Popis: The local anesthetic drug tetracaine hydrochloride is described in the Europ. Pharmacopea with a melting point of 148°C or with a range of 134 to 147°C due to the melting points of two other forms. The polymorphic behaviour of tetracaine hydrochloride has been studied by using thermal treatments, storage at 92% r.h., crystallizations and equilibrations with saturated solutions. Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, IR, thermal analysis and elemental analysis. Since some findings were difficult to interpret, temperature resolved X-ray diffraction was used additionally for the understanding of the thermal behaviour of tetracaine hydrochloride. In this study the polymorphic behaviour of some other local anesthetic drugs is compared.
