Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001] [Technical field] The present application relates to the field of chemical medicine, in particular to potassium N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino]octanoate crystalline polymorphs and their preparation methods and uses.

[0002] [Background technology] Polymer drugs such as peptide and protein drugs have large molecular weights, low lipid solubility, and are unstable to gastric acid, and can be destroyed by various digestive enzymes in the digestive tract, so they cannot enter the intestinal tract smoothly and be absorbed when administered orally. In response to the above problems, people have tried to overcome the drug absorption barrier in many ways, and in addition to some attempts at dosage forms, gastrointestinal absorption enhancers are often used to improve the biofilm permeability of drugs, which has increased the absorption of drugs, but also increased the absorption of intestinal toxins, and is lacking in safety for long-term use.

[0003] U.S. Patent No. 5,650,386, published in 1997, discloses a novel polymeric drug delivery agent, N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino]caprylic acid (abbreviated as NAC) and its salts, whose molecular formula is as shown in formula (I).In particular, U.S. Patent No. 8,636,996, published in 2009, discloses a crystalline polymorph, an amorphous form and a preparation method thereof of monosodium N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino]caprylic acid (abbreviated as SNAC), whose molecular formula is as shown in formula (II). [ka]

[0004] SNAC is a novel amino acid derivative delivery agent. Recent studies have shown that it can promote the oral absorption of various protein drug solutions, such as heparin and human growth hormone, without dosage form protection, but no obvious cytotoxicity has been shown. The bioavailability, solubility, and fluidity of different salt forms of a compound are also different. Different crystal forms of the same salt form have different properties such as crystal shape, density, hardness, color, chemical stability, melting point, hygroscopicity, suspendability, and dissolution rate, which directly or indirectly affect the drug delivery ability and lead to differences in the bioavailability, compressibility, and stability of the delivered drug.

[0012] Powder X-ray diffraction X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) is usually applied to the analysis of crystal structure. X-rays are a type of electromagnetic wave that, when incident on a crystal, It generates a periodically changing electromagnetic field within the atom. It vibrates the electrons and nuclei within the atom, but because the mass of the nuclei is so large, the vibrations can be ignored. The vibrating electrons are the wave source of the secondary X-rays, and their wavelength and phase are the same as the incident light. Based on the periodicity of the crystal structure, the scattered waves of each electron in the crystal interfere with each other and overlap, which is called diffraction. The direction in which the phases of the scattered waves match and reinforce each other is called the diffraction direction, and diffracted rays are generated. Instrument model: PANalytical Empyrean and X'Pert3 powder diffraction analyzers; Ray: Monochromatic Cu-Kα ray (λ=1.5406); Scan mode: θ / 2θ, scan range: 2~40°; Voltage: 40KV, Current: 40mA.

[0013] thermogravimetric analysis Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) refers to a thermal analysis technique that measures the relationship between the mass of a test sample and the temperature change under program-controlled temperature, and is used to study the thermal stability and composition of materials. TGA is a detection method commonly used in research and development and quality control. Thermogravimetric analysis is often combined with other analytical methods in practical material analysis to perform comprehensive thermal analysis and analyze materials comprehensively and accurately. The curve recorded by a thermogravimetric analyzer is called a TGA curve. Device model:TA Q5000 / Discovery 5500; Purge gas: nitrogen; Heating method: Linear heating; Temperature range: room temperature to 350℃.

[0014] Differential scanning calorimetry Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a technique that measures the heat flow of a sample relative to a reference substance as a function of temperature or time under the control of a temperature program. The curve recorded by a differential scanning calorimeter is called a DSC curve, and is generally plotted as W / g or mW / mg (i.e., output power per gram of sample) on the vertical axis and temperature T or time t on the horizontal axis. It can measure various thermodynamic and kinetic parameters such as specific heat capacity, heat of reaction, heat of transition, phase diagram, reaction rate, crystallization rate, polymer crystallinity, and sample purity. The method has a wide temperature range (-175 to 725 °C), high resolution, and low sample consumption. It is suitable for the analysis of inorganic substances, organic compounds, and drugs.

