Description

Salt, crystal form, preparation method of GLP-1 receptor agonist compound, and pharmaceutical composition and use thereof TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry, and specifically relates to a salt of a GLP-1 receptor agonist, a crystal form of the salt, a preparation method of the salt, and a pharmaceutical composition and use thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a peptide hormone secreted by intestinal epithelial L cells, which is widely distributed in the pancreas, stomach and small intestinal mucosa, and heart, lung, central nervous system. After specific binding of GLP-1 and GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) in vivo, the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways in the cell membrane are activated, and then various effects are exerted, such as promoting glucose-dependent insulin secretion, inhibiting glucagon secretion, inhibiting apoptosis of islet beta cells, delaying gastric emptying, and inhibiting food intake, etc. GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have been developed to treat type II diabetes. More and more clinical experiments have also confirmed that GLP-1RAs can play different roles in obesity and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), cardiovascular disease and nervous system disease in addition to playing an advantageous role in the treatment of diabetes, in addition to which GLP-1 can also bind to related receptors in the kidney, skin, etc. to affect tissue metabolism (Sichuan Medicine, 2020, 41(10): 1089-1093.).

[0003] Currently marketed GLP-1 receptor agonists are polypeptide drugs, such as semaglutide, liraglutide, exenatide, dulaglutide, etc. However, because the oral bioavailability of peptide GLP-1 is poor, it is inconvenient to take, so there is a high expectation for small molecule GLP-1 receptor agonists with good oral bioavailability.

[0004] International application WO2023222084A1 discloses a benzimidazole compound (S)-2-(4-(6-((4-chlorobenzofuran-7-yl)methoxy)-5-fluoropyridin-2-yl)-2-fluorobenzyl)-1-(oxetan-2-ylmethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-6-carboxylic acid and a preparation method thereof, which has excellent GLP-1 receptor agonist activity. However, the prior art does not disclose research on salts and crystal forms thereof.

[0005] Although it is known in the art that developing an appropriate form of salt can improve the solubility of a compound, it is not simple and easy to select an appropriate salt for a specific compound because there are great differences in the physicochemical properties between different salts. Therefore, it is necessary to study the salt of the compound to find a salt with high solubility, good stability and strong drugability, so as to maximize the effectiveness of the drug, which is of great significance to drug development.

[0006] Polymorphism of drugs is a common phenomenon in drug development and is an important factor affecting drug quality. Different crystal forms often have different solubility, stability, hygroscopicity and bioavailability, thus directly affecting the quality of the pharmaceutical preparation of the drug, the absorption behavior in the human body, and ultimately affecting the therapeutic effect and the benefit ratio of side effects of the preparation in the human body. Therefore, it is necessary to study the crystal form of the compound to find a crystal form with high purity, good solubility, good stability and high bioavailability, so as to maximize the effectiveness of the drug, which is of great significance to drug development.

[0082] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0083] 1. The solubility of the tromethamine salt of the compound of formula (I) is significantly improved compared with the sodium salt of the compound of formula (I) and the arginine salt of the compound of formula (I). For example, in one embodiment of the present application, the solubility of the tromethamine salt of the compound of formula (I) (represented by the Form E crystal form of the tromethamine salt, which is the crystal form with the poorest solubility among the crystal forms of the tromethamine salt) under the "FaSSIF" and "FeSSIF" conditions is more than 15 times and 16 times, respectively, the solubility of the sodium salt of the compound of formula (I), and is at least 36 times and 16 times the solubility of the arginine salt of the compound of formula (I). The solubility of the tromethamine salt of the compound of formula (I) has achieved an unexpected effect compared with the sodium salt of the compound of formula (I) and the arginine salt of the compound of formula (I).

[0084] 2. The thermodynamic comparison experiments of the crystal forms of the tromethamine salt of the compound of formula (I) show that the Form B, Form G, and Form Q crystal forms of the tromethamine salt of the compound of formula (I) have high crystallinity and good thermodynamic properties, and in particular, the Form Q crystal form of the tromethamine salt has a high melting point (170.08°C) and good thermal stability, and is an advantageous crystal form.

