“…In this methodology, a thin glass capillary tube containing the substance to be determined was introduced into a heated stand (liquid paraffin) in close proximity to a high accuracy thermometer. The temperature in the heating stand was raised at a fixed rate until the sample in the tube transitioned into the liquid state [19] . Drug content was estimated by dissolving weighed quantities of cocrystals in 5% w/v aqueous N,Ndimethylformamide in triplicate.…”

Gadade, et al.: Crystal Engineering of LornoxicamAn attempt was made to improve the solubility and physicochemical properties of the poorly soluble lornoxicam by crystal engineering with different coformers. Nineteen different coformers were screened during this study. Cocrystals were prepared by neat grinding method. The prepared cocrystals were evaluated for solubility, powder characteristics, assay and in vitro dissolution study. The solid state property was characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction analysis and Raman spectroscopy. Maximum solubility and dissolution rate were observed with cocrystal prepared using saccharin sodium. Cocrystallization leads to increased solubility and improved in vitro dissolution of lornoxicam.

“…On the one hand, cocrystals are unexpectedly formed during processing [118][119][120] while on the other researchers will require the cautious selection of cocrystal design approach as in some cases, cocrystals are not formed as per predictions which indicate challenges in formulating cocrystals. 137 Cocrystal's ability to flourish desired physicochemical and biopharmaceutical properties of API to the optimal extent open a new landscape to Cocrystals of multiple active ingredients can be formulated as fixed dose combinations for better therapeutic applications. It will stimulate investigation of old API's to see new benefits.…”
“…Hansen solubility parameters of EFV and FA were computed by using the group contribution method following the collective utilization models of Fedors and Van Krevelen-Hoftyzer. The solubility parameter components were computed from group contributions (F) and molar volume (Vm), using the following equations where δd represent dispersion forces energy, δp represents polar forces energy and δh represents hydrogen bonding energy 16,17 .…”
In the current study, we attempted to improve the physicochemical properties of antiviral drug efavirenz through the cocrystal synthesis. The neat grinding performed to study the effect of coformer-fumaric acid (FA) on solubility and dissolution of efavirenz, which can serve as the green cocrystal synthesis approach. The prepared cocrystals were characterized for characteristics like powder flow properties, aqueous saturation solubility, in vitro powder dissolution study. The synthesized cocrystals were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, powder X-ray diffraction. The formation of a cocrystal of efavirenz and caffeine was confirmed by the characterization techniques which suggests the interactions between efavirenz and coformer-fumaric acid leads to cocrystal formation. The powder flow properties, solubility, and dissolution profile of efavirenz are significantly improved by its cocrystallization.