Heparins, including heparin, low molecular weight heparin, very low molecular weight heparin, and very low molecular weight heparin; calcitonins, including salmon, eel, porcine, and human calcitonin; erythropoietin; atrial natriuretic peptide; antigens; monoclonal antibodies; somatostatin; protease inhibitors; corticotropin, gonadotropin-releasing hormone; oxytocin; luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone; follicle-stimulating hormone; glucocerebrosidase; thrombopoietin; filgrastim; prostaglandins; cyclosporine; vasopressin; cromolyn sodium (cromolyn sodium or disodium cromoglycate chromoglycate); vancomycin; deferoxamine (DFO); bisphosphonates, including acid salts of ibandronate, alendronate, tiludronate, etidronate, clodronate, pamidronate, opadronate, and icadronate, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof (e.g., ibandronate sodium); gallium salts (such as gallium nitrate, gallium nitrate nonahydrate, gallium maltolate, and the like); acyclovir and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts (such as acyclovir sodium); parathyroid hormone (PTH), including fragments thereof; antimigraine medications, such as BIBN-4096BS and other calcitonin gene-related protein antagonists; antimicrobials, including antibiotics (including bactericidal agents acting against gram-positive bacteria, including daptomycin, lipopeptide and cyclic peptide antibiotics), antibacterial and antifungal agents; vitamins;These may include, but are not limited to, analogs, fragments, mimetics, or polyethylene glycol (PEG) modified derivatives of these compounds; or any combination thereof, including their synthetic, natural, or recombinant origins;

[0187] Preferred drugs in the present application are polypeptide and protein drugs that are poorly absorbed and poorly absorbed in the intestinal tract when administered orally, and common drugs include insulin, monoclonal antibodies, heparin, glucagon-like peptides, PYY, human amylin, human growth hormone, interferons, protease inhibitors, thrombopoietin, and the like, including their analogs, fragments, mimetics, and polyethylene glycol-modified derivatives.

[0188] Insulin Insulin is a protein hormone secreted by the islet β cells of the pancreas when stimulated by endogenous or exogenous substances such as glucose, lactose, ribose, arginine, and glucagon. Insulin is the only hormone that can lower blood glucose levels in the body, while promoting the synthesis of glycogen, fat, and protein. Exogenous insulin is mainly used to treat diabetes. All crystalline forms of insulin in this application include, but are not limited to, naturally occurring insulin and crystalline forms of synthetic insulin. Subcutaneous injection is still the main method of administration, as oral administration is prone to degradation.

[0189] PYY PYY is secreted from endocrine cells in the distal gastrointestinal tract after a meal and acts on satiety signals in the hypothalamus. Recent studies have shown that obese individuals have lower fasting and postprandial PYY levels, which may explain their increased appetite and food consumption. When administered intravenously, it suppresses appetite and food intake in lean and obese individuals. Other peptides in the pancreatic peptide (PP) family, such as PYY fragments (e.g., PYY[3-36]), and other PYY agonists, can also suppress appetite. However, it is poorly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and is rapidly degraded. Therefore, its oral activity is almost negligible.

[0190] Glucagon-like peptide-1 Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a type of brain-gut peptide secreted from ileal endocrine cells and is mainly used as a target for type 2 diabetes treatment. GLP-1 can inhibit gastric emptying and reduce intestinal peristalsis, which helps control food intake and reduce weight. However, since GLP-1 is a polypeptide, oral administration is easily degraded and does not easily reach the intestinal tract.

[0191] Human amylin Human amylin (hIAPP) is a 37-amino acid polypeptide hormone synthesized and secreted by pancreatic islet cells, which cooperates with insulin and glucagon to regulate glucose homeostasis. The physiological and pharmacological functions of hIAPP monomer are: 1) affecting insulin and glucagon secretion; 2) delaying gastric emptying and lowering postprandial blood glucose; 3) increasing renin and angiotensin II and regulating kidney growth; 4) increasing aldosterone and reducing blood calcium; 5) regulating bone density; 6) dilating blood vessels and regulating hemodynamics; 7) regulating immune effects. hIAPP monomer can induce and regulate T cell differentiation, thereby regulating inflammatory responses and the secretion of immune factors. hIAPP may have potential applications in the prevention and treatment of obesity, diabetes, autoimmunity, osteoporosis, and other diseases.

