Abstract

Disclosed herein is the crystalline form of the potassium salt of 2-((3R,6S)-2-hydroxy-3-(2-(thiophen-2-yl)acetamido)-1,2-oxaborinan-6-yl)acetic acid. The crystalline form maybe formulated for treating subjects with bacterial infection. Accordingly, some embodiments relate to compositions and methods of administering the potassium salt of 2-((3R,6S)-2-hydroxy-3-(2-(thiophen-2-yl)acetamido)-1,2-oxaborinan-6-yl)acetic acid.

Claims (29)

1. A potassium salt of 2-((3R,6S)-2-hydroxy-3-(2-(thiophen-2-yl)acetamido)-1,2-oxaborinan-6-yl)acetic acid.

2. The potassium salt of claim 1 , wherein the potassium salt is in a crystalline form exhibiting an X-ray powder diffraction pattern comprising at least three characteristic peaks selected from the group consisting of peaks at approximately 7.3°, 13.9°, 16.9°, 19.1°, 20.8°, and 25.2°2θ.

3. The potassium salt of claim 2 , exhibiting an X-ray powder diffraction pattern comprising at least peaks at approximately 7.3, 13.9°, 16.9°, 19.1°, 20.8°, and 25.2°2θ.

4. The potassium salt of claim 3 , exhibiting an X-ray powder diffraction pattern comprising at least peaks at approximately 7.3°, 13.9°, 14.6°, 16.9°, 17.9°, 19.1°, 20.8°, 21.3°, 25.2°, and 25.6°2θ.

5. The potassium salt of claim 1 , wherein said crystalline form has a melting point of 199.0° C.

6. The potassium salt of claim 1 having an X-ray powder diffraction pattern substantially the same as shown in FIG. 1 .

7. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the potassium salt of claim 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or a pharmaceutically acceptable liquid carrier.

8. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 7 , further comprising an additional medicament selected from an antibacterial agent, antifungal agent, an antiviral agent, an antiinflammatory agent, or an anti-allergic agent.

9. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 8 , wherein the additional medicament is a β-lactam antibacterial agent selected from Ceftazidime, Biapenem, Doripenem, Ertapenem, Imipenem, Meropenem, Panipenem, Aztreonam, Tigemonam, BAL30072, SYN 2416, or Carumonam.

10. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 7 , comprising a unit dose from 0.1 mg to 5 g of the crystalline form of the potassium salt of 2-((3R,6S)-2-hydroxy-3-(2-(thiophen-2-yl)acetamido)-1,2-oxaborinan-6-yl)acetic acid.

11. A method of treating a bacterial infection, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof, a composition according to claim 7 .

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising administering an additional medicament selected from an antibacterial agent, antifungal agent, an antiviral agent, an anti-inflammatory agent, or an anti-allergic agent.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the additional medicament is a β-lactam antibacterial agent selected from Ceftazidime, Biapenem, Doripenem, Ertapenem, Imipenem, Meropenem, Panipenem, Aztreonam, Tigemonam, BAL30072, SYN 2416, or Carumonam.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the subject is a mammal.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the mammal is a human.

16. The method of claim 11 , comprising administering the composition intravenously or orally to the subject.

17. A sterile container, comprising:

the composition according to claim 7 .

18. A sterile container, comprising:

the potassium salt according to claim 1 .

19. A method of preparing a pharmaceutical composition for administration, comprising reconstituting the contents of the sterile container of claim 17 using a pharmaceutically acceptable liquid carrier.

20. The method of any one of claim 19 , wherein the liquid carrier is a saline solution or dextrose solution.

21. A process of making a crystalline form of a potassium salt of 2-((3R,6S)-2-hydroxy-3-(2-(thiophen-2-yl)acetamido)-1,2-oxaborinan-6-yl)acetic acid, comprising:

combining a purified 2-((3R,6S)-2-hydroxy-3-(2-(thiophen-2-yl)acetamido)-1,2-oxaborinan-6-yl)acetic acid with a solvent to form an intermediate solution;

intermixing a potassium ion with the intermediate solution; and

isolating the crystalline form of the potassium salt of 2-((3R,6S)-2-hydroxy-3-(2-(thiophen-2-yl)acetamido)-1,2-oxaborinan-6-yl)acetic acid.

22. The process of claim 21 , wherein the potassium ion is from potassium hydroxide or potassium t-butoxide.

23. The process of claim 21 , wherein the solvent is selected from the group consisting of tetrahydrofuran, 1, 4-dioxane, acenitrile, acetone, ethyl acetate, methyl tert-butyl ether, water, and any combinations thereof.

24. The process of claim 23 , wherein the solvent is acetone or acenitrile.
