Abstract

Description
ELUXADOLINE CRYSTALLINE FORM AND PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION
THEREOF
Field of the invention
The present invention relates to a new crystalline form of Eluxadoline, as well as to a process for preparation thereof.
State of the art
Eluxadoline is the INN denomination assigned to the compound having lUPAC name 5-({[(2S)- 2-amino-3-(4-carbamoyl-2,6-dimethylphenyl)propanoyl][(1 S)-1 -(4-phenyl-1 /-/-imidazol-2- yl)ethyl]amino}methyl)-2-methox benzoic acid and the formula reported below:
Eluxadoline is a μ- and κ-opioid receptor agonist and δ-opioid receptor antagonist that acts locally in the enteric nervous system. The drug, administered orally, is active locally in the intestine and is able to control gastrointestinal function (Gl) and at the same time to reduce the pain and mitigate the effect of constipation. Its use has been approved for the treatment of diarrhea and abdominal pain in individuals with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D).
The family of compounds to which Eluxadoline belongs is disclosed in patent application WO 2005/090315 A1 , while patent application WO 2006/099060 A2 is directed to processes for the preparation of these compounds.
As it is well known, any active principle generally may exist under amorphous or different crystalline forms (polymorphs), either as pure compound or in forms in which in the structure of the crystal are present molecules of water (hydrates) or of another solvent (solvates); besides, in case of hydrates and solvates, the ratio between the number of molecules of active principle and molecules of water or solvent may vary, giving rise to different solid forms of the compound.
This form diversity has very important implications for the pharmaceutical industry, because each different polymorph, solvate, hydrate or amorphous form generally has different properties such as stability, solubility, and hygroscopicity; these differences in physical and chemical behaviors in turn may affect the preparation of the formulations in which the active
principle is included, their shelf-life, the possible need of protecting them from external agents (e.g., temperature, humidity or light), and the bioavailability of the active principle once the formulation is administered to a patient.
Additionally, salt selection is a strategy that is commonly employed to modulate and improve the physicochemical properties of pharmaceutical compounds. Crystalline salts can also confer useful attributes such as different aqueous solubility, chemical stability and bioavailability relative to those of the free acid of base of the active compound. Besides, salts of active compounds can make possible the efficient removal of impurities, resulting in a suitable manufacturing process of high-purity drug substance from regulatory point of view. For these reasons, chemical compounds useful in the pharmaceutical field are systematically screened looking for the physical form(s) that present the best set of production, storage and handling properties, and that are thus best suited for administration to the patients.
Patent application WO 2009/009480 A2 discloses three polymorphic forms of eluxadoline, referred to in the document respectively as zwitterion, Form a and Form β. According to this patent application, Form a is characterized by a powder X-ray diffraction pattern having the main peaks at about 10.2°, 1 1 .3°, 1 1.8°, 14.0°, 14.3°, 14.7°, 16.1 ° and 18.3° 2Θ, while Form β is characterized by a powder X-ray diffraction pattern having the main peaks at about 1 1 .0°, 12.4°, 14.9°, 15.2°, 22.1 °, 25.6°, 27.4°, and 30.4° 2Θ. Although Forms a and β are characterized by X-ray powders diffraction (XRPD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), no information is provided in the document about any useful properties from the standpoint of the pharmaceutical industry, neither regarding ease of handling of the forms in the production of formulations or storage stability, nor regarding the bioavailability of eluxadoline when prepared in one of these crystalline forms. Further it's worth mentioning that no data are provided in respect of the zwitterion of eluxadoline.
Additionally, patent application WO 2006/099060 A2 describes the isolation of eluxadoline as di-hydrochloride adduct. Anyway, no information is provided in the document about any useful properties from the standpoint of the pharmaceutical industry once again.
IPCOM000245543D and IPCOM0002451 14D describe the isolation of the di-hydrochloride salt of methyl 5-(((S)-2-amino-3-(4-carbamoyl-2,6-dimethylphenyl)-/V-((S)-1 -(4-phenyl-1 /-/- imidazol-2-yl)ethyl)propanamido)methyl)-2-methoxybenzoate, i.e. the methyl ester derivative of eluxadoline.

Excipients are essential for the administration of the active substance, as they allow to deliver the drug to the target site. Excipients are commonly referred to as raw materials entering into the composition of a pharmaceutical preparation with the aim of giving a shape, to facilitate administration and preserve the active ingredient. Furthermore, they contribute to characterize the pharmaceutical preparation from the point of view of appearance, stability, biopharmaceutical profile and acceptability by the patient.
