Abstract: We report the application of supramolecular gel and microemulsion droplet crystallisation methodologies to isoniazid crystallization. Tailored gelators have been designed with isoniazid mimetic functionality in an attempt to control crystal morphology and polymorphic behaviour. Microemulsion crystallisation was investigated to achieve thermodynamic control over drug crystallisation. Both techniques resulted in only a single form of isoniazid implying that it is genuinely monomorphic.
