As discussed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,871,991, 9,381,206, 8,951,986, and 8,658,617, ethyl ((S)-((((2R,5R)-5-(6-amino-9H-purin-9-yl)-4-fluoro-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-yl)oxy)methyl)(phenoxy)phosphoryl)-L-alaninate is a reverse transcriptase inhibitor that blocks the replication of HIV viruses, in vivo and in vitro, and has limited undesirable side effects when administered to human beings. This compound has a favorable in vitro resistance profile with activity against Nucleoside RT Inhibitor (NRTI)-Resistance Mutations, such as Ml 84V, K65R, L74V, and one or more (e.g., 1, 2, 3, or 4) TAMs (thymidine analogue mutations). It has the following formula (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 7,871,991), which is referred to as Formula I:

[0004] Ethyl ((S)-((((2R,5R)-5-(6-amino-9H-purin-9-yl)-4-fluoro-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-yl)oxy)methyl)(phenoxy)phosphoryl)-L-alaninate is difficult to isolate, purify, store for an extended period, and formulate as a pharmaceutical composition.

[0005] The compound of formula la was previously identified as the most chemically stable form of ethyl ((S)-((((2R,5R)-5-(6-amino-9H-purin-9-yl)-4-fluoro-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-

yl)oxy)methyl)(phenoxy)phosphoryl)-L-alaninate. See, e.g. , U.S. Pat. Nos. 8,658,617,

8,951,986, and 9,381,206. However, a total degradation increase of 2.6% was observed when the compound of formula (la) was stored at 25 °C/60% RH over 6 months. Therefore, the compound of formula la requires refrigeration for long-term storage.

[0006] Accordingly, there is a need for stable forms of the compound of Formula I with suitable chemical and physical stability for the formulation, therapeutic use, manufacturing, and storage of the compound. New forms, moreover, can provide better stability for the active pharmaceutical substance in a pharmaceutical formulation.
