Abstract
Ibrutinib (IBR) is a biopharmaceutical classification system (BCS) class II drug and an irreversible Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor. IBR has an extremely low oral bioavailability due to the activity of the CYP3A4 enzyme. The current intention of the research was to enhance solubility followed by oral bioavailability of IBR using the hot melt extrusion (HME) technique by formulating drug-drug cocrystals (DDCs). Ketoconazole (KET) is an active CYP3A4 inhibitor and was selected based on computational studies and solubility parameter prediction. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) evaluations were employed for estimating the formation of IBR-KET DDCs. The IBR-KET DDC system was discovered to have a hydrogen bond (H-bond) and π-π-stacking interactions, in accordance with the computational results. Further, IBR-KET DDCs showed enhanced solubility, stability, powder dissolution, in vitro release, and flow properties. Furthermore, IBR-KET-DDCs were associated with enhanced cytotoxic activity in K562-CCL-243 cancer cell lines when compared with IBR and KET alone. In vivo pharmacokinetic studies have shown an enhanced oral bioavailability of up to 4.30 folds of IBR and 2.31 folds of KET through IBR-KET-DDCs compared to that of the IBR and KET suspension alone. Thus, the prepared IBR-KET-DDCs using the HME technique stand as a favorable drug delivery system that augments the solubility and oral bioavailability of IBR along with KET.

Abstract
The concept of co-amorphous systems is introduced in an integrated laboratory experiment, designed for advanced chemistry students, using solvent-free, environmentally friendly mechanochemistry. The dual-drug naproxen-cimetidine co-amorphous system (NPX-CIM) is investigated as an example of the emergent field of medicinal mechanochemistry. Students are trained in solid-state characterization techniques including X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermal analysis by differential scanning calorimetry. This lab experiment also provides an opportunity to discuss the relevance of different solid forms of pharmaceutics, emphasizing particular properties of disordered materials. This experiment can easily fit the curriculum of any Chemistry or Pharmacy master level degree in courses dealing with instrumental analysis, solid state chemistry, or green chemistry, for classes of 6 to 18 students, in a 5-h lab session. Suggestions to adapt it to the use of a single characterization technique are provided.

Mechanical Activation by Ball Milling as a Strategy to Prepare Highly Soluble Pharmaceutical Formulations in the Form of Co-Amorphous, Co-Crystals, or Polymorphs. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14102003.

Abstract
Almost half of orally administered active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) have low solubility, which affects their bioavailability. In the last two decades, several alternatives have been proposed to modify the crystalline structure of APIs to improve their solubility; these strategies consist of inducing supramolecular structural changes in the active pharmaceutical ingredients, such as the amorphization and preparation of co-crystals or polymorphs. Since many APIs are thermosensitive, non-thermal emerging alternative techniques, such as mechanical activation by milling, have become increasingly common as a preparation method for drug formulations. This review summarizes the recent research in preparing pharmaceutical formulations (co-amorphous, co-crystals, and polymorphs) through ball milling to enhance the physicochemical properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients. This report includes detailed experimental milling conditions (instrumentation, temperature, time, solvent, etc.), as well as solubility, bioavailability, structural, and thermal stability data. The results and description of characterization techniques to determine the structural modifications resulting from transforming a pure crystalline API into a co-crystal, polymorph, or co-amorphous system are presented. Additionally, the characterization methodologies and results of intermolecular interactions induced by mechanical activation are discussed to explain the properties of the pharmaceutical formulations obtained after the ball milling process.

Abstract
In the niche area of energetic materials, a balance between energy and safety is extremely important. To address this "energy-safety contradiction", energetic cocrystals have been introduced. The investigation of the synthesis methods, characteristics, and efficacy of energetic cocrystals is of the utmost importance for optimizing their design and development. This review covers (i) various synthesis methods for energetic cocrystals; (ii) discusses their characteristics such as structural properties, detonation performance, sensitivity analysis, thermal properties, and morphology mapping, along with other properties such as oxygen balance, solubility, and fluorescence; and (iii) performance with respect to energy contents (detonation velocity and pressure) and sensitivity. This is followed by concluding remarks together with future perspectives.

Simultaneous Improvement of Dissolution Behavior and Oral Bioavailability of Antifungal Miconazole via Cocrystal and Salt Formation. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14051107. [PMID: 35631693 PMCID: PMC9143750 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14051107] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2022] [Revised: 05/16/2022] [Accepted: 05/19/2022] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Miconazole shows low oral bioavailability in humans due to poor aqueous solubility, although it has demonstrated various pharmacological activities such as antifungal, anti-tubercular and anti-tumor effects. Cocrystal/salt formation is one of the effective methods for solving this problem. In this study, different methods (liquid-assisted grinding, slurrying and lyophilization) were used to investigate their impact on the formation of the miconazole multicomponent crystals with succinic, maleic and dl-tartaric acids. The solid state of the prepared powder was characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. It was found that lyophilization not only promotes partial amorphization of both salts but also allows obtaining a new polymorph of the miconazole salt with dl-tartaric acid. The lyophilized salts compared with the same samples prepared by two other methods showed better dissolution rates but low stability during the studies due to rapid recrystallization. Overall, it was determined that the preparation method of multicomponent crystals affects the solid-state characteristics and miconazole physicochemical properties significantly. The in vivo studies revealed that the miconazole multicomponent crystals indicated the higher peak blood concentration and area under the curve from 0 to 32 h values 2.4-, 2.9- and 4.6-fold higher than the pure drug. Therefore, this study demonstrated that multicomponent crystals are promising formulations for enhancing the oral bioavailability of poorly soluble compounds.

Abstract
The formation of co-amorphous is one alternative that can be attempted to enhance the solubility of drugs. The study aimed to identify the co-amorphous formation between candesartan cilexetil (CAN) and l-arginine (ARG) and to know its effect on the solubility and dissolution rate of candesartan cilexetil. Initial prediction of co-crystal formation was undertaken by observing differences in crystal morphology between the candesartan cilexetil-l-arginine (CAN-ARG) mixture and each of its initial components due to crystallization in ethanol. The CAN-ARG co-amorphous was produced by the liquid-assisted grinding (LAG) method with the same molar ratio of the CAN and ARG mixture using ethanol as solvent. The co-amorphous formation of CAN-ARG was identified by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) methods. The solubility and dissolution test was performed to know the impact of the co-amorphous CAN-ARG formation. The PXRD pattern of CAN-ARG of LAG result showed a very low peak intensity compared to pure CAN and ARG. The DSC thermogram of the CAN-ARG LAG result does not show any sharp endothermic peaks. The PXRD and DSC results reveal that CAN and ARG can form co-amorphous. The solubility and dissolution rate of candesartan cilexetil in co-amorphous CAN-ARG was better than that of pure CAN. It can be concluded, liquid-assisted grinding of CAN-ARG mixture is identified to form co-amorphous which has an impact on increasing the solubility and dissolution rate of candesartan cilexetil.
