[0002] MLL1 is a histone methyltransferase encoded by the mixed-lineage leukemia 1 (MI.I.l) gene (also known as the KMT2A gene) on chromosome 1 lq23. MLL1 is a transcriptional coactivator that plays an essential role in regulating gene expression during early development and hematopoiesis. Multiple chromosomal translocations involving ^XQ MLLI gene are the cause of certain acute myeloid leukemias (AML) and acute lymphoid leukemias (ALL). These chromosomal translocations have the downstream effect of upregulating H0XA9 and A / AZS' / gene expression critical to leukemogenesis. H0XA9 and MEIS1 then contribute toenhanced proliferation and blockage of hematopoietic differentiation ultimately leading to acute leukemias. A / / . / . / -rearranged (MLLl- ) leukemias are associated with resistance to standard therapies and higher rates of relapse. Patients with MLLl- leukemias generally have an unfavorable prognosis and respond poorly to available treatments relative to patients with non- MI.I.l-v leukemias.
[0003] MLL1 normally associates with a cohort of highly conserved cofactors to form a macromolecular complex. One of these cofactors is Menin, a product of the AffiTW tumor suppressor gene. Menin is an essential cofactor necessary for binding of ^XQ MLLI complex to promoters of target genes. The Menin binding site on MLL1 is located on the N-terminus and preserved throughout MLL 1 fusion proteins resulting from the chromosomal rearrangements.
[0004] Current treatments for MLLl- leukemias are conventional chemotherapeutics that non- selectively kill all rapidly proliferating cells including normal stem / progenitor cells in the bone marrow and other organs including the intestines. Such treatments can cause severe toxicities, side effects, and even secondary cancers. Targeted pharmacologic inhibition of Menin-MLLl binding is a presently unexploited therapeutic approach for treating leukemias and other diseases associated with Menin activity. No approved pharmacological agents that inhibit Menin activity generally, or that inhibit Menin activity specifically, are currently available. Accordingly, there is a need for Menin inhibitors, particularly Menin inhibitors having pharmacologically appropriate properties (such as selectivity, bioavailability, etc.) that are suitable for administration to a subject in need of such treatment.
[0005] The present disclosure addresses this large unmet need by providing solid-state salt forms of the Menin inhibitor, 5 -2-(3-(l-(5,5-dimethylpyrrolidine-2-carbonyl)piperidine-4- carbonyl)-2-methyl-l / 7-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-l-yl)-5-fluoro-A,A-diisopropylbenzamide, Atropisomer 2, together with corresponding pharmaceutical compositions, that are suitable for treating and / or preventing Menin-mediated conditions such as MLLl-r leukemias and other Menin-mediated cancers.SUMMARY

[0034] Many embodiments are detailed throughout the specification and will be apparent to a reader skilled in the art. Such embodiments are provided by way of example only and are not intended to otherwise limit the scope of the invention. Various alternatives to the described embodiments may be employed in practicing the invention.I. Definitions
[0035] With respect to the embodiments disclosed in this specification, the following terms have the meanings set forth below:
[0036] Reference to “a” or “an” means “one or more.” Throughout, the plural and singular should be treated as interchangeable, other than the indication of number.
[0037] When ranges are used herein to describe, for example, physical or chemical properties, all combinations and subcombinations of ranges and specific embodiments therein are intended to be included. Use of the term “about” or “approximately” when referring to a number or a numerical range means that the number or numerical range referred to is an approximation within experimental variability (or within statistical experimental error), and thus the number or numerical range may vary from, for example, between 1% and 15% of the stated number or numerical range.
[0038] Unless the context requires otherwise, the words "comprise" or "comprises" or “comprising" are used on the basis and clear understanding that they are to be interpreted inclusively, rather than exclusively, and that Applicant intends each of those words to be so interpreted in construing this patent, including the claims below.
[0039] The term “amorphous form” refers to a form of a compound that lacks long range crystalline order.
[0040] The term “atropisomers” refers to stereoisomers resulting from hindered rotation about one or more single bonds, where the energy barrier to rotation is high enough to allow for the isolation of the conformers. Atropisomers are depicted in the chemical structures of the present disclosure by wedged bonds (solid or broken (hashed)) in aromatic rings in which the wedged bond is connected to the o-bond around which axial rotation is hindered. Thecompound f5 -2-(3-(l-(5,5-dimethylpyrrolidine-2-carbonyl)-piperidine-4-carbonyl)-2-methyl- lH-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-l-yl)-5-fluoro-7V,7V-diisopropylbenzamide has two atropisomeric forms (Atropisomer A-l and Atropisomer A-2) that are shown below:Atropisomer A-l of (5)-2-(3-(l-(5,5-dimethylpyrrolidine-2-carbonyl)-piperidine-4-carbonyl)-2- methyl-lH-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-l-yl)-5-fluoro-A,A-diisopropylbenzamide and Atropisomer A- 2 of (A)-2-(3-(l-(5,5-dimethylpyrrolidine-2-carbonyl)-piperidine-4-carbonyl)-2-methyl-lH- pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-l-yl)-5-fluoro-A,A-diisopropylbenzamide are referred to throughout this specification as Atropisomer A-l and Atropisomer A-2, respectively.
[0041] The terms “co-administration,” “co-administering,” “administered in combination with,” and “administering in combination with” as used herein, encompass administration of two or more agents to a subject so that both agents and / or their metabolites are present in the subject at the same time. Co-administration includes simultaneous administration in separate compositions, administration at different times in separate compositions, or administration in a composition in which two or more agents are present.
[0042] The term “crystalline form” is intended to include all crystalline forms of the compound, including, for example, polymorphs, pseudopolymorphs, solvates, hydrates, unsolvated polymorphs (including anhydrates), and conformational polymorphs, as well as mixtures thereof, unless reference is to a particular crystalline form.
[0043] The term “therapeutically effective amount” of a pharmacological agent is an amountthat is sufficient to effect beneficial or desired results, including clinical results, and, as such, will depend upon the situation in which it is being administered. Where the pharmacological agent is being administered to treat a cancer, for example, a therapeutically effective amount of the agent is an amount of the agent that is sufficient, either alone or in combination with additional therapies, to provide an anti-cancer effect in a subject as compared to the response obtained without administration of the agent.
[0044] The term “pharmaceutically acceptable” is used adjectivally in this specification to mean that the modified noun is appropriate for use as a pharmaceutical product or as a part of a pharmaceutical product. For example, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” or “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” is intended to include any and all carriers or excipients that are suitable for use in mammals, particularly humans.
[0045] The terms “reflection” or “reflection mode,” when used in conjunction with X-ray powder diffraction, refers to the reflection (also known as Bragg-Brentano) sampling mode.
[0046] The terms “preventing” or “prevention” are readily understood by an ordinarily skilled physician and, with respect to treatment of a particular condition, can include is intended to have its normal meaning and includes primary prophylaxis to prevent the development of the condition and secondary prophylaxis whereby the condition has already developed and the patient is temporarily or permanently protected against exacerbation or worsening of the disease or the development of new symptoms associated with the condition.
[0047] The term “solvate” refers to a crystalline phase of a compound in physical association with one or more molecules of a solvent. The crystalline phase of a compound in physical association with one or more molecules of water is referred to as a “hydrate.”
[0048] The terms “transmission” or “transmission mode,” when used in conjunction with X- ray powder diffraction, refers to the transmission (also known as Debye-Scherrer) sampling mode.
