Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of crystalline pharmaceutical technology, and specifically relates to crystals of N-(benzoyl)-phenylalanine-based compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing the crystalline pharmaceuticals, and preparation methods and uses of the crystalline pharmaceuticals. In particular, it relates to two types of crystals of (S)-2-(2-chloro-6-fluorobenzamide)-3-(4-(6’,7’-difluoro-2’-oxospiro[cyclopropane-1,3’-indolin]-1’-yl)phenyl)propionic acid, corresponding pharmaceutical compositions, and preparation methods and uses of the two crystal forms.
Background Art
[0002] Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a disease that mainly causes chronic inflammation in the digestive tract. IBD includes ulcerative colitis (UC), Crohn's disease (CD), and indeterminate colitis. For example, in the occurrence and exacerbation process of IBD, immune cells migrate to the intestinal tract site and abnormally aggregate in the intestinal mucosal layer through the interaction between α4β7 integrin and its ligand mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule 1 (MAdCAM-1). α4β7 integrin controls the migration of lymphocytes to the intestinal tissue and their retention in the intestine through the interaction with MAdCAM-1.
[0003] It has been pointed out that inhibiting the interaction between integrin and its ligand is an effective method for treating multiple types of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, and inhibiting the α4β7-MAdCAM-1 interaction has already shown a therapeutic effect on inflammatory bowel diseases (such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis).
[0004] PCT / CN2021 / 132456 reports N-(benzoyl)-phenylalanine-based compounds with strong α4β7-MAdCAM-1 inhibitory activity and useful for the prevention and / or treatment of diseases related to α4β7 integrin (such as autoimmune diseases and inflammatory diseases). Among them, the chemical name is (S)-2-(2-chloro-6-fluorobenzamide)-3-(4-(6’,7’-difluoro-2’-oxospiro[cyclopropane-1,3’-indoline]-1’-yl)phenyl)propionic acid, and the compound is included. The preparation method of this compound is as follows: Dissolve methyl (S)-2-(2-chloro-6-fluorobenzamide)-3-(4-(6’,7’-difluoro-2’-oxospiro[cyclopropane-1,3’-indoline]-1’-yl)phenyl)propionate in tetrahydrofuran, and further add 0.5 mol / L aqueous sodium hydroxide solution to the reaction system, and carry out the reaction at room temperature for 2 h. Adjust the pH of the reaction system to 1-2 with 2 mol / L dilute hydrochloric acid, extract with dichloromethane three times (2 mL each time), combine the organic layers, wash the organic layer with water and saturated brine once each, dry over anhydrous sodium sulfate, extract and filter, concentrate under reduced pressure, and purify the concentrate by reverse-phase HPLC (H 2 O / CH 3 CN system) to obtain the compound represented by formula (I).
[0005]
Chemical formula
[0006] The product obtained by the above method is an amorphous substance (as shown in Figure 7). Amorphous substances are relatively unstable solid forms in thermodynamics and are prone to occurences such as transitions and decompositions. Therefore, the chemical purity of the compound decreases, which in turn affects the final quality of the pharmaceutical product.
