Pharmaceutical Cocrystals: New Solid Phase Modification Approaches for the Formulation of APIs
Cocrystals can be used as an alternative approach based on crystal engineering to enhance specific physicochemical and biopharmaceutical properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) when the approaches to salt or polymorph formation do not meet the expected targets. In this article, an overview of pharmaceutical cocrystals will be presented, with an emphasis on the intermolecular inte...
متن کاملPreparation, Evaluation and Physicochemical aspects of Tadalafil Co-crystals
The aim of the present work was to prepare and evaluate cocrystals of a 1:1 stoichiometric molar ratio of Tadalafil (TDF). Liquid assisted grinding method was explored and the cocrystals were evaluated for their physicochemical properties, bioavailability and residual solvent study. Their preparation was confirmed and characterized by spectroscopic (FT-IR), crystallographic (XRPD) and thermoana...
متن کاملCocrystals of Hydrochlorothiazide: Optimizing Solubility and Membrane Permeability
Solid state reactions, induced by mechanical energy, liquid-assisted grinding (LAG) and ball milling, have become established methods for the preparation of pharmaceutical cocrystals. Examination of the mechanochemical reaction pathways reveal the existence of different intermediate phases of variable crystallinity. Poor physicochemical properties (solubility and permeability) of active pharmac...
متن کاملMechanochemical Synthesis of Pharmaceutical Cocrystal Suspensions via Hot Melt Extrusion: Feasibility Studies and Physicochemical Characterization.
Engineered cocrystals offer an alternative solid drug form with tailored physicochemical properties. Interestingly, although cocrystals provide many new possibilities, they also present new challenges, particularly in regard to their design and large-scale manufacture. Current literature has primarily focused on the preparation and characterization of novel cocrystals typically containing only ...
متن کاملGreen production of cocrystals using a new solvent-free approach by spray congealing.
Pharmaceutical cocrystals are used as a strategy to overcome poor physicochemical properties of drugs. The use of cocrystals in the pharmaceutical industry remains to be fully exploited due, in part, to the scarcity of suitable large-scale production methods and lack of robust and cost-effective processes. To overcome these challenges, spray congealing was used for the first time in the prepara...
