Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] Related applications This application claims priority and benefits of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 555,390, filed on 7 September 2017, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference. [Background technology]

[0002] background Signal transduction is the process by which cells convert one type of signal or stimulus into another. Protein kinases are involved in signal transduction. Tyrosine kinases are enzymes that can transfer phosphate groups from ATP to tyrosine residues in proteins through a process called phosphorylation, which is a crucial mechanism in signal transduction for regulating enzyme activity. Because kinases are involved in regulating a wide range of normal cellular signaling pathways, they are thought to play a role in many diseases and disorders. Approximately 50% of known oncogene products are protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs), and their kinase activity has been shown to induce cell transformation. For this reason, regulating the kinase signaling cascade may be an important means of treating or preventing diseases and disorders.

[0003] Various known protein kinase inhibitors have a variety of therapeutic applications. One promising therapeutic application of protein kinase inhibitors is as anticancer agents. 2-(5-(4-(2-morpholinoethoxy)phenyl)pyridine-2-yl)-N-benzylacetamide is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that can modulate the kinase cascade. The free base compound is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 7,300,931 (Patent Document 1).

[0004] The polymorphism of a compound affects many of its properties, including solubility, hygroscopicity, chemical reactivity, and stability. Many of the inconsistencies encountered in drug performance can be attributed to polymorphism. Regardless of the importance of polymorphism, methods for predicting the existence of possible polymorphs of a compound and the conditions under which they can form are unreliable, and methods for producing polymorphs often fail to consistently and reliably generate them.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to discover a solid form of 2-(5-(4-(2-morpholinoethoxy)phenyl)pyridine-2-yl)-N-benzylacetamide that exhibits desirable physicochemical properties. This invention addresses this need. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0077] The terms "crystalline polymorphism," "crystalline polymorphism," "crystalline form," "polymorph," or "polymorphic form" refer to a crystalline structure in which a compound (e.g., its free base, salt, or solvate) can crystallize in different crystalline packing configurations, all of which have the same elemental composition. Different crystalline forms typically have different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, melting points, densities, crystalline forms, optical and electrical properties, stability, and solubility. Crystallization solvent, crystallization rate, storage temperature, and other factors may cause one crystalline form to dominate. Crystallographic polymorphisms of a compound can be prepared by crystallization under different conditions. Furthermore, crystalline polymorphism may exist but is not limited to it, and any crystalline form may be single, a mixture of crystalline forms, or anhydrous or hydrated crystalline forms.

[0078] Differences in physical properties exhibited by polymorphisms are a result of the arrangement or three-dimensional structure of molecules in the crystal lattice and can affect pharmaceutical parameters such as storage stability, compressibility and density (important in formulation and product manufacturing), and solubility (an important factor in bioavailability). Differences in stability can also result from changes in chemical reactivity (e.g., differential oxidation, where the dosage form fades more rapidly when composed of one polymorph than when composed of another), mechanical properties (e.g., tablets crumble during storage as a kinetically preferred polymorph transforms into a thermodynamically more stable polymorph), or both (e.g., tablets of one polymorph are more prone to disintegration at high humidity). In extreme cases, as a result of solubility / solubility differences, the transition of some polymorphs may lead to a lack of potency, or conversely, toxicity. Furthermore, the physical properties of the crystals can be important in processing; for example, one polymorph may be more likely to form solvates, or impurities may be difficult to filter and wash away (e.g., particle shape and size distribution may differ between polymorphs).

[0079] The term "amorphous form" refers to the non-crystalline solid form of a substance.

[0080] Furthermore, the compounds of this application (e.g., free bases and salts, and amorphous, crystalline, and polymorphic forms thereof) may exist in hydrated or unhydrated (anhydrous) forms, as solvates with other solvent molecules, or in unsolvated forms. Non-limiting examples of hydrates include hemihydrates, monohydrates, dihydrates, etc. Non-limiting examples of solvates include DMSO solvate, DMSO hemisolvate, etc.

[0081] All forms of the compound of this application are envisioned, either as a mixture or in a pure or substantially pure form, such as the crystalline form of a racemic mixture and the crystalline forms of individual isomers.

[0082] Molecular polymorphisms can be obtained by numerous methods known in this art. Such methods include, but are not limited to, melt recrystallization, melt cooling, solvent recrystallization, desolvation, rapid evaporation, rapid cooling, slow cooling, vapor diffusion, and sublimation.

