Crystal Nucleation
11
➢ Seeded crystallization / crystals needed
➢ Dominant mechanism in industry
➢ Low energy barrier / low supersaturation
➢ Stirred suspensions
➢ Control polymorphism / chirality
➢ High energy barrier, high supersaturation
➢ Generally heterogeneous nucleation
➢ Physical/chemical properties solvent
➢ Influences solid form (chirality, polymorph)
➢ Primary nucleation triggers secondary nucleation
Control primary nucleation → Control secondary nucleation → Control final API

➢ How to obtain a stabilized form which is less brittle than anhydrate?
