  • Crystal refers to a material, which may be hydrated and/or solvated, and has sufficient ordering of the chemical moiety to exhibit a discernable diffraction pattern by XRPD or other diffraction techniques. Often, a crystalline material that is obtained by direct crystallization of a compound dissolved in a solution or by interconversion of crystals obtained under different crystallization conditions, will have crystals that contain the solvent used in the crystallization, termed a crystalline solvate.
  • crystallization conditions may result in the crystalline material having physical and chemical properties that are unique to the crystallization conditions, generally due to the orientation of the chemical moieties of the compound with respect to each other within the crystal and/or the predominance of a specific polymorphic form of the compound in the crystalline material.

  • the amorphous content of a crystalline material may be increased by grinding or pulverizing the material, which is evidenced by broadening of diffraction and other spectral lines relative to the crystalline material prior to grinding. Sufficient grinding and/or pulverizing may broaden the lines relative to the crystalline material prior to grinding to the extent that the XRPD or other crystal specific spectrum may become undiscernable, making the material substantially amorphous or quasi-amorphous.

Glassy materials are a type of amorphous material. Glassy materials do not have a true crystal lattice, and technically resembling very viscous non-crystalline liquids.

It is noted that additional diseases beyond those disclosed herein may be later identified as the biological roles that DPP-IV plays in various pathways becomes more fully understood.
  • Compound I may be used to treat or prevent diabetes and obesity related conditions.
  • DPP-IV has been shown to be the primary degrading enzyme of GLP-1 (7-36), in vivo.
  • GLP-1 (7-36) has multiple actions in vivo including the stimulation of insulin secretion, inhibition of glucagon secretion, the promotion of satiety, and the slowing of gastric emptying.
  • the actions of GLP-1 (7-36) are believed to be beneficial in the prevention and treatment of type II diabetes and potentially obesity.
  • DPP-IV degrades GLP-1 (7-36) efficiently to GLP-1 (9-36), which has been speculated to act as a physiological antagonist to GLP-1 (7-36).
  • Inhibiting DPP-IV in vivo is therefore believed to be useful for potentiating endogenous levels of GLP-1 (7-36) and attenuating the formation of its antagonist GLP-1 (9-36).
  • Compound I are believed to be useful in preventing, delaying the progression, and/or treating diabetes and more particularly, type 2 diabetes mellitus, diabetic dislipidemia, conditions of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), conditions of impaired fasting plasma glucose (IFG), metabolic acidosis, ketosis, appetite regulation and obesity.
  • Compound I may be used as immuno-suppressants (or cytokine release suppressant drugs).
  • DPP-IV expression is increased in T-cells upon mitogenic or antigenic stimulation (Mattem, T., et al., Scand. J. Immunol., 1991, 33, 737). It has been reported that inhibitors of DPP-IV and antibodies to DPP-IV suppress the proliferation of mitogen-stimulated and antigen-stimulated T-cells in a dose-dependant manner (Schon, E., et al., Biol. Chem., 1991, 372, 305).
  • T-lymphocytes Various other functions of T-lymphocytes such as cytokine production, IL-2 mediated cell proliferation and B-cell helper activity have been shown to be dependent on DPP-IV activity (Schon, E., et al., Scand. J. Immunol., 1989, 29, 127).
  • DPP-IV inhibitors based on boroProline, (Flentke, G. R., et al., Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA, 1991, 88, 1556) although unstable, were effective at inhibiting antigen-induced lymphocyte proliferation and IL-2 production in murine CD4 + T-helper cells.
  • Such boronic acid inhibitors have been shown to have an effect in vivo in mice causing suppression of antibody production induced by immune challenge (Kubota, T. et al., Clin. Exp. Immun., 1992, 89, 192).
  • the role of DPP-IV in regulating T lymphocyte activation may also be attributed, in part, to its cell-surface association with the transmembrane phosphatase, CD45.
  • DPP-IV inhibitors or non-active site ligands may possibly disrupt the CD45-DPP-IV association.
  • CD45 is known to be an integral component of the T-cell signaling apparatus.
  • DPP-IV is essential for the penetration and infectivity of HIV-1 and HIV-2 viruses in CD4 + T-cells (Wakselman, M., Nguyen, C., Mazaleyrat, J.-P., Callebaut, C., Krust, B., Hovanessian, A. G., Inhibition of HIV-1 infection of CD26 + but not CD26 ⁇ cells by a potent cyclopeptidic inhibitor of the DPP-IV activity of CD26, Abstract P.44 of the 24 th European Peptide Symposium 1996).
  • DPP-IV has been shown to associate with the enzyme adenosine deaminase (ADA) on the surface of T-cells (Kameoka, J., et al., Science, 193, 26 466).
  • ADA deficiency causes severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID) in humans.
  • SCID severe combined immunodeficiency disease
  • inhibitors of DPP-IV may be useful immunosuppressants (or cytokine release suppressant drugs) for the treatment of, among other things, organ transplant rejection; autoimmune diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis; and the treatment of AIDS.

It has been shown that lung endothelial cell DPP-IV is an adhesion molecule for lung-metastatic rat breast and prostate carcinoma cells (Johnson, R. C., et al., J. Cell. Biol., 1993, 121, 1423). DPP-IV is known to bind to fibronectin and some metastatic tumor cells are known to carry large amounts of fibronectin on their surface. Potent DPP-IV inhibitors may be useful as drugs to prevent metastases of, for example, breast and prostrate tumors to the lungs.
  • Compound I may be useful as agents to treat dermatological diseases such as psoriasis and lichen planus.
  • High levels of DPP-IV expression have also been found in human skin fibroblast cells from patients with psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and lichen planus (Raynaud, F., et al., J. Cell. Physiol., 1992, 151, 378). Therefore, DPP-IV inhibitors may be useful as agents to treat these conditions.
  • Compound I may be useful as a male contraceptive agent, and for treating female infertility and amenorrhea.
  • High DPP-IV activity has been found in tissue homogenates from patients with benign prostate hypertrophy and in prostatosomes. These are prostate derived organelles important for the enhancement of sperm forward motility (Vanhoof, G., et al., Eur. J. Clin. Chem. Clin. Biochem., 1992, 30, 333).
  • DPP-IV inhibitors may also act to suppress sperm motility and therefore act as a male contraceptive agent.
  • DPP-IV inhibitors have been implicated as novel for treatment of infertility, and particularly human female infertility due to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS, Stein-Leventhal syndrome) which is a condition characterized by thickening of the ovarian capsule and formation of multiple follicular cysts. It results in infertility and amenorrhea.
