Development of direct compression Acetazolamide tablet with improved bioavailability in healthy human volunteers enabled by cocrystallization with p-Aminobenzoic acid.

Pharmaceutical cocrystallization has been widely used to improve physicochemical properties of APIs. However, developing cocrystal formulation with proven clinical success remains scarce. Successful translation of a cocrystal to suitable dosage forms requires simultaneously improvement of several deficient physicochemical properties over the parent API, without deteriorating other properties critical for successful product development.

Exploring the Antibacterial Potential of Semisynthetic Phytocannabinoid: Tetrahydrocannabidiol (THCBD) as a Potential Antibacterial Agent against Sensitive and Resistant Strains of .

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most challenging problems and is responsible for millions of deaths every year. We therefore urgently require new chemical entities with novel mechanisms of action. Phytocannabinoids have been adequately reported for the antimicrobial effect but not seriously pursued because of either stringent regulatory issues or poor drug-like properties.

Mechanosynthesis of Stable Salt Hydrates of Allopurinol with Enhanced Dissolution, Diffusion, and Pharmacokinetics.

Allopurinol (ALO) is a medication that treats gout and kidney stones by lowering uric acid synthesis in the blood. The biopharmaceutics classification system (BCS) IV drug exhibits poor aqueous solubility, permeability, and bioavailability. To overcome the bottlenecks of ALO, salts with maleic acid (MLE) and oxalic acid (OXA) were synthesized using the solvent-assisted grinding method.

Study on Sulfamethoxazole-Piperazine Salt: A Mechanistic Insight into Simultaneous Improvement of Physicochemical Properties.

Multidrug salts represent more than one drug in a crystal lattice and thus could be used to deliver multiple drugs in a single dose. It showcases unique physicochemical properties in comparison to individual components, which could lead to improved efficacy and therapeutic synergism. This study presents the preparation and scale-up of sulfamethoxazole-piperazine salt, which has been thoroughly characterized by X-ray diffraction and thermal and spectroscopic analyses.

Development of ezetimibe eutectic with improved biopharmaceutical and mechanical properties to design an optimized oral solid dosage formulation.

Eutectics are multicomponent systems which are an alternative to the conventional techniques for modulating the biopharmaceutical properties of a pharmaceutical. Ezetimibe (ETZ) is a hypocholesterolemic agent with limited dissolution, poor water solubility, and subsequently demonstrates low oral bioavailability. Additionally, ETZ exhibits poor mechanical properties, leading to difficulties in developing dosage forms through direct compression.

Investigating the Role of the Reduced Solubility of the Pirfenidone-Fumaric Acid Cocrystal in Sustaining the Release Rate from Its Tablet Dosage Form by Conducting Comparative Bioavailability Study in Healthy Human Volunteers.

Pirfenidone (PFD) is the first pharmacological agent approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2014 for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The recommended daily dosage of PFD in patients with IPF is very high (2403 mg/day) and must be mitigated through additives. In the present work, sustained-release (SR) formulations of the PFD-FA cocrystal of two different strengths such as 200 and 600 mg were prepared and its comparative bioavailability in healthy human volunteers was studied against the reference formulation PIRFENEX (200 mg).
