Tu B, Jonnalagadda S. Amorphous stabilization of BCS II drugs using mesoporous silica. Int J Pharm 2024; 663:124555.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the amorphous stabilization of BCS Class II drugs using mesoporous silica as a carrier to produce amorphous solid dispersions. Ibuprofen, fenofibrate, and budesonide were selected as model drugs to evaluate the impact of molecular weight and partition coefficient on the solid state of drug-loaded mesoporous silica (MS) particles. The model drugs were loaded into three grades of MS, SYLYSIA SY730, SYLYSIA SY430, and SYLYSIA SY350, with pore diameters of 2.5 nm, 17 nm, and 21 nm, respectively, at 1:1, 2:1, and 3:1, carrier to drug ratios, and three different loading concentrations using solvent immersion and spray drying techniques. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermograms of SY430 and SY350 samples exhibited melting point depressions indicating constricted crystallization inside the pores, whereas SY730 samples with melting points matching the pure API may be a result of surface crystallization. Powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD) diffractograms showed all crystalline samples matched the diffraction patterns of the pure API indicating no polymorphic transitions and all 3:1 ratio samples exhibited amorphous halo profiles. Response surface regression analysis and Classification and Regression Tree (CART) analysis suggest carrier to drug ratios, followed by molecular weight, have the most significant impact on the crystallinity of a drug loaded into MS particles.

Abstract
The present study investigated the effect of different polymers and manufacturing methods (hot melt extrusion, HME, and spray drying, SD) on the solid state, stability and pharmaceutical performance of amorphous solid dispersions. In the present manuscript, a combination of different binary amorphous solid dispersions containing 20% and 30% of drug loadings were prepared using SD and HME. The developed solid-state properties of the dispersions were evaluated using small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) and modulated differential scanning calorimetry (mDSC). The molecular interaction between the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and polymers were investigated via infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy. The in vitro release profile of the solid dispersions was also evaluated to compare the rate and extend of drug dissolution as a function of method of preparation. Thereafter, the effect of accelerated stability conditions on the physicochemical properties of the solid dispersions were also evaluated. The results demonstrated higher stability of Soluplus® (SOL) polymer-based solid dispersions as compared to hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)-based solid dispersions. Moreover, the stability of the solid dispersions was found to be higher in the case of API having high glass transition temperature (Tg) and demonstrated higher interaction with the polymeric groups. Interestingly, the stability of the melt-extruded dispersions was found to be slightly higher as compared to the SD formulations. However, the down-processing of melt-extruded strands plays critical role in inducing the API crystal nuclei formation. In summary, the findings strongly indicate that the particulate properties significantly influence the performance of the product.

Abstract
Accuracy and sophistication of in silico models of structure, internal dynamics, and cohesion of molecular materials at finite temperatures increase over time. Applicability limits of ab initio polymorph ranking that would be feasible at reasonable costs currently represent crystals of moderately sized molecules (less than 20 nonhydrogen atoms) and simple unit cells (containing rather only one symmetry-irreducible molecule). Extending the applicability range of the underlying first-principles methods to larger systems with a real-life significance, and enabling to perform such computations in a high-throughput regime represent additional challenges to be tackled in computational chemistry. This work presents a novel composite method that combines the computational efficiency of density-functional tight-binding (DFTB) methods with the accuracy of density-functional theory (DFT). Being rooted in the quasi-harmonic approximation, it uses a cheap method to perform all of the costly scans of how static and dynamic characteristics of the crystal vary with respect to its volume. Such data are subsequently corrected to agree with a higher-level model, which must be evaluated only at a single volume of the crystal. It thus enables predictions of structural, cohesive, and thermodynamic properties of complex molecular materials, such as pharmaceuticals or organic semiconductors, at a fraction of the original computational cost. As the composite model retains the solid physical background, it suffers from a minimum accuracy deterioration compared to the full treatment with the costly approach. The novel methodology is demonstrated to provide consistent results for the structural and thermodynamic properties of real-life molecular crystals and their polymorph ranking.

