TLDR
In this paper, it was observed that a eutectic mixture of sulfathiazole and urea produces a microcrystalline suspension of the drug in water, which can be used to adjust the therapeutic effect of medical compounds.
Abstract
1) Sulfathiazole forms eutectic mixtures with urea, l-ascorbic acid, acetamide, nicotinic acid, nicotinamide, or succinimide. It was observed that a eutectic mixture of sulfathiazole and urea produces a microcrystalline suspension of sulfathiazole in water. 2) Sulfathiazole in a eutectic mixture with urea shows higher absorption and excretion after oral administration than ordinary sulfathiazole. 3) Since urea does not possess solubilizing action on sulfathiazole and also it does not enhance absorption of the drug physiologically, the accelerated absorption or excretion must be attributed to the physical state of sulfathiazole in its eutectic mixture with easily soluble compound, such as urea. 4) It is assumed that this new form of preparation will give a means of adjusting therapeutic effect of medical compounds.

Bioavailability enhancement of a COX-2 inhibitor, BMS-347070, from a nanocrystalline dispersion prepared by spray-drying

TL;DR: It was found that BMS-347070, when spray-dried with Pluronic F127 from acetone or methylene chloride, was dispersed as nanosized crystalline drug within the water-soluble Pluronics matrix, resulting in a fast-onset formulation with bioavailability comparable to that of a solubilized and a NanoCrystal formulation.

The preparation of a solid dispersion powder of indomethacin with crospovidone using a twin-screw extruder or kneader.

TL;DR: A solid dispersion powder of indomethacin (IM) with CrosPVP was prepared continuously using a twin-screw extruder (extruder) or twin- screw kneader (kneader), which made it possible to simultaneously control kneading, mixing, and heating.
