Description

TECHNICAL FIELD



[0001] The present invention relates to a novel crystal of (3S)-3-[2-(6-amino-2-fluoropyridin-3-yl)-4-fluoro-1H-imidazol-5-yl]-7-[5-chloro-2-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)phenyl]-2,3-dihydroindolizin-5(1H)-one and others.

BACKGROUND ART



[0002] Thrombosis and thromboembolism which is a complication of thrombosis (hereinafter referred to as thromboembolic disease) are ranked high along with cancer as the cause of death of adults, and have become important problems in recent years. Thromboembolic disease occurs by the formation of a thrombus at a site of vascular injury. Alternatively, thromboembolic disease occurs when a thrombus is released and is carried by the blood stream into another blood vessel where the thrombus obstructs a blood vessel at another site. Thromboembolic disease includes, for example, venous thromboembolism which is a collective term for deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, cerebral stroke, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, other various arterial and venous thrombosis and the like.

[0003] Tissue factor expressed on a vascular wall due to the injury of a blood vessel and the like becomes the starting point of the blood coagulation cascade and forms a complex with blood coagulation factor VII which is present in blood in a very small quantity. This complex activates blood coagulation factor IX and blood coagulation factor X, and activated blood coagulation factor X converts prothrombin to thrombin. Thrombin converts fibrinogen to fibrin and finally insoluble fibrin is formed (the initial stage). It is supposed that thrombin produced in the process promotes the formation of a thrombus at the initial stage and is important for hemostasis. On the other hand, it has been reported that thrombin activates blood coagulation factor XI and causes explosive thrombin production via activated blood coagulation factor XI (hereinafter also referred to as FXIa) (the amplification stage), which results in an increase in thrombi (see Non Patent Literatures 1 to 3).

[0004] For the treatment and/or prevention of thromboembolic disease, anticoagulant agents are generally used. Though conventional anticoagulant agents exhibit excellent antithrombotic actions, bleeding complications, which are serious side effects, have been problematic. Alternatively, in order not to cause bleeding complications, the doses of the agents are limited and it is supposed that there is a possibility that the agents do not exhibit sufficient antithrombotic actions. Under such conditions, an agent for treating and/or preventing thrombosis and thromboembolism having a novel mechanism of action, which suppresses the growth of or increase in pathological thrombi and does not affect the formation of hemostatic thrombi, is required. As one of the targets of the agent, FXIa is attracting attention in recent years. Blood coagulation factor XI is one of plasma serine proteases which are involved in the regulation of blood coagulation and becomes FXIa by activated blood coagulation factor XII, thrombin or itself. FXIa is one of constituents of the blood coagulation pathway which is referred to as the intrinsic system or the contact system in the classical blood coagulation cascade and activates blood coagulation factor IX by selectively cleaving peptide bonds of Arg-Ala and Arg-Val. The safety of FXIa is supported by the observations that the blood coagulation factor XI deficiency in humans, which is called hemophilia C, results in mild to moderate bleeding characterized primarily by postoperative or posttraumatic hemorrhage. In addition, the effects and the high safety of FXIa are demonstrated by the experimental results of experimental thrombosis and bleeding models which used blood coagulation factor XI deficient mice and the experimental results of an anti-blood coagulation factor XI neutralizing antibody or an antisense in experimental thrombosis and bleeding models which used monkeys or rabbits, in addition to the results of observations of the blood coagulation factor XI deficiency in humans (see Non Patent Literatures 4 to 8).

[0005] Based on the above results, it is expected that FXIa is a very attractive target without exhibiting the side effect of bleeding when developing an antithrombotic agent for treatment and/or prevention and an FXIa inhibitor becomes a very potent and safe antithrombotic agent for treatment or prevention without having any undesirable side effects such as bleeding.

