Abstract
Co-crystals, which are defined as "solids that are crystalline materials composed of two or more molecules in the same crystal lattice" have recently been the focus of increased interest in the pharmaceutical industry since co-crystallization can improve unfavorable physicochemical properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Thus, the quest for new co-crystal screening methods has become an issue of importance. The aim of this work was, therefore, to show to what extent expanded methodology based on FTIR and Raman spectroscopy supported by the DSC method can be used as a reliable tool to screen co-crystallization. Because co-crystals of benzodiazepines had not yet been obtained, a set of 72 binary mixtures composed of eight 1,4-benzodiazepine derivatives and nine coformers were used as model substances. Potential co-crystals were prepared in solid-state by liquid-assisted grinding procedure. The characteristic FTIR and Raman bands which reflect hydrogen bond formation between benzodiazepine and coformer were used as proof of co-crystal creation. DSC was used as a supporting tool to reflect the phase transitions which occur during co-crystallization. As a result of the study, four potential co-crystals can be selected: lorazepam with nicotinamide, chlordiazepoxide with p-aminobenzoic and saccharin, and estazolam with fumaric acid. The detailed spectral and thermal characteristics of these systems are presented in this work. Thus, the proposed methodology of co-crystal screening based on FTIR and Raman data supported by the DSC examination of phase transitions facilitates the screening and detection of benzodiazepine co-crystal prepared by short time components ground with a slight additional volume of solvent.

Abstract
The crystal structures of three new solvates of olanzapine [systematic name: 2-methyl-4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-10H-thieno[2,3-b][1,5]benzodiazepine], namely olanzapine acetic acid monosolvate, C17H20N4S·C2H4O2, (I), olanzapine propan-2-ol hemisolvate monohydrate, C17H20N4S·0.5C3H8O·H2O, (II), and olanzapine propan-2-one hemisolvate monohydrate, C17H20N4S·0.5C3H6O·H2O, (III), are presented and compared with other known olanzapine forms. There is a fairly close resemblance of the molecular conformation for all studied analogues. The crystal structures are built up through olanzapine dimers, which are characterized via C-H...π interactions between the aliphatic fragment (1-methylpiperazin-4-yl) and the aromatic fragment (benzene system). All solvent (guest) molecules participate in hydrogen-bonding networks. The crystal packing is sustained via intermolecular N(host)-H···O(guest), O(guest)-H···N(host), O(guest)-H···O(guest) and C(host)-H···O(guest) hydrogen bonds. It should be noted that the solvent propan-2-ol in (II) and propan-2-one in (III) show orientational disorder. The propan-2-ol molecule lies close to a twofold axis, while the propan-2-one molecule resides strictly on a twofold axis through the carbonyl C atom. In both cases, the water molecules present positional disorder of the H atoms.

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
The transformation kinetics of mefenamic acid form II to form I in three kinds of solvents and under high humidity conditions were extensively investigated. Form II crystals were suspended in water, 50% ethanol and ethanol at 28, 33 and 37 degrees C, or stored at 50, 60 and 70 degrees C at 97% RH. Form II transformed to form I under all storage conditions and the rate of transformation depended on the kind of solvent. The transformation followed the three-dimensional nuclei growth mechanism, depending on temperature. The nuclei formation and growth processes were significantly accelerated in ethanol compared with water. The addition of seed crystals of the stable form I shortened the both nuclei formation and growth processes and therefore the transformation was accelerated.

Abstract
This review article describes the applications of NMR to the study of polymorphs and related forms (solvates) of organic (especially pharmaceutical) compounds, for which it is of increasing academic and practical importance. The nature of the systems covered is briefly introduced, as are the techniques constituting solid-state NMR. The methodologies involved are then reviewed under a number of different headings, ranging from spectral editing through relaxation times to shielding tensors and NMR crystallography. In each case the relevant applications are described. Whilst most studies concentrate on structural matters, motional effects are not neglected. A special section discusses studies of solvates (especially hydrates), and another reviews quantitative 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
Two of the three conformational polymorphs of dimethyl-3,6-dichloro-2,5-dihydroxyterephthalate are studied by solid-state NMR techniques. The structural differences between the polymorphs have previously been studied by X-ray. In these two polymorphs named white and yellow due to their color, the major structural difference is the torsional angle between the ester group and the aromatic ring. The yellow form has a dihedral angle of 4 degrees between the plane of the aromatic ring and the plane of the ester group, while the white form has two different molecules per unit cell with dihedral angles of 70 degrees and 85 degrees. This change greatly affects the conjugation in the pi-electronic system. In addition, there are differences in the hydrogen-bonding patterns, with the white form having intermolecular hydrogen bonds and the yellow form having intramolecular hydrogen bonds. In this work, the carbon isotropic chemical shift values and the chlorine electric field gradient (EFG) tensor information are extracted from the (13)C MAS spectra, and the principal values of the chemical shift tensors of the carbons are obtained from 2D FIREMAT experiments. Quantum chemical calculations of the chemical shift tensor data as well as the EFG tensor are performed at the HF and DFT levels of theory on individual molecules and on stacks of three molecules to account for the important intermolecular interactions in the white form. The differences between the spectral data on the two polymorphs are discussed in terms of the known electronic and structural differences.

Abstract
It is well recognized that physicochemical properties of drugs are affected by the type of polymorphic crystalline form of drugs. Clarithromycin is known to exist in at least three polymorphic crystalline forms. Since conventional means to obtain the most thermodynamically stable form (Form II) for the antibiotics is known to be associated with a low purity of the stable form, we developed a novel method to improve the purity of the crystalline form by a modification of the preparation process. The new method involved a simple recrystallization of clarithromycin in solvents having 5-12 carbon atoms (e.g., hexane and heptane) or ethers with 4-10 carbon atoms (e.g., isopropyl ether) and, thus, less likely to be associated with the problem in purity of resulting crystal. Differential scanning calorimetry and powder X-ray diffraction were used to compare the crystalline form of the resultant powder with Form II crystal prepared by the conventional method. The crystal prepared by the new method was identical to Form II crystal of the conventional method as evidenced by the lack of the exothermic peak near 110 degrees C in differential calorimetry scan, indicating that Form II crystal could be readily prepared by the new process. Therefore, these data indicated that the improvement in the purity of the Form II crystal for clarithromycin as well as a significant cost reduction is likely by the novel method.
