Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods for preparing crystalline monocyclic peptide compounds, and salts or solvates thereof, which are peptide inhibitors of the interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R).
- the crystalline monocyclic peptide compounds, and salts or solvates thereof have favorable rheological (flow) properties making them suitable for pharmaceutical processing.
- the peptide inhibitors are useful for treatment of autoimmune inflammation diseases and related disorders.
- the interleukin-23 (IL-23) cytokine has been implicated as playing a crucial role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune inflammation and related diseases and disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), e.g., ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.
- IBDs inflammatory bowel diseases
- Studies in acute and chronic mouse models of IBD revealed a primary role of IL-23R and downstream effector cytokines in disease pathogenesis.
- IL-23R is expressed on various adaptive and innate immune cells including Th17 cells, ⁇ T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, and innate lymphoid cells, which are found abundantly in the intestine. At the intestine mucosal surface, the gene expression and protein levels of IL-23R are found to be elevated in IBD patients. It is believed that IL-23 mediates this effect by promoting the development of a pathogenic CD4 + T cell population that produces IL-6, IL-17, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF).
- TNF tumor necrosis factor
- IL-23 Production of IL-23 is enriched in the intestine, where it is believed to play a key role in regulating the balance between tolerance and immunity through T-cell-dependent and T-cell- independent pathways of intestinal inflammation through effects on T-helper 1 (Th1) and Th17- associated cytokines, as well as restraining regulatory T-cell responses in the gut, favoring inflammation.
- Th1 T-helper 1
- Th17- associated cytokines T-helper 1
- IBDs inflammatory bowel diseases
- Psoriasis a chronic skin disease affecting about 2%-3% of the general population has been shown to be mediated by the body’s T cell inflammatory response mechanisms.
- IL-23 has one of several interleukins implicated as a key player in the pathogenesis of psoriasis, purportedly by maintaining chronic autoimmune inflammation via the induction of interleukin-17, regulation of T memory cells, and activation of macrophages.
- Expression of IL- 23 and IL-23R has been shown to be increased in tissues of patients with psoriasis, and antibodies that neutralize IL-23 showed IL-23-dependent inhibition of psoriasis development in animal models of psoriasis.
- IL-23 is a heterodimer composed of a unique p19 subunit and the p40 subunit shared with IL-12, which is a cytokine involved in the development of interferon- ⁇ (IFN- ⁇ )-producing T helper 1 (TH1) cells.
- IFN- ⁇ interferon- ⁇
- IL-23 and IL-12 both contain the p40 subunit, they have different phenotypic properties.
- animals deficient in IL-12 are susceptible to inflammatory autoimmune diseases, whereas IL-23 deficient animals are resistant, presumably due to a reduced number of CD4 + T cells producing IL-6, IL-17, and TNF in the CNS of IL-23- deficient animals.
- IL-23 binds to IL-23R, which is a heterodimeric receptor composed of IL- 12R ⁇ 1 and IL-23R subunits. Binding of IL-23 to IL-23R activates the Jak-stat signaling molecules, Jak2, Tyk2, and Stat1, Stat 3, Stat 4, and Stat 5, although Stat4 activation is substantially weaker and different DNA-binding Stat complexes form in response to IL-23 as compared with IL-12. IL-23R associates constitutively with Jak2 and in a ligand-dependent manner with Stat3. In contrast to IL-12, which acts mainly on naive CD4(+) T cells, IL-23 preferentially acts on memory CD4(+) T cells.
- Efforts have been made to identify therapeutic moieties that inhibit the IL-23 pathway, for use in treating IL-23-related diseases and disorders.
- a number of antibodies that bind to IL-23 or IL-23R have been identified, including ustekinumab, an antibody that binds the p40 subunit of IL-23, which has been approved for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, active psoriatic arthritis, moderately to severely active Crohn’s disease and moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis.
- polypeptide inhibitors that bind to IL-23R and inhibit the binding of IL-23 to IL-23R have been identified (see, e.g., US Patent Application Publication No.
- Peptide #104 An inhibitor of IL-23R was described as Peptide #104 in PCT publication WO 2021/146441 and US 2021/0261622, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
- Peptide compounds such as those described in PCT publication WO 2021/146441 and US 2021/0261622 may be manufactured using solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS).
- SPPS solid phase peptide synthesis
- an amino acid or peptide is bound, usually via the C-terminus, to a solid support. New amino acids are added to the bound amino acid or peptide via coupling reactions.
- Crystalline forms have advantageous properties such as ease of isolation, processibility, handleability, enhanced purity, and greater physical and chemical stability compared to analogous amorphous forms. These attributes can be particularly important for pharmaceutical agents where large-scale production, reproducibility, and compound purity are required. Crystalline forms of peptides may be uniquely advantageous as the corresponding amorphous forms are often unsuitable for formulating, such as tableting. [0013]

