Abstract
Description
Attorney Docket No: 01330-0113-00PCT PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS OF ENT1 INHIBITORS FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present disclosure relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising an ENT1 inhibitor and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. In some embodiments, the ENT1 inhibitor selected from Compound 1 or a hydrate or solvate thereof, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. In some embodiments, the excipient is a diluent.Compound 1 BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY
[0002] The equilibrative nucleoside transporter (ENT) family, also known as SLC29, is a group of plasmalemmal transport proteins which transport nucleoside substrates into cells. There are four known ENTs, designated ENT1, ENT2, ENT3, and ENT4. Inhibitors of ENT have been found to be useful in treatment of a variety of conditions, such as cancer. See, e.g., WO 2021 / 204896, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein by reference.
[0003] Novel macrocyclic diamine selective ENT inhibitors have recently been disclosed. See, e.g., WO 2021 / 204896, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein by reference. For example, (12R)-74,75-dimethoxy-6-oxo-8-oxa-5-aza-1(1,4)-diazepana-7(1,3)- benzenacyclotetradecaphane-12-yl 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate (Compound 10 in WO 2021 / 204896) has been shown to effectively inhibit ENT1. See id. at p. 197 (showing Compound 10 exhibits an IC50 between 0.001 and 0.02 µM in a human ENT1 binding assay). However, that compound (called “Compound 1” or “Compound 1 (free base)” herein and with the formula shown below)Attorney Docket No: 01330-0113-00PCTCompound 1 as prepared in WO 2021 / 204896 was an amorphous free base. Amorphous free base solids tend to be less stable than crystalline and / or salt forms. Indeed, amorphous Compound 1 (free base) was found to be hygroscopic and have a propensity to absorb at least moderate amounts of water. As such, Compound 1 (free base) was found to be difficult to process and manufacture into pharmaceutical compositions, such as solid dosage forms (e.g., tablets and capsules).
[0004] Further, even crystalline and / or salt forms of pharmaceutical compositions are not always easy to process and manufacture. For example, Compound 1 was prepared as a variety of different salts. One crystalline salt form was identified as being particularly stable - crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 di(hydrogen sulfate) trihydrate. However, even this crystalline salt was challenging to process and manufacture into pharmaceutical compositions such as solid dosage forms, including tablets and capsules. Accordingly, there is a need for a suitable pharmaceutical composition of Compound 1 and hydrates, solvates, and salts thereof, including compositions in a solid dosage form, such as a tablet or capsule.
[0005] In addition, in the context of pharmaceutical development, the choice between tablets and capsules can be important, particularly when considering patient acceptability and adherence. For example, tablets, such as film-coated tablets, are generally smaller than capsules for the same dosage strength due to the compression process. This size difference can be an important consideration in terms of patient acceptability, as smaller tablets tend to be easier to swallow, especially for populations such as the elderly or those with dysphagia. Further, film-coated tablets offer additional functional benefits. For example, the coating can mask unpleasant tastes or odors, and protect the active ingredient from environmental factors.
[0006] However, the complexity in manufacturing film-coated tablets, which involves multiple steps such as blending, optional granulation, tableting, and coating, is greater compared to capsules. Tableting involves compressing a powder blend or granules into tablets. It requires control over compression force and tablet weight. Variations in theseAttorney Docket No: 01330-0113-00PCT parameters can affect the tablet’s hardness, disintegration time, and overall quality of the final drug product.
[0007] The film coating process is also challenging. It involves applying a uniform layer of coating material to each tablet, which can be difficult to achieve consistently. The coating must be uniform to ensure proper drug release and protection of the API from environmental factors.

