Anhydrate and hemihydrate phases of etoricoxib (5-chloro-6′methyl-3-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-2,3′-bipyridine) are described. The ternary phase diagram of etoricoxib, isopropyl acetate, and water at 10 °C is reported. The critical water/ isopropyl acetate ratio at this temperature, below which etoricoxib will exist as anhydrate at equilibrium, is 0.21 ( 0.04 wt % water, as determined from measurements made on the ternary solution in simultaneous equilibrium with anhydrate and hemihydrate solids.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
