[Technical Field]
[0001] RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority to and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 555,390, filed September 7, 2017, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. [Background technology]
[0002] Background Signal transduction is any process by which a cell converts one type of signal or stimulus into another. Protein kinases are involved in signal transduction. Tyrosine kinases are enzymes that can transfer a phosphate group from ATP to a tyrosine residue in a protein through a process called phosphorylation, which is an important mechanism in signal transduction for the regulation of enzyme activity. Because kinases are involved in the regulation of a wide variety of normal cellular signaling pathways, they are thought to play a role in many diseases and disorders. Approximately 50% of known oncogene products are protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs), and their kinase activity has been shown to cause cellular transformation. Therefore, modulation of kinase signaling cascades may be an important means for treating or preventing diseases and disorders.
[0003] Various known inhibitors of protein kinases have various therapeutic uses. One promising therapeutic use of protein kinase inhibitors is as an anti-cancer agent. 2-(5-(4-(2-morpholinoethoxy)phenyl)pyridin-2-yl)-N-benzylacetamide is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that can modulate kinase cascades. The free base compound is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 7,300,931.
[0004] Polymorphism of a compound affects many of the compound's properties, such as solubility, hygroscopicity, chemical reactivity, and stability. Many of the inconsistencies encountered in drug performance can be attributed to polymorphism. Despite the importance of polymorphism, methods for predicting the possible existence of polymorphs of a compound and the conditions under which polymorphs may form are unreliable, and methods for creating polymorphs often fail to consistently and reliably produce polymorphs.
[0005] Therefore, there is a pressing need to discover solid forms of 2-(5-(4-(2-morpholinoethoxy)phenyl)pyridin-2-yl)-N-benzylacetamide that exhibit desirable physicochemical properties. The present application addresses this need. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0102] The terms "crystalline polymorph," "crystalline polymorph," "crystalline form," "polymorph," or "polymorphic form" refer to crystalline structures in which a compound (e.g., its free base, salt, or solvate) can crystallize in different crystal packing arrangements, all of which have the same elemental composition. Different crystalline forms typically have different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, melting points, densities, crystalline shapes, optical and electrical properties, stability, and solubility. The crystallization solvent, rate of crystallization, storage temperature, and other factors may cause one crystalline form to dominate. Crystalline polymorphs of a compound can be prepared by crystallization under different conditions. Furthermore, crystalline polymorphism may exist, but is not limited to it, and any crystalline form may be a single or mixture of crystalline forms, or anhydrous or hydrated crystalline forms.
[0103] The differences in physical properties exhibited by polymorphs are the result of the arrangement or conformation of molecules in the crystal lattice and can affect pharmaceutical parameters such as storage stability, compressibility and density (important in formulation and product manufacturing), and dissolution rate (an important factor in bioavailability). Differences in stability can also be due to changes in chemical reactivity (e.g., differential oxidation, such that a dosage form fades more rapidly when composed of one polymorph than when composed of another), mechanical properties (e.g., tablets crumble on storage as a kinetically favored polymorph converts to a thermodynamically more stable polymorph), or both (e.g., tablets of one polymorph are more susceptible to disintegration at high humidity). In extreme cases, as a result of solubility / dissolution differences, some polymorphic transitions can result in a lack of efficacy or, at the other extreme, toxicity. Additionally, the physical properties of the crystals may be important in processing; for example, one polymorph may be more prone to forming solvates, or may be difficult to filter and wash away impurities (e.g., particle shape and size distribution may differ between polymorphs). do.
[0104] The term "amorphous form" refers to a non-crystalline solid form of a substance.
[0105] Furthermore, the compounds of the present application (e.g., free bases and salts, as well as amorphous forms, crystalline forms, and polymorphs thereof) can exist in either hydrated or unhydrated (anhydrous) form, or as solvates with other solvent molecules or in unsolvated form. Non-limiting examples of hydrates include hemihydrates, monohydrates, dihydrates, etc. Non-limiting examples of solvates include DMSO solvates, DMSO hemisolvates, etc.
