FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to toluenesulfonic acid addition salt crystals of specific substituted heterocycle fused gamma-carbolines, the method of making and using such crystals.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Substituted heterocycle fused gamma-carbolines and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are represented by the core structure shown in Formula 1 J:
These compounds are disclosed in
WO 2000/77010;
WO 2000/77002; WO 2000/77001; U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,713,471; 6,552,017; 7,081,455; 6,548,493, 7,071,186; Reissue U.S. Pat. Nos. 39,680; 39,679; and U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/906,473, the contents of each of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety. These compounds have been found to be useful as 5-HT
2 receptor agonists and antagonists used in treating disorders of the central nervous system including a disorder associated with 5HT2C or 5HT2A receptor modulation selected from obesity, anorexia, bulimia, depression, a anxiety, psychosis, schizophrenia, migraine, obsessive-compulsive disorder, sexual disorders, depression, schizophrenia, migraine, attention deficit disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, sleep disorders, conditions associated with cephalic pain, social phobias, gastrointestinal disorders such as dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract motility.
As a free base, substituted heterocycle fused gamma-carbolines exist in liquid form and are susceptible to N-oxidation and/or degradation. Such unstable characteristics could render these compounds undesirable as pharmaceutical products. The prior art discloses a large number of substituted heterocycle fused gamma-carboline derivatives in free base form as well as a large number of pharmaceutically acceptable salts, including hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, sulfamic, phosphoric, nitric and the like; and the salts prepared from organic acids such as acetic, propionic, succinic, glycolic, stearic, lactic, malic, tartaric, citric, ascorbic, pamoic, maleic, hydroxymaleic, phenylacetic, glutamic, benzoic, salicylic, sulfanilic, 2-acetoxybenzoic, fumaric, toluenesulfonic, methanesulfonic, ethane disulfonic, oxalic, isethionic, and the like. Of the large numbers of possible pharmaceutically acceptable salt compounds disclosed in the prior art, none were shown to have particular stability or desired properties. Because many pharmaceutical compounds can exist in different physical forms (e.g., liquid or solid in different crystalline, amorphous, polymorphous, hydrate or solvate forms) which can vary the stability, solubility, bioavailability or pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion or the like) and/or bioequivalency of a drug, it is of critical importance in pharmaceutical development to identify a pharmaceutical compound of optimal physical form (e.g., free base or salt in solid, liquid, crystalline, hydrate, solvate, amorphous or polymorphous forms).

The Solid Salt of the Present Invention may be obtained by methods generally known in the art and provided in U.S. Pat. No. WO 2000/77010; WO 2000/77002; WO 200077001; U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,713,471; 6,552,017; 7,081,455, 7,071,186; reissued U.S. Pat. Nos. 39,680; 39,679, e.g., reacting the free base with the toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate in a solvent, e.g., methanol, ethanol, isopropol, ethyl acetate, methylene chloride, toluene, tetrahydrofuran, acetone, acetonitrile, water or the like.
Crystallization methods are also well known in the art. Crystallization of the Salt of the Present Invention may be performed by either reacting the Free Base of the Present Invention with the toluenesulfonic acid, e.g., toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate in a solvent, e.g., C1-4alcohol (e.g., methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol), acetone, ethyl acetate, n-propyl acetate, acetonitrile and tetrahydrofuran and optionally cooling said solution down, e.g., to 0°-25° C.
Alternative to starting with the free base, crystallization of the Salts of the present invention may be carried out by first dissolving the salt, e.g., the Salts or Salt Crystals of the Current Invention, e.g., any of formulae 1.1-1.29, in a single solvent, e.g., C1-4alcohol (e.g., methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol), acetone, ethyl acetate, n-propyl acetate, acetonitrile and tetrahydrofuran, preferably, optionally at an elevated temperature, e.g., greater than 25° C., e.g., at 30°-75° C., preferably in a minimum amount of solvent (i.e., saturate the solution). Crystallization may then be induced by a number of ways, e.g., in a single solvent system by (a) allowing the solvent to evaporate slowly until crystals are formed; (b) slowing down the rate of stirring or stopping agitation completely; (c) cooling the solution down, e.g., to less than 25° C., e.g., to −10°-20° C.; (d) adding crystal seeds, e.g., preferably, but not necessarily, the crystal of the compound which is being crystallized; or any combinations thereof; or in a multi-solvent system by adding an antisolvent(s), preferably a solvent having different polarity from the dissolution or the main solvent, e.g., water, heptane, hexane, butanone, or toluene or mixtures thereof to a solution of the compound in a methanol, ethanol or tetrahydrofuran solvent system.

