Abstract
The crystal structure of the tetra-ethyl-ammonium salt of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug nimesulide (polymorph II) (systematic name: tetra-ethyl-ammonium N-methane-sulfonyl-4-nitro-2-phen-oxy-anilinide), C8H20N+·C13H11N2O5S-, was determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with one tetra-ethyl-ammonium cation and one nimesulide anion in the asymmetric unit. In the crystal, the ions are linked by C-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯π inter-actions. There are differences in the geometry of both the nimesulide anion and the tetra-ethyl-ammonium cation in polymorphs I [Rybczyńska & Sikorski (2023 ▸). Sci. Rep. 13, 17268] and II of the title compound.

Abstract
The synthesis, spectral properties, thermal analysis, structural characterization and in silico prediction of pharmacokinetic parameters of tetramethylammonium (compound 1) and tetraethylammonium (compound 2) salt of nimesulide were described in this article. Both compounds crystallize in the monoclinic P21/n space group, with one tetraalkylammonium cation and one nimesulide anion in the asymmetric unit and their crystal structures are stabilized by C-H···O hydrogen bonds between ions. Additionally, structures of title compounds are stabilized by π-π interactions (compound 1), or C-H···π interactions (compound 2) between nimesulide anions. The TG and DSC measurements show that compound 1 melts at a temperature higher than nimesulide, whereas the compound 2 melts at a temperature lower than nimesulide. The MALDI-TOF, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and ATR-FTIR analyses confirm the SCXRD study, that in compounds 1 and 2 nimesulide exists in an ionized form. Studies performed by SWISS ADME and ProTOX II tools, predict to be oral bioavailability of both salts obtained, and one of them (compound 1) is predicted to be well-absorbed by digestive system, while both compounds obtained are classified into toxicity class 4.

Abstract
Clotrimazole (CMZ) is a classical antifungal drug for studying crystallization. In this study, a new CMZ polymorph (Form 2) was discovered during the process of nucleation and growth rate determination in the melt. High-quality single crystals were grown from melt microdroplets to determine the crystal structure by x-ray diffraction. Form 2 is metastable and exhibits a disordered structure. The crystal nucleation and growth kinetics of the two CMZ polymorphs were systematically measured. Form 2 nucleates and grows faster than the existing form (Form 1). The maximum nucleation rate of Forms 1 and 2 was observed at 50 °C (1.07 Tg). The summary of the maximum nucleation rate temperature of CMZ and the other six organic compounds indicates that nucleation near Tg in the supercooled liquid is a useful approach to discovering new polymorphs. This study is relevant for the discovering new drug polymorphs through an understanding of nucleation and growth kinetics during melt crystallization.

Abstract
Understanding crystallization behaviors is of utmost importance for developing robust amorphous pharmaceutical solids. Herein, the crystal growth behaviors of amorphous anti-inflammatory drug nimesulide (NIME) are systemically investigated in the glassy and supercooled liquid state as a function of temperature. A sudden over-tenfold increase is observed in the bulk crystal growth of NIME on cooling below its glass transition temperature (Tg). This fast growth behavior is known as a glass-to-crystal (GC) mode and has been reported in some molecular glasses. Fast surface crystal growth of NIME can persist up to Tg + 57°C with a weak jump in its growth rates at 30-40°C. In addition, surface crystal growth and GC growth of NIME exhibit an almost identical temperature dependence, supporting the view that GC growth is indeed a surface-facilitated process. Moreover, the bubble-induced fast crystal growth of NIME is observed in the interior of its supercooled liquid with approximately the same growth kinetics as surface crystal growth. These findings are relevant for a full understanding of the surface-related crystallization behaviors and physical stability of amorphous pharmaceutical formulations.

Abstract
Nimesulide, salicylic acid and their binary mixtures were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The study of such systems is a promising and viable approach for solving the problem of poor solubility of materials in general and drug systems in particular. All areas of human activity are inextricably linked to materials, and thus, the study presented in the paper and not reported in the literature is very important and provides useful data for those working in various fields. The eutectic mixtures were obtained by mechanosynthesis and by recrystallization from ethanol over the entire 0-1 range of molar fractions. For both situations at the molar fraction of nimesulide 0.5, the mixture has a eutectic that suggests an increase in solubility at this composition. The interactions that take place between the components were determined with the help of the excess thermodynamic functions (GE, SE, µE), which highlight the deviation from the ideality of the considered binary systems.

