TLDR
Polymorphism is the ability of any element or compound to crystallize as more than one distinct crystal species (e.g., carbon as cubic diamond or hexagonal graphite).

Solid state characterization of the anti-HIV drug TMC114: Interconversion of amorphous TMC114, TMC114 ethanolate and hydrate

TL;DR: Whereas TMC114 ethanolate is stable in the commercialized drug product, special conditions can trigger its conversion, and the amorphous form, prepared by melting-quenching shows a limited water uptake.

Polymorph Control of Micro/Nano-Sized Mefenamic Acid Crystals on Patterned Self-Assembled Monolayer Islands

TL;DR: In this article, patterned self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are employed, on which a large number of identical experiments can be conducted and the results show that SAMs forming a strong interaction with the −COOH group of MA molecules preferably produced form II.

Determination of the Crystal Structure of a New Polymorph of Theophylline

TL;DR: A new approach to crystal structure determination, combining crystal structure prediction and transmission electron microscopy, was used to identify a potential new crystal phase of the pharmaceutical compound theophylline, despite the new polymorph occurring as a minor component in a mixture with Form II.

Solid-state 13C NMR study of indomethacin polymorphism.

TL;DR: It was found that solid-state (13)C NMR can be a powerful tool to estimate the number of molecular conformations as well as configurational differences in the packing of molecules in a unit cell.

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.
