[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Nos. 63 / 535,864 and 63 / 535,854, each filed August 31, 2023; 63 / 593,495 filed October 26, 2023; and 63 / 560,597 and 63 / 560,598, each filed March 1, 2024, the disclosure of each of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.2. FIELD
[0002] The present disclosure relates generally to dosage forms of N-(l-(2-chl oro-3 - fluorophenyl)-! -hydroxypentan-2 -yl)-7-fluoro-2-oxoindoline-4-carboxamide (Compound 1), pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms thereof, and therapeutic methods of using such compounds and pharmaceutical compositions. Such compounds may be useful in treating diseases, disorders, and conditions associated with alpha- 1 -antitrypsin.3. BACKGROUND
[0003] Alpha- 1 -antitrypsin or ai-antitrypsin (Al AT, sometimes referred to as AAT) is a protease inhibitor belonging to the serpin superfamily. It is a protein made in hepatocytes (as well as in other cells) and secreted into the blood where it functions to limit enzymatic activity of key proteases, in particular, neutrophil elastase. In its absence, the activity of key proteases including neutrophil elastase is unchecked resulting in excessive breakdown of elastin and connective tissues.
[0004] Alpha- 1 -antitrypsin or al -antitrypsin deficiency (A1ATD, also referred to as AATD or AATLD) is an autosomal co-dominant genetic disorder usually caused by mutations in the SERPINA1 gene. Most severe cases of Al ATD are caused by homozygosity for the mutant Z allele (protease inhibitor [Pi]ZZ), in which a single amino acid substitution (E342K) produces a thermodynamically unstable protein. This unstable protein readily forms an unstable intermediate which in turn accepts the reactive center loop (RCL) of other Al AT proteins, forming large intracellular polymers. As a result, the mutated Z form of the A1AT protein(Z-A1AT) is poorly secreted and a substantial reduction in the median plasma concentration of Al AT is observed. The organ most commonly affected by accumulation of Z-A1AT is the liver,where polymer accumulation can lead to liver fibrosis and other forms of liver damage. Liver fibrosis is commonly measured in stages, e.g., as stage 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4. On this scale, stage 0 indicates a healthy liver (i.e., a liver essentially free of fibrosis) whereas stage 4 is the most severe stage and indicates cirrhosis. Stages 1-3 indicate progressively more severe intermediate stages of fibrosis that are not yet cirrhosis. Polymers of Z-Al AT are also found in other tissues including blood, lungs, and skin. Polymers have been shown to be pro-inflammatory and may contribute to pathology in tissues where they are found, particularly the lung and the skin.
[0005] Heterozygous carriage of the Z mutation (PiMZ genotype) acts as a disease modifier in individuals with co-existing liver disease caused by another etiology such as alcohol, viral hepatitis, or MASH (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis). PiMZ individuals with MASH have a higher risk of cirrhosis, comparable or greater than risks associated with well- established risk variants in MASH such as patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3 (PNPLA3) gene.
[0006] Liver fibrosis, which is one of the hallmark pathophysiologies in the progression of Al AT-associated liver disease, is a variable process. In a 3-year longitudinal study of 98 adults with Al AT-associated liver disease, 37.2% of patients had fibrosis progression of at least one stage, 47.1% of patients had no change in fibrosis stage and 15.1% had an improvement in fibrosis by one stage (biopsy sampling variability may be an alternative explanation for the cases of regression, progression, and stability of fibrosis) (see e.g., Clark et al., Hepatology. 2021 ; 74(S1):25). Findings from other liver conditions have shown that the risk for progression to liver-related events is minimal amongst patients with mild fibrosis at presentation. However, the risk and the speed of progression increase with greater fibrotic burden (see e.g., Bruden et al., Hepatology, 2017;66(l):37-45; Hagstrbm et al., J Hepatol. 2017; 67(6): 1265-73; and Sanyal et al., N Engl J Med. 2021; 385(17): 1559-69). While this may imply that only those with moderate-to-severe fibrosis represent the population of concern, as in other liver diseases, a residual risk for de novo hepatocellular carcinoma may exist even at lower fibrosis stages or in treated disease (e.g., having achieved removal of a primary etiological factor for hepatocellular carcinoma), suggesting that early intervention may be beneficial (see e.g., de Franchis et al., J Hepatol. 2022; 76(4):959-74 and Semmler et al., J Hepatol. 2022;76(4):812-21).
[0007] Further, currently, there are no approved pharmacologic therapies for Al AT- associated liver disease for individuals with either PiZZ or PiMZ genotypes, and diseasemanagement focuses on supportive measures or transplant in the setting of end-stage disease. At present, liver transplantation is the only approved treatment option for patients with advanced chronic liver disease due to Al AT-associated liver disease (typically who have cirrhosis with decompensation events, and / or hepatocellular carcinoma). Like many other rare diseases, Al AT- associated liver disease faces numerous challenges with drug development. There is a lack of precedent for drug development, the natural history of the disease is poorly understood and there is considerable phenotypic diversity. Small populations restrict study design and replication and sensitive, specific, well defined and validated surrogate endpoints and biomarkers are lacking. Indeed, Vertex has initiated and subsequently terminated four different clinical trials of drugs (VX-668, VX-634, VX-864, and VX-81) targeting AATD due to issues relating to suboptimal pharmacokinetics and adverse effects. Centessa likewise initiated a clinical trial with ZF874and subsequently terminated due to liver toxicities.
[0008] Although N-(l-(2-chloro-3-fluorophenyl)-l-hydroxypentan-2-yl)-7-fluoro-2- oxoindoline-4-carboxamide (herein “Compound 1”) has been identified as potentially therapeutic in treating Al AT-associated liver disease (see, e.g., US20220340525A1), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, pharmaceutical compositions of Compound 1 having satisfactory stability, bioavailability, workability, etc. are not available. Further no studies have been done to determine if Compound 1 has any therapeutic effect in humans. Therefore, a need exists for a process to not only prepare Compound 1 as a pharmaceutically-acceptable composition suitable for human use and manufacturable, particularly on a commercial scale, that is, safe, efficient, economically viable, has long term stability, and has bioavailability upon administration, especially oral administration but also to provide a pharmaceutical composition that can most effectively be utilized to treat and / or prevent the progression of AlAT-associated liver disease in a patient population having little to no treatment options currently available.4.

[0072] Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the meaning commonly understood by a person skilled in the art of the present disclosure. As used herein, the following terms have the meanings ascribed to them below, unless specified otherwise.
[0073] In some embodiments, chemical structures are disclosed with a corresponding chemical name. In case of conflict, the chemical structure controls the meaning, rather than the name.
[0074] Unless specifically stated or obvious from context, as used herein, the term "or" is understood to be inclusive. Unless specifically stated or obvious from context otherwise, as used herein, the terms “a”, “an”, and “the” are understood to be singular or plural.
