| Abstract | |
Ezetimibe (EZT), in its anhydrous form, is a drug used for cholesterol and lipids reduction in blood plasma. The presence of Elf monohydrate in commercial tablets can change the solubility rate of the API, decreasing its activity. The objective of this work was to verify if the humidity present in the excipients could promote the phase transition from Elf anhydrous to hydrate. Initially the stability of the pure anhydrous form was monitored by Raman, at room temperature (23 degrees C) and relative humidity (75%). The MCR-ALS method showed that almost all Elf changed to hydrated form in 30 min. Then tablets of ezetimibe in the presence of its excipients were prepared and vacuum packed using a polyethylene film. Such tablet was monitored by Raman spectroscopy for 24 h in order to quantify the mixture of the crystalline forms. A multivariate calibration model using Raman spectroscopy and Partial Least Square (PLS) regression was built, with validation and cross validation errors around 0.6% (wt/wt), for both crystalline forms, and R-2 higher than 0.96. The PLS model was used to quantify the crystalline mixture of ezetimibe in the monitored tablet, after 24 h more than 70% of ezetimibe changed to the hydrated form. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.
