Given that a high percentage of all drugs are formulated in solid dosage form, the need to understand, control and characterise the individual forms of a drug substance, particular the polymorphic form, is vital. Each polymorph displays unique physicochemical properties that can affect bioavailability, manufacturability, stability and other performance characteristics of the drug.

Similarly, production of bulk chemicals can often be hampered by poor process behaviour of key intermediates. Appropriate polymorphic form selection with desirable properties (e.g. for filtration) can be of huge benefit to process efficiency and/or purity.

As the pharmaceutical industry continues to face an increasingly challenging regulatory climate, solid-state issues, particularly polymorphism plays an important part in Intellectual Property (IP) strategy throughout a drug's life-cycle.
