Effect of ball milling on the physicochemical properties
The purposes of this study were to clarify the amorphization by ball milling of atorvastatin calcium sesquihydrate (AT) and to analyse the change in dissolution kinetics. Methods The amorphous AT was prepared from crystal AT by ball milling and analysed in terms of the changes of its physicochemical properties by powder Xray diffraction analysis (XRD), thermal analysis and infrared spectroscopy (IR).
