Alkaptonuria (AKU) is a genetically determined disease associated with disorders of tyrosine metabolism. In AKU, the deposition of homogentisic acid polymers contributes to the pathological ossification of cartilage tissue. The controlled use of biomimetics similar to deposits observed in cartilage during AKU potentially may serve the development of new bone regeneration therapy based on the activation of osteoblasts.

A method is presented for determining the thermodynamic (equilibrium) solubility of a drug in coformer for the non-covalent derivative (NCD) systems i.e. eutectics/co-crystals.

Alcohol-induced dose dumping (AIDD) remains a serious challenge in the controlled delivery of high potency drugs, such as opioids, which requires extensive investigation and innovative solutions. Current technologies rely on ethanol-insoluble excipients, such as guar gum and sodium alginate, to counteract the increased solubility of hydrophobic polymeric excipients in ethanol. However, these excipients pose several shortcomings, such as high viscosity of coating dispersion, high solution temperature, rapid gelation, and heterogeneity of resulted film.

Herein, we establish the release of aliphatic acids in water upon excitation of 7-diethylaminothio-4-coumarinyl derivatives encapsulated within the organic host octa acid (OA). The 7-diethylaminothio-4-coumarinyl skeleton, employed here as the trigger, photoreleases caged molecules from the excited triplet state, in contrast to its carbonyl analogue, where the same reaction is known to occur from the excited singlet state. Encapsulation in OA solubilizes molecules in water that are otherwise water-insoluble, and retains the used trigger within itself following the release of the aliphatic acid.
