Solution Overview

Problem

The pharmaceutical field lacks stable and reproducible crystalline forms of the compound (S)-4-amino-6-((1-(3-chloro-6-phenylimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazin-7-yl)ethyl)amino)pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile, which are essential for effective inhibition of PI3K activity in treating autoimmune diseases and cancer, due to unpredictability in polymorphism and properties of solid forms.

Innovation Solution

Development of specific crystalline forms, such as Form I, Form IV, Form V, and solvates like monoacetone solvate and water and i-propanol solvate, which exhibit good crystallinity, stability, and non-hygroscopicity, along with methods for their reproducible preparation and use in pharmaceutical compositions.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If polymorphism of the compound is considered, then multiple crystalline forms can be obtained, but the stability and reproducibility of the solid forms become unpredictable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecrystalline form varietyVSAvoidstability and reproducibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by systematically varying crystallization conditions including solvent types (acetone, ethanol, water, i-propanol), temperatures (room temperature to reflux), and pH levels to obtain different stable crystalline forms (Forms I, IV, V, VI, VIII) with defined properties

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses solvates as intermediary structures where solvent molecules are incorporated into the crystal lattice, creating stable intermediate forms that bridge different polymorphic states. Examples include monoacetone solvate (Form VI) and water and i-propanol solvate (Form VIII)

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If different solid forms of the compound are developed, then biopharmaceutical properties such as solubility and bioavailability can be optimized, but the complexity of characterization and differentiation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebiopharmaceutical property optimizationVSAvoidcharacterization complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) patterns as a fingerprinting system for each crystalline form, where specific diffraction peaks at defined 2θ angles serve as unique identifiers for differentiation and quality control

Inventive Principle:
