BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] Disclosed is a hemisulfate salt of A/-(5S,6S,9R)-5-amino-6-(2,3-difluorophenyl)-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-cy-clohepta[b]pyridin-9-yl-4-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1 H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-1-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate, as well as crystalline forms thereof. Also disclosed are at least one pharmaceutical composition comprising the hemisulfate salt of A/-(5S,6S,9R)-5-amino-6-(2,3-d ifluorophenyl)-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-cyclohepta[b]pyridin-9-yl-4-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro- 1 H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-1-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate and at least one method of using the hemisulfate salt of A/-(5S,6S,9R)-5-amino-6-(2,3-d ifluorophenyl)-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-cyclohepta[b]pyridin-9-yl-4-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1 H-imidazo[4,5-b] pyridin-1-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate in the treatment of a CGRP-related disorder, such as migraine headaches and asthma.

[0002] The compound, /\/-(5S,6S,9R)-5-amino-6-(2,3-difluorophenyl)-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-cyclohepta[b]pyridin-9-yl-4-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1 H-imidazo[4,5-b] pyridin-1-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate, has the structure of formula I:

and is referred to herein as "Compound (I)". Compound (I), processes to prepare Compound (I), and methods of treatment employing Compound (I) are disclosed in U.S. Patent Publication 2011/0251223 A1. This reference is assigned to the present assignee and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

[0003] The usefulness of an oral formulation is dependent upon, among other things, the degree to which the active agent is bioavailable and consistency in bioavailability among patients. The bioavailability of orally administered drugs is often affected by various factors including, for example, the solubility of the drug in the gastrointestinal tract, the stability of the drug in the gastrointestinal tract, and drug absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. Further, these factors may be affected by coadministration of other drugs and/or the intake of food, which may lead to variability in the bioavailability of orally administered drug. Furthermore, rapid In vivo dissolution of the active agent is also required to provide rapid treatment of conditions such as migraine headaches.

[0004] The dissolution rate of Compound (I) is dependent on the pH of the aqueous medium. Compound (I) has a higher dissolution rate at pH values of 1 and 5 than at a pH value of 7. In the oral administration of Compound (I), the dissolution rate and hence the bioavailability of Compound I can be affected by the pH of the stomach contents. The normal pH of the stomach is 1.2 to 1.8 according to C.J. Perigard, Clinical Analysis, Chapter 32, in Remington: The Science and Practice of pharmacy 20th Edition, A.R. Gennaro, editor; 2000, Lippinocott Williams & Wilkins, Baltimore, MD. However, patients often take other medications that can raise the pH of the stomach, including antacids, proton pump inhibitors, and H2-receptor antagonists such as famotidine, which can lower the dissolution rate of Compound (I).

[0005] Typically, in preparing a pharmaceutical composition, a form of the active ingredient is sought that has a balance of desired properties, such as, for exam pie, dissolution rate, solubility, bioavailability, and/or storage stability. For exam pie, a form of the active ingredient is sought having sufficient stability, solubility, and bioavailability to prevent the sufficiently soluble and bioavailable form from converting during the manufacture, preparation, and/or storage of the pharmaceutical composition to another form having an undesirable solubility and/or bioavailability profile. For example, a form of the active ingredient is sought that is stable and has low hygroscopicity at ambient temperature and humidity conditions.

[0006] In addition, a form of the active ingredient may also be sought that permits the active ingredient to be produced by a process that is amendable to large-scale production. In such a process, it is desirable that active ingredient is in a form that allows facile isolation and/or purification of the active ingredient, for example, by filtration, as well as easy drying.

[0007] Further, as production economics are important, it is desirable to avoid the use of higher cost materials, whenever possible, in the preparation of the form.

[0008] Applicants have found a hemisulfate salt of Compound (I) that surprisingly reduces the variability in the bioavailability of Compound (I), provides consistency in bioavailability among patients, and/or increases the bioavailability of Compound (I) to the patient. Further, Applicants have also found a crystalline form of the hemisulfate salt of Compound (I) that surprisingly reduces the variability in the bioavailability of Compound (I), provides consistency in bioavailability among patients, and/or increases the bioavailability of Compound (I) to the patient. The hemisulfate salt of Compound (I) and the crystalline form thereof, surprisingly afford a balance of properties sought in a pharmaceutical composition. The present invention is also directed to other important aspects.

[0027] The presence of reaction impurities and/or processing impurities may be determined by analytical techniques known in the art, such as, for example, chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and/or infrared spectroscopy.

[0028] As used herein, the parameter "molecules/asymmetric unit" refers to the number of molecules of Compound (I) in the asymmetric unit.

[0029] As used herein, the unit cell parameter "molecules/unit cell" refers to the number of molecules of Compound (I) in the unit cell.

