Abstract

The present invention relates to active polymorphs of 4-[2-(5-cyano-thiazol-2-ylamino)-pyridin-4-ylmethyl]-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid methylamide which inhibit, regulate and/or modulate tyrosine kinase signal transduction, compositions which contain these compounds, and methods of using them to treat tyrosine kinase-dependent diseases and conditions, such as angio-genesis, cancer, tumor growth, atherosclerosis, age related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal ischemia, macular edema, inflammatory diseases, and the like in mammals.

Claims (17)

1. Polymorph Form 1 of the free base of 4-[2-(5-cyano-thiazol-2-ylamino)-pyridin-4-ylmethyl]-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid methylamide characterized by an X-ray powder diffraction pattern having diffraction angles of: 4.42, 8.93, 12.69, 13.39, 13.95, 14.44, 15.44, 15.72, 16.60, 18.31, 19.84, 21.55, 22.86, 23.54, 24.87, 25.92, 27.73, and 28.53.

2. Polymorph Form 2 of the free base of 4-[2-(5-cyano-thiazol-2-ylamino)-pyridin-4-ylmethyl]-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid methylamide characterized by an X-ray powder diffraction pattern having diffraction angles of: 4.29, 8.72, 12.35, 13.16, 14.50, 15.05, 15.83, 16.06, 16.44, 16.84, 18.04, 19.73, 21.15, 22.27, 23.41, 24.65, 25.05, 25.57, 26.25, and 27.11.

3. A pharmaceutical composition that is comprised of the polymorph form in accordance with claim 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

4. A pharmaceutical composition that is comprised of the polymorph form in accordance with claim 2 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

5. The composition of claim 3 further comprising a second compound selected from:

1) an estrogen receptor modulator,

2) an androgen receptor modulator,

3) retinoid receptor modulator,

4) a cytotoxic agent,

5) an antiproliferative agent,

6) a prenyl-protein transferase inhibitor,

7) an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor,

8) an HIV protease inhibitor,

9) a reverse transcriptase inhibitor, and

10) another angiogenesis inhibitor.

6. The composition of claim 5 , wherein the second compound is another angiogenesis inhibitor selected from the group consisting of a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, an inhibitor of epidermal-derived growth factor, an inhibitor of fibroblast-derived growth factor, an inhibitor of platelet derived growth factor, an MMP inhibitor, an integrin blocker, interferon-α, interleukin-12, pentosan polysulfate, a cyclooxygenase inhibitor, carboxyamidotriazole, combretastatin A-4, squalamine, 6-O-chloroacetyl-carbonyl)-fumagillol, thalidomide, angiostatin, troponin-1, and an antibody to VEGF.
