Nanoconfinement of a Pharmaceutical Cocrystal with Praziquantel in Mesoporous Silica: The Influence of the Solid Form on Dissolution Enhancement.

Nanoconfinement is a recent strategy to enhance solubility and dissolution of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with poor biopharmaceutical properties. In this work, we combine the advantage of cocrystals of racemic praziquantel (PZQ) containing a water-soluble coformer (i.e.

Molecular recognition of cationic phenothiazinium and phenoxazinium dyes with pi-extended 2'-deoxyadenosine nucleotides.

N(6)-(N'-Arylcarbamoyl)-2'-deoxyadenosine-H-phosphonates displayed molecular recognition towards cationic phenothiazinium and phenoxazinium dyes in aqueous solutions; studies have shown that binding is driven mainly by aromatic interactions and that size and shape-complementarity of the aromatic rings in host and guest provides selectivity.
