Description:
SALT AND CRYSTAL FORMS OF GLP-1R AGONISTS AND USES THEREOF CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims the benefit of priority to International Patent Application Number PCT/CN2020/092530, filed on May 27, 2020. The entire contents of the aforementioned application are incorporated herein by reference. BACKGROUND GLP-1 is a 30 amino acid long incretin hormone secreted by the L-cells in the intestine in response to ingestion of food. GLP-1 has been shown to stimulate insulin secretion in a physiological and glucose-dependent manner, decrease glucagon secretion, inhibit gastric emptying, decrease appetite, and stimulate proliferation of beta-cells. In non- clinical experiments GLP-1 promotes continued beta-cell competence by stimulating transcription of genes important for glucose-dependent insulin secretion and by promoting beta-cell neogenesis (Meier et al., Biodrugs.17(2): 93-102, 2013). In a healthy individual, GLP-1 plays an important role regulating post-prandial blood glucose levels by stimulating glucose-dependent insulin secretion by the pancreas resulting in increased glucose absorption in the periphery. GLP-1 also suppresses glucagon secretion, leading to reduced hepatic glucose output. In addition, GLP-1 delays gastric emptying and slows small bowel motility delaying food absorption. In people with T2DM, the normal post- prandial rise in GLP-1 is absent or reduced (Vilsboll et al., Diabetes.50:609-613, 2001). Hoist (Physiol. Rev.87:1409, 2007) and Meier (Nat. Rev. Endocrinol.8:728, 2012) describe that GLP-1 receptor agonists, such as GLP-1, liraglutide and exendin-4, have 3 major pharmacological activities to improve glycemic control in patients with T2DM by reducing fasting and postprandial glucose (FPG and PPG): (i) increased glucose-dependent insulin secretion (improved first- and second-phase), (ii) glucagon suppressing activity under hyperglycemic conditions, (iii) delay of gastric emptying rate resulting in retarded absorption of meal-derived glucose. International Patent Application No. PCT/CN2019/119373, the entire teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference, discloses highly potent GLP-1 agonists. The structures of two agonists disclosed therein, referred to herein as “Compound I” and “Compound II” are shown below: The chemical name of Compound I is (S)-2-((4-(3-((4-chloro-2-fluorobenzyl)- oxy)phenyl)-3,6-dihydropyridin-1(2H)-yl)methyl)-1-(oxetan-2- ylmethyl)-1H-benzo[d]- imidazole-6-carboxylic acid. The chemical name of Compound II is (S)-2-((6-((4-cyano-2-fluorobenzyl)oxy)-3',6'- dihydro-[2,4'-bipyridin]-1'(2'H)-yl)methyl)-1-(oxetan-2-ylme thyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-6- carboxylic acid. The successful development of pharmaceutically active agents, such as Compound I or Compound II, typically requires the identification of a solid form with properties that enable ready isolation and purification following synthesis, that are amendable to large scale manufacture, that can be stored for extended periods of time with minimal absorption of water, decomposition or transformation into other solid forms, that are suitable for formulation and that can be readily absorbed following administration to the subject (e.g., are soluble in water and in gastric fluids). SUMMARY It has now also been found that the 1:1 Compound I tris salt, 1:1 Compound II tris salt, and 1:1 Compound II citrate salt can be crystallized under well-defined conditions to provide desired crystalline forms (see Examples 3-7). These three salts also have good solubility in water and in simulated gastric fluids, and solid stability (see Tables 2 and 7-1), have high melting point onsets. 1:1 Compound I tris salt and 1:1 Compound II tris salt are also suitable for large scale synthesis. The designation “1:1” is the molar ratio between acid (citric acid)/base (tris- (hydroxymethyl)aminomethane) and Compound I/Compound II. Because of the three carboxylic acid groups on citric acid and the two basic nitrogen atoms in Compound II, multiple possible stoichiometries are possible. The 1:1 citric acid salt of Compound (I) is referred to herein as “1:1 Compound II citrate salt.” In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a tris salt of Compound I wherein the molar ratio between Compound I and tris-(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane is 1:1. As noted above, this salt is also referred to herein as “1:1 Compound I tris salt”. In another aspect, the present disclosure provides a tris salt of Compound II wherein the molar ratio between Compound II and tris-(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane is 1:1. As noted above, this salt is also referred to herein as “1:1 Compound II tris salt”. In another aspect, the present disclosure provides a citrate salt of Compound II wherein the molar ratio between Compound II and citric acid is 1:1. As noted above, this salt is also referred to herein as “1:1 Compound II citrate salt”. In another aspect, the present disclosure provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising 1:1 Compound I tris salt (or 1:1 Compound II tris salt or 1:1 Compound II citrate salt) and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The present disclosure provides a method of treating cardiometabolic and associated diseases, administering to a subject in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of the salts of disclosed herein or the corresponding pharmaceutical compositions. The present disclosure also provides a use of the salt of the disclosure or the pharmaceutical composition thereof comprising the same in any of the methods of the disclosure described above. In one embodiment, provided is the salt of the disclosure or a pharmaceutical composition thereof comprising the same for use in any of the method of the disclosure described herein. In another embodiment, provided is use of the salt of the disclosure or a pharmaceutical composition thereof comprising the same for the manufacture of a medicament for any of the method of the disclosure described. It should be understood that any embodiment of the present disclosure, including those described only in the Examples or claims, or only in one section of the specification, can be combined with one or more additional embodiments of the present disclosure, to the extent that such combinations are not expressly disclaimed or are improper.