[0002] The present disclosure provides solid forms of a GABAA receptor modulator and methods of its therapeutic use. 3. BACKGROUND
[0003] Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) has been identified as a major inhibitory neurotransmitter, and agents that modulate GABAergic neurotransmission are used extensively in the treatment of conditions such as epilepsy, anxiety, and depression. Two families of GABA receptor have been described, termed GABAA and GABAB.
[0004] There is a continuing interest in finding new compounds that interact with GABAA receptors, and particularly for compounds that have a reduced propensity for causing the adverse events such as drowsiness that are associated with the currently available GABAA receptor modulators such as benzodiazepines.
[0005] For the production of a drug substance intended for use in humans, procedures need to be in place that can control the levels of impurities and ensure that API products are produced, which consistently meet their predetermined specifications. Thus, a need exists for a process to prepare drug compounds suitable for human use, particularly on a commercial scale, that is, inter alia, safe, scalable, efficient, economically viable, and / or having other desirable properties. Among other entities, provided herein are solid forms and pharmaceutical compositions comprising such solid forms to address these needs and provide exemplary advantages. 4. SUMMARY

[0037] Unless otherwise stated, the following terms used in this application, including the specification and claims, have the definitions given below.
[0038] All publications, patents and patent applications cited herein, whether supra or infra, are incorporated by reference in their entirety. NAI-1538907928v1 7Jones Day Docket No.13371-344-228
[0039] In some embodiments, chemical structures are disclosed with a corresponding chemical name. In case of conflict, the chemical structure controls the meaning, rather than the name.
[0040] As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, the term “about” when used in connection with doses, amounts, or weight percent of ingredients of a composition or a dosage form, mean a dose, amount, or weight percent that is recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art to provide a pharmacological effect equivalent to that obtained from the specified dose, amount, or weight percent. In certain embodiments, the term “about” contemplates a dose, amount, or weight percent within 10%, such as within 5% of the specified dose, amount, or weight percent.
[0041] Analytical Methods
[0042] Solid forms may exhibit distinct physical characterization data that are unique to a particular solid form, such as the crystal forms described herein. These characterization data may be obtained by various techniques known to those skilled in the art. The data obtained by analyzing a sample of a solid via these techniques may be used to identify a particular solid form, because different solid forms, such as different crystal forms, will provide different diffraction patterns when analyzed by XRPD, the particular methods of which are described in greater detail in Section 6 (Examples), and in many cases will also provide different results when analyzed by DSC or TGA. One skilled in the art appreciates that these analyses are subject to experimental error, and that, when comparing, for example, two XRPD patterns, the patterns can be assigned to the same solid form even if one or more, and in some cases all, of the peaks in the pattern vary within the experimental error. Thus, as an example, values of degrees 2θ derived from XRPD, even when presented as exact numbers, should therefore be understood as encompassing those deviations from the presented values that would be considered to be within experimental error. In some embodiments, the value of XRPD peak position may vary by up to ± 0.5 degrees 2θ while still describing the particular XRPD peak, due to, for example, experimental error. In some embodiments, the value of XRPD peak position may vary by up to ± 0.2 degrees 2θ while still describing the particular XRPD peak due to, for example, experimental error. In some embodiments, the value of XRPD peak position may vary by up to ± 0.1 degrees 2θ due to, for example, experimental error. In some embodiment, the value of XRPD peak position may vary by up to ± 0.05 degrees 2θ due to, for example, experimental error. NAI-1538907928v1 8Jones Day Docket No.13371-344-228
[0043] Unless otherwise indicated, the methods disclosed in the examples were used to characterize the various solid forms disclosed herein.
[0044] The disclosure can be understood more fully by reference to the following detailed description and illustrative examples, which are intended to exemplify non-limiting embodiments. 6.1 Solid Forms of Compound (I)
[0045] Solid forms of Compound (I), which has a chemical name of 7-ethyl-4-(4'- (ethylsulfonyl)-6-fluoro-2'-methoxy-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-yl)-7H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridazine, include crystalline solids and amorphous solids. Solid forms may be crystalline, amorphous, or mixtures of crystalline and amorphous forms. The crystal forms described herein, therefore, may have varying degrees of crystallinity or lattice order. The solid forms described herein are not limited to any particular degree of crystallinity or lattice order and may be 0 – 100% crystalline. Methods of determining the degree of crystallinity are known to those of ordinary skill in the art, such as those described in Suryanarayanan, R., X-Ray Powder Diffractometry, Physical Characterization of Pharmaceutical Solids, H.G. Brittain, Editor, Marcel Dekker, Murray Hill, N.J., 1995, pp.187 – 199, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0046] The solid forms provided herein may be used as active pharmaceutical ingredients in the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions for use in animals or humans. Thus, embodiments herein encompass the use of these solid forms as a final drug product.
