Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically to a solid form of a pyrimidine derivative, its preparation method, and its application. Prior Technology
[0002] Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) belong to the serine / threonine kinase family. They exert their physiological functions by binding to their corresponding cyclins to form active dimer complexes, thereby inducing cell growth and proliferation. Currently, more than 20 CDKs have been identified, which are divided into two main categories based on their functions: CDKs that regulate the cell cycle and CDKs that regulate cellular transcription. CDKs 1-6 and 14-18 are involved in cell cycle regulation, while CDKs 7-13 and 19-20 are involved in transcriptional regulation.
[0003] CDK7 is an important member of the CDK family, with its main physiological functions being the regulation of cell cycle and transcription. In the cytosol, CDK7, along with cyclin H and Mat1, forms CAK (CDKs activating kinase), participating in cell cycle regulation through phosphorylation of CDK1 / 2 / 4 / 6. In the nucleus, CDK7, as a component of the universal transcription factor TFIIH (Transcription Factor II human), participates in gene transcription during the crucial initiation stage by phosphorylating the carboxy-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II. Because CDK7 possesses the dual functions of CAK and CTD phosphorylation, it plays a vital role in cell proliferation, cell cycle, and gene transcription.
[0004] Due to its unique dual role in transcription and cell cycle processes, CDK7 is widely expressed in various types of cancer, and downregulating CDK7 activity can lead to reduced cell proliferation. More importantly, it is now generally accepted that targeted transcription can selectively restrict the synthesis of mRNAs involved in tumor growth without disrupting the transcription of housekeeping genes. Therefore, CDK7 is considered a viable and promising target for cancer therapy, attracting widespread attention. Many small molecules, such as THZ1, THZ2, CT7001, and SY-1365, have shown excellent inhibitory effects on tumor growth in preclinical studies, particularly in unmet needs in major diseases such as small cell lung cancer, triple-negative breast cancer, and pancreatic cancer where effective treatments are currently lacking.

[0040] As used herein, when referring to a specific enumerated value, the term “about” means that the value can vary by no more than 1% from the enumerated values. For example, as used herein, the expression “about 100” includes all values between 99 and 101 (e.g., 99.1, 99.2, 99.3, 99.4, etc.).
[0041] As used herein, the terms “containing” or “including (comprise)” can be open-ended, semi-closed, or closed. In other words, the terms also include “consistently made of” or “made of”.
[0042] As used in this article, the term "n or more 2θ values selected from the following group" refers to any positive integer including n and greater than n (e.g., n, n+1, ...), where the upper limit Nup is the number of all 2θ peaks in the group. For example, "3 or more" includes not only the positive integers of the upper limit Nup (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, ...), but also ranges such as "4 or more", "5 or more", and "6 or more". [Compound]
[0043] Application CN113717157A discloses a series of compounds used as CDK7 kinase inhibitors, which exhibit very good CDK7 inhibitory activity (especially selective CDK7 inhibitory activity). This patent application discloses a compound with the structural formula shown in formula (Ⅰ). (I)
[0044] To further investigate the druggability of this compound and enable it to be used as a drug molecule in clinical trials, its salt form and solid form were studied. We screened and developed the salt form and crystal form of the compound shown in formula (I) to find stable and reliable salt and crystal forms to ensure the quality stability of the compound shown in formula (I). This will allow for better use in pharmaceuticals, drug formulations, and future clinical applications, achieving stable and controllable drug quality, better dissolution, and higher bioavailability. This will avoid safety issues such as side effects caused by toxic impurities due to drug instability, and will be of great significance for future advancements.
[0045] As confirmed below, the compound of formula (I) obtained in CN113717157A is amorphous. [Crystal Form]
[0046] Crystal form refers to the solid state of a drug. Drug crystal form research is essentially the study of the fundamental state of a drug. Only with a sufficient and comprehensive understanding of the crystal forms of chemical drugs can we find more suitable solid crystal forms for treating diseases. Drug crystal form can affect the physicochemical properties of drugs, directly influencing the basis for their clinical therapeutic effects. Different crystal forms of the same drug may exhibit significant differences in appearance, solubility, melting point, dissolution rate, and bioavailability, thus affecting the drug's stability, bioavailability, and efficacy. Therefore, studying the stable crystal form of a compound is of great significance.
[0047] The active ingredient of a drug generally exists in two or more crystalline forms, known as drug polymorphs. Different polymorphs have different solubilities and dissolution rates, affecting the drug's clinical therapeutic effect by causing changes in bioavailability in the body. Differences in drug polymorphs may affect its dissolution and absorption in the body, thus impacting bioavailability, clinical efficacy, and safety. Simultaneously, the stability of drug polymorphs is also crucial. To improve drug bioavailability, reduce toxicity, and enhance therapeutic efficacy, greater emphasis must be placed on drug polymorph stability. Stable polymorphs ensure the physicochemical stability of the drug dosage form during preparation and storage, maintaining good solubility and bioavailability, and ensuring equivalence between batches of the drug. The same drug often has multiple polymorphs; currently, the polymorph with better therapeutic effects and most suitable for clinical use is called the dominant drug polymorph.