[0106] All forms of the compounds of the present application are contemplated, either in admixture or in pure or substantially pure form, including crystalline forms of racemic mixtures and crystalline forms of individual isomers.
[0107] Polymorphs of a molecule can be obtained by a number of methods known in the art, including, but not limited to, melt recrystallization, melt cooling, solvent recrystallization, desolvation, rapid evaporation, rapid cooling, slow cooling, vapor diffusion, and sublimation.
[0108] Techniques for characterizing solid forms of a compound, such as polymorphs, include, but are not limited to, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray powder diffractometry (XRPD), single crystal X-ray diffractometry, vibrational spectroscopy (e.g., infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy), TGA, DTA, DVS, solid state NMR, hot stage optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron crystallography and quantitative analysis, particle size analysis (PSA), surface area analysis, solubility studies, and dissolution studies.
[0109] As used herein, the term "solvate" refers to a solvent addition form containing either stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts of solvent. Some compounds tend to trap a fixed molar ratio of solvent molecules in the crystalline solid state, thus forming a solvate. When the solvate is water, the solvate formed is a hydrate, and when the solvent is alcohol, the solvate formed is an alcoholate. Hydrates are formed by the combination of one substance with one or more water molecules, where water retains its molecular state as HO, and such combinations can form one or more hydrates. For example, the solvate may be a DMSO solvate, a dichloromethane (DCM) solvate, a methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) solvate, or a tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvate.
[0110] As used herein, the terms "unsolvated" or "desolvated" refer to solid state forms of a substance that do not contain a solvent (e.g., crystalline forms, amorphous forms, and polymorphs).
[0111] As used herein, the term "pure" refers to a compound that is about 90-100%, preferably 95-100%, and more preferably 98-100% (wt / wt) or 99-100% (wt / wt) pure, e.g., having less than about 10%, less than about 5%, less than about 2%, or less than about 1% of impurities present. Such impurities include, for example, decomposition products, oxidation products, solvents, and / or other undesirable impurities.
[0112] As used herein, a compound is "stable" if no significant amount of degradation products are observed under constant conditions of humidity (e.g., 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, and 95% RH), light exposure, and temperature (e.g., above 0°C, e.g., 20°C, 25°C, 30°C, 35°C, 40°C, 45°C, 50°C, 55°C, 60°C, 65°C, and 70°C) over a period of time (e.g., 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, and 4 weeks). A compound is not considered stable under certain conditions when degradation impurities appear or the area percentage of existing impurities (e.g., AUC as determined by HPLC) begins to increase. The amount of degradation increase as a function of time is important in determining the stability of a compound. In some embodiments, a compound is less stable if it exhibits high hygroscopicity (i.e., a tendency to absorb water under high humidity conditions). Thus, in some embodiments, the stability of a compound can be measured by assessing its hygroscopicity: a compound is more hygroscopic if it absorbs more water than another compound under the same storage conditions (e.g., the same humidity and / or temperature).
[0113] As used herein, the term "mixing" means combining, blending, stirring, shaking, rolling or agitating. The term "agitating" means mixing, shaking, agitating or rotating. The term "agitating" means mixing, shaking, agitating or rotating.
[0114] Unless expressly stated otherwise, the terms "approximately" and "about" are synonymous. In one embodiment, "approximately" and "about" represent the stated amount, value, or time period ±10%, ±8%, ±6%, ±5%, ±4%, ±2%, ±1%, or ±0.5%. In another embodiment, "approximately" and "about" represent the recited amount, value, or time period ±10%, ±8%, ±6%, ±5%, ±4%, or ±2%. In yet another embodiment, "approximately" and "about" represent the recited amount, value, or time period ±5%. In yet another embodiment, "approximately" and "about" represent the recited amount, value, or time period ±2% or ±1%.
[0115] When the terms "approximately" and "about" are used when describing XRPD peaks, these terms refer to the listed X-ray powder diffraction peak ±0.3°2θ, ±0.2°2θ, or ±0.1°2θ. In another embodiment, the terms "approximately" and "about" refer to the listed X-ray powder diffraction peak ±0.2°2θ. In another embodiment, the terms "approximately" and "about" refer to the listed X-ray powder diffraction peak ±0.1°2θ.

