The physicochemical and biological properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are greatly affected by their salt forms. The choice of a particular salt formulation is based on numerous factors such as API chemistry, intended dosage form, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. The appropriate salt can improve the overall therapeutic and pharmaceutical effects of an API. However, the incorrect salt form can have the opposite effect, and can be quite detrimental for overall drug development. This review summarizes several criteria for choosing the appropriate salt forms, along with the effects of salt forms on the pharmaceutical properties of APIs. In addition to a comprehensive review of the selection criteria, this review also gives a brief historic perspective of the salt selection processes.

Semicarbazones can exist in two tautomeric forms. In the solid state, they are found in the keto form. This work presents the synthesis, structures and spectroscopic characterization (IR and NMR spectroscopy) of four such compounds, namely the neutral molecule 4-phenyl-1-[phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methylidene]semicarbazide, C19H16N4O, (I), abbreviated as HBzPyS, and three different hydrated salts, namely the chloride dihydrate, C19H17N4O+·Cl−·2H2O, (II), the nitrate dihydrate, C19H17N4O+·NO3 −·2H2O, (III), and the thiocyanate 2.5-hydrate, C19H17N4O+·SCN−·2.5H2O, (IV), of 2-[phenyl({[(phenylcarbamoyl)amino]imino})methyl]pyridinium, abbreviated as [H2BzPyS]+·X −·nH2O, with X = Cl− and n = 2 for (II), X = NO3 − and n = 2 for (III), and X = SCN− and n = 2.5 for (IV), showing the influence of the anionic form in the intermolecular interactions. Water molecules and counter-ions (chloride or nitrate) are involved in the formation of a two-dimensional arrangement by the establishment of hydrogen bonds with the N—H groups of the cation, stabilizing the E isomers in the solid state. The neutral HBzPyS molecule crystallized as the E isomer due to the existence of weak π–π interactions between pairs of molecules. The calculated IR spectrum of the hydrated [H2BzPyS]+ cation is in good agreement with the experimental results.

Ten isostructural single-crystal diffraction studies of mixed cation Ca/Sr salt forms of the salicylate anion are presented, namely catena-poly[[diaquacalcium(II)/strontium(II)]-bis(μ2-2-hydroxybenzoato)], [Ca1–x Sr x (C7H5O3)2(H2O)2] n , where x = 0, 0.041, 0.083, 0.165, 0.306, 0.529, 0.632, 0.789, 0.835 and 1. The structure of an isostructural Sr/Ba species, namely catena-poly[[diaquastrontium(II)/barium(II)]-bis(μ2-2-hydroxybenzoato)], [Sr0.729Ba0.271(C7H5O3)2(H2O)2], is also described. The Ca/Sr structures form a series where, with increasing Sr content, the unit cell expands in both the crystallographic a and c directions (by 1.80 and 3.18%, respectively), but contracts slightly in the b direction (−0.31%). The largest percentage structural expansion lies parallel to the direction of propagation of the one-dimensional coordination polymer that is the primary structural feature. This structural expansion is thus associated with increased M—O distances. Aqueous solubility measurements show that solubility generally increases with increasing Sr content. Thus, tuning the composition of these mixed counter-ion salt forms leads to systematic structural changes and allows solubility to be tuned to values between those for the pure Ca and Sr species.

New salt forms of the antioxidant drug emoxypine (EMX, 2-ethyl-6-methylpyridin-3-ol) with pharmaceutically acceptable maleic (Mlt), malonic (Mln) and adipic (Adp) acids were obtained {emoxypinium maleate, C8H12NO+·C4H3O4 −, [EMX+Mlt], emoxypinium malonate, C8H12NO+·C3H3O4 −, [EMX+Mln], and emoxypinium adipate, C8H12NO+·C6H9O4 −, [EMX+Adp]} and their crystal structures determined. The molecular packing in the three EMX salts was studied by means of solid-state density functional theory (DFT), followed by QTAIMC (quantum theory of atoms in molecules and crystals) analysis. It was found that the major contribution to the packing energy comes from pyridine–carboxylate and hydroxy–carboxylate heterosynthons forming infinite one-dimensional ribbons, with [EMX+Adp] additionally stabilized by hydrogen-bonded C(9) chains of Adp− ions. The melting processes of the [EMX+Mlt] (1:1), [EMX+Mln] (1:1) and [EMX+Adp] (1:1) salts were studied and the fusion enthalpy was found to increase with the increase of the calculated lattice energy. The dissolution process of the EMX salts in buffer (pH 7.4) was also studied. It was found that the formation of binary crystals of EMX with dicarboxylic acids increases the EMX solubility by more than 30 times compared to its pure form.