[0047] “Crystalline,” as used herein, refers to a solid formed by a repeating, three- dimensional pattern of atoms, ions or molecules having fixed distances between constituent parts. The unit cell is the simplest repeating unit in this pattern. Notwithstanding the homogenous nature of an ideal crystal, a perfect crystal rarely, if ever, exists. “Crystalline,” as used herein, encompasses crystalline forms that include crystalline defects, for example, crystalline defects commonly formed by manipulating (e.g., preparing, purifying) the crystalline forms described herein. A person skilled in the art is capable of determining whether a sample of a compound is crystalline notwithstanding the presence of such defects. Crystalline forms can be characterized by analytical methods such as x-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), single crystal x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform NAI-1538907928v1 9Jones Day Docket No.13371-344-228 infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and / or any other suitable analytical techniques. In particular, crystalline forms of a solid can be distinguished from non-crystalline forms by the presence of sharp, distinct peaks in the XRPD patterns of crystalline forms.
[0048] In certain embodiments, the term “substantially pure” with respect to any solid form, e.g., a single crystalline form as disclosed herein (e.g., Form 1, 2, or 3), means no detectable amount of another crystalline form as determined by observing no detectable significant differences in an XRPD and / or DSC pattern between the single crystalline form and a crystalline composition of Compound (I). However, a “substantially pure” solid form can include impurities, such as, but not limited to, synthetic reactants or by-products generated during the chemical synthesis. In certain embodiments, “substantially pure” refers to a purity of at least about 95%, at least about 96%, at least about 97%, at least about 98%, at least about 99%, at least about 99.5%, or at least 99.8%.
[0049] Solid forms may exhibit distinct physical characterization data that are unique to a particular solid form, such as the crystal forms described herein. These characterization data may be obtained by various techniques known to those skilled in the art. The data provided by these techniques may be used to identify a particular solid form. For example, an XRPD pattern, DSC thermogram or TGA thermal curve that “matches” or, interchangeably, is “essentially as shown” with one or more figures herein showing an XRPD pattern or DSC thermogram or TGA thermal curve, respectively, is one that would be considered by one skilled in the art to represent the same single crystalline form of the compound as the sample of the compound that provided the pattern or thermogram or thermal curve of one or more figures provided herein. Thus, an XRPD pattern or DSC thermogram or TGA thermal curve that matches or is substantially in accordance may be identical to that of one of the figures or, more likely, may be somewhat different from one or more of the figures. For example, an XRPD pattern that is somewhat different from one or more of the figures may not necessarily show each of the lines of the diffraction pattern presented herein and / or may show a slight change in appearance or intensity of the lines or a shift in the position of the lines. These differences typically result from differences in the conditions involved in obtaining the data or differences in the purity of the sample used to obtain the data. A person skilled in the art is capable of determining if a sample of a crystalline compound is of the same form as or a different form from a form disclosed herein by comparison of the XRPD pattern or DSC thermogram or TGA thermal curve of the sample NAI-1538907928v1 10Jones Day Docket No.13371-344-228 and the corresponding XRPD pattern or DSC thermogram or TGA thermal curve disclosed herein.
[0050] In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a solid form of 7-ethyl-4-(4'- (ethylsulfonyl)-6-fluoro-2'-methoxy-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-yl)-7H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridazine (Compound (I)) or a pharmaceutically acceptable solvate thereof: NN.

[0140] Physiological pain is an important protective mechanism designed to warn of danger from potentially injurious stimuli from the external environment. The system operates through a specific set of primary sensory neurons and is activated by noxious stimuli via peripheral transducing mechanisms (see, e.g., Meyer et al., 2006, Wall and Melzack’s Textbook of Pain (5th Ed), Chapter 1). These sensory fibers are known as nociceptors and are characteristically small diameter axons with slow conduction velocities, of which there are two main types, A- delta fibers (myelinated) and C fibers (non-myelinated). Nociceptors encode the intensity, duration, and quality of noxious stimulus and by virtue of their topographically organized projection to the spinal cord, the location of the stimulus. The activity generated by nociceptor input is transferred, after complex processing in the dorsal horn, either directly, or via brain stem relay nuclei, to the ventrobasal thalamus and then on to the cortex, where the sensation of pain is generated.
