Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S.
Provisional Application No. 61/767,761, filed on Feb. 21, 2013,
which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] This invention relates to the free base of
6-acetyl-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-2-(5-piperazin-1-yl-pyridin-2-ylamino)-8H-
-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one having improved physicochemical
properties. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical
compositions and dosage forms comprising the free base, and to
methods for making and using such compounds, compositions and
dosage forms in the treatment of cell proliferative diseases, such
as cancer.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The compound
6-acetyl-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-2-(5-piperazin-1-yl-pyridin-2-ylamino)-8H-
-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one (also referred to herein as "compound
1"), may be represented by the structure:
##STR00002##
and is also known as palbociclib or PD-0332991. Compound 1 is a
potent and selective inhibitor of CDK4 and CDK6.
[0004] Compound 1 and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are
disclosed in International Publication No. WO 2003/062236 and U.S.
Pat. Nos. 6,936,612, 7,208,489 and 7,456,168, which describe the
preparation of compound 1 as its hydrochloride salt. International
Publication No. WO 2005/005426 and U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,345,171 and
7,863,278 describe preparation of the free base and various mono-
and di-acid addition salts of compound 1, including polymorphic
forms of the isethionate salt. A process for the preparation of
compound 1 as a mono-isethionate salt is described in International
Publication No. WO 2008/032157 and U.S. Pat. No. 7,781,583. The
contents of each of the foregoing references are incorporated
herein by reference in their entirety.
[0005] While compound 1 is a potent and selective CDK4/CDK6
inhibitor, its use as a free base presented challenges for
pharmaceutical development. The free base provided by traditional
salt break procedures, e.g., as in Example 4 of WO 2005/005426, was
highly static prone and formed small primary particles, which
agglomerated into large, hard agglomerates that were difficult to
disperse by sieving and were unsuitable for further development.
The present invention provides compound 1 free base having larger
primary particle size that demonstrates improved physicochemical
and manufacturability properties.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] The free base of compound
1,6-acetyl-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-2-(5-piperazin-1-yl-pyridin-2-ylamino)--
8H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one, can exist in one or more
polymorphic forms, including Form A and Form B, wherein Form A is
the more stable crystalline form. The free base may be anhydrous,
or may contain varying amounts of water or one or more
solvents.
[0007] The present invention provides the crystalline free base of
compound 1 having larger primary particle size, greatly reduced
specific surface area, and lower surface energy measurements than
the free base provided by traditional salt break methods described
in the art. The large particle size compound 1 free base disclosed
herein is distinguishable by a variety of methods.
[0008] The polymorphic and solid forms of the invention can be
distinguished by powder X-ray diffractometry (PXRD), solid state
NMR (ssNMR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), vibrational
spectroscopy (e.g., IR and Raman spectroscopy), polarized light
microscopy (PLM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), hot stage
optical microscopy, electron crystallography, single crystal X-ray
diffractometry, quantitative analysis, particle size analysis (PSA)
(e.g., particle size, particle size distribution (PSD), and
particle shape), specific surface area (SSA) analysis, surface
energy analysis (e.g., inverse gas chromatography or IGC), by
solubility studies and dissolution studies, or a combination of
these techniques.
[0009] In one aspect, the invention provides a crystalline free
base of
6-acetyl-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-2-(5-piperazin-1-yl-pyridin-2-ylamino)-8H-
-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one having a specific surface area of
.ltoreq.2 m.sup.2/g. In some embodiments, the free base has a
specific surface area of .ltoreq.1 m.sup.2/g.
[0010] In preferred embodiments, the crystalline free base of
compound 1 is a polymorph Form A of the free base. In some such
embodiments, the crystalline free base has a PXRD pattern
comprising a peak at diffraction angle (2.theta.) of 10.1.+-.0.2.
In other such embodiments, the crystalline free base has a PXRD
pattern comprising peaks at diffraction angles (2.theta.) of
8.0.+-.0.2 and 10.1.+-.0.2. In still other embodiments, the
crystalline free base has a PXRD pattern comprising peaks at
diffraction angles (2.theta.) of 8.0.+-.0.2, 10.1.+-.0.2, and
11.5.+-.0.2. In further embodiments, the crystalline free base has
a PXRD pattern comprising peaks at diffraction angles (2.theta.) of
8.0.+-.0.2, 10.1.+-.0.2, 10.3.+-.0.2, and 11.5.+-.0.2. In further
embodiments, the crystalline free base has a PXRD pattern
comprising peaks at diffraction angles (2.theta.) essentially the
same as shown in FIG. 1.
[0011] In some embodiments, the crystalline free base of compound 1
(Form A) has a .sup.13C solid state NMR (ssNMR) spectrum comprising
the following resonance (ppm) values: 12.5 ppm.+-.0.2 ppm. In other
embodiments, the crystalline free base has a .sup.13C solid state
NMR spectrum comprising the following resonance (ppm) values: 12.5
ppm and 112.4 ppm.+-.0.2 ppm. In further embodiments, the
crystalline free base has a .sup.13C solid state NMR spectrum
comprising the following resonance (ppm) values: or 12.5 ppm, 112.4
ppm and 143.2 ppm.+-.0.2 ppm.
[0012] In some embodiments described herein, the compound 1 free
base of the invention is distinguished by particle size analysis.
In some such embodiments, the crystalline free base has a primary
particle size of from about 5 .mu.m to about 150 .mu.m, preferably
from about 10 .mu.m to about 100 .mu.m, or more preferably from
about 15 .mu.m to about 80 .mu.m. In other such embodiments, the
crystalline free base has a primary particle size distribution
characterized by: (i) a D10 value of from about 5 .mu.m to about 10
.mu.m; (ii) a D50 value of from about 10 .mu.m to about 45 .mu.m;
or (iii) a D90 value of from about 30 .mu.m to about 125 .mu.m; or
a combination of (i), (ii) and (iii). In additional embodiments,
the crystalline free base has a primary particle size distribution
ratio of (D90-D10)/D50 of from about 2 to about 3. In further
embodiments, the crystalline free base has a volume mean diameter
(D[4,3]) of from about 15 .mu.m to about 125 .mu.m.
[0013] In some embodiments, the crystalline free base of compound 1
is anhydrous. In other embodiments, the crystalline free base of
compound 1 is a solvate, in particular a hydrate.
[0014] In another aspect, the invention provides a pharmaceutical
composition comprising a crystalline free base of compound 1,
having the large primary particle size according to the invention,
and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient.
Frequently, the pharmaceutical composition comprises polymorph Form
A of the free base.
[0015] The invention further provides a capsule comprising such a
pharmaceutical composition of the invention. In some such
embodiments, the capsule comprises from 0.1 to 200 mg, and
preferably from 25 to 150 mg, of compound 1 free base (preferably
as polymorph Form A), having the large primary particle size as
described herein.
[0016] In another aspect, the invention provides a method of
treating cancer in a mammal, preferably a human, comprising
administering to the mammal a therapeutically effective amount of a
pharmaceutical composition of the invention. The method of
treatment may further comprise administration of compound 1 in
combination with one or more additional therapeutic agents.
[0017] In further aspects, the invention provides methods of making
the free base of compound 1 having a large primary particle size,
as described herein. One method involves dissolving the small
particle size free base of compound 1 in mixture of a first solvent
and a second solvent and heating to achieve dissolution, cooling to
appropriate temperature, providing seed crystals of compound 1 free
base (Form A), followed by crystallization to provide the large
particle size free base of compound 1. The small particle size free
base used in this process may be isolated from a traditional salt
break procedure, e.g., by acidic hydrolysis of the intermediate
vinyl ether to provide an acid addition salt, followed by
basification, as described in Example 5. Another method involves
acidic hydrolysis of the intermediate vinyl ether in a mixture of
water and a first solvent, which may require heating to obtain
dissolution, addition of a second solvent and basification to
provide a second mixture comprising the free base generated in
situ, heating if required to obtain dissolution and to distill off
water, and providing seed crystals of compound 1 free base (Form A)
at an appropriate temperature, followed by crystallization to
provide the free base of compound 1 having a large primary particle
size. The invention further provides the free base of compound 1
prepared by these methods, having the properties described
herein.
[0018] In each of the above methods, the first solvent is an
alcohol and the second solvent is an aromatic solvent. Suitable
alcohols include, but are not limited to, relatively high boiling
alcohols such as n-butanol, t-butanol, n-propanol, pentanol,
1,4-butanediol or propylene glycol, and the like. Suitable aromatic
solvents include, but are not limited to, anisole, mesitylene,
m-xylene, chlorobenzene, pyridine, and the like. To improve yields,
the methods may include heating or cooling to temperatures above or
below room temperature. Frequently, the reaction mixtures may be
heated to temperatures ranging from about 30.degree. C. to about
150.degree. C., and more frequently from about 50.degree. C. to
about 120.degree. C. to achieve dissolution. During
crystallization, it may be desirable to cool the reaction mixture
to a temperature that is at or below room temperature, for example
between about 0.degree. C. and about 30.degree. C., preferably to
about 5.degree. C., about 10.degree. C., about 15.degree. C., or
about 20.degree. C.
[0019] These and other aspects and embodiments are further
described by the detailed description provided herein. Each of the
embodiments described herein can be combined with any other
embodiment described herein not inconsistent with the embodiment
with which it is combined.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0029] The present invention may be understood more readily by
reference to the following detailed description and the Examples
included herein. It is to be understood that the terminology used
herein is for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only
and is not intended to be limiting. It is further to be understood
that unless specifically defined herein, the terminology used
herein is to be given its traditional meaning as known in the
relevant art.
[0030] As used herein, the singular form "a", "an", and "the"
include plural references unless indicated otherwise. For example,
"a" substituent includes one or more substituents.
[0031] As used herein, the term "about" means within a
statistically meaningful range of a value, such as a stated
concentration range, time frame, molecular weight, particle size,
temperature or pH. Such a range can be within an order of
magnitude, typically within 20%, more typically within 10%, and
even more typically within 5% of the indicated value or range.
Sometimes, such a range can be within the experimental error
typical of standard methods used for the measurement and/or
determination of a given value or range. The allowable variation
encompassed by the term "about" will depend upon the particular
system under study, and can be readily appreciated by one of
ordinary skill in the art. Whenever a range is recited within this
application, every whole number integer within the range is also
contemplated as an embodiment of the invention.
[0032] As used herein, unless otherwise indicated, the term
"abnormal cell growth" refers to cell growth that is independent of
normal regulatory mechanisms (e.g., loss of contact inhibition).
"Abnormal cell proliferative diseases" are diseases characterized
by abnormal cell growth, such as cancer.
[0033] The term "cancer" includes both solid tumors and
hematological malignancies. Cancers include, but are not limited
to, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, endometrial
cancer, prostate cancer, testicular cancer, pancreatic cancer,
esophageal cancer, head and neck cancer, gastric cancer, bladder
cancer, lung cancer (e.g., adenocarcinoma, NSCLC and SCLC), bone
cancer (e.g., osteosarcoma), colon cancer, rectal cancer, thyroid
cancer, brain and central nervous system cancers, glioblastoma,
neuroblastoma, neuroendocrine cancer, rhabdoid cancer,
keratoacanthoma, epidermoid carcinoma, seminoma, melanoma, sarcoma
(e.g., liposarcoma), bladder cancer, liver cancer (e.g.,
hepatocellular carcinoma), kidney cancer (e.g., renal cell
carcinoma), myeloid disorders (e.g., AML, CML, myelodysplastic
syndrome and promyelocytic leukemia), and lymphoid disorders (e.g.,
leukemia, multiple myeloma, mantle cell lymphoma, ALL, CLL, B-cell
lymphoma, T-cell lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's
lymphoma, hairy cell lymphoma).
[0034] The phrase "pharmaceutically acceptable" refers to
substances, which are within the scope of sound medical judgment,
suitable for use in contact with the tissues of patients without
undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, and the like,
commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio, and effective
for their intended use.
[0035] The term "mammal", as used herein, may be a human or
non-human mammal (e.g., dog, cat, rabbit, rat, mouse, horse,
monkey, other lower-order primate, etc.). Preferably the mammal is
a human.
[0036] As used herein, unless otherwise indicated, the term
"treating" means reversing, alleviating, inhibiting the progress
of, or preventing the disorder or condition to which such term
applies, or one or more symptoms of such disorder or condition. The
term "treatment", as used herein, unless otherwise indicated,
refers to the act of treating as "treating" as defined immediately
above.
[0037] As used herein, an "effective" amount refers to an amount of
a compound, agent, substance, formulation or composition that is of
sufficient quantity to result in a decrease in severity of disease
symptoms, an increase in frequency and duration of disease
symptom-free periods, or a prevention of impairment or disability
due to the disease affliction. The amount may be as a single dose
or according to a multiple dose regimen, alone or in combination
with other compounds, agents or substances. One of ordinary skill
in the art would be able to determine such amounts based on such
factors as a subject's size, the severity of a subject's symptoms,
and the particular composition or route of administration
selected.
[0038] "Unit dosage form", as used herein, refers to a physically
discrete unit of inventive formulation appropriate for the subject
to be treated. It will be understood, however, that the total daily
usage of the compositions of the present invention will be decided
by the attending physician within the scope of sound medical
judgment. The specific effective dose level for any particular
subject will depend upon a variety of factors including the
disorder being treated and the severity of the disorder; specific
composition employed; age, body weight, general health, sex and
diet of the subject; time of administration, duration of the
treatment; drugs and/or additional therapies used in combination or
coincidental with the inventive compositions, and like factors well
known in the medical arts.
[0039] As used herein, the term "essentially the same" with
reference to X-ray diffraction peak positions means that typical
peak position and intensity variability are taken into account. For
example, one skilled in the art will appreciate that the peak
positions (2.theta.) will show some inter-apparatus variability,
typically as much as 0.2.degree. or 0.1.degree.. Further, one
skilled in the art will appreciate that relative peak intensities
will show inter-apparatus variability as well as variability due to
degree of crystallinity, preferred orientation, prepared sample
surface, and other factors known to those skilled in the art, and
should be taken as qualitative measures only.
[0040] The term, "solvate," as used herein, refers to a crystal
form of a substance which contains solvent. The term "hydrate"
refers to a solvate wherein the solvent is water.
[0041] The term "seeding," as used herein, means the addition of
crystals to a crystallization system, for the purpose of initiating
or enhancing nucleation or acting as substrate for further
crystallization.
[0042] As used herein, the terms "API" or "active pharmaceutical
ingredient" refer to the free base of
6-acetyl-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-2-(5-piperazin-1-yl-pyridin-2-ylamino)-8H-
-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one.
[0043] As used herein, the term "primary particles" refers to
individual API crystals.
[0044] As used herein, the term "agglomerates" refers to tightly
bound API crystals that are difficult to disperse into primary
particles during processing and particle size analysis.
[0045] The present invention provides compound 1 free base having
larger primary particle size, greatly reduced specific surface
area, and lower surface energy measurements than the free base
provided by traditional salt break methods. For convenience, the
compound 1 free base provided by the invention may sometimes be
referred to herein as the "large (primary) particle size" free
base. This is in contrast to the free base of compound 1 prepared
through traditional salt break methods, which is sometimes referred
to as the "small (primary) particle size" free base. It will be
understood by those of skill in the art that the reference to
"small particle size" in this case refers to the particle size of
individual API crystals, and does not take into account the
propensity of the "small" particles to form large agglomerates.
[0046] In some embodiments of the invention described herein, the
crystalline free base of compound 1 is distinguished by specific
surface area (SSA). Thus, in one aspect, the invention provides a
crystalline free base of
6-acetyl-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-2-(5-piperazin-1-yl-pyridin-2-ylamino)-8H-
-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one having a specific surface area (SSA)
of .ltoreq.2 m.sup.2/g. In some embodiments, the free base has a
specific surface area (SSA) of .ltoreq.1 m.sup.2/g. In other
embodiments, the free base of compound 1 has an SSA of .ltoreq.0.9
m.sup.2/g, .ltoreq.0.8 m.sup.2/g or .ltoreq.0.7 m.sup.2/g. In
further embodiments, the free base of compound 1 has an SSA of
between 0.2 m.sup.2/g and 2 m.sup.2/g, between 0.5 m.sup.2/g and
1.5 m.sup.2/g, or between 0.5 m.sup.2/g and 1 m.sup.2/g.
[0047] In some embodiments described herein, the crystalline free
base of compound 1 is distinguished by dispersive surface energy.
Thus, in one aspect, the invention provides a crystalline free base
of
6-acetyl-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-2-(5-piperazin-1-yl-pyridin-2-ylamino)-8H-
-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one having a dispersive surface energy of
.ltoreq.60 mJ/m.sup.2. In some embodiments, the free base has a
dispersive surface energy of .ltoreq.55 mJ/m.sup.2, .ltoreq.50
mJ/m.sup.2, .ltoreq.45 mJ/m.sup.2 or .ltoreq.40 mJ/m.sup.2. In
further embodiments, the free base of compound 1 has a dispersive
surface energy of between 20 mJ/m.sup.2 and 60 mJ/m.sup.2, between
25 mJ/m.sup.2 and 50 mJ/m.sup.2, or between 30 mJ/m.sup.2 and 50
mJ/m.sup.2.
[0048] In preferred embodiments, the crystalline free base of
compound 1 is a polymorph Form A of the free base. In some such
embodiments, the crystalline form has a PXRD pattern comprising a
peak at diffraction angle (2.theta.) of 10.1.+-.0.2. In other such
embodiments, the crystalline form has a PXRD pattern comprising
peaks at diffraction angles (2.theta.) of 8.0.+-.0.2 and
10.1.+-.0.2. In still other embodiments, the crystalline form has a
PXRD pattern comprising peaks at diffraction angles (2.theta.) of
8.0.+-.0.2, 10.1.+-.0.2, and 11.5.+-.0.2. In further embodiments,
the crystalline form has a PXRD pattern comprising peaks at
diffraction angles (2.theta.) of 8.0.+-.0.2, 10.1.+-.0.2,

