Stability case study

Reference standards for macromolecule LBAs are inherently heterogeneous and complex, in contrast to the homogeneity of low molecular weight drugs. This subject is elaborated in Chapter 9, accompanied by a number of illustrative examples. Characterization of USP and non-USP standards is discussed in this chapter in terms of such parameters as purity, potency, and stability. Case studies illustrate the assay effects of variability in reference standard quality.

In the enantiotropic case the relative solubility and stability changes at a specific transition temperature where the two solubility curves cross. A given polymorph may be more soluble (less stable) above the transition point, but less soluble below and vice versa, Figure 4. An example of this relationship is the Form C and A or B relationships for Cimetidine in the case study. 

Cimetidine is known to crystallize in 5 polymorphic forms and 3 hydrated forms [11]. Solubility data is presented in this reference for Forms A, B and C. Form E was not known at the start of the study in reference [11] and Form D could not be crystallized, suggesting that it is less stable than the other forms. This is confirmed by melting point data which indicates the order of thermodynamic stability close to the melting temperature isEmelting point data for the evaluated forms are presented in Table 3. Form A is the commercially available Form and the desired product for this case study. 

The structural constraints used in the first case study namely, Eqn s 27,28 and 29 are used again. The melting point, boiling point and flash point, are used as constraints for both solvent and anti-solvent. Since the solvent needs to have high solubility for solute and the anti-solvent needs to have low solubility for the solute limits of 17 <8 < 19 and 5 > 30 (Eqn s. 33 and 37) are placed on the solubility parameters of solvent and anti-solvents respectively. Eqn.38 gives the necessary condition for phase stability (Bernard et al., 1967), which needs to be satisfied for the solvent-anti solvent pairs to be miscible with each other. Eqn. 39 gives the solid-liquid equilibrium constraint.

Stability constants, from which AG° values are calculated, provide a direct measure of the extent of complexing in solution, and these values have been used to determine cation selectivity by macrocyclic compounds. Several of the methods commonly used to determine log K values cannot be used with many of these systems. Thus, procedures based on change in hydrogen ion concentration (pH titration, hydrogen electrode, etc.) cannot be used in those cases where the ligand is uncharged and its concentration is not pH dependent. Spectral methods generally have not been used because of the usual lack of favorable absorption characteristics by the compounds, cations or cation-complexes in the cases studied.

It is interesting that in the soluble case studied in Section VI a close connection appears between initial value problems of dynamics and boundary value problems for dissipative structures. In discussion of initial value problems the concept of stability plays an important role. Only for simple dynamical systems such as separable systems do we find, in general, stability in the sense that trajectories originating from neighboring points remain close for all times. It would be very interesting to investigate along similar lines the stability of dissipative structures, and... 

As shown in Figure 7.13 the pressure and temperature limits to the hydrate stability exists from the seafloor (because hydrates are less dense than seawater) to the intersection of the geotherm (BGHS). The solubility limit, however, imposes a further depth restriction because the methane concentration must equal the solubility limit to be in equilibrium with hydrates. It is assumed that the sediment provides sufficient nucleation sites so that there is no methane metastability, so hydrate forms in the narrow depth region where methane concentration lies atop the methane solubility line. As illustrated in the Leg 311 case study, the GHOZ is always smaller than the GHSZ.
