Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:1747. [PMID: 37376195 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15061747] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Revised: 05/31/2023] [Accepted: 06/14/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Polymorphism is a common phenomenon among single- and multicomponent molecular crystals that has a significant impact on the contemporary drug development process. A new polymorphic form of the drug carbamazepine (CBZ) cocrystal with methylparaben (MePRB) in a 1:1 molar ratio as well as the drug's channel-like cocrystal containing highly disordered coformer molecules have been obtained and characterized in this work using various analytical methods, including thermal analysis, Raman spectroscopy, and single-crystal and high-resolution synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction. Structural analysis of the solid forms revealed a close resemblance between novel form II and previously reported form I of the [CBZ + MePRB] (1:1) cocrystal in terms of hydrogen bond networks and overall packing arrangements. The channel-like cocrystal was found to belong to a distinct family of isostructural CBZ cocrystals with coformers of similar size and shape. Form I and form II of the 1:1 cocrystal appeared to be related by a monotropic relationship, with form II being proven to be the thermodynamically more stable phase. The dissolution performance of both polymorphs in aqueous media was significantly enhanced when compared with parent CBZ. However, considering the superior thermodynamic stability and consistent dissolution profile, the discovered form II of the [CBZ + MePRB] (1:1) cocrystal seems a more promising and reliable solid form for further pharmaceutical development.

Novel Ascorbic Acid Co-Crystal Formulations for Improved Stability. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27227998. [PMID: 36432100 PMCID: PMC9699323 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27227998] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2022] [Revised: 11/10/2022] [Accepted: 11/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
A series of co-crystals of ascorbic acid were prepared with equimolar amounts of co-crystal formers (CCFs), including isonicotinic acid, nicotinic acid, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid and m-hydroxybenzoic acid, by slow solvent evaporation and solvent-assisted grinding. The co-crystals were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations further validated the interaction energy and the possible intermolecular hydrogen bonds among VC and CCFs. The co-crystals showed improved stability when exposed to different wavelengths of light, pH and temperatures compared to the free analogue, especially at higher pH (~9) and lower temperature (~4 °C).

Formation Thermodynamics of Carbamazepine with Benzamide, Para-Hydroxybenzamide and Isonicotinamide Cocrystals: Experimental and Theoretical Study. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14091881. [PMID: 36145629 PMCID: PMC9501737 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14091881] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2022] [Revised: 09/01/2022] [Accepted: 09/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Formation thermodynamic parameters for three cocrystals of carbamazepine (CBZ) with structurally related coformers (benzamide (BZA), para-hydroxybenzamide (4-OH-BZA) and isonicotinamide (INAM)) were determined by experimental (cocrystal solubility and competitive reaction methods) and computational techniques. The experimental solubility values of cocrystal components at eutectic points and solubility product of cocrystals [CBZ + BZA], [CBZ + 4-OH-BZA], and [CBZ + INAM] in acetonitrile at 293.15 K, 298.15 K, 303.15 K, 308.15 K, and 313.15 K were measured. All the thermodynamic functions (Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, and entropy) of cocrystals formation were evaluated from the experimental data. The crystal structure of [CBZ + BZA] (1:1) cocrystal was solved and analyzed by the single crystal X-ray diffractometry. A correlation between the solubility products and pure coformers solubility values has been found for CBZ cocrystals. The relationship between the entropy term and the molecular volume of the cocrystal formation has been revealed. The effectiveness of the estimation of the cocrystal formation thermodynamic parameters, based on the knowledge of the melting temperatures of active pharmaceutical ingredients, coformers, cocrystals, as well as the sublimation Gibbs energies and enthalpies of the individual components, was proven. A new method for the comparative assessment of the cocrystal stability based on the H-bond propensity analysis was proposed. The experimental and theoretical results on the thermodynamic parameters of the cocrystal formation were shown to be in good agreement. According to the thermodynamic stability, the studied cocrystals can be arranged in the following order: [CBZ + 4-OH-BZA] > [CBZ + BZA] > [CBZ + INAM].

Int J Pharm 2022; 620:121759.

Abstract
Cocrystal is constructed to improve physicochemical properties of active pharmaceutical ingredient and prevent polymorphism via intermolecular interactions. However, recent examples on cocrystal polymorphs display significantly different properties. Even though some analytical techniques have been used to characterize the cocrystal polymorphic system, it remains unclear how intermolecular interactions drive and stabilize the structure. In this work, we study the cocrystal polymorphs of nifedipine (NFD) and isonicotinamide (INA) using terahertz (THz) spectroscopy. Form I and form II of NFD-INA cocrystals show spectral fingerprints in THz region. Temperature-dependent THz spectra display distinguished frequency shifts of each fingerprint. Combined with solid-state density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the experimental fingerprints and their distinct responses to temperature are elucidated by specific collective vibrational modes. The vibrations of hydrogen bonding between dihydropyridine ring of NFD and INA are generally distributed below 1.5 THz, which play important roles in stabilizing cocrystal and preventing the oxidation of NFD. The rotations of methyl group in NFD are widely distributed in the range of 1.5-4.0 THz, which helps the steric recognition. The results demonstrate that THz spectroscopy is a sensitive tool to discriminate cocrystal polymorphs. It has the potential to be used as a non-invasive technique for pharmaceutical screening.

