MULTIPLICIDADE ESTRUTURAL DO PARACETAMOL NO ESTADO SÓLIDO

Abstract

The theme of this study focused on polymorphisms of Paracetamol in the solid state. So, before the constant use of Paracetamol in Pharmacology and Chemistry in general, it justify studies that more about, its composition and its variations in the solid state. It is concluded that the technical analysis of polymorphism of the drug Paracetamol, as well as others, shows different structural aspects, and dynamic energy of the substance in the solid state. There are different techniques employed, such as Crystallography, Spectroscopy, Thermal Analysis and Microscopy. This study was important to verify the existence of polymorphisms that can be formed during the last stage of the development of a compound. Thus, the presence of polymorphism is a major source of variation in the behavior of dissolution of drugs, and the influence on the dissolution rate is determined by changes in the solubility of the different polymorphous. Any change in the way of crystallization can also change the bioavailability, chemical stability and physical development and have implications for the pharmaceutical form. It is finally concluded that technological factors such as the use of solvents to the crystallization, precipitation, process of compression and reducing the size of particles are of great importance in the polymorphic transition of drugs. If, at the time of formulation, it is not verified wich polymorphous can be used, it s possible to obtain a product ineffective due to the involvement of the dissolution of the active principle and hence its bioavailability.
