The crystal structures of four crystal forms of rifaximin, named a, b, d and e, have been elucidated by a combination of single crystal and powder diffraction experiments with synchrotron and X-ray sources. The crystal structures of the d and e forms have been determined from powder diffraction data alone. Hot stage microscopy has also been of paramount importance in the understanding of the b A a conversion process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
