Abstract

The present disclosure provides polymorphs and formulations of 4-(7-hydroxy-2-isopropyl-4-oxo-4H-quinazolin-3-yl)-benzonitrile (compound I). The present disclosure further provides methods for treating ocular surface pain by administering 4-(7-hydroxy-2-isopropyl-4-oxo-4H-quinazolin-3-yl)-benzonitrile (compound I). The present invention also provides methods for treating dry eye disease and ocular hyperemia by administering 4-(7-hydroxy-2-isopropyl-4-oxo-4H-quinazolin-3-yl)-benzonitrile.

Claims (19)

1 . A crystal form A of 4-(7-Hydroxy-2-isopropyl-4-oxo-4H-quinazolin-3-yl)benzonitrile (compound I) having structure

characterized by an X ray diffraction pattern comprising peaks at 2θ values of 7.2, 12.7, and 21.4±0.2 °2θ.

2 . The crystal form A of compound I according to claim 1 , characterized by an X ray diffraction pattern comprising three or more peaks at 2θ values selected from 7.2, 12.7, 13.9, 18.1, 21.4, 25.1, and 26.8±0.2 °2θ.

3 . A method of preparing a crystal form A of compound I according to claim 1 , comprising cooling a hot solution of the free base of compound I in methanol and cooling to about 0° C., to crystallize compound I as crystal form A.

4 . A crystal form C of 4-(7-Hydroxy-2-isopropyl-4-oxo-4H-quinazolin-3-yl)benzonitrile (compound I) having structure

characterized by an X ray diffraction pattern comprising peaks at 2θ values of 7.4, 14.9, and 19.1±0.2 °2θ.

5 . The crystal form C of compound I according to claim 4 , characterized by an X ray diffraction pattern comprising three or more peaks at 2θ values selected from 7.4, 14.1, 14.9, 16.4, 19.1, 26.1, and 31.2±0.2 °2θ.

6 . A method of preparing a crystal form C of compound I according to claim 4 , comprising heating compound I in crystal form A to a temperature of at least about 250° C., or at least about 270° C., or about 280° C.

7 . A crystal form E of 4-(7-Hydroxy-2-isopropyl-4-oxo-4H-quinazolin-3-yl)benzonitrile (compound I) having structure

characterized by an X ray diffraction pattern comprising peaks at 2θ values of 12.7, 16.7, and 22.6±0.2 °2θ.
