[0002] SYNTHESIS AND CRYSTALLINE FORMS OF A CDK2 INHIBITOR

[0003] FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0004] The invention generally relates to crystalline forms of the CDK2 inhibitor 2'-((3-ethoxy-1 H-pyrazol- 4-yl)amino)-7'-((1 R,3R)-3-hydroxycyclohexyl)spiro[cyclopropane-1 ,5'-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin]- 6'(7'H)-one or a salt and / or solvate thereof, the synthesis thereof, as well as methods of using the forms in the treatment of cancer.

[0005] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0006] CDK2 is a serine / threonine kinase that regulates the mammalian cell cycle. After binding to cyclin- E1 , cyclin-E2, cyclin-A1 or cyclin-A2, the activated CDK2-cyclin complex phosphorylates a variety of cellular substrates (Chi et al 2020). For example, it phosphorylates and inactivates the retinoblastoma protein (pRB), thus de-represses the E2F family of transcription factors that promotes expression of cell cycle related genes (Sherr & Roberts 1999, 2004). As such, CDK2 propels the cell from the G1 phase into S phase of the cell cycle, when nuclear DNA is replicated in preparation of mitosis. CDK2 and its activity are often dysregulated in human cancers (Corsino et al 2008, Ying et al 2018, Nie et al 2019). One such dysregulation mechanism involves, but not limited to, the amplification or overexpression of cyclin-E1 , which leads to hyperactivation of CDK2 and promotes cellular proliferation (Schraml et al. 2003). Depending on lineage, dysregulation of CDK2 / E occurs in up to 40% of human cancers (cbioportal.org), including but not limited to uterine carcinosarcoma (~40%) ovarian (~20%), gastric (~12%), esophageal (~10%), endometrial (~10%), and breast cancers (~10%). Cyclin-E1 amplification and overexpression is also associated with poor prognosis across cancers (Nakayama et al 2010, Zhao et al 2019). In many of these cancers, besides radiation and chemotherapy, there is no targeted therapy available to patients. Thus, the development of a targeted agent against CDK2 would potentially benefit cancer patients.

[0017] Solid state form of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) of a particular drug is often an important determinant of the drug's ease of preparation, hygroscopicity, stability, solubility, storage stability, ease of formulation, rate of dissolution in gastrointestinal fluids and in vivo bioavailability. Crystalline forms occur where the same composition of matter crystallizes in a different lattice arrangement resulting in different thermodynamic properties and stabilities specific to the particular crystalline form. Crystalline forms may also include different hydrates or solvates of the same compound. In deciding which form is preferable, the numerous properties of the forms are compared and the preferred form chosen based on the many physical property variables. It is entirely possible that one form can be preferable in some circumstances where certain aspects such as ease of preparation, stability, etc. are deemed to be critical. In other situations, a different form may be preferred for greater dissolution rate and / or superior bioavailability.

[0018] Therefore, this ability of a chemical substance to crystallize in more than one crystalline form can have a profound effect on the shelf life, solubility, formulation properties, and processing properties of a drug. In addition, the action of a drug can be affected by the polymorphism of the drug molecule. Different polymorphs can have different rates of uptake in the body, leading to lower or higher biological activity than desired. In extreme cases, an undesired polymorph can PAT059659 FF even show toxicity. The occurrence of an unknown crystalline form during manufacture can have a significant impact.

[0019] It is not yet possible to predict whether a particular compound or salt of a compound will form polymorphs, whether any such polymorphs will be suitable for commercial use in a therapeutic composition, or which polymorphs will display such desirable properties.

[0020] SUMMARY

[0021] The polymorphic forms of this invention are designed and optimized to selectively bind to CDK2 which is believed to result in drugs useful in the treatment of above-mentioned cancers. In certain aspects, advantages of the polymorphic forms of the invention include improved melting point, reduced water retention and improved morphology (which can improve flow properties).

[0120] Definitions

[0121] As used herein “polymorph” or “crystalline form” or the like refers to crystalline forms having the same chemical composition but different spatial arrangements of the molecules, atoms, and / or ions forming the crystal.

