Rugocrixan (also known by its developmental codes KAND567 and AZD8797) is a first-in-class, orally active small molecule drug candidate developed by Novakand Pharma (formerly Kancera). It acts as a potent, non-competitive allosteric antagonist of the CX3CR1 receptor, which is commonly referred to as the fractalkine receptor. By blocking this specific pathway, the drug prevents hyperinflammation and inhibits the proliferation and DNA repair mechanisms of certain cancer cells.

KAND567, a small molecule, blocks the fractaline (CX3CL1) receptor, which mediates the immune system response to inflammation. Because COVID-19 involves cytotoxic cells associated with this pathway, KAND567 is currently being tested as a treatment for those with the illness.

KAND567, a small molecule, blocks the fractaline (CX3CL1) receptor, which mediates the immune system response to inflammation. Because COVID-19 involves cytotoxic cells associated with this pathway, KAND567 is currently being tested as a treatment for those with the illness.

Key Clinical Developments and Therapeutic Focus

Originally acquired from AstraZeneca, the drug has advanced into multiple Phase II clinical trials. Novakand Pharma transitioned its core business strategy to focus heavily on orphan drug designations for niche, treatment-resistant conditions. Its primary areas of investigation include:

  • Ovarian Cancer: Evaluated in the Phase IIa “KANDOVA” clinical trial for patients with treatment-resistant ovarian cancer. It functions by suppressing DNA repair in tumor cells, which enhances the effectiveness of platinum-based chemotherapy and drives the cancer cells into programmed cell death.
  • Hematological Cancers: In preclinical studies alongside institutions like the Karolinska Institutet, rugocrixan has demonstrated a capability to block the unwanted growth-promoting effects of immune cells on advanced blood cancers, such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
  • Cardioprotection: Investigated via the “FRACTAL” Phase IIa trial in patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing angioplasty. The drug met its safety endpoints and showed signals of protecting heart tissue by reducing myocardial bleeding and the risk of thrombosis.

Companion Prodrug

Novakand Pharma is also developing a second-generation, water-soluble phosphate prodrug named fosrugocrixan (KAND145). Once administered, fosrugocrixan is metabolized into the active form of rugocrixan, offering enhanced product properties for intravenous or alternative delivery methods.

Because rugocrixan targets a brand-new pharmacological pathway, the World Health Organization (WHO) assigned it a unique suffix stem, establishing it as the international nomenclature standard for this entire new class of CX3CR1 antagonists

.xHCI

Compound 4 (1 .852 g, 5.74 mmol), DIPEA (1.1 12 g, 8.61 mmol) and D-leucinol (1.008 g, 8.61 mmmol) were dissolved in NMP (12 ml.) and the mixture was stirred at 120 °C in a sealed pyrex tube (start: 17:40).

HPLC after 15.5 h: ca. 98% conversion

HPLC after 19.5 h: >99% conversion

Work up: Ice water was poured into the mixture. Initially a solid was formed, but at the end of the addition the solid collapsed to a dark brown oil. EtOAc (50 ml.) was added and the phases were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc (2×25 ml_), and the combined organic phases were washed with water (8 ml_), sat. NaHC03 (3×8 ml_), water (8 ml.) and brine (8 ml_), dried over MgS04, filtered and evaporated. Dried in vacuum to yield 2.697 g of crude material as a brown oil. HPLC purity: ca. 92%. The oil was dissolved in MEK (ca. 18 mL) and cone. HCI (12.5 M, 574 pL, 7.18 mmol) was added. There was no spontaneous precipitation of the HCI salt. The mixture was gently stirred at RT and after ca. 20 min precipitation occurred. The mixture was stirred gently for 2.5 h and the solid was isolated by filtration on a P3 sintered glass filter. The solid was washed with three portions of MEK and was then dried in vacuum at 60 °C for 2.5 days. Yield (batch 1 ): 1 .224 g (48.5%) of the product as hydrochloride salt.

HPLC purity: 99.0% (basic method);

97.4% (acidic method).

A substantial amount of solids passed through the filter into the filtrate. The solids were isolated by centrifugation and the supernatant was removed by pipette. The solid was washed with two portions (ca. 2×5 mL) of MEK. After the last supernatant was removed the product was dried in vacuum at 60 °C for 2.5 days. Yield (batch 2): 324 mg (12.8%) of the product as hydrochloride salt.

