Abstract

Provided herein are salts of (S)-2-amino-3-methyl-butyric acid (2R,3R,11bR)-3-isobutyl-9,10-dimethoxy-1,3,4,6,7,11b-hexahydro-2H-pyrido[2,1-a]isoquinolin-2-yl ester in amorphous and crystalline forms, and processes of preparation, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof. Also provided are methods of their use for treating, preventing, or ameliorating one or more symptoms of neurological disorders and diseases including hyperkinetic movement disorders or diseases.

Claims (27)

1. A crystalline form of (S)-2-amino-3-methyl-butyric acid (2R,3R,11bR)-3-isobutyl-9,10-dimethoxy-1,3,4,6,7,11b-hexahydro-2H-pyrido[2,1-a]isoquinolin-2-yl ester tosylate salt having a differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) onset temperature within 2% of 240° C.

2. The crystalline form of claim 1 , wherein the DSC onset temperature is within 1% of 240° C.

3. The crystalline form of claim 1 , wherein the DSC onset temperature is within 0.5% of 240° C.