Description
METHODS FOR PREPARING CRYSTALLINE PEPTIDE INHIBITORS OF INTERLEUKIN-23 RECEPTOR SEQUENCE LISTING The contents of the electronic sequence listing (747883-NTT-4258PC_SL.xml; Size: 13,484 bytes; and Date of Creation: January 30, 2024) is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application no.63/482,512, filed January 31, 2023, as well as US Provisional Patent Application no.63/517,307, filed Augst 2, 2023. The contents of both of these applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties. FIELD [0002] The present invention relates to methods for preparing crystalline monocyclic peptide compounds, and salts or solvates thereof, which are peptide inhibitors of the interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R). The crystalline monocyclic peptide compounds, and salts or solvates thereof, have favorable rheological (flow) properties making them suitable for pharmaceutical processing. The peptide inhibitors are useful for treatment of autoimmune inflammation diseases and related disorders. BACKGROUND [0003] The interleukin-23 (IL-23) cytokine has been implicated as playing a crucial role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune inflammation and related diseases and disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), e.g., ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Studies in acute and chronic mouse models of IBD revealed a primary role of IL-23R and downstream effector cytokines in disease pathogenesis. IL-23R is expressed on various adaptive and innate immune cells including Th17 cells, γδ T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, and innate lymphoid cells, which are found abundantly in the intestine. At the intestine mucosal surface, the gene expression and protein levels of IL-23R are found to be elevated in IBD patients. It is believed that IL-23 mediates this effect by promoting the development of a pathogenic CD4+ T cell population that produces IL-6, IL-17, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF). [0004] Production of IL-23 is enriched in the intestine, where it is believed to play a key role in regulating the balance between tolerance and immunity through T-cell-dependent and T-cell-
independent pathways of intestinal inflammation through effects on T-helper 1 (Th1) and Th17- associated cytokines, as well as restraining regulatory T-cell responses in the gut, favoring inflammation. In addition, polymorphisms in the IL-23 receptor (IL-23R) have been associated with susceptibility to inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), further establishing the critical role of the IL-23 pathway in intestinal homeostasis. [0005] Psoriasis (PsO), a chronic skin disease affecting about 2%-3% of the general population has been shown to be mediated by the body’s T cell inflammatory response mechanisms. IL-23 has one of several interleukins implicated as a key player in the pathogenesis of psoriasis, purportedly by maintaining chronic autoimmune inflammation via the induction of interleukin-17, regulation of T memory cells, and activation of macrophages. Expression of IL- 23 and IL-23R has been shown to be increased in tissues of patients with psoriasis, and antibodies that neutralize IL-23 showed IL-23-dependent inhibition of psoriasis development in animal models of psoriasis. [0006] IL-23 is a heterodimer composed of a unique p19 subunit and the p40 subunit shared with IL-12, which is a cytokine involved in the development of interferon-γ (IFN-γ)-producing T helper 1 (TH1) cells. Although IL-23 and IL-12 both contain the p40 subunit, they have different phenotypic properties. For example, animals deficient in IL-12 are susceptible to inflammatory autoimmune diseases, whereas IL-23 deficient animals are resistant, presumably due to a reduced number of CD4+ T cells producing IL-6, IL-17, and TNF in the CNS of IL-23- deficient animals. IL-23 binds to IL-23R, which is a heterodimeric receptor composed of IL- 12Rβ1 and IL-23R subunits. Binding of IL-23 to IL-23R activates the Jak-stat signaling molecules, Jak2, Tyk2, and Stat1, Stat 3, Stat 4, and Stat 5, although Stat4 activation is substantially weaker and different DNA-binding Stat complexes form in response to IL-23 as compared with IL-12. IL-23R associates constitutively with Jak2 and in a ligand-dependent manner with Stat3. In contrast to IL-12, which acts mainly on naive CD4(+) T cells, IL-23 preferentially acts on memory CD4(+) T cells. [0007] Efforts have been made to identify therapeutic moieties that inhibit the IL-23 pathway, for use in treating IL-23-related diseases and disorders. A number of antibodies that bind to IL-23 or IL-23R have been identified, including ustekinumab, an antibody that binds the p40 subunit of IL-23, which has been approved for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, active psoriatic arthritis, moderately to severely active Crohn’s disease and moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. More recently, polypeptide inhibitors that bind to IL-23R and inhibit the binding of IL-23 to IL-23R have been identified (see, e.g., US Patent Application Publication No. US2013/0029907). Clinical trials in Crohn’s Disease or psoriasis with
briakinumab (which also target the common p40 subunit) and tildrakizumab, guselkumab, MEDI2070, and BI-655066 (which target the unique p19 subunit of IL-23) highlight the potential of IL-23 signaling blockade in treatment of human inflammatory diseases. While these findings are promising, challenges remain with respect to successful delivery of such therapeutics to their target. Effective delivery can improve the treatment of intestinal inflammation, such as intestinal bowel diseases, including Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and related disorders. [0008] An inhibitor of IL-23R was described as Peptide #104 in PCT publication WO 2021/146441 and US 2021/0261622, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties. [0009] Peptide compounds such as those described in PCT publication WO 2021/146441 and US 2021/0261622 may be manufactured using solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). In solid phase peptide synthesis, an amino acid or peptide is bound, usually via the C-terminus, to a solid support. New amino acids are added to the bound amino acid or peptide via coupling reactions. Though solid phase peptide synthesis has been widely used, the process is laborious and often requires purification of the reaction products by chromatography, resulting in high cost, slow process and difficulties in scale-up. [0010] Alternative methods to synthesis the peptides described herein are therefore required, particularly those that provide improved handleability, such as improved rheological (flow) properties, particle size and hygroscopicity, of the peptide inhibitors for use as pharmaceutical ingredients. [0011] There remains a need in the art to develop methods for preparing the peptide inhibitors of the interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R) in forms which are suitable for large scale commercial development, and which provide solid forms of the peptide inhibitors with characteristics which improve handleability of the peptide inhibitors for use as pharmaceutical ingredients. For example, there remains a need to develop methods for preparing and isolating forms of peptide inhibitors of IL-23R which have good rheological properties. The present invention addresses these needs. BRIEF SUMMARY [0012] Provided herein are methods for preparing crystalline forms of a peptide inhibitor of the interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R). Crystalline forms have advantageous properties such as ease of isolation, processibility, handleability, enhanced purity, and greater physical and chemical stability compared to analogous amorphous forms. These attributes can be particularly important for pharmaceutical agents where large-scale production, reproducibility, and
compound purity are required. Crystalline forms of peptides may be uniquely advantageous as the corresponding amorphous forms are often unsuitable for formulating, such as tableting.

[0098] “Absorption enhancer” refers to a component that improves or facilitates the mucosal absorption of a drug in the gastrointestinal tract, such as a permeation enhancer or intestinal permeation enhancer. As conventionally understood in the art, permeation enhancers (PEs) are agents aimed to improve oral delivery of therapeutic drugs with poor bioavailability. PEs are capable of increasing the paracellular and/or transcellular passage of drugs. Pharmaceutical excipients that can increase permeation have been termed ‘absorption modifying excipients' (AMEs). AMEs may be used in oral compositions, for example, as wetting agents (sodium dodecyl sulfate), antioxidants (e.g. EDTA), and emulsifiers (e.g. macrogol glycerides), and may be specifically included in compositions as PEs to improve bioavailability. PEs can be categorized as to how they alter barrier integrity via paracellular or transcellular routes.