Element- and enantiomer-selective visualization of molecular motion in real-time. Nat Commun 2023; 14:386.

Abstract
Ultrafast optical-domain spectroscopies allow to monitor in real time the motion of nuclei in molecules. Achieving element-selectivity had to await the advent of time resolved X-ray spectroscopy, which is now commonly carried at X-ray free electron lasers. However, detecting light element that are commonly encountered in organic molecules, remained elusive due to the need to work under vacuum. Here, we present an impulsive stimulated Raman scattering (ISRS) pump/carbon K-edge absorption probe investigation, which allowed observation of the low-frequency vibrational modes involving specific selected carbon atoms in the Ibuprofen RS dimer. Remarkably, by controlling the probe light polarization we can preferentially access the enantiomer of the dimer to which the carbon atoms belong.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing is becoming an attractive technology for the design and development of personalized paediatric dosage forms with improved palatability. In this work micro-extrusion based printing was implemented for the fabrication of chewable paediatric ibuprofen (IBU) tablets by assessing a range of front runner polymers in taste masking. Due to the drug-polymer miscibility and the IBU plasticization effect, micro-extrusion was proved to be an ideal technology for processing the drug/polymer powder blends for the printing of paediatric dosage forms. The printed tablets presented high printing quality with reproducible layer thickness and a smooth surface. Due to the drug-polymer interactions induced during printing processing, IBU was found to form a glass solution confirmed by differential calorimetry (DSC) while H-bonding interactions were identified by confocal Raman mapping. IBU was also found to be uniformly distributed within the polymer matrices at molecular level. The tablet palatability was assessed by panellists and revealed excellent taste masking of the IBU's bitter taste. Overall micro-extrusion demonstrated promising processing capabilities of powder blends for rapid printing and development of personalised dosage forms.

Abstract
Integrated API and drug product processing enable molecules with high clinical efficacy but poor physicochemical characteristics to be commercialized by direct co-processing with excipients to produce advanced multicomponent intermediates. Furthermore, developing isolation-free frameworks would enable end-to-end continuous processing of drugs. The aim of this work was to purify a model API (sodium ibuprofen) and impurity (ibuprofen ethyl ester) system and then directly process it into a solid-state formulation without isolating a solid API phase. Confined agitated bed crystallization is proposed to purify a liquid stream of impure API from 4% to 0.2% w/w impurity content through periodic or parallelized operations. This stream is combined with a polymer solution in an intermediary tank, enabling the API to be spray coated directly onto microcrystalline cellulose beads. The spray coating process was developed using a Design of Experiments approach, allowing control over the drug loading efficiency and the crystallinity of the API on the beads by altering the process parameters. The DoE study indicated that the solvent volume was the dominant factor controlling the drug loading efficiency, while a combination of factors influenced the crystallinity. The products from the fluidized bed are ideal for processing into final drug products and can subsequently be coated to control drug release.

Abstract
Surface defects play a crucial role in the process of crystal growth, as incorporation of growth units generally takes place on undercoordinated sites on the growing crystal facet. In this work, we use molecular simulations to obtain information on the role of the solvent in the roughening of three morphologically relevant crystal faces of form I of racemic ibuprofen. To this aim, we devise a computational strategy to evaluate the energetic cost associated with the formation of a surface vacancy for a set of ten solvents, covering a range of polarities and hydrogen bonding propensities. We find that the mechanism as well as the work of defect formation are markedly solvent and facet dependent. Based on Mean Force Integration and Well Tempered Metadynamics, the methodology developed in this work has been designed with the aim of capturing solvent effects at the atomistic scale while maintaining the computational efficiency necessary for implementation in high-throughput in-silico screenings of crystallization solvents.