[0075] The term “subject” to which administration is contemplated includes, but is not limited to, humans (i.e., a male or female of any age group, e.g., a pediatric subject (e.g., infant,child, adolescent) or adult subject (e.g., young adult, middle-aged adult or senior adult)) and / or other primates (e.g., cynomolgus monkeys, rhesus monkeys); mammals, including commercially relevant mammals such as cattle, pigs, horses, sheep, goats, cats, rats, mice, and / or dogs; and / or birds, including commercially relevant birds such as chickens, ducks, geese, quails, and / or turkeys. In certain embodiments, the subject is a human. As used herein and unless otherwise specified, the terms “treatment” and “treating” refer to therapeutic or palliative measures. Beneficial or desired clinical results include, but are not limited to, alleviation, in whole or in part, of symptoms associated with a disease, disorder, or condition, diminishment of the extent of disease, stabilized (i.e., not worsening) state of disease, delay or slowing of disease progression, amelioration or palliation of the disease state (e.g., one or more symptoms of the disease), and remission (whether partial or total), whether detectable or undetectable. “Treatment” can also mean prolonging survival as compared to expected survival if not receiving treatment. In one embodiment, “treatment” comprises administration of a therapeutic after manifestation of the unwanted condition (i.e., it is intended to diminish, ameliorate, or stabilize the existing unwanted condition or side effects thereof). In some particular embodiments, “treatment” can mean reducing rate at which Al AT polymers accumulate in the liver, or preferably halting the accumulation of A1AT polymers in the liver, or more preferably reducing the amount of A1AT polymers in the liver (“amount” in this context is usually measured as a concentration but might also refer to weight.) In some particular embodiments, “treatment” can mean increasing the secretion of A1AT from the liver, usually as measured by an increase in the concentration of unpolymerized A1AT outside of the liver, particularly in the plasma.
[0076] In some particular embodiments, “treatment” can mean slowing the progression, halting progression (e.g., stabilization), or reversing liver fibrosis.
[0077] An “effective amount,” as used herein, refers to an amount that is sufficient to achieve a desired biological effect. A “therapeutically effective amount,” as used herein, refers to an amount that is sufficient to achieve a desired therapeutic effect. In some particular embodiments, “effective amount” can mean an amount effective for reducing rate at which A1AT polymers accumulate in the liver, or preferably effective for halting the accumulation of Al AT polymers in the liver, or more preferably effective for reducing the amount of Al AT polymers in the liver (“amount” in this context is usually measured as a concentration but might also refer to weight.) In some particular embodiments, “effective amount” can mean an amounteffective for increasing the secretion of Al AT from the liver, usually as measured by an increase in the concentration of Al AT outside of the liver, particularly in the plasma.
[0078] As used herein, the terms “sufficient amount” and “effective amount” are used interchangeably.
[0079] As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, the terms “about” and “approximately,” when used in connection with doses, amounts, or weight percent of ingredients of a composition or a dosage form, mean a dose, amount, or weight percent that is recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art to provide a pharmacological effect equivalent to that obtained from the specified dose, amount, or weight percent. In certain embodiments, the terms “about” and “approximately,” when used in this context, contemplate a dose, amount, or weight percent within 30%, within 20%, within 15%, within 10%, or within 5%, of the specified dose, amount, or weight percent.
[0080] The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable” is employed herein to refer to those compounds, materials, compositions, and / or dosage forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of a subject without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio.
[0081] As used herein and unless otherwise specified, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to those salts which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of subjects without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, and the like, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, Berge et al. describes pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences (1977) 66: 1-19. In certain embodiments, pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to, alkyl, dialkyl, trialkyl or tetraalkyl ammonium salts. In certain embodiments, pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to, L-arginine, benenthamine, benzathine, betaine, calcium hydroxide, choline, deanol, diethanolamine, diethylamine, 2-(diethylamino)ethanol, ethanolamine, ethylenediamine, N-methylglucamine, hydrabamine, IH-imidazole, lithium, L-lysine, magnesium, 4-(2- hydroxyethyljmorpholine, piperazine, potassium, l-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyrrolidine, sodium, triethanolamine, tromethamine, dicyclohexylammonium, and zinc salts. In certain embodiments, pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to, Na, Ca, K, Mg, Zn, or othermetal salts. Pharmaceutically acceptable anionic salts include, but are not limited to, acetate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, besylate, bicarbonate, bitartrate, bromide, camsylate, carbonate, chloride, citrate, decanoate, edetate, esylate, fumarate, gluceptate, gluconate, glutamate, glycolate, hexanoate, hydroxynaphthoate, iodide, isethionate, lactate, lactobionate, malate, maleate, mandelate, mesylate, methyl sulfate, mucate, napsylate, nitrate, octanoate, oleate, pamoate, pantothenate, phosphate, polygalacturonate, propionate, salicylate, stearate, acetate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, teoclate, and tosylate. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts, such as those described herein, can also exist as various solvates, such as with water, methanol, ethanol, dimethylformamide, and the like. Mixtures of such solvates can also be prepared. The source of such solvate can be from the solvent of crystallization, inherent in the solvent of preparation or crystallization, or adventitious to such solvent.
[0082] As used herein, “trace amount” means an amount of a component, for example, a liquid solvent or citric acid, that either has no meaningful effect on the pharmaceutically relevant properties of the dispersion (e.g., flux, solubility, bioavailability) or that, in the face of sound scientific or medical judgement, would be considered an acceptable level of impurity for the material described, such as a liquid solvent or citric acid, or both.
[0083] As used herein, “admixture” means more than one component mixed together to form a combination. For purposes of the present invention, “admixture” means the mixture of two or more compounds at any time prior or subsequent to, or concomitant with, administration. In particular embodiments, admixtures are homogeneous mixtures of their components; however, this is not required unless otherwise specified because heterogeneous mixtures may also provide beneficial results in some cases.
[0084] As used herein, unless otherwise specified “fibrosis” refers to liver fibrosis (and not to other forms of fibrosis, such as myocardial fibrosis), and is measured by an art-recognized scale, e.g., the METAVIR scoring system, Knodell score / Histological Activity Index (HAI), or the Batts and Ludwig system. In a typical scoring system, fibrosis severity is indicated by a stage, usually stage 0 to stage 4, wherein stage 0 indicates a healthy liver (z.e., a liver essentially free of fibrosis), stage 4 indicates cirrhosis of the liver (the most severe form of fibrosis), and stages 1-3 indicate progressively more severe intermediate forms of fibrosis that have not progressed to cirrhosis (see, e.g., Chowdhury, A.B., Mehta, K.J., “Liver biopsy for assessment of chronic liver diseases: a synopsis,” Clin Exp Med 23, 273-285 (2023).
[0085] As used herein, “sink conditions” refer to conditions used in pharmaceutical dissolution testing to describe a process that ensures the dissolution rate of a drug is not affected by the amount of drug already dissolved in the media. Sink conditions are typically achieved by using a volume of solvent that is 3-10 times greater than the volume of a saturated solution of the drug being tested.
[0086] As used herein, a PiZ* genotype refers to a genotype, wherein the individual has at least one PiZ allele. Examples of genotypes within the PiZ* genotype are the PiZZ genotype, wherein the subject has two PiZ alleles, and the PiMZ genotype, wherein the individual has one PiZ allele and one normal PiM allele.
[0087] As used herein, AlAT-associated liver disease (or AlATD-associated liver disease) refers to a disease or condition (e. , in a stage not yet severe enough to receive a disease diagnosis) that is caused by or characterized by a deficiency in alpha- 1 antitrypsin. Such disease or condition may be characterized by the presence of liver fibrosis which can, over time, lead to inflammation and cell injury of the liver. Non-limiting examples of AlAT-associated liver diseases include hepatitis, hepatic fibrosis, hepatic cirrhosis, cholestasis, metabolic dysfunction- associated steatohepatitis, liver cancer, or liver disease caused in part by or exacerbated by alcohol use.