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present disclosure is directed to a novel tris salt (i.e., 1:1 tris salt) of Compound I, a novel tris salt (i.e., 1:1 tris salt) of Compound II and a novel citrate salt (i.e., 1:1 citrate salt) of Compound II as well as polymorphic forms of each of the foregoing. “Hydrated form” refers to a solid or a crystalline form of Compound I or Compound II in free base or a salt where water is combined with free base Compound (I) or the corresponding salt in a stoichiometric ratio (e.g., a molar ratio of Compound (I):water 1:1 or 1:2) as an integral part of the solid or a crystal. “Unhydrated form” refers to a form which has no stoichiometric ratio between water and the free base of Compound (I) or the corresponding salt of Compound (I), and water is not substantially (e.g., less that 10% by weight by Karl Fischer analysis) present in the solid form. The new solid forms disclosed in the present disclosure include hydrated forms and unhydrated forms. As used herein, “crystalline” refers to a solid having a crystal structure wherein the individual molecules have a highly homogeneous regular three dimensional configuration. The disclosed crystalline Compound I salts and/or Compound II salts can be crystals of a single crystal form or a mixture of crystals of different single crystalline forms. A single crystal form means the Compound I (or Compound II) is a single crystal or a plurality of crystals in which each crystal has the same crystal form. For the crystalline forms of Compound I/Compound II salt disclosed herein, at least a particular percentage by weight of 1:1 Compound I/Compound II salt is in a single crystal form. Particular weight percentages include 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.5%, 99.9%, or a weight percentage of 70%-75%, 75%-80%, 80%-85%, 85%-90%, 90%-95%, 95%-100%, 70-80%, 80-90%, 90-100% by weight of the Compound I/Compound II salt is in a single crystal form. It is to be understood that all values and ranges between these values and ranges are meant to be encompassed by the present disclosure. When the crystalline Compound I/Compound II salt is defined as a specified percentage of one particular crystal form of the Compound I/Compound II salt, the remainder is made up of amorphous form and/or crystal forms other than the one or more particular forms that are specified. Examples of single crystal forms include 1:1 Compound I Tris salt (Form A), 1:1 Compound II Tris salt (Forms B and G) and 1:1 Compound II Citrate salt (Form A) characterized by one or more properties as discussed herein. Both Compound I and Compound II have a chiral center. Compound I and Compound II in the salts and polymorphs disclosed herein are at least 80%, 90%, 99% or 99.9% by weight pure relative to the other stereoisomers, i.e., the ratio of the weight of the stereoisomer over the weight of all the stereoisomers. The crystalline Compound I/Compound II salts disclosed herein exhibit strong, unique XRPD patterns with sharp peaks corresponding to angular peak positions in 2θ and a flat baseline, indicative of a highly crystalline material (e.g., FIG.1). Characterization of 1:1 Compound I Tris Salt Crystalline Forms In one embodiment, 1:1 Compound I Tris salt is a single crystalline form, Form A, characterized by an X-ray powder diffraction pattern which comprises peaks at 17.5°, 20.1°, 20.7°, 21.1°, and 22.6° ± 0.2 in 2θ. In another embodiment, Form A is characterized by an X-ray powder diffraction pattern which comprises at least three peaks (or four peaks) selected from 17.5°, 20.1°, 20.7°, 21.1°, and 22.6° ± 0.2 in 2θ. In yet another embodiment, Form A is characterized by an X-ray powder diffraction pattern which comprises peaks at 4.1°, 14.8°, 17.5°, 18.8°, 20.1°, 20.7°, 21.1°, and 22.6° ± 0.2 in 2θ. In yet another embodiment, Form A is characterized by an X-ray powder diffraction pattern which comprises peaks at 4.1°, 8.1°, 12.8°, 14.8°, 16.3°, 17.5°, 18.8°, 19.3°, 20.1°, 20.7°, 21.1°, 22.6°, 25.1°, and 25.8° ± 0.2 in 2θ. In yet another embodiment, Form A is characterized by an X-ray powder diffraction pattern substantially similar to FIG.1. It is well known in the crystallography art that, for any given crystal form, an angular peak position may vary slightly due to factors such as temperature variation, sample displacement, and the presence or absence of an internal standard. In the present disclosure, the variability of an angular peak position is ± 0.2 in 2θ. In addition, the relative peak intensities for a given crystal form may vary due to differences in crystallite sizes and non- random crystallite orientations in sample preparation for XRPD analysis. It is well known in the art that this variability will account for the above factors without hindering the unequivocal identification of a crystal form. In another embodiment, 1:1 Compound I Tris salt Form A is characterized by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) peak phase transition temperatures of 173 ± 3°C (e.g., 174.3 °C).

