Purpose: To develop glibenclamide-nicotinamide cocrystals with the solvent evaporation method and evaluate their solubility and dissolution properties. Methods: Cocrystals of glibenclamide-nicotinamide (1:2) were prepared with the solvent evaporation method. The prediction of interactive cocrystals was observed using in silico method. The solubility and dissolution were performed as evaluation of cocrystals. The cocrystals also were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), infrared spectrophotometry, and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). Result: The solubility and dissolution profile of glibenclamide-nicotinamide cocrystal (1:2) increased significantly compared to pure glibenclamide as well as its physical mixture. Characterization of cocrystal glibenclamide-nicotinamide (1:2) including infrared Fourier transform, DSC, and PXRD, indicated the formation of a new solid crystal phase differing from glibenclamide and nicotinamide. Conclusion: The confirmation of cocrystal glibenclamide-nicotinamide (1:2) indicated the formation of new solid crystalline phases that differ from pure glibenclamide and its physical mixture

Purpose: To obtain quercetin-isonicotinamide co-crystal (CQINA) with improved physicochemical and in-vitro dissolution characteristics. Methods: Co-crystallization of quercetin (Q) and isonicotinamide (INA) in molar ratio of 1:1 was performed using solvent evaporation method with the addition of 50 mL of ethanol (99.9%, v/v). The resultant solution was thoroughly mixed and stirred at room temperature for 48 h to slowly evaporate the solvent until CQINA was obtained. The co-crystal phase was characterized using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), powder x-ray diffractometry (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. In-vitro dissolution was performed by USP method II in 900 mL citrate buffer (pH 5.0 ± 0.05), with stirring at 100 rpm and at 37 ± 0.5 °C. Results: Computational approach predicted the formation of hydrogen bonds between Q and coformers used, and the interaction involved minimum energy. In CQINA thermogram, a new endothermic peak was formed with a melting point of 255.26 °C, while Q (314.85 °C) and INA (156.62 °C). Images from DSC, PXRD, SEM and FTIR showed that the crystal habits and morphologies of the CQINA differed from those of the original components. There was an improvement in the dissolution profile of CQINA, when compared with those of the original components. Conclusion: Q and INA subjected to solvent evaporation result in the formation of a CQINA with different crystal habit, which possess physicochemical characteristics different from those of its constituents. Modification of Q crystals in CQINA increases its in vitro dissolution, making it a potential pharmaceutical agent.

A possible cocrystal formation between metaxalone and short-chain dicarboxylic acids (HOOC-(CH2)n-COOH, n=0-3) was quickly investigated using a solvent-assisted grinding approach. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microspectroscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) were used to verify the cocrystal formation between metaxalone and each dicarboxylic acid. A solvent evaporation method was used to prepare the standard cocrystal. The cocrystal formation was also estimated by using a one-step simultaneous DSC-FTIR microspectroscopy. The present study indicates that only n=2 of short-chain dicarboxylic acids such as succinic acid, fumaric acid and maleic acid could form a cocrystal with metaxalone. Both solvent-assisted grinding technique and solvent evaporation method were successfully applied to prepare the metaxalone cocrystal with n=2 of short-chain dicarboxylic acids. Moreover, this cocrystal formation was also easily screened and estimated using a unique DSC-FTIR microspectroscopy in real time.

Poor aqueous solubility of drugs results in poor absorption and bioavailability.  The objective of Solid dispersion technology is to increase the dissolution properties of highly lipophilic drugs, by using different hydrophilic carriers thereby improving their bioavailability. This technology is useful for enhancing the dissolution, absorption and therapeutic efficacy of drugs in dosage forms.  Albendazole is a broad-spectrum antihelminthic agent used for the treatment of a variety of parasitic worm infestations. It is practically insoluble in water but slightly soluble in solvents like chloroform, methanol, ethyl acetate, and acetonitrile. The aim of our study was to improve the dissolution profile of Albendazole using HPMC K 100 LV, Kollidon VA64 and Mannitol as carriers by solid dispersion techniques. From the prepared solid dispersion, formulation code CSF5 showed better result where carrier was HMPC K 100 LV at 1:10 ratio in solvent evaporation method. Among the carrier used here to conduct our study, HPMC K 100 LV showed better result for both kneading and solvent evaporation methods. And among the method employed here, solvent evaporation method showed better solubility of drug at 60 min also at 1:10 ratio which was 78.86%.

