Ethambutol dibenzoate trimorphs

Ethambutol dibenzoate trimorphs

Cherukuvada and Nangia report the first example of polymorphism in ionic liquids.  Three polymorphs of ethambutol dibenzoate were crystallized as ionic liquids and characterized.  15N NMR spectroscopy was used to identify the three polymorphs and their stability was investigated with the use of DSC and other experiments.  The polymorphic transformations from forms 1 to 3 were also investigated by PXRD.   Further work on crystallization and characterization will prove useful for new pharmaceutical formulations.