[0107] In one embodiment, a pharmaceutical composition comprises a plurality of granules, wherein each granule comprises Compound 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, particularly Compound 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable solvate thereof and more particularly Compound 1, dispersed in at least one polymer (“solid dispersion”). In some embodiments, each granule in the plurality of granules further comprises one or more intragranular excipients. In some embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition comprises (a) a plurality of granules, wherein each granule comprises Compound 1 dispersed with a polymer in a solid dispersion; and (b) one or more extra-granular excipients. Further characteristics of the solid dispersion according to any of the foregoing embodiments is discussed in further detail in Section 6.3.1. Further characteristics of the granules according to any of the foregoing embodiments, including intragranular excipients, is discussed in further detail in Section 6.3.2. More specific description of the pharmaceutical composition according to any of the foregoingembodiments, including extra-granular excipients and exemplary formulations, is discussed in further detail in Section 6.3.3.6.3.1 Solid Dispersions
[0108] As described herein, Compound 1, and particularly Compound 1-A is highly bioavailable when dissolved in liquid vehicles made up of propylene glycol, caprylocaproyl macrogol-8 glycerides (available under the trade designation LABRASOL®), and the like. While such vehicles may be acceptable for experimental administration to animals, they are not necessarily acceptable for clinical administration to humans at the volumes necessary to provide adequate doses to humans. Thus, a problem is how to make a solid dosage form containing Compound 1, particularly Compound 1-A, which provides good bioavailability of Compound 1, and particularly of Compound 1-A.
[0109] As further described herein, it has been found as a solid, Compound 1, and more particularly Compound 1-A, tends to be highly crystalline, for example, 80, 85, 90, 95, or 100% crystalline, as measured according to a technique known to one of ordinary skill in the art. As disclosed herein, it has been found that solid crystalline Compound 1-A has a poor dissolution profde in relevant biological liquids, such as water at biological pH and simulated intestinal fluid (SIF). Similarly, Compound 1, and more particularly Compound 1-A, has poor flux through gastric epithelium, such as the gastric epithelium of a mammal and particularly human gastric epithelium. That is to say, it has been found that Compound 1, and more particularly Compound 1-A, is poorly dissolved and has poor flux (e.g., through the gastric epithelium). Among other variables, one of ordinary skill in the art will understand that poor flux makes it difficult to achieve bioavailability of a therapeutically effective amount of Compound 1, and more particularly Compound 1-A, in a subject following administration of a solid dosage form, particularly a solid oral dosage form, such as a sachet, tablet, or capsule.
[0110] Thus, one problem that arises in developing pharmaceutical formulations of Compound 1-A that have sufficient bioavailability is how to improve the dissolution and bioavailability of solid Compound 1 and particularly Compound 1-A. Another problem to be solved is how to improve the flux (e.g., through the gastric epithelium) of Compound 1 and particularly Compound 1-A, particularly when present in a solid dosage form. Yet another problem is how to improve the flux (e.g, through the gastric epithelium) of Compound 1 and particularly Compound 1-A when present in a solid dosage form. Still another problem can bearticulated as how to make a solid dosage form, and more particularly a solid oral dosage form, containing Compound 1, and particularly Compound 1-A, wherein Compound 1, and more particularly Compound 1-A, have sufficient bioavailability that the solid dosage form or solid oral dosage form can provide a therapeutically effective amount of Compound 1, more particularly Compound 1-A, when administered to a subject.
[0111] Successful solutions to this problem are surprising. As described in detail herein, and particularly with reference to the Examples section, Compound 1, and more particularly Compound 1-A, were tested for compatibility with common pharmaceutical surfactant and solubilizer excipients. However, those surfactants and solubilizer excipients were not compatible with Compound 1, and more particularly Compound 1-A, because they caused an unacceptable degree of degradation. Although Compound 1 was not incompatible with sodium docusate, sodium docusate is an active pharmaceutical compound that is used for treating constipation, and it is not considered to be an appropriate excipient to achieve the required solubility.
[0112] As further described herein, and with particular reference to the Examples section, nanomilling of Compound 1, and more particularly Compound 1-A, in the presence of a polymeric excipient (e.g., as the milling matrix) provides smaller particles of the compound. Smaller particles are typically more readily dissolved, and the solubility of some such nanomilled material was improved. However, nanomilling did not improve the flux.
[0113] As additionally described herein, Compound 1, and particularly Compound 1-A, was prepared as an amorphous solid. While the amorphous solid was more readily dissolved than the crystalline form, and also showed improved flux, it reverted to the low-solubility crystalline form relatively quickly. A solution to the problem, as more fully described herein, is the use of pharmaceutical compositions specially designed to provide a means for sustaining the amorphous Compound 1, and particularly Compound 1-A, or a pharmaceutically salt or solvate thereof, in the amorphous form. In one embodiment, the means for sustaining the amorphous nature of Compound 1, and particularly Compound 1-A, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of solvate thereof, is by forming a solid dispersion of Compound 1, and particularly Compound 1- A, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, with at least one polymer. More particularly, provided herein is a pharmaceutical composition that comprises a solid dispersion of an active pharmaceutical ingredient comprising one or more stereoisomers of Compound 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof in a solid, amorphous form and at least onepolymer that sustains the one or more stereoisomers of Compound 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof in amorphous form.

[0133] Advantageously, by dispersing Compound 1 (or any stereoisomer thereof) together with a polymer disclosed herein, a stable pharmaceutical composition having an acceptable dissolution profde and an acceptable flux may be produced. One of skill in the art will readily recognize various methods that can be used to assess and measure the dissolution profde of a pharmaceutical composition or dosage form. For example, the Paddle Method (Apparatus II) can be used to dissolve the dosage form or pharmaceutical composition containing the drug, e.g., Compound 1 (or 1-A, 1-B, 1-C, or 1-D) and any suitable analysis method, such as UV-Vis or titration can be used to quantify the amount of drug concentration in the dissolution medium.Any suitable dissolution media may be used, e.g., phosphate buffer solution (pH 6.8), hydrochloric acid solution (pH 1.2), acetate buffer solution (pH 4.5), buffered water, simulated gastric fluid, or simulated intestinal fluid. In one embodiment, a phosphate buffer solution at pH 6.8 is used. Typical paddle rotation speeds are about 50 rpm to about 100 rpm and dissolution profiles are typically measured at about 37 °C (e.g., 37 ± 0.5 °C).

[0164] In one embodiment, the mass of solid, amorphous Compound 1 (more particularly Compound 1-A), pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or pharmaceutically acceptable solvate thereof in such a solid dispersion does not decrease by more than 0.25% after four months storage at 40 °C (+ / - 2 °C) and 75% (+ / - 5%) relative humidity or at ambient conditions.
[0165] In one embodiment, the mass of solid, amorphous Compound 1 (more particularly Compound 1-A), pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or pharmaceutically acceptable solvate thereof in such a solid dispersion does not decrease by more than 0.25% after twelve months storage at 40 °C (+ / - 2 °C) and 75% (+ / - 5%) relative humidity or at ambient conditions.
[0166] In principle, a solid dispersion as discussed herein can be made by any suitable method, such as methods known in the art.
[0167] One exemplary method is co-melting. In one embodiment that demonstrates an exemplary use of co-melting, a method of preparing a solid dispersion comprises: contacting an active pharmaceutical ingredient comprising one or more of Compound 1-A, 1-B, 1-C, and 1-D:1-B 1-D or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof in a molten state with at least one polymer in a molten state to form a melt; mixing the melt; and cooling the melt to form a solid dispersion.