EXAMPLE 1
Preparation of the Salt Crystals Form A
Dissolve the stating material, 4-((6bR,10aS)-3-methyl-2,3,6b,9,10,10a-hexahydro-1H-pyrido[3′,4′: 4,5]pyrrolo[1,2,3-de]quinoxalin-8(7H)-yl)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-butanone (free base) (178.4 g, 0.453 mol, 1 eq) in 2-Propanol (624.4 mL, 3.5 mL mLtg). Add charcoal (10 g) and stir the resulting mixture for 10-20 minutes at room temperature. After this time, remove charcoal by filtration. Wash the filter cake with 2-Propanol (89.2 mL, 0.5 mL/g SM). Transfer the combined filtrate to a 3 L 3-neck round bottom flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer, nitrogen inlet, drying tube and thermocouple and placed in a cooling tub. Add the p-Toluenesulfonic acid monollydrate (86.24 g, 0.453 mol, 1 equivalent) in one portion (reaction exotherms to 33° C., clear dark brown is observed). Cool this solution to 15-25° C. using cold tap water. Seed the resulting solution or wait until solids start to form (usually takes 30-60 minutes). Thick beige/gray paste forms. Stir the resulting paste for a minimum of 3 hours at 15-25° C. Collect the solids by filtration (filtration and followed washes are quite slow). Wash the solids with 2-Propanol (2×150 mL, room temperature), and then with heptane (room temperature, 2×150 mL). Dry the solids in a vacuum oven at 35° C. to a constant weight. Yield: 214 g, 0.378 mol, 83.4%. HPLC=93.2% purity. Chiral HPLC=de 100%. Melting Point 179°-181° C. The following characterization is performed:
Infrared Spectroscopy:
Two to six milligrams of sample are ground with ca. 200 mg of KBr. The KBr pellet spectrum is obtained on a small sample of this mixture pressed into a suitable pellet using a Wilk's mini-press. The spectrum is defined by 16 scans at 2 cm−1 resolution. The spectrum is disclosed in FIG. 1. Infrared spectra for Salt Crystal Form A (FIG. 1 and FIG. 2) are consistent with the tosylate Salt structure. Selected infrared bands and their attributes are listed

Mass Spectrometry
Positive ion electrospray high-resolution mass spectrometry is carried out on Salt Crystals Form A (dissolved in 1:1 Acetonitrile: Water) with a PE Sciex Q-Star hybrid quadruple/time of flight mass spectrometer. The mass spectrometer is internally calibrated using poly (ethylene gycol) monomethyl ether 350 (PPGMME 350). Two PEGMME 350 signals at m/z 363.1995 and 451.2519 are used to measure a (PEGMME350+Na)+ signal. This gave a value of 407.2261 which compares well with the calculated value of 407.2257. The sample signal is measured in a similar way and gives a value of m/z 394.2299, which is 1.0 ppm from the calculated value of 394.2295 for the protonated molecular ion of the free base. The interpretation of mass spectra (FIG. 3) Salt Crystals Form A conforms with the expected results based on the chemical structure.
NMR Spectroscopy
The 400 MGz 1H (FIG. 4) and 100 MGz 13C (FIG. 5) NMR spectra for Salt Crystals Form A (Salt Crystals Form A, in DMSO-d6; TMS reference) are consistent with the structure of 4-((6bR,10aS)-3-methyl-2,3,6b,9,10,10a-hexahydro-1H-pyrido[3′,4′: 4,5]pyrrolo[1,2,3-de]quinoxalin-8(7H)-yl)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-butanone toluene sulfonic acid salt in all essential detail. Selected proton chemical shifts and coupling constants are listed in Table 2 and carbon chemical shifts are listed in Table 3.
The 1H NMR spectrum (FIG. 4) shows signals due to 36 protons consistent with the proposed structure. The 13C NMR spectrum (FIG. 5) shows 28 signals consistent with the 27 unique carbons in the proposed structure. 1H spectra assignments (in Table 2) and 13C spectral assignments for protonated carbons (in Table 3) are based on chemical shifts, COSY spectroscopy, HMQC spectroscopy and DEPT.
NMR spectra are recorded on a Varian 400 MHz Unity-plus NMR spectrometer equipped with a 5 mm 1H/19F/15N-31P switchable probe. The 1H spectrum is recorded using 60° rf pulses and 16 transients. The 13C NMR spectrum is recorded using WALTZ proton decoupling, 60° rf pulses and 4096 transients.

