Phosphonate ester derivatives and methods of synthesis thereof
The disclosure describes methods of synthesis of phosphonate ester derivatives. Preferred methods according to the disclosure allow for large-scale preparation of phosphonate ester compounds having high purity. In some embodiments, preferred methods according to the disclosure also allow for the preparation of phosphonate ester derivatives without the use of chromatographic purification methods and in better yield than previously used methods for preparing such compounds. Also disclosed are morphic forms of phosphonate ester derivatives.
1. Morphic Form B of phosphonic acid, [[(S)-2-(4-amino-2-oxo-1(2H)-pyrimidinyl)-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethoxy]methyl]mono[3-(hexadecyloxy)propyl]ester characterized by an X-ray diffraction pattern including peaks at about 5.8, 12.5, and 24.0 degrees 2θ.
2. The Morphic Form of claim 1 , characterized by an X-ray diffraction pattern further including a peak at 11.6 degrees 2θ.
3. The Morphic Form of claim 1 , characterized by an X-ray diffraction pattern further including peaks at 11.6 and 17.4 degrees 2θ.
4. The Morphic Form of claim 1 , characterized by an X-ray diffraction pattern further including peaks at 11.6, 17.4, 20.8 and 21.6 degrees 2θ.
5. The Morphic Form of claim 1 characterized by an X-ray diffraction pattern substantially similar to that set forth in FIG. 6 .
6. The Morphic Form of claim 1 characterized by an X-ray diffraction pattern substantially similar to that set forth in FIG. 7 , lot 6.
7. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a Morphic Form B of phosphonic acid, [[(S)-2-(4-amino-2-oxo-1(2H)-pyrimidinyl)-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethoxy]methyl]mono[3-(hexadecyloxy)propyl]ester and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
8. A method of treating a viral infection in a subject, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a Morphic Form B of phosphonic acid, [[(S)-2-(4-amino-2-oxo-1(2H)-pyrimidinyl)-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethoxy]methyl]mono[3-(hexadecyloxy)propyl]ester.
