Structure of Amorphous Materials

Pharmaceutical materials can exist in a crystalline or amorphous state. Figure 1 illustrates the crystalline state as a perfectly ordered solid with molecules (circles) packed in an orderly array.  Figure 1 also illustrates an amorphous material as a disordered material with only short-range order.  Crystalline materials give an X-ray diffraction pattern because Bragg planes Read more

Late Appearing Polymorphs: Ritonavir

Since the ritonavir crisis in 1998, when a lifesaving HIV protease inhibitor had to be withdrawn from the market for almost a year due to a sudden and unpredictable appearance of a new less soluble polymorph, ritonavir has been of interest to solid state chemists, crystallographers, and drug development scientists.[1-4] After the appearance of Form Read more

Late Appearing Polymorphs: Atorvastatin

In the early 1990’s SSCI, Inc. began working with Parke-Davis Warner-Lambert by providing X-ray diffraction measurements on samples manufactured at its Holland, Michigan manufacturing facility. One of the compounds under investigation was atorvastatin calcium. Atorvastatin had been synthesized by Bruce Roth at Warner-Lambert and patented in 1987 (US Patent 4,681,893). It was under development as Read more

The Structure of Liquid and Glassy Carbamazepine

To enhance the solubility of orally administered pharmaceuticals, liquid capsules or amorphous tablets are often preferred over crystalline drug products. However, little is known regarding the variation in bonding mechanisms between pharmaceutical molecules in their different disordered forms. In this study, liquid and melt-quenched glassy carbamazepine have been studied using high energy X-ray diffraction and Read more
