Cross-Reference to Related Applications

[001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/027,675 filed on May 20, 2020 and to U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/080,325 filed on September 18, 2020, the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference.

Technical Field

[002] This disclosure relates to crystalline bis(4-hydroxy-N,N-di-n-propyltryptammonium) fumarate tetrahydrate (4-HO-DPT fumarate.4H 2 0), and to crystalline 4-hydroxy-N,N-di-n-propyl-tryptammonium chloride (4-HO-DPT chloride); to pharmaceutical compositions containing them and to methods of treatment/therapeutic uses of crystalline 4-HO-DPT fumarate.4H 2 0 and of crystalline 4-HO-DPT chloride.

Background of the Invention

[003] 4-Hydroxy-N,N-di-n-propyltryptamine, or 4-HO-DPT, is a derivative of psilocin, which is the primary active psychedelic in "magic" mushrooms. Psilocin is the metabolite of psilocybin and its synthetic analogue psilacetin and is a serotonin-2a agonist which results in its mood-altering effects. Tryptamines, both naturally occurring [Psilocybin (Weber & Petcher, 1974), Psilocin (Petcher & Weber, 1974), and DMT (Falkenberg, 1972)] and their synthetic derivatives [Psilacetin (Chadeayne et al.

2019a, b), MPT (Chadeayne et al. 2019c), MiPT, and 4-HO-MiPT (Chadeayne, Pham et al. 2019)] have garnered a great deal of interest because of their potential to treat depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (Carhart-Harris & Goodwin, 2017). Although several structural analogs of psilocin have been previously reported (by, e.g., Shulgin) these compounds were not rigorously purified or characterized, leaving substantial doubt regarding their purity and identity. As a result, unknown or unappreciated features of the solid-state structures (e.g., solvate form) have resulted in ambiguity and errors in downstream research. For example, failing to precisely identify the solvate or salt form of a molecule affects the molecular mass calculations and, therefore binding affinity, potency, and dosing calculations. In a February 2020 study published in the Journal of Natural Products, Dr. Alexander Sherwood of the Usona Institute noted that psychedelic research had been impeded by a lack of access to pure, well-characterized research chemicals. It is not possible conduct accurate biologic studies or clinical trials without using pure, well-characterized compounds.

[004] Crystalline forms of compounds are ideal for downstream research and pharmaceutical development because they often provide advantages in terms of handling, stability, purification, physical characterization, and formulation. Many crystalline compounds are suitable for x-ray diffraction experiments, through which the solid-state structure of the molecule can be empirically determined from physical data. The solid-state structures of bioactive tryptamine molecules are significant because they define each molecule's physical identity, thereby providing the gold standard for physical characterization, laying a foundation for all downstream research. In addition to accurately defining the atomic composition and arrangement of the molecule, structural characterization enables a variety of in silico modeling experiments, which are important in assessing each molecule's biological and clinical properties, e.g., via structure-activity relationships.

[005] The compound 4-OH-DPT is a structural analog of psilocin. Shulgin synthesized 4-HO-DPT as the free base in about 50% yield and expressed remorse that further studies were confounded because "[i]t's a shame that the compound is rather difficult to make." (Shulgin, pp. 479-80). To address the unmet need for pure, well-characterized forms of 4-HO-DPT, we report the preparation and characterization of crystalline forms of 4-HO-DPT herein.

There are also two independent water molecules, and half of a fumarate ion present.

[073] FIG. 2 shows the hydrogen bonding of the fumarate ion in the structure of 4-HO-DPT fumarate.4H 2 0, with hydrogen bonds shown as dashed lines. Displacement ellipsoids are drawn at the 50% probability level. Hydrogen atoms not involved in hydrogen bonds are omitted for clarity.

