Popis: In this Perspective, the authors have examined various principles associated with the isothermal crystallization of organic molecules from the amorphous state. The major objective was to better understand the underlying principles influencing long-term crystallization from the glassy state at temperatures sufficiently low enough to prevent crystallization over a period of about 2-3 years; this time frame was chosen based on the requirements for ensuring the physical stability of solid drug products. As such, after considering the general thermodynamic, dynamic (molecular mobility), and structural properties of both supercooled liquids and glasses, current understanding from the literature of overall crystallization, nucleation and growth from glasses, was reviewed. Typically, in attempting to establish the appropriate storage temperature
