The stability of these forms is sensitive to temperature and pressure:
: Form I can be quantitatively converted into Form II.
: Exhibits a unique "catameric" arrangement where carboxylic residues form one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded chains, winding around a short monoclinic axis. 3. Thermal Stability and Phase Conversion 54757.rar

: These findings suggest that the manufacturing environment (heat and solvent choice) directly determines which form of the drug is produced. 4. Conclusion
: Also features carboxylic dimers but is located on crystallographic inversion centers. 54757.rar
Acitretin (54757-46-9) is an oral retinoid utilized for treating severe dermatological conditions. Recent structural studies have identified at least three distinct polymorphic phases (Forms I, II, and III). Understanding these polymorphs is critical for pharmaceutical stability and bioavailability. This paper summarizes the structural differences between these forms and the thermal conditions required for phase transition. 1. Introduction
