Yes / Spurred by the enormous interest in co-crystals from the pharmaceutical industry, many novel co-crystals of active pharmaceutical ingredients have been discovered in recent years and this has in turn led to an increasing number of reports on polymorphs of co-crystals. Hence, a thorough characterization and understanding of co-crystal polymorphs is a valuable step during drug development. The purpose of this study is to perform in situ structural analysis and to determine thermodynamic stability of a dimorphic co-crystal system, 1:1 caffeine-glutaric acid (CA-GA, Forms I and II). We performed thermal and structural characterizations by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), hot-stage microscopy (HSM), slurry and in situ variable temperature X-ray diffraction (VTXRD). For completeness, we have also re-determined crystal structures of CA-GA Forms I and II at 180 K using single crystal X-ray diffraction. Our results revealed that Form II is stable and Form I is metastable at ambient conditions. Further, the results suggest that the dimorphs are enantiotropically related and the transition temperature is estimated to be 79 Celcius degrees. / This work was supported by Science and Engineering Research Council of A*STAR (Agency for Science, Technology and Research), Singapore.
