Abstract: Drug polymorphism is an important factor affecting the drugs quality and clinical efficacy.
Therefore, great attention should be paid to the crystal analysis of drugs with their researching
and evaluating part. With the booming development of Raman spectroscopy in recent years, more
and more crystal analysis investigations were based on vibrational spectroscopy. This review mainly
discussed the qualitative and quantitative analysis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and
pharmaceutical preparation with Raman spectroscopy. On basis of the determination of the vibration
mode of drug molecules and the analysis of their chemical structure, this method had the advantages
of universal, non-destructive, fast determination, low samples and cost, etc. This review
provides theoretical and technical support for crystal structure, which are worth popularizing. It is
expected that it will be helpful to relevant government management institutions, pharmaceutical scientific
research institutions and pharmaceutical manufacturers.
