`TITLE OF THE INVENTION
`
`PHOSPHORIC ACID SALT OF A DIPEPTIDYL PEPTIDASE-IV INHIBITOR
`
`CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
`
`The present invention is related to U.S. provisional application Serial No. 60/482,161,
`
`filed June 24, 2003, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
`
`FIELD OF THE INVENTION
`
`The present invention relates to a particular salt of a dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitor.
`
`.10
`
`15
`
`More particularly, the invention relates to a dihydrogenphosphate salt of 4-oxo-4-[3-(tn'fluoromethyl)-
`
`5,6—dihydro[1,2,4]tn'azolo[4,3-a]pyrazin-7(8H)-yl]-l—(2,4,5-trifluorophenyl)butan-2—amine, which is a
`
`potent inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase-IV. This novel salt and crystalline hydrates thereof are useful for
`
`the treatment and prevention of diseases and conditions for which an inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase-IV
`
`is indicated, in particular Type 2 diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure. The invention further
`
`concerns pharmaceutical compositions comprising the dihydrogenphosphate salt and crystalline hydrates
`
`thereof useful to treat Type 2 diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure as well as processes for
`
`preparing the dihydrogenphosphate salt and crystalline hydrates thereof and their pharmaceutical
`
`compositions.
`
`20
`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`Inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase—IV (DP—IV), an enzyme that inactivates both glucose—
`
`dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-l), represents a novel approach
`
`to the treatment and prevention of Type 2 diabetes, also known as non-insulin dependent diabetes
`
`mellitus (NIDDM). The therapeutic potential of DP—IV inhibitors for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes
`
`has been reviewed: C. F. Deacon and J.J . Holst, “Dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibition as an approach to the
`
`treatment and prevention of Type 2 diabetes: a historical perspective,” Biochem. Biophys. Res.
`
`Commun., 294: 1-4 (2000); K. Augustyns, et al., “Dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors as new therapeutic
`
`agents for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes,” Expert. Opin. Ther. Patents, 13: 499-510 (2003); and DJ .

`
`diabetes,” Expert Opin. Investig. Drugs, 12: 87—100 (2003).

`
`of beta-amino tetrahydrotriazolo[4,3-a]pyrazines, which are potent inhibitors of DP-IV and therefore
`
`useful for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes. Specifically disclosed in WC 03/004498 is 4—oxo—4-[3-
`

`
`amine. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of this compound are generically encompassed within the
`
`scope of WO 03/004498.
`
`However, there is no specific disclosure in the above reference of the newly discovered
`
`monobasic dihydrogenphosphate salt of 4-oxo-4-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-5,6-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-

`
`SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
`
`10
`
`15
`
`The present invention is concerned with a novel dihydrogenphosphate salt of the
`
`dipeptidyl peptidase—IV (DP-IV) inhibitor 4—oxo—4—[3—(trifluoromethyl)-5,6-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-
`
`a]pyrazin-7(8H)-yl]—1-(2,4,5-trifluorophenyl)butan-Z-amine and crystalline hydrates thereof, in particular
`
`a crystalline monohydrate. The dihydrogenphosphate salt and crystalline hydrates of the present
`
`invention have advantages in the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions of 4-oxo-4-[3—
`
`(trifluoromethyl)—5,6-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrazin-7(8H)-yl]-1-(2,4,5-trifluorophenyl)butan—2-
`
`amine, such as ease of processing, handling, and dosing. In particular, they exhibit improved physical
`
`and chemical stability, such as stability to stress, high temperatures and humidity, as well as improved
`
`physicochemical properties, such as solubility and rate of solution, rendering them particularly suitable
`
`for the manufacture of various pharmaceutical dosage forms. The invention also concerns
`
`pharmaceutical compositions containing the novel salt and hydrates as well as methods for using them as
`
`DP—IV inhibitors, in particular for the prevention or treatment of Type 2 diabetes, obesity, and high blood
`
`20
`
`pressure.

