Description

Crystalline Forms The invention relates to novel crystalline forms of {[6-((S)methoxy-pyrrolidinyl)- yl-pyrimidinecarbonyl]-amino}phosphono-propionyl)-piperazinecarboxylic acid butyl ester hydrochloride (hereinafter also referred to as "COMPOUND·HCl"), processes for the preparation thereof, pharmaceutical compositions comprising said crystalline forms, pharmaceutical compositions sing 4-((R){[6-((S)methoxy-pyrrolidinyl) phenyl-pyrimidinecarbonyl]-amino}phosphono-propionyl)-piperazinecarboxylic acid butyl ester (hereinafter also referred to as "COMPOUND") wherein COMPOUND is obtained from said crystalline forms of ND·HCl, pharmaceutical compositions prepared from such lline forms of COMPOUND·HCl, use of the crystalline forms of COMPOUND·HCl as P2Y12 receptor antagonists in the treatment of s P2Y12 receptor-mediated diseases and disorders and use of COMPOUND as P2Y12 receptor antagonist in the treatment of various P2Y12 receptor-mediated diseases and disorders wherein COMPOUND is obtained from said lline forms of COMPOUND·HCl.
Background of the invention: The circulation of blood from and to organs guarantees the supply of oxygen, nutrients, as well as the disposal of catabolic products. Therefore, the integrity of blood vessels is essential at all times. When the vascular integrity is compromised, a highly efficient repair mechanism is activated at the site of injury resulting in the formation of a repair seal to prevent further blood loss. This fundamental biological process is defined as hemostasis.
Thrombosis is the result of a pathological deviation of one or several components involved in asis leading to uncontrolled platelet thrombus formation and vessel occlusion. ets have been described to contribute to hemostasis and thrombosis since their discovery (Coller BS, Historical perspective and future directions in platelet research. J Thromb Haemost. 2011;9 Suppl 1:374-395). More recently, atherosclerotic s in combination with occlusive platelet thrombi have been found in ts with ischemic cardiac death (Davies MJ et al., Intramyocardial platelet aggregation in ts with unstable angina suffering sudden ischemic cardiac death. Circulation. 1986;73:418-427).
Inhibition of platelet aggregation is recognized as an ive gy for the prevention of thrombosis in patients with atherosclerotic e in the coronary (Jneid H et al., 2012 accf/aha focused update of the guideline for the management of patients with unstable angina/non-st-elevation myocardial infarction (updating the 2007 guideline and replacing the 2011 focused update): A report of the american college of cardiology foundation/american heart association task force on practice guidelines. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2012;60:645-681; O'Gara PT et al., 2013 accf/aha guideline for the management of st-elevation myocardial tion: A report of the american college of cardiology tion/american heart association task force on practice guidelines. Circulation. 2013;127:e362-425), peripheral (Jagroop IA et al., The effect of clopidogrel, aspirin and both antiplatelet drugs on platelet function in patients with peripheral arterial e. ets. 2004;15:117-125; as M et al., The effect of a loading dose (300 mg) of clopidogrel on platelet function in patients with peripheral arterial disease. Clin Appl Thromb Hemost. 2003;9:115-120), and cerebrovascular circulation (Liu F et al., P2Y12 receptor inhibitors for secondary prevention of ischemic stroke.
Expert Opin Pharmacother. 2015;16:1149-1165). tion of P2Y 12 as an antiplatelet approach was ted in multiple clinical s. Several P2Y12 nists have been demonstrated to effectively reduce the risk of e cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (Cattaneo M, The platelet P2Y12 or for adenosine diphosphate: Congenital and drug-induced s. Blood. 2011;117:2102-2112; Thomas MR et al., The future of P2Y12 receptor nists. Platelets. 2015;26:392-398; Wiviott SD et al., Clinical evidence for oral antiplatelet therapy in acute coronary syndromes. Lancet. 2015;386:292- 302; Wallentin L, P2Y12 inhibitors: Differences in properties and mechanisms of action and potential consequences for clinical use. Eur Heart J. 2009;30:1964-1977). In current treatment guidelines, P2Y12 nists define the cornerstone therapy for patients with ACS (Jneid H et al., 2012 accf/aha focused update of the guideline for the management of patients with unstable angina/non-st-elevation myocardial infarction (updating the 2007 guideline and replacing the 2011 focused update): A report of the american e of cardiology tion/american heart association task force on practice guidelines.

Circulation. 2013;127:e362-425).
Three indirect P2Y12 antagonists of the thienopyridine family, which block the ADP-induced platelet activation and aggregation, have reached the market: the orally active ticlopidine, clopidogrel and prasugrel. In addition, two direct P2Y12 antagonists, which do not require metabolic activation and therefore display faster on- and offset of action, have received market approval: the nucleotide analogues ticagrelor and cangrelor. 4-((R){[6-((S)methoxy-pyrrolidinyl)phenyl-pyrimidinecarbonyl]-amino} phosphono-propionyl)-piperazinecarboxylic acid butyl ester is a potent, reversible, and selective P2Y12 receptor antagonist (Caroff E et al., J. Med. Chem . 2015;58:9133-9153; WO 69100). Its hydrochloride salt was used as a powder in a first-in-man clinical trial (Baldoni et al., Clinical Drug Investigation 2014;34:807-818). e the fact that many ts failed to crystallize ND·HCl from several solvents in a mono-phase solvent system, it surprisingly has been found that a crystallization took place in certain heterogeneous solvent systems. The obtained lline forms of COMPOUND·HCl may have advantageous ties in view of the potential use of COMPOUND·HCl or COMPOUND as active ceutical ingredient. Such advantages may include higher purity; better storage stability; better flow properties; less hygroscopicity; better reproducibility in cturing (for example better filtration ters, better reproducibility of formation, and/or better sedimentation); and/or defined morphology. Such crystalline forms of COMPOUND·HCl may be particularly suitable in a process of manufacturing certain ceutical compositions. It is an object of the present invention to go at least some way to achieving one or more of the abovementioned advantages, and/or to at least provide the public with a useful choice.
