An example of BET protein inhibitor is teins (BRD2, BRD3, BRD4 and BRD-t) that share a con (4S)-7-(3,5-dimethylisoxazol-4-yl)-4-pyridin-2-yl-4,5-dihy served structural organization containing tandem N-terminal droimidazo[1,5,4-de(1,4)benzoxazin-2(1H)-one which is bromodomains capable of binding to acetylated lysine resi described in U.S. Pat. App. Pub. No. 2014/0275030. While dues of histones and other proteins. BRD2, BRD3 and certain inhibitors of BET proteins are in the literature, there BRD4 are ubiquitously expressed while BRD-t is restricted remains a need for new solid forms of these inhibitors to germ cells. BRD proteins play essential, but non-over having Suitable properties useful in the manufacture of safe, lapping roles in regulating gene transcription and controlling effective, high quality drug products. The present invention cell growth. BET proteins are associated with large protein described herein is directed toward this end. complexes including Mediator, PAFc and Super elongation complex that regulate many aspects of gene transcription. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION BRD2 and BRD4 proteins have been shown to remain in complex with chromosomes during mitosis and are required 0005. The present invention provides, inter alia, a solid to promote transcription of critical genes including cyclin D form, which is an amorphous powder, of the BET protein and c-Myc that initiate the cell cycle.

An alternative name for the same compound is from a role in cancer, BET proteins regulate inflammatory (3S)-6-(3,5-dimethylisoxazol-4-yl)-3-(pyridin-2-yl)-3,4-di responses to bacterial challenge, and a BRD2 hypomorph hydro-5-oxa-12a-diazaacenaphthylen-2(1H)-one. US 2017/O121347 A1 May 4, 2017 impurity in the amorphous form of the invention is water, Compound 1-(S) which can be present, for example, in an amount of less than N about 5%, less than about 3%, less than about 2%, less, than about 1.5%, less than about 1%, or less than about 0.5%. Na2 0017. The solid form of the invention can be made by initially dissolving Compound 1-(S) in water with the aid of s O a base (e.g., a strong base). While not wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the base (e.g., strong base) r ( assists dissolution of Compound 1-(S) by deprotonation of O NH the weakly acidic cyclic urea group. In this way, a Sufficient amount of Compound 1-(S) can be dissolved in aqueous Solution for purification. As used herein, the term “aqueous solution” refers to a solvent system comprised primarily of (N water. In some embodiments, the aqueous Solution is free from organic Substances, such as organic Solvents, with the exception of Compound 1-(S). In some embodiments, the 0012. The amorphous solid form of the invention has aqueous solution may contain acids and/or bases, such as several properties making it particularly Suitable for scale up inorganic acids and/or bases. Additionally, the aqueous and formulation. For example, the solid form of the inven Solution may contain one or more salts or ions, such as tion has good stability with respect to decomposition and inorganic salts or ions.