`
`More specifically, the dihydrogenphosphate salt of the present invention is comprised of
`
`one molar equivalent of mono-protonated 4-0xo-4-[3-(trifluoromethyl)—5,6-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-
`
`a]pyrazin-7(8H)—yl]—1-(2,4,5-trifluorophenyl)butan-2-amine cation and one molar equivalent of
`
`dihydrogenphosphate (biphosphate) anion.
`
`In a further embodiment of the present invention, the dihydrogenphosphate salt of
`
`structural formulae I—III is a crystalline hydrate. In one class of this embodiment, the crystalline hydrate
`
`is a crystalline monohydrate.
`
`A further embodiment of the present invention provides the dihydrogenphosphate salt
`
`drug substance of structural formulae I-III that comprises the crystalline monohydrate present in a
`
`detectable amount. By “drug substance” is meant the active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”). The
`
`amount of crystalline monohydrate in the drug substance can be quantified by the use of physical
`methods such as X-ray powder diffraction, solid-state fluorine-l9 magic—angle hspinning (MAS) nuclear
`
`magnetic resonance spectroscopy, solid-state carbon-13 cross-polarization magic-angle spinning
`
`(CPMAS) nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, solid state Fourier—transform infrared spectroscopy,
`
`and Raman spectroscopy. In a class of this embodiment, about 5% to about 100% by weight of the
`
`crystalline monohydrate is present in the drug substance. In a second class of this embodiment, about
`
`10% to about 100% by weight of the crystalline monohydrate is present in the drug substance.
`
`In a third
`
`class of this embodiment, about 25% to about 100% by weight of the crystalline monohydrate is present
`
`in the drug substance. In a fourth class of this embodiment, about 50% to about 100% by weight of the
`
`crystalline monohydrate is present in the drug substance. In a fifth class of this embodiment, about 75%
`
`to about 100% by weight of the crystalline monohydrate is present in the drug substance.
`
`In a sixth class
`
`of this embodiment, substantially all of the dihydrogenphosphate salt drug substance is the crystalline
`
`monohydrate of the present invention, i.e., the dihydrogenphosphate salt drug substance is substantially
`
`phase pure monohydrate.
`
`The crystalline dihydrogenphosphate salt of the present invention exhibits pharmaceutic
`
`advantages over the free base and the previously disclosed hydrochloride salt (WO 03/004498) in the
`
`preparation of a pharmaceutical drug product containing the pharmacologically active ingredient.

`
`particular, the enhanced chemical and physical stability of the crystalline dihydrogenphosphate salt
`
`monohydrate constitute advantageous properties in the preparation of solid pharmaceutical dosage forms
`
`containing the pharmacologically active ingredient.
`
`The dihydrogenphosphate salt of the present invention, which exhibits potent DP-IV
`
`inhibitory properties, is particularly useful for the prevention or treatment of Type 2 diabetes, obesity,
`
`and high blood pressure.
`
`Another aspect of the present invention provides a method for the prevention or
`
`treatment of clinical conditions for which an inhibitor of DP-IV is indicated, which method comprises
`
`administering to a patient in need of such prevention or treatment a prophylactically or therapeutically
`
`effective amount of the dihydrogenphosphate salt of structural formula I or a hydrate thereof, in
`
`particular the crystalline monohydrate thereof. Such clinical conditions include diabetes, in particular
`
`Type 2 diabetes, hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and obesity.
`
`The present invention also provides the use of the dihydrogenphosphate salt of structural
`
`formula I or a hydrate thereof, in particular the crystalline monohydrate, for the manufacture of a
`
`medicament for the prevention or treatment of clinical conditions for which an inhibitor of DP—IV is
`indicated.
`
`The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising the
`
`dihydrogenphosphate salt of structural formula I or a hydrate thereof, in particular the crystalline
`
`monohydrate, in association with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or excipients. In one
`
`embodiment the pharmaceutical composition comprise a therapeutically effective amount of the active
`
`pharmaceutical ingredient in admixture with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients wherein the active
`
`pharmaceutical ingredient comprises a detectable amount of the crystalline monohydrate of the present
`
`invention. In a second embodiment the pharmaceutical composition comprise a therapeutically effective
`
`amount of the active pharmaceutical ingredient in admixture with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients
`
`wherein the active pharmaceutical ingredient comprises about 5% to about 100% by weight of the
`
`crystalline monohydrate of the present invention. In a class of this second embodiment, the active
`
`pharmaceutical ingredient in such compositions comprises about 10% to about 100% by weight of the
`
`crystalline monohydrate. In a second class of this embodiment, the active pharmaceutical ingredient in
`
`such compositions comprises about 25% to about 100% by weight of the crystalline monohydrate. In a
`
`third class of this embodiment, the active pharmaceutical ingredient in such compositions comprises
`
`about 50% to about 100% by weight of the crystalline monohydrate. In a fourth class of this
`
`embodiment, the active pharmaceutical ingredient in such compositions comprises about 75% to about
`
`100% by weight of the crystalline monohydrate. In a fifth class of this embodiment, substantially all of
`
`the active pharmaceutical ingredient is the crystalline dihydrogenphosphate salt monohydrate of the

