Abstract:

The structure of cocrystal between olmesartan and benzoic acid was deterimined via terahertz time-domain spectroscopy(THz-TDS) technique and density functional theory(DFT). Experimental results show that all of them have distinctive and different fingerprint spectra in the THz region. The absorption peaks of olmesartan were at 0.53, 0.98, 1.09 THz and the absorption peaks of benzoic acid were at 0.65, 0.89, 1.10 THz. Characteristic bands observing in the terahertz spectra of cocrystal were at 0.64 and 1.33 THz, which were greatly different from corresponding raw starting materials. According to the structural characteristic of olmesartan molecule, density functional theory(DFT) program was used to simulate molecular structures and corresponding frequencies of olmesartan and three possible cocrystal forms considering the position of hydrogen bond formation between olmesartan and benzoic acid. The theoretical result showed that simulated olmesartan molecule had absorption peaks at 0.76, 1.05 and 1.27 THz, which was agreement with the THz experimental result. In addition, the theoretical results of three possible simulated cocrystal structures showed that FormⅠof simulated cocrystal was much better agreement with the experimental result than others. Therefore, the structure of cocrystal was confirmed that the first hydrogen bond was formed between amino group of olmesartan and hydroxyl group of benzoic acid, while the second one was formed between nitrogen atom of five nitrogen ring in olmesartan and carbonyl group of benzoic acid. The characteristic absorption bands of cocrystal between olmesartan and benzoic acid were also assigned based on the simulation results of DFT calculation.
