ABSTRACT
In a search for new crystalline forms of linezolid with modified thermal properties five cocrystals of this wide range antibiotic with aromatic acids were obtained via mechanochemical grinding and analyzed with single crystal X-ray diffraction, solid-state NMR spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction and DSC measurements. The coformers used in this study were benzoic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, protocatechuic acid, γ-resorcylic acid and gallic acid. In each of the cocrystals distinct structural features have been found, including a variable amount of water and different heterosynthons, indicating that there is more than one type of intermolecular interaction preferred by the linezolid molecule. Basing on the frequency of the observed supramolecular synthons, the proposed hierarchy of the hydrogen-bond acceptor sites of linezolid (LIN) is C=Oamide > C=Ooxazolidone > C-O-Cmorpholine > C-N-Cmorpholine > C-O-Coxazolidone. In addition, aromatic-aromatic interactions were found to be important in the stabilization of the analyzed structures. The obtained cocrystals show modified thermal properties, with four of them having melting points lower than the temperature of the phase transition from linezolid form II to linezolid form III. Such a change in this physicochemical property allows for the future application of melting-based techniques of introducing linezolid into drug delivery systems. In addition a change in water solubility of linezolid upon cocrystalization was evaluated, but only in the case of the cocrystal with protocatechuic acid was there a significant (43%) improvement in solubility in comparison with linezolid.
