Attorney Docket No.: 254409.000632 MARALIXIBAT SOLID FORMS, INTERMEDIATES AND PROCESSES OF MAKING SAME CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims benefit to Provisional Application No.63/406,556, filed September 14, 2022, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety, and to which application we claim priority. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to highly pure and crystalline compounds as starting materials and intermediates to make maralixibat and the process of making highly pure maralixibat. BACKGROUND [0003] Hypercholemia and cholestatic liver diseases are liver diseases associated with impaired bile secretion (i.e., cholestasis), associated with and often secondary to the intracellular accumulation of bile acids/salts in the hepatocyte. Hypercholemia is characterized by increased serum concentration of bile acid or bile salt. Cholestasis can be categorized clinicopathologically into two principal categories of obstructive, often extrahepatic, cholestasis, and nonobstructive, or intrahepatic, cholestasis. Nonobstructive intrahepatic cholestasis can further be classified into two principal subgroups of primary intrahepatic cholestasis that result from constitutively defective bile secretion, and secondary intrahepatic cholestasis that result from hepatocellular injury. Primary intrahepatic cholestasis includes diseases such as benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis, which is predominantly an adult form with similar clinical symptoms, and progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) types 1, 2, and 3, which are diseases that affect children. [0004] Alagille syndrome is an inherited condition in which bile builds up in the liver. One of the major features of Alagille syndrome is liver damage caused by abnormalities in the bile ducts. Alagille syndrome is associated with abnormalities of the liver, heart, skeleton, eye, and kidneys and a characteristic facial appearance. [0005] Maralixibat (as maralixibat chloride) is currently the only approved medication to treat pruritus in people with Alagille syndrome. It is known that maralixibat chloride inhibits apical sodium co-dependent bile acid transport (U.S. Pat. No. 5,994,391). The synthesis of maralixibat chloride is previously disclosed in U.S. patent application Pub. No. 2003/0199515A1. Conventional methods of synthesizing maralixibat chloride resulted in the presence of undesirable structurally related impurities and other solid forms. 1 162780423v1 Attorney Docket No.: 254409.000632 [0006] Thus, there is a need for a novel process of making highly pure maralixibat from highly pure and crystalline compounds there are starting materials or intermediates in order to minimize formations of impurities. Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to this and other considerations. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0007] Various non-limiting aspects and embodiments of the invention are described below.

[0245] In some embodiments, the cholestatic liver disease or condition is Alagille syndrome (ALGS). 28 162780423v1 Attorney Docket No.: 254409.000632 Alagille Syndrome [0001] Alagille syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the liver and other organs. It often presents during infancy (e.g., age 6-18 months) through early childhood (e.g., age 3-5 years) and may stabilize after the age of 10. Symptoms may include chronic progressive cholestasis, ductopenia, jaundice, pruritus, xanthomas, congenital heart problems, paucity of intrahepatic bile ducts, poor linear growth, hormone resistance, posterior embryotoxon, Axenfeld anomaly, retinitis pigmentosa, pupillary abnormalities, cardiac murmur, atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, and Tetralogy of Fallot. Individuals diagnosed with Alagille syndrome have been treated with ursodiol, hydroxyzine, cholestyramine, rifampicin, and phenobarbitol. Due to a reduced ability to absorb fat-soluble vitamins, individuals with Alagille Syndrome are further administered high dose multivitamins. [0246] In some embodiments, the cholestatic liver disease is associated with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC). Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis (PFIC) [0002] PFIC is a rare genetic disorder that causes progressive liver disease typically leading to liver failure. In people with PFIC, liver cells are less able to secrete bile. The resulting buildup of bile causes liver disease in affected individuals. Signs and symptoms of PFIC typically begin in infancy. Patients experience severe itching, jaundice, failure to grow at the expected rate (failure to thrive), and an increasing inability of the liver to function (liver failure). The disease is estimated to affect one in every 50,000 to 100,000 births in the United States and Europe. Six types of PFIC have been genetically identified, all of which are similarly characterized by impaired bile flow and progressive liver disease. PFIC 1 [0003] PFIC 1 (also known