Tailoring Chlorthalidone Aqueous Solubility by Cocrystallization: Stability and Dissolution Behavior of a Novel Chlorthalidone-Caffeine Cocrystal. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14020334.

Abstract
A cocrystal of the antihypertensive drug chlorthalidone (CTD) with caffeine (CAF) was obtained (CTD-CAF) by the slurry method, for which a 2:1 stoichiometric ratio was found by powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Cocrystal CTD-CAF showed a supramolecular organization in which CAF molecules are embedded in channels of a 3D network of CTD molecules. The advantage of the cocrystal in comparison to CTD is reflected in a threefold solubility increase and in the dose/solubility ratios, which diminished from near-unit values for D0D to 0.29 for D0CC. Furthermore, dissolution experiments under non-sink conditions showed improved performance of CTD-CAF compared with pure CTD. Subsequent studies showed that CTD-CAF cocrystals transform to CTD form I where CTD precipitation inhibition could be achieved in the presence of pre-dissolved polymer HPMC 80–120 cPs, maintaining supersaturation drug concentrations for at least 180 min. Finally, dissolution experiments under sink conditions unveiled that the CTD-CAF cocrystal induced, in pH-independent manner, faster and more complete CTD dissolution when compared to commercial tablets of CTD. Due to the stability and dissolution behavior of the novel CTD-CAF cocrystal, it could be used to develop solid dosage forms using a lower CTD dose to obtain the same therapeutic response and fewer adverse effects.

Abstract
Cocrystal engineering have been widely applied in pharmaceutical, chemistry and material fields. However, how to effectively choose coformer has been a challenging task on experiments. Here we develop a graph neural network (GNN) based deep learning framework to quickly predict formation of the cocrystal. In order to capture main driving force to crystallization from 6819 positive and 1052 negative samples reported by experiments, a feasible GNN framework is explored to integrate important prior knowledge into end-to-end learning on the molecular graph. The model is strongly validated against seven competitive models and three challenging independent test sets involving pharmaceutical cocrystals, π-π cocrystals and energetic cocrystals, exhibiting superior performance with accuracy higher than 96%, confirming its robustness and generalization. Furthermore, one new energetic cocrystal predicted is successfully synthesized, showcasing high potential of the model in practice. All the data and source codes are available at https://github.com/Saoge123/ccgnet for aiding cocrystal community.

Abstract
Carbamazepine (CBZ) is an antiepileptic drug having low bioavailability due to its hydrophobic nature. In the current study, efforts are made to investigate the effect of dicarboxylic acid coformer spacer groups (aliphatic chain length) on physicochemical properties, relative humidity (RH) stability, and oral bioavailability of CBZ cocrystals. Slurry crystallization technique was employed for the preparation of CBZ cocrystals with the following coformers: adipic (AA), glutaric (GA), succinic (SA), and malonic acid (MA). Powder X-ray diffractometry and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed cocrystal preparation. Physicochemical properties, RH stability, and oral bioavailability of cocrystals were investigated. Among the prepared cocrystals, CBZ-GA showed maximum solubility as well as improved dissolution profile (CBZ-GA > CBZ-MA > CBZ-AA > pure CBZ > CBZ-SA) in ethanol. Maximum RH stability was shown by CBZ-AA, CBZ-SA, and CBZ-MA. In vivo studies confirmed boosted oral bioavailability of cocrystals compared to pure CBZ. Furthermore, in vivo studies depicted the oral bioavailability order of cocrystals as CBZ-GA > CBZ-MA > Tegral® > CBZ-AA > CBZ-SA > pure CBZ. Thus, pharmaceutical scientists can effectively employ cocrystallization technique for tuning physicochemical properties of hydrophobic drugs to achieve the desired oral bioavailability. Overall, results reflect no consistent effect of spacer group on physicochemical properties, RH stability, and oral bioavailability of cocrystals.

Abstract
Nowadays the use of sustainable polymers as poly-lactic acid (PLA) and poly-δ-decalactone (PDL) in drug delivery is advantageous compared to polymers derived from fossil fuels. The present work aimed to produce microparticles (MPs) derived from novel sustainable polymers, loaded with triamcinolone acetonide (TA) for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis via intra-articular (IA) delivery. PDL was synthesized from green δ-decalactone monomers and co-polymerized with methoxy-polyethylene glycol (mPEG) forming PEG-PDL with different molecular weights. The Hansen's solubility parameters were applied to select the most compatible polymer with the drug. An o/w emulsion/solvent evaporation technique was used for MPs fabrication, using 3 [3] full factorial design. Selection of the optimized MPs was performed using Expert Design® software's desirability function. The optimized formulations were characterized using scanning electron microscope, powder X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, infrared spectroscopy and in vitro release studies. The inhibition percents of inflammation and histopathological studies were assessed in complete Freund's adjuvant-induced rats' knee joints evaluating the effect of IA injections of selected MPs compared to the free drug suspension. Solubility studies revealed high compatibility and miscibility between TA and PEG-PDL1700, which was blended with PLA for convenient MPs formation. The in vitro characterization studies confirmed the formation of drug-copolymer co-crystals. The in vivo studies ensured the superiority of the newly designed composite MPs in inflammation suppression, compared to the free drug suspension and PLA MPs as well. The present study proved the advantage of using sustainable polymers in a novel combination for effective drug delivery and suggesting its usefulness in designing versatile platforms for therapeutic applications.
