Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of chemical pharmaceuticals. Specifically, the present invention relates to novel crystal forms A, B, C, D, E of (6-(4-fluoro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridazin-3-yl)(3-(4-methyl-6-((5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)pyrimidin-2-yl)-3,8-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-8-yl)methyl ketone, a piperazine amide derivative, and a method for producing the same. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition containing the above novel crystal form and its pharmaceutical use.

Background Art

[0002] The rearranged during transfection (RET) gene is an oncogene that encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase and regulates cell growth and survival. Activation of this gene requires dimer formation through interaction with receptors of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor family and their α receptors, regulation of the signal pathway by phosphorylation, and the exertion of signal transduction and life activity regulation functions. Abnormal expression of the RET gene is associated with various cancer diseases. Since this gene can continuously maintain an activated state without ligand dependence through chromosomal rearrangement to fuse with other genes or through site-specific mutations, it leads to abnormal signal pathways, which may cause excessive cell proliferation and the onset of cancer.

[0003] In recent years, evidence has been increasing that RET gene fusions and mutations are the driving forces inducing some cancers, showing significant specificity without overlapping with other driver genes. RET gene fusions are often found in papillary thyroid cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. For example, 30% of sporadic papillary thyroid cancers, 70% of radiation-induced papillary thyroid cancers, and about 2% of non-small cell lung cancers are driven by RET gene fusions. RET gene mutations are often found in medullary thyroid cancer. For example, more than 50% of medullary thyroid cancers, almost all congenital medullary cancers, and multiple endocrine neoplasia are induced by site-specific mutations of the RET gene.

[0004] To treat cancer patients with RET gene fusions or mutations, currently, multi-target kinase inhibitors with RET kinase inhibitory activity are mainly used as the main treatment method. However, under this condition, due to off-target effects and drug toxicity, the drug dosage does not reach a level sufficient to inhibit the abnormal expression of the RET gene. Also, during cancer treatment, cancer cells may develop drug resistance due to mutations. Once drug resistance occurs, the treatment options for patients will be very limited. Therefore, currently, selective RET kinase inhibitors for treating cancer patients with RET gene fusions or mutations are highly needed.

[0005] International Patent Publication WO2020 / 207419A1 discloses a piperazine amide derivative having a structure represented by the following Formula I, with a molecular formula of C 23 H 24 FN 11 O, and a chemical name of (6-(4-fluoro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridazin-3-yl)(3-(4-methyl-6-((5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)pyrimidin-2-yl)-3,8-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-8-yl)methyl ketone. International Patent Publication WO2020 / 207419A1 further discloses a method for producing the compound represented by Formula I and its use as a RET kinase inhibitor, and it has been shown that the compound has a good RET kinase inhibitory effect.

Chemical Formula

[0006] However, the compound represented by the above formula I disclosed in International Patent Publication WO2020 / 207419A1 has an amorphous form of the solid prepared according to its production method, and is not sufficient in terms of stability, particle size, fluidity, hygroscopicity, etc. In particular, the amorphous particles disclosed in International Patent Publication WO2020 / 207419A1 have a small particle size and poor fluidity, and are not suitable for the forming process of solid preparations (such as tablets, capsules or granules).

[0007] Currently, in the prior art, a form of the compound represented by formula I that is suitable for pharmaceutical forming and has desirable stability has not yet been disclosed, and there has been no report on the crystal form of the compound represented by formula I. As a result of a large number of experiments by the present inventors, a crystal form of the compound represented by formula I was obtained.

[0087] General Definitions and Terms Unless otherwise specified, the scientific and technical terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art. In case of any conflict, the definitions provided in this application shall prevail. When representing an amount, concentration, other value, or parameter in the form of a range, a preferred range, or a preferred numerical upper limit and a preferred numerical lower limit, it should be understood that, whether or not the range is specifically disclosed, it is equivalent to specifically disclosing any range formed by combining any pair of a range upper limit or a preferred numerical value with any range lower limit or a preferred numerical value. Unless otherwise specified, the numerical ranges described in this specification are intended to include the endpoints of the range and all integers and fractions (decimals) within that range.