  • PCOS polycystic ovary syndrome
  • Compound I may be used to modulate cleavage of various cytokines (stimulating hematopoietic cells), growth factors and neuropeptides. It was discovered that inhibitors of DPP-IV are useful for stimulating the growth and differentiation of hematopoietic cells in the absence of exogenously added cytokines or other growth factors or stromal cells. Stimulated hematopoietic cells are useful for the treatment of disorders that are characterized by a reduced number of hematopoietic cells or their precursors in vivo. Such conditions occur frequently in patients who are immunosuppressed, for example, as a consequence of chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy for cancer.
  • Compound I may be useful in the treatment of short stature due to growth hormone deficiency (Dwarfism).
  • DPP-IV in human plasma has been shown to cleave N-terminal Tyr-Ala from growth hormone-releasing factor and cause inactivation of the hormone. Accordingly, inhibiting DPP-IV will modulate its effect and may promote GH-dependent tissue growth or re-growth.
  • Compound I may be useful for the regulation or normalization of neurological disorders.
  • DPP-IV can cleave neuropeptides and has been shown to modulate the activity of neuroactive peptides substance P, neuropeptide Y and CLIP (Mentlein, R., Dahms, P., Grandt, D., Kruger, R., Proteolytic processing of neuropeptide Y and peptide YY by DPP-IV, Regul. Pept., 49, 133, 1993; Wetzel, W., Wagner, T., Vogel, D., Demuth, H.-U., Balschun, D., Effects of the CLIP fragment ACTH 20-24 on the duration of REM sleep episodes, Neuropeptides, 31, 41, 1997).

  • The present invention is directed to novel polymorphs, and compositions comprising the succinic acid salt of 2-[6-(3-amino-piperidin-1-yl)-3-methyl-2,4-dioxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrimidin-1-ylmethyl]-4-fluoro-benzonitrile (Compound I) of the formula
  • Figure US20080227798A1-20080918-C00003
  • where at least a portion of Compound I is present in the composition in a form selected from the group consisting of crystalline forms, Forms A to G, and an amorphous form, Amorphous Form.
  • Also provided are kits and other articles of manufacture with compositions comprising Compound I where at least a portion of Compound I is present in the composition in a form selected from the group consisting of crystalline Forms A to G, and Amorphous Form.
  • Various methods are also provided including methods of making each of the disclosed forms; methods for manufacturing pharmaceutical compositions comprising Compound I where at least a portion of Compound I is present in the composition in a form selected from the group consisting of crystalline Forms A to G, and Amorphous Form; and methods of using compositions comprising Compound I where at least a portion of Compound I is present in the composition in a form selected from the group consisting of crystalline Forms A to G, and Amorphous Form.
  • As one will appreciate, depending on how a composition comprising a given compound is produced and then, once produced, how the composition is stored and manipulated, will influence the crystalline content of the composition. Accordingly, it is possible for a composition to comprise no crystalline content or may comprise higher concentrations of crystalline content.
  • It is further noted that a compound may be present in a given composition in one or more different polymorphic forms, as well as optionally also being present as an amorphous material. This may be the result of (a) physically mixing two or more different polymorphic forms; (b) having two or more different polymorphic forms be generated from crystallization conditions; (c) having all or a portion of a given polymorphic form convert into another polymorphic form; (d) having all or a portion of a compound in an amorphous state convert into two or more polymorphic forms; as well as for a host of other reasons.
  • As can be seen, depending on how a composition comprising a compound is prepared, the percentage, by weight, of that compound in a given polymorphic form can vary from 0% to 100%. According to the present invention, compositions are provided where greater than 0.1%, 1%, 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 97%, or 99% or more of Compound I (by weight) is present in the composition in a form selected from the group consisting of Forms A to G, and Amorphous Form.
    • DEFINITIONS
  • “Crystalline”, as the term is used herein, refers to a material, which may be hydrated and/or solvated, and has sufficient ordering of the chemical moiety to exhibit a discernable diffraction pattern by XRPD or other diffraction techniques. Often, a crystalline material that is obtained by direct crystallization of a compound dissolved in a solution or by interconversion of crystals obtained under different crystallization conditions, will have crystals that contain the solvent used in the crystallization, termed a crystalline solvate. Also, the specific solvent system and physical embodiment in which the crystallization is performed, collectively termed crystallization conditions, may result in the crystalline material having physical and chemical properties that are unique to the crystallization conditions, generally due to the orientation of the chemical moieties of the compound with respect to each other within the crystal and/or the predominance of a specific polymorphic form of the compound in the crystalline material.
  • Depending upon the polymorphic form(s) of the compound that are present in a composition, various amounts of the compound in an amorphous solid state may also be present, either as a side product of the initial crystallization, and/or a product of degradation of the crystals comprising the crystalline material. Thus, crystalline, as the term is used herein, contemplates that the composition may include amorphous content; the presence of the crystalline material among the amorphous material being detectably among other methods by the composition having a discernable diffraction pattern.
  • The amorphous content of a crystalline material may be increased by grinding or pulverizing the material, which is evidenced by broadening of diffraction and other spectral lines relative to the crystalline material prior to grinding. Sufficient grinding and/or pulverizing may broaden the lines relative to the crystalline material prior to grinding to the extent that the XRPD or other crystal specific spectrum may become undiscernable, making the material substantially amorphous or quasi-amorphous.
  • Continued grinding would be expected to increase the amorphous content and further broaden the XRPD pattern with the limit of the XRPD pattern being so broadened that it can no longer be discerned above noise. When the XRPD pattern is broadened to the limit of being indiscernible, the material may be considered no longer a crystalline material, but instead be wholly amorphous. For material having increased amorphous content and wholly amorphous material, no peaks should be observed that would indicate grinding produces another form.
  • “Amorphous”, as the term is used herein, refers to a composition comprising a compound that contains too little crystalline content of the compound to yield a discernable pattern by XRPD or other diffraction techniques. Glassy materials are a type of amorphous material. Glassy materials do not have a true crystal lattice, and technically resembling very viscous non-crystalline liquids. Rather than being true solids, glasses may better be described as quasi-solid amorphous material.
  • “Broad” or “broadened”, as the term is used herein to describe spectral lines, including XRPD, NMR and IR spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy lines, is a relative term that relates to the line width of a baseline spectrum. The baseline spectrum is often that of an unmanipulated crystalline form of a specific compound as obtained directly from a given set of physical and chemical conditions, including solvent composition and properties such as temperature and pressure. For example, broadened can be used to describe the spectral lines of a XRPD spectrum of ground or pulverized material comprising a crystalline compound relative to the material prior to grinding. In materials where the constituent molecules, ions or atoms, as solvated or hydrated, are not tumbling rapidly, line broadening is indicative of increased randomness in the orientation of the chemical moieties of the compound, thus indicative of an increased amorphous content. When comparisons are made between crystalline materials obtained via different crystallization conditions, broader spectral lines indicate that the material producing the relatively broader spectral lines has a higher level of amorphous material.
