Acitretin is a second-generation retinoid and a metabolite of etretinate. While effective for severe psoriasis, its physical properties are highly dependent on the crystallization process. Because different crystalline structures (polymorphs) can change the drug’s solubility and shelf-life, precise characterization is essential for regulatory compliance and patient safety ( ResearchGate ). 2. Characterization of Polymorphic Forms

Researchers using X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and thermal analysis have identified three primary forms: 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

: Form I can be quantitatively converted into Form II. AI responses may include mistakes

: The standard material deposited in the European Pharmacopoeia. It consists of four crystallographically independent molecules arranged in pairs via hydrogen-bonded carboxylic dimers ( ResearchGate ).

: 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 winding around a short monoclinic axis.

: Also features carboxylic dimers but is located on crystallographic inversion centers.