Preparation 1 of Crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 di(hydrogen sulfate) trihydrate
[0293] In this preparation method, a sample of Compound 1 (which is a free base) and 6 vol. of IPA / water (75:25% v / v) were added to a 20 mL scintillation vial. 2.05 mole equivalents of sulfuric acid were added as a solution in 2 vol. of IPA / water (75:35% v / v) . The solution was stirred for about one hour at 40°C. The temperature was then cycled between 40°C and 5°C with a 0.1 °C / min ramp and a one hour hold between each step. After about 48 hours of cycling, a clear solution was still observed. Up to 6 vol. of anti-solvent (tBME) was added to 40°C to facilitate precipitation. The experiment (now a slurry) was further temperature cycled for 24 hours. The solids were then isolated via vacuum filtration and dried under vacuum at about 40°C for 48 hours. The damp and dried solids were subsampled and analyzed by XRPD and shown to be crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 di(hydrogen sulfate) trihydrate as shown in FIG. 2. TG / DSC data show a mass loss of 7.3% corresponding to an endothermic event with an onset of 67°C which is likely due to water loss (approximating 3.6 mole equivalents of water) (FIG. 3). DSC shows an endotherm at an onset of 144°C, which is consistent with a melting event (FIG. 4) whereas a small melting event was observed in the TG / DSC data with an onset of 130°C.
[0294] KF analysis shows a water content of 6.74%.1H-NMR is consistent with the Compound 1 (free base) structure with peak shifts indicating salt formation (FIG. 5). A DVS experiment (FIG. 6 and FIG. 7) shows a moisture uptake of about 6.3% between 0 and 10% RH with a more gradual uptake of 1.7% as RH is raised to 80% from 10%. Example 2. Preparation 2 of Crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 di(hydrogen sulfate) trihydrate
[0295] Approximately 1.5 g of Compound 1 was added to three 20 mL scintillation vials. 5 mL of 2-propanol:water (75:25 % v / v) was added to each vial, and the samples were stirred at 40°C. 2.05 mole equiv. of H2SO4 was added to each sample as solutions in 5 mL of propanol:water (75:25 % v / v). Clear solutions were observed in all samples. Stirring continued at 40°C for about 1.5 hours after addition of H2SO4. tBME was then added to each sample, also at 40°C, as an anti-solvent in 1 mL aliquots until the solutions turned cloudy.Attorney Docket No: 01330-0113-00PCT The samples were then temperature-cycled between 40°C and 5°C for about 20 hours with 0.1 °C / min ramp and a 1 hour hold between steps. The resultant slurries were subsampled, and solids isolated via centrifugation. The isolated solids were analyzed by XRPD. The remainder of the slurries were vacuum filtered as one sample using a Buchner funnel. The filter cake was dried under vacuum at 40°C for 48 hours. 4.87 g of crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 di(hydrogen sulfate) trihydrate was obtained; isolated yield = 81 %. An XRPD pattern was collected confirming crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 di(hydrogen sulfate) trihydrate (FIG. 8). A Raman spectrum was also collected (FIG. 9). Example 3. Preparation 3 of Crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 di(hydrogen sulfate) trihydrate
[0296] 253.75 g of a mixture of crystalline Form 1 Compound 1 (free base) and crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 (free base) (see Example 5 below) was added to a 5 L temperature- controlled reactor. 1.10 L of 1-propanol:water (80:20 %v / v) was added to the reactor, followed by stirring at 50°C at 100 RPM. 2.5 equivalents of sulfuric acid (95 %wt.) were added to the reactor as a solution in 0.17 L of the solvent system, achieving a concentration of about 200 mg / mL. The experiment was equilibrated at 50°C, cooled to 40°C and seeded with 1% crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 di(hydrogen sulfate) trihydrate. The seed crystal can be prepared methods such as those disclosed herein. Post-seeding, equilibration of ca. 6 hr was applied. The stirring speed was increased to 120 RPM during the equilibration period. The experiment was cooled to 20°C at 0.2 °C / min and equilibrated at 20°C for 1 hour. At 20°C, anti-solvent addition with 1-propanol was carried out at 0.25 L / hr. 2.96 L of 1- propanol was added to reach a final ratio of 94:6 %v / v. The stirring speed was increased to 190 RPM during the addition. Equilibration at 20°C for about 1 hour was applied post- addition followed by cooling to 5°C at 0.2 °C / min and stirring at 5°C for about 20 hours. The resulting slurry was vacuum filtered, and the resulting isolated cake was washed with 0.5 L of the precooled resulting solvent system. The filter cake was dried under vacuum at 40°C for 4 days. The dried solids were exposed to ambient conditions for about 20 hours to allow time for moisture equilibration. The moisture content of the solids after about 20 hours of exposure to ambient condition was measured as 4.33 %w / w. The solids were then re-exposed to ambient conditions for 2 days to allow time for further moisture uptake and equilibration during which time the solids were manually mixed intermittently.Attorney Docket No: 01330-0113-00PCT
[0297] The resulting solids were shown to be crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 di(hydrogen sulfate) trihydrate by XRPD. FIG. 10 shows the material before drying, after drying, and after drying and moisture equilibration. All diffractograms are those of crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 di(hydrogen sulfate) trihydrate. An isolated yield of 80.4% was obtained, with the theoretical yield estimated as 80.3% (based on the concentrations of the extracted mother liquor and wash). The purity of the dried solids was determined as >99.99 % area by HPLC and GC indicated about 0.12% by weight residual 1-propanol.
[0298] PLM showed the particle to be birefringent after anti-solvent addition at 20°C, as damp solids, after drying, and after moisture equilibration (FIG. 11). According to KF measurements, a water content on average of 4.33% w / w was measured after about 21 hours of re-exposure to ambient conditions, which increased to 6.07% after another 48 hours. A water content of 6.14% is the theoretical content for a trihydrate.
[0299] Particle size-measurements were taken before and after complete equilibration (moisture content of 4.33% and then later 6.07%). FIG. 12 is an overlay of the two measurements showing the difference in particle size distributions. The data are summarized in Table 1 below: Table 1: Particle Size Measurements After Equilibration Before complete equilibration; After complete equilibration; 24 hr post-drying 3 days post-drying (moisture content = 4.33%) (moisture content = 6.07%) D1017.596 µm 6.32 µm D5046.785 µm 32.90 µm D90109.799 µm 84.73 µm
[0300] These data show that the average particle size decreased with longer equilibration times and higher water contents.
[0301] TG / DSC thermograms are presented in FIG. 13 of a fully equilibrated sample of crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 di(hydrogen sulfate) trihydrate. The data reveal a mass loss of about 6.4% between about 20°C and 130°C, which corresponded with an endothermic event at about 61°C, both of which are likely due to solvent / water loss. A small endothermic event with a peak onset of about 150°C may be due to melting and the thermal events above 200°C are likely due to degradation. A DSC thermogram is provided in FIG. 14 showingAttorney Docket No: 01330-0113-00PCT thermal events at onsets of about 89°C and about 148°C. The lower one is likely dehydration whereas the higher one is a melting event.
[0302] 1H-NMR spectra were collected on crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 di(hydrogen sulfate) trihydrate and the spectrum was consistent with the di(hydrogen sulfate) structure (FIG. 15).
[0303] An FT-IR spectrum of crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 di(hydrogen sulfate) trihydrate are shown in FIG. 16. Example 4. Single Crystal Study of Crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 di(hydrogen sulfate) trihydrate
[0304] A single crystal of crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 di(hydrogen sulfate) trihydrate was prepared in the following manner. Approximately 10 mg of amorphous Compound 1 di(hydrogen sulfate) (prepared as described in Example 6(B)). was added to a 2 mL vial, into which 100 µL of 2-ethoxyethanol was added. Complete dissolution was observed at ambient temperature (ca. 20°C). The solvent was then allowed to evaporate at ambient conditions for 3 days. Post-evaporation, the residual solid was observed to be clear block-like particles, which were analyzed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. FIGs. 17 and 18 show a single crystal structure drawing of crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 di(hydrogen sulfate) trihydrate at 100K in two different orientations. Simulated XRPD diffractograms were calculated for structures collected at 295 K and 100 K, respectively (FIG. 19), and compared to an experimental (room temperature) diffractogram (FIG. 20). The simulated diffractogram showed good correlation with the experimental diffractogram indicating that the structure presented in this data is representative of the bulk material. Example 5. Preparation of Crystalline Form 1 Compound 1 (free base) and Crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 (free base)
[0305] Approximately 100 mg of amorphous Compound 1 (free base) (see Example 6A) was weighed into a 1.5 mL screw-cap vial. Acetonitrile was added in 100 μL aliquots while stirring at 40°C until the material dissolved (500 μL). The solution was stirred at 40°C for 0.25 hr and then cooled to 5°C at 0.1°C / min. A thick slurry (poorly mixed) was obtained at ca. 30°C and so 200 μL of tBME was added as anti-solvent, but the slurry dissolved. After 11 hr at 5°C, a slurry was obtained. A portion of the slurry was isolated by centrifugation (0.22 μm nylon filter) and analyzed by XRPD. The isolated solids were consistent with a mixtureAttorney Docket No: 01330-0113-00PCT of crystalline Form 1 Compound 1 (free base) and crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 (free base), which dried to crystalline Form 1 Compound 1 (free base).
[0306] Further aliquots of tBME were added to the remaining slurry (total of 600 μL), but dissolution was observed. Aliquots of heptane (3 × 100 μL) were added, but solution remained. Material was recovered by rotary evaporation and re-slurried in acetonitrile, then isolated by centrifugation (0.22 μm nylon filter) and analyzed by XRPD and found to be crystalline Form 1 Compound 1 (free base).
[0307] All liquors were evaporated to recover material. Solids were dried under vacuum at 35°C for ca. 21 hr and then re-analyzed by XRPD. The solids were found to be crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 (free base), which dried to crystalline Form 1 Compound 1 (free base) with some loss of crystallinity. FIG. 21 is a stackplot of XRPD patterns taken during this experiment including crystalline Form 1 Compound 1 (free base) and crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 (free base) reference patterns. FIG. 22 is a separate XRPD pattern of crystalline Form 1 Compound 1 (free base) and FIG. 23 is a separate XRPD Pattern of crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 (free base) each prepared separately.
[0308] Hot stage microscopy showed that crystalline Form 1 Compound 1 (free base) started to melt at 65°C, with melting complete at 80°C. DVS analysis indicated that crystalline Form 1 Compound 1 (free base) was slightly hygroscopic with water uptake of 0.9% between 40- 80% RH in the first sorption cycle. A further uptake of 3.8% between 80-90% RH likely resulted in formation of amorphous material, which was then moderately hygroscopic (uptake of 3.3% at 80% RH) in the second sorption cycle. Post-DVS XRPD analysis indicated that predominantly amorphous material was recovered (traces of crystalline Form 1 Compound 1 (free base)) as shown in FIG. 24. Example 6. Preparation of Amorphous Compound 1 (free base) and Amorphous Compound 1 di(hydrogen sulfate)
[0309] (A) Amorphous Compound 1 (free base) was used to prepare different crystalline forms. Compound 1 (free base) can be prepared as described by, for example, WO 2021 / 204896 or as described by WO 2023 / 056910, for example, as well.
[0310] (B) Amorphous Compound 1 di(hydrogen sulfate) was used to prepare the single crystal that was used in the Single Crystal Study (see Example 4 above). The amorphous Compound 1 di(hydrogen sulfate) was prepared as follows. Approximately 2.5 g of crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 di(hydrogen sulfate) trihydrate (see, e.g., Example 4) wasAttorney Docket No: 01330-0113-00PCT added to a 250 mL conical flask. 100 mL of methanol was added to the flask to dissolve the solid at ambient temperature. When complete dissolution was observed, the solvent was removed under vacuum via rotary evaporation. An amorphous solid resulted as determined by XRPD (FIG. 25).1H-NMR analysis of a solution of the compound prepared from the solid material was consistent with the1H-NMR spectrum of Compound 1. Example 7. Analytical Methods for the Characterization of crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 di(hydrogen sulfate) trihydrate tablets. All materials used are detailed in Table 2. All USP testing was performed according to USP2023 Issue 3 released on 01 June 2023.

