[0003] There is a need to develop pharmaceutical compositions of Compound (I) suitable for medical use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The disclosure features a pharmaceutical composition that includes (i) an amorphous solid dispersion including Compound (I) or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt thereof and a pharma- ceutically acceptable polymer; and (ii) an intragranular phase including a surfactant, and an extragranular phase including at least one of a surfactant, a disintegrant, a flow agent, a lubricant, and a filler.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0006] Compound (I) is a potent kinase inhibitor, but was found to have poor water solubility. To improve bioavailability, Compound (I) was molecularly dispersed in a polymer matrix system to create a solid dispersion and improve dissolution rate. Although dissolving a poorly water-soluble active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in a polymer improves overall solubility, some polymer matrices may delay the onset of API dissolution as the API must be released from the matrix. The properties of the excipients further affect the dissolution behavior of solid dispersions. However, it was unexpected that the addition of surfactants in the intragranular phase, as well as the extragranular phase consisting of at least one of surfactants, disintegrants, flow agents, lubricants, and fillers of the pharmaceutical composition, would allow for wetting, dispersion, and dissolution of Compound (I) at a rate suitable for an immediate release solid dosage form.

[0007] Pharmaceutical Compositions "Extragranular" has or relates to additional excipients that are incorporated into the formulation after granulation, i.e., ingredients that are located outside the granule structure.

[0008] "Intragranular" refers to having or relating to additional excipients that are incorporated into the formulation prior to granulation, i.e., ingredients that are located within the granule structure.

The solid was filtered off. The mother solvent was concentrated under vacuum. The crude product was purified by silica gel column with PE:EtOAc=10:1 to give 6.7 g (93%) of the title compound as a brown solid. Analytical data: LC-MS: (ES, m / z) = 284 [M+1]. 1.4 Synthesis of 3-chloro-5-isopropyl-8-((2R,3S)-2-methyl-3-((methylsulfonyl)methyl)azetidin-1-yl)isoquinoline [ka]

[0143] To a solution of 8-bromo-3-chloro-5-(propan-2-yl)isoquinoline (9 g, 31.6 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (130 mL) was added (2R,3S)-3-(methanesulfonylmethyl)-2-methylazetidine (5.15 g, 31.6 mmol,), Cs2CO3 (20.6 g, 63.2 mmol) and Xantphos Pd G4 (1.51 g, 1.58 mmol) under nitrogen. The mixture was stirred at 100° C. under nitrogen for 3 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and diluted with 300 mL of water. The resulting solution was extracted with EtOAc, washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography (0-60% EtOAc in PE) to give 7.2 g (62.6%) of 3-chloro-8-[(2R,3S)-3-(methanesulfonylmethyl)-2-methylazetidin-1-yl]-5-(propan-2-yl)isoquinoline as a yellow solid. 1.5 Synthesis of N-(2-((3S,4R)-3-fluoro-4-methoxypiperidin-1-yl)pyrimidin-4-yl)-5-isopropyl-8-((2R,3S)-2-methyl-3-((methylsulfonyl)methyl)azetidin-1-yl)isoquinolin-3-amine [ka]

[0144] To a solution of 2-((3S,4R)-3-fluoro-4-methoxypiperidin-1-yl)pyrimidin-4-amine (18.50 mg, 0.082 mmol, 1 equiv.), 3-chloro-5-isopropyl-8-((2R,3S)-2-methyl-3-((methylsulfonyl)methyl)azetidin-1-yl)isoquinoline (30 mg, 0.082 mmol, 1 equiv.) and Cs2CO3 (53.3 mg, 0.164 mmol, 2 equiv.) in 1,4-dioxane (0.82 ml) was added BrettPhos precatalyst (Gen IV) (3.76 mg, 4.09 μmol, 0.05 equiv.) under N2 and the mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 16 h. The mixture was filtered and concentrated under vacuum. The crude mixture was purified by reverse phase chromatography (0-60% acetonitrile / water containing 0.1% TFA). The pure fractions were combined, neutralized with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, and then extracted with 10% MeOH / DCM (5 mL x 3). The combined organic phases were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated to give 17.4 mg of the title compound (38%) as a yellow solid. The XRPD diffractogram of the resulting product showed the solid to be a crystalline material, which was designated as Form A.

