Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry, and in particular relates to a series of crystalline forms of ketoamide derivatives and methods for preparing the same, as well as drug substances and pharmaceutical compositions containing the crystalline forms. [Background technology]

[0002] SARS-CoV-2 (acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2), along with SARS-CoV-1 and MERS-CoV, is a highly pathogenic, widespread zoonotic virus belonging to the Coronaviridae family. These three viruses, unlike several other coronaviruses, such as HCoV-NL63, HCoV-229E, HCoV-OC43, and HCoVHKU1, can cause severe respiratory illness. The etiological agent of COVID-19 is SARS-CoV-2, a member of the Coronaviridae family, which causes respiratory, liver, intestinal, and neurological diseases in mammals. Humans infected with SARS-CoV-2 exhibit a variety of clinical symptoms, primarily including fever, respiratory symptoms, cough, and shortness of breath. Prolonged infection can lead to severe pneumonia and serious complications, including respiratory failure, shock, and organ failure. Some patients with mild symptoms or who have been discharged from the hospital have even experienced relapse after recovery. What's more, this virus is not only highly contagious, but can also be transmitted through asymptomatic, symptomatic, and pre-symptomatic infections.

[0003] During coronavirus infection in the host, the main protease (M PRO, also known as 3CLPRO), an enzyme essential for viral replication, is a type of cysteine ​​hydrolase that can cleave the polyprotein at multiple sites within the virus to generate multiple active functional proteins. The sequence of 3CLPRO is highly conserved among coronaviruses and is crucial for the normal function of coronaviruses. Inhibition of 3CLPRO not only effectively kills coronaviruses but also alleviates immune imbalances within infected host cells. This makes 3CLPRO one of the key targets in the development of broad-spectrum anti-coronavirus drugs, and 3CLPRO inhibitors are attractive targets in the field of antiviral chemotherapy.

[0004] The following compounds are 3CLPRO inhibitors that have been reported to date. S-217622 is an oral treatment for novel coronavirus pneumonia developed by Shionogi Pharmaceuticals that efficiently inhibits the novel coronavirus 3CLPRO and exerts antiviral effects. Preclinical studies have confirmed that S-217622 has a strong effect on 3CLPRO activity in vitro, with an IC50 value of 0.013 μM and an EC50 value of 0.37 μM. Paxlovid, an oral treatment for novel coronavirus pneumonia developed by Pfizer Inc., USA, consists of the 3CL protease inhibitors nirmatrelvir (PF-07321332) and ritonavir. This drug is the most effective oral treatment currently available, and clinical trials have demonstrated an 89% reduction in the risk of COVID-19-related mortality. TIFF2025533244000001.tif48170

[0005] A series of ketoamide derivatives has been reported in patent PCT / CN2022 / 117124, and in vitro activity data shows that some of the compounds exhibit good in vitro anti-coronavirus activity at the cellular level without cytotoxicity, with significantly higher exposure, slower clearance, longer half-life, and excellent pharmacokinetic properties. Among them, compound 1 (Example 1, formula (I)) has relatively good overall performance and is believed to have good potential for drug discovery. TIFF2025533244000002.tif45170

[0006] Crystal form screening is one of the most important aspects in drug development. For a particular compound, the physicochemical properties of its free form, various salt forms, and corresponding crystalline forms are still unknown. Therefore, it is of great significance to drug development to search for an appropriate crystalline form that further considers its drug potential and provides multiple options for intermediate products and / or drug substances for subsequent drug development. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] The present invention discloses a series of crystalline forms of the compound of formula (I), which exhibit good drug discoverability (stability, flowability, compressibility, solubility, bioavailability, etc.) and provide various drug substance options for subsequent pharmaceutical development. TIFF2025533244000003.tif51170 [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The above object of the present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions.

[0009] Regarding the characterization of crystalline forms of a compound, those skilled in the art will understand that for a specific crystalline form of a particular compound, the 2θ angle of each diffraction peak in a powder X-ray diffraction (XRPD) pattern will vary in repeated experiments due to factors such as the instrument, operating method, sample purity, and human factors used in the characterization process, and the range of this variation (error range) is typically within ±0.2°. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will understand that the stability and reproducibility of diffraction peaks can also be affected by a combination of the 2θ angle, absorption intensity (peak height), and other factors of each diffraction peak in a powder X-ray diffraction pattern. Specifically, diffraction peaks with strong absorption intensity, good separation, and small 2θ angles have good stability and reproducibility and can be used to characterize a particular crystalline form. However, diffraction peaks with large 2θ angles and / or poor separation and / or weak relative intensities may vary significantly due to factors such as the instrument, operating method, sample purity, and human factors, and may not be reproducible even after repeated experiments. Therefore, those skilled in the art will not consider such absorption peaks to be diffraction peaks necessary for characterizing a crystalline form. More specifically, the diffraction peaks in the present invention are selected based on common knowledge in the art regarding the characterization of crystalline forms, taking into consideration factors such as 2θ angle and absorption intensity (peak height), and are grouped according to stability and reproducibility.

[0010] As will be understood by those skilled in the art, the test results of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) curves of a sample may vary between samples from the same batch and / or different batches due to the influence of the equipment, detection conditions, inspector, etc. Therefore, in the present invention, based on common knowledge in the field regarding the characterization of crystalline forms, the variation range of the onset of the endothermic peak or exothermic peak in the DSC thermogram is set to ±3°C, and the variation range of the weight loss value in the TGA thermogram is set to ±1%.

[0011] Unless otherwise specified, "room temperature" in the present invention means 25±5°C, and a thermogravimetric analysis curve (TGA) "showing no significant weight loss" in the present invention means that the weight loss before the detection end point temperature is 1% or less.

[0012] As can be understood by those skilled in the art, once the preparation of the compound is completed, the technician cannot further investigate the specific form of the crystalline form of compound (I).Therefore, the compound of formula (I) can exist in the form of an anhydrous, hydrated or solvated form, and the "solvent" in the solvate is an organic solvent commonly used in the art, including, but not limited to, methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, acetone, butanone, acetonitrile, dichloromethane, trichloromethane, ethyl acetate, toluene, etc.

After the evaporated crystallized form II was dried under vacuum at room temperature, the sample remained as crystallized form II, which is considered to have high stability. Crystalline Form III was obtained by crystallizing in a methanol / isopropyl ether system with prolonged stirring at 10°C. Those skilled in the art will recognize that crystallographic form III has high stability.

[0166] Crystalline form VIII is an unstable crystal form, and undergoes a crystal transformation during the post-treatment process (vacuum drying at room temperature) to transform into crystal form V. Crystalline form V is finally obtained by transitioning from an intermediate metastable crystal form (crystal form VIII), and it has been found to be highly stable.

[0170] From the above experimental results, it was revealed that crystalline forms V and VI have high stability under heating conditions, and crystalline form II transforms into crystalline form I under heating conditions, and thus crystalline form I has high stability under high temperature conditions.

[0171] Furthermore, the role of crystalline Form II has been demonstrated, which can be used as an intermediate crystalline form to prepare some of the other stable crystalline forms of the present invention. Thus, the crystalline forms of the compound of formula (I) of the present invention have at least one effect such as stability, and can therefore provide various intermediate and / or raw material options for large-scale production of drug substances and downstream processes of pharmaceuticals (e.g., formulation processes).