[0122] As used herein “solvate” refers to a crystalline form of a molecule, atom, and / or ions that further comprises molecules of a solvent or solvents incorporated into the crystalline lattice structure. The solvent molecules in the solvate may be present in a regular arrangement and / or a nonordered arrangement. The solvate may comprise either a stoichiometric or nonstoichiometric PAT059659 FF amount of the solvent molecules. For example, a solvate with a nonstoichiometric amount of solvent molecules may result from partial loss of solvent from the solvate. Solvates may occur as dimers or oligomers comprising more than one molecule or Compound ABC within the crystalline lattice structure. The solvent may be water, in which case the solvent may be referred to as a hydrate.

[0123] As used herein, the term “free form”, “free base” etc. of a given compound refers to a solid state form where the only component present which is solid at ambient conditions (e.g. 20-22 °C, e.g. 21 °C 1 atm) is the said compound. Thus, as used herein, the term “free form” encompasses both unsolvated I unhydrated forms, and solvated I hydrated forms, but excludes salts and cocrystals where the coformer is solid at ambient conditions.

[0124] As used herein, the terms “salt” or “salts” refers to an acid addition or base addition salt of a compound of the present invention. “Salts” include in particular “pharmaceutical acceptable salts”. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” refers to salts that retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the compounds of this invention and, which typically are not biologically or otherwise undesirable. In many cases, the compounds of the present invention are capable of forming acid and / or base salts by virtue of the presence of amino and / or carboxyl groups or groups similar thereto. When both a basic group and an acid group are present in the same molecule, the compounds of the present invention may also form internal salts, e.g., zwitterionic molecules.

[0125] Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts can be formed with inorganic acids and organic acids.

[0126] Inorganic acids from which salts can be derived include, for example, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like.

[0127] Organic acids from which salts can be derived include, for example, acetic acid, propionic acid, glycolic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, toluenesulfonic acid, sulfosalicylic acid, and the like.

[0128] Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts can be formed with inorganic and organic bases.

[0129] Inorganic bases from which salts can be derived include, for example, ammonium salts and metals from columns I to XII of the periodic table. In certain embodiments, the salts are derived from sodium, potassium, ammonium, calcium, magnesium, iron, silver, zinc, and copper; particularly suitable salts include ammonium, potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium salts. PAT059659 FF

[0130] Organic bases from which salts can be derived include, for example, primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, substituted amines including naturally occurring substituted amines, cyclic amines, basic ion exchange resins, and the like. Certain organic amines include isopropylamine, benzathine, cholinate, diethanolamine, diethylamine, lysine, meglumine, piperazine and tromethamine.

[0131] As used herein “amorphous” refers to a solid form of a molecule, atom, and / or ions that is not crystalline. An amorphous solid does not display a definitive X-ray diffraction pattern.

[0132] The term “substantially the same” with reference to X-ray diffraction peak positions means that typical peak position and intensity variability are taken into account. For example, one skilled in the art will appreciate that the peak positions (2©) will show some inter-apparatus variability, typically as much as 0.2°. Further, one skilled in the art will appreciate that relative peak intensities will show inter-apparatus variability as well as variability due to degree of crystallinity, preferred orientation, prepared sample surface, and other factors known to those skilled in the art, and should be taken as qualitative measure only. The person skilled in the art of X-ray powder diffraction is readily able to determine whether a given sample comes from the same polymorph as a reference sample.

[0133] As used herein, the terms “about” and “substantially” indicate with respect to features such as endotherms, endothermic peak, exotherms, baseline shifts, etc., that their values can vary. With reference to X-ray diffraction peak positions, “about” or “substantially” means that typical peak position and intensity variability are taken into account. For example, one skilled in the art will appreciate that the peak positions (29) will show some inter-apparatus variability, typically as much as 0.2°. Occasionally, the variability could be higher than 0.2° depending on apparatus calibration differences. Further, one skilled in the art will appreciate that relative peak intensities will show inter-apparatus variability as well as variability due to degree of crystallinity, preferred orientation, prepared sample surface, and other factors known to those skilled in the art, and should be taken as qualitative measure only. For DSC, variation in the temperatures observed will depend upon the rate of temperature change as well as sample preparation technique and the particular instrument employed. Thus, the endotherm / melting point values reported herein relating to DSC / TGA thermograms can vary ± 2°C (and still be considered to be characteristic of the particular crystalline form described herein). When used in the context of other features, such as, for example, percent by weight (% by weight), reaction temperatures, the term “about” indicates a variance of ± 5%. PAT059659 FF

[0134] As used herein, the term “room temperature” means from about 18 °C to about 25 °C, preferably about 20 °C to about 22 °C, most preferably about 21 °C.

