Disclosure of the Invention In accordance with the present invention, there are novel crystal forms of (2S,3S,5S)-2-(2,6-dimethylphenoxyacetyl)amino-3-hydroxy-5-(2-(1tetrahydropyrimid-2-onyl)-3-methylbutanoyl)amino-1,6-diphenylhexane (lopinavir).

L4 In one embodiment of the present invention there are hydrated crystal forms of lopinavir. For the sake of identification, the hydrated crystal forms are designated as Type I. The Type I hydrated crystal forms of lopinavir comprise from about 0.5 molecules of water per molecule of lopinavir to about 2 molecules of water per molecule of lopinavir.

The Type I hydrated crystal forms of lopinavir are useful in the purification or isolation of lopinavir during the final steps of the process for preparing lopinavir S and in the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions for administering lopinavir.

SThe Type I hydrated crystal form of lopinavir comprising about 0O molecules of water per molecule of lopinavir is hygroscopic. Therefore, unless maintained under conditions of about 0% relative humidity, the Type I hydrated crystal form of lopinavir comprises greater than 0.5 molecules of water per molecule of lopinavir. If a Type I hydrated crystal form of lopinavir is dehydrated to below about 0.5 molecules of water per molecule of lopinavir, amorphous lb lopinavir is obtained.

While the Type I crystal forms of lopinavir comprising 0.5 molecules of water per molecule of lopinavir and about 2 molecules of water per molecule of lopinavir represent the lower and upper ranges, respectively, of water of solvation observed for crystalline Type I hydrated forms of lopinavir, water content of the crystal form may vary within this range depending on the temperature and water content of the environment of the crystal form. The term "Type I higher hydrated crystal form" will be used herein to refer to the Type I hydrated crystal forms of lopinavir comprising from greater than 0.5 molecules of water per molecule of lopinavir up to about 2 molecules of water per molecule of lopinavir. Preferably, "2 the Type I higher hydrated crystal form of lopinavir comprises from about 0.75 to about 1.9 molecules of water per molecule of lopinavir. More preferably, the Type I higher hydrated crystal form of lopinavir comprises from about 1.0 to about 1.8 molecules of water per molecule of lopinavir.

In a preferred embodiment, the Type I hydrated crystal forms of lopinavir are substantially pure, relative to other forms of lopinavir, including amorphous, solvated forms, non-solvated and desolvated forms.

It has been found that the solid state FT mid-infrared spectrum is a means of characterizing the Type I hydrated crystal forms of lopinavir and differentiating the hydrated crystal forms from other crystal forms of lopinavir.

The Type I hydrated crystal forms of lopinavir (including the substantially pure Type I hydrated crystal forms of lopinavir) have the characteristic solid state FT mid-infrared bands shown in Table 1. Table 1 shows the range of peak positions for each of 17 characteristic mid-infrared bands in the solid state FT mid-IR spectrum of Type I hydrated crystal forms of lopinavir. This means that any Type I hydrated crystal form of lopinavir will have a peak at a position within the range (minimum to maximum) for each of peaks shown in Table 1.

Most characteristic of the Type I hydrated crystal forms of lopinavir (including the substantially pure Type I hydrated crystal forms of lopinavir) are the positions of the solid state FT mid-infrared bands for the amide bond carbonyl stretching. These bands are located within the ranges 1652-1666 cmland 1606- 1615 cm 1 for the Type I hydrated crystal forms of lopinavir. Any Type I hydrated crystal form of lopinavir (including the substantially pure Type I hydrated crystal Sforms of lopinavir) will have a peak at a position within the range 1652-1666 cm and a peak at a position within the range 1606-1615 cm 1 The Type I hydrated crystal forms of lopinavir (including the substantially pure Type I hydrated crystal forms of lopinavir) are further characterized by a solid state infrared peak at a position within each of the ranges 778-783 cm 1 765-769 cm 1 755-759 cm 1 and 738-742 cm 1 Table 1 Ranges of Peak Positions for Solid State FT Mid-IR Bands for Type I Hydrated Crystal Forms of Lopinavir Minimum cm-1 Cm1 Maximum m-1 P m Intensity* S 3495 S 3371 3281 3058 3024 2958 2926 2868 1652 1606 1524 1450 1404 1304 1187 1089 1048 W= weak; 3505 W/absent 3386 S/MS 3299