In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition comprises a solid form of Compound A of the present application and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, and the pharmaceutical composition is formulated for topical administration.
[0132] A "pharmaceutical composition" is a formulation containing a compound of the present application in a form suitable for administration to a subject. In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition is in bulk or in unit dosage form. The unit dosage form may be in any of a variety of forms, such as, for example, a capsule, an IV bag, a tablet, a single pump of an aerosol inhaler, or a vial. The amount of active ingredient (e.g., one or more formulations of the disclosed compounds) in a unit dose of the composition is an effective amount and will vary according to the specific treatment involved. Those skilled in the art will recognize that routine modifications to dosages are sometimes necessary depending on the age and condition of the patient. Dosages will also depend on the route of administration. Various routes are contemplated, including topical, oral, pulmonary, rectal, parenteral, transdermal, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, inhalation, buccal, sublingual, intrapleural, intrathecal, intranasal, and the like. Dosage forms for topical or transdermal administration of the compounds of the present disclosure include powders, sprays, ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, solutions, patches, and inhalants. In one aspect, the active compound is admixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and with any preservatives, buffers, or propellants that are required.
[0133] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable" means, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or challenge, commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio. The term "compounds," "materials," "compositions," "carriers," and / or "dosage forms" refers to compounds, materials, compositions, carriers, and / or dosage forms that
[0134] A "pharmaceutically acceptable excipient" generally refers to an excipient that is safe, non-toxic, and not biologically or otherwise undesirable, and that is useful in preparing pharmaceutical compositions, and includes excipients that are acceptable for human pharmaceutical use as well as veterinary use. As used in the specification and claims, "pharmaceutically acceptable excipient" includes both one and more than one such excipient.
[0135] The pharmaceutical compositions of the present application are formulated to be compatible with their intended route of administration. Examples of routes of administration include parenteral (e.g., intravenous), intradermal, subcutaneous, oral (e.g., inhalation), transdermal, topical, and transmucosal administration. Solutions or suspensions used for parenteral, intradermal, or subcutaneous application can contain the following components: a sterile diluent such as water for injection, saline solution, fixed oils, polyethylene glycol, glycerin, propylene glycol, or other synthetic solvents; an antibacterial agent such as benzyl alcohol or methylparaben; an antioxidant such as ascorbic acid or sodium bisulfite; a chelating agent such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid; a buffer such as acetate, citrate, or phosphate; and an agent for adjusting osmolality such as sodium chloride or dextrose. pH can be adjusted with acids or bases such as hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide. Parenteral preparations can be enclosed in ampoules, disposable syringes, or multiple-dose vials made of glass or plastic.
[0136] The compounds or pharmaceutical compositions of the present application can be administered to a subject by many of the well-known methods currently used for treatment. For example, for the treatment of cancer, the compounds of the present application can be injected directly into a tumor, injected into the bloodstream or a body cavity, taken orally, or applied to the skin using a patch. The selected dose should be sufficient to constitute effective treatment, but not so high as to cause unacceptable side effects. The state of the disease condition (e.g., cancer, precancer, etc.) and the patient's health should preferably be closely monitored during and for a reasonable period after treatment.
[0137] The pharmaceutical compositions of the present application may also be formulated for topical administration. Topical compositions may be administered to affected areas of a subject, such as the skin. The affected areas of the skin may be located on one or more areas independently selected from the scalp, forehead, forearm, face, nose, ears, eyelids, lips, neck, arms, hands, torso, legs, and feet. In one embodiment, there may be more than one affected area. In one embodiment, there may be more than one affected area located on one or more areas independently selected from the scalp, forehead, forearm, face, nose, ears, eyelids, lips, neck, arms, hands, torso, legs, and feet.
