Abstract
The title compound, C10H13BrN2O3S, 1, contains a sulfonyl urea moiety, which possesses potential therapeutic functions (e.g., anti-diabetic and herbicidal). The geometry of 1 is similar to its closely related analogues, chlorpropamide and tolbutamide. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c, having one mol-ecule in its asymmetric unit. The crystal structure of 1, recorded at 296 K, shows inter-molecular N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O-type infinite hydrogen-bonded chains involving the sulfonyl urea moiety. Hirshfeld surface analysis and the two-dimensional fingerprint plots confirmed hydrogen bonding as the dominant feature in the crystal packing.

Abstract
Delivery of poorly water soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) by semi-crystalline solid dispersions prepared by spray congealing in form of microparticles (MPs) is an emerging method to increase their oral bioavailability. In this study, solid dispersions based on hydrophilic Gelucires® (Gelucire® 50/13 and Gelucire® 48/16 in different ratio) of three BCS class II model compounds (carbamazepine, CBZ, tolbutamide, TBM, and cinnarizine, CIN) having different physicochemical properties (logP, pKa, Tm) were produced by spray congealing process. The obtained MPs were investigated in terms of morphology, particles size, drug content, solid state properties, drug-carrier interactions, solubility, and dissolution performances. The solid-state characterization showed that the properties of the incorporated drug had a profound influence on the structure of the obtained solid dispersion: CBZ recrystallized in a different polymorphic form, TBM crystallinity was significantly reduced as a result of specific interactions with the carrier, while smaller crystals were observed in case of CIN. The in vitro tests suggested that the drug solubility was mainly influenced by carrier composition, while the drug dissolution behavior was affected by the API solid state in the MPs after the spray congealing process. Among the tested APIs, TBM-Gelucire dispersions showed the highest enhancement in drug dissolution as a result of the reduced drug crystallinity.

Abstract
This review considers advances in the understanding of active pharmaceutical ingredient polymorphism since around 2010 mainly from a structural view point, with a focus on twelve model drugs. New polymorphs of most of these drugs have been identified despite that the polymorphism of these old drugs has been extensively studied so far. In addition to the conventional modifications of preparative solvents, temperatures, and pressure, more strategic structure-based methods have successfully yielded new polymorphs. The development of analytical techniques, including X-ray analyses, spectroscopy, and microscopy has facilitated the identification of unknown crystal structures and also the discovery of new polymorphs. Computational simulations have played an important role in explaining and predicting the stability order of polymorphs. Furthermore, these make significant contributions to the design of new polymorphs by considering structure and energy. The new technologies and insights discussed in this review will contribute to the control of polymorphic forms, both during manufacture and in the drug formulation.

Abstract
In the present case study of tolazamide we illustrate how many seemingly contradictory results that have been obtained from experimental observations and theoretical calculations can finally start forming a consistent picture: a "puzzle put together". For many years, tolazamide was considered to have no polymorphs. This made this drug substance unique among the large family of sulfonylureas, which was known to be significantly more prone to polymorphism than many other organic compounds. The present work employs a broad and in-depth analysis that includes the use of optical microscopy, single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, IR and Raman spectroscopies, DSC, semiempirical PIXEL calculations and DFT of three polymorphs of tolazamide. This case study shows how the polymorphs of a molecular crystal can be overlooked even if discovered serendipitously on one of numerous crystallizations, and how very different molecular packings can be practically isoenergetic but still crystallize quite selectively and transform one into another irreversibly upon heating.

Abstract
In vitro-in vivo correlation (IVIVC) of intrinsic clearance in preclinical species of rat and dog was established using the hepatocyte relay method to support high-confidence prediction of human pharmacokinetics for low-clearance compounds. Good IVIVC of intrinsic clearance was observed for most of the compounds, with predicted values within 2-fold of the observed values. The exceptions involved transporter-mediated uptake clearance or metabolizing enzymes with extensive extrahepatic contribution. This is the first assay available to address low clearance challenges in preclinical species for IVIVC in drug discovery. It extends the utility of the hepatocyte relay method in addressing low clearance issues.

