ABSTRACT Finding new multicomponent crystal forms of commercially available pharmaceuticals is important, as they represent a straightforward way to drastically influence the solidstate properties of a drug. The antibiotic 4-aminosalicylic acid (ASA) is known to exist in several multicomponent crystal forms, and in this work we expand the world of ASA cocrystals

and

salts

by

reporting

new

crystalline

forms

comprising

diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO), and caffeine. All species were characterized by Xray single crystal, powder diffraction and thermal behaviour. This study contributes to the rationalization of preferred functional groups for the synthesis of 4-aminosalicylic acid new multicomponent crystal forms and highlights the relevance of the reaction conditions in the achievement of those forms.

INTRODUCTION The non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) 4-aminosalicylic acid (ASA) has been used as an antibiotic in the treatment of tuberculosis since the 1940s.1 It has also shown to be safe and effective in the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases, namely distal ulcerative colitis2, 3 and Crohn’s disease.4 Several prodrugs of this active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) have been exploited to slow down its absorption in the upper intestinal tract in order to make it suitable for the treatment of active ulcerative proctitis or left sided ulcerative colitis.2, 5 Azo6 and phenol-class azo derivatives7 have 1

been synthesized in the quest for a better ASA prodrug against inflammatory bowel disease; additionally ASA conjugates of EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) chelating to Cu(II) were reported not only as potential anti-inflammatory prodrugs but also as promising drugs with anti-cancer properties, due to their proteolytic attack resistance.4 Also worth mentioning are ASA:α-cyclodextrins complexes that have shown an improvement in ASA solubility (up to 100 mM),8 and the novel ASA:konjac glucomannan (KGM) pH-sensitivity complex synthesized based on the advantage of the biodegradability of KGM,9,

multicomponent crystal was prepared in 2013 by Seaton and co-workers, involving ASA, 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid and 4,4’-bipyridine.26 Very recently also drug-drug cocrystals involving ASA have also been reported.27,

The most recurrent hydrogen

bonding interaction in these multicomponent crystal forms is between the OHCOOH/COOof ASA and the Npyridine groups of the coformers. The work reported herein integrates our previous results24,25 and, along with all the published data, intends to clearly show the great propensity of this API to form multicomponent crystal forms with amines via O-H···N and/or N-H···O interactions. Novel forms of this API were synthesized with diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) and caffeine. Valuable information can be drawn from this work on the type of interactions favouring the formation of solvates/cocrystals/salts of this API and will now be applied into the search of more GRAS co-formers, including possible excipients, having in perspective a potential application in the pharmaceutical field.29-31

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Synthesis of the new multicomponent crystal forms was based on the supramolecular synthon approach, on datamining and our previous experience with the system. Multiple salts, cocrystals and ionic cocrystals were analysed in this search (Table I).

Results show that the acid···pyridine synthon is the most recurrent synthon; for this reason, we have further explored mainly N-containing heterocyclic coformers that we expected to interact with ASA as shown in Scheme I. GRAS coformers containing carboxylic acids were also tested.

Scheme I Predicted synthons containing neutral and charged groups, characteristic of possible cocrystals (I) or molecular salts (II) of ASA with DABCO. New forms of ASA were obtained with DABCO and caffeine (Scheme II). The crystal structure of three different forms with DABCO and one with caffeine are reported herein and, as observed in most of the crystal forms previously reported, they confirm the ability of ASA to interact via O-H···N and/or N-H···O hydrogen bonds.

In this work, we also underline the fact that different forms could be synthesized by slightly modifying the crystallization conditions. This concept is extremely important in the synthesis of the DABCO new forms, where the evaporation area of the crystallization vessels proved to be crucial. Three new forms [HDABCO]+2⋅[C6H3NH2OH(COO)]-2⋅DABCO⋅7H2O (1), [HDABCO]+⋅[C6H3NH2OH(COO)]-⋅2H2O (2) and [HDABCO]+⋅[C6H3NH2OH(COO)]-

⋅DABCO⋅H2O (3), were obtained with ASA and DABCO upon distinct evaporating conditions. Scheme III reports the chemical formulae of the compounds under discussion. It is noteworthy that in compound 1 and 3 DABCO participates both as counterion and neutral coformer, while 2 is a salt.33 The synthetic pathways to selectively obtain ASA:DABCO multicomponent crystal forms are not straightforward and are not easy to rationalize. While liquid-assisted grinding lead34, 35 to the formation of 1, traditional crystallization by slow solvent evaporation results in mixtures of the three forms (1-3). The prevalence of one form over the others obtained by solution techniques is highly dependent on the evaporation area of the crystallization vessel, with the crystalline form characterized by the lowest water content being favoured by wider evaporation areas. Slurries also resulted in mixtures of the three forms. Even though the different forms have different formulae, the ratio between [HDABCO]+ and [C6H3NH2OH(COO)]- is the same, the difference arising from the presence of neutral DABCO and by the hydration degree. All attempts to influence the composition by changing the reagents ratio were unsuccessful, and mixtures were the recurrent result. The structural and thermal characterization of these forms (1-3) will be presented and discussed. With caffeine, a new hydrate (4) was obtained by solution methods but it was not possible to determine its crystal structure, and an anhydrous cocrystal (5) is obtained by recrystallization of the hydrate in methanol, even though in very low yields for this method. The crystal structure of the anhydrous form 5 was determined, [C6H3NH2OH(COOH)].[C8H10N4O2], and its structural and thermal characterization are also discussed herein.

