Torsemide Crystalline Salts with a Significant Spring-Parachute Effect
Abstract
Torsemide is a long acting pyridine sulfonylurea diuretic. Torsemide hydrochloride is widely used now, there are only a few organic acid salts reported. Cocrystallization with organic acids is an effective way to improve its solubility. Here, we reported maleate and phthalate of torsemide, in which the organic acid lost a proton transferring to the pyridine of torsemide, and torsemide interacted with organic acid through N+ - H⋯O- hydrogen bond to form salts crystal. Surprisingly, maleate showed a clear "spring" pattern in apparent solubility, whereas phthalate had a "spring-parachute" effect. Both crystalline salts kept a higher solubility than torsemide without falling. The "spring-parachute" effect of crystalline salts promoted rapid dissolution of torsemide and kept a high concentration, thereby increasing its bioavailability.