Abstract
Quantum chemical calculations have been performed using HF, B3LYP, and MP2 methods on the model sulfonylurea PhSO(2)NHC(=O)NHMe to understand the conformational and tautomeric preferences. The results indicate that a conformer with intramolecular hydrogen bond SLU-1 (hitherto not considered) is more stable than the conformer SLU-2 (which is generally considered) for sulfonylureas. The energy difference between these two conformers is about 4 kcal/mol in the gas phase; however, the energy differences between the two rotamers become negligible in the solvent phase. Iminol tautomeric forms of sulfonylurea (which were also not studied until now) are only about 5-6 kcal/mol higher in energy as per both gas-phase and solvent-phase analyses, indicating easy accessibility of tautomeric states in sulfonylureas. Quantum chemical analysis has also been carried out on the possible dimeric structures of these three important isomers of sulfonylurea, and correlations have been made to the known crystal structures of polymorphic states of sulfonylurea drugs.

Abstract
Rapid expansion of supercritical solutions (RESS) was applied to tolbutamide and barbital. The solubility in supercritical CO2 was determined to estimate the extraction efficiency roughly by a simple method and accurately by a direct spectrophotometric technique. The latter revealed that the solubility of tolbutamide was a function of applied pressure and temperature and was proportional to the pressure. No significant difference in solubility between polymorphic Forms I and II of tolbutamide was detected. Tolbutamide and barbital particles produced by the RESS were characterized by size distribution measurement, polymorph identification and morphological evaluation. Significant size reduction to micron or sub-micron level with narrow size distribution was achieved, while conventional mechanical grinding had only slight effect. The particle size was greatly affected by both extraction and expansion conditions. The lower the extraction temperature was, the smaller was the mean particle size. Higher extraction pressure resulted in smaller mean particle size when compared at the same extraction temperature. The mean particle size was reduced by lowering the spray nozzle temperature, by lowering the expansion chamber temperature, by increasing the CO2 amount per spray, and by increasing the exhaust gas flow rate. The RESS processing realized the polymorphic conversion as well. As for tolbutamide, three polymorphs (Forms I, II, and IV) out of four could be produced by changing the extraction conditions, and in the case of barbital, one polymorph (Form II) out of three was produced consistently.

Abstract
Supercritical fluid technique have been exploited in extraction, separation and crystallization processes. In the field of pharmaceutics, supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO(2)) has been used for the purpose of micronization, polymorphic control, and preparation of solid dispersion and complexes. Particle design of active pharmaceutical ingredients is important to make the solid dosage forms with suitable physicochemical properties. Control of the characteristic properties of particles, such as size, shape, crystal structure and morphology is required to optimize the formulation. For solubility enhancement of poorly water-soluble drugs, preparation of the solid dispersion or the complexation with proper drugs or excipients should be a promising approach. This review focuses on aspects of polymorphic control and complexation behavior of active pharmaceutical ingredients by scCO(2) processing.

Abstract
With the rapidly growing popularity and sophistication of inhalation therapy, there is an increasing demand for tailor-made inhalable drug particles capable of affording the most efficient delivery to the lungs and the most optimal therapeutic outcomes. To cope with this formulation demand, a wide variety of novel particle technologies have emerged over the past decade. The present review is intended to provide a critical account of the current goals and technologies of particle engineering for the development of pulmonary drug delivery systems. These technologies cover traditional micronization and powder blending, controlled solvent crystallization, spray drying, spray freeze drying, particle formation from liquid dispersion systems, supercritical fluid processing and particle coating. The merits and limitations of these technologies are discussed with reference to their applications to specific drug and/or excipient materials. The regulatory requirements applicable to particulate inhalation products are also reviewed briefly.

