Description:
Raman spectroscopy generally serves as a secondary technique for solid-sate characterization of pharmaceuticals in early stages of drug development. However, in certain cases this technique is of primary importance. Case studies will illustrate practical scenarios in which this technique is preferred over conventional solid-state characterization techniques, such as x-ray powder diffraction (XRPD).
Case Study 1: Raman spectroscopy was used to investigate the disproportionation of the hydrochloride salt of a free base. Due to the isostructural nature of their crystalline lattice, XRPD patterns could not be used to differentiate between the hydrochloride salt and the free base hydrate using X-ray diffraction. However the Raman spectrum of the two forms showed clear differences. This enabled in-situ monitoring by Raman spectroscopy which provided key information on the viability of the hydrochloride salt for further development.
Case Study 2: Hydrate formation for compound B in various binary mixtures of organic solvent and water was monitored in-situ using dispersive Raman spectroscopy. The data was used to identify process conditions under which the desired phase was thermodynamically stable and could be scaled up without risk of generating the undesired phase.

| The Role of Raman Spectroscopy in Polymorph Screening |
Date: March 25, 2010

Presenter: Sarah Vallance - Research Scientist, Solid Form Sciences at GlaxoSmithKline Register Now

Description:
Polymorphism is the ability of a molecule to exist in more than one crystalline form. These solid-state forms may exhibit variation in, for example, colour, stability, processability, dissolution and bioavailability, ranging from the subtle to the severe. It is for this reason that an understanding of the solid-state behaviour of a drug molecule, including the identification of all possible forms, and thorough characterisation of the observed forms is of prime importance within the pharmaceutical industry.
An in-depth understanding of the polymorph landscape of a drug candidate relies on the development and implementation of a reliable screening protocol.
During the early phases of drug development there is high attrition of drug candidates therefore screening efforts are more focussed on identifying the most stable polymorph and any process-relevant solvates or hydrates. As a drug progresses, however, attrition rates become lower and screening is more thorough, with the aim being to develop a comprehensive understanding of the polymorph landscape.
Polymorph screening at any stage requires high-throughput analysis of a large number of samples with minimal sample preparation. Thus Raman microscopy provides the ideal analytical solution.
This presentation will describe a particular case study, in which Raman microscopy was fully utilized to characterise a number of different anhydrous, hydrated and solvated forms. The study enabled selection of the most suitable solid-state form for further development as well as mitigating the risk of hydrate formation during primary and secondary processing.
