FORM V OF AMPRENAVIR (VX-478) AS ANΗVIRAL COMPOUND
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the antiviral compound [3S-[3R*(l R*,2S*)]]-[3-[[(4- aminophenyOsulfonyl] (2-methylpropyl)amino]-2-hydroxy-1 -(phenylmethyl)propyl]- tetrahydro-3-furanyl ester, (also known as 4-amino-N-((2syn, 3S)-2-hydroxy-4- phenyl-3-((S)-tetrahydrofuran-3-yloxycarbonylamino)-butγl)-N-isobutyl- benzenesulfonamide; VX-478; 14lW94; amprenavir; a compound of formula (I)), pharmaceutical formulations thereof and their use in therapy.
Virus-encoded proteases, which are essential for viral replication, are required for the processing of viral protein precursors. Interference with the processing of protein precursors inhibits the formation of infectious virions. Accordingly, inhibitors of viral proteases may be used to prevent or treat chronic and acute viral infections. [3S- [3R*(1 R*,2S*)]]-[3-[[(4-aminophenyl)sulfonyl] (2-methylpropyl)amino]-2-hydroxy-1 - (phenylmethyl)propyl]-tetrahydro-3-furanyl ester has HIV aspartyl protease inhibitory activity and is particularly well suited for inhibiting HIV-1 and HIV-2 viruses.
The structure of [3S-[3R*(1 R*,2S*)]]-[3-[[(4-aminophenyl)sulfonyl] (2- methylpropyl)amino]-2-hydroxy-1-(phenylmethyl)propyl]-tetrahydro-3-furanyl ester, a compound of formula (I), is shown below:
We have now found that the compound of formula (I) can be prepared in a novel crystalline form, Form V, exhibiting particularly good pharmaceutical properties. Form V is particularly stable and essentially non-hygroscopic. Batches of this crystalline form may be made to a high crystal form purity, i.e. where the proportion of other amorphous and crystalline forms of the compound of formula (I) is limited. Furthermore Form V may be readily formulated into pharmaceutical compositions such as tablets, capsules, and liquid systems. Form V may be characterized by its X-ray powder diffraction pattern.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided a novel crystalline form of the compound of formula (I), Form V.
The invention relates to crystalline Form V both in pure form, in mixtures of other crystalline forms of the compound of formula (I), and in admixture with other forms of the compound of formula (I) such as solvated crystalline forms. For example in any batch containing Form V of the compound of formula (I), there may also be other solvated or non-solvated crystalline forms of the compound of formula (I). Unless otherwise specified, a reference to the compound of formula (I) means amorphous compound of formula (I).
In a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided Form V of the compound of formula (I). Form V may be characterized by the X-ray powder diffraction pattern represented in Figures 1 and 2. Intense diffraction peaks characteristic of Form V may occur at the following approximate 2theta angles (using copper K α X-radiation): 10.48, 16.81 , 21.19, 19.77, 20.93, 9.68, 17.98, 19.38 and 12.77. Further details are presented in Table 3. Form V may be characterized by an X-ray powder diffraction pattern that contains at least five of the peaks listed in Table 3. Form V may be
characterized by d-spacing peaks at 13.53, 9.13, 8.44, 6.92, 6.08, 5.70, 5.27, 4.93, 4.58, 4.49, 4.42, 4.24, 4.19, 4.08, 3.91, 3.80, 3.74, 3.48, and 3.1 1 angstroms (rounded to the nearest 0.01 angstrom). A suitable peak diagnostic for Form V in the presence of other crystal forms of the compound of formula (I) is the 13.53 d-spacing peak or a 2theta angle of about 6.53. Form V may be characterized by an X-ray powder diffraction pattern that contains a d-spacing peak at about 13.53. Form V may be characterized by an X-ray powder diffraction pattern that contains a peak at a 2theta angle of about 6.53.
Table 1 provides a list of 2theta angle peaks for a theoretical X-ray powder diffraction pattern calculated using atomic coordinates and unit cell parameters from single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Form V may be characterized by an X-ray powder diffraction pattern which contains at least five of the peaks listed in Table 1.
A theoretical X-ray powder diffraction pattern using atomic coordinates from single crystal diffraction analysis and unit cell parameters from indexing of an experimental powder pattern is represented in Table 2 and Figure 3. Form V may be characterized by an X-ray powder diffraction pattern that contains at least five of the peaks listed in Table 2.
Form V has a melting onset of about 130 °C. Form V is particularly advantageous in that it is thermodynamicaliy stable. Slurried mixtures of other forms of the compound of formula I have been observed to convert completely to Form V within hours to days.
According to a further aspect, the present invention provides a process for the production of the compound of formula (I) in Form V which comprises treating the compound of formula (I) with a solubilising solvent serving to facilitate the conversion of an amount of a compound of formula (I) into said Form V and thereafter isolating said crystalline form or forms.