[0030] The invention is intended to include all isotopes of atoms occurring in the present compounds. Isotopes include those atoms having the same atomic number but different mass numbers. By way of general example and without limitation, isotopes of hydrogen include deuterium and tritium. Isotopes of carbon include 13C and 14C. Isotopically-labeled compounds of the invention can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described herein, using an appropriate isotopically-labeled reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent otherwise employed. Such compounds may have a variety of potential uses, for example as standards and reagents in determining biological activity. In the case of stable isotopes, such compounds may have the potential to favorably modify biological, pharmacological, or pharmacokinetic properties.

[0053] Compound (I) is suitable as a CGRP receptor antagonist and is useful in the treatment of CGRP related disorders including migraine headaches, neurogenic vasodilation, neurogenic inflammation, thermal injury, circulatory shock, flush- ing associated with menopause, airway inflammatory diseases such as asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

[0054] Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a naturally occurring 37-aminoacid peptide first identified in 1982 (Amara, S. G. et al, Science 1982, 298, 240-244). Two forms of the peptide are expressed (aCGRP and ßCGRP) which differ by one and three amino acids in rats and humans, respectively. The peptide is widely distributed in both the peripheral (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS), principally localized in sensory afferent and central neurons, and displays a number of biological effects, including vasodilation.

[0055] When released from the cell, CGRP binds to specific cell surface G protein-coupled receptors and exerts its biological action predominantly by activation of intracellular adenylate cyclase (Poyner, D. R. étal, Br J Pharmacol 1992, 105, 441-7; Van Valen, F. etal, Neurosci Lett 1990,119,195-8.). Two classes of CGRP receptors, CGRP1 and CGRP2, have been proposed based on the antagonist properties of the peptide fragment CGRP(8-37) and the ability of linear analogues of CGRP to activate CGRP2 receptors (Juaneda, C. et al. TiPS 2000, 21,432-438). However, there is lack of molecular evidence for the CGRP2 receptor (Brain, S. D. etal, TiPS 2002,23, 51-53). The CGRP1 receptor has three components: (i) a 7 transmembrane calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR); (ii) the single transmembrane receptor activity modifying protein type one (RAMP1); and (iii) the intracellular receptor component protein (RCP) (Evans B. N. et al., J Biol Chem. 2000, 275, 31438-43). RAMP1 is required for transport of CRLR to the plasma membrane and for ligand binding to the CGRP-receptor (McLatchie, L. M. et al, Nature 1998, 393, 333-339). RCP is required for signal transduction (Evans B. N. et al., J Biol Chem. 2000, 275, 31438-43). There are known species-specific differences in binding of small molecule antagonists to the CGRP-receptor with typically greater affinity seen for antagonism of the human receptor than for other species (Brain, S. D. et al, TiPS 2002, 23, 51-53). The amino acid sequence of RAMP1 determines the species selectivity, in particular, the amino acid residue Trp74 is responsible for the phenotype of the human receptor (Mallee et al. J Biol Chem 2002, 277, 14294-8).

[0056] Inhibitors at the receptor level to CGRP are postulated to be useful in pathophysiologic conditions where excessive CGRP receptor activation has occurred. Some of these include neurogenic vasodilation, neurogenic inflammation, migraine, cluster headache and other headaches, thermal injury, circulatory shock, menopausal flushing, and asthma. CGRP receptor activation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of migraine headache (Edvinsson L. CNS Drugs 2001 ; 15(10):745-53; Williamson, D. J. Microsc. Res. Tech. 2001, 53, 167-178.; Grant, A. D. Brit. J. Pharmacol. 2002,135, 356-362.). Serum levels of CGRP are elevated during migraine (Goadsby PJ, et al. Ann Neurol 1990;28:183-7) and treatment with antimigraine drugs returns CGRP levels to normal coincident with alleviation of headache (Gallai V. et al. Cephalalgia 1995;15: 384-90). Migraineurs exhibit elevated basal CGRP levels compared to controls (Ashina M, et al., Pain 2000, 86(1-2):133-8.2000). Intravenous CGRP infusion produces lasting headache in migraineurs (Lassen LH, et al. Cephalalgia 2002 Feb;22(1):54-61). Preclinical studies in dog and rat report that systemic CGRP blockade with the peptide antagonist CGRP(8-37) does not alter resting systemic hemodynamics nor regional blood flow (Shen, Y-T. et al, J Pharmacol Exp Ther 2001,298, 551-8). Thus, CGRP-receptor antagonists may present a novel treatment for migraine that avoids the cardiovascular liabilities of active vasoconstriction associated with non-selective 5-HT1B/1D agonists, ’triptans’ (e.g., sumatriptan).

[0057] CGRP antagonists have shown efficacy in human clinical trials. See Davis CD, Xu C. Curr Top Med Chem. 2008 8(16):1468-79; Benemei S, Nicoletti P, Capone JG, Geppetti P.

Pharmaceutical Compositions and Methods of Treatment [0058] The hemisulfate salt of Compound (I) inhibits the CGRP receptor. As such, the hemisulfate salt of Compound (I) is useful for treating conditions or disorders associated with aberrant CGRP levels or where modulating CGRP levels may have therapeutic benefit.