[0049] The terms "treating” or “treatment” are readily understood by an ordinarily skilled physician and, with respect to treatment of a particular condition, can include (1) diminishing the extent or cause of the condition being treated, and / or (2) alleviating or ameliorating one ormore symptoms associated with that condition. Treatment of cancer, for example, can include stabilizing (z.e., not worsening), delaying, or slowing the spread or progression of the cancer; prolonging survival as compared to expected survival if not receiving treatment; and / or otherwise ameliorating or palliating the cancer or the severity of the cancer, in whole or in part.II. Amorphous and Crystalline Salts of Atropisomer A-2
[0050] A compound that is an active pharmaceutical ingredient in a drug product potentially can exist in different solid-state forms exhibiting different physical properties. These physical property differences can impact the manufacturing and formulation of the drug product. Such physical properties can include, but are not limited to: (1) packing properties such as molar volume, density, and hygroscopicity; (2) thermodynamic properties such as melting temperature, vapor pressure, and solubility; (3) kinetic properties such as dissolution rate and stability (including stability at ambient conditions, especially to moisture and under storage conditions); (4) surface properties such as surface area, wettability, interfacial tension, and shape; (5) mechanical properties such as hardness, tensile strength, compressibility, compactibility, handling, flow and blend; and (6) filtration properties. Accordingly, solid-state forms of a compound, particularly crystalline forms of the compound, that provide an improvement in one or more of these physical properties relative to other solid-state forms of the compound are desirable. The discovery of a new solid-state form of a pharmaceutically useful compound therefore provides a potential opportunity to improve the performance characteristics of the corresponding drug product and related manufacturing process.
[0051] Efforts to identify a solid-state form of Atropisomer A-2 having pharmacologically appropriate properties and suitable for administration to a human subject have been challenging. Examples 2 to 12 report extensive efforts to identify solid-state forms of Atropisomer A-2. Initial efforts focused on identifying a suitable crystalline free base form, but such efforts were unsuccessful. No crystalline free base form was isolated. Further, the amorphous free base form isolated generally had issues with chemical instability and solvent retention.
[0052] Efforts then focused on identifying crystalline salt forms of Atropisomer A-2 having pharmacologically appropriate properties and suitable for administration to a human subject. Such efforts to identify a suitable crystalline salt form likewise were unsuccessful. Later efforts,however, finally resulted in the identification of the crystalline orotate salt forms reported in Example 12.
[0053] After initial efforts to identify a suitable crystalline salt form were unsuccessful, efforts then focused on identifying amorphous salt forms of Atropisomer A-2 having pharmacologically appropriate properties and suitable for administration to a human subject. Although several amorphous salt forms were identified, those amorphous salt forms generally had pharmacological properties that potentially could present formulation development challenges (e.g., stability, hygroscopicity, etc.).
[0054] Given the difficulty in identifying a suitable solid-state form of Atropisomer A-2, initial formulation development was carried out with the amorphous hydrochloride salt and subsequently shifted to the amorphous besylate salt. The recent discovery of the crystalline orotate salt, however, provides another potential formulation development approach for Atropisomer A-2.
[0055] Accordingly, the present disclosure provides solid-state salt forms of Atropisomer A- 2:In one aspect, the solid-state salt form possesses one or more of the above-described advantageous properties relative to one or more of the other solid-state salt forms of the compound. In another aspect, the solid-state salt form is substantially pure. As used in the present specification, the term "substantially pure" means that the solid-state salt formcomprises at least about 90 weight % of the desired solid-state salt form relative to any other solid-state salt form of Atropisomer A-2. In another aspect, the solid-state salt form comprises at least about 95 weight % of the desired solid-state salt form relative to any other solid-state salt form of Atropisomer A-2. In another aspect, the solid-state salt form comprises at least about 96 weight % of the desired solid-state salt form relative to any other solid-state salt form of Atropisomer A-2. In another aspect, the solid-state salt form comprises at least about 97 weight % of the desired solid-state salt form relative to any other solid-state salt form of Atropisomer A-2.

The resulting solid was stirred in methyl tert-butyl ether at the room temperature for one day resulting in a suspension with the solid stuck to the wall. The suspension was dried in vacuum (GeneVac) resulting in an amorphous white solid.Example 3: Solubility Study
[0163] The solubility of 5)-2-(3-(l-(5,5-dimethylpyrrolidine-2-carbonyl)-piperidine-4- carbonyl)-2-methyl-lH-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-l-yl)-5-fluoro-7V,7V-diisopropylbenzamide, Atropisomer A-2 was quantitatively determined in a set of 20 solvents. A first aliquot of 50 or 100 pL of solvent was added to approximately 20 mg of amorphous Atropisomer A-2. The amorphous Atropisomer A-2 completely dissolved in all solvents except dibutyl ether, water, cyclohexane, n-heptane, and hexane. The dibutyl ether, water, cyclohexane, n-heptane, and hexane suspensions were equilibrated at room temperature under continuous stirring for 24 hours. Upon completion of the incubation time, an aliquot of mother liquor was taken from the five suspensions, filtered, and analyzed by UPLC to determine the Atropisomer A-2 concentration in solution. The solubility of Atropisomer A-2 in each of the solvent systems tested after 24 hours at room temperature is reported in Table 1. The solubility classification is indicated according to the US Pharmacopoeia: freely soluble (solubility > 100 mg / mL); slightly soluble (solubility 1-10 mg / mL); and very slightly soluble (solubility 0.1-1 mg / mL).Atropisomer A-2 was highly soluble in the organic polar solvents tested and slightly or very slightly soluble in the apolar solvents tested.TABLE 1Example 4: Free Base Crystallization Study
[0164] A crystallization screen was conducted at Ardena Oss BV employing different solvent / antisolvent systems using the following crystallization methodologies:• Solvent equilibration at room temperature for 2 weeks in organic solvent / water mixtures;• Solvent equilibration at 5°C for 2 weeks in organic solvents and organic solvent / water mixtures;• Solvent equilibration at 40°C for one week; and• Thermocycling.The starting material employed in all experiments was amorphous freebase of (S)-2-(3-(l -(5,5- dimethyl-pyrrolidine-2-carbonyl)-piperidine-4-carbonyl)-2-methyl-lH-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-l- yl)-5-fluoro-N,N-diisopropylbenzamide, Atropisomer A-2.A. Solvent Equilibration at Room Temperature for Solubility Determination
[0165] Suspensions were prepared by adding solvent aliquots to amorphous Atropisomer A- 2. The suspensions were equilibrated at room temperature under continuous stirring. After 24 hours incubation, an aliquot of the mother liquor was taken from the suspensions, filtered, and analyzed by UPLC to determine the Atropisomer A-2 concentration in solution. The same suspensions were allowed to equilibrate for 2 weeks to remeasure the Atropisomer A-2 concentration in solution. After 2-weeks incubation, the vials were centrifuged and an aliquot of mother liquor was taken, filtered, and analyzed by UPLC to determine the Atropisomer A-2 concentration in solution. The solubility of Atropisomer A-2 was calculated against a calibration line determined from two independently prepared stock solutions of Atropisomer A-2. Additionally, solids recovered after 2-weeks equilibration were analyzed by UPLC and HT- XRPD. Table 2 reports the experimental details and results of the solubility determination.