[0135] The term "a therapeutically effective amount" of a crystalline form of the present invention refers to an amount of the crystalline form of the present invention that will elicit the biological or medical response of a subject, for example, reduction or inhibition of an enzyme or a protein activity, or ameliorate symptoms, alleviate conditions, slow or delay disease progression, or prevent a disease, etc.

The use of any and all examples, or exemplary language (e.g. "such as”) provided herein is intended merely to better illuminate the invention and does not pose a limitation on the scope of the invention otherwise claimed.

[0138] As used herein, the term “inhibit”, "inhibition" or “inhibiting” refers to the reduction or suppression of a given condition, symptom, or disorder, or disease, or a significant decrease in the baseline activity of a biological activity or process.

[0139] As used herein, the terms “treat,” “treating,” or “treatment” of any disease or disorder refers in one embodiment, to ameliorating the disease or disorder ( / .e., slowing or arresting or reducing the development of the disease or at least one of the clinical symptoms thereof). In another embodiment, “treat,” “treating,” or “treatment” refers to alleviating or ameliorating at least one physical parameter including those which may not be discernible by the patient. In yet another embodiment, “treat,” “treating,” or “treatment” refers to modulating the disease or disorder, either physically, (e.g., stabilization of a discernible symptom), physiologically, (e.g., stabilization of a physical parameter), or both. In one embodiment, “treat” or “treating” refers to delaying the progression of the disease or disorder.

[0140] As used herein, the term “prevent”, “preventing" or “prevention” of any disease or disorder refers to the prophylactic treatment of the disease or disorder; or delaying the onset of the disease or disorder.

[0141] As used herein, the term “subject” refers to an animal. Preferably, the animal is a mammal. A subject refers to for example, primates (e.g. humans), cows, sheep, goats, horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, mice, fish, birds and the like. In a preferred embodiment, the subject is a human. PAT059659 FF

[0142] As used herein, a subject is “in need of’ or “in need thereof” a treatment if such subject would benefit biologically, medically or in quality of life from such treatment.

[0143] The term “comprising” encompasses “including” as well as “consisting”; e.g., a composition comprising X may consist exclusively of X or may include additional, e.g. X and Y.

[0144] The crystalline form of the present invention may be administered either simultaneously with, or before or after, one or more other therapeutic agent. The crystalline form of the present invention may be administered separately, by the same or different route of administration, or together in the same pharmaceutical composition as the other agents. A therapeutic agent is, for example, a chemical compound, peptide, antibody, antibody fragment or nucleic acid, which is therapeutically active or enhances the therapeutic activity when administered to a patient in combination with a compound of the present invention.

[0145] In the combination therapies of the invention, the crystalline form of the present invention and the other therapeutic agent may be manufactured and / or formulated by the same or different manufacturers. Moreover, the crystalline form of the present invention and the other therapeutic may be brought together into a combination therapy: (i) prior to release of the combination product to physicians (e.g. in the case of a kit comprising the crystalline form of the present invention and the other therapeutic agent); (ii) by the physician themselves (or under the guidance of the physician) shortly before administration; (iii) in the patient themselves, e.g. during sequential administration of the crystalline form of the present invention and the other therapeutic agent.

[0146] As used herein, the term “carrier” or "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" includes any and all solvents, dispersion media, coatings, surfactants, antioxidants, preservatives (e.g., antibacterial agents, antifungal agents), isotonic agents, absorption delaying agents, salts, preservatives, drug stabilizers, binders, excipients, disintegration agents, lubricants, sweetening agents, flavoring agents, dyes, and the like and combinations thereof, as would be known to those skilled in the art (see, for example, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th Ed. Mack Printing Company, 1990, pp. 1289- 1329). Except insofar as any conventional carrier is incompatible with the active ingredient, its use in the therapeutic or pharmaceutical compositions is contemplated.

[0147] The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable” is employed herein to refer to those compounds, materials, compositions, and / or dosage forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and animals without PAT059659 FF excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio.

