Multicomponent Solid Forms as Modifying Agents for Drugs with Solubility Problems

Dear Colleagues,

The formation of solid multicomponent pharmaceutical forms has become very relevant in recent years because a drug's physicochemical and biological properties can be easily and directly modified without it being covalently modified. The following may be relevant within the wide variety of multicomponent forms that can be obtained: cocrystals/salts, coamorphous, and eutectic mixtures.

Although significant progress has been made in developing methods to produce these multicomponent solid forms, finding efficient and easy-to-perform preparation methods still represents a challenge; given their many possible applications, there is a growing need to use these solid forms as modifying agents for drugs with solubility problems.

Thus, this Special Issue aims to contribute to the discussion of advances in the understanding of methods for obtaining multicomponent pharmaceutical forms with the main goal of altering the solubility properties of drugs that exhibit this problem.

This call for papers is open for both articles and reviews.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Pharmaceutics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