[0006] In Patent Literature 1, it is described that (3S)-3-[2-(6-amino-2-fluoropyridin-3-yl)-4-fluoro-1H-imidazol-5-yl]-7-[5-chloro-2-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)phenyl]-2,3-dihydroindolizin-5(1H)-one is a selective blood coagulation factor XIa inhibitor and is therefore useful as a therapeutic agent for thromboembolic diseases and the like.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION


TECHNICAL PROBLEMS



[0009] As an active ingredient for a pharmaceutical, a crystal which is easy to handle and is superior in hygroscopicity and oral absorption is desirable. The physical properties of (3S)-3-[2-(6-amino-2-fluoropyridin-3-yl)-4-fluoro-1H-imidazol-5-yl]-7-[5-chloro-2-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)phenyl]-2,3-dihydroindolizin-5(1H)-one disclosed in Patent Literature 1 are examined, and it is found that the crystallinity of a free form and a dihydrochloride of this compound are extremely poor. Furthermore, it is also found that, although the dihydrate can have a crystal form, the dihydrochloride shows high hygroscopicity and low oral absorption as mentioned below. In these situations, it has been demanded to produce a novel active pharmaceutical ingredient form (e.g., a salt, a solvate, a cocrystal) which can form a crystal thereof and is superior in handleability when used in a pharmaceutical. Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to form a crystal of a salt, a solvate or a cocrystal of (3S)-3-[2-(6-amino-2-fluoropyridin-3-yl)-4-fluoro-1H-imidazol-5-yl]-7-[5-chloro-2-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)phenyl]-2,3-dihydroindolizin-5(1H)-one and provide an active pharmaceutical ingredient form which is superior in low hygroscopicity and/or oral absorption.

[Examination about crystallization]



[0083] Examination about the crystallization of the compound of Example 1(10) was carried out. In the following examination, with respect to the experiment in which the optical isomerism did not affect results, the experiment was also carried out using the compound of Example 1(12) or Example 1(13).

[0084] Firstly, the possibility of crystallization of a salt of the compound of Example 1(10) was examined using the compound of Example 1(10).

[0085] The crystallization of salts of the compound of Example 1(10) was examined by a evaporative concentration method (heating: 40°C, evaporation: room temperature) with an automatic crystallization system ("Core Module (X)", manufactured by Freeslate) using 11 types of acids (hydrochloric acid (1 equivalent), sulfuric acid (1 equivalent), methanesulfonic acid (1 equivalent), 4-toluenesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid (1 equivalent), isethionic acid (1 equivalent), ethanedisulfonic acid (1/2 equivalent), 1,5-naphthalenedisulfonic acid (1/2 equivalent), cyclamic acid (1 equivalent), nitric acid (1 equivalent)) and using 12 types of solvents (methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, acetone, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), tetrahydrofuran, heptane, toluene, dichloromethane, water).

[0086] As the result of this examination, any crystal of the compound of Example 1(10) was not produced under the above-mentioned various conditions.

[0087] Next, the possibility of the crystallization of a free form (the compound of Example 1(10)) was examined.

[0088] The examination was carried out about the crystallization of a free form using the compound of Example 1(13), also using 51 types of solvents (methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, acetone, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), tetrahydrofuran, heptane, toluene, dichloromethane, water, 1, 4-dioxane, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, ethyl formate, methyl acetate, propyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, fluorobenzene, butyronitrile, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, diisopropyl ether, 1,2-dichloroethane, dimethyl carbonate, pyridine, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, tert-amyl alcohol, cyclohexane, triethylamine, 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol, octane, 2-hexanone, butyl acetate, cyclopentanone, 3-methyl-1-butanol, chlorobenzene, 2-ethoxyethanol, cumene, anisole, N,N-dimethylformamide, mesitylene, dimethylacetamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, ethylene glycol, formamide) and using an automatic crystallization system ("Core Module (X)", manufactured by Freeslate). As the crystallization method, three types of conditions, i.e., a slurry method (25°C and 40°C), a precipitation method (precipitation at room temperature) and an evaporative concentration method (heating at 40°C or 80°C, evaporation at room temperature), were preset, and the solvents and the crystallization methods were combined to set 576 kinds of crystallization conditions for each of the salts.

[0089] As the result of this examination, only a dihydrate (Example 1(13)) was obtained as a crystal of Example 1(12) which had satisfactory crystallinity. From this data, it was found that, with respect to the compound of Example 1(10) that was an enantiomer of the compound, only a dihydrate (Example 1(11)) was obtained as a crystal having satisfactory crystallinity, but the compound of Example 1(11) had high hygroscopicity and poor oral absorption as mentioned below and therefore could not be selected as an active ingredient for a pharmaceutical when being in an unmodified form.

[0090] Since no crystal which meets the problems could be obtained in the above-mentioned examination about salts and free forms, the examination about the crystallization of a cocrystal of the compound of Example 1(10) was further carried out as follows.

[0091] The possibility of crystallization of a cocrystal was examined using the compound of Example 1(13).