[0311] Particle size distribution (PSD) analysis was carried out using a Sympatec HELOS laser diffraction particle size analyzer on two batches of crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 di(hydrogen sulfate) trihydrate – Batch A and Batch B. In addition, samples of Batch A andAttorney Docket No: 01330-0113-00PCT Batch B were screened through a 125μm sieve and then analyzed. The analysis was carried out with the following settings, in triplicate: Dispersing pressure: 2 bar; Vacuum pressure: ~105 mbar; Lens: R5 (0.5-875.0 μm). Approximately 50 mg of the API-DS (i.e., crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 di(hydrogen sulfate) trihydrate) was placed into small Aspiros tubes (small glass vials) and actuated by the instrument for each measurement. Blend Characterization
[0312] Bulk and Tapped Density - The bulk and tapped density of the blends was measured using a Copley JV1000 Tapped Density Tester, with a method according to USP <616> Bulk Density and Tapped Density of Powders. Each blend was carefully poured into a 25 mL graduated cylinder. The powder weight and unsettled volume were recorded. The cylinder was tapped 500 times, then a further 750 times, then in increments of 1250 taps until there was no further measurable decrease in tapped volume. Bulk density, tapped density, Carr’s Index, and the Hausner ratio were calculated for each sample. Carr’s Index formula: (ρtapped-ρbulk) / ρtapped*100, with ρtapped: the tapped bulk density of the material (kg / m3); ρbulk: the loose bulk density of the material (kg / m3). Hausner ratio formula: H = ρtapped / ρbulk, with ρtapped: the tapped bulk density of the material (kg / m3); ρbulk: the loose bulk density of the material (kg / m3).

