Novel drug-drug salt crystals of metformin with ibuprofen or naproxen: Improved solubility, dissolution rate, and synergistic antinociceptive effects. Int J Pharm 2024; 657:124126. [PMID: 38626845 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124126] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2024] [Revised: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/13/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024]
Abstract
As the monotherapy of available analgesics is usually accompanied by serious side effects or limited efficacy in the management of chronic pain, multimodal analgesia is widely used to achieve improved benefit-to-risk ratios in clinic. Drug-drug salts are extensively researched to optimize the physicochemical properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and achieve clinical benefits compared with individual APIs or their combination. New drug-drug salt crystals metformin-ibuprofen (MET-IBU) and metformin-naproxen (MET-NAP) were prepared from metformin (MET) and two poorly water-soluble anti-inflammatory drugs (IBU and NAP) by the solvent evaporation method. The structures of these crystals were confirmed by single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, Hirshfeld surface, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermal analysis. Both MET-IBU and MET-NAP showed significantly improved solubility and intrinsic dissolution rate than the pure IBU or NAP. The stability test indicated that MET-IBU and MET-NAP have excellent physical stability under stressing test (10 days) and accelerated conditions (3 months). Moreover, isobolographic analysis suggested that MET-IBU and MET-NAP exerted potent and synergistic antinociceptive effects in λ-Carrageenan-induced inflammatory pain in mice, and both of them had an advantage in rapid pain relief. These results demonstrated the potential of MET-IBU and MET-NAP to achieve synergistic antinociceptive effects by developing drug-drug salt crystals.

Abstract
Maintaining the high catalytic activity of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) while reducing costs is a long-standing effort to promote the application of polymer electrolyte fuel cells. Here, the binding of nitrogen-containing ligands and carbon black is enhanced by controlling the pyrolysis conditions of a FeSO4 , 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), carbon black mixture, which significantly improves the ORR catalytic activity of the pyrolysis products. Preheating is proposed as a process improvement method using a heat treatment at a temperature between the melting and boiling points of phen before high-temperature pyrolysis, which achieves an effective combination of phen and carbon black, and enhances the interaction between phen and ferrous ions. This method substantially increases the number of FeNx active centers in the pyrolysis product, resulting in an impressive Fe-N/C catalyst with half-wave potential (E1/2 ) up to 0.93 V and a diffusion-limited current density (jL ) of 5.9 mA cm-2 and no obvious decay after 20 000 cyclic voltammetry cycles in 0.1 m KOH, which are all among the best-reported data known to date. The interaction between the ratio of Fe/phen and the pyrolysis conditions is also investigated. Under the right conditions, cheap raw materials can also generate highly catalytically active sites.

Abstract
Palbociclib (PAL) is an effective anti-breast cancer drug, but its use has been partly restricted due to poor bioavailability (resulting from extremely low water solubility) and serious adverse reactions. In this study, two cocrystals of PAL with resorcinol (RES) or orcinol (ORC) were prepared by evaporation crystallization to enhance their solubility. The cocrystals were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, Hirshfeld surface analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared and scanning electron microscopy. The intrinsic dissolution rates of the PAL cocrystals were determined in three different dissolution media (pH 1.0, pH 4.5 and pH 6.8), and both cocrystals showed improved dissolution rates at pH 1.0 and pH 6.8 in comparison to the parent drug. In addition, the cocrystals increased the solubility of PAL at pH 6.8 by 2-3 times and showed good stabilities in both the accelerated stability testing and stress testing. The PAL-RES cocrystal also exhibited an improved relative bioavailability (1.24 times) than PAL in vivo pharmacokinetics in rats. Moreover, the in vitro cytotoxicity assay of PAL-RES showed an increased IC50 value for normal cells, suggesting a better biosafety profile than PAL. Co-crystallization may represent a promising strategy for improving the physicochemical properties of PAL with better pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
To display the capability of the phenolic acid nutraceutical ferulic acid (FLA) in optimizing the in vitro/in vivo properties of the antiviral drug amantadine hydrochloride (AMH) and achieve synergistically enhanced antiviral effects, thereby gaining some new insights into pharmaceutical cocrystals of antiviral drugs with phenolic acid nutraceuticals, a cocrystallization strategy of dual optimization was created. Based on this strategy, the first drug-phenolic acid nutraceutical cocrystal of AMH with FLA, namely AMH-FLA-H2O, was successfully assembled and completely characterized by employing single-crystal X-ray diffraction and other analytical techniques. The cocrystal was revealed to be composed of AMH, FLA, and water molecules in the ratio of 3 : 1 : 1.5, and charge-assisted hydrogen bonds containing chloride ions crucially maintained the crystal lattice together with water molecules. The in vitro/in vivo properties of the cocrystal were systematically evaluated via both theoretical and experimental methods, and the results indicate that the dissolubility of AMH is down-regulated by two-thirds in the cocrystal, resulting in its potential for sustained pharmacokinetic release and the elimination of the adverse effects of AMH. More importantly, the enhanced antiviral effects of the current cocrystal were proven against four viral strains, and the pharmaceutical synergy between AMH and FLA was realized with a combination index (CI) of less than 1. Thus, the present work provides a novel crystalline product with bright commercial prospect for the classical antiviral drug AMH and also establishes an avenue for the synergetic antiviral application of nutraceutical phenolic acids via the cocrystallization strategy of dual optimization.

Abstract
The focus of the review is to discuss the relevant and essential aspects of pharmaceutical cocrystals in both academia and industry with an emphasis on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Although cocrystals have been prepared for a plethora of drugs, NSAID cocrystals are focused due to their humongous application in different fields of medication such as antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antiplatelet, antitumor, and anti-carcinogenic drugs. The highlights of the review are (a) background of cocrystals and other solid forms of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) based on the principles of crystal engineering, (b) why cocrystals are an excellent opportunity in the pharma industry, (c) common methods of preparation of cocrystals from the lab scale to bulk quantity, (d) some latest case studies of NSAIDs which have shown better physicochemical properties for example; mechanical properties (tabletability), hydration, solubility, bioavailability, and permeability, and (e) latest guidelines of the US FDA and EMA opening new opportunities and challenges.

Abstract
The present work reports two novel pharmaceutical co-crystals; 2:1 isoniazid-glutaric acid (INHGA) and 2:1 pyrazinamide-glutaric acid (PGA). Isoniazid and pyrazinamide are key first-line drugs used for the treatment of tuberculosis. The co-crystals were produced via solid-state and solvent assisted grinding methods. Thermal characteristics of the samples were obtained using the differential scanning calorimetry, hot stage microscopy, and thermogravimetric analyses. The morphology of the powder samples by scanning electron microscopy, structural analysis by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and powder X-rays diffraction ensured co-crystal formation. Thermal analyses confirmed the co-crystals with new melting transitions ranging between their respective starting materials. Unique morphologies of the co-crystal particles were clear in SEM micrographs. The formation of intermolecular interactions with the co-crystal former was confirmed by the FT-IR spectral band shifting and was supported by distinct PXRD patterns of co-crystals thereby authenticating the successful co-crystal formation. In vitro solubility evaluation of the synthesized co-crystals by HPLC suggested a remarkable increase in solubility of both INH and PZA in their respective co-crystals.
