-1 CRYSTALLINE FORMS OF 4-METHYL-N-[3-(4-METHYL-IIDAZOL-1-YL)-5 TRIFLUOROMETHYL-PHENYL]-3-(4-PYRIDIN-3-YL-PYRIMIDIN-2 YLAMINO)-BENZAMIDE This application is a divisional of Australian Patent Application No. 2012201453, which is itself a divisional application of Australian Patent Application No. 2011202047; which is itself a divisional application of Australian Patent Application No. 2006276204; the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Field of the Invention [0001] This relates to crystalline forms or polymorphs of 4-methyl-N-[3-(4-methyl imidazol-1-yl)-5-trifluoromethyl-phenyl]-3-(4-pyridin-3-yl-pyrimidin-2-ylamino) benzamide, as well as to methods of making the same, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same and methods of treating using the same. Related Background Art [0002] Polymorphism denotes the existence of more than one crystal structure of a substance. This ability of a chemical substance to crystallize in more than one crystal modification can have a profound effect on the shelf life, solubility, formulation properties, and processing properties of a drug. In addition, the action of a drug can be affected by the polymorphism of the drug molecule. Different polymorphs can have different rates of uptake in the body, leading to lower or higher biological activity than desired. In extreme cases, an undesired polymorph can even show toxicity. The occurrence of an unknown polymorphic form during manufacture can have an enormous impact. [00031 Understanding and controlling polymorphism, then, gives a decided advantage in bringing new drugs to the marketplace. First and foremost, predicting any possible polymorphs for a drug product can be used to diminish the possibility of contamination during a drug's manufacture or storage by other polymorphic forms. Failure to catch contamination can have life-threatening consequences in some cases. Crystallizing an unintended -2 polymorph during manufacture can mean weeks or even months of production downtime while scientists find and correct the cause of the new crystal form or go through another round of testing to obtain approval for the new form. [0004J Second, understanding which crystal structures are possible in some cases allows reseaivhers to maximize the desired properties of a compound, such as solubility, formulation properties, processing properties, and shelf life. Understanding these factors early in the development of a new drug nay mean a more active, more stable, or more cheaply manufthured drug. [0005] The compound 4-methyl-N-[3.(4-methyl-imidazol--yl)-.tdfluoromethyl-phenyl}-3 (4-pyridin-3-yl-pyrimidin-2-ylamino)-benzamide of the formula CH N H N N F F HC N is described in WO 2004/005281 Al, for example, in Example 92. Valuable pharmacological properties are attributed to this compound; thus, it cam be used, for example, as a protein kinase inhibitor usefl in therapy for diseases which respond to inhibition of protein kinase activity. Knowledge of the potential polymorphic forms of 4-methyl-N-[-(4-methyl imidazol-1-yl)-5-trifluoromethyl-phenyl]-3-(4-pyridin-3-y-pyrimidin-2-ylamino)-benzanide is useful in the development of a suitable dosage form, because the failure to utilize a single polymorphic form during clinical or stability studies may result in the exact dosage form being used or studied not being comparable from one lot to another. Once chosen, it is important that a polymorphic form can be reproducibly prepared and remain unchanged for prolonged time periods in the dosage form developed. It is also desirable to have a process -3 for producing 4-methyl-N-[3-(4-methyl-imidazol-1-y1)-5-trifluoromethyl-phenyl]-3-(4 pyridi-3-y-pyrimidin-2-ylamino)-benzamide in high purity since the presene of ipuities may produce undesired toxicological effects. [0006J WO 2004/005281 Al provides no information at all about possible crystal modifications of 4-methyl-N-[3-(4-methyl-imidazol-.yl)-5-tifluoromethyl-phenyl]-3-( 4 pyridin-3-yl-pyrimidin-2-yamino)-bnzamide. The compound is recrystallized from a mixture of tetrahydrofuran and ethyl acetate, but WO 2004/005281 Al gives no indication that the particular recrystallization used therein is to be applied or that particular conditions might be adopted to modify the crystalline form achieved. It has now surprisingly been found that the different cstal modifications (novel polymorphic form of 4-methy-N-[3-(4 mcthyl-imidazol-1 -yl)-5-trifluoromethyl-phenyl-3-(4-pyridin-3-yl-pyrimidin-2-yamino) benzamide) characterized below cah be prepared by choice of specially selected process conditions, e.g., choice of solvent system, duration of crystallization, etc. Sumnimary of the Invention [0007J The present invention is directed to substantially pure crystalline forms of 4-methyl N-P-(4-methyl-imidazol-1-yl)-5-trifluorometyl-phny1]-3-(4-pyridin-3-y-pyrimidin-2 ylamino)-benzamide free base.