[0102] “Granulated mixture” refers to a mixture of two or more agents made by mixing the two or more agents and granulating them together in a particulate form. Such a mixture provides particulate material that is composed of two or more agents. For example, in the present invention, the compositions may include, but are not limited to granulated mixtures of a hydrochloride salt form of the peptide of SEQ ID NO: 1 or solvate thereof and absorption or permeation enhancer, such as sodium caprate. Such a granulated mixture is formed into a particle or tablet forms, which contain a hydrochloride salt form of a compound of Formula (I) or solvate thereof and sodium caprate. In some embodiments, the compositions may include granulated mixtures comprising sodium caprate.

Therefore, removal of the residual solvent in step (d) is needed for maintaining the crystalline form and avoiding thixotropicity of the particles. In some embodiments, removing residual solvent comprises one or more washing steps. In some embodiments, removing residual solvent comprises two washing steps. In some embodiments, removing residual solvent comprises washing the isolated crystalline peptide compound and then drying in vacuum.

Example 1. Preparation of a Crystalline Form of a Hydrochloride Salt of a Peptide of SEQ ID NO: 1 [0644] Ac-[Pen]*-N-T-[W(7-Me)]-[Lys(Ac)]-[Pen]*-Phe[4-(2-aminoethoxy)]-[2-Nal]- [THP]-E-N-[3-Pal]-Sarc-NH2 (in which [Pen]*-[Pen]* form a disulfide bond) (SEQ ID NO: 1): . [0645] A
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof has been reported, i.e., which includes, Peptide #104 in U.S. Pat. Appln. Pub. No. 2021/0261622 (“U.S. ‘622 Pub.”), Pub. Date: August 26, 2021, and which corresponds to WO 2021/146441 A1 (“WO ‘441 Appln.”), Intern.’l Pub. Date; 22 July 2021, each of which respectively is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. [0646] The synthesis of the hydrochloride salt of the compound of Formula (I) was prepared as described in WO2023/150500, publication date August 10, 2023. [0647] The peptide was constructed on Rink Amide MBHA resin using standard Fmoc protection synthesis conditions reported in the literature. The constructed peptide was isolated from the resin and protecting groups by cleavage with strong acid followed by precipitation. Oxidation to form the disulfide bond was performed followed by purification. [0648] During SPPS, the sequence of the desired compound (i.e., a compound of Formula (I)) was built up on a polymer support by sequential and repetitive addition of the chosen building blocks. Cross-linked polystyrene resins immobilized the growing peptide chains. [0649] As building blocks (starting materials), suitably protected amino-acid derivatives were used (see, Table 1 below). Protection of the reactive α-amino groups relied on the Fmoc
strategy. Necessary side-chain protection was achieved by use of other protecting groups that were stable toward the reagents used for Fmoc-cleavage. [0650] The peptide chain was built up from the C-terminus to the N-terminus by repeated cycles until the resin carried the complete amino acid sequence: (i) N-α-deprotection with 20 % (V/V) piperidine in DMF to enable the coupling reaction (10 mL/g), (ii) coupling of protected building block (protected amino acid derivative) in the presence of DIC and Oxyma as suitable activating reagent(s) (solvent: DMF, 10 mL/g) (Table 2), systematic acetylation (capping) of remaining free amino groups using acetic anhydride and pyridine (solvent: DMF, 10 mL/g; c: DMF / Ac2O / Pyridine 50:1:1). Each step consisted of the following operations: (i) addition of solvents/reagents to the resin; (ii) agitating of the reaction mixture, and (iii) removal of solvents/reagents by filtration and washing (solvents: DMF and/or IPA, 10 mL/g). [0651] After cleavage of the N-terminal Fmoc group, a final acetylation was performed. Then, the peptide resin was washed alternatingly with dimethyl formamide (DMF) and isopropanol (IPA) and dried under reduced pressure. Batch size: 30.0 mol, yield (31.5 mol, 105%). Table 1.