  • “About” as the term is used herein, refers to an estimate that the actual value falls within ±5% of the value cited.
  • “Forked” as the term is used herein to describe DSC endotherms and exotherms, refers to overlapping endotherms or exotherms having distinguishable peak positions.
    • Preparation and Characterization of the Polymorphs
  • A. Preparation of Compound I
  • Various methods may be used to synthesize Compound I. A representative method for synthesizing Compound I is provided in Example 1. It is noted, however, that other synthetic routes may also be used to synthesize Compound I including those disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/080,992, filed Mar. 15, 2005, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
  • B. Preparation of the Polymorphs of Compound I
  • General methods for precipitating and crystallizing a compound may be applied to prepare the various polymorphs described herein. These general methods are known to those skilled in the art of synthetic organic chemistry and pharmaceutical formulation, and are described, for example, by J. March, “Advanced Organic Chemistry: Reactions, Mechanisms and Structure,” 4th Ed. (New York: Wiley-Interscience, 1992).
  • In general, a given polymorph of a compound may be obtained by direct crystallization of the compound or by crystallization of the compound followed by inter-conversion from another polymorphic form or from an amorphous form. Depending on the method by which a compound is crystallized, the resulting composition may contain different amounts of the compound in crystalline form as opposed to as an amorphous material. Also, the resulting composition may contain differing mixtures of different polymorphic forms of the compound.
  • Compositions comprising a higher percentage of crystalline content (e.g., forming crystals having fewer lattice defects and proportionately less glassy material) are generally prepared when using conditions that favor slower crystal formation, including slow solvent evaporation and those affecting kinetics. Crystallization conditions may be appropriately adjusted to obtain higher quality crystalline material as necessary. Thus, for example, if poor crystals are formed under an initial set of crystallization conditions, the solvent temperature may be reduced and ambient pressure above the solution may be increased relative to the initial set of crystallization conditions in order to slow down crystallization.
  • Precipitation of a compound from solution, often affected by rapid evaporation of solvent, is known to favor the compound forming an amorphous solid as opposed to crystals. A compound in an amorphous state may be produced by rapidly evaporating solvent from a solvated compound, or by grinding, pulverizing or otherwise physically pressurizing or abrading the compound while in a crystalline state.
  • Compound I as prepared by the method described in Example 1 may be used as the starting material for preparation of all other polymorphic forms. The methods for testing the solubility of Compound I are described in Example 2, and the solubilities of Compound I in various solvents are summarized in Table A of Example 2. Poor solubility was observed in most solvents with the exceptions of dimethyl formamide (DMF), methanol, trifluoroethanol (TFE), water, and water:solvent mixtures.
  • Methods by which the various polymorphic forms may be prepared are described in Subsection A, Example 3. Specific methods by which Forms A-G, and Amorphous Form may be prepared are described in Tables B and C of Example 3. Methods useful for forming Form A, Form A+B, Form C, Form D, Form E, Form A+F, Form A+E+G, and Amorphous Form are described in Examples 3-10, respectively.
  • C. Polymorphs of Compound I
  • Seven crystalline forms and one amorphous solid were identified by conducting a polymorph screen (Example 3).
  • Described herein are Form A, Form B, Form C, Form D, Form E, Form F, Form G, and Amorphous Form of Compound I. Where possible, the results of each test for each different polymorph are provided. Forms A, C, D and E were prepared as pure forms. Forms B, F, and G were prepared as mixtures with Form A.
  • Various tests were performed in order to physically characterize the polymorphs of Compound I including X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), hot stage microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Fourier transform Raman spectrometry, linked thermogravimetric-infrared spectroscopy (TG-IR), solution proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), solid state 13carbon nuclear magnetic resonance (13C-NMR), and moisture sorption and desorption analysis (M S/Des). Detailed experimental conditions for each of the analytical techniques are described in Example 3, Subsection B. The characterization of Forms A-G and Amorphous Form are described in Examples 1-18. Methods for testing the stabilities of the various forms of Compound I, and the conditions under which the polymeric forms interconvert are describe in Examples 19-25.
  • 1. Form A
  • Form A may be prepared by crystallization from the various solvents and under the various crystallization conditions used during the polymorph screen (e.g., fast and slow evaporation, cooling of saturated solutions, slurries, and solvent/antisolvent additions). Tables B and C of Example 3 summarize the procedures by which Form A was prepared. For example, Form A was obtained by room temperature slurry of an excess amount of Compound I in acetone, acetonitrile, dichloromethane, 1,4-dioxane, diethyl ether, hexane, methanol, isopropanol, water, ethylacetate, tetrahydrofuran, toluene, or other like solvents on a rotating wheel for approximately 5 or 7 days. The solids were collected by vacuum filtration, and air dried in the hood. Also, Form A was precipitated from a methanol solution of Compound I by slow evaporation (SE).
  • Form A was characterized by XRPD, TGA, hot stage microscopy, IR, Raman spectroscopy, solution 1H-NMR, and solid state 13C-NMR.
  • FIG. 1 shows a characteristic XRPD spectrum (CuKα, λ=1.5418 Å) of Form A. The XRPD pattern confirmed that Form A was crystalline. Major X-Ray diffraction lines expressed in °2θ and their relative intensities are summarized in Table 1.

  • Form A was further characterized by solution 1H NMR and solid-state 13carbon NMR. The spectra are reported in FIGS. 6 and 7, respectively. Chemical assignments were not performed; however, the spectra are consistent with the known chemical structure of Compound I.
  • A relative humidity stressing study (Example 19) showed that after storing under approximately 58% and 97% relative humidity for 29 days, Form A did not exhibit form changes as evidenced by XRPD. Additional relative humidity stressing studies, studies showed that Form B and Amorphous Form also converted to Form A.
  • Based on the above available characterization data, Form A was anhydrous and stable at ambient conditions.

  • This unique set of XRPD peaks or a subset thereof can be used to identify Form A+B of Compound I. A subset set of peaks that is characteristic of Form B was obtained by subtracting the XRPD peak positions of Form A from those of Form A+B. This subset which may be used to identify the presence of Form B comprises peaks positioned at about 12.51, 18.83 and 24.46 °2θ.
  • DSC analysis (FIG. 12) showed a broad endotherm at about 100° C., followed by small endotherms at 138° C. and 163° C. and a major endotherm at 193° C. These events suggested a slow desolvation/dehydration of Form A+B, and then melting of the desolvated Form B (163° C.) and Form A (193° C.).