[0145] Example 2: Preparation of Crystalline Form B of Compound (I) Free Base Approximately 25-35 mg of amorphous Compound (I) was dissolved in dimethylacetamide (solvent) primarily at room temperature. Two volumes of water (antisolvent) were placed in a separate vial to which the solution was added in one move with rapid stirring. For example, if the solid dissolved in 0.5 mL of solvent, the solution was added to 1.0 mL of antisolvent in one move with vigorous stirring. Once the solid had formed, the thick pale yellow slurry was filtered, washed with 1×2.0 volumes of water, and left on the filter paper for 5 minutes with active suction from an aspirator. The sample was then placed in a 50°C oven under active vacuum for 15 minutes, then left on a benchtop overnight to dry. An XRPD diffractogram of the resulting product showed the solid to be a crystalline material, which was designated as Form B.

[0146] Example 3: Compound (I) Amorphous Solid Dispersion Preparation (ASD) Dichloromethane:methanol (80:20) was added to a supply vessel, to which Compound (I) free base (e.g., in any of the crystalline forms described herein (e.g., Forms A and B) or as an amorphous form) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS) were added in a 1:1 w / w ratio, the mixture was stirred to obtain a solution, and then spray dried to obtain a 50:50 Compound (I):HPMCAS-M SDD (spray dried dispersion). [Table 2] Example 4. Capsules of Compound (I) Formulations 1 and 2 [Table 3]

[0147] The manufacturing processes for Formulation 1 and Formulation 2 are as follows. 1) The intragranular ingredients were blended in a suitable sized container using a Turbula blender at 23 rpm for 10 minutes. 2) The intragranular blend was dry granulated by densification using a single station press equipped with 0.875 inch tooling. 3) The resulting material was milled using a Quadro Comil U5 equipped with a 040G screen. 4) The bulk density of the granules was determined and if it was not within the range of 0.45 + 0.02 g / mL, the densification and milling were repeated until the desired bulk density was achieved. 5) The extragranular ingredients were blended with the granules in a Turbula blender at 20 rpm for 5 minutes. 6) The final blend was hand filled into size 4 and size 0 HPMC capsules (Vcaps® Plus). Disintegration time. The time required for the capsules described as Formulation 1 and Formulation 2 to disintegrate was calculated according to the USP <701> Disintegration was determined using the procedure specifically for uncoated or plain coated tablets. Specifically, a single capsule was placed into each of the six tubes of a basket (basket type A) along with a disk. Analytical grade water was added and the temperature was maintained at 37° C.±2° C. The disintegration time for capsules of formulations 1 and 2 was less than 15 minutes.

[0148] Dissolution Times. The dissolution times of Formulations 1 and 2 were determined in biorelevant media using the following dissolution protocol. [Table 4]

[0149] Figure 1 compares the dissolution profiles of Formulations 1 and 2 compared to 50:50 Compound (I):HPMCAS-M alone (i.e., ASD alone) in biorelevant media, i.e., gastric and intestinal pH. Formulation 2 showed slightly higher solubility in both biorelevant media. Formulation 1 was less soluble than Formulation 2, but still tolerable. When these formulations were evaluated in a dog PK study, this solubility was predictive of in vivo behavior in that Formulation 1 at 25 mg strength and both Formulation 2 at 25 mg and 100 mg achieved greater than 90% relative bioavailability compared to ASD in suspension. [Table 5] The manufacturing processes of T1 and T2 were as follows. 1) The intragranular ingredients were blended in an appropriate size container using a Turbula blender at 25 rpm for 10.5 minutes. After the lubricant was added, the ingredients were further blended using the Turbula blender at 25 rpm for 2.5 minutes. 2) The intragranular blend was dry granulated by densification using a single station press to prepare slugs (hardness: 2-5 kp and thickness about 3-4 mm). 3) The resulting slugs were gently crushed and passed through a 35 mesh sieve to obtain granules. 4) The extragranular ingredients were blended with the granules in a Turbula blender for 10 minutes at 25 rpm without the addition of lubricant. After the addition of the lubricant, the ingredients were further blended for 2.5 minutes at 25 rpm using the Turbula blender. 5) The final blend was used to manufacture tablets using a Korsch tablet press. The manufacturing process of T3 was as follows. 1) The intragranular ingredients were blended in an appropriately sized blender for 250 revolutions at 15 rpm, then delumped by comil and blended again for 250 revolutions. After adding the lubricant, the ingredients were blended an additional 60 revolutions at 15 rpm. 2) The intragranular blend was dry granulated using a Gerteis roller compactor with a roll force of 7.5 kN / cm, roll speed of 1.5 rpm, and roll gap of 1.5 mm to form intragranular ribbons. These ribbons were then milled using a screen size of 0.8 mm to form intragranular granules. 3) The extragranular ingredients were blended with the granules in a blender for 200 minutes at 15 rpm without the addition of lubricant. After the addition of lubricant, the ingredients were blended for an additional 60 revolutions at 15 rpm. 4) The final blend was used to manufacture tablets using a Korsch tablet press. Disintegration Time. The time to disintegrate the tablets described as compositions T1, T2, and T3 was measured according to the USP <701> Disintegration was determined using a procedure specifically for uncoated or plain coated tablets. Specifically, a single tablet was placed in each of the three tubes of a basket (basket type A) along with a disk. Analytical grade water was added and the temperature was maintained at 37°C ± 2°C. The disintegration time of the tablets was less than 1 minute 30 seconds. Dissolution. The dissolution profiles of formulations T1, T2, and T3 in biorelevant media were determined using the following method. [Table 6] Formulation T1 provided slightly longer supersaturation in FaSSIF biorelevant media. Formulation T2 was unable to maintain supersaturation longer than formulation T1, but was still tolerable. These formulations were evaluated in a dog PK study.

