Meloxicam (MLX) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory which is practically insoluble in water, requiring high concentrations to reach therapeutic levels and causing frequently gastrointestinal effects. In this way, the aim of this study was to synthesize two eutectic mixtures of MLX with mandelic acid (MND) and saccharin (SAC) by liquid-assisted grinding resulting in a multicomponent material with enhanced solubility. Mixtures were studied in different stoichiometric and eutectic point was found for each eutectic by Binary phase diagram and Tamman's triangle, with 0.

Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol found in various plants, mainly in the bark of the red grapes. It has been widely studied due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer and anti-aging properties. The thermal behavior of resveratrol was investigated by using simultaneous thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC), evolved gas analysis (TG-DSC-FTIR) and High-resolution mass spectra (HRMS).

This work investigates the thermal behavior of α and β myo-inositol polymorphs. The inositol is a natural compound widely used in the food industry due to its presence in carbohydrate metabolism and its sweet taste. The occurrence of polymorphism could change some physico-chemical properties, such as melting and sublimation temperatures, and solubility.