[0148] Generally, the term “pharmaceutical composition” is defined herein to refer to a mixture or solution containing at least one therapeutic agent to be administered to a subject, e.g., a mammal or human. The present pharmaceutical combinations can be formulated in a suitable pharmaceutical composition for enteral or parenteral administration are, for example, those in unit dosage forms, such as sugar-coated tablets, tablets, capsules or suppositories, or ampoules. If not indicated otherwise, these are prepared in a manner known per se, for example by means of various conventional mixing, comminution, direct compression, granulating, sugar-coating, dissolving, lyophilizing processes, or fabrication techniques readily apparent to those skilled in the art. It will be appreciated that the unit content of a combination partner contained in an individual dose of each dosage form need not in itself constitute an effective amount since the necessary effective amount may be reached by administration of a plurality of dosage units. The pharmaceutical composition may contain, from about 0.1 % to about 99.9%, preferably from about 1 % to about 60 %, of the therapeutic agent(s). One of ordinary skill in the art may select one or more of the aforementioned carriers with respect to the particular desired properties of the dosage form by routine experimentation and without any undue burden. The amount of each carriers used may vary within ranges conventional in the art. The following references disclose techniques and excipients used to formulate oral dosage forms. See The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients, 4th edition, Rowe et al., Eds., American Pharmaceuticals Association (2003); and Remington: the Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 20th edition, Gennaro, Ed., Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (2003). These optional additional conventional carriers may be incorporated into the oral dosage form either by incorporating the one or more conventional carriers into the initial mixture before or during granulation or by combining the one or more conventional carriers with granules comprising the combination of agents or individual agents of the combination of agents in the oral dosage form. In the latter embodiment, the combined mixture may be further blended, e.g., through a V-blender, and subsequently compressed or molded into a tablet, for example a monolithic tablet, encapsulated by a capsule, or filled into a sachet. Clearly, the pharmaceutical combinations of the present invention can be used to manufacture a medicine.

[0149] The present invention relates to such pharmaceutical combinations or pharmaceutical compositions that are particularly useful as a medicine.

[0150] Specifically, the combinations or compositions of the present invention can be applied in the treatment of cancer. PAT059659 FF

[0151] The term “cancer” refers to a disease characterized by the rapid and uncontrolled growth of aberrant cells. Cancer cells can spread locally or through the bloodstream and lymphatic system to other parts of the body. Examples of various cancers are described herein and include but are not limited to colorectal, gastric, endometrial, prostate, adrenocortical, uterine, cervical, esophageal, breast, kidney, ovarian cancer and the like.

[0152] The terms “tumor” and “cancer” are used interchangeably herein, e.g., both terms encompass solid and liquid, e.g., diffuse or circulating, tumors. As used herein, the term “cancer” or “tumor” includes premalignant, as well as malignant cancers and tumors.

[0153] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs.

[0172] Example 2 - CDK Biochemical Assays

[0173] Biochemical assays measured the inhibitory effects of compounds in this disclosure on the enzymatic activity of CDK enzyme in complex with Cyclin protein partner by phosphorylation of Ser-780 (S780) on retinoblastoma protein peptide (RB1) in the presence of 1 mM adenosime-5 — triphosphate (ATP) and varying concentration of test compound in 20 mM 2-[4-(2- PAT059659 FF hydroxyethyl)paperazin-1-yl] ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES), pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCI2, 1 mM dithiothreitol (DTT), 0.01 % bovine serum albumin (BSA), 0.005% Tween 20. Total Reaction volume of 10 pL proceeded for 60 minutes at room temperature (25°C) and were quenched with 5 pL of 200 mM 2',2",2"'-(Ethane-1 ,2-diyldinitrilo)tetraacetic acid (EDTA) pH 8.0 before addition of 5 pL detection solution containing 100 nM fluorophore conjugate streptavidin allophycocyanin (SA-APC), 2 nM Europium labelled Anti-p-RB(S780)-K (Perkin Elmer, 64CUSKAY), 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 400 mM potassium fluoride (KF), 0.1 % BSA, and 0.01 % Tween-20. Phosphorylation of S780 on RB1 peptide (His-MBP-RB1 [773-924] - SEQ ID NO. 9) was detected by TR-FRET after 3 hour incubation with detection solution. Percent phosphorylation activity was plotted against log concentration of compound to generate an apparent IC5o. The following CDK enzyme in complex with different cyclin proteins and protein peptide substrate were used in these assays:

[0174] CDK1 / CyclinB1 , Avi-tag, 10 pM used in the assay

[0175] CDK2 / CyclinE1 , Avi-tag, 100 pM used in the assay

[0176] CDK4 / cyclinD1 , Avi-tag, 20 pM used in the assay CDK6 / cyclinD3, Avi-tag, 10 pM used in the assay His-MBP-RB1 [773-924], Avi-tag, 200 nM used in the assay

[0177] The avi-tag is a C-terminal fusion on the CDK1 / 2 / 4 / 6 sequence in each of these two-protein complexes. The known avi-tag sequence, GLNDIFEAQKIEWHE (SEQ ID NO. 10), is a substrate for E. coli biotin ligase BirA, which covalently attaches a biotin molecule to the e-amino group of the lysine in that sequence. The avi-tag is attached with an 8 amino-acid linker sequence GGSGGGGS (SEQ ID NO. 11), resulting in the full C-terminal fusion GGSGGGGSGLNDIFEAQKIEWHE (SEQ ID NO. 12).

[0178] The sequences of the recombinant proteins used here are provided below.

[0179] Recombinant proteins were generated as N-terminal fusions of 9x His tag - E. coli Maltose Binding Protein (MBP), with or without a C-terminal Avi-tag.1CDK2 and His-MBP-RB1 [773-924]- c-avi were expressed in E. coli while the remainder were expressed in Sf21 insect cells. Genes were synthesized commercially (GeneArt and Twist Bioscience) using codon frequencies appropriate to the respective organisms and proprietary codon optimization strategies, and inserted into pET 24 (E. coli) or pDEST8 (insect) vectors already containing the 9x His-MBP tag using standard methods of PCR and Gibson Assembly.2E. coli expression was performed by auto-induction overnight at 18 or 21 C. For insect cell expression, bacmids and viruses were PAT059659 FF created,3then used to synchronously infect Sf21 insect cells with harvest at 40-48 hrs., per standard protocols.4

[0180] For CDK2 / Cyclin E and CDK1 / Cyclin B, the CDK and Cyclin proteins were expressed separately, lysed by sonication and clarified by centrifugation. The fusion proteins were each separately purified by immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) (5 mL HisTrap, Cytiva) and Superdex 200 26 / 60 (Cytiva) size-exclusion and complexed in vitro (1-3 hrs incubation at room temperature) prior to tag cleavage by recombinant his-tagged Tobacco Etch Virus protease or his-tagged Human rhinovirus 3C protease, as appropriate. The cleaved complex is further purified by Superdex 75 26 / 60 (Cytiva) size-exclusion followed by reverse-IMAC, in which the complex is in the column flow-through and residual His-MBP and his-tagged proteases are retained. The final complex is concentrated as desired by centrifugal concentration (Amicon Ultra 10,000 Da MWCO 15 mL concentrators, Millipore).

[0181] For E. coli expressed CDK2 and His-MBP-RB1 [773-924]-c-avi, the proteins were biotinylated in vitro after the first IMAC step.1

[0182] For CDK4 / Cyclin D1 and CDK6 / Cyclin D3, the complexes were expressed by simultaneous coinfection of insect cells by three separate viruses including one expressing untagged E. coli BirA. The expression media is supplemented with 50 uM d-biotin. The resulting protein complexes purified similarly. After lysis and clarification, the complex is purified by IMAC, Superdex 20026 / 60 size exclusion, tag cleavage by human rhinovirus 3C protease, Superdex 75 26 / 60 size exclusion and reverse IMAC. BirA is typically not retained on the first IMAC, and excess CDK or Cyclin monomer is separated on the Superdex 200 size exclusion. Cleaved His-MBP and remaining monomer are removed by the Superdex 75 size exclusion and the reverse IMAC step. Final concentration by centrifugal concentrators as described above.

[0183] For the is-MBP-RB1 [773-924]-c-avi, the protein was lysed by sonication and clarified by centrifugation. After IMAC capture and in vitro biotinylation, the fusion protein is purified by Q HP HiTrap (Cytiva) with a gradient elution after binding in low salt, followed by SP HP HiTrap (Cytiva) with a gradient elution. The material is finally purified on a Superdex 75 26 / 60 as a polishing step. Although there is a TEV protease cleavage site in this construct, it is not removed for this purpose. Final concentration by centrifugal concentrators as described above.