[0192] Pharmaceutical Compositions In addition to the PNAC and prophylactic and / or therapeutic agent described in the present application, the pharmaceutical composition may also contain pharma- ceutically acceptable additives, which may be non-toxic fillers, stabilizers, diluents, carriers, solvents or other formulation additives. For example, diluents and excipients such as microcrystalline cellulose and mannitol; fillers such as starch and sucrose; binders such as starch, cellulose derivatives, alginates, gelatin, and / or polyethylene pyrrolidone; disintegrants such as calcium carbonate and / or sodium bicarbonate; absorption enhancers such as quaternary ammonium compounds; surfactants such as cetyl alcohol; carriers and solvents such as water, saline, kaolin, and bentonite; and lubricants such as talc, calcium / magnesium stearate, and polyethylene glycol. The pharmaceutical composition of the present application is preferably an injection.

[0193] The pharmaceutical compositions are preferably solid form pharmaceutical compositions, which can be formulated as solid dosage forms. The solid dosage forms can be capsules, tablets, or granules, such as powders or sachets. The powders can be put into sachets (microcapsules) for mixing with liquid and administering. The solid dosage forms can also be topical delivery systems, such as ointments, creams, or semisolids. Possible solid dosage forms can include sustained or controlled release systems. Preferably, the solid dosage forms are for oral administration.

[0194] The powder can be encapsulated or compressed into tablets, used in powder form, or incorporated into ointments, creams, or semi-solids. Methods of forming solid dosage forms are well known in the art.

[0195] The PNAC in this application can be used as a delivery agent in a pharmaceutical composition.

[0196] The amount of delivery agent in the solid dosage form is a delivery effective amount, which can be determined for any particular compound or biologically or chemically active agent by methods well known to those of skill in the art.

[0197] After administration, the active agent in the unit dosage form is absorbed into the circulation. The bioavailability of the active agent is The activity of an active agent is readily assessed by assaying for a known pharmacological activity in the blood (e.g., increasing blood clotting time with heparin or decreasing circulating calcium levels with calcitonin). Alternatively, circulating levels of the active agent itself can be measured directly.

[0198] Delivery System The amount of prophylactic and / or therapeutic agent (sometimes called active agent) used in the pharmaceutical composition of the present application is an amount effective to achieve the purpose of the active agent for the target indication. The active agent is generally used in the composition in a pharmacologically, biologically, therapeutically or chemically effective amount. However, this amount may be lower than the dose when the composition is used in a unit dosage form, because the unit dosage form may contain multiple delivery agent compound / active agent compositions or may contain a pharmacologically, biologically, therapeutically or active effective amount per dose. The total effective amount may be administered in cumulative units that contain an effective amount of the active agent in total.

[0199] The total amount of active agent used can be determined by methods known to those skilled in the art, but because the compositions of the present application can deliver the active agent more effectively than other compositions or compositions containing only the active agent, it is possible to administer to a subject less of the biologically or chemically active agent used in existing unit dosage forms or delivery systems while achieving the same blood levels and / or therapeutic effect.

[0200] The delivery agents disclosed herein facilitate the delivery of biologically and chemically active agents, particularly to the oral, sublingual, buccal, intraduodenal, intracolonic, rectal, vaginal, mucosal, pulmonary, intranasal, and ocular systems.

[0201] The compounds and compositions of the present application are used to administer biologically or chemically active agents to any animal, including, but not limited to, mammals, such as birds, such as chickens, rodents, cows, pigs, dogs, cats, primates, and especially humans, and insects.

[0202] These compounds and compositions are particularly advantageous for the delivery of chemically or biologically active agents that are destroyed or have reduced activity due to the conditions that the active agent encounters before reaching the target area (i.e., the area of ​​the delivery composition where the active agent is released) and within the animal body to which they are administered. In particular, the compounds and compositions of the present application are used for the oral administration of active agents, especially those that are not normally delivered orally or for which enhanced delivery is desired.

