Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a novel salt of (S)-1-(1-(3-chlorophenyl)-2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)-4-(5-morpholino-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-3-yl)pyridine-2(1H)-one, an inhibitor of ERK kinase (ERK1 and ERK2), its preparation, and its use for therapeutic purposes. [Background technology]
[0002] The ERK protein belongs to the RAS / RAF / MEK / ERK pathway, which plays a crucial role in the cell cycle, proliferation, growth, and survival. The RAS / RAF / MEK / ERK pathway is activated by growth factors via a receptor tyrosine kinase that enables the activation of the GTPase RAS. RAS then activates the RAF protein. RAF then activates MEK, which in turn activates ERK. Ultimately, this process enables the phosphorylation of numerous substrates that play vital roles in metabolism, protein synthesis, cell proliferation, and survival.
[0003] RAF mutations, in particular, cause overactivation of the RAS / RAF / MEK / ERK pathway and are responsible for 7% of all human cancers (Davies et al., Nature. 2002; Garnett et al., Cancer Cell. 2004).
[0004] In fact, RAF mutations are frequently observed in melanoma (27%–70%), thyroid cancer (36%–53%), colorectal cancer (5%–22%), and ovarian cancer (30%). Similarly, RAS mutations are found in approximately 30% of cancers, including pancreatic cancer (90%), lung cancer (35%), colorectal cancer (45%), and liver cancer (30%) (Downward, Nat. Rev. Cancer. 2003).
[0005] Therefore, proteins in the RAS / RAF / MEK / ERK pathway are the subject of research in cancer treatment. In fact, pharmaceutical companies are focusing on the upstream kinases (RAF, MEK).
[0006] However, current treatments using RAF inhibitors and MEK inhibitors eventually lead to resistance (Lito et al., Nat. Med. 2013; Caunt et al., Nat. Rev. Cancer, 2015).
[0007] Furthermore, most resistance to MEK inhibitors or RAF inhibitors induces ERK reactivation through various mechanisms such as MEK mutations, B-RAF amplification, and C-RAF mutations (Little et al., Oncogene, 2013).
[0008] Furthermore, RAF or MEK inhibition suppresses negative feedback of ERK, which restores upward signaling and ultimately restores ERK activity (Lito et al., Nat. Med., 2013).
[0009] Considering the resistance phenomena that have emerged after current treatments with RAF inhibitors and MEK inhibitors, it is essential to develop new treatment options.
[0010] ERK signaling has been shown to play a crucial role in hyperproliferative diseases, as well as in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and Huntington's disease (Cheung et al., Sci.STKE.2004; Bodai et al., Bioessays., 2012), and inflammation such as in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (Thalhamer et al., Rheumatology.2008). Therefore, the present invention relates to the development of ERK inhibitors for treating a wide range of diseases.
[0011] Some ERK inhibitors have already been described in the prior art. For example, US8,697,697B2 describes substituted pyrazole derivatives as ERK2 kinase activity inhibitors. Pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine derivatives have been reported as ERK inhibitors in international patent application WO2014 / 060395A1, and azaindole derivatives have been reported as ERK inhibitors in international patent application WO2017 / 085230A1.
Summary of the Invention
Means for Solving the Problems
[0012] (S)-1-(1-(3-Chlorophenyl)-2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)-4-(5-morpholino-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl)pyridin-2(1H)-one of chemical formula (I) described below is an inhibitor of ERK kinase (ERK1 and ERK2). This can be used particularly as an anticancer agent. TIFF2026525238000002.tif49170 Such compounds have been developed in the form of free bases that can improve solubility. In fact, such ERK inhibitors are desired to exhibit high solubility when used in pharmaceutical formulations, particularly pharmaceutical formulations for oral administration.
[0013] Furthermore, it is desirable that the solubility profile of such ERK inhibitors does not depend on pH conditions. In fact, the free base of such ERK inhibitors has a solubility profile that strongly depends on pH. Thus, at acidic pH, the free base dissolves slightly, but when the pH exceeds 3, the solubility significantly decreases, which is disadvantageous for oral administration. Therefore, there is a need to provide new means for improving the solubility profile of (S)-1-(1-(3-chlorophenyl)-2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)-4-(5-morpholino-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl)pyridin-2(1H)-one with respect to pH.

TIFF2026525238000003.tif49170 Here, the salt is selected from hydrochloride, maleate, esylate, oxoglutarate, malonate, and oxalate.

The sample was subjected to a profile where the relative humidity (RH) was increased by 10% increments from 40% to 90%, while holding the sample at each step, until a stable weight (dm / dt 0.004%, minimum step length 30 minutes, maximum step length 500 minutes) was achieved at 25°C. After the adsorption cycle was completed, the sample was dried to 0% RH using the same procedure, and then a second adsorption cycle was performed, returning it to 40% RH. This cycle was performed twice. The hygroscopicity of the sample could be determined by plotting the weight change during the adsorption / desorption cycle. Next, XRPD analysis was performed on the held solid.

