Description
REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 855,671, filed May 31, 2019, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. [Technical Field]
[0002] TECHNICAL FIELD This disclosure relates generally to crystalline polymorphs of thiazolylpyrazole derivatives, pharmaceutical compositions containing them, and methods of using the crystalline polymorphs and compositions. [Background technology]
[0003] Cancer, the uncontrolled proliferation of cells, is a multifactorial disease characterized by tumor formation, proliferation, and, in some cases, metastasis. In the United States, more than 1.5 million people will be diagnosed with cancer this year, and more than 500,000 will die from it. Overall, at least one in three people will develop some form of cancer during their lifetime. There are more than 200 histopathologically distinct types of cancer, with breast, colorectal, and prostate cancer accounting for more than half of all new cases in the United States. Current cancer treatments vary depending on the location and stage of the cancer but generally include surgery, systemic therapy, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Despite the efforts that have been made to develop anticancer therapies, many of these remain ineffective against specific cancers.
[0004] The uncontrolled cell proliferation that characterizes cancer involves not only the chaotic control of cell proliferation but also the corresponding adjustment of energy metabolism to stimulate cell growth and division. Reprogramming of cellular metabolism has emerged as a key molecular hallmark of cancer cells. Under aerobic conditions, normal cells process glucose via glycolysis in the cytosol, first to pyruvate and then to carbon dioxide in the mitochondria. Under aerobic conditions, glycolysis is favored, and only relatively small amounts of pyruvate are exported to the oxygen-consuming mitochondria. When growth factors and nutrients are abundant, oncogenic signaling processes direct enhanced metabolism, leading to increased synthesis of macromolecules such as lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. The net effect is support for cell growth and proliferation. However, during tumorigenesis, a harsh, anoxic, nutrient-poor environment exists, challenging cells and their ability to maintain metabolic homeostasis. Cancer cells can reprogram their glucose metabolism, and therefore their energy production, by restricting their energy metabolism primarily to glycolysis, a process that was deemed primitive and inefficient by early biochemists. Despite these early theories, the metabolic signature of cancer cells is not a passive response to damaged mitochondria but rather results in oncogene-directed metabolic reprogramming necessary to support anabolic growth. Oncogene mutations that enable increased and more efficient utilization of scarce nutrients present unique targets for cancer treatment.
[0005] Particularly useful thiazolylpyrazole compounds, such as 4-(3-fluorophenyl)-1-(5-(isopropylthio)-4-(4-(trifluoromethyl)cyclohexen-1-en-1-yl)thiazol-2-yl)-3-methyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylic acid (identified herein as Compound 1), have been disclosed in International Publication Nos. WO 2018 / 102452 and WO 2018 / 102453 for the treatment of cancer. These compounds are believed to be active against cancer cells by arresting the cell cycle at the G0 / G1 phase, thereby inducing apoptosis in the cancer cells. These compounds are also believed to inhibit glutathione synthesis in cancer cells. Thus, these thiazolylpyrazole compounds show promise for the treatment of cancer.
[0006] Nevertheless, specific crystalline (morphological or polymorphic) forms of known compounds are important in drug discovery. For example, some polymorphic forms may exhibit improved thermodynamic stability, solubility, dissolution, etc., compared to other forms. As a result, some polymorphic forms may be more suitable than others in formulated pharmaceutical compositions.
[0007] Thus, there remains a need for improved forms of particularly useful anti-cancer compounds, and especially improved forms of thiazolylpyrazole compounds. Summary of the Invention

[0024] The present inventors have discovered a novel crystalline polymorph useful for the treatment of cancer. Accordingly, one aspect of the present disclosure provides a novel crystalline polymorph of 4-(3-fluorophenyl)-1-(5-(isopropylthio)-4-(4-(trifluoromethyl)cyclohex-1-en-1-yl)thiazol-2-yl)-3-methyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylic acid, optionally in the form of a hydrate or solvate thereof.
