Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] Embodiments of this disclosure generally relate to compounds used, for example, as therapeutic or prophylactic agents for treating inflammation, as well as methods for producing and using the same. [Background technology]
[0002] Inflammasomes are multiprotein complexes whose activation plays a central role in innate immunity and inflammation. To date, four inflammasomes have been reported: NLRP1, NLRC4, NLRP3, and AIM2. The NLRP3 inflammasome consists of NLRP3, ASC, and caspase-1. Its activation promotes the secretion of IL-1β and IL-18, which are inflammation-mediating cytokines, in animal disease models of some autoimmune diseases, myocardial infarction, metabolic syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, and macrophage activation syndrome.
[0003] NEK7 is a member of the NIMA-associated kinase (NEK) family and acts as an NLRP3-binding protein to regulate NLRP3 oligomerization and activation. NEK7 is a serine / threonine kinase essential for mitotic initiation, cell cycle progression, cell division, and mitotic progression, and is expressed in various tissues including the brain, heart, lungs, liver, and spleen. Overexpression of NEK7 induces the production of abnormal cells closely associated with tumors (e.g., retinoblastoma, gallbladder cancer, and head and neck cancer).
[0004] Numerous inhibitors have been widely used to inhibit effector signaling pathways involving IL-1β or IL-18, without eliminating the inflammatory response itself. Inhibitors that block NLRP3 inflammasome activation by inhibiting the NLRP3-NEK7 interaction may have therapeutic or prophylactic effects in several human diseases, including type 2 diabetes (T2D), atherosclerosis, gout, and neurodegenerative diseases. However, the precise mechanism of the NLRP3-NEK7 interaction is still not fully understood.
[0005] Therefore, in several pathological diseases such as gout, atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, macular degeneration, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, and inflammatory bowel disease, there is a need to develop solid-state inhibitors that directly target NEK7 and influence the inflammatory response by modulating the NLRP3 inflammasome. Embodiments of this disclosure satisfy this need and also provide further relevant advantages. [Overview of the Initiative]

A pharmaceutical composition comprises one (or more) of the solid forms described above and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition is formulated for oral administration. In other embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition is formulated for injection. In yet another embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition comprises the compounds of the Disclosure and another therapeutic agent (e.g., an anticancer agent). Examples of such other therapeutic agents are described below, but are not limited to these.
[0041] Appropriate routes of administration include, but are not limited to, oral, intravenous, rectal, aerosol, parenteral, ocular, pulmonary, transmucosal, transdermal, transvaginal, ocular, transnasal, and topical administration. Furthermore, parenteral administration, as just a few examples, includes intramuscular, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramedullary injection, as well as subarachnoid, direct intraventricular, intraperitoneal, lymphatic, and intranasal injection.
[0042] In one embodiment, the compounds described herein are administered topically rather than systemically (for example, by direct injection of the compound into an organ, often in the form of a depot or sustained-release formulation). In certain embodiments, long-acting formulations are administered by implantation (e.g., subcutaneous or intramuscular) or intramuscular injection. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the compounds are delivered by a targeted drug delivery system (e.g., liposomes coated with organ-specific antibodies). In such embodiments, the liposomes are selectively delivered to the organ. In yet another embodiment, the compounds described herein are provided in the form of an immediate-release formulation, a sustained-release formulation, or an intermediate-release formulation. In yet another embodiment, the compounds described herein are administered topically.
[0043] In the therapeutic methods disclosed herein, at least one solid form of structure (I) is administered in an effective dose to a subject suffering from or diagnosed with a disease, disorder, or illness. The effective dose or amount may be determined by methods such as modeling, dose escalation studies, or clinical trials. These methods may take into account, for example, the method or route of administration or drug delivery, the pharmacokinetics of the drug, the severity and course of the disease, disorder, or symptoms, the subject's past or present treatment, the subject's health status and response to the drug, and the judgment of the attending physician.
[0044] The solids described herein are effective over a wide dose range. In some embodiments, doses are 10–5000 mg, 100–5000 mg, and 1000–4000 mg per day, with 1000–3000 mg per day being an example of a dose used in the treatment of adult humans. The exact dose will vary depending on the route of administration, the form of the administered compound, the patient being treated, the patient's body weight, and the physician's preference and experience.
