Daidzein (7,4' -dihydroxyisoflavone, DAI) is an isoflavone found in soybeans and Pueraria. DAI has potential therapeutic benefits on cancer and osteoporosis yet has quite low solubility, limiting its use. Herein a cocrystal screening of DAI with pyridine-derived molecules, i.e., nicotinamide, isonicotinamide, caffeine, d -Proline, l -Proline and 4,4' -Bipyridine was conducted. A new cocrystal of Daidzein and 4,4' -Bipyridine (DAI-BIP) was successfully generated via grinding and solvent methods. DAI-BIP showed an increased solubility and dissolution rate. In comparison to DAI, there was a 2.03-fold increase of the dissolution performance parameter for DAI-BIP where the concentration observed for DAI quickly reached the equi- librium solubility and continued to reach 1.49 times DAI solubility. A parachute effect was also observed during the dissolution of DAI-BIP, indicating that BIP might be able to maintain the supersaturated state of DAI in solution proving DAI’s ability to form cocrystals of higher solubility and enhanced dissolution properties through co-crystallisation
Description
Daidzein has extremely poor water solubility affecting its bioavailability even with high doses. To achieve the therapeutic effects of Daidzein, the aim of this research project is to design multi-component crystal forms of Daidzein cocrystals with improved solubility and dissolution rate to maximize its therapeutic effect.
