Characterization of donepezil prepared by cogrinding
with salicylic acid and p-aminobenzoic acid
Weenawan Somphon*, Sirimol Makatan
ABSTRACT: Two systems for the formation of cocrystals of donepezil were investigated using donepezil hydrochloride
and donepezil solvate with salicylic acid and p-aminobenzoic acid. The donepezil solvate was prepared through an acidbase reaction between a hydrochloride salt and a base in methanol. Donepezil HCl (DH) and the solvate with salicylic
acid and p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) at 1:1 molar ratios were prepared using the cogrinding method. Cocrystals
were characterized using attenuated total reflection-FTIR spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance
spectroscopy (13C and 1H NMR), Powder X-ray diffraction, and differential scanning calorimetry. These results indicate
that the cogrinding process could induce cocrystal formation in donepezil systems through a simple process that allows
for rapid screening of cocrystals of donepezil.
