[0014] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0015] The present invention relates to a crystalline form of 3-(3-chloro-2-methoxy-anilino)-2-[3-[[(2S)-l,4- dioxan-2-yl]methoxy]-4-pyridyl]-l,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine-4-one which is the crystalline, pseudopolymorphic form Hydrate 1 Modification A of formula (A), which is herein referred to as the "crystalline Hydrate 1 Modification A form of compound 3-(3-chloro-2-methoxy- anilino)-2-[3-[[(2S)-l,4-dioxan-2-yl]methoxy]-4-pyridyl]-l,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine- 4-one, of formula (A):
[0016] (A), wherein the content of water is greater than 0 % (w / w), which is herein also referred to as the "crystalline Hydrate 1 Modification A compound of formula (A)". BHC 243007 FOREIGN FILING 202508
[0017] In an embodiment, the present invention relates to a crystalline form of 3-(3-chloro-2-methoxy- anilino)-2-[3-[[(2S)-l,4-dioxan-2-yl]methoxy]-4-pyridyl]-l,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine- 4-one which is the crystalline, pseudopolymorphic form Hydrate 1 Modification A of formula (A), which is herein referred to as the "crystalline Hydrate 1 Modification A form of compound 3-(3- chloro-2-methoxy-anilino)-2-[3-[[(2S)-l, 4-dioxan-2-yl]methoxy]-4-pyridyl]-l, 5,6,7- tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine-4-one, of formula (A):
[0018] (A), wherein the content of water is greater than 0 % (w / w) and < 4.0 % (w / w), which is herein also referred to as the "crystalline Hydrate 1 Modification A compound of formula (A)".
[0019] It is to be understood that the crystalline Hydrate 1 Modification A compound of formula (A) is a nonstoichiometric hydrate, wherein „x" means a variable stoichiometric ratio of water molecules to the 3-(3-chloro-2-methoxy-anilino)-2-[3-[[(2S)-l, 4-dioxan-2-yl]methoxy]-4-pyridyl]-l, 5,6,7- tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine-4-one molecule.
[0020] Said nonstoichiometric hydrate, the crystalline Hydrate 1 Modification A compound of formula (A), was selected as the most feasible form, although the water content in this form is not fixed.
[0021] The present invention further relates to processes for its preparation, to pharmaceutical compositions and combinations comprising it and to its use in the treatment and prevention of diseases, particularly cancer, in particular lung cancer, particularly non-small cell lung carcinoma.
[0022] 3-(3-chloro-2-methoxy-anilino)-2-[3-[[(2S)-l,4-dioxan-2-yl]methoxy]-4-pyridyl]-l,5,6,7-tetrahydro- pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine-4-one (B), of structure: BHC 243007 FOREIGN FILING 2025 08
[0023] (B), demonstrates a surprisingly high tendency to solidify in various different crystalline lattices.
[0024] It is to be understood that the very high number of crystalline forms of said compound (B) is considered by the inventors of the present invention as defined in the appended claims to be really special and unique.
[0025] The following crystalline forms of the compound of formula (B) have been identified, which are Modification I, Modification II, Modification III, Modification IV, and the pseudopolymorphic forms which are the Hydrate 1 Modification A (herein described as "crystalline Hydrate 1 Modification A compound of formula (A)" of the present invention), Hydrate 1 Modification B and Hydrate 1 Modification C. Solvated forms were isolated from ethyl acetate, 2-propanol, 1-propanol, ethanol, 1-4 dioxane, toluene, THF, DMF and isopropanol. Especially the 1-propanol solvates show polymorphism (1-propanol solvate Modification A and 1-propanol solvate Modification B). Mixed solvate forms were characterized for ethanol / water, methanol / water and 1-propanol / water combinations.
[0026] The amorphous phase can exist at ambient conditions. The glass transition was not detected due to an overlay of an endothermic loss of water.
[0027] In this context, modifications, polymorphic forms and polymorphs have the same meaning. All together - the polymorphic forms, the pseudopolymorphic forms and the amorphous form - are different solid forms of the compound of formula (B).
[0028] It is to be understood that the surprisingly highly complex solid state landscape of the compound of the formula (B) makes it very difficult to select a crystalline form which show a beneficial behaviour in characterisation, storage stabilities with focus on humidity, crystallization, processability and formulation ability. Surprisingly, the pseudopolymorphic form Hydrate 1 Modification A of the compound of the formula (B), referred to herein as "crystalline Hydrate 1 Modification A compound of formula (A)", is the most suitable crystalline form. Surprisingly, pseudopolymorphic form Hydrate 1 of the compound of formula (B), ("crystalline Hydrate 1 Modification A compound of formula (A)"), BHC 243007 FOREIGN FILING
[0029] 2025 08 shows beneficial properties over the other solid forms of the compound of formula (B) with regard to hygroscopicity, storage stability, crystallization properties, processability and formulation ability.
