[0003] One common characteristic of human cancers is overexpression of Mcl-1, which prevents cancer cells from undergoing programmed cell death (apoptosis), allowing them to survive despite extensive genetic damage.

[0004] Mcl-1 is a member of the Bcl-2 family of proteins. The Bcl-2 family includes pro-apoptotic members (such as BAX and BAK) that form homo-oligomers in the outer mitochondrial membrane shortly after activation, leading to pore formation and escape of mitochondrial contents, a step that triggers apoptosis. Anti-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family (such as Bcl-2, Bcl-XL, and Mcl-1) block the activity of BAX and BAK. Other proteins (such as BID, BIM, BIK, and BAD) exhibit additional regulatory functions. Studies have shown that Mcl-1 inhibitors may be useful in the treatment of cancer. MCl-1 is overexpressed in many cancers.

[0005] US Patent No. 9,562,061, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference, discloses AMG176 as an Mcl-1 inhibitor and provides a method for its preparation. However, alternative forms of AMG176 with improved properties are desirable, particularly for the clinical use of AMG176. Summary of the Invention [Means for solving the problem]

[0058] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical formulation is in the form of a tablet. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical formulation is in the form of an immediate release tablet. Solid oral drug compositions (e.g., tablets) or preparations have various release profiles, including immediate release profiles as referred to by FDA guidelines ("Dissolution Testing of Immediate Release Solid Oral Dosage Forms," ​​published August 1997, Section IV-A). In the dissolution testing guidelines for immediate release profiles, a material that dissolves at least 80% in the first 30-60 minutes in solution is considered an immediate release profile. Thus, an immediate release solid dosage form releases most or all of the active ingredient over a short period of time, such as 60 minutes or less, allowing for rapid absorption of the drug. In contrast, sustained release solid oral dosage forms maintain therapeutically effective plasma levels over a similarly long time interval, allowing for the release of the active ingredient over an extended period of time to improve dosing compliance and / or to alter other pharmacokinetic properties of the active ingredient.

[0059] "Pharmaceutically acceptable excipient" refers to a wide range of ingredients that can be combined with the compounds or salts of the present invention to prepare pharmaceutical compositions or formulations. Excipients are additives included in formulations because they either impart or enhance the stability, delivery and manufacturability of the drug product, and are physiologically harmless to the recipient. Regardless of the reason for including an excipient, it is an essential component of the drug product and therefore needs to be safe and well tolerated by the patient. With the teachings and guidance provided herein, one of ordinary skill in the art will easily vary the amount or range of excipients without increasing the viscosity to undesirable levels. Excipients can be selected to achieve the desired bioavailability, the desired stability, resistance to aggregation or degradation or precipitation, protection under freezing, lyophilization or high temperature conditions, or other properties. In general, excipients include, but are not limited to, diluents, colorants, vehicles, anti-adherents, glidants, disintegrants, flavors, coatings, binders, sweeteners, lubricants, adsorbents, preservatives, and the like. Examples of suitable excipients will be well known to those skilled in the art of tablet formulation and can be found, for example, in Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients (eds. Rowe, Sheskey & Quinn), 6th edition 2009.

[0065] Examples of binders include, but are not limited to, cross-linked PVP, HPMC, microcrystalline cellulose, sucrose, starch, and the like.

[0066] In some embodiments, the pharma- ceutically acceptable excipient may include one or more diluents, binders, or disintegrants. In embodiments, the pharma-ceutically acceptable excipient may include diluents including one or more of microcrystalline cellulose, starch, dicalcium phosphate, lactose, sorbitol, mannitol, sucrose, and methyldextrin, binders including one or more of povidone, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, and sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and disintegrants including one or more of crospovidone, sodium starch glycolate, and croscarmellose sodium.

[0067] The tablets provided herein may be uncoated or coated (in which case they include a coating). Although uncoated tablets may be used, it is more common to provide coated tablets, in which case a conventional non-enteric coating may be used. Film coatings are known in the art and may be composed of hydrophilic polymeric materials, including but not limited to polysaccharide materials such as hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), methylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC), hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC), poly(vinyl alcohol-co-ethylene glycol) and other water-soluble polymers.