M moderate; MS moderately strong; S strong; VS very strong The Type I crystal form of lopinavir comprising about 0.5 molecules of water per molecule of lopinavir has the powder X-ray diffraction pattern which appears in FIG. 1. The Type I crystal form of lopinavir comprising about molecules of water per molecule of lopinavir has the solid state 1C nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum, FT near infrared spectrum and FT mid infrared spectrum which appear in FIG. 2, 3 and 4, respectively. The sample from which the infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra were obtained may contain somewhat more than 0.5 molecules of water per molecule of lopinavir due to the hygroscopicity of the crystal form when the level of hydration is about moleclues of water per molecule of lopinavir.

The two-theta angle positions of characteristic peaks in the powder X-ray (O diffraction pattern of the Type I hydrated crystal form of lopinavir comprising about 0.5 molecules of water per molecule of lopinavir (including the substantially pure Type I hydrated crystal forms of lopinavir comprising about 0.5 molecules of water per molecule of lopinavir) as shown in FIG. 1 are: 7.250 0.10, 8.530 0.10°, 10.460 11.05- 0.10, 11.710 0.10, 14.760 0.10, 15.30° 0.1°, 16.670 0.10, 17.32° 0.10, 19.100 0.10, 19.570 0.10, 21.240 0.10, 21.840 0.10 and 22.460 0.10.

The Type I hydrated crystal form of lopinavir comprising about molecules of water per molecule of lopinavir can be prepared from the Type I hydrated crystal form of lopinavir comprising greater than 0.5 molecules of water 2> per molecule of lopinavir by dehydrating at 0% relative humidity. If dehydration continues beyond the stage of the hemihydrate, amorphous lopinavir is obtained.

The Type I hydrated crystal form of lopinavir can be prepared from solution or suspension in water or from solutions in mixtures of water and water miscible organic solvents. Examples of water miscible organic solvents include Cl-C4 alcohols such as methanol, ethanol and the like; acetonitrile; and the like. In the mixtures of water and water miscible organic solvents, the amount of water can vary from about 10% by volume to about 90% by volume (preferably, from about to about 60% by volume). In a preferred method, the Type I higher hydrated crystal form of lopinavir can be prepared by crystallization of hydrated lopinavir from a warm solution in a mixture of water and ethanol, followed by extended exposure to an elevated relative humidity environment.

In addition, the Type I higher hydrated crystal form of lopinavir can be prepared by hydrating the Type I hemihydrate crystal form of lopinavir at elevated relative humidity (for example, at relative humidity of about 20% or more).

The Type I higher hydrated crystal form of lopinavir has the powder X-ray diffraction pattern, solid state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum, solid \O state FT near infrared spectrum and solid state FT mid infrared spectrum which appear in FIGS. 5, 6, 7 and 8, respectively.

The two-theta angle positions of characteristic peaks in the powder X-ray diffraction pattern of the Type I higher hydrated crystal form of lopinavir (including the substantially pure Type I higher hydrated crystal form of lopinavir) as shown in FIG. 5 are: 3.89° 0.10, 6.550 7.76 0.10, 8.550 0.10, 9.700 0.10, 10.560 0.10, 14.760 0.10, 15.570 0.10, 18.300 18.950 0.10 and 22.740 0.10.

