Abstract

Polydatin is a natural product used for anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor purposes, and often added in medicine, nutraceutical, cosmetics, and dietary supplement. Polymorphism is a key feature of solid-state pharmaceutical products. Polymorphic modifications may exhibit different physical and chemical properties. Here we report two different polymorphs, and the amorphous form of Polydatin. Polymorphs were prepared in binary solvent system. The crystal structures of the two forms were revealed for the first time. The structure and 3D packing were determined with single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The batch consistency and stability were identified with Powder X-ray diffraction analysis. Various functional groups present in the polymorphs were analyzed with fourier transform infrared spectroscopic method. The thermal properties were investigated with DSC and TGA. HPLC-MS was used for the pharmacokinetic study. Results show that form B has the faster absorption, and can be maintained in animal bodies for a longer time than form A.
