The invention relates to novel crystalline forms of (S)-7-Oxa-2-aza-spiro[4.5]decane- 2-carboxylic acid [7-(3,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)-4-methoxy-thiazolo[4,5-c]pyri din-2- yl]-amide, processes for their preparation, medicaments and pharmaceutical preparations comprising theses forms.

Background of the invention

WO 2020/152132 A1 (compound 25) discloses (S)-7-Oxa-2-aza-spiro[4.5]decane-2- carboxylic acid [7-(3,6-dihydro2H-pyran-4-yl)-4-methoxy-thiazolo[4,5-c]pyrid in-2-yl]- amide after chiral resolution by HPLC. WO 2020/152132 A1 describes the process for its manufacturing and yields in an amorphous state of the compound. Apart from this, no dedicated crystalline form is mentioned for the compound in WO 2020/152132 A1.

However, if an active substance is intended as an active substance for a medicinal product, the amorphous state being a thermodynamically less stable form in general bears liabilities for chemical and physical stability with a negative impact on the dissolution rate, bioavailability, effectiveness and storage of a drug.

Hence, the aim of the present invention was the development of alternative solid- state forms overcoming these disadvantages.

Summary of the invention

Surprisingly, we have found a novel crystalline anhydrous form, termed A1 of (S)-7- Oxa-2-aza-spiro[4.5]decane-2-carboxylic acid [7-(3,6-dihydro2H-pyran-4-yl)-4- methoxy-thiazolo[4,5-c]pyridin-2-yl]-amide. Furthermore, we have found new hydrate forms of (S)-7-Oxa-2-aza- spiro[4.5]decane-2-carboxylic acid [7-(3,6-dihydro2H-pyran-4-yl)-4-methoxy- thiazolo[4,5-c]pyridin-2-yl]-amide, namely NF2, NF3, NF4, and NF12.

The amorphous state is characterised by the following physical properties: Thermal behaviour shows no significant enthalpic events and TGA a total weight loss up to 150°C of 2.9 % (w/w). The DSC and TGA profiles are displayed in Figs. 2A and 2B. A DSC scan of the amorphous state was acquired on a Mettler-Toledo DSC1 with a heating rate of 5 K/min, using nitrogen purge gas at 50 mL/min. A TGA scan of the amorphous state was acquired on a Mettler-Toledo TGA 851 with a heating rate of 5 K/min, using nitrogen purge gas at 50 mL/min (DSC and TGA scan of amorphous state see Figs. 2A and 2B).

The water vapour sorption behaviour reveals water uptake levels >22 % (w/w) in the full relative humidity (RH) range 0-98% RH. The amorphous state can be classified as hygroscopic according to Ph. Eur. criteria (section 5.11.) and it shows tendencies for deliquescence at humidity levels >90% RH. The water vapour sorption isotherm (25°C) is displayed in Fig. 3 (Water Vapour Sorption Isotherm (25°C) of amorphous state). The water vapour sorption isotherm was acquired on a DVS intrinsic system from SMS.

Lab scale:

Approximately 210 mg of the amorphous state of (S)-7-Oxa-2-aza-spiro[4.5]decane-

2-carboxylic acid [7-(3,6-dihydro2H-pyran-4-yl)-4-methoxy-thiazolo[4,5-c]pyrid in-2- yl]-amide were stirred in 2 mL acetone at 50°C for 2 hours. Afterwards, the suspension was centrifuged and dried for 12 hours at 50°C under N2-flux.

Gramm scale:

Approximately 1.9 g of the amorphous state of (S)-7-Oxa-2-aza-spiro[4.5]decane-2- carboxylic acid [7-(3,6-dihydro2H-pyran-4-yl)-4-methoxy-thiazolo[4,5-c]pyrid in-2-yl]- amide were resolved from 20 mL acetone, stored over night at 0°C, separated and dried.

Table 1 - Powder X-ray peak list of the crystalline anhydrous form A1

Single crystal x-ray structure data were obtained on the A1 form as well (Oxford Diffraction Supernova Single Crystal X-ray Diffractometer with graphite monochromator and CCD detector) at 298 K (see Fig. 5).

A1 form crystallises in the non-centrosymmetric, monoclinic space group P21 with the lattice parameters a = 9.1 ± 0.1 A, b = 22.5 ± 0.1 A, c = 10.4 ± 0.1 A, and p = 103.5 ± 0.5° (with a = y = 90°). From the single crystal structure, it is obvious that form A1 represents an anhydrous form.

The A1 form is characterised by the following physical properties:

The thermal behaviour of the A1 form shows melting (~213°C) overlapping with a TGA step, which is due to thermal release of strongly bounded residual solvents in agglomerates. The DSC and TGA profiles are displayed in Figs. 6A and 6B. A DSC scan of the A1 form was acquired on a Mettler-Toledo DSC1 with a heating rate of 5 K/min, using nitrogen purge gas at 50 mL/min. A TGA scan of the A1 form was acquired on a Mettler-Toledo TGA 851 with a heating rate of 5 K/min, using nitrogen purge gas at 50 mL/min.

The water vapour sorption behaviour of the A1 form reveals very small water uptake levels <1 % (w/w) in the full relative humidity (RH) range 0-98% RH. The A1 form can be classified as slightly hygroscopic according to Ph. Eur. criteria (section 5.11.). The water vapor sorption isotherm (25°C) of form A1 is displayed in Fig.7. The water vapour sorption isotherm was acquired on a DVS Intrinsic system from SMS.

Example 7 - Processes for co-crystal screening for 8-Oxa-2- azaspiro[4.5]decane-2-carboxylic acid (4-methoxy-7-phenylthiazolo[4,5- c]pyridin-2-yl)-amide

A co-crystal screening was performed for 8-Oxa-2-azaspiro[4.5]decane-2-carboxylic acid (4-methoxy-7-phenylthiazolo[4,5-c]pyridin-2-yl)-amide (compound 53 in WO 2019/025099). A broad range of experiment types (e.g. co-melting, grinding, cooling crystallisation) was used, however, surprisingly yielded in 1:1 ratio only with very few co-formers, namely 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, tartaric acid, and 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, respectively. For larger scale, most promising results were observed in cooling crystallization trials. Since 8-Oxa-2-azaspiro[4.5]decane-2-carboxylic acid (4- methoxy-7-phenylthiazolo[4,5-c]pyridin-2-yl)-amide is not the subject of the invention, no detailed physico-chemical information are included.