[0314] Tablet Compression and Compressibility Assessment - The compressibility assessment has been performed using 8mm flat faced round tooling aiming for 200mg tablet size. The die is manually filled with the required quantity of powder as per the tablet weight and then it is compressed on single-station laboratory tablet press. A set of compression forces were established based on previous experience / expected instrument tolerances. Forces used: 0.26, 0.52, 0.78, 1.04, 1.30, 1.56 metric tonnes.
[0315] This is equivalent to 50-300 MPa for 8mm round tooling. N=3 tablets were compressed for each set of forces.
[0316] Hardness Testing - Tablet breaking force was measured using a Copley Hardness Tester (TH3 / 500) in accordance with USP <1217> Tablet Breaking Force. Any caplet shaped tablets were tested lengthways.
[0317] Friability Testing - Friability testing of tablets was performed according to USP <1216> Tablet Friability using a Copley Friability Tester (FRV 1000). The tester was used toAttorney Docket No: 01330-0113-00PCT rotate the tablets 100 times at a speed of 25 RPM for 4 minutes. Results were evaluated according to the USP so that post-rotation, no tablets should be obviously cracked, cleaved, or broken and the maximum mean weight loss was calculated based on tablet weight pre- and post-rotation, and be less than 1.0% w / w.
[0318] Disintegration Testing - Disintegration time of tablets was tested using a Copley DTG 2000, containing DI water at 37 °C according to USP <701> Disintegration. Tablets were agitated until no palpable mass was remaining in the baskets. Time recorded for each of the tablets tested and average calculated and reported.
[0319] Dissolution Testing - The dissolution parameters are presented in Table 4. Table 4: Dissolution Method Parameters Parameter Specification Apparatus Paddles / USP II Speed 75 rpm Media and Volume 500mL of 0.1 M HCl Media Temperature 37.0 ± 0.5 °C Timepoints 15, 20, 30, 45, and 60 mins Cannula filters None 0.45 µm Nylon syringe filter or Sample Preparation centrifuge Sinkers Not required* Sampling Method 5 mL Manual, no replacement *Tablets sink in the vessel, sinkers not required. Heckel test
[0320] In these studies, a known weight of a blend was compacted to theoretical zero porosity using 10 mm diameter faced punches at low and fast punch speed (0.1 mm / s to 300 mm / s). During compression, the locations of the punch tips were accurately determined and the compression force was recorded. Data were processed by the compaction analysis software to generate values for yield pressure (Py) using Heckel equation: ln(1 / 1-D)=kP+A (with D relative density of the compact, P pressure, K gradient of the line in the linear region).” Strain rate sensitivity (SSR) was defined as the potency of some materials toAttorney Docket No: 01330-0113-00PCT exhibit different deformation characteristics in function of the force applied. The SSR was determined as = 100 x (Py fast - Py Slow) / Py slow. Example 8. Process for Manufacturing and Testing of Initial Blend Formulations of Crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 Di(hydrogen Sulfate) Trihydrate Characterization of Crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 Di(hydrogen Sulfate) Trihydrate (“API- DS”)
[0321] PSD methods are described in Example 7 and PSD results are presented in Table 5. Table 5: PSD Results for Crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 Di(hydrogen Sulfate) Trihydrate API-DS X10(µm) X50(µm) X90(µm) VMD (µm) Batch A9.04 41.51 160.01 64.54Batch A 6.84 29.89 86.20 39.15 (125µm screened) Batch B3.26 16.85 71.91 29.44Batch B 2.98 15.56 59.72 25.02 (125µm screened)
[0322] The data shows that the implementation of the screening step (as described in Example 7) aids the uniformity of the particle size distribution. Compound 1 (free base) loading was set to 5% and the screen size used in the screening step was set to 250 µm. Lactose Compatibility Assessment
[0323] The compatibility between the API-DS, which can be prepared according to Examples 1-4 for example, and lactose was tested. A binary mix of API-DS, Batch A and lactose was prepared as 1 part Compound 1 and 3 parts lactose by weight. Because Compound 1 was prepared as a di(hydrogen sulfate) trihydrate salt, it has a higher molecular weight (879.94 g / mol) as compared with Compound 1, which is a free base (629.75 g / mol). Thus, to have a 1:4 weight ratio of Compound 1 (free base) to lactose, the amount of API-DS used was multiplied by 1.4 to account for the differences in molecular weight. Thus, a 1:4 by weight mixture of Compound 1 to lactose contains about 35% by weight of the API-DS to about 65% lactose (corrected for salt in that the salt used is 40% heavier than the free base.) UnlessAttorney Docket No: 01330-0113-00PCT stated otherwise, all tablets and blends made in the Examples herein were made with the API- DS and not the free base.
[0324] In this study, the mixtures of API-DS and lactose were prepared in a scintillation vial that was placed loosely capped in the oven at 40°C for 14 days. A T=0 of the same binary sample mix and placebo (lactose only) was prepared on the day of the analysis; all samples were tested together in duplicate. Results presented in Table 6. Table 6: Lactose Compatibility Results Sample T=0 T=2 weeks Binary mix RRT 1.13 = 0.06% RRT 1.13 = 0.06% Lactose: API-DS RRT 1.39 = 0.12% RRT 1.39 = 0.12% Initial blend formulations using API-DS, Batch A
[0325] Four initial blends were prepared using API-DS, Batch A at 50g scale. Excipients were screened through a 1 mm sieve without using a sieve brush. API-DS, Batch A was screened through a 250 µm sieve using a sieve brush. The appropriate amount of API-DS and excipients for the blend were weighed. For each blend, using an appropriate size amber jar, the materials were added in the following order:
[0326] Composition A1: ½ Diluent → API-DS → ½ Diluent
[0327] Composition A2-A4: ½ Diluent → API-DS →Disintegrant → Glidant → ½ Diluent
[0328] Each blend was then further mixed on the Turbula T2F blender for 20 minutes at 32 RPM. Magnesium stearate was added, and the powder was blended for a further 2 minutes at 32 RPM.
[0329] Formulations of exemplary initial blend formulations are shown in Table 7 below. Table 7. Formulations of Exemplary Initial Blend Formulations Using API-DS, Batch A Composition Formulation A1 7.00% API-DS, Batch A 92.00% StarTab®1.00% Magnesium Stearate A2 7.00% API-DS, Batch A 86.00% StarTab®5.00% CrospovidoneAttorney Docket No: 01330-0113-00PCT 1.00% Aerosil 1.00% Magnesium Stearate A3 7.00% API-DS, Batch A 89.00% MCC PH102 2.00% Crospovidone 1.00% Aerosil 1.00% Magnesium Stearate A4 7.00% API-DS, Batch A 44.50% MCC PH102 44.50% SuperTab®11SD 2.00% Crospovidone 1.00% Aerosil 1.00% Magnesium Stearate
[0330] All exemplary formulations described herein can be made into tablets of different strengths. For example, for a tablet corresponding to Formulation A4 and containing a dose of 5 mg Compound I (free base), total amounts could be: 7.0 mg Crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 di(hydrogen sulfate) trihydrate, 44.5 mg of microcrystalline cellulose such as MCC PH102, 44.5 mg of lactose such as SuperTab®11SD, 2.0 mg Crospovidone, 1.0 mg colloidal silicon dioxide such as Aerosil®, and 1.0 mg Magnesium Stearate. Similarly, to prepare a tablet corresponding to Formulation A4 and containing a dose of 15 mg Compound 1 (free base), total amounts could be: 21.0 mg Crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 di(hydrogen sulfate) trihydrate, 133.5 mg of microcrystalline cellulose such as MCC PH102, 133.5 mg of lactose such as SuperTab®11SD, 6.0 mg Crospovidone, 3.0 mg of colloidal silicon dioxide such as Aerosil®, and 3.0 mg Magnesium Stearate. Such tablets may be coated, for example, using Opadry TF.
[0331] StarTab® is a directly compressible starch made by Colorcon. As the free base of Compound 1 is only about 71.3% of the API-DS, a salt correction factor of 1.40 was applied based on a target drug loading of 5% w / w Compound 1 (free base). The 71.3% value also takes impurities and residual solvents and the like into account. However, with the correction factor calculated to be 7% w / w for the API-DS, the diluent % w / w were adjusted accordingly as reflected in Table 7.Attorney Docket No: 01330-0113-00PCT
[0332] Blends were characterized for bulk and tapped density to evaluate the resulting flow. Bulk and tapped density results are presented in Table 8. Table 8: Bulk and Tapped Density Results Average Average Hausner Resulting Composition Bulk Tapped Carr’s Ratio Flow Density Density Index A1 0.5575 0.6585 1.18 15.3 Good A2 0.5350 0.6155 1.15 13.0 Good A3 0.3460 0.4795 1.39 27.9 Poor A4 0.4465 0.5570 1.25 19.8 Fair
[0333] The results detailed in Table 8 show that Compositions A1 and A2 presented a good flow, Composition A4 presented a fair flow, and Composition A3 presented a poor flow. Compositions A1 and A2 offered the best flowability performance. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that this difference in performance was due to the difference in excipients, StarTab® grade starch versus microcrystalline cellulose.
[0334] Next, the compositions were tested for blend uniformity. The results are presented in Table 9. A total of 10 aliquots were collected from the top (N=3), middle (N=4), and bottom (N=3) of the composition for testing. Table 9: Composition Uniformity Results Mean Recovery AV* Composition (90.0-110.0% Target) (<15 Target) A1 99.8% 7.6 A2 100.5% 6.3 A3 101.0% 3.4 A4 99.4% 5.8 *Acceptance Value as per Ph. Eur. 2.9.40
[0335] Overall, all the compositions presented a good recovery and low AV, suggesting that the screening and blending techniques adopted were useful in preparing the compositions.Attorney Docket No: 01330-0113-00PCT
[0336] The four compositions (A1-A4) were progressed for compressibility. Tablets (N=3) were compressed from each composition for each set of forces. The actual compression pressure applied and the tablet tensile strength averages (both expressed as MPa) from the 3 replicates have been plotted to create the compression profiles as presented in FIG. 26.
[0337] From the compression profile assessment, Compositions A3 and A4 were the most compressible formulations, requiring a lower force (~100MPa) to achieve 2MPa tensile strength. On the other hand, Compositions A1 and A2 were less compressible as they required a high compression force. In addition, Compositions A1 and A2 couldn’t be compressed at the lowest compression force (0.26 mT equivalent to ~50MPa) as the resulting tablets couldn’t hold the shape, crumbling into powder.
[0338] Compressed tablets of Compositions A1, A3, and A4 with varying amounts of API- DS were prepared. Specially, tablets were prepared using API-DS as follows: (1) 100 mg tablet size containing a dose of 5 mg Compound 1 (free base); (2) 200 mg tablet size containing a dose of 10 mg Compound 1 (free base); (3) 400 mg tablet size containing a dose of 20 mg Compound 1 (free base); and (4) 600 mg tablet size containing a dose of 30 mg Compound 1 (free base). Tablet sizes 100 mg and 600 mg were studied for hardness, thickness, friability, and disintegration. Results are presented in Table 10 for the 100 mg tablet and Table 11 for the 600 mg tablet (reported results are calculated as average of 3 tablets). Table 10: Thickness, Hardness, Friability, and Disintegration Time for 100 mg Tablets Composition A1 Composition A3 Composition A4 Compression Force: 1.5 mT Compression Force: 0.4 mT Compression Force: 0.9 mT Thickness: 3.03mm Thickness: 3.20mm Thickness: 2.90mm Hardness: 1.8kg Hardness: 8.3kg Hardness: 8.2kg Friability: 0.1% Friability: 0.01% Friability: 0.02% Disintegration: 1min 30sec Disintegration: 6 min Disintegration: 8min
[0339] For Composition A1, previous findings of poor compressibility were again confirmed by the high compression force used versus the hardness achieved. Higher compression force was also tested but hardness reached a plateau.Attorney Docket No: 01330-0113-00PCT Table 11: Thickness, Hardness, Friability, and Disintegration Time for 600 mg Tablets Composition A1 Composition A3 Composition A4 Compression Force: 2.0 mT Compression Force: 0.7 mT Compression Force: 1.5 mT Thickness: 5.23mm Thickness: 5.74mm Thickness: 5.90mm Hardness: 7.08 kg Hardness: 15.29kg Hardness: 18.16kg Friability: 0.5% Friability: 0.1% Friability: 0.1% Disintegration: 1min and Disintegration: 1min and Disintegration: 54 sec 30sec 30sec
[0340] Although the friability result for Composition A1 is <1.0%, the tablets visually failed the test presenting chipped edges. Initial Blends Formulations Using API-DS, Batch B
[0341] The compositions with the same ingredients as in Compositions A1, A3, and A4 were prepared at 100 g scale using API-DS, Batch B. Excipients were screened through a 1 mm sieve without using a sieve brush. API-DS, Batch B was screened through 250µm sieve using a sieve brush. The appropriate amount of API-DS and excipients for the blend were weighed. For each composition, using an appropriate size amber jar, the materials were added in the following order:
[0342] Composition B1: ½ Diluent → API-DS → ½ Diluent (refer to Table 12)
[0343] Composition B3 and B4: ½ Diluent → API-DS → Disintegrant → Glidant → ½ Diluent
[0344] The compositions were further mixed on the Turbula T2F blender for 20 minutes at 32 RPM. Magnesium stearate was added, and the powder blended for a further 2 minutes at 32 RPM.
[0345] Formulations of exemplary initial blends using API-DS, Batch B are presented in Table 12. Table 12. Formulations of Exemplary Initial Blends Using API-DS, Batch B Composition Formulation B1 6.75% API-DS, Batch BAttorney Docket No: 01330-0113-00PCT 92.25% StarTab®1.00% Magnesium Stearate B3 6.75% API-DS, Batch B 89.25% MCC PH102 2.00% Crospovidone 1.00% Aerosil 1.00% Magnesium Stearate B4 6.75% API-DS, Batch B 44.625% MCC PH102 44.625% SuperTab®11SD 2.00% Crospovidone 1.00% Aerosil 1.00% Magnesium Stearate
[0346] A correction factor of 1.35 was applied on the target drug loading (5% w / w free base based on a potency of 74.0% for API-DS Batch B (taking into account drug substance impurities, residuals solvent, residues of ignition, water content and counter ion)). Therefore, the drug load of the API-DS was 6.75% w / w and the diluents % (w / w) were adjusted accordingly as reflected in Table 12.
[0347] The blends were tested for blend uniformity. Results are presented in Table 13. A total of 10 aliquots were collected from the top (N=3), middle (N=4), and bottom (N=3) of the blend for testing. Table 13: Blend Uniformity Results Blend Batch Mean Recovery AV Number (90.0-110.0% Target) (<15 Target) B1 96.2% 11.7 B3 98.9% 3.6 B4 99.1% 7.9
[0348] Overall, the compositions presented a good recovery and low AV, suggesting that the screening and blending techniques adopted were useful in preparing compositions with API- DS Batch B.Attorney Docket No: 01330-0113-00PCT
[0349] Bulk and tapped density were also assessed for the above formulations. The results presented in Table 14. Table 14: Bulk and Tapped Density Results Tapped Composition Bulk Density Hausner Resulting Density (g / mL) Ratio Carr’s Flow (g / mL) Index B1 0.5702 0.7223 1.27 21.06 Passable B3 0.3843 0.4740 1.23 18.92 Fair B4 0.4623 0.5650 1.22 18.18 Fair
[0350] The blends were then compressed into tablets for hardness, thickness, friability, and disintegration assessment for both 100 mg and 600 mg tablets. Results are presented in Table 15 for the 100 mg tablet and Table 16 for the 600 mg tablet. The reported results are each calculated as averages of 3 tablets. Table 15: Thickness, Hardness, Friability, and Disintegration Time for 100 mg Tablets Composition B1 Composition B3 Composition B4 Compression Force: 1.5 mT Compression Force: 0.3 mT Compression Force: 0.6 mT Thickness: 3.02mm Thickness: 3.27mm Thickness: 2.96mm Hardness: 2.4kg Hardness: 6.1kg Hardness: 6.0kg Friability: 0.03% Friability: 0.00% Friability: 0.02% Disintegration: 3mins 20sec Disintegration: 3mins 4sec Disintegration: 4mins 20sec
[0351] Note: Initial compression forces used for Compositions B3 and B4 were 0.4 mT and 0.9 mT, respectively. This, however, resulted in a hardness of ~8kg for both and a disintegration time of ~9min for both, which is still acceptable. Additional trials confirmed that a good hardness is still achievable using a reduced compression force, with a good disintegration time and acceptable friability. Nine minutes is still an acceptable disintegration time, hence even at 8 kg hardness the tablets still behave within the range of an immediate release (IR) tablet disintegration time (USP <701>). However, at 6 kg hardness, the tablets disintegrate faster without being friable.Attorney Docket No: 01330-0113-00PCT Table 16: Thickness, Hardness, Friability, and Disintegration Time for 600 mg Tablets Composition B1 Composition B3 Composition B4 Compression Force: 2.0 mT Compression Force: 0.7 mT Compression Force: 1.5 mT Thickness: 5.17mm Thickness: 5.79mm Thickness: 5.11mm Hardness: 6.85kg Hardness: 14.09kg Hardness: 18.17kg Friability: 0.1% Friability: 0.03% Friability: 0.04% Disintegration: 2min 23sec Disintegration: 2min 36sec Disintegration: 1min 50sec
[0352] Although the friability result for Composition B1 is <1.0%, the tablets visually failed the test as they were friable presenting chipped edges and surface.
[0353] Upon assessing the results from the blends formulated with API-DS Batch A (Compositions A1, A3, and A4) and the blends formulated with API-DS Batch B (Compositions B1, B3, and B4), it can be noticed that results are overall comparable.
[0354] Table 17 shows a comparison of the bulk and tapped density of blends made with API-DS, Batch A and API-DS, Batch B.

