Abstract
The significance of thermodynamic solubility in biopharmaceutical compound or drug characterization as well as the importance of having methods that accurately establish it have been extensively addressed. Nonetheless, its precise determination continues to remain a challenging task to accomplish. Even more so when the number of compounds to evaluate is high and the available amount of each compound is low, both of which are inevitable for the compound characterization during the drug development process. Except for the shake-flask method which is still considered as the 'gold standard' in obtaining thermodynamic data, it is currently difficult to say that another satisfactory model which is routinely used to determine thermodynamic solubility is being applied. Therefore, this review summarizes the various experimental approaches which are based on the classical shake flask method but have yet attempted to speed up the experimental process of obtaining such data more conveniently. The most important experimental features of these approaches are provided to the reader. Some advantages and disadvantages associated with each approach are also highlighted, consequently offering a resource to those looking for the most appropriate of the approaches that have already fared well at determining the biopharmaceutically relevant drug solubility.

Abstract
Cocrystals are homogenous (single-phase) crystalline structures composed by two or more components in a definite stoichiometric ratio bonded together by noncovalent bonds. Pharmaceutical industry has been showing interest in cocrystals due to their ability to improve active pharmaceutical ingredients (API's) properties, such as solubility, dissolution, bioavailability, stability and processability. The necessity for high-throughput screening methods and methods capable of producing cocrystals in an industrial scale still hinders the use of cocrystals by the pharmaceutical industry. The aim of this review is to present an extensive overview of the cocrystallization methods, focusing in the specificities of each technique, its advantages and disadvantages. The review is divided into solvent-based and solvent-free methods. The most appropriate methods to the different stages of cocrystals manufacture, from the screening phase to industrial production are identified. The use of continuous and scalable methods in cocrystal production as well as the implementation of quality-by-design and process analytical technology concepts are also addressed.

Abstract
Raman spectroscopy is widely used for quantitative pharmaceutical analysis, but a common obstacle to its use is sample fluorescence masking the Raman signal. Time-gating provides an instrument-based method for rejecting fluorescence through temporal resolution of the spectral signal and allows Raman spectra of fluorescent materials to be obtained. An additional practical advantage is that analysis is possible in ambient lighting. This study assesses the efficacy of time-gated Raman spectroscopy for the quantitative measurement of fluorescent pharmaceuticals. Time-gated Raman spectroscopy with a 128 × (2) × 4 CMOS SPAD detector was applied for quantitative analysis of ternary mixtures of solid-state forms of the model drug, piroxicam (PRX). Partial least-squares (PLS) regression allowed quantification, with Raman-active time domain selection (based on visual inspection) improving performance. Model performance was further improved by using kernel-based regularized least-squares (RLS) regression with greedy feature selection in which the data use in both the Raman shift and time dimensions was statistically optimized. Overall, time-gated Raman spectroscopy, especially with optimized data analysis in both the spectral and time dimensions, shows potential for sensitive and relatively routine quantitative analysis of photoluminescent pharmaceuticals during drug development and manufacturing.

Abstract
A few pyrazinamide (Pyz) cocrystals involving hydroxybenzoic/cinnamic acid derivatives [2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (24DHBA); 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid (26DHBA); 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (35DHBA) and nutraceutical molecule ferulic acid (FRA)] and the first example of a molecular salt with p-toluenesulfonic acid (pTSA) have been prepared and characterized using various solid-state techniques. A high-temperature cocrystal polymorph of Pyz·FRA has been characterized from the endothermic peaks observed using differential scanning calorimetry. The presence of substituent groups carrying hydrogen bond donors or acceptors and their influence on supramolecular synthon formation has been investigated using a Cambridge Structural Database search. Equilibrium solubility of all the binary complexes of Pyz follows the order of their coformer solubility, i.e. Pyz+·pTSA− > Pyz·35DHBA > Pyz > Pyz·26DHBA > Pyz·24DHBA > Pyz·FRA. A twofold enhancement in solubility of Pyz+·pTSA− molecular salt compared with the parent drug suggests a potential drug formulation for the treatment of tuberculosis.