[0083] Techniques for determining the properties of the solid forms of polymorphs and other compounds include, but are not limited to, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), single-crystal X-ray diffraction, vibrational spectroscopy (e.g., infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy), TGA, DTA, DVS, solid-state NMR, hot-stage optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron crystallography and quantitative analysis, particle size analysis (PSA), surface area analysis, solubility studies and dissolution studies.

[0084] As used herein, the term “solvate” means a solvation form containing either stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts of solvent. Some compounds tend to capture solvent molecules in a molar ratio fixed in the crystalline solid state, and for this reason, form solvates. When the solvate is water, the solvate formed is a hydrate; when the solvent is an alcohol, the solvate formed is an alcoholate. Hydrates are formed by a combination of one substance and one or more water molecules, where water retains its molecular state as H2O, and such combinations can form one or more hydrates. For example, solvates may be DMSO solvate, dichloromethane (DCM) solvate, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) solvate, or tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvate.

[0085] As used herein, the terms “unsolvated” or “desolvated” refer to the solid state form of a substance that does not contain a solvent (e.g., crystalline form, amorphous form, and polymorphic form).

[0086] As used herein, the term “pure” means a compound that is about 90–100%, preferably 95–100%, more preferably 98–100% (weight / weight) or 99–100% (weight / weight) pure, and which may contain, for example, less than about 10%, less than about 5%, less than about 2%, or less than 1% impurities. Such impurities include, for example, decomposition products, oxidation products, solvents, and / or other undesirable impurities.

[0087] When used herein, a compound is considered "stable" if, over a period of time (e.g., one, two, three, and four weeks), no significant amount of degradation products are observed under constant conditions of humidity (e.g., 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, and 95% RH), light exposure, and temperature (e.g., above 0°C, e.g., 20°C, 25°C, 30°C, 35°C, 40°C, 45°C, 50°C, 55°C, 60°C, 65°C, and 70°C). A compound is not considered stable under certain conditions if degradation impurities appear, or if the area percentage of existing impurities (e.g., AUC as determined by HPLC) begins to increase. The amount of degradation increase as a function of time is important in determining the stability of a compound. In some embodiments, if a compound exhibits high hygroscopicity (i.e., a tendency to absorb water under high humidity conditions), the compound is less stable. Therefore, in some embodiments, the stability of a compound can be measured by evaluating its hygroscopicity. A compound is more hygroscopic if it absorbs more water than another compound under the same storage conditions (e.g., the same humidity and / or temperature).

[0088] As used herein, the term “mixing” means combining, blending, stirring, shaking, rotating, or churning. The term “stirring” means mixing, shaking, churning, or rotating. The term “churning” means mixing, shaking, churning, or rotating.

[0089] Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the terms “approximately” and “about” are synonymous. In one aspect, “approximately” and “about” represent ±10%, ±8%, ±6%, ±5%, ±4%, ±2%, ±1%, or ±0.5% of the stated quantity, value, or period. In another aspect, “approximately” and “about” represent ±10%, ±8%, ±6%, ±5%, ±4%, or ±2% of the listed quantity, value, or period. In yet another aspect, “approximately” and “about” represent ±5% of the listed quantity, value, or period. In yet another aspect, “approximately” and “about” represent ±2% or ±1% of the listed quantity, value, or period.

[0090] When the terms “approximately” and “about” are used to describe XRPD peaks, these terms represent the described X-ray powder diffraction peaks ±0.3°²θ, ±0.2°²θ, or ±0.1°²θ. In another embodiment, the terms “approximately” and “about” represent the listed X-ray powder diffraction peaks ±0.2°²θ. In another embodiment, the terms “approximately” and “about” represent the listed X-ray powder diffraction peaks ±0.1°²θ.

[0091] When the terms “approximately” and “about” are used to express temperature or a temperature range, these terms represent the expressed temperature or temperature range ±5°C, ±2°C, or ±1°C. In another embodiment, the terms “approximately” and “about” represent the expressed temperature or temperature range ±2°C.

In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition comprises the solid form of compound A of the present application and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, and the pharmaceutical composition is formulated for topical administration.

[0107] A "pharmaceutical composition" is a preparation containing the compound of the present application in a form suitable for administration to a subject. In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition is in bulk or in unit dosage form. The unit dosage form is any form in various forms, such as capsules, IV bags, tablets, single pumps or vials of aerosol inhalers. The amount of the active ingredient (e.g., preparation of one or more of the disclosed compounds) in a unit dose of the composition is an effective amount and will vary depending on the specific treatment involved. Those skilled in the art will understand that it may sometimes be necessary to make standard adjustments to the dosage depending on the patient's age and symptoms. The dosage will also depend on the route of administration. Various routes are envisioned, including topical, oral, pulmonary, rectal, parenteral, transdermal, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, inhalation, buccal, sublingual, intrapleural, subarachnoid, and intranasal. Dosage forms for topical or transdermal administration of the compounds of the present disclosure include powders, sprays, ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, solutions, patches and inhalants. In one embodiment, the active compound is mixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and any necessary preservatives, buffers, or sprays.

