[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No.

61/904,803, filed November 15, 2013, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Provided herein are solid forms of {[5-(3-chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxypyridine-2- carbonyl] amino} acetic acid, compositions comprising one or more solid forms, methods of making the solid forms and methods of their use for the treatment of various or symptoms thereof.

2. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The identification and selection of a solid form of a pharmaceutical Compound (I) is complex, given that a change in solid form may affect a variety of physical and chemical properties, which may provide benefits or drawbacks in processing, maintaining, storage, formulation, stability and bioavailability, among other important pharmaceutical characteristics. Potential pharmaceutical solids include crystalline solids, amorphous solids, and mixtures thereof. Amorphous solids are characterized by a lack of long-range structural order, whereas crystalline solids are characterized by structural periodicity. The desired class of pharmaceutical solid depends upon the specific application; amorphous solids are sometimes selected on the basis of, e.g., an enhanced dissolution profile, while crystalline solids may be desirable for properties such as, e.g., physical or chemical stability {See, e.g., S. R. Vippagunta et al., Adv. Drug. Deliv. Rev., (2001) 48:3-26; L. Yu, Adv. Drug. Deliv. Rev., (2001) 48:27-42).

[0004] Whether crystalline or amorphous, potential solid forms of a pharmaceutical

Compound (I) include single-component and multiple-component solids. Single-component solids consist essentially of the pharmaceutical Compound (I) in the absence of other

compounds. Variety among single-component crystalline materials may potentially arise from the phenomenon of polymorphism, wherein multiple three-dimensional arrangements exist for a particular pharmaceutical compound {See, e.g., S. R. Byrn et ah, Solid State Chemistry of Drugs, (1999) SSCI, West Lafayette). The importance of discovering polymorphs was underscored by the case of Ritonavir, an HIV protease inhibitor that was formulated as soft gelatin capsules. About two years after the product was launched, the unanticipated precipitation of a new, less soluble polymorph in the formulation necessitated the withdrawal of the product from the market until a more consistent formulation could be developed {See S. R. Chemburkar et ah, Org.

Process Res. Dev., (2000) 4:413-417).

[0005] Additional diversity among the potential solid forms of a pharmaceutical compound may arise from the possibility of multiple-component solids. Crystalline solids comprising two or more ionic species are termed salts {See, e.g., Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection and Use, P. H. Stahl and C. G. Wermuth, Eds., (2002), Wiley, Weinheim). Additional types of multiple-component solids that may potentially offer other property improvements for a pharmaceutical compound or salt thereof include, e.g., hydrates, solvates, co-crystals and clathrates, among others {See, e.g., S. R. Byrn et ah, Solid State Chemistry of Drugs, (1999) SSCI, West Lafayette). Moreover, multiple-component crystal forms may potentially be susceptible to polymorphism, wherein a given multiple-component composition may exist in more than one three-dimensional crystalline arrangement. The discovery of solid forms is of great importance in the development of a safe, effective, stable and marketable pharmaceutical compound.

[0006] A new class of prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors and their use to treat or prevent diseases ameliorated by modulation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) prolyl hydroxylase are described in U.S. Patent No. 7,811,595, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The synthesis of such prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors is described in U.S. Patent Publication No. 2012/0309977, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Such compounds inhibit HIF prolyl hydroxylase, thereby stabilizing HIFa. As a consequence of stabilizing HIFa, endogenous erythropoietin (EPO) production is increased. One such compound is{[5-(3- chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxypyridine-2-carbonyl]amino} acetic acid ("Compound (I)") and methods of making the compound were disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 7,811,595, filed June 26, 2007 (See inter alia Schemes I and II and accompanying synthetic procedures in columns 15-17, and 25) and U.S. Publication 2012-0309977 (U.S. Pat. Appl. No. 13/488,554), filed in June 5, 2012 (See inter alia paragraphs [0254] - [267]), the entireties of each of which are incorporated by reference herein. 3. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

As used herein, Compound (I) includes any zwitterionic species as well as any pharmaceutically acceptable salts.

[0042] As used herein, the terms "prevent", "preventing" and "prevention" are art- recognized, and when used in relation to a condition, such as a local recurrence, a disease or any other medical condition, such as those described herein, is well understood in the art, and includes administration of a compound, such as Compound (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate or hydrate thereof, which reduces the frequency of, or delays the onset of, symptoms of a medical condition in a subject relative to a subject which does not receive the composition.