Specific Rotation
The specific rotation is recorded on a Perkin Elmer model 343 Plus polarimeter operating at the sodium D-Line (589.3 nm) and utilizing a 5-s sample integration time. The sample temperature is maintained at 25° C. with a temperature controlled water-jacketed cell. The sample is prepared by dissolving ca. 475 mg of Salt Crystals Form A with MeOH in a 50-mL volumetric flask.
Ultraviolet-Visible Spectrophotometry
The ultraviolet/visible spectrum for Salt Crystals Form A can be found in
FIG. 6. The spectra represent two different concentrations of Salt Crystals Form A in methanol. Two distinct maxima (227 nm
2 nm and 314 nm
2 nm) are found in the range of 200 nm to 500 nm. The molar extinction coefficient at 227 nm is calculated to be 43513 L*mol-1*cm-1. The molar extinction coefficient at 314 nm is calculated to be 4246 L*mol-1*cm-1. Calculation of Extinction Coefficient based on Salt Crystals Form A with a MW of 565.7. The spectra are recorded on a
Cary 3 UV/Visible spectrophotometer using a 1.0 cm quartz cell. The samples are prepared in duplicate for each maxima wavelength at concentrations of ca. 0.12 mg/mL, 0.06 mg/mL for the maxima at 314 nm and ca. 0.012 mg/mL and 0.006 mg/mL for the maxima at 227 nm to optimize the spectra at each maxima examined. All samples are dissolved in methanol.
Residue on Ignition
Residue on ignition is performed according to USP 29/NF 24 (Supplement 2) 2006, General Chapter <281>. A sample of ca. 1 g is accurately weighed directly into a platinum crucible that has been previously ignited, cooled and weighed. The crucible is heated until the sample is thoroughly charred, then cooled. The residue is then moistened with approximately 1 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid, heated gently until white fumes no longer evolved, then ignited in a muffle furnace at 600±50° C. until all the carbon within the crucible was consumed. The sample is then cooled to room temperature in a desiccator. After cooling, the weight of residue is taken. The moistening with sulfuric acid, heating and igniting as before, using a 30 minute ignition period, is repeated, until two consecutive weighings of the residue does not differ by more than 0.5 mg. Results: Residue on Ignition=0.05%.
Elemental Analysis
The elemental analysis of sample Salt Crystals Form A is found to be consistent with the empirical formula. Samples are analyzed in duplicate and oxygen is determined by difference.

X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD)
The XRPD pattern of Salt Crystals Form A is shown in FIG. 7 along with some of the more prominent 2θ values. Table 4 shows a listing of the more prominent 2θ angles, d-spacings and relative intensities.
XRPD data is collected at ambient temperature on a PANalytical X'Pert θ/θ diffractometer, operating with copper radiation at 45 kV and 40 mA, using an X'Celerator detector. Unmilled sample is placed on a flat stainless steel sample holder and leveled using a glass microscope slide. Incident beam optics consists of ⅛° fixed divergence slit, ¼° fixed anti-scatter slit, 0.04 rad Soller slit and nickel filter to filter out Kα2 radiation. Data is collected at 3° to 43° 2θ. A standard PC with Windows XP® operating system and PANalytical X'Pert Data Collector v 2.1a are used. X'Pert Data Viewer v 1.1a is used to plot the data. The unit is calibrated annually using NBS silicon powder as a standard.

