Description
PROCESSES FOR PREPARING CRYSTALLINE SOLUBLE GUANYLATE CYCLASE STIMULATORS CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/510,231, filed June 26, 2023. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The invention relates to crystalline forms of and processes for preparing crystalline soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator compounds useful for the treatment of treating diseases or disorders which are associated with a disturbed cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) balance. More specifically, the invention relates to novel crystalline forms of the soluble guanylate cyclase inhibitor (S)-3-(4-{4-Amino-2-[6-chloro-1-(3,3,4,4,4-pentafluorobutyl)-1H- indazol-3-yl]-5-methyl-6-oxo-6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-5-yl}phenyl)propanoic acid, and its use for the treatment of various disorders. The invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions of crystalline forms of (S)-3-(4-{4-Amino-2-[6-chloro-1-(3,3,4,4,4- pentafluorobutyl)-1H-indazol-3-yl]-5-methyl-6-oxo-6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-5- yl}phenyl)propanoic acid. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Cyclic GMP (cGMP) is an important intracellular messenger which triggers a multitude of different effects via the modulation of cGMP-dependent protein kinases, phosphodiesterases and ion channels. Examples are the relaxation of smooth muscles, the inhibition of thrombocyte activation and the inhibition of the proliferation of smooth-muscle cells and of leukocyte adhesion. cGMP is produced by particulate and soluble guanylate cyclases as a response to a number of extracellular and intracellular stimuli. In the case of the particulate guanylate cyclases, stimulation is essentially effected by peptidic messengers, such as the atrial natriuretic peptide or the cerebral natriuretic peptide. The soluble guanylate cyclases ("sGC"), which are cytosolic heterodimeric heme proteins, in contrast, are essentially regulated by a family of low-molecular- weight factors which are formed enzymatically. The most important stimulant is nitrogen monoxide ("NO") or a closely related species. The function of other factors such as carbon monoxide or the hydroxyl radical is still largely unclear. The binding of NO to the heme with formation of a penta-coordinate heme-nitrosyl complex is proposed as the mechanism of the
activation by NO. The associated release of the histidine which is bound in the basal state to the iron converts the enzyme into the active conformation. [0004] Active soluble guanylate cyclases are each composed of an α and a β subunit. Several subunit subtypes have been described which differ from one another with respect to sequence, tissue-specific distribution and expression in different development stages. The subtypes α1 and β 1 are mainly expressed in brain and lung, while β 2 is found in particular in liver and kidney. The subtype α2 was shown to be present in human fetal brain. The subunits referred to as α3 and β 3 were isolated from human brain and are homologous to α 1 and β 1 . More recent works indicate an α 2i subunit which contains an insert in the catalytic domain. All subunits show great homologies in the region of the catalytic domain. The enzymes presumably contain one heme per heterodimer, which is bound via β 1 -Cys-78 and/or β 1 -His-105 and is part of the regulatory center. [0005] Under pathologic conditions, the formation of guanylate-cyclase-activating factors can be reduced, or their degradation may be promoted owing to the increased occurrence of free radicals. The resulting reduced activation of the sGC leads, via a weakening of the respective cGMP-mediated cellular response, for example to an increase of the blood pressure, to platelet activation or to increased cell proliferation and cell adhesion. As a consequence, formation of endothelial dysfunction, atherosclerosis, hypertension, stable or unstable angina pectoris, thrombosis, myocardial infarction, strokes or erectile dysfunction results. Pharmacological stimulation of sGC offers a possibility to normalize cGMP production and therefore may make possible the treatment and/or prevention of such disorders. [0006] For the pharmacological stimulation of the sGC, use has been made of compounds whose activity is based on an intermediate NO release, for example organic nitrates. The drawback of this treatment is the development of tolerance and a reduction of activity, and the higher dosage which is required because of this. [0007] International Patent Application WO 2017/112617 describes a class of soluble guanylate cyclate inhibitors. Among the compounds disclosed in WO ‘617 include (S)-3-(4-{4-Amino-2- [6-chloro-1-(3,3,4,4,4-pentafluorobutyl)-1H-indazol-3-yl]-5-methyl-6-oxo-6,7-dihydro-5H- pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-5-yl}phenyl)propanoic acid:
referred to as Compound 1). Methods of
are in WO ‘617. [0008] Certain crystalline forms have advantages in the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions of Compound 1, such as ease of processing, crystallization and handling. In particular, they exhibit improved physicochemical properties, such as stability to stress, rendering them particularly suitable for the manufacture of various pharmaceutical dosage forms. In addition, certain forms provide advantages in dosing.