Abstract
AbstractWe investigate the physicochemical characteristics of celecoxib (CEL) entrapped within particles of an oxidized porous silicon matrix (pSiox); determine the oral dose response of CEL compared to pure drug and innovator formulation; develop in vivo-in vitro correlation (IVIVC). CEL was loaded into a pSiox matrix by solvent partitioning, with the physical state of the CEL characterized by FTIR, DSC, TGA and XRD, and correlated with in vitro dissolution behavior. Single dose pharmacokinetic parameters of orally dosed CEL were determined in fasted rats for aqueous suspensions of pure CEL, Celebrexr and CEL-pSiox microparticles. Physicochemical testing of CEL-pSiox formulation confirmed the entrapment of CEL within porous nanostructure in an amorphous or non-crystalline form. CEL-pSiox demonstrated superior pharmacokinetics compared with CEL particles or Celebrexr, i.e. increased absolute bioavailability (96.2% vs. 65.2% vs. 88.1%), increased C

Abstract
Vapor-induced transformations of docetaxel anhydrous (form D(A)) under ambient conditions have been studied using methanol, ethanol, and water as the solvent media. The online vapor-induced transformations were monitored by powder X-ray diffractometry. New solid forms (solvates/hydrates/anhydrous) of docetaxel anhydrous were obtained in stoichiometric ratios which were characterized completely using powder X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimeter, thermogravimetric analysis, and spectroscopic ((13)C solid-state nuclear magnetic spectroscopy, solution (1)H NMR, and Fourier transform infrared) techniques. The new forms namely methanol solvate (D(M)), ethanol solvate (D(E)), monohydrate (D(MH)), trihydrate (D(TH)), and anhydrous (D(AN-I) and D(AN-II)) were identified through structural analysis.

Abstract
The study is aimed at exploring the utility of thermoanalytical methods in the solid-state characterization of various crystalline forms of nevirapine. The different forms obtained by recrystallization of nevirapine from various solvents were identified using differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The appearance of desolvation peak accompanied by weight loss in TGA indicated the formation of solvates: hemi-ethanolate (Form I), hemi-acetonitrilate (Form II), hemi-chloroformate (Form III), hemi-THF solvate (Form IV), mixed hemi-ethanolate hemi-hydrate (Form V), and hemi-toluenate (Form VI). The higher desolvation temperatures of all the solvates except toluenate than their respective boiling point indicate tighter binding of solvent. Emphasis has been laid on the determination of heat capacity and heat of solution utilizing microreaction calorimeter to further distinguish the various forms. The enthalpy of solution (ΔH(sol)), an indirect measure of the lattice energy of a solid, was well correlated with the crystallinity of all the solid forms obtained. The magnitude of ΔH(sol) was found to be -14.14 kJ/mol for Form I and -2.83 kJ/mol for Form V in phosphate buffer of pH 2, exhibiting maximum ease of molecular release from the lattice in Form I. The heat capacity for solvation (ΔC(p)) was found to be positive, providing information about the state of solvent molecules in the host lattice. The solubility and dissolution rate of the forms were also found to be in agreement with their enthalpy of solution. Form (I), being the most exothermic, was found to be the most soluble of all the forms.

Abstract
Measurement of drug solubility is one of the key elements of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) characterization during the drug discovery and development process. This report is a critical review of experimental methods reported in the literature for the measurement of aqueous solubility of amorphous, partially crystalline and crystalline organic compounds. A summary of high-throughput automated methods used in early drug discovery research is also provided in this report. This review summarizes the challenges that are encountered during solubility measurement and the complexities that are often overlooked. Even though there is an advantage in using the amorphous form of a drug due to its higher solubility, measurement of its solubility with useful accuracy is still a practical problem. Therefore, this review provides recommendations of preferred methods and precautions in using these methods to determine the aqueous solubility of amorphous and crystalline new molecular entities, with emphasis on the physico-chemical characterization of the solid state of the test substance.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
Identification and characterization of different forms of methotrexate were carried out by crystallization from different solvents. Five different forms of the drug were obtained. Appearance of a desolvation endotherm in the DSC accompanied by mass loss in TGA for forms I, II, IV and V showed these forms to be acetonitrile solvate hydrate (form I), trihydrate (forms II and IV) and dimethylformamide solvate (form V), respectively. However, the desolvation peak was absent in form III (obtained from methanol) indicating the absence of any solvent of crystallization. This form was found to be partially crystalline by its XRPD pattern. Solution calorimetry was further used to differentiate between the forms as they differ in lattice energy, resulting in different enthalpies of solution. The dissolution and solubility profiles were correlated with the enthalpy of solution and subsequently with crystallinity of all the forms; the least endothermic form (form III) had the highest dissolution rate.