[0141] Pain may generally be classified as acute or chronic. Acute pain begins suddenly and is short-lived (usually twelve weeks or less). It is usually, although not always, associated with a specific cause such as a defined injury, is often sharp and severe and can result from numerous origins such as surgery, dental work, a strain, or a sprain. Acute pain does not generally result in any persistent psychological response. When a substantial injury occurs to body tissue, via disease or trauma, the characteristics of nociceptor activation may be altered such that there is sensitization in the periphery, locally around the injury and centrally where the nociceptors terminate. These effects lead to a heightened sensation of pain. In acute pain these mechanisms can be useful, in promoting protective behaviors which may better enable repair processes to NAI-1538907928v1 31Jones Day Docket No.13371-344-228 take place. The normal expectation would be that sensitivity returns to normal once the injury has healed. However, in many chronic pain states, the hypersensitivity far outlasts the healing process and is often due to nervous system injury or alteration which can be associated with maladaptation and aberrant activity (Woolf & Salter, 2000, Science, 288, 1765-1768). As such, chronic pain is long-term pain, typically persisting for more than three months and leading to significant psychological and emotional problems. Common examples of chronic pain are neuropathic pain (e.g., painful diabetic neuropathy or postherpetic neuralgia), carpal tunnel syndrome, back pain, headache, cancer pain, arthritic pain and chronic post-surgical pain, but may include any chronic painful condition affecting any system, such as those described by the International Association for the Study of Pain (Classification of Chronic Pain, a publication freely available for download at http: / / www.iasp-pain.org).
[0142] The clinical manifestation of pain is present when discomfort and abnormal sensitivity feature among the patient's symptoms. Patients tend to be quite heterogeneous and may present with various pain symptoms. Such symptoms can include: 1) spontaneous pain which may be dull, burning, or stabbing; 2) exaggerated pain responses to noxious stimuli (hyperalgesia); and 3) pain produced by normally innocuous stimuli (allodynia) (Meyer et al., 2006, Wall and Melzack's Textbook of 15 Pain (5th Ed), Chapter 1). Although patients suffering from various forms of acute and chronic pain may have similar symptoms, the underlying mechanisms may be different and may, therefore, require different treatment strategies. Apart from acute or chronic, pain can also be broadly categorized into nociceptive pain, affecting either the somatic or visceral systems, which can be inflammatory in nature (associated with tissue damage and the infiltration of immune cells), or neuropathic pain.
[0143] Nociceptive pain can be defined as the process by which intense thermal, mechanical, or chemical stimuli are detected by a subpopulation of peripheral nerve fibers, called nociceptors, and can be induced by tissue injury or by intense stimuli with the potential to cause injury. Pain afferents are activated by transduction of stimuli by nociceptors at the site of injury and activate neurons in the spinal cord at the level of their termination. This is then relayed up the spinal tracts to the brain where pain is perceived (Meyer et al., 2006, Wall and Melzack's Textbook of Pain (5thEd), Chapter 1). Myelinated A-delta fibers transmit rapidly and are responsible for sharp and stabbing pain sensations, whilst unmyelinated C fibers transmit at a slower rate and convey a dull or aching pain. Moderate to severe acute nociceptive pain is a NAI-1538907928v1 32Jones Day Docket No.13371-344-228 prominent feature of pain from strains / sprains, burns, myocardial infarction and acute pancreatitis, post-operative pain (pain following any type of surgical procedure), posttraumatic pain, pain associated with gout, cancer pain and back pain. Cancer pain may be chronic pain such as tumor related pain (e.g., bone pain, headache, facial pain, or visceral pain) or pain associated with cancer therapy (e.g., in response to chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormonal therapy or radiotherapy). Back pain may be due to herniated or ruptured intervertebral discs or abnormalities of the lumber facet joints, sacroiliac joints, paraspinal muscles or the posterior longitudinal ligament. Back pain may resolve naturally but, in some patients, where it lasts over 12 weeks, it becomes a chronic condition which can be particularly debilitating.