[0045] In some embodiments, the solids of the Disclosure are administered as a single dose. Generally, single doses are administered by injection (e.g., intravenous injection) to rapidly introduce the drug into the body, although other routes may be used as needed. Single doses of the compounds of the Disclosure may also be used to treat acute symptoms.
[0046] In some embodiments, the solid of the Disclosure is administered multiple times. In some embodiments, it is administered approximately once, twice, three times, four times, five times, six times, or seven times or more per day. In other embodiments, it is administered approximately once a month, approximately once every two weeks, approximately once a week, or approximately once every other day. In yet another embodiment, the solid of the Disclosure and another drug (e.g., an anticancer drug) are administered together approximately once to approximately six times per day. In yet another embodiment, the administration of the solid and drug of the Disclosure continues for less than approximately seven days. In yet another embodiment, the above administration continues for a period of approximately six days, ten days, fourteen days, twenty-eight days, two months, six months, or more than one year. In some cases, continuous administration is maintained for as long as necessary.
[0047] The administration of the solids of this disclosure may be maintained for as long as necessary. In some embodiments, the solids of this disclosure are administered for periods exceeding 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 14, or 28 days.

[0117] Example 1: Summary of the study on solid form Structure (I) is currently under development, and no polymorphic studies have been conducted to date. The main objective of this project is to conduct polymorphic screening of the compound in order to identify crystalline forms with good crystallinity and excellent solid-state properties that are suitable for further development.
[0118] Structure (I), when synthesized according to Synthesis Example 1, exists as a type A solid form. The type A solid form was used as the starting material for 75 designed polymorph screening experiments. Based on the results of X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) in the polymorph screening and subsequent experiments, a total of 17 crystalline forms of structure (I) have been identified to date. These include the type B / J / O / Q solid forms as anhydrous, the type A / H / K / L solid forms as hydrate solids, the type C / D / E / F / G / I solid forms as solvates, the type P solid form as anhydrous or hydrate, and the unidentified type M / N solid form. Figure 1 shows the interconversion relationships in the solid state for the polymorphs of structure (I). A summary of the properties of each obtained form is shown in the table below.
[0119] For the solid forms of types B and Q, slurry competition experiments were conducted in ethyl acetate / n-heptane solvents at 5°C, room temperature, and 50°C to further investigate the thermodynamic relationship between these two anhydrides. As a result, only type B was obtained under all conditions, indicating that type B is thermodynamically more stable than type Q under the conditions investigated.
[0120] Polymorphic screening experiments and subsequent processing of structure (I) revealed a total of 17 crystalline forms. Based on the results of polymorphic screening and slurry competition experiments, the solid form of type B showed unexpectedly good properties and was shown to be a useful candidate for further development. On the other hand, since the solid form of type Q can be generated in the current manufacturing process (addition of a poor solvent in an ethyl acetate / n-heptane system), special attention should be paid to polymorphic control in process development. Furthermore, physicochemical stability evaluation is strongly recommended for type B.
[0121] The properties of each solid in structure (I) are shown in the table below. [Table 8]
[0122] Example 2: Identification of Starting Materials Starting material of structure (I) is obtained, and XRPD, TGA, DSC and 1 Characterization was performed by 1H NMR. As shown in Figure 2A, the starting material was crystalline and was named Type A. From the TGA / DSC results (Figure 2B), a 9.0% mass loss was observed up to 150°C, and three endothermic peaks were observed at 87.8°C, 116.6°C, and 128.1°C. 1 ¹H NMR measurements were performed using DMSO-d6, and no obvious organic solvent residue was detected. The approximate solubility of the starting materials was evaluated at room temperature using 20 different solvents. In each test, approximately 2 mg of the solid was weighed into a 3 mL glass vial, and the corresponding solvent was added in stages in the order of 50 / 50 / 100 / 200 / 600 / 1000 μL, observing whether the solid completely dissolved. Solvent addition was stopped when the solid dissolved or when the total volume reached 2.0 mL. The approximate solubility was calculated based on the mass of the solid and the volume of the solvent. The solubility results are summarized in the table below. These results were used as a guideline for solvent selection in polymorphic screening design. [Table 9]
[0123] Example 3: Polymorphic screening and characterization Using type A solid form as the starting material, 75 polymorph screening experiments were conducted. Based on characterization data from XRPD and TGA / DSC, and the resulting experimental results, 17 crystalline forms of structure (I) were obtained, including anhydrous type B / J / O / Q solid forms, hydrated type A / H / K / L solid forms, solvated type C / D / E / F / G / I solid forms, anhydrous or hydrated type P solid form, and unidentified type M / N solid forms. The superposition of XRPD diffraction patterns is shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5. Five types of polymorph screening experiments were performed. Based on characterization data from XRPD and TGA / DSC, and the resulting experimental results, 17 types of crystals of structure (I) were obtained, including the anhydrous solid forms of types B / J / O / Q, the hydrated solid forms of types A / H / K / L, the solvated solid forms of types C / D / E / F / G / I, the anhydrous or hydrated solid form of type P, and the solid forms of type M / N. The superposition of XRPD diffraction patterns is shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5.