[0092] The crystallization of a cocrystal was examined using 60 types of reagents (oxalic acid, fumaric acid, adipic acid, L-tartaric acid, D-tartaric acid, benzoic acid, 2-hydroxybenzoic acid, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid, 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, saccharin, orotic acid, 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, L-pyroglutamic acid, D-pyroglutamic acid, benzamide, ethyl maltol, nicotinamide, glycolic acid, sorbic acid, L-camphoric acid, D-camphoric acid, urea, taurine, malonic acid, L-mandelic acid, D-mandelic acid, maleic acid, anthranilic acid, L-alanine, D-alanine, L-lactamide, D-lactamide, glycine, L-tryptophan, D-tryptophan, N-acetylglycine, L-valine, D-valine, ascorbic acid, citric acid, glutaric acid, erythorbic acid, galactaric acid, L-malic acid, D-malic acid, sorbitol, myo-inositol, glucuronic acid, sebacic acid, succinic acid, D-histidine), also using 6 types of solvents (methanol, acetone, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, toluene, dichloromethane) by an evaporative concentration method (heating at 40°C, evaporation at room temperature) with an automatic crystallization system ("Core Module (X)", manufactured by Freeslate).

[0093] As the result of this examination, crystals of only 4 types of counters, i.e., 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, nicotinamide and 3-hydroxybenzoic acid (also abbreviated as "RES", "GEN", "NIA" and "3HBA", hereinafter), were formed under the above-mentioned various conditions. With respect to 3HBA, 2 types of crystals were formed. As shown below, with respect to RES and GEN among the 4 types of counters, the problem of hygroscopicity was concerned from the physical property data of differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry. In contrast, with respect to each of NIA and 3HBA, there was no concern about this problem and therefore an S-configuration thereof was produced and was subjected to the following experiments.

[0101] In the present invention, the crystal form of each of a salt, a solvate and a cocrystal of (3S)-3-[2-(6-amino-2-fluoropyridin-3-yl)-4-fluoro-1H-imidazol-5-yl]-7-[5-chloro-2-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)phenyl]-2,3-dihydroindolizin-5(1H)-one is specified on the basis of the physical chemical data described in the description. However, it should be noted that each of the spectral data may vary slightly by its nature and therefore should not be interpreted strictly.

[0102] For example, with respect to powder X-ray diffraction spectrum data, by its nature, in the determination of crystal identification, a diffraction angle (2θ) or an overall pattern is important and a relative intensity may vary slightly depending on the direction of the growth of a crystal, the size of a grain and the conditions for measurement.

[0103] Similarly, with respect to DSC data, in the determination of crystal identification, an overall pattern is important and the data may vary slightly depending on the conditions for measurement.

[0104] Therefore, in the compounds of the present invention, those compounds which have similar powder X-ray diffraction spectra or DSC patterns to each other on the whole are included in the compounds of the present invention.

[0105] Each of a value for a diffraction angle (2θ (degree)) in a powder X-ray diffraction pattern and a value for a temperature (°C) in a DSC described in the description means that the value includes an error range that is generally acceptable in the data measurement method, and means that the value is approximately that diffraction angle or that temperature. For example, the wording "about" or "substantially the same" used in the expression of a diffraction angle (2θ (degree)) in powder X-ray diffraction means ±0.2 degrees in one aspect and ±0.1 degrees in another aspect. The wording "about" used in the expression of an onset temperature (°C) or an endothermic peak temperature (°C) in a DSC analysis means ±10°C in one aspect, ±5°C in another aspect, and ±2°C in still another aspect.

[0124] In general, for demonstrating that two components exist in the form of a cocrystal, it is required to show a requirement represented by the following formula are satisfied: a/b > 1.08 (Mol Pharm. 2007 May-Jun; 4(3):317-22) and/or ΔDc-o > 0.08Å (Mol Pharm. 2007 May-Jun; 4(3):323-38).

[0125] The values of a/b and ΔDc-o determined from the above-shown atomic coordinate tables are a/b ≈ 1.091 and ΔDc-o ≈ 0.208. Therefore, it is obvious that the compound of Example 1(10) and 3-hydroxybenzoic acid exist as a cocrystal.

[0126] Comparison is made between powder X-ray diffraction spectrum data converted from the single crystal X-ray structural analysis data and actually measured powder X-ray diffraction spectrum data of the compound of Example 5, and it is found that scattering peaks of these data match each other. Therefore, it is demonstrated that the compound of Example 5 is a cocrystal.