[0166] If a solution was obtained after the initial addition of solvent, it was allowed to equilibrate 24 hours at RT and 3 days at 5°C. If no precipitation occurred, antisolvent (either water or n-heptane, depending on miscibility) was added to the solutions to attempt precipitation. Aliquots of 10% of antisolvent were added and solutions were allowed to stir at 5°C overnight. The same procedure was repeated until a solvent:antisolvent ratio of 1 : 1 was reached. Results are reported in Table 2.B. Solvent Equilibration Experiments
[0167] Given the high solubility of Atropisomer A-2 in most type of solvents tested, antisolvent was initially added to the amorphous material and then aliquots of the good solvent were added until a suitable suspension was obtained. The resulting suspensions were then: (i) equilibrated at room temperature for 2 weeks (organic solvent mixtures and organic solvent / water mixtures), (ii) equilibrated at 5 °C for 2 weeks (pure organic solvents, water, organic solvent mixtures, and organic solvent / water mixtures), or (iii) equilibrated at 40°C for one week (pure organic solvents, water, and organic solvent mixtures). After the incubation time, the vials were centrifuged and analyzed by HT-XRPD as ambient solids and vacuum dried solids. The liquid phases (mother liquors and solutions) recovered from the solvent equilibration at both room temperature and 5°C were used for the evaporative experiments. Theliquid phases (mother liquors and solutions) recovered from the solvent equilibration at 40°C were used for the cooling experiments. In the evaporative experiments, solvents were left evaporating initially at ambient conditions. Samples that were still solutions after 3 days were dried under vacuum at 25°C. The solids obtained were then analyzed by XRPD. For the cooling experiments, the solutions at 40°C were slowly cooled to 5°C and aged at this temperature for 3 days. If precipitation did not occur, the liquid phases were evaporated at 10 mbar / RT. The experimental details and results of the solvent equilibration experiments are reported in Tables 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Notations: “AS” = antisolvent; AAC = accelerated aging conditions; “Amb.” = ambient-dried sample; “Evap:” = solid sample recovered by evaporation; “Vac.” = vacuum-dried sample; “ly” = low yield;= low yield / no solid; “Am” = “amorphous”.
[0168] Table 3 reports the experimental details and results of the solvent equilibration experiments in organic mixtures performed at 5°C for 2 weeks. The suspensions were equilibrated for 2 weeks at 5°C under continuous stirring. After 2 weeks, the solids were separated from the liquid phases, and analyzed by HT-XRPD as ambient- solids (Amb.) and vacuum-dried solids (Vac.). All liquid phases (mother liquors and solutions) were used for the evaporative experiments (Evap.). All solids were afterwards exposed to AAC (40°C / 75% RH) for 2 days and remeasured by HT-XRPD.
[0169] Table 4 reports the experimental details and results of the solvent equilibration experiments performed at 40°C for one week. The suspensions were equilibrated for one week at 40°C under continuous stirring. After one week, the solids were separated from the liquid phases, and analyzed by HT-XRPD as ambient-solids (Amb.) and vacuum-dried solids (Vac.). All liquid phases (mother liquors and solutions) were used for the cooling experiments (see Table 5). All solids were afterwards exposed to AAC (40°C / 75% RH) for 2 days and remeasured by HT-XRPD.
[0170] Table 6 reports the experimental details and results of the cooling for 3 days at 5°C of the mother liquors and solutions recovered from solvent equilibration experiments performed at 40°C for one week. The solids were separated from the liquid phases and analyzed by HT- XRPD as ambient-samples (Amb.). If precipitation did not occur, the liquid phases wereevaporated (Evap.). All solids were afterwards exposed to AAC (40°C / 75% RH) for 2 days and remeasured by HT-XRPD.
[0171] Table 7 reports the experimental details and results of the long-term equilibration experiments in organic solvent / water mixtures performed at 5°C for 2 weeks. The suspensions were subjected to 2 weeks stirring at 5°C. After 2 weeks, solids were collected by centrifugation and analyzed by HT-XRPD, as ambient-samples (Amb.) and vacuum-dried (Vac.) samples. The recovered mother liquors or solutions were evaporated (Evap.). Solids were exposed to 40°C / 75% RH (AAC) for 2 days and re-analyzed by HT-XRPD.
[0172] Table 8 reports the experimental details and results of the long-term equilibration experiments at room temperature. The suspensions were subjected to 2 weeks stirring at room temperature. After 2 weeks, solids were collected by centrifugation and analyzed by HT-XRPD, as ambient-samples (Amb.) and vacuum-dried (Vac.) samples. The recovered mother liquors were evaporated (Evap.). Solids were exposed to 40°C / 75% RH (AAC) for 2 days and reanalyzed by HT-XRPD.C. Thermocycling Experiments
[0173] Thermocycling experiments were performed in 10 neat organic solvents and solvent mixtures by adding the antisolvent first and then aliquots of the solvent until a suitable suspension was obtained. Samples were placed in a Crystal 16™ reactor and heated to 50°C and cooled to 5°C with a constant heating rate of 10°C / h and variable cooling rates of -20°C / h, - 10°C / h and -5°C / h from the first to the third cycle. FIG. 11 illustrates the temperature profile for the thermocycling experiments. After thermocycling was completed, the samples were aged at room temperature for 72 hours. Upon completion of the aging time, the solids were separated from the liquid phases by centrifugation and dried under ambient conditions and under vacuum before being analyzed by HT-XRPD. Solutions were evaporated and solids analyzed by HT- XRPD. Table 9 reports the experimental details and results.TABLE 3TABLE 4TABLESTABLE 6TABLE 7TABLE 8TABLE 9
[0174] No crystalline phases were identified among the solid samples recovered any of the above-described experiments in which different temperatures, solvent systems, and equilibration times were tested.Example 5: ENaCt Crystallization Study
[0175] Encapsulated nanodroplet crystallisation and co-crystallisation (ENaCt) studies were conducted at Indicatrix Crystallography Limited to obtain single crystal(s) of Atropisomer A-2 suitable for single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) analysis and confirmation of absolute stereochemistry together with supporting classical crystallisation experiments:• ENaCt experiments (24 x 96-well plates) were carried out using 96 organic solvents and four encapsulating oils. No crystals of Atropisomer A-2 were obtained from 2304 experiments (including replicates).• ENaCt co-crystallisation experiments (24 x 96-well plates) were carried out using four solvents (DMSO, DMF, EtOH, and DCE) and 12 acidic co-f ormers (oxalic acid, adipic acid, pamoic acid, 3 -nitrophthalic acid, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, 5-chlorosalicylic acid, 3,3 ’-di thiopropionic acid, tartaric acid, phenoxyacetic acid, salicylic acid, adipic acid, and 3-hydroxy-2-naphoic acid). Additional ENaCt co-crystallisation experiments (3 x 96-well plates) were then carried out with saccharin. No co-crystals of Atropisomer A-2 were obtained from 2304 experiments (including replicates).• ENaCt in situ derivatisation experiments (8 x 96-well plates) were carried out with four hydrazines (2-hydrazinebenzothiozole (2-HBT), 3 -bromophenylhydrazine hydrochloride (3-BPH.HC1), 3 -nitrophenylhydrazine hydrochloride (3-NPH.HC1), and 2-nitrophenyl- hydrazine (2-NPH)) and benzyl bromide (2 x 96-well plates). No crystals of Atropisomer A-2 derivatives were obtained from 960 experiments (including replicates).• ENaCt experiments (2 x 96-well plates) were carried out with a hydrochloride (HC1) salt of Atropisomer A-2 (prepared in CPME) using four solvents (DMSO, DMF, CPME, and 2-MeTHF) and two solvent mixtures (DMSO:CPME and DMF:CPME). No crystalline solids were observed. Further ENaCt in situ HC1 salt formation experiments (3 x 96-well plates) were carried out using HC1 in diethyl ether and in CPME. Again, no crystallinesolids were observed.• Supporting classical crystallisation experiments were carried out including (i) slow evaporation experiments with 96 solvents, (ii) in situ HCL salt formation via liquidliquid layered diffusion between Atroisomer A-2 and HC1 in diethyl ether and CPME, and (iii) in situ saccharin co-crystal formation. No crystals associated with Atropisomer A-2 were obtained from 108 classical crystallization experiments.
