Solid salt forms of a pyrrole substituted 2-indolinone
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to solid salt forms of the 3-pyrrole substituted 2-indolinone compound 5-[5-fluoro-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-indol-(3Z)-ylidenemethyl]-2,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid (2-pirrolidin-1-yl-ethyl)-amide. It also relates to polymorphs of the phosphate salt of the amide. The invention further relates to the use of the salts and polymorphs in the treatment of protein kinase related disorders.
1. A polymorph of the citrate salt of 5-[5-fluoro-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-indol-(3Z)-ylidenemethyl]-2,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid (2-pyrrolidin-1-yl-ethyl)-amide, wherein said polymorph has a powder X-ray diffraction spectrum comprising peaks expressed in degrees (±0.1 degree) of two theta angle of 9.1, 9.4, 14.2, 25.4, and 26.8 obtained using CuKα 1 emission (wavelength=1.5406 Angstroms) and wherein said polymorph has a melting point of about 178 to about 183° C.
2. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the polymorph of claim 1 , and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.
3. A method for the modulation of the catalytic activity of protein kinases, comprising contacting said protein kinase with the polymorph of claim 1 .
4. A method of claim 3 , wherein the protein kinase is selected from the group consisting of receptor tyrosine kinases, non-receptor protein tyrosine kinases, and serine/threonine protein kinases.
