Description

Solid forms of ceritinib free base
Field of the invention The invention relates to solid forms of 5-chloro-N2-[2-isopropoxy-5-methyl-4-(4- piperidinyl)phenyl]-N4-[2-(isopropylsulfonyl)phenyl]-2,4-pyrimidinediamine of formula I, known as ceritinib, methods of their preparation and use in a dosage form.
(I)
Ceritinib (CAS no. 1032900-25-6) belongs to the group of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitors and is designed for the treatment of lung cancer, incl. non-small cell lung carcinoma. Ceritinib free base was approved under the trade name Zykadia by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of adult patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) positive for anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), formerly treated with crizotinib.
Background of the Invention Preparation of ceritinib and its isolation was first described in the patent application WO 2008/073687, in Example 7 (compound 66). The patent application WO 2012/082972 described preparation and characterization methods of ceritinib dihydrochloride and two crystalline forms of ceritinib free base (Forms A, B).
Many pharmaceutical solid compounds can exist in various crystalline forms that are considered as polymorphs and hydrates/solvates, having different crystal units and thus different physicochemical properties such as the melting point, solubility, dissolution rate, as well as bioavailability. To distinguish individual solid phases of a compound, several solid- state analytic methods can be used, e.g. X-ray powder diffraction, solid-state NMR, Raman spectroscopy as well as thermoanalytical methods.
Discovering new solid phases (polymorphs, solvates and hydrates) of an active pharmaceutical ingredient offers an opportunity to select a suitable modification with desired physicochemical properties and processability and to improve the characteristics of the pharmaceutical product. For this reason, there is an obvious need of novel solid forms (polymorphs, solvates, hydrates) of ceritinib.

Biological availability of active pharmaceutical ingredients greatly depends on whether a crystalline or amorphous product is obtained. An amorphous product is usually more rapidly soluble, it cannot often be obtained in the required quality and it is also often unstable. Conversely, compared to the amorphous form, a crystalline product is often stable, its required purity is easier to achieve and it dissolves more slowly. The problem may be solved by crystalline forms of active pharmaceutical ingredients with a lower melting point, wherein such crystal arrangement guarantees higher solubility of the crystalline form, or by the use of the amorphous form of the active pharmaceutical ingredient. This invention provides solid forms of ceritinib free base in a crystalline form, wherein the obtained crystalline forms exhibit a lower melting point than the known crystalline forms of ceritinib free base, and the amorphous form of ceritinib free base.
The invention provides pharmaceutically acceptable solid forms of ceritinib free base and methods for their preparation. These solid forms of ceritinib can be prepared in adequate ratios and yields with high chemical purity in a crystalline or amorphous form. They can be both anhydrous or non-solvated and in the form of hydrates/solvates of the respective solvents.
The prepared solid forms of ceritinib may have various internal arrangements (polymorphism) with different physicochemical properties depending on the conditions of their preparation.
Preparation of the solid forms of ceritinib of formula I in accordance with the present invention is done by crystallization, precipitation or evaporation from a solution of ceritinib in a suitable solvent or mixtures of solvents. Ketones, esters, ethers, amides, nitriles or organic acids, alcohols, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons, water or their mixtures can be used as suitable solvents. Aliphatic Ci-C4 alcohols, substituted aromatic solvents, esters or their mixtures are preferred. The most commonly used solvents are toluene, methanol, ethanol, water or their mixtures.
The resulting product is precipitated or crystallized typically at temperatures in the range of from -30°C to the boiling point of the solvent.
In this invention, the amorphous form of ceritinib free base is preferred, which exhibits higher solubility and biological availability than the corresponding crystalline forms due to its amorphous character. The prepared amorphous form of ceritinib free base exhibits a sufficiently high glass transition temperature, which makes it sufficiently stable for use in a dosage form.
Of the described preparation processes of crystalline forms of ceritinib free base, the process of preparation from methanol is preferred as the prepared crystalline product exhibits suitable stability for use in the dosage form and is not solvated. Crystalline forms of ceritinib can be prepared and isolated with high chemical purity.