Accordingly, a further aspect of the invention is a process for the production of the compound of formula (I) in a crystalline form, said process comprising the steps of:
a) forming the compound of formula (I) in solution in free base form;
b) isolating the compound of formula (I) from the solution and optionally removing unbound (damp, non-solvated) solvent leaving the compound of formula (I) in substantially dry form;
c) optionally treating the compound of formula (I) with a solubilising solvent serving to convert an amount of the optionally dried compound of formula (I) from step b) into said crystalline form; and
d) isolating said crystalline form.
The compound of formula (I) may be prepared by any method known in the art, but preferably by the methods described in WO 94/05639 and U.S. Patent No. 5,585,397, incorporated herein by reference hereto.
The synthesis of the compound of formula (I) generally leads to the formation of the compound in solution in the reaction mixture from which it may be separated and purified as a solid product. A number of factors influence the crystalline form of the solid product and in accordance with the present invention the conditions of separation and/or subsequent processing may be adjusted to produce the compound of formula (I) as Form V. Advantageously, purified (for example by double recrystallization) Form I of the compound of formula (I) may be used as starting material or as seeding material for the formation of Form V.
The present invention also provides Form V of the compound of formula (I) for use in medical therapy, for example in the treatment of a viral disease in an animal, for example, a human. The compound is especially useful for the treatment of diseases
caused by retroviruses, such as HIV infections, for example, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and AIDS-related complex (ARC) as well as diseases caused by hepatitis B and hepatitis C.
In addition to its use in human medical therapy, Form V of the compound of formula (I) can be administered to other animals for treatment of viral diseases, for example to other mammals.
The present invention also provides a method for the treatment of a viral infection, particularly an HIV infection, in an animal, for example, a mammal such as a human, which comprises administering to the animal an effective antiviral amount of Form V of the compound of formula (I).
The present invention also provides the use of Form V of the compound of formula (I) in the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of a viral infection.
Form V of the compound of formula (I), also referred to herein as the active ingredient, may be administered by any route appropriate to the condition to be treated, but the preferred route of administration is oral. It will be appreciated however, that the preferred route may vary with, for example, the condition of the recipient.
For each of the above-indicated utilities and indications the amounts required of the active ingredient (as above defined) will depend upon a number of factors including the severity of the condition to be treated and the identity of the recipient and will ultimately be at the discretion of the attendant physician or veterinarian. In general however, for each of these utilities and indications, a suitable effective dose will be in the range of 5 to 100 mg per kilogram body weight of recipient per day, advantageously in the range of 8 to 70 mg per kilogram body weight per day, preferably in the range of 8 to 50 mg per kilogram body weight per day (unless otherwise indicated, all weights of the active ingredient are calculated with respect to
the free base of the compound of formula (I)). The desired dose is preferably presented as one, two, three or four or more subdoses administered at appropriate intervals throughout the day. These sub-doses may be administered in unit dosage forms, for example, containing about 25 to 2000 mg, preferably about 25, 50, 150, 200, or 250 mg of active ingredient per unit dose form.
While it is possible for the active ingredient to be administered alone, it is preferable to present it as a pharmaceutical formulation. The formulation comprises the active ingredient as above defined, together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients therefor and optionally other therapeutic ingredients. The excipient(s) must be "acceptable" in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not deleterious to the recipient thereof.
The formulations include those suitable for oral administration and may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form prepared by any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy. Such methods include the step of bringing into association the active ingredient with the carrier which constitutes one or more accessory ingredients. In general, the formulations are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing in to association the active ingredient with liquid carriers or finely divided solid carriers or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product.
Formulations of the present invention suitable for oral administration by be presented as discrete units such as capsules, cachets, sachets of granules or tablets (such as a swallowable, dispersible or chewable tablet) each containing a predetermined amount of the active ingredient; as a powder or granules; as a solution or a suspension in an aqueous liquid or a non-aqueous liquid; or as an oil-in-water liquid emulsion or a water-in-oil liquid emulsion. The active ingredient may also be presented as a bolus, electuary or paste.
A tablet may be made by compression or moulding optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets may be prepared by compressing in a
suitable machine the active ingredient in a free-flowing form such as a powder or granules, optionally mixed with a binder, lubricant, inert diluent, preservative, surface active or dispersing agent. Moulded tablets may be made by moulding in a suitable machine a mixture of the powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent. The tablets may optionally be coated or scored any may be formulated so as to provide slow or controlled release of the active ingredient therein.
The active ingredient may also be presented in a formulation comprising mierometer- or nanometer-size particles of active ingredient, which formulation may contain other pharmaceutical agents and may optionally be converted to solid form.