[0088] Under anhydrous and oxygen-free conditions, 300 mg of compound int1, methyl fluorosulfonyl difluoroacetate (5.0 eq), and cuprous iodide (5.0 eq) were added to a 10 ml reaction tube. The mixture was heated to 100 °C and maintained at this temperature until the reaction was complete. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction was quenched with 1 M dilute hydrochloric acid. The mixture was extracted with water and ethyl acetate, and the organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate.

After dissolving, 2 ml of trifluoroacetic acid was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was concentrated to remove excess solvent, and then the pH was adjusted to alkaline. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, evaporated to dryness, and purified by a medium-pressure reversed-phase column (mobile phase: water, 1,4-dioxane, and methanol) to obtain 60 mg of compound (I) with a yield of 65.2%, HPLC purity of 95%, and LC-MS [M+1]: 503.1.

Most of the obtained products were adhesive residues; only with methanesulfonic acid (2.1 eq.) did crystals form, but the crystallinity was poor. Combining high-throughput salt formation and reactive salt formation 1H NMR results, it was found that the Free base of compound (I) reacted with all 14 acids mentioned above with chemical shifts, indicating that it could form salts with them.

Then add 1.05 eq. or 2.1 eq. of the selected acid, and react for a period of time under cyclic conditions of room temperature (16-22 °C) or high and low temperature (25--5 °C). Add the antisolvent to the unprecipitated sample and continue the reaction. The resulting suspension is filtered, dried and characterized. 2.4.1.1 Salt formation screening in Acetone

[0099] Approximately 50 mg of the free base (Lot# LHB-035A-132) of formula (Ⅰ) was weighed into a sample vial and dissolved in 0.5 mL of EtOAc. Then, 1.05 eq. of the selected acid was added. After reacting at 22 °C for 30 min, heptane was added to the unprecipitated sample and stirring continued. After reacting at 22 °C for 1 day, the resulting suspension was filtered, dried under vacuum at 50 °C for 3–4 h, and then characterized. As shown in Table 13 and Figure 12, only fumarate crystals with poor crystallinity were obtained.

[0100] Approximately 50 mg of the free base (Lot# LHB-035A-132) of formula (Ⅰ) was weighed into a sample vial and dissolved in 0.5 mL of MEK. Subsequently, 1.1 eq. or 2.1 eq. of the selected acid was added according to pKa data. After reacting at high and low temperatures (25–-5 °C) for 1 day, the antisolvent MTBE was added to the unprecipitated solution sample, and the high and low temperature cycling was continued for 3 days. The resulting suspension was filtered, dried under vacuum at 50 °C for 2–4 h, and then characterized. As shown in Table 14 and Figure 13, only crystalline salts of maleate and methanesulfonate were obtained.

[0101] Approximately 50 mg of the free base (Lot# LHB-035A-132) of formula (Ⅰ) was weighed into a sample vial and dissolved in 0.5 mL of ACN. Subsequently, 1.1 eq. or 2.1 eq. of the selected acid was added according to pKa data. After reacting at room temperature (16-18 °C) for 1 day, the suspension was filtered, dried under vacuum at 50 °C for 2-4 hours, and then characterized. MTBE was added to the unprecipitated sample, and the cap was slightly loosened before stirring for another 3 days. As shown in Table 15 and Figure 14, only maleate, methanesulfonate, and poorly crystallized fumarate crystalline salts were obtained.
[0102] Based solely on XRPD, it is difficult to distinguish that methanesulfonate (Lot# ET57141-16-P14) is a mixed crystal of Pattern 3 and Pattern 4. The comparison diagram of DSC is shown in Figure 15.

[0103] Based on the results of methanesulfonate and fumarate in Table 15, the preparation of fumarate and methanesulfonate was repeated under ACN / 50 °C conditions: approximately 50 mg of the free base (Lot# LHB-035A-132) of formula (Ⅰ) was weighed into a sample vial, and 1.0 mL of ACN was added to dissolve it. Subsequently, 1.1 eq. or 2.1 eq. of the selected acid was added at 50 °C according to pKa data. Samples were taken for analysis after reacting at 50 °C for 1 to 4 days. As shown in Table 16 and Figure 14, only methanesulfonate Pattern 3 was obtained, and fumarate crystals were not obtained.

[0104] Because only maleate (Form I), methanesulfonate (Pattern 1, Pattern 2, Pattern 3, Pattern 4), and fumarate (Pattern 1 with poor crystallinity) were obtained during the direct salt formation process, a method of first forming salts and then suspending them in different solvents for crystal transformation was adopted for screening. The specific method is as follows: 2.4.2.1 Crystal Transformation in IBA / Heptane Suspension
[0105] Lot# ET57141-13-P1, P2, P7, P8, P9, P10, P12, P15, and P16 were dried under N2 conditions, then IBA and Heptane were added, and the mixtures were suspended at room temperature (16-18 °C) for 1-4 days to undergo crystallization. The results are shown in Table 17 and Figure 16; no crystalline salts were obtained. Table 17 Crystallization of suspensions in IBA / Heptane batch number# ET57141- Ref.

