It is well known that pyrimidin-4-one derivatives are able to adopt either the 1H- or the 3H-tautomeric form in (co)crystals, depending on the coformer. As part of ongoing research to investigate the preferred hydrogen-bonding patterns of active pharmaceutical ingredients and their model systems, 2-amino-6-chloropyrimidin-4-one and 2-amino-5-bromo-6-methylpyrimidin-4-one have been cocrystallized with several coformers and with each other. Since Cl and Br atoms both have versatile possibilities to interact with the coformers, such asviahydrogen or halogen bonds, their behaviour within the crystal packing was also of interest. The experiments yielded five crystal structures, namely 2-aminopyridin-1-ium 2-amino-6-chloro-4-oxo-4H-pyrimidin-3-ide–2-amino-6-chloropyrimidin-4(3H)-one (1/3), C5H7N2+·C4H3ClN3O−·3C4H4ClN3O, (Ia), 2-aminopyridin-1-ium 2-amino-6-chloro-4-oxo-4H-pyrimidin-3-ide–2-amino-6-chloropyrimidin-4(3H)-one–2-aminopyridine (2/10/1), 2C5H7N2+·2C4H3ClN3O−·10C4H4ClN3O·C5H6N2, (Ib), the solvent-free cocrystal 2-amino-5-bromo-6-methylpyrimidin-4(3H)-one–2-amino-5-bromo-6-methylpyrimidin-4(1H)-one (1/1), C5H6BrN3O·C5H6BrN3O, (II), the solvate 2-amino-5-bromo-6-methylpyrimidin-4(3H)-one–2-amino-5-bromo-6-methylpyrimidin-4(1H)-one–N-methylpyrrolidin-2-one (1/1/1), C5H6BrN3O·C5H6BrN3O·C5H9NO, (III), and the partial cocrystal 2-amino-5-bromo-6-methylpyrimidin-4(3H)-one–2-amino-5-bromo-6-methylpyrimidin-4(1H)-one–2-amino-6-chloropyrimidin-4(3H)-one (0.635/1/0.365), C5H6BrN3O·C5H6BrN3O·C4H4ClN3O, (IV). All five structures showR22(8) hydrogen-bond-based patterns, either by synthon 2 or by synthon 3, which are related to the Watson–Crick base pairs.

The combination of the active pharmaceutical ingredients furosemide [4-chloro-2-(furan-2-ylmethylamino)-5-sulfamoylbenzoic acid] and pentoxifylline [3,7-dimethyl-1-(5-oxohexyl)-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione] produces a 1:1 cocrystal, C12H11ClN2O5S·C13H18N4O3, (I), a 1:1 cocrystal hydrate, C12H11ClN2O5S·C13H18N4O3·H2O, (II), and a 1:1 cocrystal acetone solvate, C12H11ClN2O5S·C13H18N4O3·C2H6O, (III). These structures exhibit the presence of a rarely encountered synthon with the graph setR22(7). All potential hydrogen-bond donors of furosemide participate in hydrogen-bond formation in (I)–(III). However, only two hydrogen-bond acceptors of furosemide are active in (I) and (II), and only one is active in (III). Four hydrogen-bond acceptors of pentoxifylline are active in (II), three in (I) and two in (III). These observations are in good agreement with the calculated packing indexes of 69.5, 69.6 and 68.8% for (II), (I) and (III), respectively.

Active pharmaceutical ingredients such as isoniazid, pyrazinamide and rifampicin are among the most important first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs. A simple, rapid and sensitive reversed phase-high performance liquid chromatographic assay method for the simultaneous determination of isoniazid, pyrazinamide and rifampicin has been developed. Separation of the interest compounds was achieved in a 10 min chromatographic run in gradient elution mode on a Zorbax SB-C18 stainless steel column (150 � 4 mm, 5 mm) using a guard column containing the same stationary phase. The gradient elution was carried out with a mobile phase of 10% CH3CN aqueous solution for channel A and 50% CH3CN in pH = 6.8 phosphate buffer (20 mM), to which 1.5 mL triethylamine were added for channel B. Quantification of the analyzed substances was carried out spectrophotometrically at 269 nm. Detection limits of 0.48 mg/L for isoniazid, 0.52 mg/L for pyrazinamide and 0.48 mg/L for rifampicin were established for the developed assay method. The present work showed that the proposed analysis method was advantageous for simple and rapid analysis of the active pharmaceutical ingredients in pharmaceuticals and biological fluids.