Abstract
Some authors recently hypothesized the existence of a new retinoic acid (RA) phase in addition to the two already known polymorphs. We investigated RA polymorphism and our results exclude the presence of new modifications and refine the properties of the known forms. By comparison of simulated and acquired X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD) it was possible to identify only the known monoclinic (I) and the triclinic (II) modifications; the same were also characterized by DSC, IR, and Raman spectroscopy. A solubility study associated to DSC allowed establishing an enantiotropic relationship between the two forms, with form II being less stable (DeltaGII/I=0.71 kJ/mol at 37 degrees C) below the transition temperature (136.6 degrees C; DeltaH=3.2 kJ/mol). The intrinsic dissolution rate (IDR) (I=61 microg/cm2xmin-1; II=125 microg/cm2xmin-1) confirmed this energetic relationship. The kinetics of solid transition I-->II was examined and its activation energy estimated (356 kJ/mol). The attempts to produce new phases allowed the development of methods to obtain the two polymorphs with high chemical and polymorphic purity. A validated DSC method is presented that enables detection of the presence of form I at a level of 1% (w/w) when in mixture with form II.

Abstract
PURPOSE The importance of induced crystal disorders like crystallite size, crystal defects, and amorphicity with respect to the dissolution rate of the drug has been discussed in many cases. Thus, the characterization of these properties is of great importance in the pharmaceutical formulation development, although the exact correlation between disorders and dissolution rate is still unclear. The aim of this study was to analyze pharmaceutical tablets with grazing incidence X-ray diffraction, which enables the depth profiling of the crystallographic properties of the tablets. To study and clarify the potential of grazing incidence diffraction in the analysis of pharmaceutical materials, the effect of the compaction process on the surface of tablets was examined. METHODS Carbamazepine, tolbutamide, and chlorpropamide tablets, compacted using different compression pressures, were studied using grazing incidence angle X-ray diffraction. The effects of compression on the crystallographic properties were investigated as a function of the distance from the tablet surface. RESULTS The surfaces of the tolbutamide and chlorpropamide tablets were disordered due to the compression. The manifestation of the disorder was deduced to be due to amorphicity, small crystallite size, and amount of crystal defects. The changes were mainly on the surface and diminished strongly as a function of the distance from the surface of the tablet. Moreover, the changes were dependent on the compression pressure used. The changes on the surface of the carbamazepine tablets were also due to the compression but these changes were not clearly dependent on the depth nor the compression pressure. The partial phase transition took place in the chlorpropamide tablets due to the compression. The magnitude of the transition was not highest on the surface because amorphization and texturization also took place on the tablet surface during the compression. CONCLUSIONS The present study proved that grazing incidence X-ray diffraction is a potential novel research tool to reveal crystallographic transformations taking place on the surfaces of the tablets induced, for example, by compression pressure.

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
The purpose of this study is the development of a quantification method to detect the amount of amorphous cyclosporine using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The mixing of different percentages of crystalline cyclosporine with amorphous cyclosporine was used to obtain a set of standards, composed of cyclosporine samples characterized by different percentages of amorphous cyclosporine. Using a wavelength range of 450-4,000 cm(-1), FTIR spectra were obtained from samples in potassium bromide pellets and then a partial least squares (PLS) model was exploited to correlate the features of the FTIR spectra with the percentage of amorphous cyclosporine in the samples. This model gave a standard error of estimate (SEE) of 0.3562, with an r value of 0.9971 and a standard error of prediction (SEP) of 0.4168, which derives from the cross validation function used to check the precision of the model. Statistical values reveal the applicability of the method to the quantitative determination of amorphous cyclosporine in crystalline cyclosporine samples.

Abstract
Polymorphism of drug substances has been the subject of intense investigation in the pharmaceutical field for over 40 years. Considering the multitude of reports on solubility or dissolution of polymorphs in the literature, an attempt is made in this study to answer the question: How big is the impact of polymorphism on solubility? A large number of literature reports on solubility or dissolution of polymorphs were reviewed and the data were analyzed for trends in solubility ratio of polymorphs. The general trend reveals that the ratio of polymorph solubility is typically less than 2, although occasionally higher ratios can be observed. A similar trend is also observed for anhydrate/hydrate solubility ratios, although anhydrate/hydrate solubility ratios appear to be more spread out and higher than the typical ratio for nonsolvated polymorphs. An attempt is also made in this commentary to estimate the ratio of solubilities of polymorphs from thermal data. The trend in estimated solubility ratio shows good agreement with the one observed with experimentally determined solubility values.