For example, the crystalline forms can be prepared from an amorphous form, a crude form, or another crystalline form of AMG176. In some embodiments, AMG176 is combined with a solvent to form a desired crystalline form, for example as discussed in the examples below. In some embodiments, AMG176 is dissolved in a solvent or combined with a solvent to form a slurry.

[0071] Other embodiments It should be understood that the foregoing description, while being read in conjunction with the detailed description thereof, is intended to be illustrative and not limiting of the scope of the present disclosure, as defined by the scope of the appended claims. Other aspects, advantages, and modifications are within the scope of the following claims. EXAMPLES

[0072] The following examples are offered for illustrative purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0073] Materials and Methods Unless otherwise stated, commercially available reagents are used as received without further purification.

[0074] The synthesis of the starting material (AMG176) for the following process is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 9,562,061. The crystalline forms disclosed herein may be characterized using conventional means, including physical constants and spectral data.

[0075] X-ray powder diffraction: X-ray powder diffraction data were obtained using a PANalytical X-Pert Pro diffractometer. The radiation used was CuKα (1.542 Å) with a voltage and current of 45 kV and 40 mA. Data were collected at ambient temperature from 5.00 to 40.00° 2θ using a step size of 0.0167°. A low background sample holder was used and the stage was rotated with a rotation time of 2.0 seconds. The incident beam path included a 0.02 Radsolar slit, a 15 mm mask, a 4° fixed anti-scatter slit and a programmable divergence slit. The diffracted beam included a 0.02 Radsolar slit, a programmable anti-scatter slit and a 0.02 mm nickel filter.

[0076] Alternatively, XRPD patterns were collected in transmission mode using a PANalytical X'Pert PRO MPD diffractometer with an incident beam of Cu radiation generated using an Optix long microfocus source. An ellipsoidal multilayer mirror was used to focus the Cu Kα X-rays through the sample and onto the detector. Prior to analysis, a silicon standard (NIST SRM 640e) was analyzed to confirm that the observed position of the Si111 peak matched the NIST certified position. Samples were sandwiched between 3 μm thick films and analyzed in transmission geometry. A beam stop, short antiscatter extension, and knife edge were used to minimize background caused by the atmosphere. Soller slits of the incident and diffracted beams were used to minimize spread from axial divergence. Diffraction patterns were collected using a scanning position sensitive detector (X'Celerator) located 240 mm away from the sample, and data collector software v.2.2b. The data collection parameters for each pattern are shown above the images in the data section of this report, and include a divergence slit (DS) in front of the mirror.

[0077] XRPD parameters were collected in reflection mode on a PANalytical X'Pert PRO MPD diffractometer using an incident beam of Cu Kα radiation generated using a long micropoint source and a nickel filter. The diffractometer was configured to use a symmetric Bragg-Brentano geometry. Prior to analysis, a silicon standard (NIST SRM 640e) was analyzed to confirm that the observed position of the Si111 peak matched the NIST certified position. Sample specimens were packed into wells. Anti-scatter slits (SS) were used to minimize background caused by the atmosphere. Soller slits of the incident and diffracted beams were used to minimize spread from axial divergence. Diffraction patterns were collected using a scanning position sensitive detector (X'Celerator) positioned 240 mm from the sample and data collector software v.2.2b. Data acquisition parameters for each pattern are displayed in the images above in the data section of this report, including the divergence slit (DS) and incident beam SS.

[0078] In the figures referencing a given indexed XRPD pattern, agreement between the accepted peak positions marked with red bars and the observed peak positions indicates a consistent unit cell determination. Successful indexing of a pattern indicates that the sample is composed primarily of a single crystalline phase unless otherwise noted. The space group consistent with the assigned annihilation symbols, unit cell parameters, and derived quantities is labeled in the figure below. To confirm the tentative indexing solution, the molecular packing motifs within the crystalline unit cell must be determined. No attempt at molecular packing was made.