eavage o e pep e o e es a s u a eous c eavage o e s e- chain protecting groups were accomplished by treatment of the peptide resin with TFA (6.30 L/kg resin) in the presence of suitable scavengers: H2O (0.175 L/kg resin), ethanedithiol (EDT) (0.175 L/kg resin) and triisopropylsilane (TIS) (0.27 kg/kg resin). After filtering off and washing the resin with TFA twice (in total 2.0 L/kg resin), the product was precipitated by the addition of cooled diisopropyl ether (40 L/kg resin). The product was filtered off, washed with diisopropyl ether three times (3.0 L/kg each), and dried under reduced pressure. Batch size: 5.16 mol; yield: 5.44 mol (105%). [0653] The crude product was dissolved in aqueous AcOH solution (H2O / AcOH 70:30, 100 g/L). The resulting peptide solution was treated with aqueous I2/KI solution (52 mM I2, 154 mM KI) to build the disulfide bond between the penicillamine residues by oxidation of the SH moieties. The reaction was quenched by addition of aqueous ascorbic acid solution (662 mM, 0.106 g ascorbic acid/ g crude, 1.35 equivalents). The cyclized peptide was purified by preparative HPLC on a reversed-phase column with ACN gradient elution and UV detection at 300 nm. [0654] A NH4HCO3 system was employed for elution (eluent NH4HCO3 A: 15% ACN in 30 mM NH4HCO3; eluent NH4HCO3 B: 50% ACN in 10 mM NH4HCO3). The collected fractions were analyzed by HPLC and pooled accordingly (Target: ≥ 97.0%). The pH of the pooled main fractions was adjusted to 7.0 ± 0.2 with aqueous hydrochloric acid (5.5 M).
One-step Preparation of a Hydrochloride Salt of a Peptide of SEQ ID NO: 1 [0655] 12.0 kg of the of the compound of Formula (I) had been cyclized and purified by six prep. HPLC runs. Combination of all main cuts from the six purification runs resulted in a volume of the compound of Formula (I) solution of 202 L. To this solution, 67 L of side cuts were added (volume ratio main cuts / side cuts = 3:1), obtaining in total 269 L. The pH was adjusted to 7.1 by adding 0.25 L of 5.5 N HCl aq. The solution was concentrated by evaporation in vacuo at 40°C jacket temperature down to the final volume of 60 L. The temperature of the concentrated turbid product solution was reduced to 23 °C. The pH was adjusted to 5.1 with 2.0 L of 1 N HCl aq., 12.0 L of IPA were added, and the solution was stirred for 19 hr. at 6°C. Further precipitation occurred during stirring of the solution. The suspension was transferred to the mobile filter dryer, allowed to sediment for 10 min, and filtered by applying overpressure (0.5 bar at the beginning, later increased up to 2 bar). A clear mother liquor was observed during filtration. The isolated product was dried in vacuo at 40°C, first at 65 mbar until solvent distillation ceased. Then, after approx.8.5 hr. drying was continued at full vacuum, but the temperature was reduced to 25°C, as drying was performed over the weekend instead of overnight. After a total drying time of 62 hr. with a final vacuum of 6 mbar, the product was unloaded from the filter dryer. [0656] Because of the aspect of the isolated material (coarse particles with agglomerates), the product was sieved (1.5 mm mesh size) applying a sieving mill. In total, 5.24 kg were obtained after sieving. A purity (HPLC) of 97.3% was determined with the QC HPLC release method. The chloride content was determined as 1.3% (theoretical chloride content of the mono hydrochloride salt is 1.9%.), and the isolated material was readily soluble in water (1 mg/mL) without any pH adjustment required. Alternative two-step Preparation of Crystalline Form of a Hydrochloride Salt of a Peptide of SEQ ID NO: 1 Step 1: [0657] 7.057 kg of the compound of Formula (I) had been cyclized and purified by four prep. HPLC runs. Combination of all main cuts from the four purification runs resulted in a solution volume of 100 L. The pH was adjusted by adding 0.2 L of 5.5 N HCl aq., resulting in pH 6.25 of the product solution. The solution was concentrated by evaporation in vacuo at 40 °C jacket temperature down to the final volume of 35 L (representing target volume of 10 vol. eq.). The temperature of the suspension was reduced to 26 °C and pH 5.1 was determined. As the pH of the suspension had already reached the target of pH 5.1 after evaporation, no further pH
adjustment by addition of HCl aq. was performed.7.0 L IPA were added, and the suspension was stirred for 20 hr. at 5 to 6 °C. [0658] The suspension was transferred to the mobile filter dryer, allowed to sediment for 8 min, and filtered by applying overpressure (0.5 bar at the beginning, later increased up to 2 bar). The isolated product was dried in vacuo at 40 °C, first at 50 mbar until solvent distillation ceased. Then, drying was continued at full vacuum. After a total drying time of 18 hr. with a final vacuum of 3 mbar, the product was unloaded from the filter dryer. [0659] The product was sieved (1.5 mm mesh size) applying a sieving mill. In total, 2.43 kg of the compound of Formula (I) were obtained after sieving. The chloride content was determined as 0.5%. Step 2: [0660] The hydrochloride salt of the compound of Formula (I), as prepared in the previous step (2.13 kg) was suspended in 43 L of deionized water. A pH of 4.1 was determined for the suspension. By addition of 1.77 L of 1 N HCl aq. the pH was adjusted to 2.90. The resulting clear, slightly yellow solution was stirred for 1 h. By addition of 1.65 L of 1 M NH4HCO3 aq. the pH of the solution was increased from initially pH 2.87 to 5.09. To the slightly turbid solution 4.3 L of IPA was added. The resulting suspension was then stirred for 0.5 hr. at 25 °C and 19.5 hr. at 5 °C (pH 6.09 determined). The suspension was filtered on a mobile filter dryer and subsequently dried in vacuo for approx. 20 hr. at 40 °C (10 mbar final vacuum). [0661] A sample was taken for IPC analysis, in particular determination of residual solvents and loss on drying. Drying was resumed at 25 °C until IPC results were available (6.5 hr., 3 mbar final vacuum).602 mg/kg of residual IPA, a LOD of 1.57%, a chloride content of 1.0%, and a purity (HPLC) of 99.3% were determined. The product was unloaded from the filter dryer and sieved (1.5 mm mesh). In total, 1.82 kg of reworked hydrochloride salt of the compound of Formula (I) were obtained, a yield of 85.4% (w/w). [0662] An X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) pattern of the hydrochloride salt of the compound of Formula (I) confirmed its crystallinity (see, FIG.1). Example 2 [0663] 31.3 kg Rink amide AM resin (substitution: 0.96 mmol/g) were loaded into a 1000 L SPPS reactor and the SPPS was performed. Each SPPS cycle consists of Fmoc cleavage, coupling with the respective building block and obligatory capping. For Fmoc cleavage the resin was treated with 20% piperidine in DMF (10 ml/g resin each) for 5 ± 2 min and 10 ± 2 min at 25 °C. Couplings were performed using the building blocks, coupling reagents and conditions depicted in Table 3 with DMF as solvent (10 ml/g resin). For capping the resin was treated with
acidic anhydride and pyridine in DMF (volumetric ratio DMF / Ac2O/pyridine 50:1:1; DMF: 10 ml/g resin) for 20 min. Diisopropyl carbonate (DIC) was added in two portions, with the second portion was added after about 20 to 30 minutes after the first portion. Table 3: Cycle Building block Equivalents Equivalents Equivalents Coupling Coupling building Oxyma DIC duration temp. block
[0664] Final acetylation of the peptide resin was performed with acidic anhydride and pyridine in DMF (volumetric ratio DMF / Ac2O/pyridine 10:1:1; DMF: 10 ml/g resin) for 20 min. After drying at 25 – 35 °C 123.7 kg linear peptide-Rink amide AM resin were obtained. TFA cleavage [0665] In a jacketed reactor 100 g of linear peptide-Rink amide AM resin were added at 20 °C to 700 mL of the cleavage cocktail, consisting of 630 mL TFA, 35 mL TIS, 17.5 mL EDT, and 17.5 mL water. The temperature increased to 34 °C upon addition of the resin, and the mixture was stirred for an additional 35 min at 30 °C. The mixture was cooled to 20 °C, and the resin was filtered off and washed two times with 100 mL TFA each. The filtrates were combined and cooled to -17 °C. For precipitation 4.0 L diisopropyl ether were added within 20 min maintaining the temperature of the solution / suspension at 5 °C. After complete addition of diisopropyl ether, the temperature was increased to 25 °C and the suspension stirred for 2.5 h. The suspension was then transferred to a filter dryer, and the precipitated crude product was
filtered off at ambient temperature. The filter cake was subsequently washed three times with 300 mL of diisopropyl ether each and dried in vacuo at 30 °C over night. In total, 53.62 g of linear peptide was isolated as the TFA salt. Oxidation and purification by preparative HPLC [0666] 28 g cleaved linear peptide was dissolved in 280 mL 30% AcOH in water at ambient temperature.3.71 g iodine and 7.17 g potassium iodide were dissolved in 280 mL water. Both the peptide and the iodine/iodide-solution were added in parallel to a vigorously stirred mixture of 2.2 L 30% AcOH in water at ambient temperature within 60 min. After complete addition of both solutions, a red-brown oxidation mixture was obtained. After stirring for 30 min at ambient temperature, IPC indicated nearly full conversion of starting material.3.5 g Vitamin C were added, and the obtained yellow solution was stirred for 10 min. The oxidation mixture was filtrated over a fritted glass funnel before applying to the prep. RP-HPLC column. The chromatographic conditions are given in Table 4. All fractions were adjusted with 18% HCl in water to pH 7. The fractions collected during prep. RP-HPLC were analyzed by UHPLC. Fractions containing > 97% product were pooled for subsequent isolation. Table 4: Chromatographic conditions Column ModCol 5 cm I.D. Column acka in Kromasil C8 ore size 100 Å article size 10 m
Isolation [0667] In total, 1.87 g of the compound of Formula (I) (partial HCl salt) was isolated out of 60 mL of product pool, which calculates to 13.1 g of the compound of Formula (I) out of the entire 420 mL of product pool. From lyophilization of the mother liquor 0.17 g of residue was obtained. [0668] 420 mL of product pool had been obtained after oxidation and preparative HPLC purification. By a test lyophilization the product concentration of this solution was determined as approx.29 g/L, which corresponds to a theoretical yield of approx.12.2 g. [0669] From the overall pool volume, 120 mL were transferred to a round-bottom flask, and the initial pH of 7.01 was adjusted with 4.7 mL of 1 M HCl aq. to pH 2.98. Acetonitrile was evaporated from the product solution at 40 °C in vacuo, until water started to evaporate. After evaporation, 84 mL of aqueous product solution were remaining (pH 2.75), of which 42 mL were transferred to a reactor connected to a heating/cooling system and applied for the subsequent isolation. [0670] The pH of the solution was then adjusted to pH 3.75 by addition of 1.1 mL of 0.5 M NH4HCO3 within 60 min. To the clear yellow solution 1% (w/w) compound of Formula (I) was added as seeding material and the formed thin suspension was stirred for 60 min at 25 °C. The pH of the suspension was then adjusted to pH 4.50 by addition of 2.6 mL of 0.5 M NH4HCO3 within 120 min. After stirring the suspension for 30 min at 25 °C the pH had dropped to pH 4.35. After stirring for 16 h at 25 °C a thick suspension was present, which was filtered (1 min filtration time) over a glass nutsche filter (G4) and washed without stirring with 1.74 mL of water (1 vol. eq.; 1 min filtration time). The washed filter cake was dried in vacuo at 40 °C for 16 h in a vacuum oven. The dried product was finally unloaded from the filter. [0671] In total, 1.87 g of compound of Formula (I) (partial HCl salt) were isolated out of 60 mL of product pool, which calculates to 13.1 g compound of Formula (I) out of the entire 420 mL of product pool. For the isolated material a purity (HPLC) of 99.5%, a chloride content (titration) of 1.6%, and a water content (KF) of 3.2% was determined. The XRPD measurement confirmed the form of the partial HCl obtained was the same as that of Example 1.

