Abstract
Mechanochemistry is considered an alternative attractive greener approach to prepare diverse molecular compounds and has become an important synthetic tool in different fields (e.g., physics, chemistry, and material science) since is considered an ecofriendly procedure that can be carried out under solvent free conditions or in the presence of minimal quantities of solvent (catalytic amounts). Being able to substitute, in many cases, classical solution reactions often requiring significant amounts of solvents. These sustainable methods have had an enormous impact on a great variety of chemistry fields, including catalysis, organic synthesis, metal complexes formation, preparation of multicomponent pharmaceutical solid forms, etc. In this sense, we are interested in highlighting the advantages of mechanochemical methods on the obtaining of pharmaceutical cocrystals. Hence, in this review, we describe and discuss the relevance of mechanochemical procedures in the formation of multicomponent solid forms focusing on pharmaceutical cocrystals. Additionally, at the end of this paper, we collect a chronological survey of the most representative scientific papers reporting the mechanochemical synthesis of cocrystals.

Abstract
A new entry of chiral anti-hyperlipoproteinemia drug is reported, showing an excellent preferential enrichment (PE) phenomenon which is not caused by a polymorphic transition during crystallization, but is proposed to occur by a novel mechanism involving partially irregular stacking of R and S homochiral two-dimensional (2D) sheets with a large dipole moment, followed by selective redissolution of one homochiral 2D sheet into the mother liquor during crystallization. The cocrystal composed of (RS)-2-{4-[(4-chlorophenoxy)methyl]phenoxy}propionic acid (CPPPA) and achiral isonicotinamide exhibited a substantial enrichment in the mother liquor up to 93 % ee by simply repeating recrystallization under nonequilibrium conditions using high supersaturation. Furthermore, the deposited crystals with low ee values obtained at the end of PE experiment were second harmonic generation (SHG)-positive, indicating the formation of homochiral domains in the deposited crystals, which reflects the proposed mechanism of PE.

Abstract
We describe the synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant co-crystals by solvent-free sonochemistry starting from solid reagents. Employing a standard ultrasonic cleaning bath, quantitative conversions occurred within 20-60 minutes to give co-crystals of paracetamol and aspirin with a range of co-formers. As well as the utility of the method, the work raises interesting mechanistic questions regarding acoustic cavitation with no liquid phase being present.

Abstract
Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) Class II and IV drugs suffer from poor aqueous solubility and hence low bioavailability. Most of these drugs are hydrophobic and cannot be developed into a pharmaceutical formulation due to their poor aqueous solubility. One of the ways to enhance the aqueous solubility of poorlywater-soluble drugs is to use the principles of crystal engineering to formulate cocrystals of these molecules with water-soluble molecules (which are generally called coformers). Many researchers have shown that the cocrystals significantly enhance the aqueous solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs. In this review, we present a consolidated account of reports available in the literature related to the cocrystallization of poorly water-soluble drugs. The current practice to formulate new drug cocrystals with enhanced solubility involves a lot of empiricism. Therefore, in this work, attempts have been made to understand a general framework involved in successful (and unsuccessful) cocrystallization events which can yield different solid forms such as cocrystals, cocrystal polymorphs, cocrystal hydrates/solvates, salts, coamorphous solids, eutectics and solid solutions. The rationale behind screening suitable coformers for cocrystallization has been explained based on the rules of five i.e., hydrogen bonding, halogen bonding (and in general non-covalent bonding), length of carbon chain, molecular recognition points and coformer aqueous solubility. Different techniques to screen coformers for effective cocrystallization and methods to synthesize cocrystals have been discussed. Recent advances in technologies for continuous and solvent-free production of cocrystals have also been discussed. Furthermore, mechanisms involved in solubilization of these solid forms and the parameters influencing dissolution and stability of specific solid forms have been discussed. Overall, this review provides a consolidated account of the rationale for design of cocrystals, past efforts, recent developments and future perspectives for cocrystallization research which will be extremely useful for researchers working in pharmaceutical formulation development.

Abstract
The highly polymorphic compound ROY, notorious for the colour of its crystals, was the subject of an optimised high-throughput ultrasound-based co-crystal screen. This screen involved a computational pre-screen which highlighted an interaction between ROY and the potential co-former pyrogallol. We have shown that the presence of pyrogallol stabilises the amorphous form of ROY, highlighting the potential for future prediction of co-amorphous behaviours.
