[0001] CRYSTALLINE FORMS OF TEAD INHIBITOR

[0002] Cross-Reference to Related Patent Application

[0003] This specification claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 593,253 (filed October 26 2023). The entire text of the above-referenced patent application is incorporated by reference into this specification.

[0004] Field

[0005] This specification relates to crystalline forms of 5-(((3S,5R)-5-hydroxytetrahydro-2H-pyran-3- yl)amino)-3-methyl-8-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one (Compound (I)), to pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in therapy. Compound (I) has been discovered to be an inhibitor of TEAD and consequently has potential utility as a medicine for the treatment of cancer.

[0006] Introduction

[0007] The Hippo pathway is a highly conserved signaling pathway that controls organ size and tissue maintenance through the regulation of gene expression programs involved in cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation (Dong et al., Cell 2007, 1120-33; Ma et al., Ann Rev Biochem 2018, 577- 604 and references therein). Hippo ultimately regulates the transcription coactivators Yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) which bind to DNA-bound Transcriptional Enhanced Associate Domain proteins (TEAD1-4) to form bipartite transcription complexes that activate TEAD-dependent gene expression. The core of the Hippo pathway consists of a tightly regulated kinase signaling cascade. When Hippo signaling is active, the kinases LATS1 / 2 phosphorylate YAP / TAZ which causes these proteins to be sequestered in the cytoplasm or degraded by the proteasome. When Hippo signaling is inactive, LATS1 / 2 are inactivated resulting in YAP / TAZ to be dephosphorylated and subsequently translocated into the nucleus to interact with and activate TEAD-dependent transcription (Meng et al., Genes&Dev 2016, 1-17).

[0008] Hippo signaling is a well-established tumor suppressor pathway and data from The Cancer Genome Atlas show that the Hippo pathway is one of eight signaling pathways that are frequently altered in human cancer (Sanchez-Vega et al., Cell 2018, 321-337). Both genetic and epigenetic alterations of Hippo components can result in aberrant activation of YAP / TAZ and TEAD-dependent transcription and have been implicated in several human malignancies (Wang et al., 2018, 1304-1317). NF2 (aka Merlin) is encoded by the neurofibromatosis type 2 gene and is a key upstream regulator of the Hippo core kinase cascade consisting of STE20-like protein kinase 1 (STK3, aka MST2, and STK4, aka MST1), the large tumor suppressors (LATS1 and LATS2), and adaptor proteins Salvador homolog 1 (SAV1) and MOB kinase activators (MOB1A / MOB1B) (Tapon et al., Cell 2002, 467-478). Loss of function mutations or deletions in pathway components have been reported in several cancer types including mesothelioma, breast, liver, lung, prostate, gastric, and colorectal tumors (Poma et al., Scientific Reports 2018, volume 8, Article number: 10623; Zancanato et al., Cancer Cell 2016, 783- 803 and references therein).

[0009] Because several Hippo pathway components are tumor suppressors where dysfunction results in aberrant TEAD-dependent transcription, targeting TEAD offers a potential opportunity for therapy.

[0010] 5-(((3S,5R)-5-hydroxytetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-yl)amino)-3-methyl-8-(4- (trifluoromethyl)phenyl)pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one,

[0011] (Compound (I)) is disclosed in PCT / EP2023 / 061101 as an inhibitor of TEAD, the contents of which are incorporated by reference. PCT / EP2023 / 061101 discloses that Compound (I) was isolated as a white solid. This solid was found to be crystalline Form A, as characterised herein.

[0012] In order to study the therapeutic potential of this compound it is desirable to have solid forms of the compound with suitable properties for pharmaceutical development. This application describes new crystalline forms of Compound (I) (Forms B and C).

[0013] In the formulation of drug substances, it is beneficial for the drug substance (active compound) to be in a form in which it can be conveniently handled and processed. The chemical stability and the physical stability of the active compound may be important factors in determining the suitability of a solid form for use in the development of pharmaceutical formulations. It is also beneficial for the active compound, and formulations containing it, to be capable of being effectively stored over appreciable periods of time, without exhibiting any significant change in the physico-chemical characteristics (e.g. chemical composition, density, hygroscopicity and solubility) of the active compound.

[0088] It is known that an X-ray powder diffraction pattern may be obtained which has one or more measurement errors depending on measurement conditions (such as equipment or machine used). In particular, it is generally known that intensities in an X-ray powder diffraction pattern may fluctuate depending on measurement conditions. Therefore it should be understood that the Compound (I) Form C of the present specification is not limited to the crystals that provide X-ray powder diffraction patterns identical to the X-ray powder diffraction pattern shown in Figure 7, and any crystals providing X-ray powder diffraction patterns substantially the same as those shown in Figure 7 fall within the scope of the present specification. A person skilled in the art of X-ray powder diffraction is able to judge the substantial identity of X-ray powder diffraction patterns. X-ray Powder Diffraction Analysis

[0089] The X-ray powder diffraction analysis was performed according to standard methods, which can be found in e.g. Kitaigorodsky, A.L (1973), Molecular Crystals and Molecules, Academic Press, New York; Bunn, C.W. (1948), Chemical Crystallography, Clarendon Press, London; or Klug, H.P. & Alexander, L.E. (1974), X-ray Diffraction Procedures, John Wiley & Sons, New York.

