Study and characterization of crystalline hydrate/polymorph forms of 5,11-dihydro-11-ethyl-5-methyl-8-(2-(1-oxido-4-quinolinyl)ethyl-6H-dipyrido(3,2-B:2',3'-E)(1,4)diazepin-6-one by solid-state NMR and solution NMR.

A novel inhibitor of reverse transcriptase was studied by solid-state NMR. Three phases of the compound were examined which included the dihydrate and two anhydrous polymorphs (Form I and Form III). By correlating (1)H and (13)C solution NMR with the solid-state (13)C NMR CP/MAS and CPPI spectral editing experiments, comparative (13)C assignments were made for each phase.

Drug-excipient complexation in lipid based delivery systems: an investigation of the Tipranavir-1,3-dioctanolyglycerol complex.

This report describes the solubility properties of a poorly soluble drug-excipient complex in a lipid based formulation. Tipranavir (TPV) was used as the model drug and 1,3-dioctanoylglycerol (DOG) as the excipient. The TPV-DOG complex was prepared by dissolving TPV and DOG in ethanol at 60 degrees C followed by evaporation of ethanol.