  • These melting events were confirmed by hot stage microscopy which also showed portion of the particles melted at approximately 179° C. and the rest of the particles melted at 188° C. (micrographs not included).
  • The TGA analysis (FIG. 9) indicated a 2.0% weight loss when Form A+B was heated from 25° C. to 98° C. and an additional 0.7% weight loss when heating continued from 98° C. to 175° C.
  • TG-IR (FIGS. 10 and 11) analysis revealed that the weight loss shown by TGA (FIG. 10) was due to the volatilization of water (FIG. 11). A 2.4% weight loss was consistent with approximately 0.5 to 1.0 moles of water. Since Form A was showed to be anhydrous, these results suggest that Form B was a hydrated solid form.
  • Moisture sorption/desorption analysis (FIG. 13 and Example 23) showed a 0.7% weight loss on equilibration at 5% relative humidity. A reversible weight change of 1.2% weight was observed on sorption/desorption. XRPD analysis of the material remaining after the moisture sorption analysis was consistent with Form A.
  • Form B may be converted to Form A under dehydrating conditions. When Form A+B was stressed at 58% and 88% relative humidity for 23 days, the solids remained were Form A (Example 19). When Form A+B was exposed to ambient conditions for two days and in a vacuum oven at ambient temperature for one day, Form A+B converted to Form A (Example 20). When Form A+B was slurried in water and the water subsequently removed by evaporation, Form A+B converted to Form A (Example 21).
  • Based on the characterization data collected, Form B was a crystalline, hydrated solid.
  • 3. Form C
  • Form C was prepared by precipitation from an IPA solution of Compound I by slow cooling (Example 5). XRPD confirmed that Form C was crystalline.
  • The characteristic XRPD spectrum (CuKα, λ=1.5418 Å) of Form C is shown in FIG. 14. The major diffraction peaks expressed in 020 and their relative intensities are summarized in Table 3 below.

  • This unique set of XRPD peak positions or a subset thereof can be used to identify Form C. Particularly useful for identification of Form C are peaks at about 5.44 and 6.07 °2θ because these peaks did not exhibit a shoulder or peak split greater than 0.2 °2θ.
  • 4. Form D
  • Form D was precipitated by adding acetonitrile (a miscible antisolvent) to a water solution of Compound I (Example 6). The precipitates were characterized by solution 1H NMR, XRPD, TGA, DSC, TG-IR, and hot stage microscopy.
  • Solution 1H NMR data (spectrum not included) showed that Form D had the same chemical structure as Compound I.
  • The characteristic XRPD spectrum (CuKα) of Form D is shown in FIG. 15. The XRPD diffraction pattern confirmed that Form D was crystalline. The major diffraction peaks expressed in °2θ and their relative intensities are summarized in Table 4.

  • This above set of XRPD peak positions or a subset thereof can be used to identify Form D of Compound I. Particularly useful for identifying Form D are the subsets of peaks that comprise a peak located at about 24.33 °2θ and four other peaks selected from the group consisting of peaks at about 12.19, 14.04, 16.71, 17.75, 18.86, 19.96, 22.08, 22.88, 23.27, 25.02, 25.49, 26.03, and 27.99 °2θ. More particularly useful are the subsets of peaks that comprise a peak located at about 24.33 °2θ and four other peaks selected from the group consisting of peaks at about 12.19, 16.71, 22.08, 22.88, and 23.27 °2θ. Other subsets of peaks that are useful for identifying Form D are those comprising the peaks at about 12.19, 22.88 and 24.33 °2θ, ±0.2 °2θ.
  • Form D was formed when the Amorphous Form was vapor stressed (Example 22). TGA analysis (FIG. 16) showed that Form D exhibited an approximately 8% weight loss on equilibration, followed by a 21.9% weight loss from 25° C. to 85° C. The approximately 30% total weight loss was consistent with approximately 11 moles of water.
  • Further, TG-IR analysis (FIGS. 17 and 18) confirms that the weight loss from 20° C. to 100° C. was due to volatilization of water.
  • DSC analysis of Form D (FIG. 19) showed multiple, broad endotherms with an apparent peak maximum at 88° C., followed by endotherms at approximately 107° C. and 192° C. The data suggested that the solid desolvated/dehydrated, melted and possibly converted to Form A with the subsequent melting of Form A upon continued heating.
  • Hot stage analysis showed the final melting of the solid at 192° C. (micrograph not included) which further substantiated that Form D converted to Form A which has a melting temperature of about 192° C.
  • In summary, the characterization data indicated that Form D was a crystalline, hydrated solid.
  • 5. Form E
  • Form E was precipitated by the evaporation of a H2O/ACN solvent/antisolvent solution of Compound I (Example 7). The precipitates were characterized by solution 1H NMR, XRPD, TGA, DSC, TG-IR, hot stage microscopy, and moisture sorption/desorption analysis.
  • Solution 1H NMR data (spectrum not included) showed that Form E possessed the same chemical structure as Compound I.
  • The characteristic XRPD spectrum (CuKα, λ=1.5418 Å) of Form E is shown in FIG. 20. The XRPD diffraction pattern confirmed that Form E was crystalline. The major diffraction peaks expressed in °2θ, and their relative intensities are summarized in Table 5 below.

Such subsets of peaks may comprise any five peaks selecting from the group consisting of peaks at about 11.90, 12.66, 13.10, 13.59, 13.94, 17.15, 17.54, 21.27, 22.03, 22.61, 24.06, 24.70, 26.31, 27.34, and 31.10 °2θ. Other subsets of peaks that may be used to identify Form E include two peaks at about 21.27 and 17.15 °2θ, and three other peaks selected from the group consisting of peaks at about 11.90, 12.66, 13.10, 13.59, 13.94, 17.54, 22.03, 22.61, 24.06, 24.70, 26.31, 27.34, and 31.10 °2θ. Another subset of peaks that may be used for identifying Form E comprises peaks located at about 13.10, 13.94, 17.15, 21.27, 26.31 and 27.34 °2θ.
  • TGA analysis (FIG. 21) showed that Form E exhibited a 2.6% weight loss upon heating from 25° C. to 85° C.
  • DSC analysis (FIG. 22) showed two small endotherms at 59° C. and 75° C. (dehydration), a forked endotherm with peaks at 107° C., 110° C., and 114° C., followed by a single endotherm at 192° C.
  • Hot stage analysis of Form E (micrographs not included) showed changes in birefringence at 59° C. and 81° C., which was consistent with dehydration of the solid. Hot stage microscopy further showed that the approximate end of melt occurred at about 185° C.