[0059] Accordingly, another aspect of the invention is a pharmaceutical composition comprising the hemisulfate salt of Compound (I) with a pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvant, carrier, or diluent.

[0064] Compounds are generally given as pharmaceutical compositions comprised of a therapeutically effective amount of the hemisulfate salt of Com pound (I), and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and may contain conventional excipients. A therapeutically effective amount is the amount needed to provide a meaningful patient benefit as determined by practitioners in that art. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are those conventionally known carriers having acceptable safety profiles. Compositions encompass all common solid and liquid forms including capsules, tablets, lozenges, and powders as well as liquid suspensions, syrups, elixirs, and solutions. Solid compositions may by formed in timed or sustained released formulations. Compositions are made using common formulation techniques and conventional excipients (such as binding and wetting agents) and vehicles (such as water and alcohols).

[0065] Solid compositions are normally formulated in dosage units providing from about 1 to about 1000 mg of the active ingredient per dose. Some examples of solid dosage units are 0.1 mg, 1 mg, 10 mg, 100 mg, 500 mg, and 1000 mg. Liquid compositions are generally in a unit dosage range of 1-100 mg/mL. Some examples of liquid dosage units are 0.1 mg/mL, 1 mg/mL, 10 mg/mL, 25 mg/mL, 50 mg/mL, and 100 mg/mL.

[0068] In one embodiment, the hemisulfate salt of Compound (I) is administered once a day. Suitable doses include 70 mg, 80 mg, 90 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg, 200 mg, 250 mg, 300 mg, 500 mg, and 750 mg of the Compound (I) as Form H 1.5-1 of the hemisulfate salt of Compound (I).

[0069] In one embodiment, the hemisulfate salt of Compound (I) is administered twice a day. Suitable doses include 70 mg, 80 mg, 90 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg, 200 mg, 250 mg, 300 mg, 500 mg, and 750 mg of the Compound (I) as Form H 1.5-1 of the hemisulfate salt of Compound (I).

[0070] The invention encompasses all conventional modes of administration including oral, parenteral, intranasal, sublingual, and transdermal methods. Typically, the daily dose will be 0.01-100 mg/kg body weight daily. Generally, more compound is required orally and less parenterally. The specific dosing regimen, however, should be determined by a physician using sound medical judgment.

[0071] Inhibitors at the receptor level to CGRP are postulated to be useful in pathophysiologic conditions where excessive CGRP receptor activation has occurred. Some of these include neurogenic vasodilation, neurogenic inflammation, migraine, cluster headache and other headaches, thermal injury, circulatory shock, menopausal flushing, and asthma. CGRP receptor activation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of migraine headache (Edvinsson L. CNS Drugs 2001, 15(10),745-53; Williamson, D. J. Microsc. Res. Tech. 2001,53, 167-178.; Grant, A. D. Brit. J. Pharmacol. 2002, 135, 356-362.). Serum levels of CGRP are elevated during migraine (Goadsby P. J. et al. Ann. Neurol. 1990, 28, 183-7) and treatment with antimigraine drugs returns CGRP levels to normal coincident with alleviation of headache (Gallai V. et al. Cephalalgia 1995, 15, 384-90). Migraineurs exhibit elevated basal CGRP levels compared to controls (Ashina M. et al., Pain 2000, 86(1-2), 133-8). Intravenous CGRP infusion produces lasting headache in migraineurs (Lassen L.H. et al. Cephalalgia. 2002, 22(1), 54-61). Preclinical studies in dog and rat report that systemic CGRP blockade with the peptide antagonist CGRP(8-37) does not alter resting systemic hemodynamics nor regional blood flow (Shen, Y-T. et al. J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 2001,298, 551-8). Thus, CGRP-receptor antagonists may present a novel treatment for migraine that avoids the cardiovascular liabilities of active vasoconstriction associated with non-selective 5-HT1B/1D agonists, "triptans" (e.g., sumatriptan).

High Throughput Salt Screening for Crystalline Salts of Compound (I) [0102] High throughput crystallization was employed to screen for the formation of crystalline salts of Compound (I). The screening examined acid type, acid level (equivalents), and/or type of crystallization solvent. Each plate contained 96 well plates (8 rows of 12 columns per plate).

[0103] A solution was prepared by dissolving 400 mg of Compound (I) in a mixture of 36 ml THF and 4 mL H20. The solution (12.5 mL) was transferred to 24 vials. To each vial was added 0.25 M EtOH stock solutions of the following acids:

[0104] The content of each vial was transferred to 12 crystallization wells and evaporated to dryness. Upon evaporation, each well was charged with 100 μΙ of solvent using a robotic liquid handler. The following crystallization solvents were tested: methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), ethyl acetate, toluene, THF, acetonitrile, acetone, isopropanol, ethanol, methanol, 1,2-dichloroethylene, isopropanol/water (50:50), and water. Next, the plates were sealed with Teflon septa and subjected to temperature cycling. The plates were maintained at 50 °C for 10 hours and then allowed to cool to room temperature over a period of 14 hours. After the heating/cooling cycle, the contents of the wells were characterized by biréfringent imaging. Perceived crystalline hits were further characterized by PXRD analysis.