[0158] 10. Determining the pKa The automated titration system includes a UV-Vis spectrometer (Sirius T3). TMA Pion Inc.-made spectroscopy system was incorporated and used for acquiring spectroscopic and / or potentiometric data. The optics consisted of a photodiode array detector with a deuterium lamp and a fiber optic dip probe. The titration module consisted of a temperature controller (using a Peltier element and in-situ thermocouple), a pH electrode, an overhead stirrer, and an electric dispenser for automatic supply of titrant and reagents via a capillary. SiriusT3Control software (V2.0) was used to operate the instrument. SiriusT3Refine software (V2.0) was used for data processing and pKa value generation.
[0159] All experiments are performed at a controlled temperature of 25.0 ± 0.2°C. The pH range of the titration assay is set to pH 2.0 to pH 12.0 unless otherwise specified. Before use, the 0.5 M KOH base titration is standardized by titrating approximately 15 mg of potassium bitrate three times. Subsequently, the 0.5 M HCl titration is standardized relative to the base titration. The assay medium for pKa measurement is maintained under a constant ionic strength of 0.15 M KCl and an argon atmosphere. The pH electrode is calibrated daily using the Avdeef-Bucher four-parameter equation. Both pH and UV methods are used to measure pKa values. The pKa results are recorded for compounds from data obtained using the UV method, where pKa indicates UV activity and pH titration is performed to supplement the UV data. If the pKa value cannot be determined using the UV assay, the pKa value measured by the pH method is provided. The pKa values obtained from spectrophotometer experiments show very good agreement with those obtained by potentiometric titration.
[0160] When incorporating a cosolvent into the assay design, the aqueous pKa value is extrapolated from the apparent pKa value (psKa) measured in the presence of the cosolvent using the Yasuda-Schedrowski extrapolation formula. This formula expresses the reciprocal relationship between psKa and dielectric constant (ε) in different cosolvent mixtures. To determine the aqueous pKa value, titrate at least three different water / cosolvent ratios.

The DSC plot showed that the melting endothermic reaction occurred simultaneously with the onset of decomposition, with the decomposition onset temperature at 281°C and the peak temperature at 285°C. Standalone DSC analysis was consistent with the initial melting event shown in TGA / DSC analysis. No significant thermal events were observed during the subsequent cooling and heating phases. DVS analysis showed adsorption of 0.6 wt% at 80% RH (relative humidity). Subsequent desorption and adsorption steps showed very similar profiles, indicating slight hygroscopicity of the sample. No clear signs of morphological change were observed. Post-experiment XRPD analysis revealed that the same diffraction pattern was obtained.

The mixture was stirred with a magnetic stirrer until completely dissolved, and the pH was 4.98.
[0221] II. Dissolution Test Microdissolutest μDISS Profiler TM This was used in accordance with the AuPRO Instruction Manual 2018-2019 Pion Inc. PN IM10001 Rev D.
[0222] Stock solution Solution 1 (1) was prepared as follows to a concentration of 5 mg / mL using DMSO. • First test using FaSSIF as the donor medium: 24.28 mg of the compound from Example 1 was weighed into a 5 mL volumetric flask. 4 mL of DMSO was added, and the mixture was stirred until the active ingredient was completely dissolved. 5 mL of DMSO was added up to the graduation mark, and the final mixture was stirred. • Second test using FeSSIF as the donor medium: 25.91 mg of the compound from Example 1 was weighed into a 5 mL volumetric flask. 4 mL of DMSO was added and stirred until the active pharmaceutical component was completely dissolved. An appropriate amount of DMSO was added up to the 5 mL mark, and the final mixture was stirred. The first solution was diluted to 1 / 5 with DMSO in a 5 mL volumetric flask to obtain a 1 mg / mL stock solution (2).
[0223] Collection of standard material 1. In FaSSIF media (donor compartment) To create a calibration curve in the donor compartment, standard substances were collected as follows. The test medium was dispensed into glass vials as follows. 15 mL of the test donor medium (FaSSIF) was dispensed into positions 1, 3, 5, and 7. A cruciform stirring bar was placed in the glass vials and stirred at 150 rpm. A probe fitted with a 20 mm tip was inserted into each medium, taking care to avoid air bubbles. 100% transmittance was read to standardize the detection system. Stock solution (1) was added to each medium in stages, and measurements were taken, yielding a concentration range of 0.97 μg / mL to 19.35 μg / mL. The spectrum (OD versus wavelength) was saved as the "blue standard substance". Calculation parameters were selected from the spectrum of the standard substance to create the best performing calibration curve.