[0138] As used herein, the term "therapeutically effective amount" refers to an amount of an agent to treat, alleviate, or prevent a specified disease or condition, or to exhibit a detectable therapeutic or inhibitory effect. The effect can be detected by any assay method known in the art. The precise effective amount for a subject will depend on the subject's weight, size, and health; the nature and extent of the condition; and the therapeutic agent or combination of therapeutic agents selected for administration. The therapeutically effective amount for a given situation can be determined by routine experimentation, which is within the skill and judgment of the clinician. In a preferred aspect, the disease or condition to be treated is cancer. In another aspect, the disease or condition to be treated is a cell proliferative disorder.
[0139] For any compound, the therapeutically effective amount can be estimated initially in cell culture assays, for example, of neoplastic cells, or in animal models, usually rats, mice, rabbits, dogs, or pigs. Animal models can also be used to determine appropriate concentration ranges and routes of administration. Such information can then be used to determine useful doses and routes for administration in humans. Therapeutic / prophylactic efficacy and toxicity, e.g., ED 50 (the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population) and LD 50 The LD (the dose lethal to 50% of the population) can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals. The dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index, and the LD 50 / ED 50 Pharmaceutical compositions that exhibit large therapeutic indices are preferred. The dosage can vary within this range depending upon the dosage form used, sensitivity of the patient, and the route of administration.
[0140] Dosage and administration are adjusted to provide sufficient levels of the active agent or to maintain the desired effect. Factors that may be considered include the severity of the disease state, the subject's general health, the subject's age, weight, and sex, diet, timing and frequency of administration, drug combinations, reaction sensitivities, and tolerance / response to treatment. Long-acting pharmaceutical compositions may be administered every 3-4 days, weekly, or once every two weeks, depending on the half-life and clearance rate of the particular formulation.
[0141] Pharmaceutical compositions containing the active compounds of the present application can be prepared in a generally known manner, for example, by conventional mixing, dissolving, granulating, dragee-making, powdering, emulsifying, encapsulating, encapsulating, or lyophilizing processes. Pharmaceutical compositions can be formulated in a conventional manner using one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers containing excipients and / or adjuvants that facilitate the processing of the active compounds into pharmaceutically usable preparations. Of course, the appropriate formulation depends on the selected route of administration.
[0142] Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions (where water soluble) or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersion. For intravenous administration, suitable carriers include physiological saline, bacteriostatic water, Cremophor EL™ (BASF, Parsippany, NJ), or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). In all cases, the composition must be sterile and should be fluid to the extent that easy syringability exists. The composition must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene glycol, and the like), and suitable mixtures thereof. Proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by the use of surfactants. Prevention of microbial action can be achieved by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, ascorbic acid, thimerosal, etc. In many cases, it will be preferable to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars, polyalcohols such as mannitol, sorbitol, sodium chloride in the composition. Prolonged absorption of injectable compositions can be brought about by including in the composition an agent which delays absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin.
[0143] Sterile injectable solution can be prepared by incorporating active compound in the required amount in suitable solvent with one or combination of the above-listed components as needed, then sterilizing by filtration.Generally, dispersion is prepared by incorporating active compound into sterile vehicle that contains basic dispersion medium and other components required from the above-listed components.For the preparation of sterile powder for sterile injectable solution, the method of preparation is vacuum drying and freeze-drying, which produces powder of active ingredient and any other desired component from the solution of active ingredient and any other desired component that has been previously sterilized and filtered.
[0144] Oral compositions generally contain an inert diluent or an edible pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Oral compositions can be enclosed in gelatin capsules or compressed into tablets. For oral therapeutic administration, the active compound can be incorporated with excipients and used in the form of tablets, troches, or capsules. Oral compositions can also be prepared using a liquid carrier for use as a mouthwash, where the compound in the liquid carrier is applied orally and swished, expectorated, or swallowed. Pharmaceutically compatible binding agents and / or adjuvant materials can be included as part of the composition. The tablets, pills, capsules, troches and the like can contain any of the following ingredients, or compounds of a similar nature: a binder such as microcrystalline cellulose, gum tragacanth or gelatin; an excipient such as starch or lactose, a disintegrating agent such as alginic acid, Primogel or corn starch; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate or Sterotes; a glidant such as colloidal silicon dioxide; a sweetening agent such as sucrose or saccharin; or a flavoring agent such as peppermint, methyl salicylate or orange flavor.