[0079] Single crystal structure: A colorless needle-like crystal (monohydrate) with dimensions of 0.18 x 0.11 x 0.05 mm was mounted on a nylon loop using a very small amount of paratone oil. The crystal was mounted and the lattice was determined to be monohydrate, then the temperature was raised to 400°K to dehydrate. The crystal was left at 400°K for 4 hours, then the temperature was lowered to 173°K to collect the data. The data was collected using a Bruker CCD (charge-coupled device)-based diffractometer equipped with an Oxford Cryostream cryostat operating at 173°K. The data was measured for 30 seconds using omega and phi scans of 0.5° per frame. The total number of images was based on the results from the program COSMO, with a redundancy of 4.0 and a completeness of 0.83 Å, expected to be 100%. Lattice parameters were obtained using APEX II software and refined using SAINT for all observed reflections. Data reduction was performed using SAINT software. Scaling and absorption corrections were applied using the SADABS multiscan technique. The structure was solved by direct methods using the SHELXS-97 program and refined by least-squares fitting to F2, SHELXL-97, implemented in SHELXTL-PC V6.10.

[0080] Differential Scanning Calorimetry: Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis was performed on a TA Instruments Q100 instrument. Approximately 1 mg sample size was weighed into a standard aluminum DSC pan, and the pan was not crimped. The sample was heated from ambient temperature to 300° C. at 10° C. / min under 50 mL / min dry nitrogen. Temperature modulated DSC analysis was performed using a TA Instruments Q100 instrument. Approximately 1 mg sample size was used in an aluminum uncrimped pan. The sample was equilibrated at 20° C., held for 5 minutes, and then heated to 300° C. at a heating rate of 3° C. / min under 50 mL / min dry nitrogen. The modulated temperature was ±0.75° C. every 45 seconds.

[0081] Alternatively, DSC was performed using a TA Instruments Q2000 Differential Scanning Calorimeter. Temperature calibration was performed using NIST tracked indium metal. Samples were placed in aluminum Tzero pans, covered with lids, and weights were accurately recorded. A weighing aluminum pan configured as the sample pan was placed on the reference side of the cell. Data collection parameters and pan configuration for each thermogram are displayed in images in the data section of this report. Thermogram method codes are abbreviations for the start and end temperatures and heating rate, e.g., -30-250-10 means "-30°C to 250°C at 10°C / min."

[0082] Alternatively, MDSC data were obtained on a TA Instruments Q2000 Differential Scanning Calorimeter equipped with a refrigerated cooling system (RCS). Temperature calibration was performed using NIST tracked indium metal. Samples were placed in aluminum DSC pans and the weights were accurately recorded. The pans were covered with lids and the lids were crimped. The weighed and crimped aluminum pans were placed in the reference side of the cell. Data were obtained using a modulated temperature amplitude of ±0.8°C and a duration of 60 seconds with an elementary heating rate of 2°C / min from -30°C to 250°C. The reported glass transition temperatures are obtained from the inflection point of the step change in the reversing heat flow versus temperature curve.

[0083] Alternatively, DSC was performed using a Mettler-Toledo DSC3+ differential scanning calorimeter. Temperature calibration was performed using adamantane, phenyl salicylate, indium, tin, and zinc. Samples were placed in hermetically sealed or open aluminum DSC pans and the weights were accurately recorded. A weighed aluminum pan configured as the sample pan was placed on the reference side of the cell. Samples were analyzed from -30 to 250°C at a ramp rate of 10°C / min. Thermograms are plotted by reference temperature (x-axis), but results are reported according to sample temperature.

[0084] Thermal Analysis: Thermogravimetric analysis was performed on a TA Instruments Q500 instrument. Sample sizes of approximately 1-5 mg were used in aluminum pans. Samples were heated at 10°C / min from ambient temperature to 400°C under 25 mL / min dry nitrogen.

[0085] Alternatively, TG analysis was performed using a TA Instruments Q5000 IR Thermogravimetric Analyzer. Temperature calibration was performed using nickel and Alumel™. Each sample was placed in an aluminum pan. The samples were hermetically sealed, the lid was drilled, and then inserted into the TG furnace. The furnace was heated under nitrogen. Data acquisition parameters for each thermogram are displayed in the images in the data section of this report. Thermogram method codes are abbreviations for the start and end temperatures and heating rate, e.g., 25-350-10 means "25°C to 350°C at 10°C / min."

