Abstract
The stability and thermal behaviour of two anhydrate phases and a new
mixed water:DMSO solvate of Olanzapine
(2-methyl4-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-10H-thieno-2,3-b1,5benzodiaz
epine) are studied by different methods: differential scanning
calorimetry (DSC), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and Raman scattering
(RS). Single crystal structural data for the latter phase are presented,
confirming the presence of the (Olanzapine)(2) dimer as the structural
building unit of all known phases of the drug, either anhydrate or
solvated.
An apparent interconversion between both solid state forms is shown to
be an artifact and explained in terms of a melting-recrystallization
process. (C) 2005 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved.
