subtypes with particularly high densities, including 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A. Recent studies have demonstrated that 5-HT1A agonists are associated with atypical antipsychotic treatment and can improve negative symptoms and cognitive impairment.

[0005] In recent years, as research on the classic biogenic amines has deepened, a second class of endogenous amine compounds, the trace amines (TAs), has been discovered. These include p-tyramine, β-phenylethylamine, tryptamine, and octopamine. While their levels in the mammalian nervous system are generally lower than those of the classic biogenic amines, they share similar structural, metabolic, and subcellular localization characteristics. Trace amine-associated receptors (TAARs), a new member of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family, share structural similarities with the GPCR pharmacophore and pharmacological data consistent with those of the GPCRs. The phylogenetic relationships of these receptor genes indicate that they form three distinct subfamilies, with TAAR1 being the first of four genes (TAAR1-4) that are highly conserved between humans and rodents. TAARs activate TAAR1 through Gαs to exert their effects. Existing studies have shown that dysregulation of trace amine-associated receptors, particularly TAAR1, is closely linked to numerous psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and depression, as well as other conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, migraine, Parkinson's disease, substance abuse, and eating disorders. Therefore, TAAR ligands have high potential for treating these conditions.

[0006] Despite the availability of numerous medications for the treatment of schizophrenia, currently used schizophrenia medications still present a wide range of adverse reactions. Furthermore, while current antipsychotic drugs for the negative symptoms of schizophrenia have been used clinically and have improved negative symptoms in some patients, their overall effectiveness is limited. Many patients are still unable to recover and restore normal social function due to negative symptoms, making it difficult for them to resume normal social work. Furthermore, the treatment of cognitive impairment is currently a key focus of schizophrenia treatment, affecting verbal memory, semantic processing, and attention in most schizophrenia patients. However, currently developed or marketed antipsychotic drugs have very limited effects on cognitive function. Furthermore, the treatment of refractory schizophrenia remains a difficult problem. These patients have already received adequate doses and courses of treatment with three different antipsychotic drugs, but have not responded well to treatment or are unable to tolerate the adverse effects of antipsychotic drugs. Furthermore, even with adequate maintenance or preventive treatment, their condition relapses or worsens. Therefore, the development of drugs for the treatment of refractory schizophrenia remains a challenge in current clinical drug research and a direction that needs to be addressed urgently.

[0007] Currently in Phase III clinical trials, Sunovion's SEP-363856, a serotonin and / or trace amine-related receptor agonist, exhibits significant effects on 5-HT1A and TAAR1 receptors and has demonstrated promising activity in existing clinical studies. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop antipsychotic drugs that demonstrate robust and sustained negative symptom treatment efficacy, improve cognitive function, and effectively treat refractory schizophrenia. Furthermore, these drugs must have a low adverse reaction profile and act on multiple targets to meet the enormous market demand.

[0066] Detailed Description of the Invention

[0067] Different expressions such as “X is selected from A, B or C”, “X is selected from A, B and C”, “X is A, B or C”, and “X is A, B and C” all express the same meaning, that is, X can be any one or more of A, B, and C.

[0068] "Optional" or "optionally" means that the subsequently described event or circumstance may but need not occur, and that the description includes instances where the event or circumstance occurs and instances where it does not. For example, "cycloalkyl optionally substituted with alkyl" means that alkyl may but need not be present, and that the description includes instances where the cycloalkyl is substituted with alkyl and instances where the cycloalkyl is not substituted with alkyl.

[0069] A "pharmaceutical composition" refers to a mixture containing one or more compounds described herein, or their physiologically / pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs, along with other chemical components, and other components such as physiologically / pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, or excipients. The purpose of a pharmaceutical composition is to facilitate administration to an organism, facilitating absorption of the active ingredients and thereby exerting their biological activity.

[0070] "Pharmaceutically acceptable salts" refer to salts of the compounds of the present invention that are safe and effective when used in mammals and have the desired biological activity.

[0071] As used herein, "polymorph" or "polymorph" refers to a crystalline form having the same chemical composition but with different spatial arrangements of the molecules, atoms, and / or ions that make up the crystal. Although polymorphs have the same chemical composition, they differ in their packing and geometric arrangement and may exhibit different physical properties, such as melting point, shape, color, density, hardness, deformability, stability, solubility, dissolution rate, and the like. Depending on their temperature-stability relationship, the relative stability of the two solid phases is swapped. This phenomenon of a compound existing in different crystal lattice structures is known as pharmaceutical polymorphism.

[0072] The crystal structures equivalent to the crystal structures disclosed or claimed in the present invention may show similar but not identical analytical characteristics within a reasonable error range according to experimental conditions, purity, equipment and other common variables known to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made within the present invention without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. On the basis of considering the description and practice of the present invention disclosed herein, other embodiments of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Applicants expect that these descriptions and examples are considered exemplary, rather than limiting their scope.

[0073] "X-ray powder diffraction pattern or XRPD" means the powder diffraction pattern of a substance according to the Bragg formula 2d sinθ = nλ (where λ is the wavelength of the X-rays, The diffraction order n is any positive integer, generally taking the first order diffraction peak as n=1. The "2θ or 2θ angle" mentioned herein refers to the diffraction angle, with θ being the Bragg angle, measured in degrees. When X-rays strike an atomic plane with a lattice spacing of d in a crystal or a portion of a crystalline sample at a grazing angle θ (the complementary angle to the incident angle, also known as the Bragg angle), the Bragg equation is satisfied, resulting in the measured X-ray powder diffraction pattern.

