Process Optimization of a Complex Pharmaceutical Polymorphic System via In Situ Raman Spectroscopy

Abstract: In situ Raman spectroscopy was used to determine the rate of polymorph turnover for MK-A, a multipolymorphic compound in development at Merck Research Laboratories. The known crystal forms of MK-A include four anhydrous polymorphs, two hydrates, and numerous solvates. The penultimate and pure steps of this process involve a coupling reaction to generate a mixture of crystal forms followed by turnover to the desired polymorph, form A. This paper summarizes experiments to measure the kinetics of polymorph turnov… Show more

“…For instance, the polymorphic conversions of the compound MK-A, which is known to exist in several anhydrous forms as well as a hemihydrate and dihydrate form, have been described using in-situ Raman spectroscopy. [86] PLS regression based on binary mixtures of two polymorphic forms was used to quantify solidstate conversions and determine conversion kinetics as well as pathways that are likely to occur during manufacturing of polymorphic form A in isopropyl acetate slurries. The effects of seeding with a polymorphic form or adding water were also investigated and in-situ Raman spectroscopy was found to be a useful tool for process development in terms of finding an optimal temperature for the preparation of the desired polymorphic form.…”

“…In the pharmaceutical industry, identification of pseudopolymorphs of APIs during their early stage development is critical (Byrn et al, 1995;Starbuck et al, 2002;Dahiya and Gautam, 2011;Fan and Luo, 2011;Ding et al, 2011). In addition, the study on the solventmediated transformation between pseudopolymorphs is highly important as well.…”

“…[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Despite the similar information content of Raman and infrared absorption (IR) spectroscopies, Raman presents several advantages over IR. In the particular context of the present work, the most relevant advantage is the low Raman activity of water vibrations, whose strong infrared activity tends to mask a wide IR spectrum range.…”