Abstract
The pharmaceutically useful cyclodextrins (CyDs) are classified into hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and ionic derivatives. Because of the multi-functional characteristics and bioadaptability, these CyDs are capable of alleviating the undesirable properties of drug molecules through the formation of inclusion complexes or the form of CyD/drug conjugates. This review outlines the current application of CyDs in design and evaluation of CyD-based drug formulation, focusing on their ability to enhance the drug absorption across biological barriers, the ability to control the rate and time profiles of drug release, and the ability to deliver a drug to a targeted site.

Abstract
Owing to the increasingly globalized nature of the cyclodextrin (CyD)-related science and technology, development of the CyD-based pharmaceutical formulation is rapidly progressing. The pharmaceutically useful CyDs are classified into hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and ionic derivatives. Because of the multi-functional characteristics and bioadaptability, these CyDs are capable of alleviating the undesirable properties of drug molecules through the formation of inclusion complexes or the form of CyD/drug conjugates. This review outlines the current application of CyDs in drug delivery and pharmaceutical formulation, focusing on the following evidences. 1) The hydrophilic CyDs enhance the rate and extent of bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. 2) The amorphous CyDs such as 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-CyD are useful for inhibition of polymorphic transition and crystallization rates of drugs during storage. 3) The delayed release formulation can be obtained by the use of enteric type CyDs such as O-carboxymethyl-O-ethyl-beta-CyD. 4) The hydrophobic CyDs are useful for modification of the release site and/or time profile of water-soluble drugs with prolonged therapeutic effects. 5) The branched CyDs are particularly effective in inhibiting the adsorption to hydrophobic surface of containers and aggregation of polypeptide and protein drugs. 6) The combined use of different CyDs and/or pharmaceutical additives can serve as more functional drug carriers, improving efficacy and reducing side effects. 7) The CyD/drug conjugates may provide a versatile means for the constructions of not only colonic delivery system but also site-specific drug release system, including gene delivery. On the basis of the above-mentioned knowledge, the advantages and limitations of CyDs in the design of advanced dosage forms will be discussed.

Abstract
The solid state forms of troglitazone drug substance and diastereomers were characterized using solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) spectroscopic method. The SSNMR spectroscopy could distinguish the hydrated and the non-hydrated RR/SS forms more clearly than powder X-ray diffractometry (PXRD). The SSNMR result supported that troglitazone drug substance consists of diastereomers as a simple physical mixture. SSNMR spectroscopy was also able to characterize the solid state forms of troglitazone in tablets while PXRD was unable to because of interference from the pharmaceutical additives. Troglitazone was proved to exist in amorphous form in tablets, and keep its solid state form amorphous against heat and humidity. SSNMR spectroscopy thus provides very important information for the development of the pharmaceutical formulation of troglitazone.

Abstract
FK888 (NK1 antagonist) is a candidate drug for migraine and selected as a model of amorphous drug. FK888 was micronized to develop as dry powder inhalers (DPIs) taking into consideration of its water insoluble property. The glass transition temperature (Tg) and fragility (m) were 90 degrees C and 118, respectively, and it was categorized as a fragile glass based on Angell's concept. FK888 was structurally relaxed by aging below Tg, then the effect of aging on their physical and aerosol properties were investigated. The investigation on the moisture sorption-desorption isotherms of FK888 indicated that aged FK888 adsorbed less amount of water than that of unaged FK888. This unique moisture sorption-desorption behavior of the aged sample is explained by structural relaxation accompanying decrease of free volume and/or increase of density. As for the dissolution rate of unaged and aged FK888, they showed the similar value, suggesting that there would be no difference in bioavailability. In relation to the stability, FK888 DPIs prepared by unaged and aged FK888 were stored at 70 degrees C, and the respirable fraction of FK888 DPIs was evaluated by using multistage cascade impactor (USP apparatus 3). As a result, the respirable fraction of FK888 DPIs prepared by unaged sample was significantly decreased compared to the aged sample, suggesting that agglomeration may occur in the unaged sample during the storage. This phenomenon was supported by that the unaged sample showed a significant decrease in the surface area compared to that of the aged sample when stored at various conditions.

