[0071] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more readily apparent, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The following description sets forth numerous specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar modifications without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0072] The "crystal of the present invention", "crystal form of the present invention", "polymorph of the present invention" and the like used in the present invention are used interchangeably and refer to the phosphate polymorph of the compound of formula (I), particularly to the monophosphate polymorph of the compound of formula (I), and more particularly to the phosphate crystal form III.

[0073] In the present invention, the compound of formula (I) is (1S,3S)-N1-(5-((S)-1-cyclobutylethyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7-yl)cyclopentane-1,3-diamine, and its structure is shown below:

[0074] The present invention also includes phosphates of the compound of formula (I), in particular monophosphates and the crystal form III of the phosphate of the compound of formula (I).

[0075] In the present invention, "compound of formula (I)", "free base of compound of formula (I)" and "free base" can be used interchangeably.

[0076] The "phosphate crystal form III" used in the present invention and the "phosphate crystal form III of the compound of formula (I)" can be used interchangeably.

[0077] Polymorphs: Solids exist in either amorphous or crystalline forms. In the crystalline form, the molecules are arranged in a three-dimensional lattice. When a compound crystallizes from a solution or slurry, it can crystallize in different spatial arrangements (a property known as "polymorphism"), forming crystals with different crystalline forms, which are called "polymorphs." Different polymorphs of a given substance can differ from one another in one or more physical properties, such as solubility and dissolution rate, true specific gravity, crystal shape, packing pattern, flowability, and / or solid-state stability.

[0078] Crystallization: Production-scale crystallization can be accomplished by manipulating the solution so that the solubility limit of the compound of interest is exceeded. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways, for example, by dissolving the compound at a relatively high temperature and then cooling the solution to below the saturation limit. Alternatively, the liquid volume can be reduced by boiling, atmospheric evaporation, vacuum drying, or by some other method. The solubility of the compound of interest can be reduced by adding an antisolvent or a solvent in which the compound has a low solubility, or a mixture of such solvents. Another alternative is to adjust the pH to reduce the solubility. For a detailed description of crystallization, see Crystallization, 3rd edition, J.W. Mullens, Butterworth-Heineman Ltd., 1993, ISBN 0750611294, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0079] The "suspension shaking" method of the present invention refers to a method of mixing the compound of formula (I) and the corresponding acid or a solution of the corresponding acid in a suitable solvent to form a turbid solution and then shaking the solution to obtain crystals. The suitable solvent may be water or an organic solvent.

[0080] The "suspension centrifugation" of the present invention refers to a method in which the compound of formula (I) and the corresponding acid or a solution of the corresponding acid are mixed in a suitable solvent to form a turbid solution, followed by centrifugation to obtain crystals. The suitable solvent may be water or an organic solvent.

[0081] The "slow volatilization" mentioned in the present invention refers to a method in which a solution containing the compound of formula (I) and the corresponding acid is placed at a certain temperature to slowly volatilize the solvent to obtain crystals.

[0082] The "anti-solvent addition crystallization" mentioned in the present invention refers to a method of adding another suitable solvent to a solution of the compound of formula (I) to precipitate crystals.

[0083] If it is desired that salt formation and crystallization occur simultaneously, then if the salt is less soluble in the reaction medium than the starting materials, then the addition of an appropriate acid or base can result in direct crystallization of the desired salt. Similarly, completion of the synthesis reaction in a medium in which the final desired form is less soluble than the reactants can result in direct crystallization of the final product.

An ethanolic solution of phosphoric acid (448 g of phosphoric acid (85% content), 1.58 kg of ethanol) was added dropwise. The salt-forming reaction was carried out for 0.5 to 1 hour, and then crystallized (according to the crystallization operation in Table 8, the effects of different crystallization temperatures, crystallization conditions, and seed crystal addition amounts on the residual solvent were investigated). The solid was filtered and vacuum dried in a 20 L rotary evaporator for 12 hours to obtain the phosphate salt form III of the compound of formula (I).

[0145] Example 5. Preparation of Phosphate Crystalline Form I of the Compound of Formula (I)

[0146] A 20mL sample vial was charged with free base (500mg) and methanol (1mL) and sonicated to dissolve. A 1mol / L phosphoric acid solution was then added at a molar ratio of 2.5:1 between the acid and base. The reaction was allowed to proceed at 50°C for 1h, followed by stirring at 40°C for 1h, and then at 30°C for another 1h. The heat was then turned off and the mixture was stirred overnight. After the reaction, the temperature was slowly lowered to 0°C, and acetone was added to precipitate a solid. The solid was collected by centrifugation and the solvent was evaporated to obtain the phosphate salt Form I of the compound of formula (I). Elemental analysis of the resulting solid revealed a phosphorus content of 12.5%, indicating a molar ratio of the compound of formula (I) to phosphoric acid of 1:2 (the theoretical phosphorus content is 12.5%). The XRPD pattern of the resulting solid is shown in Figure 5 ; its DSC and TGA patterns are shown in Figure 6 ; and its DVS pattern is shown in Figure 7 .

[0147] Comparative Example 1. Salt-forming reaction of the compound of formula (I)

[0148] An appropriate amount of the compound of formula (I) (about 100 mg) was weighed by the weight loss method and placed in a transparent sample bottle. 0.2 mL to 0.3 mL of the corresponding solvent was added and dissolved by ultrasound. Then, a 1 mol / L aqueous solution of the acid was added according to an acid-base molar ratio of 1.2:1. The reaction was continued at 50 ° C for 1 hour, and stirring was continued at 40 ° C for 1 hour. Stirring was continued at 30 ° C for another 1 hour. After cooling to room temperature, the heating was turned off and stirred overnight. After the reaction was completed, the temperature was slowly lowered to precipitate the solid. If it was still a clear solution, the anti-solvent addition method was tried to induce crystallization. The reaction results showed that the compound of formula (I) did not form salts with acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and oxalic acid after cooling and adding anti-solvents; wherein, the types and results of the acid and solvent are shown in Table 9 below.