HPLC purity: 99.0% (basic method);

97.5% (acidic method).

Combined yield: 1.548 g (61 .3%)

Both batches contain ca. 0.07% DMF (w/w). The DMF was already present in the starting material.

Further purification of the combined batches

The two batches of compound 5 were combined (1.338 g, 3.041 mmol) in a 50 mL roundbottomed flask and water (6 mL) was added followed by 2M NaOH (1.6 mL, 3.2 mmol). The mixture was stirred and EtOAc (40 mL) was added. An additional 0.5 mL (1 mmol) 2M NaOH was added during stirring. After 15 min all of the solids were dissolved and the phases were separated. The pH of the aqueous phase was measured with a pH stick =>pH=7. More 2M NaOH (0.4 mL, 0.8 mmol) was added to the aqueous phase resulting in a pH of 10. The aq. phase was extracted with EtOAc (25 mL) and the phases were separated. The combined organic phases were dried over Na2S04, filtered and evaporated to yield the free base as a crystalline beige solid. The free base was dissolved in MEK (15 mL) and HCI (37%, 12.5 M, 255 pL, 3.19 mmol) was added during stirring. A white precipitate was immediately formed. The mixture was stirred gently for 2 h and the solid was collected by filtration on a P4 sintered glass filter. The solids were washed with MEK (5 mL) and dried in vacuum at 60 °C for 3 h. Yield: 1.187 g (89% based on the unpurified material) of 99% pure product as a white solid. 1H NMR (600 MHz, CD30D) d ppm 7.49 (d, J=7.3 Hz, 2 H) 7.37 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 2 H) 7.27 – 7.32 (m, 1 H) 5.23 (q, J=7.0 Hz, 1 H) 4.60 – 4.70 (m, 1 H) 3.55 (d, J=5.5 Hz, 2 H) 1.83 (d, J=7.3 Hz, 3 H) 1.67 – 1.76 (m, 1 H) 1.58 -1.65 (m, 1 H) 1.48 – 1.54 (m, 1 H) 1.00 (d, J=6.7 Hz, 3 H) 0.98 (d,J=6.7 Hz, 3 H). MS (ESI+) m/z 404 [M+H]+

The diasteromeric ratio of the final product reflects the enantiomeric ratio of the starting material (compound 1 ), which was 99.7% (S).

Rezuforimod is an experimental drug that acts as a potent and selective agonist of formyl peptide receptor 2 with an EC50 of 0.88 nM, which inhibits neutrophil adhesion and has antiinflammatory effects.[1][2]

Rezuforimod (also known by development codes AGN-232411 and AG-80308) is an experimental, first-in-class small molecule drug primarily being developed as a topical ophthalmic solution to treat dry eye disease (DED). It targets inflammation, which is a major underlying driver of dry eye symptoms and ocular surface damage.


👁️ Mechanism of Action

Rezuforimod operates through a targeted anti-inflammatory pathway:

  • FPR2 Agonism: It acts as a highly potent and selective agonist of Formyl Peptide Receptor 2 (FPR2/ALX), binding with an EC₅₀ of 0.88 nM.
  • Neutrophil Inhibition: Activating this receptor successfully inhibits neutrophil adhesion and migration to the ocular surface.
  • Inflammation Resolution: By mimicking natural pro-resolving leagues, it shuts down chronic inflammatory cascades on the corneal surface rather than just suppressing the immune system globally.

🔬 Clinical Trial Findings & Efficacy

In clinical assessments, Rezuforimod has shown excellent potential as a localized therapy:

  • Dosing: It is formulated as an eye drop administered twice daily (BID).
  • Objective Improvement: Over a 3-month trial period, it significantly reduced corneal and conjunctival staining scores (an objective measure of tissue damage on the surface of the eye). The most pronounced improvements were recorded at Day 43 and Day 84.
  • Subjective Relief: Patients reported a notable reduction in daily ocular discomfort and an improved Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) score.
  • Safety Profile: The drug has demonstrated a favorable safety profile with no serious drug-related adverse events, and no abnormal shifts in vital signs or systemic blood chemistry.

Janus tyrosine kinase 3/TEC family kinase inhibitor, antiinflammatory, veterinary, SX5UEP3JXA

Plodicitinib is a Janus tyrosine kinase 3/TEC family kinase inhibitor with anti-inflammatory activity.