Abstract
(R, S)-2-Chloromandelic acid, which can crystallize in racemic crystals (forms α and β) or a conglomerate (form γ), has been studied for its glass-forming behavior. Below the glass transition temperature, samples of the title compound crack into pieces. Correlation plots of DSC results have been used to investigate what determines the cracking and its occurrence temperature. We found that the latter is influenced by the polymorph from which the melt state has been obtained, showing that a certain memory of the previous crystalline phase persists in the undercooled melt. Moreover, this residual structure could be eliminated by elongating the annealing period or increasing the annealing temperature. Investigation using broadband dielectric spectroscopy confirmed such a memory effect. Finally, we studied the role of cracking in the control of the crystallization. In contrast with previous literature on other glass-forming molecular systems, we verified that the crystallization upon reheating is not impacted by the occurrence of cracks in the glassy state. This observation challenges the current views on polymorphic crystallization from organic glasses.

Abstract
Spray-drying is an extensively used technology for engineering inhalable particles. Important technical hurdles are however experienced when lipid-based excipients (LBEs) are spray-dried. Stickiness, extensive wall deposition, or simply inability to yield a solid product have been associated to the low melting points of LBEs. In this work, solutions containing polyglycerol esters of behenic acid (PGFA-behenates), or other high melting point LBEs, were spray-dried to produce ibuprofen (IBU)-loaded inhalable lipid-microparticles. Prior to spray-drying, rational boundaries for the outlet temperature of the process were defined using LBE-IBU phase diagrams. Despite spray-drying the solutions at outlet temperatures below the boundaries, process performance and yield among LBEs were entirely different. Lipid crystallization into polymorphs or multi-phases negatively impacted the yield (10-47%), associated to liquid fractions unable to recrystallize at the surrounding gas temperature in the spray-dryer. The highest yields (76-82%), ascribed to PGFA-behenates, resulted from monophasic crystallization and absence of polymorphism. Lipid-microparticles, composed of a PGFA-behenate, were characterized by a volume mean diameter of 6.586 µm, tap density of 0.389 g/cm3 and corrugated surface. Application as carrier-free dry powder for inhalation resulted in high emitted fraction (90.9%), median mass aerodynamic diameter of 3.568 µm, fine particle fraction of 45.6% and modified release in simulated lung fluid.

Abstract
The stable and metastable phase diagrams between the sinister and the rectus ibuprofen enantiomers were established by means of thermal analysis and X-ray powder diffraction experiments as a function of temperature. The results obtained allow proving for the first time the existence, for the stable system, of a solid solution by mixing the racemic ibuprofen with one of its enantiomers for low concentration of the enantiomer. Since the rectus ibuprofen is a non-active pharmaceutical agent which can be partially bio-converted into the sinister enantiomer, the present work offers a new approach for scalemic mixtures preparation in order to improve the benefit/risk ratio related to ibuprofen solid dosage form administration.

Looking into the dynamics of molecular crystals of ibuprofen and terephthalic acid using 17 O and 2 H nuclear magnetic resonance analyses. MAGNETIC RESONANCE IN CHEMISTRY : MRC 2021; 59:975-990.

Abstract
Oxygen-17 and deuterium are two quadrupolar nuclei that are of interest for studying the structure and dynamics of materials by solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Here, 17 O and 2 H NMR analyses of crystalline ibuprofen and terephthalic acid are reported. First, improved 17 O-labelling protocols of these molecules are described using mechanochemistry. Then, dynamics occurring around the carboxylic groups of ibuprofen are studied considering variable temperature 17 O and 2 H NMR data, as well as computational modelling (including molecular dynamics simulations). More specifically, motions related to the concerted double proton jump and the 180° flip of the H-bonded (-COOH)2 unit in the crystal structure were looked into, and it was found that the merging of the C=O and C-OH 17 O resonances at high temperatures cannot be explained by the sole presence of one of these motions. Lastly, preliminary experiments were performed with a 2 H-17 O diplexer connected to the probe. Such configurations can allow, among others, 2 H and 17 O NMR spectra to be recorded at different temperatures without needing to tune or to change probe configurations. Overall, this work offers a few leads which could be of use in future studies of other materials using 17 O and 2 H NMR.