[0025] The ability of a compound to exist in different crystal structures is known as polymorphism. As used herein, "polymorph" refers to crystalline forms that have the same chemical composition but different spatial arrangements of the molecules, atoms, and / or ions that form the crystal. Although polymorphs have the same chemical composition, they differ in packing and geometric arrangement and may exhibit different physical properties, such as melting point, shape, color, density, hardness, deformability, stability, and dissolution. Polymorphs of a compound can be identified in the laboratory by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, such as XRPD, and other methods, such as infrared spectroscopy (IR). Furthermore, polymorphs of the same drug substance or active pharmaceutical ingredient, whether administered alone or formulated as a drug product (pharmaceutical composition), are well known in the pharmaceutical industry to affect, for example, the solubility, stability, flowability, handleability, compressibility of the drug substance, and the safety and efficacy of the drug product (see Brittain, H.

[0063] Therapeutic methods of the present disclosure As mentioned above, mutations that allow for increased and more efficient utilization of scarce nutrients are favored during tumorigenesis. Oncogenic Ras stimulates both glucose uptake via increased expression of GLUT1 and its utilization through anabolic pathways and its conversion to glutathione, the major cellular antioxidant. Ras also regulates glutamine metabolism, specifically directing glucose and glutamine carbons to pathways that support biosynthesis, redox homeostasis, and ultimately cell survival and proliferation. In addition to these effects on cellular metabolism, Ras has also been described to influence cell progression through the cell cycle. Specifically, Ras has been implicated in driving cell progression through the early G1 and even G2 restriction points. Ras activity at the G1 restriction point is particularly important because this event is a critical integration point for growth factor signaling, which commits cells to further division or entry into G0, or quiescence. Ras coordinates growth factor signaling to regulate the levels of cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and competitive cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors. Ras-related oncogenes, particularly KRAS (also known as k-Ras or V-Ki-ras2 Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog), have also been shown to directly affect cellular metabolism, resulting in global rearrangements of metabolic pathways. KRAS has been shown to have pleiotropic effects on glucose utilization, glutathione synthesis, redox balance, and glutamine metabolism. Glutathione, a ubiquitous intracellular peptide, has diverse functions, including regulating cell proliferation, detoxification, and antioxidant defense. Increased glutathione levels are associated with early proliferative responses (e.g., stimulating cells to shift from G0 to G1 phase of the cell cycle) and are essential for cells to enter S phase. Glutathione is also involved in regulating cell death, possibly regulating both apoptosis and necrosis. Additionally, increased glutathione levels have been reported in many tumors and are implicated in conferring drug and / or radiation resistance and interfering with chemotherapy. Therefore, inhibitors of glutathione synthesis represent unique chemotherapeutic targets.

[0085] In the pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein, one or more crystalline polymorphs or salts of the present disclosure can be present in association with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, or excipients, and, if desired, other active ingredients. Pharmaceutical compositions containing the crystalline polymorphs or salts of the present disclosure can be present in a form suitable for oral use, for example, as tablets, troches, lozenges, aqueous or oily suspensions, dispersible powders or granules, emulsions, hard or soft capsules, or syrups or elixirs.
[0086] Compositions intended for oral use can be prepared according to any suitable method for preparing pharmaceutical compositions, and such compositions can contain one or more agents selected from the group consisting of sweeteners, flavoring agents, coloring agents, and preservatives to provide a pharmaceutically elegant and palatable preparation. Tablets contain the active ingredient in admixture with non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable excipients suitable for the manufacture of tablets. These excipients can be, for example, inert diluents such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium phosphate, or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents such as cornstarch or alginic acid; binders such as starch, gelatin, or acacia; and lubricants such as magnesium stearate, stearic acid, or talc. Tablets can be uncoated or coated by known techniques. In some cases, such coatings can be prepared by suitable techniques to delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby providing a sustained action over a longer period of time. For example, a time delay material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate can be employed.
[0087] Formulations for oral use may also be presented as hard gelatin capsules in which the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent, such as calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, or kaolin, or as soft gelatin capsules in which the active ingredient is mixed with water or an oil medium, such as peanut oil, liquid paraffin, or olive oil.
[0088] Formulations for oral use may also be presented as lozenges.
[0089] Aqueous suspensions contain the active material in admixture with excipients suitable for the manufacture of aqueous suspensions. Such excipients can be suspending agents, such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydropropylmethylcellulose, sodium alginate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, gum tragacanth, and gum arabic; dispersing or wetting agents, such as naturally occurring phospholipids, phosphatides, such as lecithin, or condensation products of alkylene oxides with fatty acids, such as polyoxyethylene stearate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with long-chain aliphatic alcohols, such as heptadecaethyleneoxycetanol, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitols, such as polyoxyethylene sorbitol monooleate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, such as polyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The aqueous suspensions may also contain one or more preservatives, for example, ethyl or n-propyl p-hydroxybenzoate, one or more coloring agents, one or more flavoring agents, and one or more sweetening agents, such as sucrose or saccharin.
