摘要
A new cocrystalline form of metronidazole (MET) with propyl gallate (PRO), referred to as MET-PRO, has been successfully synthesized and characterized. Structural characterization reveals that MET and PRO are present in a 1:1 ratio within the cocrystal lattice, with one water molecule equivalent incorporated into the structure. This arrangement facilitates the formation of MET-PRO heterodimers and multiple stable units, collectively constructing a three-dimensional supramolecular network. The solubility and permeability of the current cocrystal, along with the parent drug MET, are evaluated under physiological pH conditions. Experimental findings reveal that MET within the cocrystal exhibits a 1.54-2.37 folds increase in solubility and approximately a threefold improvement in permeability compared to its standalone form. Intriguingly, these concurrent enhancements in the physicochemical properties of MET lead to augmented antibacterial activity in vitro, evidenced by a reduction in minimum inhibitory concentration. Even more intriguingly, the enhanced physicochemical properties observed in vitro for the current cocrystal translate into tangible pharmacokinetic benefits in vivo, characterized by prolonged half-life and enhanced bioavailability. Consequently, this research not only introduces a fresh crystal structure for antibacterial medication but also presents approach for optimizing drug properties across in vitro and in vivo settings, while concurrently bolstering the antibacterial effectiveness of MET through pharmaceutical cocrystallization techniques.