[0168] In one embodiment, co-melting comprises admixing the components of the solid dispersion, such as Compound 1-A, 1-B, 1-C, and 1-D or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, and more particularly Compound 1-A or, a pharmaceutically acceptable solvate thereof, and the polymer, wherein at least one, and, in some embodiments, all, of the components are in a molten state. In one embodiment, both components are co-melted and mixed as a comelt. In one embodiment, for example, when one of the components has a higher melting pointthan the other, the lower-melting point component may be melted first and then the lower melting-point component may be added as a solid and the solid dispersion is formed mixing. In one embodiment, the mixing step is performed with an extruder, such as a single-screw extruder or a twin-screw extruder, though other mixing methods can be used. The mixture may be cooled, e.g., after extrusion, to provide the solid dispersion. When this method is employed, Compound 1-A, 1-B, 1-C, and 1-D or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, need not be in amorphous form before it is melted. Prior to melting, Compound 1-A, 1-B, 1-C, and 1-D or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, can be crystalline, either in a single crystal form or a mixture of crystal forms, amorphous, or a mixture of one or more crystal forms with amorphous material. Without wishing to be bound by theory, this is possible because melting a crystalline form into a liquid will cause it to lose its long-range order and, after the co-melting is complete, it can cool to form an amorphous solid in a solid dispersion with the polymer, and, if employed, the other components of the solid dispersion. Similarly, in most cases, either a solvate or anhydrous form of Compound 1-A, 1-B, 1-C, and 1-D may be used because a solvent typically evaporates during the melting process.[00169J Other exemplary methods of making a solid dispersion include solvent-based methods, but are not limited to, such as lyophilizing and spray-drying. In one embodiment, a method of preparing a solid dispersion comprises: contacting an active pharmaceutical ingredient comprising one or more of Compound 1-A, 1-B, 1-C, and 1-D:1-B 1-Dor a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof in a solid, amorphous form and at least one polymer with a liquid to form a solution or liquid dispersion; and lyophilizing or spray drying the solution to form a solid dispersion.
[0170] In one embodiment, the lyophilizing or spray drying to form a solid dispersion comprises spray drying to form a solid dispersion. Optionally, the method further comprises a step of drying the solid dispersion.
[0171] In the solvent-based methods, such as a lyophilizing or a spray drying method, and particularly a spray drying method, as discussed above, the active pharmaceutical ingredient and the polymer, along with other components, if employed, are contacted with a liquid to dissolve, or disperse the active pharmaceutical ingredients and, optionally, other component(s) therein.
[0172] In one embodiment, the liquid is a solvent (z.e., is capable of dissolving at least in part) the active pharmaceutical ingredient, the at least one polymer, or both. Therefore, in one embodiment, the active pharmaceutical ingredient and the at least one polymer may be contacted with a liquid to form a solution or a suspension.
[0173] The liquid is selected to disperse or, preferably, to dissolve the active pharmaceutical ingredient, the polymer, or both, and optionally other components (if any) of the solid dispersion. The liquid can also be selected to provide a high concentration of the components of the solid dispersion. In some embodiments, high concentrations can be advantageous because using less liquid can reduce the cost of materials as well as the energy needed to spray dry or lyophilize.
[0174] Exemplary liquids include, but are not limited to, volatile organic solvents. In one embodiment, the liquid comprises one or more of acetone, dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran, ethanol, methanol, and propanol. In one embodiment, the liquid comprises methanol or acetone. In a further embodiment, the liquid comprises or consists of acetone.
[0175] The identity and amounts of components used to prepare a solid dispersion are the same as those components (including amounts) as described with respect to characteristic the solid dispersion herein. In most cases, the ratio of components inputted into any of the aforementioned processes will be the same as the ratio of components in the final solid dispersion.
[0176] For example, in one embodiment, the composition comprising the active pharmaceutical ingredient comprises no more than about 2%, no more than 1.5%, no more than 1%, no more than 0.5%, no more than 0.25%, or no more than 0.1% of any one of Compound 1-B, Compound 1-C, and Compound 1-D by weight based on the combined weight of Compound 1-A, Compound 1-B, Compound 1-C, and Compound 1-D, if present, in the composition.
[0177] In one embodiment, the composition comprising the active pharmaceutical ingredient consists essentially of Compound 1-A. In one embodiment, the active pharmaceutical ingredient contains 1.5% (e.g., 0% to 1.5%, no more than 0.5%, no more than 0.75%, no more than 1%, or no more than 1.25%) of Compounds 1-A, 1-B, 1-C, and 1-D).
[0178] In another example, the composition comprising the active pharmaceutical ingredient comprises no less than about 98%, no less than 98.5%, no less than 99%, no less than 99.25%, no less than 99.5%, or no less than 99.75% by weight of Compound 1-A based on the combined weight of Compound 1-A, Compound 1-B, Compound 1-C, and Compound 1-D in the composition.
[0179] In any aforementioned embodiment, the active pharmaceutical ingredient may be contacted with the polymer in an amount according to any embodiment disclosed herein. For example, in one embodiment, the active pharmaceutical ingredient comprises Compound 1-A. In one embodiment, the active pharmaceutical ingredient consists of Compound 1-A.
[0180] In any aforementioned embodiment, the at least one polymer may be any polymer disclosed herein, such as in Section 6.3.1. In one embodiment, the at least one polymer is not a surfactant. In one embodiment, the at least one polymer is an acidic polymer. In one embodiment, the at least one polymer comprises one or more of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), a copolymer comprising HPMC, one or more esters of HPMC, a copolymer comprising one or more esters of HPMC, an enteric copolymer, polyvinylpyrrolidone, or a copolymer comprising polyvinylpyrrolidone. In one embodiment, the at least one polymer comprises HPMC, a copolymer comprising HPMC, ester or esters of HPMC, or a copolymer comprising ester or esters of HPMC. In yet another embodiment, the at least one polymer comprises one or more esters of HPMC. In yet a further embodiment, the at least one polymer comprises one or more esters of HPMC wherein the esters of HPMC comprise one or more of acetate ester and succinate ester. In one embodiment, the esters of HPMC comprise hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS).
[0181] The choice of method to be employed will depend on the properties of the polymer and any other components of the solid dispersion, as well as factors of convenience. For example, if the polymer or other component of the solid dispersion is not stable at its meltingtemperature or the melting temperature of the form of the active pharmaceutical ingredient that is employed, then the co-melting method may be inappropriate and a solvent-based method, such as lyophilization or spray drying, may be preferred. On the other hand, if a very large amount of solvent is required to dissolve the active pharmaceutical ingredient and the polymer and other components of the solid dispersion, then the co-melting method may be preferred.6.3.2 Granules
[0182] In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein comprise a solid dispersion according to any embodiment described in section 6.3.1 in the form of a powder or a monolith. In one embodiment, the solid dispersion, particularly when the solid dispersion is in the form of a powder, may be combined with one or more intragranular excipients to form a plurality of granules.
[0183] The nature and amount of the intragranular excipients will depend on the nature and desired properties of the final composition, for example, the pharmaceutical dosage form for administration. For example, in one embodiment, the final composition is a compressed tablet, and the intragranular excipients include excipients suitable for compression. In another embodiment, the final composition is a powder-in-capsule and the excipients may include even those not suitable for compression. In another embodiment, the final composition is a powder sachet to be sprinkled on food or drink and consumed, and the excipients include sweeteners or taste-masking excipients. Excipients may be selected from those listed in the US Pharmacopeia; however, this is not required in all cases because other excipients may also be suitable.
[0184] In one embodiment, the one or more intragranular excipients selected from the group consisting of one or more filler, one or more disintegrant, one or more glidant, one or more lubricant, one or more binder, or any combination thereof. Encompassed herein is any combination of the specific intragranular excipients mentioned below.
[0185] In one embodiment, the one or more intragranular excipients comprises a filler. Examples of suitable fillers include, but are not limited to, starch, powdered cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, silicified microcrystalline cellulose, calcium phosphate, calcium sulfate, lactose, sucrose, mannitol, sorbitol, xylitol, dextrose, crystalline maltose, and maltodextrins. In one embodiment, the filler is mannitol.
[0186] In one embodiment, the one or more intragranular excipients comprises a disintegrant.

[0189] Examples of suitable binders include, but are not limited to, gums (e.g., guar gum, xanthan gum, acacia, tragacanth), pregelatinized starches or cross-linked starches, and celluloses (e.g, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, carboxymethylcellulose sodium).