[0106] Ten amorphous salt forms were attempted to be suspended in ACN / MTBE (1 / 4) at room temperature (~17 °C) for crystallization. Samples were taken after 3 days for XRPD analysis. The results are shown in Table 18 and Figure 17. No satisfactory crystalline salts were obtained.

[0107] Approximately 50 mg of the free base (Lot# LHB-035A-132) of formula (Ⅰ) was weighed into a sample vial and dissolved in 0.5 mL of MeOH. Then, 1.1 eq. or 2.1 eq. of the selected acid was added. After reacting at room temperature (~17 °C) for 2 h, the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation (water bath temperature of 30 °C). The resulting residues were all adhesives. 1 mL of Heptane was added to each adhesive, and after suspension and crystallization at room temperature (~17 °C) for 1 day, no solids appeared. After transfer to 50 °C and suspension for 4 days, the results are shown in Table 19 and Figure 18. Except for the peak (~18°) of the magnetic stir bar in the XRPD of some products, only the crystal salt of methanesulfonic acid (Pattern 5) was obtained.

XRPD (Figure 1) shows that the obtained maleate is a well-crystallized crystal. The DSC curve of maleate Form I (Figure 2) shows an endothermic peak at 182 °C, which should be a melting peak. TGA showed no significant weight loss before decomposition. The 1H NMR spectrum (Figure 19) shows that the free base reacts with maleic acid in an approximately 1:1 ratio to form a salt, with 0.48% MTBE and 0.43% Acetone solvent residues. Based on the above results, maleate Form I should be an amorphous form. DVS tests were performed on a small-scale batch of maleate Form I (Lot# ET57141-18-P1), and the DVS results are shown in Figure 20. The weight gain after water absorption at 80% RH was 0.39%, indicating slight hygroscopicity. The XRPD pattern after the DVS test did not change (Figure 21). Based on Figure 1, the data in Table A-1 is obtained. Table A-1 Peak position (°) strength 3.535 3.2 7.978 21.3 8.257 10.9 9.132 25.8 13.500 9.7 15.568 29.3 16.052 44.3 16.782 24.9 17.269 22.3 17.847 3.0 18.385 37.0 18.772 10.1 19.568 100.0 20.671 3.3 21.027 20.3 21.214 36.3 22.557 92.8 23.446 5.7 24.212 52.1 24.415 22.8 24.751 8.2 25.085 6.5 25.390 16.7 25.623 40.1 26.088 1.9 26.968 4.9 27.259 5.6 27.917 11.7 28.480 4.0 29.185 7.7 29.429 6.8 30.324 5.1 31.481 2.8 32.085 7.4 32.411 2.7 33.540 2.6 33.983 1.5 36.136 4.1 36.526 3.8 37.025 1.4 37.606 2.9 37.961 1.6 38.555 3.8 39.559 2.6
[0108] According to calculations, the maleate crystal form FormⅠ belongs to the triclinic crystal system, space group P1, and its unit cell parameters are: {a = 5.29010(10) Å, b = 11.4168(2) Å, c = 11.84730(10) Å, α = 111.1780(10)º, β = 99.4490(10)º, γ = 92.7800(10)º, V = 653.615(18) Å3, Z=1}. Its single crystal structure diagram is shown in Figure 3. 2.5.2 Characterization of mesylates
[0109] Methanesulfonate patterns 1-5 were obtained during the experiment and were characterized. As shown in Table 20, each pattern showed partial weight loss before decomposition, so each pattern was subjected to heat treatment experiments. Table 20 Characterization results of various crystal forms of methanesulfonate Pattern Salt formation ratio (Free base / acid) DSC, endo Onset / peak(o C), ΔH(J / g) TGA Wt loss% / @T (o C) 1H NMR Lot# Pattern 1 ~1:1.5 75 (13); 170 (53) 0.3% / 25-90 °C; 7.5% / 105-195 °C 6.99% MTBE ET57141-3-P8 Pattern 2 ~1:2 99.5 (59); 183 (71) 2.2% / 25-65 °C Suspected 0.26% DMSO solvent residue ET57141-13-P13 Pattern 3 ~1:2 82 (46); 171 (50); 2.2% / 21-120 °C 0.02% ACN ET57141-23-P2 Pattern 4 ~1:2 96 (46); 181 (58) 2.9% / 21-75 °C 0.11% MTBE ET57141-19-P1 Pattern 5 ~1:2.36 90 (37); 132 (8); 176 (9) 3.9% / 23-150 °C 0.22% Heptane ET57141-22-P13 Note: DMSO is suspected to have been adsorbed during the drying process. 2.5.2.1 Characterization of Methanesulfonate Pattern 1
