Specification

DESC:The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed.

INTRODUCTION
Aspects of the present application relates to crystalline forms of salts of Deutetrabenazine, process for the preparation thereof and pharmaceutical composition of crystalline forms of salts.
Deutetrabenazine or d6-tetrabenazine is a deuterated analog of tetrabenazine. The drug compound having the adopted name “Deutetrabenazine” has chemical name: (RR, SS)-1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 11b-hexahydro-9, 10-di(methoxy-d3)-3-(2-methylpropyl)-2H-benzo[a]quinolizin-2-one. Deutetrabenazine is a racemic mixture containing the following structures:

RR-Deutetrabenazine SS-Deutetrabenazine
AUSTEDOTM (Deutetrabenazine) is a vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitor for oral administration. AUSTEDOTM was approved as oral tablets (6 mg, 9 mg, and 12 mg) by USFDA on 3 April 2017 for the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington’s disease. In August 2017 it was also approved for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia in adults.
US8524733B1 discloses Deutetrabenazine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, method for the treatment of chronic hyperkinetic movement disorders and pharmaceutical composition thereof.
US9550780B2 discloses crystalline Form I and crystalline Form II of Deutetrabenazine.
WO2017221169A1 discloses premixes of deutetrabenazine with polyvinylpyrrolidone K-30, copovidone, talc and magnesium stearate.
The occurrence of different crystal forms, i.e., polymorphism, is a property of some compounds. A single molecule may give rise to a variety of polymorphs having distinct crystal structures and physical properties, such as PXRD patterns, IR absorption spectra, melting points (MP), TGA curves, DSC curves, and solubilities. Polymorphs are different solids having the same molecular structure, yet having distinct physical properties when compared to other polymorphs of the same structure.
The discovery of new polymorphs and solvates of a pharmaceutical active compound provides an opportunity to improve the performance of a drug product in terms of its bioavailability or release profile in vivo, or it may have improved stability or advantageous handling properties. Polymorphism is an unpredictable property of any given compound. This subject has been reviewed in recent articles, including A. Goho, “Tricky Business,” Science News, August 21, 2004. In general, one cannot predict whether there will be more than one form for a compound, how many forms will eventually be discovered, or how to prepare any previously unidentified form.
There remains a need to provide the new polymorphic forms of Deutetrabenazine which can be used in the pharmaceutical composition.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present application provides crystalline forms of Deutetrabenazine salts and process for preparing said crystalline forms and pharmaceutical composition comprising said crystalline forms.