Abstract We examined 17 lots of 2-oxoglutarate (seven acid forms, three K salt forms, and seven Na salt forms), obtained from eight commercial suppliers, for suitability for measuring aspartate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.1) and alanine aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.2) in human serum. Measurements of the catalytic activity concentrations of these two aminotransferases with each of these 17 preparations were not sufficiently sensitive to distinguish good from poor-quality material. Thus, we ranked these lots for purity, by specific analysis with glutamate dehydrogenase and by liquid chromatography, and determined the water content, acid content, and spectral characteristics of each. On the basis of a 2-oxoglutarate assay value by glutamate dehydrogenase of 98% or greater, we considered seven of the preparations acceptable and 10 unacceptable. The molar absorptivities (L X mol-1 X cm-1, mean +/- SD) of the seven acceptable lots in 1 mol/L HCl were: epsilon 325 nm = 9.12 +/- 0.02 (CV = 0.2%), epsilon 279 nm = 2.63 +/- 0.23 (CV = 9.9%), and epsilon 245 nm = 37.9 +/- 4.1 (CV = 10.9%). Use of these spectrophotometric limits alone unambiguously distinguished the inferior lots of 2-oxoglutarate. We urge the inclusion of detailed spectrophotometric specifications for 2-oxoglutarate in Reference Methods for aminotransferase measurements.

The author, after explaining the methods hitherto proposed for purifying the phosphoric acid of bone earth, and pointing out their inconveniences, mentioned that the chief difficulty was the separation of the magnesia always present in bone earth. The lime, it has been for some time known, may be entirely removed by means of sulphuric acid. In repeating the process of Liebig, which did not succeed in his hands, and which requires the use of alcohol, he found that, after the separation of the lime, there is obtained, by evaporation and heating, a clear and colourless glass, containing all the magnesia: that this glass dissolved completely by boiling in water; but that the solution, if again evaporated and heated to 600° for a quarter of an hour in a platinum capsule, became turbid, and deposited the whole magnesia as an insoluble salt. When water was added, so as to dissolve the phosphoric acid, and the insoluble salt separated by the filter, the filtered liquid was found absolutely free from magnesia, and was a solution of pure phosphoric acid.

Abstract Background Indacaterol maleate delivered with the Breezhaler® inhalation device is a long-acting β2-agonist approved for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In the development of a once daily, inhaled fixed dose combination (FDC) of indacaterol, glycopyrronium bromide (a long-acting muscarinic antagonist), and mometasone furoate (an inhaled corticosteroid [ICS]) for the treatment of patients with asthma, the acetate salt of indacaterol is used instead of the maleate salt. Here, we investigated the lung function, pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of indacaterol maleate 150 μg once daily (o.d.) and indacaterol acetate 150 μg o.d. in comparison with placebo. Methods This was a randomised, double-blind, three-period crossover study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier, NCT03257995) in patients with asthma on background ICS therapy. Patients with percent predicted pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume per second (FEV1) ≥50% and ≤ 90% were included in the study. Patients received indacaterol maleate 150 μg o.d., indacaterol acetate 150 μg o.d., or placebo on top of stable background ICS in randomised sequence. Trough FEV1 was assessed after 14 days of treatment. PK of indacaterol salts were assessed at steady state after 14 days of treatment; peak expiratory flow (PEF) rate and rescue medication use were collected with a combined PEF-meter/electronic diary throughout the study. Results Of the 54 adult patients (median age of 48 years), 51 patients completed the study. Both indacaterol salts demonstrated statistically significant improvements in trough FEV1 of 186 mL (maleate) and 146 mL (acetate) compared with placebo (both P < 0.001). FEV1 AUC0-4h improved by 248 mL (maleate) and 245 mL (acetate), and PEF by 33 L/min (maleate) and 30.8 L/min (acetate) versus placebo. Systemic exposure of indacaterol (AUC0-24h,ss and Cmax,ss on Day 14) was comparable after administration of both salt forms. Both salt forms demonstrated a good safety profile and were well tolerated, with a difference in the reporting frequency of AEs of coughing (maleate, 23.5%; acetate, 0%). Conclusions In patients with asthma, indacaterol maleate and acetate elicited comparable and significant improvements in lung function compared with placebo and achieved comparable systemic exposure. Both indacaterol salts were safe and well tolerated. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03257995 June 06, 2017
