Solubility and Stability Advantages of a New Cocrystal of Berberine Chloride with Fumaric Acid.

ABSTRACT: BBC is a drug with a variety of activities but poor solubility. Cocrystal technology is an effective method to improve the solubility and stability of this type of compound. In this work, the cocrystal of BBC with fumaric acid was obtained at a stoichiometric ratio of 2:1. Studies on stabilities and solubilities were carried out using BBC dihydrate and tetrahydrate as reference materials. Results showed that this new cocrystal did not only significantly improve the dissolution rate of BBC but also highly improved the stability in high humidity and temperature. Given that the cocrystals formed by BBC as the host molecule were few, different techniques were applied for characterization and structural analyses. Moreover, theoretical calculations were performed on weak interactions, such as hydrogen bonding and ?-? stacking interactions, which provided the research data for the study of this kind of cocrystal.

Improving the solubility and bioavailability of anti-hepatitis B drug PEC <i>via</i> PEC-fumaric acid cocrystal.

Project description:PEC is a new generation of phosphamide ester anti-hepatitis B virus drug. It is a prodrug of tenofovir and can be rapidly metabolized to tenofovir. However, its poor solubility in water (0.219 mg mL-1 at 25 °C) has limited its oral bioavailability. In this study, we aimed to improve the solubility and consequently the oral bioavailability of PEC via a cocrystal. A cocrystal of PEC with fumaric acid (FUA) (PEC-FUA, 1 : 1) was successfully obtained and characterized. The crystal structure of this cocrystal was tested using a single crystal X-ray diffraction method. The intrinsic dissolution rate (IDR) characterization was performed in a pH 6.8 buffer. The solubility of this cocrystal in 0.1 M HCl (pH 1.0) and pH 6.8 phosphate buffers was investigated, and the results showed that the solubility of the cocrystal was 3.8 and 4.0 times that of free PEC, respectively. We also studied the pharmacokinetics of beagle dogs. The mean AUC0-24 h of the cocrystal is about 4.2 times that of free PEC, indicating that the solubility and bioavailability of PEC can indeed be improved by forming the cocrystal. It may become an ideal solid form of an active pharmaceutical ingredient suitable for pharmaceutical preparations, and it can be further studied later.

Tailoring Chlorthalidone Aqueous Solubility by Cocrystallization: Stability and Dissolution Behavior of a Novel Chlorthalidone-Caffeine Cocrystal.

Project description:A cocrystal of the antihypertensive drug chlorthalidone (CTD) with caffeine (CAF) was obtained (CTD-CAF) by the slurry method, for which a 2:1 stoichiometric ratio was found by powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Cocrystal CTD-CAF showed a supramolecular organization in which CAF molecules are embedded in channels of a 3D network of CTD molecules. The advantage of the cocrystal in comparison to CTD is reflected in a threefold solubility increase and in the dose/solubility ratios, which diminished from near-unit values for D0D to 0.29 for D0CC. Furthermore, dissolution experiments under non-sink conditions showed improved performance of CTD-CAF compared with pure CTD. Subsequent studies showed that CTD-CAF cocrystals transform to CTD form I where CTD precipitation inhibition could be achieved in the presence of pre-dissolved polymer HPMC 80-120 cPs, maintaining supersaturation drug concentrations for at least 180 min. Finally, dissolution experiments under sink conditions unveiled that the CTD-CAF cocrystal induced, in pH-independent manner, faster and more complete CTD dissolution when compared to commercial tablets of CTD. Due to the stability and dissolution behavior of the novel CTD-CAF cocrystal, it could be used to develop solid dosage forms using a lower CTD dose to obtain the same therapeutic response and fewer adverse effects.

Synthesis and Characterization of a New Norfloxacin/Resorcinol Cocrystal with Enhanced Solubility and Dissolution Profile.

Project description:A new cocrystal of Norfloxacin, a poorly soluble fluoroquinolone antibiotic, has been synthetized by a solvent-mediated transformation experiment in toluene, using resorcinol as a coformer. The new cocrystal exists in both anhydrous and monohydrate forms with the same (1:1) Norfloxacin/resorcinol stoichiometry. The solubility of Norfloxacin and the hydrated cocrystal were determined by the shake-flask method. While Norfloxacin has a solubility of 0.32 ± 0.02 mg/mL, the cocrystal has a solubility of 2.64 ± 0.39 mg/mL, approximately 10-fold higher. The dissolution rate was tested at four biorelevant pH levels of the gastrointestinal tract: 2.0, 4.0, 5.5, and 7.4. In a first set of comparative tests, the dissolution rate of Norfloxacin and the cocrystal was determined separately at each pH value. Both solid forms showed the highest dissolution rate at pH 2.0, where Norfloxacin is totally protonated. Then, the dissolution rate decreases as pH increases. In a second set of experiments, the dissolution of the cocrystal was evaluated by a unique dissolution test, in which the pH dynamically changed from 2.0 to 7.4, stepping 30 min at each of the four biorelevant pH values. Results were quite different in this case, since dissolution at pH 2 affects the behavior of Norfloxacin at the rest of the pH values.