[0224] 2. From FaSSIF media to ASB (Acceptor Sync Buffer) media (Acceptor Compartment) The same procedure as above was used, except for the following items. The test medium was dispensed into glass containers. Specifically, 15 mL of acceptor sink buffer (ASB) was dispensed into positions 2, 4, 6, and 8. A 20 mm tip was attached to the probe. Stock solution (2) was added to each medium in stages, and measurements were taken, yielding a concentration range of 0.19 μg / mL to 5.02 μg / mL.
[0225] 3. In the FeSSIF medium (donor compartment) Except for the following items, the same operating procedure as described for the FaSSIF medium was used. The test medium was dispensed into glass containers; specifically, 15 mL of FeSSIF was dispensed into positions 1, 3, 5, and 7. A 10 mm tip was attached to the probe. Stock solution (1) was added to each medium in stages, and measurements were taken, yielding a concentration range of 5.18 μg / mL to 86.62 μg / mL.
[0226] 4. From FeSSIF media to ASB media (acceptor compartment) Except for the following items, the same operating procedure as above was used. Stock solution (2) was added to each medium in stages, and measurements were taken to obtain a concentration range of 0.21 μg / mL to 5.36 μg / mL.
[0227] 5. Dissolution experiment The experiment was conducted as follows. Probes with the following tips were used: 20mm tips were fitted to the donor compartment and acceptor compartment (ASB) containing FaSSIF. A 10mm tip was fitted to the donor compartment containing FeSSIF. μFlux glassware pairs were assembled. The last μFlux glassware pair was reserved for "blank" measurements. 1.2 mg to 1.6 mg of the compound from Example 1 was weighed into each donor compartment to create a donor concentration of 60 μg / mL to 80 μg / mL. Before connecting the μFlux pairs, 25 μL of GIT lipid solution was applied to the PVDF hydrophobic membrane. 20 mL of ASB was added to the acceptor compartment, and 20 mL of test medium was added to the donor compartment. A cruciform stirring bar was placed in each compartment, the μFlux pairs were placed on the heater block, and the stirring speed was set to 150 rpm. The probes with the tips attached were inserted into each medium, taking care to avoid air bubbles. UV spectra were measured in the donor and acceptor compartments for 24 hours. The maximum dissolution rate and solubility at equilibrium were calculated.
[0228] Solubility test 1. Solubility in FaSSGF 22 mg of the compound from Example 1 was precisely weighed into a glass vial. 2 mL of FaSSGF pH 1.6 was added to achieve a concentration of approximately 11 mg / mL, which was thought to be higher than the actual solubility. The mixture was homogenized using a vortex mixer and kept at 37°C while stirring with a magnetic stirrer. Approximately 500 μL of sample was taken at T30 minutes, T4 hours, and T24 hours and filtered through a GV-PVDF 0.22 μm membrane. Each filtrate was divided into two vials. The final pH was measured in the first vial. The solution in the second vial was diluted with HPLC diluent and analyzed by HPLC. The appearance of the mixture at each time point was recorded.
[0229] 2. Solubility in FeSSIF During the dissolution test, the entire amount of the compound from Example 1 introduced into the donor compartment completely dissolved in the FeSSIF medium. Therefore, an additional solubility test was performed in FeSSIF with the goal of achieving a solubility higher than 73 μg / mL. 7 mg of the compound from Example 1 was precisely weighed into a glass vial. 2 mL of FeSSIF pH 5.0 was added to obtain a concentration of approximately 3.5 mg / mL, which is assumed to be higher than the actual solubility. The solubility was then measured as described above.
[0230] III. Results Solubility in simulated intestinal fluid and simulated gastric fluid 1. Solubility at FaSSIF pH 6.5 The individual and average solubility of the compounds obtained from Example 1 in FaSSIF medium (pH 6.5, 37°C) was measured to determine the solubility data for the compounds from Example 1. The dissolution step lasted approximately 1 hour until a plateau was reached. The compounds from Example 1 (average concentration 61 μg / mL) introduced into the donor compartment did not dissolve completely, allowing the solubility to be determined. At equilibrium, the average solubility at 37°C was measured as 3.44 μg / mL ± 0.17 μg / mL during the plateau from 1 hour to 3.3 hours.
[0231] 2. Solubility at FeSSIF pH 5.0 The individual and average solubility of the compounds obtained from Example 1 in FeSSIF medium (pH 5.0, 37°C) was measured to determine the solubility data for the compounds from Example 1. The dissolution step was continued for approximately 30 minutes until the maximum soluble concentration was reached. Since the compounds from Example 1 (average concentration 73 μg / mL) introduced into the donor compartment were completely dissolved, the actual solubility of the compounds from Example 1 in FeSSIF can be expected to be greater than 73 μg / mL.
