    Abstract This review is aimed to provide to an "educated but non-expert" readership and an overview of the scientific, commercial, and ethical importance of investigating the crystalline forms (polymorphs, hydrates, and co-crystals) of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). The existence of multiple crystal forms of an API is relevant not only for the selection of the best solid material to carry through the various stages of drug development, including the choice of dosage and of excipients suitable for drug development and marketing, but also in terms of intellectual property protection and/or extension. This is because the physico-chemical properties, such as solubility, dissolution rate, thermal stability, processability, etc., of the solid API may depend, sometimes dramatically, on the crystal form, with important implications on the drug's ultimate efficacy. This review will recount how the scientific community and the pharmaceutical industry learned from the catastrophic consequences of the appearance of new, more stable, and unsuspected crystal forms. The relevant aspects of hydrates, the most common pharmaceutical solid solvates, and of co-crystals, the association of two or more solid components in the same crystalline materials, will also be discussed. Examples will be provided of how to tackle multiple crystal forms with screening protocols and theoretical approaches, and ultimately how to turn into discovery and innovation the purposed preparation of new crystalline forms of an API.

    Abstract The possibility of obtaining cocrystals of kojic acid with organic coformers has been investigated by both computational and experimental approaches. Cocrystallization attempts have been carried out with about 50 coformers, in different stoichiometric ratios, by solution, slurry, and mechanochemical methods. Cocrystals were obtained with 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, imidazole, 4-pyridone, DABCO, and urotropine, while piperazine yielded a salt with the kojiate anion; cocrystallization with theophylline and 4-aminopyridine resulted in stoichiometric crystalline complexes that could not be described with certainty as cocrystals or salts. In the cases of panthenol, nicotinamide, urea, and salicylic acid the eutectic systems with kojic acid were investigated via differential scanning calorimetry. In all other preparations the resulting materials were constituted of a mixture of the reactants. All compounds were investigated by powder X-ray diffraction; the five cocrystals and the salt were fully characterized via single crystal X-ray diffraction. The stability of the cocrystals and the intermolecular interactions in all characterized compounds have been investigated by computational methods based on the electronic structure and pairwise energy calculations, respectively.

    Abstract Co-crystallization of kojic acid (HKA) with silver(I), copper(II), zinc(II), or gallium(III) salts yielded three 1D coordination polymers and one 0D complex in which kojic acid was present as a neutral or anionic terminal or bridging ligand. All reactions were conducted mechanochemically via ball milling and manual grinding, or via slurry. All solids were fully characterized via single-crystal and/or powder X-ray diffraction. As kojic acid is a mild antimicrobial compound that is widely used in cosmetics, and the metal cations possess antibacterial properties, their combinations were tested for potential antibacterial applications. The minimal inhibition concentrations (MICs) and minimal biocidal concentrations (MBCs) for all compounds were measured against standard strains of the bacteria P. aeruginosa , S. aureus , and E. coli . All compounds exerted appreciable antimicrobial activity in the order of silver, zinc, copper, and gallium complexes.