More preferably, the Type I higher hydrated crystal form of lopinavir (including the substantially pure Type I higher hydrated crystal form of lopinavir) is characterized by peaks in the powder X-ray diffraction pattern having two-theta angle positions as shown in FIG. 5 of: 3.890 0.10, 6.550 0.10, 7.760 0.1°, 8.550 0.10, 9.70° 0.10, 10.560 0.10, 14.760 0.10, 15.060 0.10°, 15.57° 0.10, 16.490 0.10, 17.510 0.10, 18.300 0.10, 18.950 0.10, 21.730 0.10 and 22.740 0.10°.

Based on single crystal X-ray structure determination, the first embodiment of the solvated crystal forms of lopinavir involves a crystal structure in which stacks of lopinavir molecules are held together by hydrogen bond interactions and aligned along the short crystallographic axis. The solvent molecules play no role in the hydrogen bonding, but simply fill pockets that exist between the stacks of lopinavir molecules. For the sake of identification, the solvated crystal forms of lopinavir of this embodiment are designated as Type II.

Based on single crystal X-ray structure determination, the second embodiment of the solvated crystal forms of lopinavir involves a crystal structure in which the molecules of lopinavir are hydrogen bonded in sheets. The sheets of hydrogen bonded lopinavir molecules are wrinkled, producing channels that are occupied by varying amounts of solvent molecules. The solvent molecules play no role in the hydrogen bonding of the second embodiment of solvated crystal forms of lopinavir. For the sake of identification, the solvated crystal forms of lopinavir of this embodiment are designated as Type III.

Type II The Type II solvated crystal forms of lopinavir are useful for the purification or isolation of lopinavir during the final steps of the process for preparing lopinavir.

The Type II solvated crystal forms of lopinavir are particularly useful for obtaining crystalline lopinavir which is free from, or has greatly reduced amounts of, a variety of the impurities that result during the process for preparing lopinavir.

The Type II solvated crystal forms of lopinavir are typically hemisolvates.

In other words, for every asymmetric unit of the crystal there are two molecules of lopinavir and one molecule of solvent. Lower levels of solvation are also possible. The Type II solvated crystal forms of lopinavir can be partially desolvated by drying under vacuum with heating. However, if more than about of the maximum allowable solvent (maximum allowable is hemisolvated) is removed, amorphous lopinavir is obtained. Therefore, the Type II solvated crystal forms of lopinavir comprise from about 0.125 molecules of solvent per j_ molecule of lopinavir to about 0.5 molecules of solvent per molecule of lopinavir.

The Type II solvated crystal forms of lopinavir comprise relatively small polar organic solvents. Examples of such relatively small polar organic solvents include methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, iso-butanol, t-butanol, n-amyl alcohol, iso-amyl alcohol, t-pentanol, ethyl acetate, acetone, tetrahydrofuran, chloroform, methylene chloride, propylene glycol, methylethyl ketone, dimethylsulfoxide and the like.

In a preferred embodiment, the Type II solvated crystal forms of lopinavir are substantially pure, relative to other forms of lopinavir, incuding amorphous, hydrated forms, other solvated forms, non-solvated and desolvated forms.

It has been found that the solid state FT mid-infrared spectrum is a means for characterizing the Type II solvated crystal forms of lopinavir and differentiating the Type II solvated crystal forms of lopinavir from other crystal forms of lopinavir.

The Type II solvated crystal forms of lopinavir (including the substantially pure Type II solvated crystal forms of lopinavir) have the characteristic solid state 2o FT mid-infrared bands shown in Table 2. Table 2 shows the range of peak positions for each of the 18 characteristic mid-infrared bands in the solid state FT mid-IR spectrum of Type II solvated crystal forms of lopinavir. This means that any Type II solvated crystal form of lopinavir will have a peak at a position within the range (minimum to maximum) for each of the peaks shown in Table 2.

2z Most characteristic of the Type II solvated crystal forms of lopinavir (including the substantially pure Type II solvated crystal forms of lopinavir) are the positions of the solid state FT mid-infrared bands for the amide bond carbonyl stretching.

The solid state FT near infrared spectra of Type II solvated crystal forms of lopinavir (isopropanol, ethyl acetate and chloroform) appear in FIGS. 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18.

