Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This disclosure relates to a) a salt or cocrystal of {2-[3-cyclohexyl-3-(trans-4-propoxy-cyclohexyl)-ureido]-thiazole-5-ylsulfanil}acetic acid ("Compound 1" or "API"), b) crystalline form of a salt or cocrystal of Compound 1, c) a pharmaceutical composition comprising one or more salts or cocrystals of Compound 1 and optionally a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and d) a method for treating certain types of diabetes mellitus and other diseases by administering one or more salts or cocrystals of Compound 1 to a patient in need of treatment. [Background technology]

[0002] Glucokinase (GK) is an important regulator of glucose homeostasis, functioning as a physiological glucose sensor that changes its structure, activity, and / or intracellular location in parallel with changes in glucose concentration. GK has two key characteristic properties that make it suitable for blood glucose control. First, its expression is almost exclusively limited to tissues that require glucose sensing (mainly β-cells of the liver and pancreas). Second, GK can sense changes in serum glucose levels, regulate changes in hepatic glucose metabolism to balance hepatic glucose production (HGP) and glucose consumption, and regulate changes in insulin secretion by β-cells. The idea of ​​GK activation for diabetes treatment is attractive because it works through a completely different mechanism than currently available antidiabetic therapies, and has been proven to effectively and safely normalize blood glucose in animal models of type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

[0003] Although several GK small molecule activators have been clinically developed, their initial therapeutic prospects are limited due to the occurrence of hypoglycemia, elevated triglyceride (TG) levels, and loss of effect over time. These adverse events (AEs) were associated with progressive β-cell activation.

[0004] Compound 1 is an orally administered small-molecule hepatic-selective glucokinase activator that improves glycemic control and does not induce hypoglycemia, dyslipidemia, or pathological increases in hepatic glycogen or TG at therapeutically appropriate doses. Compound 1 does not cause similar adverse effects (Vella et al., Science Translational Medicine 16 Jan 2019).

[0005] Not all compounds that are GK activators possess the properties that best give them the potential to become useful therapeutic agents. Some of these properties include high affinity for GK, duration of GK inactivation, oral bioavailability, tissue distribution, and stability (e.g., ability to formulate or crystallize, shelf life). Favorable properties can lead to improved safety, tolerability, efficacy, therapeutic index, patient compliance, cost-effectiveness, and ease of manufacture.

[0006] Furthermore, salts or cocrystals of a given compound may differ from one another with respect to one or more physical properties such as solubility and dissociation, true density, melting point, crystal shape, compressibility, flow properties, and / or solid stability. These differences affect practical parameters such as storage stability, compressibility and density (important in formulation and product manufacturing), and dissolution rate (an important factor in determining bioavailability). While U.S. Patent No. 7,598,391 discloses compound 1 as a free acid, there is a need for additional drug forms that are useful for activating GK activity in vitro and in vivo and possess properties suitable for large-scale production and formulation. Provided herein are novel salt or cocrystal forms of compound 1, and methods for treating diabetes mellitus by using these novel salt or cocrystal forms of compound 1.

[0068] As used herein, the term “polymorph” refers to a crystalline form of a compound or its salt, hydrate, or solvate in a particular crystalline packing arrangement. All polymorphs have the same elemental composition. As used herein, the term “crystalline” refers to a solid state form consisting of orderly arranged structural units. Different crystalline forms of the same compound, or its salt, hydrate, or solvate, arise from differences in molecular packing in the solid state, resulting in different crystalline symmetries and / or unit cell parameters. Different crystalline forms typically have different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, melting points, densities, hardness, crystal shape, optical and electrical properties, stability, and solubility. See, for example, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th edition, Mack Publishing, Easton PA, 173 (1990); The United States Pharmacopeia, 23rd edition, pp. 1843-1844 (1995) (incorporated herein by reference).

[0069] Crystal forms are most commonly characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). The XRPD pattern of reflections (typically peaks represented by an angle of 2θ) is generally considered a fingerprint of a particular crystal form. The relative intensity of XRPD peaks can vary considerably, particularly depending on sample preparation techniques, crystal size distribution, filters, sample placement procedures, and the specific instrument used. In some cases, new peaks may be observed or existing peaks may disappear depending on the type or settings of the instrument. In some cases, any particular peak in the XRPD pattern may appear as a singlet, doublet, triplet, quadrant, or multiplet, depending on the type and settings of the instrument, the sensitivity of the instrument, the measurement conditions, and / or the purity of the crystal form. In some cases, any particular peak in XRPD may appear as a symmetrical shape or asymmetrical shape, such as a shape with shoulders. Furthermore, instrument variability and other factors can affect the 2θ value. Those skilled in the art who understand these variability can use XRPD, as with other known physicochemical methods, to identify or confirm the explicit features or properties of a particular crystal form.

[0070] The term "anhydrous" applied to compounds refers to a solid state in which the compound does not contain structural water within its crystal lattice.

[0071] Unless otherwise required by context, the terms “comprise,” “comprises,” and “comprising” are used on the basis and with a clear understanding that they are to be interpreted comprehensively, not exclusively, and that the applicant intends to interpret each of these terms in that way in the interpretation of this Patent, including the following claims.

[0072] For all embodiments disclosed herein, the peak position reproducibility is in degrees 2θ (XRPD), ppm( 13 (1C solid-state NMR), and cm -1This is associated with the (IR) value. Therefore, it will be understood that all peaks disclosed herein have peak position reproducibility associated with the disclosed value ± each analytical method. The XRPD peak position reproducibility is ±0.2, expressed in degrees 2θ. 13 The peak position reproducibility of 13C NMR is ±0.2 ppm.

In case of any conflict, the application containing the definition shall prevail. Unless otherwise required by context, singular terms shall include plural forms, and plural terms shall include singular forms. All publications, patents, and other references described herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety for all purposes, as each individual publication or patent application is specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference.

Measurement Technology iX-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) Method a: Transparent Geometry XRPD patterns were collected using a PANalytical X'Pert PRO MPD diffractometer or a PANalytical Empyrean diffractometer with an incident beam of Cu radiation generated by an Optix long-length fine-focus light source. An ellipsoidal multilayer mirror was used to focus the Cu Kα X-rays onto the detector via the sample. Prior to analysis, a silicon sample (NIST SRM 640e) was analyzed to confirm that the observed Si(111) peak position matched the NIST-certified position. The sample was sandwiched between 3 μm thick films and analyzed by transmission geometry. Background caused by the atmosphere was minimized using a beam stop, a short scatter removal extension, and a scatter removal knife edge. Broadening from axial divergence was minimized using solar slits for the incident and diffracted beams. Diffraction patterns were collected using a scanning position detector (X'Celerator) and Data Collector software v.5.5, positioned 240 mm from the sample.