[0105] Crystalline salt formation was not observed for Compound (I) in the presence of acetic acid, benzoic acid benzenesulfonicacid, L-lacticacid, maleic acid, L-malicacid, phosphoric acid, and succinic acid. Crystalline saltformation was observed for Compound (I) in the presence of citric acid, fumaric acid, hydrochloric acid, methanesulfonic acid, sulfuric acid, D-tartaric acid, and L-tartaric acid, in at least one solvent. The properties of the crystalline salts of Compound (I) were characterized further.

[0106] The results of the salt screen and crystalline salt characterization are shown in Table 3.

Separately, 52 μί of 96% H2S04 (0.5 equiv.) was dissolved in 8 mL of ethanol and water (3:1) at room temperature (Solution B). Next, 30 mg of seeds were added to the Solution A. Solution B was added to the seeded Solution A over a period of 2 hours with a syringe pump. The resulting slurry was stirred at 70 °C for 1 hour and cooled to 20 °C over 90 min. The slurry was allowed to stir at room temperature overnight. The slurry was filtered. The wet cake was washed with 8 mL of EtOH :water solution (3:1), and dried at 30 °C in a vacuum oven overnight to afford 1.01 g (88.4 mole %) of Example 1 as a crystalline solid. GADDS showed that crystalline solid was in Form H-1.5.

Preparation from Tetrahydrofuran/Water Solution [0108] Compound (I) (1 g) was dissolved in 10 mL of THF and water (4:1) at 50 °C (Solution A). Separately, 52 μί of 96% H2S04 (0.5 equiv.) was dissolved in 10 mL of THF at room temperature (Solution B). Next, 0.5 mL of Solution B was added to Solution A, followed by the addition of 20 mg of seeds. The solution changed into a thin slurry. The remaining quantity of Solution B was to the slurry over a period of 2 hours with a syringe pump. The slurry was stirred at 50 °C for 1 hour and then allowed to cool to 20 °C over a period of 1 hour. The slurry was stirred at room temperature overnight. The slurry was filtered. The wet cake was washed 8 mL of THF:water=3:1, and dried at 30 °C in a vacuum oven overnight to afford 1.06 g (92.8 mole %) of Example 1 as a crystalline solid. GADDS showed that crystalline solid was in Form H-1.5.

Stability Study [0109] The solid state stability of Example 1was tested by exposing samples to various temperature and relative humidity conditions for periods of 1,2, and 4 weeks. The % potency (% pot.) and the % total impurities (% total imp.) are shown in Table 4. The results indicate that the crystalline Form H1.5-1 of the hemisulfate salt of Compound (I) is stable under the tested storage conditions as indicated by no significant increase in total impurity levels and/or no decrease in potency after four weeks of storage.

Table 4

[0110] The moisture sorption isotherm for Example 1 is shown in Figure 5. Example 1 has moisture sorption weight gains of 0.8 weight % and 2.8 weight % between 25% and 75% relative humidity and 5% and 95% relative humidity, respectively. These results indicated that the hemisulfate salt of Compound (I) is low or non-hygroscopic under the tested conditions

Other Crystalline Forms of Example 1 [0113] Form P22C: prepared by heating Form H1.5-1 at 60 °C for 2 hours or at 75 °C for 5 minutes. Water activity studies between Form H1.5-1 and Form P22C showed that Form H 1.5-1 is more stable at > 23% relative humidity.

[0114] Form P33: Form H 1.5-1 converted to Form P33 between 50 °C and 75 °C in variable temperature PXRD experiment. Also observed after Form H1.5-1 was heated to 105 °C for 5 minutes, or prepared by slurring dry powder Form H1.5-1 in dry EtOH or IPAc. Elemental analysis indicated that Form P33 is a hemisulfate monohydrate. Solid state NMR indicated that Form P33 was a single phase. Water activity studies between Form H1.5-1 and Form P33 showed that Form H1.5-1 is more stable at > 23% relative humidity.

[0115] Form P35: Prepared from slurry of Form H 1.5-1 in dry MeOH under molecular sieves (7% RH). Converted to Form P33 when dried at 60 °C.

Stability in Water Slurry [0116] An aqueous slurry of Example 1 was prepared and stored at room temperature. After two days, there was no significant chemical degradation; and no change in the PXRD pattern, which indicated that the crystalline Form H1.5-1 was stable in the aqueous slurry.

[0117] No significant changes were observed in the thermogravimetric scan and the differential scanning calorimetry scan, and in the PXRD.

