The crystalline form of a particular drug as a salt, a hydrate and/or any polymorph thereof is
often one important determinant of the drug's ease of preparation, stability, water solubility,
storage stability, ease of formulation and in-vivo pharmacology. It is possible that one crystalline
form is preferable over another where certain aspects such as ease of preparation, stability,
25 water solubility and/or superior pharmacokinetics are deemed to be critical. Crystalline forms of

2-butenamide maleate. At this point, the maleate salt
product recovered and isolated is typically in the form of the monohydrate form of the.maleate
25 salt.
The product may be dried under vacuum with heating to make the anhydrous form of the
maleate salt (Form I) at about 70 to about 95% yield, preferably about 80 to about 95% yield.
This product is usually better than about 98% pure, and often about 99% pure. Typically, the
drying process is performed over about 12 to about 48 hours to get complete conversion of the
30 anhydrous form of the maleate salt to the monohydrate form of the maleate salt (Form II).
- 1 2 -
AM101869
Shorter drying times generally result in mixtures of the two crystalline forms. The drying
process is often performed at ^temperatures greater than room temperature. In one
embodiment, drying of the maleate salt is performed at a temperature greater than about 30°C,
preferably from about 40 °C to about 60 °C, and in another embodiment at about 50°C.
5 The maleate salt is soluble in many polar solvents, which will be known to one skilled in the art,
but dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is often used if a small solvent volume is desired. The DMSO
solution can be heated to about 45 °C to about 60°C to further enhance solubility. Once the
anhydrous maleate salt is in solution, water may be added, typically quickly, causing the
crystallization that provides the crystalline monohydrate form upon filtration. The anhydrous salt
10 may be dissolved in a solvent, for example DMSO, and to this solution may be added an
aqueous solution of water and an organic solvent, for example such as tetrahydrofuran (THF),
isopropanol (IPA), n-propanol, acetone, ethanol, methanol, and acetonitrile. In one embodiment,
the organic solvent used is IPA, in another embodiment it is n-propanol, and in a third
embodiment a mixture of these two organic solvents is used. The water content of the aqueous
15 solution can be as little as 5%, but. may be about 7.5% or greater, and in one embodiment is,
between about 10% and about 15%. The resulting solution then may be allowed to sit for up to
about 24 hours, and in one embodiment is allowed to sit for between about 12 hours and about
24 hours, to allow for crystallization-to occur. Filtration of the mixture yields a crystalline
monohydrate form of the maleate salt. For purposes of this invention, the term "organic solvent
20 and water" refers to a solution of an organic solvent, such, as for example tetrahydrofuran (THF),
DMSO, methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol or acetonitrile, and water wherein the organic
solvent comprises greater then 50% of the solution by volume.

6-quinolinyi}-4-(dimethylamino)-2-butenamide was isolated in three different crystalline forms:

quinofinyl}-4-(dimethylamino)~2-butenamide maleate monohydrate exhibits an X-ray diffraction
pattern wherein all of the X-ray diffraction peaks are at about the 20 angles disclosed above.
15 As used herein, the term isolated means that more than 50% of the crystalline (E)-N-{4-[3-
chloro-4-(2-pyridinylmethoxy)anilino]-3-cyano-7-ethoxy-6-quinolinylH-(dimethy!amino)-2-
butenamide maleate salt present is one of Forms I and ii. In one embodiment, at least 70% of
the crystalline (E)-N-{4-[3-chioro-4-(2-pyridinylmethoxy)anilino3-3-cyano-7-ethoxy-6-quinolinyl}-
4-(dimethyiamino)-2-butenamide maleate salt present is one of Forms I and II. In a second
20 embodiment; at least 80% of the maleate salt present is one of Forms I and II. In a third
embodiment, at least 90% of the maleate salt present is one of Forms I and II.
The two crystalline forms of (E)-N-{4-[3-chloro-4-(2-pyridinylmethoxy)anilino]-3-cyano-7-ethoxy-
6-quinolinyl}-4-(dimethylamino)-2-butenamide maleate, exhibit distinct XRD patterns and peaks.
The XRD pattern for each maleate salt form is unique to that salt form. The XRD patterns of
25 Forms ! and li were determined by using techniques and equipment known to those skilled in
the art of analytical chemistry and X-ray crystallography. XRD patterns were produced using
. powder samples and are comprised of a set of diffraction peaks, which can be expressed in 2
theta angles, d-spacing and/or relative peak intensities. The XRD patterns are shown in
Figures 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Collection parameters for the X-ray data provided in-Figures 1, 7 and 8
30 were as follows: voltage 40 kV; current 40.0 mA; 5.00- 30.00 degree scan range; Bruker D8
Advance instrument; scan step size 0.01°; total scan time 30 minutes; using a Vantec-1 detector
and Ni filter. The X-ray data in Figures 5 and 6 were collected as follows: voltage 30 kV; current
15 mA; 3-40 degree scan range; 2.007min; Rigaku Miniflex bench top X-ray diffractometer.

