Abstract

Eutectic systems, including eutectic salts, deep eutectic solvents, and eutectic molecular mixtures, have recently been shown to have enormous potential in a number of technological and scientific endeavors. Eutectic mixtures, along with other binary systems including solid dispersion, cocrystals, and inclusion complexes, could be used simultaneously to improve a number of drugs, including stability, permeability, and dissolution. Over the past few years, their usefulness in the pharmaceutical field has expanded. On a laboratory scale and an industrial scale, eutectics could be produced quite readily (and occasionally spontaneously). In order to fully utilize eutectics in the pharmaceutical industry, it is essential to understand their preparation process, characteristics, and evaluation criteria as well as how they affect drug dissolution.
