Abstract: 

This paper presents research on the polymorphism of Desloratadine substance, which is an active pharmaceutical ingredient used for the treatment of allergic reactions. Desloratadine has three known polymorphic forms (I-III) simultaneous crystallization of three polymorphs occurs during the substance production. According to the results of our research, Desloratadine polymorphs are prone to polymorphic transitions when external factors change and recrystallization from solvents of various chemical activities. The Desloratadine polymorph II is metastable and is not observed in samples after recrystallization. The solvent affects the polymorphic transitions of the substance. According to our research results, the maximum content of polymorph I was obtained during recrystallization from chloroform (77 mas.%), and for polymorph III – during recrystallization from water (86 mas.%). Pressure and temperature also affect the change in the ratio of polymorphic modifications and the degree of crystallinity in the sample under study.
