This review seeks to offer a broad perspective that encompasses an understanding of the drug product attributes affected by active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) physical properties, their link to solid form selection and the role of particle engineering. While the crucial role of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) solid form selection is universally acknowledged in the pharmaceutical indu...

The emerging role of supramolecular chemistry and crystal engineering in pharmaceutical science has been influenced significantly by the interest in pharmaceutical cocrystals. Pharmaceutical co-crystals are co-crystals that are formed between an API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) and a co-crystal former that is a solid under ambient conditions. APIs contain functional groups that engage in ...