[0093] For each powder X-ray diffraction measurement, a sample of a
free base was placed into a cavity located on a planar surface of
the holder, and a glass slide was used to level the surface of the
sample. The holder, which contains the sample, was placed in the
diffractometer, and the source of the X-ray beam irradiated the
sample, initially at a small angle relative to the planar surface
of the holder. The X-ray beam was subsequently moved through an arc
in a step-wise manner, which successively increased the angle
between the incident beam and the planar surface of the holder. At
each step of the scan, the scintillation counter detected the
amount of diffracted radiation, which was recorded as a function of
2.theta. (.degree.). The instrument software displays the
diffracted radiation results of the scan as intensity versus
2.theta. (.degree.).
[0094] Tables 1 and 3 list significant PXRD peaks (i.e., those
exhibiting peak height to noise ratio greater than 3.5) for the
free base of compound 1 having polymorph Form A or Form B,
respectively. The list of characteristic peaks provided is not the
only possible list of characteristic peaks. Persons of ordinary
skill in the art of polymorph identification may choose other sets
of characteristic peaks that will also distinguish one polymorph
from another.
[0095] Differences in PXRD patterns among separate measurements of
the same polymorph may arise for many reasons. Sources of error
include variations in sample preparation (e.g. sample height),
instrument errors, calibration errors, and operator errors
(including errors in determining peak locations). Preferential
orientation, i.e., a lack of random orientation of crystals in the
PXRD sample, can result in significant differences in relative peak
heights. Calibration errors and sample height errors often result
in a shift of all of the peaks of the diffractogram in the same
direction and by the same amount. Small differences in sample
height on a flat holder may lead to large displacements in PXRD
peak positions. For a systematic study showing that sample height
differences of 1 mm may lead to peak shifts as high as 1.degree.
2.theta., see Chen et al., J. Pharmaceutical and Biomedical
Analysis (2001) 26:63.
[0096] In many instances, peak shifts among diffraction patterns
resulting from systematic error can be eliminated by compensating
for the shift (e.g., applying a correction factor to all peak
position values) or by recalibrating the diffractometer. Generally,
the same techniques can be used to compensate for differences among
diffractometers so that PXRD peak positions obtained from two
different instruments can be brought into agreement. Furthermore,
when these techniques are applied to PXRD measurements from the
same or different diffractometers, the peak positions for a
particular polymorph will usually agree to within about
.+-.0.2.degree. 2.theta..
[0097] The disclosed compounds embrace all pharmaceutically
acceptable isotopic variations. An isotopic variation is a compound
in which at least one atom is replaced by an atom having the same
atomic number, but an atomic mass different from the atomic mass
usually found in nature. Useful isotopes include isotopes of
hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, fluorine,
and chlorine. Exemplary isotopes thus include, without limitation,
.sup.2H, .sup.3H, .sup.13C, .sup.14C, .sup.15N, .sup.17O, .sup.18O,
.sup.32P, .sup.35S, .sup.18F, and .sup.36Cl.
[0098] Substitution of the disclosed compounds with isotopes such
as deuterium, i.e. .sup.2H, may afford certain therapeutic
advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example,
increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, and
hence may be more useful in some circumstances. In addition,
certain isotopic variations, for example, those incorporating a
radioactive isotope, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue
distribution studies. The radioactive isotopes tritium, i.e.
.sup.3H, and carbon-14, i.e. .sup.14C, are particularly useful for
this purpose in view of their ease of incorporation and ready means
of detection.
[0099] Isotopic variations of the disclosed compounds can generally
be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in
the art or by processes analogous to those described in the
accompanying Examples using appropriate isotopic variations of
suitable reagents. Pharmaceutically acceptable solvates of the
disclosed compounds include those in which the solvent of
crystallization may be isotopically substituted, e.g. D.sub.2O,
d.sub.6-acetone, d.sub.6-DMSO.
Solubility Experiments
[0100] U.S. Pat. No. 7,345,171 reported that the free base of
compound 1, prepared by a traditional salt break procedure, had
poor water solubility (9 .mu.g/mL) at pH 7.9 and exhibited low
bioavailability in animal studies. The free base was reported to be
in its most stable crystal phase according to slurry experiments
(i.e., Form A). FIG. 17 of U.S. Pat. No. 7,345,171 provided the
water adsorption/desorption isotherms for the free base of Form A.
As noted previously, this material corresponds to the small
particle size free base of compound 1 described herein.
[0101] The free base of compound 1 (Form A) has a high propensity
for punch sticking in the drug particle manufacturing process. As
punch sticking is related to API surface area, API particle size
control is critical for minimizing sticking during drug product
manufacturing. In addition to issues with punch sticking, compound
1 free base isolated directly from a standard salt break process
was found to be highly static prone and found to form large
(approximately 500 microns) hard agglomerates that were not
dispersed by sieving. Free base API with similarly poor physical
properties was produced by free basing of the existing isethionate
salt API or by neutralization of the in situ salt formed in the
final step of the API synthesis. In either process, small API
primary particles were produced due to the rapid crystallization
caused by the dramatic change in solubility with adjustment of the
pH. In all cases the free base was isolated as the more stable
polymorph of Form A.
[0102] FIG. 6 shows a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of
typical small primary particles formed by the free basing and
neutralization experiments described above. The particle size
distribution measurement for a batch of compound 1 (Form A)
produced by this free base isolation process is provided in FIG. 8.
The second mode in the particle size distribution was caused by the
presence of large agglomerates, which are also seen in the SEM
image in FIG. 6. Attempts to modify the free basing process were
not successful in improving the physical properties of the API
produced. As the process for producing free base resulted in the
isolation of API with poor physical properties, work was undertaken
to identify a recrystallization process that could improve the API
physical properties.
[0103] Early crystallization screening experiments for compound 1
free base were completed to identify a solvent system that allows
for the isolation of particles with improved physical properties. A
combination of solubility screening and small-scale
recrystallization studies examined multiple potential solvent
systems.
Small-Scale Crystallization Studies
[0104] A series of small-scale crystallization experiments was run
to identify a potential recrystallization solvent system as well as
to assess the impact of solvent on the shape of the free base
primary particles isolated. An initial set of 14 screening studies
were run on a 10 mg scale using sealed vials and an external heat
source to warm the 50 mg/mL samples up to reflux temperature.
Visual observation identified the samples that went into solution,
and photomicroscopy was used to characterize the particles
produced. The results of these initial crystallization screening
experiments are summarized in Table 5.