[0144] Nociceptive pain can also be related to inflammatory states. The inflammatory process is a complex series of biochemical and cellular events, activated in response to tissue injury or the presence of foreign substances, which results in swelling and pain (McMahon et al., 2006, Wall and Melzack's Textbook of Pain (5th Ed), Chapter 3). A common inflammatory condition associated with pain is arthritis. It has been estimated that almost 27 million Americans have symptomatic osteoarthritis (OA) or degenerative joint disease (Lawrence et al., 2008, Arthritis Rheum, 58, 15-35); most patients with osteoarthritis seek medical attention because of the associated pain. Arthritis has a significant impact on psychosocial and physical function and is known to be the leading cause of disability in later life. Rheumatoid arthritis is an immune-mediated, chronic, inflammatory polyarthritis disease, mainly affecting peripheral synovial joints. It is one of the commonest chronic inflammatory conditions in developed countries and is a major cause of pain.
[0145] In regard to nociceptive pain of visceral origin, visceral pain results from the activation of nociceptors of the thoracic, pelvic, or abdominal organs (Bielefeldt and Gebhart, 25 2006, Wall and Melzack's Textbook of Pain (5th Ed), Chapter 48). This includes the reproductive organs, spleen, liver, gastrointestinal and urinary tracts, airway structures, cardiovascular system and other organs contained within the abdominal cavity. As such visceral pain refers to pain associated with conditions of such organs, such as painful bladder syndrome, interstitial cystitis, prostatitis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, renal colic, irritable bowel syndrome, endometriosis and dysmenorrheal (Classification of Chronic Pain, available at http: / / www.iasp-pain.org). Currently the potential for a neuropathic contribution (either through NAI-1538907928v1 33Jones Day Docket No.13371-344-228 central changes or nerve injury / damage) to visceral pain states is poorly understood but may play a role in certain conditions (Aziz et al., 2009, Dig Dis 27, Suppl 1, 31-41)
[0146] Neuropathic pain is currently defined as pain arising as a direct consequence of a lesion or disease affecting the somatosensory system. Nerve damage can be caused by trauma and disease and thus the term 'neuropathic pain' encompasses many 5 disorders with diverse etiologies. These include, but are not limited to, peripheral neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, post herpetic neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia, back pain, cancer neuropathy, HIV neuropathy, phantom limb pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, central post-stroke pain and pain associated with chronic alcoholism, hypothyroidism, uremia, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and vitamin deficiency. Neuropathic pain is pathological as it has no protective role. It is often present well after the original cause has dissipated, commonly lasting for years, significantly decreasing a patient's quality of life (Dworkin, 2009, Am J Med, 122, S1- S2; Geber et al., 2009, Am J Med, 122, S3-S12; Haanpaa et al., 2009, Am J Med, 122, S13-S21). The symptoms of neuropathic pain are difficult to treat, as they are often heterogeneous even between patients with the same disease (Dworkin, 2009, Am J Med, 122, S 1-S2; Geber et al., 2009, Am J Med, 122, S3-S12; Haanpaa et al., 2009, Am J Med, 122, S13-S21). They include spontaneous pain, which can be continuous, and paroxysmal or abnormal evoked pain, such as hyperalgesia (increased sensitivity to a noxious stimulus) and allodynia (sensitivity to a normally innocuous stimulus).
[0147] It should be noted that some types of pain have multiple etiologies and thus can be classified in more than one area, e.g., back pain, cancer pain and even migraine headaches may include both nociceptive and neuropathic components. Similarly other types of chronic pain, perhaps less well understood, are not easily defined by the simplistic definitions of nociceptive or neuropathic. Such conditions include in particular fibromyalgia and chronic regional pain syndrome, which are often described as dysfunctional pain states e.g., fibromyalgia or complex regional pain syndrome (Woolf, 2010, J Clin Invest, 120, 3742-3744), but which are included in classifications of chronic pain states (Classification of Chronic Pain, available at http: / / www.iasp-pain.org).