  • Moisture sorption/desorption data (FIG. 23 and Example 24) showed that Form E under dehydrating conditions convert to Form A. A 1.3% weight loss was observed on equilibration to 5% relative humidity. The sample gained approximately 5% weight on sorption from a 5-95% relative humidity change. A loss of approximately 6% weight was observed on desorption to 5% relative humidity. XRPD analysis on the post moisture sorption/desorption sample showed a mixture of Form A and Form E.
  • In summary, the characterization data indicated that Form E was a crystalline, hydrated solid.
  • 6. Form F
  • Form F was prepared as a mixture with Form A (Form A+F) by precipitation from a THF:water (9:1) solution of Compound I under slow cooling crystallization conditions (Example 8). Precipitates of Form A+F was characterized by XRPD.
  • The characteristic XRPD spectrum (CuKα, λ=1.5418 Å) of Form A+F is shown in FIG. 24. The XRPD pattern confirmed that the material was crystalline. The major diffraction peaks expressed in °2θ and their relative intensities are summarized in Table 6.

  • The unique set of XRPD peaks above or a subset thereof can be used to identify Form A+E+G of Compound I. A subset of peaks that is characteristic of Form G was obtained by subtracting the XRPD peaks of Form A and Form E from the XRPD spectrum of Form A+E+G; this subset comprised peaks positioned at about 13.22, 14.23, 18.62, 19.77, 24.36, 25.06, and 30.71 °2θ. This subset of characteristic peaks of Form G may be used for identifying the presence of Form G.
  • 8. Amorphous Form
  • The Amorphous Form of Compound I was prepared by lyophilization of an aqueous solution of Compound I (Example 10). The residue material was characterized by XRPD and the resulting XRPD spectrum displayed in FIG. 26. The XRPD spectrum shows a broad halo with no specific peaks present, which confirms that the material is amorphous. The material was further characterized by TGA, DSC, hot stage microscopy, and moisture sorption analysis.
  • TGA analysis (FIG. 27) showed a 1.8% weight loss from 25° C. to 95° C., which was likely due to loss of residual solvent.
  • DSC analysis (FIG. 28) showed a slightly concave baseline up to an exotherm at 130° C. (recrystallization), followed by an endotherm at 194° C., which results from the melting of Form A. Hot stage microscopy confirmed these recrystallization and melting events (micrographs not included). An approximate glass transition was observed (FIG. 29) at an onset temperature of 82° C.
  • Moisture sorption/desorption data (FIG. 30 and Example 25) showed a 1.0% weight loss on equilibration at 5% relative humidity. Approximately 8% of weight was gained up to 65% relative humidity. Approximately 7% of weight was lost at 75% relative humidity. This is likely due to the recrystallization of the amorphous material to a crystalline solid. A 4.4% weight gain was observed on sorption from 75% to 95% relative humidity. Approximately 4.7% weight was lost on desorption from 95% to 5% relative humidity. The solid material remaining after the moisture sorption analysis was determined to be Form A by XRPD (FIG. 31).
  • Stressing Amorphous Form in acetone or ethanol vapors resulted in Form A (Example 22). Stressing Amorphous Form at 58% and 88% relative humidity resulted in Form A (FIG. 19). Stressing Amorphous Form in water vapor resulted in a mixture of Forms A and D (Example 22).
    • Indications for Use of Compound I
  • The present invention also relates to methods to alter, preferably to reduce DPP-IV activity within a subject by administrating Compound I in a form selected from the group consisting of Form A, Form B, Form C, Form D, Form E, Form F, Form G, Amorphous Form, and combinations thereof.
  • DPP-IV is believed to contribute to the pathology and/or symptomology of several different diseases such that reduction of the activity of DPP-IV in a subject through inhibition may be used to therapeutically address these disease states. Examples of various diseases that may be treated using Compound I of the present invention are described herein. It is noted that additional diseases beyond those disclosed herein may be later identified as the biological roles that DPP-IV plays in various pathways becomes more fully understood.
  • Compound I may be used to treat or prevent diabetes and obesity related conditions. DPP-IV has been shown to be the primary degrading enzyme of GLP-1 (7-36), in vivo. GLP-1 (7-36) has multiple actions in vivo including the stimulation of insulin secretion, inhibition of glucagon secretion, the promotion of satiety, and the slowing of gastric emptying. The actions of GLP-1 (7-36) are believed to be beneficial in the prevention and treatment of type II diabetes and potentially obesity. DPP-IV degrades GLP-1 (7-36) efficiently to GLP-1 (9-36), which has been speculated to act as a physiological antagonist to GLP-1 (7-36). Inhibiting DPP-IV in vivo is therefore believed to be useful for potentiating endogenous levels of GLP-1 (7-36) and attenuating the formation of its antagonist GLP-1 (9-36). Thus, Compound I are believed to be useful in preventing, delaying the progression, and/or treating diabetes and more particularly, type 2 diabetes mellitus, diabetic dislipidemia, conditions of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), conditions of impaired fasting plasma glucose (IFG), metabolic acidosis, ketosis, appetite regulation and obesity.
  • Compound I may be used as immuno-suppressants (or cytokine release suppressant drugs). DPP-IV expression is increased in T-cells upon mitogenic or antigenic stimulation (Mattem, T., et al., Scand. J. Immunol., 1991, 33, 737). It has been reported that inhibitors of DPP-IV and antibodies to DPP-IV suppress the proliferation of mitogen-stimulated and antigen-stimulated T-cells in a dose-dependant manner (Schon, E., et al., Biol. Chem., 1991, 372, 305). Various other functions of T-lymphocytes such as cytokine production, IL-2 mediated cell proliferation and B-cell helper activity have been shown to be dependent on DPP-IV activity (Schon, E., et al., Scand. J. Immunol., 1989, 29, 127). DPP-IV inhibitors, based on boroProline, (Flentke, G. R., et al., Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA, 1991, 88, 1556) although unstable, were effective at inhibiting antigen-induced lymphocyte proliferation and IL-2 production in murine CD4+ T-helper cells. Such boronic acid inhibitors have been shown to have an effect in vivo in mice causing suppression of antibody production induced by immune challenge (Kubota, T. et al., Clin. Exp. Immun., 1992, 89, 192). The role of DPP-IV in regulating T lymphocyte activation may also be attributed, in part, to its cell-surface association with the transmembrane phosphatase, CD45. DPP-IV inhibitors or non-active site ligands may possibly disrupt the CD45-DPP-IV association. CD45 is known to be an integral component of the T-cell signaling apparatus. It has been reported that DPP-IV is essential for the penetration and infectivity of HIV-1 and HIV-2 viruses in CD4+ T-cells (Wakselman, M., Nguyen, C., Mazaleyrat, J.-P., Callebaut, C., Krust, B., Hovanessian, A. G., Inhibition of HIV-1 infection of CD26+ but not CD26− cells by a potent cyclopeptidic inhibitor of the DPP-IV activity of CD26, Abstract P.44 of the 24th European Peptide Symposium 1996). Additionally, DPP-IV has been shown to associate with the enzyme adenosine deaminase (ADA) on the surface of T-cells (Kameoka, J., et al., Science, 193, 26 466). ADA deficiency causes severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID) in humans. This ADA-CD26 interaction may provide clues to the pathophysiology of SCID. It follows that inhibitors of DPP-IV may be useful immunosuppressants (or cytokine release suppressant drugs) for the treatment of, among other things, organ transplant rejection; autoimmune diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis; and the treatment of AIDS.
