Abstract

Four forms of a salt combining two antitubercular drugs, clofazimine and 4-aminosalicylic acid, are reported and the crystal structure of two of these forms are described. TG/DSC analysis of all four forms demonstrate an increase in the temperature at which degradation (upon decarboxylation) occurs in comparison to pure 4-aminosalicylic acid. Water solubility evaluation indicates a significant increase of the amount of clofazimine detected in water (10.26 ± 0.52 µg/mL for form I, 12.27 ± 0.32 µg/mL for form II, 7.15 ± 0.43 µg/mL for form III and 8.50 ± 1.24 µg/mL for form IV ) in comparison to pure clofazimine (0.20 ± 0.03 µg/mL).
