【 摘 要 】

Solvate formation of bis(demethoxy)curcumin (BDMC) was screened. Six solvates were obtained out of the nineteen solvents investigated. In the present work, three solvates, i.e., BDMC-tetrahydrofuran (THF), BDMC-1,4-dioxane (DIO) and BDMC-dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), were thoroughly studied. Their desolvation processes were characterized by temperature-resolved powder X-ray diffraction (TR-PXRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and hot-stage microscopy (HSM). TR-PXRD shows that all the solvates desolvate as the mother BDMC form and no new polymorph could be obtained. The stoichiometric ratio of solvates was calculated via the mass loss of solvents determined by TGA. The thermal stabilities of the solvates were obtained from DSC data and followed the order: BDMC-DMSO > -THF > -DIO. Moreover, stability performances at ambient storage conditions recorded by PXRD show that BDMC-DMSO was stable over three months.
