Popis: A case study highlighting the risk of generating undesired hydrate polymorph following seeded distillative crystallization of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) from aqueous alcoholic solution and a strategy to overcome the issue is presented. The API salt had two known crystalline forms, the desired anhydrate Form A, and hydrate Form B. Importance of water content at the time of seeding to minimize the risk of precipitation of From B is emphasized. A novel approach termed distillative pathway diagram (DPD) was developed to assess the risk of generation of Form B at larger scales. The application of this diagram to determine process parameters to address form issues during distillative crystallization is explained. Given the likely risk of Form B precipitation predicted by DPD, an alternate non-aqueous antisolvent crystallization process was developed that provided both form and particle size control.