`
`present invention, i.e., the active pharmaceutical ingredient is substantially phase pure
`
`dihydrogenphosphate salt monohydrate.
`
`The compositions in accordance with the invention are suitably in unit dosage forms
`
`such as tablets, pills, capsules, powders, granules, sterile solutions or suspensions, metered aerosol or
`
`liquid sprays, drops, ampoules, auto-injector devices or suppositories. The compositions are intended for
`
`oral, parenteral, intranasal, sublingual, or rectal administration, or for administration by inhalation or
`
`insufflation. Formulation of the compositions according to the invention can conveniently be effected by
`
`methods lmown from the art, for example, as described in Remington’s Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17th ed.,
`1995.
`
`The dosage regimen is selected in accordance with a variety of factors including type,
`
`species, age, weight, sex and medical condition of the patient; the severity of the condition to be treated;
`
`the route of administration; and the renal and hepatic function of the patient. An ordinarily skilled
`
`physician, veterinarian, or clinician can readily determine and prescribe the effective amount of the drug
`
`required to prevent, counter or arrest the progress of the condition.
`
`Oral dosages of the present invention, when used for the indicated effects, will range
`
`between about 0.01 mg per kg of body weight per day (mg/kg/day) to about 100 mg/kg/day, preferably
`
`0.01 to 10 mg/kg/day, and most preferably 0.1 to 5.0 mg/kg/day. For oral administration, the
`
`compositions are preferably provided in the form of tablets containing 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0,
`
`10.0, 15.0, 25.0, 50.0, 100, 200, and 500 milligrams of the active ingredient for the symptomatic
`
`adjustment of the dosage to the patient to be treated. A medicament typically contains from about 0.01
`
`mg to about 500 mg of the active ingredient, preferably, from about 1 mg to about 200 mg of active
`
`ingredient. Intravenously, the most preferred doses will range from about 0.1 to about 10 mg/kg/minute
`
`during a constant rate infusion. Advantageously, the crystalline forms of the present invention may be
`
`administered in a single daily dose, or the total daily dosage may be administered in divided doses of
`
`two, three or four times daily. Furthermore, the crystalline forms of the present invention can be
`
`administered in intranasal form via topical use of suitable intranasal vehicles, or via transdermal routes,
`
`using those forms of transdermal skin patches well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. To be
`
`administered in the form of a transdermal delivery system, the dosage administration will, of course, be
`
`continuous rather than intermittent throughout the dosage regimen.
`
`In the methods of the present invention, the dihydrogenphosphate salt and crystalline
`
`hydrates herein described in detail can form the active pharmaceutical ingredient, and are typically
`
`administered in admixture with suitable pharmaceutical diluents, excipients or carriers (collectively
`
`referred to herein as 'carrier' materials) suitably selected with respect to the intended form of
`
`administration, that is, oral tablets, capsules, elixirs, syrups and the like, and consistent with conventional

