	abstract = {Albendazole (ABZ) is a class II safe and effective antihelmintic drug in the benzimidazole group according to the BCS (Biopharmaceutics Classification System) with low solubility (9 mg L-1) and high permeability (log P 2.54). Novel salts and salt hydrates of ABZ are reported with benzene and p-toluene sulfonic acid (BSA, PTSA), as well as carboxylic acids such as oxalic acid (OA), maleic acid (MLE), L-tartaric acid (LTA), 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,6-DHBA), and 2,4,6-trihydroxybenzoic acid (2,4,6-THBA). The products ABZ-BSA, ABZ-BSA-H, ABZ-PTSA, ABZ-PTSA-H, ABZ-OA-H and ABZ-2,6-DHBA were confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. In the hydrate structures (designated as -H), the water molecule acts as a bridge in the hydrogen bonding network. The salt formation of ABZ-MLE, ABZ-LTA, and ABZ-2,4,6-THBA was confirmed by N-15 ss-NMR based on the chemical shift change of ca. 50 ppm. The sulfonate salt hydrates exhibit 2D isostructurality, and position disorder in the thiopropyl group in the drug crystal structure was not observed in the salts. Crystal lattice energies were calculated for the MLE, LTA, and 2,4,6-THBA complexes of ABZ to confirm the molecular salt formation. The cocrystals of ABZ with the hydroxybenzene carboxylic acids are novel salts in the benzimidazole drugs class.},

	abstract = {<p>New crystalline forms of bumetanide, namely, four cocrystals, two salts, and one salt-cocrystal were crystallized. Urea and lactams such as valerolactam, caprolactam, and N-methyl caprolactam formed cocrystals with bumetanide, whereas 4-aminopyridine gave a salt. Piperazine afforded a salt hydrate, and 5-fluorocytosine gave a salt-cocrystal. The supramolecular synthons in bumetanide-lactam cocrystals are an amide dimer between drug and coformer, and acid homo dimer between bumetanide molecules. In bumetanide salts, the acid proton is transferred from bumetanide to coformer amine, whereas in bumetanide salt-cocrystal proton transfer and free acid were observed in the crystal structure. Similarly, the cytosine salt-cocrystal of bumetanide and fluorocytosine also gave a salt-cocrystal adduct. The acid proton of bumetanide is transferred to the 2-amino pyridine base of cytosine as a salt, and on the other side of the drug molecule the sulfonamide interacts with the syn amide part of cytosine. Furthermore, solubility, dissolution, and diffusion membrane permeability experiments were performed on all new solid forms. The piperazine salt shows high dissolution and permeability crossover when compared to other binary forms of bumetanide.</p>