In another aspect, the present disclosure provides a method of enhancing or stimulating GLP-1R-mediated cAMP signaling with reduced β-arrestin / arrestin-2 recruitment, comprising administering a compound of any one of the formulae described above (e.g., Formulae I, II-A, III-A, and IV-A), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, stereoisomer, solvate, or hydrate thereof, as defined in any one of the embodiments described herein. This is partly based on the surprising finding that the compounds of the present disclosure, while being full agonists ofGLP-1R-mediated cAMP signaling, are partial agonists of β-arrestin recruitment to activated GLP-1R, compared to the natural GLP-1R ligand GLP-1, in that maximal β-arrestin recruitment to activated GLP-1R by the compounds of the present disclosure is lower than maximal β-arrestin recruitment by GLP-1. Such partial and/or biased agonists of GLP-1R for cAMP signaling may provide a more sustained cAMP signaling activity for better efficacy and lowered side effects. Thus, the method of the present disclosure may be advantageously used for the treatment of any of the diseases or conditions described herein, such as type II diabetes (T2D) and related diseases. In certain embodiments, the treatment elicits a glycemic benefit without concomitant increase, or at least reduced increase, in a GI side effect such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. In certain embodiments, the treatment has greater tolerability compared to a control treatment that has normal or enhanced β-arrestin recruitment (such as β-arrestin recruitment by GLP-1). Administration and Dosing Typically, a compound of the present disclosure is administered in an amount effective to treat a condition as described herein. The compounds of the present disclosure can be administered as compound per se, or alternatively, as a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.

The starting materials used herein are commercially available or may be prepared by routine methods known in the art. In the preparation of the compounds of any one of the formulae described above, it is noted that some of the preparation methods described herein may require protection of remote functionality (e.g., primary amine, secondary amine, carboxyl in any one of the formulae described above precursors). The need for such protection will vary depending on the nature of the remote functionality and the conditions of the preparation methods. The need for such protection is readily determined by one skilled in the art. The use of such protection/deprotection methods is also within the skill in the art. For a general description of protecting groups and their use, see Greene, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1991. For example, certain compounds contain primary amines or carboxylic acid functionalities which may interfere with reactions at other sites of the molecule if left unprotected. Accordingly, such functionalities may be protected by an appropriate protecting group which may be removed in a subsequent step. Suitable protecting groups for amine and carboxylic acid protection include those protecting groups commonly used in peptide synthesis (such as N-t-butoxycarbonyl (Boc), benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz), and 9- fluorenylmethylenoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) for amines, and lower alkyl or benzyl esters for carboxylic acids) which are generally not chemically reactive under the reaction conditions described and can typically be removed without chemically altering other functionality in the any one of the formulae described above compounds. The Schemes described below are intended to provide a general description of the methodology employed in the preparation of the compounds of the present present disclosure. Some of the compounds of the present present disclosure may contain single or multiple chiral centers with the stereochemical designation (R) or (S). It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that all of the synthetic transformations can be conducted in a similar manner whether the materials are enantioenriched or racemic. Moreover, the resolution to the desired optically active material may take place at any desired point in the sequence using well known methods such as described herein and in the chemistry literature. Amine compounds prepared via methods described herein can be alkylated with a protected 2-bromoacetate in the presence of a suitable base such as K 2 CO 3 , Et 3 N, NaH or LiHMDS in a polar aprotic solvent such as but not limited to DMF, DMAc, DMSO or NMP to deliver compounds. Standard ester hydrolysis can be performed to provide acids. If Pg 2 is t-butyl, standard acidic deprotection methods such as TFA/DCM, HCl/1,4-dioxane, HCl/EtOAc or other suitable conditions may be used to deliver acids.