as, Byler disease or FICl deficiency) is associated with mutations in the ATP8B1 gene (also designated as FICl). This gene, which encodes a P-type ATPase, is located on human chromosome 18 and is also mutated in the milder phenotype, benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis type 1 (BRIO) and in Greenland familial cholestasis. FICl protein is located on the canalicular membrane of the hepatocyte but within the liver it is mainly expressed in cholangiocytes. P-type ATPase appears to be an aminophospholipid transporter responsible for maintaining the enrichment of phosphatidylserine and phophatidylethanolamme on the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane in comparison of the outer leaflet. The asymmetric distribution of lipids in the membrane bilayer plays a protective role against high bile salt concentrations in the canalicular lumen. The 29 162780423v1 Attorney Docket No.: 254409.000632 abnormal protein function may indirectly disturb the biliary secretion of bile acids. The anomalous secretion of bile acids/salts leads to hepatocyte bile acid overload. [0004] PFIC 1 typically presents in infants (e.g., age 6-18 months). The infants may show signs of pruritus, jaundice, abdominal distension, diarrhea, malnutrition, and shortened stature. Biochemically, individuals with PFIC 1 have elevated serum transaminases, elevated bilirubin, elevated serum bile acid levels, and low levels of gammaGT. The individual may also have liver fibrosis. Individuals with PFIC 1 typically do not have bile duct proliferation. Most individuals with PFIC 1 will develop end- stage liver disease by 10 years of age. No medical treatments have proven beneficial for the long-term treatment of PFIC 1. In order to reduce extrahepatic symptoms (e.g., malnutrition and failure to thrive), children are often administered medium chain triglycerides and fat-soluble vitamins. Ursodiol has not been demonstrated as effective in individuals with PFIC 1. PFIC 2 [0005] PFIC 2 (also known as, Byler Syndrome, BSEP deficiency) is associated with mutations in the ABCB11 gene (also designated BSEP). The ABCB11 gene encodes the ATP-dependent canalicular bile salt export pump (BSEP) of human liver and is located on human chromosome 2. BSEP protein, expressed at the hepatocyte canalicular membrane, is the major exporter of primary bile acids/salts against extreme concentration gradients. Mutations in this protein are responsible for the decreased biliary bile salt secretion described in affected patients, leading to decreased bile flow and accumulation of bile salts inside the hepatocyte with ongoing severe hepatocellular damage. [0006] PFIC 2 typically presents in infants (e.g., age 6-18 months). The infants may show signs of pruritus. Biochemically, individuals with PFIC 2 have elevated serum transaminases, elevated bilirubin, elevated serum bile acid levels, and low levels of gammaGT. The individual may also have portal inflammation and giant cell hepatitis. Further, individuals often develop hepatocellular carcinoma. No medical treatments have proven beneficial for the long-term treatment of PFIC 2. In order to reduce extrahepatic symptoms (e.g., malnutrition and failure to thrive), children are often administered medium chain triglycerides and fat- soluble vitamins. The PFIC 2 patient population accounts for approximately 60% of the PFIC population. PFIC 3 [0007] PFIC 3 (also known as MDR3 deficiency) is caused by a genetic defect in the ABCB4 gene (also designated MDR3) located on chromosome 7. Class III Multidrug Resistance (MDR3) P- glycoprotein (P-gp), is a phospholipid translocator involved in biliary phospholipid (phosphatidylcholine) excretion in the canlicular membrane of the hepatocyte. PFIC 3 results from 30 162780423v1 Attorney Docket No.: 254409.000632 the toxicity of bile in which detergent bile salts are not inactivated by phospholipids, leading to bile canaliculi and biliary epithelium injuries. [0008] PFIC 3 also presents in early childhood. As opposed to PFIC 1 and PFIC 2, individuals have elevated gammaGT levels. Individuals also have portal inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and massive bile duct proliferation. Individuals may also develop intrahepatic gallstone disease. Ursodiol has been effective in treating or ameliorating PFIC 3. PFIC 4 [0247] PFIC 4 (also known as beta-hydroxy-delta-5-C27-steroid oxidoreductase deficiency or TJP2 deficiency) is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the TJP2 gene (607709) on chromosome 9q21. The TJP2 protein (Tight Junction Protein 2, sometimes called ZO2) plays a role in “tight junctions”. Tight junctions are areas where the membranes of two adjacent cells join to form a barrier. The barrier controls what molecules are able to pass between cells. Such junctions are important throughout the body, and TJP2 is not specific to the liver. A mild form of liver disease associated with mutations in the TPJ 2 gene was previously called familial hypercholanaemia (which means