The crystallographically independent [C6H3NH2OH(COO)]- anions still maintain the intramolecular bond, now reinforced by charge assistance [O(H)···OCOO- 2.528(5) and 2.480(6) Å]. One of the anions connects with three water molecules, while the second anion links with a fourth water molecule [N(H)anion···OW 2.690(5) Å] and one of the [HDABCO]+ cations [N(H)anion···N+cation 3.005(6) Å and N+(H)cation···O-COO2.690(5) Å] (see Figure 2.a). The neutral DABCO and one of the cations interact one with the other [N+(H)cation···NDABCO 2.647(5) Å] and with water molecules, thus forming 6

This form was never obtained as a single phase in any of the experiments carried out and most frequently appears concomitantly with 2 (Figure S1). The asymmetric unit of [HDABCO]+⋅[C6H3NH2OH(COO)] -⋅2H2O, 2 consists of two [C6H3NH2OH(COO)]- anions, two [HDABCO]+ cations and four water molecules. The salt nature of this form was assessed by the C-O distances in the [C6H3NH2OH(COO)] - anions (1.247(14) and 1.278(14); 1.252(10) and 1.292(9) Å) and the proton location from the electron density map on the [HDABCO]+ cations. Once again the intramolecular bonds in [C6H3NH2OH(COO)]- anions are maintained [O-HOH···O-COO- 2.537(7) and 2.504(10) Å]. Wavy chains of alternating anions and water molecules are shown in Figure 3.a. The second independent anion interacts via hydrogen bonds with water molecules and one of the two independent 7

[HDABCO]+ cations are at close distance [N+(H)cation···N+cation 2.754(9) Å] and one of them is hydrogen bonded to a water molecule [O(H)W ···N+cation 2.805(9) Å], giving rise to [C6H3NH2OH(COO)]- – water – [HDABCO]+ – [HDABCO]+ – [C6H3NH2OH(COO)]- chains (Figure 3.c).

Form 2 was possible to obtain as a single phase (Figure S2) when crystallization vessels with a medium evaporation area, such as beakers, were used. The asymmetric unit of [HDABCO]+⋅[C6H3NH2OH(COO)]-⋅DABCO⋅H2O 3 consists of one ASA anion, one [HDABCO]+ cation, one neutral DABCO and one water molecule. The anionic nature of ASA was determined by the C-O distances in the carboxylate moiety (1.253(2) and 1.282(2) Å) and the cationic nature of one DABCO was assessed by the proton location from the electron density map.

anions are involved is established through the amine and carboxylate moieties [NHASA···O-COO- 2.932(3) Å]. These interactions along with three hydrogen bonds with the water molecules [N-HASA···OW 2.935(2) Å, O-HW···O-COO- 2.795(3) Å and OHW···OOH 2.815(3) Å] give rise to sheets in the bc plane (Figure 4.a).

Thermal behaviour of the crystalline forms 1-3 DSC, TGA and HSM studies were performed on crystalline forms 1-3 to assess their thermal stability. The thermal analysis is not straightforward, like it would be expected as these crystal forms are highly hydrated. In all the three forms water is released before melting, but in none of them this process is carried out in a single step 9

and therefore several thermal events with corresponding water loss are detected below 150°C. The melting point of the three forms is similar and occurs at approximately 163165°C. For 1, which contains seven water molecules, several sequential events are detected indicating that the water loss slowly starts at approximately 50°C and is more intense above 119°C. The melting peak is detected at 165.2°C and is followed by decomposition (Figure S4). This data is also supported by HSM observations (Figure 5).

Figure 5 HSM for 1, showing the melting and decomposition at 162°C. The two water molecules per formula unit in crystalline 2 leave the structure between 50 and 110°C, and the melting, followed by decomposition, is detected at 164.8°C (Figures 6 and S5).

Figure 6 HSM for 2, showing the water release between 50 and 110°C (images at 87 and 105 °C) and the melting and decomposition (image at 170°C). Crystalline 3 contains only one water molecule per asymmetric unit, and this is lost in the 60-120°C range. Melting is detected at 165.4°C and is once again followed by decomposition (Figures 7 and S6).