[0187] Solid Forms were characterized by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM), high- resolution XRPD analysis,1H NMR spectroscopy, DSC, and TGA as follows:
[0188] X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD) patterns were collected on a PANalytical X'Pert PRO MPD diffractometer using an incident beam of Cu radiation produced using an Optix long, fine-focus source. An elliptically graded multilayer mirror was used to focus Cu Kα X-rays through the specimen and onto the detector. Prior to the analysis, a silicon specimen (NIST SRM 640d) was analyzed to verify the Si 111 peak position. A specimen of the sample was sandwiched between 3-μm-thick films and analyzed in transmission geometry. A beam-stop, short anti-scatter extension, and an anti-scatter knife edge were used to minimize the background generated by air. Soller slits for the incident and diffracted beams were used to minimize broadening from axial divergence. Diffraction patterns were collected using a scanning position- sensitive detector (X'Celerator) located 240 mm from the specimen and Data Collector software v.2.2b.
[0189] Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) was performed using a TA Instrument Q2000 differential scanning calorimeter. Temperature calibration was performed using NIST traceable indium metal. The sample was placed into an aluminum Tzero DSC pan, covered with NAI-1538907928v1 50Jones Day Docket No.13371-344-228 a lid, and the weight was accurately recorded. A weighed aluminum pan configured as the sample pan was placed on the reference side of the cell. The data acquisition parameters and pan configuration are displayed on the thermogram. The method code on the thermogram is an abbreviation for the start and end temperature as well as the heating rate, e.g., (-30)-250-10 means "from -30 °C to 250 °C, at 10 °C / min". The abbreviation of "T0C" on the thermogram means "Tzero pan and lid crimped".
[0190] Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed using a TA Instruments 2950 IR thermogravimetric analyzer. Sample was placed in an aluminum sample pan and inserted into the TG furnace. The data acquisition and processing parameters are displayed on each thermogram. Nickel and Alumel™ were used as the calibration standards. The method code on the thermogram is an abbreviation for the start and end temperature as well as the heating rate, e.g., 00-350-10 means "from 0 °C to 350 °C, at 10 °C / min".
[0191] Solution1H NMR spectrum was acquired at ambient with a VarianUNITYINOVA-400 spectrometer at a1H Larmor frequency of 399.795 MHz. The sample was dissolved in DMSO-d6 containing TMS. The spectrum was acquired with a1H pulse width of 8.9 µs, a 5 second acquisition time, a 2.5 second delay between scans, a spectral width of 6400 Hz with 64000 data points, and 40 co-added scans. The free induction decay (FID) was processed using Varian VNMR 6.1C software with 131072 points and an exponential line broadening factor of 0.2 Hz to noise ratio. The residual peak from incompletely deuterated solvent (DMSO-d5) is at approximately 2.50 ppm. The singlet peak at approximately 3.33 ppm is due to water. The spectrum was referenced to internal tetramethylsilane (TMS) at 0.0 ppm.
[0192] Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) was performed using a Leica MZ12.5 stereomicroscope or a Leica DM LP microscope. Various objectives from 0.8-10x were used with crossed-polarized light to view samples, utilizing a first order red compensator. Samples were viewed in situ. Images were acquired at ambient temperature with a Spot Insight color camera using Spot Advanced software version 4.5.9 build date June 9, 2005.
[0193] Characterization of Form 1 of Compound (I): Based on PLM observations, Form 1 is a white powder with pills consisting of tiny B / E particles. The XRPD pattern indicates Form 1 is crystalline and is shown in FIG.1. The DSC thermogram, shown in FIG.2, shows a sharp endotherm with peak maximum at 187 °C. TGA, shown in FIG.3, indicates no weight loss from NAI-1538907928v1 51Jones Day Docket No.13371-344-228 ambient temperature up to 150 °C and a 0.7% weight loss between 150 and 200 °C that is on the same order as the amount of EtOAc found by1H NMR. The1H NMR spectrum, shown as the bottom red trace in FIG.4, is consistent with the structure of Compound (I). A small amount of EtOAc (0.53 wt. %; 0.027 mol / mol API) and other possible impurities were observed.
[0194] Form 1 of Compound (I) has an aqueous solubility of about 15 µg / mL at pH 2 and about 2 µg / mL at pH 7.
