Correlation of Solubility Thermodynamics of Glibenclamide with Recrystallization and In Vitro Release Profile. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27041392. [PMID: 35209181 PMCID: PMC8874636 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27041392] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2022] [Revised: 02/12/2022] [Accepted: 02/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
The solubility of glibenclamide was evaluated in DMSO, NMP, 1,4-dioxane, PEG 400, Transcutol® HP, water, and aqueous mixtures (T = 293.15~323.15 K). It was then recrystallized to solvate and compressed into tablets, of which 30-day stability and dissolution was studied. It had a higher solubility in 1,4-dioxane, DMSO, NMP (Xexp = 2.30 × 103, 3.08 × 104, 2.90 × 104) at 323.15 K, its mixture (Xexp = 1.93 × 103, 1.89 × 104, 1.58 × 104) at 298.15 K, and 1,4-dioxane (w) + water (1−w) mixture ratio of w = 0.8 (Xexp = 3.74 × 103) at 323.15 K. Modified Apelblat (RMSD ≤ 0.519) and CNIBS/R-K model (RMSD ≤ 0.358) suggested good comparability with the experimental solubility. The minimum value of ΔG° vs ΔH° at 0.70 < x2 < 0.80 suggested higher solubility at that molar concentration. Based on the solubility, it was recrystallized into the solvate, which was granulated and compressed into tablets. Among the studied solvates, the tablets of glibenclamide dioxane solvate had a higher initial (95.51%) and 30-day (93.74%) dissolution compared to glibenclamide reference (28.93%). There was no stability issue even after granulation, drying, or at pH 7.4. Thus, glibenclamide dioxane solvate could be an alternative form to improve the molecule’s properties.

Abstract
A new polymorphic form of otilonium bromide is presented (Form I), and a thorough analysis of its crystal and molecular structure is performed. The compound suffers a temperature-driven first-order phase transition at about 396 K, which transforms it into the polymorph reported by Dapporto P and Sega A (Acta Cryst. 1986;C42:474-478) (Form II). Through thermal analysis and solubility experiments the relative stability of both crystal modifications were determined, confirming that at room temperature this new Form I is the more stable one, Form II existing just in a metastable state.

Abstract
Solid form screen of anti-hyperammonemic drug carglumic acid (CGA) resulted in two polymorphs, Form-I and Form-II. The crystal structure of Form-I is sustained by an acid catemer synthon, whereas Form-II has an acid–amide heterosynthon. Slurry grinding, thermal stress, stability measurements, and DVS analysis confirm the thermodynamic stability of Form-I.

Abstract
The solvent formation of phenobarbital, an important drug compound with an unusually complex polymorphic behavior, was studied in detail. Monosolvates with acetonitrile, nitromethane, dichloromethane, and 1,4-dioxane were produced and characterized by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, thermoanalytical methods, FT-IR, Raman, and solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Thermal desolvation of these compounds yields mainly mixtures of polymorphs III, II, and I. At a low relative humidity (25 °C) the solvates transform to polymorph III, and at higher relative humidity the monohydrate and the metastable polymorphs IV and VI can be present as additional desolvation products. These results highlight the potential complexity of desolvation reactions and illustrate that a tight control of ambient conditions is a prerequisite for the production of phase-pure raw materials of drug compounds. Transformation in aqueous media results in the monohydrate. Below room temperature, the 1,4-dioxane monosolvate undergoes a reversible single-crystal-to-single-crystal phase transition due to the ordering/disordering of 50% of its solvent molecules. Dipolar-dephasing NMR experiments show that the solvent molecules are relatively mobile. Deuterium NMR spectra reinforce that conclusion for the dioxane solvent molecules. The crystal structure of an elusive 1,4-dioxane hemisolvate was also determined. This study clearly indicates the existence of "transient solvates" of phenobarbital. The formation of unstable phases of this kind must be considered in order to better understand how different solvents affect the crystallization of specific polymorphs.

Abstract
Polymorphism in solids is a common phenomenon in drugs, which can lead to compromised quality due to changes in their physicochemical properties, particularly solubility, and, therefore, reduce bioavailability. Herein, a bibliographic survey was performed based on key issues and studies related to polymorphism in active pharmaceutical ingredient (APIs) present in medications from the Farmácia Popular Rede Própria. Polymorphism must be controlled to prevent possible ineffective therapy and/or improper dosage. Few mandatory tests for the identification and control of polymorphism in medications are currently available, which can result in serious public health concerns.

Abstract
The photostability of tamoxifen citrate polymorphs, forms A and B, was investigated by chromatographic and spectroscopic analyses including high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), colorimetry and UV/vis solid-state absorption spectroscopy. On the basis of the results of photostability studies under irradiation by visible light and both UVA (320-400 nm) and a fraction of UVB (290-320 nm) light, form A was chemically unstable, whereas form B was stable against light irradiation. The surface color of pellets prepared with any of these crystal forms turned from white to brown; however, the extent of color change in cross-sections of form A pellet was deeper than that of form B pellet. The maximum peak of UV/vis solid-state absorption spectra of form A was observed at 337 nm within the UVA range and was in longer wavelength regions than form B, which exhibited the strong UV absorption mainly in UVB and UVC region. The results obtained suggested that the photodegradation followed by surface color change of form A crystal was caused by the selective absorption of photoenergy of UVA light irradiated by a xenon lamp.

Abstract
A computational exploration of the low energy crystal structures of the pharmaceutical molecule phenobarbital is presented as a test of an approach for the crystal structure prediction of flexible molecules. Traditional transferable force field methods of modelling flexible molecules are unreliable for the level of accuracy required in crystal structure prediction and we outline a strategy for improving the evaluation of relative energies of large sets of crystal structures. The approach involves treating the molecule as a set of linked rigid units, whose conformational energy is expressed as a function of the relative orientations of the rigid groups. The conformational energy is calculated by electronic structure methods and the intermolecular interactions using an atomic multipole description of electrostatics. A key consideration in our approach is the scalability to more typical pharmaceutical molecules of higher molecular weight with many more atoms and degrees of flexibility. Based on our calculations, crystal structures are proposed for the as-yet uncharacterised forms IV and V, as well as further polymorphs of phenobarbital.

Abstract
Two novel pseudopolymorphs, methanolate and ethanolate of tamoxifen [(Z)-2-[4-(1,2-diphenyl-1-butenyl)phenoxy]-N,N-dimethylethylamine]citrate, were prepared in addition to forms A and B reported previously. Their crystalline forms were identified and characterized by powder and single crystal X-ray diffractometry, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, hot-stage microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier-transform spectroscopy, and their physicochemical stability was also evaluated. The results of single crystal X-ray analysis and thermogravimetric analysis of methanolate and ethanolate suggested that the stoichiometry of tamoxifen citrate : methanol and tamoxifen citrate : ethanol could be composed of a 1 : 1 molecular ratio for both solvates. The results of physicochemical stability evaluations at 75 and 97% RH at 40 and 60 degrees C indicated that the metastable form A was quite stable for at least 2 months even under severe storage conditions, whereas methanolate immediately transformed to a crystalline mixture of forms A and B, and subsequently changed to the stable form B.

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
The development of isothermal microcalorimetry to a study of the kinetic and thermodynamics of polymorphic transitions in seratrodast ((+/-)-7-(3,5,6-trimethyl-1,4-benzoquinon-2-yl)-7-phenylheptanoic acid) Form II is reported. Sieved samples of Form II were allowed to convert to Form I, in a reaction vessel of an isothermal microcalorimeter, under 13, 31, 63 and 93% relative humidity (RH) between 48 and 65 degrees C. The power (Phi, in Watts) versus time curves from the microcalorimeter were integrated into the heat output (q, in Joules) versus time curves to yield fractional extent of Form I converted versus time curves. The change in enthalpy (-5.70 kJmol(-1)) agreed very closely with that obtained by differential scanning calorimetry and solution calorimetry, which indicated that the power measured by the microcalorimeter was due only to the Form II-to-Form I transition. Application of the theoretical kinetic method [J. Am. Ceram. Soc. 55 (1972) 74] revealed that the transition took place via a two-dimensional growth of nuclei mechanism at all the studied relative humidities and temperatures. The rate constant increased with increasing RH and temperature, and with decreasing the particle size of sample. The activation energies obtained from Arrhenius plots were 292, 290, 280 and 284 kJmol(-1), and the extrapolated rate constants at 25 degrees C were also 3.01 x 10(-10), 3.11 x 10(-10), 9.65 x 10(-10) and 3.84 x 10(-9)s(-1) for 13, 31, 63 and 93% RH, respectively.

