Abstract

The X-ray crystal structure of temozolomide hydrochloride shows that the dihydrate salt contains one neutral temozolomide, one temozolomide-H+Cl, one H3O+·Cl, and three water molecules. This is the first crystallographic evidence of a protonated form of the antitumour drug temozolomide. The protonation of water O and imidazole N of the drug are rationalized by calculated pKas.
