Tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF) is the newest prodrug of tenofovir that constitutes several drug products used for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. Although the solid-state properties of its predecessor tenofovir disoproxil fumarate have been investigated and described in the literature, there are no data in the scientific literature on the solid state properties of TAF. In our report, we describe the preparation of two novel polymorphs II and III of tenofovir alafenamide monofumarate (TA MF2 and TA MF3). The solid-state structure of these compounds was investigated in parallel to the previously known tenofovir alafenamide monofumarate form I (TA MF1) and tenofovir alafenamide hemifumarate (TA HF). Interestingly, the single-crystal X-ray diffraction of TA HF revealed that this derivative exists as a co-crystal form. In addition, we prepared a crystalline tenofovir alafenamide free base (TA) and its hydrochloride salt (TA HCl), which enabled us to determine the structure of TA MF derivatives using 15N-ssNMR (15N-solid state nuclear magnetic resonance). Surprisingly, we observed that TA MF1 exists as a mixed ionization state complex or pure salt, while TA MF2 and TA MF3 can be obtained as pure co-crystal forms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
