Abstract :

In pharmaceutics field many drugs are available in crystalline solid form for oral dosage due to its chemical stability, storage and easy handling. This paper deals the crystalline form of an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) of Paracetamol and Aspirin by slow evaporation technique using ethanol as a solvent to analyze and compare its physicochemical properties. Good quality of bio medical drug crystals was grown within three weeks and its stability was analyzed by thermal studies. The unit cell parameters of the grown crystals were determined by single crystal and powder X-Ray diffraction studies. Complete vibrational assignment of the various functional groups present in the crystalline drug substance was identified by FTIR studies. Optical and dielectric studies were also carried out to the grown crystals. It is found that both the APIs are crystallized well and it belongs to thermodynamically stable form of monoclinic system.
