Manufacturing of an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient
• Formulation: fumarate salt ofAPI
• Normally of white appearance, but some batches yellow
• Specific surface area (gSSA)with low, medium, and highspecific energy inputs (SEI)
• Strong connection between colour and mechanical properties forthe material
• Mechanical milling of material with discoloured surfaces was verydifficult at laboratory scale, and not possible at plant scale

Origin of surface colour - conventional techniques provide no answer
• Two functional groups containing nitrogen in the API• One nitrogen group is protonated in the salt (white)• Yellow colour suggestive of free base of the API (no salt)• Validation difficult; conventional techniques tried
X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD) - slight evidence of amorphous material(halo)
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) - No second order events wereobserved to support XRPD result
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) – no differences in chemicalpurity
Confocal Raman microscopy – no difference
Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) IR – no difference