Crystal structure analysis for 5 The preparation of new ASA-caffeine cocrystals was attempted by both solution and grinding. By neat-grinding and LAG, only a mixture of both starting materials is obtained. In solution, a new compound (4) is always formed, but no single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction could be grown. To ascertain that we were working with a new form we further checked the diffraction data against all the reported polymorphs and hydrates of caffeine (Figure S7). Several recrystallization attempts using different solvents (acetone, ethanol, methanol, acetonitrile, water), as well as different crystallization temperatures (RT and low temperature), were carried out. Single crystals suitable for diffraction experiments could only be obtained from methanol, which permitted

cocrystal

[C6H3NH2OH(COOH)]·[C8H10N4O2], 5. The asymmetric unit of 5 consists on one ASA and one caffeine molecules, without any proton transfer, and therefore this form corresponds to a cocrystal. Once again the intramolecular interaction [O-HOH···OCOOH 2.605(7) Å] is maintained in ASA. Each ASA moiety interacts with three different caffeine molecules via hydrogen bonds [OHCOOH···NCAF 2.702(8) Å, N-HASA···OC=O,CAF 2.927(8) and 2.975(8) Å], giving rise to a 3D crystal packing with alternated ASA and caffeine molecules (Figure 8.a), in which similar molecules do not interact directly among them. In this crystal structure the crystal packing is further reinforced by π··· π interactions (Figures 8.b and 8.c).

Thermal behaviour of crystalline 4 DSC data for the compound initially obtained with ASA and caffeine, 4, (Figure S8) reveals two endothermic peaks: the first one corresponding to a 7% mass loss in the TGA, the second to melting followed by decomposition, overlapping with a small exothermic peak. The mass loss between 50 and 70°C suggests that this form is likely to be a solvate. As the same form is obtained with different solvents, this is most probably a hydrate: the 7% mass loss would therefore correspond to the loss of 1.5 water molecules per formula unit, i.e. crystalline 4 should be a sesquihydrated 1:1 cocrystal. Figure S-9 shows VT-XRPD measurements on crystalline 4. A change in the diffraction pattern is indeed detected in the diffractogram collected at 80°C, in agreement with the results from DSC and TGA. The new pattern does not change, but for small shifts due to temperature variations, when the sample is cooled down to room temperature. Similarities can be found with the pattern calculated for crystalline 5 on the basis of single crystal data (Figure S-9); unfortunately, in spite of numerous attempts at recrystallizing the dehydrated product or at determining the structure from powder data, we have not been able, so far, to characterize it.

CONCLUSIONS The discovery of new solid forms of old drugs is an important research field not only in modern solid-state and materials chemistry, but also in the pharmaceutical field. These new forms include polymorphs, solvates, salts, and cocrystals, all of them with distinct structural and physicochemical properties, which may be very useful to overcome several issues (such as stability, solubility and bioavailability) of the drug forms currently used.36-58 The tendency of ASA to form solvates and molecular salts had already been proven and this is reinforced in this study. We have also demonstrated herein the importance of reaction conditions to yield different forms with a single co-former. Based on a Cambridge Structural Database23 survey, we have investigated the possibility of forming new crystal forms between ASA and cyclic lone-pair containing heterocycles such as DABCO. These coformers carry nitrogen atoms that can act as proton acceptors or hydrogen bonding acceptors thus being able to be engaged in 12

extended hydrogen bonded networks, suitable for the study of synthon competition and cooperation established in this type of structures. Carboxylic acids are known for their potential in the formation of hydrogen bonds and their predisposition to form dimeric carboxyl···carboxyl homosynthons that generate self-complemented hydrogen-bonding interactions in their crystal structures.59,

60

But in the presence of N-containing

heterocyclic moieties, the homosynthon is commonly disrupted by the robust OHCOOH···Npyridine heterosynthon that is preferentially shaped in the resultant multicomponent crystal form (cocrystal, salt, molecular salt, solvate).61, 62 The ASA molecule is sufficiently acidic to transfer the carboxylic proton to DABCO molecules,31 as expected based on the ∆pka rule and by analyzing studies of similar structures with other salicylic acid derivatives and these co-formers.15, 63-66 The strong homomeric carboxylic acid synthon observed in ASA cannot occur in the molecular salts studied herein due to the proton transfer from the API carboxylic group to the amine moiety of the co-former. This disruption gives rise to charge-assisted N+-Hcation···O-COO- supramolecular interactions, originating different ring and chain synthons in the molecular salts studied. On the other hand, in the anhydrous form of caffeine there is no proton transfer and this form corresponds to a cocrystal. In this case, the strong homomeric carboxylic acid synthon observed in ASA is also disrupted, but the charge-assisted interactions previously mentioned are replaced by O-HCOOH···NCAF and N-HASA···OC=O,CAF hydrogen bonds, with π··· π further reinforcing the crystal packing. The N-HASA···OOH interaction is maintained in two of the crystal structures discussed herein.

