Solid-state Forms (solid-state + form)
Selected AbstractsIn situ measurement of solvent-mediated phase transformations during dissolution testingJOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES, Issue 12 2006Jaakko Aaltonen Abstract In this study, solvent-mediated phase transformations of theophylline (TP) and nitrofurantoin (NF) were measured in a channel flow intrinsic dissolution test system. The test set-up comprised simultaneous measurement of drug concentration in the dissolution medium (with UV-Vis spectrophotometry) and measurement of the solid-state form of the dissolving solid (in situ with Raman spectroscopy). The solid phase transformations were also investigated off-line with scanning electron microscopy. TP anhydrate underwent a transformation to TP monohydrate, and NF anhydrate (form ,) to NF monohydrate (form II). Transformation of TP anhydrate to TP monohydrate resulted in a clear decrease in the dissolution rate, while the transformation of NF anhydrate (form ,) to NF monohydrate (form II) could not be linked as clearly to changes in the dissolution rate. The transformation of TP was an order of magnitude faster than that of NF. The presence of a water absorbing excipient, microcrystalline cellulose, was found to delay the onset of the transformation of TP anhydrate. Combining the measurement of drug concentration in the dissolution medium with the solid phase measurement offers a deeper understanding of the solvent-mediated phase transformation phenomena during dissolution. © 2006 Wiley-Liss, Inc. and the American Pharmacists Association J Pharm Sci 95:2730,2737, 2006 [source] Establishing quantitative in-line analysis of multiple solid-state transformations during dehydrationJOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES, Issue 11 2008Karin Kogermann Abstract The aim of the study was to conduct quantitative solid phase analysis of piroxicam (PRX) and carbamazepine (CBZ) during isothermal dehydration in situ, and additionally exploit the constructed quantitative models to analyze the solid-state forms in-line during fluidized bed drying. Vibrational spectroscopy (near-infrared (NIR), Raman) was employed for monitoring the dehydration and the quantitative model was based on partial least squares (PLS) regression. PLS quantification was confirmed experimentally using isothermal thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray powder diffractometry (XRPD). To appraise the quality of quantitative models several model parameters were evaluated. The hot-stage spectroscopy quantification results were found to be in reasonable agreement with TGA and XRPD results. Quantification of PRX forms showed complementary results with both spectroscopic techniques. The solid-state forms observed during CBZ dihydrate dehydration were quantified with Raman spectroscopy, but NIR spectroscopy failed to differentiate between the anhydrous solid-state forms of CBZ. In addition to in situ dehydration quantification, Raman spectroscopy in combination with PLS regression enabled in-line analysis of the solid-state transformations of CBZ during dehydration in a fluidized bed dryer. © 2008 Wiley-Liss, Inc. and the American Pharmacists Association J Pharm Sci 97:4983,4999, 2008 [source] Qualitative in situ analysis of multiple solid-state forms using spectroscopy and partial least squares discriminant modelingJOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES, Issue 7 2007Karin Kogermann Abstract This study used in situ spectroscopy to reveal the multiple solid-state forms that appear during isothermal dehydration. Hydrate forms of piroxicam and carbamazepine (CBZ) were investigated on hot-stage at different temperatures using near-infrared (NIR) and Raman spectroscopy combined with multivariate modeling. Variable temperature X-ray powder diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and Karl Fisher titrimetry were used as reference methods. Partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) was performed to qualitatively evaluate the phase transition. It was shown that the constructed PLS-DA models, where spectral differences were directly correlated to solid-state modifications, enabled differentiation between the multiple forms. Qualitative analysis revealed that during dehydration, hydrates, such as CBZ dihydrate, may go through several solid-state forms, which must be considered in quantitative model construction. This study demonstrates that in situ analysis can be used to monitor the dehydration and reveal associated solid-state forms prior to quantification. The utility of the complementary spectroscopic techniques, NIR and Raman, have been shown. © 2007 Wiley-Liss, Inc. and the American Pharmacists Association J Pharm Sci 96: 1802,1820, 2007 [source] Analysis of solid-state transformations of pharmaceutical compounds using vibrational spectroscopyJOURNAL OF PHARMACY AND PHARMACOLOGY: AN INTERNATI ONAL JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCE, Issue 8 2009Andrea Heinz Abstract Objectives Solid-state transformations may occur during any stage of pharmaceutical processing and upon storage of a solid dosage form. Early detection and quantification of these transformations during the manufacture of solid dosage forms is important since the physical form of an active pharmaceutical ingredient can significantly influence its processing behaviour, including powder flow and compressibility, and biopharmaceutical properties such as solubility, dissolution rate and bioavailability. Key findings Vibrational spectroscopic techniques such as infrared, near-infrared, Raman and, most recently, terahertz pulsed spectroscopy have become popular for solidstate analysis since they are fast and non-destructive and allow solid-state changes to be probed at the molecular level. In particular, Raman and near-infrared spectroscopy, which require no sample preparation, are now commonly used coupled to fibreoptic probes and are able to characterise solid-state conversions in-line. Traditionally, uni- or bivariate approaches have been used to analyse spectroscopic data sets; however, recently the simultaneous detection of several solid-state forms has been increasingly performed using multivariate approaches where even overlapping spectral bands can be analysed. Summary This review discusses the applications of different vibrational spectroscopic techniques to detect and monitor solid-state transformations possible for crystalline polymorphs, hydrates and amorphous forms of pharmaceutical compounds. In this context, the theoretical basis of solid-state transformations and vibrational spectroscopy and common experimental approaches are described, including recent methods of data analysis.

The enantiomeric resolution of a series of racemic di-spiro cyclotriphosphazene derivatives, N3P3X2[O(CH2)3NH]2 (X = Cl, Ph, SPh, NHPh, OPh) [(1),(5), respectively] was carried out by reversed-phase chiral HPLC on a commercially available Pirkle-type chiral stationary phase (R,R)-Whelk-01 using 85:15 (v/v) hexane,thf as the mobile phase. The absolute configurations of the resulting enantiomers of compounds (3) (X = SPh) and (5) (X = OPh) were determined unambiguously by X-ray crystallography. For both (3) and (5) it was found that the SS enantiomer eluted before the RR enantiomer, indicating a convenient method to determine the absolute configurations of enantiomers of this series of cyclophosphazene derivatives and providing the first set of enantiomeric reference compounds for cyclophosphazene derivatives. These structures demonstrate an interesting anomaly in that the pair of enantiomers of (3) crystallize in enantiomorphically paired space groups whilst, under the same conditions, the solid-state forms of the enantiomers of (5) form structures in Sohncke space groups that are not enantiomorphous.
