POLYMORPHS OF THE HYDROCHLORIDE SALT OF LINAPRAZAN GLURATE
The present invention relates to polymorphs of the hydrochloride salt of 5-{2-[({8-[(2,6-dimethylbenzyl)amino]-2,3-dimethylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-6-yl}carbonyl)-amino]ethoxy}-5-oxopentanoic acid (linaprazan glurate), more specifically Form 1 and Form 2 of the HCl salt of linaprazan glurate. The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of such polymorphs, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such polymorphs, and to the use of these polymorphs in the treatment or prevention of gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases or gastric acid related diseases, in particular erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (eGERD).