[0118] The hemisulfate salt of Compound (I) has been compared to other salts of Compound (I) and has been found to be especially advantageous. The hemisulfate salt of Compound (I) has the surprising advantage of providing a salt that is physically stable and chemically stable compared to other salts of Compound (I). Further, the hemisulfate salt had the surprising advantage of being provided in a stable crystalline form, Form H1.5-1. For example, the hemisulfate salt of Compound (I) was reproducibly prepared as a crystalline form, had low hygroscopicity, and did not readily change crystalline form or hydration state in response to changes in relative humidity and/or temperature. In contrast, the citric acid salt, fumaric acid salt, hydrochloric acid salt, methanesulfonic acid salt, phosphoric acid salt, and L-tartaric acid salt were hygroscopic at ambient temperature and relative humidity conditions, resulting is weight changes, hydration state changes, and/or phase changes. Crystalline salt formation was not observed for Compound (I) in the presence of acetic acid, benzoic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, L-lactic acid, maleic acid, L-malic acid, and succinic acid in the high throughput salt screening. Further, the preparation of the hemisulfate salt did not require use of an expensive material such as D-tartaric acid.

Biological Methods

In vitro pharmacology.

[0119] Tissue Culture. SK-N-MC cells were grown at 37 °C in 5% C02 as a monolayer in medium consisting of MEM with Earle’s salts and L-glutamine (Invitrogen) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Invitrogen).

[0120] Membrane Preparation. Crude membranes were prepared from SK-N-MC cells expressing CGRP receptors. The cells were rinsed twice with phosphate-buffered saline (155 mM NaCI, 3.3 mM Na2HP04,1.1 mM KHYDROGENP04, pH 7.4), and incubated for 5-10 min. at 4 °C in hypotonic lysis buffer consisting of 10 mM Tris (pH 7.4) and 5 mM EDTA. The cells were transferred from plates to polypropylene tubes (16 x 100 mm) and homogenized using a polytron. Homogenates were centrifuged at 32,000 x g for 30 min. The pellets were resuspended in cold hypotonic lysis buffer with 0.1 % mammalian protease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma) and assayed for protein concentration. The SK-N-MC homogenate was aliquoted and stored at -80 °C.

[0121] Radioligand Binding Assay. Compound (I) was solubilized and carried through serial dilutions using 100% DMSO. Aliquots from the compound serial dilutions were further diluted 25 fold into assay buffer (50 mM Tris-CI pH 7.5, 5 mM MgCI2,0.005% Triton X-100) and transferred (volume 50 μΙ) into 96 well assay plates. [121l]-CORP (GE Healthcare or Perkin-Elmer) was diluted to 72 pM in assay buffer and a volume of 50 μΙ was added to each well. SK-N-MC membranes were thawed, diluted in assay buffer with fresh 0.1% mammalian protease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma), and re-homogenized. SK-N-MC homogenate (7 μg/well) was added in a volume of 100 μΙ. The assay plates were then incubated at room temperature for 2 h. Assays were stopped by addition of excess cold wash buffer (50 mM Tris-CI pH 7.5, 0.1% BSA) immediately followed by filtration over glass fiber filters (Whatman GF/B) previously soaked in 0.5% PEI. Non-specific binding was defined with 1 μΜ beta-CGRP (Bachem). Protein bound radioactivity was determined using a gamma or scintillation counter. The resulting data was analyzed using a four parameter competitive binding equation (XLfit v2.0) and the IC50 was defined as the concentration of Compound (I) required to displace 50% of radioligand binding. Final assay concentration of [125l]-CORP was 18 pM. The mean Kdfor [125l]-CORP is 25.4 pM. Compound (I) was evaluated in at least two separate experiments. In this study, the Human CGRP Receptor IC50 value of Compound (I) was 0.04 nM.

In Vivo Pharmacokinetic Studies [0122] An in vivo study was conducted comparing the pharmacokinetics of the free base Compound (I) in humans pretreated with 40 mg of famotidine with non-pretreated humans.

[0123] Compound (I) in human EDTA plasma was analyzed using liquid-liquid extraction with uHPLC-MS/MS detection on a Triple Quad 5500 mass spectrometer. The method utilized stable isotope labeled [13C2, D4]-Compound (I) as the internal standard. After the addition of 50 μΙ. of 100 ng/mL [13C2, D4]-Compound (I) in MeOH:water (20/80) and of 50 μΙ_ 1M NH40Ac containing 4% acetic acid buffer solution to 0.100 mL of each study sample, quality control (QC) sample, and calibration standard, the samples were extracted with 600 μΙ. methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) by shaking for 15 min. A 450 μΙ_ portion of the organic layer was removed and evaporated to dryness. The residue was reconstituted in 200 μΙ_ of the reconstitution solution (30% acetonitrile in 10 mM NH40Ac with 0.01% acetic acid). All liquid transfer steps were performed using a Perkin Elmer JANUS Mini® liquid handler except for the addition of the internal standard solution. A 10 μι. aliquot of the extracted sample was injected to uHPLC-MS/MS system. The uHPLC was performed on a LEAP 4X Ultra uHPLC system with LEAP HTC PAL autosampler. Mobile phase A contained 10 mM NH4OAcand 0.01% acetic acid in ACN/water (10:90), and mobile phase B contained 10 mM NH4OAcand 0.01 % acetic acid in ACN/water (90:10). Chromatographic separation was achieved on an Acquity® uHPLC BEH C18 column (1.7 μ(η, 2.1 x 50 mm) with an isocratic elution from 0-1.5 min consisted of 28% Mobile Phase B for analysis of Compound (I), then with a gradient elution consisted of a linear increase from 28% B to 100% B in 0.1 min, then maintaining it at 100% B for 1.1 min for washing out the column. The gradient was then returned to 28% B within 0.1 min, and maintained at 28% for 0.9 min with a total run time of 3.7 min. The flow rate was 0.6 mL/min and column temperature was maintained at 60 °C condition. Detection was accomplished using an AB Sciex Triple Quad 5500 mass spectrometer in positive ESI with turbo ion spray ionization and using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The MRM transitions were m/z 535->256 for Compound (I) and m/z 541->256 for [13C2, D4]-Compound (I). Data acquisition and quantiation were performed using AB Sciex Analyst® 1.5.1 software. The standard curve, which ranged from 0.500 - 500 ng/ml for Compound (I), was fitted to a 1/x2 weighted linear regression model. During sample analysis, four levels of analytical quality control (QC) samples representing low, geometric-mean, medium, and high concentrations of Compound (I) prepared in human EDTA plasma were analyzed in 4 replicates at each concentration level for each analytical run. The results from these QC samples were used to accept or reject the analytical runs containing study samples based on the acceptance criteria established a prior for the analysis of Compound (I) in human EDTA plasma.