[0108] As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable” means a compound, material, composition, carrier and / or dosage form that, within the bounds of sound medical judgment, is suitable for use in contact with human and animal tissues without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response or other problems or challenges, in proportion to a reasonable benefit / risk ratio.

[0109] "Pharmacologically acceptable excipients" generally means excipients that are safe, non-toxic, and free from biological or other undesirable hazards, and are useful in preparing pharmaceutical compositions, and include excipients that are acceptable for veterinary use as well as human pharmaceutical use. As used herein and in the claims, "pharmaceutically acceptable excipients" includes both one and more such excipients.

[0110] The pharmaceutical compositions of this application are formulated to be compatible with their intended route of administration. Examples of routes of administration include parenteral (e.g., intravenous), intradermal, subcutaneous, oral (e.g., inhalation), transdermal, topical, and transmucosal administration. Solutions or suspensions used for parenteral, intradermal, or subcutaneous application may contain the following components: sterile diluents such as water for injection, physiological saline solution, non-volatile oil, polyethylene glycol, glycerin, propylene glycol, or other synthetic solvents; antimicrobial agents such as benzyl alcohol or methylparaben; antioxidants such as ascorbic acid or sodium bisulfite; chelating agents such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid; buffering agents such as acetate, citrate, or phosphate; and osmotic regulators such as sodium chloride or dextrose. pH can be adjusted using an acid or base such as hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide. Parenteral preparations may be sealed in ampoules, disposable syringes, or multi-dose vials made of glass or plastic.

[0111] The compounds or pharmaceutical compositions of this application can be administered to a subject by many of the well-known methods currently used for treatment. For example, for the treatment of cancer, the compounds of this application may be injected directly into the tumor, injected into the bloodstream or body cavity, taken orally, or applied to the skin using a patch. The selected dose should be sufficient to constitute an effective treatment, but should not be so high as to cause unacceptable side effects. The state of the disease symptoms (e.g., cancer, precancerous disease) and the patient's health should preferably be closely monitored for a reasonable period during and after the treatment.

[0112] The pharmaceutical compositions of this application may also be formulated for topical administration. Topical compositions may be administered to the affected area, such as the skin. The affected area of ​​the skin may be located in one or more sites independently selected from the scalp, forehead, forearms, face, nose, ears, eyelids, lips, neck, arms, hands, torso, legs, and feet. In one embodiment, there may be more than one affected area. In one embodiment, there may be more than one affected area located in one or more sites independently selected from the scalp, forehead, forearms, face, nose, ears, eyelids, lips, neck, arms, hands, torso, legs, and feet.

[0113] As used herein, the term “therapeutically effective dose” refers to the amount of an agent used to treat, alleviate, or prevent a specified disease or condition, or to exhibit a detectable therapeutic or inhibitory effect. The effect can be detected by any assay known in the art. The exact effective dose for a subject will depend on the subject’s weight, body size, and health; the nature and severity of the symptoms; and the therapeutic agent or combination of therapeutic agents selected for administration. A therapeutically effective dose for a given situation can be determined by routine experimental methods within the scope of the clinician’s skill and judgment. In a preferred context, the disease or condition to be treated is cancer. In another context, the disease or condition to be treated is a cytoproliferative disorder.

[0114] For any compound, the therapeutically effective dose can first be estimated, for example, in a cell culture assay of neoplastic cells, or in an animal model, usually rats, mice, rabbits, dogs, or pigs. Animal models can also be used to determine appropriate concentration ranges and routes of administration. Such information can then be used to determine useful doses and routes for administration in humans, including therapeutic / preventive effects and toxicity, e.g., ED. 50 (Therapeutic dose effective in 50% of the population) and LD 50 The dose (lethal to 50% of the population) can be determined by standard pharmaceutical methods in cell cultures or experimental animals. The dose ratio between the toxic effect and the therapeutic effect is the therapeutic index, and the LD50. 50 / ED 50 It can be expressed as a ratio. Pharmaceutical compositions exhibiting a large therapeutic index are preferred. The dosage may vary within this range depending on the dosage form used, the patient's sensitivity, and the route of administration.

