Abstract

Provided herein are various salts, including tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane salts and sodium salts, as well as various crystalline forms of the compound represented by the structural formula: Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising these salts and crystalline forms, methods for their manufacture, and uses thereof for treating conditions, including but not limited to conditions that would benefit from inhibition of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH).