[0124] The results of this study are show in Table 7 and Figure 8. A significant reduction in AUC and Cmax of Compound (I) was observed in humans pretreated with 40 mg of famotidine compared to non-pretreated humans.

Table 7

(continued)

[0125] An in vivo study was conducted comparing the pharmacokinetics of the free base Compound (I) and the hemisulfate salt of Compound (I) in dogs pretreated with famotidine or pentagastrin.

[0126] Capsules were prepared containing either 150 mg of Compound (I) as the free base or as the hemisulfate salt of Compound (I): 1. Compound (I) free base capsules: 50 wt. % Compound (I), 42 wt. % microcrystalline cellulose, 3 wt. % croscar-mellose sodium, 4 wt. % Klucel EXF hydroxypropylcellulose, 0.5 wt. % magnesium stearate, 0.5 wt. % colloidal silicon dioxide 2. Compound (I) hemisulfate salt capsules: 57% Example 1 (hemisulfate salt of Compound (I), in crystalline form HI.5-1), 40% microcrystalline cellulose, 3% Croscarmellose sodium.

[0127] Four male dogs (10 kg) were treated according to the following three treatment protocols:

Treatment 1 : pretreatment with pentagastrin (6 μg/kg, IP) several hours prior to the oral administration of Compound (I) free base capsule.

Treatment 2: pretreatment with 40 mg famotidine orally, three hours prior to the oral administration of Compound (I) free base capsule.

Treatment 3: pretreatment with 40 mg famotidine orally, three hours prior to the oral administration of Compound (I) hemisulfate salt capsule.

[0128] Blood samples were collected at 0, 0.5, 1,2, 4, 8, and 24 hours after administration of the Compound (I) free base capsule or Compound (I) hemisulfate salt capsules and stored in EDTA tubes. Compound (I) in dog EDTA plasma was analyzed using liquid-liquid extraction and uHPLC-MS/MS detection on a Triple Quad 5500 mass spectrometer. An aliquot of 0.050 mL of dog EDTA plasma was used for the assay. The method utilized stable isotope labeled [13C2, D4]-Compound (I) as the internal standard. After the addition of 50 μΙ. of 200 ng/mL [13C2, D4]-Compound (I) in Me-OH:water (20/80) and of 50 μΙ. 1M NH4OAc containing 4% acetic acid buffer solution to 0.050 mL of each study sample, quality control (QC) sample, and calibration standard, the samples were extracted with 600 μί methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) by shaking for 15 min. A 450 μί portion of the organic layer was removed and evaporated to dryness. The residue was reconstituted in 300 μί of the reconstitution solution (30% acetonitrile in 10 mM NH40Acwith 0.01% acetic acid). All liquid transfer steps were performed using a Perkin Elmer JANUS Mini® liquid handler except for the addition of the internal standard solution. A 5 μί aliquot of the extracted sample was injected to uHPLC-MS/MS system. The uHPLC was performed on a LEAP 4X Ultra uHPLC system with LEAP HTC PAL autosampler. Mobile phase A contained 10 mM NH4OAc and 0.01 % acetic acid in ACN/water (10:90), and mobile phase B contained 10 mM NH4OAc and 0.01% acetic acid in ACN/water (90:10). Chromatographic separation was achieved on an Acquity® uHPLC BEH C18 column (1.7 μίτι, 2.1 x 50 mm) with an isocratic elution from 0-1.5 min consisted of 28% Mobile Phase B for analysis of Compound (I), then with a gradient elution consisted of a linear increase from 28% B to 100% B in 0.1 min, then maintaining it at 100% B for 1.1 min for washing out the column. The gradient was then returned to 28% B within 0.1 min, and maintained at 28% for 0.9 min with a total run time of 3.7 min. The flow rate was 0.6 mL/min and column temperature was maintained at 60°C condition. Detection was accomplished using an AB Sciex Triple Quad 5500 mass spectrometer in positive ESI with turbo ion spray ionization and using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The MRM transitions were m/z 535-^256 for Compound (I) and mlz 541->256 for [13C2, D4]-Compound (I). Data acquisition and quantification were performed using AB Sciex Analyst® 1.5.1 software. The standard curve, which ranged from 3.00 to 3000 ng/mL for Compound (I), was fitted to a 1/x2 weighted linear regression model. During sample analysis, four levels of analytical quality control (QC) samples representing low, geometric-mean, medium, and high concentrations of Compound (I) prepared in dog EDTA plasma were analyzed in 4 replicates at each concentration level for each analytical run. The results from these QC samples were used to accept or reject the analytical runs containing study samples based on the acceptance criteria established a priori for the analysis of Compound (I) in dog EDTA plasma.