[0105] Based on these small-scale crystallization studies, anisole
became the focus of additional crystallization and solubility
studies as the particles produced were large and as anisole is an
ICH Class III solvent. This screening study also identified
pyridine, m-xylene, and mesitylene as potential solvent systems
based on the particles produced, although none of these solvents
also have the ICH class III listing similar to anisole.
[0106] The following solvents have also been used for
recrystallization of the solid: isopropanol, isobutanol, ethanol,
ethyl acetate, toluene, tetrahydrofuran, and dioxane. Each of the
solvents generated the polymorph Form A crystalline solid of
compound 1 which was the same as the original crystalline form
obtained from dichloromethane.
Solubility Studies:
[0107] In parallel with the initial small-scale crystallization
studies, a series of solubility studies were conducted on the free
base of compound 1 to identify a possible recrystallization system.
In an initial room temperature solubility screening study, a total
of 23 solvents were screened. This study indicated that the
compound 1 free-base has low solubility in a range of organic
solvents, with only methylene chloride displaying a solubility
greater than 1 mg/mL (3.0 mg/mL). Subsequent targeted higher
temperature solubility studies were conducted. In a follow-up
study, a set of 16 solvent systems were examined at a fixed
concentration of 25 mg/mL, and the dissolution temperature was
measured using a kinetic solubility method up to a maximum
temperature of 110.degree. C.
[0108] Synergistic solubility behavior predicted by a COSMOtherm
solubility model of compound 1 was used to select the binary and
ternary solvent systems included in this screening study. The
results of these studies are listed in Table 6. For experiments
listed as >110.degree. C. in the table, compound 1 did not
dissolve in the solvent upon heating to 110.degree. C., indicating
that the solubility is less than 25 mg/mL at 110.degree. C. in this
solvent.

