By use of X-ray diffractometry, thermal analysis and infrared spectroscopy, the crystal forms of N-(2, 6-dimethylphenyl)-Δ8-dihydroabietamide were investigated. Two polymorphic forms (form I and II), two solvates (cyclohexane and CCl4), and an amorphous form were identified. Heating of form II induced a solid transformation to form I. The transition of form I and II to the amorphous form was observed by grinding. Each solvate contained 9.0% cyclohexane and 16.0% CCl4 respectively, i.e., drug : solvent=2 : 1. The activation energy of the desolvation was determined from TG curves by using Ozawa's method, and calculated as 72.2 kcal/mol for the cyclohexar solvente, and 35.5 kcal/mol for the CCl4 solvate.