[0090] Persons skilled in the art of X-ray powder diffraction will realize that the relative intensity of peaks can be affected by, for example, grains above 30 microns in size and non-unitary aspect ratios, which may affect analysis of samples. The skilled person will also realize that the position of reflections can be affected by the precise height at which the sample sits in the diffractometer and the zero calibration of the diffractometer. The surface planarity of the sample may also have a small effect. Hence the diffraction pattern data presented are not to be taken as absolute values. (Jenkins, R & Snyder, R.L. 'Introduction to X-Ray Powder Diffractometry' John Wiley & Sons 1996; Bunn, C.W. (1948), Chemical Crystallography, Clarendon Press, London; Klug, H. P. & Alexander, L. E. (1974), X-Ray Diffraction Procedures).

[0091] Generally, a measurement error of a diffraction angle in an X-ray powder diffractogram is about 5% or less, in particular plus or minus 0.2° 2-theta, and such degree of a measurement error should be taken into account when considering the X-ray powder diffraction patterns in Figure 1, Figure 4 and Figure 7 and when reading Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3. Furthermore, it should be understood that intensities may fluctuate depending on experimental conditions and sample preparation (preferred orientation). Definition of relative intensity is described in Table 3.

[0092] X-ray powder diffraction data was measured with Corundum as an internal reference. The X-ray powder diffraction (referred to herein as XRPD) pattern was determined by mounting a sample on a zero background holder single silicon crystal and spreading out the sample into a thin layer.

[0093] The powder X-ray diffraction was recorded with a theta-two theta scan axis and in one dimensional scan with a Bruker D8 diffractometer (wavelength of X-rays 1.5418 A nickel-f iltered Cu Karadiation, 40 kV, 30 mA) equipped with D / Tex Ultra detector. Automatic variable anti scattering slits were used and the samples were rotated at 30 revolution per minute during measurement. Samples were scanned from 5 - 50° 2-theta using a 0.01° and l° / min step width and scan speed respectively.

[0094] The X-ray powder diffraction analysis was performed according to standard methods, which can be found in e.g. Kitaigorodsky, A.L (1973), Molecular Crystals and Molecules, Academic Press, New York; Bunn, C.W. (1948), Chemical Crystallography, Clarendon Press, London; or Klug, H.P. & Alexander, L.E. (1974), X-ray diffraction procedures for polycrystalline and amorphous materials, John Wiley, New York, London.

[0095] Table 1 Definition of relative intensity

[0096] * The relative intensities are derived from diffractograms measured with fixed slits

[0097] A person skilled in the art understands that the value or range of values observed in a particular compound's DSC Thermogram will show variation between batches of different purities. Therefore, whilst for one compound the range may be small, for others the range may be quite large. Generally, a measurement error of a diffraction angle in DSC thermal events is approximately plus or minus 5°C, and such degree of a measurement error should be taken into account when considering the DSC data included herein.

[0098] Crystallisation of the desired form in a process described herein may be aided by seeding with crystals of the desired form. The seed crystals may be obtained using one of the methods described in the Examples. The use of seeding is particularly advantageous in larger-scale manufacture.

[0099] In the preceding paragraphs defining the X-ray powder diffraction peaks for the crystalline form of Compound (I), the term "about=" is used in the expression" ... at about 2-theta = ... "to indicate that the precise position of peaks (i.e. the recited 2-theta angle values) should not be construed as being absolute values because, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the precise position of the peaks may vary slightly between one measurement apparatus and another, from one sample to another, or as a result of slight variations in measurement conditions utilised. It is also stated in the preceding paragraphs that the crystalline form of Compound (I) provide X-ray powder diffraction patterns 'substantially' the same as the X-ray powder diffraction patterns shown in Figure 1, Figure 4 and Figure 7 has substantially the most prominent peaks (2-theta angle values) shown in Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3 respectively. It is to be understood that the use of the term 'substantially' in this context is also intended to indicate that the 2-theta angle values of the X-ray powder diffraction patterns may vary slightly from one apparatus to another, from one sample to another, or as a result of slight variations in measurement conditions utilised, so the peak positions shown in the Figures or quoted in the Tables are again not to be construed as absolute values.

[0100] The person skilled in the art of X-ray powder diffraction will realize that the relative intensity of peaks can be affected by, for example, grains above approximately 30 micrometer in size and non-unitary aspect ratios which may affect analysis of samples. Furthermore, it should be understood that intensities may fluctuate depending on experimental conditions and sample preparation such as preferred orientation of the particles in the sample. The use of automatic or fixed divergence slits will also influence the relative intensity calculations. A person skilled in the art can handle such effects when comparing diffraction patterns.

[0101] The person skilled in the art of X-ray powder diffraction will also realize that due to difference in sample heights and errors in the calibration of the detector position, a small shift in the 2-theta positions could occur. Generally, a difference of ±0.1° from the given value are to be considered correct.