A powerful anion effect destabilizing alkali ion-crown complex formation has been found to operate in moderately concentrated protic (H2O, CH3OH, C2H5OH) solution, following the order HO- > AcO- > Cl- > Br- > NO3- > I- > NCS-. Evidence is provided that the observed effect does not originate from ion-pairing. A simple explanation is provided in terms of concordant hydrogen bond bridges of exalted stability between the gegenions, M+···OR-H···(OR-H)n···OR-H···A-. It is proposed that encapsulation of alkali ion by the macrocyclic ligand leads to a dissipation of the cation charge density destroying its ability to participate in the hydrogen bond bridge. An opposition against the alkali ion-crown complex formation arises accordingly in the solution in dependence on strength of the hydrogen bridge; for a given cation, the hydrogen bond strength increases with increasing anion charge density from NCS- to HO-(RO-). It is pointed out, at the same time, that the observed anion effect does not correlate with the known values of activity coefficients of the individual alkali salts which are almost insensitive to anion variation under the investigated conditions. As a resolution of the apparent paradoxon it is proposed that, in absence of the macrocyclic ligand, the stabilizing (concordant) bonding between the gegenions is nearly balanced by a destabilizing (discordant) hydrogen bonding between the ions of same charge (co-ions). Intrinsic differences among the individual salts are thus submerged in protic solvents and become apparent only when the concordant bonding is suppressed in the alkali ion-crown complex formation.

AbstractThe production of peptides as active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) by recombinant technologies is of emerging interest. A reliable production platform, however, is still missing due the inherent characteristics of peptides such as proteolytic sensitivity, aggregation and cytotoxicity. We have developed a new technology named Numaswitch solving present limitations. Numaswitch was successfully employed for the production of diverse peptides and small proteins varying in length, physicochemical and functional characteristics, including Teriparatide, Linaclotide, human β-amyloid and Serum amyloid A3. Additionally, the potential of Numaswitch for a cost-efficient commercial production is demonstrated yielding > 2 g Teriparatide per liter fermentation broth in a quality meeting API standard.

Agglomeration of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) in tablets can lead to decreased bioavailability in some enabling formulations. In a previous study, we determined that crystalline APIs can be detected as agglomeration in tablets formulated with amorphous acetaminophen tablets. Multiple method advancements are presented to better resolve agglomeration caused by crystallinity in standard tablets. In this study, we also evaluate three “budget” over-the-counter headache medications (subsequently labeled as brands A, B, and C) for agglomeration of the three APIs in the formulation: Acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine. Electrospray laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry imaging (ELDI-MSI) was used to diagnose agglomeration in the tablets by creating molecular images and observing the spatial distributions of the APIs. Brand A had virtually no agglomeration or clustering of the active ingredients. Brand B had extensive clustering of aspirin and caffeine, but acetaminophen was observed in near equal abundance across the tablet. Brand C also had extensive clustering of aspirin and caffeine, and minor clustering of acetaminophen. These results show that agglomeration with active ingredients in over-the-counter tablets can be simultaneously detected using ELDI-MS imaging.

The syntheses, spectral UV–Vis, NMR, and electrochemical as well as photocatalytic properties of novel magnesium(II) and zinc(II) symmetrical sulfanyl porphyrazines with 2-(morpholin-4-yl)ethylsulfanyl peripheral substituents are presented. Both porphyrazine derivatives were synthesized in cyclotetramerization reactions and subsequently embedded on the surface of commercially available P25 titanium(IV) oxide nanoparticles. The obtained macrocyclic compounds were broadly characterized by ESI MS spectrometry, 1D and 2D NMR techniques, UV–Vis spectroscopy, and subjected to electrochemical studies. Both hybrid materials, consisting of porphyrazine derivatives embedded on the titanium(IV) oxide nanoparticles’ surface, were characterized in terms of particle size and distribution. Next, they were subjected to photocatalytic studies with 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran, a known singlet oxygen quencher. The applicability of the obtained hybrid material consisting of titanium(IV) oxide P25 nanoparticles and magnesium(II) porphyrazine derivative was assessed in photocatalytic studies with selected active pharmaceutical ingredients, such as diclofenac sodium salt and ibuprofen.

With the outbreak of the Coronavirus there is a new realization of the vulnerabilities of the U.S. drug supply chain. However, while such concerns may have been amplified by the pandemic, they preceded Covid-19 and were well documented before 2020. Indeed, in past years the U.S. Congress held several hearings addressing potential vulnerabilities in the U.S. drug supply chain, in part due to the increasing dependency on China as a dominant supplier of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and some finished pharmaceutical products. These vulnerabilities go well beyond health policy and constitute a national security concern. The article addresses how U.S. trade policy plays a significant role in shaping the pharmaceutical industry at home and abroad and is in part responsible for some of the current vulnerabilities of the U.S. drug supply chain.