Experimental All reagents were purchased from Sigma and used without further purification. SYNTHESIS OF MULTICOMPONENT CRYSTAL FORMS

Solution synthesis of [HDABCO]+2⋅[C6H3NH2OH(COO)] -2⋅DABCO⋅7H2O (1): A solution was prepared in a flask with ASA (0.0339 g, 0.2214 mmol) and DABCO (0.05059 g, 0.4502 mmol) and dissolved in 5 mL of ethanol. The solution was heated at boiling temperature for 5 minutes and left to crystallize at room temperature. Crystals were formed after 2 days. 13

Solution synthesis of [HDABCO]+⋅[C6H3NH2OH(COO)]-⋅2H2O (2): A solution was prepared in a beaker with ASA (0.0406 g, 0.2651 mmol) and DABCO (0.0302 g, 0.2692 mmol) and dissolved in 5 mL of ethanol. The solution was heated at boiling temperature for 5 minutes and left to crystallize at room temperature, but covered with parafilm. Crystals were formed after 2 days.

Solution synthesis of [HDABCO]+⋅[C6H3NH2OH(COO)]-⋅DABCO⋅H2O (3): A solution was prepared in a crystallization vessel with a very wide evaporation area with ASA (0.0340 g, 0.2220 mmol) and DABCO (0.0432 g, 0.3851 mmol) and dissolved in 4.3 mL of ethanol. The solution was heated at boiling temperature for 5 minutes and left to crystallize at room temperature. Crystals were formed over night.

Synthesis of 1-3 by slurry: Two preparations were attempted. ASA and DABCO in two different stoichiometric ratios (3:2 and 1:2) were suspended in ethanol and stirred in a closed vessel for six days. In both cases the final bulk consists of a mixture of the three forms previously obtained by solution technique but other forms different, in each case, are additionally present. No crystals suitable for single crystal X-ray diffraction of a new form were obtained from the recrystallization of these experiments.

Solution synthesis of the ASA·caffeine cocrystal (4): equimolar amounts of ASA and caffeine were dissolved in water/ethanol solutions that were left to crystallize at room temperature. Powder formed after 3 days and was identified by XRPD as a powder pattern distinct from any form of the starting materials. Alternatively, similar solution was left at 5°C for crystallization and a similar result was obtained. Both acetone and acetonitrile, as well as just water, were tested as solvents and once again the new powder pattern was obtained. The same result was obtained by joining two different solutions: an ASA solution in ethanol and a caffeine solution in acetonitrile, and leave them to crystallize at room temperature. Despite the many recrystallization attempts carried out using different techniques, single crystals suitable for SCXRD were never obtained. Whenever higher percentage of ASA was used in the preparations, this reagent was detected in the final XRPD analysis, along with form 4, showing that changes in the starting ratio of the reagents do not affect the final form obtained.

Synthesis of the ASA·caffeine cocrystal (4) by mechanochemistry: equimolar amounts of ASA and caffeine were manually ground in an agate mortar for 30 minutes. 14

No conversion into new forms was detected by XRPD data. Reaction occurred by adding a few drops of solvent (water, ethanol or acetone) before grinding the mixture.

Crystal growth of [C6H3NH2OH(COOH)]·[C8H10N4O2] (5) from solution: equimolar quantities of ASA and caffeine were dissolved in methanol and were left to crystallize at 5°C. After 5 days a couple of crystals suitable for single crystal X-ray diffraction were formed. However, the majority of the obtained material was powder. Its XRPD diffraction analysis showed that the majority of the obtained material corresponded to the hydrated form 4.

CHARACTERIZATION

Single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) Data collection was carried out in an Oxford X’Calibur S CCD diffractometer equipped with a graphite monochromator (Mo-Kα radiation, λ = 0.71073Å) at room temperature and in a Bruker AXS-KAPPA APEX II diffractometer with graphitemonochromated radiation (Mo-Kα radiation, λ = 0.71073 Å) at 150 K. Refinement details are listed in the Table II. All non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically. HOH atoms were added in calculated positions. HNH atoms were located from difference Fourier maps and refined. HCH and HOH atoms were added in calculated positions and refined riding on their respective C and O atoms. SHELX-9767 was used for all structure solutions and refinements on F2.

TOC

The discovery of new solid forms of old drugs is an important research field in the pharmaceutical arena. The tendency of 4-aminosalicylic acid to form multicomponent crystal forms had already been proven and this is reinforced in this study. We have also demonstrated herein the importance of reaction conditions to yield different forms with a single co-former.