[0195] The single crystal structure of Form 1 of Compound (I) was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Single crystals suitable for X-ray data collection were isolated from a crash cool experiment (−80 °C) of the filtrate that was obtained from a 2-week ambient trituration of Compound (I) in acetone. A colorless plate of C22H21FN4O3S having approximate dimensions of 0.84 mm × 0.66 mm × 0.48 mm, was mounted on a fiber in random orientation. Preliminary examination and data collection were performed with Mo Kα radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å) on a Nonius Kappa CCD diffractometer equipped with a graphite crystal, incident beam monochromator. Refinements were performed using SHELX97. Cell constants and an orientation matrix for data collection were obtained from least-squares refinement using the setting angles of 9592 reflections in the range 2° < ^ < 27°. The refined mosaicity from DENZO / SCALEPACK is 0.47° indicating good crystal quality. The space group was determined by the program XPREP. There were no systematic absences, and the space group was determined to be P−1. The data were collected to a maximum 2^ value of 54.50º, at room temperature.
[0196] Frames were integrated with DENZO-SMN. A total of 9592 reflections were collected, of which 4515 were unique. Lorentz and polarization corrections were applied to the data. The linear absorption coefficient is 0.198 mm-1for Mo Kα radiation. An empirical absorption correction using SCALEPACK was applied. Transmission coefficients ranged from 0.798 to 0.909. A secondary extinction correction was applied. The final coefficient, refined in least- squares, was 0.0730 (in absolute units). Intensities of equivalent reflections were averaged. The agreement factor for the averaging was 4.9% based on intensity.
[0197] The triclinic cell parameters and calculated volume are: a = 7.1681(6) Å, b = 12.7377(16) Å, c = 12.8951(13) Å, α = 113.21°, β = 104.05°, γ = 92.80°, V = 1035.81(19) Å3. The molecular weight of the asymmetric unit in the crystal structure of Compound (I) Form 1 is NAI-1538907928v1 52Jones Day Docket No. 13371-344-228 440.50 g·mol−1with Z = 2, resulting in a calculated density of 1.412 g·cm−3. The space group was determined to be P−1.
[0198] The structure was solved using the Patterson heavy-atom method which revealed the position of the S atom. The remaining atoms were located in succeeding difference Fourier syntheses. Hydrogen atoms were included in the refinement but restrained to ride on the atom to which they are bonded. The structure was refined in full-matrix least-squares by minimizing the function: The weight w is defined as 1 / [σ²(Fo2) + (0.0097P)2+(1.7895P)], where P = (Fo2+2Fc2) / 3.
[0199] Scattering factors were taken from the “International Tables for Crystallography.” Of the 4515 reflections used in the refinements, only the reflections with Fo2> 2σ( Fo2) were used in calculating the fit residual, R. A total of 3117 reflections were used in the calculation. The final cycle of refinement included 284 variable parameters and converged (largest parameter shift was < 0.01 times its estimated standard deviation) with unweighted and weighted agreement factors of:of unit weight (goodness of fit) was 1.074. The highest peak in the final difference Fourier had a height of 0.71 e / ų. The minimum negative peak had a height of −0.43 e / ų.
[0201] A calculated XRPD pattern was generated for Cu radiation using PowderCell 2.3 and the atomic coordinates, space group, and unit cell parameters from the single crystal structure. FIG. 7 shows a calculated XRPD pattern of Form 1 of Compound (I), generated from the single crystal structure. All peaks in the experimental pattern of Form 1 of Compound (I) are represented in the calculated XRPD pattern, indicating that the prepared Form 1 is likely a single phase of Form 1. NAI-1538907928v1 53Jones Day Docket No.13371-344-228
[0202] To investigate the physical stability, samples were stored at 25°C / 60% RH for 12 months and 40°C / 75% RH for 6 months and no significant difference was observed in the XRPD patterns obtained, suggesting that the material is physically stable under these conditions.
[0203] Characterization of Form 2: Based on polarized light microscopy observations, the material consists of B / E needle fans and elongated angulars. The XRPD pattern, shown in FIG.5, was consistent with crystalline material. The1H NMR spectrum obtained from fast evaporation of Form 1 of Compound (I) in 90:10 THF:water, designated as Form 2, is shown as the top blue trace in FIG.4, was consistent with the structure of Compound (I) and showed no detectable THF. However, peaks not expected for Compound (I) were present, likely indicating the presence of impurities in Form 2.
