In Situ Characterization of Waters of Hydration in a Variable-Hydrate Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient Using Cl-35 Solid-State NMR and X-ray Diffraction
Contributor(s):: Hirsh, DA, Holmes, STChakravarty, P, Peach, AA, DiPasquale, AG, Nagapudi, K, Schurko, RW
Variable-hydrate active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are known to form thermodynamically and kinetically stabilized solid phases over a continuous range of nonstoichiometric hydration levels. Some of these forms can be problematic in the production of solid dosage forms (e.g., tablets and...
Continuous Crystallization of Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) Form II: Selective Access to a Metastable Solid Form
Contributor(s):: Agnew, LR, McGlone, TWheatcroft, HP, Robertson, A, Parsons, AR, Wilson, CC
The first continuous crystallization of a metastable polymorphic form of an active pharmaceutical ingredient is reported. Paracetamol form II, which displays enhanced solubility and compressibility in comparison to the stable form I, has been successfully crystallized in two continuous platforms:...