Abstract
Thermal analysis of indomethacin alpha and gamma polymorphs presents a temperature transition at 429.2 and 435.8 K, respectively, although with X-ray diffraction or near infra-red spectroscopy phase transformations were not registered. DSC method for the indomethacin amorphous solid shows an endothermic event; however, the conformational analysis at higher temperature shows a rotational change which may explain such endothermic peak. By heating the gamma polymorph at 483 K (210 degrees C) for 30 min and then quenching into liquid nitrogen the amorphous solid was obtained. The alpha form shows the highest intrinsic dissolution rate, while the lowest rate was for the amorphous indomethacin. Theoretical calculations (ab initio, Hartree-Fock and density functional theory, DFT) indicate that the double interaction is responsible for the observed difference in solubility.

Recently described compound-sparing (but still accurate) approaches, suitable for application in preclinical development, and appropriate for the analysis of solubility of "problematic" molecules, are critically examined. A number of useful experimental methods are reviewed, including the miniaturized shake-flask microtitre plate, the micro solubility self-calibrating direct UV, potentiometric, and the micro dissolution methods. Several molecules were selected as case studies to illustrate important concepts, with re-analysis of literature data using recently established computational tools.

Abstract
Theophylline is known to undergo vapor phase induced hydrate-anhydrate pseudopolymorphic transformations, which can affect its bioavailability. In this work, the kinetics of the pseudopolymorphic transitions of theophylline crystals in different storage conditions is studied using a vibrational spectroscopic technique. While the hydration is a single-step process with a half-life time of ca. 5 h, the dehydration occurs through a two-step mechanism. In addition, the phase stability of hydrate-anhydrate systems in different relative humidity (RH) conditions was probed. The critical RH for anhydrous teophylline was found to be at ca. 79%, while the critical RH for dehydration is ca. 30%.

Abstract
The existence of different solid-state forms such as polymorphs, solvates, hydrates, and amorphous form in pharmaceutical drug substances and excipients, along with their downstream consequences in drug products and biological systems, is well documented. Out of these solid states, amorphous systems have attracted considerable attention of formulation scientists for their specific advantages, and their presence, either by accident or design is known to incorporate distinct properties in the drug product. Identification of different solid-state forms is crucial to anticipate changes in the performance of the material upon storage and/or handling. Quantitative analysis of physical state is imperative from the viewpoint of both the manufacturing and the regulatory control aimed at assuring safety and efficacy of drug products. Numerous analytical techniques have been reported for the quantification of amorphous/crystalline phase, and implicit in all quantitative options are issues of accuracy, precision, and suitability. These quantitative techniques mainly vary in the properties evaluated, thus yielding divergent values of crystallinity for a given sample. The present review provides a compilation of the theoretical and practical aspects of existing techniques, thereby facilitating the selection of an appropriate technique to accomplish various objectives of quantification of amorphous systems.

Abstract
The purpose of this work was to study the effects of crystal structure on the solid-state photoluminescence of the trihydrate phases of ampicillin and amoxicillin, and to contrast these spectra with analogous spectra obtained on the molecules dissolved in a solution phase. The polymorphic identity of the analytes was established using x-ray powder diffraction and Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy, and the solid-state luminescence spectra obtained under ambient conditions. It was found that the solid-state excitation and emission spectra of ampicillin trihydrate and amoxicillin trihydrate were dominated by energy transfer and exciton effects, which were manifested as decreases in the energy of the excitation and emission bands of the solid-state systems relative to those of the free molecule in solution. The photoluminescence data revealed that in spite of the known structural similarity of ampicillin trihydrate and amoxicillin trihydrate, the magnitude of the Davydov splitting, and the degree of band energy shifting differed between the 2 systems. This finding indicates that the small differences in crystal structure existing between the 2 compounds leads to measurable differences in the patterns of energy transfer.

