Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This application claims priority from Chinese Patent Application No. 2022111813611, filed on September 27, 2022. This application cites the above Chinese patent application in its entirety.

[0002] The present invention belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical synthesis, and in particular relates to salts and crystalline forms of spiro ring-containing derivatives, as well as methods for their preparation and use. [Background technology]

[0003] Diseases related to the central nervous system affect many people to varying degrees. Generally, the primary features of such disorders include significant cognitive or memory impairments, resulting in a significant decline compared to the patient's previous level of functioning. Schizophrenia is a psychopathological disorder of unknown etiology that typically first manifests in early adulthood and is characterized by psychotic symptoms, gradual progression and development, and / or regression of social behavior and professional skills. Schizophrenia symptoms are generally categorized into three categories: positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms. Positive symptoms are those that represent an "excess" of normal experiences, such as hallucinations and delusions. Negative symptoms are those in which patients lose normal experiences, such as anhedonia and lack of social interaction. Cognitive symptoms are associated with the cognitive impairments of schizophrenia, such as a lack of sustained attention and impaired decision-making. While current antipsychotic medications are successful in treating positive symptoms, they are still less than ideal for treating negative and cognitive symptoms.

[0004] Biogenic amines play important roles as neurotransmitters in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Their synthesis and storage, as well as their release, degradation, and reabsorption, are tightly regulated. Imbalances in biogenic amine levels are known to be the primary cause of altered brain function in many pathological conditions. Serotonin, norepinephrine, epinephrine, dopamine, and histamine are classic biogenic amines that have been extensively studied. Among them, the 5-hydroxytryptamine system plays a key role in regulating functions in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), including emotional control, cognitive behavior, and working memory. Pyramidal neurons and GABAergic interneurons in the PFC contain several highly dense 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor subtypes, 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A. PFC and NMDA receptor channels have recently been shown to be targets of the 5-HT1AR, and these two receptors regulate excitatory neurons in the cerebral cortex, thereby affecting cognitive function. Indeed, various preclinical data suggest that the 5-HT1AR may be a novel target for antipsychotic drug development. The high affinity of atypical antipsychotics (e.g., olanzapine and aripiprazole) for the 5-HT1AR and low EPS side effects suggest that the 5-hydroxytryptamine system plays a key role in regulating PFC functions, including emotional control, cognitive behavior, and working memory. Pyramidal neurons and GABAergic interneurons in the PFC contain several highly dense 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor subtypes, 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A. Recent studies have shown that 5-HT1A agonists, related to atypical antipsychotic treatments, can improve negative symptoms and cognitive impairment.

[0005] In recent years, as research on classical biogenic amines has gradually deepened, researchers have discovered a second class of endogenous amine compounds, the trace amines TAAR, including p-tyramine, β-phenylethylamine, tryptamine, and octopamine. Although their levels in the mammalian nervous system are generally lower than those of classical biogenic amines, they all share similar characteristics to classical biogenic amines in terms of structure, metabolism, and subcellular localization. As a new member of the GPCR family of G protein-coupled receptors, the trace amine-associated receptor (TAAR) shares a similar structure to the deep GPCR pharmacophore and consistent pharmacological data. Phylogenetic relationships of this receptor gene have shown that these receptors form three distinct subfamilies, of which TAAR1 is the first of four genes (TAAR1-4) highly conserved between humans and rodents. TAARs activate TAAR1 via Gαs and play a key role. Existing studies clearly show that dysregulation of trace amine-associated receptors, especially TAAR1, is closely associated with many psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and depression, as well as conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, migraine, Parkinson's disease, substance abuse, and eating disorders, making it highly likely that TAAR ligands could be used to treat these diseases.