[0086] Alternatively, thermogravimetric analysis was performed using a Mettler Toledo TGA / DSC3+ analyzer. Temperature calibration was performed using phenyl salicylate, indium, tin, and zinc. Samples were placed on aluminum plates. Open pans were inserted into the TG furnace. The furnace was heated under nitrogen. Each sample was heated from ambient to 350° C. at a ramp rate of 2, 5, or 10° C. / min. Thermograms are plotted by reference temperature (x-axis), but results are reported according to sample temperature.

[0087] Hygroscopicity: Hygroscopicity data was collected at 25°C using a VTI vapor sorption analyzer. Sample sizes of approximately 4-10 mg were used on standard platinum pans. Hygroscopicity was evaluated from 5 to 95% RH in 5% RH increments. Data was collected for adsorption and desorption cycles. Equilibrium criteria were set at 0.001% weight change in 10 minutes with a maximum equilibration time of 180 minutes.

[0088] NMR: Proton solution NMR spectra were obtained on a Varian UNITYINOVA-400 spectrophotometer at 25° C. by Spectral Data Services of Champaign, Ill. Samples were dissolved in DMSO-d6. In some cases, solution NMR spectra were obtained on an SSCI using an Agilent DD2-400 spectrophotometer using deuterated DMSO or methanol.

[0089] 13 C SSNMR data was obtained from 600MHz ( 1 H. All experiments were performed using a Bruker DSX spectrophotometer operating at 100 Hz. A 4 mm H / F / X spinning probe operating at a spinning frequency of 14 kHz was used. A CPMAS with the TOSS program was used with a recycle delay of 10 seconds. A 2.5 μs 1 H 90° pulse and 8μs 13 A C 180° pulse was used. Decoupling was performed using a spinal64 sequence. 4096 transients were acquired for signal averaging. Data were processed with Topspin 3.0 software.

[0090] Example 1: AMG176 Form 1 AMG176 Form 1 has acceptable pharmaceutical and physical properties, is scalable on a kilogram scale, and can be compounded during pharmaceutical formulation as the sodium salt in situ to achieve the desired drug concentration to enable IV delivery. AMG176 can also be converted to amorphous material to aid oral administration, if desired, depending on the dosage range. Dog PK studies suggested that absorption was improved by only 10-fold when AMG176 was administered as an amorphous suspension, compared to a crystalline suspension. Although improved exposure was observed by administering the amorphous material, this exposure would likely plateau if gram-level doses were required for oral delivery.

[0091] AMG176 (121 g) was dissolved in ethyl acetate. Ethanol (800 mL) was added and the combination was mixed with heating for 20 minutes. Water (250 mL) was added dropwise over 30 minutes. The slurry was cooled to room temperature for 2 hours and then further cooled in an ice bath for 4 hours before filtering. The wet cake was washed with cold 30% ethanol in water (300 mL). The cake was air dried for 2 days and further dried under vacuum at 40° C. for 4 days. The dried solid was identified as crystalline AMG176 Form 1.

[0092] AMG176 Form 1 consists of anhydrous / unsolvated AMG176 and is likely thermodynamically stable between 2 and 79 °C. The XRPD pattern for Form 1 was successfully indexed, indicating that the material consists primarily or exclusively of a single crystalline phase. The unit cell volume obtained from the indexing solution contains the minimum free volume consistent with anhydrous / unsolvated AMG176. The proton NMR spectrum for Form 1 was measured in deuterated DMSO. The spectrum was consistent with the chemical structure of AMG176.

[0093] AMG176 Form 1 was analyzed by DSC and TGA. Negligible weight loss was observed by TGA up to 220° C., consistent with anhydrous / nonsolvated material (FIG. 4). The DSC thermogram was unremarkable until a sharp endotherm occurred at 232° C., likely corresponding to simultaneous melting and decomposition (FIG. 3).

[0094] AMG176 Form 1 was also analyzed by DVS (Figure 5). The material exhibited low hygroscopicity, absorbing only 0.3% water vapor from 5% to 95% RH. All of this weight was lost upon desorption, and virtually no hysteresis was observed. XRPD of the material after DVS showed no morphological changes (Figure 7).