[0074] It is well known to those skilled in the art that XRPD may produce certain displacement and intensity deviations due to reasons such as sample tiling thickness, detection method, conditions, and instrumentation. The same sample of the same crystal form usually has the same main XRPD characteristic peak, but there may be certain operating errors. When a person skilled in the art uses the same instrument and detection method to detect an isomorphous sample obtained by a corresponding method, the characteristic peak error is usually within ±0.2°. However, different technicians using different instruments may occasionally have errors in a few characteristic peaks that exceed this range. For example, errors within ±0.5° or ±0.3° should all be considered to belong to the XRPD characteristic peaks of the same crystal form. Therefore, as a specific example of the crystal form of the present invention, its XRPD is shown in Figure X, but it is understood by those skilled in the art that when the 2θ deviation of the key characteristic peak shift is within ±0.5°, ±0.3°, or ±0.2°, especially around ±0.2°, it can be identified as the same crystal form and can be interpreted as being within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0075] Furthermore, the absolute and relative intensities of the peaks shown in the aforementioned tables and figures may vary due to various factors, such as the effects of the selective orientation of the crystalline solid on the X-ray beam, the influence of coarse particles, the purity of the substance being analyzed, or the crystallinity of the sample. Furthermore, peak positions may shift due to variations in sample height. Furthermore, when measurements are performed using different wavelengths, different shift values ​​are obtained according to the Bragg formula (nλ = 2dsinθ). Such different XRPD patterns obtained using different wavelengths are also within the scope of the present invention.

[0076] "Interplanar spacing or interplanar spacing (d value)" refers to the selection of three non-parallel unit vectors a, b, and c connecting two adjacent lattice points in the space lattice. They divide the lattice into juxtaposed parallelepiped units, which are called interplanar spacing. The space lattice is divided according to the lines connecting the parallelepiped units to obtain a set of straight line grids, which are called space grids or lattices. The lattice and lattice respectively use geometric points and lines to reflect the periodicity of the crystal structure. Different crystal planes have different interplanar spacings (that is, the distance between two adjacent parallel crystal planes); the unit is Or angstrom.

[0077] “Relative intensity (I%)” refers to the ratio of the intensity of other peaks to the intensity of the first strongest peak among all diffraction peaks in an X-ray powder diffraction pattern (XRPD) when the intensity of the first strongest peak is 100%.

[0078] Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) measures the transition temperatures of a crystal when heat is absorbed or released due to changes in its crystal structure or melting. For the same crystalline form of the same compound, the thermal transition temperatures and melting points can be within about 5°C, and typically within about 3°C, in consecutive analyses. When a compound is described as having a given DSC peak or melting point, this is referred to as ±5°C relative to that peak or melting point, essentially taking this temperature variation into account. DSC provides an auxiliary method for distinguishing between different crystalline forms. Different crystalline forms can be identified by their distinct transition temperature signatures. It should be noted that for mixtures, the DSC peak or melting point may vary over a wider range. Furthermore, because decomposition occurs during melting, the melting temperature is related to the heating rate.

[0079] Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is a common method for determining the thermal stability of compounds. In the present invention, TGA can also be used to determine the hydration state of a compound. The heating rate during the test will have a certain impact on the spectrum. The error of TGA can be within approximately ±0.5% by mass.

[0080] "Amorphous," "amorphous form," or "amorphous form" refers to a substance whose particles (molecules, atoms, ions) are arranged in a three-dimensional space without periodicity. This is characterized by a diffuse, non-peaked X-ray powder diffraction pattern. Amorphous is a specialized physical form of solid matter, and its locally ordered structure suggests a close relationship to crystalline forms.

[0081] "Equivalent" or its abbreviation "eq" refers to the equivalent amount of other raw materials required based on the equivalent relationship of chemical reactions, with the basic raw material used in each step as the benchmark (1 equivalent).

[0082] “Substantially as shown” means that at least 50%, or at least 60%, or at least 70%, or at least 80%, or at least 90%, or at least 95%, or at least 99% of the peaks in the X-ray powder diffraction pattern, DSC pattern, Raman spectrum pattern, or infrared spectrum pattern are shown in the pattern.

[0083] In the context of the present invention, when or whether the word "about" or "approximately" is used, it means within 10%, suitably within 5%, and especially within 1% of a given value or range. Alternatively, for those of ordinary skill in the art, the term "about" or "approximately" means within an acceptable standard error of the mean. Whenever a number having a value of N is disclosed, any number having a value of N + / - 1%, N + / - 2%, N + / - 3%, N + / - 5%, N + / - 7%, N + / - 8% or N + / - 10% is specifically disclosed, where "+ / -" means plus or minus.

[0084] "Room temperature" refers to a temperature between 10°C and 40°C. In some embodiments, "room temperature" refers to a temperature between 15°C and 30°C; in other embodiments, "room temperature" refers to a temperature between 18°C ​​and 25°C. Beneficial effects

[0085] The hydrochloride crystal form of the compound of the present invention not only performs well in terms of product performance parameters such as melting point, solubility, solution stability and solid stability, but also shows obvious advantages in terms of bioavailability.
