[0030] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings, but the implementation of the invention is not limited thereto.
[0031] In the following embodiments:
[0032] X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) patterns were obtained using an Empyrean X-ray diffractometer under the following conditions: Cu-Kα radiation, wavelength... The divergence slit is 1 / 4°, the X-ray tube voltage is 45kV, the X-ray tube current is 40mA, the scanning range is 3-40° (2θ), the step size is 0.0262606°, and the dwell time per step is 30s.
[0033] DSC was performed using a Netzsch DSC 200F3 differential scanning calorimeter: experimental atmosphere, N2, 20 ml / min. Scanning program: temperature increased from room temperature to 260 °C at 10 °C / min, using an aluminum sample pan.
[0034] Example 1
[0035]
[0036] At room temperature, 2.36 g of AHU377 free acid, 2 g of EXP3174, and 40 mL of acetone were added to a 250 mL three-necked flask and dissolved. At room temperature, 1.6 equivalents of calcium hydroxide solid relative to AHU377 and 0.6 mL of water were added, and the mixture was stirred at 35 °C for 6 h. 40 mL of acetone was added, and the reaction was continued for another 8 h. The mixture was filtered through a Buchner funnel under nitrogen protection. The solid was washed with acetone to obtain a white solid, which was dried under vacuum at 50 °C for 8 h to obtain 3.1 g of crystalline α solid. (This experiment was repeated or scaled up to obtain a sufficient amount of raw material for subsequent experiments.) The molar ratio of EXP3174 to AHU377 free acid in the obtained product was 1:1, as determined by content analysis.
[0037] Example 2: Preparation of crystal form θ:
[0038] Repeat the experiment of Example 1. Weigh 1g of sample and stir in 2ml of DMSO solution for about 45min. After filtration through a 0.22um filter membrane, take 1ml of the sample DMSO solution and slowly add 25-70ml of mixed solvent (acetonitrile: methyl acetate: volume ratio 4:1) while shaking to mix. After the addition is complete, filter and evaporate in a glass bottle at 25℃±2℃ to obtain a crystalline solid. HPLC results: purity 99.98%, molar ratio 1:1, water 4.35% (calculated n=2).
[0039] The X-ray powder diffraction pattern and DSC of the compound are as follows: Figure 1 , 2 As shown.
[0040] Example 3: Preparation of crystal form θ:
[0041] Repeat the experiment of Example 1. Weigh 1g of sample and stir in 2ml of DMSO solution for about 45min. After filtration through a 0.22um filter membrane, take 1ml of the sample DMSO solution and then place it in 25-70ml of mixed solvent (acetonitrile:ethyl acetate: volume ratio 4:1) for diffusion. After 3 days, a crystalline solid was obtained. HPLC results: purity 99.91%, molar ratio 1:1, water content 4.05% (calculated n=2).
[0042] The X-ray powder diffraction pattern and DSC of the compound are as follows: Figure 3 , 4 As shown.
[0043] The X-ray powder diffraction peaks of Examples 2 and 3 are summarized in the table below, with an error range of ±0.2°:

[0045]
[0046] Example 4 Stability Study
[0047] (1) Crystal form θ of Example 2 was placed under different humidity levels for different times, and the crystal transformation was observed. The results are as follows:
[0048] sample condition result 1 Place for 1 hour under 75% RH conditions Crystal form θ 2 After being placed at 75% RH for 1 hour, then at 95% RH for 1 hour. Crystal form θ
[0049] The results showed that crystal form θ is stable in a humid environment.
[0050] (2) Crystallization in acetone: Add about 127 mg of crystal form θ to 0.5 ml of acetone and stir at room temperature. After stirring, the solid dissolves. Continue stirring to slowly precipitate the solid until it becomes too thick to stir. Stir for about 4 hours. Purge the solid with nitrogen until dry and measure XRD.
[0051] The results showed that crystal form θ transformed into crystal form α after stirring in acetone (crystal form θ had better solubility in acetone than the original crystal form, and its calcium content was consistent with the original crystal form), such as Figure 5 As shown.
[0052] Therefore, this crystal form is more easily dissolved in formulation processes using acetone as a solvent, and it can be used as an intermediate in the preparation of crystal form α.
[0053] The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the above embodiments. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be considered equivalent substitutions and shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