high bile salts in blood). Only a small number of patients with PFIC caused by TJP2 mutation have been studied so far, so it is not yet understood of what manifestations, other than liver disease and its consequences that TJP2 deficiency patients may have. [0248] Children with TJP2 related cholestasis (PFIC-4) have a variable spectrum of presentation. Some have a self-limiting disease, while others have progressive liver disease with an increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma. Hence, frequent surveillance for hepatocellular carcinoma is recommended from infancy. PFIC 5 [0249] PFIC 5 (also known as FXR deficiency) is caused by a mutation in the NR1H4 gene, which encodes the FXR (the Farnesoid X Receptor) protein. This protein is important in regulation of bile acid metabolism in the liver and intestine, as well as in other aspects of metabolism. Patients with PFIC due to FXR deficiency (PFIC 5) seem to develop rapidly progressing liver disease potentially very early in infancy. Few patients have been reported so far, although it is expected more will likely be identified as this cause of PFIC is fairly newly described. [0250] PFIC-5 patients usually have rapidly progressive liver disease with early onset coagulopathy, high alpha-fetoprotein and ultimately require a liver transplant. PFIC 6 [0251] PFIC 6, also known as MYO5B deficiency, is the newest identified PFIC type. MYO5B is involved in maintaining proper functioning of cell membranes and helping to move proteins, such 31 162780423v1 Attorney Docket No.: 254409.000632 as BSEP, to where they are needed. MY05B has been related to intestinal disorder, cholestasis, or both. Some patients with cholestasis due to MYO5B deficiency have progressive liver disease, while others have it only intermittently. Subjects with MYO5 B-related disease can present with isolated cholestasis or cholestasis with intractable diarrhea (MVID). These children are at risk of worsening cholestasis post intestinal transplant (IT) for MVID, hence combined intestinal and liver transplant or IT with biliary diversion is preferred. [0252] Immunohistochemistry can differentiate most of the variants of PFIC but confirmation requires genetic analysis. Benign Recurrent Intrahepatic Cholestasis (BRIC) BRIC 1 [0253] BRIC1 is caused by a genetic defect of the FIC1 protein in the canalicular membrane of hepatocytes. BRIC1 is typically associated with normal serum cholesterol and γ- glutamyltranspeptidase levels, but elevated serum bile salts. Residual FIC1 expression and function is associated with BRIC1. Despite recurrent attacks of cholestasis or cholestatic liver disease, there is no progression to chronic liver disease in a majority of patients. During the attacks, the patients are severely jaundiced and have pruritis, steatorrhea, and weight loss. Some patients also have renal stones, pancreatitis, and diabetes. BRIC 2 [0254] BRIC2 is caused by mutations in ABCB11, leading to defective BSEP expression and/or function in the canalicular membrane of hepatocytes. BRIC 3 [0255] BRIC3 is related to the defective expression and/or function of MDR3 in the canalicular membrane of hepatocytes. Patients with MDR3 deficiency usually display elevated serum γ- glutamyltranspeptidase levels in the presence of normal or slightly elevated bile acid levels. Biliary Atresia [0256] Biliary atresia is a life-threatening condition in infants in which the bile ducts inside or outside the liver do not have normal openings. With biliary atresia, bile becomes trapped, builds up, and damages the liver. The damage leads to scarring, loss of liver tissue, and cirrhosis. Without treatment, the liver eventually fails, and the infant needs a liver transplant to stay alive. The two types of biliary atresia are fetal and perinatal. Fetal biliary atresia appears while the baby is in the womb. 32 162780423v1 Attorney Docket No.: 254409.000632 Perinatal biliary atresia is much more common and does not become evident until 2 to 4 weeks after birth. Post-Kasai Biliary Atresia [0257] Biliary atresia is treated with surgery called the Kasai procedure or a liver transplant. The Kasai procedure is usually the first treatment for biliary atresia. During a Kasai procedure, the pediatric surgeon removes the infant's damaged bile ducts and brings up a loop of intestine to replace them. While the Kasai procedure can restore bile flow and correct many problems caused by biliary atresia, the surgery doesn't cure biliary atresia. If the Kasai procedure is not successful, infants usually need a liver transplant within 1 to 2 years. Even after a successful surgery, most infants with biliary atresia slowly develop cirrhosis over the years and require a liver transplant by adulthood. Possible complications after the Kasai procedure include ascites, bacterial cholangitis, portal hypertension, and pruritis. Post Liver Transplantation Biliary Atresia [0258] If the atresia is complete, liver transplantation is the only option. Although liver transplantation is