[0043] As used herein, the terms "treat", "treating" and "treatment" refer to the reversing, reducing, or arresting the symptoms, clinical signs, and underlying pathology of a disease condition, such as those described herein, in manner to improve or stabilize a subject's condition. The terms "treat" and "treatment" also refer to the eradication or amelioration of the disease or symptoms associated with the disease. In certain embodiments, such terms refer to minimizing the spread or worsening of the disease resulting from the administration of Compound (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate or hydrate thereof to a patient with such a disease. [0044] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a salt prepared from pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic acids or bases including inorganic acids and bases and organic acids and bases. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts for Compound (I) include, but are not limited to, lithium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, bismuth, ammonium (including alkyl substituted ammonium), meglumine and choline. Suitable non-toxic acids include, but are not limited to, inorganic and organic acids such as acetic, alginic, anthranilic, benzenesulfonic, benzoic, camphorsulfonic, citric, ethanesulfonic, formic, fumaric, furoic, galacturonic, gluconic, glucuronic, glutamic, glycolic, hydrobromic, hydrochloric, isethionic, lactic, maleic, malic, mandelic, methanesulfonic, mucic, nitric, pamoic, pantothenic, phenylacetic, phosphoric, propionic, salicylic, stearic, succinic, sulfanilic, sulfuric, tartaric acid, and p-toluenesulfonic acid.

2-carbonyl]amino} acetic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, that further includes a stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amount of a solvent, other than water, bound by non- covalent intermolecular forces.

[0047] As used herein, the term "HIF prolyl hydroxylase" is art-recognized and may be abbreviated as "PHD". HIF prolyl hydroxylase is also known as "prolyl hydroxylase domain- containing protein" which may be abbreviated as "PHD". In this regard, there are three different PHD isoforms, PHD1, PHD2, and PHD3, also referred to as EGLN2, EGLN1, and EGLN3, or HPH3, HPH2, and HPH1, respectively.

[0048] The terms "solid form," "solid forms" and related terms, when used herein to refer to Compound (I), refer to a physical form comprising Compound (I) which is not predominantly in a liquid or a gaseous state. Crystal forms and amorphous forms are examples of solid forms. In one embodiment, the solid form is Form A. In another embodiment, the solid form is Form B. In another embodiment, the solid form is Form C. [0049] The term "crystalline" and related terms used herein, when used to describe a substance, component, product, or form, means that the substance, component or product is substantially crystalline as determined by X-ray diffraction. See, e.g., Remington's

Pharmaceutical Sciences, 22nd ed., Pharmaceutical Press, (2012).; The United States

Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed., (2011).

[0050] The term "crystal form," "crystalline form" and related terms herein refer to a crystalline solid form comprising a chemical compound, and may refer to a particular single- component or multiple-component crystal form, including, but not limited to, a polymorph, a solvate, a hydrate or other molecular complex, a salt, a solvate of a salt, a hydrate of a salt, or other molecular complex of a salt, or a polymorph thereof.

[0051] The terms "polymorphs," "polymorphic forms" and related terms herein refer to two or more crystal forms that comprise the same molecule, molecules or ions. Different polymorphs may have different physical properties such as, for example, melting temperatures, heats of fusion, solubilities, dissolution rates and/or vibrational spectra as a result of the arrangement or conformation of the molecules or ions in the crystal lattice. The differences in physical properties exhibited by polymorphs affect pharmaceutical parameters such as storage stability, compressibility and density (important in formulation and product manufacturing), and dissolution rate (an important factor in bioavailability). Differences in stability can result from changes in chemical reactivity {e.g., differential oxidation, such that a dosage form discolors more rapidly when comprised of one polymorph than when comprised of another polymorph) or mechanical changes {e.g. , tablets crumble on storage as a kinetically favored polymorph converts to thermodynamically more stable polymorph) or both {e.g., tablets of one polymorph are more susceptible to breakdown at high humidity). As a result of solubility/dissolution differences, in the extreme case, some polymorphic transitions may result in lack of potency or, at the other extreme, toxicity. In addition, the physical properties of the crystal may be important in processing; for example, one polymorph might be more likely to form solvates or might be difficult to filter and wash free of impurities {e.g. , particle shape and size distribution might be different between polymorphs).

[0052] Techniques for characterizing crystal forms and amorphous forms include, but are not limited to, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), melting point, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray powder diffractometry (XRPD), single-crystal X-ray diffractometry, vibrational spectroscopy, e.g., infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy, solid-state and solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, optical microscopy (e.g. , polaraized light microscopy), hot stage optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron crystallography, dynamic vapor sorption (DVS), and quantitative analysis, particle size analysis (PSA), surface area analysis, solubility studies and dissolution studies.

