anhydrous forms, hydrates and solvates thereof, process for the preparation thereof, pharmaceutical compositions containing the same and use of said salts in therapy.
The structure of 4-(4-{ [4-chloro-3-
(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]carbamoylamino}phenoxy)-N-methyl-pyridine-2-carboxamide (INN: L0 sorafenib) [CAS: 284461-73-0] of the Formula (1) is:
Background Art
.5 It is known in the art that sorafenib is an inhibitor of several kinases such as vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGF-R2), thrombocyte-derived growth factor receptor, Raf-kinase. The dysfunctions of these enzymes are in the background of the emergence of several type carcinomas. By inhibiting such enzymes, the formation of tumor cells and tumor angiogenesis can be prevented. Specifically, sorafenib can be effectively used against
!0 cancerous disorder of the kidney (renal cell carcinoma, RCC) and the liver (hepatocellular carcinoma, HCC). The use of the agent is promising in case of thyroid carcinoma (RIRTC, Phase III), but there are trials conducted in patients having unresectable pancreatics cancer (UPC, Phase I) and also in advanced gastric cancer cases (AGC, Phase I-II).
Sorafenib was first described in published International Patent Application WO '.5 2000/42012. This application discloses in Example 42 the synthesis of the free base which is
characterized by melting point, thin layer chromatography (Rf value) and MS data. The claims list several salts, including the hydrogen-bromide and the naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid salts, without providing an example or any characterization thereto.
In International Patent Application WO 2011/036648, further sorafenib salts (hydrochloride III, hydrobromide, mesylate, amorph sulfate) have been disclosed. These salts are fully characterized by powder X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra and by thermogravimetric methods.
The subjects of International Patent Application WO2011/092663 are the polymorphic form of sorafenib dimethyl-sulfoxide solvate (form III), and a process for preparation thereof. Additionally, the application describes the preparation process of sorafenib acid addition salts starting from the above-mentioned solvate polymorph. There are disclosed many hypotethic acid addition salts including the hydrogen-bromide and the naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid salts. However an example is provided for the preparation and HPLC-characterization for tosylate salt only, and there are no further examples for the other acid addition salts or characterization of them.
Summary of Invention
Recently there has been a serious need in pharmaceutical industry for reproducible manufacturing methods of morphologically uniform products. This is a fundamental demand for active ingredients required to meet the requirements of pharmaceutical formulation, quality assurance and those authorities responsible for marketing authorization. It is well- known in the state of the art that various salts and polymorphs differ from each other in important properties such as solubility, chemical stability, polymorph stability, dissolution rate, bioavailability, amenability to filtration or drying and in tabletting properties. From the point of view of the economy of manufacturing, it is highly important that the product should be prepared by a process suitable for industrial scale manufacture in a reproducible manner to provide a morphologically uniform salt free from contamination.
The object of the present invention is to provide morphologically uniform new sorafenib salts of high purity which possess more favourable physical-chemical properties
than the known salts and have at least as high chemical stability as the known salts and which can be prepared in a reproducible manner suitable for industrial scale manufacture.
The above object is solved according to the present invention by the preparation of the new salts of sorafenib, namely by salts formed with hydrogen-bromide and with naphthalene- 2-sulfonic acid.
The common inventive idea of the present invention resides in the preparation of new sorafenib salts exhibiting the stability and solubility properties of sorafenib tosylate and by their preparation process wherein formation of genotoxic components (alkyl-mesylates, - ethanesulfonates,- tosylates) is excluded.

The salts according to the present invention can also be prepared by drying the appropriate salt at suitable conditions whilst there is a solid phase morphologic conversion to another crystalline form. This conversion can cause a change of the solvent proportion in the unit cell of the crystal. The salt can be separated by known methods of pharmaceutical industry suitable for the separation of a solid phase and a liquid, such as filtration which is optionally carried out under atmospheric pressure or in vacuum, or under pressure or by using a centrifuge.
The process can be carried out in an organic solvent, e.g. C1-4 aliphatic alcohol, C1-5 linear or cyclic ether, Ci-6 ester or acetonitrile or a mixture thereof, optionally in admixture with water.