Plodicitinib is a small-molecule, dual Janus tyrosine kinase 3 (JAK3) and TEC family kinase (specifically BTK) inhibitor that exhibits strong anti-inflammatory properties.

Mechanism of Action

The compound blocks specific enzymatic pathways involved in cellular signaling:

  • JAK3 Inhibition: It targets Janus kinase 3, which plays an essential role in transmitting signals for cytokines that regulate immune cell development and activation.
  • TEC/BTK Inhibition: It blocks Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK), a component vital for B-cell development and activation. [1, 2]
  • Combined Effect: By blocking these pathways, it suppresses the overactive immune and inflammatory responses that drive autoimmune and allergic conditions.

Applications and Development Status

  • Veterinary Medicine: In early 2026, Daewoong Pharmaceutical submitted an application to the Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency in South Korea for commercial approval of plodicitinib. It is being positioned as a specialized, companion animal-only treatment to manage atopic dermatitis in dogs.
  • Research Use: In the scientific community, it is actively utilized as a laboratory tool compound to study kinase signaling pathways and inflammatory disease models.

Fosrugocrixan (also known by its developmental code KAND145) is a novel, small-molecule drug candidate acting as a selective antagonist for CX3C chemokine receptor 1 (CX3CR1), commonly known as the fractalkine receptor.

Key Characteristics and Mechanism

  • Drug Class: It represents a first-in-class small molecule immune modulator.
  • Phosphate Prodrug: Fosrugocrixan is designed as a soluble phosphate prodrug. Once inside the body (in vivo), it converts into its active drug form, rugocrixan (formerly KAND567).
  • Mechanism of Action: By blocking the CX3CR1 fractalkine pathway, it controls and prevents the trafficking of disease-promoting immune cells. This blockage provides potent anti-inflammatory activity.

Clinical Development and Targets

The drug is being actively developed by Novakand Pharma (a company formerly known as Kancera). Its primary therapeutic targets span several conditions driven by runaway inflammation and immune responses:

  • Cardiovascular Diseases: Specifically targeted to manage conditions where hyper-inflammation damages tissue (such as post-myocardial infarction or heart conditions).
  • Autoimmune & Inflammatory Diseases: Evaluated for broad anti-inflammatory potential.
  • Oncology: Investigated for its ability to regulate the tumor microenvironment.

Preparation of (2R)-2-[(2-Amino-5-{[(1S)-1-phenylethyl]sulfanyl}[1,3]thiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidin-7-yl)amino]-4-methylpentyl dihydrogen phosphate

Phosphorus oxychloride (337 mg, 2.2 mmol) was dissolved in THE (0.75 mL) and water (25 mg, 1.4 mmol) was added. The mixture was cooled in an ice-bath and pyridine (111 mg, 113 μL, 1.4 mmol) was added followed by (2R)-2-[(2-amino-5-{[(1S)-1-phenylethyl]sulfanyl}-[1,3] thiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidin-7-yl)amino]-4-methylpentan-1-ol hydrochloride (110 mg, 0.25 mmol) (Karlstr6m S., et al., J. Med. Chem., 2013, 56, 3177-3190; WO 2006/107258). The reaction mixture was stirred at ice-bath temperature for 1 h. To a mixture of phosphorus oxychloride (337 mg, 2.2 mmol) and water (25 mg, 1.4 mmol) in THE was added, at ice-bath temperature pyridine (111 mg, 113 μL, 1.4 mmol). Half of this mixture was added to the reaction mixture described above. The reaction mixture was stirred at ice-bath temperature for another 1 h. Water (3 mL) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 15 min at ice-bath temperature and 20 min at room temperature. DCM (3 mL) was added and the phases were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with another portion of DCM (3 mL) and the organic phases were combined. At this point the product started to precipitate as a pale-yellow gum in the organic phase. MeOH was added and the now homogeneous solution was transferred to a round-bottomed flask and was evaporated to yield 120 mg of crude product, which according to HPLC was ca. 93% pure. The crude material was dissolved in a MeOH/water mixture and the pH was adjusted to about 6-7 with 1 M NaOH. The material was purified by preparative HPLC (basic method). The pure fractions were pooled, evaporated, and dried in vacuum. The product was assumed to be the diammonium salt after purification. 1H NMR (600 MHz, CD 3OD) δ ppm 7.43-7.47 (m, 2H) 7.30-7.35 (m, 2H) 7.20-7.24 (m, 1H) 5.08 (q, J=7.03 Hz, 1H) 4.59-4.68 (m, 1H) 3.92 (ddd, J=10.12, 5.67, 4.30 Hz, 1H) 3.88 (dt, J=10.12, 4.94 Hz, 1H) 1.74 (d, J=7.03 Hz, 3H) 1.71-1.79 (m, 1H) 1.68 (ddd, J=13.87, 9.54, 5.67 Hz, 1H) 1.57 (ddd, J=13.87, 8.54, 5.33 Hz, 1H) 0.98 (d, J=6.71 Hz, 3H) 0.96 (d, J=6.56 Hz, 3H).

