Claims (16)

1. A crystalline form of a compound represented by Formula (I):

wherein R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 are each independently H or D, provided that the abundance of deuterium in each of R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 is at least 30%, and wherein the crystalline form of the compound is characterized by an X-ray powder diffraction pattern comprising peaks at the following diffraction angles (2θ): 12.3°±0.2°, 15.3°±0.2°, and 15.8°±0.2°.

2. The crystalline form of claim 1 , wherein the crystalline form of the compound is characterized by an X-ray powder diffraction pattern further comprising one or more peaks at the following diffraction angles (2θ): 13.4°±0.2°, 14.1°±0.2°, 16.9°±0.2°, 17.3°±0.2°, 18.4°±0.2°, 18.8°±0.2°, 22.0°±0.2°, and 22.8°±0.2°.

3. The crystalline form of claim 1 , wherein the crystalline form of the compound has a melting point onset as determined by differential scanning calorimetry at about 225° C. to about 235° C.

4. The crystalline form of claim 1 , wherein the crystalline form of the compound is anhydrous.

5. The crystalline form of claim 1 , wherein the abundance of deuterium in R 1 is at least 50%.

6. The crystalline form of claim 1 , wherein the abundance of deuterium in R 2 is at least 50%.

7. The crystalline form of claim 1 , wherein the abundance of deuterium in R 3 is at least 50%.

8. The crystalline form of claim 1 , wherein the abundance of deuterium in each of R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 is at least 50%.

9. The crystalline form of claim 1 , wherein the abundance of deuterium in each of R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 is at least 75%.

10. The crystalline form of claim 1 , wherein the abundance of deuterium in each of R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 is at least 90%.

11. The crystalline form of claim 1 , wherein the abundance of deuterium in each of R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 is at least 95%.

12. The crystalline form of claim 1 , wherein the crystalline form of the compound is characterized by a stereochemical purity of at least 75% enantiomeric excess at the carbon bearing variable R 1 .

13. The crystalline form of claim 1 , wherein the crystalline form of the compound is characterized by a stereochemical purity of at least 90% enantiomeric excess at the carbon bearing variable R 1 .

14. The crystalline form of claim 1 , wherein the crystalline form of the compound is characterized by a stereochemical purity of at least 95% enantiomeric excess at the carbon bearing variable R 1 .

15. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a crystalline form of claim 1 , and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