[0115] Dosage and administration are adjusted to deliver a sufficient level of activator or to maintain the desired effect. Factors to consider include the severity of the disease state, the subject's overall health, age, weight and sex, diet, timing and frequency of administration, drug combinations, sensitivity to response, and tolerance / response to treatment. Long-acting pharmaceutical compositions may be administered every 3-4 days, weekly, or bi-weekly, depending on the half-life and clearance rate of the specific formulation.

[0116] Pharmaceutical compositions containing the active compound of this application may be produced in a generally known manner, for example, by conventional mixing, dissolution, granulation, sugar-coating, powdering, emulsification, encapsulation, or freeze-drying processes. The pharmaceutical compositions may be prepared in a conventional manner using one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers containing excipients and / or auxiliaries that facilitate the processing of the active compound into a pharmaceutically usable preparation. Of course, the appropriate preparation depends on the chosen route of administration.

[0117] Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions (if water-soluble) or dispersions and sterile powders for the immediate preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. For intravenous administration, suitable carriers include physiological saline, bacteriostatic water, Cremophor EL® (BASF, Parsippany, NJ) or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). In all cases, the composition must be sterile and fluid enough to allow easy passage through an injection needle. The composition must be stable under manufacturing and storage conditions and protected from contamination by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. Carriers may be solvents or dispersion media containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyols (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene glycol) and suitable mixtures thereof. Adequate fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of coatings such as lecithin, by maintaining the required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by the use of surfactants. Inhibition of microbial activity can be achieved by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, such as parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, ascorbic acid, and thimerosal. In many cases, it is preferable to include isotonic agents in the composition, such as sugars, polyalcohols such as mannitol and sorbitol, and sodium chloride. Long-term absorption of the injectable composition can be achieved by including absorption-delaying agents, such as aluminum monostearate and gelatin, in the composition.

[0118] Sterile injectable solutions can be prepared by incorporating the active compound in the required amount into a suitable solvent, along with one or a combination of the components listed above, as needed, and then sterilizing by filtration. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the active compound into a sterile vehicle containing a basic dispersion medium and other required components obtained from those listed above. In the case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, the preparation method is vacuum drying and freeze-drying, which yield a powder of the active component and any further desired components from a pre-sterilized filtered solution of the active component and any further desired components.

[0119] Oral compositions generally comprise an inert diluent or an edible, pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Oral compositions can be encapsulated in gelatin capsules or compressed into tablets. For oral therapeutic administration, the active compound can be incorporated with excipients and used in the form of tablets, lozenges, or capsules. Oral compositions can also be prepared using a liquid carrier for use as a mouthwash, where the compound in the liquid carrier is applied orally and either rinsed, spat out, or swallowed. Pharmaceutically compatible binders and / or adjuvant materials may be included as part of the composition. Tablets, pills, capsules, lozenges, etc. may contain any of the following ingredients or compounds of similar properties: binders such as microcrystalline cellulose, tragacanth gum, or gelatin; excipients such as starch or lactose; disintegrants such as alginic acid, Primogel, or corn starch; lubricants such as magnesium stearate or Sterotes; flow promoters such as colloidal silicon dioxide; sweeteners such as sucrose or saccharin; or flavorings such as peppermint, methyl salicylate, or orange flavor.

[0120] For administration by inhalation, the compound is delivered in the form of an aerosol spray from a suitable nebulizer, such as a pressurized container or dispenser containing a gas like carbon dioxide, or from a sprayer.

[0121] Systemic administration may also be by mucosal or transdermal means. For mucosal or transdermal administration, a penetrating agent suitable for the barrier to be penetrated is used in the formulation. Such penetrating agents are commonly known in the art and, for example, for mucosal administration, include surfactants, bile acids, and fusidic acid derivatives. Mucosal administration can be achieved through the use of nasal sprays or suppositories. For transdermal administration, the active compound is formulated in ointments, plasters, gels, or creams, as are commonly known in the art.

[0122] The active compound can be prepared with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier that can protect the compound from rapid removal from the body, such as a controlled-release formulation including implants and microencapsulated delivery systems. Biodegradable biocompatible polymers such as ethylene vinyl acetate, polyacid anhydride, polyglycolic acid, collagen, polyorthoesters, and polylactic acid can be used. Methods for preparing such formulations will be obvious to those skilled in the art. The materials can also be commercially available. Liposome suspensions (containing liposomes directed to infected cells using monoclonal antibodies against viral antigens) can also be used as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. These can be prepared according to methods known to those skilled in the art, for example, as described in U.S. Patent No. 4,522,811.