[0090] Oily suspensions can be prepared by suspending the active ingredient in vegetable oil, such as peanut oil, olive oil, sesame oil, or coconut oil, or mineral oil such as liquid paraffin.Oily suspensions can contain thickening agents, such as beeswax, hard paraffin, or cetyl alcohol.Sweeteners and flavoring agents can be added to provide a palatable oral preparation.These compositions can be preserved by adding antioxidants such as ascorbic acid.
[0091] Dispersible powders and granules suitable for preparing an aqueous suspension by adding water provide the active ingredient in admixture with a dispersing or wetting agent, a suspending agent, and one or more preservatives. Suitable dispersing or wetting agents or suspending agents are exemplified by those already mentioned above. Additional excipients, such as sweeteners, flavoring agents, and coloring agents, can also be present.
[0092] The pharmaceutical composition can also be in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion. The oil phase can be vegetable oil or mineral oil, or a mixture thereof. Suitable emulsifiers can be naturally occurring gums, such as gum arabic or gum tragacanth, naturally occurring phospholipids, such as soybean, lecithin, and esters or partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitols, anhydrides, such as sorbitan monooleate, and condensation products of the above partial esters with ethylene oxide, such as polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The emulsion can also contain sweeteners and flavoring agents.
[0093] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent, or excipient is not water. In other embodiments, water comprises less than 50% of the composition. In some embodiments, a composition containing less than 50% water has at least 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, or 5% water. In other embodiments, the water content is present in trace amounts in the composition.
[0094] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent, or excipient is not alcohol. In other embodiments, alcohol comprises less than 50% of the composition. In some embodiments, compositions containing less than 50% alcohol have at least 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, or 5% alcohol. In other embodiments, the alcohol content is present in trace amounts in the composition.
[0095] Syrups and elixirs can be formulated with sweeteners, such as glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol, glucose, or sucrose. Such formulations can also contain demulcents, preservatives, flavoring agents, and coloring agents. The pharmaceutical compositions can be in the form of a sterile injectable aqueous or oily suspension. This suspension can be formulated according to the art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents, as described above. Sterile injectable preparations can also be sterile injectable solutions or suspensions in non-toxic, systemically acceptable diluents or solvents, for example, as solutions in 1,3-butanediol. Acceptable vehicles and solvents that can be used include water, Ringer's solution, and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils can be used as solvents or suspending media. For this purpose, any non-irritating, fixed oil can be used, including synthetic monoglycerides or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids, such as oleic acid, find use in the preparation of injectable solutions.
[0096] The crystalline polymorph or salt of the present disclosure can also be administered in the form of suppositories, for example, for rectal administration of drugs. These compositions can be prepared by mixing the crystalline polymorph with a suitable non-irritating excipient that is solid at room temperature but liquid at rectal temperature, thereby dissolving in the rectum and releasing the drug. Such materials include cocoa butter and polyethylene glycol.
[0097] The crystalline polymorph or salt of the present disclosure can also be administered systemically in a sterile medium.Depending on the vehicle and concentration used, the drug can be either suspended or dissolved in the vehicle.Advantageously, adjuvants such as local anesthetics, preservatives, and buffering agents can be dissolved in the vehicle.
[0098] The compositions can be formulated in unit dosage forms of the active ingredient. The term "unit dosage form" means physically discrete units suitable as single doses for human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined amount of active material calculated to produce a desired therapeutic effect in association with a suitable pharmaceutical excipient.
[0099] The active crystalline polymorph can be effective over a wide dosage range and is generally administered in a pharmaceutically effective amount. However, it will be understood that the amount of crystalline polymorph actually administered will typically be determined by a physician according to the relevant circumstances, including the condition being treated, the selected route of administration, the actual crystalline polymorph being administered, the age, weight, and response of the individual patient, the severity of the patient's symptoms, etc.
