Abstract
This study investigates the use of Broadband Acoustic Resonance Dissolution Spectroscopy (BARDS) as a detection method for the formation of cocrystals. BARDS is a novel approach that uses reproducible changes in the compressibility of a solvent as a sample dissolves to characterize and differentiate between materials and in this case cocrystallization. Two cocrystal systems with a 1:1 stoichiometry were examined, which used benzoic acid as a coformer with isonicotinamide and with theophylline. Cocrystals were prepared using dry and wet milling for periods from 1 to 40 min, and samples were analyzed using infrared spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and BARDS. Comparison of the BARDS data with the IR and PXRD data cross-validated the BARDS results. This study shows that BARDS can be used to rapidly assess the formation of these cocrystals at-line when milling or as a relatively low cost tool in preformulation product development. The data can also be used to gauge the unique entrained gas and gas volum...