[0176] Unless otherwise statement, each of the ENaCt experiments described below evaluated each of the four oils listed in Table 10 as encapsulation oils for the solvents employed.TABLE 10
[0177] Despite carrying over 6,000 ENaCt experiments (3 x 96-well plates) and over 100 supporting classical crystallisation experiments, no crystals associated with Atropisomer A-2 were identified.
[0178] Further general background on ENaCt can be found, for example, at Tyler A.R., et al., “Encapsulated Nanodroplet Crystallization of Organic-Soluble Small Molecules,” Chem. 6(7), 1755-1765 (2020).A. ENaCt Crystallization: Single Solvents
[0179] Stock solutions were prepared as follows. Amorphous Atropisomer A-2 was weighed in 2 mL screw-top vials and solvents were added in 5 pL portions until the sample was fully dissolved, up to a maximum of 300 pL of solvent. Where the samples were not fully soluble, the supernatant was used. Table 11 reports the experimental details.TABLE 11
[0180] Although 2304 experiments were carried out [96 solvents x 4 oils x 6 replicates], no crystalline solids of Atropisomer A-2 were obtained.B. ENaCt Crystallization: Co-Crystallisation
[0181] ENaCt co-crystallisation experiments (24 x 96-well plates) were carried out using four solvents and 12 acidic co-formers. Atropisomer A-2 contains two basic nitrogen atoms which are capable of interm olecular hydrogen bonding to protons in acids. The 12 acidic coformers, therefore, were used to potentially allow intermolecular hydrogen bonding to Atropisomer A-2 with co-crystallisation as a result.
[0182] Stock solutions of Atropisomer A-2 in the four different solvents (DMSO, DMF, EtOH, and DCE) were prepared as follows. Amorphous Atropisomer A-2 was weighed in 2 mL screw-top vials and solvents were added in 12 pL portions until the sample was fully dissolved. Table 12 reports the experimental details.TABLE 12
[0183] Stock solutions of the co-formers in the four different solvents were prepared as follows. Co-formers were weighed in 2 mL screw-top vial (different masses were used based on known solubility) and solvents were added in 12 pL portions until the sample was fully dissolved, up to a maximum of 384 pL of solvent / mg material. Where the samples were not fully soluble, the supernatant was used. Table 13 reports the experimental details.TABLE 13
[0184] ENaCt crystallisation experiments were carried out with the stock solutions of Atropisomer A-2 and the stock solutions of co-former in same solvent at three differentAtropisomer A-2 / co-former ratios (2: 1; 1 : 1, and 1 :3) and in each of the four encapsulation oils. Although crystals were obtained in some experiments, all such crystals were associated with the co-former (as determined by unit cell analysis) and no co-crystals of Atropisomer A-2 were obtained. Although 2304 experiments were carried out [4 solvents x 12 co-formers x 3 Atropisomer A-2 / co-former ratios x 4 oils x 4 replicates], no crystalline solids of Atropisomer A-2 were obtained.C. ENaCt Crystallization: In Situ Derivatization with Hydrazines
[0185] ENaCt crystallisation experiments (24 x 96-well plates) were carried out using in situ derivatisation with hydrazines. Atropisomer A-2 contains a carbonyl functional group capable of undergoing a condensation reaction with an added hydrazine containing molecule to give a hydrazone. It was hypothesized that the hydrazine would be more crystalline than the parent molecule and potentially allow crystallisation of the Atropisomer A-2-hydrazine adduct. Such a molecule could then be analyzed by SCXRD to allow structural and stereochemical determination.
[0186] Stock solutions of Atropisomer A-2 were prepared as follows. Amorphous Atropisomer A-2 was weighed in 2 mL screw-top vials and solvents were added until the sample was fully dissolved.
[0187] Stock solutions of hydrazine were prepared by dissolving the hydrazine in the appropriate solvents to give same concentrations as the stock solution of Atropisomer A-2 where possible. Where the samples were not fully soluble, the supernatant was used.
[0188] Tables 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 report the experimental details.TABLE 14Atropisomer A-2 with 2-Hydrazinebenzothiozole (2-BHT)TABLE 15Atropisomer A-2 with 3 -Bromophenylhydrazine Hydrochloride (3-BPH.HC1)TABLE 16Atropisomer A-2 with 3 -Nitrophenylhydrazine Hydrochloride (3-NPH.HC1)TABLE 17Atropisomer A-2 with 2-Nitrophenylhydrazine (2-NPH))No crystalline solids of Atropisomer A-2 derivatives were obtained.D. ENaCt Crystallization: In Situ Derivatization with Benzyl Bromide
[0189] ENaCt crystallisation experiments (2 x 96-well plates) were carried out using in situ derivatisation with benzyl bromide to improve crystallinity of an Atropisomer A-2 derivative. It was hypothesized that the nucleophilic nitrogen atoms in Atropisomer A-2 would react with benzyl bromide to give benzylic substituted Atropisomer A-2 in which the added aromatic ring would improve crystallinity.
[0190] Stock solutions of Atropisomer A-2 and benzyl bromide were prepared in four solvents (DMSO, DMF, EtOH, and DCE) as follows. Amorphous Atropisomer A-2 was weighed in 2 mL screw-top vials and solvents were added until the sample was fully dissolved. Stock solutions of benzyl bromide were prepared by dissolving benzyl bromide in theappropriate solvents to give the same concentrations as the stock solution of Atropisomer A-2.

Additional AbbreviationsExample 6: Counterion Study
[0211] A counterion study was conducted for amorphous Atropisomer A-2 with the 48 counterions listed in Table 25 and five different solvents (methanol, ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, and ethanol / water (50 / 50)). The screen was repeated using amorphous Atropisomer A-2 that had been further purified by column chromatography.
[0212] An Atropisomer A-2 stock solution was prepared by dissolving 50.63 mg of Atropisomer A-2 in 6 mL of methanol to provide a 0.0143 M solution. A stock solution for each counterion was prepared by dissolving the counterion in an amount of methanol sufficient to provide a 0.025 M counterion solution. lOOpL of the Atropisomer A-2 stock solution was added to 48 wells of a 98 well plate. 57pL of the appropriate counterion stock solution was added to the corresponding wells to allow the salt formation. The methanol solvent was then allowed to evaporate in a slow and controlled manner (24 hours) to help induce crystallization. The resulting plate was then analyzed by polarized light microcopy (PLM) to determine whether there was any evidence of crystalline material by birefringence.
[0213] Ethyl acetate (lOOpL) was added to each well plate and vortexed at 400 RPM for 2 minutes to aid dissolution. The ethyl acetate solvent was then allowed to evaporate over 24hours and the plate was screened via PLM as previously described. The process was then repeated with each of the tetrahydrofuran (THF), acetonitrile, and ethanol / water (50 / 50) solvents.
