To evaluate the absorption of pioglitazone hydrochloride (PGH) cocrystals in SD rats and improve the problems of poor solubility and low bioavailability of PGH.
Cocrystals of pioglitazone hydrochloride-para aminobenzoic acid, pioglitazone hydrochloride-para-aminosalicylic acid and pioglitazone hydrochloride-gallic acid were prepared by suspension method. PGH and 3 cocrystals were characterized by a variety of analytical techniques, and the concentration of PGH in rat plasma was determining by high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) to analyze the pharmacokinetic parameters of cocrystals.
The 3 cocrystals all showed good stability and solubility. Cocrystals of pioglitazone hydrochloride-para aminobenzoic acid and pioglitazone hydrochloride-gallic acid could significantly improve the bioavailability, peak concentration (Cmax), and area under the curve (AUC) of oral PGH in rats.
Cocrystallization is an important method to change PGH solubility and absorption characteristics in vivo.
