The three polymorphs (Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ) and one amorphous (Ⅳ) form of imatinib-oxalate new salt were prepared and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis and infrared spectroscopy, and transformation rules among the four salts were analyzed. The solubility of polymorph Ⅱ was investigated by high performance liquid chromatography. The results show that polymorph Ⅱ was stable but polymorph Ⅰ, Ⅲ and amorphous Ⅳ were unstable at room temperature. Polymorph I transformed into polymorph Ⅱ at room temperature. At relative humidity 90%, polymorph Ⅰ, Ⅱ and amorphous Ⅳ transformed into polymorph Ⅲ, but polymorph Ⅲ transformed into amorphous Ⅳ at 70 ℃. The solubility of imatinib was significantly improved after being salted with oxalic acid, and the equilibrium solubility of polymorph Ⅱ in pH 6.8 buffer solution and pure water was increased by 4.1 and 21.2 fold, respectively, as compared to bulk drug. This research provides guidance for the development and quality control of a new salt form of imatinib.