[0053] The term "amorphous," "amorphous form," and related terms used herein mean that the substance, component or product in question is not substantially crystalline as determined by X-ray diffraction. In certain embodiments, a sample comprising an amorphous form of a substance may be substantially free of other amorphous forms and/or crystal forms.

[0054] As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, the terms "about" and

"approximately," when used in connection with doses, amounts, or weight percent of ingredients of a composition or a dosage form, mean a dose, amount, or weight percent that is recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art to provide a pharmacological effect equivalent to that obtained from the specified dose, amount, or weight percent. Specifically, the terms "about" and

"approximately," when used in this context, contemplate a dose, amount, or weight percent within 15%, more specifically within 10%>, more specifically within 5%, of the specified dose, amount, or weight percent.

[0055] As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, the terms "about" and

"approximately," when used in connection with a numeric value or range of values which is provided to characterize a particular solid form, e.g., a specific temperature or temperature range, such as, for example, that describing a melting, dehydration, desolvation or glass transition temperature; a mass change, such as, for example, a mass change as a function of temperature or humidity; a solvent or water content, in terms of, for example, mass or a percentage; or a peak position, such as, for example, in analysis by IR or Raman spectroscopy or XRPD; indicate that the value or range of values may deviate to an extent deemed reasonable to one of ordinary skill in the art while still describing the particular solid form. Specifically, the terms "about" and "approximately," when used in this context, indicate that the numeric value or range of values may vary, in particular embodiments, within 20%, 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1.5%, 1%, 0.5%, or 0.25%) of the recited value or range of values. With respect to XRPD, values given are ±0.2 degrees 2 theta. [0056] As used herein, an "effective amount" refers to that amount of Compound (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate or hydrate thereof sufficient to provide a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of the disease or to delay or minimize symptoms associated with the disease, such as any disease or condition described herein.

[0057] The terms "subject" and "patient," unless otherwise specified, are defined herein to include animals such as mammals, including, but not limited to, primates (e.g., humans), cows, sheep, goats, horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, mice and the like. In specific embodiments, the subject or patient is a human. In certain embodiments, the patient has a disease or condition as described herein.

Alternatively, when administered as a component of such combination therapy, the {[5-(3-chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxypyridine-2- carbonyl] amino} acetic acid and the other medicament may be additive, such that the daily dose of each of the components is similar or the same as the dose of either component that would normally be given as a monotherapy.

[00132] In certain embodiments, the invention relates to methods for treating anemia, such as anemia secondary to chronic kidney disease, comprising administering a compound which is {[5 -(3 -chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxypyridine-2-carbonyl] amino} acetic acid to a patient having anemia, wherein the Compound (I) is optionally administered in combination with an iron supplement, such as ferrous sulfate, ferrous gluconate, or ferrous fumarate. In certain such embodiments, the iron supplement is administered at least one hour, at least two hours, at least three hours, at least four hours, or even at least six hours following administration of the compound.

5.6 Pharmaceutical Compositions

[00134] Pharmaceutical compositions may be used in the preparation of individual, single unit dosage forms. Pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms provided herein comprise a compound as provided herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or hydrate thereof (e.g., the parent compound). Pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms can further comprise one or more excipients.

[00135] In certain embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms comprise one or more excipients. Suitable excipients are well known to those skilled in the art of pharmacy, and non-limiting examples of suitable excipients are provided herein. Whether a particular excipient is suitable for incorporation into a pharmaceutical composition or dosage form depends on a variety of factors well known in the art including, but not limited to, the way in which the dosage form will be administered to a patient. For example, oral dosage forms such as tablets may contain excipients not suited for use in parenteral dosage forms. The suitability of a particular excipient may also depend on the specific active ingredients in the dosage form. For example, the decomposition of some active ingredients may be accelerated by some excipients such as lactose, or when exposed to water.

[00136] Lactose-free compositions can comprise excipients that are well known in the art and are listed, for example, in the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) 25 NF20 (2002). In general, lactose-free compositions comprise active ingredients, a binder/filler, and a lubricant in pharmaceutically compatible and pharmaceutically acceptable amounts. In one embodiment, lactose-free dosage forms comprise active ingredients, microcrystalline cellulose, pre-gelatinized starch, and magnesium stearate.