[0355] Compositions A1 and B1 presented a flow with reduced performance, whilst Compositions 3 presented a better flow for the blend formulated with API-DS Batch B (i.e., Composition B3). Compositions A4 and B4 presented comparable results. Visually the blends presented no difference confirming that the results are overall comparable. Blend uniformity was comparable as shown in Table 18. Table 18: Blend Uniformity Results Composition 1 Composition 3 Composition 4 Test A1 B1 A3 B3 A4 B4 Mean Recovery (Target 90.0 – 110.0%) 99.8% 96.2% 101.0% 98.9% 99.4% 99.1% AV (<15 Target)7.6 11.7 3.4 3.6 5.8 7.9
[0356] Compositions B3 and B4 tablets were also tested for content uniformity, as presented in Table 19. Table 19: Content Uniformity Results for Compositions B3 and B4 Mean Recovery AV Batch Number (90.0 – 110.0 % Target) (<15 Target) B3 98.5% 1.58 B4 98.2% 5.32
[0357] Content uniformity results for both Compositions B3 and B4 presented acceptable results. 100 mg and 600 mg tablets prepared from Composition B4 were further progressed into coating trial using a Caleva minicoater. The coating polymer was the white Opadry TF. The coating solution was prepared at 15% w / w solid in DI water and stirred until visually homogenous.
[0358] Table 20 shows the parameters for the coating trial.