Abstract
Terahertz pulsed spectroscopy (TPS) is a new technique that is capable of eliciting rich information when investigating pharmaceutical materials. In solids, it probes long-range crystalline lattice vibrations and low energy torsion and hydrogen bonding vibrations. These properties make TPS potentially an ideal tool to investigate crystallinity and polymorphism. In this study four drugs with different solid-state properties were analyzed using TPS and levels of polymorphism and crystallinity were quantified. Carbamazepine and enalapril maleate polymorphs, amorphous, and crystalline indomethacin, and thermotropic liquid crystalline and crystalline fenoprofen calcium mixtures were quantified using partial least-squares analysis. Root-mean-squared errors of cross validation as low as 0.349% and limits of detection as low as approximately 1% were obtained, demonstrating that TPS is an analytical technique of potential in quantifying solid-state properties of pharmaceutical compounds.

Abstract
PURPOSE The solid-state luminescence spectroscopy of organic molecules is strongly affected by the effects of excited state energy transfer, with the fluorescence of solids often differing significantly from the fluorescence of the molecule dissolved in a solution phase. Because the magnitude of these solid-state effects is determined by the crystallography of the system, solid-state fluorescence studies can be used to gain insight into the polymorphism of the system. To this end, the spectroscopic properties of four polymorphs of diflunisal have been obtained, and compared to the properties of the molecule in the solution phase. METHODS Fluorescence excitation and emission spectra were obtained on four polymorphic forms of diflunisal, and on the compound dissolved in water. RESULTS It was found that exciton effects dominate the excitation spectra of diflunisal in the four studied polymorphic forms. These phenomena lead to a decrease in the energy of the excitation bands relative to that observed for the free molecule in fluid solution, and in a splitting of the excitation peak into two Davydov components. CONCLUSIONS The trends in the excitation and emission spectra led to the grouping of diflunisal Forms I, II, and III into one category, and diflunisal Form IV into a separate category. Because other work has established that Form IV is characterized by the highest crystal density and consequent degree of intermolecular interaction, the magnitude of the exciton coupling can be used to estimate the degree of face-to-face overlap of the salicylate-type fluorophores.

Abstract
Five polymorphic forms of tranilast were characterized by thermal, diffractometric, and spectroscopic techniques. The crystal structures of the most stable anhydrous form (Form I), a chloroform solvate, and a dichloromethane solvate were determined from single-crystal X-ray analysis. Two additional anhydrous forms of tranilast (Forms II and III) were also studied, but were not amenable to SCXRD. All five forms were also analyzed using solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared, and Fourier transform-Raman spectroscopy, and thermal methods. From the trends observed in the crystal structures and the spectral data, some conclusions can be made about hydrogen bonding, molecular conformation, and crystal packing differences in the polymorphs and solvates. Form II was found to be a spectroscopically distinctive polymorph that is probably missing an important intramolecular hydrogen bond coupled with a conformational change. In contrast, Form III was found to be more similar to the crystallographically characterized forms, and is more likely a packing and hydrogen-bonding polymorph with a weakened intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interaction relative to the other forms. From a pharmaceutical development perspective, it is shown that although the anhydrous forms of tranilast have similar thermal properties, they can be reliably distinguished by spectroscopic methods.

Abstract
This study deals with the generation and characterization of various solid-state forms of celecoxib, a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor. The drug was subjected to polymorphic screen using different solvents to explore the possibility of existence of different solid forms. N,N-Dimethyl acetamide (DMA) and N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) yielded solvates in 1:1 stoichiometric ratio. Quench cooling of the melt resulted in amorphous form of the drug. All these solid-state forms were characterized by thermoanalytical (DSC, TGA, HSM), crystallographic (XRD), microscopic (polarized, SEM), spectroscopic (FTIR), and elemental analysis techniques. Solubility and van't Hoff studies were carried out for their thermodynamic interpretation. Influence of morphology of different solid-state forms on flow behavior was also investigated. Molecular modeling studies were used to elucidate the interaction between solute and solvent molecules in the solvate.

