Abstract

The present invention relates to new pharmaceutical compositions comprising benzoquinoline compounds, and methods to inhibit vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) activity in a subject for the treatment of chronic hyperkinetic movement disorders.

Claims (27)

1. A compound that is crystalline d 6 -tetrabenazine Form I having deuterium enrichment of no less than about 1%, and having an X-ray diffractogram comprising peaks, in terms of 2θ±0.2, at 6.5, 12.2, 14.4, 22.4 and 23.4; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or hydrate thereof.

2. The compound of claim 1 , having an X-ray diffractogram comprising peaks, in terms of 2θ±0.2, at 6.5, 10.8, 12.2, 13.0, 14.4, 17.1, 18.0, 21.4, 22.4 and 23.4.

3. The compound of claim 1 , having an X-ray diffractogram in accordance with FIG. 9 .

4. The compound of claim 1 , having a differential calorimetry trace comprising an endotherm between about 115 and about 135° C.

5. The compound of claim 1 , having a differential calorimetry trace in accordance with FIG. 8 .

6. The compound of claim 1 , having a thermogravimetric analysis profile showing about 1.5% weight loss below about 150° C.

7. The compound of claim 1 , having a thermogravimetric analysis profile in accordance with FIG. 7 .

8. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and crystalline d 6 -tetrabenazine Form I having deuterium enrichment of no less than about 90%, and having an X-ray diffractogram comprising peaks, in terms of 2θ±0.2, at 6.5, 12.2, 14.4, 22.4 and 23.4, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or hydrate thereof.

9. The pharmaceutical composition as recited in claim 8 , wherein crystalline d 6 -tetrabenazine Form I has deuterium enrichment of no less than 98%.

10. The pharmaceutical composition as recited in claim 8 , wherein the crystalline d 6 -tetrabenazine Form I has an X-ray diffractogram comprising peaks, in terms of 2θ±0.2, at 6.5, 10.8, 12.2, 13.0, 14.4, 17.1, 18.0, 21.4, 22.4 and 23.4.

11. The pharmaceutical composition as recited in claim 8 , wherein the crystalline d 6 -tetrabenazine Form I has an X-ray diffractogram in accordance with FIG. 9 .

12. The pharmaceutical composition as recited in claim 8 , wherein the crystalline d 6 -tetrabenazine Form I has a differential calorimetry trace comprising an endotherm between about 115 and about 135° C.

13. The pharmaceutical composition as recited in claim 8 , wherein the crystalline d 6 -tetrabenazine Form I has a differential calorimetry trace in accordance with FIG. 8 .

14. The pharmaceutical composition as recited in claim 8 , wherein the crystalline d 6 -tetrabenazine Form I has a thermogravimetric analysis profile showing about 1.5% weight loss below about 150° C.

15. The pharmaceutical composition as recited in claim 8 , wherein the crystalline d 6 -tetrabenazine Form I has a thermogravimetric analysis profile in accordance with FIG. 7 .

16. The pharmaceutical composition as recited in claim 8 , wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier comprises polyoxide.

17. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 8 , wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier consists of polyoxide.

18. A method of treating a VMAT2-mediated disorder comprising: administering to a patient in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of claim 1 .

19. The method as recited in claim 18 , wherein the VMAT2-mediated disorder is a hyperkinetic movement disorder.

20. The method as recited in claim 19 , wherein the hyperkinetic movement disorder is a chronic hyperkinetic movement disorder.

21. The method as recited in claim 20 , wherein the chronic hyperkinetic movement disorder is selected from the group consisting of Huntington's chorea, tardive dyskinesia, Tourette's syndrome, and a tic.

22. The method as recited in claim 18 , wherein the crystalline d 6 -tetrabenazine Form I, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or hydrate thereof has deuterium enrichment of no less than about 90%.

23. The method as recited in claim 18 , wherein the crystalline d 6 -tetrabenazine Form I, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or hydrate thereof has deuterium enrichment of no less than about 98%.

24. A method of treating a VMAT2-mediated disorder comprising: administering to a patient in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition of claim 8 .

25. The method as recited in claim 24 , wherein the VMAT2-mediated disorder is a hyperkinetic movement disorder.

26. The method as recited in claim 25 , wherein the hyperkinetic movement disorder is a chronic hyperkinetic movement disorder.

27. The method as recited in claim 26 , wherein the chronic hyperkinetic movement disorder is selected from the group consisting of Huntington's chorea, tardive dyskinesia, Tourette's syndrome, and a tic.