[0095] [Table 1]

[0096] Single crystal data: The crystal structure of AMG176 form 1 has been determined. The crystal parameters are summarized in Table 2 and the unit cell is displayed in Figure 6.

[0097] [Table 2]

[0098] Solid state stability evaluation of Form 1 of AMG 176 was performed at accelerated conditions of 25° C. / 60% RH (open), 40° C. (closed), 60° C. (closed), and 40° C. / 75% RH (open) to determine the chemical and physical stability of AMG 176. After 8 weeks, Form 1 was physically and chemically stable under all stress conditions, as displayed in FIG.

[0099] Example 2: AMG176 Form 2 AMG176 Form 2 consists of an isostructural solvate containing one mole of 2-MeTHF, THF, MTBE, or 1,4-dioxane per mole of AMG176. This form was produced from multiple slurry or steam stress experiments in relevant solvent systems. Representative samples from each solvent were characterized for comparison by XRPD indexing, proton NMR, DSC, and TGA. The solvent systems in which AMG176 Form 2 was produced were IPA / heptane, 2-MeTHF, THF / water, MTBE, and 1,4-dioxane / water.

[0100] Peak shifts consistent with isostructural solvates were observed in the XRPD patterns. Unit cell volumes from the XRPD indexing solutions and proton NMR spectra were all consistent with approximately 1 mole of each solvent in the crystal lattice. Additionally, the amount of weight loss in each of the TGA thermograms is consistent with a loss of 0.8 to 1 mole of each solvent. The desolvation events occurred at slightly different onset temperatures based on the endotherms observed by DSC, and overlays of DSC and TGA thermograms for each sample are presented in Figures 9-13 to illustrate the differences in weight loss upon heating. The DSC thermograms for the samples from 2-MeTHF and 1,4-dioxane exhibit an endothermic event concomitant with the desolvation endotherm, likely indicative of form conversion.

[0101] Based on the DSC and TGA data, experiments were designed to investigate the desolvation of various samples of AMG176 Form 2 by heating, vacuum, and VT-XRPD. Attempts to desolvate samples of Form 2 under vacuum at about 70° C. and heating at about 164-165° C. for 10 minutes were insufficient to remove the solvent.

[0102] Attempts to reproduce form 2 by slurrying in 2-MeTHF on a 600 mg scale were successful. This material was utilized for form screening experiments.

[0103] For example, AMG176 Form 2 was formed by slurrying AMG176 in IPA / heptane (1:1, 8.4 mg / mL) for 8 hours at 25° C. The solvent was evaporated. The remaining solid was identified as crystalline Form 2 by XRPD.

[0104] [Table 3]

[0105] A summary of the XRPD peak distinctions between AMG Form 1 and Form 2 is provided in Table 4 below.

[0106] [Table 4]

[0107] Example 3: Amorphous AMG176 Numerous evaporation and vapor diffusion experiments during morphology screening yielded amorphous material. Noting the ease of preparation through fast evaporation, material was prepared on a ∼500 mg scale from DCM for use in additional morphology screening experiments and characterization.

[0108] The amorphous material was characterized by proton NMR, DVS, temperature modulated DSC, and TGA. The proton NMR spectrum was consistent with the chemical structure of AMG176.

[0109] The DVS isotherm is shown in Figure 18. The amorphous material exhibited limited hygroscopicity, absorbing 0.95 wt% water vapor from 5% to 95% RH. More weight was lost (1.59%) than gained upon adsorption, likely due to loss of residual DCM and / or water from the starting material. The XRPD of the material after DVS was consistent with an amorphous material.

[0110] The observation of a glass transition (Tg) can be characteristic of the amorphous nature of a material. Temperature modulated DSC (mDSC) was performed to determine the Tg of a material and is shown in FIG. 15. mDSC allows the total heat flow signal to be separated into thermodynamic (heat capacity) and kinetic components. Thus, the Tg can typically be seen as a step change in the inversion signal. Amorphous AMG176 exhibits a Tg at approximately 163° C. (ΔCP: 0.3 J / (g° C.)). It should be noted that differences in solvent and / or water content in the sample can shift the temperature at which the glass transition occurs.