[0109] Subsequent UPLC/MS testing of the saturated solution from
experiments #3 and #11 in Table 6 indicated the presence of a
previously unseen impurity peak, indicating that degradation
occurred in these experiments.
[0110] Although the propylene glycol/n-BuOH/anisole mixtures showed
improved solubility as compared to the n-BuOH/anisole mixtures, the
former solvent system was not pursued because of the potential
challenges of working with propylene glycol due to its high
viscosity and boiling point which may cause issues on-scale.
[0111] Based on these screening studies, a mixture of 40% n-butanol
and anisole was selected as the crystallization solvent system for
further work, in view of the relatively high solubility, chemical
stability of the API, and particle properties of the recrystallized
compound 1 API. This solvent system was used in subsequent
production to provide larger primary particle size API that had
reduced sticking, was not static prone, and was free of
agglomerates.
[0112] Using this solvent mixture, compound 1 was dissolved with 40
mL/g of solvent (concentration of 25 mg/mL) by heating to
95-100.degree. C., before being crystallized using a controlled
cooling profile and seeding to induce nucleation. FIG. 9 is a PLM
image of a lab-scale lot of compound 1 recrystallized using this
recrystallization procedure, while FIG. 7 displays a particle size
distribution for three lots of recrystallized API. This
recrystallization process results in the isolation of compound 1
API particles with a larger primary particle size, which leads to a
decrease in the sticking tendency in the drug product manufacturing
process. This recrystallized compound 1 API does not form
agglomerates and also has the positive attribute of not being
static prone.
[0113] The combination of solubility screening and small-scale
recrystallization studies examined multiple potential solvent
systems for the recrystallization of compound 1 free base. Based on
the results from these screening studies, a mixture of 40%
n-butanol/anisole was selected as the preferred crystallization
solvent system based on the relatively high solubility, chemical
stability of the API, and particle properties of the recrystallized
compound 1. The larger particle size and improved particle
properties of the API isolated from this recrystallization process
facilitated the development of a drug product manufacturing process
for compound 1 free base.
Particle Size Assessment
[0114] Particle sizes for the recrystallized materials were
assessed using laser diffraction methods. Laser diffraction is
recognized by standards and guidance agencies including ISO and
ASTM and is widely used to determine particle size distributions.
In conducting the assessment, the sample is passed through a laser
beam which results in laser light scattered at a range of angles.
Detectors placed at fixed angles measure the intensity of light
scattered at that position. A mathematical model (Mie or
Fraunhoffer Theory) is then applied to generate a particle size
distribution.
[0115] The particle size was analyzed using the laser diffraction
(or small angle light scattering) technique by dispersing the dry
sample powder with compressed air. Specifically, the particle size
distribution was analyzed using the Sympatec HELOS RODOS system
equipped with a Vibri dry powder feeder. The powder sample was
dispersed with a dispersion pressure of 0.5 bar. In some instances,
an Aspiros micro-dosing device was used, and the powder sample was
dispersed with a dispersion pressure of 0.2 bar. A suitable lens
was selected to cover the particle size range of each sample.
[0116] In particle size determinations, the median value is defined
as the value where half of the population resides above this point,
and half resides below this point. For particle size distributions
the median is called the D50. The D50 is the size in microns that
splits the distribution with half above and half below this
diameter. The expression Dv50 or D[v,0.5] is sometimes used for the
median of a volume distribution.
[0117] The mode is the peak of a frequency distribution. A particle
distribution may include more than one mode, e.g., where the
particles exist as primary particles and agglomerations.
[0118] The span is sometimes used as a measurement of distribution
width, and is defined as the ratio of (D[v,0.9]-D[v,0.1])/D[v,0.5]
or (D90-D10)/D50.
[0119] The distribution width may also be characterized by citing
one, two or preferably three values on the x-axis, typically some
combination of the D10, D50, and D90. The D50, the median, has been
defined above as the diameter where half of the population lies
below this value. Similarly, 90 percent of the distribution lies
below the D90, and 10 percent of the population lies below the
D10.
[0120] The term D[4,3] refers to the volume mean or mass moment
mean. Laser diffraction results are reported on a volume basis and
the volume mean can be used to define the central point of the
distribution. The D[4,3] value is sensitive to the presence of
large particles in the distribution.
Formulation
[0121] The present invention also relates to pharmaceutical
compositions comprising the free base polymorph Form A of compound
1 described herein. Pharmaceutical compositions of the present
invention may, for example, be in a form suitable for oral
administration as a tablet, capsule, pill, powder, sustained
release formulations, solution, suspension, for parenteral
injection as a sterile solution, suspension or emulsion, for
topical administration as an ointment or cream or for rectal
administration as a suppository. The pharmaceutical composition may
be in unit dosage forms suitable for single administration of
precise dosages. The pharmaceutical composition will include a
conventional pharmaceutical carrier or excipient and a compound
according to the invention as an active ingredient. In addition, it
may include other medicinal or pharmaceutical agents, carriers,
adjuvants, etc.
[0122] Suitable pharmaceutical carriers include inert diluents or
fillers, water and various organic solvents. The pharmaceutical
compositions may, if desired, contain additional ingredients such
as flavorings, binders, excipients and the like. Thus for oral
administration, tablets containing various excipients, such as
citric acid may be employed together with various disintegrants
such as starch, alginic acid and certain complex silicates and with
binding agents such as sucrose, gelatin and acacia. Additionally,
lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl
sulfate and talc are often useful for tableting purposes. Solid
compositions of a similar type may also be employed in soft and
hard filled gelatin capsules. Preferred materials include lactose
or milk sugar and high molecular weight polyethylene glycols. When
aqueous suspensions or elixirs are desired for oral administration
the active compound therein may be combined with various sweetening
or flavoring agents, coloring matters or dyes and, if desired,
emulsifying agents or suspending agents, together with diluents
such as water, ethanol, propylene glycol, glycerin, or combinations
thereof.
[0123] Methods of preparing various pharmaceutical compositions
with a specific amount of active compound are known, or will be
apparent, to those skilled in this art. For examples, see
Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Company,
Easter, Pa., 15th Edition (1975).
[0124] The disclosed compound may be administered alone or in
combination with other drugs and will generally be administered as
a formulation in association with one or more pharmaceutically
acceptable excipients. The term "excipient" describes any
ingredient other than compound 1 and its salts. The choice of
excipient will to a large extent depend on the particular mode of
administration.
[0125] The disclosed compounds may be administered orally. Oral
administration may involve swallowing, so that the compound enters
the gastrointestinal tract, or buccal or sublingual administration
may be employed by which the compound enters the blood stream
directly from the mouth.
[0126] Formulations suitable for oral administration include solid
formulations such as tablets, capsules containing particulates,
liquids, or powders, lozenges (including liquid-filled), chews,
multi- and nano-particulates, gels, solid solution, liposome, films
(including muco-adhesive), ovules, sprays and liquid formulations.
Liquid formulations include suspensions, solutions, syrups and
elixirs. Such formulations may be employed as fillers in soft or
hard capsules and typically comprise a carrier, for example, water,
EtOH, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, methylcellulose, or a
suitable oil, and one or more emulsifying agents and/or suspending
agents. Liquid formulations may also be prepared by the
reconstitution of a solid, for example, from a sachet.
[0127] The disclosed compounds may also be used in fast-dissolving,
fast-disintegrating dosage forms such as those described in Liang

