Description

Novel forms of 2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6-methylben2yl-- ino)-imidazo ( 1 ,2-a)pyridine-6-carboxamide
Field of the invention
The present invention relates to novel crystalline forms of 2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethy!-6- methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[i ,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxamide hydrochloride salt. Further, the present invention also relates to use of said compounds for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and processes for obtaining them.
Background of the invention and prior art
In the formulation of drug compositions, it is important for the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) to be in a form in which it can be conveniently handled and processed. This is of importance, not only from the point of view of obtaining a commercially viable manufacturing process, but also from the point of view of subsequent manufacture of pharmaceutical formulations (e.g. oral dosage forms such as tablets) comprising the active pharmaceutical ingredient.
Further, in the manufacture of oral drug compositions, it is important that a reliable, reproducible and constant plasma concentration profile of the active pharmaceutical ingredient is provided following administration to a patient.
Chemical stability, solid state stability, and "shelf life" of the active pharmaceutical ingredient are also very important factors. The active pharmaceutical ingredient, and compositions containing it, should be capable of being effectively stored over appreciable periods of time, without exhibiting a significant change in the physico-chemical characteristics of the active pharmaceutical ingredient, e.g. its chemical composition, density, hygroscopicity and solubility.
Amorphous, materials may present problems in this regard. For example, such materials are typically more difficult to handle and to formulate, provide for unreliable dissolution, and are often found to be more unstable.
Thus, in the manufacture of commercially viable and pharmaceutically acceptable drug compositions, it is important, wherever possible, to provide the active pharmaceutical ingredient in a substantially crystalline and stable form. International patent applications WO 99/55705 and WO 99/55706 discloses a number of compounds, referred to as imidazo pyridine derivatives, which are reversible acid pump inhibitors.
WO 99/55706 also contains a specific disclosure of the compound 2,3-dimethyl-8-(2- ethyl-6-methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxamide. A process for the synthesis of this compound is described in Example 1.4 of WO 99/55706, where the compound is crystallized from ethyl acetate.
WO 99/55706 contains no information about the corresponding hydrochloride salt of 2,3- Dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6-methylbenzylamino)-i.midazo[1 ,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxamide. WO 99/55706 does further not disclose how different crystal forms of 2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl- 6-methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxamide hydrochloride may be obtained and does not predict the properties of such crystal forms.

It is possible to crystallize 2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6-methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2- a]pyridine-6-carboxamide hydrochloride salts, i.e. the compounds of the present invention, in one single solvent or in a mixture of solvents. However, we prefer that the crystallization is from one single solvent.
Crystallization of compounds of the present invention from an appropriate solvent system, containing at least one solvent, may be achieved by attaining supersaturation in a solvent system by solvent evaporation, by temperature decrease, and/or via the addition of anti- solvent (i.e. a solvent in which the compounds of the invention are poorly soluble). Crystallization may also be initiated and/or effected with or without seeding with crystals of the appropriate crystalline compound of the invention.
Crystallization of compounds of the present invention can be achieved starting from pure 2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6-methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxamide hydrochloride salt of any form, or mixtures of any form.
Whether an anhydrate or a solvate crystallizes is related to the kinetics and equilibrium conditions of the respective forms at the specific conditions. Thus, as may be appreciated by the skilled person, the crystalline form that is obtained depends upon both the kinetics and the thermodynamics of the crystallization process. Under certain thermodynamic conditions (e.g. solvent system, temperature, pressure and concentration of compound of the invention), one crystalline form may be more stable than another (or indeed any other). However, crystalline forms that have a relatively low thermodynamic stability may be kinetically favored. Thus, in addition, kinetic factors, such as time, impurity profile, agitation, the presence or absence of seeds, etc. may also influence which form that crystallizes.
According to the invention there is further provided a process for the preparation of 2,3- dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6-methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxamide hydrochloride salt forms A to F.

The preparation and characterization of different forms of compounds of the invention are described hereinafter. Different crystalline forms of the compounds of the invention may be readily characterized using e.g. X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) methods or Raman spectroscopy.
In order to ensure that a particular crystalline form is prepared in the absence of other crystalline forms, crystallization is preferably carried out by seeding with seed crystals of the desired crystalline form. This applies particularly to each of the specific crystalline forms which are described in the Examples.
2,3-Dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6-methyibenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxamide hydrochloride salt form A is a crystalline form exhibiting advantageous properties, such as being well-defined, being thermodynamically more stable (and less hygroscopic) than other crystalline forms of 2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6-methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2- a]pyridine-6-carboxamide hydrochloride salt, especially at room temperature. Other crystalline forms of 2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6-methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2-a]pyridine- 6-carboxamide hydrochloride salt can under certain conditions, completely or partly, be converted into form A. 2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6-methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2- a]pyridine-6-carboxamide hydrochloride salt form A is thereby characterized in being thermodynamically more stable than other crystalline forms of 2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6- methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxamide hydrochloride salt. Other crystalline forms of 2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6-methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2-a]pyridine- 6-carboxamide hydrochloride salt can therefore be used as intermediates for the preparation of 2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6-methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2-a]pyridine-6- • carboxamide hydrochloride salt form A.
Examples of other forms of 2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6-methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2- a]pyridine-6-carboxamide hydrochloride salt include, but are not limited to, anhydrates, hydrates, solvates, amorphous forms, and other polymorphs, of which some may be more or less crystalline.

The term "substantially free from other crystal and non-crystal forms of 2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6- methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxamide hydrochloride salt" shall be understood to mean that the desired crystal form of 2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6- methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxamide hydrochloride salt contains less than 50%, preferably less than 10%, and more preferable less than 5% of any other forms of 2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6-methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2-a]pyridine-6- carboxamide hydrochloride salt.
In accordance with the invention, the compounds of the invention may be administered and used as described in WO 99/55705 and WO 99/55706, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
The compounds of the invention may be further processed before formulation into a suitable pharmaceutical formulation.

Examples
General Procedures
X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) analysis was performed on samples prepared according to standard methods, for example those described in Giacovazzo, C. et al (1995),
Fundamentals of Crystallography, Oxford University Press; Jenkins, R. and Snyder, R. L.
(1996), Introduction to X-Ray Powder Diffractometry, John Wiley & Sons, New York;
Bunn, C. W. (1948), Chemical Crystallography, Clarendon Press, London; or Klug, H. P.
& Alexander, L. E. (1974), X-ray Diffraction Procedures, John Wiley and Sons, New York. X-ray analyses were performed using a Siemens D5000 diffractometer and/or a Philips
X'Pert MPD. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was performed using a Mettler DSC820 instrument, according to standard methods, for example those described in Hδhne, G. W. H. et al (1996), Differential Scanning Calorimetry, Springer, Berlin.
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed using a Mettler Toledo TGA850 instrument.
DSC onset temperatures may vary in the range ±5°C (e.g. ±2°C), and XRPD distance values may vary in the range ±2 on the last decimal place. It should be understood that the d-values of X-ray powder diffraction pattern exhibits variation depending on e.g. equipment used, sample preparation, and operator. However the precision and repeatability of said technique is found to be high and thus X-ray powder diffraction pattern exhibiting substantially the same d-values should be obtained if repeated.