[0124] Example 4: Solid form of Type A For the solid form of type A, VT-XRPD was performed for morphological identification. According to the VT-XRPD results in Figure 6, the morphological change from the solid form of type A to another solid form newly named type O was first observed during N2 substitution and completed by heating to 100°C. 1 Based on the 1H NMR spectrum and VT-XRPD results, the solid form of type A was identified as a hydrate.
[0125] Example 5: Solid form of Type B The solid form of type B was obtained by adding 2.0 mL of n - heptane as a poor solvent to 0.5 mL of an EtOAc solution.

From the TGA / DSC curves (Figure 8), a 2.5% mass loss was observed up to 150 °C, and one endothermic peak was observed at 205.7 °C. 1 1H NMR measurements were performed using DMSO - d6 as the solvent, and it was shown that the molar ratios of residual EtOAc and residual n - heptane to the API were 0.04 (0.7 wt%) and 0.05 (1.0 wt%), respectively. For the solid form of type B, a heating experiment was conducted for morphological identification. According to the XRPD results in Figure 9, no morphological changes were observed before and after heating the solid form of type B up to 150 °C and cooling to room temperature. Based on the limited mass loss in TGA, distinct DSC curves, 1 slight solvent residues in 1H NMR, and the results of the heating experiment, the solid form of type B was identified as an anhydrate. DVS was performed on a sample of the solid form of type B. The results of sample preparation and characterization are described herein. As shown in Figure 10, the water uptake at 25 °C / 80% RH was less than 0.2 wt%, indicating that the solid form of type B has little hygroscopicity. Based on the XRPD overlay shown in Figure 11, no morphological changes were observed before and after the DVS measurement.
[0126] Example 6: Solid Form of Type C The solid form of type C was obtained by adding 2.0 mL of n - heptane as a poor solvent to 0.5 mL of a THF solution.

From the TGA / DSC curves (Figure 13), a 4.2% mass loss was observed up to 115 °C, and a further 5.1% mass loss was observed from 115 °C to 150 °C. Three endothermic peaks were observed at 113.8 °C, 142.8 °C, and 189.6 °C. 11H NMR measurements were performed using DMSO-d6 as the solvent, and it was shown that the molar ratio of residual THF to API was approximately 0.36 (4.9 wt%). For the solid form of type C, heating experiments were performed to identify its morphology. Figure 14 and 1 According to the 1H NMR results, no morphological change was observed in the type C solid form before and after heating to 115°C and cooling to room temperature, and the molar ratio of residual THF to API was 0.24 (3.3 wt%). According to the VT-XRPD results in Figure 15, a decrease in crystallinity was observed when heated to 120°C, and amorphous state was observed when heated to 175°C. Based on the results of the above experiments, the type C solid form was identified as a (THF) solvate. The same XRPD pattern was observed in other solvents (e.g., isoamyl alcohol, 1-pentanol, and 2-MeTHF), suggesting the possibility of isomorphisms in this form.
