Telmisartan (TEL), a type of antihypertensive drug, has poor solubility. To improve its solubility, the co-amorphous telmisartan with pimelic acid (PA) in molar ratio of 1:1 and 2:1, respectively, were obtained using a liquid-assisted grinding method. The co-amorphous system was characterized by the powder X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. The molecular interactions of the co-amorphous were studied by the infrared spectra. After the formation of co-amorphous, the solubility of TELwas much improved, and the apparent solubility values were approximately 9-15 times as high as that of crystalline TEL. Moreover, the co-amorphous TEL-PA was stored under 25 °C/20% RH for a month without any evidence of conversion by powder X-ray diffraction analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
