TLDR
Current research in the stabilization of amorphous solids focuses on the stabilize of labile substances during processing and storage using additives, the prevention of crystallization of the excipients that must remainAmorphous for their intended functions, and the selection of appropriate storage conditions under which amorphously solids are stable.

Pharmaceutical particle engineering via spray drying.

TL;DR: A classification based on dimensionless numbers is presented that can be used to estimate how excipient properties in combination with process parameters influence the morphology of the engineered particles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal engineering of active pharmaceutical ingredients to improve solubility and dissolution rates.

TL;DR: The concept and theory of crystal engineering is covered and the potential benefits, disadvantages and methods of preparation of co-crystals, metastable polymorphs, high-energy amorphous forms and ultrafine particles are discussed.

Strategies to Address Low Drug Solubility in Discovery and Development

TL;DR: The article provides an integrated and contemporary discussion of current approaches to solubility and dissolution enhancement but has been deliberately structured as a series of stand-alone sections to allow also directed access to a specific technology where required.

Solubility Advantage of Amorphous Drugs and Pharmaceutical Cocrystals

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed several novel examples of pharmaceutical cocrystals from the past decade and analyzed the enhanced solubility profiles of cocrystal profiles, showing that the peak dissolution for pharmaceutical cocystals occurs in a short time (<30 min), and high-solubility is maintained over a sufficiently long period (4-6 h) for the best cases.

The stability of cyclophosphamide in lyophilized cakes. Part I. Mannitol, lactose, and sodium bicarbonate as excipients.

TL;DR: In the cakes containing mannitol or sodium bicarbonate as adjuvants, differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction showed that cyclophosphamide was converted from the amorphous to the monohydrate form when exposed to moisture, and exhibited improved stability.

Determination of enthalpy relaxation times using traditional differential scanning calorimetry for glycerol and for propylene glycol

TL;DR: In this article, the isothermal enthalpy relaxation of glycerol and propylene glycol is studied for different subglass transition annealing temperatures using our usual method using the Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts model.

Thermal analysis of amorphous phase in a pharmaceutical drug

TL;DR: In this paper, TSC spectroscopy and DSC were applied to the characterization of the microstructure of a pharmaceutical drug and the results showed that TSC was more accurate than DSC.