`
`For instance, for oral administration in the form of a tablet or capsule, the active
`
`pharmaceutical ingredient can be combined with an oral, non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable, inert
`
`carrier such as lactose, starch, sucrose, glucose, methyl cellulose, magnesium stearate, dicalcium
`
`phosphate, calcium sulfate, mannitol, sorbitol and the like; for oral administration in liquid form, the
`
`active pharmaceutical ingredient can be combined with any oral, non—toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable
`
`inert carrier such as ethanol, glycerol, water and the like. Moreover, when desired or necessary, suitable
`
`binders, lubricants, disintegrating agents and coloring agents can also be incorporated into the mixture.
`
`Suitable binders include starch, gelatin, natural sugars such as glucose or beta-lactose, corn sweeteners,
`

`
`The dihydrogenphosphate salt of structural formula I and the crystalline monohydrate
`
`have been found to possess a high solubility in water, rendering it especially amenable to the preparation
`of formulations, in particular intranasal and intravenous formulations, which require relatively
`
`concentrated aqueous solutions of active ingredient. The solubility of the crystalline
`
`dihydrogenphosphate salt monohydrate of formula I in water has been found to be about 72 mg/mL.
`
`According to a further aspect, the present invention provides a process for the
`
`preparation of the dihydrogenphosphate salt of formula I, which process comprises reacting 4—oxo-4-[3-
`
`(trifluoromethyl)—5 ,6—dihydro[ l ,2,4]triazolo[4,3—a]pyrazin—7(8H)-yl]-1-(2,4,5 —trifluorop henyl)butan-2—
`amine of structural formula IV below:
`
`(IV)
`
`CF3
`
`with approximately one equivalent of phosphoric acid in a suitable C 1—C5 alkanol, such as methanol,
`
`ethanol, isopropyl alcohol (IPA), and isoamyl alcohol (1AA) or aqueous C1-C5 alkanol. The reaction is
`
`carried out at a temperature range of about 25 °C to about 80 °C. The phosphoric acid solution can be
`
`added to a solution of the amine, or the addition can be performed in the reverse direction. The
`
`crystalline dihydrogenphosphate salt monohydrate is obtained by crystallization from an aqueous C1—C5
`
`alkanol solution of the dihydrogenphosphate salt as described below.

`
`In a still further aspect, the present invention provides a method for the treatment and/or
`
`prevention of clinical conditions for which a DP-IV inhibitor is indicated, which method comprises
`
`administering to a patient in need of such prevention or treatment a prophylactically or therapeutically
`
`effective amount of the salt of Formula I as defined above or a crystalline hydrate thereof.
`
`The following non-limiting Examples are intended to illustrate the present invention and
`
`should not be construed as being limitations on the scope or spirit of the instant invention.
`
`Compounds described herein may exist as tautomers such as keto-enol tautomers. The
`
`individual tautomers as well as mixtures thereof are encompassed with compounds of structural formula
`I.
`
`The term “% enantiomeric excess” (abbreviated “ee”) shall mean the % major
`
`enantiomer less the % minor enantiomer. Thus, a 70% enantiomeric excess corresponds to formation of
`
`85% of one enantiomer and 15% of the other. The term “enantiomeric excess” is synonymous with the
`
`term “optical purity.”

`
`31.5 g of ethyl trifluoroacetate (0.22 mol) was added over 60 min. The internal temperature was
`
`10
`
`increased to 25 °C from 14 °C. The resulting solution was aged at 22 — 25 °C for 60 min. The solution
`
`was cooled to 7 °C. 17.9 g of 50 wt% aqueous NaOH (0.22 mol) and 25.3 g of chloroacetyl chloride
`
`(0.22 mol) were added simultaneously over 130 min at a temperature below 16 °C. When the reaction
`
`was complete, the mixture was vacuum distilled to remove water and ethanol at 27 ~ 30 °C and under 26
`
`~ 27 in Hg vacuum. During the distillation, 720 mL of acetonitrile was added slowly to maintain
`
`15
`
`constant volume (approximately 500 mL). The slurry was filtered to remove sodium chloride. The cake
`
`was rinsed with about 100 mL of acetonitrile. Removal of the solvent afforded bis-hydrazide H (43.2 g,
`
`96.5% yield, 94.4 area% pure by I-IPLC assay).