Detailed Descriptlon of the Invention [0036] 4-methyl-N-[3-(4-methyl-imidazol-1-yl)-5-trifluoromethyl-phenyl-3-(4-pyridin-3-yl pyrinidin-2-ylamino)-benzamide free base, 4-methyl-N-[3-(4-methyl-imidazol-1-y)-5 trifluoromethyl-phenyl-3-(4-pyridin-3-yl-pyrimidin-2-ylamino)-benzamide hydrochloride and 4-methyl-N-[3-(4-methyl-imidzol--yl)-5-trifluoromethyl-pbeyl]-3-(4-pyridin-3-yl pyrimidin-2-yamino)-benzamide sulfate can be obtained in various crystalline forms. These "crystalline form(s)" (or "crystalline modification(s)" or "polymorphic formss" or "polymorph(s)", as the terms will be used interchangeably herein) differ with respect to thermodynamic stability, physical parameters, x-ray structure and preparation processes. While polymorphism classically refers to the ability of a compound to crystallize into more than one distinct crystal species (having identical chemical structure but quite different physicochemical properties), the term pseudopolymorphism is typically applied to solvate and hydrate crystalline forms. For purposes of this invention, however, both true polymorphs as well as pseudopolymorphs, i.e., hydrate and solvate forms, are included in the scope of "crystalline forms". In addition, "amorphous" refers to a disordered solid state. It should be noted that different samples of a particular crystalline form will share the same major XRPD .peaks, but that there can be variation in powder patterns with regard to minor peaks.

For example, each of the hydrochloride and sulfate salts exhibits several distinct crystalline forms. As used herein, "salt" refers to a compound prepared by the reaction of an organic acid or base drug with a pharmaceutically acceptable mineral or organic acid or base; suitable pharmaceutically acceptable minerals or organic acids or bases are as listed in Tables 1-8 in -10 Handbook ofPharmaceutical Salts, P.H.

The main RAMAN bands are about: 3078, 3026, 1975, 2930, 1672, 1610, 1602, 1593, 1541, 1476, 1451, 1400, 1385, 1332, 1303, 1263,1251, 1210, 1089, 1046,1033, 851, 802,755,660,483,456,395. 355, 317, 217, 243, 198, 160, 148, and 114 cm 1 . In a preferred embodiment.of the present invention, a substantially pure crystalline form B of the hydrochloride salt of 4-mothyl-N-[3 (4-methyl-imidazol-1-yl)-5-ifiluoromethyl-phenyl-3-(4-pyridi-3-yl-pyrimidin-2-ylamino) benzamide is characterized by an FT-RAMAN spectrum having at least one, more preferably at least two, still movie preferably at least four, and most preferably all, of the RAMAN bands noted above.. Th thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) curve for form B of the hydrochloride salt is shown in Figure 11. [0047] The x-ray powder diffraction pattern for form B' (anhydrous) Of the hydrochloride salt shows at least one, more preferably at least two, still more preferably at least four, and most preferably all, maxima selected from about 7.20, 9.20, 11.5" 12.0", 13.9*, I4.3", 15.4", 17.6", 18.6, 20.30, 21.7", 22.5", 23.2", 24.70, 24.9* 25.20 26.0",26.60, 27.5", 28.2*, 29.2" and 30.00 (20 degrees). A particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention is directed to a substantially pure crystalline form B' of the hydrochloride salt of 4-methyl-N-[3 (4-methyl-imidazol-1-yl)-5-trifluoromethyl-phenyl]-3-(4-pyridin-3-yl-pyrimidin-2-ylamino) bcnzamide as characterized by the XRPD of Figure 12. Exposed to moisture, the anhydrous form B' converts.back to the monohydrate. Overall, Form B is favored in solvents with low moisture content (<5%), and form A is favored in solvents with a high moisture content. Form B of the hydrochloride salt can be produced from methanol; however, it appears that it crystallizes first as a methanol solvate (form SD described further below) which then converts quickly to the monohydrate form B when exposed to air. The methanol solvate does not, however, convert to form B if vacuum dried; air drying suffices for conversion to form B. [00481 An additional embodiment of the present invention is directed to form SB of the hydrochloride salt, which is a dimethanol solvate corresponding to form B of the hydrochloride salt of 4-methyl-N-[3-(4-methyl-hmidazol-1-yl)-5-trifluoromethyl-phenyl}-3-(4 pyridin-3 -yl-pyrimidin-2-ylamino)-b.enzamide; this form can be isolated only if protected from ambient conditions, i.e., ambient moisture, which causes conversion to the forn B -14 monohydrate hydrochloride salt.