Abstract
In this study, we report the use of attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FT-IR) for the identification and quantitation of two polymorphs of Aprepitant, a substance P antagonist for chemotherapy-induced emesis. Mixtures of the polymorph pair were prepared by weight and ATR-FT-IR spectra of the powdered samples were obtained over the wavelength range of 700-1500 cm(-1). Significant spectral differences between the two polymorphs at 1140 cm(-1) show that ATR-FT-IR can provide definitive identification of the polymorphs. To investigate the feasibility of ATR-FT-IR for quantitation of polymorphic forms of Aprepitant, a calibration plot was constructed with known mixtures of the two polymorphs by plotting the peak ratio of the second derivative of absorbance spectra against the weight percent of form II in the polymorphic mixture. Using this novel approach, 3 wt % of one crystal form could be detected in mixtures of the two polymorphs. The accuracy of ATR-FT-IR in determining polymorph purity of the drug substance was tested by comparing the results with those obtained by X-ray powder diffractometry (XRPD). Indeed, polymorphic purity results obtained by ATR-FT-IR were found to be in good agreement with the predictions made by XRPD and compared favorably with actual values in the known mixtures. The present study clearly demonstrates the potential of ATR-FT-IR as a quick, easy, and inexpensive alternative to XRPD for the determination of polymorphic identity and purity of solid drug substances. The technique is ideally suited for polymorph analysis, because it is precise, accurate, and requires minimal sample preparation.

Abstract
E2101, a novel antispastic drug, was found to exist in at least two polymorphs that were confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). These two species are designated forms I and II. The physicochemical and thermodynamic properties of these polymorphs were characterized by variable temperature XRD, thermal analysis, hygroscopicity measurements, and dissolution studies. The transition temperature was also estimated from the solubilities determined at various temperatures. The E2101 polymorphs were anhydrous and adsorbed little moisture under high humidity conditions. The melting onsets and heats of fusion for form I were 148.1 +/- 0.2 degrees C and 38.2 +/- 1.0 kJ/mol, respectively, and for form II were 139.8 +/- 0.4 degrees C and 35.2 +/- 0.5 kJ/mol, respectively. The intrinsic dissolution rate of form II in JP 2 medium was 1.5-fold faster than that of form I, corresponding to the rank order of the aqueous solubility and the enthalpy of fusion. Accordingly, form I was thought to be thermodynamically more stable than form II and thus suitable for further development. According to the thermal analysis and variable temperature XRD results, the recrystallization of form I occurred at approximately 145 degrees C after form II melted, however, no crystal transition behavior was observed below the lower melting point. The DSC thermograms at various heating rates and van't Hoff plots from the solubility studies indicated that the polymorphic pair would be monotropic.

Abstract
The polymorphism of the CNS active compound Org 13011 was studied using different crystallisation methods (i.e. different solvents and cooling rates). The samples were analysed by Raman, solid state NMR, X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and thermal analysis. This led to the characterisation of two crystalline forms A and B. Further high temperature analysis using Raman, XRPD, solid state NMR and DSC revealed another two (high temperature) crystalline forms C and D. The transitions to the high temperature crystalline forms occur at temperatures of about 60 degrees C. This study shows that the application of high temperature experiments is useful and can lead to the discovery of new crystalline forms.

Abstract
Freeze-drying of mixed solutes is a preparative technique widely used in the pharmaceutical industry. The presence of an amorphous form or changes in the crystalline form can affect solid state stability. In this work, acetylsalicylic acid (AAS) was chosen as a model drug, and was mixed with mannitol, a commonly used bulking agent in formulation of tablets. Variations in the final freeze-dried crystalline forms were found after changing the ratios of the two co-solutes. Samples were analysed by powder X-ray diffractometry and differential scanning calorimetry. A major amorphous form and a minor crystalline delta-mannitol form were produced during the mannitol freeze-drying process. The crystal form of mannitol in the two-component system depended on the AAS:mannitol ratio. The AAS was mostly crystalline, regardless of the amount of mannitol present. A major delta-mannitol and a minor amorphous form were obtained when AAS was present in a high percentage (75% w/w). When AAS percentages of 50 and 25% (w/w) were present during the drying process, the mannitol was found in a highly crystalline form.