generally successful at treating biliary atresia, liver transplantation may have complications such as organ rejection. Also, a donor liver may not become available. Further, in some patients, liver transplantation may not be successful at curing biliary atresia. Xanthoma [0259] Xanthoma is a skin condition associated with cholestatic liver diseases, in which certain fats build up under the surface of the skin. Cholestasis results in several disturbances of lipid metabolism resulting in formation of an abnormal lipid particle in the blood called lipoprotein X. Lipoprotein X is formed by regurgitation of bile lipids into the blood from the liver and does not bind to the LDL receptor to deliver cholesterol to cells throughout the body as does normal LDL. Lipoprotein X increases liver cholesterol production by five-fold and blocks normal removal of lipoprotein particles from the blood by the liver. Acquired Cholestatic Disease Pediatric Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) [0260] Pediatric PSC is a chronic inflammatory hepatic disorder slowly progressing to end stage liver failure in most of the affected patients. In pediatric PSC inflammation, fibrosis and obstruction of large and medium sized intra- and extrahepatic ductuli is predominant. Gallstone Disease 33 162780423v1 Attorney Docket No.: 254409.000632 [0261] Gallstone disease is one of the most common and costly of all digestive diseases with a prevalence of up to 17% in Caucasian women. Cholesterol containing gallstones are the major form of gallstones and supersaturation of bile with cholesterol is therefore a prerequisite for gallstone formation. ABCB4 mutations may be involved in the pathogenesis of cholesterol gallstone disease. Drug Induced Cholestasis [0262] Inhibition of BSEP function by drugs is an important mechanism of drug-induced cholestasis, leading to the hepatic accumulation of bile salts and subsequent liver cell damage. Several drugs have been implicated in BSEP inhibition. Most of these drugs, such as rifampicin, cyclosporine, glibenclamide, or troglitazone directly cis-inhibit ATP-dependent taurocholate transport in a competitive manner, while estrogen and progesterone metabolites indirectly trans-inhibits BSEP after secretion into the bile canaliculus by Mrp2. Alternatively, drug-mediated stimulation of MRP2 can promote cholestasis or cholestatic liver disease by changing bile composition. Total Parenteral Nutrition Associated Cholestasis [0263] TPNAC is one of the most serious clinical scenarios where cholestasis or cholestatic liver disease occurs rapidly and is highly linked with early death. Infants, who are usually premature and who have had gut resections are dependent upon TPN for growth and frequently develop cholestasis or cholestatic liver disease that rapidly progresses to fibrosis, cirrhosis, and portal hypertension, usually before 6 months of life. The degree of cholestasis or cholestatic liver disease and chance of survival in these infants have been linked to the number of septic episodes, likely initiated by recurrent bacterial translocation across their gut mucosa. Although there are also cholestatic effects from the intravenous formulation in these infants, septic mediators likely contribute the most to altered hepatic function.

Synthesis and Characterization of Compound of Formula I 2.1 Synthesis of Compound of Formula I [0289] The synthetic process is outlined in the flow diagram below. Scheme 1. Overall Synthetic Scheme for Compound of Formula I 40 162780423v1 Attorney Docket No.: 254409.000632 [0290] Compound of Formula I is synthesized by: (a) cyclizing acyclic precursor 2-butyl-2-(((4- (dimethylamino)-2-(4-methoxybenzyl)phenyl)sulfonyl)methyl)he ptanal with potassium tert-butoxide (KOtBu) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) to generate a racemic mixture of 1:1 R,R and S,S stereoisomers; and (b) separating the R,R and S,S stereoisomers with Simulated Moving Bed (SMB) chromatography to obtain isolated R,R stereoisomer of Formula I, as shown in Scheme 1. [0291] In another embodiment, the racemic mixture of 1:1 R,R and S,S isomers is generated by the recycling and racemization of the undesired S,S stereoisomer with KOtBu in THF in Scheme 1. [0292] In some embodiments, the mobile phase used in the SMB conditions an inert solvent such as acetone, methyltetrahydrofuran (MeTHF), dichloromethane (DCM), pyridine, chlorobenzene 41 162780423v1 Attorney Docket No.: 254409.000632 (PhCl), methyl acetate (MeOAc), ethyl acetate (EtOAc), benzene, toluene, methyl tert-butyl ether (MtBE) and n-heptane. [0293] In another embodiments, the mobile phase used in the SMB conditions were 70/30 n- heptane:DCM, 70/30 PhCl:n-heptane, and 90/10 toluene:n-heptane. [0294] In some embodiments, the immobilized chiral stationary phases (CSP) were Chiralpak IA, Chiralpak OD-I(IB), Chiralpak IC, Chiralpak ID, Chiralpack IE, Chiralpak IF, Regis Whelk, O-2, Regis ULMO, Regis DACH-DMB, Regis Burke, Shiseido Ceramospher RU-1, and Shiseido Ceramospher RU-2.

