Resumen
Praziquantel (PZQ) is a highly effective low-cost anthelmintic agent used as the first-choice treatment against schistosomiasis. The low solubility of the active is a major drawback for pharmaceutical formulation. A valid approach of the pharmaceutical industry for the improvement of the pharmacotechnical features of the active principles (such as solubility, processability, stability, among others), is the preparation of new solid forms, such as salts, polymorph, and pseudo-polymorph. Herein we report the preparation and characterization of a new solid form PZQ. The PZQ monohydrate (PZQ-MH) was prepared by a solventless procedure from the commercial racemate and the product was characterized at the solid-state employing optical digital microscopy, thermal methods (melting point, differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis), as well as and mid-infrared and near infrared spectroscopies. The chemical structure and content of water were full assessed by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in solution. The amount of water in PZQ-was also determined by different approaches, including thermogravimetric analysis and the loss on drying test. Solid-state 13C NMR (ssNMR) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) completed the structural characterization of the new monohydrate. PZQ-MH showed a crystalline behavior during XRPD experiments and showed relevant differences in spectroscopic, calorimetric, ssNMR and XRPD signals when it was compared with the known crystal (Form A) and amorphous forms of PZQ. The determination of the intrinsic dissolution rate (IDR) of PZQ-MH was carried out as a functional characterization, observing that the new form had slightly higher IDR than Form A.
