Resumo
O refinamento de estruturas cristalinas pelo método de Rietveld (MR) consiste em ajustar um modelo estrutural a uma medida de difração. Essa é uma ferramenta eficiente para identificação e quantificação de estruturas polimórficas presentes em fármacos e excipientes. Uma forma avançada do método é o refinamento sequencial por Rietveld (RSR) que visa, a partir de um conjunto de difratogramas de uma mesma amostra, estudar o comportamento do material em função de uma variável externa (e.g. temperatura, pressão, tempo ou ambiente químico). No presente trabalho, com o objetivo de estudar as transições polimórficas e as expansões/contrações dos parâmetros de cela unitária (PCU) dos insumos farmacêuticos: espironolactona (SPR), lactose monoidratada (LACMH) e lactose anidra (LACA), empregou-se o RSR em medidas obtidas em diferentes temperaturas. O RSR foi eficiente para que os PCU fossem refinados até temperaturas próximas ao ponto de fusão dos materiais. Após o RSR, a partir da análise matemática dos PCU obtidos, foram propostas funções que regem a tendência desses parâmetros quando submetidos à variação de temperatura. Com essas funções modelaram-se os PCU em uma outra modalidade de refinamento, o refinamento paramétrico por Rietveld (RPR), assim, os PCU seguem a modelagem imposta pelas equações obtidas via RSR. O RPR mostrou-se mais eficiente nas análises, o que evitou perda de fases ou problemas de ajustes, resultando assim em informações mais precisas do sistema. Embora o RSR e RPR serem métodos sofisticados para a caracterização dos materiais, a preparação das rotinas de programação dos refinamentos não é trivial, assim, nesse trabalho desenvolveu-se uma planilha (i.e. planilha SP-DLT) que facilita o emprego dos métodos. A planilha mostrou-se eficiente e rápida para programar todas as rotinas de refinamentos apresentadas nesse trabalho. Com os estudos dos insumos farmacêuticos observou-se que na amostra SPR a forma I, com o aumento da temperatura, se converte para forma II. A alfalactose monoidratada sofre desidratação e se converte para alfalactose, na amostra LACMH, e para betalactose, na amostra LACA. E, ainda com aumento de temperatura, a betalactose não sofre mudança de fase polimórfica. Assim, entende-se que o meio pode causar influência na rota de transição polimórfica.
The crystal structural refinement by the Rietveld method (MR) consists of fitting a structural model to a diffraction measure. This is an efficient tool for identification and quantification of polymorphic structures present in drugs and excipients. An advanced way to use this method is the Sequential Rietveld Refinement (RSR), which aims, from a set of data of the same sample, to study the behavior of the material as a function of an external variable (e.g. temperature, pressure, time or chemical environment). In the present work, with the objective of studying the polymorphic transitions and the expansions / contractions of the unit cell parameters (PCU) of the pharmaceutical ingredients: spironolactone (SPR), lactose monohydrate (LACMH) and anhydrous lactose (LACA), the RSR in measurements obtained at different temperatures. The RSR was efficient so that the PCU were refined to temperatures close to the melting point of the materials. After the RSR, from the mathematical analysis of the obtained PCU, functions were proposed that govern the trend of these parameters when submitted to the temperature variation. With these functions the PCU were modeled in another modality of refinement, the Parametric Rietveld Refinement (RPR), thus, the PCU follow the modeling imposed by the equations obtained via RSR. The RPR was more efficient in the analyzes, which avoided loss of phases or problems of adjustments, resulting in more accurate information of the system. Although RSR and RPR are sophisticated methods for characterization of materials, preparation of refinement programming routines is not trivial, so a spreadsheet (i.e. SP-DLT spreadsheet) has been developed in this paper to facilitate the use of methods. The worksheet proved to be efficient and quick to program all the refinement routines presented in this paper. With the studies of the pharmaceutical inputs it was observed that in the SPR sample, the form I, with the increase in temperature, converts to form II. Alfalactose monohydrate undergoes dehydration and converts to alfalactose in the LACMH sample and to betalactose in the LACA sample. And, even with temperature increase, the betalactose does not undergo polymorphic phase change. Thus, it is understood that the medium may cause influence on the polymorphic transition route.