[0111] The TGA thermogram is shown in Figure 17. A gradual weight loss of 3.8 wt % was observed from 28 to 180°C, consistent with loss solvent (presumably DCM and water).

[0112] Attempts to crystallize the amorphous material were set up by steam stressing and slurrying under various conditions. The majority of the experiments led to crystallization to Form 1, except for those from related solvent systems (1,4-dioxane / water, 2-MeTHF, and MTBE) that led to Form 2. Only one experiment, steam stress with water at room temperature, did not lead to crystallization, likely due to lack of sufficient solubility.

[0113] For example, amorphous AMG176 was formed by dissolving AMG176 (3.9 g) in a minimum amount of EtOAc and then rapidly precipitating with heptane. The suspension was filtered. The remaining solid was identified as amorphous by XRPD.

[0114] Solid state stability evaluation of AMG 176 amorphous material and Form 1 was performed at 25° C. / 60% RH (open), 40° C. (closed), 60° C. (closed), and 40° C. / 75% RH (open) accelerated conditions to determine the chemical and physical stability of AMG 176. After 8 weeks, the amorphous material and Form 1 were physically and chemically stable under all stress conditions, as displayed in FIG.

[0115] Example 4: AMG176 Calcium Hydrate Form 1 AMG176 sodium salt was dissolved in ethanol at 140 mg / mL to which 0.55 equivalents of CaCl2.2H2O was added as a solution in ethanol resulting in a precipitate. The suspension was filtered and then a 0.5 mL aliquot of the filtrate was layered with heptane and then allowed to stand at room temperature to crystallize. The solid was identified as crystalline by XRPD (Figure 20).

[0116] TGA analysis showed a weight loss of approximately 5.5%, which was confirmed by TGA-IR to be due to loss of water and ethanol. Approximately 0.5 molar equivalents of Ca were detected. The Ca salt appeared to melt at approximately 301° C., recrystallize, and undergo further melting at 322° C. before decomposing. The TGA and DSC data are presented in FIG. 21.

[0117] [Table 5]

[0118] AMG176 Calcium Hydrate Form 1- 1 H NMR confirmed salt formation with residual ethanol. TGA analysis showed approximately 5.5% weight loss from 25 to 225 °C, which was confirmed by TGA-IR to be due to loss of water and ethanol. Approximately 0.5 molar equivalents of Ca were detected by CE. 1 H NMR(400MHz,DMSO-d6)δ ppm 0.78-1.04(m,4H)1.04-1.18(m,4H)1.18-1.29(m,1H)1.29-1.53(m,2H)1.54-1.79(m,4H)1.84(br d,J=7.67Hz,3H)1.91-2.11(m,4H)2.22-2.49(m,3H)2.65-2.83(m,2H)2.89-3.07(m,1H)3.07-3.12(m,3H)3.17(br d,J=14.10Hz,1H)3.34-3.60(m,6H)3.64-3.82(m,2H)3.82-4.06(m,5H)4.35(t,J=5.08Hz,1H)5.36(br dd,J=15.45,9.23Hz,2H)6.00(br s,2H)6.73(d,J=8.09Hz,2H)6.88-6.96(m,2H)7.01(dd,J=7.98,1.76Hz,2H) 7.16(d,J=2.28Hz,2H)7.27(dd,J=8.50,2.28Hz,2H)7.69(d,J=8.71Hz,1H).

[0119] Example 5: AMG176 Calcium Hydrate Form 2 AMG176 sodium was dissolved in EtOAc at 43.6 mg / mL, to which was added 0.55 equivalents of CaCl2.2H2O as a solution in ethanol. The filtrate was seeded with AMG176 calcium Form 1 and then stirred at room temperature. The solid was identified as crystalline by XRPD (Figure 22).

[0120] AMG176Ca salt Form 2 had a weight loss of approximately 3.6% by TGA (Figure 30), consistent with the presence of 3.2% water. Moisture sorption analysis showed a weight gain of approximately 5.2% at 70% RH and 23% at 95% RH, likely due to the presence of residual NaCl (Figure 23). The Ca content was determined to be 3.17%, which corresponds to approximately 0.5 moles of Ca. The water solubility of the crystalline salt was determined to be approximately 24 μg / mL.