A soft gelatin capsule formulation may be made by , for example, heating four (4) kilograms (kg) of Vitamin E TPGS (obtained from Eastman Chemical Co.) at 50°C until liquefied. To the liquified Vitamin E TPGS, 2.005 kg of polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG400) (low aldehyde, <10 ppm, obtained from Union Carbide or Dow Chemical Co.) heated to 50° C may be added and mixed until a homogeneous solution is formed. The resultant solution may be heated to 65° C. 1.5 kg of the compound of formula (I) Form V may be dissolved in the liquefied solution of Vitamin E TPGS and PEG 400. 0.395 kg of propylene glycol at room temperature may be added and mixed until a homogenous solution is formed. The solution may be cooled to 28-35° C. The solution may then de-gassed. The mixture is advantageously encapsulated at 28-35° C at a fill weight equivalent to 150 mg of volatiles-free compound, into Size 12 oblong, white opaque soft gelatin capsules using a capsule filling machine. The capsule shells may be dried to a constant fill moisture of 3-6% water and a shell hardness of 7-10 newtons, and placed in a suitable container.
Preferred unit dosage formulations are those containing a daily dose or unit daily sub- dose (as herein above recited) or an appropriate fraction thereof, of the active ingredient.
It should be understood that in addition to the ingredients particularly mentioned above the formulation of this invention may include other agents conventional in the
art having regard to the type of formulation in question, for example those suitable for oral administration may include flavoring agents or taste masking agents.

The 2theta values derived from single crystal data shown in Table 1 differ from the observed experimental powder diffraction values due to the lack of refinement in the unit cell parameters. Using 2theta values determined from experimental X-ray powder diffraction, the experimental powder pattern was indexed to obtain a more accurate set of unit cell parameters. Using the unit cell parameters from powder indexing and atomic (fractional) coordinates from single crystal X-ray diffraction, a more accurate calculated powder diffraction pattern was obtained.
Table 2 provides the line list of 19 intense peaks from the calculated pattern, based on the following unit cell parameters: a = 9.3305, b = 10.5818, c = 13.8040 (a, b, c units in angstroms), and β = 102.13°. The relative intensity of the peaks in the calculated pattern is effected not only by the input single crystal data but also by the peak profile (shape and broadening) used in the calculation of the simulated powder pattern.

Table 3 provides the line list of the 19 most intense peaks from an experimental powder diffraction pattern of 141 W94 Form V. The data was obtained on a Scintag XDS2000 diffractometer with fixed incident and receiving slits using a front packed sample preparation. To determine the error in 2theta determination, the 141W94 Form V sample was spiked with 1 -tetradecanol and NIST SRM 675 mica as internal standards. Contribution from K alpha II diffraction was mathematically removed prior to determination of peak position using a three point box car smoothing technique.
The relative intensity values were determined from a sample of 141 W94 Form V not spiked with internal standards.
Comparison of the accepted values of 2theta with the observed 2theta values for the internal standards indicated that the error in the observed 2theta values was less than ± 0.02 degrees. The error in determining observed 2theta values is affected by errors in diffractometer alignment and sample preparation. The error in 2theta and d- spacing values presented in Table 3 is the difference between the observed and calculated (see Table 2) values. It should be appreciated that the observed relative intensities are dependent on the diffractometer geometry as well as the sample preparation technique. Additionally, closely spaced diffraction lines which are not fully resolved by the diffractometer may affect observed relative intensity values.

Observed 2theta values and d-spacings are significant to the nearest 0.01 degree and 0.01 angstroms, repectively. The highest errors in d-spacing occur at the lowest 2theta angles. In addition to the experimental error in determining the 2theta and d- spacing values from a single 141W94 form V sample, the observed 2theta and d- spacing values of form V will also vary from sample to sample due to variations in crystallinity and crystal lattice strain. Ranges in 2theta values of up to ± 0.09 degrees 2theta have been observed.
Rounded to the nearest 0.01 angstrom, the diffraction peaks listed in Table 3 would be 13.53, 9.13, 8.44, 6.92, 6.08, 5.70, 5.27, 4.93, 4.58, 4.49, 4.42, 4.24, 4.19, 4.08, 3.91 , 3.80, 3.74, 3.48, and 3.1 1. The error in d-spacing determination is highest for the highest d-spacing and decreases with decreasing d-spacing. For the 13.53 d-spacing peak, the observed difference between the observed and calculate patterns is 0.03 angstroms. A more conservative estimate of error would be 0.05 angstroms at higher d-spacings (e.g. 13.53 angstroms) to 0.02 angstroms at lower d-spacings (e.g. 3.80 angstroms).
If 141W94 Form V is a minor component in the presence of other crystal form(s), not all of the Form V diffraction peaks in Tables 1 -3 may be observed due to overlaps with peaks from other crystal forms and variations in sample crystallinity.
The experimental (both raw data and observed data stripped of K α II diffraction) and the calculated powder pattern traces (d iff ractog rams) for Form V are shown in Figures 1 , 2 and 3 respectively. The calculated powder pattern trace for Form I is shown in figure 4. It should be appreciated that the observed relative peak intensities in experimental powder diffraction patterns may vary due to sample particle size, shape, crystallinity effects, variations in powder diffraction sample preparation and instrumental scan conditions.
