New polymorphs of 5-amino or substituted amino 1, 2, 3-triazole and substituted derivatives thereof, of orotates of the carboxyamidotriazoles, of formulations of the triazoles and orotic acid in the ratio of 1:1 to 1:4 (base:acid) and of safer processes of the preparation of the same are disclosed. The compounds are useful in the control and treatment of diseases including, but not limited to solid cancers, macular degeneration, retinopathy, chronic myeloid leukemia, AIDS and diseases which rely on aberrant signal transduction. The improved processes to prepare the orotate formulations use stable, efficient and safer starting azide intermediate materials in the synthesis of new polymorphs of carboxyamidotriazole.
