Abstract
Multidrug salts represent more than one drug in a crystal lattice and thus could be used to deliver multiple drugs in a single dose. It showcases unique physicochemical properties in comparison to individual components, which could lead to improved efficacy and therapeutic synergism. This study presents the preparation and scale-up of sulfamethoxazole-piperazine salt, which has been thoroughly characterized by X-ray diffraction and thermal and spectroscopic analyses. A detailed mechanistic study investigates the impact of piperazine on the microenvironmental pH of the salt and its effect on the speciation profile, solubility, dissolution, and diffusion profile. Also, the improvement in the physicochemical properties of sulfamethoxazole due to the formation of salt was explored with lattice energy contributions. A greater ionization of sulfamethoxazole (due to pH changes contributed by piperazine) and lesser lattice energy of sulfamethoxazole-piperazine contributed to improved solubility, dissolution, and permeability. Moreover, the prepared salt addresses the stability issues of piperazine and exhibits good stability behavior under accelerated stability conditions. Due to the improvement of physicochemical properties, the sulfamethoxazole-piperazine salt demonstrates better pharmacokinetic parameters in comparison to sulfamethoxazole and provides a strong suggestion for the reduction of dose. The following study suggests that multidrug salts can concurrently enhance the physicochemical properties of drugs and present themselves as improved fixed-dose combinations.