[0085] 3、The solubility of the tromethamine salt of the compound of formula (I) is improved compared to the free form. In particular, the solubility of the tromethamine salt Form B and Form Q of the compound of formula (I) is significantly improved compared to the free form of the compound of formula (I). For example, in one embodiment of the present application, the solubility of the tromethamine salt Form B in water is 18 times that of the free form; the solubility in FeSSIF (pH = 5.0) is 63 times that of the free form; the solubility in FaSSIF (pH = 6.5) is 15.83 μg / mL, while the free form is not detected (calculated according to the detection limit of 0.05 μg / mL), which is at least 316 times that of the free form; the solubility of the tromethamine salt Form B of the compound of formula (I) is unexpectedly improved compared to the free form. The solubility of the tromethamine salt Form Q in water is 4300 times that of the free form; the solubility of Form Q in FeSSIF (pH = 5.0) is 140 times that of the free form; the solubility of Form Q in a phosphate buffer at pH 6.8 is 78 times that of the free form; the solubility of Form Q in FaSSIF (pH = 6.5) is 60 μg / mL, while the free form is not detected (calculated according to the detection limit of 0.05 μg / mL), which is at least 1200 times that of the free form; the solubility of the tromethamine salt Form Q of the compound of formula (I) is unexpectedly improved compared to the free form. Among the tromethamine salt crystal forms, the solubility of Form Q is the best.

[0086] 4、The stability of the tromethamine salt Form B and Form Q is higher than that of the free form of the compound of formula (I). For example, in one embodiment of the present application, the crystal form, purity and properties of the tromethamine salt Form B and Form Q do not change under the conditions of high temperature, high humidity and strong light. However, the purity of the free form of the compound of formula (I) changes from 99.17% to 98.87% under the condition of high temperature for 15 days, which decreases by 0.30%; the purity changes from 99.17% to 98.97% under the condition of high humidity for 15 days, which decreases by 0.20%; and the properties change from white to yellowish under the condition of light.

[0087] At the same time, according to the results of the accelerated stability and long-term stability tests, the tromethamine salt Form B and Form Q have good stability, which meets the requirements of drug stability. In particular, the stability of the tromethamine salt Form Q is better than that of other crystal forms.

[0088] 5、The Form B and Form Q of Titrated Aminitriol have excellent pharmacokinetic properties, and achieve unexpected results. For example, in the pharmacokinetic comparative study in rats, under the condition of the same dosage of 10mpk, the Cmax and exposure of Form B of Titrated Aminitriol and Form Q of Titrated Aminitriol are significantly higher than those of the compound of formula (I) (free state), for example, the Cmax and exposure of Form B of Titrated Aminitriol are about 7 times and 4 times of those of the compound of formula (I) (free state) respectively, and the Cmax and exposure of Form Q of Titrated Aminitriol are about 10 times and 9 times of those of the compound of formula (I) (free state) respectively. The exposure of Form Q of Titrated Aminitriol is about 2.3 times of that of Form B of Titrated Aminitriol. For example, in the pharmacokinetic comparative study in beagles, under the condition of the same dosage of 3mpk, the Cmax and exposure of Form Q of Titrated Aminitriol are significantly higher than those of the compound of formula (I) (free state), for example, the Cmax and exposure of Form Q of Titrated Aminitriol are about 3 times and 4.5 times of those of the compound of formula (I) (free state) respectively, and achieve unexpected results.

[0089] 6、The Form Q of Titrated Aminitriol has excellent pharmacodynamic properties, and significantly improves the activity of the compound of formula (I). BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0268] Example 22: Comparative study of solubility

[0269] The compound of formula (I) (free form), the compound of formula (I) tromethamine salt Form A, the compound of formula (I) tromethamine salt Form E, the compound of formula (I) tromethamine salt Form Q, the compound of formula (I) sodium salt and the compound of formula (I) arginine salt were each suspended in 15 mL of different pH solutions and placed in a constant temperature shaker with a rotation speed of 200 r / min and a temperature of 37°C for 24 h. Subsequently, the solubility was determined by HPLC, and the comparative data of solubility are as follows:

[0270] Note: "N.D." means not detected (detection limit: 0.05 μg / mL); "-" means not detected; "FaSSIF" means simulated fasted state simulated intestinal fluid; "FeSSIF" means simulated fed state simulated intestinal fluid.

