The present invention pertains generally to the field of therapeutic compounds, and more specifically to crystalline forms of 4-(5-(4,7-dimethylbenzofuran-2-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)benzoic acid (referred to herein as “BHBA-001”), which, inter alia, is a (selective) retinoic acid receptor beta (RARβ) (e.g., RARβ2) agonist. The present invention also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such crystalline forms, and the use of such crystalline forms and compositions, both in vitro and in vivo, to (selectively) activate RARβ (e.g., RARβ2), to cause or promote neurite development, neurite outgrowth, and/or neurite regeneration, and in the treatment of diseases and conditions that are mediated by RARβ(e.g., RARβ2), that are ameliorated by the activation of RARβ (e.g., RARβ2), etc., including, e.g., neurological injuries such as spinal cord injuries.
本发明一般涉及治疗化合物领域,更具体地说,涉及 4-(5-(4,7-二甲基苯并呋喃-2-基)-1,2,4-恶二唑-3-基)苯甲酸的结晶形式(本文称为 "BHBA-001"),它是一种(选择性)维甲酸受体 beta(RARβ)(例如 RARβ2)激动剂。本发明还涉及包含这种结晶形式的药物组合物,以及在体外和体内使用这种结晶形式和组合物来(选择性地)激活 RARβ(如 RARβ2)、RARβ2),引起或促进神经元发育、神经元生长和/或神经元再生,以及治疗由 RARβ(如 RARβ2)介导的、通过激活 RARβ(如 RARβ2)而改善的疾病和病症等,包括神经损伤,如脊髓损伤。