[0203] The compositions comprising the compounds and active agents have utility in delivering the active agent to a selected biological system and increasing or enhancing the bioavailability of the active agent over delivery of the active agent without the delivery agent. Delivery can be improved by delivering more active agent over a period of time, or by delivering the active agent over a particular period of time, such as a faster acting or delayed delivery, or over a period of time, such as sustained delivery. [Example]

[0204] The experimental methods used in the following examples are conventional methods unless otherwise stated. Materials and reagents used in the following examples were obtained from commercial sources unless otherwise specified.

[0205] [Example 1] N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino]octanoic acid, NAC, was prepared by following the method of Example 1 of International Patent Application WO2008 / 028859.

[0206] Preparation of PNAC Crystal Form I Add isopropanol (22070.0 ml, 4.0 vol) to a 50 L reactor and stir. Stirring was started, and NAC (5518 g, 1.0 equivalent) was added. The system was heated to 50°C, and the prepared 50% potassium hydroxide solution (1304.0 g, 1.0 eq) was added dropwise to the system. After the addition, the system became a transparent yellow solution, and the reaction was carried out for 1 hour while keeping the temperature at 50°C. The reaction solution was concentrated in batches at 40°C, and the color of the obtained crude product was pale orange yellow. The combined crude product was added to isopropanol (19310.0 ml, 3.5 vol) and beaten for 1 hour. The system was suction filtered and the filter cake was rinsed with isopropanol (2760.0 ml, 0.5 vol). The filter cake was transferred to a vacuum drying oven, the drying system was flushed with nitrogen, and dried at 60° C. for 16 hours, then transferred to a vacuum drying oven and dried at 100° C. for 24 hours. After drying was completed, a total of 4.52 kg of product was obtained, which was an off-white powdery solid in nature. The yield was 72.8%. After measurement, the product is crystalline form I, and the XRPD and TGA / DSC of crystalline form I are shown in Figures 1-2b, respectively. PNAC is crystalline form I, and the characteristic XRPD peaks (characterized in °2θ) of crystalline form I are shown in Table 1 below.

[0207] [Table 1]

[0208] The DSC spectrum (Fig. 2a) shows that the melting endotherm peak of crystalline form I begins to appear at 195.5 °C and peaks at 163.1 °C. Both the DSC (Fig. 2a) and TGA (Fig. 2b) spectra indicate that crystalline form I is anhydrous.

[0209] [Example 2] Preparation of PNAC Crystal Form II The PNAC crystal form I prepared in Example 1 was exposed to an environment of 60% relative humidity at room temperature for more than 24 hours to obtain a product. The product was determined to be crystalline form II. The XRPD and TGA / DSC of the product are shown in Figures 3-4b, respectively, and the characteristic XRPD peaks (characterized by °2θ) of crystalline form II are shown in Table 2 below.

[0210] [Table 2]

[0211] The DSC spectrum (Fig. 4a) shows that the melting endotherm peak of crystalline form II begins to appear at 157.1 C and peaks at 162.5 C. The combination of DSC (Fig. 4a) and TGA (Fig. 4b) spectra indicates that crystalline form II is a 1 / 3 hydrate.

[0212] [Example 3] N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino]octanoic acid, NAC, was prepared by following the method of Example 1 of International Patent Application WO2008 / 028859.

[0213] Preparation of PNAC Crystal Form III Isopropanol (22070.0 ml, 4.0 vol) was added to a 50 L reactor, stirring was started, and NAC (5518 g, 1.0 eq) was added. The system was heated to 50°C, and the prepared 50% potassium hydroxide solution (1304.0 g, 1.0 eq) was added dropwise to the system. After the addition, the system became a transparent yellow solution, and the reaction was carried out for 1 hour while keeping the temperature at 50°C. The reaction solution was concentrated in batches at 40°C, and the color of the obtained crude product was pale orange yellow. The crude product was combined and added to isopropanol (19310.0ml, 3.5vol) and beaten for 1 hour. The system was suction filtered to obtain a filter cake, which was sieved through a 24 mesh sieve to make uniform granules, transferred to a vacuum drying oven, the drying system was replaced with nitrogen, and dried at 60°C for 16 hours, then transferred to a vacuum drying oven and dried at 100°C for 24 hours. The obtained granules were spread evenly in a low temperature environment at 5°C and placed in a controlled relative humidity of 50% for 2 days to obtain the product. The product was determined to be crystalline form III. The XRPD and TGA / DSC of crystalline form III are shown in Figures 5-6b, respectively, and the characteristic XRPD peaks (characterized by °2θ) of crystalline form III are shown in Table 3 below.