XRPD patterns of FIG. 7B are collected using a PANalytical X'Pert Pro diffractometer. An incident beam of Cu Kα radiation is produced using an Optix long, fine-focus source. An elliptically graded multilayer mirror is used to focus the Cu Kα X-rays of the source through the specimen and onto the detector. Data are collected and analysed using X'Pert Pro Data Collector software (v.2.2b). Prior to the analysis, a silicon specimen (NIST SRM 640c) is analyzed to verify the Si 111 peak position. The specimen is sandwiched between 3 μm thick films, analyzed in transmission geometry, and rotated to optimize orientation statistics. A beam-stop is used to minimize the background generated by air scatting. Anti-scattering extension and He are not used. Soller slits are used for the incident and diffracted beam to minimize axial divergence. Diffraction patterns are collected using a scanning position-sensitive detector (X'Celerator) located 240 mm from the specimen. The data acquisition parameters for each pattern are displayed above the image in the Data section.
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
The DSC scan for Salt Crystals Form A is shown in FIG. 8. The DSC scan shows a single endotherm with an onset temperature of 178.8° C., peak temperature of 180.8° C., and ΔH=63.6 J/g. DSC measurements are made using a Perkin Elmer Pyris 1 DSC system equipped with an intracooler 2P refrigeration unit. The Pyris 1 DSC is purged with nitrogen. Calibration is performed prior to analysis using an Indium standard at a 10° C./min heating rate. Approximately 1.7 mg of sample is weighed on a Sartorius microbalance in a tared Perkin Elmer 30 μL universal aluminum pan with holes in the lid, and sealed using a Perkin Elmer pan crimper press. The sample is heated from room temperature to 300° C. at 10° C./min.
Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA)
The TGA scan for Salt Crystals Form A is shown in FIG. 8. The TGA analysis shows two regions of weight loss with a total weight loss of 0.46% through 200° C. TGA measurements are collected using a Perkin Elmer Pyris 1 TGA system purged with nitrogen. A 100-mg standard weight and Ni metal are used to verify balance and temperature calibrations, respectively. A sample of Salt Crystals Form A is heated from room temperature to 300° C. at 10° C./min.
Melting Point
A melting point determination is performed on an electro thermal capillary melting point apparatus. The sample is heated from a temperature of 160° C. at a ramp rate of 2° C./min. Capillary melting point data exhibit no true melting point as the material decomposes over the region of 176.8 through 181.0° C. Thus the endotherm does not represent melting.

EXAMPLE 4
Preparation of the Solid Salt or Salt Crystals of the Present Invention
Dissolve the starting material, 66-H-113 Peak 1 (5.28 g, 0.01342 mol, 1 eq) in Ethanol (200 proof, 35 mL). After this time, remove the charcoal by filtration. Wash the filter cake with 1 Ethanol (2×15 mL). Charge the solution of starting material in ethanol (from the previous step) to a 500 in L 3-neck round bottom flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer, nitrogen inlet, drying tube and thermocouple. The flask is placed in a cooling tub. Add p-Toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (4.51 g, 0.02368 mol, 1 eq) in one portion at room temperature. Clear dark amber solution forms. Soon solids start to form. Cool the resulting suspension to 0-5° C. stir for 1 hour at this temperature and then dilute with heptane (200 mL). Stir the suspension for a minimum of 13 hours at 0-5′C. After this time remove the solids by filtration (tan). Wash the solids cold with heptane (room temperature, 40 mL). Dry the solids in a vacuum oven at 35° C. to constant weight. Yield: 5.95 g, 0.010617 mol, 78.37%
EXAMPLE 5
Preparation of the Solid Salt or Salt Crystals of the Present Invention
Crude free base is dissolved in EtOH (3000 mL), and is transferred to a 12 L, 3-necked, round-bottomed flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer, a N2 inlet, and a temperature probe. To the stirred solution is then added 178.3 g of pTSA monohydrate (0.94 mol, 1 equiv relative to the crude free base). The batch is stirred at rt for ca. 1 h, and then the internal temperature is reduced to 2 to 4° C. with an ice bath. The batch is stirred at 2 to 4° C. for another 1 h, and the batch becomes a brownish white slurry. To the batch is then added heptane (6000 mL) through an addition funnel slowly in ca. 3 h. The resultant mixture is stirred at 2 to 4° C. for another 1 h, and is stored in a dark cold room for ca. 15 h. The batch is then filtered, and the solid is rinsed with heptane (1000 mL). After drying in a vacuum oven at 35 to 40° C. for 4 h, 345.8 g (61% yield) of a tan to brown solid was obtained. HPLC analysis showed the desired product at 96.9% purity. LC-MS analysis showed a major peak with M/e=394 (M+1). Chiral HPLC analysis showed the desired enantiomer (first eluting peak) with ca. 99.7% e.e. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δ 2.12-2.32 (m, 4H), 2.35 (s, 3H), 2.52-2.70 (m, 2H), 2.80-2.94 (m, 1H), 2.90 (s, 3H), 3.02-3.24 (m, 5H), 3.26-3.42 (m, 4H), 3.50-3.76 (m, 4H), 6.48 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 6.55 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 1H), 6.74 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 7.04-7.14 (m, 2H), 7.18 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 2H), 7.78 (dd, J=6.3 Hz, J′=1.5 Hz, 2H), 7.92-7.98 (m, 2H), 10.60 (bs, 1H).
