S. Venkataram et al., DIFFERENTIAL SCANNING CALORIMETRY AS A QUICK SCANNING TECHNIQUE FOR SOLID-STATE STABILITY STUDIES, Drug development and industrial pharmacy, 21(7), 1995, pp. 847-855
The potential compatabilities of various commonly used excipients with
Indomethacin (IMC) were compared using differential scanning calorime
try (DSC). Some agents were found to have no solid state interaction w
hereas others showed major changes in the thermograms signifying possi
ble interactions in the solid state. The results show that DSC can be
employed in preliminary preformulation studies for the evaluation of s
olid state interactions as an aid to excipient selection.
