Frontiers in Chemistry

Review examines cocrystal performance and barriers to clinical translation

A Frontiers in Chemistry review examines pharmaceutical cocrystals as a way to modify dissolution and related biopharmaceutical properties without changing an API's chemical identity. The abstract distinguishes solubility-limited BCS II drugs from permeability-limited BCS IV drugs. It highlights gastrointestinal instability, manufacturing reproducibility, coformer selection, and limited pharmacokinetic evidence. Much of the reported performance evidence remains preclinical.

AAPS Open

Compaction density reveals reversible urea polymorph changes under pressure

An AAPS Open study used a compaction simulator to track reversible density changes in urea between 600 and 900 MPa, consistent with its known form I-to-III transformation. The original abstract proposes in-die density monitoring as a material-sparing screen for pressure-induced phase changes. Applicability depends on a sufficiently large density difference; urea is the demonstrated model compound.