[0190] In principle, the minimum amount, or percent of, the solid dispersion in the granules is limited only by the total mass of granules needed to provide an effective dose of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (e.g., Compound 1 and particularly Compound 1-A, plus any other active agent if employed). A lower amount or percent of solid dispersion will require a higher mass of granules to achieve a particular dose as opposed to a higher amount or percent, which could be a limiting factor in some cases, for example, a tablet which needs to be a suitable size for oral administration. Conversely, the maximum amount or percent of the solid dispersion in the granules is limited in principle by either the need to have the function of the intragranular excipients (e.g., a need to have sufficient disintegrant to ensure disintegration), or a need to increase the total mass of the granules in the pharmaceutical composition (e.g, to have a sufficient mass to compress into a tablet or reproducibly fill into a capsule).
[0191] In one embodiment, the granules in the plurality of granules comprise, on average, about 20% to about 75% (w / w) of the solid dispersion according to any embodiment described in section 6.3.1.

In one embodiment, the mass of Compound 1-A in the granules does not decrease by more than 5% after four weeks at 40 °C and 75% relative humidity.
[0192] The granules as described herein can be made by any suitable method. Exemplary methods include fluid bed granulation, high-sheer mixing, liquid granulation, and dry granulation. The method employed will depend on a variety of factors known to the person of skill in the art, such as the nature of the intragranular excipients, the ultimate form of the pharmaceutical composition to be produced, and the like.6.3.3 Extra-granular Excipients and Exemplary Dosage Forms
[0193] The nature and amount of the extra-granular excipients will depend in large part on the nature and desired properties of the final composition, for example, the pharmaceutical dosage form for administration. For example, in one embodiment, the final composition is a compressed tablet, and the extra-granular excipients include excipients suitable for compression. In another embodiment, the final composition is a powder-in-capsule and the extra-granular excipients may include even those not suitable for compression. In another embodiment, the final composition is a powder sachet to be sprinkled on food or drink and consumed, and the extra- granular excipients include sweeteners or taste-masking excipients. Excipients may be selectedfrom those listed in the US Pharmacopeia; however, this is not required in all cases because other suitable extra-granular excipients may also be suitable.
[0194] In one embodiment, the plurality of granules comprising a solid dispersion may be combined with one or more extra-granular excipients to generate a pharmaceutical composition suitable for administration to a subject. In one embodiment, the one or more extra-granular excipients are selected from the group consisting of one or more compression excipients, one or more disintegrants, one or more glidants, one or more lubricants, one or more binders, one or more fillers, and any combination thereof.

[0321] In these examples, N-[(lR)-l-[(S)-(2-chloro-3-fluorophenyl)hydroxymethyl]butyl]-7- fluoro-2,3-dihydro-2-oxo-lH-indole-4-carboxamide is sometimes abbreviated “API”.Analytical Methods
[0322] HPLC
[0323] In the following examples, unless otherwise specified, HPLC analyses are performed with a Waters Acquity H-CLASS system with UV Detection equipped with an Acquity UPLC CSH-C18 (1.7 pm, 2.1 x 100 mm) column (Waters Corporation, Milford, MA, USA). Thecolumn temperature was 45 + / - 2 °C and the auto sampler temperature was 5 + / - 3 °C. Samples were injected as 0.1 mg / mL solutions in 50 / 50 acetonitrile / water with a 1 pL injection volume. The flow rate was 0.4 mL / min and run time was 11.0 min. The UV detector was set at 220 nm. Gradient elution was performed, using a mixture of 0.1% trifluoracetic acid in water (Mobile Phase A or “MPA”) and 0.1% trifluoracetic acid in acetonitrile (Mobile Phase B or “MPB”). The elution gradient is shown below in Table 1.Table 1: Gradient Elution Program
[0324] Thermogravimetric Analysis
[0325] Approximately 5 mg of API was heated in a thermogravimetric analyzer, in which the sample mass was monitored while the sample was heated. This test was performed as single sample with no replicates. The API was heated at a rate of 2.5 °C / min up to 300 °C. The heating rate was chosen to match a typical heating rate used in differential scanning calorimetry experiments. The conservative onset of degradation was taken to be the temperature at which the weight began to deviate from the tangent line.Example A: Synthesis of Compound 1
[0326] The synthesis of Compound 1 has been previously described in US Patent Publication 20220340525A1, which is incorporated herein by reference with respect to its disclosure of the synthesis of Compound 1. Compound 1 may be synthesized by the following methods:
[0327] In a round bottom flask, sodium carbonate (68.0 g, 0.64 mol) was added to a suspension of 2-aminopentanoic acid (75.0 g, 0.64 mol) in water (250 mL) at room temperature. A solution of di- / c / 7-butyl dicarbonate (139.9 g, 0.64 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (400mL) was added dropwise over one hour. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 h and then concentrated under reduced pressure (approx. 400 mL). A saturated solution of citric acid (300 mL) was added until pH reached the value of about 3. The aqueous layer was washed with ethyl acetate (4><500 mL). The organic portions were collected, dried over magnesium sulfate, and evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain 2-((tert- butoxycarbonyl)amino)pentanoic acid.
[0328] 4-Methylbenzene-l -thiol (53.5 g, 0.43 mol) and 1 -hydroxybenzotriazole (50.0 g, 0.59 mol) were added to a solution of 2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)pentanoic acid (85.0 g, 0.39 mol) in ethyl acetate (800 mL) in a round bottom flask. The mixture was cooled to 0 °C and N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (80.5 g, 0.39 mol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 h. The white solid formed was then removed by suction filtration. The filtrate was washed with a saturated solution of NaHCO.3 (700 mL), water (700 mL) and brine (700 mL). The organic portion was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain crude material as a white solid. The crude material was purified by flash chromatography to afford (S-p-tolyl 2-((tert- butoxycarbonyl)amino)pentanethioate.

The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h and then was filtered over a celite pad. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the crude was dissolved in ethyl acetate (500 mL). The solution was washed with water (500 mL) and brine (2><500 mL). The organic portion was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain crude material (100 g) as black oil. A 65 g batch of the crude material was purified by flash chromatography to afford tert-butyl (1 -(3 -fluoro-2-m ethylphenyl)- l-oxopentan-2-yl)carbamate.
[0330] Tert-butyl (l-(3-fluoro-2-methylphenyl)-l-oxopentan-2-yl)carbamate (18.7 g, 60.4 mmol) was dissolved in toluene (150 mL) in a round bottom flask. Isopropanol (100 mL) and aluminum isopropoxide (49.4 g, 241.8 mmol) were added at room temperature. The solution was stirred at 50 °C for 16 h and then it was poured into a NH4CI saturated solution and extracted with ethyl acetate (4x300 mL). The organic portions were collected, dried over sodium sulfate, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to obtain crude material. This crudematerial was purified by flash chromatography to afford tert-butyl- 1 -(3 -fluoro-2-methylphenyl)- 1 -hydroxypentan-2-yl)carbamate.