Ofirnoflast is an investigational drug, a NEK7 inhibitor, that targets and disrupts the formation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, a key driver of chronic inflammation. Developed by Halia Therapeutics, it is being explored for conditions like myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)obesity, and Alzheimer’s disease. The drug’s unique mechanism aims to address inflammation at a root cause level, potentially offering a new approach to treating these diseases. 

How it works

  • Ofirnoflast is a “first-in-class” molecule that selectively inhibits the NEK7 protein.
  • NEK7 is essential for the assembly of the NLRP3 inflammasome, a molecular complex that causes chronic inflammation.
  • By inhibiting NEK7, ofirnoflast prevents the inflammasome from forming and promotes its disassembly.
  • This approach aims to reduce inflammation without causing broad immunosuppression. 

Therapeutic applications

  • Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS): Ofirnoflast has completed a Phase 2 study for this condition and received Orphan Drug Designation from the FDA. It is being investigated for its potential to improve blood cell production by targeting the underlying inflammation.
  • Obesity: An ongoing Phase 2 study is exploring ofirnoflast in combination with semaglutide to target inflammation and metabolic issues.
  • Alzheimer’s Disease: Ofirnoflast is part of an early-stage program looking into its potential for this disease. 

Ofirnoflast is a first-in-class, orally bioavailable NEK7 inhibitor currently undergoing Phase 2 clinical evaluation. It disrupts NLRP3 inflammasome assembly by targeting NEK7’s scaffolding function—blocking complex formation independently of NLRP3 activation status, upstream of caspase activation, pyroptosis, and inflammatory cytokine release. This mechanism offers a novel therapeutic approach for chronic inflammation. Unlike NSAIDs, corticosteroids, cytokine-neutralising biologics, and NLRP3-directed small molecules—which are frequently limited by off-target effects, immunosuppression, or incomplete efficacy—ofirnoflast provides a targeted approach with fewer anticipated liabilities

It has now been found that compounds of the present invention, and compositions thereof, are useful for treating, preventing, and/or reducing a risk of a disease, disorder, or condition in which aldehyde toxicity is implicated in the pathogenesis. In general, salt forms or freebase forms, and pharmaceutically acceptable compositions thereof, are useful for treating or lessening the severity of a variety of diseases or disorders as described in detail herein. Such compounds are represented by the chemical structure below, denoted as compound A:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

[0008] Compounds of the present invention, and pharmaceutically acceptable compositions thereof, are useful for treating a variety of diseases, disorders or conditions, associated with toxic aldehydes. Such diseases, disorders, or conditions include those described herein.

[0009] Compounds provided by this invention are also useful for the study of certain aldehydes in biology and pathological phenomena.

Scheme 1 – Synthesis of Compound A

Step 1: Synthesis of Compound A2

[00549] A 30L jacketed vessel equipped with mechanical agitation, baffle and nitrogen bleed was charged with methanol (10L). Compound A1 (2.0kg) was added, followed by further methanol to rinse (9L). The reaction mixture was warmed to Tjacket=40°C. Once temperature had stabilized, sulfuric acid (220 mL, 0.4eq.) was slowly added. Once addition was complete, agitation was maintained for 30 mins then the vessel was heated to Tjmt=62°C. Reaction progress was

monitored by LC-MS analysis of reaction mixture. The reaction does not go to completion but is deemed complete when no change is apparent in ratio of starting material : product.