[0359] The selected coating solution was HPMC based and analyzed using reversed-phase HPLC to confirm specificity. The inclusion of a small percentage of HPMC in the coating solution was assessed based on new sample preparation dilutions / doses. Upon analyzing the samples, there were no significant peaks observed from the Opadry TF coating solution. Two small peaks were observed - below LOQ (0.05%), at RRT 0.62 and 0.64. Neither of the observed peaks interfere with known impurities (found at RRT 1.11, RRT 1.13, and RRT 0.53). Heckel test results
[0360] Four blends were re-prepared and submitted subjected to the Heckel test: Composition B3 (API-DS, Batch B, 100% MCC PH102 as diluent), Composition B4 (API- DS, Batch B, 50:50 MCC PH102 and SuperTab® 11 SD as diluents), Composition A3 (API- DS, Batch A, 100% MCC PH102 as diluent), and Composition A4 (API-DS, Batch A, 50:50 MCC PH102 and SuperTab® 11 SD as diluents). The aim of the Heckel test is to compress the material under controlled conditions to derive the yield pressure of the bulk material.
[0361] Strain rate sensitivity is a measurement taken from the Heckel test. By comparing the yield pressures at fast and slow compression speeds, one can assess the amount of elasticity present in the blends, the higher the elasticity the greater the issues for tableting. The resulting strain rate sensitivity graph is presented in FIG. 27. As shown, the compositions are far from elasticity and instead are within the plastic (ductile) to brittle area.
[0362] Without being bound by theory, it is believed that the results are driven by the diluents as they represent the majority of the blends compositions. In fact, if plotting MCC and lactose in FIG. 27, MCC would sit immediately under the soft / ductile area, whereas lactose would sit in the immediate bottom corner of the graph, as it’s a moderately hard / brittle material. Hence, Compositions A3 and B3 are more shifted towards the left, whilst Compositions A4 and B4 sit more towards the right of the graph.Attorney Docket No: 01330-0113-00PCT
[0363] The Heckel test is a measure of deformation, not the formation of a compact. To understand how dwell time affects bonding, the compact strength needed to be considered. The compacts produced at slow speed were good in appearance and had excellent strength. A formulation tablet with a 10mm diameter had a strength target of >12 kiloponds. The strengths at slow speed were 31.6-46.2 kiloponds. At fast speed, lamination and blistering was seen for some of the compacts. Strength was lower at 14.3-30.9 kiloponds but still exceeded the strength target for formulations. Therefore, the API-DS has the ability to form strong compacts and can contribute to the overall strength of the final formulation reducing the reliance of excipients to provide strength. This means that high formulation concentrations should be possible.
[0364] The conclusion from the strain rate sensitivity test is that the blends are unlikely to be wholly brittle and are more likely to show ductile behavior. Preparation of Additional Blends Using Alternative Grades of MCC
[0365] Four additional blends were prepared using API-DS, Batch A to determine a preferential grade of microcrystalline cellulose, with the aim of improving the flow. Specifically, excipients were screened through a 1 mm sieve without using a sieve brush. API-DS, Batch A was screened through 250µm sieve using a sieve brush. The appropriate amount of API-DS and excipients for the blend were weighed. For the blends, using an appropriate size amber jar, the materials were added in the following order:
[0366] ½ Diluent → API-DS →Disintegrant → Glidant → ½ Diluent
[0367] The blend was further mixed on the Turbula T2F blender for 20 minutes at 32 RPM. The magnesium stearate was added, and the powder blended for a further 2 minutes at 32 RPM.
[0368] Table 21 shows the formulas of additional blends using alternative grades of MCC. Table 21.

[0369] A correction factor of 1.40 was applied on the target drug loading (5% w / w free base based on a potency of 71.3% for API-DS Batch A (taking into account drug substance impurities, residuals solvent, residues of ignition, water content and counter ion)) Therefore, the drug load of the API-DS was 7% w / w and the diluents % (w / w) were adjusted accordingly as reflected in Table 21.
[0370] MCC PH102 was then replaced by MCC PH302 and MCC PH200, the rationale behind the choice of these two grades of MCCs is explained in Table 22. Table 22: Rationale Behind the Choice of Alternative MCC Average Bulk density MCC Grade particle size (g / mL)Main application(µm) MCC PH102 (used Medium size standard MCC. in the initial 130 0.28 - 0.33 Combines good flow and high compositions) compatibility.Attorney Docket No: 01330-0113-00PCT Same quality to grade 102, but MCC PH302 130 0.35 – 0.50 increased bulk density and improved flow properties.

[0371] Bulk and tapped density were assessed for the above formulations, results presented in Table 23. Table 23: Bulk and Tapped Density Results Bulk Tapped Hausner Carr’s Resulting Composition Density Density Ratio Index Flow (g / mL) (g / mL) A5 0.4271 0.5791 1.36 26.2 Poor A6 0.3954 0.4915 1.24 19.5 Fair A7 0.4609 0.6317 1.37 27.1 Poor A8 0.4606 0.5702 1.24 19.2 Fair
[0372] The above bulk and tapped density have been compared to the previous prepared blend that included MCC PH102, findings reported in Table 24.

[0373] As presented in the table above, MCC PH200 improved the flow for the new composition where 100% of diluent is represented by MCC only. MCC PH200 also performed well in the composition 50:50 MCC:lactose but performed similarly to MCC PH102. MCC PH302, on the other hand, did not show significant improvement in flow.
[0374] The blends were tested for blend uniformity, results are presented in Table 25. A total of 10 aliquots were collected from the top (N=3), middle (N=4), and bottom (N=3) of the blend for testing. Table 25: Blend Uniformity Results Blend batch Mean Recovery (90.0- AV number 110.0% Target) (<15 Target) A5 103.9% 6.90 A6 102.9% 8.53 A7 104.3% 7.52 A8 98.1% 9.27Attorney Docket No: 01330-0113-00PCT
[0375] Overall, the compositions presented a good recovery and low AV. An additional sample for Composition A6 was tested (MCC PH200 as 100% diluent) as the particle size is significantly greater than the other grades. After holding the Composition A6 blend for 3 days, the average recovery was 105.8% with an AV of 22.19 (see Table 26, below), which suggests that segregation occurred overtime due to potentially greater particle size of MCC PH200. Table 26: Blend Uniformity Spread of Data for Composition A6 Mean Recovery Composition Recovery AV (90.0-110.0% A6 (90.0-110.0% Target) (<15 Target) Target) Sample 1 101.5% Sample 2 102.9% Sample 3 98.4% Sample 4114.2%Sample 5 119.5% 105.8% 22.19% Sample 6 108.6% Sample 7 98.1% Sample 8 109.5% Sample 9 95.0% Sample 10 110.2%
[0376] The four compositions were then further progressed for compressibility for further evaluations. The compressibility assessment method is outlined in Example 7. N=3 tablets were compressed from each formulation for each set of forces. The actual compression pressure applied and the tablet tensile strength averages (both expressed as MPa) from the 3 replicates were plotted to create the compression profiles as presented in FIG. 28.
[0377] From the compression profile assessment, overall the compressibility of the new blends was reduced when comparing with the profiles of the previous composition. An overall comparison of compression profiles is provided in FIG.29.Attorney Docket No: 01330-0113-00PCT Example 9. Dissolution and Stability of Exemplary Crystalline Form 2 Compound 1 di(hydrogen sulfate) trihydrate Pharmaceutical Compositions
[0378] The composition used for the dissolution assessment were Composition B3 and Composition A8. In both cases, 600 mg film coated tablets (30 mg dose) were used for the dissolution testing. The mean dissolution profiles are shown in FIG. 30.
[0379] As shown in FIG. 30, >80% of Compound 1 (free base) is released within the first 15 minutes which suggests that the compositions within the immediate release specification range.
[0380] Dissolution was conducted on tablets prepared using Composition A4 containing a 5 mg dose of Compound 1 and tablets prepared using Composition A4 containing a 15 mg dose of Compound 1. The in vitro dissolution profiles (0.1 HCl) of the tablets showed no significant difference, therefore no difference in pharmacokinetics is expected.
[0381] Exemplary compositions were also subjected to stability studies. For example, tablets prepared using Composition A4 containing a 5 mg dose of Compound 1 and tablets prepared using Composition A4 containing a 15 mg dose of Compound 1 were subjected to accelerated stability studies at 25°C / 60%RH for up to 36 months and 40°C / 75%RH for up to six months. No chemical degradation was observed. Additionally, there was no significant change in appearance, related substances (impurities), dissolution at 45 minutes, chiral purity, water content, and microbial levels. A shelf life of at least 21 months at 15-25°C was shown. Example 10. Additional Formulations using Different ratios of Lactose:MCC
[0382] Four additional compositions were prepared with alternative ratios of SuperTab® 11SD:MCC PH102. Excipients were screened through a 1 mm sieve without using a sieve brush. API-DS, Batch A was screened through 250 μm sieve using a sieve brush. The appropriate amount of API-DS and excipients for each blend were weighed. For each blend, using an appropriate size amber jar, the materials were added in the following order: ½ Diluent → API-DS → Disintegrant → Glidant → ½ Diluent. The blend was further mixed on the Turbula T2F blender for 20 minutes at 32 RPM. The magnesium stearate was added and the powder blended for a further 2 minutes at 32 RPM.
[0383] A salt correction factor of 1.40 was applied on the target drug loading (5% w / w free base based on a potency of 71.3% for API-DS Batch A (taking into account drug substance impurities, residuals solvent, residues of ignition, water content and counter ion)). Therefore,Attorney Docket No: 01330-0113-00PCT the drug load of the API-DS was 7% w / w and the diluents % (w / w) were adjusted accordingly as reflected in Table 27.
[0384] Table 27 shows formulations of exemplary initial blends using API-DS, Batch A. Table 27.