  • Compound I may be used for treating various cancers. It has been shown that lung endothelial cell DPP-IV is an adhesion molecule for lung-metastatic rat breast and prostate carcinoma cells (Johnson, R. C., et al., J. Cell. Biol., 1993, 121, 1423). DPP-IV is known to bind to fibronectin and some metastatic tumor cells are known to carry large amounts of fibronectin on their surface. Potent DPP-IV inhibitors may be useful as drugs to prevent metastases of, for example, breast and prostrate tumors to the lungs.
  • Compound I may be useful as agents to treat dermatological diseases such as psoriasis and lichen planus. High levels of DPP-IV expression have also been found in human skin fibroblast cells from patients with psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and lichen planus (Raynaud, F., et al., J. Cell. Physiol., 1992, 151, 378). Therefore, DPP-IV inhibitors may be useful as agents to treat these conditions.
  • Compound I may be useful as a male contraceptive agent, and for treating female infertility and amenorrhea. High DPP-IV activity has been found in tissue homogenates from patients with benign prostate hypertrophy and in prostatosomes. These are prostate derived organelles important for the enhancement of sperm forward motility (Vanhoof, G., et al., Eur. J. Clin. Chem. Clin. Biochem., 1992, 30, 333). DPP-IV inhibitors may also act to suppress sperm motility and therefore act as a male contraceptive agent. Conversely, DPP-IV inhibitors have been implicated as novel for treatment of infertility, and particularly human female infertility due to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS, Stein-Leventhal syndrome) which is a condition characterized by thickening of the ovarian capsule and formation of multiple follicular cysts. It results in infertility and amenorrhea.
  • Compound I may be used to modulate cleavage of various cytokines (stimulating hematopoietic cells), growth factors and neuropeptides. It was discovered that inhibitors of DPP-IV are useful for stimulating the growth and differentiation of hematopoietic cells in the absence of exogenously added cytokines or other growth factors or stromal cells. Stimulated hematopoietic cells are useful for the treatment of disorders that are characterized by a reduced number of hematopoietic cells or their precursors in vivo. Such conditions occur frequently in patients who are immunosuppressed, for example, as a consequence of chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy for cancer.
  • Compound I may be useful in the treatment of short stature due to growth hormone deficiency (Dwarfism). DPP-IV in human plasma has been shown to cleave N-terminal Tyr-Ala from growth hormone-releasing factor and cause inactivation of the hormone. Accordingly, inhibiting DPP-IV will modulate its effect and may promote GH-dependent tissue growth or re-growth.
  • Compound I may be useful for the regulation or normalization of neurological disorders. DPP-IV can cleave neuropeptides and has been shown to modulate the activity of neuroactive peptides substance P, neuropeptide Y and CLIP (Mentlein, R., Dahms, P., Grandt, D., Kruger, R., Proteolytic processing of neuropeptide Y and peptide YY by DPP-IV, Regul. Pept., 49, 133, 1993; Wetzel, W., Wagner, T., Vogel, D., Demuth, H.-U., Balschun, D., Effects of the CLIP fragment ACTH 20-24 on the duration of REM sleep episodes, Neuropeptides, 31, 41, 1997). Thus, inhibiting DPP-IV would lessen its damaging effect on the neuropeptides.
  • Compositions, according to the present invention, may be administered, or coadministered with other active agents. These additional active agents may include, for example, one or more other pharmaceutically active agents. Coadministration in the context of this invention is intended to mean the administration of more than one therapeutic agent, one of which includes Compound I. Such co-administration may also be coextensive, that is, occurring during overlapping periods of time or may be sequential, that is, occurring during non-overlapping periods of time. Examples of co-administration of Compound I with other active ingredients in a combination therapy are described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/531,671, filed Sep. 13, 2006, the disclosure of which is expressly incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

Methods of preparing such dosage forms are known in the art, and will be apparent to those skilled in this art; for example, see Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 19th Ed. (Easton, Pa.: Mack Publishing Company, 1995).
  • Unit-dose forms, as used herein, refers to physically discrete units suitable for human and animal subjects and packaged individually as is known in the art. Each unit-dose contains a predetermined quantity of Compound I sufficient to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with a pharmaceutical carrier, vehicle or diluent. Examples of unit-dose forms include ampoules and syringes, and individually packaged tablets or capsules. Unit-dose forms may be administered in fractions or multiples thereof. A multiple-dose form is a plurality of identical unit-dosage forms packaged in a single container to be administered in segregated unit-dose form. Examples of multiple-dose forms include vials, bottles of tablets or capsules, or bottles of pints or gallons. Hence, multiple dose form may be viewed as a multiple of unit-doses that are not segregated in packaging.
  • In general, the total amount of Compound I in a pharmaceutical composition according to the present invention should be sufficient to a desired therapeutic effect.

  • B. Injectables, Solutions and Emulsions
  • Compound I present in a form or a mixture of forms selected from the group consisting of Form A, Form B, Form C, Form D, Form E, Form F, Form G, and Amorphous Form may be formulated for parenteral administration. Parenteral administration generally characterized by injection, either subcutaneously, intramuscularly or intravenously. Implantation of a slow-release or sustained-release system, such that a constant level of dosage is maintained (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 3,710,795) is also contemplated herein. The percentage of active compound contained in such parenteral compositions is highly dependent on the route of administration and the indication of disease to be treated.
  • Injectables may be prepared in any conventional form. These formulations include, but are not limited to, sterile solutions, suspensions, microsuspensions, and emulsions ready for injection, and solid forms, e.g., lyophilized or other powders including hypodermic tablets, ready to be combined with a carrier just prior to use. Generally, the resulting formulation may be a solution, microsuspension, suspension and emulsion. The carrier may be an aqueous, non-aqueous liquid, or a solid vehicle that can be suspended in liquid.