[00550] The vessel contents were cooled to Tjmt=24°C and stirred 60 minutes before filtration under vacuum. The filter cake was air dried for 2 hours and the contents then dissolved in ethyl acetate (18L) which was then washed sequentially with saturated sodium bicarbonate (8L), water (8L) and brine (8L) before drying over sodium sulfate, filtration and evaporation in vacuo. Compound A2 (1.5kg, 68.1%) was obtained as a bright orange powder.

Step 2: Synthesis of Compound A3

[00551] A 30L jacketed vessel equipped with mechanical agitation, baffle and nitrogen bleed was charged with /V,/V-dimethylformamide (16L). Compound A2 (1.5kg) was added and the brown reaction mixture set to cool to Tint<20oC. Once temperature had stabilized, A-bromosucci ni mi de (l.5kg, 1.1 eq.) was added portion wise, maintaining Tint<27°C. Once addition was complete, the reaction was allowed to stir until starting material content was <1% AUC (250nm) by LCMS analysis.

[00552] A secondary jacketed vessel equipped with mechanical agitation, baffle and nitrogen bleed was charged with ethyl acetate (16L) and deionized water (22L). The reaction mixture was vacuum transferred into this vessel and held at high agitation for not less than 30 minutes. The aqueous layer was discharged and the organic layer washed with saturated sodium chloride (2 x 8L) then dried over sodium sulfate before evaporation in vacuo to Compound A3 as a deep brown oil (2.lkg, 100.8%), suitable for use in following step without purification.

Step 3: Synthesis of Compound A4

[00553] A 30L jacketed vessel equipped with mechanical agitation, baffle and nitrogen bleed was charged with dichloromethane (9L). Compound A3 (2.lkg) was added and the reaction mixture cooled to Tmt<l°C. A solution of Di-/er/-butyl dicarbonate (3.6kg, 2.2 eq.) in dichloromethane (0.5L) was added followed by a solution of A, A-di methyl ami nopyri di ne (92g, 0.1 eq.) in dichloromethane (0.5L). The resultant clear brown solution was stirred for 30 minutes whereupon pyridine (1.3L, 1.7 eq.) was dropwise added, maintaining Tint<5°C. Upon complete addition internal temperature was ramped from Tint=l°C to Tint=20°C over 18 hours.

[00554] The reaction mixture was sequentially washed with saturated sodium chloride (3 x 4.5L), 10 % w/v aqueous citric acid (2 x 4L), saturated sodium bicarbonate (4L), aqueous hydrochloric acid (1M, 4L), saturated sodium bicarbonate (4L) and saturated sodium chloride (4L) then dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo with one azeotropic distillation with toluene (2L) to a very dark, heavy tar (3.4kg).

[00555] The isolated tar was mixed with absolute ethanol (3.1L) for 2 days whereupon it was filtered providing light cream colored, granular solids and a black mother liquor. The solids were washed with ice-cold ethanol (3 x 1L) and dried to constant mass. Compound A4 was obtained as off- white granules (1.7 kg, 50.2%).

Step 4: Synthesis of Compound AS

[00556] A 30L jacketed vessel equipped with mechanical agitation, baffle and nitrogen bleed was charged with reagent alcohol (6.1 L) and Compound A4 (0.8kg), Tmt<20°C. Iron powder (0.5kg, 5.0 eq.) was added and the suspension stirred vigorously for 30 minutes. Acetic acid (glacial, 1.6L, 15.7 eq.) was added, maintaining Tint<30C.

[00557] Once LCMS confirmed complete consumption of starting material, ethyl acetate (10.2L) and water (10.2L) were added. Sodium bicarbonate (2.3kg, 15.9 eq.) was added portion wise and the layers separated once gas evolution had ceased. The aqueous layer was washed with ethyl acetate until LCMS indicated no further product was being extracted (8 x 2L) and the combined organic layers were sequentially washed with deionized water (6L) then saturated sodium chloride (6L) before drying over magnesium sulfate and evaporation in vacuo. Compound A5 was obtained as a light orange solid (0.7kg, 91.5%).

