A high-resolution single-crystal X-ray diffraction study of abiraterone acetate (1) has been carried out. The charge density distribution in the crystal of this anticancer drug is reconstructed from experimental data. The nature and the contributions of various intermolecular interactions to the total crystal energy are studied by means of the quantum theory `Atoms-in-Molecules', a non-covalent interactions method and energy framework plots. In general, dispersion C—H...H—C and C—H...π interactions play the main role in crystal packing of 1. The Voronoi tessellation analysis of 1 confirmed that contribution of hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions to the molecular surface is close to their contribution to the total crystal energy. Similar analysis of abiraterone complexes with the cytochrome P450 family demonstrated that contribution of the C—H...H—C and C—H...π interactions to the molecular surface of the drug remains unchanged to fit the binding pocket, despite the presence of water and heme molecules, and hydrophilic groups within the pocket.

High-resolution single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements at 100 K were performed for the two polymorphs of urea–barbituric acid co-crystals: (I) P21/c and (II) Cc. Experimental and theoretical charge density and its properties were analysed for (I) and (II) in order to confirm the previous observation that in the polymorphs studied the barbituric acid molecules adopt different mesomeric forms, leading to different hydrogen-bond systems. Koch and Popelier criteria were applied to distinguish between hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions in the structures presented.