[0331] In a round bottom flask, tert-butyl- 1 -(3 -fluoro-2-methylphenyl)- 1 -hydroxypentan-2- yl)carbamate (15.8 g, 50.74 mmol) was dissolved in HC1 in dioxane (4 M, 100 mL) at 0 °C. The mixture was stirred for 2 h at the same temperature and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was suspended in 300 mL of diethyl ether and stirred for 1 h. The suspension was filtered to obtain (lS,2R)-2-amino-l-(3-fluoro-2-methylphenyl)pentan-l-ol hydrochloride.100332] In a round bottom flask, HATU (19.8 g, 51.9 mmol) was added to a solution of -2- amino-l-(3-fluoro-2-methylphenyl)pentan-l-ol hydrochloride (12.9 g, 51.9 mmol), 2- oxoindoline-4-carboxylic acid (9.2 g, 51.9 mmol) and triethylamine (10.5 g, 103.9 mmol) in dimethylformamide (100 mL) at 0 °C. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0 °C for 1 h and then diluted with ethyl acetate (200 mL). The solution was washed with a saturated solution of NaHCCh (100 mL) and brine (2><100 mL). The organic portion was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain crude material, which was purified by flash chromatography to afford N-(l-(2-chloro-3-fluorophenyl)-l-hydroxypentan-2-yl)-7-fluoro- 2-oxoindoline-4-carboxamide (Compound 1).Example B: Synthesis of Compound 1-A (N-[(lR)-l-[(S)-(2-chloro-3- fluorophenyl)hydroxymethyl]butyl]-7-fluoro-2,3-dihydro-2-oxo-lH-indole-4-carboxamide) Step 1: Preparation of tert-butyl (R)-(l-(methoxy(methyl)amino)-l-oxopentan-2- yl)carbamate (Compound 2-A)Part A
[0333] (R)-2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)pentanoic acid dicyclohexylamine (1 eq), was added to a reactor followed by 2-MeTHF (10 vol) and agitated. The slurry was cooled to -10 °C to -5 °C after which 10% aqueous sulfuric acid (5 vol) was added slowly over a period of 15 minutes maintaining the temperature at or below 20 °C. The mixture was then warmed to room temperature and stirred for at least 30 minutes. The mixture was allowed to settle, and the aqueous (bottom) layer was discharged. The remaining organic layer was washed with 10% aqueous sulfuric acid, a mixture of water and brine, and brine. Azeotropic distillation followed by filtration provided a solution of (R)-2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)pentanoic acid in 2- MeTHF.Part B
[0334] In a separate reactor, DMF (2 vol), 7V,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride (1.2 eq), and 2-MeTHF (4 vol) were combined and agitated. Triethylamine (1.2 eq) was slowly added over a period of 30 minutes at a temperature of 30 °C or less. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for at least one hour then cooled to -2 °C to 2 °C.Part C
[0335] In a separate reactor CDI (1.1 eq) was combined with 2-MeTHF (4 vol) and agitated under nitrogen atmosphere.

[0336] The reaction mixture was then slowly added to the Part B reactor while maintaining the temperature of the reaction mixture at or below 2 °C. The reaction mixture was then warmed to room temperature and stirred for at least 3 hours. The reaction mixture was then slowly quenched with HC1 (IN) at a temperature of 25 °C or less, followed by washing with HC1 (1 N), with potassium phosphate dibasic (5% aqueous), with water, and with brine. The product was azeotropically distilled, cooled to room temperature, and filtered to yield a solution of tert-butyl (R)-(l -(methoxy (methyl)amino)-! -oxopentan-2 -yl)carbamate (Compound 2-A) in 2-MeTHF.Step 2: Preparation of tert-butyl (R)-(l-(2-chloro-3-fluorophenyl)-l-oxopentan-2- yl)carbamate (Compound 4-A)Part A
[0337] A solution of isopropylmagnesium chloride (2 M in THF, 1.87 eq) was added to 1- bromo-2-chloro-3 -fluorobenzene (1.7 eq) in 2-MeTHF (3.8 vol) maintaining the temperature of the reaction mixture at or below 5 °C. The reaction mixture was stirred for at least 2.5 hours.Part B
[0338] In a second reactor, 2-MeTHF (7 vol) was added to tert-butyl (R)-(l - (methoxy(methyl)amino)-l -oxopentan-2-yl)carbamate (Compound 2-A) and the reaction mixture was cooled to -10 to -5 °C. A solution of isopropylmagnesium chloride (2 M in THF, 1.0 eq) was then added over a period of 1 hour, maintaining the temperature at or below 5 °C.Part C
[0339] The product of Part A was slowly added to the reactor from Part B while maintaining a temperature at or below 15 °C. The reaction mixture was then warmed to 46 °C to 48 °C over a period of 2 hours then stirred at that temperature for 7 hours. The reaction mixture was then slowly quenched with acetic acid (6 eq) at room temperature, followed by washing with acetic acid, with water and brine, with aqueous potassium phosphate dibasic (15%), with water and brine, and with brine. The reaction mixture was then distilled to change solvents to 2- propanol. Following cooling to -5 °C to 0 °C over 2 hours, water (8 vol) was charged to crystallize the product, which was then isolated by filtration and dried to yield tert-butyl (R)-( 1 - (2-chloro-3-fluorophenyl)-l-oxopentan-2-yl)carbamate (Compound 4-A).Step 1-3: Preparation of Compound 6-A
[0340] Toluene (6 vol) and isopropyl alcohol (11 eq) were added to tert-butyl (R)-(l-(2- chloro-3 -fluorophenyl)-! -oxopentan-2 -yl)carbamate (Compound 4-A, 1 eq) and aluminum isopropoxide (0.2 eq) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was heated to 50 °C over 2 hours and agitated at the same temperature for at least 10 hours. The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature and quenched with HC1 (IN), followed by washing with HC1 (1 N), with potassium phosphate dibasic (5% aqueous), with water, and with brine.
[0341] The reaction mixture was then distilled to switch solvents to toluene, filtered, and cyclopentyl methyl ether (CMPE, 4 vol) was added. HC1 (3 M) in CPME (7 eq) was then added slowly over a period of 1 hour while maintaining the temperature below 30 °C. The mixture was then stirred at room temperature for at least 24 hours. (lS,2R)-2-amino-l-(2-chloro-3- fluorophenyl)pentan-l-ol hydrochloride (Compound 6-A) was isolated by filtration, and dried.
[0342] The foregoing synthetic conditions, i.e., as specified in Step 1-3 above, provided a high yield of the 1-A enantiomer of Compound 1. If instead a mixture of 1-A and 1-D enantiomers is desired, a non-stereoselective reducing agent, such as sodium borohydride, may be used under the same conditions.Step 1-4: Preparation of Compound 1-A6-A 1-A
[0343] 7 -Fluoro-2-oxoindoline-4-carboxylic acid (Compound 7, 1.2 eq), DMAP (2.5 eq) andEDC (1.5 eq) were charged to a pre-cooled reactor at 0 °C under nitrogen. DMF (5.5 vol) was added followed by (lS,2R)-2-amino-l-(2-chloro-3-fluorophenyl)pentan-l-ol hydrochloride (Compound 6-A). The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for at least 4 hours. Ethyl acetate (8 vol) was added, and the reaction mixture cooled to 13 - 17 °C. I N HC1 (5 vol) was then charged to the reactor and the reaction mixture was agitated. The reaction mixture was then filtered, and the filtrate allowed to settle, after which the lower aqueous phase was removed from the upper organic phase. The organic phase was then washed with 1 N HC1 and brine, potassium phosphate dibasic (5%) and brine, and then with water and brine, followed by brine. The reaction mixture was then distilled with ethyl acetate. The temperature was adjusted to 50-55 °C, and SilaMet S thiol resin (10 wt. %) was added and the resulting mixture stirred at the same temperature for at least 3 hours. The reaction mixture was then filtered, and the solvent was switched to ethanol. The reaction mixture was cooled to 15-20 °C over at least 1.5 h and stirred. Heptane (27 vol) was then added to obtain a slurry. Compound 1-A was isolated by filtration, washed with 4: 1 heptane / ethanol, dried, and analyzed by chiral HPLC, which revealed no detectable amount of Compound 1-B, 1-C, or 1-D. Due to instrument error of ± 0.2%, the stereochemical purity of the obtained compound was determined to be 99.8% or greater.
