Abstract
Many bioactive nutraceuticals naturally occurring in food materials possess beneficial biological activities, while their use as functional supplements is subjected to hydrophobicity and crystallinity. Currently, inhibiting crystallization for such nutrients is of immense scientific interest. Here, we exploited diverse structural polyphenols as potential inhibitors for restraining Nobiletin crystallization. Specifically, the crystallization transition process could be influenced by the polyphenol gallol density, Nobiletin supersaturation (1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 mM), temperature (4, 10, 15, 25 and 37 ℃), and pH (3.5, 4, 4.5, 5), important factors for regulating the binding attachment and interactions. The optimized samples could be guided by NT100 lied in 4 ℃ at pH 4. Besides, the main assembly driving force was hydrogen-bonding cooperated with π-π stacking and electrostatic interaction, leading to a Nobiletin/TA combination ratio of ∼ 3:1. Our findings proposed an innovative synergistic strategy for inhibiting crystallization and broaden potential applications of polyphenol-based materials in advanced biological fields.

Abstract
Amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) is a promising strategy to enhance solubility and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. Due to higher free energy of ASD, supersaturated drug solution could be generated during dissolution. When amorphous solubility of a drug is exceeded, drug-rich nanodroplets could form and act as a reservoir to maintain the maximum free drug concentration in solution, facilitating the absorption of the drug in vivo. Dissolution behavior of ASD has received increasing interests. This review will focus on the recent advances in ASD dissolution, including the generation and maintenance of supersaturated drug solution in absence or presence of liquid-liquid phase separation. Mechanism of drug release from ASD including polymer-controlled dissolution and drug-controlled dissolution will be introduced. Formation of amorphous drug-rich nanodroplets during dissolution and the underlying mechanism will be discussed. Phase separation morphology of hydrated ASD plays a critical role in dissolution behavior of ASD, which will be highlighted. Supersaturated drug solution shows poor physical stability and tends to crystallize. The effect of polymer and surfactant on supersaturated drug solution will be demonstrated and some unexpected results will be shown. Physicochemical properties of drug and polymer could impact ASD dissolution and some of them even show opposite effect on dissolution and physical stability of ASD in solid state, respectively. This review will contribute to a better understanding of ASD dissolution and facilitate a rational design of ASD formulation.

Abstract
In the previous study, the development of amorphous curcumin (CUR) aimed to enhance the solubility/dissolution of CUR by disrupting its crystal lattice, but it unexpectedly showed a decreased dissolution than its crystalline counterpart on account of gel formation in its dissolution process. Whether such gelation could be eliminated by co-amorphous strategy was answered in this study. Herein, CUR by co-amorphization with chlorogenic acid (CHA) was successfully prepared using quench cooling. The formed co-amorphous material (namely CUR-CHA CM) eliminated the gelation and hence performed superior dissolution performance than crystalline/amorphous CUR. Meanwhile, it exhibited higher physical stability than amorphous CUR during dissolution as well as under long-term/accelerated conditions. To further study the such enhancement mechanism, the internal molecular interactions were investigated for CUR-CHA CM in the solid state as well as in aqueous solution. FTIR and solid-state 13C NMR spectra confirmed that intermolecular hydrogen bonds formed between CUR and CHA after co-amorphization. Furthermore, the nucleation of CUR was significantly inhibited by CHA in an aqueous solution, thus maintaining the supersaturated dissolution for a long time. The present study offers a feasible strategy to eliminate gelation and enhance stability of amorphous solids by co-amorphization and crystallization inhibition.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE In the Indian traditional system of medicine, Bergenia ligulata (Wall.) Engl. has been used for treatment of urolithiasis. Its efficacious nature has led to its incorporation in various commercial herbal formulations such as Cystone and Neeri which are prescribed for kidney related ailments. AIM OF THE STUDY To assess whether ethanolic extract of B. ligulata can mitigate the cascade of inflammatory responses that cause oxidative stress and ultimately cell death in renal epithelial cells exposed to hyperoxaluric conditions. MATERIAL AND METHODS Bioactivity guided fractionation using solvents of varying polarities was employed to evaluate the potential of the extracts of B. ligulata to inhibit the crystallization process. Modulation of crystal morphology was visualized through Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. Cell death was assessed using flow cytometry based assays. Alteration in the inflammatory mediators was evaluated using real time PCR and immunocytochemistry. Phytochemical characterization of the ethanolic extract was carried out using FTIR, LC-MS and GC-MS. RESULTS Bioactivity guided fractionation for the assessment of antilithiatic activity revealed dose dependent inhibition of nucleation and aggregation process of calcium oxalate crystals in the presence of various extracts, however ethanolic extract showed maximum inhibition and was chosen for further experiments. Studies on renal epithelial NRK-52E cells showed, cytoprotective efficacy of B. ligulata extract against oxalate injury. SEM anaysis further revealed the potential of the extract to modulate the crystal structure and adhesion to renal cell surface. Exposure of the renal cells to the extract led to conversion of the calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) crystals to the less injurious calcium oxalate dihydrate (COD) form. Expression analysis for oxidative stress and inflammatory biomarkers in NRK-52E cells revealed up-regulation of Mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK), Osteopontin (OPN) and Nuclear factor- ĸB (NF-ĸB), in response to calcium oxalate insult; which was drastically reduced in the presence of B. ligulata extract. Flow cytometric evaluation pointed to caspase 3 mediated apoptotic cell death in oxalate injured cells, which was attenuated by B. ligulata extract. CONCLUSION Considering the complex multifactorial etiology of urolithiasis, ethanolic extract from B. ligulata can be a promising option for the management of kidney stones, as it has the potential to limit inflammation and the subsequent cell death.

