The Invention
It has now been found that the compound of formula (1), 2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-5-[4-(1,1-dioxo-1,4-thiazinane-4-carbonyl)anilino]oxazole-4-carboxamide, can form several different crystalline forms.
Accordingly, in a first embodiment (Embodiment 1.0), the invention provides a substantially crystalline form of a compound having the formula (1):
The crystalline form can be, for example, any one of crystalline forms A, B, C and D as defined herein.
The above compound may be referred to herein variously as “a compound having the formula (1)”, “the compound of formula (1)”, “compound (1)”, “compound of the formula (1)”, “Compound (1)” or “a compound of the invention”, or like terms, and these terms are used herein as synonyms.
In an amorphous solid, the three-dimensional structure that normally exists in a crystalline form does not exist and the positions of the molecules relative to one another in the amorphous form are essentially random, see for example Han**** etal. J. Pharm. Sci. (1997), 86, 1).
The term “substantially crystalline” refers to forms of the compound of formula (1) in which it is from 50% to 100% crystalline. Within this range, the compound of formula (1) may be at least 55% crystalline, or at least 60% crystalline, or at least 70% crystalline, or at least 80% crystalline, or at least 90% crystalline, or at least 95% crystalline, or at least 98% crystalline, or at least 99% crystalline, or at least 99.5% crystalline, or at least 99.9% crystalline, for example 100% crystalline.
The crystalline form of the compound of formula (1) is preferably one having a crystalline purity of at least 90%, more preferably at least 95%; i.e. at least 90% (more preferably at least 95%) of the compound is of a single crystalline form (e.g. Form A or Form B).
The crystalline forms of the compound of the invention may be solvated (e.g. hydrated) or non-solvated (e.g. anhydrous).
