Dehydrated phase resistant to transformation to other forms upon exposure to 50 °C

Is the isomorphic desolvate, physically stable in the timescales of our interest?

18

GBN form I - Isomorphic Desolvate

• Gabapentin hydrate converts to an anhydrous phase when allowed

to slowly dehydrate under ambient conditions

• TGA confirms dehydration - no appreciable changes in PXRD -

SSNMR distinguishes form I from the dehydrated phase

• Hydrate present in solid dosage form may convert to anhydrate

with subsequent release of water

• Possibility of isomorphic desolvate also indicated by variable

temperature XRD where the ‘hydrate pattern’ persists above the

temperature of complete dehydration in TGA

19

Variable Temperature XRD

20

Proposed phase transformations during heating of GBN monohydrate

Variable Temperature XRD - GBN form I

21

• Form I dehydrates at elevated temperatures to a mixture of

polymorphs- form II, III and isomorphic desolvate

• PXRD pattern of form I persists above temperature of complete

dehydration in TGA – Indicative of isomorphic desolvate

• Though dehydration at such elevated temperatures may not be directly

relevant pharmaceutically, dehydration of form I over long term storage

or processing and under conditions of low water vapor pressure may

yield a mixture of polymorphic forms in the final product

Variable Temperature XRD - GBN form I

22

Wet massing followed by drying

23

In situ granule drying in XRD

• Gabapentin form II was wet granulated with water – wet mass

was filled into XRD holder and subjected to isothermal hold -

35 or 45 ° for about 3 hours.

– XRD was recorded at various time points

– TGA was performed on the resulting mass after ‘drying’ in XRD

• Form I and isomorphic desolvate can form during processing

(granulation) of GBN

• PXRD is not a reliable indicator of phase composition because of its

inability to distinguish between the two forms

• The total water content may not be a reliable quality control

attribute. The mobility and distribution of water (lattice/free) may

be the critical determinants of product performance.

• In a formulation matrix, TGA and other characterization techniques

will have limited utility for obtaining phase information
