Cocrystals of the Tuberculosis Drug Isoniazid: Polymorphism, Isostructurality, and Stability

TL;DR: In this article, a cocrystal screen with pharmaceutically acceptable molecules selected from the generally regarded as safe (GRAS) was performed to improve the physiochemical properties of Isoniazid.

A material science perspective of pharmaceutical solids.

TL;DR: This review introduces the basic material science concepts and principles behind some common topics in the development of pharmaceutical solid formulations, and potential energy states of different phases are highlighted as the key connection between the physical nature of the materials and their pharmaceutical behavior.

Crystalline forms of a bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor

TL;DR: The Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) inhibitor 1-((R)-3-(4-amino-3-( 4-phenoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-1-yl)piperidin]-prop-2-en-one, including crystalline forms, solvates and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, is described in this article, as well as methods of using the Btk inhibitor, alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents, for

Pharmaceutical Liquid Crystals: The Relevance of Partially Ordered Systems

TL;DR: The general structural characteristics that favor the formation of liquid crystalline mesophases are categorized by therapeutic target and molecular size, and the analytical means of their identification are presented.

A prolific solvate former, galunisertib, under the pressure of crystal structure prediction, produces ten diverse polymorphs

TL;DR: The crystal structures of all 10 unsolvated polymorphs of galunisertib are presented, showing how state-of-the-art characterization methods can be combined with emerging computational modelling techniques to produce a complete structure landscape and assess the risk of late appearing, more stable polymorphs.

Mechanism of sustained‐action medication. Theoretical analysis of rate of release of solid drugs dispersed in solid matrices

TL;DR: The analyses suggest that for the latter system the time required to release 50% of the drug would normally be expected to be approximately 10 per cent of that required to dissolve the last trace of the solid drug phase in the center of the pellet.

The united states pharmacopeia.

Robert A. Hatcher
- 04 Jan 1908 - 
TL;DR: The Pharmacopeia was called into being by physicians in 1820, and in 1850 pharmacists were admitted to the convention; since then physicians have gradually relinquished control to pharmacists, and to-day the authors are confronted with an anomalous condition.