[0006] Although there are many anti-schizophrenia medications available, those currently in clinical use still suffer from a variety of side effects. Current anti-schizophrenia medications for negative symptoms have been clinically applied and have improved negative symptoms in some patients, but overall effectiveness is limited. Many patients still experience difficulties recovering or restoring normal social function due to negative symptoms, making it difficult for them to resume normal social activities. Furthermore, treating cognitive dysfunction is also a key focus of schizophrenia treatment. While verbal memory, verbal information processing ability, and attention function are affected in most schizophrenic patients, anti-schizophrenia medications currently under investigation or commercially available have only limited improvement in cognitive function. In addition, the treatment of refractory schizophrenia is still facing a dilemma. Such patients have been treated with three kinds of antipsychotic drugs with different active ingredients. However, even if they receive a sufficient course of treatment at a sufficient dose, they often do not respond well to treatment, or they cannot tolerate the side effects of antipsychotic drugs, or the disease still recurs or worsens despite appropriate maintenance or preventive treatment. Therefore, anti-refractory schizophrenia treatment drugs have always been a difficult problem in current clinical drug research and are a direction that must be overcome as soon as possible.

[0007] Sunovion's SEP-363856, a 5-hydroxytryptamine and / or trace amine-associated receptor agonist currently in Phase III clinical trials, has demonstrated significant activity at 5-HT1A and TAAR1 receptors and demonstrated favorable activity in existing clinical studies. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop effective and sustained treatments for negative symptoms, improve cognitive function, and effectively treat refractory schizophrenia. Furthermore, there is a need for antipsychotic drugs with minimal side effects and that act on multiple targets to meet the huge market demand.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0036] Different expressions such as "X is selected from A, B or C", "X is selected from A, B and C", "X is A, B or C", "X is A, B and C" convey the same meaning, i.e., X may be any one or more of A, B and C.

[0037] The term "optional" or "optionally" means that the subsequently described event or circumstance may or may not occur, and the phrase includes both the occurrence and non-occurrence of the event or circumstance. For example, "cycloalkyl optionally substituted with alkyl" means that the alkyl group may be present, but does not have to be present; the description includes cases where the cycloalkyl group is substituted with an alkyl group and cases where the cycloalkyl group is not substituted with an alkyl group.

[0038] The term "pharmaceutical composition" refers to a mixture of one or more compounds of the present invention or physiologically / pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs thereof with other chemical components, such as physiologically / pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, or excipients. The purpose of a pharmaceutical composition is to facilitate administration to a living organism and promote absorption of the active ingredients, thereby exerting their biological activity.

[0039] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a salt of a compound of the present invention that is safe and effective when used in the mammalian body and that possesses the expected biological activity.

[0040] As used herein, "polymorphism" or "polymorphic form" refers to a crystalline form that has the same chemical composition but differs in the spatial arrangement of the molecules, atoms, and / or ions that make up the crystal. Polymorphs have the same chemical composition but differ in packing and geometric arrangement, and may exhibit different physical properties such as melting point, shape, color, density, hardness, deformability, stability, solubility, dissolution rate, and similar properties. The relative stability of the two solid phases is altered based on the relationship between temperature and stability. This phenomenon of a compound existing in different lattice structures is called drug polymorphism.

[0041] Crystal structures equivalent to those disclosed or claimed herein may exhibit similar, but not identical, analytical properties within reasonable error based on testing conditions, purity, equipment, and other common variables known to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made within the scope of the present invention without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Other embodiments of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from consideration of the specification and practice of the invention disclosed herein. Applicants intend the specification and examples to be considered illustrative, not limiting, in scope.

[0042] "X-ray powder diffraction pattern or XRPD" refers to the Bragg equation, 2d sinθ=nλ (where λ is the wavelength of the X-ray, λ=1.54056A, and the diffraction order n is any positive integer, typically the first diffraction order peak, n=1). The "2θ or 2θ angle" refers to the diffraction angle, where θ is the Bragg angle, measured in ° or degrees. When X-rays are incident on an atomic plane of a crystal or part of a crystalline sample with an interplanar spacing of d at a glancing angle θ (complement to the angle of incidence, also called the Bragg angle), the Bragg equation is satisfied and a set of X-ray powder diffraction patterns can be measured.