Abstract
The possibility of obtaining tolbutamide polymorphs was investigated using the solvents acetonitrile and 1-octanol. Tolbutamide is an oral hypoglycemic agent that exists in four polymorphic forms. Characterization of the various polymorphs was carried out by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), optical microscopy and dissolution studies. Form A, crystallized from acetonitrile, resembled the form I polymorph, while form O, crystallized from 1-octanol, resembled the form III polymorph. Tablets of both form A and form O were produced at compression pressures of 2500 lbs and 5000 lbs using cornstarch and talc and were exposed to 40%, 75% and 95% RH conditions. DSC and PXRD studies did not show any significant drug-excipient interaction. Moreover, the change in the crystalline state of either form upon exposure to humidity was not evident. Dissolution studies showed a significantly lower drug release rate from form O tablets compressed at 5000 lbs pressure and exposed to 95% RH. Pressure and humidity had no significant effect on the dissolution profiles on the form A tablets. It was concluded that form A was the robust choice for further formulation development.

Abstract
Rapid and slow crystallization methods (A and B) were applied for troglitazone, an equal mixture of four stereoisomers. Differences in the powder x-ray diffractometry patterns and hygroscopic patterns were observed among the samples crystallized by these methods, suggesting that troglitazone has solid-state variation. In this article, troglitazone recrystallized by method A was evaluated to clarify its structural characteristics and physical property. The crystal structure of predried troglitazone recrystallized by method A was proved to be a dihydrate. By drying, it changed reversibly to an anhydrate, which is the same structure as the RS/SR form, keeping the same enantiomer ratio. The solubility of the troglitazone by method A higher than that by method B at all enantiomer levels. But making the troglitazone amorphous equalized the enantiomeric solubilities of the substances by both methods as well as increased the intrinsic solubilities. Troglitazone by both methods was proved to be stable and retained the ratio of the stereoisomers.

Abstract
The antidiabetic agent troglitazone has two asymmetric carbons located at the chroman ring and the thiazolidine ring and is produced as a mixture of equal amounts of four optical isomers, 2R-5S, 2S-5R, 2R-5R, and 2S-5S. The crystalline powdered drug substance consists of two diastereomer pairs, 2R-5R/2S-5S and 2R-5S/2S-5R. There are many types of crystals obtained from various crystallization conditions. The X-ray structure analysis and the physicochemical analyses of troglitazone were performed. The solvated crystals of the 2R-5R/2S-5S pair were crystallized from several solutions: methanol, ethanol, acetonitrile, and dichloromethane. The ratio of solvent and troglitazone was 1 : 2 (L1/2-form). The monohydrate crystals were obtained from aqueous acetone solution (L1-form). On the other hand, only an anhydrate crystal of the 2R-5S/2S-5R pair was crystallized from various solutions (H0-form). The dihydrous mixed crystal (MA2-form) was obtained from a mixture of the two diastereomer pairs of 2R-5R/2S-5S and 2R-5S/2S-5R in equal amounts by the slow evaporation of aqueous acetone solution. The crystal structure of the MA2-form is similar to the H0-form. When the MA2 crystal was kept under low humidity, it was converted into the dehydrated form (MA0-form) with retention of the single crystal form. The structure of the MA0-form is isomorphous to the H0-form. The MA2-form was converted into the MA0-form and vice versa with retention of the single crystal under low and high humidity, respectively. The crystallization and storage conditions of the drug substances were successfully analyzed.

Abstract
The characterizations of the anhydrate (A-form), monohydrate (B1-form), and dihydrate (B2-form) of CS-834 were investigated by powder X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), infrared spectroscopy, and Karl Fischer moisture titration. The typical DSC curve of the B2-form showed five endothermic peaks at 35.0, 46.4, 56.2, 99.2, and 190.4 degrees C and an exothermic peak at 123.4 degrees C. In TG-DTA analysis, the three peaks at 35.0, 46.4, and 56.2 degrees C had a total weight loss of 7.3%, corresponding to the release of two water molecules. From morphological observation under thermomicroscopy, the endothermic peak at 99.2 degrees C was attributed to the melting of the dehydrous crystals (B0-form) and the exothermic peak at 123.4 degrees C to the recrystallization to the A-form crystals. The endothermic peak at 190.4 degrees C was due to the melting of the A-form crystals. After incubation for 6.0 h at 35, 50, 60, and 80 degrees C, the powder X-ray diffraction patterns of the B2-form indicated that it was converted into the A-form via the B1-form and B0-form. Thus CS-834 exists in homologous hydrous crystal forms in multiple-phase transformations with the dehydration of two water molecules.

