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
Azilsartan is a novel angiotension II receptor blocker primarily used to treat high blood pressure. This is not a formulation-friendly molecule largely due to the inherent water-solubility pitfalls. In this paper, two novel cocrystals of azilsartan (AZ) were studied (AZ-BIP, AZ-BPE; BIP = 4,4-bipyridine, BPE = trans-1,2-bis (4-pyridyl) ethylene) by solution crystallization. The structures of these two cocrystals were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), including the single-crystal structure determination of AZ-BIP and AZ-BPE. In the cocrystals AZ-BIP (2:1) and AZ-BPE (2:1), two AZ molecules and one coformer formed a sandwich structure through N-H … N interactions. These sandwich structures were extended into a one-dimensional structure through O-H … N hydrogen bonds. The equilibrium solubility study demonstrated that the AZ-BIP and AZ-BPE cocrystals both showed higher solubility than azilsartan in water.
