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.

Controlled release of drug via methylcellulose-carboxyvinylpolymer interpolymer complex solid dispersion.

TL;DR: It is shown that it is feasible to control the release of PHE from MC-CP solid dispersion granules by modulating complex formation between MC and CP, which can be accomplished by altering the MC/CP ratio and the molecular weight of MC.

Enhancing the Bioavailability of Cyclosporine A Using Solid Dispersion Containing Polyoxyethylene (40) Stearate

TL;DR: In vivo oral bioavailability of cyclosporine A from the solid dispersion in Wistar rats was comparable to that from a commercial product, Sandimmun Neoral® (P > 0.05); the formulation is stable up to six months under 30°C/RH60% and one year when packed in aluminum-polyethylene laminated bags.

Analytical and Computational Methods for the Estimation of Drug-Polymer Solubility and Miscibility in Solid Dispersions Development

TL;DR: It is of particular importance to assess the drug-polymer solubility and miscibility, to select suitable formulation (a type of polymer and drug loading), manufacturing process, and storage conditions, with the aim to ensure physical stability during the product shelf life.