[0128] For tablet dosage forms, depending on dose, the drug may
make up from 1 wt % to 80 wt % of the dosage form, more typically
from 5 wt % to 60 wt % of the dosage form. In addition to the drug,
tablets generally contain a disintegrant. Examples of disintegrants
include sodium starch glycolate, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose,
calcium carboxymethyl cellulose, croscarmellose sodium,
crospovidone, polyvinylpyrrolidone, methylcellulose,
microcrystalline cellulose, lower alkyl-substituted hydroxypropyl
cellulose, starch, pregelatinized starch, and sodium alginate.
Generally, the disintegrant will comprise from 1 wt % to 25 wt %,
preferably from 5 wt % to 20 wt % of the dosage form.
[0129] Binders are generally used to impart cohesive qualities to a
tablet formulation. Suitable binders include microcrystalline
cellulose, gelatin, sugars, polyethylene glycol, natural and
synthetic gums, polyvinylpyrrolidone, pregelatinized starch,
hydroxypropyl cellulose, and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. Tablets
may also contain diluents, such as lactose (monohydrate,
spray-dried monohydrate, anhydrous and the like), mannitol,
xylitol, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, microcrystalline cellulose,
starch, and dibasic calcium phosphate dihydrate.
[0130] Tablets may also optionally include surface-active agents,
such as sodium lauryl sulfate and polysorbate 80, and glidants such
as silicon dioxide and talc. When present, surface-active agents
may comprise from 0.2 wt % to 5 wt % of the tablet, and glidants
may comprise from 0.2 wt % to 1 wt % of the tablet.
[0131] Tablets also generally contain lubricants such as magnesium
stearate, calcium stearate, zinc stearate, sodium stearyl fumarate,
and mixtures of magnesium stearate with sodium lauryl sulfate.
Lubricants generally comprise from 0.25 wt % to 10 wt %, preferably
from 0.5 wt % to 3 wt % of the tablet. Other ingredients may
include preservatives, anti-oxidants, flavors, and colorants.
[0132] Tablet blends may be directly compressed to form tablets.
Tablet blends or portions of blends may alternatively be wet-,
dry-, or melt-granulated, melt congealed, or extruded before
tabletting. The final formulation may comprise one or more layers
and may be coated or uncoated. Exemplary tablets contain up to
about 80% drug, from about 10 wt % to about 90 wt % binder, from
about 0 wt % to about 85 wt % diluent, from about 2 wt % to about
10 wt % disintegrant, and from about 0.25 wt % to about 10 wt %
lubricant. For additional details concerning the formulation of
tablets, see H. Lieberman and L. Lachman, Pharmaceutical Dosage
Forms: Tablets, Vol. 1 (1980).
[0133] Solid formulations for oral administration may be formulated
to be immediate and/or modified release. Modified release
formulations include delayed-, sustained-, pulsed-, controlled-,
targeted-, and programmed-release. For a general description of
suitable modified release formulations, see U.S. Pat. No.
6,106,864. For details of other useful release technologies, such
as high energy dispersions and osmotic and coated particles, see
Verma et al, Pharmaceutical Technology On-line (2001) 25(2):1-14.
For a discussion of the use of chewing gum to achieve controlled
release, see WO 00/35298.
[0134] The disclosed compounds may also be administered directly
into the blood stream, into muscle, or into an internal organ.
Suitable means for parenteral administration include intravenous,
intra-arterial, intraperitoneal, intrathecal, intraventricular,
intraurethral, intrasternal, intracranial, intramuscular, and
subcutaneous. Suitable devices for parenteral administration
include needle (including micro-needle) injectors, needle-free
injectors and infusion techniques.
[0135] Parenteral formulations are typically aqueous solutions
which may contain excipients such as salts, carbohydrates, and
buffering agents (preferably to a pH of from 3 to 9), but for some
applications, they may be more suitably formulated as a sterile
non-aqueous solution or as a dried form to be used in conjunction
with a suitable vehicle such as sterile, pyrogen-free water. The
preparation of parenteral formulations under sterile conditions,
for example, by lyophilization, may readily be accomplished using
standard pharmaceutical techniques well known to those skilled in
the art. Exemplary parenteral administration forms include
solutions or suspensions of active compounds in sterile aqueous
solutions, for example, aqueous propylene glycol or dextrose
solutions. Such dosage forms can be suitably buffered, if
desired.
[0136] The solubility of the disclosed compounds used in the
preparation of parenteral solutions may be increased by the use of
appropriate formulation techniques, such as the incorporation of
solubility-enhancing agents. Formulations for parenteral
administration may be formulated to be immediate and/or modified
release as described above. Thus the disclosed compounds may be
formulated in a more solid form for administration as an implanted
depot providing long-term release of the active compound.
[0137] The compounds of the invention may also be administered
topically to the skin or mucosa, either dermally or transdermally.
Typical formulations for this purpose include gels, hydrogels,
lotions, solutions, creams, ointments, dusting powders, dressings,
foams, films, skin patches, wafers, implants, sponges, fibers,
bandages, and microemulsions. Liposomes may also be used. Typical
carriers include alcohol, water, mineral oil, liquid petrolatum,
white petrolatum, glycerin, polyethylene glycol and propylene
glycol. Topical formulations may also include penetration
enhancers. See, for example, Finnin and Morgan, J Pharm Sci (1999)
88(10):955-958.
[0138] Other means of topical administration include delivery by
iontophoresis, electroporation, phonophoresis, sonophoresis and
needle-free (e.g. POWDERJECT) or micro-needle injection.
Formulations for topical administration may be formulated to be
immediate and/or modified release as described above.
[0139] The disclosed compounds can also be administered
intranasally or by inhalation, typically in the form of a dry
powder (either alone, as a mixture, for example, in a dry blend
with lactose, or as a mixed component particle, for example, mixed
with phospholipids) from a dry powder inhaler or as an aerosol
spray from a pressurized container, pump, spray, atomizer
(preferably an atomizer using electrohydrodynamics to produce a
fine mist), or nebulizer, with or without the use of a suitable
propellant, such as dichlorofluoromethane. The pressurized
container, pump, spray, atomizer, or nebulizer contains a solution
or suspension, which comprises the active compound, an agent for
dispersing, solubilizing, or extending release of the active
compound (e.g., EtOH or aqueous EtOH), one or more solvents, which
serve as a propellant, and an optional surfactant, such as sorbitan
trioleate or an oligolactic acid.
[0140] Prior to use in a dry powder or suspension formulation, the
drug product is micronized to a size suitable for delivery by
inhalation (typically less than 5 microns). This may be achieved by
any appropriate comminuting method, such as spiral jet milling,
fluid bed jet milling, supercritical fluid processing to form
nanoparticles, high pressure homogenization, or spray drying.
[0141] Capsules, blisters and cartridges (made, for example, from
gelatin or hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose) for use in an inhaler or
insufflator may be formulated to contain a powder mix of the active
compound, a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch, and a
performance modifier such as L-leucine, mannitol, or magnesium
stearate. The lactose may be anhydrous or, preferably,
monohydrated. Other suitable excipients include dextran, glucose,
maltose, sorbitol, xylitol, fructose, sucrose and trehalose.
[0142] A suitable solution formulation for use in an atomizer using
electrohydrodynamics to produce a fine mist may contain from 1
.mu.g to 20 mg of the compound of the invention per actuation and
the actuation volume may vary from 1 .mu.l to 100 .mu.l. A typical
formulation may comprise compound 1, propylene glycol, sterile
water, EtOH, and NaCl. Alternative solvents, which may be used
instead of propylene glycol, include glycerol and polyethylene
glycol.
[0143] Formulations for inhaled/intranasal administration may be
formulated to be immediate and/or modified release using, for
example, poly(DL-lactic-coglycolic acid (PGLA). Suitable flavors,
such as menthol and levomenthol, or sweeteners, such as saccharin
or saccharin sodium, may be added to formulations intended for
inhaled/intranasal administration.
[0144] In the case of dry powder inhalers and aerosols, the dosage
unit is determined by means of a valve that delivers a metered
amount. Units in accordance with the invention are typically
arranged to administer a metered dose or "puff" containing from 100
to 1000 .mu.g of the active pharmaceutical ingredient. The overall
daily dose will typically be in the range 100 .mu.g to 10 mg which
may be administered in a single dose or, more usually, as divided
doses throughout the day.
[0145] The active compounds may be administered rectally or
vaginally, for example, in the form of a suppository, pessary, or
enema. Cocoa butter is a traditional suppository base, but various
alternatives may be used as appropriate. Formulations for
rectal/vaginal administration may be formulated to be immediate
and/or modified release as described above.
[0146] The disclosed compounds may also be administered directly to
the eye or ear, typically in the form of drops of a micronized
suspension or solution in isotonic, pH-adjusted, sterile saline.
Other formulations suitable for ocular and aural administration
include ointments, biodegradable (e.g. absorbable gel sponges,
collagen) and non-biodegradable (e.g. silicone) implants, wafers,
lenses and particulate or vesicular systems, such as niosomes or
liposomes. A polymer such as crossed-linked polyacrylic acid,
polyvinylalcohol, hyaluronic acid, a cellulosic polymer (e.g.,
hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, or methyl
cellulose), or a heteropolysaccharide polymer (e.g., gelan gum),
may be incorporated together with a preservative, such as
benzalkonium chloride. Such formulations may also be delivered by
iontophoresis. Formulations for ocular/andial administration may be
formulated to be immediate and/or modified release as described
above.
[0147] The disclosed compounds may be combined with soluble
macromolecular entities such as cyclodextrin or polyethylene
glycol-containing polymers to improve their solubility, dissolution
rate, taste masking, bioavailability and/or stability.
Drug-cyclodextrin complexes, for example, are found to be generally
useful for most dosage forms and administration routes. Both
inclusion and non-inclusion-complexes may be used. As an
alternative to direct complexation with the drug, the cyclodextrin
may be used as an auxiliary additive, i.e. as a carrier, diluent,
or solubilizer. Alpha-, beta- and gamma-cyclodextrins are commonly
used for these purposes.
[0148] See, for example, International Patent Applications WO
91/11172, WO 94/02518, and WO 98/55148.
[0149] The therapeutically effective dose of compound 1 will vary
from approximately 0.01 mg/kg to approximately 100 mg/kg of body
weight per day. Typical adult doses will be approximately 0.1 mg to
approximately 3000 mg per day. The quantity of active component in
a unit dose preparation may be varied or adjusted from
approximately 0.1 mg to approximately 500 mg, preferably from about
0.6 mg to 100 mg according to the particular application and the
potency of the active component. The composition can, if desired,
also contain other compatible therapeutic agents. A subject in need
of treatment is administered a dosage of about 0.6 to about 500 mg
per day, either singly or in multiple doses over a 24-hour period.
Such treatment may be repeated at successive intervals for as long
as necessary.
[0150] Disorders or conditions caused by abnormal cell
proliferation include cancer and vascular smooth muscle
proliferation associated with atherosclerosis, post-surgical
vascular stenosis and restenosis, and endometriosis. Autoimmune
diseases include psoriasis, inflammation-like rheumatoid arthritis,
lupus, type 1 diabetes, diabetic nephropathy, multiple sclerosis,
glomerulonephritis, and organ transplant rejection, including host
versus graft disease.
[0151] In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method
of treating abnormal cell growth in a mammal, including a human, in
need of such treatment comprising, administering to said mammal a
therapeutically effective amount of a crystalline free base of
compound 1 according to the invention described herein. In frequent
embodiments, the free base is a polymorph of Form A.
[0152] In another embodiment, the abnormal cell growth is cancer,
including both solid tumors and hematological malignancies. In some
such embodiments, the cancer is selected from breast cancer,
ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, prostate
cancer, testicular cancer, pancreatic cancer, esophageal cancer,
head and neck cancer, gastric cancer, bladder cancer, lung cancer
(e.g., adenocarcinoma, NSCLC and SCLC), bone cancer (e.g.,
osteosarcoma), colon cancer, rectal cancer, thyroid cancer, brain
and central nervous system cancers, glioblastoma, neuroblastoma,
neuroendocrine cancer, rhabdoid cancer, keratoacanthoma, epidermoid
carcinoma, seminoma, melanoma, sarcoma (e.g., liposarcoma), bladder
cancer, liver cancer (e.g., hepatocellular carcinoma), kidney
cancer (e.g., renal cell carcinoma), myeloid disorders (e.g., AML,
CML, myelodysplastic syndrome and promyelocytic leukemia), and
lymphoid disorders (e.g., leukemia, multiple myeloma, mantle cell
lymphoma, ALL, CLL, B-cell lymphoma, T-cell lymphoma, Hodgkin's
lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, hairy cell lymphoma).

