When X-rays are irradiated onto a crystal, they are reflected by the crystal lattice planes and interfere with each other, showing ordered diffraction lines corresponding to the periodicity of the structure. On the other hand, amorphous solids usually do not have an ordered repeating periodicity in their structure, so diffraction does not occur, and they show a featureless broad XRPD pattern (also called a halo pattern). 【0052】 The characteristic diffraction peaks used herein are peaks selected from the observed diffraction pattern. Preferably, the characteristic diffraction peaks are selected from about 10, more preferably about 5, peaks in the diffraction pattern. In distinguishing between multiple crystals, a peak observed in a particular crystal but not in others is a preferred characteristic peak for identifying that crystal, rather than a peak with high intensity. Even one or two such characteristic peaks can characterize the crystal. If the measured patterns are compared and these characteristic peaks match, the powder X-ray diffraction patterns can be said to be substantially identical. 【0053】Generally, the diffraction angle (2θ) in powder X-ray diffraction can have an error within a range of ±0.2°. Therefore, it is necessary to understand that the diffraction angle value in powder X-ray diffraction includes values ​​within a range of approximately ±0.2°. Accordingly, the present invention includes not only crystals in which the diffraction angles of the peaks in powder X-ray diffraction perfectly match, but also crystals in which the diffraction angles of the peaks match with an error of approximately ±0.2°. 【0054】 The peak intensity shown in the following figure is generally known to vary depending on many factors, such as the effect of selective orientation of the crystal on the X-ray beam, the influence of coarse particles, the purity of the substance being analyzed, or the crystallinity of the sample. The peak position may also shift based on variations in sample height. Furthermore, measurements using different wavelengths yield different shifts according to the Bragg equation (nλ = 2dsinθ), and these alternative XRPD patterns obtained using different wavelengths are also within the scope of the present invention. 【0055】 By combining a powder X-ray diffractometer with a temperature and / or relative humidity control device, powder X-ray diffraction measurements can be performed under specific temperature and / or relative humidity conditions. For example, when anhydrous crystals change to hydrate crystals due to moisture absorption, when hydrate crystals change to anhydrous crystals due to dehydration, when solvate crystals undergo a crystal transition to anhydrous crystals due to solvent desorption, or when anhydrous crystals and hydrate crystals reversibly change due to moisture absorption and dehydration, measurements under specific temperature and / or relative humidity conditions, or measurements with continuously changing temperature and / or relative humidity, are suitable. In such cases, it is possible to estimate the relative humidity at which the change occurs and the amount of crystal water and / or crystal solvent. 【0056】 The crystalline form of the compound represented by formula (I) can be identified by the powder X-ray diffraction pattern and the diffraction angle (2θ) of the characteristic peak. The crystalline form of the compound represented by formula (I) (for example, the anhydride of the compound represented by formula (I)) can be distinguished from other crystalline forms by the presence of a characteristic peak. 【0057】(Powder X-ray diffraction - Differential scanning calorimetry (XRD-DSC)) Simultaneous measurement of powder X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry (XRD-DSC measurement) allows for the simultaneous observation of changes in crystal morphology (crystal structure) and calorimetry in response to temperature and / or relative humidity. For example, it is suitable for observing changes in crystal morphology (crystal structure) when anhydrous crystals undergo a crystal transition to hydrate crystals due to moisture absorption, when hydrate crystals undergo a crystal transition to anhydrous crystals due to dehydration, when solvate crystals undergo a crystal transition to anhydrous crystals due to solvent desorption, and when anhydrous crystals and hydrate crystals undergo a reversible crystal transition due to moisture absorption and dehydration. 【0058】 (Single Crystal Structure Analysis) Single crystal structure analysis is one method for determining crystal morphology, and it can obtain crystallographic parameters, as well as atomic coordinates (values ​​indicating the spatial positional relationship of each atom) and a three-dimensional structural model. For single crystal structure analysis, refer to "A Guide to X-ray Structure Analysis" by Toshio Sakurai, published by Shokabo (1983), and "X-Ray Structure Determination: A Practical Guide" by Stout & Jensen, Macmillan Co., New York (1968). Single crystal structure analysis is useful when identifying the structures of optical isomers, tautomers, geometric isomers, salts, cocrystals, and solvates (hydrates). It is known that the quality of data from single crystal X-ray diffraction experiments can be improved by performing measurements at low temperatures, so measurements should be performed at room temperature or low temperature depending on the crystal being measured. Furthermore, it is known that the quality of data obtained from single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments of hydrates and / or solvates can be improved by coating the crystals with paraffin oil or the like before measurement. 【0059】(Raman Spectroscopy) Raman spectra exhibit the vibrational characteristics of molecules or complex systems. Their origin lies in the inelastic collisions between molecules and photons, which are particles of light. Collisions between molecules and photons result in an exchange of energy, which in turn changes the energy and thus the wavelength of the photons. In other words, since Raman spectra are spectral lines with an extremely narrow wavelength range emitted when photons are incident on a target molecule, lasers and the like are used as light sources. The wavelength of each Raman line is expressed by the wavenumber shift from the incident light, which is the difference between the wavelength of the Raman line and the reciprocal of the wavelength of the incident light. Raman spectra measure the vibrational state of a molecule, which is determined by its molecular structure. Generally, the wavelength shift amount (cm) in a Raman spectrum is... -1 ) ±2cm -1 Because errors can occur within this range, the Raman spectral peak values ​​are ±2 cm. -1 It is necessary to understand that this includes values ​​within a certain range. Therefore, not only crystals where the Raman spectral peaks perfectly match in the Raman spectrum, but also crystals where the Raman spectral peaks are within ±2 cm. -1 Crystals that match with a degree of error are also included in this invention. 