Abstract
Amorphous inorganic materials have a great potential in material science. Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is a widely useable system, however, its stabilization often turns out to be difficult and the synthesis is mostly limited to precipitation in solution as nanoparticles. Stable ACC in bulk phases would create new composite materials. Previous work described the enzyme-induced mineralization of hydrogels with crystalline calcium carbonate by entrapping urease into a hydrogel and treating this with an aqueous mineralization solution containing urea und calcium chloride. Here, this method was modified using a variety of crystallization inhibitors attached to the hydrogel matrix or added to the surrounding mineralization solution. It was found that only N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine (PMGly) in solution completely inhibits the crystallization of ACC in the hydrogel matrix. The stability of the homogeneously precipitated ACC could be accounted to the combination of stabilizing effects of the additive and stabilization through confinement. The crystallization could be accelerated at higher temperatures up to 60 °C. Here, a combination of Mg ions and PMGly was required to stabilize ACC in the hydrogel. Variation of these two compounds can be used to control a number of different calcium carbonate morphologies within the hydrogel. While the ACC nanoparticles within the hydrogel are stable over weeks even in water, a calcite layer grows on the surface of the hydrogel, which might be used as self-hardening mechanism of a surface.

Abstract
Solid dispersion is a widely used method to improve the dissolution and oral bioavailability of water-insoluble drugs. However, due to the strong hydrophobicity, the drug crystallization in the release media after drug dissolution and the resulted decreased drug absorption retards the use of solid dispersions. It is widely known that the amphiphilic copolymer can encapsulate the hydrophobic compounds and help form stable nano-dispersions in water. Inspired by this, we tried to formulate the solid dispersion of nimodipine by using amphipathic copolymer as one of the carriers. Concerning the solid dispersions, there are many important points involved in these formulations, such as the miscibility between the drug and the carriers, the storage stability of solid dispersions, the dissolution enhancement and so on. In this study, a systemic method is proposed. In details, the supersaturation test and the glass transition temperature (Tg) measurement to predict the crystallization inhibition, the ratios of different components and the storage stability, the interactions among the components were investigated in detail by nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and, the final dissolution and oral bioavailability enhancement. It was found that the amphiphilic copolymer used in the solid dispersion encouraged the formation the drug loading micelles in the release media and, finally, the problem of drug crystallization in the dissolution process was successfully solved.

Abstract
Amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) is a well-established approach to improve the dissolution rate of the drugs with low water solubility. However, the application of the ASD was hindered by the low drug content and high risk of re-crystallization of drugs. The purpose of this research was to develop an ASD film with high content of amorphous olanzapine (OLN) for oral delivery. To overcome the high crystallization tendency of OLN in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films, three dicarboxylic acids (succinic acid (Suc), fumaric acid (Fum) and malic acid (Mal)) were introduced in the drug-in-polymer system as linkers between the drug and the polymer. The influence of the linkers on the re-crystallization of OLN in PVA films was evaluated by polarized light microscopy (PLM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD). Then, the possible mechanisms of crystallization inhibition were discussed based on the results of dielectric spectroscopy (DES), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR), Raman spectroscopy and molecular modeling. Finally, the effect of the linkers on the in vitro dissolution of the OLN-in-PVA films was studied in simulant saliva, and the in vivo performance of the optimal formulation was evaluated in rats. The results showed that OLN-in-PVA film have lower molecular mobility, lower electrical conductivity and stronger intermolecular interactions with the existence of Mal, which led to a better crystallization inhibition of OLN in PVA films. The re-crystallization of OLN in PVA films decreased the dissolution rate of OLN in simulant saliva. The in vivo performance of the optimal formulation was similar with that of OLN solution in rats. This study introduced a novel strategy to reduce the risk of drug re-crystallization in ASD, and also provided a deeper insight into the mechanisms of crystallization inhibition in ASD. The results will improve the judicious selection of excipients in pharmaceutical formulations.