##STR00003## ##STR00004##
[0154] The examples and preparations provided below further
illustrate and exemplify particular aspects of embodiments of the
invention. It is to be understood that the scope of the present
invention is not limited in any way by the scope of the following
examples.
EXAMPLES
General Methods and Materials
Powder X-Ray Diffraction (PXRD)
[0155] PXRD data were collected according to the following
protocol. A sample (2 mg) was placed on a microscopic slide with
zero background. The sample was then placed in a Discover D8
(Bruker AXS Instruments) equipped with a GADDS detector. The system
used a copper X-ray source maintained at 40 kV and 40 mA to provide
CU.alpha.1 emission at 1.5406 angstroms. Data were collected from 4
to 40.degree. 2.theta. using a step scan of 0.02.degree. with a
step time of 60.1 seconds. Diffraction peaks are typically measured
with an error of .+-.0.2 degrees (2.theta.).
SSNMR Instrumentation and Method
[0156] SSNMR data were collected according to the following
protocol. Spectra were collected on Bruker-Biospin 4 mm and 7 mm BL
CPMAS probe positioned into a wide-bore Bruker-Biospin Avance III
500 MHz NMR spectrometer. The 4 mm rotors were oriented at the
magic angle and spun at 15.0 kHz. The 7 mm rotors were oriented at
the magic angle and spun at 7.0 kHz. All spectra were acquired at
ambient conditions (temperature uncontrolled).
[0157] The .sup.13C solid state spectra were collected using a
proton decoupled cross-polarization magic angle spinning (CPMAS)
experiment. Peak resonances are reported in parts-per-million
(ppm).+-.0.2 ppm.
Differential Scanning Calorimetery (DSC):
[0158] DSC measurements, are carried out using a Q1000, Thermal
Analysis Instruments. A sample is placed in a hermetically sealed
aluminum pan with a pinhole. A typical sample weight is 1.6 mg. The
sample is equilibrated to 25.degree. C. and then ramped to
250.degree. C. at a scan rate of 10.degree. C./min. Dry nitrogen is
used as the purge gas.
Brunauer, Emmet and Teller (BET) Specific Surface Area (SSA)
Measurement:
[0159] SSA measurements were collected according to the following
protocol. Monolayer formation of gas molecules on the crystal
surface was used to determine the specific surface area of a dry
powder of active pharmaceutical ingredient. The sample was made
free of moisture and atmospheric vapours by applying heat and
purging with nitrogen gas. The sample temperature was then reduced
to that of liquid nitrogen for the adsorbate gas (nitrogen) to be
adsorbed. The quantity of adsorbed gas and pressure data were used
to generate an adsorption isotherm plot. The data were then
converted into specific surface area value using a mathematical
algorithm based on the so-called Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET)
theory (see, e.g., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1938, 60:309). Specific
surface area was measured using a static multi-point or
single-point gas adsorption method, as fully described in ISO
9277:2010 and in the experimental below.
Inverse-Phase Gas Chromatography (IGC) Surface Energy
Measurement:
[0160] Surface energy measurements were collected using IGC
according to the following protocol. A sufficient quantity of
sample was packed into a silanised glass column with the powder
mass secured within the column by glass wool plugs inserted at both
ends. The column was conditioned by flowing a stream of dry
nitrogen through the powder mass for sufficient time for any
surface adsorbates to be removed. Measurements were made by
injecting a series of alkane vapour probes (Nonane, Octane, Heptane
and Hexane) into the carrier gas stream at concentrations low
enough to assume infinite dilution of the alkane vapour in the
nitrogen stream and recording the time taken for each vapour to
elute through the column. A plot of the retention time (corrected
for the `dead volume` of interstitial space within the packed
column) versus a function of the cross sectional area and surface
tension of the alkane vapour probe molecules used yielded a line
with a slope indicative of the surface energy of the solid powder
under examination.

60-65.degree. C. for a minimum of 12 hours.
[0163] Water (5 mL, 0.5 vol) was added slowly to the vessel at
60-65.degree. C. The mixture was kept at 60-65.degree. C. for one
hour, then cooled to room temperature. The slurry was kept at
20-25.degree. C. for 1 hour and then filtered onto a #2 Whatman.TM.
paper filter. The cake was rinsed with water (50 mL, 5 vol.). The
crude solids were collected and transferred back to a clean
vessel.
[0164] Water (100 mL, 10 vol.) was added to the vessel containing
the solids and the mixture was warmed to 35-40.degree. C. for 2
hours, then filtered while warm onto a #2 Whatman Paper.TM. filter.
The solids were rinsed with water (40 mL, 4 vol.) and allowed to
dry overnight in the vacuum oven at 50-55.degree. C. The
4-(6-nitro-pyridin-3-yl)-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl
ester was isolated as a yellow solid (14.1 g collected; .about.93%
yield).
Step B. Preparation of
4-(6-amino-pyridin-3-yl)-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl
ester
[0165] To a vessel was added
4-(6-nitro-pyridin-3-yl)-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl
ester (12.0 g, 1.0 equiv.) along with ethyl acetate (48 mL, 4.0
vol.). To the slurry was added 50% water wet 5% Pd/C (480 mg, 4%
w/w) and the vessel was purged three times with nitrogen. The
vessel was purged three times with hydrogen and then pressurized to
50 psi hydrogen. The mixture was heated to 42-47.degree. C. and
allowed to stir until hydrogen uptake ceased (at least 8
hours).
[0166] The product mixture was filtered and washed with ethyl
acetate (2.times.1.5 mL). The combined filtrate was concentrated
under reduced pressure to a volume of 6 mL (2 vol.). To the
solution was added n-heptane (54 mL, 4.5 vol.) and the mixture was
distilled under reduced pressure to a volume of 6 mL (2 vol.). To
the solution was added n-heptane (54 mL, 4.5 vol.). The resulting
thick slurry was cooled to 20-25.degree. C. and allowed to stir for
2 hours. The slurry was filtered and the filter cake washed with
n-heptane (36 mL, 3 vol.). The solids were allowed to dry overnight
in a vacuum oven at 50-55.degree. C. The
4-(6-amino-pyridin-3-yl)-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl

Preparation of
6-bromo-2-chloro-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-8H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one
##STR00006##
[0167] Step A. Preparation of
5-bromo-2-chloro-6-cyclopentylamino-pyrimidine
[0168] To a vessel was added absolute ethanol (3000 mL, 3.0 vol)
followed by 5-bromo-2,4-dichloropyrimidine (mw 227.87; 1000 g, 1.0
equiv.). Triethylamine (612 mL, 1.0 equiv.) was added, and then
cyclopentylamine (mw 85.15; 520 mL, 1.2 equiv.) was added slowly
over 2 hours to control the mild exotherm. After completion of
cyclopentylamine addition, the reaction was seeded with
5-bromo-2-chloro-6-cyclopentylamino-pyrimidine (5 g, 0.5 wt %) to
induce crystallization, if needed. The reaction was stirred at
25.degree. C. for 2 hours.
[0169] Water (2500 mL, 2.5 vol) was added to the vessel at
20-25.degree. C. at a rate of 30 mL/min. The mixture was cooled to
8-12.degree. C. at 2.degree. C./min. The slurry was kept at
8-12.degree. C. for 1 hour and then filtered onto a #2 Whatman.TM.
paper filter. The cake was rinsed with n-heptane (2000 mL). The
cake was reslurried with n-heptane on the filter drier (2000 mL).
The material was dried overnight in the vacuum oven at
50-55.degree. C. to give
5-bromo-2-chloro-6-cyclopentylamino-pyrimidine (1020 g; 84%) as a
white solid.
Step B. Preparation of
2-chloro-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-8H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one
[0170] To a vessel was added
5-bromo-2-chloro-6-cyclopentylamino-pyridimidine (10.0 g, 1.0
equiv.) along with N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) (50 mL, 5.0 vol.) at
ambient temperature. To the reaction mixture was added crotonic
acid (4.7 g, 1.5 equiv.) and triethylamine (20.2 mL, 4.0 equiv.).
The vessel was degassed and purged three times with nitrogen. To
the degassed reaction mixture was added Pd(OAc).sub.2 (0.25 g, 0.03
equiv.). The vessel was degassed and purged three times with
nitrogen using the same method as step 3. The mixture was heated to
65.degree. C. and allowed to stir until starting material was
consumed (at least 6 hours).
[0171] Acetic anhydride (6.8 mL, 2.0 equiv) was added to the
reaction mixture. The reaction was allowed to react at 65.degree.
C. until starting material was consumed (usually 1-2 hours).
[0172] The reaction mixture was cooled to 20.degree. C. and
H.sub.2O (100 mL, 10 vol) was added to dissolve triethylamineHBr
salts and precipitate out
2-chloro-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-8H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one.
The material was granulated at 20.degree. C. for 1 hour. The solids
were filtered and washed with H.sub.2O (20 mL, 2.0 vol), and a 4:1
mixture of isopropanol/H.sub.2O (50 mL, 5.0 vol). The crude product
was dried under vacuum at 55-70.degree. C. to give
2-chloro-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-8H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one,
(7.8 g; 81%) as a tan to gray solid.
Step C. Preparation of
6-bromo-2-chloro-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-8H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one
[0173] To a glass lined vessel was added
2-chloro-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-8H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one
(9.35 g, 1.0 equiv.) along with acetonitrile (65 mL, 7.0 vol).
N-Bromosuccinimide (9.67 g, 1.5 equiv.) and oxalic acid (0.65 g,
0.2 equiv.) were added. The reaction mixture was heated to
60.+-.5.degree. C. The reaction was stirred at 60.degree. C. until
starting material was consumed (at least 6 hours). The slurry was
cooled to 20.degree. C. and H.sub.2O (9 mL, 1 vol) was added. To
the slurry was added a solution of sodium bisulfite (3.88 g, 1.0
equiv) in H.sub.2O (38 mL, 4 vol). The slurry was granulated for 1
hour, then filtered directly onto a #2 Whatman paper filter. The
reaction vessel was washed with water (19 mL, 2 vol) followed by a
7:3 mix of methanol/acetonitrile (28 mL, 3 vol), and the washes
were transferred onto the filter cake. The product was dried in the
vacuum oven at 50-55.degree. C.
6-Bromo-2-chloro-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-8H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one
(10.52 g; 87%) was isolated as a pale yellow solid.
[0174] The product was further purified by recrystallization from
toluene and n-heptanes. Toluene (60 mL, 6 vol) and
6-bromo-2-chloro-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-8H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one
(10.00 g, 1 equiv) were added to a reaction vessel and heated to
80.degree. C. The warm reaction mixture was filtered through an
appropriate cartridge to ensure the removal of insoluble Pd and
other insoluble contaminants. The filter cartridge was washed with
80.degree. C. toluene (5 mL, 0.5 vol). The slurry was cooled to
25.degree. C. at 1.degree. C./min. n-Heptane (70 mL, 7 vol) was
added to the reaction slurry at 1 mL/min. The slurry was further
cooled to 0.degree. C. at 1.degree. C./min. The slurry was
granulated at 0.degree. C. for at least 1 hour.
[0175] The slurry was filtered directly onto a #2 Whatman paper
filter. n-Heptane (30 mL, 3 vol) was charged to the reaction vessel
and the wash was transferred onto the filter cake and the product
was dried in the vacuum oven at 50-55.degree. C.
6-Bromo-2-chloro-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-8H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one
(8.73 g, 87%) was isolated as a cream colored solid. .sup.1H NMR

mixture was cooled to 80.degree. C. and sampled to monitor reaction
completion. Following completion, water (15 mL, 1.5 mL/g) and
1-butanol (30 mL, 3 mL/g) were added.
[0182] The solution was filtered through a 0.45 micron filter to
remove precipitated palladium. Water (35 mL, 3.5 mL/g) was added,
followed by 1,2 diaminopropane (6.3 g, 0.085 moles, 5.0 eq). The
mixture was stirred at 70.degree. C. for at least 30 minutes. The
agitation was stopped and the mixture was allowed to settle for 15
minutes. The bottom aqueous phase was separated off and the mixture
was cooled to 60.degree. C. over 30 minutes. The mixture was seeded

[0184] The intermediate butoxyl-vinyl ether may be isolated in one
of several polymorphic forms. Form A was isolated as the kinetic
product in the absence of seeding, while Form B was isolated in a
few cases but is rarely observed. The most stable crystalline form
of the butoxyl-vinyl ether, Form C, was obtained by seeding the
reaction mixture with Form C crystals. Any of these polymorphic
forms may be utilized in the preparation of Compound 1 free base,
but polymorph Form C of the butoxyl-vinyl ether is preferred for
ease of filterability.
[0185] PXRD data for polymorph Forms A, B and C of the intermediate

acid tert-butyl ester (2.70 kg, 4.47 mol, 1.0 equiv.) followed by a
mixture of water (27.00 L, 10 L/kg) and acetone (13.50 L, 5 L/kg).
The yellow slurry was warmed to between 50.degree. C. and
55.degree. C. A solution of methanesulfonic acid (2.15 kg, 22.36
mol, 5.0 eq.) diluted with water (5.40 L, 2 L/kg of starting
material) and acetone (5.40 L, 2 L/kg of starting material) was
added to the reactor over approximately 10 minutes. The reaction
mixture was kept between 45.degree. C. and 55.degree. C. for at
least 12 hours. A clear yellow solution was achieved during the
reaction.
[0188] The reaction mixture was cooled to 35.degree. C., and a
mixture of 5 wt % sodium hydroxide solution was added in portions
to the reactor to raise the reaction mixture to a pH>9. The
reactor was cooled to between 20.degree. C. and 25.degree. C.,
granulated, and filtered. The cake was washed with water followed
by acetone and dried under vacuum.
[0189] This method generated the small primary particle size free
base of compound 1, which was equivalent to the material prepared
from treatment of the compound 1 hydrochloride salt with aqueous
NaOH in Example 4 of WO 2005/005426.
[0190] In addition to the representative procedure provided above
(corresponding to Experiment S in Table 10), a range of acids and
aqueous solvent systems were screened to determine the impact on
the reaction and subsequent quench and isolation of free base of
compound 1. Lab-scale screening experiments were run to identify
reaction conditions for converting the intermediate vinyl ether to
the free base compound 1. The results of these reaction screening
experiments are summarized in Table 10, indicating the generality
of the method.

1-butanol (320 ml, 16 ml/g) and anisole (480 ml, 24 ml/g). The
yellow slurry was warmed to between 95.degree. C. and 100.degree.
C. to achieve dissolution. The reactor was cooled to 80.degree. C.
To the solution in the reactor, a seed slurry containing compound 1
free base (Form A) seed crystals (0.1 g, 0.2 mmol, 0.005 eq.)
suspended in 1-butanol (5 mL, 0.25 mL/g of starting material) was

C. at 0.2.degree. C./min over 350 minutes, granulated, and
filtered. The cake was washed with anisole followed by heptane, and
dried under vacuum.