[0110] As shown in the XRPD spectrum (Figure 22), methanesulfonate Pattern 1 is a poorly crystallized crystal. The DSC curve (Figure 23) shows two endothermic peaks at 75 °C and 170 °C. Correspondingly, the TGA curve shows two weight loss segments at 25-90 °C and 105-195 °C, with losses of 0.3% and 7.5%, respectively. The 1H NMR results (Figure 24) indicate that the free base forms a salt with methanesulfonic acid at a ratio of approximately 1:1.5, with 6.99% MTBE remaining. Heating methanesulfonate Pattern 1 to 170 °C using TGA and immediately characterizing it reveals that the MTBE content decreases from 6.99% to 0.41% (Figure 26), and the crystals transform into an amorphous form (Figure 25). Based on the above, methanesulfonate Pattern 1 is inferred to be a poorly crystallized MTBE (~0.5 mol) solvate. 2.5.2.2 Characterization of mesylate pattern 2
[0111] The XRPD spectrum (Figure 27) shows that methanesulfonate Pattern 2 is a moderately crystalline crystal. The DSC curve (Figure 28) shows two endothermic peaks at 100 °C and 183 °C, and the TGA curve shows a 2.2% weight loss between 25-65 °C. The 1H NMR results (Figure 29) indicate that the free base reacts with methanesulfonic acid in a ratio of approximately 1:2 to form a salt, and a suspected 0.26% DMSO solvent residue was found, possibly due to adsorption during the drying process. Based on these results, it is inferred that methanesulfonate Pattern 2 is likely a hydrate (~0.87 mol water). It is named methanesulfonate Form I.
[0112] Methanesulfonate Pattern 2 (Form I) was heated to 120 °C using DSC and characterized immediately. After dehydration upon heating, Pattern 2 quickly reabsorbed water, transforming into methanesulfonate Pattern 4 (Figures 30-31). Furthermore, repeated attempts to prepare methanesulfonate Pattern 2 failed, and methanesulfonate Pattern 4 was actually obtained. Therefore, it is inferred that methanesulfonate Pattern 2 (Form I) is a thermodynamically unstable crystalline form. 2.5.2.3 Characterization of Methanesulfonate Pattern 3
[0113] The XRPD spectrum (Figure 32) shows that methanesulfonate Pattern 3 is a moderately crystalline crystal. The DSC curve (Figure 33) shows two endothermic peaks at 82 °C and 171 °C, and the TGA curve shows a 2.2% weight loss between 21 and 120 °C. The 1H NMR results (Figure 34) indicate that the free base forms a salt with methanesulfonic acid in a ratio of approximately 1:2, containing 0.02% ACN solvent residue. Based on these results, it is inferred that methanesulfonate Pattern 3 is likely a hydrate (~0.86 mol water), and it is named methanesulfonate Form II.
[0114] The methanesulfonate pattern 3 (Form II) was heated to 128 °C by DSC and immediately characterized: after heating and dehydration, the pattern 3 (Form II) quickly reabsorbed water, and the crystal form did not change (Figures 35-36).
[0115] DVS testing was performed on the scaled-up batch of methanesulfonate Pattern 3 (Form II, ET57141-27-P1), and the results are shown in Figure 37: Methanesulfonate Pattern 3 (Form II) exhibits hygroscopicity, showing a 6.72% weight gain upon water absorption at 80% RH. The XRPD pattern changed after DVS testing, indicating a new crystal form, which was named methanesulfonate Pattern 6 (Figure 38). 2.5.2.4 Characterization of Methanesulfonate Pattern 4
[0116] Methanesulfonate Pattern 4 was obtained during a small-scale amplification process. The XRPD spectrum (Figure 39) shows that Methanesulfonate Pattern 4 is a moderately crystalline crystal. The DSC curve (Figure 40) shows two endothermic peaks at 96 °C and 181 °C, and the TGA curve shows a weight loss of 2.9% between 21 and 75 °C. The 1H NMR results (Figure 41) indicate that the free base reacts with methanesulfonic acid in a ratio of approximately 1:2 to form a salt, containing 0.11% MTBE solvent residue. Based on these results, it is inferred that Methanesulfonate Pattern 4 is likely a hydrate (~1.15 mol of water), and it is named Methanesulfonate Form III.
[0117] Methanesulfonate Pattern 4 (Form III) was heated to 135 °C by DSC and characterized immediately: Pattern 4 quickly reabsorbed water after heating and dehydration, and the crystal form did not change (Figures 42-43).
[0118] DVS tests were performed on methanesulfonate Pattern 4 (Form III). The test results are shown in Figure 44: the weight gain after water absorption at 80% RH was 6.78%, indicating that methanesulfonate Pattern 4 (Form III) is hygroscopic. After the DVS test, the XRPD pattern changed to a mixed crystal of Pattern 4 + Pattern 2 (Figure 45). 2.5.2.5 Characterization of Methanesulfonate Pattern 5
[0119] As shown in the XRPD spectrum (Figure 46), methanesulfonate Pattern 5 is a poorly crystallized crystal. The DSC curve (Figure 47) shows three endothermic peaks at 90 °C, 132 °C, and 176 °C, and TGA shows a slow weight loss of 3.9% between 23 and 150 °C. ¹H NMR results (Figure 48) indicate that the free base forms a salt with methanesulfonic acid at a ratio of approximately 1:2.36, containing 0.22% heptane solvent residue. Characterization of methanesulfonate Pattern 5 by heating to 125 °C and 150 °C using DSC immediately reveals that Pattern 5 transforms into Pattern 4, but with poor crystallinity (Figures 49-50). Furthermore, methanesulfonate Pattern 5 is found to be unstable during storage, transforming into a mixed crystal of Pattern 4 and Pattern 5 after 7 days of storage at 2–8 °C (Figure 51). Based on these results, it is inferred that methanesulfonate Pattern 5 may be an unstable hydrate. 2.5.2.6 Characterization of Methanesulfonate Pattern 6
[0120] Methanesulfonate Pattern 6 was obtained from methanesulfonate Pattern 3 (Form II) after DVS testing. The XRPD spectrum (Figure 52) shows that methanesulfonate Pattern 6 is a moderately crystalline crystal. The DSC curve (Figure 53) shows three endothermic peaks at 71 °C, 129 °C, and 186 °C. TGA shows two weight loss segments at 23-55 °C and 55-110 °C, with losses of 1.6% and 3.9%, respectively. Combined with the characterization results of Pattern 3, methanesulfonate Pattern 6 is likely a hydrate (~2.25 mol H₂O). Immediately after heating methanesulfonate Pattern 6 to 55 °C with TGA or to 85 °C with DSC, XRPD testing was performed, and the crystal form remained unchanged. Immediately after dehydration by heating to 115 °C with TGA, XRPD testing was performed, and the heated sample quickly absorbed water, transforming into methanesulfonate Pattern 4 (Figure 54). 2.5.3 Characterization of fumarate
[0121] The obtained fumarate pattern 1 (Lot# ET57141-16-P5) was characterized. XRPD spectra (Figure 55) showed that the obtained fumarate pattern 1 was a poorly crystallized crystal. As shown in Figure 56, fumarate pattern 1 exhibited an endothermic peak at 197 °C, which should be a melting peak. TGA showed a weight loss of 0.75% between 25 and 120 °C. ¹H NMR spectra (Figure 57) showed that the free base formed a salt with fumaric acid at a ratio of approximately 1:0.6, with 1.23% ACN solvent residue. The poor crystallinity of fumarate pattern 1 and the inability to reproduce the preparation suggest that complete salt formation was not possible. 2.5.4 Summary of the obtained crystalline salts
[0122] A total of eight XRPD spectra of the three salts were found. A summary table is shown in Table 21. Table 21 Summary of the characterization results of the obtained crystalline salts Salt Form Pattern Salt formation ratio (Base / Acid) DSC, endo peak (°C), ΔH (J / g) TGA Wt loss% / @T (oC) Remark Lot# Maleate Form I Pattern 1 ~1:1 182 (153) No significant weight loss before decomposition Crystal-free type ET57141-3-P4 Methanesulfonates / Pattern 1 ~1:1.5 75 (13); 170 (53) 0.3% / 25-90 °C; 7.5% / 105-195 °C MTBE (~0.5 mol) Suspected of not being fully salted ET57141-3-P8 Form I Pattern 2 ~1:2 99.5 (59); 183 (71) 2.2% / 25-65 °C It may be a hydrate (~0.87 mol water), but the preparation could not be repeated.

[0123] Based on solid-state characterization results, 500-1000 mg of maleate Form I, methanesulfonate Form II, and Form III were prepared for comprehensive characterization, as well as solubility and stability testing of the dominant salt forms. Preparation conditions and characterization results are as follows: 2.6.1 Maleate Form I
[0124] 501.65 mg of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (Lot# LHB-035A-132) was weighed and dissolved in 5 mL (10 V) MEK solution. Then, 127.87 mg (1.1 eq.) of maleic acid was added, and the mixture was reacted at room temperature (16-18 °C) for ~3 h. No solid precipitate was observed. After adding 5 mg of maleate Form I crystals (Lot# ET57141-3-P4) as seed crystals, the mixture was reacted under high and low temperature cycling for 1 day, filtered, and then vacuum dried at 50 °C for 4 hours for characterization. High and low temperature cycling method: 1) Maintain a constant temperature of -5 ℃ for 4 hours; 2) Increase the temperature to 25 ℃ at a rate of 0.2 ℃ / min; 3) Maintain a constant temperature of 25 ℃ for 4 hours; 4) Decrease the temperature to -5 ℃ at a rate of 0.2 ℃ / min; repeat the above method.
[0125] 377.70 mg of maleate Form I (ET57141-18-P1) was successfully prepared as an off-white solid with a yield of 61%. Specific information and characterization results are shown in Table 22 and Figures 58-63. Table 22 Preparation and characterization results of maleate Form I (ET57141-18-P1) batch number# XRPD DSC, endo Onset / peak (oC), ΔH (J / g) TGA Wt loss% / @T (oC) 1H NMR PLM DVS Weight gain %, @80%RH ET57141-18-P1 Maleate Form I 175 / 183 (139.9) 0.9% / 23-120 °C ~1:1 salt 0.29% MEK Irregularly shaped small crystals 0.39%
[0126] The yield of maleate Form I prepared under the above conditions was low, only 61%. Therefore, optimization of the preparation conditions for maleate was attempted. Specific information is shown in Table 23. Table 23 Optimization Experiment and Results of Preparation Conditions for Form I Maleate batch number# ET57141- Experimental process result 25-P1 1) At room temperature (~16 °C), 49.99 mg of free base was dissolved in 0.5 mL (10 V) of MEK, followed by the addition of 1.1 eq. of maleic acid. 2) After reacting at room temperature (~16 °C) for 2 h without any solid precipitation, 2 mL of MTBE was added, and an adhesive substance immediately precipitated. 3) Continue stirring at room temperature (~16 °C) for 1 day. Adhesive + Solid 25-P2 1) At room temperature (~16 °C), 50.92 mg of free base was dissolved in 0.5 ml (10 V) of MEK, followed by the addition of 1.1 eq. of maleic acid. 2) After reacting at room temperature (~16 °C) for 2 h without any solid precipitation, 1.61 mg of maleate Form I (Lot# ET57141-18-P1) seed crystals were added, and solid gradually precipitated. 3) Two hours after adding seed crystals, add 2 mL (10 V) MTBE and continue the reaction for 1 day. 4) Filter, dry and characterize. Maleate Form I Yield: [83.9%] 26-P1 1) At room temperature (~16 °C), 1000.21 mg of free base was dissolved in 10 mL (10 V) of MEK, followed by the addition of 1.1 eq. of maleic acid. 2) After reacting at room temperature (~16 °C) for 2 h without any solid precipitation, 8.66 mg of maleate Form I (Lot# ET57141-18-P1) seed crystals were added, and solid gradually precipitated. 3) After adding seed crystals for 3 hours, add 20 mL (10 V) MTBE and continue the reaction for 1 day. 4) Filter, dry and characterize. Maleate Form I Yield: [82.3%] 2.6.2 Form II Methanesulfonate
[0127] 799.88 mg of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (Lot# LHB-035A-132) was weighed and dissolved in 16 mL (20 V) ACN. Then, 2.1 eq. (2.26 mL, ACN diluted 10 times) of methanesulfonic acid was added. The mixture was reacted at 50 °C for 1 day and then filtered. The resulting sample was then vacuum dried at 50 °C for 6 hours for characterization.
[0128] 817.2 mg of methanesulfonate Form II (Pattern 3, ET57141-27-P1) was successfully prepared as a yellow solid with a yield of 73.9%. Table 24 Preparation and characterization results of methanesulfonate Form II (ET57141-27-P1) batch number# XRPD DSC, endo Onset / peak (oC), ΔH (J / g) TGA Wt loss% / @T (oC) 1H NMR DVS Weight gain %, @80%RH ET57141-27-P1 Form II mesylate 32 / 87 (52); 148 / 170 (41) 2.6% / 21-120 °C ~1:1 salt 0.13% ACN 6.72%, hygroscopic After DVS, it transitioned to Pattern 6. 2.6.3 Form III Methanesulfonate
[0129] Initially, the aim was to prepare methanesulfonate Form I (Pattern 2) on a small scale according to the method described in Lot# ET57141-13-P13. However, this was unsuccessful, and a new crystal form of methanesulfonate, Form III (Pattern 4), was ultimately obtained. The specific experimental methods are as follows:
[0130] 503.08 mg of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (Lot# LHB-035A-132) was weighed and added to a 25 mL reactor. It was dissolved in 5 mL (10 V) MEK at -5 ℃, followed by the addition of 2.1 eq. (1.04 mL, MEK diluted to 2 mol / L) of methanesulfonic acid. The reaction was carried out under temperature cycling conditions for 1 day and 2 days. Samples were taken for testing, revealing that the resulting product was a new crystalline form, Pattern 4, with low crystallinity and a relatively viscous consistency. The product quickly absorbed moisture and hardened after filtration. Therefore, a small amount of the suspension (Lot# ET57141-19-P1) was tested to optimize the product by adding a poor solvent. The optimized batches were Lot# ET57141-19-P2 and 19-P3, details of which are shown in Table 25.
[0131] Temperature cycling method: 1) Maintain temperature at -5 ℃ for 4 hours; 2) Increase temperature to 25 ℃ at 0.2 ℃ / min; 3) Maintain temperature at 25 ℃ for 4 hours; 4) Decrease temperature to -5 ℃ at 0.2 ℃ / min; repeat the above method. Table 25 Optimization Experiment and Results of Methanesulfonate Preparation Conditions batch number# Vol (suspension-) ET57141-19-P1) antisolvent temperature time result Crystal form 1H NMR ET57141-19-P2 0.3 mL + 0.6 MTBE RT (~17 oC) 2 h Form III 0.15% MTBE ET57141-19-P3 0.3 mL + 0.6 Heptane RT (~17 oC) 2 h Form III 0.17% Heptane
[0132] Form III methanesulfonate was obtained in good condition by adding an antisolvent. Considering factors such as the product state, solvent residue, and crystallinity, the ET57141-19-P1 batch was prepared using the antisolvent MTBE method. Samples were taken and analyzed during the MTBE addition process. The results are shown in Figure 72. Initially, after 2 hours of antisolvent addition, the product was Form I methanesulfonate (Pattern 2), but after 7.5 hours, it eventually transformed into Form III methanesulfonate (Pattern 4). Therefore, it is inferred that Form I methanesulfonate may be a thermodynamically unstable crystalline form.
[0133] After adding the antisolvent MTBE and continuing temperature cycling for 1 day, the sample was filtered and dried under vacuum at 50 °C for approximately 6.5 hours for characterization. 530.25 mg of methanesulfonate Form III (ET57141-19-P1), a yellow solid, was prepared in 85% yield. Specific information and characterization results are shown in Table 26 and Figure 72.