[0271] The results show that:

[0272] (1): The solubility of the compound of formula (I) sodium salt and the compound of formula (I) arginine salt under the conditions of "FaSSIF" and "FeSSIF" is very low, and is not significantly improved compared with the compound of formula (I) (free form). In contrast, the solubility of the different crystal forms of the compound of formula (I) tromethamine salt (e.g. Form A, Form B, Form E, Form Q) under the conditions of "FaSSIF" and "FeSSIF" is significantly improved compared with the compound of formula (I) (free form) and the compound of formula (I) sodium salt and arginine salt. For example, the solubility of the compound of formula (I) tromethamine salt Form E, which has the worst solubility, under the conditions of "FaSSIF" and "FeSSIF" is at least 15 times and 16 times higher than that of the compound of formula (I) sodium salt, and is at least 36 times and 16 times higher than that of the compound of formula (I) arginine salt (the solubility of the compound of formula (I) arginine salt under the conditions of "FaSSIF" and "FeSSIF" is not detected, and is calculated according to the detection limit of 0.05 μg / mL).

[0273] Therefore, the solubility of the compound of formula (I) tromethamine salt has achieved an unexpected effect compared with the compound of formula (I) sodium salt and the compound of formula (I) arginine salt.

[0274] (2): The solubility of the compound of formula (I) tromethamine salt Form B in water is 18 times that of the free state; the solubility in FeSSIF (pH = 5.0) is 63 times that of the free state; the solubility in FaSSIF (pH = 6.5) is 15.83 μg / mL, while the free state is not detected (calculated according to the detection limit of 0.05 μg / mL), at least 316 times that of the free state; the solubility of the compound of formula (I) tromethamine salt Form B has achieved an unexpected effect compared with the free state.

[0275] (3): The solubility of the compound of formula (I) tromethamine salt Form Q in water is 4300 times that of the free state; the solubility in FeSSIF (pH = 5.0) is 140 times that of the free state; the solubility in pH 6.8 phosphate buffer is 78 times that of the free state; the solubility in FaSSIF (pH = 6.5) is 60 μg / mL, while the free state is not detected (calculated according to the detection limit of 0.05 μg / mL), at least 1200 times that of the free state; the solubility of the compound of formula (I) tromethamine salt Form Q has achieved an unexpected effect compared with the free state.

[0276] (4) The solubility of the compound of formula (I) tromethamine salt Form B in FaSSIF (pH = 6.5) is 3.6 times that of Form A and 8.8 times that of Form E; the solubility of the tromethamine salt Form B in FeSSIF (pH = 5.0) is 19.7 times that of Form A and 39.4 times that of Form E; the solubility of the compound of formula (I) tromethamine salt Form B has achieved an unexpected effect compared with Form A and Form E.

[0277] (5): The solubility of the compound of formula (I) tromethamine salt Form Q in water is 231 times that of Form B; the solubility in FaSSIF (pH = 6.5) is 14 times that of Form A, 3.8 times that of Form B, and 33 times that of Form E; the solubility of the tromethamine salt Form Q in FeSSIF (pH = 5.0) is 44 times that of Form A, 2.2 times that of Form B, and 88 times that of Form E; the solubility of the compound of formula (I) tromethamine salt Form Q has achieved an unexpected effect compared with Form A, Form B and Form E.

[0278] (6): "FaSSIF" simulates the fasting state of human intestinal fluid; "FeSSIF" simulates the fed state of human intestinal fluid; these two media and water and pH 6.8 phosphate buffer are very important for evaluating the properties and absorption of drugs. The solubility of the aminotrizol Form Q crystal form of the compound of formula (I) in the four media is significantly better than that of the free state and the sodium salt of the compound of formula (I) and the arginine salt of the compound of formula (I), and has very good physicochemical properties and drugability.
