Abstract

Provided herein are novel solid forms of each of four compounds: (1) heptadecan-9-yl 8-((2-hydroxyethyl)amino)octanoate (“Compound 1”), (2) heptadecan-9-yl 8-((2-hydroxyethyl)(6-oxo-6-(undecyloxy)hexyl)amino)octanoate (“Compound 2”), (3) heptadecan-9-yl 8-((2-hydroxyethyl)(8-(nonyloxy)-8-oxooctyl)amino)octanoate (“Compound 3”), and (6Z,9Z,28Z,31Z)-heptatriaconta-6,9,28,31-tetraen-19-yl 4-(dimethylamino)butanoate (“MC3”), and related compositions and methods.

Claims (20)

2. The salt or cocrystal of claim 1 , wherein the salt or cocrystal is a salt or cocrystal of Compound 2 and a compound selected from the group consisting of trimesic acid, (−)-2,3-dibenzoyl-L-tartaric acid, 4-acetamido benzoic acid, (+)-L-tartaric acid, and methanesulfonic acid.

3. The salt or cocrystal of claim 1 , wherein the salt or cocrystal exhibits an X-ray powder diffraction pattern obtained using CuKα radiation having peaks with 2-theta values substantially in accordance with FIG. 36, 38, 40, 42 , or 44 .

4. The salt or cocrystal of claim 1 , wherein the salt or cocrystal exhibits a differential scanning calorimetry thermogram substantially in accordance with the DSC profile shown in FIG. 37, 39, 41, 43 , or 45 .

5. The salt or cocrystal of claim 1 , wherein said salt or cocrystal is substantially free of impurities.

6. The salt or cocrystal of claim 1 , being an anhydrate, a solvate, or a hydrate.

7. The salt or cocrystal of claim 1 , wherein the stoichiometry of Compound 2 and the compound selected from the group consisting of trimesic acid, (−)-2,3-dibenzoyl-L-tartaric acid, 4-acetamido benzoic acid, (+)-L-tartaric acid, and methanesulfonic acid is within the range of from about 1:0.2 mol/mol to about 1:5 mol/mol.

8. The salt or cocrystal of claim 1 , wherein the stoichiometry of Compound 2 and the compound selected from the group consisting of trimesic acid, (−)-2,3-dibenzoyl-L-tartaric acid, 4-acetamido benzoic acid, (+)-L-tartaric acid, and methanesulfonic acid is about 1:1 mol/mol.

9. The salt or cocrystal of claim 1 , wherein the salt or cocrystal is a salt or cocrystal of Compound 2 and trimesic acid.

10. The salt or cocrystal of claim 9 , wherein the salt or cocrystal exhibits an X-ray powder diffraction pattern obtained using CuKα radiation having peaks with 2-theta values substantially in accordance with FIG. 38 .

11. The salt or cocrystal of claim 9 , wherein the salt or cocrystal exhibits a differential scanning calorimetry thermogram substantially in accordance with the DSC profile shown in FIG. 39 .
