Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymorphism is the ability of solids to be able to exist in two or more crystalline forms with different arrangements in the crystal lattice. Polymorphic forms of a drug differ in the physicochemical properties such as dissolution and solubility, chemical and physical stability, flowability and hygroscopicity and, hence, differ in various important drug outcomes, such as drug efficacy, bioavailability, and even toxicity. Polymorphic studies are important as a particular polymorph can be responsible for a particular property which might not be exhibited by any other form. In this Special Issue, we would like to invite the authors who can write their results, or review in the direction research scope such as polymorphism, applications in pharmaceuticals drugs and challenges, manufacturing of drugs. Hence we like to have researchers contribution in this scope.