[0088] The terms "about" and "approximately" when used with a numerical variable generally mean that the numerical value of the variable and all numerical values of the variable are within the experimental error (e.g., within the 95% confidence interval of the average value), or within ±10% of a given numerical value, or within a wider range.

[0089] The expression "comprising" or similar expressions synonymous therewith such as "including", "containing", and "having" are open-ended and do not exclude other unrecited elements, steps, or components. The expression "consisting of" means excluding any unspecified element, step, or component. The expression "consisting essentially of" is limited to a range that includes, in addition to the specified elements, steps, or components, optionally existing elements, steps, or components that do not substantially affect the basic and novel features of the claimed subject matter. It should be understood that the expression "comprising" encompasses the expressions "consisting essentially of" and "consisting of".

[0090] As used herein, the terms "optional" or "optionally" mean that the events or circumstances described hereinafter may or may not occur. This expression includes the occurrence and non-occurrence of the said events or circumstances.

[0091] Unless otherwise specified, all percentages, parts by number, etc. used herein are by weight.

[0092] As used herein, the term "crystalline form" or "crystal" refers to any solid substance having three-dimensional order and, unlike an amorphous solid substance, gives rise to a characteristic powder X-ray diffraction pattern with well-defined boundary peaks.

[0093] As used herein, the term "amorphous" refers to any solid substance that does not have three-dimensional order.

[0094] As used herein, the term "X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) pattern" refers to an experimentally observed diffraction pattern or parameters, data or numerical values derived therefrom. The XRPD pattern is usually characterized by peak position (abscissa) and / or peak intensity (ordinate).

[0095] As used herein, the term "2θ" refers to the peak position expressed in degrees (°) set in an X-ray diffraction experiment and is usually the unit of the horizontal axis in a diffraction pattern. When the incident beam makes an angle θ with a specific lattice plane and the reflection is diffracted, it is necessary to record the reflected beam at a 2θ angle in the experimental setup. It should be understood that the specific 2θ value of a specific crystal form referred to herein is intended to represent the 2θ value (expressed in degrees) measured using the X-ray diffraction experimental conditions described herein. For example, as described herein, Cu-Kα (where Kα1 is 1.5418 Å) is used as the radiation source. The XRPD pattern herein can be collected, for example, using a Rigaku MiniFlex-600 powder X-ray diffractometer. Exemplary test conditions are: scan speed: 10° / min, scan step width: 0.01°.

[0096] As used herein, the term "substantially" with respect to an X-ray diffraction peak means taking into account representative peak positions and intensity variations. For example, as understood by those skilled in the art, the peak position (2θ) may typically exhibit some variations on the order of 0.1 to 0.2 degrees (±0.1 to ±0.2 degrees), and some variations may also occur depending on the equipment used for the diffraction measurement. Also, as understood by those skilled in the art, the relative peak intensity may vary depending on differences between instruments, crystallinity, preferred orientation, the surface of the prepared sample, and other factors known to those skilled in the art, and should be regarded as only a qualitative measurement result.

[0097] As used herein, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measures the transition temperature when a crystal absorbs or releases heat due to a change in crystal structure or melting of the crystal. During continuous analysis of the same crystal form of the same compound, the error in the heat transition temperature and melting point is typically within about 5 °C. When it is described that a compound has a specific DSC peak or melting point, it means that it is the DSC peak or melting point ±5 °C. The term "essentially" also takes into account that temperature change. DSC is provided as an auxiliary method for distinguishing different crystal forms. Different crystal forms can be identified based on different transition temperature characteristics. Note that in the case of a mixture, its DSC peak or melting point can vary within a wider range. Also, since decomposition occurs with the melting of the substance, the melting temperature is related to the heating rate. The DSC curve can be measured, for example, with an instrument of model NETZSCH DSC214 Polyma. Exemplary test conditions are: heating rate: 10 °C / min, temperature range: 25 - 250 °C.
