Novel crystalline forms of 3-isopropyl-6-[4-(2,5-difluoro-phenyl)-oxazol-5-yl]-[1,2,4]triazolo-[4,3-A]pyridine

The present invention relates to novel crystalline forms of 3-isopropyl-6-[4-(2,5-difluoro-phenyl)-oxazol-5-yl]-[1,2,4]triazolo-[4,3-a]pyridine to pharmaceutical compositions containing such crystal forms and to methods of treatment. 3-Isopropyl-6-[4-(2,5-difluoro-phenyl)-oxazol-5-yl]-[1,2,4]triazolo-[4,3-a]pyridine is a potent inhibitor of MAP kinases, preferably p38 kinase (MAPK14/CSBP/RK kinase). 3-Isopropyl-6-[4-(2,5-difluoro-phenyl)-oxazol-5-yl]-[1,2,4]triazolo-[4,3-a]pyridine is useful in the treatment of inflammation, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, reperfusion or ischemia in stroke or heart attack, autoimmune diseases and other disorders.