[0127] Example 7: Solid form of Type D The solid form of type D was obtained by slurrying the starting material in IPA at 50°C for approximately 5 days. As shown in Figure 16, no morphological changes were observed before and after overnight drying under ambient conditions. From the TGA / DSC curve (Figure 17), a mass loss of 13.7% was observed up to 175°C, and a single endothermic peak was observed at 144.5°C. 1 1H NMR measurements were performed using DMSO-d6 as the solvent, and it was shown that the molar ratio of residual IPA to API was approximately 0.93 (10.0 wt%). For the solid form of type D, heating experiments were conducted to identify its morphology. According to the results of the heating experiment shown in Figure 18, when the solid form of type D was heated to 175°C and then cooled to room temperature, amorphization was observed. 1 Based on the results of 1H NMR, mass loss in TGA, and residual solvent determined by heating experiments, the solid form of type D was identified as the solvate of IPA.

For the solid form of type E, heating experiments were conducted to identify its morphology. According to the results of the heating experiment shown in Figure 21, the type E solid changes to an amorphous state when heated to 165°C and then cooled to room temperature. 1 Based on 1H NMR, mass loss in TGA, and residual solvent determined from heating experiments, the solid form of type E was identified as a solvate of m-xylene.
[0129] Example 9: Solid form of Type F The solid form of type F was obtained by slurrying the starting material in DMSO / ACN (1:19, v:v) at 50°C for approximately 5 days.

For the solid form of type F, heating experiments were conducted to identify its morphology. According to the results of the heating experiments shown in Figure 24, when the solid form of type F was heated to 120°C and then cooled to room temperature, no morphological change was observed. However, when heated to 160°C and then cooled to room temperature, the solid form of type F changed to an amorphous state. 1 The 1H NMR spectrum showed that the molar ratio of residual DMSO to API after heating to 120°C was approximately 0.8 (11.1 wt%). 1Based on 1H NMR, mass loss in TGA, and residual solvent determined from heating experiments, the solid form of type F was identified as a solvate of DMSO.
[0130] Example 9: Solid form of Type G The solid form of type G was obtained by slurrying the starting material in 2-BuOH at room temperature for approximately 6 days. As shown in Figure 25, no morphological changes were observed before and after overnight drying under ambient conditions. From the TGA / DSC curve (Figure 26), a mass loss of 5.3% was observed up to 100°C, and a further mass loss of 13.0% was observed between 100°C and 175°C.

[0131] Example 10: Solid form of Type H The solid form of type H was obtained by slowly evaporating THF from a THF solution of the starting material. The XRPD diffraction pattern of the solid form of type H is shown in Figure 28. From the TGA / DSC curve (Figure 29), a mass loss of 7.6% was observed up to 150°C, and a single endothermic peak was observed at 130.8°C. 1 ¹H NMR measurements were performed using DMSO-d6 as the solvent, and it was shown that the molar ratio of residual THF to API was approximately 0.18 (2.5 wt%). For the solid form of type H, heating experiments were performed to identify its morphology. According to the results of the heating experiments shown in Figure 30, the solid form of type H changes to an amorphous state when heated to 150°C and then cooled to room temperature. Based on the mass loss in TGA, the residual solvent in NMR, and the results of the heating experiments, the solid form of type H was identified as a hydrate.
[0132] Example 11: Solid form of Type I The Type I solid form was obtained by slurrying the starting material in DCM at room temperature for approximately 6 days. As shown in Figure 31, no morphological changes were observed before and after overnight drying under ambient conditions. From the TGA / DSC curve (Figure 32), a mass loss of 4.3% was observed up to 150°C, and two endothermic peaks were observed at 66.3°C and 161.0°C. 1 1H NMR measurements were performed using DMSO-d6 as the solvent, and it was shown that the molar ratio of residual DCM to API was approximately 0.18 (3.7 wt%). For the solid form of Type I, heating experiments were conducted to identify its morphology. According to the results of the heating experiment shown in Figure 33, the solid form of Type I underwent a morphological change after being heated to 100°C and then cooled to room temperature, and no DCM remained in the heated sample. The obtained solid form was named Type P. 1 Based on the 1H NMR spectrum and heating experiment results, the type I solid form was identified as the solvate of DCM. Considering that the type I solid form was also obtained by slurry treatment with ACN, it is suggested that isomorphs may exist in this form.
[0133] Example 12: Solid form of Type J The solid form of type J was obtained by slowly evaporating CHCl3 from a CHCl3 solution of the starting material. The XRPD diffraction pattern of the solid form of type J is shown in Figure 34.

