An unprecedented case of dodecamorphism: the twelfth polymorph of aripiprazole formed by seeding with its active metabolite

Abstract

A new polymorph of aripiprazole has been discovered, making it the most polymorphic drug to date with twelve reported anhydrous forms, and a record-breaking ninth solved crystal structure. The new form was induced by seeding with crystals of the active metabolite dehydro-aripiprazole.