Abstract
Crystallization of 5-methyl-2-[(2-nitrophenyl)amino]-3-thiophenecarbonitrile (1), previously found to produce six conformational polymorphs from solution, on single-crystal pimelic acid (PA) substrates results in selective and oriented growth of the metastable "YN" (yellow needle) polymorph on the (101)(PA) faces of the substrate. Though the freshly cleaved substrate crystals expose (101)(PA) and (111)(PA) faces, which are both decorated with [101](PA) ledges that could serve as nucleation sites, crystal growth of YN occurs on only (101)(PA). Goniometry measurements performed with an atomic force microscope reveal that the (001)(YN) plane contacts (101)(PA) with a crystal orientation [100](YN)//[010](PA) and [010](YN)//[101](PA). A geometric lattice analysis using a newly developed program dubbed GRACE (geometric real-space analysis of crystal epitaxy) indicates that this interfacial configuration arises from optimal two-dimensional epitaxy and that among the six polymorphs of 1, only the YN polymorph, in the observed orientation, achieves reasonable epitaxial match to (101)(PA). The geometric analysis also reveals that none of the polymorphs, including YN, can achieve comparable epitaxial match with (111)(PA), consistent with the absence of nucleation on this crystal face. In contrast, sublimation of 1 on cleaved succinic acid (SA) substrates, which expose large (010)(SA) faces decorated with steps along [101](SA), affords growth of several polymorphs, each with multiple orientations, as well as oriented crystals of a new metastable polymorph on the (010)(SA) surfaces. The lack of polymorphic selectivity on (010)(SA) can be explained by the geometric lattice analysis, which reveals low-grade epitaxial matches between (010)(SA) and several polymorphs of 1 but no inherent selectivity toward a single polymorph. These observations demonstrate the sensitivity of crystal nucleation to substrate surface structure, the potential of crystalline substrates for selective nucleation and discovery of polymorphs, and the utility of geometric lattice modeling for screening of substrate libraries for controlling polymorphism.

Abstract
The polymorphic forms and amorphous form of TA-270 (4-hydroxy-1-methyl-3-octyloxy-7-sinapinoylamino-2(1H)-quinolinone), a newly developed antiallergenic compound, were characterized by powder X-ray diffractometry, thermal analysis, infrared spectroscopy and solid state 13C-NMR. The intrinsic dissolution rates of polymorphic forms were measured using the rotating disk method at 37 degrees C. The dissolution rates correlated well with the thermodynamic stability of each polymorphic form. These dissolution properties were clearly reflected in the oral bioavailability of TA-270 in rats. The transition behavior for each polymorph and for the amorphous form was studied under the high temperature and humidity conditions. The beta- and delta-forms were transformed into the alpha-form by heating. The amorphous form was also easily crystallized into alpha-form by heating, however it was relatively stable under humidified conditions. The internal molecular packing of each polymorph was estimated from IR and solid state NMR spectral analysis.

Abstract
Many drugs exist in the crystalline solid state due to reasons of stability and ease of handling during the various stages of drug development. Crystalline solids can exist in the form of polymorphs, solvates or hydrates. Phase transitions such as polymorph interconversion, desolvation of solvate, formation of hydrate and conversion of crystalline to amorphous form may occur during various pharmaceutical processes, which may alter the dissolution rate and transport characteristics of the drug. Hence it is desirable to choose the most suitable and stable form of the drug in the initial stages of drug development. The current focus of research in the solid-state area is to understand the origins of polymorphism at the molecular level, and to predict and prepare the most stable polymorph of a drug. The recent advances in computational tools allow the prediction of possible polymorphs of the drug from its molecular structure. Sensitive analytical methods are being developed to understand the nature of polymorphism and to characterize the various crystalline forms of a drug in its dosage form. The aim of this review is to emphasize the recent advances made in the area of prediction and characterization of polymorphs and solvates, to address the current challenges faced by pharmaceutical scientists and to anticipate future developments.

Abstract
Quantitative analysis of solid state composition is often used to ensure the safety and efficacy of drug substances or to establish and validate the control of the pharmaceutical production process. There are a number of common techniques that can be applied to quantify the phase composition and numerous different methods for each technique. Each quantitative option presents its own issues in ensuring accuracy and precision of the solid state method. The following article describes many of the common techniques that are used for quantitative phase analysis and many of the considerations that are necessary for the development of such methods.

