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.read more

Binary Mixtures of Some Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients with Fatty Alcohols-The Criteria of Successful Eutectic Formation and Dissolution Improvement.
TL;DR: Only ibuprofen was able to form eutectics with the fatty alcohols, and this was in agreement with the feasibility prediction based on the van ’t Hoff equation and solubility parameters, although the practical insolubility of octadecanol in water was the opposite of the outstanding hydrophilicity of usual eutECTic formers.