Abstract
Coamorphous drug delivery systems have emerged as a promising formulation technique for improving the solubility and oral bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs. The selection of a suitable coformer is the key to obtaining a successful coamorphous formulation. This study aims to investigate the impacts of coformers with similar chemical structures but different physical properties on the crystallization behavior and molecular dynamics of binary amorphous systems. The addition of three profen analogs, ibuprofen (IBU), ketoprofen (KETO) and indoprofen (INDO) leads to significantly different effects on the crystallization kinetics of amorphous nimesulide (NIME). The crystal growth rates for amorphous NIME are substantially accelerated in the presence of IBU, but drastically reduced in the presence of INDO, while the incorporation of KETO results in a negligible effect. Broadband dielectric spectroscopy is employed to characterize the molecular dynamics of neat amorphous NIME and coamorphous systems. The addition of three structural analogs alters the molecular mobility of amorphous NIME in different ways, which is consistent with the trend observed for their impacts on the crystallization kinetics, suggesting that the relative mobility between the components of coamorphous mixtures governs the physical stability. In addition, it is found that the temperature dependence of the α-relaxation times for NIME with and without coformers is superimposed once the temperature is scaled by Tg/T, whereas the crystallization kinetics do not overlap on a Tg/T scale. This deviation can result from a complex interplay of thermodynamic and kinetic factors involved in multicomponent amorphous systems. This study provides insights into the crystallization kinetics and molecular dynamics of coamorphous systems containing drug analogs, which can potentially offer more flexibility for the control of physical stability without sacrificing therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Nucleation events and crystal growth can be guided by molecular recognition at interfaces through intermolecular interactions. The short-acting antimicrobial sulfa drug sulfathiazole is known for its concomitant crystallization, which has five known polymorphs, due to conformational flexibility and hydrogen-bond synthon variation. In its development stage of a drug the issue of concomitant crystallization needs to be addressed with respect to patent litigation, including legal actions to protect patents against infringement. A functional self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of organic thiol on a gold surface has been employed as an efficient approach to control concomitant nucleation of such flexible drugs. The crystallization on a SAM surface is mostly kinetically driven and often leads to the nucleation of novel metastable forms. Spectroscopic, thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction studies reveal that a previously unknown, sixth form of the drug nucleates on the designed SAM surface.

Abstract
A simple and highly sensitive bioanalytical method was developed and validated for simultaneous quantification of nimesulide (NSD) and its active metabolite 4-hydroxy-nimesulide (M1) in human plasma by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS) and applied in a bioequivalence study performed on Indian subjects. The bioanalytical method was carried out by LC-MS/MS with celecoxib (CXB) as an internal standard (IS) using liquid-liquid extraction technique. The chromatographic separation was performed on a reversed-phase Agilent eclipse plus C18 (75 mm × 4.6 mm, particle size 3.5 µm) column with a mobile phase of acetronitrile and water containing 5 mM ammonium formate (9:1, v/v). Method validation and clinical sample were analysed as per USFDA and EMA guidelines and results met the acceptance criteria. The lower limit of quantitation of NSD and M1 was found 10 ng/mL with a large linearity range from 10 to 6000 ng/mL for both NSD and M1 using only 100 µL of plasma and reported no matrix effect. The multiple reaction monitoring transitions of m/z 307.20 → 229.20, m/z 323.00 → 245.00 and m/z 380.20 → 316.20 were used to measure NSD, M1 and CXB (IS), respectively. The assay method was successfully applied for the simultaneous quantification of both NSD and M1 in plasma samples after oral administration of nimesulide 100 mg tablet in healthy human subjects.

Abstract
Understanding the phase behavior of active pharmaceutical ingredients is important for formulations of dosage forms and regulatory reasons. Nimesulide is an anti-inflammatory drug that is known to exhibit dimorphism; however up to now its stability behavior was not clear, as few thermodynamic data were available. Therefore, calorimetric melting data have been obtained, which were found to be TI-L=422.4±1.0K, ΔI→LH=117.5±5.2Jg-1,TII-L=419.8±1.0K and ΔII→LH=108.6±3.3Jg-1. In addition, vapor-pressure data, high-pressure melting data, and specific volumes have been obtained. It is demonstrated that form II is intrinsically monotropic in relation to form I and the latter would thus be the best polymorph to use for drug formulations. This result has been obtained by experimental means, involving high-pressure measurements. Furthermore, it has been shown that with very limited experimental and statistical data, the same conclusion can be obtained, demonstrating that in first instance topological pressure-temperature phase diagrams can be obtained without necessarily measuring any high-pressure data. It provides a quick method to verify the phase behavior of the known phases of an active pharmaceutical ingredient under different pressure and temperature conditions.