Symmetry codes: (i) 2 - x, 1 - y, -z; (ii) -1/2 + x, 1/2 - y, -1/2 + z; (iii) 5/2 - x, 1/2 + y, 1/2 - z. The 4-hy- droxy-N,N-di-n-propyltryptammonium cations, fumarate dianions and water molecules are linked to each other in an infinite three-dimensional network through hydrogen bonds (FIG. 2). Both inequivalent O atoms on the fumarate dianion (i.e., 02 and 03) accept two hydrogen bonds. One oxygen accepts hydrogen bonds from the hydroxide of the DPT cation and one water molecule. The other oxygen interacts with the indole N atom and the second independent water molecule. The ammonium proton hydrogen bonds with one of the water molecules. A weak O— H···p interaction is observed between one hydrogen atom of one of the water molecules and the six-membered ring of an adjacent indole unit. [074] FIG. 3 shows the crystal packing of crystalline 4-HO-DPT fumarate.4H 2 0, viewed along the a axis. The N— H---0 and O— H---0 hydrogen bonds are shown as dashed lines. Displacement ellipsoids are drawn at the 50% probability level. Hydrogen atoms not involved in hydrogen bonding are omitted for clarity. [075] Simulated Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD) Pattern. FIG. 4 shows a simulated X-ray powder diffraction pattern (XRPD) for crystalline 4-HO-DPT fumarate.4H 2 0 generated from its single crystal data. Table 4 lists the angles, °2Q ± 0.2°2Q, and d-spacing of the peaks identified in the experimental XRPD pattern of FIG. 4. The entire list of peaks, or a subset thereof, may be sufficient to characterize the cocrystal. For example, the cocrystal may be characterized by at least two peaks selected from the peaks at 8.5, 9.6, and 10.9 °2Q ± 0.2°2Q or their corresponding d-spacing as well as by a XRPD pattern substantially similar to FIG. 4.

[076] Example 2: Preparation and Characterization of bis(4-hvdroxy- di-n-propyltryptammonium) chloride (4-HO-DPT chloride)

[077] Preparation. 4-hydroxy-N,N-di-n-propyl-tryptamine as its freebase (50 mg, 0.19 mmol) was dissolved in di-chloro-methane, and 160 mL of hydrochloric acid (1.25 M in ethanol, 0.20 mmol) was added with stirring at room temperature. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes, resulting in a white precipitate which was isolated via vacuum filtration and washed with di-ethyl ether to yield 28 mg of the salt. A second crop was collected by concentrating and cooling the filtrate to give another 13 mg of salt (73% yield). Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction studies were grown from the slow evaporation of a methyl-ene chloride/methanol mixture. The sample was analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance. 1 H NMR (400 MHz, D 2 0): d 7.07 (s, 1 H, Ar H), 7.04-6.96 (m, 2 H, Ar H), 6.47 (dd, J = 6.1, 2.4 Hz, 1 H, Ar H), 3.42-3.30 (m, 2 H, CH 2 ), 3.20-3.07 (m, 2 H, CH 2 ), 3.00 (dd, J = 10.1, 6.4 Hz, 4 H, CH 2 ), 1.60 (h, J = 6.8 Hz, 4 H, CH 2 ), 0.84 (t, J = 7.4 Hz, 6 H, CH 3 ); 13 C NMR (100 MHz, D 2 0): d 149.9 (ArC), 138.8 (ArC), 123.3 (ArC), 123.2 (ArC), 115.9 (ArC), 108.5 (ArC), 104.5 (ArC), 103.7 (ArC), 54.7 (AkC), 53.7 (AkC), 21.2 (AkC), 16.8 (AkC), 10.0 (AkC).

[080] Simulated Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD) Pattern. FIG. 7 shows a simulated X-ray powder diffraction pattern (XRPD) for crystalline 4-HO-DPT chloride generated from its single crystal data. Table 4 lists the angles, °2Q ± 0.2°2Q, and d-spacing of the peaks identified in the experimental XRPD pattern of FIG. 7. The entire list of peaks, or a subset thereof, may be sufficient to characterize the cocrystal.

For example, the cocrystal may be characterized by at least two peaks selected from the peaks at 8.0, 9.2, and 15.9 °2Q ± 0.2°2Q or their corresponding d-spacing as well as by a XRPD pattern substantially similar to FIG. 7.