[0232] 3. Solubility at FeSSIF pH 5.0 and FaSSGF pH 1.6 The table below shows the solubility data of the compound according to Example 1, and the final pH after 30 minutes, 4 hours, and 24 hours at FeSSIF pH 5.0 and FaSSGF pH 1.6. [Table 15] The compound from Example 1 showed a solubility of 328 μg / mL after 24 hours at 37°C in FeSSIF pH=5.0. This value was already achieved at a maximum of 4 hours, supporting the data obtained in the dissolution test (see >73 μg / mL). In FaSSGF at pH 1.6, a solubility of 6.7 mg / mL was obtained after 24 hours at 37°C. This value is on the same order of magnitude as the solubility obtained after 4 hours (7.0 mg / mL), but lower than the value obtained after 30 minutes (8.9 mg / mL), indicating that the API may reprecipitation at equilibrium, which appears to be consistent with visual observation (change from a milky white suspension at T=30 minutes to a solution containing particles at T=24 hours). At 6.7 mg / mL, the compound from Example 1 exhibits buffering capacity that raises the initial pH of FaSSGF from 1.6 to 2.9. In biomedical media, the solubility of the compound from Example 1 at pH 1.6 is 20 times higher than its solubility at pH 5.0.
[0233] 4. Comparison of solubility data The solubility data obtained for the compounds according to Example 1 in biomedical media and buffer solutions are shown in the table below, along with pH, media composition, and the ionization state of the two pKa values. We determined which of the two sets of data—the experimentally obtained pKa and the calculated pKa—represented the correct evaluation. [Table 16] The solubility of the compound in Example 1 increases with decreasing pH (expected behavior for a base). The solubility profiles better agree with the experimentally obtained pKa values (2.85 and 6.81) than with the overly high calculated values (5.8 and 8.5). In biomedical media, the solubility of FaSSIF at pH 6.5 is approximately three times higher (3.4 μg / mL compared to 1.2 μg / mL at phosphate buffer pH 6.7), and that of FeSSIF at pH 5.1 is approximately eight times higher (328 μg / mL compared to an estimated solubility of approximately 40 μg / mL between 13 μg / mL and 149 μg / mL obtained at acetate buffer pH 5.5 and 4.6, respectively). FeSSIF is three times more concentrated in surfactants than FaSSIF, which may explain this difference in solubility improvement. In FaSSGF, the compound from Example 1 exhibits a high solubility of 6.66 mg / mL and a buffering capacity that raises the initial pH from 1.6 to 2.9. The compound from Example 1 is considered to have "low solubility".
[0234] Example 12: Monohydrochloride anhydrous salt The monohydrochloride salt of compound number 1 was prepared as follows: 800 mg of the compound from Example 10 was weighed into a 20 mL vial and suspended in 15 mL of 2-propanol. 1.05 equivalents of hydrochloric acid were added to the system in stock form. The experiment then involved a temperature cycle from 50°C to 20°C at 0.1°C / min, holding at each temperature for 1 hour, followed by stirring for 48 hours. After this, mainly amorphous diffraction patterns were observed. The solid was isolated under vacuum by Buchner filtration. 15 mL of acetone was added to the solid, and the slurry was circulated for a further 48 hours. After this, the diffraction pattern indicated the formation of the hydrochloride salt. The solid was isolated and dried under vacuum at 40°C for approximately 24 hours. After drying, no changes were observed in the diffraction pattern.
