Pharmaceutical cocrystals offer a versatile approach to enhancing the properties of drug compounds, making them an important tool in formulation and development by improving therapeutic performance patient experience pharmaceutical products. The prediction involves using computational theoretical methods identify potential cocrystal formers understand interactions between active ingredient coformers. This process aims predict whether two or more molecules can form stable structure before performing experimental synthesis, thus saving time resources. In this review, commonly used are first overviewed then evaluated based on three criteria: efficiency, cost-effectiveness, user-friendliness. Based these considerations, we suggest researchers without strong experiences which tools should be tested as step workflow rational design cocrystals. However, optimal choice depends specific needs resources, combining from different categories powerful approach.

Enhancing the Screening Efficiency of Chiral Cocrystals for the Separation of Praziquantel through the Use of Coformer Derivatives

Cocrystallization has become an increasingly attractive method for the separation of chiral active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). However, screening process coformers (CFs) that are capable cocrystallizing with API and further producing cocrystals suitable enantiomeric resolution is often time-consuming may not always give desired results. One promising approaches involves prediction CF structures based on modification structure a known successful particular target molecule. This can lead to formation new different space groups be more resolution. In this study, we propose four similar malic acid, which been shown form diastereomeric praziquantel (PZQ), including tartaric methylsuccinic 2,3-dimethylsuccinic 2,2-dimethylsuccinic acid. Our findings demonstrated these CFs generate cocrystal PZQ some crystallized in Sohncke group, allows only enantiomerically pure crystal structure. Notably, meso-2,3-dimethylsuccinic acid shows potential forming rare conglomerate cocrystal. Furthermore, energetic was revealed by DFT calculation.

Pharmaceutical Cocrystals for Drug Delivery

Burger's Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Discovery, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown, С. 1 - 62

Опубликована: Май 26, 2025

Abstract Pharmaceutical cocrystals offer the ability to tune solubility, permeability, tableting, and bioavailability of a solid, oral drug formulation without changing chemical structure molecule. Crystal engineering pharmaceutical salts via supramolecular heterosynthons with acceptable generally recognized as safe (GRAS) coformers provides platform technology for improving efficacy optimal delivery. With almost 90% drugs in Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) class II IV suffering from low‐solubility and/or low‐permeability challenges, have provided an opportune intervention populating pipeline over past decade. From prototype cocrystal itraconazole‐succinic acid first salt‐cocrystal complex Entresto containing valsartan‐sacubitril, this review covers origins subject early 2000s peak growth curve model systems between 2005 2015, successful lab‐to‐market translation witnessed The combined application machine learning neural network tools is bringing speed accuracy research exercise designing drug–coformer therapeutic properties. This article snapshot summary latest trends leading discovery, development, continuous manufacturing.