Abstract
Polymorphs of a compound have solid crystalline phases with different internal crystal lattices; in pharmaceuticals, differences due to polymorphism and pseudopolymorphism can affect bioavailability and effective clinical use. The aim of this work was to obtain the different polymorphic modifications of the anticonvulsant drug, carbamazepine, and to characterise them by means of typical structure-sensitive analytical techniques, such as FT-IR spectroscopy, XRPD and DSC. Further investigations were also performed by Hot Stage FT-IR thermomicroscopy, which permitted the visible and spectroscopic characterisation of the polymorphic forms during heating. Our results confirm the existence of three different polymorphic forms for anhydrous carbamazepine: Form III, the commercial one, Form I, obtained by heating Form III and Form II, crystallised from ethanolic solution. Substantial differences were detected among the polymorphs with regard to solid-state properties. Moreover, Hot Stage FT-IR thermomicroscopy proved its analytical potential to characterise the drug's polymorphism.

Abstract
The role of single crystal diffraction in the quantitative determination of polymorphism is demonstrated by the examination of three compounds. Two polymorphs were found for each of the compounds bis(2-nitrophenyl) trisulphide (1), 2-amino-5-nitrobenzophenone (2) and bis(2-nitrophenyl) sulphide (3). Only in one polymorph of (1) does molecular symmetry correspond with crystallographic symmetry. In (2) the polymorphs arise in the same crystal class and in the same crystallographic space group whereas in (3) the two polymorphs exist in different crystal classes and hence in different space groups. Crystallographic space group transformation is also discussed.

Abstract
Picotamide is an antiplatelet agent given by mouth as monohydrate (PICOW) (Plactidil) in thrombo-embolic disorders. This study deals with physical characterization of PICOW recrystallized from various solvents and the respective dehydration products using X-ray powder diffractometry (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (IR), and thermal analytical techniques (differential scanning calorimetry, DSC; thermogravimetric analysis, TGA; simultaneous TGA/DSC; hot stage microscopy, HSM). Monophasic and biphasic DSC and TGA profiles of water loss were recorded under open conditions for PICOW samples which showed the same monoclinic crystal structure. Biphasic profiles became monophasic for gently ground samples which were, however, structurally identical to the intact samples. Morphological factors, the various degree of "perfection" of the PICOW crystal lattice, and/or cluster aggregation of PICOW crystals were assumed to be responsible for the differing dehydration patterns. Polymorphism in anhydrous picotamide, i.e., nucleation of crystal forms A, mp 135.5 +/- 0.4 degrees C, and B, mp 152.9 +/- 0.3 degrees C after dehydration of PICOW, was detected by DSC and HSM. The dehydration product of PICOW under isothermal conditions (115 degrees C, 20 mmHg), PICOA, was mainly composed of the lower melting polymorph A (fusion enthalpy 74.4 +/- 2.2 J g(-1)), which gradually reverted to the starting hydrate by storing in an ambient atmosphere. Dissolution tests of PICOW and PICOA in water at 37 degrees C as both powders and compressed disks reflected to some extent the higher solubility of the metastable form (by 24% at 37 degrees C) in terms of both higher dissolution efficiency and percent of active ingredient dissolved (by 28%) and intrinsic dissolution rate (by 32%).

Abstract
PURPOSE (1) To characterise the different phases of trehalose using FT-Raman spectroscopy. (2) To monitor the changes in the structure of trehalose dihydrate on isothermal heating at 80 degrees C. METHODS Different phases of trehalose were prepared and FT-Raman spectra obtained. Trehalose dihydrate was sieved to < 45 microns and > 425 microns particle size fractions and FT-Raman spectra were obtained at various time intervals during heating at 80 degrees C. RESULTS During heating at this temperature, the spectra of a < 45 microns particle size fraction showed a loss of peak resolution with time and after 210 minutes resembled the spectrum of amorphous trehalose prepared by lyophilisation, indicating that the material was rendered amorphous by heating. In contrast, spectra obtained from a > 425 micron particle size fraction altered with time and became characteristic of the crystalline anhydrate. The approximate kinetics of this transformation to the anhydrate were monitored by analysis of peak intensity ratios with time. A two state rearrangement was indicated; some functional groups appeared to manoeuvre into the spatial arrangement found in the anhydrate initially before the rest of the ring structure relaxed into this conformation. This may be due to some parts of the molecule being immediately affected by the loss of the water molecules on dehydration prior to the subsequent reorientation of the entire molecule into the anhydrate crystal lattice. CONCLUSIONS The < 45 micron particle size fraction becomes disordered on dehydration induced by heating at 80 degrees C whilst the > 425 micron particle size fraction crystallises to the anhydrate under the same conditions.
