Review: Effect of Different Methods on the Multicomponents Crystal Formation from Medicinal Natural Ingredient Compounds

Abstract
Solubility is an important parameter for the bioavailability of drugs that are difficult to dissolve. Natural compounds that are included in class II in the Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) are Apigenin, Quercetin, Genistein, Curcumin, and Piperin. These drugs have low solubility in water and high permeability so that they affect the dissolution rate and as well as their bioavailability, to increase the solubility they are made with multicomponent crystals. This review aims to provide information on the method of making crystal multicomponent to increase the solubility and dissolution rate of BCS II drugs. Several methods that can be used in multicomponent are solvent drop grinding, solvent evaporation, assisted grinding, and slurry. The results showed that multicomponent crystals using several methods could increase the solubility and dissolution rates.
