Abstract

The diversity of solid-state forms that an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) may attain relies on the repertoire of non-covalent interactions and molecular assemblies, the range of order, and the balance between entropy and enthalpy that defines the free energy landscape. It is recognized that crystallization is associated with molecular recognition events that lead to self-assembly, and that pharmaceutical function and thermodynamic stability can be altered with a slight change in the interacting molecules or their molecular network motifs. Our current understanding of pharmaceutical solids in terms of molecular recognition and complementarity provides new insights into the design and function of single and fully miscible, multiple-component solids with varying degrees of order, from amorphous to crystalline states, and in this way is leading the path to supramolecular pharmaceutics. This review describes pharmaceutical solids in terms of supramolecular chemistry and crystal engineering concepts, and discusses the events that control crystallization and solid phase transformations.

Effect of particle size on surface modification of silica nanoparticles by using silane coupling agents and their dispersion stability in methylethylketone.

The effect of particle size on the reactivity of hexyltrimethoxysilane (C6S) with the particle surface was studied by using silica nanoparticles (SNPs) with different diameters (30 or 200 nm). In case of 30-nm SNPs, a large amount of isolated silanol was observed. On the other hand, in the case of 200-nm SNPs, the amount of hydrogen bonded silanol and hydrogen bonded water molecules at the surface of the SNPs increased. Since the hydrogen bonded silanol and the hydrogen bonded water enhanced the reaction of C6S with SNPs, the chemisorbed C6S on 200-nm SNPs was larger than that on 30-nm SNPs. Furthermore, the effects of surface modification on the dispersion stability in MEK were studied using viscosity measurements and surface force measurements by the AFM colloid probe method. The viscosity of the dilute SNPs/MEK suspension did not change by the chemisorptions of C6S; however, the viscosity of dense suspension reduced effectively by surface modification. It was estimated that the suspension viscosity reduced effectively when the mean particle surface distance in the suspension was near to the distance where the repulsive force appeared by the surface force measurements using the colloid probe AFM.

The molecular structure and vibrational spectra of 3-acetyl-4-[N-(2'-aminopyridinyl)-3-amino]-3-buten-2-one by Hartree-Fock and density functional theory calculations.

The molecular structure and vibrational spectra of 3-acetyl-4-[N-(2'-aminopyridinyl)-3-amino]-3-buten-2-one (C(11)H(13)N(3)O(2)) in the ground state have been investigated by Hartree-Fock and density functional method (B3LYP and BLYP) with 6-31G(d) basis set. The optimized geometric bond lengths and bond angles obtained by using HF and DFT show the best agreement with the experimental data. Comparison of the observed fundamental vibrational frequencies of title compound and calculated results by HF and DFT methods indicate that B3LYP is superior to the scaled HF approach for molecular problems.

Effect of surface interaction of silica nanoparticles modified by silane coupling agents on viscosity of methylethylketone suspension.

In order to control the viscosity of a dense silica methylethylketone (MEK) suspension, the surfaces of silica nanoparticles were modified by 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPS) or hexyltrimethoxysilane (C6S) in MEK with the addition of a small amount of pH-controlled water. First, the effect of water addition on the amount of chemisorbed coupling agent was investigated. pH-controlled water enhanced the reactivity of the coupling agent in MEK. The amount of chemisorbed coupling agent increased slightly with the addition of pH 3 water and increased remarkably with the addition of pH 12 water. Next, the effect of the organic functional groups of the coupling agent, pH of the additive water, and additive amount of coupling agent on surface interaction were determined by colloid probe AFM. The steric repulsive force between the silica nanoparticles increased due to water addition, particularly when the pH was maintained at 3. The viscosity of the silica MEK suspension reduced effectively when this repulsive force appeared; however, the optimum condition for reducing the suspension viscosity was dependent on the coupling agent species. The viscosity of the dense silica MEK suspension can be controlled by the addition of small amounts of pH-controlled water and the functional groups of the coupling agent.