The chromatographic conditions were the same as used in Example 2. All fractions were adjusted with 18% HCl in water to pH 7. The fractions collected during prep. RP-HPLC were analyzed by UHPLC. Fractions containing > 98% product were pooled for subsequent isolation. Isolation [0677] 420 mL of product pool had been obtained after oxidation and preparative HPLC purification. By a test lyophilization the product concentration of this solution was determined as approx.29 g/L, which corresponds to a theoretical yield of approx.12.2 g. [0678] From the overall pool volume, 120 mL were transferred to a round-bottom flask, and the initial pH of 7.51 was adjusted with 4.5 mL of 1 M HCl aq. to pH 3.00. Acetonitrile was evaporated from the product solution at 40 °C in vacuo, until water started to evaporate. After evaporation, 80 mL of aqueous product solution were remaining (pH 2.54), of which 40 mL were transferred to a reactor connected to a heating/cooling system and applied for the subsequent isolation. [0679] The pH of the solution was then adjusted to pH 3.75 by addition of 1.0 mL of 0.5 M NH4HCO3 within 65 min. To the clear yellow solution 1% (w/w) the compound of Formula (I)
was added as seeding material and the formed thin suspension was stirred for 60 min at 25 °C. The pH of the suspension was then adjusted to pH 4.50 by addition of 2.9 mL of 0.5 M NH4HCO3 within 125 min. After stirring the suspension for 30 min at 25 °C the pH had dropped to pH 4.12. The pH was then re-adjusted to 4.50 by addition of 0.2 mL of 0.5 M NH4HCO3. After stirring for 16 h at 25 °C a thick suspension was present, which was filtered (1 min filtration time) over a glass nutsche filter (G4) and washed without stirring with 1.59 mL of water (1 vol. eq.; 1 min filtration time). The washed filter cake was dried in vacuo at 25 °C for 16 h in a vacuum oven. The dried product was finally unloaded from the filter. [0680] In total, 1.77 g of the compound of Formula (I) (partial HCl salt) was isolated out of 60 mL of product pool, which calculates to 12.4 g of the compound of Formula (I) out of the entire 420 mL of product pool. For the isolated material a purity (HPLC) of 99.4%, a chloride content (titration) of 1.6%, a water content (KF) of 3.6%.

