DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] The present disclosure relates to solid forms of 9-ING-41, processes for preparing same, and pharmaceutical compositions having the solid state forms. The present disclosure also relates to the conversion of the described solid state forms of 9-ING-41 to other solid state forms of 9-ING-41, 9-ING-41 salts, and those solid state forms.

[0014] The name "9-ING-41" is an alternative name for 3-(5-fluorobenzofuran-3-yl)-4-(5-methyl-5H-[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-f]indol-7-yl]-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione, which is an alternative name for 3-(5-fluorobenzofuran-3-yl)-4-(5-methyl-5H-[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-f]indol-7-yl)pyrrole-2,5-dione. These names are used interchangeably herein.

[0015] The solid forms of 9-ING-41 according to the present disclosure may have advantageous properties selected from at least one of chemical or polymorphic purity, flowability, solubility, dissolution rate, bioavailability, morphology or crystal habit, chemical stability with respect to polymorphic transformation, thermal and mechanical stability, stability such as stability with respect to dehydration and / or storage stability, low hygroscopicity, low residual solvent content, advantageous processing and handling properties such as compressibility and bulk density.

[0016] As used herein, crystalline forms may be referred to as being characterized by graphical data as "shown" in a figure. Such data include, for example, X-ray powder diffractograms (XRPDs), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermograms, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) profiles, and dynamic vapor sorption profiles (DVS). As is well known in the art, graphical data may provide additional technical information that further defines each solid form, which cannot necessarily be described by reference to numerical values ​​or peak positions alone. Thus, the term "substantially shown" when referring to graphical data in the figures herein does not necessarily mean that the data is identical to that depicted herein, but that it falls within the range of experimental error or deviation, as considered by those skilled in the art. Those skilled in the art will be able to easily compare the graphical data in the figures herein with graphical data generated for an unknown crystalline form and determine whether the two sets of graphical data characterize the same crystalline form or two different crystalline forms.

[0017] As used herein, solid, crystalline forms may be referred to as "polymorphically pure" or "substantially free of other forms." As used herein in this context, the phrase "substantially free of other forms" is understood to mean that the solid form contains about 20% or less, about 10% or less, about 5% or less, about 2% or less, about 1% or less, or 0% of other forms of the subject compound, as measured, for example, by XRPD. Thus, a solid form of 9-ING-41 described herein as being substantially free of other solid forms is understood to contain about 80% (w / w) or more, about 90% (w / w) or more, about 95% (w / w) or more, about 98% (w / w) or more, about 99% (w / w) or more, or about 100% of the subject solid form of 9-ING-41. Thus, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the described solid forms of 9-ING-41 may contain about 1% to about 20% (w / w), about 5% to about 20% (w / w), or about 5% to about 10% (w / w) of one or more other solid forms of 9-ING-41.

[0018] As used herein, unless otherwise stated, XRPD peaks reported herein are measured using CuKα radiation, λ=1.5419 Å.

[0019] The modifier "about" should be considered to disclose a range defined by the absolute values ​​of the two endpoints. For example, the expression "about 2 to about 4" also discloses a range of "2 to 4." When used to modify a single number, the term "about" refers to plus or minus 10% of and includes the recited number. For example, "about 10%" indicates a range of 9% to 11%, and "about 1" means 0.9 to 1.1.

[0020] As used herein, the term "solvate" refers to a crystalline form that incorporates a solvent into the crystalline structure, unless otherwise specified. When the solvent is water, the solvate is often referred to as a "hydrate." The solvent in the solvate may be present in a stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amount.

[0121] Example 10: Water solubility test 10–30 mg of 9-ING-41 Form I was added to 2 mL of water or buffer solution buffered to pH = 1.2, 4.5, or 6.8. The samples were shaken at 200 rpm on a shaker for 24 hours. Sample vials were visually inspected to confirm saturation. 1 mL of each suspension was filtered through a 0.22 μm nylon syringe filter into a separate clean, clear glass vial at 24 hours. The filtrate was analyzed using HPLC (accurately diluted if necessary), and the remaining solid was analyzed using XRPD.

[0122] Form I was poorly soluble in water or pH 1.2, 4.5, or 6.8 buffers. 9-ING-41 was not detectable in the filtrate by HPLC. Analysis of the remaining solids showed no change in crystalline form over the course of the experiment: the remaining solids in experiments in which Form I was used remained as Form I.