[00137] Also provided are anhydrous pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms since water can facilitate the degradation of some compounds. For example, the addition of water (e.g., 5%) is widely accepted in the pharmaceutical arts as a means of simulating long-term storage in order to determine characteristics such as shelf-life or the stability of formulations over time. See, e.g., Jens T. Carstensen, Drug Stability: Principles & Practice, 2d. Ed., Marcel Dekker, NY, NY, 1995, pp. 379-80. In effect, water and heat accelerate the decomposition of some compounds. Thus, the effect of water on a formulation can be of great significance since moisture and/or humidity are commonly encountered during manufacture, handling, packaging, storage, shipment, and use of formulations.

[00138] An anhydrous pharmaceutical composition should be prepared and stored such that its anhydrous nature is maintained. Accordingly, anhydrous compositions are, in one embodiment, packaged using materials known to prevent exposure to water such that they can be included in suitable formulary kits. Examples of suitable packaging include, but are not limited to, hermetically sealed foils, plastics, unit dose containers (e.g., vials), blister packs, and strip packs.

[00139] Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms that comprise one or more compounds that reduce the rate by which an active ingredient will decompose. Such compounds, which are referred to herein as "stabilizers," include, but are not limited to, antioxidants such as ascorbic acid, pH buffers, or salt buffers. [00140] Like the amounts and types of excipients, the amounts and specific types of active ingredients in a dosage form may differ depending on factors such as, but not limited to, the route by which it is to be administered to patients.

5.6.1 Oral Dosage Forms

[00141] Pharmaceutical compositions that are suitable for oral administration can be provided as discrete dosage forms, such as, but not limited to, tablets (e.g., chewable tablets), caplets, capsules, suspensions and liquids (e.g., flavored syrups). Such dosage forms contain predetermined amounts of active ingredients, and may be prepared by methods of pharmacy well known to those skilled in the art. See generally, Remington's The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st Ed., Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (2005).

[00142] Oral dosage forms provided herein are prepared by combining the active ingredients in an intimate admixture with at least one excipient according to conventional pharmaceutical compounding techniques. Excipients can take a wide variety of forms depending on the form of preparation desired for administration. For example, excipients suitable for use in oral liquid or aerosol dosage forms include, but are not limited to, water, glycols, oils, alcohols, flavoring agents, preservatives, and coloring agents. Examples of excipients suitable for use in solid oral dosage forms (e.g., powders, tablets, capsules, and caplets) include, but are not limited to, starches, sugars, micro-crystalline cellulose, diluents, granulating agents, lubricants, binders, and disintegrating agents.

[00143] In one embodiment, oral dosage forms are tablets or capsules, in which case solid excipients are employed. In another embodiment, tablets can be coated by standard aqueous or non-aqueous techniques. Such dosage forms can be prepared by any of the methods of pharmacy. In general, pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms are prepared by uniformly and intimately admixing the active ingredients with liquid carriers, finely divided solid carriers, or both, and then shaping the product into the desired presentation if necessary.

[00144] For example, a tablet can be prepared by compression or molding. Compressed tablets can be prepared by compressing in a suitable machine the active ingredients in a free- flowing form such as powder or granules, optionally mixed with an excipient.

[00145] Examples of excipients that can be used in oral dosage forms provided herein include, but are not limited to, binders, fillers, disintegrants, and lubricants. Binders suitable for use in pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms include, but are not limited to, corn starch, potato starch, or other starches, gelatin, natural and synthetic gums such as acacia, sodium alginate, alginic acid, other alginates, powdered tragacanth, guar gum, cellulose and its derivatives (e.g., ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate, carboxymethyl cellulose calcium, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose), polyvinyl pyrrolidone, methyl cellulose, pre-gelatinized starch, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, (e.g., Nos. 2208, 2906, 2910), microcrystallme cellulose, and mixtures thereof.

[00146] Suitable forms of microcrystallme cellulose include, but are not limited to, the materials sold as AVICEL-PH-101, AVICEL-PH-103 AVICEL RC-581, AVICEL-PH-105 (available from FMC Corporation, American Viscose Division, Avicel Sales, Marcus Hook, PA), and mixtures thereof. A specific binder is a mixture of microcrystallme cellulose and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose sold as AVICEL RC-581. Suitable anhydrous or low moisture excipients or additives include AVICEL-PH-103™ and Starch 1500 LM. Other suitable forms of microcrystallme cellulose include, but are not limited to, silicified microcrystallme cellulose, such as the materials sold as PROSOLV 50, PROSOLV 90, PROSOLV HD90, PROSOLV 90 LM, and mixtures thereof.

