3. The crystalline form of claim 1 , characterized by an XRPD spectrum substantially the same as shown in FIG. 12 A .

4. The crystalline form of claim 1 , further characterized by a Differential Scanning calorimetry (DSC) pattern having an endothermic peak with an onset temperature at about 69.0° C.

5. The crystalline form of claim 2 , further characterized by a Differential Scanning calorimetry (DSC) pattern having an endothermic peak with an onset temperature at about 69.0° C.

6. The crystalline form of claim 3 , further characterized by a Differential Scanning calorimetry (DSC) pattern having an endothermic peak with an onset temperature at about 69.0° C.

7. A substantially pure compound having the following formula,

characterized as having a purity by weight of greater than 95%.

8. The substantially pure compound of claim 7 , characterized as having a purity by weight of greater than 98%.

9. The substantially pure compound of claim 7 , characterized as having a purity by weight of greater than 99%.

10. The substantially pure compound of claim 7 , which is in a solid form.

11. The substantially pure compound of claim 10 , which is in a crystalline form characterized by an X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD) spectrum having one or more of the following peaks: 4.6, 6.9, 8.7, 17.5, 18.3, 18.6, 19.1, 19.6, and 20.8, degrees 2 theta, =0.2°.

12. The substantially pure compound of claim 10 , which is in a crystalline form characterized by an X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD) spectrum having all of the following peaks: 4.6, 6.9, 8.7, 17.5, 18.3, 18.6, 19.1, 19.6, and 20.8, degrees 2 theta, ±0.2°.

13. The substantially pure compound of claim 10 , which is in a crystalline form characterized by an XRPD spectrum substantially the same as shown in FIG. 12 A .

14. The substantially pure compound of claim 11 , wherein the crystalline form is further characterized by a Differential Scanning calorimetry (DSC) pattern having an endothermic peak with an onset temperature at about 69.0° C.

15. The substantially pure compound of claim 12 , wherein the crystalline form is further characterized by a Differential Scanning calorimetry (DSC) pattern having an endothermic peak with an onset temperature at about 69.0° C.

16. The substantially pure compound of claim 13 , wherein the crystalline form is further characterized by a Differential Scanning calorimetry (DSC) pattern having an endothermic peak with an onset temperature at about 69.0° C.

17. A salt of a compound having the following formula,

wherein the salt is an oxalate salt, a hydrochloride salt, a benzene sulfonate salt, a p-toluene sulfonate salt, or a phosphate salt.

18. A method of preparing a pharmaceutical composition suitable for parenteral administration to a subject having a sex hormone-dependent benign or malignant disorder, a syndrome due to androgen excess, and/or a syndrome due to glucocorticoid excess, comprising mixing the substantially pure compound of claim 7 with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

19. A method of preparing a pharmaceutical composition suitable for parenteral administration to a subject having a sex hormone-dependent benign or malignant disorder, a syndrome due to androgen excess, and/or a syndrome due to glucocorticoid excess, comprising mixing the substantially pure compound of claim 8 with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