[0235] This salt was well characterized as hydrochloride pattern 1. The following observations and results were obtained. The solid isolated from 2-propanol after 48 hours was mostly amorphous. The solubility of the hydrochloride was not sufficiently high at 50°C, and efficient Ostwald aging did not occur, resulting in the failure to obtain a highly crystalline substance. However, a crystalline substance was obtained when the mixture was re-slurried with acetone. XRPD analysis (Figure 1) showed that this substance was consistent with hydrochloride pattern 1. No morphological changes occurred upon drying. PLM analysis revealed very small, birefringent needle-shaped crystals. TGA analysis showed no weight loss up to the melting point, indicating that it is an anhydrous salt. The melting point occurred at the onset of molecular decomposition / disproportionation. Simultaneous DSC analysis revealed an endothermic reaction that began at 256°C (peak at 267°C). • DSC analysis was performed with the material sealed airtight with a perforated lid. In the initial heating phase of the DSC analysis, an endothermic reaction was observed, starting at 273°C and peaking at 275°C. Vitrification, which was expected after the initial melting, was not observed during the cooling cycle. Similarly, no clear thermal phenomena were observed in the second heating phase. DVS analysis revealed that hydrochloride pattern 1 was slightly hygroscopic, absorbing 0.97% by weight of water at a relative humidity of 80% (0.4 molar equivalents of water). No signs of morphological change were observed during the DVS experiment, and equilibration was rapid at each step. XRPD analysis showed no morphological changes in hydrochloride pattern 1 after the completion of the DVS experiment. HPLC analysis revealed that the hydrochloride salt had a purity of 98.39%. HPLC-CAD analysis revealed a chloride content of 7.0 w / w% (average of two repeated measurements), which is consistent with the presence of a monohydrochloride salt. • FT-IR analysis was consistent with expectations. No signs of hydration were observed in the crystal structure. • Hydrochloride pattern 1 1 ¹H NMR analysis revealed the presence of 0.06 molar equivalents (trace amount) of 2-propanol, and the chemical shift was consistent with salt formation. The following values were obtained from the PSD analysis of hydrochloride pattern 1. D10-0.824μm • D50 - 2.705 μm • D90-11.635μm
[0236] Thermodynamic solubility (according to Test 2) The results of the thermodynamic solubility test of salt are as follows: [Table 17] Thermodynamic solubility evaluation of hydrochloride pattern 1 showed a solubility of approximately 20 mg / mL in water and FaSSGF throughout the test period. In FaSSIF, the solubility at each time point was less than approximately 3 mg / mL. Furthermore, analysis of XRPD diffraction patterns 24 hours after extraction from water and FaSSGF showed that hydrochloride pattern 1 was recovered unchanged in water after 24 hours, although its crystallinity was poor. In FaSSIF, several small peaks that could be attributed to free base were observed throughout the test period.
[0237] 7-day stability test Seven-day stability tests of the salt showed no morphological changes under ambient light, 40°C / 75%RH, 80°C, or migliol, indicating that purity was maintained under all conditions. These data highlight the morphological stability of the salt under these conditions.
[0238] Hydration test At each water activity level investigated, hydrochloride pattern 1 was observed, and hydrochloride pattern 1 was shown to be stable at least up to a water activity of 0.8. These data provide detailed evidence that the hydrochloride is stable against hydration.
[0239] 3-month stability test After storage for two weeks under each condition, the purity of both hydrochloride pattern 1 and free base remained unchanged from the purity at the time of introduction (hydrochloride pattern 1: 98.39, free base: 98.56). Chemical stability also remained unchanged, and the XRPD diffraction patterns showed free base pattern 1 and hydrochloride pattern 1, respectively. The absence of changes in the diffraction patterns indicates that the physical and chemical purity remained stable even after one month. After three months, the purity of each sample remained unchanged relative to the input substance. No changes were observed in the diffraction patterns, indicating that the physical and chemical purity remained stable under the test conditions even after three months.
[0240] conclusion Hydrochloride pattern 1 is an anhydrous monohydrochloride with good thermal properties, maintaining its form and crystallinity under dry conditions, storage at 40°C / 75%RH, and storage at high temperatures. This salt exhibited a good chemical and physical stability profile in solid state, maintaining its form and purity after one week under each accelerated degradation condition (80°C, 40°C / 75%RH, and in migliol). The hydrochloride remained substantially unchanged after 24 hours, indicating improved robustness in biocompatible media. A 3-month stability test demonstrated that the compound maintained high purity and crystalline form.
[0241] Example 13: Hydrochloride hydrate salt The hydrochloride hydrate of compound number 1 was prepared as follows: The compound from Example 10 was added to 3.33 times the volume of ethanol for crystallization under nitrogen protection. The slurry was heated to 70°C to 75°C and held for 0.5 to 1 hour. 1.1 equivalents of hydrochloric acid were diluted with 1.67 times the volume of water. The resulting hydrochloric acid solution was added to the slurry. A clear solution was obtained. This solution was cooled to 65°C to 70°C, 0.5% by weight of seed crystals were added, and it was aged for 2 to 4 hours. Next, the solution was cooled to 20°C to 25°C over 4.5 to 9 hours and aged for 1 to 2 hours. 20 times the volume of acetone was added over 5 to 10 hours and aged for 2 to 4 hours. The solution was cooled to -5°C to 0°C over 2.5 to 5 hours and held at -5°C to 0°C for 4 to 8 hours. The slurry was filtered, and the wet cake was washed twice with 1 times the volume of acetone. The solid material is separated and dried under vacuum at 40°C to 45°C until a constant weight is reached.
