The invention concerns certain crystalline solvates and hydrates of the
compound of the Formula (I) which is known inter alia by way of the code
number ZD1839. In particular, the invention concerns a first solvate that
occurs in the presence of methanol which is designated as Form 2 ZD1839
MeOH solvate, a second solvate that occurs in the presence of dimethyl
sulphoxide which is designated as Form 3 ZD1839 DMSO solvate and a
trihydrate that occurs in the presence of water which is designated Form
5 ZD1839 trihydrate. The invention further concerns processes for the
preparation of these solvates and the trihydrate and for their conversion
back to the compound ZD1839, pharmaceutical compositions containing them
and their use in the manufacture of medicaments for use the production of
an anti-proliferative effect in a warm-blooded animal such as man.
