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.

Investigating the molecular structures of solid dispersions by the simulated annealing method

TL;DR: In this paper, the molecular structure of solid dispersions with hot melt preparation method by the simulated annealing method was investigated, and the results showed linear polymer chains formed the random coils under heat and the drug molecules stuck on the surface of polymer coils, while drug molecules are dispersed molecularly but irregularly within the amorphous low molecular weight carriers.

A review on solid dispersion

TL;DR: In this paper, a group of solid products consisting of at least two different components, generally a hydrophilic inert carrier or matrix and a hyrophobic drug, is defined.

Increasing solubility and dissolution rate of drugs via eutectic mixtures: itraconazole-poloxamer188 system

TL;DR: An increased solubility and dissolution rate of itraconazole can be achieved by forming a eutectic mixture using poloxamer 188 as a carrier.

Preparation and characterization of metoprolol controlled-release solid dispersions.

TL;DR: Results showed that the drug release from dispersions was at a slower rate than pure drug and physical mixtures, and the formulations containing greater ratios of Eudragit RSPO showed slower release rates and smaller DE8% but larger mean dissolution time than those containing greater ratio of EUDragit RLPO.

Use of Powdered Solutions to Improve The Dissolution Rate of Polythiazide Tablets

TL;DR: In this paper, polythiazide in polyethylene glycol 400 was mixed with microcrystalline cellulose (RC-591) and silica, and powder was incorporated into tablet formulations by direct compression.
