Patent ID: 7834187

Claim:
A crystalline variable hydrate of (S)-(3-pyridinecarboxamide, 6-[4-[2-[[3-(9H-carbazol-4-yloxy)-2-hydroxypropyl]amino]-2-methylpropyl]phenoxy])-hemi-succinate salt wherein the water content of said hydrate by weight is between 6 and 11% when measured at 22±5° C. and between 10-80% relative humidity; ethanol is present at ≦1% weight; and having an X-ray diffraction pattern which comprises the following peaks: 7.6±0.1, 8.0±0.1, 8.8±0.1, 11.0±0.1, 13.1±0.1, 13.3±0.1, 13.8±0.1, 15.3±0.1 and 15.5±0.1° in 2θ; when the pattern is obtained at 20-25° C. and 25-30% relative humidity (RH) using a copper radiation source (CuKα; λ=1.54056 Å).
