In this article we describe the optimizing parameters in the process of spherical crystallisation. Particle engineering of active pharmaceutical agents is an innovative area of research in pharmaceutical industry because of several advantages. Spherical crystallization is one of the particle engineering technique in which drug directly gets crystallized and agglomerated into spherical shape. The spherical crystals can be obtained by different methods like solvent change, Quasi-emulsion droplet, ammonia diffusion and neutralisation. The optimization of process of spherical crystallization is important for obtaining the ideal spherical crystal agglomerates. It includes stirring rate, selection of solvent, pH, temperature etc. which affects on the physico-chemical properties of crystals. These optimizing parameters play its specific role in formation of spherical crystals. Stirring rate affects the shape as well as size of the final agglomerates and solvent selection helps in the formation of maximum amount of agglomerates in the system. The factors like pH and temperature should be maintained in case of drugs which show polymorphism. Apart from this, several others physical phenomenon or parameters like interfacial tension and rate of crystallisation are also important for thorough optimization of process.
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.