The following two theta peaks were observed: 4.2920, 6.9201, 7.6600, 8.5693, 9.2667, 9.9817, 10.7256, 11.5429, 11.9937, 13.0633, 13.3317, 13.9650, 14.7879, 15.8430, 17.1481, 17.6468, 18.1402, 18.6158, 19.3291, 20.4899, 20.7090, or 21.7813 +/- 0.2 degrees two theta. Example 4. Synthetic Procedure for Seeds of a Hydrochloride Salt of a Peptide of SEQ ID NO: 1 [0682] Seeds of the hydrochloride salt of the compound of Formula (I) were prepared using an EasyMax 402 setup (100 mL scale).3 g of HCl salt were dissolved in 21 mL MeOH and 9 mL water at 40 °C.30 mL of H2O were dosed into the reactor over 10 h.

After 2 h of isotherm, the reactor was heated to 40 °C at a rate of 1 °C/min, and after 1 h of isotherm at 40 °C, the reactor was cooled to 5 °C. The obtained filtrate was washed twice with 3 mL water, twice with 3 mL of isopropyl alcohol, and then dried atmospherically. Example 5A. Synthetic Procedure for a Crystalline Hydrochloride Salt of a Peptide of SEQ ID NO: 1 [0683] Crystalline hydrochloride salt of the compound of Formula (I) (30 g) prepared according to Example 3 were dissolved in 120 mL of methanol and 51.4 mL of water. The dissolution was carried out in an EasyMax 402, under stirring at 40 °C.57.1 mL of sodium chloride 1 M were dosed to the EasyMax reactor at over 1 h. The solution was then seeded with
300 mg of seeds of the hydrochloride salt of the compound of Formula (I) prepared according to Example 4. The slurry was then aged for 8 h under stirring at 40 °C. The slurry was cooled to 5 °C at a cooling rate of 0.1K/min. An extra 114.31 mL of sodium chloride 1 M were dosed to the EasyMax reactor over 4 h and the slurry was aged for extra 5 h. The solid was isolated by vacuum filtration and washed twice with 30 mL of water and twice with 30 mL of isopropanol. The solid was dried atmospherically. [0684] The isolated solid of the crystalline hydrochloride form of the compound of Formula (I) had a purity (UPLC) of 99.3 area% and a water content (KF) of 6.33 w/w%.

[0685] A thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of the isolated crystalline hydrochloride form of the compound of Formula (I) shows a 5.6% weight loss when heated to about 160°C, which is attributed to loss of solvent, mainly water (FIG.4). The first endothermic event in the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) profile of the isolated crystalline hydrochloride form of the compound of Formula (I) showing a maximum at 81.4 °C corresponds to the loss of solvent from the crystalline lattice, while the later event after 225 °C is attributed to decomposition of the solid (FIG.5). A dynamic vapor sorption curve (DVS) of the isolated crystalline hydrochloride of the compound of Formula (I) showed a water intake of about 8.7% at 80% RH, indicating a hygroscopic material. (FIG.6). Example 5B.

[0691] A section of the data above is graphically depicted in Figure 37. [0692] The particle size data in the proceeding sections is the volume-based particle size distribution (PSD) of the hydrochloride salt of the peptide of formula (I), which is determined by means of dry dispersion laser diffraction. The instrumentation is a Malvern Mastersizer 3000 LD, or equivalent instrument and an Aero S dry dispersion module, or equivalent. The material used in the following method include air as a dispersant, garnet abrasive (e.g., Beckman Coulter, P/N 8310765) or equivalent (e.g., Acros sand) as a cleaning agent, Certified Polydisperse Glass
Beads Standard (e.g., ca.15 to 150 µm Whitehouse Scientific single shot glass bead Standard (cat nr. J&J200) or Malvern QAS standards (QAS3002 or other) as a system suitability standard. [0693] The method of PSD determination includes the following steps: [0694] Step 1: Allow the optical bench and laser to equilibrate for a minimum of 30 minutes after switching on the instrument. Prior to each measurement, ensure that the optical components are clean. If necessary, clean the cell windows according to procedure in Step 2 (below). Start the alignment and measure the background signal. The latter must show stable signals and must meet the limits described below: Background Signal Limits for Dry Dispersion Unit Detector Limits (Light Energy units) 1 ≤100 [0695] The shap

[0696] The instrument parameters for System Suitability Test are displayed in below. The standard is analyzed once according to the parameters below.

ary at this stage of the project, feed rate may be varied between 20 and 100% depending on the flowability of the sample. A constant flow of powder should be achieved. [0702] The sample analysis procedure consists of one sample preparation which is analyzed once according to the parameters below. Each analysis consists of 1 measurement (or run or record) as described below. Step 5A: Install the general-purpose sample tray holder with hopper (2 mm gap). holder. Put in place a 2 mm mesh basket on the hopper in the general-purpose sample tray holder. Step 5B: Start the Malvern standard operating procedure or via manual measurement according to the instrument analysis parameters in Table 4. (Soft) agglomerates may remain on the sieve after completion of the measurement due to lumping tendency of some batches. As the method is intended to look at the primary distribution of the particles, this does not impact the measurement and these lumps should be disposed. Step 5C: When the analysis has been performed and an unexpected additional population of particles is observed at the high-end of the measurement range, interference at the smallest detector rings of the optical bench should be considered. This can occur for example due to contamination of the cell windows. In that case the sample analysis needs to be made invalid. Clean the dry dispersion unit and/or detection cell repeat the dry dispersion laser diffraction analysis of the sample according to the criteria and conditions as described herein in Step 2. Refer to Step 1 for the acceptance criteria of the background. Step 5D: Clean the tray and the venturi after each measurement as described in Step 2. Step 5E: During the measurement the average obscuration of every individual measurement (or run or record) should be in the prescribed range.
[0703] Data Reporting: Report the results of the laser diffraction analysis based on the particle size volume distribution as the cumulative undersize values dv10, dv50, and dv90. If the background signal and the SST testing requirements are met, the analysis results can be considered as valid.

[0742] Tablet Compositions 1-3 Film-Coated Tablets with compositions of Tablet Compositions 1-3, which included 50 mg, 25 mg, and 10 mg (equivalent to free base), respectively, of the compound of Formula (I) hydrochloride (HCl) salt and 500 mg sodium caprate as an absorption enhancer, were prepared
by following unit operations: milling & sieving, dry granulation, blending & compression, and film coating, described in Steps 1-4 below. The in-process control data of the core and coated tablets in representative stability or clinical batches were collected, as summarized in the tables below. Step 1: Milling & Sieving [0743] Teflon (PTFE) solid blocks were used to manually sieve the compound of Formula (I) through a 600 ^ ^m stainless-steel sieve. The collected powder was then sieved via the same procedure through stainless-steel sieves at 400 ^ ^m and 150 ^ ^m mesh size, sequentially. Step 2: Dry Granulation [0744] The resulting powder from Step 1 and all intragranular excipients, including functional excipients, comprising sodium caprate, microcrystalline cellulose, sorbitol, crospovidone and anhydrous colloidal silica listed in Composition of tablet compositions 1-3 were screened through a 1000 ^m stainless-steel sieve and mixed for 10 minutes in a high-speed blender (such as Turbula). The blended dry powder was compacted into tablet-like solids through single-stage compression on a single-punch tablet press (such as Styl’One Evolution). Teflon (PTFE) solid blocks were used to manually break the resulting compact (i.e., “slugs”) into granules which were screened through a 1000 ^m stainless-steel sieve. Step 3: Blending and Tableting [0745] The resulting granulated powder from Step 2 and all extragranular excipients comprising silicified microcrystalline cellulose, crospovidone and anhydrous colloidal silica as listed in Composition of Ex 1-3 were screened through a 1000 ^m stainless-steel sieve and mixed for 10 minutes in a high-speed blender (such as Turbula). To this mixture, extragranular magnesium stearate was screened through the same mesh, added to the above mixture, and further mixed for 5 minutes under the same conditions. The final blend was compressed into tablets through a two-stage (i.e., pre- and main-) compression cycle on a single-punch tablet press (such as Styl’One Evolution). The resulting core tablets were collected into appropriate containers (e.g., HDPE bottles) and packages (e.g., sealed in aluminum laminated bags) which were stored until the next step. Step 4: Film Coating Subcoat: [0746] The coating suspension at approximately 30 wt% solid concentration was prepared by adding the coating powder of the subcoat (i.e., Opadry® QX 321A220063 Yellow) into the vortex of vigorously agitated purified water, which was stirred by an overhead stirrer. The
suspension was further stirred for a sufficient time (e.g., at least 45 min) to achieve a homogenous dispersion without foam and remained stirred during the coating process. [0747] The core tablets manufactured from Steps 1-3 were transferred to the pan of a semi- perforated tablet coating system such as Lödige. After warming up the uncoated tablets in the slowly rotating pre-warmed pan (e.g., at least 3 minutes at drum speed of 5 rpm), a pre- determined amount of coating suspension that was calculated to achieve the target weight gain was then sprayed to the perforated coating pan. In a typical coating run of the subcoat using the 4L pan of Lödige,, the process parameters were commonly optimized in following target values and ranges [min-max] – tablet bed temperature (indicated by the exhaust air temperature) at 40 °C [35-45 °C], inlet air flow rate and pressure at 105 [80-120] m3/hr and an atomizing air and pressure of 0.9 [0.6-1.2] bar, a drum rotation speed at 23 [10-30] rpm, and a feeding rate of coating suspension at 6.5-7 g/min[5-8] g/min. At the end of spraying, the coating pan continued to rotate at a reduced drum speed (e.g., 5 rpm) at approximately 45 °C to remove residual water of the coated tablets. The resulting subcoated tablets were collected from the pan and cooled to room temperature under ambient conditions. Functional coat: [0748] The coating suspension at approximately 20 wt% solid concentration was prepared by subsequently adding triethyl citrate (plasticizer) and Acryl-Eze® 93A220037 Yellow (coating powder), sequentially in this order, into the vortex of vigorously agitated purified water, which was stirred by an overhead stirrer. The suspension was further stirred for a sufficient time (e.g., at least 5 minutes after adding the plasticizer, at least 45 min after adding the coating powder) to achieve a homogenous dispersion free of agglomeration and free of foam. Prior to the coating, the coating suspension was passed through a 250 ^m stainless-steel sieve and remained stirred during spraying. [0749] The subcoated tablets were coated with the functional coat using the above coating and drying processes with modified parameters. In a typical semi-perforated coating run of the functional coat using the 4L pan of Lödige, the process parameters were commonly optimized in following target values and ranges [min-max] – the exhaust air temperature at 32 °C [28-38 °C], inlet air flow rate of 105 [80-120] m3/hr and an atomizing and pattern air pressure of 0.9 [0.6- 1.2] bar, a drum rotation speed at 23 [10-30] rpm, and a feeding rate of coating suspension at 6.5 [5-8] g/min. At the end of spraying, the coating pan continued to rotate at a reduced drum speed (e.g., 5 rpm) at approximately 40-45 °C to remove residual water of the coated tablets. The coated tablets were removed from the coating pan and cooled to room temperature under
ambient conditions. The film-coated tablets were finally collected into appropriate containers (e.g., HDPE bottles) and packages (e.g., sealed in aluminum laminated bags) and stored under appropriate conditions.