It has been found that the crystalline forms of eluxadoline prepared according to the present invention are crystalline as determined by means of XRPD, and show complex DSC profile. Such crystalline forms undergo thermal transitions involving desolvation/dehydration processes and subsequent melting of desolved/dehydrated forms characterized by their DSC melting peak temperatures. Further thermal transitions may follow when e.g. degradation occurs. It will be understood that the onset and/or peak temperature values of the DSC may vary slightly from one machine to another, one method to another or from one sample to another, and so the values quoted are not to be construed as absolute. In fact, observed temperatures will depend on the rate of temperature change as well as sample preparation technique and the particular instrument employed. It will be estimated and taken into account
that the temperature values obtained applying such different conditions may have a ±4 °C accuracy.
In its first aspect, the invention regards a new crystalline form of eluxadoline of formula (I) (referred to in the following as form delta, δ). This novel crystalline form δ is characterized by a XRPD trace with main peaks at 8.58°, 10.94°, 17.24°, 20.10° and 26.62° ± 0.20° 2Θ in a diffractogram collected with the copper KC1 radiation (λ = 1.5408 A). A more complete listing of peaks in the diffractogram comprises peaks at angles 8.58°, 10.06°, 10.94°, 13.24°, 17.24°, 20.10°, 21 .54°, 23.52° and 26.62° ± 0.20° 2Θ.
In a preferred embodiment of this aspect of the invention, the crystalline form δ of eluxadoline shows an X-ray powder diffraction pattern that, when collected with the Ka radiation of copper (λ = 1.5408 A), is characterized by at least 5 peaks (± 0.2° 2Θ) selected from Table 1 A or 1 B:
In a more preferred embodiment of this aspect of the invention, the crystalline form δ of eluxadoline shows an XRPD trace as substantially depicted in Figure 1 .
Even more preferably said crystalline form δ of eluxadoline has a melting point from about 190 to about 195 °C and/or contains an amount of chloride, as determined, e.g., by argentometric titration, lower than 10% by weight, preferably from 0.2% to 8% by weight, more preferably from 0.3% to 7% by weight, even more preferably from 0.4% to 6% by weight.
According to a further more preferred embodiment of this aspect of the invention, the crystalline form δ of eluxadoline is a monohydrochloride salt of eluxadoline, thus having a chloride content from 4.0% to 6.5% by weight.
While not intending to be bound by any theory, it is believed that, the crystalline form δ of eluxadoline retains a XRPD profile as substantially depicted in Figure 1 irrespective of the
amount of chloride present in the crystalline structure, provided that its content, as determined, e.g., by argentometric titration, is within the prescribed range.
The crystalline form δ of eluxadoline can be further characterized by a DSC thermogram showing a feature between 48.9 °C and 124.6 °C (with a maximum at 103.9 °C), an event between 126.0 °C and 146.0 °C (with a maximum at 137.7 °C), a feature between 148.0 °C and 163.6 °C (with a maximum at 158.5 °C), and an event between 166.2 °C and 224.8 °C (with a maximum at 200.2 °C).
More preferably the crystalline form δ of eluxadoline is characterized by DSC TGA thermograms, as substantially depicted in Figures 2 and 3, respectively.
In a second aspect thereof, the invention refers to a process for the preparation of the crystalline form δ of eluxadoline described above, said process comprising the steps of:

In either case, the addition can be carried out in a single step (i.e. a single addition of the entire quantity to be added) or, preferably, in multiple additions (i.e. by dosing the amount to be added).

The invention will be further illustrated by the following examples.
The instruments and methods used to characterize the obtained solid form are as follows: XRPD: Analyses were performed on an EasyX600 TNX bench-top diffractometer at 25 °C, using a Cu Ka tube (30 kV, 20 mA, λ = 1.5408 A) as the X-ray source, equipped with a scintillation detector. Data collection was made in coupled mode and in theta-theta configuration, with 2Θ range increment of 0.04°. Samples were accurately grinded and placed in the hollow of a spinning aluminum sampler. The instrument was previously calibrated by means of zinc oxide, then allowing collection and elaboration of data by means of DFP acquisition software. RH (relative humidity) in the cabin: 28-30%.
