PRELIMINARY EVALLUATION: 

PRELIMINARY EVALLUATION Once pharmacologically active compound has been identified different project team have responsibility for assuring that compound enters in development process in it`s optimum molecular form. If deficiency is detected then project team decide on molecular modification . e.g.salts , prodrug,,solvets ,polymorphs, Mostly salt & prodrug approches are common . Most salts of organic compound are formed by addition or removal of proton to form ionized drug molecule which is then neutralizad with counter ion. e. g.ephedrine hydrochloride . 3/18/2012 7

PowerPoint Presentation: 

Organic salts are more water soluble than un –ionized molecule. Prodrug are synthetic derivative of drug molecule Pharmaceutical improvement from prodrug include stabilization ,increase or decrease of solubility , crystallinity , taste ,odour . e. g.Erythromycin esolate Once the optimum molecular form of drug has been selected formulation development begin there task in drug development process. 3/18/2012 8

1.BULK CHARACTERIZATION: 

1. Bulk properties of the solid form such as crystallinity, polymorphism, particle size, powder flow property, and surface characteristics are likely to change during process development. A Crystallinity The crystal habit describes the outer appearance of crystals ( platy, equant, needle, bladed, etc.) and internal structure is arrangement within solid. Compounds have several different habits, depending on the environment for growing crystals. 3/18/2012 10 1.BULK CHARACTERIZATION

PowerPoint Presentation: 

Changes with internal structure alter crystal habit while chemical changes produces both change in internal structure & crystal habit . Characterization of solid form involves – Verifying that the solid is expected chemical compound. Characterizing internal structure Describing habit of crystal. The internal structure of compound can be classified in following way. 3/18/2012 11

PowerPoint Presentation: 

12 Chemical compound habits Internal structure crystalline amorphous Single entity Molecular adduct polymorphs Nonstoichiometric inclusion compound Stoichiometric solvates (hydrates) channel layer Cage (clathrate) 3/18/2012

PowerPoint Presentation: 

A crystalline compound may contain either a stoichiometric or nonstoichiometric amount of crystallization solvent. Nonstoichiometric aducts are called as inclusions or clathrates . Stoichiometric aducts are called as solvets molecules. e.g Chloramphenicol palmitate A,B,C & amorphous form are used in suspension then after investigation it was found that form B have increased peak serum level due to more soluble form. 3/18/2012 13

Differential Scanning Colorimetry : 

Differential Scanning Colorimetry In DSC, the sample & the reference material are subjected to linear heating , but the temperature of two materials should be same, and a graph is plotted. E.g . Doxorubicin. In both Differential Scanning Colorimetry & Differential Thermal Analysis the heat loss and gain resulting from physical or chemical transitions occurring in a sample. Enthalpic changes both endothermic & exothermic are caused by phase transitions. For example, fusion, sublimation, solid-solid transition & water loss generally produce endothermic effects while crystallization produces exothermic effects 3/18/2012 17

Differential Scanning Colorimetry 3/18/2012 18

Infrared spectroscopy : 

Infrared spectroscopy The study of the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with vibrational and rotational resonances within a molecular structure is termed as IR Spectroscopy. IR has the ability to differentiate isomers groups such as Cis -trans double bond compound. Gives an information regarding functional group present in new drug molecule. FT-IR use for both qualitative and quqntitative analysis of sample. 3/18/2012 19

Thermal Gravimetric Analysis: 

Thermal Gravimetric Analysis It is an excellent analytical procedure for determination of the content of moisture. TGA helps to determine the temperature at which the material losses weight due to evaporation or decomposition. E.g . Cefamandole Naftate . Weight loss begins at 63°C & loss continues at 137°C & at 163°C resulting decomposition. Determine the temperature at which no loss of weight takes place; this indicates the stability of the compound 3/18/2012 20

PowerPoint Presentation: 

. X-RAY DIFFRACTION When a beam of non homogenous x-rays is allowed to pass through a sample the x-ray beam is diffracted & it is recorded by means of photographic plates . Single Crystal X-ray provides the most complete information about the solid state. It is used to differentiate the amophous and crystalline forms. This method is tedious, time consuming & hence unsuitable for routine use. 3/18/2012 21

PowerPoint Presentation: 

B. Polymorphism polymorphism is the ability of the compound to crystallize as more than one distinct crystalline species with different internal structure. Formation of different polymorphs depends on solvents, temperature, pressure, rate of cooling, etc. Polymorphic transitions can also occur during milling, granulating, drying and compressing operations Different polymorphs vary in physical properties such as dissolution, solid-state stability, compatibility , etc 3/18/2012 22

C.HYGROSCOCITY : 

C. HYGROSCOCITY The tendency of a solid to take up water from the atmosphere, as it is subjected to a controlled RH program under isothermal condition i.e. hygroscopicity . Deliquescent materials adsorbs sufficient water to dissolve completely . Changes in moisture level can greatly influence many parameters e.g. chemical stsbility , flowability,comactibility . 3/18/2012 23