The two-theta diffraction angles and .the corresponding d-spacing values account for the
positions of the peaks found in a XRD pattern. D-spacing values are calculated with observed
two theta angles and copper Ka1 wavelength using the Bragg equation. Variations in these
numbers can result from using different diffractometers and also from the method of sample
5 preparation. However, more variation can be expected for the relative peak intensities.
Therefore,, identification of the various forms should be based upon the observed two-theta
angles and the d-spacings, and less importance should be given to the intensities. One skilled
in the art would understand that the XRD patterns of Forms I and II obtained as described
herein could contain additional peaks. Additionally, a skilled artisan would recognize that
10 whether all the peaks are observed for a given form may be highly dependent on the
concentration level of the form. Figure 1 illustrates XRD scans of the two crystalline forms of
the maleate salt, Form I and II. The crystalline anhydrous maieate salt form, Form I, is shown
on the bottom, while the crystalline monohydrate form of the maleate salt, Form II, is shown on
top.
15 The relative stability and hygroscopicity of the two crystalline forms of the maleate salt was;
studied in detail by dynamic vapor sorption (DVS). The anhydrous form of the maleate salt
absorbs water easily and converts to the crystalline monohydrate form of the maleate salt. Upon
drying or a drop in the relative humidity, the crystalline monohydrate form of the maieate salt
converts to the anhydrous form of the maleate salt, as summarized in Figure 2. Figure 2 is a
20 dynamic vapor sorption isotherm plot which shows that (E)-N-{4-[3-ch!oro-4-(2-
pyridinylmethoxy)anilino]-3-cyano-7-ethoxy-6-quinolinyl}-4-(dimethylamino)-2-butenamide
maleate, Form I, gains moisture above 40% relative humidity (RH), especially at 60% RH and
above. Figure 2 also shows that Form II loses water at 20% RH and below, especially at 10%
RH and below. DVS was performed under the following conditions: RH was set at 0%, 30%,
25 52.5%, 75% and 90%, with the sample exposed for 3 hours at each RH for two full cycles.
The two crystalline forms of (E)-N-{4~[3-chloro-4-(2-pyridinylmethoxy)anilino]-3-cyano-7-ethoxy-
6-quiholinyl}-4-(dimethylamino)-2~butenamide maleate exhibit distinct DSC traces. A DSC plot
of both Form I and Form II of the maleate salt is summarized in Figure 3. Form I of the maleate
salt exhibits one endothermic peak, indicating a transition temperature of 202.49° C. Form II of
30 the maleate salt exhibits two endothermic peaks, a broad endotherm. having an onset
temperature of 55° C corresponding to loss of water and a second endotherm indicating a
transition temperature of 202.81° C. The transition temperatures are observed in the range of
about 196-204°G at which melting. and decomposition occurs. DSC data, transition
temperatures and heat flow, were collected using a TA instrument model Q1000 with the
35 following parameters: 50 mL/min purge gas (N2); scan range 40 to 240 °C, scan rate 10 °C/min.
Pure, crystalline solids have a characteristic transition temperature, the temperature at which
- 1 6 -
AM101869
point the substance changes state, in -the present case the solid transitions to a liquid. The
• transition between the solid and the liquid is so sharp for smaii samples of a pure substance that
transition temperatures can be measured to 0.1°C. Because it is difficult to heat solids to
temperatures above their transition temperatures, and because pure solids tend to transition
5 over a very small temperature range, transition temperatures are often used to help identify
compounds. Measurements of the transition temperature of a solid can also provide information
about the purity of the substance. Pure, crystalline solids-transition over a very narrow range of
temperatures, whereas mixtures transition over a broad temperature range. Mixtures also tend
to transition at temperatures below the transition temperatures of the pure solids.
10 TGA data of the monohydrate and anhydrous forms of the maleate sait are summarized in
Figure 4. Form II of the maleate salt is characterized by a water content of about 2.5 to 2.7% by
weight, as measured by TGA, based on the weight of the compound as a monohydrate, TGA
data were collected using a TA Instrument Model Q. A heating rate of 10 °C/min between 30-
220 °C was used and the TGA chamber was under 40 mL/min flow of nitrogen.
15 A third crystalline form of the maleate is salt is observed and referred to as the partial hydrate
(Form III), as observed from XRD. The partial hydrate is a mixture of Form I and Form II of the
maleate salt. The partially hydrated (E)-N-{4-[3^chloro-4-(2-pyridinylmethoxy)aniIino]-3-cyano-7-
ethoxy"6-quinolinyl}-4-(dimethylamino)-2-butenamide maleate (Form Hi), is characterized by a
water content of about 0.8 to about 2.4% by weight, including about 1.5% to about 2.3% by
20 weight, based on the weight of the compound.
[0001]Figure 5 includes an XRD scan of each of anhydrous Form I, monohydrate Form li and
partial hydrate Form Ml of (E)-N-{4-[3»chloro-4-(2-pyridinylmethoxy)anilino]-3-cyano-7-ethoxy-6-
quino!inyl}-4-(dimethylamino)-2-butenamide" maleate after exposure of the anhydrous form of
the maleate salt to a relative humidity of 75% at an ambient temperature of 20-25°C for 22 days.
25 Figure 6 is an XRD scan of two batches of crystalline (E)-N-{4-[3-chloro-4-(2-
pyridiny(methoxy)aninno3-3-cyano-7-ethoxy-6-quinolinyl}-4-(dimethyiamino)-2"butenamide
maleate in Form I. The anhydrous form of the maleate salt absorbs water and partially converts
to the monohydrate form of the maleate salt at an ambient temperature of 20-25°C over 24
hours. The monohydrate form of the maleate salt is relatively stable at an ambient temperature
30 of 20-25°C for 24 hours. Figure 7 illustrates an XRD scan of crystalline (E)-N-{4-[3-chioro-4-(2-
pyridinylmethoxy)anilino]-3-cyano-7-ethbxy-6-quinolinyl}-4-(dimethylamino)-2-butenamide
maleate in Form II, before and after exposure to relative humidity of 50-60% at an ambient
temperature of 20-25°C for 24 hours. Exposing the monohydrate form of the maleate salt to
-17-
AM101869
higher temperatures (> 50° C) or heating under reduced pressure promotes water loss and full
conversion back to the anhydrous form of the maleate salt.
Form I, the anhydrous form, is readily converted to the monohydrate form, Form II. Form I can
absorb water and convert partially to the monohydrate at a temperature of 20-25°C and a
5 relative humidity (RH) of 50-60% over time, as shown in Figure 8. Figure 8 is an XRD scan of
crystalline (E)-N-{4-[3-chloro-4-(2-pyridinyimethoxy)anilino]-3-cyano-7-ethoxy-6-quinolinyI}-4-
(dimethyiamino)-2-butenamide maleate in Form I before (lower scan), and after (upper scan)
exposure to relative humidity of 50-60% at room temperature of 20-25°C for 24 hours. Hydrate
peaks appear in the upper scan, indicating that the crystals absorb water under these
10 conditions.
The stability of both forms of the maieate salt of (E)-N-{4-[3-chloro-4-(2-
pyridinylmethoxy)anilino]-3-cyano-7-ethoxy-6-quinolinyl}-4-(dimethylamino)-2-butenamide was
evaluated.in closed and open containers at 40°C and 75% RH. Both Form I and Form II
remained stable for 6 months under these conditions. In the open containers, the anhydrous'
15 form of the maleate salt rapidly absorbed one mole of water to form the monohydrate form of
the maleate salt. Samples in the closed containers remained dry. HPLC purity analysis
indicated no significant increase in degradation products in both open and closed conditions for
up to 6 months. The data is summarized in Table 5.