SThe Type II solvated crystal forms of lopinavir can be prepared by S suspending excess solid lopinavir in the solvent and allowing the suspension to 0 equilibrate over time. The Type II solvated crystal form of lopinavir is then S isolated by filtration.

I0 The Type II solvated crystal forms of lopinavir can also be prepared by cooling a supersaturated solution of lopinavir in the solvent, with or without the addition of seed crystals. The Type II solvated crystal form of lopinavir is then isolated by filtration.

The Type II solvated crystal forms of lopinavir can also be prepared by I allowing slow evaporation of the solvent from a solution of lopinavir. The Type II solvated crystal form of lopinavir is then isolated by filtration.

The Type II solvated crystal forms of lopinavir can also be prepared by slowly adding an antisolvent to a heated solution of lopinavir in the solvent, thereby inducing crystallization. The Type II solvated crystal form of lopinavir is 20 then isolated by filtration.

The Type III solvated crystal forms of lopinavir are particularly useful for obtaining crystalline lopinavir which is free from, or has greatly reduced amounts S of, a variety of the impurities that result during the process for preparing lopinavir.

SThe Type III solvated crystal forms of lopinavir are the thermodynamically stable crystal forms isolated from solvents that generally comprise hydrophobic organic solvents or solvents too large to fit within the crystal lattice of the Type II solvated crystal forms of lopinavir. The Type III solvated crystal forms of lopinavir comprise solvents including n-hexanol, n-octanol, 3-ethyl-3-pentanol, polyethylene glycol, ethyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, n-butyl acetate, glycerol triacetate, acetone, methyl isobutyl ketone, 2,4-dimethylpentanone, alphatetralone, methyl t-butyl ether, 2,2,4,4-tetramethyltetrahydrofuran, isosorbide dimethyl ether, toluene, tetralin, nitrobenzene, p-xylene, sulfolane, hexane, heptane, decalin, oleic acid and the like.

In a preferred embodiment, the Type Ill solvated crystal forms of lopinavir are substantially pure, relative to other forms of lopinavir, incuding amorphous, hydrated forms, other solvated forms, non-solvated and desolvated forms.

It has been found that the solid state FT mid-infrared spectrum is a means for characterizing the Type III solvated forms of lopinavir and differentiating the Type III solvated crystal forms of lopinavir from other crystal forms of lopinavir.

The Type III solvated crystal forms of lopinavir (including the substantially 33 pure Type III solvated crystal forms of lopinavir) have the characteristic solid state FT mid-infrared bands shown in Table 3. Table 3 shows the range of peak positions for each of the 16 characteristic mid-infrared bands in the solid state FT mid-IR spectrum of Type III solvated crystal forms of lopinavir. This means that any Type III solvated crystal form of lopinavir will have a peak at a position within the range (minimum to maximum) for each of the peaks shown in Table 3.

Most characteristic of the Type III solvated crystal forms of lopinavir J§ (including the substantially pure Type III solvated crystal forms of lopinavir) are the positions of the solid state FT mid-infrared bands for the amide bond carbonyl stretching. A band is located within the range 1655-1662 cm' 1 for the Type III solvated crystal forms of lopinavir.

L4 Example 13 Preparation of Type III ethyl acetate solvated crystal form of lopinavir Approximately 100 mg of lopinavir was dissolved in about 3 mL of ethyl acetate. To this solution was slowly and carefully added about 3 mL of heptane.

After standing, crystals of the Type III solvated crystal form of lopinavir grew by liquid diffusion crystallization.

Example 14 Preparation of Type III ethyl acetate solvated crystal form of lopinavir One portion of the lopinavir solution prepared in Example 9A was diluted with 14.8 grams of ethyl acetate and heated to 70-75 OC, then diluted with grams of heptanes while maintaining an internal temperature greater than 70 OC.