[0129] The results of this study are show in Table 8 and Figure 9. A significant reduction in AUC and Cmax was observed in famotidine pre-treated dogs (high stomach pH) after treatment with the free base Compound (I) compared to pentagastrin pre-treated dogs (low stomach pH). Dosing of Example 1, the hemisulfate sesquihydrate salt of Compound (I), in famotidine pre-treated dogs showed a much lower reduction in AUC and Cmax. In this particular study, the hemisulfate salt of Compound (I) provided a Cmax value of 2596 ng/mL, an AUC0_24hr of 12473 ngh/mL, and 34.73 % bioavailability when administered after pretreatment with famotidine. In contrast, in a similar test, Compound (I) free base provided a Cmax value of 245 ng/mL, an AUC0_24hrof 1762 ng h/mL, and 4.54 % bioavailability when administered after pretreatment with famotidine.

Table 8

[0130] The hemisulfate salt of Compound (I) has been compared to Compound (I) free base and has been found to be especially advantageous. The hemisulfate salt of Compound (I) has the surprising advantage of reducing the variability in the bioavailability of Compound (I) and/or increasing the bioavailability of Compound (I) to the patient. Based on these in vitro and in vivo data, it is expected that the hemisulfate will provide a significant advantage of consistency in bioavailability among patients over the free form. To illustrate, the hemisulfate form provides surprisingly enhanced bioavailability in a patient population that is dosed with medicines that can raise the pH of stomach acids, such as antacids, proton pump inhibitors, or H2-receptor antagonists.

Single Crystal Data (LVL) [0131] Data were collected on a Bruker-Nonius CAD4 serial diffractometer. Unit cell parameters were obtained through least-squares analysis of the experimental diffractometer settings of 25 high-angle reflections. Intensities were measured using Cu Ka radiation (λ = 1.5418 À) at a constant temperature with the Θ-2Θ variable scan technique and were corrected only for Lorentz-polarization factors. Background counts were collected at the extremes of the scan for half of the time of the scan. Alternately, single crystal data were collected on a Bruker-Nonius Kappa CCD 2000 system using Cu Ka radiation (λ = 1.5418 À). Indexing and processing of the measured intensity data were carried out with the HKL2000 software package (Otwinowski, Z &amp; Minor, W. (1997) in Macromolecular Crystallography, eds. Carter, W.C. Jr. &amp; Sweet, R.M. (Academic, NY), Vol. 276, pp307-326) in the Collect program suite. (Collect Data collection and processing user interface: Collect: Data collection software, R. Hooft, Nonius B.V., 1998). Alternately, single crystal data were collected on a Bruker-AXS APEX2 CCD system using Cu Ka radiation (λ= 1.5418 Λ). Indexing and processing of the measured intensity data were carried out with the APEX2 software package/program suite (APEX2 Data collection and processing user interface: APEX2 User Manual, v1.27; BRUKER AXS, Inc., Madison, Wl).

[0132] When indicated, crystals were cooled in the cold stream of an Oxford cryo system (Oxford Cryosystems Cry-ostream cooler: J. Cosier and A.M. Glazer, J. Appl. Cryst., 1986, 19, 105) during data collection.

[0133] The structures were solved by direct methods and refined on the basis of observed reflections using either the SDP software package (SDP, Structure Determination Package, Enraf-Nonius, Bohemia NY) with minor local modifications or the crystallographic packages MAXUS (maXus solution and refinement software suite: S. Mackay, C.J. Gilmore, C. Edwards, M. Tremayne, N. Stewart, K. Shankland. maXus: a computer program for the solution and refinement of crystal structures from diffraction data) or SHELXTL (Sheldrick, GM. 1997, SHELXTL. Structure Determination Programs. Version 5.10 or greater, Bruker AXS, Madison, Wisconsin)..