[0214] [Table 3]

[0215] The DSC spectrum (Figure 6a) shows that the melting endotherm peak of crystalline form III begins at 156.6° C. and peaks at 162.0° C. The combination of the DSC (Figure 6a) and TGA (Figure 6b) spectra indicates that crystalline form III is a hemihydrate.

[0216] [Example 4] Preparation of PNAC crystal form IV The PNAC crystal form I prepared in Example 1 was exposed to an environment of 80% relative humidity at room temperature and allowed to stand for 3 days to form a gel-like substance, which was then exposed to an environment of 40% relative humidity and allowed to stand for 5 days to obtain a product. The product was determined to be crystalline form IV. XRPD and TGA / DS of crystalline form IV Form IV and Form C are shown in Figures 7-8b, respectively, and the characteristic XRPD peaks (characterized by °2θ) of crystalline form IV are shown in Table 4 below.

[0217] [Table 4]

[0218] The DSC spectrum (Figure 8a) shows that the melting endotherm peak of crystalline form IV begins to appear at 163.8° C. The combination of the DSC (Figure 8a) and TGA (Figure 8b) spectra indicates that crystalline form IV is a hydrate.

[0219] [Experimental Example] SNAC: Characterization of SNAC in Rybelsus® tablets (developed by Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk) revealed that it was identical to crystalline form I in patent WO2005107462. Therefore, the SNAC herein was prepared by referring to the preparation method of SNAC crystalline form I in Example 1 of patent WO2005107462. All SNAC in the following examples was prepared by this method. Crystalline form I (PNAC-I) was prepared in Example 1. Crystalline form II (PNAC-II) was prepared in Example 2. Crystalline form III (PNAC-III) was prepared in Example 3. Crystalline form IV (PNAC-IV) was prepared in Example 4.

[0220] [Experimental Example 1: Solution stability test of different crystal forms of PNAC in aqueous solution] The samples of PNAC crystal forms I to IV prepared in the above examples and the sample of SNAC crystal form I prepared above were dissolved in purified water, respectively, and placed under two conditions of 4°C and room temperature, respectively, to observe the changes in the solutions, and the differences in stability under high concentration (500 mg / mL) conditions of different salt forms and different crystal forms in aqueous solutions were compared. The results are shown in Table 5 (there was no difference in the dissolution and solution standing processes of sample PNAC crystal forms I to IV).

[0221] [Table 5]

[0222] As can be seen from Table 5, after SNAC was dissolved at 4°C, flocs began to appear in the solution at 0.5 hours, the fluidity of the solution gradually decreased with time, and large white particles precipitated in the solution at 2 hours. When the temperature was raised to room temperature, flocs also appeared in the solution after the SNAC solution was left for 1 hour, and the flocs increased and the solution became turbid at 2 hours. In contrast, when the solution of PNAC I to IV prepared in this application was left at 4°C for 1 hour, a small amount of thread-like flocs appeared at the bottom, and the state of the solution did not change much until 2 hours. When left at room temperature for 2 hours, a small amount of flocs appeared in the solution. This indicates that under the same conditions, the solution stability of PNAC I to IV of this application is superior to SNAC under high concentration (500 mg / mL) conditions.

