Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry and specifically relates to providing 3-[(benzo[d][1,3]dioxolan-4-yl)oxy]propylamine hydrochloride, its optical isomers and crystalline forms, and methods for preparation. [Background technology]

[0002] Depression is currently the most common mental illness affecting human mental and physical health. Currently, 3% to 5% of the world's population suffers from depression. By 2022, depression is projected to become the second leading cause of illness after heart disease.

[0003] Drug therapy is the primary means of treating depression. Common medications include tricyclic antidepressants such as imipramine, monoamine oxidase inhibitors such as moclobemide, selective 5-HT reuptake inhibitors such as fluoxetine, selective NE reuptake inhibitors such as reboxetine, and 5-HT / NE dual reuptake inhibitors such as duloxetine.

[0004] While many antidepressants are used clinically, some have low response rates, long onset times, and potential side effects. As a result, many patients have undergone various treatments without success and still require electroconvulsive therapy. Therefore, antidepressant development remains a hot spot in novel drug research. Patent application WO2016101898A discloses a 3-[(benzo[d][1,3]dioxolan-4-yl)-oxy]-3-arylpropylamine compound with antidepressant activity, whose specific structure is as follows:

[0005] [ka]

[0006] Further research indicates that (R)-N-methyl-3-phenyl-3-[(benzo[d][1,3]dioxolan-4-yl)oxy]propylamine hydrochloride possesses excellent antidepressant activity. The crystalline structure of the active pharmaceutical ingredient always affects the chemical stability of the drug, and differences in crystal form, preparation methods, and storage conditions can lead to changes in the crystalline structure of the compound, sometimes resulting in the formation of other crystalline forms. Generally, amorphous drug products lack a regular crystalline structure and always have other drawbacks such as poor product stability, difficulty in filtration, tendency to solidify, and poor fluidity. These differences tend to make it difficult to scale up production. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct diligent research to improve each property of the compound through crystalline form and to find new crystalline forms that have high crystalline purity and excellent chemical stability. [Overview of the Initiative]

[0153] The "ketones" described in this invention refer to compounds in which a carbonyl group (-C(O)-) is linked to two hydrocarbon groups. Depending on the difference in hydrocarbon groups in the molecule, ketones can be classified into aliphatic ketones, alicyclic ketones, aromatic ketones, saturated ketones, and unsaturated ketones. Specific examples include, but are not limited to, acetone, butanone (e.g., 2-butanone), pentanone (e.g., pentan-2-one or pentan-3-one), hexanone (e.g., hexane-2-one or hexane-3-one), acetophenone, methyl isobutyl ketone, or methylpyrrolidone.

[0157] The term "precipitating agent" in this invention refers to an "antisolvent" or "reverse solvent," and means that when isolating or removing a certain component, the substance is first dissolved in a suitable solvent, and then a solvent insoluble in the component to be isolated is added. The precipitating agent is co-soluble with the solvent that dissolves the compound shown in formula (I).

[0158] The above-mentioned good solvents are solvents that have good solubility for the compounds of this application, and poor solvents are solvents that have poor solubility or are insoluble for the compounds of this application.

[0160] The "X-ray powder diffraction pattern or XRPD" described in this invention refers to a set of X-ray powder diffraction patterns measured by satisfying Bragg's formula 2d sinθ=nλ (wherein λ is the wavelength of the X-ray, λ=1.54056 Å, and the diffraction order n is any positive integer, generally taking a first-order diffraction peak when n=1), when X-rays are incident on a certain atomic plane having a d-lattice spacing of a crystal or some crystalline sample at a graze angle θ (complementary angle of incidence, also called Bragg angle).

[0161] In this invention, "2θ or 2θ angle" refers to the diffraction angle, where θ is a Bragg angle in degrees or degrees, and the error range of 2θ is ±0.1 to ±0.5, preferably ±0.1 to ±0.3, more preferably ±0.2.

