A novel crystal form of cabergoline, form L.
A new crystal form of cabergoline, form L, was discovered and characterized by thermal analyses, X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), infrared spectroscopy (IR), Raman spectroscopy, dynamic vapor sorption (DVS), and comparative dissolution behavior. The morphology of rod-shaped crystals was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Form L was compared to other non-solvated forms of cabergoline such as form I, II, VII and to the amorphous form. The thermodynamic stability of form L is supported by its long-term stability. Form L is a pharmaceutically applicable crystal form.
