Sulfamethazine Cocrystal Formation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The sulfamethazine and the acid
conformers used in this study were
purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Co. Each cocrystal was prepared by dissolving
sulfamethazine (278 mg, 1 mmol) in reagent-grade methanol (25 mL)
and to it the respective carboxylic acid (1 mmol) was added and stirred
so that a clear solution was observed. In each case the reaction mixture
was filtered after stirring for half an hour using Whatman filter
paper to remove residue (if any). The transparent solution thus obtained
in each case was kept independently undisturbed inside fume-hood to
slowly evaporate at 25 °C. The crystals were allowed to form
in the solution in an undisturbed manner until the volume of the solution
became 3 mL (approximately) in each case, which was completed in 6–7
days. The yields of crystals are listed in the Supporting Information. The complete removal of the solvent
did not increase the yield of the highly pure crystals; hence, optimum
residual solvent in each solution was required to get highly pure
and suitably diffracting crystals.

The details of these pharmaceutical compounds are given in Table S1. The pharmaceutical compounds measured in this study were selected because of their high detection frequencies in previous studies [57 ]. Isotopically labeled internal standards (ISs), including tert-butylamine (TBL), sulfamethoxazole-d4 (SMZ-d4), and ibuprofen-d3 (IBP-d3), were purchased from Toronto Research Chemicals (Oakville, ON, Canada). HPLC grade solvents such as methanol and acetonitrile, and Na2-EDTA (analytical grade) were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich. Reagent water was prepared by Milli-Q water purification system (Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA). Individual stock solutions of each compound were prepared in methanol; standard mixtures were prepared by diluting the stock solution and stored in the dark at –20 °C. All glassware were baked at 250 °C overnight in the oven, and rinsed with methanol prior to use.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