[0242] This salt was well characterized as hydrochloride pattern 2. Based on the following data, pattern 2 was shown to be a hydrate. The following observations and results were obtained. XRPD analysis (Figure 2) showed that the sample was consistent with hydrochloride pattern 2. No morphological changes occurred due to drying. X-ray powder diffraction data were collected at room temperature and atmospheric pressure using a Bruker D2 PHASER diffractometer equipped with a 300 W low-power X-ray generator. Powder patterns were collected at 30 kV and 10 mA using a zero-background sample holder, at 0.15 seconds / step, a total of 1837 steps, and a 2θ of 0.02° per step. A Cu(Kα) X-ray tube was used, and the Kα2 / Kα1 intensity ratio was 0.50 (1.54439 Å / 1.5406 Å). According to TGA analysis, a weight loss of 11.4% was observed up to 150°C (approximately 3.4% per equivalent of water), and a weight loss of 2.7% was observed from 150°C to 205°C. Thermogravimetric analysis data was collected using a TA Discovery 550 series TGA. A few milligrams of sample were heated from room temperature to the target temperature at a heating rate of 10°C per minute under nitrogen protection. The DSC results showed three endothermic reactions at 85.3°C, 194.5°C, and 255.5°C (peak temperature). Differential scanning calorimetry was performed using a TA Discovery 2500 series DSC with approximately several mg of sample placed in a Tzero aluminum pan sealed with a Tzero airtight lid. The sample was analyzed under a nitrogen flow of 50 mL / min at a heating rate of 10°C / min. • Hydrochloride pattern 2 1 ¹H NMR analysis revealed that the molar ratio of residual 1,4-dioxane to free base was 0.05 (0.8 wt%). 1 ¹H NMR data were acquired using a Bruker AVANCE NEO 400MHz in DMSO-d6 solvent. For pattern 2, ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) and IC were tested. As a result, the purity by UPLC was 99.55% area, and Cl - The content was 5.9%, and the acid / base stoichiometric ratio was shown to be 1.0.
[0243] UPLC was used in the manner shown in the table below. [Table 18]
[0244] The chloride ion content data was collected using a DIONEX ICS-6000+ DP (Chromeleon 7.2 system) ion chromatography system, and the method is shown in the table below. [Table 19]
[0245] Example 14: Maleate The maleate of compound number 1 was prepared as follows: The compound from Example 10 (800 mg) was weighed into a 20 mL vial and suspended in 2-propanol (16 mL). 1.05 equivalents of maleic acid were added to the system in stock solution. Next, a temperature cycle was performed from 20 °C to 50 °C at 0.1 °C / min, and the mixture was held and stirred at each temperature for 1 hour. After one cycle, a certain amount was taken and examined by XRPD, confirming that it was in the correct form. The solid was isolated, dried under vacuum at 40 °C for 16 hours, and then re-analyzed by XRPD.
[0246] This salt was well characterized as maleate pattern 1. The following observations and results were obtained. XRPD analysis (Figure 3) showed that the substance was in the correct form after one thermal cycle. XRPD analysis of the wet cake after separation showed that the substance was consistent with maleate pattern 1. There was no change in morphology due to drying. PLM analysis revealed very small, birefringent, irregularly shaped crystals. TGA analysis showed no weight loss until the simultaneous melting / disproportionation reaction at approximately 170°C. At this point, there was a loss of 18.8 wt%, which corresponds to 1.2 equivalents of maleic acid. Simultaneous DSC analysis showed that an endothermic reaction initiated at 177°C (peak 184°C). A second endothermic reaction initiated at 269°C (peak 276°C), which was associated with the melting of the free base. • DSC analysis was performed with the material sealed airtight with a perforated lid. In the initial heating phase of the DSC analysis, an endothermic reaction was observed, starting at 172°C and peaking at 178°C. This was immediately followed by an exothermic reaction indicating the possibility of recrystallization. This exothermic reaction is likely due to the recrystallization of free bases generated during the disproportionation reaction. During the cooling cycle, the vitrification reaction expected after the initial melt was not observed. In the second heating phase, a glass transition was observed with an intermediate point at 128°C. DVS analysis showed that maleate pattern 1 is slightly hygroscopic, absorbing 1.6 wt% of water at 80% RH (0.5 molar equivalents of water). In the first cycle (humidity 70% RH to 80% RH), a weight loss (0.5 wt%, i.e., 0.16 equivalents of water) was observed, which is likely due to some crystallization phenomenon induced under high humidity conditions. According to XRPD analysis, there was no change in the morphology of maleate pattern 1 after the completion of the DVS experiment. HPLC analysis showed that the purity of the maleate was 98.32% area. • FT-IR analysis was consistent with expectations. No hydration of the crystalline form was observed. • Maleate pattern 1 1 ¹H NMR analysis revealed the presence of 0.07 molar equivalents (trace amount) of 2-propanol, and the chemical shift was consistent with salt formation. Furthermore, it contained 0.93 equivalents of maleic acid, which was consistent with the presence of a monosalt. The following values were obtained from the PSD analysis of maleate ester pattern 1. D10-2,470μm • D50-11.677μm • D90-34.125μm
[0247] Thermodynamic solubility (according to Test 2) The results of the thermodynamic solubility test of salt are as follows: [Table 20] Maleate pattern 1 showed a solubility of approximately 8 mg / mL in FaSSIF, but XRPD analysis at each time point confirmed the diffraction pattern of free bases. Solubility in water was approximately 30 mg / mL. In this example, XRPD analysis revealed two new patterns during the experimental period. A new pattern (pattern 2) was observed at T=0 and T=4 hours, and a second new pattern (pattern 3) was observed at T=24 hours. These patterns may represent hydrated forms. Solubility was much higher in FaSSGF (approximately 80 mg / mL), and new patterns were observed again. Pattern 2 was observed at T=0 hours, and pattern 3 was observed at T=4 hours and T=24 hours.
