Lamivudine is known to exhibit polymorphism and the needle-shaped crystals are named as Form I and the bipyramidal crystals as Form II. The FT-Raman spectrum of lamivudine Form II and I shows characteristic bands at 798, 463 cm -1 and 697 cm -1 Raman shifts, respectively. FT-Raman spectroscopy method combined with chemometrics was developed for quantitative analysis of lamivudine Form II in lamivudine Form I drug substance. Solid mixtures of Form I and Form II shows the relative intensity of the characteristic bands at 798, 463 and 697 cm -1 were proportional to the relative amounts of Form I and Form II in mixtures. A calibration was made which is linear in the range from 1.0 to 20.0 % (w/w) of Form II in Form I. The results indicate that levels down to 3.0 % (w/w) of Form II could be quantified using this non-destructive approach, with less than 1.5 % (w/w) limit of detection.