[0344] Step l-4a: First Exemplary Synthesis of Compound 7: 4-bromo-7-fluoroindoline- 2,3-diketone (50 g, 205 mmol) and hydrazine hydrate (15.4 g (250 mmol, 80%) was added to ethylene glycol (250 mL) in a 500 mL three-necked flask and the reaction mixture was stirred for 30 minutes maintaining the temperature at 55-65 °C. The reaction was allowed to occur for 2-6 hours. The temperature was lowered to room temperature, and filtration was carried out to obtain 60 g of a crude product. In a separate three-neck flask, ethylene glycol (500 mL) and sodium acetate (1.7 g, 20.5 mmol) were added to the crude product (60 g) and the reaction temperature was raised to 145 °C after which the contents of the flask were concentrated under reduced pressure to a third of the original volume, cooled to 0-10 °C, filtered, leached with 100 mL of water, and dried in vacuum to obtain 40 g of 4-bromo-7-fluoroindolin-2-one. Methanol (300 mL), 4-bromo-7-fluoroindolin-2-one (30 g), triethylamine (27 mL), and (dppfjPdCh (21.55 g) were charged to a 500 mL pressure reactor, which was purged with CO three times, maintaining the pressure of CO in the reaction kettle at 0.5 mPa and the temperature at 115-125 °C. Thereaction was carried out for 10 h after which the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and concentrated. DMF and DCM were added, and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes then filtered to obtain 23 g of 4-(but-l-en-2-yl)-7-fluoroindolin-2-one. Methanol (100 mb) and 4-(but-l-en-2-yl)-7-fluoroindolin-2-one (20 g, 95.7 mmol) were charged to a 250 mb three-neck flask and sodium hydroxide (7.7 g, 191 mmol) and water (100 mb) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at a temperature of 40 to 60 °C for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was then concentrated, and the pH adjusted to 1-2 with 1 M hydrochloric acid. The mixture was filtering to obtain 17.7 g of Compound 7.
[0345] Step l-4b: Second Exemplary Synthesis of Compound 7:
[0346] A solution of 4-bromo-7-fluoro-indolin-2-one (1.0 eq) in THF (7.0 vols) was charged to a mixture of sodium hydride in mineral oil (60% w / w, 2.76 eq) and THF (3.0 vols) at 5 ± 5 °C in a first vessel. The mixture was stirred for 10 mins at 5 ± 5 °C and a solution of tertbutyldimethylsilyl chloride (TBDMS-C1, 2.56 eq) in THF (2.5 vols) was charged at 5 ± 5 °C. The mixture was warmed to 20 to 25 °C and stirred for 2 hours until reaction completion. The reaction mixture was cooled to -10 °C. A biphasic mixture of 1 M potassium phosphate buffer (10.0 vols) and n-heptane (12.0 vols) was cooled to 15 ± 5 °C in a second vessel. The contents of the first vessel were added to the second vessel over approximately 1 hour, during which time off-gassing was controlled by the rate of addition and a temperature of 15 ± 5 °C was maintained. The residue in the first vessel was rinsed into the second vessel with THF (1 .0 vols). The biphasic mixture was warmed to 25 ± 5 °C and the two phases were separated. The organic layer was washed with water (10.0 vols) at 25 ± 5 °C and distilled in vacuo to 8 volumes at approximately 50 °C. n-Heptane (3.0 vols) was added, and the mixture was distilled in vacuo to 8 volumes at approximately 50 °C. The mixture was cooled to 25 ± 5 °C and analyzed for THF content by GC-HS. Basic aluminum oxide (0.1% w / w) was added, followed by rinsing with n- heptane (1.0 vols) and the mixture was stirred at 25 ± 5 °C for about 1 hour. The slurry was filtered into a third vessel, followed by a line rinse with n-heptane (2.0 vols). The followingprocedure was repeated three times: isopropanol (9.0 vols) was added, and the solution was distilled to 7 to 8 volumes at NMT 60 °C. The mixture was heated at 75 to 80 °C until dissolution was confirmed. The solution was cooled to 17 ± 3 °C at 0.2 °C / min and held at this temperature for approximately 22 hours. The solid was fdtered off, washed with isopropanol (4.0 vols) at 17 ± 3 °C, and dried in vacuo at 50 ± 5 °C. This resulted in 4-bromo-l-(tert- butyldimethylsilyl)-2-((tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy)-7-fluoro-lH-indole as Compound 8:
[0347] A solution of the bis-silyl-bromo-oxindole intermediate (Compound 8, 1.00 eq) in THF (6.8 vols) was cooled to 4°C in a vessel. Isopropyl magnesium chloride in THF (2 M, 0.47 eq) was added to the vessel over 8 minutes, followed by the addition of n-butyl lithium in hexanes (2.5 M, 0.93 eq) over 10 minutes at 0-5 °C. The mixture was stirred for 15 minutes. Gaseous carbon dioxide (1.5 eq) was added by sparging, with the gas addition rate adjusted as needed to maintain the reaction temperature <10 °C, after which time the mixture was stirred at 0 °C for 70 minutes. The mixture was diluted with methanol (1.4 vol) then 85% w / w H3PO4 (2.5 eq) was added. The mixture was warmed to 25°C over 3 hours and stirred for at least 16 hours. Water (6 vols) was added and the mixture was agitated for 30 minutes. The pH of the mixture was adjusted to pH < 2 by addition of 85% w / w aqueous H3PO4 and stirred for another 30 minutes. The solids were isolated by fdtration, washed with water (2 x 1 .4 vols) THF:MeOH (85:15 v / v, 1.4 vol), then MeOH (1.4 vol) and dried at 50 °C under vacuum to give Compound 7.Example C: Preparation of Crystalline API
[0348] The compound from Example B (5 g) was taken in 100 mL of methanol (MeOH) and heated at 40 °C for 30 minutes. Then 100 mL of heptane was added. The resultant solution was then kept at room temperature overnight. Then the solution was further cooled to -20 °C for 2 hours. Solid were filtered and dried under vacuum for 2 hours at room temperature. The obtained solid was further dried at 50 °C for 2-4 hours.Comparative Examples 1-5: Crystalline Solubility of API
[0349] Crystalline API was characterized for its aqueous solubility by starting with an aqueous media as specified in Table 2, below, saturated with crystalline N-(l-(2-chloro-3- fluorophenyl)-l-hydroxypentan-2-yl)-7-fluoro-2-oxoindoline-4-carboxamide at 0.5-2 mg / mL at 37 °C. Samples were centrifuged at 15,800 g for 1 minute. An aliquot of the sample was removed and centrifuged at 300,000 g for 8 minutes. Fractions of each supernatant were diluted for HPLC analysis. All samples were measured in duplicate. Results are reported in Table 2.Table 2: Crystalline Solubility of APIComparative Examples 6-11 and Reference Examples 1-2: Solubility of API in Surfactants
[0350] To attempt to improve solubility of crystalline API, the use of surfactants was investigated. 20 mg of each surfactant listed in Table 3 below was filled in glass tubes (HPLC vials, 1.5 mL; 32 x 11.6 mm). A 50 pL aliquot of 2 mg / mL solution of 2 mg / mL N-(l-(2-chloro- 3-fluorophenyl)-l-hydroxypentan-2-yl)-7-fluoro-2-oxoindoline-4-carboxamide in methanol was added. Control samples were prepared by the same procedure without adding the N-(l-(2-chloro- 3-fluorophenyl)-l-hydroxypentan-2-yl)-7-fluoro-2-oxoindoline-4-carboxamide. All surfactants were stable under the test conditions (detailed results not shown). Reference samples of N-(l-(2-chloro-3-fluorophenyl)-l-hydroxypentan-2-yl)-7-fluoro-2-oxoindoline-4-carboxamide were prepared by the same procedure without adding surfactants.