[0150] FIG. 4 compares the dog PK plasma concentration profiles between 50:50 Compound (I):HPMCAS-M alone (i.e., ASD alone), tablet formulations T1, T2, and T3. Tablets of 100 mg strength formulations T1 and T2 achieved a relative bioavailability of over 85% compared to ASD in suspension. The PK results of these two formulations suggested that they were not significantly different from each other (p<0.05). However, higher variability was observed in formulation T1 at earlier time points compared to T2, which may be due to different levels of total surfactant present in the formulations. The PK results of formulations T2 and T3 are similar.

[0151] Example 5. Capsules of Compound (I) Formulations 3, 4, and 5 (Formulation Comparison) Capsule Compositions 3, 4, and 5 containing the amorphous solid dispersion of Compound (I) described in Example 1 were also prepared. [Table 7]

[0152] The manufacturing process for formulations 3, 4, and 5 is as follows: 1) The intragranular ingredients (Formulations 3, 4, and 5) were blended in an appropriately sized container using a Turbula blender at 23 rpm for 10 minutes. 2) The intragranular blend was dry granulated by densification using a single station press equipped with 0.875 inch tooling. 3) The resulting material was milled using a Quadro Comil U5 equipped with a 040G screen. 4) The bulk density of the granules was determined and if it was not within the range of 0.45 + 0.02 g / mL, the densification and milling were repeated until the desired bulk density was achieved. 5) The extragranular ingredients (for 4 and 5, not applicable to 3 as it does not contain extragranular ingredients) were blended with the granules in a Turbula blender at 20 rpm for 5 minutes. 6) The final blend was hand filled into size 4 (25 mg strength) and size 0 (100 mg strength) HPMC capsules (Vcaps® Plus).

[0153] Disintegration Time. The time to disintegrate Formulations 3, 4, and 5 was determined as described above for Formulations 1 and 2. The disintegration time of the capsules was less than 15 minutes.

[0154] Dissolution Times. The dissolution profiles of Formulations 3, 4, and 5 in biorelevant media were determined using the same protocol as described above for Formulations 1 and 2.

[0155] Figure 2 compares the dissolution profiles of Formulation 3 at different doses compared to 50:50 Compound (I):HPMCAS-M alone (i.e., ASD alone) in biorelevant media, i.e., gastric and intestinal pH. Formulation 3 performed poorly compared to ASD alone, as evidenced by the lower solubility of Formulation 3 compared to ASD. Formulation 3 was also evaluated in a monkey PK study, achieving only about 42% relative bioavailability.

[0156] Figure 3 compares the dissolution profiles of Formulations 4 and 5 at different doses compared to 50:50 Compound (I):HPMCAS-M alone (i.e., ASD alone) in biorelevant media, i.e., gastric and intestinal pH. Formulations 4 and 5 performed poorly compared to ASD alone, as evidenced by the lower solubility of Formulations 4 and 5 compared to ASD.
