Information about the stability of drug components and drug formulations is needed to predict the shelf-life of the final products. The studies on the interaction between the drug and the excipients may be carried out by means of accelerated stability tests followed by analytical determination of the active principle (HPLC and other methods) and by means of the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). This research has been focused to the acetyl salicylic acid (ASA) physical-chemical characterisation by using DSC method in order to evaluate its compatibility with some of the most used excipients. It was possible to show, with the DSC method, the incompatibility of magnesium stearate with ASA; the HPLC data confirm the reduction of ASA concentration in the presence of magnesium stearate. With the other excipients the characteristic endotherms of the drug were always present and no or little degradation was observed with the accelerated stability tests. Therefore, the results with the DSC method are comparable and in good agreement with the results obtained with other methods.
