Abstract Theophylline co-crystals have been synthesised by pharmaceutical co-crystallisation with nicotinamide, succinic acid and glutaric acid in a stoichiometry of 1:1 and 2:1 molar ratios. This goal was achieved through the enhancement of physicochemical properties of poorly soluble BCS Class I drug like theophylline. So we use Solution-Based and Solid State Crystallisation)The morphological, bonding, and crystalline phases of the samples were characterised using POM, FTIR, and PXRD. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Single Crystal X-Ray Diffraction data were initially intended for both compounds, but this proved impossible due to a lack of instruments/access availability, as no suitable crystals could be grown in the case of AIBO3. The results obtained reveal a FTIR peak shift, morphological changes detected by POM, and differential PXRD patterns, which collectively provide evidence of the successful formation of a co-crystal, primarily in the case of nicotinamide and glutaric acid. Succinic acid gave weak or inconsistent results. This study presents a rapid and inexpensive method for co-crystal screening of theophylline systems.
