Polymorphism: From Material Science to a Pillar of Pharmaceutical Development​

Polymorphism was once a topic reserved for materials scientists—but that changed dramatically in 1998 with the high-profile case of Ritonavir, where a sudden polymorphic transformation caused the drug to fail dissolution tests, leading to a product recall. Since then, polymorphism has become a cornerstone of pharmaceutical development, triggering countless studies across the industry.​

At the forefront of this transformation is our expert, Dr. Ravikiran, a true pioneer in pharmaceutical polymorphism. With over 50,000 PXRD scans analyzed, numerous publications, and a role as a reviewer for leading pharmaceutical journals, he has solved some of the industry’s most complex solid-state challenges. As an innovator of novel solid forms, his deep expertise helps pharmaceutical teams navigate the fine line between compliance, performance, and innovation.