[0030] It is to be understood that although the inventors of the present invention as defined in the appended claims had found anhydrous forms (Mod. I to Mod. IV), none of the anhydrous forms were used, because the nonstoichiometric hydrate, which additionally shows polymorphism on its own, is very surprisingly suitable for formulation, storage and chemical process. It is considered by the inventors of the present invention as defined in the appended claims that this finding is particularly unexpected, because nonstoichiometric hydrates normally loose and / or add water very easily by changes in the crystalline lattice.
[0031] Pseudopolymorphic form Hydrate 1 (the "crystalline Hydrate 1 Modification A compound of formula (A)") is therefore suitable and preferred over the other solid forms of the compound of formula (B) for use in the pharmaceutical field, in particular suitable for pharmaceutical compositions, such as tablets or other solid formulations, such as powders or cakes.
[0032] It is reiterated that it is considered by the inventors of the present invention as defined in the appended claims that the nonstoichiomentic hydrate, i.e. the crystalline Hydrate 1 Modification A compound of formula (A) as defined in the appended claims, is surprisingly stable during the formulation process (tableting), as the person skilled in the art could expect loss of water during such high energetic mechanical processes.
[0033] In particular, unexpectedly, pseudopolymorphic form Hydrate 1 of the compound of the formula (B), (the "crystalline Hydrate 1 Modification A compound of formula (A)"), ensures that an undesired conversion into another form of the compound of formula (B) and an associated change in the properties as described above is prevented. This increases the safety and quality of preparations and formulations comprising of the compound of the formula (B) and the risk to the patient is reduced, which is clearly advantageous.
[0034] A pharmaceutical composition according to the present invention comprises pseudopolymorphic form Hydrate 1 Modification A of the compound of formula (B), (the "crystalline Hydrate 1 Modification A compound of formula (A)"), and optionally further pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
[0035] A preferred embodiment of the present invention is a pharmaceutical composition comprising pseudopolymorphic form Hydrate 1 Modification A of the compound of the formula (B), (the "crystalline Hydrate 1 Modification A compound of formula (A)"), mainly and no significant fractions of another form of the compound of the formula (B) and optionally further pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. More preferably, the pharmaceutical composition contains more than 85 percent by BHC 243007 FOREIGN FILING
[0036] 2025 08 weight, more preferably more than 90 percent by weight, most preferably more than 95 percent by weight, of the pseudopolymorphic form Hydrate 1 Modification A of the compound of the formula (B), (the "crystalline Hydrate 1 Modification A compound of formula (A)"), related to the total amount of all forms of the compound of the formula (B) present in the composition.
[0037] It is to be understood that the inventors of the present invention as defined in the appended claims that the nonstoichiomentic hydrate, i.e. the crystalline Hydrate 1 Modification A compound of formula (A) as defined in the appended claims, did not show any solid transformation into the additional modifications of Hydrate 1 during these mechanical formulation processes.
[0038] The different forms of the compound of formula (B) can be characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), IR- and Raman-spectroscopy.
[0039] It is to be understood that although the inventors of the present invention as defined in the appended claims found so many forms, around 26 forms in all, all of which can be clearly characterized by XRPD, (which are given in the figures), it was the nonstoichiomentic hydrate, i.e. the crystalline Hydrate 1 Modification A compound of formula (A) as defined in the appended claims, which gave rise to the technically advantageous characteristics as described herein, and which was consequently selected for the formulation process. It is to be understood that normally, an anhydrous polymorph is selected for formulation development, but in this case, the crystalline Hydratel Modification A compound of formula (A) as defined in the appended claims was selected, due to its special and unexpected advantageous physico-chemical characteristics, because it did not display any transformation into any of the other hydrates. As such, the crystalline Hydrate 1 Modification A compound of formula (A) as defined in the appended claims surprisingly fulfills the requisites necessary for a formulated drug product.
[0040] It is to be understood that there are significant differences in the crystalline lattices of all the forms, which is considered to be highly surprising by the inventors.
[0041] The pseudopolymorphic form Hydrate 1 Modification A of the compound of formula (B), (the "crystalline Hydrate 1 Modification A compound of formula (A)"), can be characterized unambiguously by a X-Ray powder diffractogram (at RT and with Cu-K alpha 1 as radiation source) which displays at least the following reflections: 24.9; 6.5 and 19.7 preferably at least the following reflections: 24.9; 6.5; 19.7; 12.4 and 9.6; more preferably at least the following reflections: 24.9; 6.5; 19.7; 12.4; 9.6; 15.0 and 19.5, most preferably at least the following reflections: 24.9; 6.5; 19.7; 12.4; 9.6; 15.0; 19.5; 23.7; 13.0 and 14.0, each quoted as 2Q value ± 0.2°.