[0248] 7-day stability test Seven-day stability tests of the salt showed no morphological changes under ambient light, 40°C / 75%RH, 80°C, or in migliol, indicating that purity was maintained under all conditions. These data highlight the morphological stability of the salt under these conditions.
[0249] Salt disproportionation test Based on observations of the solution, no disproportionation occurred during the test.
[0250] conclusion Maleate pattern 1 was an anhydrous monomaleate with good thermal properties. This maleate was physically and chemically stable under dry conditions, storage at 40°C / 75%RH, and storage at high temperatures. This salt exhibited a good chemical and physical stability profile in solid state and maintained its shape and purity after one week under each accelerated degradation condition (80°C, 40°C / 75%RH, in migliol). This maleate showed high thermodynamic solubility.
[0251] Example 15: Esilate The esylate of compound number 1 was prepared as follows: Approximately 250 mg of the compound from Example 10 was weighed into a 20 mL vial. 8.5 mL of acetone was added, followed by the addition of a magnetic stirrer bar. 46 μL (1.05 equivalents) of ethanesulfonic acid was added in stock. The solution was stirred at 40°C for 5 minutes. The experiment involved a thermal cycle between 20°C and 50°C at a rate of 0.1°C / min, with the mixture held at 20°C and 50°C for 1 hour. After 72 hours, a portion of the mixture was taken, isolated by centrifugal filtration, and analyzed by XRPD. The XRPD analysis showed that esylate pattern 1 was obtained. The solid was separated by Buchner filtration (42.5 mm diameter, grade 1, Whatman), washed with cold acetone, and dried under vacuum at 40°C for 16 hours. XRPD analysis was performed on the dried solid. The purity of the esylate was determined by PLM, TG / DSC, DSC, 1 Measurements were taken by 1H NMR and HPLC.
[0252] The following results were obtained for esylate pattern 1. XRPD analysis of the substance isolated from acetone (Figure 4) revealed a crystalline substance consistent with ethylate pattern 1. PLM exhibited birefringence under cross-polarization. However, the crystals were small and had an irregular morphology. The TGA plot showed a loss of 1.3 wt% (equivalent to 0.43 equivalents of surface moisture), which is consistent with the anhydrous esylate. The DSC plot showed two endothermic reactions with an initiation temperature of 190°C and peak temperatures of 197°C and 247°C. DSC analysis revealed melting during the first heating phase at an initiation temperature of 189°C and a peak temperature of 197°C. Vitrification was observed at approximately 63°C during the first cooling phase. A glass transition was observed during the second heating phase with an intermediate temperature of approximately 70°C. · 1 ¹H NMR analysis revealed only trace amounts of solvent, which is consistent with ethylate pattern 1. The spectrum showed approximately 0.5 equivalents of ethanesulfonic acid, indicating that it is a hemi salt. HPLC analysis showed that the purity of ethylate pattern 1 was 99.44% area.
[0253] Thermodynamic solubility (according to Test 1) Esilates showed moderate to low solubility in unbuffered water and FaSSGF, with solubility ranging from 7 mg / mL to 13 mg / mL. In FaSSIF, high solubility exceeding 86 mg / mL was observed.
[0254] Example 16: Oxoglutarate Oxoglutarate of compound number 1 was prepared as follows: Approximately 250 mg of the compound from Example 10 was weighed into a 20 mL vial. 3 mL of dichloromethane was added, followed by the addition of a magnetic stirrer bar. 81.2 mg (1.05 equivalents) of ketoglutarate was added in stock. The experiment involved performing a temperature cycle at a rate of 0.1 °C / min between 5 °C and 20 °C, and holding at 5 °C and 20 °C for 1 hour. After 48 hours, a portion of the mixture was taken, isolated by centrifugation, and analyzed by XRPD. Since an erroneous morphology was observed, the heating cycle was performed for a further 24 hours. XRPD analysis after a total of 72 hours showed that oxoglutarate of pattern 1 was obtained. The solid was separated by Buchner filtration (42.5 mm diameter grade 1, Whatman) and dried under vacuum at 40 °C for 16 hours. XRPD analysis was performed on the dried solid. The purity and organic acid content of oxoglutarate are determined by PLM, TG / DSC, DSC, 1 Measurements were taken by 1H NMR and HPLC.