In a preferrred embodiment, the crystalline Form A of compound of Formula I was prepared from nonprotic solvents. [0296] In some embodiments, purified and crystalline compound of Formula I comprises about ≤0.30% to about ≤0.50% of the S,S stereoisomer. [0297] Production of compound of Formula I utilized the Simulated Moving Bed (SMB) chromatography technique to separate the desired enantiomer from the racemic mixture. SMB is known for separating racemic mixtures into the enantiomers. SMB separation cycles were typically carried out 2–4 times to provide sufficient quantities of compound of Formula I for subsequent process stages. This process produced compound of Formula I with high purity. Other known chiral separation techniques can also be implemented. A sample of compound of Formula I with chiral purity of 99.5% and achiral purity of 100% was obtained and characterized using various analytical techniques with results described in Table 2-1. The polymorphs were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), and Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM). The XRPD data result showed that compound of Formula I is crystalline prepared by Example 2.1 and was assigned Form A. 42 162780423v1 Attorney Docket No.: 254409.000632 Table 2-1.

Form B was observed only as a wet cake, which convers back to Form A when air-dried. The XRPD, TGA/DSC, and PLM characterizations with the same parameters described above were performed. FIG.4 shows XRPD of the wet cake of Form B. TGA of the Form B was also obtained and showed a weigh loss of 45.09% up to 100⁰C (FIG.5). The weight loss started immediately with heat applied and it stopped 75 ℃. The wet cake sample was air-dried overnight, the XRPD of the air-dried cake showed that it was converted back to Form A. Example 3. Polymorph Screening of Compound of Formula I [0302] The approximate solubility of compound of Formula I (starting material, prepared as described above) was measured at RT in 20 different solvents. Approximately 2 mg of starting material were added into a 3-mL glass vial. Solvents were then added step wise into the vials until the solids were dissolved or a total volume of 1 mL was reached (Note: this is not thermodynamic solubility estimation, vortex and sonication were applied in between each solvent to accelerate the dissolution). Results summarized in Table 3-1 were used to guide the solvent selection for the polymorph screening. Beginning with the starting material, polymorph screening experiments were set up using methods of Slurry at different temperatures, Slow Cooling, Liquid and Solid Vapor Diffusion, Slow Evaporation, Anti-Solvent Addition and Ionic Liquid. The methods utilized, and crystal forms identified are summarized in Table 3-2 (Type A and Form A are used interchangeably and Type B and Form B are used interchangeably). Table 3-1.

Those solutions were then cooled from 50°C to 5°C over a period of 7.5 hrs inside of an incubator. After this period, all solutions were clear (no solids). They were then set to slow evaporate at room temperature for 5 days. No solids were observed after 5 days, so the samples were moved to -14°C for 3 days.

