dc.description.abstract | Improving the dissolution and pharmacokinetics of the poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredient, AMG 517, through cocrystallization was investigated. Correlations between the in vitro powder and intrinsic dissolution in fasted simulated intestinal fluid and the in vivo rat pharmacokinetics of 16 cocrystals were examined. A detailed exploration of the behaviors of corresponding carboxylic acid and amide cocrystal pairs utilizing single crystal structure analysis to elucidate results is also performed. All cocrystals exhibit increased intrinsic and powder dissolution rates as well as area under the concentration-time curve and maximum plasma concentration in rat pharmacokinetic investigations compared to the free base. Linear regression analysis leads to a moderate in vitro/in vivo correlation. The incorporation of an amide rather than the more common carboxylic acid cocrystal former affords unique properties in one case. In silico tools describing the crystal faces, attachment energy and crystal morphology, are constructive in relating the crystals physical properties. | |