[0150] Test Example 1. Solubility Test

[0151] (1) Solubility test of phosphate crystal form III

[0152] Referring to the test method for solubility in the general provisions of Part II of the "Chinese Pharmacopoeia" (2020), the obtained Form III (prepared with reference to Example 4) was ground into fine powder, added to a certain volume of solvent at 25°C±2°C, and shaken vigorously for 30 seconds every 5 minutes. The dissolution within 30 minutes was observed. If no solute particles were visible to the naked eye, it was considered to be completely dissolved.

[0153] Table 10-1 Solubility test results of Form III

[0154] As shown in Table 10-1, Form III is nearly insoluble in dichloromethane and ethanol, but readily soluble in dimethyl sulfoxide and water. Test results for the free base show that it is slightly soluble in water, indicating that Form III has better solubility in water than the free base, which is more conducive to improving the drug's bioavailability in the body.

[0155] (2) Comparison of the solubility of the phosphate crystal form I and the phosphate crystal form III of the compound of formula (I)

[0156] Prepare 0.1 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution and pH 6.8 phosphate buffer, weigh 200 mg of phosphate crystal form I (prepared according to Example 5) and phosphate crystal form III (prepared according to Example 4), add 5 mL of 0.1 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution and pH 6.8 phosphate buffer (sodium dihydrogen phosphate-sodium hydroxide system), respectively, and take samples at 0 h and 24 h (placed in a 37°C oven) to measure solubility. The experimental results are shown in the following table:

[0157] Table 10-2 Solubility comparison

[0158] It can be seen from the experimental results in Table 10-2 that the phosphate crystal form III has a higher solubility than the phosphate crystal form I.

[0159] Test Example 2. Stability Test of Phosphate Crystalline Form III

[0160] (1) Chemical stability

[0161] With reference to the provisions of the long-term test in the "Guidelines for Stability Tests of Raw Materials and Preparations" of the "Chinese Pharmacopoeia" (2020) 9001, a long-term stability test was conducted on Form III (prepared with reference to Example 4). The test method was as follows: the test sample was placed at a temperature of 25°C ± 2°C and a relative humidity of 60% ± 5% for 12 months. Samples were taken every 3 months, and samples were taken at 0 months, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months for testing according to the key stability inspection items. The test results are shown in Table 11:

[0162] Table 11 Long-term stability test results of Form III

[0163] The stability test results in Table 11 show that Form III has excellent stability in long-term stability tests and is more suitable for further development of pharmaceutical formulations. However, the free base of the compound of formula (I) turns from light color to black after being left at room temperature for a period of time, indicating severe deterioration, indicating that the phosphate Form III has better chemical stability.

[0164] (2) Physical stability

[0165] A sample (about 100 mg) of the phosphate crystal form III (prepared as described in Example 4) was weighed and placed under 60°C (high temperature) and 40°C-75% RH (accelerated) conditions. At the same time, another group of samples was sealed and stored at 5°C as a control. The crystal form changes were detected at 20 days and 30 days.

[0166] The test results show that the XRPD pattern of the phosphate crystal form III at 60°C does not change significantly. Its XRPD overlay is shown in Figure 8, indicating that this crystal form has good stability under high temperature conditions. The XRPD pattern of the phosphate crystal form III does not change significantly under 40°C-75% RH conditions, indicating that this crystal form has good stability under accelerated conditions.

[0167] Test Example 3. Hygroscopicity test

[0168] The free base of the compound of formula (I) (prepared as described in Preparation Example 1) and the phosphate crystal form III of the compound of formula (I) (prepared as described in Example 4) were subjected to a hygroscopicity test according to the procedure of 9103 (Guidelines for Hygroscopicity Test of Drugs) in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2020). The test method is as follows: (1) Take a dry stoppered glass weighing bottle (outer diameter 50 mm, height 15 mm), place it in a suitable 25℃±1℃ constant temperature desiccator (with ammonium chloride or ammonium sulfate saturated solution placed at the bottom) or an artificial climate box (set temperature of 25℃±1℃, relative humidity of 80%±2%) the day before the test, and accurately weigh the weight (m1). (2) Take an appropriate amount of the test sample and spread it flat in the above-mentioned weighing bottle. The thickness of the test sample is generally about 1 mm, and accurately weigh the weight (m2). (3) Open the weighing bottle and place it under the above-mentioned constant temperature and humidity conditions with the bottle cap for 24 hours. (4) Cover the weighing bottle cap and accurately weigh the weight (m3). (5) Calculate the weight gain percentage: The test results show that the free base of the compound of formula (I) has a moisture absorption weight increase of 3.95% under the test conditions, and is hygroscopic; the phosphate crystal form III of the compound of formula (I) has a moisture absorption weight increase of <0.5% under the test conditions, and is slightly hygroscopic.

[0169] The DVS test was performed on the phosphate crystal form I of the compound of formula (I). The DVS graph is shown in FIG7 . The DVS graph shows that under 80% RH conditions, the weight gain after moisture absorption is 9%, indicating that the compound has hygroscopic properties.

[0170] The above hygroscopicity results show that the hygroscopicity of the free base of the compound of formula (I) is greatly enhanced after conversion to the phosphate salt crystal form I (the weight gain due to hygroscopicity increases from 3.95% to 9%), while the hygroscopicity is greatly reduced after conversion from the free base to the phosphate salt crystal form III (the weight gain due to hygroscopicity decreases from 3.95% to <0.5%). It can be seen that the phosphate salt crystal form III has unexpectedly low hygroscopicity.
