AMORPHOUS SOLID DISPERSIONS OF ASUNDEXIAN

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application claims the benefit of Indian provisional patent application No. 202441007648 filed on 5 Feb 2024.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to amorphous solid dispersions of Asundexian, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The drug compound, having the International Non-Proprietary Name Asundexian has a chemical name 4-[[(2S)-2-[4-[5-chloro-2-[4-(trifluoromethyl)triazol-1-yl]phenyl]-5-methoxy-2-oxopyridin-1-yl]butanoyl]amino]-2-fluorobenzamide, and has the structure of Formula I

I
Asundexian is a small molecule factor XIa inhibitor developed by Bayer for the treatment of thrombotic disorders such as Thromboembolic events, Atrial Fibrillation, Acute Myocardial Infarction, and Non-cardioembolic Ischemic Stroke.
PCT publication WO 2017/005725 A1 describes substituted oxopyridine derivatives including Asundexian, their synthetic methods and their pharmaceutical compositions and their use as potent factor XIa inhibitors. Preparation of racemic Asundexian is exemplified in example-234 and separation of enantiomers using chiral HPLC is exemplified example-235.
PCT publication WO 2022/189278 A1 describes amorphous solid dispersions and solid pharmaceutical dosage forms of Asundexian for oral administration.
PCT publication WO 2022/189279 A1 describes crystalline modification I and crystalline modification II of Asundexian, process for their preparation and their use in pharmaceutical compositions.
PCT publication WO 2022/189280 A1 describes certain solvate forms of Asundexian, their preparative methods and pharmaceutical compositions.
PCT publication WO 2023/174399 A1 describes crystalline form A of Asundexian, process for their preparation and their use in pharmaceutical compositions.
The occurrences of different solid forms are possible for some compounds. A single compound may exist in different solid forms. Various solid forms of a drug substance can have different chemical and physical properties, including melting point, chemical reactivity, apparent solubility, dissolution rate, optical and mechanical properties, vapor pressure, and density. These properties can have a direct effect on the ability to process and/or manufacture the drug substance and the drug product, as well as on drug product stability, dissolution, and bioavailability. Thus, solid forms can affect the quality, safety, and efficacy of the drug product, regulatory authorities require that efforts shall be made to identify all solid forms, e.g., crystalline, amorphous, solvated, etc., of drug substance.
It has been "disclosed in the art that amorphous forms in a number of drugs exhibit different dissolution characteristics and in some cases different bioavailability patterns compared to crystalline forms [Konne T., Chem pharm Bull., 38, 2003(1990)]. Typically, the more crystalline the pharmaceutical agent, the lower is its bioavailability or vice versa, reducing the degree of crystallinity has a positive effect on bioavailability. Amorphous material generally offers interesting properties such as higher dissolution rate and solubility than crystalline forms, typically resulting in improved bioavailability.
New solid state forms and solid dispersions of a pharmaceutically useful compound or salts thereof can also provide an opportunity to improve the performance characteristics of a pharmaceutical product. It enlarges the repertoire of materials that a formulation scientist has available for formulation optimization, for example by providing a product with different properties, e.g., better processing or handling characteristics, improved dissolution profile, or improved shelf-life. For at least these reasons, there is a need for additional solid dispersions of Asundexian.
