A study of the heat-mediated phase transformations of praziquantel hydrates. Evaluation of their impact on the dissolution rate

ABSTRACT: Comprehensive knowledge of the critical properties of the active pharmaceutical ingredients is a requirement within the modern concept of quality. Praziquantel hemihydrate (HH) and monohydrate (MH) are new solid forms of this antihelmintic agent, which have better solubility properties than the commercial anhydrous solid form (polymorph A). The thermal stability of the hydrates was evaluated, aiming to understand any possible transformation (amorphization, change to a less soluble form). Therefore, HH and MH were prepared along with the related anhydrous solid forms A and B, and characterized employing solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, powder X-ray diffraction, mid and near infrared spectroscopy, thermal methods and the intrinsic dissolution rate. The transformations of HH and MH und