[0127] Furthermore, from the measurement results of solid 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR (CP/MAS) (CP: cross-polarization, MAS: magic-angle spinning) and 1H-13C CP-HETCOR (HETCOR: Heteronuclear Correlation Spectroscopy), it is also confirmed that the compound of Example 1(10) and 3-hydroxybenzoic acid exist as a cocrystal.

Physical Chemical Example 1: Evaluation of hygroscopicity



[0128] An isothermal absorption curve measurement (DVS) was carried out under the following conditions.

(Conditions)



[0129] 

Device: DVS Intrinsic, manufactured by SMS

Measurement temperature: 25°C

Measurement range: relative humidity of 0 to 95%

Interval of measurement: relative humidity of 5%

As the result of this evaluation, as shown in Fig. 16, the weight change rate of the compound of Example 5 in this evaluation was less than 1% and it was found that only a cocrystal of 3HBA had low hygroscopicity.


Physical Chemical Example 2: Evaluation of solubility



[0130] The measurement of solubility was carried out under the following conditions.

[0131] About 3 mg of each of the compounds of the present invention was weighed in a test tube, then a stirrer and 5 mL of each of an artificial intestinal juice (FaSSIF; Reference Document 1: Pharmaceutical Research, vol. 20, pp. 1674-1680, 2003; Reference Document 2: Biological & Pharmaceutical Bulletin, vol. 34, pp. 401-407, 2011) and JP 1st fluid which had been warmed to 37°C were added to the test tube, and then the test tube was sealed hermetically. The test tube was installed in a solubility test device (Gilson, Quad-Z 215), and the solution was stirred at 37°C and 700 rpm. After 0.25, 0.5, 1, 3, 6 and 24 hours, an aliquot of the solution in the test tube was collected. The collected solution was filtrated through a filter, and a filtrate was diluted two-folds with acetonitrile. A diluted solution of the artificial intestinal juice was centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 5 minutes, and a supernatant was used as a sample solution. A diluted solution of the JP 1st fluid was used as is as a sample solution. Solubility was calculated by a high-performance liquid chromatography method.

Physical Chemical Example 3: Evaluation of oral absorption



[0135] The measurement of oral absorption was carried out under the following conditions.

[Methods for preparation/administration and blood collection]



[0136] Suspensions of the compounds of Example 1(11), Example 4 and Example 5 were prepared. Each of the suspensions was prepared with a 0.5% aqueous methyl cellulose solution at a concentration of 0.33 mg/mL (in terms of free base content). Each of the suspensions was administered to monkeys (cynomolgus monkeys/male), which had been fasted since the day before, in the stomach thereof forcibly with a sonde. The amount of administration was adjusted depending on the body weight of each of the monkeys so that the dosage amount became 1 mg/kg.

[0137] After the administration of the suspensions (liquid pharmaceuticals), at the timing of 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 7 and 24 hours after the administration, blood (0.5 mL) was collected from the cephalic vein with a heparin-added syringe. The collected blood was centrifuged at 10000 G for 5 minutes to separate plasma from the blood. In the evaluation of the oral absorption of the test compounds, data obtained when the test compounds were administered intravenously at the same dose amounts (1 mg/kg) were employed. The oral absorption rate (%) was calculated by dividing an AUC (area under the blood concentration-time curve) value obtained in the oral administration by an AUC value obtained in the intravenous administration and then multiplying the resultant value by 100.

[Preparation/analysis of analysis samples]



[0138] Water/acetonitrile (19/1) (200 µL) and acetonitrile containing an internal standard substance (a structural analogue of the compound of Example 1(10)) (10 µL) were added to plasma (10 µL), and the resultant solution was stirred. The whole volume of the solution was added to Oasis HLB µElution Plate through which acetonitrile (200 µL) and purified water (200 µL) had been passed, and was then sucked under reduced pressure. Purified water (200 µL) was added to the solution, and the resultant solution was washed by sucking under reduced pressure. Acetonitrile (200 µL) was added to the solution, the resultant solution was sucked under reduced pressure, and an eluate was collected in a 96-well plate. The eluate (10 µL) was added to a 0.1% aqueous formic acid solution/acetonitrile (2/1) solution (290 µL), and the resultant solution was stirred and was then analyzed by LC/MS/MS.

[0139] The analysis by LC/MS/MS was carried out under the following conditions.