Abstract
In this study we developed electrospun cellulose acetate nanofibers (CANFs) that were loaded with a model non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) (ibuprofen, Ib) and coated with poly(acrylamide) (poly-AAm) hydrogel polymer using two consecutive steps: an electrospinning process followed by photopolymerization of AAm. Coated and non-coated CANF formulations were characterized by several microscopic and spectroscopic techniques to evaluate their physicochemical properties. An analysis of the kinetic release profile of Ib showed noticeable differences due to the presence or absence of the poly-AAm hydrogel polymer. Poly-AAm coating facilitated a constant release rate of drug as opposed to a more conventional burst release. The non-coated CANFs showed low cumulative drug release concentrations (ca. 35 and 83% at 5 and 10% loading, respectively). Conversely, poly-AAm coated CANFs were found to promote the release of drug (ca. 84 and 99.8% at 5 and 10% loading, respectively). Finally, the CANFs were found to be superbly cytocompatible.

Mutual Effects of Hydrogen Bonding and Polymer Hydrophobicity on Ibuprofen Crystal Inhibition in Solid Dispersions with Poly( N-vinyl pyrrolidone) and Poly(2-oxazolines). Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:pharmaceutics13050659.

Abstract
Poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP), poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) (PMOZ), poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (PEOZ), poly(2-n-propyl-2-oxazoline) (PnPOZ), and poly(2-isopropyl-2-oxazoline) (PiPOZ) were used to prepare solid dispersions with ibuprofen (IB), a model poorly-water soluble drug. Dispersions, prepared by solvent evaporation, were investigated using powder X-ray diffractometry, differential scanning calorimetry, and FTIR spectroscopy; hydrogen bonds formed between IB and all polymers in solid dispersions. PMOZ, the most hydrophilic polymer, showed the poorest ability to reduce or inhibit the crystallinity of IB. In contrast, the more hydrophobic polymers PVP, PEOZ, PnPOZ, and PiPOZ provided greater but similar abilities to reduce IB crystallinity, despite the differing polymer hydrophobicity and that PiPOZ is semi-crystalline. These results indicate that crystallinity disruption is predominantly due to hydrogen bonding between the drug molecules and the polymer. However, carrier properties affected drug dissolution, where PnPOZ exhibited lower critical solution temperature that inhibited the release of IB, whereas drug release from other systems was consistent with the degree of ibuprofen crystallinity within the dispersions.

Ibraheem B, Wagner KG. Influence of high pressure compaction on solubility and intrinsic dissolution of ibuprofen binary mixtures employing standard excipients. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICS-X 2021; 3:100075.

Abstract
Enabling formulations often depend on functional excipients. However, the question remains whether excipients regarded as standard establish similar interactions and subsequently improvement of solubility when employed at unusual manufacturing process conditions. In this study, compaction of API under high pressure in the presence of hydrophilic excipients is proposed as a technique to improve the solubility and/or dissolution rate with an acceptable preservation of the supersaturation state. Binary mixtures of ibuprofen (IBU) with hydroxypropyl cellulose, isomalt, mannitol and sorbitol were compacted applying high pressure (500 MPa) with and without a previous co-milling step. Intrinsic dissolution rate (IDR) was selected to characterize and evaluate dissolution performance. The IDR of neat IBU increased from 5 to 88 fold and the aqueous solubility in the range of 3 to 54%. Regarding the polyols isomalt showed the highest impact on solubility and dissolution, without changing the crystallinity of IBU independent of a co-milling step. Even higher impact was achieved in combination with HPC. However, only without a previous co-milling step, ibuprofen remained crystalline, while co-milling induced an amorphous IBU-content of 38%. Based on XRPD and DSC findings, higher IDR and solubility values correlated with crystal modifications as well as IBU/excipient interactions.