[0204] However, peaks not expected for Compound (I) were present, likely indicating the presence of impurities. Three scale-up experiments in 90:10 v / v THF:water were done in an attempt to produce Form 2 for further characterization and elevated temperature competition slurry experiments. However, none was successful. In the first scale-up, a concentrated solution (53 mg / mL) of Compound (I) in 90:10 v / v THF:water was fast evaporated but resulted in a sticky oil. The resulting oil was redissolved in fresh solvent at a concentration of 106 mg / mL and fast evaporated, producing Form 1 of Compound (I). The second scale-up was a fast evaporation of a dilute solution using the concentration that initially produced Form 2 (5 mg / mL), but also resulted in Form 1 of Compound (I). In the third scale-up, the material from the second scale-up was redissolved at the same solvent volume, but a combination of rotary evaporation / vacuum oven drying at ambient temperature was used to remove the solvent. A murky, gelatinous oil was produced. Example 5: Solubility
[0205] Form 1 of Compound (I) was dissolved in thirteen (13) different organic solvents including acetone, ACN, chloroform, p-dioxane, EtOH, EtOAc, n-heptane, MeOH, t-butyl methyl ether (TBME), isopropyl alcohol (IPA), THF, toluene, and n-hexane, in water, and in seven aqueous binary mixtures with water activity above approximately 0.8, including 78:22 v / v, acetone:water, 90:10 v / v acetone:water, 88:12 v / v ACN:water, 52:48 v / v EtOH:water, 39:61 v / v MeOH:water, 95:5 v / v THF:water, and 90:10 v / v THF:water.

[0206] Equilibrium solubilities were determined for Form 1 of Compound (I) for the aqueous binary systems at ambient temperature and acetone, EtOAc, and THF at 40 °C. All solvents, except where water was used, were dried over 3Å molecular sieves. Table 3 provides the results of the equilibrium solubilities in each system tested.

Example 7: Limited Polymorph Screen
[0208] Centrifuge filtrates and selected solutions from the solubility screen were employed in a limited polymorph screen that utilized fast and slow evaporations, solvent-antisolvent additions (n-heptane, IPA, and THF) were tested, vapor diffusion, precipitations, and crash (- 80 °C), freezer (-25 to -15 °C), and refrigerator (2 to 8 °C) cooling, which are described as follows:
[0209] Fast Evaporation: Sample solutions, consisting of API and solvent(s), were evaporated in 2-mL, 20-mL, or 40-mL HPLC vials in a fume hood at ambient temperature. The resulting solids were screened with PLM for birefringent / extinguishable solid before analyzing by XRPD.
[0210] Slow Evaporation: Sample solutions, consisting of API and solvent(s), were slowly evaporated in 2-mL HPLC vials in a fume hood at ambient temperature by loosely lidding the caps to the vials. The resulting solids were screened with PLM for birefringent / extinguishable solid before analyzing by XRPD.
[0211] Solvent-Antisolvent Addition: Either n-heptane (~2:1 to 3:1 v / v), IPA (~5:1 to 7:1 v / v), or chlorhexidine (~2:1 v / v) was added to aliquots of the mother liquors from the equilibrium solubility study of the stable form screen in an effort to precipitate kinetic forms. Recovered solids were submitted for XRPD analysis at ambient temperature.
[0212] Cooling: Cooling experiments were conducted in either a refrigerator at 2 to 8 °C or in a freezer at -15 to -25 °C.
[0213] Crash Cooling: A sealed 2-mL HPLC vial containing an aliquot of mother liquor filtrate from the equilibrium solubility study was placed inside a parafilmed 20-mL scintillation vial, then transferred to a -80 °C freezer for 1 day. The resulting mixture was manually pressure- filtered on a 0.22-µm nylon membrane to isolate the solid.
[0214] Precipitation: Some solids formed as in situ precipitates in the mother liquor filtrates and were isolated. NAI-1538907928v1 56Jones Day Docket No.13371-344-228
[0215] Vapor Diffusion: A centrifuge tube containing the THF mother liquor filtrate for Compound (I) was placed uncovered into a 20 mL glass scintillation vial containing a few milliliters of n-heptane antisolvent. The outer vial was sealed with parafilm, and the sample was left at ambient temperature for ~8 days before isolating the solid.