[0351] After 15 minutes at room temperature, the solvent was evaporated using a centrifugal vacuum evaporator (DD-4 Genevac Technology, Suffolk, UK) at 45 °C for 30 min.
[0352] Samples were stored at 40 °C / 75% relative humidity in open vials or -20 °C / ambient humidity in closed vials, as specified. After 4 weeks storage under applicable conditions, the N- ( 1 -(2-chl oro-3 -fluorophenyl)- 1 -hy droxypentan-2-yl)-7-fluoro-2-oxoindoline-4-carboxamide was extracted by adding 1,000 pL methanol to each tube, vortexing for 2-5 minutes, and incubating for 30 minutes at room temperature. 250 pL aliquots of the obtained suspensions were centrifuged and filtered through 0.2 pm modified nylon low protein filters in centrifugal Eppendorf tubes (part no. 516-0233, VWR, Randor, PA, USA) at 1850 x g speed for 1 minute and analyzed by HPLC to determine percent degradation. Samples were considered stable if the percent degradation was less than 10% in both stability conditions. Percent degradation was determined by comparing the area under the curve of the sample peaks to the area under the curve of a reference peak.
[0353] Results are shown in Table 3. Under the test conditions, the API is not chemically stable in the presence of the surfactants in Table 3.Table 3: API Stability in SurfactantsJSOLUPLUS® is a polymeric solubilizer with an amphiphilic chemical structure available from BASF North America (Florham Park, NJ, US).2TWEEN® is also known as polysorbate 80.3KOLLIPHOR® RH 40 is nonionic solubilizer and emulsifying agent obtained by reacting 40 moles of ethylene oxide with 1 mole of hydrogenated castor oil and is available from BASF.4CE denotes comparative example.5RE denotes reference example.NAI-1541065753vl129Comparative Examples 12-20: Nanomilling
[0354] To attempt to improve solubility of crystalline API, API was subjected to nanomilling. Mixtures of materials as shown in Table 4 were nanomilled for the indicated duration. Milling was performed using a LabRAM II Acoustic Mixer (Resodyn, Montana, USA), adapted with a 9-vial jacketed vessel fixture. The milling containers were 2 mb propylene cryo- vials. The milling containers were loaded with 0.75 mb of 0.5 mm zirconia high wear resistant grinding spheres, and then adding the 1.5 g suspension of the materials as specified in Table 4. The excipients were added first, followed by the active pharmaceutical ingredient. Milling was performed at 60 G for the specified time. The milled media suspension was passed through a #20 (850 pm) sieve to remove the zirconia spheres. Before analysis, an aliquot of the resulting suspension was then spray dried using a 2-fluid nozzle at 5 g / min. Polydispersity indexes (PDI) and z-average particle size were measured by laser diffraction using a Zetasizer Ultra Red ZSU3305 (Malvern Panalytical Ltd, Malvern, UK) apparatus, and remeasured by the same method two days and one week after storage in aqueous solvent under ambient conditions.
[0355] Trials that produced product having sufficiently small particle size (except for CE8, which was not further studied because N-(l-(2-chloro-3-fluorophenyl)-l-hydroxypentan-2-yl)-7- fluoro-2-oxoindoline-4-carboxamide is chemically unstable in the presence of poloxamer - see CE4) were stored under ambient conditions for 2 days or 1 week, after which time the z-average particle size and poly dispersity index were measured again.Table 4: Nano-milled Compositions and StabilityExamples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 21-22: Amorphous Solubility and Sustainment
[0356] To understand solubility of the API in biologically relevant environments, the solubility of amorphous API was tested in simulated intestinal fluid.
[0357] A stock solution of API in 95 / 5 THF / water at 225 mg / mL was prepared. The solution was loaded into 1 mb syringes and dosed into 10 mL of the indicated liquid (note: PBS stands for phosphate buffered saline at pH 6.5, SIF stands for simulated intestinal fluid) using a syringe pump at 25 pL / min. UV-Vis spectral data was recorded using fiber optic probes across the 200 - 720 nm range. Scattering was monitored at 400 nm. The maximum concentration achieved refers to the maximum concentration of API and was determined by monitoring the second derivative of the absorbance at 305 - 320 nm. Sustainment time is the time at which the maximum achievedconcentration begins to decrease, presumably due to crystallization and precipitation of the N-(l- (2-chloro-3-fluorophenyl)-l-hydroxypentan-2-yl)-7-fluoro-2-oxoindoline-4-carboxamide.
[0358] The results from the amorphous solubility and polymer sustainment tests are summarized in Table 5. Where present, polymers are at a concentration of 500 pg / mL.Table 5: Amorphous Solubility and Polymer Sustainment^BS = phosphate buffered saline, pH 6.52SIF = 0.5% simulated intestinal fluid*polymer solution was hazy, measured concentration is artificially inflated above the actual dose of APIExamples 7-11: Preparation of Solid Dispersions
[0359] Solubility of the crystalline API was next attempted in spray solutions. Solid dispersions were manufactured using a Bend Lab Dryer (BLD-35) with 35 kg / hr drying gas capability. The desired spray solutions were prepared by dissolving the API and the dispersion polymer in acetone at a 2-3 wt.% solids loading, except for HPMC E3 where the solvent was methanol, and the solids loading was 1.5 wt.%. The atomization pressure was 120 PSIG, the dryer inlet temperature was 106 + / - 1 °C (except for HPMC E3, where the inlet temperature was 134 °C) and the outlet temperature was 40 °C (except for HPMC E3, where the outlet temperature was 40 °C). Residual solvent was removed by drying overnight under vacuum at 40 °C. Table 6 shows each spray-dried dispersion.Table 6: Spray-Dried DispersionsAPI loading refers to the wt. % API in the final solid dispersion. The remainder of each dispersion is the dispersion polymer.Examples 12-13 and Comparative Examples 23-24[00360J Two lead SDD formulations (33 / 67 API / HPMCAS-M and 33 / 67 API / HPMC E3) were selected and compared with the SDNC and bulk API in the membrane flux dissolution test.
[0361] Membrane flux tests were performed as shown in FIG. 1, by placing the sample in a donor vessel and adding 5 mb of 0.5% SIF in lx PBS (pH 6.5). A receiver vessel having a glass tube and a lipid-filled polypropylene membrane (PION GIT-0 Lipid Solution, available from Pion Inc (UK) Ltd. East Sussex, UK, which was used to saturate an Accurel PP IE membrane, available from 3M Company, St. Paul, MN, USA) is placed in contact with the donor vessel so that the membrane separates the two vessels. The receiving vessel is fdled with 10 mL of 2% SLS in lx PBS (pH 6.5). Samples were maintained at 37 °C for the duration of the test with a custom heating block mounted on a Pion pDiss Profiler. Results are reported in Table 7.Table 7: Membrane Flux Dissolution TestExamples 14-32 and Reference Examples 3-4
[0362] Samples of Examples 7, 8, and 10 were stored at 25 °C / 60% relative humidity or40 °C / 75% relative humidity for three months. An aliquot was removed at one and three months for dissolution testing, which was performed following the centrifugation method that was used for Comparative Examples 6-11. The one- and three-month aliquots were also examined by XRPD. All XRPD tests showed no distinct or sharp peaks, thus no evidence of crystallinity was observed. Dispersion formulations still show fast dissolution even upon aging, as shown in FIGS. 2-4 and in Tables 8-10.Table 8: Dissolution of Example 7 After AgingTable 9: Dissolution of Example 8 After AgingTable 10: Dissolution of Example 10 After...
