1Molecules can arrange themselves in one or more particular ways to form a crystal [blank_start]lattice[blank_end] (3D arrangement of molecules with lots of [blank_start]intermolecular[blank_end] interactions holding the unit cell/crystal together). These different forms are [blank_start]polymorphs[blank_end]. True polymorphs have [blank_start]different[blank_end] 3D arrangements in the crystal lattices and often different [blank_start]melting[blank_end] points; aqueous [blank_start]solubilities[blank_end] & [blank_start]dissolution[blank_end] rates.
- Alattice
- Bintermolecular
- Cpolymorphs
- Ddifferent
- Emelting
- Fsolubilities
- Gdissolution
2Metastable forms are more stable than stable forms, hence moisture or heat can change stable forms into metastable forms.
- ATrue
- BFalse
3Metastable polymorphs have higher energy than the stable polymorph.
- ATrue
- BFalse
4A metastable form may have [blank_start]higher[blank_end] solubility ([blank_start]kinetic or metastable[blank_end] solubility) than the most stable form ([blank_start]equilibrium[blank_end] solubility)
- Ahigher
- Blower
- Ckinetic or metastable
- Dequilibrium
5Choose the incorrect statement.
- AMetastable forms are less stable than stable forms.
- BStable forms are more soluble than metastable forms.
- CMetastable forms dissolute faster than stable forms.
6Sometimes it is possible to make a “saturated” solution using a [blank_start]metastable[blank_end] polymorph, but eventually the [blank_start]stable[blank_end] polymorph may crystallise. The concentration in solution will then will drop to the [blank_start]equilibrium[blank_end] solubility. As a solid [blank_start]crystallises[blank_end] from solution, often it first crystallises as a [blank_start]metastable form[blank_end] which may then change to a more stable form.
- Ametastable
- Bstable
- Cequilibrium
- Dcrystallises
- Emetastable form
7A co-crystal is an API with another substance (another [blank_start]API[blank_end] or [blank_start]other substance[blank_end]) often leading to [blank_start]increase[blank_end] in solubility, dissolution rate & [blank_start]bioavailability[blank_end].
- AAPI
- Bother substance
- Cincrease
- Dbioavailability
8[blank_start]Pseudo[blank_end] (false) polymorphs are those drugs which are [blank_start]solvated[blank_end] eg with water, ethanol, acetone, etc. A solvate with water is a [blank_start]hydrate[blank_end].
- Asolvated
- Bhydrate
- CPseudo
9Choose the incorrect statement.
- AProtection from moisture & storage at temperatures
at usual room temperature or less would be beneficial to prevent changes to a stable form. - BInhibitory polymers could be included in a tablet
formulation to prevent changes to a stable form. - CAll metastable polymorphs show great tendency to change form.
- AProtection from moisture & storage at temperatures