[0223] [Experimental Example 2: Effect of different crystal forms of PNAC on the bioavailability of GLP-1 drugs in beagle dogs] For the preparation method of GLP-1 drug M4 (abbreviated as M4), please refer to patent application WO2019201328. For the preparation method of the composite oral tablet, please refer to the preparation method in Example 1 of Patent WO2012080471. Each of the delivery agents (SNAC, PNAC-I, PNAC-II) is combined with M4. The composite oral tablet that combines SNAC and M4 is SNAC+M4. The composite oral tablet that combines PNAC-I and M4 is PNAC-I+M4. The composite oral tablet that combines PNAC-II and M4 is PNAC-II+M4. In the combined oral tablet, the content of M4 was 10 mg and the content of the delivery agent was 100 mg. Formulation of M4 for intravenous injection: M4 was dissolved in 8 mM, pH 7.2 phosphate buffer to a final concentration of 1 mg / mL. Twenty-eight male beagle dogs weighing 9-12 kg were divided into four groups. Group 1 was administered a single dose of M4 (0.05 mg / kg, N=4) by intravenous injection, group 2 was administered a single dose of SNAC+M4 (1 tablet, N=8), group 3 was administered a single dose of PNAC-I+M4 (1 tablet, N=8), and group 4 was administered a single dose of PNAC-II+M4 (1 tablet, N=8) to compare the effects of different crystalline forms of PNAC on the bioavailability of M4 in beagle dogs. The beagle dogs in the oral administration group were fasted the night before and allowed to drink water. After administration on the same day, the tablets were taken with 10 ml of water (quantitatively), and food was resumed 4 hours later. Then, blood samples were taken according to the blood sampling scheme in Table 6 to measure the blood drug concentration at different time points and the exposure amount in the animal body AUC last The specific results are shown in Tables 7, 8, and 9, and Figures 9 and 10.

[0224] [Table 6]

[0225] [Table 7]

[0226] [Table 8]

[0227] [Table 9]

[0228] As can be seen from the calculation of the data in Tables 7 to 9, the absolute bioavailability of the single oral administration group of SNAC was 0.88%, the absolute bioavailability of the single oral administration group of PNAC-II was 1.28%, and the absolute bioavailability of the single oral administration group of PNAC-I was 1.11%, and the bioavailability of the two PNAC groups was significantly higher than that of the SNAC group. Compared with the single oral dose of SNAC, the absolute bioavailability of the single oral dose of PNAC-II increased by 45.5% and that of the single oral dose of PNAC-I increased by 26.1%.

[0229] [Experimental Example 3: Effects of different contents and different crystal forms of PNAC on the bioavailability of GLP-1 drugs in beagle dogs] For the preparation method of GLP-1 drug M4 (abbreviated as M4), please refer to patent application WO2019201328. For the preparation method of the composite oral tablet, please refer to the preparation method in Example 1 of Patent WO2012080471. Each of the delivery agents (SNAC, PNAC-I, PNAC-II) is combined with M4. The composite oral tablet that combines SNAC and M4 is SNAC+M4. The composite oral tablet that combines PNAC-I and M4 is PNAC-I+M4. The composite oral tablet that combines PNAC-II and M4 is PNAC-II+M4. In the composite oral tablet, the content of M4 in each tablet was 10 mg, and the contents of the delivery agents were 300 mg and 450 mg, respectively. Formulation of M4 for intravenous injection: M4 was dissolved in 8 mM, pH 7.2 phosphate buffer to a final concentration of 1 mg / mL. Twenty-eight male beagle dogs weighing 9-15 kg were divided into seven groups, with four dogs in each group, to compare the effects of different crystalline forms of PNAC on the bioavailability of M4 in beagle dogs. The group information is shown in Table 10 below. The beagle dogs in the oral administration group were fasted the night before and allowed to drink water. After administration on the same day, the tablets were taken with 10 ml of water (quantitatively), and food was resumed 4 hours later. Then, blood samples were taken according to the blood sampling scheme in Table 11 to measure the blood drug concentration at different time points and the exposure amount in the animal body AUC last The specific results are shown in Tables 12 to 14 and Figures 19 and 20.