[0145] For administration by inhalation, the compounds are delivered in the form of an aerosol spray from pressured container or dispenser which contains a suitable propellant, eg, a gas such as carbon dioxide, or a nebulizer.
[0146] Systemic administration can also be via transmucosal or transdermal routes. For transmucosal or transdermal administration, penetrants appropriate to the barrier to be permeated are used in the formulation. Such penetrants are generally known in the art and include, for example, for transmucosal administration, detergents, bile acids, and fusidic acid derivatives. Transmucosal administration can be achieved through the use of nasal sprays or suppositories. For transdermal administration, the active compound is formulated into ointments, salves, gels, or creams, as generally known in the art.
[0147] The active compounds can be prepared with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers that can protect the compound against rapid elimination from the body, such as controlled-release formulations, including implants and microencapsulated delivery systems. Biodegradable, biocompatible polymers can be used, such as ethylene vinyl acetate, polyanhydrides, polyglycolic acid, collagen, polyorthoesters, and polylactic acid. Methods for preparing such formulations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Materials can also be obtained commercially. Liposomal suspensions (including liposomes targeted to infected cells using monoclonal antibodies against viral antigens) can also be used as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. These can be prepared according to methods known to those skilled in the art, for example, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,522,811.
[0148] For ease of administration and uniformity of dosage, it is particularly advantageous to prepare oral or parenteral compositions in dosage unit form.Dosage unit form as used herein refers to a physically discrete unit suitable as a unitary dosage for the subject to be treated, and each unit contains a predetermined amount of active compound calculated to produce desired therapeutic effect in association with required pharmaceutical carrier.The specification for dosage unit form of the present disclosure is determined and directly depends on the inherent characteristics of active compound and the specific therapeutic effect to be achieved.
[0149] In therapeutic applications, dosages of pharmaceutical compositions used in accordance with the present disclosure will vary depending on the agent, the age, weight, and clinical condition of the patient being treated, and the experience and judgment of the clinician or practitioner administering the treatment, among other factors influencing the selected dosage. Generally, the dose should be sufficient to cause a delay, preferably regression, of tumor growth, and preferably complete regression of the cancer. Dosages can range from about 0.01 mg / kg / day to about 5,000 mg / kg / day. An effective amount of an agent is one that provides an objectively identifiable improvement as noted by a clinician or other qualified observer. For example, tumor regression in a patient can be measured with reference to tumor diameter. A decrease in tumor diameter indicates regression. Regression can also be indicated by failure of tumor to recur after treatment has ceased. As used herein, the term "dosage-effective manner" refers to a dose-effective manner in which the tumor is administered. It represents the amount of active compound required to produce a desired biological effect in an animal or cell.
[0150] The pharmaceutical compositions can be included in a container, pack, or dispenser together with instructions for administration.
[0151] The compounds of the present application may be administered topically, orally, nasally, transdermally, pulmonary, inhalationally, bucally, sublingually, intraperitoneally, subcutaneously, intramuscularly, intravenously, rectally, intrapleurally, intrathecally, and parenterally. In one embodiment, the compounds are administered orally. Those skilled in the art will recognize the advantages of certain routes of administration.

This inner vial was placed inside a larger vial (e.g., 20 mL) containing 3-4 mL of a volatile solvent. The outer vial was then sealed. The system was kept at room temperature for 7 days to allow the solvent vapor to interact with the solid. The resulting solid was isolated and analyzed by XRPD.
[0195] Polymer-induced crystallization: 5–15 mg of compound A sample was weighed into a glass vial. A predetermined amount of selected solvent was then added to dissolve the sample. The corresponding polymer was then added to the vial, and the sample was stirred at room temperature for 7 days. The resulting solid was isolated and analyzed by XRPD.
