Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Crystal structures of ketoconazole oxalate salt (1) and three co-crystals with fumaric (2), succinic (3), and adipic (4) acids in 1:1 stoichiometry were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction in which 1 forms oxalate dimers involved in ionic interaction with the imidazole ring of ketoconazole molecules, while 2-4 display 4-member circuit networks between hydrogen-bonded ketoconazole and coformer molecules. The salt and co-crystal nature of 1-4 was confirmed by combining single-crystal X-ray diffraction, ss-NMR, and lattice energy calculations. Ketoconazole molecules show highly similar conformations and crystal packing in co-crystals 2 and 3, while different conformers are present in the 1, 2, and 4 structures. For all salt and co-crystals, powder dissolution measurements revealed a significant solubility improvement compared to ketoconazole, and the solubility of 1-4 is contrary to the solubility values of the corresponding acids. A 100-fold solubility increase in water was obtained by ketoconazole co-crystallization with fumaric and adipic acids. Additionally, 1-4 are stable in suspensions for at least 1 week and on storage at 40 C/75% RH for at least 4 months. The melting points of 1, 3, and 4 are in line to their solubility, while the solubility difference between the highly similar co-crystals 2 and 3 is reflected in their different lattice energy. Our study emphasizes the benefit of crystal engineering in the landscape of the formulation techniques used to enhance the dissolution rate of poorly water-soluble drugs such as ketoconazole. © 2013 American Chemical Society.
