Abstract
Abstract Combination of active pharmaceutical ingredients, trans-4-[(2-amino-3,5-dibrobenzyl) amino] cyclohexanol (AMB) and some organic acids, e.g., p-hydroxybenzoic acid (PHBA), m-hydroxybenzoic acid (MHBA), and 3,4-dihydroxy benzoic acid (DHBA), yield three novel co-crystals characterized by X-ray single-crystal, Fluorescence spectroscopy and thermal analysis (DSC and TGA), which included co-crystal 1 with 2:2: 1 stoichiometry of AMB, PHBA and H 2 O, co-crystal 2 with 1:1 stoichiometry of AMB and MHBA, and co-crystal 3 with 1:1:1 stoichiometry of AMB, DHBA and CH 3 OH. Constituents of the co-crystalline phase were also investigated in terms of Hirshfeld surfaces. In the crystal lattice, a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network is observed, including formation of a two-dimensional molecular scaffolding motif. Hirshfeld surfaces and fingerprint plots of three co-crystals show that structures are stabilized by H⋯H, N–H⋯O, H⋯Br and C⋯H intermolecular interactions. Besides, the studies of the solubility showed that this co-crystal strategy could promote the solubility of AMB and follow the order: co-crystal 1 2 3 .
