- Polymorphic forms of bisoprolol fumarate: Preparation and characterization
-
Bisoprolol fumarate is a beta blocker-type drug substance which has been well known for several decades. However, no relevant data can be found in the literature about its crystal polymorphism. The purpose of this paper was to present two anhydrous forms (Form I and Form II) and a hydrate of bisoprolol fumarate substance. Crystalline forms were studied by various solid-state analytical methods: Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) and thermoanalytical methods (thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry). Thermodynamic stability and solubility of the presented polymorphs were also investigated. Both FT-IR and XRPD methods were found to be suitable for the characterization of the different crystal structures. Thermoanalytical measurements showed that (1) Form I and Form II own clearly different melting points and (2) both Form II and hydrate forms can transform into Form I at higher temperature values. Results of the DVS measurements prove that both Form I and Form II became metastable under extremely humid conditions (> 80% RH) and converted into the hydrate. Thermodynamic stability studies showed that Form I and Form II polymorphs are in enantiotropic relationship with an enantiotropic point at about 40–45?°C. Solubility studies indicated that all of the prepared forms are highly soluble, and no difference was found between them. Considering the recommendations of the corresponding International Conference of Harmonization guideline, it can be stated that no specification is required for crystal polymorphism in case of this substance.

- Controlled release pharmaceutical preparation
-
A controlled release pharmaceutical preparation comprising a core containing a medicinal compound and a coating layer containing a water-repellent salt and a water-insoluble and slightly water-permeable acrylic polymer having trimethylammoniumethyl group. Said preparation releases a medicinal compound in a sigmoid type dissolution pattern irrespective of the PH of a dissolution medium.