Limited mass loss in TGA, clear DSC curve, and 1 Based on slight solvent residue in the 1H NMR spectrum, the solid form of type J was identified as an anhydrous. Furthermore, the solid form of type J can transform into the solid form of type L when stored overnight under ambient conditions of approximately 45% RH.
[0134] Example 13: Solid form of Type K The solid form of type K was obtained by slurrying the starting material in acetone / H2O (v:v=6:4) at room temperature for approximately 6 days.

From the TGA / DSC curve (Figure 37), a mass loss of 6.5% was observed up to 150°C. In the DSC curve, two endothermic peaks were observed at 104.7°C and 142.8°C. 1 1H NMR measurements were performed using DMSO-d6 as the solvent, and no acetone residue was observed. For the solid form of type K, heating experiments were conducted to identify its morphology. As shown in Figure 38, when the solid form of type K was heated to 120°C and cooled to room temperature, its crystallinity decreased significantly, thus identifying the solid form of type K as a hydrate.
[0135] Example 14: Solid form of Type L The solid form of type L was obtained by storing the starting material overnight under ambient conditions of approximately 45% RH. This starting material is presumed to be a mixture of solid forms J and L, and was obtained by slurry treatment of the starting material in acetone / H2O (v:v=986:14) at room temperature for approximately 6 days. The morphological changes are shown in Figure 39. From the TGA / DSC curve (Figure 40), a mass loss of 8.8% is observed up to 175°C. In the DSC curve, two endothermic peaks were observed at 87.6°C and 157.6°C. 1¹H NMR measurements were performed using DMSO-d6 as the solvent, and it was shown that the molar ratio of residual acetone to API was approximately 0.50 (5.5 wt%). For the solid form of type L, a heating experiment was conducted to identify its morphology. As shown in Figure 41, the morphological change to type J was observed by heating the solid form of type L to 100°C and then cooling it to room temperature. Based on the fact that the solid form of type J, which is anhydrous, changed to the solid form of type L, and based on the results of the heating experiment, the solid form of type L was identified as a hydrate.
[0136] Example 15: Solid form of Type M The solid form of type M was obtained by slowly cooling an EtOH solution of the starting material. As shown in Figure 42, no morphological changes were observed before and after overnight drying under ambient conditions. From the TGA / DSC curve (Figure 43), a mass loss of 8.3% was observed up to 150°C. In the DSC curve, three endothermic peaks were observed at 83.2°C, 105.2°C, and 129.3°C. 1 1H NMR measurements were performed using DMSO-d6 as the solvent, and it was shown that the molar ratio of residual EtOH to API was approximately 0.21 (1.9 wt%).
[0137] Example 16: Solid form of Type N The solid form of type N was obtained as follows: A clear solution was obtained by slowly cooling the starting material IPAc / cyclohexane (v:v=1:1) solution, and then the solution was evaporated at room temperature to obtain the solid. The XRPD diffraction pattern is shown in Figure 44. Due to insufficient sample quantity, further characterization was not performed.
[0138] Example 17: Solid form of Type O The solid form of type O was obtained by heating the starting material to 150°C, then cooling it to room temperature and leaving it for 30 minutes under ambient conditions. The XRPD diffraction pattern is shown in Figure 45. Further characterization has not been performed. Since this form was generated under high-temperature conditions, the solid form of type O was identified as an anhydrous form.
[0139] Example 18: Solid form of Type P The solid form of type P was obtained by heating the solid form of type I to 100°C and then cooling it to room temperature. The XRPD diffraction pattern is shown in Figure 46. Further characterization has not been performed. Based on the experimental conditions, the solid form of type P was identified as either an anhydrous or hydrated form.
