โฆ Synopsis
Ahatraet-Fourier transform (lT)-Raman spectroscopy, utilizing a near-infrared (Nd:YAG laser, at 1.064pm) source was used to characterise the three anhydrous polymorphic forms A, B and C of the drug cimetidine (N"-cyano-N-methyl-N'-[2-[(5-methyl-l~-imidaxol-4-yl) methylthio]ethyl]guanidine). The FT-Raman spectra were free from fluorescence interference and had good signal-to-noise ratios. Each polymorph has a distinct spectrum, characterised by two regions, 1250-105Ocm-' and 1500-135Ocm-'. This work demonstrates that it is possible to use FT-Raman spectroscopy to differentiate between polymorphic forms of the same compound.
