Solution-Mediated Polymorphic Transformation: Form II to Form III Piracetam in Organic Solvents

No / The solution-mediated polymorphic transformation from Form II to Form III 2-oxo-1-pyrrolidine acetamide (piracetam) was investigated in seven organic solvents over the temperature range of 5–50 °C. The transformation rate increased as a function of temperature, agitation, and the solubility of piracetam in the host solvent. However, this trend was reversed in 2-propanol. Molecular modeling demonstrated that 2-propanol forms interactions with piracetam molecules in solution stronger than those formed by other solvents, thereby retarding the nucleation and growth of FIII(6.525) during the transformation in this solvent. / SFI
