www.ccdc .cam.ac .uk The Cambridge Structural Database Solid Form Suite The CSD Solid Form Suite provides knowledge-based informatics tools for improving effectiveness, quality and risk assessment in the development of solid formulations of drugs, agrochemicals and molecular materials. Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre Solid Form Informatics Enabling the rational design of solid forms based on the knowledge contained within more than 600,000 crystal structures. • Solid Form Informatics: Solid Form Informatics supports key decisions [1] about development routes of solid formulations of drugs, agrochemicals and molecular materials. It provides knowledge-based assessment of potential polymorphism and associated manufacturing risks, as well as information vital to reformulation and the tuning of property profiles [2]. Solid Form Informatics distils the vast amount of structural data available today into targeted and actionable information [3]. It is poised to become a powerful new asset supporting a Quality by Design approach [4] and its adoption can help significantly reduce the risk of late stage failure that has been so costly to the industry. • Addressing development needs: Developed with a consortium of major pharmaceutical and agrochemical companies, the CSD Solid Form Suite includes predictive analytics methods that exploit the vast wealth of structural knowledge in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) [5]. The CSD Solid Form Suite is designed to integrate neatly into a lab chemist's workflow and presents results in a form that supports form screening, selection and polymorphism risk assessment. • Predictive analytics: Given the millions of intermolecular interactions contained within the CSD and broad coverage of relevant pharmaceutical structures, it has become possible to derive quantitative and actionable information for substance development and risk assessment [3]. This advance is based on the combination of large datasets and predictive analytics methods i.e. the likelihood of a certain behaviour predicted from an analysis of recorded behaviour. The technique puts key figures of merit regarding development risks into the hands of scientists and project managers and is qualitatively different to pure database searches, which provide interesting insights but lack the statistical rigour required for risk assessment. • The CCDC archived the 600,000th crystal structure to the CSD in January 2012. The histogram shows the growth of the CSD from 1970 to present. Each crystal structure undergoes extensive validation ensuring that the CSD is maintained to the highest possible standards. The Cambridge Structural Database: Established in 1965, the CSD [5] is the world’s repository for small-molecule organic and metal-organic crystal structures. Containing the results of over 600,000 X-ray and neutron diffraction experiments this unique database of accurate 3D structures has become an essential resource to scientists around the world. Polymorphism Risk Assessment Polymorphism risk assessment based on a statistical analysis of hydrogen bonding patterns. H-bond propensity output chart for omeprazole. The observed structure (shown in pink) is found to be the best in terms of both propensity and participation. It is also well separated from other possible structures, indicating that it is unlikely that competitive polymorphs exist. • Quantifying the risk of polymorphism: The Hydrogen Bond Propensity tool helps scientists to quantify the risk of polymorphism allowing them to make informed decisions on which crystalline form to develop. The tool, applied to known crystal structures and even 2D renditions of a molecular structure, can advance the experimental screening and selection of drug crystal forms, the first step towards ensuring Quality by Design. • H-bond propensity: Probabilities for hydrogen bond pairings to form in the target system are calculated from a statistical model built from relevant structures in the CSD. The model [6-8] encapsulates information regarding the environment of the functional groups, ensuring the prediction is specific to the target molecule. Combining these propensities for hydrogen bond formation with information about how often a functional group participates in an H-bond allows the in-silico generation of chemically reasonable alternative crystal forms. The resultant view of the solid state landscape addresses questions such as: how likely is polymorphism, and is there the possibility of a more stable form? www.ccdc .cam.ac .uk Stability Better understand the stability of your active ingredient by analysing CSD information. Results of a crystal packing similarity search on the carbamazepine family. Only 2 molecules in CBMZPN01 • Find similar structures: By interrogating the world’s repository of crystal structure data, you can find and compare other known structures containing the compound(s) in your crystal form such as polymorphs, hydrates, solvates, salts and co-crystals. The structures of closely related chemical analogues can also be easily located via substructure-based and chemical similarity searching. • Understand molecular geometry: Pre-computed knowledge-based libraries of structural information [9] can be used to rapidly validate the complete geometry of your structure and identify any unusual or strained features without the need to construct complex search queries, or carry out detailed data analyses. An appreciation of the conformational preferences of your compound will aid the understanding and control of its solid-state behaviour. • Explore interaction patterns: By identifying and exploring networks of intermolecular contacts you will gain an understanding of the key interactions that drive crystal packing in your structure. The strengths and weaknesses of structures can be assessed by searching for extended functional group interaction motifs quickly and easily [10]. Determine which functional groups in your molecule are most likely to pair up based on frequency of occurrence of motifs in the CSD. Investigate alternative interaction patterns that might be available in other crystal forms (e.g. polymorphs, hydrates and co-crystals). • Compare packing patterns: The CSD Solid Form Suite enables you to quantify similarity and differences between polymorphs, hydrates and solvates. You can easily find groups of similar structures amongst families of polymorphs and multicomponent systems [11]. Regions of structural similarity can be identified by flexibly searching for any arrangement of atoms or functional groups in 3D space using a crystal structure as a template and finding the most closely matched structures.

White Papers, Case Studies & Further Information White papers introducing the benefits of adopting an informatics approach to solid form design are available from the CCDC website. A range of case studies and recorded webinars illustrating how the CSD Solid Form Suite can be applied to a diverse range of development problems, including analysis of polymorphism, co-crystallisation and hydrate formation, are also available.