[0121] [Table 6]

[0122] AMG176 Calcium Hydrate Form 2- 1 H NMR confirmed salt formation with residual ethanol. TGA from 25 to 225 °C showed a weight loss of 3.6%, which was confirmed to be water (3.2%) by KF. The Ca content was determined by capillary electrophoresis to be 3.17%, which corresponds to 0.5 moles of calcium. 1 H NMR(400MHz,DMSO-d6)δ ppm 0.85(d,J=6.01Hz,3H)0.99-1.21(m,5H)1.24-1.44(m,1H)1.55-1.79(m,3H)1.84(br d,J=7.46Hz,3H)1.91-2.09(m,4H)2.22-2.48(m,2H)2.65-2.83(m,2H)2 .89-3.07(m,1H)3.09(s,2H)3.13-3.31(m,1H)3.34-3.60(m,4H)3.72(br d,J=14.93Hz,1H)3.85-4.03(m,3H)4.35(t,J=5.08Hz,1H)5.36(dd,J=15.34,9.12Hz,1H)6.01(br dd,J=15.65,8.40Hz,1H)6.72(d,J=8.09Hz,1H)6.91-6.97(m,1H)7.01(dd,J=7.98,1. 76Hz,2H)7.16(d,J=2.28Hz,2H)7.27(dd,J=8.50,2.28Hz,2H)7.70(d,J=8.71Hz,1H).

[0123] Example 6: AMG176 Calcium Hydrate Form 3 AMG176 calcium salt Form 2 was stirred in water at 17.5 mg / mL for 24 hours at 25° C. The solid was characterized as crystalline by XRPD.

[0124] Upon TGA analysis, there was a weight loss of approximately 3.5% (Figure 26), likely the result of water loss based on a KF of 4.3% water. A melting point of approximately 314°C was observed by DSC analysis (Figure 25). The material was determined to be hygroscopic, absorbing approximately 7.4% water at 95% RH (Figure 27). The amount of Ca present in the sample was approximately 1.8%, which was lower than expected.

[0125] [Table 7]

[0126] AMG176 Calcium Hydrate Form 3- 1 H NMR spectrum confirmed no salt formation and no residual organic solvents. The water content was 4.3% by KF. 1H NMR(400MHz,DMSO-d6)δ ppm 0.85(br d,J=6.01Hz,3H)1.13(d,J=7.05Hz,3H)1.36(br t,J=9.85Hz,1H)1.55-1.79(m,3H)1.84(br d,J=7.46Hz,2H)1.92-2.03(m,3H)2.21-2.48(m,2H)2.65-2.83(m,2H)2 .89-3.07(m,1H)3.09(s,2H)3.13-3.31(m,1H)3.44-3.62(m,2H)3.72(br d,J=14.72Hz,2H)3.86-4.06(m,3H)5.36(br dd,J=15.24,9.02Hz,2H)6.01(br dd,J=15.13,8.09Hz,1H)6.72(d,J=8.09Hz,1H)6.92-6.97(m,1H)7.01(dd,J=8.09,1. 66Hz,1H)7.16(d,J=2.49Hz,1H)7.27(dd,J=8.50,2.49Hz,1H)7.70(d,J=8.50Hz,1H).

[0127] Example 7: Amorphous AMG176 calcium hydrate Amorphous AMG 176 calcium hydrate appeared by microscopy as irregularly shaped particles with some minor birefringence present. When analyzed by XRPD, the amorphous material did not exhibit any characteristic diffraction peaks (Figure 28). Approximately 2% weight loss was observed by TGA (Figure 30), likely due to residual solvent. DSC analysis showed a melting endotherm at approximately 292°C (Figure 29). The amorphous material likely recrystallized during the analysis even though no distinct recrystallization endotherm was observed. During moisture sorption analysis, the amorphous material was determined to be hygroscopic with approximately 9% weight gain at 95% RH (Figure 31).

[0128] The amorphous material exhibited limited hygroscopicity, absorbing 0.95 wt.% water vapor from 5% to 95% RH. More weight was lost (1.59%) than gained upon adsorption, likely due to loss of residual DCM and / or water from the starting material. XRPD of the material after DVS was consistent with amorphous material.