Polymorphism of Carbamazepine Pharmaceutical Cocrystal: Structural Analysis and Solubility Performance.

Project description:Polymorphism is a common phenomenon among single- and multicomponent molecular crystals that has a significant impact on the contemporary drug development process. A new polymorphic form of the drug carbamazepine (CBZ) cocrystal with methylparaben (MePRB) in a 1:1 molar ratio as well as the drug's channel-like cocrystal containing highly disordered coformer molecules have been obtained and characterized in this work using various analytical methods, including thermal analysis, Raman spectroscopy, and single-crystal and high-resolution synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction. Structural analysis of the solid forms revealed a close resemblance between novel form II and previously reported form I of the [CBZ + MePRB] (1:1) cocrystal in terms of hydrogen bond networks and overall packing arrangements. The channel-like cocrystal was found to belong to a distinct family of isostructural CBZ cocrystals with coformers of similar size and shape. Form I and form II of the 1:1 cocrystal appeared to be related by a monotropic relationship, with form II being proven to be the thermodynamically more stable phase. The dissolution performance of both polymorphs in aqueous media was significantly enhanced when compared with parent CBZ. However, considering the superior thermodynamic stability and consistent dissolution profile, the discovered form II of the [CBZ + MePRB] (1:1) cocrystal seems a more promising and reliable solid form for further pharmaceutical development.

Fumaric acid production by fermentation.

Project description:The potential of fumaric acid as a raw material in the polymer industry and the increment of cost of petroleum-based fumaric acid raises interest in fermentation processes for production of this compound from renewable resources. Although the chemical process yields 112% w/w fumaric acid from maleic anhydride and the fermentation process yields only 85% w/w from glucose, the latter raw material is three times cheaper. Besides, the fermentation fixes CO2. Production of fumaric acid by Rhizopus species and the involved metabolic pathways are reviewed. Submerged fermentation systems coupled with product recovery techniques seem to have achieved economically attractive yields and productivities. Future prospects for improvement of fumaric acid production include metabolic engineering approaches to achieve low pH fermentations.

Identification and Pharmaceutical Characterization of a New Itraconazole Terephthalic Acid Cocrystal.

Project description:The crystallization of poorly soluble drug molecules with an excipient into new solid phases called cocrystals has gained a considerable popularity in the pharmaceutical field. In this work, the cocrystal approach was explored for a very poorly water soluble antifungal active, itraconazole (ITR), which was, for the first time, successfully converted into this multicomponent solid using an aromatic coformer, terephthalic acid (TER). The new cocrystal was characterized in terms of its solid-state and structural properties, and a panel of pharmaceutical tests including wettability and dissolution were performed. Evidence of the cocrystal formation was obtained from liquid-assisted grinding, but not neat grinding. An efficient method of the ITR-TER cocrystal formation was ball milling. The stoichiometry of the ITR-TER phase was 2:1 and the structure was stabilized by H-bonds. When comparing ITR-TER with other cocrystals, the intrinsic dissolution rates and powder dissolution profiles correlated with the aqueous solubility of the coformers. The rank order of the dissolution rates of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) from the cocrystals was ITR-oxalic acid > ITR-succinic acid > ITR-TER. Additionally, the ITR-TER cocrystal was stable in aqueous conditions and did not transform to the parent drug. In summary, this work presents another cocrystal of ITR that might be of use in pharmaceutical formulations.

Investigation of COSMO-SAC model for solubility and cocrystal formation of pharmaceutical compounds.

Project description:In this study, a predictive model named COSMO-SAC was investigated in solid/liquid equilibria for pharmaceutical compounds. The examined properties were the solubility of drug in the pure and mixed solvents, octanol/water partition coefficient, and cocrystal formation. The results of the original COSMO-SAC model (COSMO-SAC (2002)) was compared with a semi-predictive model named Flory-Huggins model and a revised version of the COSMO-SAC (COSMO-SAC (2010)). The results indicated the acceptable accuracy of the COSMO-SAC (2002) in the considered scope. The results emphasized on the suitability of the COSMO-SAC model for simple molecules containing C, H, and O by covalent and hydrogen bonding interactions. Applicability of the COSMO-SAC for more complicated molecules made of various functional groups such as COO and COOH doubly requires more modification in the COSMO-SAC.

Quinoline-2-carbonitrile-fumaric acid (1/0.5).

Project description:The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(10)H(6)N(2)·0.5C(4)H(4)O(4), consists of one quinoline-2-carbonitrile mol-ecule and a half-mol-ecule of fumaric acid, which lies on an inversion center. The quinoline-2-carbonitrile mol-ecule is almost planar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.008 (1) Å. The acid and base are linked together via pairs of inter-molecular C-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming R(2) (2)(8) ring motifs. In the crystal, the carbonitrile mol-ecules are further linked by inter-molecular C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, generating R(2) (2)(10) ring motifs, resulting in zigzag chains running along the c axis.