One solvent that appreciably dissolves, the (E)-N-{4-[3-chloro-4-(2-pyridtnylmethoxy)aniiino3-3-
cyano-7-ethoxy-6-quinolinyl}-4-(dimethylamino)-2-butenamide maleate salt is dimethylsulfoxide
(DMSO). Cooling, anti-solvent and evaporative crystallization were performed in mixtures of
DMSO and isopropanol or t-butyl methyl ether (tBME). The approach led to the decomposition
of the solute in many cases. Anti-solvent and evaporative crystallization did not result in any
new crystalline forms, as summarized in Tables 8 and 9.

According to one embodiment, one way to convert anhydrous Form I into monohydrate Form II
is by dissolving the salt into a solution of an organic solvent, for example such as THF,
isopropanol (IPA), n-propanol, acetone, ethanol, methanol, and acetonttrile, and water, where in
the water present is about 5% to about 20% by volume, though typically the water present is
about 10% to about 15% by volume. This solution may be heated to increase solubility of the
maleate salt; in one embodiment it is heated to about 45°C or greater, in another embodiment it
is heated to about 60°C. The solution is then allowed to sit for a period of hours to allow for
crystallization, and the crystals are then filtered to give monohydrate Form II (see Table 6). In
one embodiment the solution is allowed to sit for between about 12 and about 24 hours before
filtration.
AM101869
According to a separate embodiment, Form I is converted to Form II by re-slurrying it in organic
solvent containing water-and allowing the solution to stand exposed to the room temperature for
several days, as shown in stability studies summarized in Table 10, This conversion will take
place even in anhydrous solvents that have absorbed up to 1% water because anhydrous Form
5 I readily absorbs moisture, as evidenced by Figure 8. In one embodiment the re-slurry is
allowed to stand for about 14 days.

10 The present invention is also directed to compounds associated with the free base or the
maleate salt of (E)-N-{4-[3-chloro-4-(2~pyridinyimethoxy)anilino]-3"Cyano-7-ethoxy-6-quinolinyl}-
4-(dimethyiamino)-2-butenamide, or the methods of this invention. One or more of these
associated compounds may be found in the cooled solution in a process of this invention. Since
these compounds may not be separated from the maleate salt, a pharmaceutical formulation
15 prepared with the maleate salt may contain one or more of these compounds.
Formulations of the maleate salt were prepared and stored in 40°C/75%RH stability chambers
for six months and in a 56°C oven for one month. Samples were periodically pulled for testing.
Samples were dissolved in 50/50 volume/volume acetonitriie/water with a concentration at about
0.5 mg/mL. The solutions were assayed directly using LC/MS methodology to identify any
20 degradation products and impurities (referred to herein as associated compounds) at six-