Step 5: Synthesis of Compound A6

[00558] A 30L jacketed vessel equipped with mechanical agitation, baffle and nitrogen bleed was charged with dichloromethane (9L), Compound A5 (0.7kg), and the reaction mixture cooled to Tint 20°C. Benzoyl chloride (0.3L, 1.5 eq.) was added and the reaction stirred 15 minutes. N,N-dimethylaminopyridine (7g, 0.04 eq.) in dichloromethane (0.1L) was added and the reaction stirred 15 minutes. Pyridine (0.5L, 2.5 eq.) was dropwise added, maintaining Tint<20°C. Upon complete addition the reaction was stirred until LCMS indicated consumption of starting material.

[00559] The reaction mixture was washed with deionized water (11L) and the organic layer extracted sequentially with aqueous hydrochloric acid (1M, 3 x 5L), saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (11 L), saturated sodium chloride (11 L), dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. Compound A6 was obtained as a cream colored solid, suitable for use without further purification (0.9kg, 100.7%).

Step 6: Synthesis of Compound A 7

[00560] A 30L jacketed vessel equipped with mechanical agitation, baffle and nitrogen bleed was charged with l,2-dimethoxy ethane (16L) and temperature set to Tint=2l°C. Compound A6 (0.9kg) was added and stirred to dissolution. Copper iodide (0.3kg, 1.0 eq.) was added and the mixture stirred 15 minutes. l, lO-phenanthroline (0.3kg, 1.2 eq.) was added and the mixture stirred 15 minutes. Cesium carbonate (l .5kg, 3.0 eq.) was added and the reaction was stirred for 15 minutes. The reaction temperature was ramped to Tint=80-85oC and maintained for 23 hours whereupon it was cooled to Tmt=20°C.

[00561] The reaction mixture was filtered through a celite pad, washing sequentially with deionized water (8L) and ethyl acetate (8L). The organic layer was extracted sequentially with deionized water (2 x 5L), saturated sodium chloride (4L), dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. Compound A7 was obtained as a brown solid, suitable for use without further purification (0.8kg, 104.1%).

Step 7: Synthesis of Compound A8

[00562] A 12L 3 -neck round bottom flask with nitrogen bleed and mechanical stirring was charged with a solution of Compound A7 (0.8kg) in dichloromethane (3.6L) and cooled to Tmt<5°C in an ice bath. Hydrochloric acid in dioxane (4M, 1 2L, 3.1 eq.) was added dropwise with vigorous stirring, maintaining Tmt<25°C. Once addition was complete, the reaction mixture was allowed to stir for 18 hours at Tint=20-25oC.

[00563] The reaction mixture was filtered and the filter cake washed with dichloromethane (2 x 1L) and dried to constant mass. The hydrochloride salt of Compound A8 was isolated as an off-white solid (0.5kg, 88.7%).

Step 8: Synthesis of Compound A

[00564] A 12L 3 -neck round bottom flask with nitrogen bleed and mechanical stirring was charged with a solution of Compound A8 (0.5kg) in tetrahydrofuran (4.8L) and cooled to Tint<-30°C in a dry-ice / acetone bath. Methylmagnesium bromide (3.4M in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, 2.4L, 5.0eq.) was added slowly, maintaining Tmt<-lO°C. Once addition was complete, the reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature overnight.

[00565] Saturated aqueous ammonium chloride (2L) and ethyl acetate (2L) were added and the reaction mixture stirred for 30 minutes. The aqueous layer was extracted with further ethyl acetate (2 x 2L) and the combined organic layers washed with saturated sodium chloride (2L), dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo to a dark heavy oil. The heavy oil was purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with ethyl acetate : heptane 1 : 19 to 1 : 1. Pure Compound A was obtained after evaporation and drying as a brown powder (99.8 g, 23.0%).

Primary Polymorph Screen

[00566] Based on solubility screen results, a primary polymorph screen using an initial set of 24 solvents, as shown in Table 18, was performed as follows: A) To 24 x 20 mL vials, approximately 50 mg of the received ADX-103 was added; B) The solids were then slurried in 2 mL of the solvents and left placed in an incubator/shaker to temperature cycle between ambient and 40 °C in 4 hour cycles; C) After 72 hours temperature cycling, the mother liquors were removed from the vials and split evenly between 4 x 2 mL vials. The vials were then split between evaporation, crash cooling to 2 °C and -18 °C and anti-solvent addition; and D) Any solids

recovered were analysed by XRPD, any new patterns identified were also analysed by TG/DTA and PLM.
