Gliclazide
(GCZ), tolbutamide (TOL), and glipizide (GPZ) are BCS
class II antidiabetic drugs with poor aqueous solubility. Multicomponent
solid forms, salts, and cocrystals of GCZ were obtained upon liquid
assisted grinding with coformers of catechol, resorcinol, p-toluenesulfonic acid, and piperazine. The solubility of
TOL was also modified by salt formation with piperazine (PPZ). The
multicomponent solids were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction,
powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,
differential scanning calorimetry, and thermal gravimetric analysis
and further subjected to solubility studies. The cocrystals/salts,
in all cases, showed improvements in the solubility and dissolution
rates compared to the parent active pharmaceutical ingredients. GCZ–PPZ
and TOL–PPZ(I) showed 6.6 and 80 and fold enhancements respectively
in the solubility. The reasons for the improved solubility of the
cocrystals/salts in terms of drug–coformer interactions are
discussed.
In C–H⋯π interaction, the relative π-electron localization in aromatic ring led to the change of contact position from centre to edges of the ring (C–H⋯πe) which was confirmed by experimental evidences, computational criteria, and database analysis.
Small changes in the ligand resulted in a conformational variation of LPy to LPz which led to high and low Z′ structures in the corresponding metal complexes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