Summary of slow cooling experiments [0320] As described above, polymorph screening experiments were set up using methods of Slurry at different temperatures, Slow Cooling, Liquid and Solid Vapor Diffusion, Slow Evaporation, Anti-Solvent Addition, and Ionic Liquid. Two types, Form A (anhydrate) and Form B (weak solvate) were obtained from the experiments. Form B was obtained from the wet cake of Anti-solvent Addition experiment with ACN/water; however, the dry cake converted back to Form A. [0321] Further investigation was performed for Form B to better understand the phase origin. Form B was successfully remade with the same method (anti-solvent addition with ACN/water), the centrifuged wet cake was quickly tested by TGA and resulted in 45% weight loss. The air-dried cake again converted back to Form A. Since none of the other experiments involving water or acetonitrile produced Form B, Form B is either mixed very labile acetonitrile/water solvate/hydrate, or a metastable polymorph. [0322] Other than Form B (i.e., Type B), no additional polymorph was observed during the rest of the screening. However, Form B (i.e., Type B) can easily convert back to Form A (i.e. Type A) upon drying, therefore, it is concluded that Form A (i.e. Type A) is the most stable form under the conditions tested in this study and is recommended for further development. Example 4. Synthesis of Compound of Formula III 54 162780423v1 Attorney Docket No.: 254409.000632 [0323] The synthetic scheme for the manufacture of maralixibat chloride (Formula III), beginning with compound of Formula I, is shown below. Table 4-1 shows the abbreviations for the reagents used in the synthesis. Scheme 2. Overall Synthetic Scheme for Manufacture of Maralixibat Chloride CH 3 SO 3 H Methanesulfonic acid [0324] The synthesis of compound of Formula III is a three stage (four synthetic steps) linear synthesis process. Formula I is demethylated to Formula II which is telescoped through a three (3) step process to crude maralixibat. The intermediates are not isolated. Crude maralixibat is crystallized to Maralixibat. The typical batch size of the maralixibat drug substance varies based on commercial demand and is expected to be ~15-20 kg. Some of the examples provided herein were implemented at 55 162780423v1 Attorney Docket No.: 254409.000632 a smaller scale (~5 kg). All reactions are stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere unless otherwise indicated. Stage 1- Synthesis of Compound of Formula II from Compound of Formula I [0325] A reaction vessel is charged with methanesulfonic acid, followed by methionine and compound of Formula I. The mixture is heated and an in-process check (IPC) by HPLC is performed to ensure that the conversion is ≥ 98%. The reaction mixture is diluted with water and extracted with methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK). The aqueous phase is back extracted with MIBK. The combined organic layer is washed with aqueous sodium bicarbonate followed by a water wash. The organic phase is filtered through carbon and distilled to the target volume. The resulting slurry is diluted with heptane to complete the precipitation. The mixture is cooled and the product is collected by filtration and washed with a mixture of heptane and MIBK. The product is dried under reduced pressure to give compound of formula II in approximately 90% yield and 99% purity. Stage 2- Synthesis of Crude Maralixibat from Compound of Formula II Step 1- Synthesis of Compound of Formula IV Compound of Formula II [0326] A reaction vessel is charged with compound of Formula II, potassium phosphate, 4- (Chloromethyl) benzyl alcohol (CMBA, C-003838) and acetone and heated to reflux. An in-process check is performed using HPLC analysis to ensure that conversion to compound of Formula IV is ≥ 97%. [0327] 1,4-Diazabicyclo -[2.2.2]octane is added to the reaction mixture to consume any unreacted CMBA reagent. After confirming that CMBA content is ≤ 0.05% by an in-process check, the mixture is cooled and diluted with toluene and the organic layer is washed with water. The layers are separated and the organic phase is concentrated under reduced pressure to the target volume to give crude (4R,5R)-3,3-dibutyl-5-[4-[[4-(hydroxymethyl) phenyl]methoxy]phenyl]-7- (dimethylamino)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-l-benzothiepin-4-ol 1,1-dioxide (Formula IV) in toluene. The organic solution containing Formula IV is used in the next step without further purification. Step 2- Synthesis of Compound of Formula V from Compound of Formula IV [0328] The organic solution containing compound of Formula IV from the previous step is reacted with thionyl chloride diluted in toluene while maintaining the temperature between 20°C ± 5°C. The solution is stirred and an in-process check is performed to ensure that the conversion to Formula V has reached ≥ 99%. The reaction mixture is washed with water. After phase separation, 56 162780423v1 