  • Examples of carriers that may be used in conjunction with injectables according to the present invention include, but are not limited to water, saline, dextrose, glycerol or ethanol. The injectable compositions may also optionally comprise minor amounts of non-toxic auxiliary substances such as wetting or emulsifying agents, pH buffering agents, stabilizers, solubility enhancers, and other such agents, such as for example, sodium acetate, sorbitan monolaurate, triethanolamine oleate and cyclodextrins.
  • When administered intravenously, examples of suitable carriers include, but are not limited to physiological saline or phosphate buffered saline (PBS), and solutions containing thickening and solubilizing agents, such as glucose, polyethylene glycol, and polypropylene glycol and mixtures thereof.
  • Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable carriers that may optionally be used in parenteral preparations include, but are not limited to aqueous vehicles, nonaqueous vehicles, antimicrobial agents, isotonic agents, buffers, antioxidants, local anesthetics, suspending and dispersing agents, emulsifying agents, sequestering or chelating agents and other pharmaceutically acceptable substances.
  • Examples of aqueous vehicles that may optionally be used include Sodium Chloride Injection, Ringers Injection, Isotonic Dextrose Injection, Sterile Water Injection, Dextrose and Lactated Ringers Injection.
  • Examples of nonaqueous parenteral vehicles that may optionally be used include fixed oils of vegetable origin, cottonseed oil, corn oil, sesame oil and peanut oil.
  • Antimicrobial agents in bacteriostatic or fungistatic concentrations may be added to parenteral preparations, particularly when the preparations are packaged in multiple-dose containers and thus designed to be stored and multiple aliquots to be removed. Examples of antimicrobial agents that may used include phenols or cresols, mercurials, benzyl alcohol, chlorobutanol, methyl and propyl p-hydroxybenzoic acid esters, thimerosal, benzalkonium chloride and benzethonium chloride.
  • Examples of isotonic agents that may be used include sodium chloride and dextrose. Examples of buffers that may be used include phosphate and citrate. Examples of antioxidants that may be used include sodium bisulfate. Examples of local anesthetics that may be used include procaine hydrochloride. Examples of suspending and dispersing agents that may be used include sodium carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and polyvinylpyrrolidone. Examples of emulsifying agents that may be used include Polysorbate 80 (TWEEN 80). A sequestering or chelating agent of metal ions includes EDTA.
  • Pharmaceutical carriers may also optionally include ethyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol for water miscible vehicles and sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid, citric acid or lactic acid for pH adjustment.
  • The concentration of Compound I in the parenteral formulation may be adjusted so that an injection administers a pharmaceutically effective amount sufficient to produce the desired pharmacological effect. The exact concentration of Compound I and/or dosage to be used will ultimately depend on the age, weight and condition of the patient or animal as is known in the art.
  • Unit-dose parenteral preparations may be packaged in an ampoule, a vial or a syringe with a needle. All preparations for parenteral administration should be sterile, as is known and practiced in the art.
  • Injectables may be designed for local and systemic administration. Typically a therapeutically effective dosage is formulated to contain a concentration of at least about 0.1% w/w up to about 90% w/w or more, preferably more than 1% w/w of Compound I to the treated tissue(s). Compound I may be administered at once, or may be divided into a number of smaller doses to be administered at intervals of time. It is understood that the precise dosage and duration of treatment will be a function of the location of where the composition is parenterally administered, the carrier and other variables that may be determined empirically using known testing protocols or by extrapolation from in vivo or in vitro test data. It is to be noted that concentrations and dosage values may also vary with the age of the individual treated. It is to be further understood that for any particular subject, specific dosage regimens may need to be adjusted over time according to the individual need and the professional judgment of the person administering or supervising the administration of the formulations. Hence, the concentration ranges set forth herein are intended to be exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope or practice of the claimed formulations.
  • Compound I may optionally be suspended in micronized or other suitable form or may be derivatized to produce a more soluble active product or to produce a prodrug. The form of the resulting mixture depends upon a number of factors, including the intended mode of administration and the solubility of the compound in the selected carrier or vehicle. The effective concentration is sufficient for ameliorating the symptoms of the disease state and may be empirically determined.
  • C. Powders
  • Compound I in a form or a mixture of forms selected from the group consisting of Form A, Form B, Form C, Form D, Form E, Form F, Form G, and Amorphous Form may be prepared as powders, which can be reconstituted for administration as solutions, emulsions and other mixtures. The powders may also be formulated as solids or gels.
  • Powders of Compound I may be prepared by grinding, spray drying, lyophilzation and other techniques that are well known in the art. Sterile, lyophilized powder may be prepared by dissolving Compound I in a sodium phosphate buffer solution containing dextrose or other suitable excipient. Subsequent sterile filtration of the solution followed by lyophilization under standard conditions known to those of skill in the art provides the desired formulation. Briefly, the lyophilized powder may optionally be prepared by dissolving dextrose, sorbitol, fructose, corn syrup, xylitol, glycerin, glucose, sucrose or other suitable agent, about 1-20%, preferably about 5 to 15%, in a suitable buffer, such as citrate, sodium or potassium phosphate or other such buffer known to those of skill in the art at, typically, about neutral pH. Then, Compound I is added to the resulting mixture, preferably above room temperature, more preferably at about 30-35° C., and stirred until it dissolves. The resulting mixture is diluted by adding more buffer to a desired concentration. The resulting mixture is sterile filtered or treated to remove particulates and to insure sterility, and apportioned into vials for lyophilization. Each vial may contain a single dosage or multiple dosages of Compound I.
  • D. Topical Administration
  • Compound I present in a form selected from the group consisting of Form A, Form B, Form C, Form D, Form E, Form F, Form G, and Amorphous Form may also be administered as topical mixtures. Topical mixtures may be used for local and systemic administration. The resulting mixture may be a solution, suspension, microsuspension, emulsions or the like and are formulated as creams, gels, ointments, emulsions, solutions, elixirs, lotions, suspensions, tinctures, pastes, foams, aerosols, irrigations, sprays, suppositories, bandages, dermal patches or any other formulations suitable for topical administration.
  • Compound I may be formulated for topical applications to the respiratory tract. These pulmonary formulations can be in the form of an aerosol, solution, emulsion, suspension, microsuspension for a nebulizer, or as a microfine powder for insufflation, alone or in combination with an inert carrier such as lactose. In such a case, the particles of the formulation will typically have diameters of less than 50 microns, preferably less than 10 microns. Examples of aerosols for topical application, such as by inhalation are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,044,126, 4,414,209, and 4,364,923, which describe aerosols for delivery of a steroid useful for treatment inflammatory diseases, particularly asthma.
  • Compound I may also be formulated for local or topical application, such as for topical application to the skin and mucous membranes, such as in the eye, in the form of gels, creams, and lotions and for application to the eye or for intracisternal or intraspinal application. Topical administration is contemplated for transdermal delivery and also for administration to the eyes or mucosa, or for inhalation therapies. Nasal solutions or suspensions of Compound I alone or in combination with other pharmaceutically acceptable excipients can also be administered.
