Abstract

Thermal analysis is a valuable method in pharmaceutical research. A wide range of thermal methods are used in drug development like thermogravimetry (TG), diffe­rential thermal analysis (DTA), differential scanning calori­metry (DSC) and other sensitive and specific methods. The present review deals with application of these me­thods in characterization of drugs and excipients, such as their polymorph stability, glass transition temperature, purity analysis and compatibility of drugs.