[0195] To a reactor was added water (200 mL, 10 mL/g) and
4-{6-[6-(1-butoxyl-vinyl)-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-7-oxo-7,8-dihydropyrido[-
2,3-d]pyrimidin-2-ylamino]-pyridin-3-yl}-piperazine-1-carboxylic
acid tert-butyl ester (20 g, 33.1 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) followed by
1-BuOH (232 mL, 11.6 mL/g) to rinse any solids down into reactor.
The yellow slurry was warmed to 70.degree. C. A two-liquid phase
mixture formed. Concentrated HCl solution (16.3 g, 165.5 mmol, 5.0
eq.) was added to the reactor over approximately 10 minutes. The
reaction mixture was kept at 70.degree. C. for 4 to 6 hours. A
clear yellow biphasic solution was achieved after 3 hours.
[0196] To the reaction mixture was added anisole (356 mL, 17.8
mL/g). While maintaining the mixture at 70.degree. C., a solution
of aq. NaOH (17.2 g, 172.1 mmol, 5.2 eq.) (40 wt % solution) was
added to the reactor over 20 minutes to raise the reaction mixture
to a pH>10. The two-phase mixture was stirred for 30 minutes
after the NaOH addition was complete.
[0197] The phases were separated and the organic phase was washed
with water twice. The batch was then heated to 80.degree. C. and
speck-free filtered into the crystallizing vessel, rinsing the
filter with butanol. The batch was then distilled to remove water
and achieve a temperature of 120.degree. C. The batch was then
cooled to 80.degree. C. and seeded with a seed slurry of compound 1
free base (Form A) seed crystals (0.015 g, 0.033 mmol, 0.1 wt. %
wrt compound 1) and 1-BuOH (10 mL, 0.5 mL/g). The batch was then
cooled to 30.degree. C. at 0.2.degree. C./min and then ripened with
three cycles where the temperature was stepped down by 10.degree.
C. each time. On the final cycle, the batch was cooled to
10.degree. C., granulated and filtered. The cake was washed with
twice with heptane and dried under vacuum. After drying, the sample
was confirmed to be a single crystalline polymorph Form A.

Powder X-Ray Diffraction (PXRD)
Experimental:
[0200] Powder Diffraction analysis was conducted using a Bruker D8
diffractometer equipped with a Cu radiation source, fixed slits
(divergence=1.0 mm, anti-scatter=0.6 mm, and receiving=0.6 mm) and
a scintillation counter detector. Data were collected in the
Theta-Theta goniometer at the Cu wavelength K.alpha..sub.1=1.54056
.ANG. from 3.0 to 40.0 degrees 2-Theta using a step size of 0.040
degrees and a step time of 2.0 second. X-ray tube voltage and
amperage were set at 40 kV and 40 mA respectively. Samples were
prepared by placement in a Nickel Disk (Gasser & Sons, Inc.
Commack, N.Y.) and rotated during data collection. Data were
collected and analyzed using Bruker DIFFRAC Plus software (Version
2.6). PXRD data files (.raw) were not processed prior to peak
searching. Generally, a Threshold value of 1 and a Width value of
0.3 were used to make preliminary peak assignments. The output of
automated assignments was visually checked to ensure validity and
adjustments manually made if necessary. Additionally, peaks were
manually assigned within spectra if appropriate.
SSNMR Experimental:
[0201] Carbon spectra on Form A were acquired on a 4 mm rotor for
2048 scans with recycle delay of 25 seconds and 2 ms of cross
polarization. 100 kHz of proton decoupling was applied during
acquisition. Carbon spectra on Form B were acquired on a 4 mm rotor
for 2048 scans for 128 scans were collected with recycle delay of
4.5 seconds with 2 ms of cross polarization. 70 kHz of proton
decoupling and total suppress of spinning sideband (TOSS) was
applied during acquisition.
Instrument Method:
[0202] Approximately 80 mg of sample were packed into a 4 mm
ZrO.sub.2 rotor. Spectra were collected at ambient temperature and
pressure on a Bruker-Biospin 4 mm CPMAS probe positioned into a
wide-bore Bruker-Biospin Avance III 500 MHz (.sup.1H frequency) NMR
spectrometer. The packed rotor was oriented at the magic angle and
spun at 15.0 kHz. The .sup.13C solid state spectra were collected
using a proton phase modulated decoupled cross-polarization magic
angle spinning (CPMAS) experiment. The cross-polarization contact
time was set to 2.0 ms. A proton decoupling field of approximately
100 kHz was applied during acquisition. The carbon spectrum of
compound 1 Form A was acquired for 512 scans with a 25 second
recycle delay. The spectrum is shown FIG. 2 and the data is
tabulated in Table 2. The carbon spectrum of compound 1 Form B was
acquired for 2048 scans with a 4.5 second recycle delay. The carbon
spectra were referenced using an external standard of crystalline
adamantane, setting its upfield resonance to 29.5 ppm. The spectrum
is shown FIG. 4 and the data is tabulated in Table 4.
Particle Size Analysis
[0203] The particle size was analyzed using the laser diffraction
(or small angle light scattering) technique by dispersing the dry
sample powder with compressed air. Specifically, the particle size
distribution was analyzed using the Sympatec HELOS RODOS system
equipped with a Vibri dry powder feeder. The powder sample was
dispersed with a dispersion pressure of 0.5 bar. In some instances,
an Aspiros micro-dosing device was used, and the powder sample was
dispersed with a dispersion pressure of 0.2 bar. A suitable lens
was selected to cover the particle size range of each sample.
Results
[0204] Comparative data for four batches of API are provided in
Table 11 below, using either the Vibri or Aspiros devices to
disperse the sample. Batch No. 4 had a D90 of around 75 .mu.m,
whereas Batch Nos. 1 and 2 both had a D90 of approximately 45
.mu.m. The laser diffraction particle size data confirms the SEM
observations for these batches.

Sticking Analysis
[0206] The MASS (Material Adhesion Screen for Sticking) Punch was
developed in-house to quantitatively assess the sticking propensity
of tablet formulations by weighing the amount of adhered powder on
removable punch tip after a series of compressions. This test
enables formulators to objectively and quickly evaluate the risk of
punch sticking during drug product development and troubleshoot
sticking observed during clinical tablet manufacturing.
[0207] To prepare the sample for MASS Punch testing, 10 g of API
was diluted in a lightly lubricated standard blend (10% API, 89.75%
Avicel PH102 and 0.25% magnesium stearate) and bottle blended (500
mL amber glass bottle) for 500 rotations. The weight of powder
adhered to the removable punch tip (1/2'' round flat faced) was
assessed using a microbalance periodically up to 100 compressions
of .about.250 mgW tablets at a target solid fraction of 0.85.
[0208] The MASS Punch profile for compound 1 free base mixed in the
standard blend showed a positive response. Photos of the punch tips
at the end of the compression runs confirmed that powder adhered to
the tips (data not shown). For reference, a control sample of the
standard blend is not sticky and would have less than 10 .mu.g
powdered adhered. The test method was found to rank the sticking
propensity of new API lots relative to those of known
materials.
Specific Surface Area (SSA) Measurement (BET Nitrogen)
Apparatus
[0209] Specific Surface Area (SSA) measurement (BET Nitrogen) were
determined using a Micromeritics TriStar II 3020 specific surface
area analyser together with Micromeritics SmartPrep station
(Micromeritics U.K. Ltd., Ste 2, The Stables Hexton Manor, Hexton,
Hertfordshire SG5 3JH, England). Samples were subjected to the
BET-nitrogen adsorption analysis to determine the specific surface
area of the samples.
Setup
[0210] Software version: TriStar II Confirm (1.03 or
equivalent)
Adsorbate: Nitrogen
[0211] Sample tube: 3/8'' mm flat bottom cell with glass filler

[0212] *The mass of sample varies according to the particle size of
the test sample. For samples where the particle size is relatively
small, approximately 0.50 g of material was required to 3/4 fill
the cell bulb, and where the particle size of the sample is
relatively large, 0.75 g of material was required to 3/4 fill the
cell bulb.
Calculations and Reportinq
[0213] The specific surface area was reported in the range
0.05-0.20 P/Po using 7 point BET from a triplicate determination.
The sample mass, specific surface area, BET constant (`C` value)
and correlation coefficient for each replicate were determined.
Results
[0214] Table 12 provides BET-N2 SSA for four batches of compound 1
free base API, one comprising the small primary particle size API
prepared by the traditional salt break method (batch 5), and three
batches comprising the large particle size API prepared according
to the present invention. Batch 5 contained compound 1 free base
having small primary particles and large agglomerates, which was
very static-prone and sticky. Batch 6 was prepared using
temperature cycling and had a typical particle size distribution
(PSD) for the large particle size free base of compound 1, with a
VMD of approximately 17 .mu.m. Batch 7 demonstrated a similar PSD
to batch 6. Batch 8 is a representative ICH batch of the large
particle size free base of compound 1, also prepared by temperature
cycling. The same batches were used in the surface energy
determinations below.

Inverse-Phase Gas Chromatography (IGC) Surface Energy
Measurement:
[0215] A sufficient quantity of sample was packed into a silanised
glass column with the powder mass secured within the column by
glass wool plugs inserted at both ends. The column was conditioned
by flowing a stream of dry nitrogen through the powder mass for
sufficient time for any surface adsorbates to be removed.
Measurements were made by injecting a series of alkane vapour
probes (Nonane, Octane, Heptane and Hexane) into the carrier gas
stream at concentrations low enough to assume infinite dilution of
the alkane vapour in the nitrogen stream and recording the time
taken for each vapour to elute through the column. A plot of the
retention time (corrected for the `dead volume` of interstitial
space within the packed column) versus a function of the cross
sectional area and surface tension of the alkane vapour probe
molecules used yields a line with a slope indicative of the surface
energy of the solid powder under examination.
