• the present invention also relates to methods of preparing the crystalline form and methods of using the crystalline form as a Btk inhibitor.
• Btk Bruton's tyrosine kinase belongs to the Tec tyrosine kinase family (Vetrie et al., Nature 361: 226-233, 1993; Bradshaw, Cell Signal. 22: 1175-84, 2010). Btk is primarily expressed in most hematopoietic cells such as B cells, mast cells and macrophages (Smith et al., J. Immunol. 152: 557-565, 1994) and is localized in bone marrow, spleen and lymph node tissue. Btk plays important roles in B-cell receptor (BCR) and FcR signaling pathways, which involve in B-cell development, differentiation (Khan, Immunol. Res.
• BCR B-cell receptor
• Btk is activated by upstream Src-family kinases. Once activated, Btk in turn phosphorylates PLC gamma, leading to effects on B-cell function and survival (Humphries et al., J. Biol.Chem. 279: 37651, 2004).
• Btk inhibitors can be used to treat autoimmune and/or inflammatory diseases.
• Btk inhibitor PCI-32765 was effective in treatment of several types of B-cell lymphoma (for example, 54thAmerican Society of Hematology (ASH) annual meeting abstract, Dec.