[0230] [Table 10]

[0231] [Table 11]

[0232] [Table 12]

[0233] [Table 13]

[0234] [Table 14]

[0235] As can be seen from Table 14, the absolute bioavailability of the single oral administration group of SNAC (300 mg) was 0.70%, the absolute bioavailability of the single oral administration group of SNAC (450 mg) was 0.80%, the absolute bioavailability of the single oral administration group of PNAC-II (300 mg) was 1.20%, the absolute bioavailability of the single oral administration group of PNAC-II (450 mg) was 1.92%, the absolute bioavailability of the single oral administration group of PNAC-I (300 mg) was 1.01%, and the absolute bioavailability of the single oral administration group of PNAC-I (450 mg) was 1.72%, all of which were significantly higher than SNAC, and the PNAC absolute bioavailability increased significantly with increasing content. Compared with the single oral administration of SNAC (300 mg), PNAC-II (300 mg) The absolute bioavailability of the single oral dose of PNAC-II (450 mg) was increased by 140% and that of the single oral dose of PNAC-I (450 mg) was increased by 115% compared to the single oral dose of SNAC (450 mg). From the perspective of a single drug, the absolute bioavailability of the single oral administration group of SNAC (300 mg) was increased by only 14% compared with the single oral administration group of SNAC (450 mg), and there was no significant difference in the bioavailability between the two groups. In other words, the content of SNAC in the drug had little effect on the absolute bioavailability. Compared with the single oral administration group of PNAC-II (450 mg), the absolute bioavailability of the single oral administration group of PNAC-II (300 mg) was increased by 60%. Compared with the single oral administration group of PNAC-I (450 mg), the absolute bioavailability of the single oral administration group of PNAC-I (300 mg) was increased by 70%. Combining the absolute bioavailability of the single oral administration groups of PNAC-II and PNAC-I (100 mg) in Example 2, it could be further verified that with an increase in the content of the present PNAC in the drug, the absolute bioavailability increased significantly, and there was an unexpected qualitative improvement.

[0236] [Experimental Example 4] Solid-state stability experiments of PNAC crystal form II The crystalline form II prepared in Example 2 was divided into three groups. The first group was left at 60° C. for 24 hours to obtain a solid sample. The second group was left at 40° C. and 75% relative humidity for two weeks to obtain a solid sample. The third group was left at 25° C. and 60% relative humidity for two weeks to obtain a solid sample. Each of the three solid samples was evaluated for physical and chemical stability by XRPD and HPLC tests. Here, the HPLC test means that the crystalline form II obtained in Example 2 is used as a reference sample, and the purity obtained by HPLC purity test is 100 area%, and the relative purity is HPLC purity / reference sample purity. In the HPLC test method, a C18 reverse phase chromatographic column with a column length of 150 mm is used, and an acetonitrile-water+0.05% trifluoroacetic acid system is used as the mobile phase, and the sample is injected at a flow rate of 1.2 ml / min, and the detection is performed under the condition of a detector wavelength of UV-215 nm, and the purity of the main peak is calculated according to the normalization method. After the test, the reference samples were placed in different environments for a certain period of time, and the measured HPLC relative purity was found to be 100%. The XRPD overlay after the experiment is shown in Figure 11, which is exactly the same as the characteristic peaks of the reference samples, indicating that none of the crystal forms have changed in the solid stability experiment. The solid state stability experiment of PNAC crystal form I was carried out using the same method as above, and the results are shown in FIG.

[0237] [Experimental Example 5] Stability testing in formulations The crystalline form II obtained in Example 2 was divided into three groups. In the first group, the crystalline form II was manually ground for 10 minutes to obtain solid samples. In the second group, the crystalline form II was compressed into tablets (pressure 3 kN) to obtain solid samples. In the third group, the crystalline form II was subjected to jet milling (injection pressure 0.4 MPa, grinding pressure 0.2 MPa) to obtain solid samples. The solid samples of the three groups were characterized by XRPD and the physical stability was evaluated. Specific results are shown in Figures 12 to 14. From Figures 12-14, it can be seen that after grinding, tableting, and jet milling of crystalline form II, the crystalline form of the sample did not change. Using the same method as above, stability tests during the preparation process of PNAC crystalline form I, crystalline form II, crystalline form III and crystalline form IV were carried out, and the results are shown in Table 15. The XRPD characterization results of PNAC crystalline form I are shown in Figures 16 to 18. From Figures 16 to 18, it can be seen that after grinding, tableting, and jet milling of crystalline form I, the crystalline form of the sample did not change.

[0238] [Table 15]

[0239] As can be seen from the results in the table above, PNAC Form I and Form II are very stable, Form I only crystallizes when placed in an environment above 60% RH for a long period of time, while Form II is stable regardless of the conditions under test.