If the salt precipitates at the temperature of the addition, after the crystallization time, the product should be filtered, washed and dried. If the precipitation does not spontaneously take place, the crystallization is initiated by adding seed crystals. The sorafenib hydrogen-bromide (1 :1) acetonitrile solvate salt is preferably prepared by stirring the free sorafenib base of the Formula (1) in the mixture of acetonitrile and water and adding to the suspension an aqueous hydrogen-bromide solution or a mixture of acetonitrile and hydrogen-bromide solution at a temperature between 0 °C and the boiling point of the solvent, preferably at room temperature.

The salt-forming agents used for the preparation of active substances of the pharmaceuticals have to be pharmaceutically acceptable and the amount thereof in the product cannot exceed the tolerance limit. Moreover, it is important to pay attention to the amount of the process-related impurities. There are especially strict criteria for the purportedly genotoxic
5 components where the tolerance limit is set below few hundred ppm. Often there is a need for dedicated methods and equipement to analyze in this impurity-range. Therefore it is necessary to proceed with special care during the development of mesylate, ethanesulfonate, besylate and tosylate salts because the alkyl-derivatives of them are intensively genotoxic. Thus there is a need for providing new salt-forming agents and salt-forms which do not yield process-
L0 related impurities during production. The sorafenib salts according to the invention fulfill those criteria which is essential relating to minimalization of the harmful effects of pharmaceuticals exerted in the human body.
It has been surprisingly found that sorafenib hydrobromide exists in crystalline form(s) not described in the state of the art. Furthermore, the state of the art is silent about the L5 preparation or characterization of sorafenib naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid salts.
According to a further aspect of the present invention there are provided pharmaceutical compositions comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a sorafenib salt of the present invention and if desired, a pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliary agent. According to a further aspect of the present invention there is provided the use of the 10 sorafenib salts of the present invention as pharmaceuticals and the use thereof for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be administered preferably orally. Such oral compositions may be e.g. tablets, capsules, dragees, solutions, elixirs, suspensions or emulsions.
15 The pharmaceutical compositions according to the present invention may contain conventional pharmaceutical carriers and/or auxiliary agents. As carrier e.g. magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar, lactose, pectin, dextrin, starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, low melting wax, PEG, cocoa butter etc. can be used. In case of capsules the carrier often serves as the capsule wall material so that no
30 additional carrier is required. Chartula and lozenge are further oral pharmaceutical
compositions. Particularly preferred oral administration solid forms are the tablets, powders, capsules, pirules, chartula and lozenges.
The tablets are prepared by admixing the active ingredient with suitable carriers in an appropriate ratio and from this mixture tablets of desired shape and size are pressed. The powders are prepared by admixing the finely powdered active ingredient with the finely powdered carriers. The liquid compositions may be solutions, suspensions and emulsions which can also be sustained release compositions. Aqueous solutions and aqueous propylene glycol solutions proved to be advantageous. Compositions suitable for parenteral administration can be prepared preferably in the form of aqueous polyethylene glycol solutions.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention can be preferably prepared in the form of dosage units which contain the desired amount of the active ingredient. The dosage units can be put on the market in the form of packages comprising separated amounts of the compositions e.g. packed tablets, capsules, vials or ampoules which contain the powder. The term "dosage unit" relates to the capsules, tablets, chartula, lozenge and also to the package comprising a suitable amount of dosage units.
According to a further aspect of the present invention there is provided a process for the preparation of the above pharmaceutical compositions which comprises admixing a sorafenib salt according to the invention or a mixture thereof with pharmaceutically acceptable solid or liquid diluents and/or auxiliary agents and bringing the mixture into a pharmaceutical dosage form.

According to a further aspect of the present invention there is provided the use of any of the sorafenib salts for preparing high-purity sorafenib base, additionally the use of any of the sorafenib salts as an intermediate in preparing sorafenib base, their salts or solvates.
The advantage of the present invention is that the new sorafenib salt compounds of the present invention are substances of uniform morphology and have an advantageous crystal form. For this reason the salts of the present invention possess preferable and reproducible properties, such as dissolution rate, bioavailability, chemical stability and processing characteristics e.g. filtration, drying and tabletting properties.