Abstract
To overcome the chemical and metabolic stability issues of l-cystine dimethyl ester (CDME) and l-cystine methyl ester (CME), a series of l-cystine diamides with or without Nα-methylation was designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their inhibitory activity of l-cystine crystallization. l-Cystine diamides 2a-i without Nα-methylation were found to be potent inhibitors of l-cystine crystallization while Nα-methylation of l-cystine diamides resulted in derivatives 3b-i devoid of any inhibitory activity of l-cystine crystallization. Computational modeling indicates that Nα-methylation leads to significant decrease in binding of the l-cystine diamides to l-cystine crystal surface. Among the l-cystine diamides 2a-i, l-cystine bismorpholide (CDMOR, LH707, 2g) and l-cystine bis(N'-methylpiperazide) (CDNMP, LH708, 2h) are the most potent inhibitors of l-cystine crystallization.

Abstract
Amorphous solid dispersions of thiamine chloride hydrochloride (THCl) were created using a variety of polymers with different physicochemical properties in order to investigate how effective the various polymers were as THCl crystallization inhibitors. THCl:polymer dispersions were prepared by lyophilizing solutions of THCl and amorphous polymers (guar gum, pectin, κ-carrageenan, gelatin, and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)). These dispersions were stored at select temperature (25 and 40°C) and relative humidity (0, 23, 32, 54, 75, and 85% RH) conditions and monitored at different time points using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Moisture sorption isotherms of all samples were also obtained. Initially amorphous THCl was produced in the presence of ≥40% w/w pectin, κ-carrageenan, gelatin, and guar gum or ≥60% w/w PVP. Trends in polymer THCl crystallization inhibition (pectin≥κ-carrageenan>gelatin>guar gum≫PVP) were primarily based on the ability of the polymer to interact with THCl via hydrogen bonding and/or ionic interactions. The onset of THCl crystallization from the amorphous dispersions was also related to storage conditions. THCl remained amorphous at low RH conditions (0 and 23% RH) in all 1:1 dispersions except THCl:PVP. THCl crystallized in some dispersions below the glass transition temperature (Tg) but remained amorphous in others at T~Tg. At high RHs (75 and 85% RH), THCl crystallized within one day in all samples. Given the ease of THCl amorphization in the presence of a variety of polymers, even at higher vitamin concentrations than would be found in foods, it is likely that THCl is amorphous in many low moisture foods.

Abstract
Developing amorphous solid dispersions of water-insoluble molecules using polymeric materials is a well-defined approach to improve the dissolution rate and bioavailability. While the selected polymer plays a vital role in stabilizing the amorphous solid dispersion physically, it is equally important to improve the dissolution profile by inhibiting crystallization from the supersaturated solution generated by dissolution of the amorphous material. Furthermore, understanding the mechanism of dissolution rate enhancement is of vital importance. In this work, wetting kinetics was taken up as an alternative approach for understanding the enhanced dissolution rate for amorphous solid dispersion of a poorly soluble drug. While cilostazol (CIL) was selected as the model drug, povidone (PVP), copovidone, and hypromellose (HPMC) were the polymers of choice. The concentrations against time profiles were evaluated for the supersaturated solutions of CIL in the presence and absence of the selected polymers. The degree of supersaturation increased significantly with increase in polymer content within the solid dispersion. While povidone was found to maintain the highest level of supersaturation for the greatest length of time both in dissolution and solution crystallization experiments, copovidone and hypromellose were found to be the less effective as crystallization inhibitor. The ability of polymers to generate and maintain supersaturated drug solutions was assessed by dissolution studies. The wetting kinetics was compared against the solid dispersion composition to establish a correlation with enhanced dissolution rate.

Abstract
Sumatriptan succinate (SS) is a 5-HT1 receptor agonist used in the treatment of migraine having poor bioavailability (15%) due to its extensive first-pass effect. The aim of this work was to prepare SS sublingual fast dissolving thin films (SFDTFs) allowing the drug to directly enter the systemic circulation and bypassing the first-pass metabolism. Plain thin films were prepared using solvent casting technique adopting 2(3) × 3 factorial design to study the effect of polymer and plasticizer type and concentration on mechanical properties and in vitro disintegration time of the plain prepared films using Design-Expert®. Medicated films were prepared after addition of 35 mg SS to each of the two selected plain formulae (F6 and F7) having desirability values above 0.9 showing the values of: 0.038, 0.039 kgf/mm(2) and 156.24, 164.16% and 0.0248, 0.0240 kgf/mm(2) as tensile strength, percent elongation and elastic modulus, respectively. PVP K30 was efficient as crystallization inhibitor in retarding SS crystallization. Pharmacokinetic study of the optimum formula F7 (PVP K30:SS (1:1 w/w)) in healthy human volunteers using LC/MS/MS revealed a shorter tmax (0.25 h) compared to Imitrex® tablet 25 mg (2 h) which is considered promising especially for the rapid relief of acute migraine attacks.