DSC: DSC tests were conducted by use of a Mettler-Toledo DSC1 Star6 System. Indium was used for calibration. Accurately weighed samples (3-7 mg) were placed in open aluminum pans and heated at a rate of 10 °C/min under a 70 ml/min nitrogen purge. Range from 30 °C up to 300 °C was investigated.
Melting point: Tests performed by means of a M-560 Buchi instrument. Set point: 180 °C; scan: 0.5 °C/min.
TGA: TGA-DTG analyses were performed by means of a Perkin-Elmer Pyris 1 TGA instrument endowed with an EGA oven and a platinum sampler. The samples (approximately 6-7 mg)
were heated with a scan rate of 10 °C/min under a 90 mL/min nitrogen purge from 25 to 800 °C. The instrument was calibrated with calcium oxalate di-hydrate.
NMR: 1H NMR solution spectra were performed on a Jeol Eclipse 300 at 298 K, using DMSO- d6 as solvent. Chemical shifts are measured in δ ppm relative to tetramethylsilane. Accurately weighted amounts of sample were dissolved in a suitable test NMR tube and analyzed with 10 seconds delay.
Karl Fisher titration: Water content was determined by means of Karl-Fischer titration with a Mettler-Toledo V20 Compact equipment.
Argentometric titration: Chloride content was determined using a Series DL67 titrator (Mettler Toledo) equipped with Glass electrode DM141 -SC (KNO3 in water 1 M). To a solution of an accurately weighed amount of the sample to be tested (40 ± 2 mg) dissolved in MeOH (20 mL) and water (40 mL), 1 mL of Nitric acid 70% was added. Then titrate with 0.1 N silver nitrate. Before each analysis, perform a blank determination.
Dissolution test: Dissolution tests were performed by means of Sotax AT7 Smart equipped with 6X800mL volume vessels and using a 50 mM phosphate buffer pH=7.4, previously heated to 37 °C. 20 mg of the sample to be tested were placed in each vessel, and stirred (with paddles) at 1 10 rpm for 60 minutes at 37 ± 0.2 °C. Aliquots were taken at 5, 10, 20, 30, 45 and 60 min, filtered through 0.45 μηη Chromafil Xtra RC 45/25 syringe filter and analysed by UV/VIS spectrometer Perkin Elmer Lambda 35, 1 cm quartz cell (absorbance at 203 nm). pH was determined using a Mettler Toledo pH Meter FE20 equipped with a lnLab®420 electrode.
Example 1
Preparation of crystalline form δ of eluxadoline
Eluxadoline di-hydrochloride used as starting compound in this example was prepared according to the process described in patent application WO 2006/099060 A2.
28.6 g of Eluxadoline di-hydrochloride were suspended at 20-25 °C in 286 mL of ethyl acetate and 28.6 mL of water under stirring in a glass flask. 150 g of a 5% w/w sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution were added thereto over a period of 10 minutes, and the resulting suspension was kept under stirring for one additional hour. The suspension was finally filtered through a Buckner funnel, the flask rinsed with 85 mL of ethyl acetate and 28 mL of water and the obtained solid washed with 56 mL of ethyl acetate thus affording, after drying at 45 °C under reduced pressure, 23.5 grams of Eluxadoline (sodium content as per elemental analysis: < 0.05% w/w and chloride content - as per argentometric titration - 4.56% w/w).
The obtained product was analysed by XRPD, obtaining the diffractogram shown in Figure 1. The product was also subjected to DSC and TGA analyses, which gave as results the graphs shown in Figures 2 and 3, respectively. The DSC profile is mainly characterized by multiple complex broad endothermic events with onset at 79 °C, 127 °C, 149 °C and 178 °C, related to
the loss of water and melting of the solid. The same complex loss is evidenced by TGA screening between 25 °C and 250 °C. A 1H NMR analysis of a portion of the product was carried out for estimating the possible presence of residual solvents, giving as a result that no detectable amount of solvent is trapped in the crystal structure of the novel salt.
Finally, portions of the sample were used for carrying out a measure of melting point and a
Karl Fisher assay: the observed melting point was 193 °C, while the resulting water content was 8.57% by weight. Melting took place with no degradation, namely, no browning or other colour change, nor phenomena linked to the evolution of gases, were observed.
A portion of the product was subjected to a dissolution test in 50 mM phosphate buffer at pH=7.4 giving the results summarised below:
