Title:	Maleate salts of (E)-N-{4-[3-chloro-4-(2-pyridinylmethoxy)anilino]-3-cyano-7-ethoxy-6-quin- olinyl)-4-(dimethylamino)-2-buteramide and crystalline forms thereof
Abstract:	The present invention relates to maleate salt forms of (E)-N-{4-[3-chloro-4-(2-pyridinylmethoxy)anilino]-3-cyano-7-ethoxy-6-quin- olinyl}-4-(dimethylamino)-2-butenamide, methods of preparing crystalline maleate salt forms, the associated compounds, and pharmaceutical compositions containing the same. The maleate salts are useful in treating cancers, particularly those affected by kinases of the epidermal growth factor receptor family.

Assignee:	Wyeth LLC (Madison, NJ)
Filing Date:	Apr 06, 2012
Application Number:	13/441,168
Claims:	1. A method of preparing (E)-N-{4-[3-chloro-4-(2-pyridinylmethoxy)anilino]-3-cyano-7-ethoxy-6-quin- olinyl}-4-(dimethylamino)-2-butenamide as a maleate salt monohydrate, comprising: i) mixing (E)-N-{4-[3-chloro-4-(2-pyridinylmethoxy)anilino]-3-cyano-7-ethoxy-6-quin- olinyl}-4-(dimethylamino)-2-butenamide and maleic acid in a water-alcohol solution at a temperature in the range of between about 50.degree. C. to about 60.degree. C.; ii) cooling said solution to a temperature of about 40.degree. C. and maintaining the cooled solution at about 40.degree. C. for about 12 hours to precipitate the maleate salt; iii) further cooling the cooled solution to room temperature (about 25.degree. C.) over a minimum of 4 hours and maintaining the further cooled solution at room temperature (about 25.degree. C.) for at least 2 hours; and iv) filtering the maintained, further cooled solution to obtain crystalline (E)-N-{4-[3-chloro-4-(2-pyridinylmethoxy)anilino]-3-cyano-7-ethoxy-6-quin- olinyl}-4-(dimethylamino)-2-butenamide maleate monohydrate. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the obtained crystalline (E)-N-{4-[3-chloro-4-(2-pyridinylmethoxy)anilino]-3-cyano-7-ethoxy-6-quin- olinyl}-4-(dimethylamino)-2-butenamide maleate comprises (E)-N-{4-[3-chloro-4-(2-pyridinylmethoxy)anilino]-3-cyano-7-ethoxy-6-quin- olinyl}-4-(dimethylamino)-2-butenamide maleate, monohydrate, Form II. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the obtained crystalline (E)-N-{4-[3-chloro-4-(2-pyridinylmethoxy)anilino]-3-cyano-7-ethoxy-6-quin- olinyl}-4-(dimethylamino)-2-butenamide maleate, monohydrate, Form II is characterized by X-ray diffraction peaks at the following angles)(.+-.0.20.degree. of 2Theta in its X-ray diffraction pattern: 6.53, 8.43, 10.16, 12.19, 12.47, 13.01, 15.17, 16.76, 17.95, 19.86, 21.11, 21.88, 23.22, 23.78, 25.69, 26.17, 27.06, 27.58, 28.26, 28.73, and 29.77. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the obtained crystalline (E)-N-{4-[3-chloro-4-(2-pyridinylmethoxy)anilino]-3-cyano-7-ethoxy-6-quin- olinyl}-4-(dimethylamino)-2-butenamide maleate, monohydrate, Form II, has substantially the X-ray diffraction pattern as shown in FIG. 7. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the obtained crystalline (E)-N-{4-[3-chloro-4-(2-pyridinylmethoxy)anilino]-3-cyano-7-ethoxy-6-quin- olinyl}-4-(dimethylamino)-2-butenamide maleate, monohydrate, Form II, has a water content of about 2.5 to 2.7%, by weight.