The resulting solution was heated to 75 oC for 15 minutes, then allowed to cool to ambient temperature gradually. After mixing overnight at ambient temperature the solids were collected by filtration, washed with 36 mL of ethyl acetate/heptanes (1:1 and dried under vacuum at 60 oC for 72 hours, affording 21.5 grams of the title compound.

Example Preparation of Type III desolvated crystal form of lopinavir Lopinavir (5 g) was placed in a 100 mL beaker. Just enough acetonitrile 0c was added to dissolve approximately 95% of the lopinavir. Some needle-shaped crystals remained undissolved. The beaker was placed inside a jar containing about a 1 cm deep layer of anhydrous calcium sulfate (DRIERITE). The jar was capped and the material was left undisturbed at ambient temperature. After standing overnight, a large amount of white crystalline material had precipitated.

The supernatant (about 6 mL) was decanted from the beaker. Fresh acetonitrile (3-4 mL) was added to the precipitate, which was then gently broken up with a spatula. The solid was collected by suction filtration and rinsed with about 1 mL Sof acetonitrile. The solid was transferred to a Petri dish and dried under vacuum at ambient temperature to give the Type III desolvated crystal form of lopinavir.

Powder X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed that the product was crystalline and infrared spectrometry confirmed that the product is the Type III crystal form of lopinavir. The product contained less than 0.05% volatile material by thermal gravimetry. Solid state FT mid-IR (FIG. 21). Solid state FT near IR (FIG. 22).

Powder X-ray diffraction analysis of samples was conducted in the following manner. Samples for X-ray diffraction analysis were prepared by spreading the sample powder (ground to a fine powder with a mortar and pestle, or with glass microscope slides for limited quantity samples) in a thin layer on the sample holder and gently flattening the sample with a microscope slide. Samples were run in one of three configurations: circular bulk holder, a quartz zero background plate or hot stage mount (similar mounting to a zero background plate). X-ray powder diffraction was performed using an XDS 2000 01/ diffractometer (Scintag; 2 kW normal focus X-ray tube with either a liquid nitrogen or Peltier cooled germanium solid state detector; 45 kV and 30-40 ma; X-ray source: Cu-Kal; Range: 2.00-40.00° Two Theta; Scan Rate: 0.5 or 2 eLo> degrees/minute), a XRD-6000 diffractometer (Shimadzu; fine focus X-ray tube with a Nal scintillation detector; 40-45 kV and 30-40 ma; X-ray source: Cu-Kal; Range: 2.00-40.00° Two Theta; Scan Rate: 2 degrees/minute) or a 1-2 X-ray diffractometer (Nicolet; scintillation detector; 50 kV and 30 ma; X-ray source: Cu- Kal; Range: 2.00-40.000 Two Theta; Scan Rate: 2 degrees/minute. The relative humidity of the sample in the hot stage mount could be controlled using a relative humidity generator (model RH200, VTI Corp.).

Characteristic powder X-ray diffraction pattern peak positions are reported for polymorphs in terms of the angular positions (two theta) with an allowable variability of 0.10. This allowable variability is specified by the U.S.

Pharmacopeia, pages 1843-1844 (1995). The variability of 0.10 is intended to be used when comparing two powder X-ray diffraction patterns. In practice, if a diffraction pattern peak from one pattern is assigned a range of angular positions S (two theta) which is the measured peak position 0.10 and a diffraction pattern peak from the other pattern is assigned a range of angular positions (two theta) which is the measured peak position 0.10 and if those ranges of peak positions o overlap, then the two peaks are considered to have the same angular position (two theta). For example, if a diffraction pattern peak from one pattern is determined to have a peak position of 5.200, for comparison purposes the allowable variability allows the peak to be assigned a position in the range of 5.100 5.300 If a comparison peak from the other diffraction pattern is determined to have a peak position of 5.350, for comparison purposes the allowable variability allows the peak to be assigned a position in the range of 5.250 5.450 Because there is overlap between the two ranges of peak positions 5.100 5.300 and 5.250 5.450) the two peaks being compared are considered to have the same angular position (two theta).