[0385] The Compositions A9 and A10 were tested for blend uniformity. The results are presented in Table 28. A total of 10 aliquots were collected from the top (N=3), middle (N=4), and bottom (N=3) of the blend for testing.Attorney Docket No: 01330-0113-00PCT Table 28: Blend Uniformity Results Mean Recovery AV Composition (90.0-110.0% Target) (<15 Target) A9 100.1% 8.80 A10 100.4% 3.47 A4 (from previous studies) 99.4% 5.85
[0386] Overall, the compositions presented a good recovery and low AV and the results were comparable with Composition A4 from earlier studies. The results of a compressibility assessment performed on both Composition A9 and A10 are provided in FIG. 31. As can be observed in FIG. 31, the compressibility of Compositions A9 and A10 is notably lower for both new blends when comparing the profiles with Composition A4. Upon comparing Compositions A9 and A10, however, it can be observed that Composition A10 performs slightly better than Composition A9, potentially due to the increased %w / w of glidant. Regarding Compositions A11 and A12, the compressibility is overall comparable.
[0387] Compositions A9-A12 were also tested for bulk and tapped density. The results are presented in Table 29. It can be seen that the proposed Compositions A9-A12 with alternative ratios of MCC:lactose had poorer flows than Composition A4. Results are comparable for Compositions A9 and A10, and for Compositions A11 and A12. Composition A4 results (shown for reference in FIG. 31) performed better in terms of flow properties and in terms of compressibility.
[0388] The new proposed blends were also tested for bulk and tapped density. Results are presented in Table 29. Table 29.

Flowdex Testing on Certain Compositions
[0389] Flowdex involves monitoring the rate of flow of material through an orifice which has been proposed as a better measure of powder flowability. Flowdex is a methodology used to determine the intrinsic flowability of powdered materials (in compliance with USP<1174>). The powder is loaded in a funnel positioned above disks with varying hole diameters (ranging from 4 mm to 34 mm).The powder’s ability to flow through the hole is observed. If the powder flows freely, the next larger disk is used. This process is repeated until the powder no longer flows freely through the hole. The smallest hole diameter through which the powder flows freely is recorded as the flowability index.
[0390] Flowdex testing was performed on certain compositions (e.g., Compositions B3, B4, A7-A12), as well as three reference samples. The results are shown in Table 30. Table 30: Flowdex Testing Results Composition Smallest Orifice Successfully Passed Through Reference – 100% Mannitol (Pearlitol 4 mm 200SD) Reference – 100% MCC 102 24 mm Reference – 100% SuperTab® 11 SD 6 mm B3 16 mm B4 16 mm A7 18 mm A8 8 mm A9 14 mm A10 14 mm A11 14 mm A12 14 mm
[0391] In some circumstances, a target for Flowdex should be ≤12 mm for a formulation that will perform well on a tablet press (possibly with slightly slower speeds at 12 mm), although a target of < 10mm would be more optimal. 14 mm and 16 mm compositions could be compressed into tablets at slow speeds (e.g., 5 RPM).Attorney Docket No: 01330-0113-00PCT Example 12.

[0393] Bulk and tapped density and Flowdex were measured on the blends. The results are presented in Tables 34 and 35.

[0394] The results of the bulk and tapped density, and the Flowdex testing, are comparable amongst the formulations and are also comparable to other directly compressible blends (such as Composition A4). Compressibility was also assessed for Compositions A13-A15 (FIG. 32). Compressibility was slightly reduced for Compositions A13-A15 when compared to Composition A4 but the results were still acceptable. Compositions A13-A15

[0397] From the compression profile, Compositions A17 and B17 with 50:50 MCC PH102 and MCC PH200 were highly compressible, requiring a lower force (~50MPa) to achieve 2MPa tensile strength.

[0398] The 600mg film coated tablets were tested for dissolution. Mean dissolution profiles are presented in FIGs. 34 and 35 for Compositions A16 and B16, and FIGs. 36 and 37 for Compositions A17 and B17. Dissolution was also assessed on Composition B4 (FIG. 38).
[0399] Content uniformity was assessed on 100 mg tablets (5 mg dose). Results are in Table 43 below. The mean recovery and AV are very similar for the Compositions A4 and B4, and slightly less comparable for Compositions A17 and B17. However, all results are within specification. Table 43.

[0400] A composition with an increased amount of API-DS was prepared to access the impact on flowability and compressibility as shown in Table 44 below. The composition was prepared at a 50 g scale. Table 44. Batch A18 Blend Composition A18 Component %w / w API-DS, Batch A 14.00 MCC PH102 Diluent 41.00 SuperTab® 11SD Diluent 41.00 Crospovidone Disintegrant 2.00 Aerosil Glidant 1.00 Magnesium Stearate Lubricant 1.00 Total 100.00
[0401] The flowability of Composition A18 was assessed and compared to Composition A4. See Table 45. Table 45.

[0402] The blend was then further progressed for compression assessment. The sets of forces selected were 3422, 4991, 6462, 7933, 9404 Newton. Tablets were produced as 100 mg round and checked for weight, thickness, and hardness. N=3 tablets were produced from each set of forces. The resulting compression profile for Composition A18 is presented in FIG. 39. The profile for Composition A4 is also shown in FIG. 39 for comparison. As shown in the figure, a 2.00 mPa tensile strength could be achieved with ~3422 N force (equivalent to ~100 mPa compression pressure). The last point represents a potential failure point as there is a drop in the profile, meaning that at that particular force the material is probably over- compressed.
[0403] Slightly less force was required for the composition with the higher API-DS loading (~100 mPa vs ~120 mPa for Composition A4), confirming that a reasonable force can be used to achieve 2.00 mPa tensile strength despite the increased API-DS loading in the blend. It can be concluded that it is possible to increase the API-DS loading of the composition from 5% w / w to 10% w / w free base without hindering the blend flowability and compressibility performance.
[0404] Based on the testing discussed in Examples 8-12, it was found that compositions based on a combination of MCC (e.g., MCC PH102) and lactose (e.g., SuperTab 11 SD) provided adequate flowability and good compressibility. Compositions comprising different grades of MCC (e.g., MCC PH102 and MCC PH200) also provided good compressibility.Attorney Docket No: 01330-0113-00PCT EQUIVALENTS The foregoing written specification is considered to be sufficient to enable one skilled in the art to practice the embodiments.
