Suppressed Release of Clarithromycin from Tablets by Crystalline Phase Transition of Metastable Polymorph Form I.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The pharmaceutical properties of clarithromycin (CAM) tablets containing the metastable form I of crystalline CAM were investigated. Although the dissolution rate of form I was higher than that of stable form II, the release of CAM from form I tablet was delayed. Disintegration test and liquid penetration test showed that the disintegration of the tablet delayed because of the slow penetration of an external solution into form I tablet. Investigation by scanning electron microscopy revealed that the surface of form I tablet was covered with fine needle-shaped crystals following an exposure to the external solution. These crystals were identified as form IV crystals by powder X-ray diffraction. The phenomenon that CAM releases from tablet was inhibited by fine crystals spontaneously formed on the tablet surface could be applied to the design of sustained-release formulation systems with high CAM contents by minimizing the amount of functional excipients.

Saturated fatty acids and fatty acid esters promote the polymorphic transition of clarithromycin metastable form I crystal.
The phase transition of active pharmaceutical ingredients should be taken into account during manufacturing, processing- and storage, because different crystal forms lead to different physical properties of formulations. The phase transition of clarithromycin (CAM) metastable form I to stable form II was investigated on heating with additives such as fatty acids or fatty acid esters. Differenti...

A phase transition between two-dimensional polymorphs of the buckybowl corannulene on a Cu(111) surface can be suppressed by spatial confinement, allowing stabilisation of the metastable polymorph over the stable one.
متن کاملEffect of surfactants or a water soluble polymer on the crystal transition of clarithromycin during a wet granulation process.
To generate products containing a stable form of clarithromycin (CAM) (form II) regardless of the initial crystal form of CAM or type of granulation solvent, the effects of five surfactants, or a water-soluble polymer (macrogol 400) were determined on the crystal transition of CAM. The metastable form (form I) was kneaded with water, after adding surfactants, or a water-soluble polymer. Form II...

The structure of the metastable form I polymorph of the macrolide antibiotic clarithromycin, C(38)H(69)NO(13), was determined by a powder diffraction method using synchrotron radiation. The space group of form I is P2(1)2(1)2. The initial model was determined by a molecular replacement method using the structure of clarithromycin form 0 as a search model, and the final structure was obtained th...