[0134] The derived atomic parameters (coordinates and temperature factors) were refined through full matrix least-squares. The function minimized in the refinements was Ew(|Fol - |FC|)2- R is defined as Σ ||F0| - |FC||/X- |F0| while Rw = Ew( |F0| - |Fcl2Ew |F0|2]1/2 where w is an appropriate weighting function based on errors in the observed intensities. Difference maps were examined at all stages of refinement. Hydrogens were introduced in idealized positions with isotropic temperature factors, but no hydrogen parameters were varied.

Single Crystal Data (WFD) [0135] A Bruker SMART 2K CCD diffractometer equipped with graphite-monochromated Cu Ka radiation, (λ = 1.54056 Λ) was used to collect diffraction data at the room temperature. A full data set was collected using the ω scan mode over the 2Θ range with a crystal-to-detector distance of 4.98 cm. An empirical absorption correction utilized the SADABS routine associated with the diffractometer (Bruker AXS. 1998, SMART and SAINTPLUS. Area Detector Control and Integration Software, Bruker AXS, Madison, Wisconsin, USA). The final unit cell parameters were determined using the entire data set.

[0136] All structures were solved by direct methods and refined by the full-matrix least-squares techniques, using the SHELXTL software package (Sheldrick, GM. 1997, SHELXTL. Structure Determination Programs. Version 5.10, Bruker AXS, Madison, Wisconsin, USA.). The function minimized in the refinements was ZW(|F0| - |FC|)2. R is defined as Σ ||F0| - |FC||/E |F0| while Rw = Ew(|F0| - |FC|)2/Ew |F0|2]1/2, where w is an appropriate weighting function based on errors in the observed intensities. Difference Fourier maps were examined at all stages of refinement. All non-hydrogen atoms were refined with anisotropic thermal displacement parameters. The hydrogen atoms associated with hydrogen bonding were located in the final difference Fourier maps while the positions of the other hydrogen atoms were calculated from an idealized geometry with standard bond lengths and angles. They were assigned isotropic temperature factors and included in structure factor calculations with fixed parameters. PXRD (Philips) [0137] About 200 mg were packed into a Philips powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) sample holder. The sample was tranferred to a Philips MPD unit (45 KV, 40 mA, Cu Ka). Data were collected at room temperature in the 2 to 32 2-theta range (continuous scanning mode, scanning rate 0.03 degrees/sec., auto divergence and anti scatter slits, receiving slit: 0.2 mm, sample spinner : ON) PXRD (GADDS-NB) [0138] X-ray powder diffraction (PXRD) data were obtained using a Bruker C2 GADDS. The radiation was Cu Ka (40 KV, 40mA). The sample-detector distance was 15 cm. Powder samples were placed in sealed glass capillaries of 1mm or less in diameter; the capillary was rotated during data collection. Data were collected for 3<29<5° with a sample exposure time of at least 1000 seconds. The resulting two-dimensional diffraction arcs were integrated to create a traditional 1-dimensional PXRD pattern with a step size of 0.02 degrees 2Θ in the range of 3 to 35 degrees 2Θ. DSC (open pan) [0139] Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) experiments were performed in a TA Instruments™ model Q2000, Q1000 or 2920. The sample (about 2-6 mg) was weighed in an aluminum pan and recorded accurately recorded to a hundredth of a milligram, and transferred to the DSC. The instrument was purged with nitrogen gas at 50mL/min. Data were collected between room temperature and 300°C at 10°C/min heating rate. The plot was made with the endothermic peaks pointing down. TGA (open pan) [0140] Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) experiments were performed in a TA Instruments™ model Q500 or 2950. The sample (about 10-30 mg) was placed in a platinum pan previously tared. The weight of the sample was measured accurately and recorded to a thousand of a milligram by the instrument. The furnace was purged with nitrogen gas at 100mL/min. Data were collected between room temperature and 300°C at 10°C/min heating rate.

Solid-State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (SSNMR) [0141] All solid-state C-13 NMR measurements were made with a Bruker AV-400, 400 MHz NMR spectrometer. High resolution spectra were obtained using high-power proton decoupling and theTPPM pulse sequence and ramp amplitude cross-polarization (RAMP-CP) with magic-angle spinning (MAS) at approximately 12 kHz (A.E. Bennett et al, J. Chem. Phys.,1995, 103, 6951),(G. Metz, X. Wu and S.O. Smith, J. Magn. Reson. A,. 1994, 110, 219-227). Approximately 70 mg of sample, packed into a canister-design zirconia rotor was used for each experiment. Chemical shifts (δ) were referenced to external adamantane with the high frequency resonance being set to 38.56 ppm (W.L. Earl and D.L. VanderHart, J. Magn. Reson., 1982, 48, 35-54). VTI (dry on) [0142] Moisture sorption isotherms were collected in a VTI SGA-100 Symmetric Vapor Analyzer using approximately 10 mg of sample. The sample was dried at 60°C until the loss rate of 0.0005 wt %/min was obtained for 10 minutes. The sample was tested at 25 °C and 3 or 4, 5, 15, 25, 35, 45, 50, 65, 75, 85, and 95% RH. Equilibration at each RH was reached when the rate of 0.0003 wt%/min for 35 minutes was achieved or a maximum of 600 minutes.