Attorney Docket No.: 254409.000632 7.4% sodium bicarbonate solution is used to wash the organic phase, followed by another two water washes after each phase separation. The organic phase is concentrated under reduced pressure to the target volume. (4R, 5R)-3,3-dibutyl-5-(4-((4-(chloromethyl)benzyl)oxy)phenyl)-7- (dimethylamino)- 4-hydroxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiepine 1,1-dioxide (Formula V) is used in the next step without further purification. Step 3- Synthesis of Crude Maralixibat from Compound of Formula V [0329] The solution containing compound of Formula V is added to a heated solution of DABCO in MEK/water containing C-025325 seed. An HPLC check is performed to ensure that the conversion is ≥ 99.5%. After completion of the reaction, MEK is added to complete the precipitation of the product. The suspension is cooled, and the solid is collected by filtration and dried to provide the crude maralixibat. An overall yield of approximately 90% over the three steps is obtained. Stage 3- Purification of Crude Maralixibat [0330] Crude maralixibat is dissolved in MEK/water/DABCO, seeded with C-025325 and heated. To the solution, MEK is added to crystallize the product. The suspension is cooled, filtered and dried to form the recrystallized maralixibat in approximately 90% yield and > 99% purity and 100% chiral purity. Example 4. Characterization of Compound of Formula II 4.1 Form X of Compound of Formula II [0331] The XRPD, TGA/DSC, and PLM characterizations with the same parameters described above were performed using the sample prepared according to stage 1 of Example 4 from compound of Formula I prepared as described in Example 2.1. Form X crystalline of compound of Formula II was identified, based on the XRPD patterns shown in FIG.6. As shown by TGA and DSC data in FIG.7, the material is anhydrous, and melts at 216.1 °C, as determined by the onset of the melting endotherm. Rod shaped crystals were observed by PLM (FIG.8). Based on the thermal data, the starting material was determined to be an anhydrate. Example 5. Polymorph Screening of Compound of Formula II [0332] Polymorph Screening experiments were set up using methods of Slurry at different temperatures, Slow Cooling, Liquid and Solid Vapor Diffusion, Slow Evaporation, Anti-Solvent 57 162780423v1 Attorney Docket No.: 254409.000632 Addition, and Ionic Liquid. However, the data showed that in all these conditions the only crystalline form is Form X. No new polymorph was observed during the screening. [0333] The approximate solubility of compound of Formula II (starting material) was determined at RT in 20 different solvents. Approximately 2 mg of the material were added into a 2- mL glass vial. Solvents were then added step into the vials until the solids were dissolved or a total volume of 1 mL was reached (Note: this is not a thermodynamic solubility estimation; vortex and sonication were applied in between each solvent addition to accelerate the dissolution). Results summarized in Table 5-1 were used to guide the solvent selection for the polymorph screening. Beginning with the starting material, polymorph screening experiments were set up using methods of Slurry at different temperatures, Slow Cooling, Liquid and Solid Vapor Diffusions, Slow Evaporation, Anti-Solvent Addition, and Ionic Liquid.

The solid can be held for at least a month under vacuum at 40 °C (98.74% purity of compound of Formula II). Example 7. Characterization of Compound of Formula III in the amorphous form [0351] The amorphous sample of Compound of Formula III was obtained via rotary evaporation of methanol solution, and its XRPD was shown in FIG.9. The DSC curve of 67 162780423v1 Attorney Docket No.: 254409.000632 amorphous sample is shown in FIG.10. As shown in FIG.10, no obvious glass transition signal was observed in the DSC of the amorphous sample. Example 8. Characterization of Compound of Formula III in the crystalline form 8.1 Anhydrate Form II of Compound of Formula III [0352] Anhydrate Form II of compound of Formula III was characterized by XRPD, TGA, DSC and HPLC. As shown in XRPD result (FIG.11), the sample was crystalline and conformed to Form II. Its HPLC purity was determined to be 99.78 area%. As shown in FIG.12, a weight loss of 1.0% before 225 ºC in TGA and one sharp endothermic peak at 286.3 ºC (onset temperature) in DSC were observed. The PLM image shows rods-like crystals (FIG.13). Form II is the stable form of compound of Formula III. 8.2 Hydrate Form I of Compound of Formula III [0353] Form I of compound of Formula III was obtained via slurry of Form II in MeOH and then air dried for about 1 hr before characterization. Its HPLC purity was determined to be 99.83 area%. XRPD pattern is shown in FIG.14, and TGA/DSC curves are displayed in FIG.15. The results indicated that Form I was crystalline with a weight loss of 4.5% before 150 ºC in TGA and two endothermic peaks at 48.2 and 238.7 ºC in DSC (onset temperature).
