Abstract

A novel 1:1 cocrystal between two cardiovascular drugs, aspirin (ASA) and ligustrazine (tetramethylpyrazine, TMP) has been synthesized and characterized. The structure of this drug-drug cocrystal, ASA-TMP, was determined using single crystal X-ray crystallography. The ASA-TMP cocrystal exhibits a significantly reduced sublimation tendency than TMP. Importantly, cocrystallization simultaneously improves bioavailability of both parent drugs. This suggests the possibility of developing a more effective antithrombosis drug therapy given the synergistic pharmacological effects of the two parent drugs.