[0162] The "interplanar spacing or interplanar spacing (d value)" described in this invention refers to the interplanar spacing obtained by connecting two adjacent lattice points in a spatial lattice, selecting three non-parallel unit vectors a, b, and c, and dividing the lattice into parallel parallelepiped units. The spatial lattice is divided by the connecting lines of the determined parallelepiped units to obtain a set of linear lattices, which are called spatial lattices or crystal lattices. Lattices and crystal lattices reflect the periodicity of the crystal structure through geometric points and lines, respectively, and different crystal planes have different interplanar spacings (i.e., the distance between two adjacent parallel crystal planes), with units of Å or angstroms.

[0163] The “differential scanning calorimetry or DSC” described in this invention measures the transition temperature at which a crystal absorbs or releases heat due to a change in its crystal structure or melting. For the same crystalline form of the same compound, the error in thermal transition temperature and melting point in a continuous analysis may be within about 5°C, and is usually within about 3°C. When it is stated that a compound has a particular DSC peak or melting point, it refers to ±5°C of that DSC peak or melting point. “Basically” takes such temperature variations into account. DSC provides an auxiliary method for identifying different crystalline forms. Different crystalline forms can be identified by their different transition temperature characteristics. For mixtures, it should be noted that their DSC peak or melting point may vary over a wider range. Also, since substances undergo decomposition in the melting process, the melting temperature correlates with the heating rate.

[0164] The "FT-Raman spectrum" used in this invention is used to study the structure and chemical bonding of molecules and may also be used as a method for characterizing and identifying chemical species. In this invention, the FT-Raman spectrum is used to characterize molecular structure and crystal form. The error range of the FT-Raman peak position is ±2 cm. -1 That's fine.

[0165] In this invention, mental illness refers to a disorder that presents with varying degrees of impairment in mental activities such as cognition, emotion, will, and behavior as a clinical manifestation, due to brain dysfunction under the influence of various biological, psychological, and social environmental factors. Mental activities include cognitive activities such as sensation, perception, attention, memory, and thinking, as well as emotional and volitional activities. These activity processes are interconnected and work closely together to maintain the unity and completeness of mental activity. Mental illnesses are mainly divided into mild and severe mental illnesses. Common mild mental illnesses include obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression. Common severe mental illnesses include schizophrenia. Mild mental illnesses mainly manifest as emotional disorders such as anxiety and depression, and thought disorders such as obsessions, but the patient's cognitive, logical reasoning, and self-awareness are basically complete. On the other hand, early-stage patients with severe mental illnesses such as schizophrenia may show expressions such as anxiety and obsessions, but the cognitive and logical reasoning abilities of such patients become very weak, and their self-awareness is almost completely lost. Organic mental disorders or toxic mental disorders caused by brain lesions need to be distinguished from common functional mental disorders. Mild mental disorders include anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, and phobias. Severe mental disorders include schizophrenia. When brain function is impaired due to the effects of endogenous or exogenous harmful factors on the body, various mental disorders occur. When overall mental activity is significantly abnormal, or when the integrity and unity of mental activity are impaired, it is expressed as a mental disorder. When there is no severe or persistent disturbance of mental activity, and the main issue is a decline in mental capacity, it is expressed as a neurosis, and when the development of mental activity is inhibited, it is expressed as mental failure.

[0166] Depression is primarily characterized by low mood, loss of interest, pessimism, slow thinking, lack of initiative, self-blame and self-punishment, poor eating and sleeping habits, anxiety about having various illnesses, and general discomfort. In severe cases, suicidal thoughts and behaviors may occur.