[0214] No clear hits with strong birefringence or crystalline morphology were observed.TABLE 25Example 7: Counterion Study

Where a counterion was not fully soluble in methanol, a sufficient amount of water was added to the solution to solubilize the counterion. A 24-well plate was used to hold 24 4-mL vials for the screening.A. Reaction in Methanol (or Methanol / Water)
[0216] 0.5 mL of the 0.05 M Atropisomer Solution was mixed with 0.05 M of each Counterion Solution in a 4-mLl vial. The resulting solution was evaporated in the hood under ambient conditions. The resulting solid was then dried in vacuum (GeneVac).B. Crystallization in Acetone

[0249] Crystalline Form B of the orotate salt of Atropisomer A-2 (approximately 10 mg) was dissolved in acetonitrile (2.0 mL). The solution was filtered and evaporated in a hood. A needle-like crystalline material was obtained. XRPD analysis confirmed that the white solid was the crystalline Form C orotate salt of Atropisomer A-2.12. Evaporation of TBME into EtOAc / DCM / MeOH Solution
[0250] Crystalline Form B of the orotate salt of Atropisomer A-2 (approximately 10 mg) was dissolved in ethyl acetate / dichloromethane / methanol (1 : 1 : 1) (1.5 mL) and TBME (2.0 mL) was slowly evaporated into the solution. A white solid started to precipitate. The solution was evaporated, and a white solid was obtained. XRPD analysis confirmed that the white solid was the crystalline Form B of the orotate salt of Atropisomer A-2.
[0251] Initial observations from the above-described orotate salt crystallization study can be summarized as follows:• Three crystalline orotate salts of Atropisomer A-2 were isolated: Forms A, B, and C.• Form A contained approximately 3% of solvent residue. No form change was observed after heating to 125°C and no form change was observed after the GVS study.• Form B contained more than 10% of solvent residue and may be a TBME solvate. No form change was observed after heating to 150°C.• Form A converted to Form B in TBME.• Form B converted to Form A in acetone.• Form C was obtained from evaporation of acetonitrile. Form C contains about 5% of solvent residue and may be an acetonitrile solvate.B. Characterization of Crystalline Orotate Salt1. Form A
[0252] Characterization of crystalline Form A of the orotate salt of Atropisomer A-2 wascarried out using various techniques including X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) (FIG. 1), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) (FIG. 2), thermogravimetic analysis (TGA) (FIG. 3), and gravimetric vapor sorption (GVS) (FIG. 4). a. XRPD
[0253] FIG. 1 shows a representative XRPD pattern for crystalline Form A measured using reflection geometry. The XRPD pattern of FIG. 1 confirms that Form A of the orotate salt is crystalline. Table 31 below lists selected peaks identified in the XRPD pattern of FIG. 1.TABLE 31The following definitions have been used for the relative intensity (%): 25% - 100%, vs (very strong); 10% - 25%, s (strong); 3% - 10%, m (medium); 1% - 3%, w (weak).
[0254] Crystalline Form A shows characteristic peaks at 5.2 ± 0.2° 29, 8.1 ± 0.2° 29, 9.2 ± 0.2° 29, 10.8 ± 0.2° 29, and 15.4 ± 0.2° 29.

Crystalline Form A exhibited a reversible moisture uptake of about 6.0 weight % between 0% relative humidity and 80% relative humidity at 25°C ±0.1°C. The desorption curve indicates that crystalline Form A lost moisture at a similar rate to the moisture gained during sorption, with limited hysteresis. No form change was observed by XRPD after the GVS experiment.2. Form B

Crystalline Form C exhibited a weight loss of about 4.8 weight % upon heating from about 25°C to 150°C, which confirms that crystalline Form C of the orotate salt is a crystalline solvate / hydrate.C. Analytical Methods
[0268] Unless otherwise stated, the following analytical methods were used to characterize the crystalline orotate salts described in this Example:1. Reflection X-Ray Powder Diffraction
[0269] The X-ray diffraction analysis is performed according to standard methods, which can be found, for example, in Kitaigorodsky, A.I. (1973), Molecular Crystals and Molecules, Academic Press, New York; Bunn, C.W. (1948), Chemical Crystallography, Clarendon Press, London; or Klug, H.P. & Alexander, L.E. (1974), X-ray Diffraction Procedures, John Wiley & Sons, New York.
[0270] The X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) pattern is determined by mounting a sample on a zero-background holder, single silicon crystal, and spreading out the sample into a thin layer. The XRPD is recorded with a Theta-Theta Rigaku MiniFlex (wavelength of X-rays 1.5418 A nickel-filtered Cu radiation, Voltage 40 kV, filament emission 15 mA). Variable divergence and anti-scatter slits and incident and diffracted seller slit 0.04° are used. The samples are rotated during measurement. Samples are scanned from 3 to 40°26 using a 0.013° step width and a 115.770 s count time together with a PIXcellD detector (active length 3.35°20). The XRPD patterns are obtained in Bragg-Brentano geometry.
[0271] One of skill in the art will recognize that a XRPD pattern may be obtained which has one or more measurement errors depending on measurement conditions, such as equipment ormachine used (Jenkins, R & Snyder, R.L. ‘Introduction to X-Ray Powder Diffractometry’ John Wiley & Sons 1996; Bunn, C.W. (1948), Chemical Crystallography, Clarendon Press, London; Klug, H. P. & Alexander, L. E. (1974), X-Ray Diffraction Procedures). Those skilled in the art of X-ray powder diffraction will further recognize that the relative intensity of peaks can be affected by, for example, grains above 30 microns in size and non-unitary aspect ratios that may affect analysis of samples. Those skilled in the art would further understand that intensities might fluctuate depending on experimental conditions and sample preparation (e.g., preferred orientation). The following definitions have been used for the relative intensity (%): 25% - 100%, vs (very strong); 10% - 25%, s (strong); 3% - 10%, m (medium); 1% - 3%, w (weak).
[0272] One of skill in the art will also recognize that the position of reflections can be affected by the precise height at which the sample sits in the diffractometer and the zero calibration of the diffractometer. The surface planarity of the sample may also have a small effect. Hence the diffraction pattern data presented are not to be taken as absolute values. Generally, a measurement error of a diffraction angle in a powder X-ray diffractogram may be approximately plus or minus 0.2°26, and such a degree of a measurement error should be taken into account when considering the XRPD data.
[0273] The reflection mode XRPD pattern may be compared to the transmission mode XRPD pattern, although those skilled in the art will realize that the diffraction patterns may vary, particularly with respect to peak intensities.2. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
[0274] The melting point temperature onset (Tm) is determined by Differential Scanning Calorimetry using a TA Instruments DSC, model Discovery Q2500. A sample (approximately 1-3 mg) is weighed into an aluminum sample pan. The sample is packed to the bottom of the sample pan and a lid with a pin hole is used. The instrument is purged with nitrogen at 50 mL / min and data collected between 22°C and 300°C, using a heating rate of 10°C / minute.3. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)
[0275] Thermal gravimetric analysis is performed using a TA Instruments TGA, Discovery Q5500. A sample (approximately 10 mg) is transferred to a tared sample holder. The instrumentis purged with nitrogen, oven 60 mL / min and balance 40 mL / min, and data are collected between room temperature and 300°C, using a heating rate of 10°C / min. During heating, the buoyancy effect will result in an observed weight increase. This effect can be reduced by using more than 15 mg of material or performing a baseline subtraction on the sample curve.4. Gravimetric Vapor Sorption (GVS)
[0276] Gravimetric vapor sorption analysis is performed using a TA Instruments TGA, model Discovery SA. A sample (approximately 5-10 mg) is transferred to a tared sample holder. The instrument is purged with nitrogen, chamber 200 mL / min and balance 10 mL / min at 25°C and data are collected at different relative humidity (%RH). Starting at 40% relative humidity (RH) and going stepwise up to 90%RH, down stepwise to 0%RH, and eventually a second cycle going up to 90%RH and back to 40%RH. The equilibrium criteria for moving to next %RH is reached when the drift criteria (dm / dt) is below 0.002 for 10 min.