[0100] To prepare solid compositions such as tablets, the primary active ingredient is mixed with pharmaceutical excipients to form a solid preformulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of the crystalline polymorphs described herein. When these preformulation compositions are referred to as homogeneous, the active ingredient is typically dispersed evenly throughout the composition, allowing the composition to be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills, and capsules. This solid preformulation is then subdivided into unit dosage forms of the type described above, containing, for example, 0.1 to about 500 mg of the active ingredient of the crystalline polymorphs described herein.
[0101] Tablets or pills can be coated or otherwise compounded to provide a dosage form that provides the advantage of prolonged action.For example, tablets or pills, oral contraceptives, can comprise an inner and outer component, the latter being in the form of an envelope surrounding the former.The two components can be separated by an enteric layer, which serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and allow the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or be delayed in release.Various materials can be used for such enteric layers or coatings, including many polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids, such as shellac paint, cetyl alcohol, and cellulose acetate.
[0102] The amount of crystalline polymorph or composition administered to a patient will vary depending on what is being administered, the purpose of the administration, e.g., prophylactic or therapeutic, the condition of the patient, the method of administration, etc. In therapeutic applications, the compositions can be administered to a patient already suffering from a disease in an amount sufficient to cure or at least partially arrest the symptoms of the disease and its complications. The effective dose will depend on the condition being treated and the judgment of the attending clinician, depending on factors such as the severity of the disease, the age, weight, and general condition of the patient, etc.
[0103] The compositions administered to patients can be in the form of pharmaceutical compositions described above. These compositions can be sterilized by conventional sterilization techniques or sterile filtered. Aqueous solutions can be packaged for ready use or lyophilized, with the lyophilized preparation being combined with a sterile aqueous carrier prior to administration. The pH of the crystalline polymorph preparation is typically 3-11, more preferably 5-9, and most preferably 7-8. It will be understood that the use of certain of the aforementioned excipients, carriers, or stabilizers will result in the formation of pharmaceutical salts.
[0104] The therapeutic dosage of a crystalline polymorph or salt can vary depending, for example, on the specific use for which the treatment is being administered, the method of administration of the crystalline polymorph, the health and condition of the patient, and the judgment of the prescribing physician. The proportion or concentration of a crystalline polymorph described herein in a pharmaceutical composition can vary depending on numerous factors, including dosage, chemical properties (e.g., hydrophobicity), and route of administration. For example, for parenteral administration, the crystalline polymorph or salt described herein can be provided in an aqueous physiological buffer solution containing about 0.1 to about 10% (weight / volume) of the crystalline polymorph. Some typical dosage ranges are about 1 μg / kg to about 1 g / kg of body weight per day. In some embodiments, the dosage range is about 0.01 mg / kg to about 100 mg / kg of body weight per day. The dosage will likely depend on variables such as the type and progression of the disease or disorder, the overall health of the particular patient, the relative biological availability of the selected crystalline polymorph, the excipient formulation, and its route of administration. Effective doses may be extrapolated from dose-response curves derived from in vitro or animal model test systems.
[0105] The crystalline polymorphs described herein can also be formulated in combination with one or more additional active ingredients, which can include any pharmaceutical agent, such as an antiviral agent, a vaccine, an antibody, an immunostimulant, an immunosuppressant, an anti-inflammatory agent, etc.
[0106] One of skill in the art would formulate the crystalline polymorphs or salts described herein as pharmaceutical formulations based, for example, on the physicochemical properties of the crystalline polymorph, the amount of the crystalline polymorph or salt required for a pharmaceutically effective amount, and the desired route of administration.

PLM images showed Form 1 as needle-shaped birefringent crystals. Based on these results, Form 1 was considered an anhydrate.
[0124] Example 3: Large-scale antisolvent crystallization of polymorph 1 Compound 1 (2.088 g) obtained in Example 1 was placed in a 20 mL vial and dissolved in 2 mL of acetone at 50° C., then filtered. The filtrate was seeded with 103.1 mg of crystalline polymorphic form 1 from Example 2. To the seeded filtrate, 12 mL of water was slowly added, and the resulting suspension was stirred at room temperature overnight.
[0125] Temperature cycling was then used to improve the crystallinity. The suspension was maintained at 50°C for 30 minutes, then the temperature was decreased to 20°C at a rate of 0.1°C / min, and then increased to 50°C at a rate of 0.5°C / min.

Finally, the temperature was decreased to 20°C at a rate of 0.1°C / min and maintained at 20°C before isolating the solid.