[0140] Example 19: Solid form of Type Q The solid form of type Q was obtained as follows. 601.9 mg of the solid form of type A was dissolved in ¼ mL of toluene while sonicating. This solution was filtered through a 0.45 μm PTFE membrane, and 3 mL of the solution was taken and a poor solvent was added. n-heptane was added dropwise to the solution while stirring, and when 2 mL of n-heptane had been added, a small amount of the solid form of type B was added as a seed crystal. A total of 8 mL of n-heptane was added. After slurry treatment overnight at room temperature, the solid was recovered by vacuum filtration and measured by XRPD. The superposition of XRPD diffraction patterns is shown in Figure 47. No morphological changes were observed when the obtained solid was dried overnight under ambient conditions. From the TGA / DSC curve (Figure 48), a 4.5% mass loss was observed up to 150 °C, and a single endothermic peak was observed at 217.0 °C. 1 ¹H NMR measurements were performed using DMSO-d6 as the solvent, and the molar ratios of residual siRNA and residual n-heptane relative to API were 0.05 (0.9 wt%) and 0.02 (0.4 wt%), respectively. The HPLC purity of the solid form of type Q was 98.6% by area percentage. For the solid form of type Q, heating experiments were performed to identify its morphology. According to the XRPD results in Figure 49, no morphological changes were observed before and after heating the solid form of type Q to 150°C and cooling to room temperature, and no residual solvent was detected in the heated sample. Limited mass loss in TGA, clear DSC curve, 1 Based on the presence of a small amount of residual solvent in 1H NMR and the results of heating experiments, the solid form of type Q was identified as anhydrous. DVS was performed on the solid form of type Q. As shown in Figure 50, the water absorption at 25°C / 80%RH was greater than 0.2 wt% but less than 2 wt%, indicating that the solid form of type Q is slightly hygroscopic. As shown in Figure 51, the superposition of XRPD diffraction patterns showed no morphological changes before and after the DVS measurement.
[0141] Example 20: Investigation of thermodynamic relationships in solid forms of Type B and Type Q To further investigate the thermodynamic relationship between the anhydrous solid forms of type B and type Q, slurry competition experiments were conducted in an toluene / n-heptane solvent at 5°C, room temperature, and 50°C, and the results are summarized in the table below. As shown in Figures 52 and 53 (for ease of comparison, XRPD is shown in the range of 2θ = 3° to 20°), only type B was obtained, indicating that type B is the thermodynamically preferred form under the conditions investigated. [Table 10] Procedure: The corresponding solvent was pre-saturated with the solid form of type Q, filtered, and then combined with a weighed sample containing the solid forms of type B and type Q. After slurry treatment at the corresponding temperature for 2-4 days, the wet sample was measured by XRPD.
[0142] Example 21: Experiment Overview In summary, 17 different crystalline structures (I) were detected through polymorphic screening experiments and subsequent treatments. The anhydrous type B solid form exhibited unexpectedly good solid-state properties. On the other hand, the current manufacturing process used to obtain the type B solid form may also generate the type Q solid form.

The results summarized in the table below show that solid forms of types B, C, D, F, G, H, I, K, J+L, solid form of type A with unidentified peaks, and low-crystallinity solid samples were obtained. [Table 15]
[0148] Example 27: Slurry treatment at 50°C Approximately 20 mg of the starting material was suspended in an HPLC vial in the corresponding solvent (0.5 mL) shown in the table below. After slurry processing with magnetic stirring (~750 rpm) at 50°C for 3 days, the remaining solid was isolated by centrifugation for XRPD analysis. The results summarized in the table below show that samples were obtained in the form of solids of types B, C, D, E, and F / solids of type B with unidentified peaks / solids of type C with unidentified peaks. [Table 16]
[0149] Example 28: Method for scaling up the preparation of a solid form of type B For DVS measurement and investigation of thermodynamic relationships, a 300 mg solid form of type B was prepared. The solid form of type B was obtained as follows: The starting material (301.2 mg) was dissolved in ¼ mL of ¼ under sonication. This solution was filtered into another vial using a 0.45 μm PTFE membrane. When n-heptane was added dropwise to this solution with stirring, a precipitate formed after 5 mL of n-heptane was added. A total of 10 mL of n-heptane was added. After slurry treatment overnight at room temperature, the solid was recovered by suction filtration and dried under reduced pressure at 50 °C for 3.5 hours to obtain 239.4 mg of solid (yield: 87.3%). The XRPD diffraction pattern of the re-prepared type B solid form is shown in Figure 54. From the TGA / DSC curve in Figure 55, a 4.0% mass loss was observed up to 150°C, and two endothermic peaks were observed at 209.5°C and 211.9°C. 1 ¹H NMR measurements were performed using DMSO-d6 as the solvent, and the molar ratios of residual SiO and residual n-heptane relative to the API were 0.09 (1.6 wt%) and 0.03 (0.6 wt%), respectively. The HPLC purity of the re-prepared type B solid form was 98.7% by area percentage.
