Acyclovir, a guanosine analogue antiviral drug with low solubility of water. Due to its poor solubility and permeability, causes low oral bioavailability. Objective: The aim of this research is to investigate the physical interaction in binary systems acyclovir-succinic acid (AS). Methods: The msystem was prepared by solvent evaporation method. Results: Thermogram Differential Scanning Calorimetry showed endothermic peaks at 172.68oC (ethanol) and 171.84oC (methanol). The Powder X-Ray

Furthermore, physical characterization showed the binary system of AS have unique crystal habit by polarization microscope. Conclusion: New crystalline phase is formed from the interaction between acyclovir and succinic acid by solvent evaporation method using ethanol and methanol.
