The androgen receptor (“AR”) is a ligand-activated transcriptional regulatory protein that mediates induction of male sexual development and function through its activity with endogenous androgens. Androgenic steroids play an important role in many physiologic processes, including the development and maintenance of male sexual characteristics such as muscle and bone mass, prostate growth, spermatogenesis, and the male hair pattern. The endogenous steroidal androgens include testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (“DHT”). Steroidal ligands which bind the AR and act as androgens (e.g. testosterone enanthate) or as antiandrogens (e.g. cyproterone acetate) have been known for many years and are used clinically.

Formula I

Synthesis of 6-[(4f?)-4-methyl-1 , 1-dioxido-1 ,2,6-thiadiazinan-2-yl]isoquinoline-1-carbonitrile is disclosed in co-pending international patent application,

PCT/IB2013/060381 , filed 25^th November 2013, and published as WO 2014/087298 on 12^th June 2014, assigned to the assignee of the present invention and which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. 6-[(4f?)-4-Methyl-1 , 1-dioxido-1 ,2,6-thiadiazinan-2-yl]isoquinoline-1-carbonitrile is known to be active as a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) and, as such, is useful for treating and/or preventing a variety of hormone-related conditions, for example, conditions associated with androgen decline, such as, inter alia, anaemia; anorexia; arthritis; bone disease; musculoskeletal impairment; cachexia; frailty; age-related functional decline in the elderly; growth hormone deficiency; hematopoietic disorders; hormone replacement; loss of muscle strength and/or function; muscular dystrophies; muscle loss following surgery; muscular atrophy; neurodegenerative disease; neuromuscular disease;

obesity; osteoporosis; and, muscle wasting.

Identification of new solid forms of a known pharmaceutical active ingredient provide a means of optimising either the physicochemical, stability, manufacturability and/or bioperformance characteristics of the active pharmaceutical ingredient without modifying its chemical structure. Based on a chemical structure, one cannot predict with any degree of certainty whether a compound will crystallise, under what conditions it will crystallise, or the solid state structure of any of those crystalline forms. The specific solid form chosen for drug development can have dramatic influence on the properties of the drug product. The selection of a suitable solid form is partially dictated by yield, rate and quantity of the crystalline structure. In addition, hygroscopicity, stability, solubility and the process profile of the solid form such as compressibility, powder flow and density are important considerations.

As such, there is a need to identify solid forms of 6-[(4f?)-4-methyl-1 , 1-dioxido-1 ,2,6-thiadiazi

Example 1

Procedure:

Into a 2L 3-neck round bottom flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer, reflux condenser and thermocouple with heating mantle was placed 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF) (10 mL/g; 8.15 moles; 817 ml_; 702 g) followed by racemic-2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1 ,1 ‘-binaphthyl (BINAP) (0.04 equiv (molar); 14.0 mmol; 8.74 g) and bis(dibenzylideneacetone)palladium (Pd₂(dba)₃) (0.04 equiv (molar); 14.0 mmol;

8.07 g). The mixture was degassed by pulling vacuum and refilling with nitrogen three times then heated to 75 °C for 15 minutes and cooled to ambient temperature. In a separate flask, (S)-3-amino-2-methylpropan-1-ol (1.60 equiv; 561 mmol; 50.0 g, prepared using literature methods, for example as disclosed in EP-A-0,089, 139 published on 21^st September 1983) was dissolved in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (5 ml_/g;

