Abstract
Single-crystal structures of fingolimod hydrochloride (FTY 720), a block-buster multiple sclerosis drug, were revealed for the first time in this study. Three different conformational polymorphs (designated as forms I–III) were characterized using a variety of analytical techniques, including single-crystal XRD, VT-PXRD, DSC, HSM, and VT-confocal Raman spectroscopy. A temperature-dependent solid–solid transformation between different conformational polymorphs was observed to be reversible, and the transition process was studied using both VT-PXRD and VT-Raman techniques. Structural analysis revealed that the FTY 720 molecules adopt distinctive conformations in different polymorphs. Single-crystal to single-crystal transformation from form I to II was observed and was closely monitored by X-ray diffraction.