Abstract
The apparent equilibrium solubility (AES) of indomethacin increased by co-grinding with silica. Change in the long- and short range disorder of indomethacin by co-grinding was examined by X-ray powder diffraction and 13C solid state NMR, respectively, to elucidate the increased AES. Since the increase in AES was particularly marked after complete disappearance of X-ray diffraction peaks, we attributed the enhanced AES primarily to the short range disorder on the molecular basis. This was confirmed by a high correlation between the standardized full width at half maximum (SFWHM) of the specific peaks observed by 13C solid state NMR and log (AES). The correlation enables the prediction of AES as well.

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
Anhydrous carbamazepine was prepared by heating carbamazepine dihydrate at 60, 80, 100, 120, and 140 degrees C and used to investigate the effects of dehydration temperature on water vapor adsorption and dissolution behavior. The hydration rate of anhydrous carbamazepine at 75, 83, and 95% relative humidity and 25 degrees C decreased with increasing heating temperature. From the dissolution study by the rotating disk method, the calculated solubility of anhydrous carbamazepine was about 2.5 times higher than that of the dihydrate. The rate of phase transformation from the anhydrous form into the dihydrate during the dissolution process decreased with an increase in sample preparation temperature. These phenomena were further studied by thermal analysis, specific surface area measurement, density measurement, small-angle X-ray scattering, and wide-angle powder X-ray diffraction. As the heating temperature was raised, the specific surface area was reduced and the density was increased; furthermore, the average of the solid part calculated by the Debye method with small-angle X-ray scattering increased. The anhydrous carbamazepine prepared at lower heating temperatures was found to have a more porous structure and was seen by wide-angle powder X-ray diffraction to comprise both anhydrous forms I and II.

Abstract
We have proposed a theory indicating the correlation between the dissolution rate and the heat of solution of drug substances. The initial dissolution rates of the drug substances containing amorphous were predicted accurately from their heats of solution. In this report, the possibility for the theory to estimate the dissolution rates of hydrate and polymorphs was examined using thermal analysis. The initial dissolution rates of carbamazepine dihydrate and polymorphs (forms I, II, and III) were measured by the rotating disk method. The heats of solution and the heats of fusion of samples were measured by microcalorimetry and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), respectively. The logarithm of the initial dissolution rate of the sample was correlated linearly with the heat of fusion as well as the heat of solution. The obtained correlation would be applicable for the quality control of the drug substances the contained hydrate and/or polymorphic forms.

Abstract
The stability of indomethacin (IM) compounded with SiO(2) either by co-grinding or by melt-quenching was examined by recrystallization kinetics under the conditions 30 degrees C and 11% relative humidity. A decrease of the recrystallization rate with and without an appreciable induction period was observed in both compounds. Higher stability of amorphous IM compounded with SiO(2) was attained by prolonged co-grinding than by melt-quenching. This was explained by the stronger chemical interaction at the interface between IM and SiO(2) by co-grinding, as revealed by (29)Si and (13)C solid state NMR. Incomplete co-grinding with the rest of the crystalline state, however, made the amorphous state appreciably unstable, since the remaining crystallites serve as seeds for recrystallization.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the use of small-scale fusion experiments and the Gordon-Taylor (GT) equation to predict whether melt extrusion of a drug with an amorphous polymer produces a stable amorphous dispersion with increased drug dissolution. Indomethacin, lacidipine, nifedipine, piroxicam, and tolbutamide were used as poorly soluble drugs. Drug/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) blends were prepared at a 1:1 mass ratio. Small-scale fusion experiments were performed in a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and in stainless steel beakers. Extrusion was performed in a Brabender Plasti-corder. The glass transition temperatures Tg were determined by DSC. Taking an average Tg from the DSC melt, beaker melt, and GT equation accurately predicted the extrudate Tg. Physical stability of beaker melt and extrudate samples was tested by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and DSC after storage at 30 degrees C (beaker melt) or 25 degrees C (extrudate) and less than 10%, 60%, and 75% relative humidity, (RH). Beaker melts were amorphous, apart from some residual crystallinity. Extrudates were amorphous after preparation. Except for indomethacin/PVP, which remained amorphous, the crystallinity of beaker melts and extrudates increased only at 75% RH. Recrystallization occurred even when the Tg of the sample was well above the storage temperature. Chemical stability of the beaker melts and extrudates was tested by capillary electrophoresis and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Stability was slightly improved in the extrudate compared to the beaker melt. In general, the order for rate of dissolution was crystalline drug was less than the physical mixture, which was less than the drug/PVP beaker melt, which was approximately equal to the extrudate. The use of beaker melts allows a conservative estimate of the potential to melt extrude a drug. To predict physical stability, analysis of the Tg must be combined with physical stability experiments.