[Example] [3] [Maleate crystal form] [Form] [Preparation of I] 3.1 Characterization of the active pharmaceutical ingredient shown in formula (II)
[0134] The materials manufactured by Wuhan WuXi AppTec New Drug Development Co., Ltd. were comprehensively characterized, and the results are summarized in Table 27. XRPD (Figure 77) and PLM (Figure 78) spectra showed that the received active pharmaceutical ingredient compound (Lot# EW34502-101-D-P5) of formula (II) had the same crystal form as the maleate Form I found in the salt type screening, and was an irregularly shaped crystal with good crystallinity. The DSC curve showed an endothermic peak at 175 °C, and the TGA curve showed a weight loss of 2.0% at 100-170 °C (Figure 79). 1H-NMR (Figure 80) detected 0.41% EtOAc solvent residue.

[0136] Based on the visual solubility results of the active pharmaceutical ingredient shown in Formula (II), suspension and crystallization were carried out in the selected solvents at 25 °C and 50 °C, respectively.
[0137] Approximately 30 mg of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (Lot# EW34502-101-D-P5) as shown in formula (II) was weighed into a sample vial, and 0.5 mL of the selected solvent was added. The resulting suspension was crystallized at 25 °C for 3 days or at 50 °C for 1 day, then filtered, dried, and characterized. The results are shown in Tables 29-30 and Figures 82-85. No new crystal form was obtained through this experiment.

Samples were taken on 3 days and 7 days for HPLC and XRPD detection.
[0153] Stability studies have shown that: 1) The crystal form of maleate did not change under the above five conditions, but the impurity content (RRT=1.29, MS+=601.3) increased under the conditions of 60 ℃ and 80 ℃. 2) Methanesulfonate Form II turns into a yellow oily substance under 25 ℃ / 90±5%RH (3 d, 7 d); under 25 ℃ / 60%RH and 40 ℃ / 75%RH conditions, it crystallizes into methanesulfonate Form III after 3 days and into methanesulfonate Pattern 6 after 7 days. 3) Form III methanesulfonate turned into a yellow oily substance under the conditions of 25 ℃ / 90±5%RH (3 d, 7 d); the crystal form did not change under the other four conditions.

[0154] Based on solid-state characterization, grinding, tableting, and stability results, the solubility of maleate Form I in water and biological solvents was determined only at 37°C, with an initial concentration of 5 mg / mL.
[0155] The specific procedure was as follows: ~15 mg of maleate Form I was weighed and added to 3 mL of SGF, FaSSIF, FeSSIF, and H2O, respectively. The resulting sample was stirred at 37 ℃ in the dark for 24 h. Samples were taken for analysis at 0.5 h, 2 h, and 24 h: the sample was drawn up with a syringe, filtered through a filter membrane, the first two drops were discarded, and a portion of the filtrate was diluted and subjected to HPLC analysis. Residual solids in the filter membrane were detected by XRPD. Three replicates were prepared for each sample.
[0156] Maleate Form I exhibits high solubility in SGF and H2O, both >5 mg / mL (24 h). It transforms into an adhesive in FaSSIF and FeSSIF. The results are summarized in Table 43. Table 43 Solubility test results of maleate Form I in biological solvents and water medium 0.5 h 2 h 24 h state Solubility (mg / mL) state Solubility (mg / mL) state Solubility (mg / mL) SGF Dissolve >5.02 Dissolve >5.02 Dissolve >5.02 FeSSIF Adhesive 2.85 Adhesive 3.07 Adhesive 2.94 FaSSIF Adhesive 1.87 Adhesive 2.38 Adhesive 1.57 H2O Slightly cloudy 4.58 Dissolve >5.01 Dissolve >5.01 (a) The above values are the mean of the three parallel experiments. [Test Example] [5] [Maleate crystal form] [Form] [Evaluation of Hygroscopicity of Part I] []