[00147] Examples of fillers suitable for use in the pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms provided herein include, but are not limited to, talc, microcrystallme cellulose, powdered cellulose, dextrates, kaolin, mannitol, silicic acid, sorbitol, starch, pre-gelatinized starch, and mixtures thereof. The binder or filler in pharmaceutical compositions is, in one embodiment, present in from about 50 to about 99 weight percent of the pharmaceutical composition or dosage form. The binder or filler in pharmaceutical compositions is, in another embodiment, present in from about 20 to about 30 weight percent of the pharmaceutical composition or dosage form. The binder or filler in pharmaceutical compositions is, in another embodiment, present in about 24 weight percent of the pharmaceutical composition or dosage form.

[00148] In certain embodiments, fillers may include, but are not limited to block copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. Such block copolymers may be sold as POLOXAMER or PLURONIC, and include, but are not limited to POLOXAMER 188 NF, POLOXAMER 237 NF, POLOXAMER 338 NF, POLOXAMER 437 NF, and mixtures thereof. In certain embodiments, POLOXAMER or PLURONIC, including, but not limited to POLOXAMER 188 NF, POLOXAMER 237 NF, POLOXAMER 338 NF, POLOXAMER 437 NF, and mixtures thereof, are surfactants.

[00149] In certain embodiments, fillers may include, but are not limited to isomalt, lactose, lactitol, mannitol, sorbitol xylitol, erythritol, and mixtures thereof.

[00150] Disintegrants may be used in the compositions to provide tablets that disintegrate when exposed to an aqueous environment. Tablets that contain too much disintegrant may disintegrate in storage, while those that contain too little may not disintegrate at a desired rate or under the desired conditions. Thus, a sufficient amount of disintegrant that is neither too much nor too little to detrimentally alter the release of the active ingredients may be used to form solid oral dosage forms. The amount of disintegrant used varies based upon the type of formulation, and is readily discernible to those of ordinary skill in the art. In one embodiment,

pharmaceutical compositions comprise from about 0.5 to about 15 weight percent of disintegrant, or from about 5 to about 9 weight percent of disintegrant, or from about 1 to about 5 weight percent of disintegrant, or from about 1 to about 7 weight percent of disintegrant, or about 7 weight percent of disintegrant.

[00151] Disintegrants that can be used in pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms include, but are not limited to, agar-agar, alginic acid, calcium carbonate, microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, povidone, crospovidone, polacrilin potassium, sodium starch glycolate, potato or tapioca starch, other starches, pre-gelatinized starch, other starches, clays, other algins, other celluloses, gums, and mixtures thereof.

[00152] Glidants and/or lubricants that can be used in pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms include, but are not limited to, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, mineral oil, light mineral oil, glycerin, sorbitol, mannitol, polyethylene glycol, other glycols, stearic acid, sodium stearyl fumarate, sodium lauryl sulfate, talc, hydrogenated vegetable oil (e.g., peanut oil, cottonseed oil, sunflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil, and soybean oil), zinc stearate, ethyl oleate, ethyl laureate, agar, and mixtures thereof. Additional glidants include, for example, a syloid silica gel (AEROSIL200, manufactured by W.R. Grace Co. of Baltimore, MD), a coagulated aerosol of synthetic silica (marketed by Degussa Co. of Piano, TX), CAB-O-SIL (a pyrogenic colloidal silicon dioxide product sold by Cabot Co. of Boston, MA), and mixtures thereof. If used at all, glidants and/or lubricants may be used in an amount of less than about 1 weight percent of the pharmaceutical compositions or dosage forms into which they are incorporated.

[00153] In certain embodiments, an oral dosage form comprises the compound, silicified microcrystalline cellulose, sodium starch glycolate, a block copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, sodium stearyl fumarate and colloidal silicon dioxide. In certain embodiments, an oral dosage form comprises the Compound (I) in an amount of about 5% to about 75% by weight, silicified microcrystalline cellulose in an amount of about 15% to about 85%, sodium starch glycolate in an amount of about 2% to about 10%, block copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide in an amount of about 2% to about 10%, sodium stearyl fumarate in an amount of 0.2% to about 2%, and colloidal silicon dioxide in an amount of about 0.2% to about 2% by weight of the oral dosage form.

