Quantitative and molecular analysis of buspirone hydrochloride polymorphs.
Quantitative and molecular analysis have been performed on two main polymorphs of buspirone hydrochloride (BUS-HCl). Quantitative analysis of solid-state composition of pharmaceutical powders is necessary to ensure safety and efficacy of drug substance and to validate the production processes. In this study, X-ray powder diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry have been used for the quantitative analysis of two polymorphic forms of BUS-HCl. In addition, single crystal X-ray study of Form 1 revealed its crystal structure, however, a similar study on Form 2 was not possible due to the difficulties encountered in producing it. Molecular analysis including partial charge analysis has been performed by using Gaussian simulation package to find the electro-negativity pattern in molecule. 1H and 13C solid-state NMR spectra of polymorphs were recorded and also regression equations and QM theory were developed to predict the 1H and 13C NMR spectra through the use of atomic environmental descriptors. The NMR differences between the two polymorphs were discussed by using prediction and experimental results and description of each NMR shift for carbon and hydrogen atoms.