[0418] DSC Method

[0419] 1-3 mg of sample was placed in an aluminium T-zero crucible that closed with a pin-hole lid. The heating rate was 10°C per minute in the temperature range between 0 and 300°C. Temperatures are reported in degrees Celsius (°C) and enthalpies are reported in Joules per gram (J / g). Plots are showing endothermic peaks as down. The endothermic melt peak (melting point) was evaluated for extrapolated onset temperature. The accuracy of the measured sample temperature with this method is within about ±1 °C, and the heat of fusion can be measured within a relative error of about ±5%. PAT059659 FF

[0420] TGA Method

[0421] TGA curves were obtained using a TA Discovery TGA instrument. 2-1 Omg of sample was placed into an aluminum crucible and closed with a pin-hole lid. The TGA curve was measured at a heating rate of 10°C / min between 30-300°C. The LoD (Loss of drying) was calculated between 30°C and 200°C. The weight loss is plotted against the measured sample temperature. Temperatures are reported in degrees Celsius (°C) and weight loss in %.

[0422] Results

[0423] The melting (onset) temperature of the 2'-((3-ethoxy-1 H-pyrazol-4-yl)amino)-7'-((1 R,3R)-3- hydroxycyclohexyl)spiro[cyclopropane-1 ,5'-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin]-6'(7'H)-one made by the method of Example 3 is significantly higher (252.52 °C) than that of PCT / IB2024 / 051412 I Comparative Eaxamplel (241.62 °C). Further, the PCT / IB2024 / 051412 I Comparative Example 1 product has a noticeable weight loss due to water loss at 123.77 °C. The product made by Example 3 does not have a significant water loss around this temperature.

[0424] Example 10 - Physicochemical Properties

[0425] The free form of Example 3, the hydrochloride salt, the mesylate salt, and the phosphoric acid cocrystal were analyzed to have > 99 % chemical and chiral purity. Both hydrochloride and mesylate salts were determined to have a (1 :1) stoichiometry. At 1 % concentration, salts resulted in a clear solution with a pH of 3. However, the free form resulted in a suspension (pH 7). In biorelevant media and in pH buffers, no significant improvement of solubility was noticed. Salt / cocrystal formation resulted only in an improved water solubility from 0.01 mg / mL to 1 .2 mg / mL. In general, solubility increased with a decrease in the pH of the medium.

[0426] Example 11 - Morphic Properties

[0427] The free form of Example 3, the hydrochloride salt, the mesylate salt, and the phosphoric acid cocrystal are crystalline. The phosphoric acid form is a cocrystal given the small pKA differences between o-phosphoric acid and the 2'-((3-ethoxy-1 H-pyrazol-4-yl)amino)-7'-((1 R,3R)-3- hydroxycyclohexyl)spiro[cyclopropane-1 ,5'-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin]-6'(7'H)-one, and is unstable under DVS, grinding, and wet granulation experiments.

[0428] However, the two salts (hydrochloride and mesylate) and the free form were found to be unaffected by grinding, granulation, and compression. The phosphoric acid cocrystal has a melting point of 179 °C, while the salts have melting points in the range of 224-241 °C. The free form showed a glass transition temperature of 130 °C. Glass transitions of hydrochloride and PAT059659 FF mesylate appeared at about 180 °C and 225 °C, respectively. DVS isotherm plots showed that at 80 % relative humidity exposure, the free form and the mesylate salt absorb about 0.6% moisture, while the hydrochloride acid salt adsorbs 1.9% moisture. In the vibration study (phosphoric acid cocrystal was not performed), only the hydrochloride salt was found to change its XRPD pattern in aqueous medium.

[0429] SEM images were taken of the free base form of 2'-((3-ethoxy-1 H-pyrazol-4-yl)amino)-7'- ((1 R,3R)-3-hydroxycyclohexyl)spiro[cyclopropane-1 ,5'-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin]-6'(7'H)-one formed by the method of Example 3 (see Figure 9, right hand side) as compared to the method of PCT / IB2024 / 051412 I Comparative Example 1 (see Figure 9, left hand side), showing the improvement in crystal morphology.