Abstract
The amorphous state is of particular interest in the pharmaceutical industry due to the higher solubility that amorphous active pharmaceutical ingredients show compared to their respective crystalline forms. Due to their thermodynamic instability, drugs in the amorphous state tend to recrystallize; in order to avoid crystallization, it has been a common strategy to add a second component to hinder the crystalline state and form a thermally stable co-amorphous system, that is to say, an amorphous binary system which retains its amorphous structure. The second component can be a small molecule excipient (such as a sugar or an aminoacid) or a second drug, with the advantage that a second active pharmaceutical ingredient could be used for complementary or combined therapeutic purposes. In most cases, the compositions studied are limited to 1:1, 2:1 and 1:2 molar ratios, leaving a gap of information about phase transitions and stability on the amorphous state in a wider range of compositions. In the present work, a study of novel co–amorphous formulations in which the selection of the active pharmaceutical ingredients was made according to the therapeutic effect is presented. Resistance against crystallization and behavior of glass transition temperature (Tg were studied through calorimetric measurements as a function of composition and shelf time. It was found that binary formulations with Tg temperatures higher than those of pure components presented long-term thermal stability. In addition, significant increments of Tg values, of as much as 15 ∘C, were detected as a result of glass relaxation at room temperature during storage time; this behavior of glass transition has not been previously reported for co-amorphous drugs. Based on these results, it can be concluded that monitoring behavior of Tg and relaxation processes during the first weeks of storage leads to a more objective evaluation of the thermomechanical stability of an amorphous formulation.

Abstract
Scrutinizing critical thermodynamic and kinetic factors for glass formation and the glass stability of materials would benefit the screening of the glass formers for the industry of glassy materials. The present work aims at elucidating the factors that contribute to the glass formation by investigating medium-sized molecules of pharmaceuticals. Glass transition related thermodynamics and kinetics are performed on the pharmaceuticals using calorimetric, dielectric, and viscosity measurements. The characteristic thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of glass transition are found to reproduce the relations established for small-molecule glass formers. The systematic comparison of the thermodynamic and kinetic contributions to glass formation reveals that the melting-point viscosity is the crucial quantity for the glass formation. Of more interest is the finding of a rough correlation between the melting-point viscosity and the entropy of fusion normalized by the number of beads of the pharmaceuticals, suggesting the thermodynamics can partly manifest its contribution to glass formation via kinetics.

Abstract
Nimesulide (NS)-loaded nanoparticles (NPNS) were prepared from polylactide-co-glycolide (PLGA) and eventually coated with chitosan (NPNSCS). Nanoparticles (NP) were spherical with sizes 379 ± 59 nm for NPNS and 393 ± 66 nm for NPNSCS and zeta potentials of -15 ± 3 mV for NPNS to 10 ± 4 mV for NPNSCS, suggesting an efficient coating. Drug encapsulation rate was high (88 ± 5% and 83 ± 7% of added drug) for NPNS and NPNSCS, respectively. After NP washing and re-suspension, 98 ± 2% and 99 ± 1% of the drug initially entrapped remained associated to NP. NS was dispersed in amorphous state within the polymeric matrix. Two-fold dilution of NP with pH 7.4 PBS provoked no drug release. However, 30-40% NS was released after a 1/10 dilution. NPNSCS and NPNS diluted 1/100 reduced the encapsulated drug to around 30% and 70%, respectively. In contrast, 100% NS was released from NP under sink conditions in less than 2h. The permeability of free-NS (1-1.5 × 10(-5)cm/s) was compared with NPNS (NPNS = 6.4-8.1 × 10(-6)cm/s and NPNSCS = 5.5-7.0 × 10(-6)cm/s) using the PAMPA assay. The cytotoxicity of free-NS and NS in NP on model prostate cancer cells PC-3 and DU-145 showed the highest cytotoxic effect with NPNSCS on PC-3 cells (IC50 = 89 μM).
