Bromhexine is an expectorant drug repurposing as a TMPRSS2 inhibitor, which has also been proposed for potential treatment in COVID-19 infection. Multicomponent crystal strategy has been applied in bromhexine to improve its poor solubility, which limits its bioavailability and efficacy. A new bromhexine crystal and its fumarate salt crystal have been successfully obtained by slow evaporation technique. Both compounds have been characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction, TGA and FT-IR spec ...[more]