[0043] It is well known to those skilled in the art that XRPD may produce certain deviations and intensity variations due to the spread thickness of the sample, the detection method, conditions, and the instrument. The same sample of the same crystalline form usually has the same main XRPD characteristic peak, but operational errors may occur. When a person skilled in the art detects the same crystalline form sample obtained using the corresponding method with the same instrument and detection method, the error of the characteristic peak is usually within ±0.2°. However, depending on the technician and the instrument used, there may be some characteristic peaks with errors outside this range. If the error is within ±0.5° or ±0.3°, it is considered that they belong to the XRPD characteristic peaks of the same crystalline form. Therefore, as a specific example of the crystalline form of the present invention, its XRPD is as shown in the pattern, but if the deviation of the important characteristic peak displacement 2θ is within ±0.5°, ±0.3°, or ±0.2°, especially if it is around ±0.2°, all can be identified as the same crystalline form and all can be considered to be within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0044] Additionally, the absolute and relative intensities of the peaks shown in the aforementioned tables and figures may vary due to various factors, such as the effect of the selected orientation of the crystalline solid relative to the X-ray beam, the effect of coarse particles, the purity of the analyte, or the crystallinity of the sample. Peak positions may also shift with changes in sample height. Furthermore, when different wavelengths are used for measurement, different shift values ​​are obtained based on the Bragg equation (nλ=2d sinθ). These different XRPD patterns obtained using different wavelengths are also within the scope of the present invention.

[0045] "Crystal plane spacing or crystal plane spacing (d value)" refers to the selection of three non-parallel unit vectors a, b, and c connecting two adjacent lattice points in a space lattice, which divide the lattice into juxtaposed parallelepiped units, which are the crystal plane spacings. The space lattice is divided according to the connecting lines of the defined parallelepiped units, resulting in a series of rectilinear grids called space lattices or crystal lattices. Lattice and crystal lattices use geometric points and lines, respectively, to reflect the periodicity of the crystal structure, and different crystal planes have different spacings (i.e., the distance between two adjacent parallel crystal planes), measured in Å or angstroms.

[0046] "Relative intensity (I%)" is the ratio of the intensity of the other peaks to the intensity of the most intense peak among all diffraction peaks in an X-ray powder diffraction pattern (XRPD), where the intensity of the most intense peak is taken as 100%.

[0047] Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measures the transition temperatures at which a crystal absorbs or releases heat due to changes in crystal structure or melting. For the same crystalline form of the same compound, the thermal transition temperatures and melting points vary within approximately 5°C, usually within approximately 3°C, in consecutive analyses. When describing a compound with a specific DSC peak or melting point, the deviation is typically ±5°C from the DSC peak or melting point, essentially accounting for this temperature variation. DSC provides a complementary method for distinguishing between various crystalline forms. Different crystalline forms can be identified based on their distinct transition temperature characteristics. For mixtures, the DSC peak or melting point may vary over a wider range. Furthermore, because decomposition occurs during the melting process, the melting temperature is related to the heating rate.

[0048] Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is a common method for measuring the thermal stability of a compound. In the present invention, TGA can also be used to measure the hydration state of a compound, and the heating rate during the test process will have a certain effect on the pattern. The error of TGA can be within about ±0.5% by mass.

[0049] "Amorphous," "non-crystalline," or "non-crystalline form" refers to a substance formed when material particles (molecules, atoms, ions) are arranged in three-dimensional space without periodicity, resulting in a diffuse, peakless X-ray powder diffraction pattern. Amorphous / non-crystalline is a special physical form of solid matter whose locally ordered structural characteristics suggest it is closely related to crystalline matter.

[0050] "Equivalent" or its abbreviation "eq" refers to the equivalent amount of a base material (1 equivalent) required in a chemical reaction.

[0051] "Substantially as shown in the figure" means that at least 50%, or at least 60%, or at least 70%, or at least 80%, or at least 90%, or at least 95%, or at least 99% of the peaks in the powder X-ray diffraction pattern, DSC pattern, Raman spectrum, or infrared spectrum are shown in the figure.

[0052] In the context of the present invention, the words "approximately" or "about," when used or regardless of their use, mean within 10%, suitably within 5%, and especially within 1% of a given value or range. Alternatively, as will be apparent to one skilled in the art, the term "approximately" or "about" means within an acceptable standard error of the mean. When a numerical value having a value of N is disclosed, any numerical values ​​having a value of N+ / -1%, N+ / -2%, N+ / -3%, N+ / -5%, N+ / -7%, N+ / -8% are all expressly disclosed, where "+ / -" means plus or minus.

[0053] "Room temperature" refers to a temperature between 10° C. and 40° C. In some embodiments, "room temperature" refers to a temperature between 15° C. and 30° C., and in other embodiments, "room temperature" refers to a temperature between 18° C. and 25° C.