[00154] In certain embodiments, an oral dosage form comprises the compound, microcrystalline cellulose, isomalt, sodium starch glycolate, sodium lauryl sulfate, povidone, colloidal silicon dioxide, and magnesium stearate. In certain embodiments, an oral dosage form comprises the Compound (I) in an amount of about 40% to about 50%>, microcrystalline cellulose in an amount of about 40% to about 50%, isomalt in an amount of 0% to about 5%, sodium starch glycolate in an amount of about 5% to about 10%, sodium lauryl sulfate in an amount of 0.2% to about 2%, povidone in an amount of about 2% to about 10%, colloidal silicon dioxide in an amount of 0.1% to about 1%, and magnesium stearate in an amount of about 0.1% to about 1% by weight of the oral dosage form.

[00155] In certain embodiments, the invention relates to unit dosage forms that comprise between about 100 mg and about 1,200 mg, about 200 mg and about 1,000 mg, about 400 mg and about 800 mg, or about 450 mg and about 600 mg of Compound (I).

[00156] In certain embodiments, the invention relates to unit dosage forms that comprise about 100 mg, 150 mg, 200 mg, 250 mg, 300 mg, 350 mg, 400 mg, 450 mg, 500 mg, 550 mg, 600 mg, 650 mg, 700 mg, 750 mg, 800 mg, 850 mg, 900 mg, 950 mg, 1,000 mg, 1,050 mg, 1,100 mg, 1,150, or even about 1,200 mg of a solid form of Compound (I).

[00157] Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, and elixirs. In addition to the active ingredient, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art, such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents, and emulsifiers such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1 ,3-butylene glycol, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols, and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof.

[00161] The following non-limiting examples show methods for generating Compound (I) with high purity by removing Compound (II),

(II).

[00162] ChemDraw Ultra (Cambridgesoft, Cambridge, MA) was used to generate names for chemical structures.

6.1 Form A of Compound (Ϊ)

[00163] Precursor of Form A of Compound (I) (lO.Ol g, 0.033mol) was charged into a

500ml round bottom flask equipped with mechanical agitator, temperature probe and nitrogen line. 50ml THF was charged into the 500ml round bottom flask and the resulting mixture was agitated at room temperature until all solids dissolved. 50g deionized water was charged into the 500ml round bottom flask and the mixture was cooled down to 0-5°C.

[00164] A sodium hydroxide solution was prepared by mixing 6.65 g of 50% by weight aqueous sodium hydroxide solution with 50g water. The prepared sodium hydroxide solution was charged into the 500ml round bottom flask slowly while the temperature of the mixture was maintained between 0 and 5°C. The pH of the mixture was 13 after addition of the prepared sodium hydroxide solution. The mixture was warmed up to 19-25 °C and agitated for 1 to 2 hours (the mixture may be agitated longer).

[00165] 37% by weight concentrated aqueous HC1 solution was added slowly into the reaction mixture until the pH of the reaction mixure reached 5, while the temperature of the reaction mixture was maintained below 25°C. About 8.5g 37% by weight concentrated aqueous HC1 solution was used.

[00166] The mixture was then concentrated to about 60ml (55 to 65ml is recommended).

Additional 50g deionized water was added and the mixture was agitated for about 2 hours.

[00167] Solids were collected from the mixture by filtration and washed with 20g deionized water. The solid material was air dried until transferrable. The weight of the dried solid was 13.4g. The HPLC analysis indicated that the purity of the solid was 99.46%) (area%>).

6.1.1 Hot water trituration of Form A of Compound (I)

[00168] The solid material obtained in section 6.1 was charged into to a 500ml round bottom flask equipped with mechanical agitator, temperature probe and nitrogen line. 70g deionized water was charged into the 500ml round bottom flask and the resulting mixture was agitated at 70-80°C for 16 hours. After the mixture was cooled down to room temperature, solids were collected from the mixture by filtration and washed by 20g deionized water. The solid material was air dried until transferrable.

6.1.2 Charcoal treatment and recrystallization of Form A of

Compound (I)

[00169] The solid material obtained in section 6.1 was charged into to a 500ml round bottom flask equipped with mechanical agitator, temperature probe and nitrogen line. 130g acetone was charged into the 500ml round bottom flask and the resulting mixture was agitated at room temperature until all solids dissolved (ca. 30 minutes). If the solids did not dissolve completely, more acetone was added. The resulting solution was treated with activated carbon. The activated carbon was then removed by filtration and the resulting acetone solution was concentrated to about 73ml (70 to 75 ml is recommended). The concentrated acetone solution was heated to reflux. While keeping the solution below 50 °C, 65g water was added slowly. Precipitation of a light colored solid was observed. The mixture was cooled down to 22 °C (between 19 to 25 °C) over ca. 2 hours and agitated at 22 °C for ca. 2 to 3 hours. Solids were collected from the mixture by filtration and washed with a mixture of 11.5g acetone and 15g deionized water. The solid material was air dried for at least 6 hours. The weight of the dried solid material was 9.2g. The HPLC analysis indicated the purity of the solid was 99.71%

