“…The access to the amorphous form of an API is of high concern as the dissolution properties and bioavailability are significantly higher than in crystalline form. − Nevertheless, the glassy state of an API might exhibit a poor physical stability that could be tricky for industrial process and/or scale-up. − In recent years, various studies were devoted to the improvement of the physical stability of the amorphous state by using multicomponent systems such as solid dispersions, i.e., involving an API and polymer − or a coamorphous drug. − The fundamental mechanisms related to the physical instability of amorphous single components remain considerably unexplained, and the scientific community tries to identify the physical factors governing the shelf life (i.e., recrystallization behavior) of noncrystalline pharmaceuticals. Among reported studies devoted to this issue, various internal factors have been outlined: mobility and molecular motions, ,− primary and secondary relaxations, ,,, fragility, , density, interfacial energy, structures, etc. However, experimental (i.e., external) conditions such as thermal history, surface effects, , relative humidity, , defects or cracks, , and the amorphization itself ,− seem to impact the process of recrystallization from an amorphous state.…”
