Continuous Monitoring of Pseudopolymorphic Transition in Ezetimibe Using T Relaxation with Time-Domain NMR.

The purpose of this study was to continuously monitor the pseudopolymorphic transition from anhydrate to monohydrate by measuring the NMR relaxation using time-domain NMR (TD-NMR). Taking advantage of the simplicity of the low-field NMR instrument configuration, which is an advantage of TD-NMR, the NMR instrument was connected to a humidity controller to monitor the pseudopolymorphic transition. First, ezetimibe (EZT) monohydrate was prepared from its anhydrate using a saturated salt solution method, and T relaxation of EZT monohydrate and anhydrate was measured without a humidity controller.