(area%>). 6.2 Solid Form A of Compound (I)

6.2.1 Characterization of Form A of Compound (I)

[00170] XRPD analysis as depicted in FIG. 1 shows Form A to be predominantly crystalline with sharp, distinct peaks up to 40° 2Θ on a reasonably flat baseline. The raised background from ca. 8° to 16° 2Θ is a known artifact due to the sample holder. A list of X-Ray Diffraction Peaks for Form A of Compound (I) is provided below in Table 1.

[00172] PLM analysis as depicted in FIG. 2 shows some birefringence under polarised light; however the crystals are very small with no clearly defined morphology.

[00173] TGA analysis as depicted in FIG. 3 shows negligible weight loss from ambient temperature, and then significant weight loss above ca. 220°C which is consistent with decomposition. DTA analysis as depicted in FIG. 3 shows a single sharp endotherm with an onset of 171.5°C.

[00174] DSC analysis as depicted in FIG. 4 shows a single sharp endotherm with an onset at 172.4°C and a peak at 175.8°C.

[00175] DVS analysis as depicted in FIG. 5 shows that water sorption at 90% RH is

0.13% indicating that the material is non-hygroscopic. XRPD analysis following DVS as depicted in FIG. 6 shows no change in form.

[00176] The FBRM data as depicted in FIG. 7 shows the material to consist of small particles with the majority being less than 100 μιη as illustrated in the non- weighted distribution.

[00177] The solution NMR spectrum as depicted in FIG. 8 is consistent with the structure of Compound (I). The IR absorption spectrum is provided in FIG. 9.

[00178] HPLC analysis as depicted in FIG. 10 indicates that the sample purity as shown in

Table 2. HPLC purity of Form A of Compound (I) 6.2.2 Solubility experiments

[00180] Approximately 20 mg of Form A of Compound (I) was placed in each of 48 vials and 5 volume aliquots of the appropriate solvent systems were added to the appropriate vial. Between each addition, the mixture was checked for dissolution and if no dissolution was apparent, the mixture was warmed to ca. 50°C and checked again. This procedure was continued until dissolution was observed or until 100 volumes of solvent had been added. The approximate solubilities are shown in Table 3.

[00181] Table 3. Solvent List for solubility experiement

Water <10 <10 6.2.3 Analysis Methods

[00182] XRPD analysis was conducted on a Siemens D5000, scanning the samples between 3 and 50 °2Θ. Approximately, 5 mg or less (material dependant) of sample was gently compressed on a glass disc inserted into an XRPD sample holder. The sample was then loaded into a Siemens D5000 diffractometer running in reflection mode and analysed, using the following experimental conditions in Table 4. A calibration check was performed on the Siemens D5000 XRPD on a monthly basis using the Alumina Powder Standard Reference Material 676a.

[00183] Table 4. X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD) experiemental conditions

[00184] It should be understood that the numerical values of the peaks of an X-ray powder diffraction pattern may vary slightly from one machine to another or from one sample to another, and so the values quoted are not to be construed as absolute, but with an allowable variability, such as ±0.2 degrees 2 theta (see e.g., Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 22nd ed.,

Pharmaceutical Press, (2012); The United States Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed., (2011)). [00185] Polarised Light Microscopy (PLM) was conducted on an Olympus BX50 polarising microscope, equipped with a Motic camera and image capture software (Motic Images Plus 2.0). All images were recorded using the 20x objective, unless otherwise stated.

[00186] Thermal Gravimetric/Differential Thermal Analysis (TG/DTA) were performed on a simultaneous thermogravimetric/differential thermal analyser. Approximately 5 mg or less (material dependant) was accurately weighed into an open aluminium pan and loaded into the analyser and held at room temperature. The sample was then heated at a rate of 10°C/min from 25°C to 300°C during which time the change in sample weight was recorded along with any differential thermal events (DTA). Nitrogen was used as the purge gas, at a flow rate of 100 cm ³ /min. The TGA furnace was cleaned by burn-out on a monthly basis prior to a temperature check using an Indium reference standard. A weight check was also performed on a monthly basis. DSC data can vary with scan rate and sample pan configuration.

