Abstract
Two mixed crystals were obtained by crystallizing the active pharmaceutical ingredient pyridoxine [systematic name: 4,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)-2-methylpyridin-3-ol, PN] with (E)-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-enoic acid (ferulic acid) and 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid (syringic acid). PN and the coformers crystallize in the form of pharmaceutical salts in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio, namely 3-hydroxy-4,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)-2-methylpyridin-1-ium (E)-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-enoate, C8H12NO3+·C9H9O5-, and 3-hydroxy-4,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)-2-methylpyridin-1-ium 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzoate monohydrate, C8H12NO3+·C10H11O5-·H2O, the proton exchange between PN and the acidic partner being supported by the differences of the pKa values of the two components and by the C - O bond lengths of the carboxylate groups. Besides complex hydrogen-bonding networks, π-π interactions between aromatic moieties have been found to be important for the packing architecture in both crystals. Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to explore the intermolecular interactions in detail and compare them with the interactions found in similar pyridoxine/carboxylic acid salts.Two new pharmaceutical salts containing pyridoxine, one member of the vitamin B6 family, and ferulic and syringic acids, respectively, were obtained and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The intermolecular interactions between the anions and cations were analyzed in detail and compared with the interactions found in similar pyridoxine cocrystals/salts.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