[0167] The compound hydrochloride salts described in the present invention may contain one or more chiral centers and thereby exist in various isomeric forms, such as enantiomers and / or diastereomers. For example, the compound hydrochloride salts described herein may be in the form of individual enantiomers, diastereomers, or geometric isomers, or in the form of stereoisomerized mixtures, including racemic mixtures and mixtures rich in one or more stereoisomers. The isomers can be isolated from the mixture by methods known to those skilled in the art, including chiral high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the formation and crystallization of chiral salts, or preferably, the isomers may be prepared by asymmetric synthesis. For example, see Jacques et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981), Wilen et al., Tetrahedron 33:2725 (1977), Eliel, Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw-Hill, NY, 1962), and Wilen, Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions, page 268 (edited by E.L. Eliel, Univ. Of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, IN 1972). The present invention further covers the hydrochlorides of the compounds described herein in each isomeric form that does not essentially contain other isomers, and alternatively in the form of mixtures of multiple isomers.

[0168] As used herein, a pure enantiomerized compound essentially contains no other enantiomers or stereoisomers of the compound (i.e., it is enantiomerized). In other words, the "S" form of the compound essentially contains no "R" form of the compound, and is therefore enantiomerized in the "S" form.

[0169] Some of the compounds of the present invention have an asymmetric carbon atom (optical or chiral center) or a double bond and are enantiomers, racemates, diastereomers, tautomers, geometric isomers, or stereoisomers definable by absolute stereochemistry, e.g., (R)- or (S)-. The compounds of the present invention do not include compounds of the art that are known to be too unstable to be synthesized and / or isolated. The present invention is intended to include compounds in racemic and optically pure forms. Optically active (R)- and (S)- isomers can be prepared with chiral synthons or chiral reagents or resolved by common techniques.

[0170] As used herein, the term "isomer" refers to a compound having the same atomic number and type, and therefore the same molecular weight, but differing in the structural or stereochemical arrangement of the atoms.

[0171] As used herein, the term “tautomer” refers to one of two or more structural isomers that exist in equilibrium and can be readily converted from one isomer to another.

[0172] As will be apparent to those skilled in the art, some of the compounds of the present invention may exist in tautomeristic forms, and all such tautomeristic forms of the above compounds are within the scope of the present invention.

[0173] The term “treating / treatment” refers to the successful treatment or improvement of any injury, disease, lesion, or symptom of illness, and includes any objective or subjective parameters, such as the elimination, relief, or reduction of symptoms, or enabling the patient to tolerate the injury, lesion, or disease more effectively, slowing the rate of regression or deterioration, making the final outcome of degeneration less likely to result in frailty, or improving the patient’s physical or psychological health. Treatment or improvement of symptoms may be based on objective or subjective parameters, including the results of health examinations, neuropsychiatric tests, and / or psychiatric evaluations.

[0174] The term “treatment” and related expressions include the prevention of a lesion, disease, or disorder (for example, the prevention of the progression of one or more symptoms of a disease, disorder, or disorder as described herein).

[0175] An "effective dose" is a sufficient amount to achieve the specified purpose (for example, to achieve the effect of administration, treatment of a disease, reduction of enzyme activity, increase of enzyme activity, or reduction of one or more symptoms of a disease or illness).

[0176] An example of an "effective dose" is an amount sufficient to contribute to the treatment, prevention, or reduction of one or more symptoms of a disease, and may also be called a "therapeutic effective dose." The "preventive effective dose" of a drug is the amount of drug administered to a subject that, when administered, has the desired preventive effect, for example, prevents or delays the onset (or recurrence) of injury, disease, lesion, or illness, or reduces the likelihood of the onset (or recurrence) of injury, disease, lesion, or illness, or its symptoms. Complete preventive effect may not occur after a single dose, but may only occur after a series of doses. Therefore, the preventive effective dose may be administered in one or more doses. The appropriate dose depends on the therapeutic purpose and may be determined by the art by known techniques (see, for example, Lieberman, Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms (vols. 1-3, 1992), Lloyd, The Art, Science and Technology of Pharmaceutical Compounding (1999), Pickar, Dosage Calculations (1999), and Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 20th edition, 2003, edited by Gennaro, Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins).
