Evaluating the stability of drugs over ranges of various environmental conditions is necessary to ensure the quality of the drug throughout the shelf life. In this study, we used indomethacin, which is well known as a photosensitive drug, and evaluated the photostability of prepared crystals. HPLC analysis revealed that all the indomethacin crystals were degraded by light exposure. However, the indomethacin crystals involving solvates had different degrees of photodegradation and different solid-state UV/Vis spectra. The value of the absorption integral in the UVA range related closely to the photodegradation of indomethacin crystals involving solvates. Therefore, it is easy to compare the photosensitivity among the crystals without actual analytical data, by use of a suitable analytical method and using light exposure samples. Moreover, it is possible to predict the value of photodegradation ratio from the solid-state UV/Vis spectra of indomethacin crystals. Therefore, this method may provide key information for selecting the most appropriate crystal form of photosensitive drugs.