[0277] Hygroscopicity can be assessed, for example, according to the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) classification: non-hygroscopic: < 0.2%; slightly hygroscopic: > 0.2% and < 2%; hygroscopic: > 2% and < 15%; very hygroscopic: > 15%; deliquescent: sufficient water is absorbed to form a liquid; all values measured as weight increase at 80% RH and 25°C).Example 12-B: Initial Preparation as Orotate SaltA. Stereoisomeric Forms
[0278] Four stereoisomers of 2-(3-(l-(5,5-dimethylpyrrolidine-2-carbonyl)-piperidine-4- carbonyl)-2-methyl-U / -pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-l-yl)-5-fluoro-A,A-diisopropylbenzamide have been identified and are shown in Table 33-A below. The desired stereoisomer is Atropisomer A-2, but the other stereoisomers (Atropisomers A-l, A-3, and / or A-4) may be present as impurities depending upon the method of synthesis. It has been found that first preparing an orotate salt (particularly a crystalline orotate salt such as Form A) from the 5-2-(3-(l-(5,5- dimethylpyrrolidine-2-carbonyl)-piperidine-4-carbonyl)-2-methyl-lH-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-l- yl)-5-fluoro-N,N-diisopropylbenzamide starting material and then converting the orotate salt into a besylate salt can improve the Atropisomer A-2 stereoisomeric purity in the final besylate salt product relative to preparing the besylate salt directly from the Atropisomer A-2 startingmaterial without proceeding through the Atropisomer A-2 orotate salt.TABLE 33-A
[0279] Benzenesulfonic acid (7.71 g, 48.7 mmol) was dissolved in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (23 mL) and added over 2.5 hours to a solution of Atropisomer A-2 (30.01 g, 48.85 mmol, 96 mass % purity) in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (345 mL) at 20°C. The Atropisomer A-2 starting material included Atropisomer A-l (0.12 area %) and Atropisomer A-4 (1.43 area %) as impurities. 2-Methyltetrahydrofuran (8 mL) was charged as a line wash. Heptane (375 mL) was added to a separate vessel and the solution of Atropisomer A-2 besylate was added over more than 1 hour at 20°C. The resulting slurry was stirred overnight (approximately 16 hours) before the slurry was filtered, washed with heptane (3x150 mL), and dried under vacuum to yield Atropisomer A-2 besylate as an off-white solid (37.07 g, 46.59 mmol, 94 mass %). Chiral analysis indicated that the besylate salt product also contained Atropisomer A-l (0.94 area %) and Atropisomer A-4 (1.43 area %). The increase in Atropisomer A-l content may have been due to the age of the Atropisomer A-2 starting material rather than the process itself, but the overall results confirm that the Atropisomer A-l and A-4 impurities in the Atropisomer A-2 starting material were retained in the final Atropisomer A-2 besylate salt product.C. Preparation of Besylate Salt (Orotate Salt Isolation)
[0280] Atropisomer A-2 (25.41g, 41.36 mmol, 96 mass %) was dissolved in acetone (250 mL) and orotic acid (6.457 g, 41.37 mmol) was added. The Atropisomer A-2 starting material included Atropisomer A-l (0.12 area %) and Atropisomer A-4 (1.43 area %) as impurities. The suspension was stirred for 10 days then filtered under vacuum, washed with acetone (150 mL), and dried under vacuum to yield Atropisomer A-2 orotate (25.25 g, 33.85 mmol). TheAtropisomer A-2 orotate was determined to be crystalline orotate Form A. Atropisomer A-l was non-detected in the Atropisomer A-2 orotate. Atropisomer A-4 content was not measured.
[0281] A portion of Atropisomer A-2 orotate (12.5 g, 16.8 mmol) was slurried in 2- methyltetrahydrofuran (125mL). IM NaOH (125 mL) was added and the solids dissolved. The aqueous phase was removed and the organic phase washed with water (3x62.5 mL). The organic phase was concentrated under vacuum and azeodried with 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (500 mL). The resulting Atropisomer A-2 concentrate was diluted with further 2- methyltetrahydrofuran to make the final volume 107 mL. To this was added a solution of benzenesulfonic acid (2.35 g, 14.9 mmol) in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (7 mL) over 2 hours. The resulting solution was added to heptane (120 mL) and the resulting slurry filtered under vacuum and washed with heptane (3x50 mL). The collected solids were dried under vacuum to yield Atropisomer A-2 besylate (10.34 g, 13.73 mmol, 99.31 mass %). Atropisomer A-l was nondetected in the final Atropisomer A-2 besylate salt product. Atropisomer A-4 content was not measured.D. Preparation of Atropisomer A-2 Orotate from Atropisomer A-l / A-2 Mixture
[0282] To a 1 : 1 mixture of Atropisomer A-l / Atropisomer A-2 (1.0 g, 1.475 mmol, 87 mass %) was added orotic acid (230 mg, 1.47 mmol) followed by acetone (15mL) and the mixture stirred for 9 days. The slurry was then filtered under vacuum and washed with acetone (2x2.5 mL) to yield Atropisomer A-2 orotate (370 mg, 0.490 mmol (98.9 mass%)). The Atropisomer content of the recovered product was 0.21 area % Atropisomer A-l and 99.79 area % Atropisomer A-2.Example 13: Menin / MLL Fluorescence Polarization (FP) Assay
[0283] Compounds were tested in a biochemical binding assay using Menin protein at 2 nM (N6his-tev-Menin_4i80, PB-20-1459) and the substrate cRhol 10-Ahx-MBMl / MBM2 peptide (UbiQ, UbiQ-Q20201030; cRhl 10-Ahx-SCRWRFPARPGTTGGGGGGGRRGLGGAPR- QRVPALLLPPG-NH2) at 1 nM.
[0284] 384 Low volume black plates (Corning #4514) were used. 5 pL / well compound or 3% DMSO was added at 10-fold serial dilutions in DMSO from 10 pM. 5 pL / well cRhol 10-Ahx-MBM1 / MBM2 peptide or binding buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.5, 50 mM NaCl, 1 mM TCEP, 0.01% BGG, 0.01% Brij-35) was added to all wells. 5 pL / well Menin protein or binding buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.5, 50 mM NaCl, 1 mM TCEP, 0.01% BGG, 0.01% Brij-35) was added to all wells. Plates were read on an EnVision plate reader (Perkin Elmer) with excitation at 480 nm and emission at 535 nm P+S, and measured every 5 minutes for 180 minutes.