Form C appears to crystallize first as a methanol solvate (form Sc) which then converts quickly to the monohydrate form C when exposed to air.

Then the solutions were filtered and dried for 10 minutes in the air. The -29 solid part was investigated by XRPD. No form transitions occurred with the exception of one trial of frm B in water; in one instance, a mixture of free base forms A and B resulted, but those results could not be reproduced. [00831 In addition, about 100 mg of a mixture of form A and foran B of 4-methyl-N-[3-( 4 methyl-irmidazol-l-yl)-5-trifluoromethyl-phenyl-3-(4-pyridin-3-yl-pyrimidin-2-ylamino) benzamide free base was equilibrated with 2 mL of seven different solvents (ethanol absolute, methanol, tetrahydrofuran, water, tetrahydrofuran/water (1:1), ethanol/water (1:1), and methanol/water (1:1)) for one day in a water bath at 25"C. Then the solutions were filtered and dried for 10 minutes in the air. The solid part was investigated by XRPD, No form transitions occurred. Example 18 [0084] Solubility for each of form A, form B and a mixture of form A and B free base were determined from a saturated solution at 25 0 C. The results are listed in Table 14 below.

Examnle 19 [0086] 12 g 4-methyl-N-[3-(4-methyl-imidazol-1-yl)-5-trifluoromethyl-phenyl]-3-(4-pyridin 3-yl-pyrimidin-2-ylamino)-benzamide hydrochloride is dissolved in 192 mL of methanol and 21 ml of water at 52*C. The solution is heated to 64-66"C in 10 minutes and let stand for 45 minutes. The solution is then cooled doWn in 3 hours at 0"C. The solution spontaneously -30 crystallized before 0"C; therefore, the cooling ramp was stopped at-20*C and let stand wth' stirring for 2 days. The suspension is cooled down to 0*C in 2 hours before filtration under vacuum to obtain form A of the hydrochloride salt of 4-methyl-N-[3.(4-methyl-imidazol-1 yl)-5-trifluoromethyl-phenyl}-3-(4-pyridin-3-yl-pyrimidin-2-yLaino)-benzamnide. Example 20 [0087J 4-Methyl-N-[3-(4-methyl-imidazol.1-yl)-5-trifluoromethyl-phnyl]-3-(4-pyridin- 3 -yl pyrimidin-2-ylamino)-benzamide hydrochloride form B .is prepared by suspending free base in methanol at room temperature or at 50*C. 1.06 equivalent of 37% aqueous hydrochloric acid is added, and the mixture is heated to reflux (640C) to give a solution that is clarified by filttion. The clarfied solution is then cooled to 42C and seeded with 0.1% seeds per base. The seeds are suspended in a mixture of 99% methanol and 1% water. The suspension is stirred at 42*C for 2.5 hours and afterwards cooled down to -1 0C according to a slow cooling profile. At 20"C, the coolingmis interrupted for four hours in order to let a potentially formed methanol solvate transform to the desired monohydrate. [0088] The suspension is filtered and washed with two portions of methanol/water mixture (99% methanol/1% water). The filter cake is dried in an oven at 70"C under a vacuum below 10 mbar overnight. The water content after filtration was found to be below the theoretical value of 3.05% for 50 g scale and above. To assure the correct water content, a second drying stage is added where water is evaporated in a stirred vessel and transported to the dryer by a vacuum pump. The conditions in the dryer are changed to 60"C and 30 nbar in order to assure adequate conditions for the desired water content. The water is added until the saturation capacity is reached. With the described method, a water content of 3.5-3.6% was obtained with two lab scale (1 L) paddle dryer experiments.
