Description

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 2022111813611, filed on September 27, 2022. The entire contents of the aforementioned Chinese Patent Application are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This invention belongs to the field of drug synthesis technology, and specifically relates to a salt containing a spirocyclic derivative, its crystal form, preparation method, and application. Background Technology

[0003] Central nervous system disorders affect a wide range of people to varying degrees. Generally, these disorders are characterized by significant impairment in cognition or memory, and a marked deterioration in relatively primitive functional levels. Schizophrenia is a psychopathological disorder of unknown origin, typically first appearing in early adulthood, characterized by psychotic symptoms, progressive and developmental stages, and / or regression in social behavior and professional abilities. Symptoms of schizophrenia generally fall into three categories: positive symptoms, negative symptoms, and cognitive symptoms. Positive symptoms are those characterized by an "excessive" amount of normal experience, such as hallucinations and delusions. Negative symptoms are those characterized by a lack of normal experience, such as anhedonia and a lack of social interaction. Cognitive symptoms are associated with cognitive impairment in schizophrenia, such as a lack of sustained attention and impaired decision-making. Current antipsychotic medications are effective in treating positive symptoms, but are far from ideal for 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 major cause of brain function changes 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 the function of the prefrontal cortex (PFC), including emotion control, cognitive behavior, and working memory. PFC pyramidal neurons and GABA interneurons contain several serotonin receptor subtypes, 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A, with particularly high densities. Recently, it has been demonstrated that the PFC and NMDA receptor channels are targets of 5-HT1AR, both of which modulate excitatory neurons in the cerebral cortex, thereby affecting cognitive function. In fact, various preclinical data suggest that 5-HT1AR may be a novel target for antipsychotic drug development. The high affinity of atypical antipsychotics (such as olanzapine and aripiprazole) for 5-HT1AR and their low EPS side effects indicate that the serotonin system plays a crucial role in regulating PFC function, including mood control, cognitive behavior, and working memory. PFC pyramidal neurons and GABA interneurons contain several serotonin receptor subtypes, 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A, with particularly high density. Recent studies have shown that 5-HT1A agonists are associated with atypical antipsychotic treatment, improving negative symptoms and cognitive impairment.

[0005] In recent years, with the deepening research on classical biogenic amines, a second class of endogenous amine compounds, namely trace amines (TAs), has been discovered, including p-tyramine, β-phenylethylamine, tryptamine, and phenolethanolamine. Their levels in the mammalian nervous system are generally lower than those of classical biogenic amines, but they share similar characteristics with classical biogenic amines in terms of structure, metabolism, and subcellular localization. Trace amine-associated receptors (TAARs), as a new member of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family, have similar structures and pharmacological data to deep GPCR pharmacophores. Phylogenetic relationships of these receptor genes indicate that they form three distinct subfamilies, with TAAR1 being the first of four highly conserved genes (TAAR1-4) in humans and rodents. TAs activate TAAR1 through Gαs to exert their effects. Existing research shows that dysregulation of trace amine-associated receptors, particularly TAAR1, is closely linked to many psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and depression, as well as other conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), migraine, Parkinson's disease, substance abuse, and eating disorders. Therefore, TAAR ligands have high potential for treating these diseases.

[0006] Despite the availability of numerous medications for treating schizophrenia, a variety of adverse reactions persist in clinical use. Furthermore, while some antipsychotic drugs addressing negative symptoms have improved these symptoms in some patients, their overall effectiveness is limited. Many patients remain unable to fully recover and restore normal social functioning due to these negative symptoms, hindering their return to normal social work. Cognitive impairment is another key focus in schizophrenia treatment, affecting verbal memory, semantic processing, and attention in most patients. Currently available or marketed antipsychotic drugs offer limited improvement in cognitive function. Moreover, the treatment of treatment-resistant schizophrenia remains challenging. These patients have undergone treatment with three different antipsychotic drugs with varying active ingredients, receiving adequate dosage and duration, yet experiencing poor response or intolerance to the adverse effects of these drugs. Even with sufficient maintenance or preventative treatment, their condition may relapse or worsen. Therefore, developing effective treatments for treatment-resistant schizophrenia remains a significant challenge in clinical drug research and a direction that urgently needs to be addressed.

[0007] Currently, Sunovion's SEP-363856, which is in Phase III clinical trials, is a serotonin and / or trace amine-associated receptor agonist with significant activity against 5-HT1A and TAAR1 receptors, demonstrating good activity in existing clinical studies. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop antipsychotic drugs that offer good and sustained efficacy in treating negative symptoms, improving patients' cognitive function, effectively treating treatment-resistant schizophrenia, and also have low adverse drug reactions and act on multiple targets to meet the huge market demand.

[0069] Detailed description of the invention

[0070] The different terms "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.

[0071] "Optional" or "optionally" means that the event or environment described below may but does not have to occur, and the description includes the possibility or absence of such event or environment. For example, "optionally alkyl-substituted cycloalkyl" means that alkyl may but does not have to be present, and the description includes cases where cycloalkyl is substituted with alkyl and cases where cycloalkyl is not substituted with alkyl.

[0072] "Pharmaceutical composition" refers to a mixture containing one or more compounds described in this invention, or their physiologically / pharmaceutical acceptable salts or prodrugs, along with other chemical components, such as physiologically / pharmaceutical acceptable carriers, diluents, or excipients. The purpose of a pharmaceutical composition is to facilitate administration to a living organism, thereby promoting the absorption of the active ingredient and enabling it to exert its biological activity.

[0073] "Pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to the salt of the compounds of this invention, which is safe and effective when used in mammals and has the intended biological activity.

