The invention relates to
Gemfibrozil polymorphism and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: the
Gemfibrozil is dissolved in a certain amount of a
solvent with
alcohol,
ketone, ester and
ether, and crystallized, filtered and dried to form a
Gemfibrozil crystal form I, and an X-
ray diffraction pattern of the
crystal form I shows characteristic
diffraction peaks at 2 theta (degrees, + / -0.2) 6.32 degrees, 11.52 degrees, 11.89 degrees, 12.69 degrees, 13.45 degrees, 13.83 degrees, 15.02 degrees, 16.65 degrees, 17.14 degrees, 17.39 degrees, 17.99 degrees, 17.27 degrees, 18.78 degrees, 19.13 degrees, 19.79 degrees, 21.95 degrees, 23.27 degrees, 24.23 degrees, 25.12 degrees, 26.92 degrees and 34.94 degrees. The Gemfibrozil polymorphism has the advantages of simple process, good stability of the
crystal forms, and convenient production, transport and storage, being capable of being stored at normal temperature for more than 2 years without change, no decrease of
drug content and completely meeting
drug requirements.