Abstract
The physicochemical and tableting properties of hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD) and its tolbutamide (TBM) complex were studied. The kinetics of TBM/HP-beta-CD inclusion complex formation in solution were determined by the phase solubility method. Solid complexes were prepared by freeze-drying and spray-drying. Water sorption-desorption behaviour of the materials were studied and compacts were made using a compaction simulator. TBM and HP-beta-CD formed 1:1 inclusion complexes in aqueous solution with an apparent stability constant of 63 M(-1). HP-beta-CDs and TBM/HP-beta-CD complexes were amorphous whereas the freeze-dried and spray-dried TBMs were polymorphic forms II and I, respectively. Sorption-desorption studies showed that HP-beta-CDs were deliquescent at high relative humidities. TBM/HP-beta-CD complexes had slightly lower water contents at low relative humidities than the physical mixtures. However, at high humidities their water sorption and desorption behaviours were similar to those of corresponding physical mixtures, indicating a glass transition of the complexed materials. TBM/HP-beta-CD complexes demonstrated a worse compactability than similarly prepared HP-beta-CDs or physical mixtures. Also particle properties that resulted from these preparation methods affected the compactability of the materials. In conclusion, the physicochemical and tableting properties of HP-beta-CD were modified by complexation it with TBM.

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
PURPOSE The deformation behaviors of compressed freeze-dried and spray-dried tolbutamide/hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin molecular dispersions were evaluated and compared with similarly prepared tolbutamides (TBM), hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrins (HP-beta-CD) and as their physical dispersions. METHODS TBM, HP-beta-CD, and their 1:1 molecular dispersions were prepared by freeze-drying and spray-drying, and physical dispersions of TBM and HP-beta-CD were blended. Deformation properties of the prepared materials were evaluated by using a compaction simulator and constants derived from Heckel plots. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed in order to gain a molecular-level view on the deformation behavior of TBM-HP-beta-CD inclusion complex. RESULTS The freeze-dried TBM polymorphic form II was less prone to overall particle deformation than the spray-dried stable form I. Formation of molecular dispersions decreased the plastic and elastic behaviors of these materials. Also, the MD simulations showed a reduced molecular flexibility of the TBM-HP-beta-CD inclusion complex, as compared to HP-beta-CD. CONCLUSIONS The formation of TBM and HP-beta-CD molecular dispersion resulted in more rigid molecular arrangements, which were less prone to deformation than either HP-beta-CDs or physical dispersions. The results showed how differing molecular, solid, particle, and powder state properties affect the deformation properties of the materials studied.

Abstract
The investigation of dissolution failures for erythromycin dihydrate tablet formulation over a 12-month period using a near-infrared spectroscopy technique revealed the role of a desolvated dihydrate in the retardation of dissolution. Near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) indicated a dehydrated dihydrate of erythromycin is produced during formulation and gradually binds with Mg(OH)2. The binding delays the process of dissolution. NIR was used to successfully predict that humidifying the tablets would reverse the binding and increase the dissolution rate.
