Novel forms of 2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6-methylberιzylamh o)-inιidazo ( 1 ,2-a)pyridine-6-carboxamide
Field of the invention
The present invention relates to novel crystalline forms of 2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6- methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxamide mesylate 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.

WO 99/55706 discloses 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.
WO 99/55705 discloses the compound 2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6-methylbenzylamino)- imidazo[1 ,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxamide mesylate salt. 2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6- methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxamide mesylate salt is used as the starting material in Example 2.5 to produce the corresponding carboxylic acid by alkaline hydrolysis.
WO 99/55705 contains no information about the solid state properties of the mesylate salt compounds. WO 99/55705 does further not disclose how the different crystal forms of the mesylate salt compounds may be obtained and does not predict the properties of such crystal forms.

Description of the invention
It has surprisingly been found that 2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6-methylbenzylamino)-imidazo- [1 ,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxamide mesylate salt can exist in more than one crystal form. The compounds are hereinafter referred to as 2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6-methylbenzyIamino)- imidazo[1 ,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxamide mesylate salt forms A and A'.
It is thus an object of the present invention to provide crystalline forms of 2,3-dimethyl-8- (2-ethyl-6-methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxamide mesylate salt with advantageous properties.
It is an aspect of the present invention to provide 2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6- methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxamide mesylate salt form A.
2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6-methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxamide mesylate salt form A, according to the present invention, is characterized in providing an X-ray powder diffraction pattern, as in figure 1, exhibiting substantially the following d- values and intensities;
Figure imgf000004_0001
The peaks, identified with d-values calculated from the Bragg formula and intensities, have been extracted from the diffractogram of 2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6-methylbenzyl- amino)-imidazo[1 ,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxamide mesylate salt form A. The relative intensities are less reliable and instead of numerical values the following definitions are used;
% Relative Intensity* Definition

10-25 s (strong)
3-10 m (medium)
1-3 w (weak)
* The relative intensities are derived from d iff ractog rams measured with variable slits.
The definition above has also been used when identifying the peaks of 2,3-dimethyl-8-(2- ethyl-6-methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxamide mesylate salt form A', vide infra.
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) on form A showed a single melting endotherm with extrapolated onset of ca 300°C ( ca 135 J/g). TGA showed that decomposition starts at ca 250°C and that there is no weight loss up to this temperature.
2,3-Dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6-methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxamide mesylate salt form A is a crystalline form exhibiting advantageous properties, such as convenient handling as well as chemical and solid-state stability.
It is a further aspect of the present invention to provide 2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6- methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxamide mesylate salt form A'.
2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6-methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxamide mesylate salt form A', according to the present invention, is characterized in providing an X-ray powder diffraction pattern, as in figure 2, exhibiting substantially the following d- values and intensities;
Figure imgf000006_0001
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) on form A' showed a single melting endotherm with extrapolated onset of ca 297°C (ca 131 J/g).
2,3-Dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6-methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxamide mesylate salt form A' is a crystalline form exhibiting advantageous properties, such as convenient handling as well as chemical and solid-state stability.
It is possible to crystallize 2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6-methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2- a]pyridine-6-carboxamide mesylate 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 mesylate 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 mesylate salt forms A and A'.
2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6-methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxamide mesylate salt form A is obtained upon crystallization from ethanol.
2,3-dimethyl-8-(2-ethyl-6-methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxamide mesylate salt form A' is obtained upon crystallization from acetonitrile in the presence of methanol.
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-methylbenzylamino)-imidazo[1 ,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxamide mesylate salt forms A and A' obtained according to the present invention are 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 mesylate salt. 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 mesylate 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 mesylate 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 mesylate 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. For example, the crystalline form may be milled or ground into smaller particles.
According to a further aspect of the invention, there is provided a pharmaceutical formulation including a compound of the invention in admixture with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvant, diluent or carrier.
According to a further aspect of the invention there is provided a method of treatment of a condition where inhibition of gastric acid secretion is required or desired, which method includes administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention to a patient in need of such treatment.
For the avoidance of doubt, by "treatment" we include the therapeutic treatment, as well as the prophylaxis, of a condition.
The compounds of the invention have the advantage that they are in a form that provides for improved ease of handling. Further, the compounds of the invention have the advantage that they may be produced in forms that have improved chemical and solid state stability as well as lower hygroscopicity. Thus, the compounds may be stable when stored over prolonged periods.
The invention is illustrated, but in no way limited, by the following examples.
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 Hohne, 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.