Tablet Compositions 10 and 11 [0756] Film-Coated Tablets with compositions of Tablet Compositions 10 and 11 at the strengths of 100 mg and 25 mg (equivalent to free base) of the Peptide of SEQ ID NO: 1 hydrochloride (HCl) salt, respectively, were prepared by following unit operations: milling & sieving, blending & compression, and film coating, described in Steps 1-3 below. The in-process control data of the core and coated tablets in representative stability or clinical batches were collected, as summarized in the table below. Step 1: Milling & Sieving [0757] Teflon (PTFE) solid blocks were used to manually sieve the Peptide of SEQ ID NO: 1 through a 600 mm stainless-steel sieve. The collected powder was then sieved via the same procedure through stainless-steel sieves at 400 mm and 150 mm mesh size, sequentially. Step 2: Blending and Tabletting [0758] The resulting powder from Step 1 and all excipients comprising silicified microcrystalline cellulose, sorbitol, crospovidone, and anhydrous colloidal silica as listed in Tablet Compositions 10 and 11 were screened through a 1000 mm stainless-steel sieve and
mixed for 10 minutes in a high-speed blender (such as Turbula). To this mixture, magnesium stearate was sieved through the same mesh, added to the above mixture, and further mixed for 5 minutes under the same conditions. The final blend was compressed into tablets through a two- stage (i.e., pre- and main-) compression cycle on a single-punch tablet press (such as Styl’One Evolution or rotary tablet press such as Modul S/P). The resulting core tablets were collected into appropriate containers and packages (e.g., sealed in aluminum laminated bags) which were stored until the next step. Step 3: Film Coating [0759] The core tablets manufactured from Steps 1-2 were transferred to the pan of a semi- perforated tablet coating system (such as Lödige or Bohle), depending on the batch size. After warming up the uncoated tablets in the slowly rotating pre-warmed pan, a pre-determined amount of coating suspension that was calculated to achieve the target weight gain was then sprayed to the perforated coating pan. [0760] In a typical coating run using the Lödige coater (4L pan), the process parameters to coat the cosmetic coating layer listed in Tablet Compositions 10-11 were commonly optimized in following target values and ranges [min-max] – tablet bed temperature (indicated by the exhaust air temperature) at 40 °C [35-45 °C], inlet air flow rate of 105 [80-120] m3/hr and an atomizing and pattern air pressure of 0.9 [0.6-1.2] bar, a drum rotation speed at 25 [10-30] rpm, and a feeding rate of coating suspension at 6.5-7 [3-6] g/min. In the case of the Bohle coater (35L pan), the process parameters of a trial run coating 18k core tablets with Tablet Composition 10 were optimized as follow – exhaust air temp at 43.1 °C [41.8-44.8 °C], inlet air flow rate at 599.8 [578.3-616.5] m3/hr, a drum rotation speed at 19 rpm, and a feeding rate of coating suspension at 70.0 [69.2-70.9] g/min. [0761] At the end of spraying, the coating pan continued to rotate at a reduced drum speed (e.g., 5 rpm) at approximately 45 °C to remove residual water of the coated tablets. For upscale coating in Bohle, the coated tablets remained in the slowly rotating pan (e.g., 2 rpm) with inlet cooling air for an additional cooling period until the exhaust air reached an adequate temperature (e.g., 38 °C) for collection. The resulting coated tablets were collected from the pan and cooled to room temperature under ambient conditions, before storing them in appropriate containers and packages (e.g., sealed in aluminum laminated bags) under appropriate conditions.

Static Drying versus Dynamic Drying [0767] To determine an optimal method for removing residual solvent (drying) from the crystalline hydrochloride salt of the compound of Formula (I), experiments were conducted and the volume-weighted particle size distribution was measured. Three separate synthetic batches of the crude monocyclic peptide compound of Formula (I) were crystallized to give the crystalline hydrochloride salt of the compound of Formula (I). Each batch was split into two
groups and dried via static drying (SD) or dynamic drying (DD). All batches must undergo pre- processing to filter out excessively large agglomerates. The results of the experiment are below: Batch Drying Method Dv10 (µm) Dv50 (µm) Dv90 (µm) ° Span* 1 Static 6.2 18 51 2.5
agglomerates (and post-process filtering). Trends are best compared on Dv50. [0768] The dynamically dried samples exhibit advantageous properties for physical processing in that they show a slight decrease in PSD. It should be noted that Batch 2 (DD) shows a slightly higher Dv90 than the statically dried (SD) counterpart. However, this is fully due to artefacts of the lumps pulling up the Dv90 values. However, it was observed in the raw data PSD curves that there is no real increase in the Dv90 of the primary particles upon dynamic drying. As a result, Dv10 and Dv50 are much better indicators of the change in PSD for the primary particles. [0769] Further testing of Batch 2 (DD) and Batch 2 (SD) showed both material have a density around 0.4 g/ml, similar to the earlier scale-up batches. The dynamically dried (DD) samples seem to have a systematically higher density (around 0.5 g/ml), likely resulting from smaller particle size, an advantageous property for formulation and processing. [0770] A curated selection of the preceding data is depicted graphically in Figure 38. Example 19. Sieve Studies [0771] A batch of the crystalline hydrochloride salt of the compound of Formula (I) with a wide particle size distribution ranging from low micrometer up to millimeter size, was selected to undergo physical processing testing. The material was to divided into 5 groups. Trial 1 was comilled at 400 rpm and sieved through a <150 µm mesh. Trial 2 was comilled at 400 rpm and not sieved. Trial 3 was comilled at 1800 rpm and sieved through a <150 µm mesh. Trial 4 was was comilled at 1800 rpm and not sieved. The final group was maintained as a Control and not processed.