Example 3. Preparations and Characterization of Crystalline Form of 1:1 Compound I Tris Salt (Form A) 3.1.1 Preparation Method A solution of 500.9 mg of free form of Compound I was dissolved in 20 mL Acetone/H2O (9:1, v:v). In the meatime, an equimolar Tris (107.9 mg) was dissolved in 2.5 mL H2O. The obtained Tris solution was added to the free form of Compound I solution dropwise and stirred at room temperature (RT, ~1000 rpm). The obtained slurry was stirred continuously for 17 hours at RT, then it was cooled down to 5 ºC and stirred for another 4 hours. The solid in the mixture was isolated by centrifugation and vacuum dried at RT for 20 hours to obtain 445.9 mg of the desired product (yield ~ 73.2%). The solid obtained was further characterized by XRPD (FIG.1 and Table 1). The TGA results showed a weight loss of 3.2 % up to 150 °C (FIG.2A) and the DSC results showed two endotherms at 112.0 °C and 174.3 ºC (peak temperature) (FIG.2B). The 1 H NMR spectrum showed the molar ratio of tris/freeform was 1.0:1 and no residual solvent was observed. VH-XRPD and single crystal structure determination were performed for 1:1 Compound I Tris Salt (Form A) and it was identified as a monohydrate, which would dehydrate at the ≤ 30%RH condition. 1:1 Compound I Tris Salt (Form A) is thus suggested to be stored under the condition of 20~30 °C with relative humidity ≥ 40%RH to avoid dehydration. Table 1 XRPD of 1:1 Compound I Tris Salt (Form A) 3.1.2 Alternative Preparation Methods The preparation of 1:1 Compound I Tris Salt (Form A) was attempted via slurry/solution crystallization for several times.

While the crystallinity of the sample decreased significantly after vacuum drying. The TGA/DSC curves showed a weight loss of 7.1% up to 150 ºC and two endotherms at 89.4 ºC and 170.5 ºC (peak temperature). The 1 H NMR spectrum showed the molar ratio of Tris/freeform was 1.0:1 and the molar ratio of residual THF/freeform was 0.62:1 (6.1%, wt%). The HPLC purity of Tris salt Form A (Sample ID 1) was measured to be 93.87 area%. Tris salt Form A (Sample ID 3) was obtained via solution crystallization using 15 mg freeform and equalmolar Tris as starting material. The TGA/DSC curves showed a weight loss of 7.8% up to 150 ºC and two endotherms at 98.2 ºC and 174.6 ºC (peak temperature). The 1 H NMR spectrum indicated the molar ratio of Tris/freeform was 1.0:1, and the molar ratio of residual Acetone/freeform was 0.04:1 (0.3%, wt%). The HPLC purity of Tris salt Form A (Sample ID 3) was measured to be 97.46 area%. Tris salt Form A (Sample ID 4) was obtained via solution crystallization using 500 mg freeform and equalmolar Tris as starting material. The TGA/DSC curves showed a weight loss of 6.1% up to 150 ºC and two endotherms at 90.9 ºC and 174.2 ºC (peak temperature). The 1 H NMR spectrum indicated the molar ratio of Tris/freeform was 0.9:1, and the molar ratio of residual Acetone/freeform was 0.04:1 (0.3%, wt%). The HPLC purity of Tris salt Form A (Sample ID 4) was measured to be 98.04 area%. This batch of sample was not further used for formulation study since the molar ratio was not 1:1. Tris salt Form A (Sample ID 5) was obtained via solution crystallization using 500 mg freeform and equalmolar Tris as starting material. The TGA/DSC curves showed a weight loss of 3.2% up to 150 ºC and two endotherms at 112.0 ºC and 174.3 ºC (peak temperature). The 1 H NMR spectrum indicated the molar ratio of Tris/freeform was 1.0:1, and the molar ratio of residual Acetone/freeform was 0.05:1 (0.4%, wt%). The HPLC purity of Tris salt Form A (Sample ID 5) was measured to be 98.16 area%. 3.2 Single Crystal Growth The single crystal sample of 1:1 Compound I Tris Salt (Form A), characterized by SCXRD, was obtained from a slow evaporation experiment. The experiment details are elaborated below. 15.0 mg 1:1 Compound I Tris Salt (Form A) starting material was added into a 3-mL glass vial with the addition of 1.0 mL ACN/MeOH (1:1, v:v) solvent mixture. After being shaken by ultrasonic cleaner to accelerate dissolution, the suspension was filtered. The obtained clear solution was transferred to a clean 4-mL shell vial. The shell vial was sealed by PE-Plug with one pinhole on it. Then it was placed in fume hood at room temperature for slow evaporation. After 2 days’ slow evaporation, rod-like crystals were observed. As evidenced in single crystal X-ray crystallography (FIG.3), the asymmetric unit of the Type A single crystal structure is comprised of one Compound I anion, one tris cation and one water molecule, which confirms that the Form A is a monohydrate of 1:1 Compound I tris salt. 3.3 Kinetic Solubility I) Preparation of Bio-relevant Media and pH Buffers Simulated Gastric Fluid (SGF) Weigh 100 mg of sodium chloride and 50 mg of Triton X-100 into a 50-mL volumetric flask.