[0285] Data were analyzed in Genedata Screener®. ICso values were determined by plotting % inhibition versus log compound concentration and using a one site dose response model. Raw data signals were normalized using 1% DMSO no Menin as 100% inhibitor control and 1% DMSO with Menin and no inhibitor as 0% inhibitor control. Data are reported in Table 34 for Atropisomers A-l and A-2.TABLE 341ICso is reported after a single measurement (n=l) or as an average for multiple measurements (n>l).Example 14: Proliferation Assay
[0286] The anti-proliferative effect of compounds was tested in human leukaemia cell lines. The cell lines MOLM-3 and MV4; 11 each harbor an MLL translocation expressing the MLL fusion proteins MLL-AF9 and MLL-AF4, respectively. Each also express the wildtype protein from the second allele. OCI-AML3 cells carrying the NPMlc gene mutation were also tested. EEL cells which do not carry MLL1 translocation or NPMlc mutations were used as a control cell line to exclude compounds that displayed general cytotoxic effects.
[0287] MOLM-13 and EEL cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 (Gibco) supplemented with 10% FBS (Gibco) and 1% Pen / Strep (Gibco). MV4;11 cells were cultured in IMDM (Gibco) supplemented with 10% FBS (Gibco) and 1% Pen / Strep (Gibco). OCI-AML3 cells were cultured in MEMa (Gibco) supplemented with 20% FBS (Gibco) and 1% Pen / Strep (Gibco).
[0288] To assess proliferative effects, 125 MOLM-13 cells, 300 MV4;11 cells, 75 OCI- AML3 cells, and 200 EEL cells were seeded in 40 pL media per well in 384-well ViewPlates(Perkin Elmer, 6007480). Cell seeding numbers were chosen based on growth curves to ensure linear growth throughout the experiments. Test compounds were added at 3.16-fold serial dilutions in DMSO from 10 pM and DMSO content was normalized to 0.1%. Cells were incubated for 7 days at 37°C and 5% CO2. A day 0 plate was seeded for each cell line and used as a standard control.
[0289] To measure cell viability, CellTiter-Glo 2.0 (Promega, G9242) luminescent growth indicator was used. 10 pL CellTiter-Glo reagent was added per well. Plates were placed on a plate shaker for 2 minutes in the dark and left to incubate off the shaker for another 8 minutes in the dark, for a total of 10 minutes. Plates were read using an EnVision plate reader (Perkin Elmer) using the Luminescence aperture and a measurement time of 0.1 second.
[0290] Data were analyzed in Genedata Screener®. IC50 values were determined by plotting % inhibition versus log compound concentration and using a one site dose response model. Raw data signals were normalized using 0.1% DMSO media only as background control, 0.1% DMSO with cells no compound as 100% viability (maximum signal), and day 0 0.1% DMSO with cells no compound as 0% viability (minimum signal). Data are reported in Table 35 for Atropisomers A-l and A-2.TABLE 351IC50 is reported after a single measurement (n=l) or as an average for multiple measurements (n>l).Example 15: hERG AssaysA. hERG Assay 1 (Standard)
[0291] Experiments were performed on the SyncroPatch 384PE (Nanion Technologies) high throughput patch clamp platform at room temperature and used medium resistance chips with 4 patch holes per site. hERG-expressing Chinese hamster ovary KI (CHO) cell line was used in assay-ready format and kept in liquid nitrogen until use. 2 vials of cells (10 x 10A6 cells pervial) were thawed and added to 20 ml Hepes-buffered saline solution (HBSS). HBSS comprised 140 mM NaCl, 4mM KC1, lOmM HEPES and 5mM Glucose (pH 7.4). The internal patch clamp solution was KF 120 mM, KC1 20 mM, HEPES 10 mM, EGTA 10 mM, and 25 pM Escin (pH 7.2). After the initial sealing process was complete, a seal enhancer solution comprising HBSS supplemented with 10 mM CaCh and ImM MgCh was applied to cells. The external solution was then exchanged (4 times) for external patch clamp solution comprising NaCl 80 mM, KC1 4 mM, HEPES 10 mM, CaCh 2 mM, MgCh 1 mM, glucose 5 mM, and NMDG 60 mM (pH7.4). All compounds were dispensed from initial 10 mM DMSO stocks. An industry standard +60 / - 40 mV voltage protocol was applied every 15 seconds. Compounds were tested in a 6-point cumulative assay (final DMSO concentration 0.33%), with a concentration range of 139 nM to 40 uM. Data were analyzed in Genedata Screener®. ICso values were determined by plotting % inhibition versus log compound concentration and using a one site dose response model. Only wells that passed acceptance criteria for this platform were used in this analysis (30 MegaOhm seal resistance, Z prime >0.4 and current size >0.2 nA). Data are reported in Table 36 for Atropisomers A-l and A-2.B. hERG Assay l
[0292] Experiments were performed on the QPatch II 48X (Sophion Biosciences) high throughput patch clamp platform at room temperature and used single hole Qplates. hERG DUO cell line (BSys) was used. The internal patch clamp solution was KF 60 mM, KC1 70 mM, HEPES 10 mM, EGTA 10 mM, and 5 mM Mg ATP (pH7.2). After sealing and whole cell access was gained the external solution (NaCl 140 mM, KC1 4 mM, HEPES 10 mM, CaCh 2 mM, MgCh 1 mM, glucose 5 mM (pH 7.4) was applied twice to establish stable baseline currents. An industry standard +40 / -40 mV voltage protocol was applied every 15 seconds. All compounds were tested in a 6-point cumulative assay (final DMSO concentration 0.4-2 % depending on stock concentration of compounds). Compounds were dispensed from initial 10 mM or 50 mM DMSO stocks after which DMSO dilutions were undertaken with a top concentration of 200 pM tested. Solvent controls were run in all experiments in line with the DMSO % required. Only wells that passed acceptance criteria for this platform were used in this analysis (500 MegaOhm seal resistance and current size >0.2 nA). Analysis was completed inPrism Graphpad to complete a composite IC50, by plotting % inhibition versus log compound concentration and using a log(inhibitor) vs. response — Variable slope. Data are reported in Table 36 for Atropisomer A-2.C. hERG Assay 3
[0293] Experiments were performed on the QPatchll 48X(Sophion Biosciences) high throughput patch clamp platform at 30 degrees Celsius using single holes QChips (Sophion Bioscience). Chinese hamster ovary KI (CHO) cell lines over-expressing the hERG ion channel were used from live culture. All compounds were dispensed as solid stocks in glass vials. Compounds were solubilised to 10 or 50 mM DMSO stocks on the day of experiments, after which dilutions in DMSO we undertaken. Stamps of DMSO stocks were made into an MTP plate using glass vials, after which extracellular solution was backfilled creating testing concentrations with a highest concentration of 40 and 200 pM, respectively. The internal patch clamp solution was KF 60 mM, KC1 70 mM, HEPES 10 mM, EGTA 10 mM, and 5mM Mg ATP (pH7.2). After sealing and whole cell access was gained the external solution (NaCl 140 mM, KC1 4 mM, HEPES 10 mM, CaCh 2 mM, MgCh 1 mM, glucose 5 mM (pH7.4) supplemented with 0.4% DMSO was applied twice to establish stable baseline currents. An industry standard +40 / -40 mV voltage protocol was applied every 15 seconds. Cells were then applied with a single concentration of compound for a minimum of 15 minutes (a bolus addition every 3 minutes). Analysis was completed in Prism Graphpad to complete a composite IC50, by plotting % inhibition versus log compound concentration and using a log(inhibitor) vs. response — Variable slope Only wells that passed previously agreed acceptance criteria for this platform were used in this analysis (500 MegaOhm seal resistance and current size >0.2 nA). Data are reported in Table 36 for Atropisomer A-2.TABLE 361IC50 is reported after a single measurement (n=l) or as an average for multiple measurements (n>l).Example 16: Muscarinic M2 Receptor Assay
[0294] Cell membrane homogenates (60 pg protein) were incubated for 60 minutes at 22°C with 2 nM [3H]AF-DX 384 in the absence or presence of the test compound in a buffer containing 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 120 mM NaCl, 5 mM KC1, 5 mM MgCh, and 1 mM EDTA. Nonspecific binding was determined in the presence of 1 pM atropine. Following incubation, the samples were filtered rapidly under vacuum through glass fiber filters (GF / B, Packard) presoaked with 0.3% PEI and rinsed several times with ice-cold 50 mM Tris-HCl using a 96-sample cell harvester (Unifilter, Packard). The filters were dried then counted for radioactivity in a scintillation counter (Topcount, Packard) using a scintillation cocktail (Microscint 0, Packard). The results were expressed as a percent inhibition of the control radioligand specific binding, from which the Ki was calculated. Data were analyzed using software developed at Cerep (Hill software) and validated by comparison with data generated by the commercial software SigmaPlot®4.0 for Windows® (© 1997 by SPSS Inc.). The inhibition constant, Ki, was calculated using the Cheng Prusoff equation:Ki = ICso / (1+L / Kd) where L = concentration of ligand in the assay, and Kd = affinity of the ligand for the receptor.