[0255] The following results were obtained for oxoglutaric acid pattern 1. XRPD analysis of the sample isolated from dichloromethane (Figure 5) showed a crystalline substance consistent with oxoglutaric acid pattern 1. PLM exhibited birefringence under cross-polarization. The crystals were small and had an irregular shape. The TGA plot showed a loss of 11.7% by weight (equivalent to 0.57 equivalents of ketoglutaric acid) between 170°C and 220°C. However, since the mass loss of TGA above this temperature was continuous, the true stoichiometric value of the salt was obtained from the measurement of organic acid content by HPLC (see below). The DSC plot showed an endothermic reaction at an initiation temperature of 177°C and a peak temperature of 182°C, and a second endothermic reaction was observed during molecular decomposition at an initiation temperature of 245°C and a peak temperature of 257°C. DSC analysis captured endothermic events at an initiation temperature of 177°C and a peak temperature of 183°C, and at an initiation temperature of 250°C and a peak temperature of 260°C. The first event is likely part of a simultaneous melting / disproportionation reaction, and the second event is thought to be the melting of free base. · 1 ¹H NMR analysis was consistent with salt formation, and the presence of only trace amounts of DCM confirmed that pattern 1 is an anhydrous salt. HPLC analysis of the organic acid content revealed that ketoglutaric acid was present at 23.3 w / w%, which corresponds to 1.0 molar equivalent and is consistent with its monosalte form. HPLC analysis showed that the purity of oxoglutarate pattern 1 was 98.52% area.
[0256] Thermodynamic solubility (according to Test 1) The results of the thermodynamic solubility test of salt are as follows: [Table 21] Oxoglutarate showed moderate solubility in all media, with solubility of 7 mg / mL to 11 mg / mL in unbuffered water and FaSSIF, and 20 mg / mL to 26 mg / mL in FaSSGF.
[0257] Example 17: Malonate Malonic acid salt of compound number 1 was prepared as follows: Approximately 250 mg of the compound from Example 10 was weighed into a 20 mL vial. 3 mL of dichloromethane was added, followed by the addition of a magnetic stirrer bar. 57.8 mg (1.05 equivalents) of malonic acid was added in stock. The experiment involved performing a temperature cycle at a rate of 0.1 °C / min between 5 °C and 20 °C, holding at 5 °C and 20 °C for 1 hour. After 24 hours, a portion of the mixture was taken, isolated by centrifugation, and analyzed by XRPD. The XRPD analysis showed that a malonic acid salt of pattern 2 was obtained. The solid was separated by Buchner filtration (42.5 mm diameter, grade 1, Whatman) and dried under vacuum at 40 °C for 16 hours. XRPD analysis was performed on the dried solid.

PLM analysis showed birefringence under cross-polarized light. The crystals were small and had an irregular shape. • In the TGA plot, no mass loss was observed up to 180°C, but 32.3% by weight was lost at 180°C, which corresponds to 2 molar equivalents of oxalic acid, indicating that oxalate pattern 2 is bisoxalate. • DSC plots showed an endothermic reaction at an initial temperature of 204°C and a peak temperature of 209°C. After the loss of oxalic acid, a second endothermic reaction was observed at an initial temperature of 251°C and a peak temperature of 267°C, which is related to the melting of free base material. DSC analysis showed a small endothermic reaction at an initial temperature of 209°C and a peak temperature of 212°C. No clear vitrification was observed during the cooling phase, but a glass transition was observed at 123°C during the second heating phase, which is consistent with melting and formation of amorphous material during the first heating phase. · 1 ¹H NMR analysis confirmed that pattern 2 is an anhydrous salt, consistent with salt formation and showing only trace amounts of methanol. HPLC measurement of organic acid content revealed oxalic acid at 32.6 w / w%, which corresponds to 2 molar equivalents and is consistent with the presence of a bis(b) salt. HPLC analysis revealed that the purity of oxalate pattern 2 was 98.72% area.

XRPD analysis of the substance isolated from 2-propanol (Figure 8) showed a crystalline substance consistent with besylate pattern 1. PLM exhibited birefringence under cross-polarized light. However, the crystals were small and had an irregular shape. The TGA plot showed a loss of 1.2 wt% (equivalent to 0.43 equivalents of surface moisture), which is consistent with the anhydrous besilate. The DSC plot showed endothermic melting at an initiation temperature of 221°C and a peak temperature of 224°C before decomposition began. DSC analysis revealed melting during the first heating phase at an initiation temperature of 221°C and a peak temperature of 224°C.