[0074] The term "polymorph" or "polymorphic compound" as used in this article refers to a crystal form with the same chemical composition but different spatial arrangements of the molecules, atoms, and / or ions constituting 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 similar properties. The relative stability between the two solid phases is interchanged based on their temperature-stability relationship. This phenomenon of compounds existing in different lattice structures is called pharmaceutical polymorphism.

[0075] Crystal structures disclosed or claimed in this invention may exhibit similar but not identical analytical properties within a reasonable margin of error, depending on experimental conditions, purity, equipment, and other commonly used 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 scope and spirit of this invention without departing from its scope. Other embodiments of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art based on consideration of the specification and practice of the invention disclosed herein. The applicant expects this specification and examples to be considered exemplary and not limiting of its scope.

[0076] "X-ray powder diffraction pattern or XRPD" refers to the pattern obtained according to Bragg's formula 2d sinθ=nλ (where λ is the wavelength of the X-ray). The diffraction order n can be any positive integer, generally taking the first-order diffraction peak (n=1). The "2θ or 2θ angle" mentioned refers to the diffraction angle, where θ is the Bragg angle, and the unit is ° or degree. When X-rays are incident at a grazing angle θ (the complementary angle of the incident angle, also known as the Bragg angle) onto an atomic plane of a crystal or a partial crystal sample with a lattice spacing of d, the Bragg equation is satisfied, thus allowing the measurement of this set of X-ray powder diffraction patterns.

[0077] As is known to those skilled in the art, XRPD may exhibit certain displacement and intensity deviations due to sample tiling thickness, detection methods, conditions, and instruments. Samples of the same crystal form typically possess the same major XRPD characteristic peaks, but operational errors may exist. When samples of the same crystal form obtained by those skilled in the art using appropriate methods are detected using the same instruments and methods, the characteristic peak error is usually within ±0.2°. However, different technicians using different instruments may occasionally encounter a few characteristic peaks with errors exceeding this range. Errors within ±0.5° or ±0.3° should be considered as XRPD characteristic peaks of the same crystal form. Therefore, as a specific example of the crystal form of this invention, its XRPD is shown in spectrum X. However, those skilled in the art understand that when the 2θ displacement deviation of the key characteristic peak is within ±0.5°, ±0.3°, or ±0.2°, especially around ±0.2°, it can be considered as the same crystal form and can be interpreted as within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0078] 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 effect of the selective orientation of the crystalline solid on the X-ray beam, the influence of coarse particles, the purity of the analyzed substance, or the degree of crystallinity of the sample. Additionally, the peak positions may shift depending on variations in sample height. Moreover, if different wavelengths are used for measurement, different shift values ​​are obtained according to the Bragg formula (nλ = 2dsinθ), and these different XRPD patterns obtained by using different wavelengths are also within the scope of this invention.

[0079] "Interplanar spacing or interplanar spacing (d-value)" refers to the division of a space lattice into juxtaposed parallelepiped units by three non-parallel unit vectors a, b, and c, which connect adjacent points. The space lattice is then divided according to these defined parallelepiped unit vectors, resulting in a linear grid called a space lattice or crystal lattice. Lattice and crystal lattice represent the periodicity of crystal structure using geometric points and lines, respectively. Different crystal planes have different interplanar spacings (i.e., the distance between two adjacent parallel crystal planes); the unit is 1 / d. Or E.

[0080] "Relative intensity (I%)" refers to the ratio of the intensity of other peaks to the intensity of the first strongest peak when the intensity of the first strongest peak in an X-ray powder diffraction pattern (XRPD) is 100%.

[0081] Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) determines the transition temperatures of a crystal when it absorbs or releases heat due to changes in its crystal structure or melting. For the same crystal form of the same compound, the error in thermal transition temperature and melting point can be within about 5°C, typically within about 3°C, in consecutive analyses. When describing a compound as having a given DSC peak or melting point, this refers to ±5°C of that DSC peak or melting point, essentially taking this temperature variation into account. DSC provides an auxiliary method for distinguishing different crystal forms. Different crystal forms can be identified based on their different transition temperature characteristics. It should be noted that for mixtures, their DSC peaks or melting points may vary over a wider range. Furthermore, since decomposition occurs during the melting process, the melting temperature is related to the heating rate.

[0082] Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is a common method for determining the thermal stability of compounds. In this invention, TGA can also be used to determine the hydration state of compounds. 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.

[0083] "Amorphous," "amorphous form," or "amorphous structure" refers to matter formed when the particles (molecules, atoms, ions) are arranged non-periodically in three-dimensional space. Its characteristic feature is a diffuse X-ray powder diffraction pattern without sharp peaks. Amorphous / amorphous is a special physical form of solid matter, and its locally ordered structural features suggest a close connection with crystalline substances.

[0084] "Equivalent" or its abbreviation "eq" is the equivalent amount of other raw materials required based on the equivalence relationship of a chemical reaction, using the basic raw materials used in each step as a reference (1 equivalent).

[0085] "Basically as shown in the figure" 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, or infrared spectrum are shown in the figure.

[0086] In the context of this invention, when the terms "about" or "approximately" are used, whether or not they are used, it means within 10% of a given value or range, appropriately within 5%, and particularly within 1%. Alternatively, for those skilled in the art, the term "about" or "approximately" means within an acceptable standard error range of the average. Whenever a number with a value of N is disclosed, any number having a value within N+ / -1%, N+ / -2%, N+ / -3%, N+ / -5%, N+ / -7%, N+ / -8%, or N+ / -10% is explicitly disclosed, where "+ / -" means addition or subtraction.

[0087] "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.
