The influence of different solvents (propylene glycol, glycerol, ethanol), as well as different technological procedures (melting, rapid and slow cooling), on the formation of polymorphous piroxicam modifications was examined in the course of the elaboration of a "soft-patch" type of semisolid pharmaceutical dosage form. The thermodynamical behavior, some physicochemical properties (such as melting point, dissolution rate), and infrared (IR) spectrum of the formed (needle and cubic) crystal modifications were studied, and the possibilities of their formation and their avoidance were examined.
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.