[0123] For ease of administration and uniformity of dosage, it is particularly advantageous to formulate oral or parenteral compositions in drug unit form. The drug unit form used herein represents a physically separated unit suitable as a unit dose for the target to be treated, and each unit contains a predetermined amount of the active compound calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in cooperation with the required pharmaceutical carrier. The specifications for the drug unit form in this disclosure depend directly on the inherent characteristics of the active compound and the specific therapeutic effect to be achieved.

[0124] In therapeutic applications, the dosage of a pharmaceutical composition used in accordance with this disclosure will vary depending on factors influencing the selected dosage, particularly the agonist, the age, weight, and clinical condition of the patient being treated, and the experience and judgment of the clinician or practitioner administering the treatment. Generally, the dosage should be sufficient to result in delayed tumor growth, preferably regression, and preferably complete regression of the cancer. Dosages can range from about 0.01 mg / kg / day to about 5,000 mg / kg / day. An effective dose of the drug is one that provides an objectively identifiable improvement that is noticeable to a clinician or other qualified observer. For example, tumor regression in a patient may be measured by reference to the diameter of the tumor. A decrease in tumor diameter indicates regression. Regression is also indicated by the absence of tumor recurrence after discontinuation of treatment. As used herein, the term “effective dosage” refers to the amount of the active compound required to produce the desired biological effect in a subject or cell.

[0125] Pharmaceutical compositions may be included in containers, packs, or dispensers along with instructions for administration.

[0126] The compound of this application may be administered topically, orally, nasally, percutaneously, into the lungs, by inhalation, buccally, sublingually, intraperitoneally, subcutaneously, intramuscularly, intravenously, rectally, intrapleurally, subarachnoidally, or parenterally. In one embodiment, the compound is administered orally. Those skilled in the art will recognize the advantages of certain routes of administration.

A sample (approximately 2 mg) was weighed into a 4 mL glass vial. The solvent was added to the vial in steps of 50 μL until the total volume reached 100 μL, and then in steps of 100 μL until the concentration was less than 1.0 mg / mL. The solution was thoroughly mixed after each addition by sonication for 2 minutes and vortex stirring for 1 minute. The addition of the solvent was stopped when the sample was dissolved or the concentration was less than 1.0 mg / mL. The amounts of solvent (V1 and V2) were recorded, and the approximate solubility was calculated.

[0165] Example 7 Polymorphic screening method ·Sludge Approximately 5–20 mg of compound A was suspended in 0.1–0.5 mL of solvent in a 1.5 or 3.0 mL glass vial. The suspension was stirred at 200 rpm at the target temperature (room temperature or 50°C). The solid for XRPD analysis was isolated by centrifugation at 14,000 rpm for 5 minutes at room temperature. If no solid or gel was obtained, the muddy substance was transferred to a fume hood for evaporation.

[0166] • Addition of reverse solvent A concentrated stock solution of compound A in a solvent was prepared. The solution was stirred, and the reverse solvent was rapidly added to induce precipitation. The solid for XRPD analysis was isolated by filtration or centrifugation. If no solid was obtained, the solution was transferred to a fume hood for evaporation.

[0167] Slow cooling A concentrated stock solution of compound A in a solvent was prepared. The suspension was heated to 50°C and maintained at 50°C for at least 30 minutes. The solution or suspension was then filtered at 50°C using a 0.45 micron PTFE filter, and the filtrate was collected in a clean vial. The solution was cooled to 5°C to induce precipitation. The solid for XRPD analysis was isolated by filtration or centrifugation. Samples that did not precipitate were cooled to -20°C to induce precipitation.

[0168] • Liquid vapor diffusion A concentrated stock solution of compound A in a solvent was prepared in a vial. This inner vial was placed inside a larger, sealed vial containing the reverse solvent. The solid for XRPD analysis was isolated by filtration or centrifugation.

[0169] • Solid vapor diffusion A sample of compound A (5–15 mg) was weighed into a small vial (e.g., 3 mL). This inner vial was placed inside a larger vial (e.g., 20 mL) containing 3–4 mL of volatile solvent. The outer vial was then sealed. This system was maintained at room temperature for 7 days, allowing the solvent vapor to interact with the solid. The resulting solid was isolated and analyzed by XRPD.

[0170] • Polymer-induced crystallization A sample of compound A (5–15 mg) was weighed into a glass vial. A predetermined amount of the selected solvent was then added to dissolve the sample. The corresponding polymer was then added to the vial, and the sample was stirred at room temperature for 7 days. The resulting solid was isolated and analyzed by XRPD.
