Introduction

This book offers a multidisciplinary exploration of eutectic mixtures (EMs) as a strategy for overcoming poor aqueous solubility, dissolution and bioavailability of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Beginning with foundational pharmaceutical concepts, it progresses through the physicochemical, thermodynamic and solid-state fundamentals of EMs, their preparation and characterization, computational prediction of solubility behavior and applications across oral, topical, transdermal and advanced drug delivery systems.

Key Features

• - Comprehensive coverage from drug fundamentals to industrial applications of EMs.
• - Preparation methods: mechanical, solvent-assisted, fusion and innovative techniques.
• - Analytical and characterization tools (DSC, TGA, PXRD, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, microscopy).
• - Computational approaches for predicting solubility and EM behavior.
• - Experimental evaluation of drug release, toxicity and safety.
• - Insights into drug coformer selection strategies.

Target Readership :

Undergraduates, postgraduates, research scholars and professors/researchers.
