Co-crystallization studies were undertaken to improve the solubility of a highly water-insoluble drug febuxostat (FXT), used in the treatment of gout and hyperuricemia. The selection of co-crystal former (CCF) mols. such as 1-hydroxy 2-naphthoic acid (1H-2NPH), 4-hydroxy benzoic acid (4-HBA), salicylic acid (SAC), 5-nitro isophthalic acid (5-NPH), isonicotinamide (ISNCT), and picolinamide (PICO) was based on the presence of complementary functional groups capable of forming hydrogen bond and the ΔpKa difference between FXT and CCF. A liquid-assisted grinding (LAG) method was successfully employed for the rapid screening of various pharmaceutical adducts. These adducts were characterized based on their unique thermal (differential scanning calorimetry) and spectroscopic (Fourier transform IR and Raman spectroscopy) profiles. Binary phase diagrams (BPD) were plotted to establish a relationship between the thermal events and adduct formed. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) studies were carried out to confirm the formation of eutectic/co-crystal. Thermogravimetric anal. (TGA) was also performed for the novel co-crystals obtained. The propensity for strong homo-synthons over weak hetero-synthons and strong hetero-synthons over weak homo-synthons during supramol. growth resulted in the formation of eutectics and co-crystals resp. FXT:1H-2NPH (1), FXT:4-HBA (1), FXT:SAC (1, 2), and FXT:5-NPH (2-1) gave rise to pure eutectic systems, while FXT:ISNCT (2-1) and FXT:PICO (1) gave rise to novel co-crystals with characteristic DSC heating curves and PXRD pattern. Addnl., the impact of microenvironmental pH and microspeciation profile on the improved dissolution profile of the co-crystals was discussed.
