Dissertation

Role of hydrogen bonding lifetime and complementarity in heterogeneous nucleation

Vivek Verma
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the mechanism for the heterogeneous nucleation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in the presence of different excipient heterosurfaces, and found that the hydrogen bonding lifetime of the individual API molecules or small API clusters attached to a heter-osurface is much longer than the lifetime of API-API interactions in the solution phase, or the time required for an API molecule to add to a solution phase.

A New Hemihydrate of Valacyclovir Hydrochloride

TL;DR: Several crystal forms of valacyclovir hydrochloride, including two anhydrous and three hydrates, were investigated in this paper, and a new hemihydrate was first discovered and its properties were characterized by PXRD, TGA, DSC, and Raman.

A New, More Stable Polymorphic Form of Otilonium Bromide: Solubility, Crystal Structure, and Phase Transformation

TL;DR: Through thermal analysis and solubility experiments the relative stability of both crystal modifications were determined, confirming that at room temperature this new Form I is the more stable one, Form II existing just in a metastable state.

Mechanism of sustained‐action medication. Theoretical analysis of rate of release of solid drugs dispersed in solid matrices

TL;DR: The analyses suggest that for the latter system the time required to release 50% of the drug would normally be expected to be approximately 10 per cent of that required to dissolve the last trace of the solid drug phase in the center of the pellet.

The united states pharmacopeia.

Robert A. Hatcher
- 04 Jan 1908 - 
TL;DR: The Pharmacopeia was called into being by physicians in 1820, and in 1850 pharmacists were admitted to the convention; since then physicians have gradually relinquished control to pharmacists, and to-day the authors are confronted with an anomalous condition.