Abstract
Aiming to contribute to drug pre-formulation, new eutectic mixtures were developed. Thymol, coumarin, or quaternary ammonium chlorides as excipients, were combined with the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) acetylsalicylic acid, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, ketoprofen, or lidocaine. Their solid-liquid equilibrium (SLE) binary phase diagrams were measured to study eventual phase separation between the compounds, preventing manufacturing problems, and to study the molecular interactions between the APIs and ionic or non-ionic excipients. The Conductor-like Screening Model for Real Solvents (COSMO-RS) capability to predict the SLE of mixtures containing non-ionic excipients was further evaluated. COSMO-RS gives a good quantitative description of the experimental SLE being a tool with great potential in the screening of eutectic systems containing APIs and non-ionic excipients. While thymol presents strong interactions with the APIs, and consequently negative deviations to thermodynamic ideality, systems containing coumarin follow a quasi-ideal behavior. Regarding the ionic excipients, both choline chloride and the tetraalkylammonium chlorides are unable to establish relevant interactions with the APIs, and no significant negative deviations to ideality are observed. The liquefaction of the APIs here studied is favored by using non-ionic excipients, such as thymol, due to the strong interactions it can establish with the APIs.

Abstract
Using the Milling-Assisted Loading (MAL) solid-state method for loading a poorly water-soluble drug (ibuprofen, IBP) within the SBA-15 matrix has given the opportunity to manipulate the physical state of drugs for optimizing bioavailability. The MAL method makes it easy to control and analyze the influence of the degree of loading on the physical state of IBP inside the SBA-15 matrix with an average pore diameter of 9.4 nm. It was found that the density of IBP molecules in an average pore size has a direct influence on both the glass transition and the mechanism of crystallization. Detailed analyzes of the crystallite distribution and melting by Raman mapping, x-ray diffraction, and differential scanning calorimetry have shown that the crystals are localized in the core of the channel and surrounded by a liquid monolayer. The results of these complementary investigations have been used for determining the relevant parameters (related to the SBA-15 matrix and to the IBP molecule) and the nature of the physical state of the confined matter.

Abstract
Recently, there has been a rapid growth of using bio-based materials in pharmaceutical applications, due to their low cost and availability. In this study, natural composition of cellaburate (cellulose-ester) and colophony (pine-resin) was used to prepare films to control ibuprofen release from its amorphous solid dispersion. The effect of two preparation technologies of spin-coating and hot-melt-extrusion was studied on the physicochemical properties and in vitro dissolution/release behavior. Physical stability was evaluated for 12 w at 54 %RH/22 °C. Characterization involved using PLM/DSC/MTDSC/ATRFTIR/TGA/SEM and PXRD. Ibuprofen was amorphously-dispersed at 30 %(w/w) in 35:65 colophony:cellaburate films. Spin-films were more physically stable over 12 w; however, controlled release of ibuprofen was achieved mainly from hot-melt-extruded-films for 5 h. Both films have shown first-order release kinetics; whereby polymeric swelling and relaxation likely governed the release. The successful preparation of cellaburate-colophony platform that has achieved tunable release profiles of poorly water-soluble drug holds the potential for further drug delivery development.

Abstract
We have previously reported that heated powder mixtures of ibuprofen (IBU) and high surface area nanocellulose exhibit an enhanced dissolution and solubility of the drug due to IBU amorphization. The goal of the present work was to further elaborate the concept and conduct side-by-side in vitro drug release comparisons with commercial formulations, including film-coated tablets, soft gel liquid capsules, and IBU-lysine conjugate tablets, in biorelevant media. Directly compressed tablets were produced from heated mixtures of 20% w/w IBU and high surface area Cladophora cellulose (CLAD), with 5% w/w sodium croscarmelose (AcDiSol) as superdisintegrant. The side-by side studies in simulated gastric fluid, fasted-state simulated intestinal fluid, and fed-state simulated intestinal fluid corroborate that the IBU-CLAD tablets show more rapid and less variable release in various media compared to three commercial IBU formulations. On the sidelines of the main work, a possibility of the presence of a new meta-crystalline form of IBU in mixture with nanocellulose is discussed.