【0060】(Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)) Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is one of the main measurement methods for thermal analysis, and it is a method for measuring the thermal properties of a substance as an aggregate of atoms and molecules. DSC measures the change in heat quantity of a pharmaceutical active ingredient with respect to temperature or time, and a differential scanning calorimetry curve is obtained by plotting the obtained data against temperature or time. From the differential scanning calorimetry curve, information can be obtained regarding the onset temperature (extrapolated melting point onset temperature) when the pharmaceutical active ingredient melts, the maximum value of the endothermic peak curve associated with melting, and enthalpy. It is known that the temperature observed in DSC may depend on the rate of temperature change, the sample preparation technique used, and the specific equipment. Therefore, the "melting point" in DSC refers to the onset temperature (extrapolated melting point onset temperature), which is less affected by the sample preparation technique. The error range of the onset temperature (extrapolated melting point onset temperature) obtained from the differential scanning calorimetry curve is approximately ±2°C. In determining the identity of a crystal, not only the melting point but also the overall pattern is important, and this may vary to some extent depending on the measurement conditions and measuring equipment. 【0061】 (Differential Thermal-Thermogravimetric Analysis (TG / DTA)) Differential thermal-thermogravimetric analysis (TG / DTA) is one of the main measurement methods for thermal analysis, and it is a method for measuring the weight and thermal properties of a substance as an aggregate of atoms and molecules. TG / DTA is a method for measuring the change in weight and heat quantity of a pharmaceutical active ingredient with respect to temperature or time, and by plotting the obtained data against temperature or time, TG (thermogravimetric) and DTA (differential thermal) curves are obtained. From the TG / DTA curve, information on the change in weight and heat quantity related to the decomposition, dehydration, oxidation, reduction, sublimation, and evaporation of the pharmaceutical active ingredient can be obtained. It is known that the temperature and weight changes observed in TG / DTA may depend on the rate of temperature change, the sample preparation technique used, and the specific equipment. Therefore, the "melting point" in TG / DTA refers to the onset temperature (extrapolated melting point onset temperature), which is less affected by the sample preparation technique. In determining the identity of a crystal, not only the melting point but also the overall pattern is important, and this can vary somewhat depending on the measurement conditions and equipment. 【0062】(Particle Size Distribution) In this specification, "D10, D50, D90" refers to the particle size at which the cumulative curve reaches 10%, 50%, and 90% when the total volume of the powder aggregate is taken as 100%, and can be measured by dry or wet methods. 【0063】 (Laser Diffraction Scattering Method) The laser diffraction scattering method is one method for measuring particle size. When a particle is irradiated with laser light, the particle size and distribution can be calculated from the intensity pattern of the light diffracted and scattered according to the particle size. In this application, the laser diffraction scattering method was used when measuring particle size using the dry method. 【0064】 (Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS)) Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) is a technique specifically designed for measuring the particle size distribution of nanoscale particles in solution (1 × 10⁻⁶). -9 This is a practical and simple method for measuring microparticles on the order of m. Microparticles dispersed in suspensions or solutions usually undergo Brownian motion, and it is known that the smaller the particle, the faster its motion. By irradiating particles dispersed in a solvent with laser light, the phenomenon of light scattering is measured, and the autocorrelation function of the light scattering pattern is analyzed from this data. From the motion velocity of the microparticles and the time scale of the correlation function, the size and distribution of the microparticles can be calculated. Z-average is the average hydrodynamic diameter based on the light intensity obtained by DLS. It is useful when the particle size is relatively uniform and is used as a measurement result. In this application, DLS was used when measuring particle size in a wet state. 【0065】 The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples and test examples. The present invention is not limited thereto. With respect to numerical values ​​(e.g., quantity, temperature, etc.), some errors and deviations should be taken into consideration. 【0066】(Method for producing the compound represented by formula (I)) The compound represented by formula (I) is compound (I-077) described in International Publication No. 2023 / 195529 and International Publication No. 2023 / 195530, and can be produced by the synthesis method of Examples 5-6 described in said literature. It can also be synthesized by referring to methods known in the art. Extraction, purification, etc., can be carried out using the same procedures as in a normal organic chemistry experiment. 【0067】 (Biological tests of the compound represented by formula (I)) The results of the biological tests of the compound represented by formula (I) are described as compound (I-077) in International Publication No. 2023 / 195529 and International Publication No. 2023 / 195530. 【0068】 (Example 1: Grinding of the compound represented by formula (I)) The compound represented by formula (I), prepared by the synthesis methods of Examples 5-6 in International Publication No. 2023 / 195529 and International Publication No. 2023 / 195530, was sieved through a 1000 μM mesh and then ground under the following conditions: Apparatus: A-O Jet Mill (Seishin Corporation) Feeding method: Feeder Feeding rate: 20 g / hour Grinding pressure: 0.30 MPa Feeding pressure: 0.40 MPa 【0069】(Test Example 1: Powder X-ray Diffraction Experiment (XRPD) Powder X-ray diffraction measurement was performed on the compound shown in formula (I) after grinding in Example 1, according to the powder X-ray diffraction measurement method described in the general test methods of the Japanese Pharmacopoeia.