The hygroscopicity evaluation results showed that the maleate crystal form Form I sample had a weight gain of 0.39% upon absorbing water at 80% RH, indicating slight hygroscopicity. [Test Example] [6] [Maleate crystal form] [Form] [I. Pharmacokinetic Determination of Amorphous Maleate Samples]
[0158] The maleate crystal form (Form I) and the amorphous maleate sample of compound (I) were subjected to in vivo drug metabolism experiments in rats. 1. Drug preparation
[0159] Accurately weigh approximately 10 mg of the sample to be tested, add 10% of the converted total volume of DMSO to dissolve it, and then slowly add 90% of the total volume of 0.5% MC solvent while stirring. Sonicate and vortex to mix thoroughly to obtain a solution of the preparation that is considered to be homogeneous, with a concentration of 1 mg / mL. Prepare fresh immediately before use. Pipe 0.2 mL of the sample into a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube and store at -80°C for analysis of the concentration of the drug solution. 2. Animal preparation
[0160] Animals were housed in rat cages and fasted for at least 10 hours starting the day before the experiment, but water was allowed. On the day of the experiment, each animal was weighed and marked on its tail. Blank blood samples were collected before drug administration. Blood was collected via tail vein. 3. Administration Route of administration: Oral administration (po) Dosage concentration: 1 mg / ml Dosage: 10 mg / kg Dosage volume: 10 mL / kg
[0161] Procedure: Hold the rat upright with your left hand wearing a bite-proof glove, insert the gavage needle into the throat through the mouth, and insert the needle when you feel no obvious resistance. Then inject the drug into the stomach. 4. Sample collection
[0162] Whole blood (0.1-0.2 ml) was collected from test animals at 0.5 h, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 8 h, 12 h, and 24 h after drug administration. The samples were placed in EDTA-Na2 anticoagulant tubes, inverted 3-4 times to mix, and centrifuged at 4°C, 2000 g for 5 min to separate the supernatant plasma. The plasma was promptly transferred to -80°C for storage until analysis. Blood was collected via tail vein. 5. Sample Analysis and Data Processing 5.1 Sample Analysis
[0163] A quantitative detection method for the analyte was established using Shimadzu liquid chromatography and Triple Quad™ 6500+AB mass spectrometry. The concentration of the parent drug in plasma was analyzed. The analytical results were controlled for variation using quality control samples, with the accuracy of the quality control samples expected to be between 80% and 120%. 5.2 Data Processing
[0164] The main pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using a non-compartmental model in the Winnonlin Phoenix software. These parameters included the area under the curve (AUC(0-t) and AUC(0-∞)), elimination half-life (T1 / 2), maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), and time to reach maximum plasma concentration (Tmax).
[0165] The pharmacokinetic data of the test samples obtained through the above tests are shown in Table 44.

[0172] In summary, this invention employed various pharmaceutically acceptable acid pairs with amorphous free bases of compound (I) for salt form screening. Multiple methods, including slow evaporation, dissolution crystallization, and suspension-to-crystallization, were used to obtain eight XRPD spectra for three salts: maleate (1), methanesulfonate (6), and fumarate (1). Anhydrous maleate (form I) and hydrated methanesulfonate (forms II and III) were the dominant crystal forms. Based on the physicochemical property evaluation results of the salt form screening study, anhydrous maleate (form I) exhibited better solid-state properties, solubility, and crystal form reproducibility; therefore, maleate was selected for further crystal form screening.
[0173] The inventors investigated the solid morphology of maleate salts of compound (I) and screened for polymorphs of maleate salts of compound (I) in 14 solvent systems. Experiments were conducted using methods such as suspension crystallization (50℃ / 25℃), antisolvent precipitation, cooling crystallization, evaporation crystallization, and high and low temperature cycling. No new crystal forms were found except for maleate salt crystal form Form I.
[0174] To further investigate the potential crystal forms of maleate of formula (I), an amorphous form of maleate of formula (I) was prepared by dry grinding and experiments were conducted, but no new crystal forms were found.
[0175] In summary, the stable crystal form of compound (Ⅰ) is maleate crystal form Form I.
[0176] Therefore, maleate Form I has good crystallinity, good solubility and slight hygroscopicity (0.39% / 80% RH), and is available in most solvents, so maleate Form I has relevant properties that are acceptable for further development.