[0295] The standard reference compound was methoctramine, which was tested in each experiment at several concentrations to obtain a competition curve from which its IC50 was calculated. Data are reported in Table 37 for Atropisomers A-l and A-2.TABLE 371IC50 is reported after a single measurement (n=l) or as an average for multiple measurements (n>l).Example 17: Metabolic Stability AssaysA.

[0306] The human hepatocyte vial was thawed at 37°C in a waterbath. Once thawed,contents were poured into a 50mL conical tube and centrifuged at 100 g for 10 minutes. The thawing medium was poured out and 4mL L-15 medium was added. The tube was gently shaken to resuspend the hepatocytes and cells were counted with an appropriate cell counter.247.5 mL of the hepatocyte suspension was transferred into each well of the plate and prewarmed at 600 rpm and 50°C to enable the temperature to rise to 37°C.
[0307] 2.5 mL of the 100 mmol / L test compound solution was added to initiate the reaction (final concentration 1 mM) and incubated at 37°C with shaking at 900 rpm. At 0.5, 5, 15, 30, 45, 60, 80, 100 and 120 minutes, 20mL was taken into a quenching solution of acetonitrile containing internal standards. The mix was vortexed at 800 rpm for 2 minutes followed by centrifugation for 20 minutes at 4000 rpm at 4°C. 40 mL of supernatant was transferred into a 96 well analysis plate containing 160 mL of water in each well. The analysis plate was shaken at 100 rpm for 2 minutes prior to analysis by LC-MS / MS.Calculation of Human Hepatocyte CLint
[0308] Peak areas were determined from extracted ion chromatograms. Percent parent remaining was calculated from peak area of test compound. The slope value, k, was determined by linear regression of the natural logarithm of percent parent remaining versus incubation time. The in vitro intrinsic clearance (in vitro CLint in mL / min / 106cells) was determined from the slope value using the following equation: in vitro Clj„t= kV / N where V is the incubation volume (0.25 mL) and N is the number of hepatocytes per well (0.25 x 106cells). Data are reported in Table 38 for Atropisomers A-l and A-2.TABLE 381ICso is reported after a single measurement (n=l) or as an average for multiple measurements (n>l).Example 18: Intrinsic Intestinal Caco-2 Cell Monolayers Cell Permeation Assay in thePresence of Efflux InhibitorsMaterial and Reagents
[0309] Caco-2 cells were obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). HEPES, penicillin, streptomycin, bovine serum albumin (BSA) were obtained from Beijing Xinjingke Biotechnology Co, Ltd. Fetal bovine serum, Hank’s balanced salt solution (HBSS) and non-essential amino acids (NEAA) were purchased from Gibco. Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium (DMEM) was purchased from Corning and MES from Sigma. HTS Transwell- 24 permeable supports were purchased from Corning. Zosuquidar and Ko- 143 were obtained from MedChemExpress and Benzbromarone from Sigma.Preparation for Cell Seeding
[0310] The Caco-2 cell culture medium consisted of DMEM with high glucose and L- glutamine supplemented with 10% FBS, 0.1 mg / mL streptomycin, 100 units of penicillin, 0.6 mg / mL kanamycin sulfate and 1 x NEAA. 100 mL culture medium was added to each Transwell insert with 800 mL added to each well of the reservoir. After incubation at 37°C in 5% CO2 for one hour, the plates were ready for seeding.
[0311] The cells were cultivated in T-75 flasks at 37°C, 5% CO2, 95% relative humidity. At 80 to 90% confluence, cells were treated with trypsin / EDTA treatment until they became detached. The trypsin / EDTA was inactivated by adding excess serum containing medium. The cell suspension was centrifuged at 120 g for 10 minutes followed by resuspension of the cell pellet in seeding medium at a cell density of 7.92 x 105cells / mL.Seeding and Feeding of Caco-2 Cells into Transwell Plates
[0312] 100 mL of the resulting cell suspension was added to each well of the Transwell plate and incubated for 14 to 18 days, with medium replaced every other day. After incubation for 14 to 18 days, the cells should have reached confluence and should be tested for electrical resistance using a Millicel Epithelial Volt-Ohm measuring system (Millipore).Performing the Drug Transport Assay
[0313] The cell monolayers were washed twice with pre-warmed HBSS and incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes under gentle shaking (480rpm).
[0314] The compound under test was presented as a 10 mM DMSO stock solution. 2 mL of the 10 mM stock was added to 8 mL DMSO to produce a 2 mM stock. 2 mL was added to 398 mL of HBSS containing 10 mM Zosuquidar, 30 mM Benzbromarone and 2 mM KO-143 to make a lOmM drug stock solution.
[0315] 210 mL of the test compound solution was added to the apical compartment of the Transwell plate, with a 10 mL sample taken to act as the time 0 sample. The wells of the receiver (basolateral) compartment were filled with 800 mL HBSS (containing the efflux inhibitors). The plates were incubated at 37°C with shaking at 480 rpm for 120 minutes with sampling at 45 and 120 minutes.
[0316] At each sampling time (0, 45 and 120 minutes) 10 mL was removed from the apical compartment and add to 90 mL (HBSS containing the efflux inhibitors). 100 mL was removed from each basolateral compartment. 3 volumes of cold acetonitrile containing internal standard was added to each sample and vortex mixed for 10 minutes at 100 rpm. Samples were then centrifuged at 400 rpm for 20 minutes. 50 mL of the supernatant was taken for LC / MS / MS analysis to determine compound concentration.Calculation of Apparent Permeability and Recovery
[0317] The apparent permeability (Papp), in units of centimetre per second, were calculated for Caco-2 drug transport using the following equation:where CR is the concentration of compound in the receiver side at the respective time point, CD is the concentration of compound in the donor side at the respective timepoint. Area is the surface area of the membrane and time is 4500 seconds (75 x 60 seconds).
[0318] The recovery rate (0-120 minutes) was determined using the following equation:where VR IS the volume (in mL) in the acceptor well and VD is the volume (in mL) in the donorwell.
