Preparation of pharmaceutical cocrystal formulations via melt mixing technique: A thermodynamic perspective

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the thermodynamic properties of in-situ formation of cocrystal formulations by the melt-mixing method. Specifically, the thermodynamic mixing behaviour of carbamazepine-nicotinamide and ibuprofen-nicotinamide cocrystals prepared with the aid of Soluplus® (SOL) were evaluated using thermodynamic lattice-based solution theories. Thermodynamic miscibility of both cocrystals with SOL was predicted by...
