| Summary: | Ciprofloxacin is a member of fluorquinolone antibiotics which is classified into biopharmaceutics
classification system (BCS) class IV. In present days, ciprofloxacin is marketed as HCl salt due to
its solubility. Cocrystal manufacturing is another approach in the engineering of active
pharmaceutical ingredients to improve biopharmaceutical performance. In this study, a cocrystal
of ciprofloxacin HCl with salicylic acid was prepared to obtain a product with superior solubility
and dissolution profile. Ciprofloxacin HCl and salicylic acid with an equimolar ratio of 1:1 were
dissolved in a combination of methanol-water and ethanol-water solvents. The resulting product
was characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermal analysis with
electro thermal as well as differential thermal analysis (DTA)/thermogravimetry (TG) and
diffractometry with powder X-ray diffractometry (PXRD). Optimization of manufacturing methods
and duration of sonication was carried out to determine the most efficient cocrystal production
process. The solubility and dissolution tests were carried out to compare the performance of
cocrystal to ciprofloxacin HCl. Ciprofloxacin HCl-salicylic acid cocrystal was successfully
obtained from solvent evaporation method using methanol-water (1:1), assisted by sonication for
20 minutes. Characterization with FTIR revealed distinctive peaks at 1697, 1616, 1546 and 3425
cm
-1
representing intermolecular hydrogen bonds formation. Thermal analysis showed
endothermic peaks at 123.5°C; 174.6°C and 221.7°C which represent water evaporation, melting
point and decomposition. Diffractogram revealed several peaks with high intensity at diffraction
angle values of 6.16°; 14.48°; 20.06°; 22.35° and 28.07°. Characterization results suggested that
the multicomponent system obtained was a hydrate cocrystal that had never been discovered
before. The solubility and dissolution test were evaluated using validated method with derivatized
UV-Visible absorption spectrum. Cocrystal increased the solubility of ciprofloxacin HCl 1.3 folds
in pH 1.2 as well as water and 1.1 folds in pH 6.8. During dissolution test, cocrystal reached a
steady state with dissolution percentage over 80%, 90 minutes earlier compared to ciprofloxacin
HCl alone.
