Lilly Reference 31425_WO-1-POLYMORPHS OF AN INTEGRIN Alpha5BetalFIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] Provided herein are polymorphs and salts of (S)-2- (methyl((lS,3S)-3-(4-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-l,8-naphthyridin-2-yl)butoxy)cyclopentyl)amino)-2-((S)-l-methylisochroman-8-yl)acetic acid compositions thereof, methods of preparation thereof, and methods of use thereof.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Fibronectin (Fn) is an extracellular matrix protein that orchestrates complex cell adhesion and signaling through cell surface integrin receptors (Fibronectin-binding integrins (e.g., a5[31 )) during tissue development, remodeling, and disease, such as hypertension and heart failure. Integrins are a family of glycoprotein transmembrane receptors that mediate cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions.
[0003] Integrin a5 i is composed of subunits ITGA5 (integrin a5) and integrin pi. Several integrins bind to fibronectin. Integrin a501 is selective for fibronectin since it requires both the 9thand 10thtype II repeats of fibronectin (FNIII-9 and FNIII-10) for interaction. Expression of 0.5(31 integrin is mainly in the vasculature and connective tissue. The integrin o5|31 (a5bl or alpha5 betal) is composed of an a5 (a5 or alpha5) and [31 (bl or betal) subunit. The a5 subunit forms a specific dimer with the betal subunit, and is widely expressed in most tissues. Integrin 0.5(31 almost exclusively mediates cell adhesion through an interaction with fibronectin, binding via the short arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD) adhesion motif. Endothelial cells and platelets can however bind to fibrin via a5pi. The a5pi interaction with fibronectin plays an important role in physiopathological angiogenesis and vascular integrity. The compound (S)-2-(methyl((lS,3S)-3-(4-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-l,8-naphthyridin-2-yl)butoxy)cyclopentyl)amino)-2-((S)-l-methylisochroman-8-yl)acetic acid (Compound 1), is described by preparations herein. Compound 1 can inhibit integrin a5pi. TheLilly Reference 31425_WO-2-N O CO2H structure of Compound 1 is provided:HCompound 1.
[0004] A polymorph of Compound 1 or a salt thereof may provide the advantages of bioavailability and stability and may be suitable for use as an active agent in a pharmaceutical composition. There is a need for a polymorph of Compound 1 with desired relative stability and control of form interconversion to provide a suitable polymorph for large scale production, transportation, storage, and pre-usage preparation. The ability to control and produce a relatively stable polymorph with robust manufacturing processes is generally required for regulatory approval and marketing; however, crystalline solid forms can have unanticipated and surprising physical properties. There is a need for a polymorph and / or salt form of Compound 1 enabling desired bioavailability and manufacturability. Alternative solid forms may be necessary for large-scale production processes. Accordingly, there is a need for various new salt or polymorphic forms of Compound 1 with desired chemical and physical stabilities, and compositions and uses of the same. Therefore, a polymorphic form of Compound 1 that is suitable for large scale manufacture is desired. A polymorphic form of Compound 1 providing a higher melting point and / or greater stability is also desired. There is a desire for a salt form suitable for manufacture and acceptable shelf-life stability.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0072] Variations in the crystal structure of a pharmaceutical drug substance may affect the dissolution rate (which may affect bioavailability, etc.), manufacturability (e.g., ease of handling, ease of purification, ability to consistently prepare doses of known strength, etc.) and stability (e.g., thermal stability, shelf life (including resistance to degradation), etc.) of a pharmaceutical drug product. Such variations may affect the methods of preparation or formulation of pharmaceutical compositions in different dosage or delivery forms, such as solid oral dosage forms including tablets and capsules. Compared to other forms such as non-crystalline or amorphous forms, polymorphs may provide desired or suitable hygroscopicity, particle size control, dissolution rate, solubility, purity, physical and chemical stability, manufacturability, yield, reproducibility, and / or process control. Thus, polymorphs of Compound 1 may provide advantages of improving the manufacturing process of an active agent or the stability or storability of a drug product form of the active agent, or having suitable bioavailability and / or stability as an active agent.Lilly Reference 31425_WO-14-

[0078] The XRPD patterns of crystalline solids are obtained on a Bruker D8 Endeavor X-ray powder diffractometer, equipped with a CuKa (1.5418 A) source and a LynxEye detector, operating at 40 kV and 40 mA. The sample is scanned between 4 and 42 20°, with a step size of 0.00920° and a scan rate of 0.5 seconds / step, and using 0.3° primary slit opening, and 3.9° PSD opening. The dry powder is packed on a quartz or silicon sample holder and a smooth surface is obtained using a glass slide. The crystal form diffraction patterns are collected at ambient temperature and relative humidity. CrystalLilly Reference 31425_WO-17-peak positions are determined in MDI-Jade after whole pattern shifting based on an internal NIST 675 standard with peaks at 8.853 and 26.774 2°. It is well known in the crystallographic art that, for any given crystal form, the relative intensities of the diffraction peaks may vary due to preferred orientation resulting from factors such as crystal morphology and habit. Where the effects of preferred orientation are present, peak intensities are altered, but the characteristic peak positions of the polymorph are unchanged. See, e.g. The United States Pharmacopeia #23, National Formulary #18, pages 1843-1844, 1995. Furthermore, it is also well known in the crystallography art that for any given crystal form the angular peak positions may vary slightly. For example, peak positions can shift due to a variation in the temperature at which a sample is analyzed, sample displacement, or the presence or absence of an internal standard. In the present case, a peak position variability of ± 0.220° is presumed to take into account these potential variations without hindering the unequivocal identification of the indicated crystal form. Confirmation of a crystal form may be made based on any unique combination of distinguishing peaks.