Abstract
The molecular mobility of an amorphous active pharmaceutical ingredient, terfenadine, was carefully investigated by dielectric relaxation spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulation for the first time. Comprehensive characterization on a wide frequency (10-2 to 109 Hz) and temperature (300 K) range highlights the fragile nature of this good glass-former (m = 112) and the relatively large nonexponentiality of the main relaxation (βKWW = 0.53 ± 0.01). In the glassy state, a particularly broad secondary relaxation of intramolecular origin is evidenced. Terfenadine is a flexible molecule, and from molecular dynamics simulation, a clear link is established between the flexibility of the central part of the molecule (carrying, on the one side, the nitrogen group, and on the other side, the OH group) and the distribution of dipole moments, which explains that broadness. Terfenadine is one of the very few cases for which the molecular mobility of the glass obtained by the quench of the melt or by milling can be compared. From the present study, no major difference in terms of molecular mobility is found between these two glasses. However, terfenadine amorphized by milling (for 1-20 h) clearly shows a lower stability than the quenched liquid as we observed its recrystallization upon heating. Interestingly, it is shown that this recrystallization upon heating is not complete and that the 1-2% of the remaining amorphous phase has an original behavior. Indeed, it exhibits an enhanced main mobility induced by an autoconfinement effect created by the surrounding crystalline phase.

Abstract
The physical stability of solid-state forms in which drugs may exist is in some sense an overlooked aspect. In an era where strategies such as amorphous solid dispersions or co-amorphous preparations might provide answers to stumbling blocks such as poor drug solubility and bioavailability, the physical stability of such solid-state preparations should be a priority. Furthermore, the pharmaceutical industry is moving towards adapting a real time release of pharmaceutical products strategy, through the utilization of process analytical technology. It is thus becoming imperative to investigate the various types of phase transformations a specific solid-state form of a drug may undergo. Also, to critically assess the applicability of process analytical tools that may be sensitive enough to monitor not only chemical but also physical drug stability. These combined efforts allow quality to be built into the product, rather than dealing with costly post batch release recalls. Given that drug stability is an essential quality attribute for a drug product and the quality-by-design approach (QbD) is a best solution to build quality in all pharmaceutical products we focussed on the critical material attributes (CMAs), specifically relating to the physical stability of any given drug. This review highlights physical drug stability in relation to CMAs and how this ultimately link to the finished pharmaceutical product. Investigated challenges associated current PAT strategies is also discussed.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to investigate effects of the formulation factors on tablet printability as well as to optimize and predict extended drug release from cross-linked polymeric ibuprofen printlets using an artificial neural network (ANN). Printlets were printed using digital light processing (DLP) technology from formulations containing polyethylene glycol diacrylate, polyethylene glycol, and water in concentrations according to D-optimal mixture design and 0.1% w/w riboflavin and 5% w/w ibuprofen. It was observed that with higher water content longer exposure time was required for successful printing. For understanding the effects of excipients and printing parameters on drug dissolution rate in DLP printlets two different neural networks were developed with using two commercially available softwares. After comparison of experimental and predicted values of in vitro dissolution at the corresponding time points for optimized formulation, the R2 experimental vs. predicted value was 0.9811 (neural network 1) and 0.9960 (neural network 2). According to difference f1 and similarity factor f2 (f1 = 14.30 and f2 = 52.15) neural network 1 with supervised multilayer perceptron, backpropagation algorithm, and linear activation function gave a similar dissolution profile to obtained experimental results, indicating that adequate ANN is able to set out an input–output relationship in DLP printing of pharmaceutics.