[0190] Working Examples
[0191] Process
[0192] The synthesis of 3-(3-chloro-2-methoxy-anilino)-2-[3-[[(2S)-l,4-dioxan-2-yl]methoxy]-4-pyridyl]- l,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridin-4-one (B), as described in PCT patent application WO 2020 / 216781 Al is outlined in Scheme (I). As indicated, several intermediates were obtained by means of complete solvent evaporation and purification by column chromatography or preparative HPLC, operations which are unfavourable for industrialization. Moreover, the low chemical stability of intermediate (X) is disadvantageous for manufacturing campaign planning as it disables any intermittent storage of this compound. Neither control of the polymorphic form of 3-(3-chloro-2- methoxy-anilino)-2-[3-[[(2S)-l,4-dioxan-2-yl]methoxy]-4-pyridyl]-l,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2- c]pyridin-4-one (B) in the final purification step by preparative HPLC, nor specific polymorphic forms are described in PCT patent application WO 2020 / 216781 Al.

[0194] Scheme (I)
[0195] In contrast, the inventive process of the present invention, as depicted in Scheme (II), below, avoids all complete solvent evaporations and chromatographic purifications, instead relying on processing of intermediate (III) in solution and otherwise suitable crystallization conditions either directly from the reaction mixture or after intermittent extractive workup, as depicted in Scheme (I). The limitedly stable free base amine X was replaced by the surprisingly stable hydroethanesulfonate analogue XVI, thus facilitating the handling and enabling storage of this key building block. The synthesis of said hydroethanesulfonate XVI turned out to work very well under mild reaction conditions using Pd catalysis, avoiding the previously established employment of large amounts of Raney-nickel and thereby increasing process safety. The employment of hydroethanesulfonate XVI instead of free base amine X in the subsequent condensation reaction yielding vinylogous thiourea XI required the addition of base to trigger conversion, with potassium phosphate identified as favourable for a clean reaction profile. Replacing the reported solvent acetonitrile by tetrahydrofuran enabled a controlled antisolvent crystallization with isopropyl acetate to afford the desired product as well isolable crystals.

[0200] The inventive process for the manufacture of 3-(3-chloro-2-methoxy-anilino)-2-[3-[[(2S)-l,4- dioxan-2-yl]methoxy]-4-pyridyl]-l,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridin-4-one hydrate (A), as depicted in Scheme (II), above, comprises several advantages:
[0201] Step 7: 3-(3-chloro-2-methoxy-anilino)-2-[3-[[(2S)-l, 4-dioxan-2-yl]methoxy]-4-pyridyl]-l, 5,6,7- tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridin-4-one crude (B):
[0202] • TFA was replaced by the superiorly performing sulphuric acid, thereby also avoiding utilization of a compound from the critically regarded PFAS group of chemicals.
[0203] • The employment of an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide-urea-adduct instead of plain aqueous hydrogen peroxide as oxidant unexpectedly improved the reaction profile by diminishing the amount of overoxidation of the target compound to pyridone XVII. Due to the close structural proximity of this side product to compound (B), separation of the two is intrinsically a major hurdle.
[0204] • Through addition of aqueous sodium hydroxide, the target compound was directly crystallized from the reaction mixture and readily isolated by filtration. This process purges aniline I, of which several percent are formed under the reaction conditions, to levels < 0.05 % (HPLC area %).
[0205] Step 8: 3-(3-chloro-2-methoxy-anilino)-2-[3-[[(2S)-l, 4-dioxan-2-yl]methoxy]-4-pyridyl]-l, 5,6,7- tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridin-4-one purified (XIII): Instead of a purification of compound (B) by preparative HPLC, a sequence of in situ formation of the corresponding hydrotosylate XIX with p- toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate in a mixture of ethanol and water, followed by a clarifying filtration and pH-shift crystallization to furnish compound XIII through addition of an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide is performed and was identified capable of efficiently separating the following impurities from the target compound:
[0206] • Elemental sulphur: a byproduct in the synthesis of compound (B), initially isolated with that compound, is separated by a clarifying filtration of the transiently generated solution of compound (B) in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate. BHC 243007 FOREIGN FILING 202508
[0207] • Benzothiazole XVIII: side-product in the synthesis of compound (B), resulting from an undesired alternative substrate oxidation and formed in several percent under the reaction conditions. Up to 2 % of this solid compound are frequently isolated together with compound (B) due to its low solubility in methanol / water, but serendipitously exhibited a significantly enhanced solubility in ethanol / water, allowing it to be purged during isolation of compound XIII.
[0208] Step 9: 3-(3-chloro-2-methoxy-anilino)-2-[3-[[(2S)-l,4-dioxan-2-yl]methoxy]-4-pyridyl]-l,5,6,7- tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridin-4-one hydrate (A): Whereas compound XIII is typically formed in the desired hydrate I, Modification A form (A) during crystallization in the respective process, an inherent risk was identified of it converting into an undesired ethanol-water-solvate found to be more stable under the applied reaction conditions. This risk was mitigated by identification of a recrystallization procedure from tetrahydrofuran and water, in which the desired polymorphic form, hydrate I Modification A turned out not only to be the product of kinetic control, but also the thermodynamically preferred form. Furthermore, the formation of THF solvates was circumvented.
[0209] It is to be understood that in a polymorphic landscape like the present case, it is really difficult to not build any solvates during the recrystallization process. However, the process as described herein and as defined in the appended claims circumvented the formation of such solvates, which is critical.
