The invention relates to a
crystal (type M) of
febuxostat, a preparation method and an application in medicaments. The reflected angle 2theta of the
crystal X-
ray powder diffraction pattern has characteristic absorption peak at about 2.95 degrees, 5.84 degrees, 11.19 degrees, 14.04 degrees, 14.54 degrees, 16.75 degrees, 18.47 degrees, 20.81 degrees, 22.72 degrees, 24.34 degrees and 25.62 degrees, wherein the reflected angle 2theta has three strongest peaks at 11.19 degrees, 2.98 degrees and 5.84 degrees; in an
infrared spectrum pattern, the characteristic absorption peak occurs at about 3425cm<1>, 2964cm<1>, 2873cm<1>, 1689cm<1>, 835cm<1>, 815cm<1>, 765cm<1> and 729cm<1>; the particle
diameter measured with a
laser diffraction method ranges from 0.5 mu m to 50 mu m, the counting particle
diameter D90 is less than 40 mu m and the average particle
diameter is less than 20 mu m. The
crystal can be obtained by recrystalling the
febuxostat with
toluene; the crystal and pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliary parts can form the useable corresponding medicinal preparation with satisfactory dissolving rate; the
dissolution of a tablet in
phosphate buffer solution medium with the pH value of 7.2 is greater than or equal to 45% within five minutes and greater than or equal to 95% within 35 minutes.
