    Abstract: The present invention relates to an amorphous form of Idelalisib and its methods of preparation. Using a Cu-K? radiation, the X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) pattern does not contain sharp diffraction peaks at a diffraction angle expressed in degrees 2?, and the X-ray powder diffraction pattern is shown in FIG. 1. The present invention also provides a preparation method for the amorphous form of Idelalisib. The amorphous form of Idelalisib of the present invention increases the solubility of Idelalisib and improves bioavailability of the drug product. As compared to the existing crystalline forms of Idelalisib, its solubility increases significantly, which improves body's absorption of the drug and makes it more efficacious in the clinical therapeutic treatment of diseases. Under the stress test conditions, the amorphous material can maintain good physical and chemical stabilities. The preparation method of amorphous Idelalisib according to the present invention is simple to operate and easy to implement.

  • Publication number: 20180037586
    Abstract: Disclosed are new small molecules having a 4-methylpyrrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-8-carboxamide core structure and the uses thereof for modulating glucocerebrosidase activity. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the small molecules which may be administered in methods of treating diseases or disorders associated with glucocerebrosidase activity, including neurological diseases and disorders such as Gaucher's disease and Parkinson's disease. The small molecules may contain a fluorophore or may be conjugated to a fluorophore in order to prepare a fluorescent probe for use in high throughput screening methods to identify new modulators of glucocerebrosidase activity via fluorescence polarization.