Abstract
Organic solar cells are thought to suffer from poor thermal stability of the active layer nanostructure, a common belief that is based on the extensive work that has been carried out on fullerene-based systems. We show that a widely studied non-fullerene acceptor, the indacenodithienothiophene-based acceptor ITIC, crystallizes in a profoundly different way as compared to fullerenes. Although fullerenes are frozen below the glass-transition temperature Tg of the photovoltaic blend, ITIC can undergo a glass-crystal transition considerably below its high Tg of ∼180 °C. Nanoscopic crystallites of a low-temperature polymorph are able to form through a diffusion-limited crystallization process. The resulting fine-grained nanostructure does not evolve further with time and hence is characterized by a high degree of thermal stability. Instead, above Tg, the low temperature polymorph melts, and micrometer-sized crystals of a high-temperature polymorph develop, enabled by more rapid diffusion and hence long-range mass transport. This leads to the same detrimental decrease in photovoltaic performance that is known to occur also in the case of fullerene-based blends. Besides explaining the superior thermal stability of non-fullerene blends at relatively high temperatures, our work introduces a new rationale for the design of bulk heterojunctions that is not based on the selection of high- Tg materials per se but diffusion-limited crystallization. The planar structure of ITIC and potentially other non-fullerene acceptors readily facilitates the desired glass-crystal transition, which constitutes a significant advantage over fullerenes, and may pave the way for truly stable organic solar cells.

Abstract
In the present paper we review different aspects of the crystallization of amorphous compounds in relation to specificities of the nucleation and growth rates. Its main purpose is: i) to underline the interest of a scaling analysis of recrystallization kinetics to identify similarities or disparities of experimental kinetic regimes. ii) to highlight the intrinsic link between the nucleation rate and growth rate with a temperature dependent characteristic transformation time τ(T), and a characteristic size ξ(T). The consequences on the influence of the sample size on kinetics of crystallization is considered. The significance of size effect and confinement for amorphous stabilization in the pharmaceutical sciences is discussed.

Abstract
A study has been carried out of binary solid systems made up of the antiepileptic drug levetiracetam, LEV, and a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, NSAID, capable of managing the inflammation that accompanies epileptic activity. One aim of this research was to identify eutectic mixtures and co-crystals, which are able to impact positively on their biopharmaceutical properties. The NSAIDs studied are (S)- and (R,S)-ibuprofen, (S)- and (R,S)-naproxen, (R,S)-ketoprofen and (R,S)-flurbiprofen, all class II in the Biopharmaceutical Classification System. A green mechanochemical methodology has been used to prepare binary mixtures with different molar ratios, and the binary solid-liquid phase diagrams established. For LEV+(S)-ibuprofen, formation of a single (1:1) co-crystal was confirmed; this was found to melt incongruently. The co-crystal was found to be stable in accelerated stability tests. For the other systems, interesting eutectic mixtures were identified, which showed enhanced dissolution rates of the NSAID relative to the pure drug. For LEV+(R,S)-ibuprofen, LEV+(S)-naproxen and LEV+(R,S)-naproxen, the eutectic mixture compositions have the effective doses of both components. All the NSAIDs investigated are chiral, and their racemates are racemic compounds. Levetiracetam, the (S)-enantiomer of etiracetam, was not efficient in enantiomer discrimination, as all the racemic compound structures are present as the prepared solid mixtures.

Abstract
This study demonstrates the effect of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) particle habit on the sticking propensity of ibuprofen. Four diverse crystal habits with similar physico chemical properties are reported and the sticking propensity was found to increase with shape regularity. The surface energy of the extreme habits were shown to be different where particles that were more regular in shape exhibited surface energies of 9mJ/m2 higher than those that were needle-like in habit. Computational and experimental data reveals that the increase in surface energy of the regular shaped particles can be attributed to the increase in the specific (polar) component, which is due to greater presence of faces which contain the carboxylic acid functionality at the surface. The increase in the specific energy component is shown to correlate with the sticking propensity of ibuprofen. It is proposed that investigation of the chemical causality of sticking, for this API and others, using the techniques demonstrated in this paper will be of increasing importance.
