The granted patent US12018025B2 describes various crystalline forms of a specific compound, (S)-4-((2-methoxyethyl)(4-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,8-naphthyridin-2-yl)butyl)amino)-2-(quinazolin-4-ylamino)butanoic acid, in different salt forms, including phosphate, fumarate, and 1,5-naphthalenedisulfonate. Each crystalline form is characterized by distinct X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) patterns, which include specific peak angles (2-theta) that serve as identifiers for the crystalline structures. Additionally, the patent outlines thermal properties determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), indicating endothermic peaks and weight loss percentages at various temperature ranges. The patent also specifies the water content of these crystalline forms, with some being hydrates and others being anhydrous.

Furthermore, the patent details methods for preparing these crystalline forms, which involve mixing the compound with various acids in specific solvents, often under controlled temperature conditions. The applications of these crystalline forms are highlighted, particularly in the treatment of fibrotic diseases such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). The methods of administration and the potential for modulating integrin activity in individuals are also discussed, emphasizing the therapeutic significance of these crystalline forms in clinical settings. The patent includes claims for pharmaceutical compositions containing these crystalline forms, as well as kits designed for treating specific fibrotic conditions.