[0217] As shown, two materials were identified in addition to Form 1. A mixture with Form 1 (“Material B”) was produced from fast evaporation in methanol. Form 2 was produced from a fast evaporation in 90:10 v / v THF:water. NAI-1538907928v1 59Jones Day Docket No.13371-344-228 Example 8: Competitive Slurry
[0218] A competitive slurry was conducted in anhydrous acetone pre-saturated with of Compound (I) Form 1 at ambient temperature. The mixture with Form 1 and Form 2 were added and stirred / vortexed for five days. The slurry was centrifuge-filtered, and the wet cake was allowed to dry in air. The XRPD pattern of the resulting solid was consistent with Form 1. Example 9: Attempted Scale-Up of Form 2
[0219] Attempt 1: Compound (I) (105.8 mg) was dissolved in 90:10 v / v THF:water (2.0 mL). Solvent was rapidly evaporated. A sticky oil formed upon complete evaporation (~2 days). The oil was re-dissolved in fresh 90:10 v / v THF:water (1.0 mL) and fast evaporated ~12 days, producing white solid. The XRPD pattern for the material was consistent with Form 1.
[0220] Attempt 2: Compound (I) (100.1 mg) was dissolved in 90:10 v / v THF:water (21.3 mL). In this attempt, an effort was made to reproduce the conditions of that generated Form 2 in Example 7, which had previously generated Form 2 (4.71 mg Compound (I) / 1.0 mL solvent; sonication; ~6 days fast evaporation at RT). The evaporation for the scale-up took ~10 days. The XRPD pattern for the recovered material was consistent with Form 1.
[0221] Attempt 3: Solid from the Attempt 2 was re-dissolved in fresh 90:10 v / v THF: water (21.3 mL solvent) using sonication. A rotary evaporation was conducted over ~30 minutes at ambient temperature and reduced pressure followed by overnight drying in a vacuum oven at ambient temperature (~24-34 mTorr). A murky, gelatinous oil resulted. Example 10: Summary of Polymorph Screening
[0222] In summary, various methods were described herein that attempted to prepare and characterize the various polymorphs of Compound (I). Three unique XRPD patterns of the free base of Compound (I) were identified during the course of the screen: Form 1, Form 2 (from a fast evaporation in 90:10 THF:water) and Pattern B (Material B by SSCI annotation, from a fast evaporation in MeOH, mix of Form 1 and another pattern). Additionally, a sulfate salt of Compound (I) (“Form 3”) was also generated. Single crystals of Form 1 were isolated during the screen, the single crystal structure was solved, and a calculated powder pattern was generated. This calculated powder pattern was consistent with patterns of Form 1. Producing Form 2 in larger quantities was inefficient. Solution NMR on Form 2 did not show the presence of any residual solvents. Slurries with Form 1 as the starting material were run at ambient conditions and 40°C and Form 1 was isolated in all cases. Form 1, Form 2 and Pattern B solids were NAI-1538907928v1 60Jones Day Docket No.13371-344-228 competitively slurried in anhydrous acetone saturated with Form 1 for five days, which yielded Form 1. Therefore, it was concluded that Form 1 of Compound (I) is the most stable form at room temperature and 40°C. Example 11: Preparation and Characterization of Sulfate Salt
[0223] Compound (I) has a low pKa (2.77), which limits the number of counter ions which could form a salt. Additionally, formation of a salt runs a high risk of disproportionation in drug product. Nevertheless, a small-scale salt screening was conducted with mesylate, tosylate, sulfate and HCl counter ions. Only experiments utilizing HCl and sulfate yielded material that was different to the ingoing form. Further, it was difficult to replicate the form obtained from HCl.
[0224] A highly crystalline, high melting solid was produced when utilizing sulfate as a counter ion. The XRPD pattern obtained is shown in FIG.6 and is considered to be a sulfate salt of Compound (I). During thermal analysis, a deviation from the baseline was observed in DSC, shown in FIG.8, prior to the melt and some weight loss was observed in TGA experiments, shown in FIG.9, which can be indicative of solvent loss. This was investigated further utilizing hotstage XRPD, which indicated no form change up to 180 °C. It was hypothesized that degradation was occurring prior to the melt.
[0225] Although the suspected sulfate salt is classified as non-hygroscopic, it does sorb approximately 1.5% water at 90% relative humidity (RH). The material was further characterized by humidity XRPD whereupon it was analyzed between 25 and 90% RH, no shifts were seen in the XRPD peaks which might be expected if water molecules were moving in and out of the lattice.
[0226] To investigate the physical stability, samples were stored at 40°C / 75% RH and 70°C / 75% RH for two weeks and no significant difference was observed in the XRPD patterns obtained, suggesting that the material is physically stable under these conditions for two weeks. * * * * *
