Theophylline is known to undergo vapor phase induced hydrate-anhydrate pseudopolymorphic transformations, which can affect its bioavailability. In this work, the kinetics of the pseudopolymorphic transitions of theophylline crystals in different storage conditions is studied using a vibrational spectroscopic technique. While the hydration is a single-step process with a half-life time of ca. 5 h, the dehydration occurs through a two-step mechanism. In addition, the phase stability of hydrate-anhydrate systems in different relative humidity (RH) conditions was probed. The critical RH for anhydrous teophylline was found to be at ca. 79%, while the critical RH for dehydration is ca. 30%.

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.

Rifaximin is a locally acting antibiotic practically insoluble in water. It presents several crystal phases characterized by different degrees of hydration. The aim of this work is to investigate the dissolution behaviour of rifaximin α, β, and amorphous forms in relation to their relative thermodynamic stability to contribute to clarifying possible solvent- or humidity-mediated conversion patterns.

We report here the synthesis of a new - (-) singly linked vanadyl-porphyrin dimer that crystallizes in two different pseudo-polymorphs. The single crystal continuous-wave electron paramagnetic resonance investigation evidences a small but crucial isotropic exchange interaction, , between the two tilted, and thus distinguishable, spin centers of the order of 10 cm. The experimental and DFT studies evidence a correlation between values and porphyrin plane tilting angle and distortion.

New cyclometalated Pt complexes with 2-phenylbenzothiazole (pbt) and two different picolinate ligands [Pt(pbt)(R-pic-κ)] (R = H (), OH ()) were prepared. In contrast to , the OH substituent group on allows modulation of the packing in the solid state through donor-acceptor H-bonding interactions with the CHCl solvent. Thus, three pseudopolymorphs of with different aggregation degrees were isolated, including yellow , orange-red () and black () with emissions at 540, 656, and 740 nm, respectively, in the solid state at 298 K.

Article Synopsis
- A new droplet-based microfluidic platform is developed to investigate the nucleation kinetics of calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM), which is linked to kidney stones, while monitoring transitions between different forms.
- The research analyzes how factors like supersaturation levels, pH, and inhibitors like magnesium ions and osteopontin impact the rate at which COM forms.
- Results show that pH significantly affects nucleation rates, with lower pH leading to slower kinetics; additionally, osteopontin is more effective at inhibiting COM nucleation than magnesium, revealing the important role of macromolecules in kidney stone formation.