4.08 moles; 409 ml_; 351 g) and degassed by pulling vacuum and refilling with nitrogen three times. Into the pot containing the catalyst was added 6-(bromoisoquinoline-1- carbonitrile) (1.00 equiv; 351 mmol; 81.75 g) and cesium carbonate (1.6 equiv (molar); 561 mmol; 185 g) in single portions followed by the solution of the aminoalcohol via addition funnel. The reaction mixture was again degassed by pulling vacuum and refilling with nitrogen three times. The reaction was heated to 70 °C for 3 hours. The reaction was cooled to ambient temperature and filtered through a pad of Celite. The contents of the flask were rinsed out with three 100 mL portions of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran. The filtrate was transferred into a 2L round bottom flask equipped with a thermocouple and mechanical stirrer under nitrogen. Silica Gel (Silicylate SiliaMet® Thiol) (0.4 g/g-pure-LR; 544 mmol; 32.7 g) was charged and the flask was stirred at 40 °C overnight. The following morning, the reaction was cooled to < 30 °C and filtered again through Celite. The pad was washed with 100ml_ of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (or until no yellow color persisted in the filtrate). The filtrate was placed into a 3L round bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar, distillation head (with condenser and receiving flask), and thermocouple. The mixture was heated to 60 °C and placed under vacuum (-450-500 mbar) to distil out 1.3 L total of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran. 500 mL of toluene was added to precipitate the desired product. The heating mantle was removed and the reaction was allowed to reach ambient temperature. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour at ambient temperature and then the solids were collected by vacuum filtration on a sintered glass funnel. The cake was dried overnight on the funnel under vacuum. The following morning, the solids were transferred into an amber bottle and weighed (71.9 g; 298 mmol). The product was used in the next step without further purification.

Example 2

Procedure:

In a 1 L reactor equipped with a temperature probe and overhead stirring was added the product of Example 1 (20.0 g; 1.00 equiv; 82.9 mmol) and 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF) (30 mL/g-pure-LR; 5.98 moles; 600 mL; 515 g). The reaction mixture was

gently warmed to 40°C to achieve partial solubility. The reaction was cooled to 0°C. Once the reaction reached 0°C methanesulfonyl chloride (MsCI) (1.4 equiv (molar); 1 16 mmol; 8.98 mL; 13.3 g) was added in a single portion followed immediately by triethylamine (TEA) (1.4 equiv (molar); 116 mmol; 16.2 mL; 11.7 g) dropwise via syringe over a period of 15 minutes. The reaction mixture was further stirred for 30 min at 0°C and then warmed to 23°C for 60 minutes. The product (26.47 g; 1.00 equiv; 82.88 mmol; 26.47 g; 100% assumed yield) was then used without purification for the sulfonylation reaction.

Sulfonylation Reaction Procedure:

A previously prepared solution of the product of Example 3 (1.4 equiv (molar); 1 16 mmol; 116 g) in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran was added to a suspension of the product of Example 2 (1.00 equiv; 82.89 mmol; 26.5 g) at 0°C. The mixture was warmed to ambient temperature over 30 minutes. HPLC analysis revealed the reaction was complete. The reaction was quenched with a 10% sodium carbonate solution (2 equiv

(molar); 165 mmol; 101 mL; 1 17 g) and water (to dissolve salts) (5 L/kg; 7.35 moles; 132 mL; 132 g). The top organic layer was removed and passed through a plug of Carbon (Darco G60) (0.5 g/g) on a filter. A significant improvement in color (dark orange to yellow) was observed. The solution was concentrated to 10 total volumes and used in the next step without purification.

The reaction was cooled to ambient temperature and water (4L/kg-pure-LR; 9.17 moles; 165 mL; 165 g]) was added. The biphasic reaction was stirred for 1 hour at 23 °C. The aqueous layer was extracted and removed. The organic layer was passed through a plug of Carbon (Darco G60) (0.5 g/g-pure-LR; 20.7g) in a disposable filter. The 2-methyltetrahydrofuran solution was switched to a 10 volume solution of toluene via a constant strip-and-replace distillation to no more than 1 % 2-methyltetrahydrofuran. The toluene solution of the reaction product (1.00 equiv; 82.9 mmol; 33.4 g; 100% assumed yield) was used as-is in the next step without further purification.

To a 1 L reactor under nitrogen and equipped with overhead stirring and a temperature probe was added the product of Example 5 (1.00 equiv; 78.7 mmol; 33.4 g) as a solution in toluene (10 mL/g-pure-LR; 3.00 moles; 317 ml_; 276 g). Next, trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) (10 equiv (molar); 787 mmol; 59.5 ml_; 89.8 g) was added to the reaction over a period of 1 hour keeping the internal temperature below 30°C. The dark red mixture was stirred for 1 hour. The reaction was quenched at 23 °C by the addition of sodium carbonate (5 equiv (molar); 394 mmol; 240 ml_; 278 g). The reaction was quenched slowly, over a period of 1 hour to form the TFA salt of the product. Once the charge was complete, the mixture was cooled to 0°C, held for 1 hour and filtered.