  • E. Formulations for Other Routes of Administration
  • Depending upon the disease state being treated, Compound I present in one form or a mixture of forms selected from the group consisting of Form A, Form B, Form C, Form D, Form E, Form F, Form G, and Amorphous Form may be formulated for other routes of administration, such as topical application, transdermal patches, and rectal administration, may also be used. For example, pharmaceutical dosage forms for rectal administration are rectal suppositories, capsules and tablets for systemic effect. Rectal suppositories are used herein mean solid bodies for insertion into the rectum that melt or soften at body temperature releasing one or more pharmacologically or therapeutically active ingredients. Pharmaceutically acceptable substances utilized in rectal suppositories are bases or vehicles and agents to raise the melting point. Examples of bases include cocoa butter (theobroma oil), glycerin-gelatin, carbowax, (polyoxyethylene glycol) and appropriate mixtures of mono-, di- and triglycerides of fatty acids. Combinations of the various bases may be used. Agents to raise the melting point of suppositories include spermaceti and wax. Rectal suppositories may be prepared either by the compressed method or by molding. The typical weight of a rectal suppository is about 2 to 3 gm. Tablets and capsules for rectal administration may be manufactured using the same pharmaceutically acceptable substance and by the same methods as for formulations for oral administration.
    • Kits and Articles of Manufacture Comprising Compound I Polymorphs
  • The present invention is also directed to kits and other articles of manufacture for treating diseases associated with dipeptidyl peptidases. It is noted that diseases are intended to cover all conditions for which the dipeptidyl peptidases possesses activity that contributes to the pathology and/or symptomology of the condition.
  • In one embodiment, a kit is provided that comprises a pharmaceutical composition comprising Compound I where greater than 0.1%, 1%, 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 97% or 99% of Compound I (by weight) is present in a form selected from the group consisting of Form A, Form B, Form C, Form D, Form E, Form F, Form G, and Amorphous Form; and instructions for use of the kit. Optionally, the composition comprises at least 0.1%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 1%, 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 97%, or 99% of Compound I. The instructions may indicate the disease state for which the composition is to be administered, storage information, dosing information and/or instructions regarding how to administer the composition. The kit may also comprise packaging materials. The packaging material may comprise a container for housing the composition. The kit may also optionally comprise additional components, such as syringes for administration of the composition. The kit may comprise the composition in single or multiple dose forms.
  • In another embodiment, an article of manufacture is provided that comprises a pharmaceutical composition comprising Compound I where greater than 0.1%, 1%, 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 97% or 99% of Compound I (by weight) is present in the composition in a form selected from the group consisting of Form A, Form B, Form C, Form D, Form E, Form F, Form G, and Amorphous Form; and packaging materials. Optionally, the composition comprises at least 0.1%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 1%, 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 97%, or 99% of Compound I. The packaging material may comprise a container for housing the composition. The container may optionally comprise a label indicating the disease state for which the composition is to be administered, storage information, dosing information and/or instructions regarding how to administer the composition. The kit may also optionally comprise additional components, such as syringes for administration of the composition. The kit may comprise the composition in single or multiple dose forms.
  • It is noted that the packaging material used in kits and articles of manufacture according to the present invention may form a plurality of divided containers such as a divided bottle or a divided foil packet. The container can be in any conventional shape or form as known in the art which is made of a pharmaceutically acceptable material, for example a paper or cardboard box, a glass or plastic bottle or jar, a re-sealable bag (for example, to hold a “refill” of tablets for placement into a different container), or a blister pack with individual doses for pressing out of the pack according to a therapeutic schedule. The container that is employed will depend on the exact dosage form involved, for example a conventional cardboard box would not generally be used to hold a liquid suspension. It is feasible that more than one container can be used together in a single package to market a single dosage form. For example, tablets may be contained in a bottle that is in turn contained within a box. Typically the kit includes directions for the administration of the separate components. The kit form is particularly advantageous when the separate components are preferably administered in different dosage forms (e.g., oral, topical, transdermal and parenteral), are administered at different dosage intervals, or when titration of the individual components of the combination is desired by the prescribing physician.
  • One particular example of a kit according to the present invention is a so-called blister pack. Blister packs are well known in the packaging industry and are being widely used for the packaging of pharmaceutical unit dosage forms (tablets, capsules, and the like). Blister packs generally consist of a sheet of relatively stiff material covered with a foil of a preferably transparent plastic material. During the packaging process recesses are formed in the plastic foil. The recesses have the size and shape of individual tablets or capsules to be packed or may have the size and shape to accommodate multiple tablets and/or capsules to be packed. Next, the tablets or capsules are placed in the recesses accordingly and the sheet of relatively stiff material is sealed against the plastic foil at the face of the foil which is opposite from the direction in which the recesses were formed. As a result, the tablets or capsules are individually sealed or collectively sealed, as desired, in the recesses between the plastic foil and the sheet. Preferably the strength of the sheet is such that the tablets or capsules can be removed from the blister pack by manually applying pressure on the recesses whereby an opening is formed in the sheet at the place of the recess. The tablet or capsule can then be removed via said opening.
  • Another specific embodiment of a kit is a dispenser designed to dispense the daily doses one at a time in the order of their intended use. Preferably, the dispenser is equipped with a memory-aid, so as to further facilitate compliance with the regimen. An example of such a memory-aid is a mechanical counter that indicates the number of daily doses that has been dispensed. Another example of such a memory-aid is a battery-powered micro-chip memory coupled with a liquid crystal readout, or audible reminder signal which, for example, reads out the date that the last daily dose has been taken and/or reminds one when the next dose is to be taken.

    • Example 2 Approximate Solubility of Compound I in Different Solvents
  • Compound I prepared by the method described in Example 1 was used for the solubility study. Solvents and other reagents were of ACS or HPLC grade and were used as received.
  • A weighed sample (typically about 20-25 mg) of Compound I was treated at ambient temperature with aliquots (typically ≧50 μL) of the test solvent with sonication between additions. Solvents were either reagent or HPLC grade. Solubility was estimated from the total volume of solvent used to obtain a clear solution, as determined by visual inspection. Solubility is expressed as “less than” when dissolution was not observed. If dissolution occurred after the last aliquot was added then solubility is expressed as “greater than or equal to” (≧). The actual solubilities may be greater than determined, due to over addition of solvent (large aliquots) or slow dissolution rates. Approximate solubilities of Compound I are summarized in Table A. The solubility values have been rounded to the nearest whole number and are reported to the nearest mg/mL.