In the present research, newly developed complex with sodium caprylate was investigated for solubility and dissolution enhancement of eluxadoline. Complexes were prepared in different ratios by solvent evaporation method and characterised solubility study, Infrared spectroscopy (IR), Diffrential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), drug content analysis and in vitro Drug release. The solubility and dissolution rate revealed most suitable ratio of eluxadoline and sodium caprylate (1:4). The IR, DSC and X-RD data also confirmed the results. It was concluded that complex prepared with (1:4 drug:sodium caprylate ratio) using solvent evaporation method showed significant improvement in solubility and drug dissolution.

Tadalafil is used for the treatment of the erectile dysfunction (ED) and pulmonary arterial hypertension. It is having low aqueous solubility thus it shows poor bioavailability of about 28% by after oral administration. To improve its solubility and dissolution profile solid dispersions (SDPs) of Tadalafil was prepared by physical mixing and solvent evaporation method using polyvinyl pyrollidone-K30 (PVP-30) as a hydrophilic polymeric carrier in different proportions with respect to drug (drug to polymer ratio 1:1 to 1:5). Drug and polymer compatibility studies were performed using FTIR study. The best suitable ratio and method was selected on the basis of enhanced aqueous solubility of drugs. Further selected SDPs were evaluated for various parameters like DSC analysis, percentage yield, percent drug content, saturation solubility, percent drug dissolution and stability studies. FTIR study indicated no incompatibility between Tadalafil and PVP-K30. SDPs prepared with drug to polymer ratio 1:3 and solvent evaporation method was found to be best as they shown significant increased (up to 10 fold) in aqueous solubility in comparison with that of others. DSC study also suggested the depression in the crystalline nature of Tadalafil. Selected SDPs exhibited good stability up to 3 months at 25 ± 2°C /60 ± 5% RH. Based on the results it can be concluded that, SDPs shown remarkable increase in the aqueous solubility and dissolution of Tadalafil and it may improve oral bioavailability of drug as compared with plain drug.

The aim of the study was to improve the in-vitro dissolution rate of quercetin (Qu) using cocrystallization of quercetin. Cocrystals of quercetin (Co Qu) were produced with malonic acid (Ma) as coformer at ratio 1:2 using solvent evaporation method. Cocrystals quercetin-malonic acid (Co Qu-Ma) was characterized using Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA), Powder X-Ray Diffraction (PXRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and Fourier Transforms Infrared Spectrophotometer (FTIR) and in-vitro dissolution study. A new endothermic peak at 277.9 °C was shown from the thermogram. Diffractogram of Co Qu-Ma showed a new diffraction peak at 2θ 9.81, 12.99, and 19.80°. Microphotograph showed that Qu and Ma exhibited a columnar-shaped and a pebble-shaped crystal, respectively, and FTIR wavenumber of O-H functional group of quercetin was shifted from its original position at 3411 to 3428 cm-1 in the physical mixture (pm) of Qu-Ma and 3418 cm-1 in Co Qu-Ma, respectively. The physicochemical characterizations using DTA, PXRD, SEM and FTIR indicated that Co Qu-Ma were successfully obtained through solvent evaporation method. The in-vitro dissolution rate of Co Qu-Ma was 95.30% at 60 min. Cocrystals effectively increased dissolution rate and dissolution efficiency in comparison to the pure quercetin and physical mixture of quercetin-malonic acid.