[00187] Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) was performed on a Seiko DSC6200 equipped with a cooler. Approximately 5mg or less (material dependant) was accurately weighed into an aluminium DSC pan and sealed non-hermetically with a pierced aluminium lid. The sample pan was then loaded into the Seiko DSC6200 cooled and held at 25°C. Once a stable heat-flow response was obtained, the sample and reference were heated to ca. 220°C at scan rate of 10°C/min and the resulting heat flow response monitored. A monthly temperature check was performed using an Indium reference standard.

[00188] Dynamic Vapour Sorption (DVS) was performed on a DVS-1 dynamic vapour sorption balance by Surface Measurement Systems. Approximately 10-20 mg of sample was loaded into a wire mesh vapour sorption balance pan of the balance. The sample was subjected to a ramping profile from 20-90% relative humidity (RH) in 10 % increments, maintaining the sample at each step until a stable weight had been achieved (99.5 % step completion) or 1000 minutes had elapsed. After completion of the sorption cycle, the sample was dried using the same procedure, but all the way down to 0% RH and finally taken back to the starting point of 20% RH. The weight change during the sorption/desorption cycles were plotted, allowing for the hygroscopic nature of the sample to be determined. Following the DVS analysis, the solid was re-analysed by XRPD in order to determine whether there had been any change in physical form. [00189] Focussed Beam Reflectance Measurement (FBRM) was carried out using a

Mettler Toledo D600 probe for particle size analysis. The probe was placed into a suspension of the material in ca. 200ml acetonitrile and chord length distributions with various count statistics were monitored over a few minutes, while the sample was being stirred. A quarterly

performance verification was carried out on the FBRM using a PVC reference standard and a fixed beaker stand. FBRM data can vary depending on solubility in the solvent system used.

[00190] Infrared Spectroscopy (IR) was carried out on a Bruker ALPHA P spectrometer.

Sample material was placed onto the centre of a plate on the spectrometer and the spectra were obtained directly from the material (i.e. no KBr disc) using the following parameters in Table 5. An internal performance quality check on the IR spectrometer was performed on a monthly basis.

[00191] Table 5. Infrared Spectroscopy (IR) experiemental conditions

[00192] 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H NMR) experiements were performed on a

Bruker AV400 (1H frequency: 400 MHz). 1H NMR experiments of each sample were performed in OMSO-de and samples were prepared to ca. lmg/mL concentration.

6.3 Solid Form B of Compound (I)

[00196] Solid Form B of Compound (I) was prepared by weighing approximately 600 mg of Compound (I) into a 100 mL Duran flask and dissolving in approximately 40 mL of acetonitrile. The solution was then filtered into a clean 100 mL glass beaker and placed in a dessicator under vacuum until all solvent had been removed. XRPD analysis as depicted in FIG. 11 shows Form B to be predominantly crystalline with sharp, distinct peaks up to 40° 2Θ on a reasonably flat baseline. The raised background from ca. 8° to 16° 2Θ is a known artifact due to the sample holder.

[00197] TGA analysis of Form B showed a small weight loss of 1.2% between 100 °C and

130 °C, then significant weight loss above ca. 220 °C. DTA showed an event(s) between 120 °C and 135 °C (which corresponds to the weight loss by TGA), however it was indistinct. There was a main, sharp endotherm having an onset of 171.5 °C and a peak at 175.7 °C.

[00198] DSC analysis showed a small exotherm with an onset at 109.2 °C and a peak at

113.7 °C, followed by a main, sharp endotherm with an onset at 173.4 °C and a peak at 176.2 °C.

[00199] DVS analysis showed that water sorption at 90% RH was 0.33% indicating that the material is non-hygroscopic. XRPD analysis following DVS showed no change in form. [00200] Form B exhibits good qualities such as crystallinity and high melting point, along with being anhydrous and non-hygroscopic. However, Form B is metastable and can convert to Form A in slurries at high temperature.

6.4 Solid Form C of Compound (I)

[00201] An approximately 22% (g/ml) solution of Compound (I) in 2- methyltetrahydrofuran was adjusted to approximately 7% (g/mL) solution of Compound (I) in 2- methyltetrahydrofuran by adding n-heptane in not less than 30 minutes, at 40-50°C. The suspension was stirred at 40-50°C for not less than 1 hour, followed by slow cooling to 0-10°C. The suspension was stirred out for not less than 1 hour at 0-10°C and filtered. The wet cake was washed with cold n-heptane / 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (6: 1) and dried at not more than 50°C under vacuum, yielding Form C as white crystals. XRPD analysis as depicted in FIG. 12 shows Form C to be predominantly crystalline with sharp, distinct peaks up to 40° 2Θ on a reasonably flat baseline.