Abstract
Processing-induced transformations (PITs) during pharmaceutical manufacturing are well known but difficult to predict and often difficult to control. This review of the concepts of transformations is couched in terms of the issues associated with identifying rate-controlling events from the materials side and the processing side. Specifically, the approach is reconciling the characteristic time scale of the structural change(s) in the material with the time scale of the processing-induced stress. This is definitely a model (or rather a melding of a group of existing theories) in development. This overview is a 'snapshot' of the authors' attempts to identify the categories of existing theories needed to encompass all of the relevant events for each possible PIT. The ultimate goal is to establish a framework of concepts and theories for consideration, discussion, and modeling of PITs as well as to locate much of the relevant literature in the framework.

Abstract
Systematic polymorphic screening tests were performed using 11 kinds of solvents and 6 kinds of preparation methods, and the three specific modifications of glybuzole (forms I and II and amorphous form) were identified by X-ray diffractometry and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The physicochemical properties of forms I and II and amorphous forms were measured using X-ray diffractometry, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TG), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), solubility tests, and others. The solubilities of all modifications in JP XII, first and second fluid (pH 1.2 and 6.8, respectively) were evaluated at 37 degrees C. Forms I and II and the amorphous form showed almost equivalent solubilities. Forms I and II were stable polymorphic forms at 0% and 75% relative humidity (RH), respectively, at 40 degrees C for 2 months, but the amorphous form was not stable. The crystallization rates of the amorphous form at 0% and 75% RH at 40 degrees C were estimated by X-ray diffraction analysis based on the Jander equation, and the rate at 0% RH was 364 times slower than that at 75% RH.

Abstract
The effects of the polymorphic form on the compression mechanism of forms A, B, and F of phenobarbital were investigated using a compression simulator, mercury porosimetry, X-ray diffraction analysis, BET gas absorption method, and scanning electron microscopic (SEM) photography. The order of tablet hardness obtained from all phenobarbital polymorphs was form A > form B > form F in accordance with that of the specific surface area. The Cooper and Eaton method was applied to evaluate two individual compression processes: particle rearrangement (phase I) and fragmentation and/or deformation (phase II). The parameters for compression processes were calculated using a nonlinear regression analyses program, and the compression energies of phases I and II were calculated from these parameters. The relationship between specific surface area after compression and compression energy at phase I showed a good linear correlation, but their ratio did not. In contrast, the specific surface area ratio showed a linear relationship with the compression energy on phase II, but again the ratio of these two parameters did not. The tablet hardness showed a linear relationship with the specific surface area ratio, but not with the specific surface area. Again, the ratio of these two parameters did not show a linear relationship.

Abstract
The objective of this work was to compare the physicochemical properties of four crystalline forms of the fibrinogen receptor antagonist L-738,167 [2(S)-[p-toluenesulfonyl amino]-3-[[[5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4-oxo-5-[2-(piperidin-4-yl)ethyl] -4-H-pyrazolo[1,5-a][1,4] diazepin-2-yl] carbonyl]amino]-propionic acid] to determine the best form for use in the development of oral dosage formulations. Four crystalline forms [form A (trihydrate), form B (pentahydrate), form C, and form D] were compared using x-ray powder diffractometry, thermal analysis, and moisture sorption studies. The trihydrate, form A, was demonstrated to hydrate upon exposure to relative humidity (RH) above 50% at room temperature (25 degrees C) with conversion to the pentahydrate. The pentahydrate, form B, converted to the trihydrate at room temperature when exposed to humidity levels below 25% RH. The crystalline pentahydrate was shown to be stable to dehydration upon storage at 30 degrees C/60% RH and 40 degrees C/75% RH for 3 months. The suspension of form A or form D in water resulted in conversion to form B, the stable hydrated form in an aqueous environment. Form C has a unique crystalline structure that is stable in an aqueous environment and not subject to hydration/dehydration with changes in relative humidity and thus may offer some advantages in pharmaceutical development.
